Chapter 775 - 867 Xu Yong
In the ancient world, a wild atmosphere pervaded, making this land seem as if it had been silent for millennia.
Majestic peaks rose from the earth like celestial pillars holding up the sky, and atop two of these peaks lay a dazzling golden bone bridge, emanating an indescribable sense of oppression.
One could imagine that during the Primordial Era, many terrifyingly powerful beings resided here, capable of shaking the heavens and earth with a single thought. Even the residual aura, after countless eons, still lingered, exerting an overwhelming pressure.
This is the Path of Immortality, used in ancient times by Daoism for its disciples to test their aptitude for immortality.
As long as one could traverse the entire Path of Immortality without falling, it signified the potential for immortality.
As time flew by, ages passed.
Today, the Path of Immortality has become a tool for the Daoist Alliance to assess the Outer Sect.
Beneath the Path of Immortality, countless bottomless dark abysses divided the earth, giving it a somewhat sinister appearance.
This is the Abyss Edge.
On the Path of Immortality.
Chen Mo pushed forward with great effort, reaching a position about six hundred zhang away.
However, this distance still posed no significant challenge to him.
At that moment.
Chen Mo felt something and looked up, only to see a whistling sound approaching—a fist formed entirely of True Qi.
Chen Mo used the Red Dragon Demon Arm to punch downward, shattering the True Qi fist, but he was pushed back a dozen feet and had to start again.
Though this distance didn’t challenge him much, it still had an impact.
He glanced over and found that one of Han Zijing’s disciples, a male, was the one who attacked.
He remembered Yiren saying that this male disciple was named Xu Yong.
Seeing his sneak attack fail, Xu Yong, along with his fellow disciples Yan Hong and Wang Miaoxin, launched an attack on Chen Mo.
Chen Mo activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils and dodged all their attacks.
But behind Chen Mo, Wang Chen wasn’t so lucky.
Having struggled to reach the 550 zhang mark, Wang Chen was struck by an attack and was thrown back to about the 530 zhang position.
Wang Chen was furious.
He transmitted to Chen Mo, "Junior Brother Chen, take them down."
Wang Chen was utterly enraged at the three.
Did they have any idea how much effort he had put in to move just twenty zhang?
And now it was all for nothing.
Chen Mo frowned.
Originally, out of respect for their master being Yiren’s senior sister, he had decided to let them be.
But he didn’t expect they would dare to provoke him instead.
"Get off," Chen Mo roared fiercely, forming a seal with his hands as a ball of blue light erupted from his body and a giant bird beast appeared above his head.
"Drive them away."
Chen Mo commanded the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
He intended to travel even further.
Though the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow wasn’t a part of him, it could grow stronger based on his strength. Using it wouldn’t deplete his True Qi.
The only downside was that as the Spirit of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow, if it were summoned and then destroyed, it would mean the total disappearance of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
It differed from Treasure Techniques and Divine Techniques.
"What is that?"
Xu Yong, Yan Hong, and Wang Miaoxin’s pupils shrank in shock.
The Dragon-Devouring Sparrow summoned by Chen Mo was more formidable than the one Qiao Yushi had brought forth, exuding a full sense of oppression, its cold eyes watching the ants before it indifferently.
Upon hearing Chen Mo’s command, it flew towards the trio.
The giant wings beat fiercely, adding a hurricane to the already oppressive Path of Immortality.
Everyone behind Chen Mo fell silent upon seeing the enormous bird beast.
None of them recognized this kind of demon beast.
Its claws were even covered in Dragon Scales.
Xiao Qingtian, walking ahead on the Path of Immortality, glanced back, frowning at the monstrous entity hovering in the sky before turning his head forward, evidently unconcerned.
But Lan Chengting looked grim. Having lost to Xiao Jiu left a shadow, and he considered Chen Mo a formidable foe, unwilling to face him one-on-one.
Being affectionately called Master by Xiao Jiu suggested he had some hidden techniques.
"Stop it," Xu Yong shouted, but under the Path of Immortality’s limits, he couldn’t exert his full strength. He had only intended to interfere with Chen Mo from his position ahead, not expecting this response from Chen Mo.
Xu Yong and his companions were seized by the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow’s talons and whisked away.
Indeed, Chen Mo intended to throw the three from within the five hundred zhang range, eliminating them in the first round.
The trio struggled intensely upon realizing this.
Additionally, the disciples on the Path of Immortality joined forces to attack.
Rainbow-like streaks of light pierced the sky, ultimately hitting the massive body of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
Thud, thud!
A deep sound echoed constantly. Against such a mob attack, the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow was forced back dozens of zhang, its body bearing marks.
Roar!
The pain from its body made the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow roar in fury, its enormous wings flapping violently, sending a furious torrent of True Qi surging forth. A Flaming Tornado formed on the Path of Immortality behind, sweeping up weaker disciples of various sects and flinging them off the Path of Immortality.
Yet at this moment, Xu Yong seized the chance to break free from the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow’s claws, leaping off the Path of Immortality to avoid elimination.
This location was already beyond five hundred zhang.
As Xu Yong escaped and other disciples attacked, the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow hurled the two women in its claws like shells towards disciples on the Path of Immortality.
However, the Flaming Tornado blocked their view, causing the disciples to attack blindly. The powerful aftershock of True Qi launched the two women off the Path of Immortality.
This distance was within five hundred zhang.
This meant the two women were directly eliminated.
"Come back."
Seeing Xu Yong escape, disappointed that he only eliminated the two women, Chen Mo recalled the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
Outside, an uproar ensued.
"Dragon-Devouring Sparrow, that demon beast is a Dragon-Devouring Sparrow?!"
"Weren’t Dragon-Devouring Sparrows exterminated by the Dragon and Phoenix Races? How could one still exist?"
"That’s not a true Dragon-Devouring Sparrow; it’s the Spirit of a Dragon-Devouring Sparrow!"
"..."
The Elders, Sect Leaders, and representatives attending the ceremony were all shocked.
The representative from the Demon Control Sect raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing that Chen Mo’s method of summoning the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow closely resembled their sect’s Demon Control Skill.
