Chapter Title: Absolute Freeze, Luo Xiyue's Departure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python let out a roar, its scarlet eyes filled with unwillingness as it dragged its half-frozen body and slammed violently into the Profound Wood Shield.
This was the Profound Wood Shield manifested by the Green Wood Immortal Shield Talisman, glowing with a verdant light.
Bang!
The clash of flesh against the Profound Wood Shield instantly cracked the verdant wooden shield, which then shattered into pieces.
Behind one Profound Wood Shield was another.
Five Profound Wood Shields were stacked, along with one Green Vine Shield.
Having agreed to Luo Xiyue's request, Chen Jianghe dared not be careless. He had immediately activated five Green Wood Immortal Shield Talismans and one Second Wood Green Vine Shield Talisman.
To protect Luo Xiyue.
By the time the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python attacked the third Profound Wood Shield, the fire dragons released from the eight Flame Dragon Demon-Breaking Talismans had already arrived.
The wind howled, and the dragons roared wildly.
The eight fire dragons condensed into a fiery orb, striking directly at the bulge on the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's forehead. The scales broken by the sword lotus had become the breakthrough point for the tier-two middle-grade attack talismans.
Boom!
The eight fiery orbs condensed from the flame dragons smashed into the python's head one after another. The poisonous skin ruptured, revealing tender, fragile bone.
"Go!"
Chen Jianghe's divine sense manipulated the Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword, aiming straight for the fragile bone on the python's protruding head.
Crack!
The clear sound of bone breaking rang out. The intense pain brought a moment of clarity back to the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's eyes.
It abruptly turned toward Chen Jianghe.
It violently swung its maimed body, crashing into the third Profound Wood Shield and shattering the verdant light.
Only to see another Profound Wood Shield.
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python roared, abandoning the heavily protected Luo Xiyue and charging ferociously at Chen Jianghe.
It crossed the hundred-zhang distance in an instant.
Hiss~
Venom sprayed out.
Chen Jianghe was prepared. He formed the proper hand seals and cast the tier-two water-type spell, Clear Water Shield.
His other talents were not exceptional, but when it came to practicing spells, he was still above average, possessing a decent aptitude.
Water spiritual Qi and spiritual power intertwined, forming black water that connected heaven and earth.
Sizzle!
The moment the venom touched the Clear Water Shield, the black water boiled. It corroded the Foundation Establishment spiritual power within, and the spiritual Qi abruptly dissipated.
"Truly venomous!"
Seeing that the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's venom could even corrode spiritual power, Chen Jianghe was horrified. With a thought, he acted.
The Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword spun in the air and once again slashed toward the bulge on the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's head.
Since he had breached the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's defense, he had to keep attacking that one spot. The rest of its body was protected by scales.
Chen Jianghe found it difficult to break through the defense of its scales.
The Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword was extremely fast, like a wave in the void. It surged across several dozen zhang in an instant, piercing into the fragile bone of the bulge on the python's head.
"It can even corrode a spirit-nurturing artifact?!"
Chen Jianghe changed his hand seals and recalled the Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword. A green glow was eroding the sword's body, but the flowing water on its surface washed the venom away.
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python let out a sharp roar, like a pointed arrow shooting into his Sea of Consciousness. Chen Jianghe dared not be careless and simultaneously used a Second Wood Soul-Binding Talisman.
A green light bound the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python, and soul thorns attacked its soul essence.
At the same time.
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's soul attack also pierced into his Sea of Consciousness, transforming into three sharp arrows that shot toward his Soul Sea.
The Soul Sea barrier erupted in a brilliant light at that moment.
The soul thorns hung inverted, defending against the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's attack while also stabbing at its demonic consciousness.
"It can still move?"
"Another one!"
Chen Jianghe possessed a Soul Sea barrier, so the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's divine sense attack couldn't break through his defense for the time being.
The Second Wood Soul-Binding Talisman bound the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python, attacking its soul essence.
But it seemed the python was about to break free from this ultimate spell of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Without a shred of hesitation, he used another Second Wood Soul-Binding Talisman, reinforcing the restraints on the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python.
