Legend Management Bureau Chapter 322

[ … words ]

“Oh no!” Taming Dragon roared anxiously, but before he could make a move to stop him, Gonggong burrowed into the mountain at blinding speed.

A deafening crash echoed through the air. In an instant, massive boulders were sent flying, and billowing clouds of dust erupted from the fissures in the mountainside.

Transformed into a water dragon, Gonggong tore through the interior of Buzhou Mountain like a bolt of lightning. At this moment, he was absolutely convinced that Buzhou Mountain was the weakness of the countless monks. As long as he crashed around with reckless abandon, he could turn the tide of the entire battle.

In the distance, the Tiger-Taming Arhat and the Joyous Arhat watched Gonggong burrow into Buzhou Mountain. Their expressions darkened instantly as they shook off their current opponents and rushed toward the mountain.

“Taming Dragon messed up!” the Tiger-Taming Arhat bellowed angrily. “If I had known, I would never have come as backup! If Mahakala casts the blame on us, none of us will be able to escape!”

“Hahahahaha! We are dead!” the Joyous Arhat laughed heartily, slapping his thigh. “We are completely doomed!”

As soon as the two landed, they channeled their boundless magical power. They first protected their own bodies, then extended their spiritual energy to shield the mountain. Although the mountain’s collapse slowed significantly, it did not stop.

It seemed that Buzhou Mountain falling was only a matter of time.

Right at this moment, a figure clad in black slowly flew into the vicinity. Upon closer inspection, it was Zhan Qisheng, who had just finished regulating his breathing!

Zhan Qisheng extended his hand, grasping at the empty air, and let out a resounding shout, “Ascending Waterfall!”

In the blink of an eye, spring water from within the mountain began to pour out through every fissure.

As the ancient proverb goes, a massive dam can collapse from a single ant hole.

The power of water differed from the other elements. Its strength lay in its ability to stretch for hundreds of kilometers and shift into any shape. Sometimes it accumulated quietly before bursting forth, while other times it raged in violent, surging waves.

If there was even a single point of breakthrough, the water would concentrate all its might on that one spot and take the opportunity to erupt with devastating force.

The water flowing from the mountain swelled rapidly. The immense torrent caused the cracks in Buzhou Mountain to violently tear wider.

“We cannot hold it!” Taming Dragon declared, his face twisted in panic. “Retreat!!”

Hearing this command, the horde of monks immediately dispelled their magic and took to the skies.

At the same time, the earth began to shake violently. Everyone felt their bodies pulling toward the southeast, as if the entire world had tilted on its axis.

Shiranui Asuka had experienced dozens of earthquakes of varying sizes back in Fusang, but none were as terrifying as this.

She gazed into the distance and saw that even the surrounding trees were snapping and bending in a single direction.

“The earth has actually tilted!”

Shiranui Asuka cried out in terror.

But when she looked up again, she realized that the entire sky, much like a colossal plate, was slowly tilting toward the northwest.

The sun in the sky was like a fireball rolling across the ground, plummeting rapidly toward the west.

All the clouds seemed to turn into ink spreading in water, gradually gathering toward the western horizon.

Buzhou Mountain, which had previously towered into the clouds, now began to collapse entirely. At the point where the mountain met the sky, a massive tear suddenly appeared.

The sky now looked like a cracked mirror. The fissure was pitch black, obscuring whatever lay hidden within.

Stars and flames rained down from the void like a torrential storm, smashing into the mortal realm.

The area surrounding Buzhou Mountain resembled a living hell. Enormous chasms opened across the earth, and molten rock immediately overflowed. Several monks and tribesmen who could not dodge in time were instantly reduced to ashes.

The next moment, countless demonic beasts slowly crawled out from beneath the ground. Upon closer inspection, the eyes of every creature were exceptionally cunning, as if they all possessed intelligence.

Seeing that the nearby humans appeared to possess considerable cultivation, they surprisingly chose to cast a Fleeing Spell, scattering in all directions.

