Wang Canghe, having retreated hundreds of meters, gasped for breath before finally lowering his right hand.
The other day, he cultivated the Hun Yuan technique to its peak, which is why he could withstand that strike just now.
Otherwise, the might of that thunderclap would be enough to shatter his shield… even three lives wouldn’t be enough!
“This person…” Wang Canghe had just raised his eyes when he suddenly felt a flash of gold before him!
Fang Yu, getting closer!
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy!
Wang Canghe only felt his whole body tense, and once again propped up the Hun Yuan shield!
“Boom!”
Fang Yu’s fist slammed against the green light shield, producing another earth-shattering boom!
Wang Canghe, once again, was blasted back a hundred meters!
This time, the Hun Yuan shield is nearly broken!
Just a few exchanges left Wang Canghe with no confidence at all!
As a cultivator in the integration stage, he… couldn’t even land a single punch in front of Fang Yu! Let alone defeat him!
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu appeared before Wang Canghe once again.
Wang Canghe gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his left hand, and unleashed his martial arts skills!
A powerful light emanated from him, instantly pulling him back hundreds of meters.
“Well, here we go again with the ‘hawk and chickens’ game,” Fang Yu said, watching Wang Canghe in the distance, his brow furrowed.
Wang Canghe stared at Fang Yu, his expression no longer able to maintain a peaceful state.
A heart pounding with intensity told him… today, he might face the strongest opponent he’d ever encountered in his life!
…and the context of their two-person operation … left them with no way out.
If Wang Canghe were to lose, the entire Wang family would be ruined!
This battle, victory must be won, and there is only this one way to go!
Wang Canghe gritted his teeth, his eyes resolute.
Now, there’s no holding back. We must use every means at our disposal.
Wang Canghe’s heart moved, and a ray of light flashed above his head.
A book that looked quite substantial appeared in his right hand.
Fang Yu was about to charge towards Wang Canghe, but he caught sight of the book in his hand.
“This is…” Fang Yu frowned.
“This is the heirloom of our Wang family, the Shan Hai Jing!” Wang Canghe roared with bloodshot eyes.
The Shanhaijing artifact will only be left to the strongest person guarding the Wang family.
Since there is no elder of the level of Grand Elder in the current Wang family, this heirloom treasure passed down through generations has fallen into the hands of Elder Wang Canghe, who guards it.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas has been passed down through the generations, but it was never actually used. It was more like a symbol of imperial power and prosperity.
Now, facing the terrifyingly powerful Fang Yu, Wang Canghe has no other choice but to summon the Shan Hai Jing, seeking a glimmer of hope!
But in reality, even if he summoned the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Wang Canghe had no confidence!
The Shan Hai Jing, left behind by ancestors of the Wang family who were powerful cultivators, must be an extremely potent magic artifact. This is beyond doubt.
But… besides our ancestors, not a single elder, not even the Supreme Elder, across so many generations has ever truly used the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
That is to say, Wang Canghe didn’t have any experience using the Classic of Mountains and Seas at all!
He was even unsure if he could exert even one-third of the power of the Classic of Mountains and Seas…
“This artifact… is it from your family?” Fang Yu looked at Wang Canghe, squinting.
The Shan Hai Jing artifact, just like the Yuan Mie Hua, Tai Sui Jia, and Li Huo Yu, are all things that exist in legends.
Fang Yu had read the mythology collection with the same name, but the original *Shan Hai Jing* was never seen by the world, and there were no relevant records left behind.
To actually see it in the hands of a Nascent Soul stage elder from the Wang family now?
Where did the Wang family obtain the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Facing Fang Yu’s question, Wang Canghe did not answer.
He closed his eyes, pressing his right hand against the bottom of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, channeling his true qi into it.
“Bang!”
Upon receiving the book imbued with true Qi, it immediately emanated a faint translucent glow.
It suddenly flipped open the book, and within the shimmering light that emanated from it, strange phantoms of ancient, formidable bell-monsters slowly glided past.
But the various fiends in these illusions are so lifelike, even gnashing their teeth and clawing!
This is the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
Wang Canghe opened his eyes and looked at the ancient fierce spirits flying past him one by one, his eyes full of shock.