The soul thorns became even sharper, attacking the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's soul essence.
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python let out a low growl, frozen in place. Its scarlet eyes revealed disbelief.
It clearly hadn't expected a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to be so troublesome.
In an instant, its obese body struggled to coil up, exposing its undamaged scales on the outermost layer for defense.
Its head was held high, and green fluid flowed from the bulge, but it wasn't healing its flesh. It seemed the root of the injury had been struck, and this was its blood.
Chen Jianghe's body trembled.
Looking at the coiled Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python, he immediately sat down cross-legged, turning his divine sense inward to guard his Sea of Consciousness.
A storm of soul attacks surged into his Sea of Consciousness, assailing the soul essence within his Soul Sea.
Boom!
The Soul Sea barrier shattered in an instant.
This was the soul attack of a peak tier-two demonic beast, and the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python was a beast that specialized in soul attacks.
Chen Jianghe's Soul Sea barrier was only newly formed, just a basic foundation.
How could it withstand such a ferocious assault?
Dong!
His Spiritual Platform trembled.
The spirit turtle imprint on it emitted a powerful pressure, suppressing the demonic consciousness that had invaded his Soul Sea and erasing it in an instant.
"My Spiritual Platform can defend my soul!"
Chen Jianghe was overjoyed.
He had been preparing to consume a Peace and Soul-Settling Pill.
Facing the soul attack of a peak tier-two demonic beast, he had been prepared to be injured.
Xiao Hei's physical defense was unparalleled, but its soul wasn't necessarily strong.
As for letting Maoqiu out to help?
If he were dealing with a late tier-two demonic beast, that might have worked.
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python was a peak tier-two demonic beast. Its bloodline was definitely at least lower fourth-grade, perhaps even upper fourth-grade.
It naturally suppressed Maoqiu.
Furthermore, Maoqiu was a close-combat fighter. In a direct confrontation, if that highly corrosive venom touched it, Maoqiu would likely be unable to withstand it.
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's eyes widened, seeing that Chen Jianghe was completely unharmed by its soul attack.
With a low roar, it launched another soul attack.
Its body was bound, and soul thorns were piercing its Sea of Consciousness, preventing it from physically attacking Chen Jianghe.
It could only engage in a battle of souls.
Just as Chen Jianghe and the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python were locked in a spiritual stalemate.
The Profound Ice Cave.
Gao Peiyao walked out, her jade-like arm stained with blood that flowed into her palm, tightly gripping her Dragon Spine Whip. Her dark green immortal robes were torn by a beast's claws, revealing a wound so deep the bone was visible.
She looked up at the short mountain. Boulders were shattering, and the snowy peak erupted, triggering another avalanche.
"Luo Xiyue is still there. She's that certain Chen Jianghe must be in the Great Snow Mountain!" A strange look appeared in Gao Peiyao's eyes.
After shaking off the Icy Snow Beast, she and Luo Xiyue had entered the Profound Ice Cave, severely injuring a peak tier-two demonic beast and stealing the Flawless Fruit.
It was during that time that Luo Xiyue had used up her talisman treasure to help her obtain the Flawless Fruit.
Afterward, they began searching for Chen Jianghe.
First, they went to Golden Eagle Cliff.
Then they went to the short mountain before the Great Snow Mountain, triggering a remnant formation that revealed the stone tablet marking the entrance of the Snow Sect.
It was guarded by three peak tier-two demonic beasts.
This made her believe that Chen Jianghe couldn't possibly be in the Great Snow Mountain, so she parted ways with Luo Xiyue to search elsewhere, looking for both Chen Jianghe and treasures.
She had come to the Profound Ice Cave again.
With the power of her talisman treasure, she killed the heavily injured peak tier-two demonic beast and fought a bloody battle with a late tier-two demonic beast, eventually slaying it.
She finally obtained the other third-tier spirit item besides the Flawless Fruit.
"There's only one day left. With Chen Jianghe's cautious nature, he's probably already hidden himself near the mystic realm's exit, waiting for it to open."
