Chapter 59 The Great War Breaks Out
"Boom!"
The earth groaned, and the void trembled.
The dozens of ancient behemoths that lingered around the treasure seemed to awaken from their slumber, each turn of their bodies causing the earth to shake violently.
A terrifying aura swept across the land like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the entire world.
Dozens of overlord-level ferocious beasts finally clashed!
Those enormous bodies, each one like an ancient demonic mountain, towered into the clouds, towering more than ten thousand feet high. They roared in the clouds and fought on the mountain peaks. Every move they made was a world-destroying power.
One of the unnamed ferocious creatures was simply stepped on with a single foot.
"Snap—!"
The continuous mountain range collapsed in an instant, like fragile building blocks.
Boulders rolled down, dust flew, and the earth cracked open into deep ravines, with magma gushing out from the ground.
Countless human cultivators, their faces ashen, fled frantically towards the outside world like startled birds and beasts.
"Run! This is a battle of unparalleled power; even a slight shockwave will reduce you to dust!"
"This is terrifying! This is a battle we can't possibly participate in!"
However, amidst this chaos and torrent of escape, only a few exceptionally powerful old foxes remained hidden in the shadows, watching with gleaming eyes, waiting for their chance to strike.
Wang Dao wisely fled far away immediately after his battle with Xue Wuhen.
The terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the mountains, even from a great distance, still made him tremble with fear, as if he could be crushed by that power at any moment.
"Too powerful... Is this the overlord of the depths of the Great Wilderness?" Wang Dao thought to himself with a chill, and quickened his pace.
He used the "Mysterious Turtle Breath Concealing Technique," making him seem to merge with heaven and earth, hanging far behind Liu Ruyan.
Having just been tricked by this woman, how could Wang Dao possibly swallow this insult?
"Trying to run? Not so easy!"
Wang Dao stared intently at Liu Ruyan's alluring back.
She moved with lightness and speed through the complex mountain forest, her goal clear and precise, as if she already knew some unknown secret hidden somewhere in the forest.
"This woman... must have some clues about an opportunity!" Wang Dao was certain of it.
"Boom boom boom!"
The battle deep in the mountains intensified, like dozens of stars colliding.
The terrible aftershocks directly affected an area spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The wind howled, thunder roared, and the whole world trembled.
Dozens of terrifying ferocious beast overlords were extremely domineering. Their bodies were surrounded by divine light, or shrouded in rolling black mist, or bathed in thunder and fire, making it difficult to see their appearance. Only their extremely intense aura, like dozens of blazing suns, illuminated the entire sky, making people dare not look directly at them.
……
The appearance of this secret treasure attracted countless cultivators, who flocked to it like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
However, the vast majority of people are just there for the spectacle, and those who are truly qualified to compete are extremely rare.
The phrase "Ten Thousand Mountains" itself represents mystery and great terror.
Deep within it lie countless overlords that have existed since ancient times. They are like dormant volcanoes, but once they erupt, they will destroy the world.
A wise and experienced elder gazed into the deep mountains, stroked his beard, and sighed deeply:
"If these giants weren't so reluctant to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains and were not bound by the rules of heaven and earth, it's hard to say whether the world would still be as peaceful as it is now."
"You should know that even someone as powerful as the Prince of Zhenbei, whose martial arts were divine and who was one of the top combatants of his time, was said to have suffered a great loss in the depths of these Hundred Thousand Mountains and was almost killed. In the end, he had to fight with half his life to escape."
Ji Mingyue, Wang Ming, and other prodigies from various forces had already retreated tens of thousands of miles and stood atop peaks, watching from afar.
For them, even just observing such a terrifying battle from afar and feeling the Daoist aura emanating from it would be an immense opportunity.
Deep in the mountains, endless runes danced like stars in the sky, and earth-shattering techniques collided continuously, their brilliance dazzling. These were the innate supernatural powers of the ancient races, each strike containing the true meaning of the Great Dao, their power so overwhelming that it was breathtaking.
Wang Qingyue, dressed in a moon-white, wide-sleeved long dress, resembled a fairy from the moon palace, surrounded by a group of disciples from the Feathered Ascension Sect.
Her eyes, as dark as distant mountains, were filled with anticipation and longing as she gazed at the devastated battlefield, and she sighed softly:
"That level of existence is truly awe-inspiring... yet it is precisely that level that makes people yearn for it and wish they could take its place."
A disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect standing beside him immediately offered his flattery:
"Senior Sister Wang possesses extraordinary talent; she is an unparalleled genius of our Feathered Ascension Sect. Given time, she will surely have a place among the pinnacle of the world!"
Wang Qingyue simply smiled faintly, said nothing more, then turned around and led the disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect away in another direction.
Their sect's patriarch is overseeing the competition here, and their mission is to take advantage of the chaos to search for opportunities in the surrounding area.
Normally, even though they have reached the Divine Travel level, they dare not easily set foot on the outer edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is too dangerous here. No one knows whether a terrifying beast will emerge from some corner and devour them at any moment.
At this moment, the forces of all sides scattered in all directions, like locusts swarming across the land.
Even on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, countless ancient medicinal herbs grow, which are rare and precious opportunities.
Meanwhile, Wang Dao had already quietly followed Liu Ruyan to a secluded mountain stream.
The terrain here is treacherous, and ancient trees reach for the sky.
A huge waterfall cascades down from a cliff thousands of feet high, like a silver river pouring down, crashing into the deep pool below and stirring up a cloud of water mist.
The rushing water sounded like a stampede of ten thousand horses, deafeningly loud.
The mountain stream is filled with misty air, and under the refraction of sunlight, occasional bursts of seven-colored light appear, creating an ethereal atmosphere, just like a fairyland on earth.
Wang Dao sniffed, and a faint fragrance drifted in with the moist air, entering his nostrils and invigorating him, instantly brightening his eyes.
"Such a rich medicinal aroma! This is definitely a precious medicine!"
He hid behind an ancient tree that required several people to encircle, and through the dense foliage, he looked at Liu Ruyan not far away with a mocking gaze, as if he were looking at a dutiful treasure-delivering boy.
"Hehe, this woman certainly didn't disappoint me."
Liu Ruyan moved like a swallow, gliding lightly through the misty water and flying straight into the back of the waterfall.
After her figure completely disappeared into the waterfall, Wang Dao slowly emerged from behind the ancient tree.
When the "Mysterious Turtle Breath Concealing Technique" was activated to its fullest extent, he seemed to turn into a lifeless stone, perfectly blending into his surroundings. Even his breathing and heartbeat became barely perceptible, and it was difficult for anyone to notice his presence even if they passed by him.
"Since you're so kind, then I won't stand on ceremony."
A wicked smile crept across Wang Dao's lips. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and, like a falling leaf, silently drifted towards the waterfall.
