Pure Yang!

Chapter 451 The Invincible Overlord! Black Serpent and White Crane

I have always been trapped in the mortal world with this body, but today, after all my tribulations, I open the gates of heaven.

The massive Tongluo Mountain trembled, and cracks spread and widened along the mountain range and through the valleys. Birds took flight in fright, beasts ran about, and boulders tumbled down, kicking up plumes of dust that shot into the sky.

In the sky, thick clouds rolled in, obscuring the bright moon. Bolts of lightning trembled, dancing wildly like serpents, scattering crimson-purple flashes that illuminated the heavens and earth.

"When Heaven unleashes its killing intent, the world will be turned upside down!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically. Faced with such a change, they felt like they were adrift in a storm, and that they were nothing more than a small boat on a vast ocean.

At this time, the balance of Yin and Yang in the universe is disrupted, the mountains and rivers are terrified, and the heavens are enraged, which is why this strange phenomenon occurs.

At this moment, everyone vaguely understood that a dramatic change had taken place in Tongluo Mountain, and an unpredictable and extremely terrifying change was quietly taking place.

"Kid, what have you done?"

Yuan Zhuliu's expression changed slightly as he looked at Zhang Fan. As a Celestial Master, a strong sense of unease began to grow and spread in his heart.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the earth trembled violently.

In that dark and deep underground cave, the dragon vein of Tongluo Mountain on the dome slowly changed shape, with silvery white energy surging from the ground, descending from the top, merging up and down, and merging into the giant serpent statue.

The intertwining of dragons and snakes is a secret of heaven and man.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the chains on the giant serpent statue shattered one by one, and the petrification on its surface began to peel off at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The giant serpent statue came to life, with the rhythm of flesh and blood emanating from beneath its stone shell.

Just then, He slowly opened His eyes. Those deep and terrifying eyes shone like the sun and moon in the dim underground, radiating a mysterious light that soared into the sky.

"The century-long tribulation is over, and we've finally emerged."

Suddenly, the terrifying behemoth roared and leaped up, breaking through the dark and deep underground cavern.

A section of the mountain collapsed, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

In Tongluo Mountain, everyone's expression changed drastically as they sensed an unusual aura.

At that moment, they felt as if the mountain beneath their feet had come alive.

Looking up, a colossal creature burst forth from the ground, appearing between heaven and earth.

"Then...what is that?"

Everyone's eyes trembled as they looked into the distance, their faces filled with disbelief.

Under the vast, dark sky, a giant serpent coiled in the mountains, its dark scales gleaming with a metallic sheen. Stretching nearly twenty meters from north to south, bolts of lightning struck its body, yet failed to harm it in the slightest. Instead, they polished its terrifying form, making it even more radiant.

It is truly unimaginable that nature could give birth to such a terrifying serpent.

That body seemed to have seized the essence of Tongluo Mountain and stolen the creation of Yin and Yang in the world.

He stands on this mountain, like the spirit and soul of this mountain.

"Hahaha, this sky, this earth, these mountains, this river, this wind, this mortal world..."

"How delightful!"

The terrifying black serpent, bathed in thunder, felt the heavens and earth, the mountains and rivers, and the rhythm of the wind, finding everything before it so vivid and beautiful.

The wild laughter shook the earth, and its terrifying power pressed down on the entire Tongluo Mountain.

At that moment, everyone's thoughts seemed to freeze, stunned by the scene before them, speechless.

"Is that giant serpent the master of this mountain?!"

At this moment, the same thought arose in everyone's minds, naturally and without any need for words.

"The demon king of Tongluo Mountain!?"

Yuan Zhuliu's attention completely shifted from Zhang Fan to the black serpent. His expression was solemn, and even as a Celestial Master, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

The former master of Tongluo Mountain, the most blessed land, should have been dead by now, killed by the world's number one expert.

But who could have imagined that, after a century, this former overlord would actually return!

"Finally caught up."

Just then, Zhang Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves instantly relaxing.

"you know?"

Zhang Fan seemed to sense something and looked at Zhang Wuming.

"I know a little bit." Zhang Wuming grinned and said, "You helped him escape, that's an immense favor."

"This is what you call the foundation for survival!?"

