Chapter 248: Chapter 217: Slaying Core Formation, Yanyue True Monarch

RUMBLE~

A massive mountain peak was sliced clean in half, its immense upper portion sliding down.

As it fell, shattered rock filled the sky, crashing to the ground below.

On the mountain, countless cave dwellings, Jade Towers, pavilions, and halls crumbled and were destroyed.

"This... How can this be! How!"

A Foundation Establishment Great Demon stared in a daze!

Red Cloud Mountain was the hegemon of the Red Cloud Mountain Range, a powerful force with deep foundations.

Any Demon able to join Red Cloud Mountain considered it a great honor.

Whether exploring, training, or meeting with friends, they were a cut above other Demons!

Red Cloud Mountain was their spiritual symbol.

But in this moment...

Their symbol was shattered!

In just a few moments, Human Race Cultivators had stormed into Red Cloud Mountain and begun a massive slaughter!

They were like lambs to the slaughter, powerless to resist!

Because the Human Race Cultivators who invaded Red Cloud Mountain were all Core Formation Zhenren!

SQUELCH~

In his dazed state, the Foundation Establishment Great Demon fell into a pool of its own blood.

Its Demon Body, over a hundred feet long, had been hacked into several pieces.

"More! More!"

The Human Race Core Formation Zhenren, his hair and beard completely white, had a crazed look on his face.

He had once pursued cultivation in peace, but the Demons of Red Cloud Mountain had ruined him, slaughtering his family and severing his ancestral line!

He had formed his True Core and walked the Great Dao. And though he valued tranquility and inaction, he still had ties to his family!

If a few descendants from younger generations had died, his heart would not have stirred in the slightest.

After several hundred years, he no longer felt any familial affection for the descendants in his clan.

But...

His entire family line had been severed!

This tragedy of having his clan annihilated made him recall his youth, when he first set foot on the path of cultivation. He remembered the resources and arrangements his family had provided for him within the Sect.

Remembering all of this made hatred bloom in his heart!

After harvesting the precious materials from the Foundation Establishment Great Demon’s body, the Human Race Zhenren used his Divine Sense to locate his next target and flew off towards another Great Demon.

Scenes like this were playing out all over Red Cloud Mountain.

It wasn’t just Foundation Establishment Great Demons; even more Little Demons and Old Demons of the Qi Refining Realm were being slaughtered.

Caught in the aftershock of a battle, a Yellow Wasp Spirit died on the spot.

If Xu Chang’an had been there, he would have recognized this Yellow Wasp Spirit as the child of his old friend, the Yellow Wasp Spirit of Yellow Wasp Mountain.

The Yellow Wasp Spirit had sent his child to Red Cloud Mountain to ensure its Demon Path would be smoother than his own, hoping to fulfill the regrets of the older generation.

But who could have imagined that this day would come!

Life is unpredictable!

Xu Chang’an moved with extreme speed, racing madly through Red Cloud Mountain with Yu Ruyan in tow.

He was using a Concealment Spell. He had also fed Yu Ruyan a Tier Three Elixir, a Divine Concealment Pill!

There was a Nascent Soul True Monarch among the Human Race Cultivators; he couldn’t take the slightest risk.

With the Divine Concealment Pill and his Concealment Spell, even a Mid-stage Core Formation Zhenren would have difficulty detecting them with Divine Sense.

Xu Chang’an could evade a Late-stage Core Formation expert, but Yu Ruyan could not!

Red Cloud Mountain was already enveloped by a trapping Magical Treasure.

Observing its power and range, Xu Chang’an estimated that the Magical Treasure enveloping Red Cloud Mountain was likely a Top-Grade Magical Treasure, and a premium one at that.

A premium Top-Grade Magical Treasure possessed terrifying power!

Even if he revealed his full combat strength and used all his techniques, he probably couldn’t break through it to escape in just a few strikes.

But those few strikes would very likely attract the attention of the Nascent Soul True Monarch!

A Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Although his current combat strength was nearly unmatched in the Core Formation Realm, the gap between him and a Nascent Soul True Monarch was still immense!

Even if he went all out, he would only have a minuscule chance of escaping from a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

What’s more, he had Yu Ruyan with him.

Fortunately, Xu Chang’an had a Tier Three Low Grade Breaking Charm on him!

It was loot from when he had previously killed the Leopard Spirit Dou Haifeng!

A Breaking Charm could shatter most types of Restrictions.

Including the temporary restriction field created by a trapping-type Magical Treasure!

Combined with the Tier Three Low Grade Breaking Charm, if he unleashed his full power in a single strike, there should be a high probability of temporarily breaking through the trapping Magical Treasure.

Even if it only broke through the trapping Magical Treasure temporarily, that would be enough for the two demons, Xu Chang’an and Yu Ruyan!

Even with the Breaking Charm, there was still a chance a single strike wouldn’t be enough to break through, but Xu Chang’an had no choice but to gamble!

If they couldn’t escape the trapping Magical Treasure’s envelopment, then he and Yu Ruyan would be like turtles in a jar, sooner or later becoming lambs for the slaughter.

Besides, right now, the Demon Kings and Quasi-Demon Kings of Red Cloud Mountain were distracting the Nascent Soul True Monarch and a portion of the Human Race Zhenren for him.

If he waited, as time went on, the number of Demons on Red Cloud Mountain would dwindle.

The pressure on Xu Chang’an would only grow greater.

"Little mouse, what do we do?"

Yu Ruyan asked softly, holding onto Xu Chang’an as he pulled her along in their frantic escape.

The Human Race Cultivators’ attack was too sudden. It all felt like a dream.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m here!"

Xu Chang’an squeezed Yu Ruyan’s hand a little tighter.

His Demon Sense radiated outwards, blanketing the surroundings as he continuously avoided one Human Race Zhenren after another.

His Demon Sense was exceptionally stealthy; as long as he didn’t actively provoke them, ordinary Human Race Zhenren wouldn’t be able to detect it at all.

Fortunately, although there were dozens of Human Race Zhenren, the Demon Kings, Quasi-Demon Kings, and the many visiting Great Demons and Quasi-Demon Kings of Red Cloud Mountain had tied up a good number of them.

Coupled with the fact that Red Cloud Mountain was extremely vast, Xu Chang’an managed to bring Yu Ruyan to the edge of the trapping Magical Treasure’s domain with surprising smoothness.

With a grim expression, Xu Chang’an slapped out a Tier Three Breaking Charm, just about to activate it with his Demon Power.

His Demon Sense suddenly detected a Core Formation Zhenren flying toward their location.

He instantly stopped channeling his Demon Power, concealed his aura, and pulled Yu Ruyan behind a large boulder to hide.

He had his Concealment Spell, and Yu Ruyan had taken the Divine Concealment Pill.
