C353 Star Chaser
Above the Nine Heavens Squall, after the Yan Shan Taoist had turned into ashes, that middle-aged cultivator's originally relaxed demeanor suddenly disappeared. The hand that was holding the middle graded Dao Artifact Soul Locating Axe trembled uncontrollably, and his face suddenly became abnormally ashen, the True Essence in his body churned unceasingly, his throat suddenly tasted something sweet, and a stream of blood flowed out from his mouth.
"Ahem. Worthy of being called the Dao item that Patriarch Tendon used to sweep across the world! Although he only has a low-grade Dao item left, its power is still as great as ever!"
"It's a pity that I can't destroy that Heaven Shaking Sect's teachings. Forget it, these people's schemes are not something that I have the right to think about. It's better not to create unnecessary problems!"
Above the nine heavens, the astral winds whistled and the middle-aged Daoist cultivator from the Purple Wind Sect became fainter and fainter until she was like a bubble as she was blown away by the wind.
Suddenly, a blazing white light exploded in the night sky. Yang Junshan wanted to close his eyes, but the moment he did so, he seemed to see more than ten beams of light shooting out in all directions from the burning white light. Soon, more than ten shooting stars broke through the night sky.
Yang Junshan tried his best to resist the discomfort in his eyes as he stared at the shooting star closest to him in the sky.
"Swish!"
It flew across the sky along with a long, thin tail of flame and a strange, long whistle. With a loud boom, a huge mushroom cloud rose about ten miles away from the ground, causing even the ground at the foot of Yang Jun to shake violently.
Yang Junshan was not affected by the ground shaking, but the huge impact caused by the explosion forced him to hide underground temporarily. When he reappeared, the whole ground had been swept away three feet by the impact.
The spiritual qi was still fluctuating, but it couldn't affect Yang Junshan's escape. The air under his feet was steaming, and Yang Junshan was flying high in the air, but this speed left him speechless. Even so, it was still faster than his speed on the ground.
At a distance of over ten miles, no matter how slow Yang Junshan was, it didn't take him long to fly at full speed. From afar, he saw a huge pit filled with thick smoke, and when the falling meteor landed here, it also smashed through the underground waterway.
Yang Junshan looked around and found that no one else had come. However, he didn't dare to hesitate and went straight into the mud puddle, diving towards the bottom of the pit.
The mud at the bottom of the pit began to boil, and soon after, the ground began to shake as well. The mud at the edge of the pit began to collapse, causing the mud at the bottom to become even thicker.
Suddenly, another wave of mud exploded out from the bottom of the pit and flew out for dozens of feet. A body covered in mud landed on the edge of the pit and trembled. Yang Junshan, who was holding an oval shaped glass object that was half a foot long, appeared once again without a speck of dust.
The glazed object on the surface of this item must have been created when the meteor crashed to the ground. The high temperature heavenly fire that it brought along turned the earth into liquid and wrapped it around the treasure's body.
Yang Junshan had tried to peel off this glassy layer, but the hardness of this glazed layer surrounding the treasure body was far beyond his expectations. He had also injected his spiritual power into it in an attempt to stir the treasure body to respond, but it was still like mud entering the sea.
Fortunately, Yang Junshan knew that this was not a good place to stay. This Heaven Shaking Peak was originally only a few hundred miles away, and such a huge commotion would definitely attract the attention of the Heaven Shaking Sect.
At this moment, Yang Junshan didn't dare to control the light to escape. It was equivalent to telling everyone that the treasure was on him, so he could only rely on the winding terrain to keep changing directions, in order to get rid of any possible suspicions and attacks.
About an incense's time after Yang Junshan left the pit, another streak of light flew over from the horizon. In just a blink of an eye, it had already arrived above the pit.
The light dissipated and a cultivator around the age of thirty appeared to be surrounded by a layer of defensive qi. He was clearly a cultivator of the realms, but for some reason, this cultivator had a trace of panic on his face.
The cultivator stuck his head out to take a look, and a silent pressure was instantly generated. The vegetation around the pit quickly started to collapse in all directions with the pit as the center.
However, the invisible pressure suddenly disappeared, and a trace of anger and alarm flashed across the cultivator's face. However, the invisible pressure suddenly disappeared, and a trace of disbelief flashed across the cultivator's face.
