Chapter 234: Chapter 133: Sky-Covering Divine Light Refines All to Smoke

Among the group from the Celestial Permanence Sect, the other Nascent Soul Second Level Venerable was different from Elder You. His name was Li Yi, a cultivator of great potential, much like Jiang Chengzi and He Haojun. Although far younger, his arts were actually more profound. He reached into his sleeve and threw out a golden ring. He wasn’t trying to contend with the Yuan Mountain Sealing Stamp; instead, the ring emitted an invisible gravitational force that pulled at Elder You.

Elder You suddenly felt the gravitational force envelop him. He hastily altered his Escape Technique, using the pull to hasten his retreat and quickly get away.

Meng Fusheng’s brow furrowed. He changed the Spell in his hands, unleashing the second mystical ability of the Yuan Mountain Sealing Stamp. An invisible shockwave swept out and struck Elder You. While not as powerful as the "Suppression" ability, it was enough to make his entire body tremble as a trickle of crimson blood escaped the corner of his lips.

Facing five opponents, Meng Fusheng was not only holding his own but had even managed to lightly injure one in the very first exchange. A faint smile touched his lips. With a flap of his golden wings, he prepared to escape once more.

However, the group from the Celestial Permanence Sect were no fools to be trifled with. The moment Li Yi saw Meng Fusheng switch from suppression to shock to injure Elder You, he had already changed his Magical Artifact’s target. The gravitational force was abruptly redirected toward Meng Fusheng. Just as Meng Fusheng activated his Escape Technique, he was pulled to a sudden halt.

Elder You had been eager to distinguish himself, but instead, he was wounded by Meng Fusheng in their first clash, and his face was already flush with anger. Seeing this opportunity, he sharply changed direction. As he shot forward again, a small, round-headed hammer the color of dark copper flew out, empowered by a Celestial Permanence Sect forcefield technique, and hurtled viciously toward Meng Fusheng.

The other three from the Celestial Permanence Sect, though not as furious as Elder You, would not miss such a golden opportunity. They immediately unleashed their own attacks. In an instant, four cultivators were swarming in for the kill.

Caught by the gravitational pull, Meng Fusheng had to channel his Magical Power and furiously flap his golden wings several times just to break free. He had initially felt a sense of dread, but seeing the four of them charging him at once, his look of shock suddenly gave way to delight.

’Aren’t these four swarming toward me just the opportunity Junior Martial Uncle Xu spoke of?’

A glint flashed in Meng Fusheng’s eyes. He abruptly stopped, ignoring the binding gravitational force from Li Yi that once again fell upon him. Instead, he pulled a Jade Talisman from his sleeve. It was a deep, condensed crimson, and within it, what looked like molten flames seemed to churn and roil.

Far in the distance, Li Yi, who was using his technique to restrain Meng Fusheng’s escape, suddenly felt his heart jump. But before he could process what was happening, Meng Fusheng was already holding the Jade Talisman and rapidly chanting a Spell.

As Meng Fusheng recited the Spell, an immense fiery power erupted violently from the Jade Talisman. He rallied his spirit, gave a great shout, and hurled the talisman forward. A strange, overlapping sound filled the world, like countless sparks crackling at once. It was as if Celestial Fire had descended, setting the plains ablaze—a torrent of explosive firelight swept out with a deafening boom!

This was the very Fire Divine Light that Xuzhuang had created using an External Refining Method. He had expended nearly eight bottles of pure fire essence—essence that an ancient demon of the Manifestation Sect had painstakingly refined deep within the Earth Lungs, originally intended for an expert of the Bone Sect to use in their own refinement. Xuzhuang had sealed it into a talisman and given it to Meng Fusheng for this precise moment.

The moment the Fire Divine Light appeared, it instantly expanded to cover an enormous area, like a sky-blotting curtain of fire. Its radiance was blinding, its power overwhelming. With a single downward sweep, a deafening explosion rang out. Elder You’s onrushing round-headed hammer didn’t even have a chance to resist before it was blasted to pieces.

The Fire Divine Light swept downward again, engulfing Elder You in its fiery torrent. A brilliant flash of spiritual light erupted as his Magical Robe, Protective Magical Artifacts, and Protective Spirit Light—countless layers of defense—all activated at once. In the next instant, they were all turned to ash.

The faces of the three Nascent Soul Cultivators following close behind Elder You contorted in horror, their eyes filled with utter terror. But they were Nascent Soul Cultivators, after all, and they instantly employed various countermeasures. One of them was incredibly decisive; activating a protective treasure, he paid some unknown price to instantly teleport several miles away.

The remaining two each made a different choice. One of them grit his teeth and summoned two Superior Protective Magical Artifacts with fully realized restrictions. As he sent them upward to meet the flames, his body flickered with spiritual light as he unleashed an unknown number of talismans and techniques in a single breath.

The last one, however, suddenly twisted his body, frantically channeled all his Magical Power, and summoned an escape light, fleeing as if his life depended on it. Li Yi, who was outside the range of the Fire Divine Light, saw this. He had no time for rage; he immediately urged his Magical Artifact, applying its maximum gravitational force to help the man escape.

The next second, the torrent of flame swept ferociously past. The man escaped by the narrowest of margins. Drenched in a cold sweat, he looked down to see that the lower half of his left leg was gone.

And what of the one who had stayed to fight to the death?

Nothing but a wisp of smoke.
