Chapter 517: Show Up & Explode
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“No, something must have gone wrong!” Seeing no traces of Bai Lan, Yun Tianhe’s heart sank. “Ming Luo, Ming Chen, unlock the seal of Greensword Mountain!”
“What? Uncle Tianhe, how can… ” Ming Luo and Ming Chen were astounded when they heard what Yun Tianhe said. That was not what they had planned. In their plan, Bai Lan was to deal with the Evil Fire Kylin, while Yun Tianhe was in charge of the Splendid Landscape Map. His task was to make sure nothing would go wrong. The Splendid Landscape Map was not only a Pure Yang Celestial Device of Upper Grade, but also a Highest Heaven Celestial Device. It could not be defeated so easily.
Though these disciples had solid cultivation, without Yun Tianhe, they were reluctant to manipulate this Highest Heaven Celestial Device.
“Shut up. Can’t you see that something must have happened to Junior Sister Bai Lan? Otherwise, she would have been here already!” Yun Tianhe’s voice suddenly became harsh and serious. “Our master has attached great importance to Junior Sister Bai Lan. If something bad happens to her, will you be responsible for it?”
After hearing Yun Tianhe’s words, Ming Luo and Ming Chen were both terrified. It was true. Bai Lan’s position in their sect was even higher than Yun Tianhe. Therefore, Yun Tianhe’s role was to assist Bai Lan to implement this action. Now the Evil Fire Kylin had appeared, but there was no sign of Bai Lan. They were also confused about that. If Bai Lan was fine, she would have been the first to show up and fight in the front line. Why hadn’t she shown up yet?
Thinking about it, they dared not say anything more. Exchanging several eye contacts, they took over from Yun Tianhe. Yun Tianhe snorted and unlocked the restriction on Greensword Mountain, dashing into Greensword Mountain and rushing to the Evil Fire Kylin.
The Evil Fire Kylin was on the run. It utilized the Earth-escaping Skill to flee under the ground, feeling very sure that no one would be able to catch it. Suddenly, it felt the earth around it hardening, becoming as solid as metal.
“The Golden Touch Skill?”
It sneered and was soon surrounded by a layer of metallic light.
The Gold-escaping Skill!
Evil Fire Kylin was an expert in using the Escaping skill of Five Elements. Fire-escaping Skill, Earth-escaping Skill, Gold-escaping Skill, Wood-escaping Skill and even Water-escaping Skill were all part of its Natal Powers.
“It doesn’t feel right!”
The Gold-escaping Skill it used this time didn’t seem to enable it to walk as freely under the ground as it should. Instead, it was difficult to move even a single step.
“That wasn’t the Golden Touch Skill!”
While it was still in a confused state, suddenly a tremendous power propelled it up from the ground below. Then a giant hand made of pneuma shot from the sky, captured it and imprisoned it in the middle of its palm.
“Who is it?”
“What a terrifying power!”
“Is this the Splendid Landscape Map?”
“Damn it. The people of Youxian Temple has released the Splendid Landscape Map and covered the Greensword Mountain!”
Everyone who was present was shocked by this incident. After a while, they realized that it was the people from Youxian Temple who had activated the Splendid Landscape Map and taken control over the entire Greensword Mountain.
“Are those people of Youxian Temple going crazy? How can they take control the Splendid Landscape Map now that they have opened it ?”
They were not too bothered that Youxian Temple had sealed Greensword Mountain with the Splendid Landscape Map. They thought that Youxian Temple was only able to separate the underground fire vein from Greensword Mountain. It was not a big deal. Youxian Temple had not included the entire Greensword Mountain into the Splendid Landscape Map.
Sealing a mountain was different from including a mountain into the Splendid Landscape Map. Sealing a mountain would only allow Youxian Temple to take advantage of being a host. However, if Greensword Mountain was included into the Splendid Landscape Map, it meant that Youxian Temple was totally in charge. It was like they were playing the role of God in the Splendid Landscape Map. Everything would be under their control.
But it was not easy for them to include both Greensword Mountain and underground fire vein into the Splendid Landscape Map. As a top player in Pure Yang Celestial Devices and as a Highest Heaven Celestial Device, unless one could completely refine the Splendid Landscape Map, there was no way one could control the Splendid Landscape Map with the power of a Lord of Heaven. The Splendid Landscape Map was the most precious treasure of Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty. Even though it was refined, it had not been wholly refined by Bai Lan and Yun Tianhe. Therefore, they very reluctantly manipulated a part of power of this Pure Yang Celestial Device of Upper Grade, shared the work and cooperated with one another.
Now Yun Tianhe, discovering that something had gone wrong, had then completely opened the Splendid Landscape Map, so as to take advantage of its uses.
Of course, he knew that Ming Luo and Ming Chen could not hold on for too long.
Therefore, he must quickly resolve this issue.
“Splendid landscape, divide the sky and the earth!”
Yun Tianhe utilized pneuma to form a giant hand in the Splendid Landscape Map. After he abruptly grabbed Evil Fire Kylin, he gave a loud roar. At the same time, everyone sensed that the space around them had changed and waves of power coursed over them. The sky and the earth were also magically changing.
The sky, pneuma, mountains, rocks, flowers, grass and living creatures were all on full display, leaving no possibility for anyone to hide from the light.
