The earth rolled, dust and sand flew, mountains collapsed, and countless rocks tumbled down, the thunderous roar echoing in all directions. Beneath the feet of the crowd, the tremors grew stronger, as if something was about to break through the ground. At that moment, the entire Northern Mountain experienced a massive landslide!
"Oh my God, why is the mountain shaking so violently? What is happening?" someone in the crowd exclaimed anxiously.
In mid-air, surrounded by Vital Energy, Bai Xingchen, who was originally about to attack Fang Chen, lowered his head and gazed intently at the ground beneath everyone’s feet. A fleeting look of surprise crossed his otherwise flawless and handsome face.
"That thing has awakened," he murmured to himself, a strange glimmer flashing in his eyes. However, he soon furrowed his brows and muttered, "That thing only awakens once every ten years. It has only been three years since the last awakening; why has it awakened early this time? Could it be..."
Bai Xingchen's gaze swept over to Fang Chen, who also wore an expression of shock not far away. He shook his head, dismissing the absurd thought that had briefly crossed his mind. At the same time, a signature gentle smile appeared on his lips as he took a step toward Fang Chen, with Vital Energy moving along with him until he stood just a few yards away from Fang Chen.
"Hand it over." The simple two words carried an unyielding dominance; the collapse of the Northern Mountain did nothing to hinder Bai Xingchen's actions.
As he spoke, the Vital Energy around him surged rapidly. A giant hand, several yards in size, suddenly reached out toward Fang Chen. Simultaneously, as Bai Xingchen waved his sleeve, the space around Fang Chen seemed to freeze, rendering him completely unable to evade.
Sister Qinglian, who had slightly retreated, sighed at this scene but showed no intention of intervening.
"Fang Chen!" Beside her, Lian Yiyue cried out in alarm. Her stunningly beautiful face was now pale with fear. Despite being at the Body Refinement Realm and significantly weaker than Fang Chen, she moved swiftly toward him.
"You’ve protected me so many times; this time, let me stand in front of you," Lian Yiyue murmured to herself, her beautiful face filled with determination as she rushed toward Fang Chen like a moth drawn to a flame.
However, at that moment, her figure suddenly froze mid-flight before she collapsed limply to the ground.
"Fool." Shaking her head, Sister Qinglian flicked her sleeve and enveloped the unconscious Lian Yiyue in a gentle force. Her gaze swept toward Fang Chen and then back to Bai Xingchen as he prepared to strike again. She sighed softly; a shadow of sorrow crossed her face before she retreated once more.
Bai Xingchen had already gathered enough Vital Energy to surpass her strength. Even if she used all her trump cards to intimidate him, it was clear she wouldn’t risk everything for someone like Fang Chen.
Though she greatly admired and believed in this freakish genius, the cost of intervening was too high. Moreover, even if she did intervene, she had no absolute confidence in success. Therefore...
After a soft sigh, Qinglian turned her gaze away; she could almost foresee what would happen next—and it was not something she wished to see.
The giant hand of Vital Energy reached out toward Fang Chen. Bai Xingchen stood atop the Vital Energy with his white robe like snow—noble and unmatched—his face adorned with a gentle smile and an expression of calmness as if he had everything under control. His demeanor exuded an ethereal quality that left others in awe.
On the opposite side, Fang Chen's handsome face was enveloped in a sense of deathly silence. His originally fair complexion had taken on an unusual flush due to the immense pressure surrounding him, appearing somewhat ferocious and terrifying. He remained silent, his fists tightly clenched, and his cold, flickering eyes were fixed intently on Bai Xingchen.
"Haha, it's over..." Song Nanfeng laughed heartily.
From Bai Xingchen's initial strike to Sister Qinglian's intervention, and now to this moment, the events had been quite tumultuous. Song Nanfeng had once thought that under Sister Qinglian's protection, Fang Chen would likely escape this calamity. Now, witnessing the scene before him, how could he not laugh with delight?
The laughter echoed loudly, clear even amidst the flying sand and collapsing rocks. Unlike the newly arrived youths like Song Donglai in Ziyang Sect, Song Nanfeng had heard many rumors and understood well what lay beneath Beishan. He was also aware that every time it seemed Beishan was about to collapse, it never actually did; after a while, calmness would return.
Even though this time seemed somewhat different from usual, Song Nanfeng still did not believe anything unusual would occur. After all, this was Ziyang Sect, guarded by supreme beings of the Daoist Master Realm; whatever lay beneath could hardly stir up any real trouble.
