Immortal Mountain’s “Family”

Someone from the Immortal Mountain finally stood out. Everyone’s stomach lurched, feeling great pressure, to the extent that they were horrified. It was because the cultivators from that place were too terrifying.

Everyone knew that there weren’t many of them, and they didn’t travel across many regions. They were more like a hidden family that resided in a corner. However, they were powerful enough to contend against the Heaven Mending Sect and Western Sect, intimidate all regions, and look down on the world.

“I knew that after their descendants were humiliated, there was no way they would let this matter go. Now, they are going to make things difficult.” A cultivator’s eyes flickered with radiance.

Immortal Mountain was an unmatched inheritance that was known to exist forever with the world. There were ancient experts who didn’t age and didn’t die. They had always lived until the present world and were above all great sects.

At this moment, even the experts from outside this region couldn’t calm down. No matter who this ancient inheritance targeted, it definitely wouldn’t end well.

This bloodline normally kept a low profile, but once they fought with others, they would definitely attack with lightning speed, sweeping through their enemies without leaving behind any hidden dangers.

“Shi Hao is astonishingly talented and can look down on his peers, but now that he provoked the Immortal Mountain, his future path is completely cut off,” an older generation cultivator sighed.

Everyone knew who Shi Hao was now. Once he grew up, he might become a true supreme being, unmatched in the heavens above and earth below!

However, he had provoked an Immortal Mountain that was normally unaffected by the mortal world, yet was extremely protective of its disciples. He was in a dangerous situation. This genius might very well die prematurely.

The Immortal Mountain was extremely mysterious. Immortal and undying deities lived in seclusion there, and they could overlook all living things. If they targeted anyone, even the Archaic Divine Mountains would be razed to the ground.

Everyone spoke softly, but their voices weren’t loud. It was because they were scared of upsetting the Immortal Mountain’s people. It was clear that the middle-aged man who stood out was extremely powerful.

Moreover, even if those people of the Immortal Mountain weren’t capable cultivators, no one dared to publicly provoke them because their backgrounds were too terrifying.

“Since the two of you are related to him, just come over,” said the middle-aged man, looking at the big red bird and the Nine-Headed Lion.

“Where did you come from? Who are you? You’re acting like the son of the heavenly king. I’m not scared of you!” The big red bird always spoke like this, and it was never willing to suffer a loss, let alone when it was feeling good about itself.

Everyone was petrified. This “crow” really had a bit of character. When it saw the Immortal Mountain’s people, it still spoke rudely and wasn’t scared at all. It really was formidable.

“Did you not hear what I said?!” The middle-aged man said coldly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried great dignity.

The Nine-Headed Lion stood there, exuding an extremely powerful might. This was the embodiment of power after its bloodline was revived.

It didn’t reply, but its golden pupils erupted with radiance. Its race had always been powerful since ancient times and had its own dignity. They had even eaten divine kings before.

“Old brat, you’re out of your mind! Don’t try to threaten me! I’m not scared of you!” The big red bird challenged.

Whoosh!

The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a streak of symbol light rushed out like a silver shuttle. The sound of ripping air was like thunder, and the noise was extremely loud. It carried large amounts of symbols as it suppressed downward.

Everyone was shocked. It was just a casual strike, yet it was already so powerful. This middle-aged man was extremely formidable!

“A King-level figure!” Someone said quietly.

When supreme experts sealed their mountains and the most powerful tried to make a living, noble kings were the most powerful existences. They could do whatever they wanted in the wasteland region.

The middle-aged man from Immortal Mountain had such power, so everyone’s expressions became serious. Normally speaking, when dealing with a younger generation, such a figure shouldn’t be involved.

Even in outer regions, this person still had extremely high status. It was because supreme experts normally cultivated on their own and didn’t interfere with the affairs of the mortal world.

Crack!

The big red bird croaked like a crow and flew away. Its expression was a bit unsightly. It didn’t dare face this person head-on, or else it would undoubtedly die.

“Lion King, your turn!” It hid behind the Nine-Headed Lion.

That streak of silver light flew over, striking toward the Nine-Headed Lion in the arena, wishing to seal it together with the big red bird.

Roar…

The lion’s roar was like thunder, and golden waves smashed into the sky. The Nine-Headed Lion spat out nine golden symbols, condensing them into a killing formation. Clanging sounds rang out as it blocked the silver shuttle.

With a boom, the nine golden symbols collided with that silver shuttle. Symbol light filled the sky, and patterns interweaved, forming a dazzling rain of light.

The Nine-Headed Lion’s entire body shone. It was sent flying by that tremendous force, almost falling off the arena. Fortunately, it didn’t suffer a disaster because it wasn’t struck by the silver shuttle.

“You’re just a little lion, yet you dare act so viciously in front of me. Taking you back as a mount isn’t a bad choice.” The middle-aged man’s expression was extremely indifferent.

He took action again. This time, a lightning symbol appeared in his palm. It flickered with purple light and was about to be activated. When a king-level figure took action, how many people in the younger generation could stop him?

Everyone’s expressions became serious. The creatures of the wasteland region naturally didn’t want the Nine-Headed Lion to be suppressed by others, and the creatures from outside this region didn’t want a mount that could move even deities to fall into the hands of the Immortal Mountain.

“My friend, wait a moment. This is a gathering, so please don’t make a big fuss. Moreover, the one you are looking for isn’t them.” An elder stood out.

It was one of Huo Ling’er’s uncles. He was clearly instructed by Huo Ling’er to speak, wishing to stop this person and save the golden lion to avoid being suppressed.

“This is Immortal Mountain’s matter. Fire Nation shouldn’t get involved.” The middle-aged man’s expression was cold as he spoke.

