Chapter 477: Chapter 433: Evenly Matched
On the highest peak of Iron Palm Mountain.
Jiang Yuebai, from afar, saw the raging flames in the direction of the back mountain and the streams of people rushing there, and she smiled.
Stepping over two Foundation Establishment Disciples she had knocked down, Jiang Yuebai held a Dragon Scale Dagger and quickly sliced open the Great Array Barrier outside the main hall. Before the barrier could react, she executed the Smoke Escape, her body like blue smoke, instantly entering the hall.
Though she was very fast, the disturbance here was sure to attract Yi Zhengyang’s attention, and she needed to move quickly.
Jiang Yuebai released the Green Armor Bee Swarm, along with the Dragonfly Little Demon and Butterfly Little Demons, handing several empty storage bags to the little demons.
"Gather all the valuable things here. If you can’t take something, call out to me. Notify me immediately if you find the Cloud-Breaking Charge."
The Dragonfly Little Demon nodded, dragging the storage bags, and led the little demons and the bee swarm to scatter throughout the grand hall, raiding and ransacking like a swarm of locusts.
Jiang Yuebai released the Puppet Avatar and the Crane Feather Avatar, along with Little Green, expanding her Divine Sense to swiftly inspect the entire hall.
During the process, Jiang Yuebai discovered some areas covered by barriers, most of which were easily broken under the Fire Dragon Small Sword of the Puppet Avatar and the Feathers of the Crane Feather Avatar.
There was one place, however, that managed to repel the Crane Feather, surprisingly powerful.
Jiang Yuebai moved to the back hall, where a mural of the Barbarian God Demon Suppression Map was carved on the side wall.
"Why does this Barbarian God look so much like the appearance of Fang Family disciples in Kongfang City after they activate the Giant Barbarian Bloodline? Could it be that the Iron Palm Master has ties with the Fang Family?"
Jiang Yuebai first used the Dragon Scale Dagger to scratch against the wall, causing a shower of sparks, and the Barbarian God on the relief suddenly broke free, transforming into an illusion, roaring at Jiang Yuebai.
Little Green flew to protect its master, the entire lantern crashing into the Barbarian God Illusion.
Boom!
The immense force pushed Jiang Yuebai back; even Little Green could not shatter the Barbarian God Illusion. Jiang Yuebai’s eyes grew stern, her white hair fluttering as a gold-red blaze ignited, sending sparks in all directions.
Phoenix True Fire fiercely burned toward the Barbarian God, and after just three breaths, the Barbarian God Illusion gradually dissipated, the entire wall crumbling suddenly, revealing a crack wide enough for a person to pass through.
The scent of blood intermingled with a chilling aura wafted from within. Jiang Yuebai glimpsed through the gap into a small secret room, where the walls and floor were covered with bizarre blood-colored runes. The runes transformed into lock chains connected to a large black cauldron in the center, filled with a sinister Demonic Qi.
Noises came from the entrance of the grand hall. Jiang Yuebai turned her head to see Yi Zhengyang storming up to her, and she quickly retreated, evading the frontal attack.
At this time, Jiang Yuebai, apart from her hair returning to its original white color, still appeared as the dark, ugly maid from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Yi Zhengyang glanced at the broken side wall, re-evaluating Jiang Yuebai, remaining on full alert.
"You could break the Barbarian God’s Seal—your cultivation is likely beyond Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."
Jiang Yuebai smirked, her aura rising steadily, soon reaching the Early-Stage Golden Core.
"You saw through it. Master Zhengyang, your eyes are truly sharp."
The elevation in Jiang Yuebai’s cultivation left Yi Zhengyang surprised, his eyes brightening.
One Golden Core ascending to the Nascent Soul is risky, but with two, he would certainly form a Nascent Soul!
"Master Zhengyang, we accidentally ended up here and mean no offense. We only wish to retrieve our Cloud-Breaking Charge and leave, so please return the Cloud-Breaking Charge. Henceforth, we’ll not cross paths."
Yi Zhengyang squinted, scrutinizing Jiang Yuebai, flipping his hand to take out an item—it was the long-lost Cloud-Breaking Charge, with a shocking crack remaining on it, unusable.
"Want the Cloud-Breaking Charge? Then... take it back!"
Yi Zhengyang suddenly smashed the Cloud-Breaking Charge toward Jiang Yuebai. Almost at the same moment, a vast swath of Golden Light gathered in Yi Zhengyang’s palm, forming a massive palm, striking toward Jiang Yuebai with the speed of lightning, impossible for a normal person to evade.
The violent palm wind blew away the bangs on Jiang Yuebai’s forehead, revealing her eyes, smiling bright as stars.
Jiang Yuebai raised her hand, catching the Cloud-Breaking Charge, the Primordial Magnetic Ruler shooting skyward. The Primordial Magnetic Power forcibly altered the direction of the Golden Light Giant Palm, barely grazing Jiang Yuebai’s face.
