Chapter 393: Chapter 325: Snowfield Duel, Divine Fire Descends

"Everyone, stop arguing!"

It was still the most powerful Elder Kamo, with three heads and six arms, a green face and tusks, stepping forward with his staff, his face gloomy.

"The Divine Hall has emerged, and we don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse. Let’s first figure out what’s inside. If it’s a threat, we will eliminate it together and then distribute it. I, Kamo, swear a blood oath here, it will be absolutely fair."

"That sounds good."

A series of Divine Thoughts exchanged, and a consensus was quickly reached. Immediately, several aged elders wrapped in hide cloaks and withered in appearance formed a circle, their staffs inlaid with Demon Bones of Desolate Beasts striking down in unison.

Boom!

The snowy plains shook violently, Earth Vein Spiritual Qi surged, and visible black ripples surrounded half of the Holy Mountain, spreading upwards relentlessly.

The Sun Divine Fire radiated its immense brilliance. Although they didn’t have Zhang Kui’s investigation skills, the ancient Witchcraft Path Earth Vein Exploration Technique could communicate with heaven and earth.

Inside the Divine Hall, Zhang Kui lay on the ground, his severely shattered body already half healed. Behind him, a phantom of a strange bird furiously drove the True Sun Fire to expel the Yin Yang True Fire, while above, a massive cylindrical artifact was being forged.

Indeed, this was the prototype of the Starship Divine Fire Cannon, though constructed with red Crystal Stones. There would be better designs, but Zhang Kui, constrained by time, could only opt for this most reliable and stable form.

Red Crystal Stones could accommodate and conduct Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, naturally possessing high endurance. Despite being familiar with them, the refinement process was still arduous.

Suddenly, Zhang Kui detected the elders’ means and cursed under his breath, hurriedly gathering his partially recovered mana to cast the Eclipse Skill to obscure heavenly secrets.

Meanwhile, the black light continued its ascent. As it resonated with the Earth Veins, a blurry shadow appeared within the circle formed by several elders.

Outside the Divine Hall lay ruins and statues in disarray, while inside, light and shadow were a chaotic blur, revealing nothing.

"Someone is obscuring the heavenly secrets!"

Elder Kamo exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

This type of investigation skill was rare, and divine powers capable of obscuring heavenly secrets were rarest of all, known to ancient races but long lost.

More importantly, this indicated the presence of a highly skilled entity within who knew what they were doing and had already begun to defend against it.

Amidst the loud clangs echoing through the sky, Elder Kamo felt an even more intense sense of foreboding and raised his head abruptly, saying sternly:

"We can’t hesitate any longer. There’s something difficult to deal with inside. Either leave it alone, or go in now—everyone make your choice!"

Leave?

With such a massive temptation ahead, no one was willing. Thus, nearly a hundred Ancient Race Mahayana Realm elders manifested their Heaven-Reaching Dharma Aspect and slowly pressed toward the Holy Mountain.

The Sun Divine Fire’s light was intense but still bearable on the outskirts, and everyone quickly rushed to the mountaintop.

Here, the True Sun Fire had already spread everywhere, the entire temple seemingly ablaze.

A robust elder with a single horn and carrying a spear made of Desolate Beast Demon Bone slowly extended his hand, enveloped in dense Blood Evil, preparing to touch the True Sun Fire.

This was a ruthless man, prepared to sever his arm with the spear in his other hand to prevent being set ablaze.

Power demands a price; it’s an eternal truth.

All eyes were on him. As soon as he touched the True Sun Fire, a scream escaped his lips as his blood-covered form began to char visibly.

Everyone gasped, quickly retreating.

At that moment, the damaged Crystal Stone Divine Hall seemed to trigger some mechanism, vibrating with a resonant hum.

Just as the Unihorn Elder prepared to sever his arm, his expression shifted. Looking blankly at his arm, though charred, the True Sun Fire seemed tamed, burning gently without causing harm.

The Unihorn Elder’s face lit up with wild joy, lifting his hand; the True Sun Fire whirled and danced within it, "I’ve tamed the True Sun Fire, I’ve tamed the True Sun Fire!"

Instantly, countless greedy eyes fixed upon the Divine Hall.

Simultaneously, the temple’s glow softened, emitting an endless allure.

"Mine! It’s all mine!"

The Unihorn Elder’s eyes filled with frenzy as he charged inside, losing all reason.

"Bastard!"

Inside the hall, Zhang Kui’s expression changed drastically, glaring fiercely at the surrounding temple walls.

The Starry Sky Evil God Red Pigeon had indeed crafted an intricate temple for its offspring, anticipating even such extreme situations.

As expected, as the Unihorn Elder neared the temple, his Divine Soul and body turned to ashes, a surge of vitality absorbed, while the strange bird phantom seemed significantly invigorated, and the Yin Yang True Fire abruptly halted.

The fate of the Unihorn Elder drew gasps from many, yet the temple’s enticing light grew stronger.

"Retreat, retreat, don’t look!"

Covering his eyes, Elder Kamo retreated frantically.

Many, like him, fled the Holy Mountain’s perimeter in panic, yet others hesitated, their eyes gradually showing fanaticism.

Someone suddenly cried out, "This is the Divine Hall’s trial—pass it, and you can inherit the Ancient God’s power!"

With that, a dozen Mahayana leaped in, eyes full of fervor, heedless of charred flesh, seemingly ready to sacrifice all for power.

Meanwhile, the clanging that echoed across the heavens abruptly halted.

Inside the Divine Hall, a ten-meter-long Crystal Stone Divine Fire Cannon finally formed completely, the silver light of the Yin Yang True Fire whirling and compressing within, exuding a heart-stopping aura.

"Dream on!"

Zhang Kui’s expression turned vicious as he roared, activating the Divine Fire Cannon instantly.

Boom!

A silver beam as thick as a barrel erupted forth, shattering the temple’s crystalline door, the silver light shooting straight out.

Those witnessing from the outskirts of the Holy Mountain, including Elder Kamo, saw the daunting silver pillar pouring forth.

Those enchanted and charging inside, before they could be sacrificed by the temple, were instantly reduced to ash.

Subsequently, an authoritative voice from within the temple reverberated through the heavens.

"Approach and die, leave!"

Elder Kamo’s expression changed drastically, "Retreat, quickly retreat!"

Silhouettes instantly retreated dozens of miles, watching the Holy Mountain with suspicion, where golden and silver True Fire continued to entwine.

"What happened?"

"It wasn’t Mogul inside. Who is it?"

"..."

"Silence!"

Elder Kamo stared ahead, where the millennium-old permafrost layer had been blasted into a deep abyss by the silver beam.

"The temple’s fortune has been claimed..."

Elder Kamo’s face flickered with uncertainty, a hint of maliciousness flashing in his eyes, "But the other party is at a crucial point, reluctant to be disturbed. Return, marshal the Barbarian Continent’s resources, and ensure the Divine Hall’s legacy remains!"

Yet just then, a figure came flying from afar, shouting frantically and urgently: "The Sea Race suffered a great defeat fighting the You Dynasty, chaos troops are invading the territory, the You Dynasty also landed from the other side, several tribes have already been offered in blood sacrifices, elders, please return..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Go!"

Expressing shock, everyone flew away instantly, too concerned with seizing possessions.

The bustling snowy plains quieted once more, the heavy snow mist swirling in the wind-enhanced solitude.

And atop the half Holy Mountain, the once majestic golden Sun Divine Fire was gradually overshadowed and suppressed by silver.

At last, a silver flame shot skyward, its mysterious aura of chaos reigning as the king over the icy realm, imposing upon the world...
