Chapter 368: Chapter 309: Extraordinary Treasures Emerge from Heaven and Earth (2nd Update, Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Two days later at noon, south of Jingguan City, the world was shrouded in a dusky haze.

The snow had been falling for ten days, continuously accumulating outdoors to a depth of two to three feet, enough to engulf anyone stepping into it.

From atop the city walls, looking into the distance, the boundless wilds were a vast expanse of white, innumerable grasses and trees frozen to death by the snowstorm, the land desolate and lonely, as if all life had vanished.

But two hundred miles away, there was General Mountain, presenting a starkly different scene from the miles of frozen terrain. Here, fierce flames devoured the mountain, the scorching hot magma like fiery red streams spreading everywhere, burning everything.

This mountain, towering a thousand feet, was rumored to be an ancient battlefield, with only fragmented sentences recorded in local chronicles, seemingly too ancient to leave any traces. Normally, it was neither a geomantic treasure nor did it produce Spirit Grass, just an ordinary desolate mountain only occasionally visited by hunters.

However, five days ago, this place revealed a bizarre phenomenon, the ground shook, mountains collapsed, the earth cracked open, spewing magma that ravaged for miles and even erupted with a gem known as Red Fire Crystal, leading to The Overseers sealing off the area.

At this moment, General Mountain was manifesting a second phenomenon, even more immense than the first.

The entire land trembled violently, a dull roar surged from the depths of the earth like the angry roars of ancient beasts, the world shook intensely, the already battered land now featured countless cracks, like wounds torn open, out of which burst intense white steam and darting red lights.

Then abruptly, General Mountain burst into intense light, the blazing magma like a massive dragon soaring skyward, with a momentum that seemed to overturn mountains and seas, the magma red as fire, bringing with it a heat that melted everything it touched, warping the very air as it passed.

The magma rolled and roared, transforming into rivers of fire, mercilessly devouring everything around—rocks, snow, vegetation—in a brilliant fiery light, as if to destroy the world.

Simultaneously, towering black smoke rose, covering the sky and sun, spreading like dark tidal waters in all directions, completely obscuring the already dim sky, leaving the world in utter darkness.

The next second,

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed across the sky, thunder ravaging the heavens.

Snowflakes swirling in the sky, magma fierce as a mighty river, black smoke covering the sky, and wildly dancing thunder, this piece of the world had truly become an apocalyptic scene!

Along with the tearing of the heavens and the earth, rocks and magma splashed all around, and a sharp whistling sound also ensued.

Amidst the smoke-filled sky and fiery light, figures clad in Cold Light Iron Armor swiftly retreated outwards, or swung their blades, cleaving the blazing red fire stones hurtled towards them.

Among these rocks, brilliant fire-like Spirit Light also scattered everywhere.

Shouts of surprise rose.

"It’s pure Red Fire Crystal!"

Armored Soldiers, amidst the flashing cold light in the heavens and earth, split open the rocks, and one grasped the brilliant fire light coming straight towards them.

As the fire light appeared, a chunk of scarlet crystal stone, the size of a finger, emerged, small in size but with dazzling, eye-catching internal fire essence, rich and intense, tightly held in hand, felt like holding a red-hot iron, extremely hot to the touch.

But before they could rejoice, a loud and clear sound of wind, suddenly rising from General Mountain transformed into a sea of fire, echoed through the sky.

That sound, earth-shattering and penetrating, carried an awe-inspiring celestial might.

The Armored Soldiers blockading the mountain all looked towards the center of General Mountain, witnessing a shocking scene.

Only saw, a gigantic vermillion Divine Fire Bird, like a totem of heaven and earth, rising from General Mountain transformed into a sea of flames.

This bird’s whole body shone with blazing fire, its magnificent tail feathers were covered in dazzling patterns of scarlet gold, and its pair of eyes were like red gems, stunning and eye-catching.

Its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, covered distances as it turned the dark sky into a fiery red cloud; however, as this gigantic fire bird appeared, the atmosphere turned intensely hot, and at the same time, the Essence Qi in this part of the world began to stir, rapidly becoming denser with astonishing speed.

Following that, the gigantic fire bird let out another piercing screech; its wings flapped fiercely, gathering wind, fire, thunder, and lightning beneath them, then it transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the further south.

"Yu"

A sharp whistle sounded at this time.

A leading Colonel responsible for sealing off this area watched as this gigantic fire bird appeared, sensing the suddenly boiling intense Essence Qi between heaven and earth, his expression greatly shocked, then his eyes blazed with intensity, discovering that this vermillion bird was not a real demon creature.

Seeing it trying to escape, his face filled with urgency, "Form up, bring this thing down, don’t let it escape!"

As this shout echoed, a series of shouts rose, and hundreds of Sword Qi flashed in the snowstorm, shooting upwards, then converging into six huge swords almost ten zhang long, and next, six top figures leaped into the sky, displaying Divine Skills, condensing large True Qi hands, seizing the giant Cold Blade, roaring amidst the snow and wind, shot up a thousand meters into the sky, encircling from six directions, and fiercely slashing at the gigantic fire bird flying in the sky.

This belongs to a battle formation, condensing the Sword Qi of dozens into one, afterwards the leading soldier wielding the blade, capable of delivering a strike comparable to Heavenly Pass, six long blades representing the power of six Heavenly Passes.

The six Colonels launched a joint strike, the six blades each ten zhang long, at the same time, almost all striking down upon this fiery red giant bird.

However, when the long blades touched the Divine Profound Vermilion Bird, blazing in flames, within the time of a breath, the blade edges were evaporated into white steam by the crimson flames on the vermillion bird.

Then, the gigantic fire bird let out a piercing screech, its wings flapped, and a storm of flames carrying a scorching hot gust exploded violently spreading out, the six Colonels also being blasted down into the void by the heat wave.

After the storm of flames dissipated, it was seen that the Divine Fire Bird had vanished without a trace.

However, in the smoke-filled, snow-mixed sky above, a zhang-long, gorgeously flowing fire Colorful Feather, wavering unsteadily, drifted down from just-mentioned void.

The six Colonels involuntarily rushed towards where the Colorful Feather fell.

Among them, one of them reached out and grabbed the fiery, extraordinarily exquisite Colorful Feather.

It was very light to the touch, almost weightless.

Suddenly, that zhang-long fiery red Colorful Feather flashed with Spirit Light, abruptly shrunk, and transformed into a fiery red leaf about a foot in size.

This leaf shone with a rosy glow, palm-shaped, its edges triangular, smooth as jade, and thick Essence Qi emitted from it, extremely extraordinary.

"Is this a Wutong Leaf?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

The six Colonels looked at this leaf, their eyes flashing with both surprise and keenness.

"This leaf has an extraordinary origin and significant implications; it must be handed over to the Nine Colonels for decision!"

"There are quite a few sneaky informers here, the commotion here must have alarmed them, the six of us will escort it together, no mistakes allowed."

"Others, continue guarding here."

"Let’s go!"