Boom!
The wild wind swept through, the grand hall shook, the wall behind Jiang Yuebai was blown apart completely, and the scattered Golden Light shaved the forest behind the hall down to flat ground.
Little Green suddenly appeared behind Yi Zhengyang, the Evil Fire fierce, ramming like a wild ox.
Yi Zhengyang shuddered all over, and the Barbarian God Illusion flashed across him, crashing fiercely into Little Green, and the Evil Fire instantly set the Barbarian God Illusion’s entire body ablaze.
The Barbarian God Illusion gradually shattered within the firelight, and Yi Zhengyang looked on in amazement as Little Green quickly retreated to guard beside Jiang Yuebai.
"Primordial Magnetic Power? Spiritual Artifact?"
Yi Zhengyang’s eyes were intense, staring unwaveringly at the Primordial Magnetic Ruler floating in front of Jiang Yuebai and Little Green, casting invisible ripples that enveloped Jiang Yuebai in Primordial Magnetic Power, forcing all Gold Element moves away, unable to approach.
"What a fine treasure, but unfortunately, whether it’s the treasure or the person, everything must stay here today!"
Yi Zhengyang’s whole body surged with killing intent, an incomparably strong and violent aura crashing like stormy waves.
Vajra Demon Suppression Palm!
A majestic aura bore down, Yi Zhengyang pushed his palms forward, and an enormous Vajra Stone Tablet instantly formed, its fierce and domineering fist intent swept across the land like ocean waves, tearing off the grand hall’s roof, the ground tiles crushed to powder.
The suffocating aura weighed heavily on Jiang Yuebai, her whole body tense and trembling, feeling like facing an Early-Stage Nascent Soul expert.
She hadn’t encountered an evenly matched opponent like this in a long time!
The mountain-like Vajra Stone Tablet crushed forward irresistibly, and Little Green burst forth with a vast expanse of milky white Mystic Turtle Pill Fire, quickly forming a turtle shell illusion in front of Jiang Yuebai.
The Primordial Magnetic Ruler also stirred up a large mass of black Magnetic Sand, defending tightly on both sides.
Boom!
The Vajra Stone Tablet violently smashed through the dual layers of protection, the Mystic Turtle Pill Fire, and the Magnetic Sand Wall, the powerful aura exploding, flattening the entire hall into the ground, only the chamber covered in Blood Talismans remained intact.
The Dragonfly Little Demon, hidden in various spots, was swept away by the blast. Fortunately, the Green Armor Bee Swarm formed a Green Armor Protection, suffering heavy casualties, preventing the little demons from perishing.
The Vajra Stone Tablet had not shattered, continuing to grind backward.
Jiang Yuebai’s robes flapped wildly, bearing an almost unmatched force, as a Dragon Scale Illusion flashed on her body, her internal organs one by one bursting, her aura rapidly rising to the true peak, Phoenix True Fire swirling around her, a White Dragon Spear piercing through the air.
Roar!!
The Winged Dragon roared, crashing into the Golden Stele.
A tremendous noise shattered the sky like a star bursting, the blinding light illuminating the night. Amidst the overwhelming airwaves, the entire highest peak of Iron Palm Mountain shattered with a roar, countless boulders falling like meteors, trailing long tails of flames, crashing toward all parts of Iron Palm Mountain.
The entire Iron Palm Mountain, inside and out, was blasted to pieces, full of cries of pain.
Thankfully, the Mountain Protection Array activated in time, raising a gale to absorb and expel the rampaging aftermath inside and outside Iron Palm Mountain.
The light of the Mountain Protection Array grew dimmer, and the Spiritual Energy concentration inside Iron Palm Mountain evidently decreased.
Yi Zhengyang stood amidst the falling meteors, gazing in shock at Jiang Yuebai, surrounded by white dragons, standing with a spear, the Phoenix True Fire flying in the wind. That aura was clearly not just Early-Stage Golden Core.
After igniting the five furnaces, Jiang Yuebai’s aura pushed straight toward Nascent Soul.
This time, it was Yi Zhengyang’s turn to feel suffocating and intensely terrified. Such ability, in the Green Dragon Realm, she must be extraordinary, especially the white dragon illusion entwining her—that was clearly the legendary Winged Dragon, far surpassing the Dragon God in the Green Dragon Realm.
Who was she, truly?
Yi Zhengyang instinctively knew he had stirred up a huge problem, but the mistake was made, reconciliation now was impossible, and the only option was...
To follow through, to eradicate her completely, erase all traces!
Yi Zhengyang’s entire being was boiling with murderous intent again, palm winds surging, shattering meteors around him as he charged mercilessly at Jiang Yuebai’s vital points.
Jiang Yuebai intended to test her current limits, quickly recalling the surrounding little demons and bee swarm, holding back the two avatars and Little Green, standing alone with the spear, to confront head-on.
