Chapter 154: Trap

The Yayu loftily raised its head, and its tiger claws dug into the ground. It was covered half in fish scales, half in flesh. The human face under its head spoke in human language. Although Primordial World’s Demon Beasts cultivate to the level of intelligence were able to learn human language, but a display like this was chilling.

Seeing Wan Xinyi and Wan Zhongnan devoutly kneel on the ground, adopting servant postures, Qi Lin and the others realized what was going on now.

A trap!!

“You actually act as accomplices to evil.” Ancestor Three Truths yelled.

Kuang Wenguang’s expression changed. Without saying a word, he turned into an escape light that flew towards the outer valley. This man’s thinking was shred; seeing the situation was unfavorable, he did not even need to think to be the first to run away.

But he had only just gotten airborne when his entire body suddenly seized in agony. His meridians were cold, and his magical energy was surprisingly unable to activate at all.

“It is your good fortune that you can become This One’s food. Obediently enter This One’s stomach.” The Yayu’s tone was sinister. Its tiger claws shifted, and swift as lightning, it used an ability. Its claws became fangs spanning more than seven chi in length, splitting open.

Desperate, Kuang Wenguang used his “Evergreen Swords.” A hundred green sword-lights whistled forth and adopted a sword array. This array stood in this withered valley like an enormous pine. All of a sudden, green light gushed forth and flourished.

Powerful sword-qi flowed out from the pine-green sword, impressing Qi Lin.

This man’s power was exceptional, and this sword chant ability was perhaps thorny even for a Primordial Infant Early Stage old monster.

Cultivators able to reach Western Kunlun were naturally the arrogant type. How could they venture to the ends of the Western Sea and come to this Divine Mountain without formidable abilities. This was also one of the reasons Wan Xinyi sought them out; cultivators needed enormous talent to be able to arrive at Western Kunlun, to stand out from the crowd. And the Yayu needed the souls and flesh of these geniuses as nourishment.

“Eternal pine, everlasting flood!!”

Kuang Wenguang’s eyes were bloodshot as he slashed at the Yayu in front of him with the pines of the green sword array.

That tiger claw immediately broke apart.

The Yayu’s body moved, and its claws produced wind. Its steps in the air seemed to shatter the earth, releasing rumbling thunder. The Yayu’s claw attacked. This slash was sudden and without warning, yet it was filled with a terrifying power without any superfluous elements as it descended upon the world.

This attack elicited a wretched cry. The entire valley filled with a black wind, brimming with cruelty, ruthlessness, ferocity, and mercilessness.

The black light obscured the green. Kuang Wenguang’s Evergreen Swords were broken. The pine was destroyed, and the claw-light immediately seized his body.

“Don’t kill me, I am willing to work like an ox for you!!” Kuang Wenguang screamed in terror.

“Very good, then work as This One’s food.” The Yayu bit off his head and swallowed.

The entire process lasted an instant. Golden Core Late Stage Kuang Wenguang was eaten by the Yayu.

The color drained from the female cultivator’s face. She was already unable to muster any strength.

“Not bad, not bad, a ‘Wood’ element soul.” The Yayu savored Kuang Wenguang’s flavor, nodding in satisfaction.

“They are all meticulously selected Five Elements bodies.”

“Fellows, do not be deceived. This Demon Beast is only Primordial Infant Realm. If we work together, we can kill him. Beast who violates the heavenly way, we will restore justice on Heaven’s behalf today.” Ancestor Three Truths was fully worthy of being a Primordial Infant ancestor, for he immediately returned to his senses.

Upon careful inspection, although the Yayu had killed Kuang Wenguang, its claws were covered in injuries. Clearly, it had been harmed by his sword chant just now.

Elder Min immediately took action.

The Primordial Infant cultivators were both experienced and had weathered many trials. They had walked the dark bridge of life and death countless times and were completely unperturbed that the Yayu had eaten a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.

The two Primordial Infant Realm old men immediately used their strongest abilities and magic treasures.