"A bunch of ignorant fools, panicking like this. Can't they see that none of the elders from the Sect have come?" Looking at the frightened crowd around him, Song Nanfeng sneered in disdain.
Just then...
"Roar!"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from beneath the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Countless rocks exploded at that moment. The youths who had been somewhat unsteady on their feet were thrown far away.
The mockery on Song Nanfeng's face froze as he looked around; there were hardly any left standing. Shocked, he felt a jolt in his heart. Even with his strength, he had nearly been thrown off balance by that roar.
"Howl!"
At that moment, a second earth-shattering roar shot into the sky. Within the roar was an astonishing Killing Intent that surged forth like an invisible force, sweeping outward in all directions.
Puff! Puff! Puff...
The people who had been thrown into the air were now pale, blood gushing uncontrollably from their mouths as the invisible force swept through.
"What... is happening..." Feeling the invisible force rapidly approaching him, Song Nanfeng's expression changed drastically, his face filled with horror as he desperately channeled his Dan Qi and fled towards the outskirts of Beishan.
However, almost as soon as he moved, his body suddenly froze mid-air. A large mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth, transforming into a mist of crimson that drifted away.
Glancing back in terror, the look of shock on Song Nanfeng's face did not diminish as he continued to flee frantically.
At the same time, not far away, Sister Qinglian, holding Lian Yiyue in her arms, suddenly trembled and let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth. She did not dare to hesitate and, like everyone else, began to escape towards the outskirts of Beishan.
At this point, everyone understood that this change in Beishan was unlike any before; an unpredictable mutation had occurred!
Those who had been thrown away or were fleeing left behind only Bai Xingchen and Fang Chen in what was once a bustling Servants' Area.
"No one can save you," Bai Xingchen said coldly, his voice booming like a judgment.
Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the Vital Energy surrounding Bai Xingchen was trembling continuously, with numerous signs of collapse appearing at its edges. A hint of pallor was subtly visible on his otherwise flawless face. Clearly, he was not as unaffected by the invisible force as he appeared.
Gazing apprehensively towards a certain direction deep within Beishan, Bai Xingchen did not dare to be careless. With a flicker of cold light in his eyes, he stepped towards Fang Chen. The massive hand of Vital Energy had been crushed in mid-air by the sudden invisible force just before it could reach Fang Chen, leaving him unharmed. Now, Bai Xingchen's Vital Energy had to withstand this frenzy of invisible power and could not be easily mobilized; thus, he had to take action himself once more.
"This time, who else can save you?" Bai Xingchen sneered. By now, he had lost all patience. Taking a step forward, he appeared right in front of Fang Chen and pointed at him.
Just then, his gaze sharpened slightly. In front of him stood Fang Chen, who seemed utterly defenseless against this overwhelming attack. Yet there was no sign of fear on Fang Chen's face; instead, there was a clear hint of mockery on his flushed cheeks.
Does this guy still have some means to turn things around?
A thought flashed through Bai Xingchen's mind before his pupils suddenly constricted. He realized he had overlooked something extremely important.
Previously, during the rampage of the invisible force, every martial artist remaining on Beishan had been greatly affected—some were thrown away while others spat blood. Even he would have suffered minor injuries if it weren't for his Vital Energy. Yet this guy before him seemed completely unscathed!
Is this Mutation really related to him?!
Bai Xingchen couldn't believe it, but no matter what, he had no reason to hold back at this moment. A powerful treasure related to a strong figure from the Nirvana Realm was enough to drive him crazy! Moreover, what was happening now was merely speculation.
He knew very well what was sealed beneath Beishan; how could such an existence possibly be connected to someone who had just entered the Sect?
Comforting himself, Bai Xingchen's finger was less than three inches away from Fang Chen's forehead, poised to strike. Once this finger landed, Fang Chen's cultivation would be completely destroyed, suffering unimaginable damage, and his martial arts future would be severed.
However, at that moment...
"Roar!"
The earth-shattering roar echoed for the third time!
At this moment, the winds and clouds twisted violently. On Beishan, countless mountain peaks exploded simultaneously, and terrifying cracks tore through the ground, unleashing an unimaginable Killing Intent that surged forth.
Deep within Beishan, black mist erupted like smoke signals from the ground, soaring into the sky. Amidst the thick black mist, two crimson lights flickered, directly aimed at the location of Fang Chen and Bai Xingchen.
Bai Xingchen maintained his posture with a finger pointed at Fang Chen, his white jade-like finger less than an inch away from him. However, at this moment, his body trembled, and his flawless handsome face was filled with extreme horror, losing all previous calmness and composure as if he had encountered an unimaginable terror!