"I'll head to the exit first. If I can't find him, he must have met with misfortune. Then I'll go to the short mountain and call Luo Xiyue away."
Gao Peiyao used her spiritual power to seal the wound on her arm and quickly flew toward the mystic realm's exit.
There was only one day left until the mystic realm's exit opened. The surviving cultivators were all cautiously making their way toward it.
"Two-legs, we can't stay here!"
Suddenly.
Xiao Hei's urgent voice sounded on Chen Jianghe's Spiritual Platform, startling him as he watched his Spiritual Platform suppress the soul attack.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Jianghe asked.
Luo Xiyue had asked him to hold off the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python for a hundred breaths. The time was almost up. Once the hundred breaths passed, Luo Xiyue's recovered spiritual power would allow her to cast 'Annihilation' from the Profound Ice Sword Art again.
The Annihilation Cold Domain could freeze the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's entire body, cutting off its life force.
"Those two demonic beasts are about to succeed in their breakthrough!"
"What?"
Chen Jianghe's expression changed drastically.
"I can feel their auras rising rapidly. They've already surpassed that Icy Tri-Horned Python."
"We need to leave, quickly."
Xiao Hei's voice urged from Chen Jianghe's Spiritual Platform.
Chen Jianghe opened his eyes and looked at the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python bound by vines. The power of the talismans was about to dissipate under the python's struggles.
Luo Xiyue, meanwhile, was recovering her spiritual power within the protection of the Profound Wood and Green Vine Shields.
"Wait for Luo Xiyue!"
After a moment of deep thought, Chen Jianghe made his decision.
He had the Lesser Teleportation Talisman that Luo Xiyue had given him. Even if those two peak tier-two demonic beasts successfully broke through, he could escape in an instant.
He would just be wasting his greatest trump card.
However, the Lesser Teleportation Talisman was a gift from Luo Xiyue in the first place. Using it for her sake seemed reasonable.
Roar!
The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python broke free from the vines. Its green eyes glowed with a scarlet light as it slammed its head violently against the ground.
It seemed its soul had been damaged.
When it saw the unharmed Chen Jianghe, a look of fear appeared in its eyes.
It then looked up at Luo Xiyue in the air.
A hint of cowardice flickered in its eyes, and it began to think of retreating.
Half of its body was frozen, and its strength was impaired. Otherwise, how could it let a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator act so presumptuously before it?
But of its two proudest abilities, its venom and its spirit-devouring attack, one was limited by its frozen body and couldn't be used to its full potential.
The spirit-devouring attack was unaffected, but it had no effect on Chen Jianghe.
"Trying to run?"
With a thought, Chen Jianghe sent the Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword stabbing toward the ruptured bulge on the python's head once more.
He was using his speed to bully the mobility-impaired Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python.
Twenty breaths.
Chen Jianghe's flying sword completely dug out the fragile bone from the python's bulge, causing green fluid to spurt out.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, kill this Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python quickly! Those two peak tier-two demonic beasts are breaking through!"
The hundred breaths were up.
Chen Jianghe saw Luo Xiyue open her phoenix eyes and immediately shouted.
Looking at the layers of shields around her, Luo Xiyue glanced at Chen Jianghe with a peculiar expression.
Hearing Chen Jianghe's words, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed within them.
"I'll kill the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python. You go to the spirit cave and take the True Spirit Fruit!"
Luo Xiyue called out softly, her jade-like hands forming a seal.
The Ice Spirit Seal was formed.
The snowfall intensified, condensing into icy spikes that flew toward the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python, blocking its path of retreat back into the cave.
Seeing this, Chen Jianghe immediately released Maoqiu.
He had it enter the spirit cave to retrieve the True Spirit Fruit.
A Core Formation spirit item!
If he could obtain it, he was naturally unwilling to give it up.
Maoqiu leaped into the spirit cave, holding its heavy profound iron staff.
"Maoqiu, be careful."
Chen Jianghe sent a mental message.