Ancestor Three Truths moved his thoughts. His pupils contracted, and rays of light burst from his surroundings and directly attacked the Yayu.

They collided at speed. The Yayu’s body shrunk, and it used a mysterious body technique to its fullest effect. It quickly arrived behind Ancestor Three Truths and silently reached for the old man’s neck.

Ancestor Three Truths snorted. Without even moving, another ray of Void Light quickly contorted and arced up from a blind spot, blocking the claw. At the same time, a third beam attacked. These three beams were swift, arriving in an instant from unknown origins towards uncertain destinations.

This was Ancestor Three Truths’ ability, “Immemorial Three Truths Chant.”

First truth, “human world purification.” Using the eyes as blades, destroy all scourges in view.

If the opponent avoided the First Truth, the Second Truth, “Primordial Incapable.” Using thoughts as a blade, remove all danger around oneself, and the Third Truth, “Ancient Destruction,” used Heaven and Earth as the blade. It attacked without need for conscious thought, able to completely destroy the enemy.

This Immemorial Three Truths Chant was an ability that the old man had throughout his whole life. As the name suggested, it was from this that he received the Daoist name, “Three Truths.” Once used, there was absolutely no possibility for the opponent to survive. Normally, Ancestor Three Truths may have seized the advantage, but it was used against the Strange Beast Yayu, a god of legend.

The terrible qi all over the Yayu became a miasma, a rolling black cloud. The Three Truths sword-lights ripped the black cloud into nothingness, yet he was completely unable to sense the Yayu’s substance.

The old man’s expression slightly changed. He activated a magic treasure, an old bell.

The bell floated into the sky and emitted a mysterious tone.

When this tone manifested, it unleashed a soundwave that lingered and formed a defensive array to protect the old man while also probing empty space.

“Huh, what is this.” Ancestor Three Truths suddenly sensed his entire body go cold. His magical energy seemed to be sealed. Whether it was magic treasure or ability, both were drastically weakened.

“As expected of a Primordial Infant ancestor. You are not easy to handle without the Snow Plum Seed Pill.” Wan Xinyi smiled.

“That Snow Plum Seed Pill!!” Ancestor Three Truths’ complexion paled.

“Correct. This pill’s initial taste is like frost, and it is indeed capable of protecting the mind from confusion. Furthermore, you must ingest it to be able to enter the valley. As for the aftertaste, once the outer snow thaws, the ice-cold will chill you to the bone, rendering a cultivator only able to muster half their magical energy. Even a Primordial Infant cannot escape this.” Wan Xinyi said with confidence.

“Why do this!!” Ancestor Three Truths inquired.

“Hmph.” Wan Xinyi disdained to answer.

The Yayu appeared out of thin air, its tiger claw moving, completely blocking the Three Truths sword-lights.

“Elder Min, assist me!!” Ancestor Three Truths promptly shouted.

Elder Min from the start did not dare be careless, but his movements were very steady. He similarly activated a magic treasure. This one was a large stele, ancient, borne on the back of a Spirit Beast. The stele’s script resembled birds. The stele expanded in size, reaching several dozen zhang in the Valley of Two Burdens.

When this stele appeared, the entire valley seemed to be fixed in place. The streams were all frozen, and an enormous pressure bore down on the area.

This “Great Earth Stele” was Elder Min’s most powerful magic treasure. It was capable of pinning formations, abilities, Demon Beasts, and cryptic creatures.

“Metal element and Earth element…Not bad, not bad.” The Yayu was very content to face the two Primordial Infant old monsters. It slammed the ground, jolting the valley.

The Great Earth Stele was surprisingly unable to freeze the valley and tottered on the edge of collapse.

The old men had lost more than half their magical energy and were basically unable to sustain this.

“This One has been trapped for a thousand years in the Valley of Two Burdens. Witness This One’s magic treasure.” The Yayu cackled and grinned. It opened its maw, and a black ball of light was spat out.

This ball was like a black hole, surprisingly sucking in all of Ancestor Three Truths and Elder Min’s magical energy and magic treasures.
