Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 709

Outside the Beast King Sect, the vast lands were already empty.

Whether it was human cultivators, beast cultivators that roamed nearby, or even half-spirit beasts, as long as they were smart, they had evacuated the areas after receiving the Beast King Sect's warning.

This was the foundation and strength of a supreme sect. Once an evacuation order was given, the areas were cleared in a day.

Given the situation, those that were bold enough to resist or were not prepared within the limited time were knocked out and taken away without any room for discussion. The disciples from the Beast King Sect did not feel mentally burdened from carrying out their duties. As for the people and spirit beasts that lived nearby, they lived on the sect on a certain level, hence they dared not resist even if they had complaints.

2 days after they left, seas of armies from the Insects appeared one after another.

The Insects had always won by quant.i.ty among the other races. This was the case be it in the lower realm or the Spiritual Realm.

At the moment, the Insects that showed up outside the Beast King Sect mainly comprised 3 big races.

The Lizards, the Spiders, and the enormous Snakes.

As for the Centipedes, which were good friends with the Lizards, they were nowhere to be seen.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One from the Lizards, Black-faced Venerable One from the Spiders, and Gold-bodied Venerable One from the Snakes gathered and were looking at the mountain ahead from afar at the moment.

They were expressionless, but their eyes looked cold.

“Ghost-clawed, are you sure that Yuqi the Venerable One bullied your Twelve Walkers and killed them?” Black-faced Venerable One asked.

“Hmph, Yuqi, that old man, was entangled with me, then my children disappeared just like that. Who else could it have been?” Ghost-clawed Venerable One answered without any hesitation.

Gold-bodied Venerable One was an over 30-meters-long giant python. It looked smaller than certain giant pythons, but its momentum was so strong and violent that it was ranked first among the 3 Venerable Ones there.

It spoke, “Since Yuqi was the one that did it, that old macaque won't sit by idly. Heh, you're quite lucky; if he and the old macaque had joined hands, you might not have survived.”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One was furious. “Gold-bodied, they wouldn't have been able to stop me even if they joined hands!”

It was confident indeed. Ever since it became a Venerable One, while it could still be defeated, its survival ability advanced by leaps and bounds. Besides, it was not too possible to make a Venerable One stay. Not to mention 2 Venerable Ones joining hands, even if 5 or 6 Venerable Ones made arrangements in advance, they might not be able to make a Venerable One stay.

Gold-bodied Venerable One twisted its body a little and asked, “Do you think that the one from the 10,000 Beasts Ridge will be infuriated if we attack the Beast King Sect?”

Black-faced Venerable One blinked and said to Ghost-clawed Venerable One, “I heard that it recently visited 10,000-legged, which isolated itself and rejected your invitation, right?”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One was enraged. “The fact that that being visited 10,000-legged has nothing to do with what we're about to do today. Hmph, we followed the rules anyway; 3 Venerable Ones are here to attack today. If it intervenes, the nature of this war will change.”

Gold-bodied Venerable One swung its tail, causing sand and gravel to fill the air. It remarked as though it was not bothered at all, “I was only casually asking. Heh, I just don't want to have a direct conflict with that lunatic.”

They were extremely afraid of the Venerable One on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, so much so that they were not willing to mention its name at all.

“Look…”

Black-faced Venerable One suddenly looked up and laughed as it said, “The Beast King Sect has activated their Big Mountain-guarding Formation.”

Looking from a distance away, the gigantic undulating mountain range was shrouded by a faint layer of light. The light was not intense; it looked vague as if it did not exist at all.

Nonetheless, the 3 insect Venerable Ones knew how powerful the energy that was contained in the light was. Even if the 3 of them attacked together, they might not be able to break it.

Needless to say, this was because the Big Mountain-guarding Formation was being guarded by a Venerable One. Without the powerhouse, the formation would not be able to resist attacks from Venerable One.

“Hmph, a bunch of cowards. Let's go!” Ghost-clawed Venerable One sneered and took the lead.

Black-faced Venerable One and Gold-bodied Venerable One looked at each other. They followed behind without saying a word.

There would always be wars between the Humans and the Beasts, or simply among the Beasts. Even so, after countless years of experience and evolution, every party began to follow some conventional rules.

When Ghost-clawed Venerable One invited the insect powerhouses here to take revenge, they were not targeting the Humans but just one of the sects.

To avoid the war from further intensifying, which would cause a bitter end, both sides must have certain limitations.