He then turned to watch Luo Xiyue battle the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python. In just a few moments, Luo Xiyue's Remnant Snow Sword had already shredded the area around the python's bulge.
She was taking advantage of the opening Chen Jianghe had created in the fragile bone, attacking without holding back.
It seemed she intended to pierce through the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's head and forcibly seize its spirit core.
Bang!
Boom!
Luo Xiyue's Remnant Snow Sword drilled into the bulge and shot out from the other bulge on the python's head, taking a piece of emerald-green fragile bone with it.
At that moment.
Both of the fragile, evolving bones on the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python's head had been gouged out by Chen Jianghe and Luo Xiyue, completely severing the foundation for its advancement.
"Profound Ice Sword Art, Annihilation!"
Luo Xiyue seized the opportunity and executed the Profound Ice Sword Art.
But at that very moment, a violent soul attack swept across a hundred-zhang radius, and venom sprayed in all directions.
"Be careful! The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python has an upper fourth-grade bloodline! It's going to use Spirit Detonation!"
Luo Xiyue's expression changed drastically. She abruptly stopped the half-cast Profound Ice Sword Art and flew rapidly toward Chen Jianghe.
She stood in front of Chen Jianghe, her silver-white immortal robes manifesting armor, but it was instantly corroded by the venom.
Maoqiu also leaped out of the spirit cave at that instant.
Chen Jianghe saw Luo Xiyue's face turn deathly pale in an instant. He immediately stored the True Spirit Fruit and the other spirit item.
Sizzle~
Maoqiu's body was splattered with venom, and a piece of its flesh was instantly corroded.
Chen Jianghe flicked his Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword and, without hesitation, sliced off a piece of Maoqiu's flesh before recalling it to the spirit beast space.
In just two short moments.
Luo Xiyue's silver-white immortal robes were already corroded with several holes, and her spirit began to weaken.
"Quickly, take a Peace and Soul-Settling Pill!"
Chen Jianghe said urgently.
"I'm out."
"Open your mouth!"
Chen Jianghe immediately took out a Peace and Soul-Settling Pill and fed it to Luo Xiyue, his eyes fixed on the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python that was about to detonate its spirit.
Spirit Detonation was similar to self-destruction.
It was a talent exclusive to beasts with upper fourth-grade bloodlines.
As for self-destruction?
According to the *Chronicles of Tiannan*, only third-tier demonic beasts had the ability to self-destruct their inner core.
"Get ready to run!"
Chen Jianghe reached out, wrapped an arm around Luo Xiyue's slender waist, spun around, and sent her flying a hundred zhang away.
He stood within the range of the attack.
Looking at the dense spray of venom and the chaotic, frenzied soul attack, his eyes were cold and unusually calm.
He put away the Silver Moon Flowing Wave Sword.
He formed the 'Myriad Miles of Ice Seal' with his hands.
'Absolute Freeze' was cast in an instant. The ice source within his body surged out from his divine gate, guided by the 'Myriad Miles of Ice Seal'.
It swept away all the spiritual power in Chen Jianghe's Dantian.
The next moment.
A terrifying cold wave descended. With Chen Jianghe at the center, a hundred-zhang radius was rapidly frozen. Even the splattering venom froze in an instant, resembling translucent green crystals.
The pupils of the detonating Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python dilated. It was frozen in terror, its life force extinguished.
Everything within a hundred zhang was turned into an ice sculpture. Even Chen Jianghe was sealed in ice, his aura faint.
Besides him, all other life was extinguished.
"A Profound Ice Forbidden Art?!"
Luo Xiyue stared in astonishment at the frozen land. With a flash, she entered the domain created by the 'Myriad Miles of Ice Seal'.
At that moment, even her speed dropped drastically.
She scooped up Chen Jianghe's body and escaped the ice domain.
"Huu..."
Once out of the ice domain, the profound ice power on Chen Jianghe's body was like rootless water and instantly melted away.
"I seem to be quite strong?!"
Chen Jianghe glanced at the ice domain. The Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python was long dead. The hundred-zhang ice domain had severed all life.
