Chapter 864: Mountain Guardian

The beast's collapse set off a chain reaction.

The black vortex in the center of the altar vibrated violently, emitting suffocating energy fluctuations.

"Quick! Take advantage of now!" Changsheng shouted.

Li Yang understood and urged "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" again.

Only this time, he felt unprecedented resistance.

For some reason, the power of chaos is resisting crazily, trying to break free from control.

"Let me help you."

The silver bracelet in Changsheng's hand bloomed with a dazzling green light, complementing the power of "Taiyuan Xuanzang".

The two forces intertwined in the air, forming a complex energy network.

"This is...the power of Wu Xian Realm?"

Li Yang was secretly speechless and a little amazed.

The next moment, Chang Sheng gently raised his jade hand and recited an ancient mantra.

The cyan light band surrounding her suddenly surged and turned into countless fine threads, covering the entire altar.

"The living return to life, the dead return to death..."

"The universe is orderly, Yin and Yang are different..."

"..."

As her long chant slowly fell, those cyan threads suddenly tightened.

The black vortex made a strange sound that sounded like crying and laughing, and began to twist violently.

Countless chaotic energy was forcibly extracted, turning into little starlights in the air and dissipating.

The whole process lasted about as long as a stick of incense.

When everything calmed down, the originally eerie altar had returned to calm.

The traces of dirt on the ground gradually faded away, and a few young grasses even emerged from the cracks.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

Li Yan asked.

Changsheng nodded slightly:

"This source of pollution has been purified...it's just..."

She looked into the distance with a solemn expression:

"There are many more places like this."

"Not only the Wuxian world, but also many similar planes are facing such a crisis."

"Right now, the barriers between the various planes have been completely broken down."

"As all walks of life merge, the intrusion of Chaos will become more and more serious."

"If you can't find the root causes, solving them will only treat the symptoms rather than the root causes."

"The origin..." Li Yang said thoughtfully, "Do you know the origin of these things?"

Hearing this, Changsheng sighed slightly and shook his head:

"Unfortunately, the information I have is extremely limited."

"I just have some immature guesses, maybe they can provide you with reference."

"That sect that has appeared in many planes, they are obviously using the power of chaos to perform some kind of ritual..."

"It's not just to open up all walks of life or summon other gods."

"No one knows the reason behind it yet..."

"So..." Yan Yue frowned, "What kind of ritual needs to pollute the entire world?"

Changsheng shook his head:

"I don't know the specifics."

"But what is certain is that this ritual is related to the artifact."

"So we must hurry up and find other successors." She said,

"Only by collecting all the artifacts can they stop their plan."

"Use the exhaustive method to eliminate all possibilities?" Li Yang smiled and shrugged:

"Then keep on your way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the distance.

Everyone looked alertly and saw a dazzling light flashing in the sky.

"That direction..." Changsheng narrowed his eyes, "It's the fluctuation of another artifact!"

"It seems like someone found it before us." Li Yan said.

Li Yang shook his head: "No, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, another silver light pierced the sky.

"It's that guy!" Yan Yue immediately recognized the familiar aura.

"We have to hurry up." Changsheng said, "If we let him succeed..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Yang had already started: "Let's go!"

The four people immediately rushed towards the direction from which the light came.

On the way, the energy fluctuations became more and more violent. Apparently there was a fierce battle going on over there.

Li Yang accumulated strength while running.

He could feel that the Yuan Jade fragments in his body were resonating violently.

This shows that there is indeed another artifact ahead.

About a quarter of an hour later, they finally arrived at the scene of the battle.

It was a desolate valley that had been destroyed beyond recognition by the aftermath of the battle.

The man in silver armor was fighting fiercely with an old man in gray robes.

The old man held a simple wooden stick in his hand, and every time he waved it, it would stir up large tracts of rough-growing vegetation.

"Mountain Keeper..."

Changsheng said softly.

"Who?" Li Yang asked.

"The successor of Jumang, the God of Spring." Changsheng explained, "The staff in his hand is an artifact called the Shanling Staff."

"It is said that it was made from the branches of the sacred tree Fusang. It has the power to move stars and change the sun, and drive vegetation..."

"It seems very similar to some of your abilities."

After saying that, Chang Sheng looked at Li Yang carefully with a slightly complicated look.

And as soon as these words fell, there was another loud noise.

I saw the man in silver armor slashing out with his sword, and the terrifying energy fluctuations tore the earth apart.

The old man responded hastily, and although he blocked the blow, he was clearly unable to do so.

"This successor of Ju Mang will not last long." Yan Yue said.

"Understood...we have to intervene."

Changsheng said, already twisting his silver bracelet.

Li Yang also raised a hand slightly, and there were several seeds in his hand.

But just as they were about to attack, something strange happened!

The old man suddenly groaned in pain, and the mountain spirit staff in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

"Hehe..."

The silver-armored man sneered,

"Old man, your injury can no longer be suppressed?"

The old man was pale, but still held the wooden staff tightly:

"No matter what...even if I risk my life, I will not let the artifact fall into your hands!"

The silver-armored man flashed, and the long sword in his hand went straight to the old man's throat:

"Okay, then I will fulfill your wish!"

Seeing this, Li Yang and others attacked at the same time.

A field emitting green light suddenly descended, trapping the silver-armored man who was moving and the mountain guard in place.

Under the field of longevity, all attempts to take life will be meaningless.

At the same time, the cherry bomb thrown by Li Yang and the flames of Li Yan and Yan Yue were also stopped.

But then, Changsheng in the back row raised his hand slightly and removed the field that had just been used.

Three attacks came at the same time, almost unavoidable.

The silver-armored man was forced to change the trajectory of the attack and retreat.

"You again..."

He looked at Li Yang and his party who hurried over, snorted coldly,

"If you want to die so much, then I will fulfill your wish!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.

The dazzling silver light burst out from his body, forming a huge energy vortex.

"This is..." Changsheng exclaimed, "His breath is different from before!"

Li Yang here also felt the terrible breath.

Obviously this time, the silver-armored man is going to be serious.

"Get ready for a fight!" He said in a deep voice.

However, at this moment, the old man suddenly laughed.

"In the prophecy of the star realm, the right person has come..."

His voice was hoarse and firm,

"In this case, let this old bone play its last value!"

As he said, he clenched the mountain spirit staff with both hands and began to chant the ancient spell.

The majestic force of nature gathered from all directions, forming a huge energy vortex around him.