The Insects could only send a maximum of 3 Venerable Ones while Yuqi the Venerable One could not invite equal-ranked powerhouses to join him. Of course, under the protection of the Big Mountain-guarding Formation, the outcome would almost be set if the Insects sent less than 3 Venerable Ones.

Led by the 3 Venerable Ones, plenty of insect warriors emerged from different places and slowly approached the formation.

Along the way, although living beings with wisdom had already evacuated the areas, many of the local living beings were still killed.

Various animals panicked and escaped, but how could they hide from the numerous insects, which seemed to be everywhere? Therefore, groups that were not protected by the Beast King Sect were annihilated.

Nevertheless, as compared to the Insects' armies, the small disturbance could only be considered an appetizer.

At last, the Insects' armies arrived in front of the protective s.h.i.+eld. Following that, orders were given to them.

The Insects did not attack the Big Mountain-guarding Formation like fools because they knew they would only be courting their deaths and would not succeed at all.

Humongous lizards walked out and formed a group in front of the formation. They stood side by side in a row.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One then nodded and ordered, “Shoot.”

With that, an incredibly forceful aura was released from its body, and it enveloped the army of lizards in an instant. The lizards became high-spirited at once, and they were no longer exhausted from their long journey.

Subsequently, they opened their mouths and exhaled black gases, which seemed to contain lives as they merged directly.

A few poisonous gases would not be mighty, and they could almost be regarded as non-existent as compared to the lizards' bodies. However, the situation was entirely different when there was a certain amount of black gases.

The countless black gases finally gathered and turned into an extrlarge black air ma.s.s.

Black-faced Venerable One was shocked. “Ghost-clawed, you have quite a number of powerhouses from your race. Your big formation isn't actually affected after the deaths of your Twelve Walkers?”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One scoffed. “The Lizards have well-trained powerhouses, so what if the Twelve Walkers are gone? They'll immediately be replaced by the Thirteen Generals.”

Black-faced Venerable One and Gold-bodied Venerable One could not help but laugh. They did not take it seriously.

In actuality, given a Venerable One's knowledge and strength, it would be easy for one to bring up a powerhouse from the younger generation if one was determined.

If a Venerable One remolded several Intermediate Spiritualists using all sorts of medicine and one's power, the spiritualists could likely become Advanced Spiritualists. Despite that, there would be a disadvantage, where the potentials of those Intermediate Spiritualists would have been squeezed out.

Not to mention trying to break through to become Venerable Ones, even if they wanted to advance to top-grade in the future, it would almost be impossible.

If Ghost-clawed Venerable One was willing to pay the price, it could indeed induce the so-called Thirteen Generals comprising high-rank spirit lizards indeed, but they would not be worth mentioning to real powerhouses.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One straightened its body and reached out its hand all of a sudden. The giant black air ma.s.s in the sky then rose about 305 meters before it stopped, and it crashed toward the mountain range ahead like a meteorite.

It took only a split second for the black air ma.s.s to fall. It exploded as if it was obstructed by something in mid-air, causing black gases to spread along the light ring.

Numerous people below the light ring were looking up at this time as the empty sky turned black without warning. Black gases drifted in mid-air, but they could not descend as they were blocked by an invisible power.

“Poisonous gas? Hmph, they don't know where they stand!” Yuqi the Venerable One stood on a high mountain with his hands behind his back. He looked disdainful.

Ou Yangming had long left his courtyard and was allowed to stand next to the Venerable On.

He was not as relaxed as the Venerable One when he looked at the black gases in the sky because he knew very well how frightening the Insects' poisonous gas was.

Having said that, when Ou Yangming turned to look and noticed how unconcerned the top-grade Spiritualists around him were, he knew he seemed to have underestimated the Big Mountain-guarding Formation.

“Boom…”

Another air ma.s.s struck the defensive s.h.i.+eld after a brief moment. Unlike the one before, it carried a colorful light and seemed rather beautiful.

In fact, it seemed to have suppressed the Big Mountain-guarding Formation's light.

“The poisonous gas cultivated by Black-faced is quite good; it's more powerful than before.” Yuqi the Venerable One's eyes lit up. He was praising his enemy, but he still sounded confident and did not worry about his formation.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming thought about something. He retrieved something from his interspatial bag after a moment of hesitation.

Ghost Mo's poisonous pill.

It was the poisonous pill that was obtained from Ghost Mo, which was a top-grade spirit beast from the Centipedes. After Ou Yangming's trip to the secret realm, it even gave birth to a spirit.

At this moment, Ou Yangming sensed the message released from the poisonous pill's spirit.

The little fellow seemed to be very interested in the poisonous gas above the Big Mountain-guarding Formation.
