Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 453: Adventure

The wisp of soul of the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch is indeed extraordinary. Its strength may only be one-tenth of the True Monarch’s, but with just a casual strike, it can wound three powerful Third Rank demonic beasts.

As the wisp of soul attacked the Golden Tiger Demon General and his comrades in the sky, Meng Zhang and the others immediately prepared to fly away from there.

This wisp of soul is too formidable, and several Gold Core Daoist Masters cannot contend with it.

Gu Yue Huaidie, who understands the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch’s Divine Ability best, explained to her companions as they retreated, “This wisp of soul possesses a part of the consciousness of the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch. It is not a mere mechanical entity. With the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch’s combat awareness, even if it can only exert a small part of the True Monarch’s strength, it is more than enough to crush us.”

The massive purple-golden finger swept through the sky, forcing the Golden Tiger Demon General and the other two to retreat continuously, struggling to maintain their footing.

“Now you want to run? It’s too late,” sneered a contemptuous voice. Another purple-golden massive finger chased after Meng Zhang and his group, fiercely pressing down on them.

Facing the wisp of soul of the Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch, the group exerted all their efforts, using their respective means to try to block this round of attacks.

Meng Zhang wielded the Shadow Killing Sword, displaying the Lifeless Killing Sword, and fully confronted the massive purple-golden finger.

On the other side, the Golden Tiger Demon General desperately resisted while shouting, “Senior, I am not your enemy! I am from the Purple Gold Sect.”

“Bold! A mere demon dares to impersonate a disciple of the Purple Gold Sect,” came a furious shout, followed by even fiercer attacks.

Golden Tiger Demon General felt extremely frustrated; he genuinely was from the Purple Gold Sect. As a spirit pet, he had lived there for many years and was extremely loyal to his owner and the sect.

Throughout the years, he had always considered himself a disciple of the Purple Gold Sect. Even after the sect’s downfall, he had entangled with the sworn enemy, Flying Swan Sect, for revenge, despite having some ulterior motives of his own.

He had paid a considerable price this time, even persuading Dark Crow Demon General to help, all to reclaim what he believed was rightfully his heritage as a member of the Purple Gold Sect.

Unexpectedly, the wisp of soul of the Purple Gold Sect’s Primordial SpiritTrue Monarch regarded him as a demon and refused to acknowledge him as a disciple of the sect. This deeply hurt Golden Tiger Demon General and left him feeling indescribably wronged.

However, his enemies wouldn’t listen to reason and continued launching relentless attacks.

Golden Tiger Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General could barely hold on, but Earth Fox Demon General, the weakest among them, was already struggling.

This wisp of soul was too fierce, able to gain the absolute upper hand against nearly ten Gold Core-level experts in combat.

“This wisp of soul cannot exist forever. Once its power is depleted, it will naturally dissipate. We don’t need to confront it head-on; our priority is to retreat,” Gu Yue Huaidie, with her keen insight, had the clearest understanding of the situation.

Everyone followed Gu Yue Huaidie’s advice, fighting while retreating and gradually moving away from the area.

The Golden Tiger Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General on the other side had likely made the same judgment as Gu Yue Huaidie; they were unwilling to engage in a head-on battle with their enemy.

Golden Tiger Demon General and Dark Crow Demon General did their best to block one wave of attacks before immediately flying away.

Earth Fox Demon General, the weakest one, became the main target of the assault. They were too preoccupied with their own escape and neglected Earth Fox Demon General.

A piercing and mournful scream echoed as Earth Fox Demon General’s body was torn apart, and the remaining half flew lifelessly to the side.

Meng Zhang, who was withdrawing from the battlefield, saw this scene and didn’t hesitate, immediately flying over to retrieve Earth Fox Demon General’s remains.

“Bold!”

In the sky, even fiercer attacks descended, aiming directly at Meng Zhang’s vital points. The two Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect looked at Meng Zhang with a somewhat gloating expression. In their hearts, they wished for Meng Zhang’s death here. If that happened, there would be one less variable and much less trouble in the Endless Sea of Sand. Qi NanfeiDaoist Master from the Northern Desert Qi Family also had no intention of rescuing Meng Zhang. Luo YeDaoist Master and Gu Yue Huaidie were too far away to fly over and help in time.

Facing an unprecedented fierce attack, Meng Zhang used all his skills, summoning both the Fierce Yang Sword and the Shadow Killing Sword, unleashing the Strange and Upright Sword Art. The two flying swords, one bright and one dark, actively met the enemy’s attack. “Strange and Upright Sword Art,” a voice with some confusion sounded, and the fierce assault slowed slightly. Seizing this rare opportunity, Meng Zhang defended against the enemy’s attacks while quickly retreating, fleeing the battlefield at the fastest speed possible. As Meng Zhang was the last to leave the battlefield, this short yet intense battle came to an end.

The wisp of soul likely had some kind of restriction, preventing it from leaving that area too far. “You were too reckless just now,” Luo YeDaoist Master said to Meng Zhang. Meng Zhang smiled a little embarrassedly. His actions were entirely instinctual without any conscious thought. Although Earth Fox Demon General’s body was shattered, the demonic core was still intact. For Taiyi Sect, which lacked Foundation Building Pills, the inner core of a Third Rank demonic beast was incredibly crucial. So much so that even the Sect Master, Meng Zhang, was willing to risk his life and fight desperately to seize it.

Fortunately, Meng Zhang was lucky enough to come out unscathed. The Strange and Upright Sword Art he obtained from the Purple Gold Sect’s cultivator’s cave had been of great help. At this moment, six human Gold Core Daoist Masters and two Third Rank demonic beasts faced each other from a considerable distance. Seeing Meng Zhang risk his life to seize the Earth Fox Demon General’s body and return successfully, Fei YuDaoist Master and Fei JiangDaoist Master felt envious. The inner core of a Third Rank demonic beast meant a furnace of Foundation Building Pills. Even for the Flying Swan Sect, Foundation Building Pills were always in great demand. Especially in recent years, their Foundation Building cultivators had consumed a lot, and they urgently needed fresh blood to replenish their ranks. Foundation Building Pills had become a scarce resource.

Fei JiangDaoist Master and Fei YuDaoist Master were both considering how to persuade everyone to join forces, kill the two Third Rank demonic beasts, and seize their inner cores. This would also serve as retribution for the earlier humiliation and erase the shame. Qi NanfeiDaoist Master from the Northern Desert Qi Family had the same idea and exchanged a meaningful glance with the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect. They were preparing to secretly communicate with Meng Zhang and the other two when the ground began to tremble violently.

Everyone looked at each other, a bit puzzled about what was happening. Gu Yue Huaidie closed her eyes, and after a while, she said anxiously, “Something’s wrong. The markers established by the Great Void Restriction are disappearing.” Gu Yue Huaidie’s words shocked everyone. Without the markers’ guidance, they would be unable to traverse the vast void and return to the Grand Dust World. Being trapped in the void, the Gold Core Daoist Masters could only hope for a heaven-defying stroke of luck; otherwise, they would be trapped to death.