With a deafening boom, Gonggong flew out from the wreckage of Buzhou Mountain. He threw his head back and laughed heartily, “Cowards! In the end, it was I who brought down Buzhou Mountain!”

Everyone naturally understood that Gonggong was speaking to those bizarre monks. But right at that moment, a seven-colored brilliant light descended from the heavens. This soft light appeared weightless, yet it pinned Gonggong directly to the ground like a colossal boulder.

Gonggong gritted his teeth, resisting the radiant light, only to find that he was completely outmatched. In that instant, he could not even twitch a single finger.

“Gonggong! What absolute audacity!!”

An ethereal, echoing female voice drifted down from the sky, ringing with celestial authority.

Zhan Qisheng looked up and saw that within the rift in the sky, a woman glowing with golden light was actually standing there!

This woman had the upper body of a human and the tail of a snake, but because she was too far away, her features were obscured.

“Great Goddess Nuwa!”

Zhan Qisheng suddenly remembered Du Yu’s previous plan. If N端wa appeared, he had to immediately tell her to head to Dragon Ancestor Island in seven days. Otherwise, the battlefield where Du Yu fought was doomed to fail!

Far away on Dragon Ancestor Island, Du Yu suddenly noticed that the sky had changed.

In the distant horizon, a massive tear had shattered the heavens.

Meanwhile, Dragon Ancestor Island and several neighboring small islands had unexpectedly turned into a sea of fire. Most of the forests had already been reduced to ashes, and it looked as though the blaze had been burning for days and nights on end.

“W-What is going on?” Shiranui Asuka exclaimed in shock. “Why has the sky torn apart?”

Hearing this, Yinglong looked at Shiranui Asuka as if she were a fool and asked, “Why is your reaction so sluggish? The sky tore open seven days ago! Are you only just realizing it now?!”

Du Yu ignored Yinglong. He turned around and sent a Voice Transmission to Xiao Qi, ‘Xiao Qi, the plan is almost complete! Tell Old Zhan to immediately seek help from the Great Goddess Nuwa!’

‘Understood!’

Upon hearing Xiao Qi’s command, Zhan Qisheng gave a slight nod and stated, “I was planning to do exactly that!”

With those words, he took to the air, flying straight toward N端wa in the sky!

When Taming Dragon saw Zhan Qisheng take flight, an instant sense of dread washed over him.

“Stop that man!!!”

Taming Dragon gritted his teeth hard. He had never imagined that this mission would be so troublesome.

The remaining few monks leaped into the air, and in an instant, the sky was filled with gigantic projections of Buddha.

Houtu looked up, as if she had suddenly understood something.

‘Buzhou Mountain was merely bait. All of this was for the sake of the person standing among the clouds!’

‘According to the Legends, the only “Great Gods of the Upper Realm” who possess the upper body of a human and the tail of a snake are likely Fuxi and N端wa.’

“I see. It is incredibly difficult for the world’s Rogue Immortals to reach the Upper Realm. Using such methods to force a Great God to intervene… well done, National Male Tribe.”

After saying that, Houtu’s expression turned frigid. She pointed toward the sky and, with the speed of lightning, unleashed a massive barrage of machetes formed from sand and stone, stabbing straight toward the backs of the monks.

Although the monks would not be killed by these blades, they could not afford to ignore the assault. They had no choice but to slow their ascent and deal with the attack carefully.

“Joyous and Tiger-Taming, come with me!” Taming Dragon roared. “The rest of you, block that spell!”

Following his command, three powerful figures burst forth from the swarm of black-clad monks. It was unmistakably the three Arhat Venerables: Taming Dragon, Joyous, and Tiger-Taming.

Their bodies radiated immense murderous intent as they closely pursued Zhan Qisheng.

At this moment, Zhan Qisheng was borrowing the power of a violent gale, sprinting at blinding speed toward the rift in the sky!
