Chapter 439: Desert of Death

Gu Tianyao was suddenly stunned. He couldn't help but turn to Gu Muyun. "Sister, that tyrannical power!"

Gu Muyun didn't speak, only nodding with a solemn expression.

Beside Shen Daoxing, Wan Hai's expression was also grave. "This is… Jun Wushuang has made his move!"

"BANG!"

Suddenly, there was another loud bang.

Everyone quickly looked up to see Ouyang Cheng's figure suddenly shoot high out of the forest. Then, he traced a half-moon arc through the sky before crashing into the forests of Pengze Immortal Mountain with a heavy THUD.

"CRASH!"

A series of trees collapsed from the impact, leaving a long trail down the mountainside as a flock of Spirit Birds took flight in alarm.

The next moment, Jun Wushuang appeared, his long robes fluttering. With his hands behind his back, he ascended gracefully on his Flying Sword. His ink-black eyes were like bottomless abysses; a single glance felt like you could accidentally fall into their depths.

The tyrannical killing intent he exuded made everyone shiver, even from a great distance.

And after Jun Wushuang appeared...

"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"

Suddenly, several more dazzling lights flared from within the forest. Four colossal figures then rose from the ground and appeared.

Each one of them shimmered with golden light, their presence majestic. Every move they made carried an invisible, dignified power. They stood towering over the forest, their feet on the ground and heads in the sky, like Immortals descended from the heavens.

Heaven and Earth!

Seeing the towering Golden Body Dharma Aspects in the sky, Wan Hai couldn't help but speak:

"That's Lu Ping, Xie An, and the others—the disciples of Pengze and Tan Yuan. Is Jun Wushuang trying to fight them all at once? That's far too arrogant. Lu Ping and Xie An may not be his match individually, but they are all among the top ten of the Four Vein Disciples! They all possess the cultivation of the Earth Profound Realm's Ninth Layer, and there are so many of them! No matter how powerful Jun Wushuang is, he can't possibly handle this."

At that moment, Lu Ping, Xie An, and the others began to move. They took several steps forward, surrounding Jun Wushuang from all four directions, and then looked down upon him with imposing majesty.

Beneath their enormous Dharma Aspects, Jun Wushuang's small figure looked like an ant. It seemed they could crush him with a simple pinch of their fingers.

Suddenly, Lu Ping, Xie An, and the others slowly raised their Treasure Swords. As if they were about to split the heavens and earth and sever all creation, the four enormous Treasure Swords erupted with a dazzling light and came crashing down simultaneously, whistling through the air as they fell viciously toward Jun Wushuang's head.

It looked as if Jun Wushuang's tiny figure was about to be annihilated by the four giant Treasure Swords.

However, Jun Wushuang's expression was indifferent. With a placid face devoid of emotion, he simply raised a hand and pushed it toward the sky.

Without any warning, the four enormous, Tianze-like Treasure Swords suddenly froze in midair, as if caught by some invisible force.

Immediately after, ripples began to spread across the sky.

The four giant Treasure Swords began to glow red-hot, as if they had been plunged into a furnace, and started to melt bit by bit.

Then, Jun Wushuang gently clenched the hand he had raised to the sky.

In that instant, the four red-hot Treasure Swords violently shattered, bursting into dazzling sparks that looked like brilliant fireworks in the sky.

And the next moment, Jun Wushuang slowly raised a single finger, upon which a tiny point of white light appeared. It then floated into the sky like an orb of light, growing larger and larger.

At the same time, the light flared so intensely that everyone found it blinding. A single glance caused their eyes to throb with excruciating pain, nearly bringing them to tears, and they all instinctively shut their eyes.

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

"BANG!"

Several loud bangs echoed in succession.

When the dazzling light faded and everyone opened their eyes again, Lu Ping's, Xie An's, and the others' enormous Golden Body Dharma Aspects had suddenly burst apart.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

They turned into spectacular golden fireworks in the sky, scattering in all directions.

Then, several mangled, bloody figures were thrown into the air. They traced a graceful arc across the sky before falling heavily into the forest with a BOOM.

In a single move, in just an instant, Jun Wushuang had defeated four masters of the Earth Profound Realm's Ninth Layer. Moreover, no one had even seen clearly how he did it.

Everyone was stunned.

No!

Someone saw it clearly!

Shen Daoxing saw it clearly!

'It was the sun. Jun Wushuang had summoned the sun—or rather, a Sword Intent like the blazing sun, capable of melting anything in the world.'

"RUUUUMBLE!"

Another deafening roar echoed, and everyone felt the surrounding forest tremble.

High in the sky, Jun Wushuang casually waved his hand. A beam of sword light suddenly shot out, traversing the entire forest and exploding with a roar upon Pengze Immortal Mountain.

From within the Immortal Mountain, Ouyang Cheng could only flee in a sorry state.

"We haven't even found the Celestial Mirror Order, and Jun Wushuang is already making his move?"

Wan Hai was startled and stunned.

Shen Daoxing said calmly, "Jun Wushuang intends to defeat and eliminate everyone. That way, it won't matter whether he finds the Celestial Mirror Order or not."

"Let's go. Ouyang Cheng and the others won't last long against Jun Wushuang. We need to find the Celestial Mirror Order before that."

Gu Muyun spoke, her voice subdued. "Tianyao!"

"Yes, Sister."

Gu Tianyao nodded and immediately called out, "Xiao Bai."

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!"

The Demonic Creature shrieked a few times, lifted its nose to sniff the air, and immediately started pumping its four short legs, running forward with all its might.

Shen Daoxing and the others quickly followed.

Behind them, a series of explosions rang out continuously, signaling an intensely fierce battle.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

They passed through the dense forest and crossed a long stream.

After a short while, they pushed aside some bushes, and the view before them suddenly opened up. A golden desert had appeared in front of them.

Looking up, the desert was vast and boundless, stretching beyond the horizon. A gentle breeze blew. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but sand.

"Where is this?"

Shen Daoxing was surprised. 'I hadn't expected a place like this on Pengze Immortal Island.'

Seeing this, Wan Hai, who was beside them, suddenly froze, his face turning grim. "This... This is the Desert of Death! The Forbidden Land of Pengze Immortal Island!"

"Forbidden Land?"

Shen Daoxing paused and turned to Wan Hai, his curiosity suddenly piqued.

Wan Hai couldn't help but nod. "That's right, the Forbidden Land of Pengze Immortal Island. It's the Desert of Death, which Ancestor Dan Chen moved here directly from the Death Domain's Forbidden Land using his supreme Divine Techniques. It's fraught with danger. Not only are there countless peak Earth Profound Realm demonic beasts, but there are even quite a few Refining Dust Realm demonic beasts. Even when Ancestor Dan Chen was still around, no disciple was permitted to enter casually."

Wan Hai paused again, as if recalling something. "And the most terrifying demonic beast on all of Pengze Immortal Island—the Thousand-Eyed Demon Chapter—is right inside."