The cultivator thrust his palms downwards and opened his palms outwards. There seemed to be an invisible force that opened up the bottom of the pit, causing it to split apart. However, the object that the cultivator was looking for was still nowhere to be found!
The angry cultivator suddenly waved his hand downwards, and the hole seemed to have been smashed down by a giant hammer. With a rumble, it caved in again, becoming even bigger and deeper.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Junshan himself had walked quite a distance. After judging his direction in the dark night, he should be heading due south of the Sky Mountain, but before he could let out a breath of relief, he suddenly felt a chaotic flow of spiritual energy not far away from him.
This was a battle between two people, and it was a chaotic one at that!
Yang Junshan's heart skipped a beat as he thought, [It can't be that coincidental right?] Recalling the dozens of falling meteors in the wilderness, one of the smaller balls of light had indeed landed in this direction.
He tried his best to hold his breath as he slowly approached the location of the battle like a bug. From a distance, he could hear the sound of spells and magic tools colliding with each other as well as the shouts and curses of cultivators.
In the darkness of the night, over ten Martial Disciples were fighting against each other amidst the chaos. There were still a few corpses lying on the ground.
In the middle of these corpses, there was a glowing ball of light that was very eye-catching. However, whenever someone tried to approach the ball of light, they would be attacked by the combined forces of the others.
Judging from their clothes, they should be Martial Disciples from the nearby manors and villages. They should be attracted by the meteors that were shooting towards them, and a few of them were wearing nightgowns. It was obvious that they had woken up from their sleep and rushed here before changing their clothes.0
Among them, there were three with the most vigorous auras, who were all at the Perfection Stage. On the other hand, outside of the ten or so cultivators fighting, there were still others hiding in the distance to watch, and the majority of these people were only at the Intermediate Martial Disciples.
This ball of light was only the size of a fist, and was obviously different from the treasures Yang Junshan had obtained before. However, Yang Junshan was very familiar with this ball of light, because he had just obtained two of them in the Sunset Cave.
How could there still be a Pearl of Inheritance falling from the sky when a shooting star was flying towards a general!
This thought flashed across Yang Junshan's mind. However, he suddenly remembered that before the meteors fell from the sky, the sky had changed several times in a short time. At the same time, the sky was lit up with vibrant colors.
Could it be that the treasures that fell from the sky weren't some kind of meteorite, but were formed from the scattered treasures of cultivators with great abilities after their deaths?
Thinking of this, Yang Junshan's gaze became even more passionate as he looked at the inheritance pearl. To be able to trigger a battle between powerful cultivators at such a large scale was at least a showdown between cultivators in the middle and later stages of the realms. The value of the inheritance pearl that they valued and carried on their bodies was obvious.
Even though Yang Junshan's heart was burning with passion, he knew that if he rushed forward to snatch the treasure, he would definitely become the target of the public. He still needed to hide himself and wait for the right moment!
It was also at this moment that the three Great Perfection Stage cultivators seemed to have reached an agreement. One of them suddenly charged towards the Pearl of Radiance, and a few cultivators nearby blocked his path.
The only three cultivators who were at the peak of the fifth realm were originally the ones they were most wary of. Now that they saw one of them charge forward, they were immediately attacked by all the cultivators nearby.
Seeing that the other abilities and magic tools were about to land on him, suddenly two rays of light pierced into the battle from the left and right, blocking everyone's attack. The one who attacked was none other than the two great cultivators of the Great Circle.
"Not good. If the three of them join forces, then everyone will have to stop them. Otherwise, no one can stop them!"
The rest of the Martial Disciples could clearly see the situation. Needless to say, they knew that at this moment, they could only defend against the three people with the highest cultivation bases!
However, it was clear that these three had been premeditated for a long time. The two Great Perfection cultivators had already occupied the appropriate positions, so they charged up from two different sides, coincidentally blocking the person at the front and blocking everyone's attack.
That person lowered his head and grabbed the ball of light on the ground. With a whistling sound, he fled into the wilderness. The two Great Perfection cultivators behind him blocked the crowd for a moment before they turned around to leave as well.
In the darkness of the wilderness, there were still people who tried to stop the Great Perfection Stage cultivator. However, most of them were early stage Martial Disciples of the first or second level.
However, just as he let out a breath of relief, he suddenly felt a strange wind blowing from above. He raised his head to look, and the miserable howl from the wilderness came to a sudden stop with a loud muffled sound.
