Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1655: Chapter 1016: Mysterious Powerhouse

In the void, Yang Zhenshan’s qi mechanism streaked across like a meteor, but soon his figure emerged from the void into the real world, leaping over the overlapping mountain peaks at incredible speed.

Yang Zhenshan was not actually skilled in flying. Previously, he relied on the teleportation ability of the Spirit Source Land to have a unique advantage in speed and agility among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, so he hadn’t focused on cultivating flying spells and escape techniques.

But now, facing Golden Core Cultivators, his teleportation ability has instead become an unusable skill. It’s not entirely unusable, just not easily used, as once he employs teleportation, he might expose the location of the Life Realm Immortal Palace within the void.

With teleportation ability restricted, he’s at a disadvantage in speed.

Not to mention he’s facing an old-school Golden Core Cultivator like Chi Yuan; even if he were against a newly promoted Golden Core Cultivator like Jian Changhe, he would still be unable to maintain an advantage in speed.

“Damn it, if I survive this, I’ll definitely refine a proper escape technique!”

“Damn!”

Watching Chi Yuan relentlessly pursuing from behind, Yang Zhenshan seethed with resentment, never having encountered such a frustrating situation, being chased for thousands of miles; indeed, it was utterly exasperating.

A moment ago, he managed to hold Chi Yuan off a little, just for a few breaths, but now Chi Yuan was getting closer again. Continuing like this, he would certainly be caught by Chi Yuan again, leading to another predicament.

Two Golden Core Cultivators battling in the void won’t cause much disturbance in the real world, but if they fight in the real world, the impact can be felt a thousand miles away.

With them chasing and fleeing in the Wanhua Mountain Range, many cultivators and demon beasts within the range noted their battle.

Even Golden Core Cultivators were drawn by the disturbance of their battle.

In the sea-green forest, an extraordinarily beautiful woman stood gracefully on a cliff, her enchanting eyes watching the figures racing across the sky.

“Is that Chi Yuan? What’s that old thing doing? And who is he chasing?”

The beautiful woman had a pair of fluffy pointed ears, slightly trembling, adding a hint of cuteness to her enchanting appearance.

Amber-colored eyes flickered with a pondering look, then her figure flickered repeatedly, vanishing like a phantom in the bright sky.

Seeing Chi Yuan closing in again, Yang Zhenshan was furious, “Golden Crow, you have to save me!”

“Caw, caw, master, don’t worry; I’ll definitely hold him off!” the Golden Crow confidently declared.

Earlier, the Golden Crow resisted that wide Square Seal; although it hadn’t completely defeated that Square Seal Spiritual Artifact, it did buy Yang Zhenshan enough time to escape.

But the Golden Crow couldn’t endlessly wield True Sun Fire; each activation consumed its spirituality, especially when combating spiritual artifacts or Golden Core Cultivators of the same grade; the spiritual consumption was tremendous.

But now Yang Zhenshan had no other choice but to rely on the Golden Crow to buy time.

“Let’s go big!”

Yang Zhenshan threw all his stored Spirit Stones into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, even tossing in the Fire Attribute Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Those were Top-grade Spirit Stones; one Top-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Yang Zhenshan had obtained four pieces of Fire Attribute Top-grade Spirit Stones in the Sun Cave Heaven; these Top-grade Spirit Stones were no longer merely Spirit Stones but rare Spiritual Objects.

One Top-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a Third-stage Spiritual Object, and not just any Third-stage Spiritual Object. Compared to Third-stage Spiritual Objects, Top-grade Spirit Stones were exceedingly rare.

To save his life, Yang Zhenshan was willing to risk everything, throwing the four Top-grade Spirit Stones into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

“Caw, caw~~”

Golden flames erupted, intense True Sun Fire entwined the Golden Crow.

At this moment, the Golden Crow extended more than ten zhang long, enveloped in True Sun Fire, flying through the air like a blazing sun, even more dazzling and radiant than the bright sun.

Seeing the resplendent Golden Crow attacking, Chi Yuan’s eyes flashed with a harsh glint.

“Youngster, such tactics can’t stop this old man!”

Right now, he was utterly enraged. Initially, he merely wanted to capture Yang Zhenshan, but now he truly wanted Yang Zhenshan dead.

Losing three hundred years of lifespan made him furious enough to want to flay Yang Zhenshan alive and shatter his soul.

“Kun Yuan Wan Yue, Locking Spirit Peaks!”

From afar, mountain ranges rose as pale golden phantoms, hundreds of mountain outlines overlapping in the sky, forming an illusion of ten thousand peaks encircling him.

The mountain phantoms stood in front, colliding with the resplendent Golden Crow, unexpectedly forcing it back a hundred zhang.

Even the mountain phantoms pushed the Golden Crow swiftly forward.

Kun Yuan Wan Yue was a divine skill controlling mountains and Earth Veins; it could attract the souls of a thousand peaks, unite the earth and mountains as an extension of oneself, capable of crushing the terrain with the force of ten thousand peaks.

Mastering this divine skill allowed one to move mountains, adjust Earth Veins, and embody the Mountain God over thousands of miles.

In this mountain range, Chi Yuan True Monarch was indeed the Mountain God of Wanhua.

Though the Golden Crow was formidable, it hadn’t reached the point where it could stop Chi Yuan.

The Golden Crow’s impact merely paused Chi Yuan’s pursuit for a moment, and in an instant, the condensed True Sun Fire was scattered.

The Golden Crow returned to the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, its aura appearing listless.

“Master~~” the Golden Crow said pitifully.