He had only heard vaguely about the functions of the Classic of Mountains and Seas before, but he had never witnessed it!
Now, he has the opportunity to become the first person in his family history to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas!
At this moment, a strange bird with nine heads and feathers of every color slowly glided past the light curtain.
It’s you.
Wang Canghe’s heart moved, and he selected this unknown ancient fierce spirit.
A huge suction force emanated from the Shan Hai Jing.
In just a few seconds, Wang Canghe felt that seventy percent of his true qi was being drawn away!
At the same time, the Classic of Mountains and Seas emitted a more intense light!
“Boom…”
At this moment, heaven and earth change color!
The clouds above quickly dispersed, and an ancient aura emanated.
“Cold…”
A deafening shriek erupted from within the blinding light.
As the light dissipated, a gigantic bird with nine heads and multi-colored feathers appeared above Wang Canghe’s head!
This bird is 30 to 40 meters tall and at least 80 meters long!
Its nine heads, each facing a different direction, cried out in unison.
This piercing shriek was so powerful that it caused many people’s ears to bleed!
Fang Yu looked at the nine-headed bird, his eyes filled with shock.
He hadn’t figured out the construction of this nine-headed bird yet.
But as it stood, this griffin gave him the feeling of being very much alive, and exuding an ancient aura that didn’t belong to this age.
Can a magical artifact be used to summon an ancient ferocious spirit within a short period of time?
What is the principle behind this? How is it done?
Fāng Yǔ didn’t have time to think deeply, the nine-headed bird in front of him had already rushed towards him.
In the air, nine heads made different movements.
Three of them had their mouths wide open, each emitting energy orbs of different colors. The other six heads craned forward, as if trying to swallow Fang Yu whole.
Fang Yu’s figure flashed, advancing instead of retreating.
With a leap, he found himself above one of the heads, and stomped down hard with both feet.
“Boom!”
With a deafening explosion, the head shattered into pieces.
But strangely, the exploding head did not splatter blood, but instead turned into countless shattered pieces of stone.
Noticing this scene, Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly.
It’s definitely not a real living thing.
But if the essence is merely stone, how can it be endowed with consciousness, like a living being?
Fang Yu didn’t think deeply because the eight skulls beside him were attacking him again.
……
When Fang Yu faced the Nine-Headed Bird, Wang Canghe stood in mid-air, watching the ancient ferocious spirits quickly passing through the light curtain in front of him. His eyes were filled with excitement.
He took out several Ju Ling Pills from his storage pouch and popped them into his mouth.
Qi within the body, rapidly recovers.
Just a little warm-up.
To defeat Fang Yu, a more powerful vengeful spirit must be summoned!
Wang Canghe was recovering his true qi while looking for the various ferocious spirits presented in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
“Wow…”
But before he could look for more than a few seconds, he heard a loud bang from the front.
Lifting his gaze, he saw the nine-headed bird in front of him, now engulfed by a vast expanse of crimson flames.
In a short span of time, the nine-headed bird was burned to charcoal and fell to the ground.
“Come, summon another ancient fierce spirit to take a look.” Fang Yu’s voice entered Wang Canghe’s ear.
Wang Canghe’s face changed, and he immediately turned his head to find Fang Yu standing beside him!
Wang Canghe immediately used his body technique, once again widening the distance to about a hundred meters.
At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the ferocious phantom in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, his heart pounding with anxiety.
The nine-headed monster bird summoned by him using seventy percent of his true energy was easily dealt with by Fang Yu…
This time, he had to summon a powerful enough vengeful spirit!
Otherwise, his true energy will be depleted, leaving him with no hope of survival!
Wang Canghe was extremely anxious, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the phantom in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
At this time, a ferocious spirit, coiled up like a ball with the face of a man and the body of a serpent, appeared before him.
Could this be the… Candle Nine Yin from all those myths and legends!?
Wang Canghe shuddered, without much thought, he immediately selected it.
This time, the Classic of Mountains and Seas directly absorbed all his internal qi!
Wang Canghe let out a muffled groan, unable to maintain his position in mid-air and plummeted downwards.
