Chapter 440: Chapter 327: Stunning the Audience

"Red Fire Divine Mountain!"

The mountains and rivers trembled as a phantom image emerged, spewing meteors of celestial fire. Though the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon’s attack was not as piercing as the other two, it was still enough to make any Foundation Establishment cultivator turn pale at the sight.

All three attacks erupted simultaneously, striking at the same target. In a flash, the Blood-colored Profound Bird struggled even more desperately. However, it was completely enveloped by Yu Changsheng’s Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation. With a surging, restrictive power boxing it in from all sides, how could it possibly escape?

BOOM!

A wave of energy surged outward as violent fluctuations swept in all directions. The Blood-colored Profound Bird shrieked pitifully, a massive hole blown open in its bleeding abdomen. Its form destabilized, and as it wavered, the figures of the Spirit Dragon Sect and Dark Stream members within became faintly visible.

"What? They..."

No matter how shocked the members of Dark Stream were, Zhao Xiaodong was even more astounded. As he looked at the group, his mind was already reeling in utter disbelief.

His previous feelings of near-despair turned into speechless astonishment.

Before, Yu Changsheng alone had been enough to force him to retract his prior disdain and take him seriously. But now, with this explosive display, everyone in the group had demonstrated the power to threaten a Golden Core expert. Zhao Xiaodong’s emotions were now beyond what could be described as mere shock or complexity.

He even felt a twinge of shame, but that was quickly overwhelmed by excitement. Muttering an incantation, he performed a Finger Technique, and a colossal silver Celestial Sword appeared in the air. Its point was lethally sharp, its Sword Aura extending a hundred zhang. He didn’t hesitate to bite his tongue and spray a mouthful of blood onto the blade.

Instantly, the Sword Qi surged, and the blade transformed into a streak of light. Following the attacks from Zhang Tianwen and the others, it too slammed into the Blood-colored Profound Bird’s abdomen.

The full extent of his power as a Golden Core Expert was on display in that moment.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Under the onslaught of successive blows, the Blood-colored Profound Bird finally gave way, collapsing into a rain of bloody light. The twelve members of the Spirit Dragon Sect and Dark Stream shuddered, a surge of energy and blood rising in their chests before they spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Their expressions, which had begun as self-satisfied, shifted to astonishment, and finally warped into sheer terror.

Yu Changsheng gasped for breath. With a wave of his sleeve, he recalled the Profound Turtle and the Red Purgatory Dragon, leaving out only the Golden-Winged Eagle and the Colorful Star Deer. To deploy four Spirit Beasts at once, even with his strength, was a terrifying drain; his Magical Power was once again nearly exhausted.

"Mysterious Illusion Realm!"

However, in the moment the others were stunned, the Colorful Star Deer gave a soft cry. It gently stamped a forehoof on the empty air, and suddenly, brilliantly colored lotuses bloomed silently out of the void before the members of the Spirit Dragon Sect.

Rainbow-colored light scattered, brilliant and mesmerizing. The flowers seemed to possess a special Magic Power; their petals bloomed and then gently wilted, one after another. Bathed in this light, the twelve members of the Spirit Dragon Sect and Dark Stream were instantly enthralled, their gazes turning vacant as they froze on the spot.

"Hehe, little lady, here I come..."

"I’m the real boss..."

"Let go, let me at ’em! He’s mine! I love you so much..."

"Sweetie... just let me take a peek..."

With the exception of the four Golden Core experts—Gao Yucheng, Cheng Hong, Yang Hao, and Meng Ran—all the other disciples of the Spirit Dragon Sect were now trapped within the baseless Illusion Realm.

Thus, all manner of lewd and unbearable sounds echoed through the air. Their behavior was utterly disgraceful; some even stripped naked and began to engage in obscene acts.

One man knelt, licking the ground with an infatuated expression. Another, his face a mask of despair, slowly chose suicide, murmuring as he viciously plunged his sword into his own inner thigh. Even so, he seemed to feel no pain, repeating the motion again and again.

The scene instantly became both bizarre and volatile.

MEWLE!

The Colorful Star Deer cried out softly again. At the sound of its call, the lotus at the center of the group began to spin slowly, radiating a boundless, fragrant brilliance.

Zhang Tianwen and the others, of course, would not let such an opportunity pass. They each performed Finger Techniques, and a barrage of terrifying attacks descended upon the disciples trapped in the Illusion Realm, sealing their fates.

"This is bad! What a terrifying Illusion Realm!"

At the critical moment, Cheng Hong’s eyes flew open, his mind clear once more. Gritting his teeth as he took in the scene, he clapped his hands together. A strange ripple of energy spread out, and Gao Yucheng, Meng Ran, and Yang Hao also snapped back to their senses, their hearts pounding with residual fear.

At that same moment, the lotus petals wilted completely. And aside from the four Golden Core experts, every other disciple of the Spirit Dragon Sect had been sent to their graves, finished off by Zhang Tianwen and his allies.

"You! Yu Changsheng?! I’ll kill you!"

Seeing this, Gao Yucheng snarled, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the pale but composed Yu Changsheng. His heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

In a flash, the tables had turned. All of their people, save for the four Golden Core experts, were dead!

"Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique!"

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and swept his arm upward. Blinding golden light formed an armor that enveloped his body. His surging vitality and blood condensed into the Dharma Aspect of a giant covered in golden light, and a brilliant sun of pure vitality rose behind him.

The dazzling light of a breaking dawn pierced the darkness, seeming to replace the very sky, before condensing on Yu Changsheng’s fist. Along with his massive Dharma Aspect, he brought it smashing down!

"Careful!"

The faces of Cheng Hong and the other three changed. They gritted their teeth, about to defend, when Yu Changsheng’s gaze landed on them. In that instant, invisible bolts of black Thunderbolt slammed into their Seas of Consciousness.

"Thousand Thoughts Slash!"

Their Seas of Consciousness trembled and a wave of dizziness washed over them, causing the four men to falter for an instant. In that moment, the mighty light of the fist howled toward them.

CRASH!

It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth caved in. This one strike contained the entirety of Yu Changsheng’s Physical Strength, and it landed at the precise moment the four men’s formation was broken and they were at their weakest. Several miserable screams were cut off mid-cry. When the violent cloud of dust settled, a massive crater had appeared in the ground.