Several Genuine Immortals who had been hiding in the dark all this while had to show themselves. Those Genuine Immortals who were chasing after the Evil Fire Kylin also stopped reluctantly due to encountering multiple obstacles ahead of them. Even the escaping light and Gang Qi were reduced by a layer of an intangible restraint.
“What a bad day. The god damn Youxian Temple, how dare you create chaos in my Central Mainland Region?” Child-endowing Buddha had already withdrawn his Fire Cloud Kasaya and yelled angrily before anyone could react to it. He activated the Sky-measuring Star Ruler and hit the giant hand which had grabbed the Evil Fire Kylin.
“Stop! I didn’t mean it!”
Seeing the Sky-measuring Star Ruler coming at him, Yun Tianhe suddenly turned pale. He was afraid of the star force contained in the Sky-measuring Star Ruler.
Child-endowing Buddha wouldn’t listen to him. In the depths of earth vein, except for White-robed Taoist Priestess, every person from Youxian Temple was dead. Although they had been killed by Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao had turned up only after everyone had left. There were only people from Bigwheel Temple and people of Youxian Temple left. They would naturally think that he was the one who had killed all those people. Although he didn’t do it, he was unable to walk away from it.
Since Youxian Temple had suddenly unleashed all power of the Splendid Landscape Map, it had to figure out what had happened here. So he had to attack first, before everything was revealed and Yun Tianhe had fought with him.
Therefore, he activated his Sky-measuring Star Ruler.
“Bang!” The Sky-measuring Star Ruler, a weapon made up of a mass of starlight with incredible powers, struck the giant hand. In a flash, silver starlight was seen everywhere, as if a huge firework had exploded in the sky. That giant hand was smashed immediately.
Once the giant hand disappeared, the Evil Fire Kylin appeared in front of everyone. The Evil Fire Kylin had wanted to escape as soon as it could. However, without the escaping skills of five elements, it was impossible for it to run away from so many Genuine Immortals.
Staring at the Evil Fire Kylin, the eyes of the people were filled with greed. It seemed like they wanted to eat it alive. Even though the Fire Kylin was from a pure and extraordinary race from the olden times, it couldn’t help shivering in fear when faced with this menacing crowd.
When Yun Tianhe’s giant hand was ruined by the ruler of Child-endowing Buddha, he flew into a huge rage. At this point, he forgot about Bai Lan and gave a mighty roar. Suddenly millions of mountains sprang up and surrounded Child-endowing Buddha.
Child-endowing Buddha didn’t dare take the risk. He recalled the Sky-measuring Star Ruler to protect himself. All that the people could see was a layer of starlight sparkling around him as he smashed all the swirling mountains.
Due to this, he could not keep an eye on the Evil Fire Kylin. On the other hand, the Genuine Immortals would definitely not let the Evil Fire Kylin escape. Hong Xuanlong was the first to take action.
They were all within the Splendid Landscape Map and were more or less restricted by this Highest Heaven Celestial Device. However they all had mastered unique techniques or even owned Pure Yang Celestial Devices since they were all Genuine Immortals. In a twinkling of an eye, they managed to release themselves from the Splendid Landscape Map and rushed at Evil Fire Kylin.
Millions of people were scrambling for one treasure!
Before anyone could touch Evil Fire Kylin, everyone was fighting against each other for it. Pneuma was overflowing with Evil Qi flying around, together with wizard weapons and celestial devices.
Everyone was involved in the battle with a few exceptions. Only those who lacked the confidence and the ones who had evil intentions in mind, like Zhou Bao and Yu Nantian, did not join in the attack. However, they could not conceal their bodies and spirit in the Splendid Landscape Map.
Although the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill was magical, it was only a skill to conceal one’s spirit. However, it was not enough to conceal his spirit only.
“I didn’t expect you to be here, Brother Zhou. What, are you interested in the Evil Fire Kylin, too?”
Yu Nantian was also forced to reveal himself. Noticing that Zhou Bao was also there, Yu Nantian’s facial expression changed and then he cupped his hands and smiled.
“Heyhey, I’m not interested in it. I am here because I’m inexperienced and ignorant. The Evil Fire Kylin is a precious race and my curiosity drove me here.” Zhou Bao also smiled and cupped his hands in greetings. “But that you, First Young Master of Yu Family, are here, is a real surprise for me. Divine Wind Palace has attached so much importance to this Evil Fire Kylin that it dispatched two groups of people here. What a perfect plan!”
The cultivation of Hong Xuanlong was the highest among all people. With his Immortal-eliminating Sword of Origin, he defeated everyone who was contending with him and approached the Evil Fire Kylin. Though he was in a battle, he was still aware of the happenings beyond the battlefield, and he noticed that Yu Nantian was also here. After hearing what Zhou Bao said, Hong Xuanlong sneered. Ignoring Yu Nantian and other people, he slashed at the Evil Fire Kylin as the sword light of his Immortal-eliminating Sword of Origin flashed.
“Go to hell!”
When the sword light was about to cut the Evil Fire Kylin, a shout echoed all the way up to the sky. Suddenly a stream of freezingly cold spirit flooded the place.
It was the Lunar True Thunder!