Although the python had been heavily injured, it was still stronger than an average late tier-two demonic beast. Yet under his forbidden technique, 'Absolute Freeze', it had been powerless to resist.
It was frozen while in the middle of Spirit Detonation, its life force extinguished in an instant.
This made him realize the terror of 'Absolute Freeze'.
He secretly resolved not to use it again!
He had almost gotten himself killed.
Chen Jianghe hadn't expected 'Absolute Freeze' to be so powerful. He had thought that after casting it, his divine sense could still release Xiao Hei and then escape the ice domain.
But his divine sense had been frozen at that moment.
If not for Luo Xiyue, he would have likely perished by his own spell.
Boom!
Suddenly.
As Chen Jianghe's thoughts raced, a ray of rosy light shot out from the frozen spirit cave, dyeing the ice domain in seven colors.
"What is that?"
Chen Jianghe looked toward the spirit cave.
At this moment, the spirit cave looked like a passage.
Luo Xiyue glanced at Chen Jianghe, then walked toward the spirit cave.
Chen Jianghe's expression shifted slightly. He seemed to have thought of something. Watching Luo Xiyue slowly approach the spirit cave, a ripple went through his heart.
"My trial is over."
"Thank you for helping me kill the Spirit-Devouring Poisonous Python and opening the passage back to Ice and Snow Island."
"You still owe me one thing."
"I want you to come find me on Ice and Snow Island in fifty years and accompany me into the Snow Sect mystic realm. At that time, I will help you retrieve that supreme-grade spirit stone."
Luo Xiyue stood before the spirit cave, turned to look at Chen Jianghe, and pointed her slender hand toward the snow palace on the Great Snow Mountain.
With that said, without waiting for Chen Jianghe's reply, she turned and entered the spirit cave.
"I..."
The corner of Chen Jianghe's mouth twitched, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.
It wasn't that he wanted to go back on his word, but the key question was, where was Ice and Snow Island?
He really wanted that supreme-grade spirit stone.
Swoosh!
The moment the rosy light dissipated, a jade slip flew out and landed in Chen Jianghe's hand.
"A legacy jade slip?!"
"She has some conscience after all."
Rumble!!!
The short mountain began to tremble violently. A terrifying aura enveloped the entire mountain, and a wave of heat melted the ice and snow.
Even the ice domain created by his 'Absolute Freeze' began to melt.
"Let me out!"
Xiao Hei cried out urgently.
With a thought, Chen Jianghe released Xiao Hei, swallowed a Spirit Recovery Pill, and immediately hid in the space where the turtle's head retracts into its shell.
Escape!
He executed the 'Profound Earth Rock-Splitting Escape Art', instantly遁入山石之中, and fled toward the mystic realm's exit.
Boom!
Rocks shattered, snow pines snapped, and snow filled the sky.
Roar!
A giant python wreathed in flames broke through the cave's rock wall, shattered the restriction, and appeared on the short mountain.
The massive python's head had grown whiskers, its scales were bright red, and its tail was wide, like that of a fish.
It roared.
Sensing Xiao Hei's escaping aura, it coiled its body, soared into the air, and transformed into a streak of fire, speeding toward the mystic realm's exit.
At the same time.
On one side of the short mountain, atop a cliff, a Black Flame Fire Crow stood on a giant Fusang tree.
Its feathers were like black gold, but the feathers on its neck were fiery red. Its closed eyes breathed fire with every exhalation.
Its aura was rapidly climbing.
It seemed to be at the most critical moment of its breakthrough.
Scorching black flames emerged from its belly and quickly spread throughout its body, undergoing the final transformation.
"Xiao Hei, run faster!"
"I can't! A third-tier demonic beast is too fast."
After Xiao Hei broke through to the late tier-two, its 'Profound Earth Rock-Splitting Escape Art' was faster, no weaker than a Purple Lightning Cloud-Piercing Talisman.
It was even a notch stronger.
But in front of a third-tier demonic beast, this so-called extreme speed seemed somewhat inadequate.