When the Fire Nation’s experts heard this, they all felt a bit offended. No matter what, this was still Fire Nation, yet this middle-aged man was so domineering and wouldn’t show them any respect.

“Please take a seat. There is no need to bicker with a younger generation,” said the Fire Clan’s elder.

“What if I say no?” The middle-aged man from the Immortal Mountain said coldly, showing no consideration.

Huo Ling’er frowned slightly and clenched her delicate fists. She asked her uncle to speak, hoping that they wouldn’t take action for the time being. However, her uncle was humiliated, which upset her.

“Princess, don’t pay any attention to this self-righteous man. Who does he think he is? So what if he’s from the Immortal Mountain? If he’s unreasonable, I’ll still beat him up!” The big red bird arrogantly shouted.

It was normally quite shameless and would never be bullied. No matter how great the Immortal Mountain’s background was, it still wanted to ridicule them. Of course, it didn’t want to suffer a loss either. After all, it still had some confidence in itself.

The expressions of all the experts changed. The crow questioned the Immortal Mountain and didn’t think much of the latter. That was so bold. Just how many people in this world dared to mock this ancient sect?

“Silence!” The middle-aged man berated, taking action again. He rose into the air, about to fly onto the arena.

“Lion, take the sword! Kill him!” The big red bird handed the broken black sword to the Nine-Headed Lion because it knew that only in the hands of an even more powerful expert could this sword display its greatest power.

The Nine-Headed Lion didn’t hold back either. When facing a king-level figure, it had to borrow such a magical artifact, or else it wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning. Even if it obtained great natural luck during these years, it would still be difficult for it to defy the heavens.

The black broken sword floated in front of him. The lion opened its mouth and spat out golden multicolored light that looked like an expanse of sparkling stellar radiance. Then, the light ignited, pouring in astonishing divine force.

With a rumbling sound, the broken sword shone, and dark radiance erupted. It quickly rushed out like an expanse of black lightning. The scene was terrifying.

The Immortal Mountain expert’s expression changed. He reached out a large hand, erupting with dazzling symbols. He avoided the radiance, wishing to grab the Nine-Headed Lion in his hand.

However, this sword’s radiance was too sharp. Its brilliance was intimidating, and the divine might was awe-inspiring, which chilled the man to the bone. This was at least a Saint-level magical artifact!

After realizing this, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, avoiding the sword radiance and moving several dozen meters outward. Then, he rushed over from another direction, wishing to suppress the golden lion.

The Immortal Mountain’s people entered the wasteland region relatively late, so they didn’t know about this sword’s origins. As a result, this man almost suffered greatly as soon as the battle started.

“You are just a little lion, yet you actually used a holy sword to protect yourself. It seems like I’ve underestimated you. However, you won’t go any further. Even if you have such a magical artifact the difference between our levels is too great, and you can’t surpass it.” The middle-aged man sneered.

What he said was the truth. Once one entered the Formation Arrangement Realm, their strength would skyrocket. The first few cultivation realms were to solidify one’s foundation, and this cultivation realm was the embodiment of true experts.

Be it the usage of symbols or comprehension, they all entered a new world. From its name, one could see that the so-called formation was the activation of symbols that had been accumulated before.

Whoosh.

The Nine-Headed Lion didn’t say anything. It spat out another expanse of golden multicolored light, which wrapped around this broken sword, making it erupt. Sword energy immediately interweaved, and divine radiance surged.

Everyone’s eyelids jumped. This golden lion was too fierce. After activating this broken sword, it actually forced the Immortal Mountain king to continuously back up, not daring to face it head-on.

In fact, even if it was a king at the Formation Arrangement Realm, no one dared to clash head-on with the holy sword or divine sword. They could only avoid its murderous aura and attack from the side.

The Formation Arrangement Realm expert from Immortal Mountain never expected the Nine-Headed Lion to be so powerful. Its methods were extraordinary, turning the black sword into a part of its body and sustaining the sword energy. The expert couldn’t get to the lion right away.

The middle-aged man became serious. Fortunately, his movement was fast enough. Although he didn’t dare to face the lion head-on, he could still dodge. He moved around the arena to find an opportunity to take action.

Soon after, the entire arena turned golden. The Nine-Headed Lion displayed its might. Symbols surged, activating the broken sword. It hacked horizontally and vertically, and sword energy surged into the heavens.

Brilliant light immediately erupted, and multicolored light looked like clouds. The fluctuation was extremely shocking, making many creatures feel intimidated.

This was a great battle!

Even though Immortal Mountain’s expert was extremely powerful, he didn’t have any holy artifacts on him, so he couldn’t do anything to the Nine-Headed Lion. He was furious. He said that he was going to suppress this golden lion, but he just couldn’t take it down.

Moreover, the real target hadn’t even been shown yet. He was fighting a great battle against Shi Hao’s previous mount, but he couldn’t take the lion down. That was so humiliating!

Boom!

In the end, he continuously formed imprints, releasing waves of divine force. His movement immediately became many times faster. Moreover, because the golden lion continuously used the broken sword, its divine force was greatly exhausted, so the sword energy wasn’t as concentrated. The Immortal Mountain’s expert seized this opportunity and forced his way forward.

“Damn it!” The big red bird cried out miserably.

To everyone’s surprise, a streak of sword energy hacked over from the sky, immediately injuring the Immortal Mountain’s expert. He was almost cut in half at the waist.

Whoosh!

A second streak of sword energy arrived from above. With a thump, one of the expert’s arms fell onto the ground.

Everyone was completely silent. That was the king-level expert of the Immortal Mountain! How could he have been defeated? Who dared to injure him like this?!