Even a third-tier demonic beast not skilled in speed could crush a tier-two demonic beast in this aspect.
"Do I have to use the Lesser Teleportation Talisman?!"
Chen Jianghe really didn't want to use the Lesser Teleportation Talisman. It was a mystic talisman.
To him, it was more precious than attack or defense talisman treasures.
He had Xiao Hei, who could barely withstand an attack talisman treasure.
As for a defense talisman treasure?
He had Xiao Hei.
The Lesser Teleportation Talisman could allow him to escape from the clutches of a Core Formation expert in a time of danger.
Its value was immeasurable.
It was his greatest life-saving trump card.
But without using the Lesser Teleportation Talisman, even if he used the 'Blood River Escape Art', it would be difficult to escape the perception range of a third-tier demonic beast.
"Xiao Hei, sense for cultivators' auras."
Chen Jianghe said.
Xiao Hei's perception was powerful; it could sense cultivators or demonic beasts from a great distance.
Especially when cultivators produced spiritual power fluctuations, Xiao Hei could clearly sense their distance.
In the mystic realm.
As long as a cultivator was moving, there would inevitably be spiritual power fluctuations.
With Chen Jianghe's command, the direction of Xiao Hei's 'Profound Earth Rock-Splitting Escape Art' suddenly changed.
It headed east, slightly off from the mystic realm's entrance.
Chen Jianghe didn't disturb Xiao Hei at this time, allowing it to fully utilize its escape art divine ability.
Facing a third-tier demonic beast.
The two of them had no means to deal with it.
Even with Xiao Hei's unparalleled defense, it couldn't block the attack of a third-tier demonic beast.
Ten breaths later.
Chen Jianghe's spiritual power had recovered to fifty percent.
He swallowed another tier-two Spirit Recovery Pill.
He continued to recover his spiritual power.
A hundred breaths later.
Xiao Hei successfully escaped from beneath two cultivators.
"There's a demonic beast!"
"It didn't attack us?"
"Hiss, what incredible speed!"
"To think there's a demonic beast in this mystic realm that doesn't attack cultivators. It must be a kind one among the vicious beasts."
"Fellow Daoist Yang, we need to recover our spiritual power quickly. There will likely be a fierce battle when we head to the mystic realm's exit."
"Yes, the final battle at the exit is inevitable. It's a pity our Spirit Recovery Pills are all used up, otherwise... A Spirit Recovery Pill?! You still have one? Oh no, a demonic beast?? A third-tier demonic beast!"
The cultivator surnamed Yang watched in shock and confusion as his friend took out a Spirit Recovery Pill, swallowed it, and then quickly used an escape art.
Then he sensed a terrifying aura.
"How can there be a third-tier demonic beast?! Fortunately, I also saved one Spirit Recovery Pill!"
He immediately consumed the pill and quickly gave chase in the direction Xiao Hei had fled.
A quarter of an hour.
Xiao Hei passed by countless cultivators, sacrificing at least three late Foundation Establishment cultivators, and managed to pull away from the third-tier Crimson Scale Fire Python.
But it was still within its perception range.
"Xiao Hei, let me take over."
Sensing that Xiao Hei's spiritual power was running low, Chen Jianghe immediately took out a thousand spirit stones for Xiao Hei to devour and recover its strength.
He then recalled Xiao Hei into the spirit beast space.
Ever since Xiao Hei started cultivating the 'Six Revolutions Great Demon Art', as long as it physically consumed cultivation resources, the art could operate and cultivate even within the spirit beast space.
Chen Jianghe first used a Rushing Thunder Talisman.
He now had some distance from the third-tier demonic beast, with three fellow Daoists sandwiched in between, so he wasn't in a hurry to use the Purple Lightning Cloud-Piercing Talisman.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
Chen Jianghe used another Rushing Thunder Talisman.
Facing a newly advanced third-tier demonic beast, the advantages of these direct descendants from top immortal clans were on full display. By not hesitating to use their trump cards, they bought a great deal of time for Chen Jianghe.
They were all good people