A sudden realization dawned on Zhang Fan. No wonder Zhang Wuming wanted to follow him when he came to Tongluo Mountain. From his words, it was clear that he already knew that the demon king of Tongluo Mountain was not dead, but was suppressed underground.

"This one's in the bag!" Zhang Wuming laughed.

Rumble…

"Sanqing Mountain!?"

Just then, the black serpent turned its massive body, its eyes, as bright as the sun and moon, looking at Yuan Zhuliu.

"I can't believe it, you demon king of Tongluo Mountain, you're still alive?" Yuan Zhuliu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Zhang Fan and Zhang Wuming changed their expressions.

The Demon King of Tongluo Mountain was a peerless overlord who had already made a name for himself a hundred years ago, a powerful figure of the same era as the Three Corpse Taoist and Chu Chaoran.

Among all the demons and monsters in the world, those who can rival him in terms of age and seniority are probably only a very few, such as the white crane at Baihe Temple and the old tortoise at Zhenwu Mountain.

The fact that he is still alive has a profound impact on the entire Xijiang region and even the overall landscape of the world.

"Celestial Master? Sanqing Mountain does have a successor, with another Celestial Master. I've never seen you before," the black serpent suddenly said, flicking its tongue.

"My name is Yuan Zhuliu."

Yuan Zhuliu's expression tightened, and he said in a deep voice.

When the demon king of Tongluo Mountain was renowned throughout the world, he had just become a disciple of Sanqing Mountain and was just a little kid.

In front of such an old monster, ordinary Taoist masters really can't compete with seniority or put on airs.

“Yuan Zhuliu…I remember you…” the black snake suddenly said.

"Back then, you came to Tongluo Mountain with Qingfeng Daoist. When you saw my true form, you were so scared that you peed your pants..."

Master Qingfeng was the previous head of the Sanqing Mountain sect and Yuan Zhuliu's mentor. He died eighty years ago on Longhu Mountain, during the great calamity of the Daoist sect.

The heavy voice, like thunder, echoed through the mountains, and Yuan Zhuliu's face grew increasingly grim.

Zhang Fan, Zhang Wuming, Zhuang Yumin, and the others subconsciously glanced at Yuan Zhuliu.

"A snotty-nosed thing can actually cultivate into a Celestial Master? Truly, the Great Dao is impartial." The black serpent flicked its tongue, a mocking glint appearing in its deep eyes.

"Demon King!"

Yuan Zhuliu's expression darkened, interrupting the black snake's teasing.

At this moment, he no longer had the arrogant feeling and imposing manner he had just displayed. In front of this former overlord, he could only put away his airs as a celestial master and be patient.

"Get lost, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to see blood."

The black serpent glanced sideways, then roared to the sky, "Everyone, get out of Tongluo Mountain..."

"This mountain has an owner; whoever stays will die!"

A shout reverberated through the mountains and fields.

You must know that this is the Dan Yuan Dharma Assembly, and experts from various mountains and sects are all in the mountains. At this moment, looking at the giant snake coiled in the mountains and listening to its thunderous roar, everyone is terrified.

"it is good!"

Yuan Zhuliu's expression changed repeatedly, but he ultimately chose to compromise.

He did not want a direct conflict with this former overlord; he needed to return to Sanqing Mountain to discuss how to deal with him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Zhuliu turned slightly, his sharp gaze landing on Zhang Fan.

This tiny gesture instantly provoked the black serpent's displeasure.

"I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?" "Demon Lord, this brat killed my successor from Sanqing Mountain." Yuan Zhuliu said patiently.

"So what if he's killed? A successor who can be killed so easily is no good successor. If the Sanqing Mountain sect falls into the hands of such a person, I'm afraid the incense will be extinguished right before our eyes."

"Now that the man is dead, you should thank this young man; you wouldn't be too much to kowtow to him," the black serpent chuckled.

"So it really was this kid who helped you escape your predicament just now!?"

Yuan Zhuliu's expression turned cold. He had some doubts just now, but Yao Kui's attitude now made him completely certain.

"Little brat, what is your background? How did you manage to help this former demon king of Tongluo Mountain escape his calamity?" Yuan Zhuliu said coldly.

As a dignified Celestial Master, he could not simply back down. The attitude of the demon chief of Tongluo Mountain made him completely lose patience.

His gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Zhang Fan, his murderous intent rising undisguised.

"Senior, try touching me now," Zhang Fan said with a light laugh.

Rumble…

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura soared into the sky, like mountains and rivers collapsing, and pressed down on Zhang Fan.

"You still dare to bare your teeth?"

Suddenly, the black serpent's gaze turned icy, and in an instant, the enormous creature vanished from everyone's sight.

The giant tail swept across, and the terrifying sonic boom, like a thunderclap, echoed in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhuliu turned into a blur and was sent flying.

His body twisted and contorted, breaking through layer after layer of air.

Such power would pulverize even a highly skilled cultivator who has perfected their life cultivation, causing them to perish and their cultivation to vanish.

boom……

Finally, Yuan Zhuliu flew two or three kilometers before crashing into the mountain, crushing a section of cliff face. The billowing dust mixed with the mountain wind and soared into the sky.

hum...

Almost at the same moment, a terrifying figure leaped out of the smoke and dust.

Yuan Zhuliu's robes were torn, yet his aged but sturdy body bore no trace of injury.

The terror of the Celestial Master realm was revealed at this moment.

Rumble…

Yuan Zhuliu remained indifferent. With a wave of his hand, half of the Cangshan Mountain trembled, the wind and clouds changed color, and the surrounding air reversed its flow, surging and converging towards his body. The terrifying aura seemed to split the sky in two.

"Sitting alone in an empty mountain!?"

Zhang Wuming looked up, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Sitting in an empty mountain is a secret of Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist technique of the Celestial Masters. Once mastered, the place where one stands will be empty and desolate, untouched by dust, capable of annihilating all life.

Flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts... erase everything, leaving only an empty mountain.

"joke."

The black serpent chuckled, its gaze sharpening into a single line as it locked onto Yuan Zhuliu.

An invisible force surged in from all directions, and the space where Yuan Zhuliu stood seemed to be distorted. The air that was rushing back suddenly shattered, turbulent currents surged into the sky, and wild thunder roared and raged in the mountains.

"The Celestial Master's methods!"

As everyone watched, they saw them as seedlings teetering on the brink of collapse under a thunderous storm.

Rumble…

Without a moment's pause, bolts of lightning, dark in color, rained down, relentlessly bombarding Yuan Zhuliu.

puff...

The black lightning, concealing some mysterious power, finally shattered Yuan Zhuliu's Celestial Master Body. Cracks appeared on his aged body, and his expression changed drastically as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"As expected of the demon king of Tongluo Mountain."

Yuan Zhuliu gritted his teeth, and suddenly, his aged body trembled violently, transmitting a terrifying frequency.

The heavens and earth seemed to resonate with each other, and even Zhang Fan in his current state could not grasp the frequency of that resonance.

Ripples spread out in layers, stirring like flowing water.

Rumble…

The falling black lightning disintegrated and vanished the moment it touched the water-like ripples.

"The Primordial Chaos Style!?" The black serpent's eyes lit up, and it couldn't help but praise, "It seems you have received the true teachings of [Old Daoist Qingfeng]."

“That’s enough to deal with you,” Yuan Zhuliu said coldly.

"Young man, you don't know your own limitations!"

Suddenly, the black serpent slowly opened its blood-red maw, and from within the hazy mist, a figure slowly emerged from its mouth.

It was a man, over 1.8 meters tall, with long, flowing hair and a bare upper body that revealed his muscular physique.

"That is……"

A multitude of gazes converged upon him, sensing a primal, wild, domineering, and demonic aura emanating from him.

“The demon king of Tongluo Mountain!” Zhang Fan murmured.

A demon is a spirit or monster that has taken over a human body.

That man was the human form of the demon king of Tongluo Mountain, whose primordial spirit was most compatible with his, and who had been sealed away for a thousand years along with his physical body.

"Today, I'll teach you a thing or two. There are different levels of Taoist masters."

Suddenly, the man's slightly magnetic voice rang in my ears.

Yuan Zhuliu's expression changed drastically. He looked up abruptly and saw those deep, dark eyes.

The man completely ignored his [Primordial Chaos Flow], freely passing through the strange, surging ripples, and a broad palm pierced directly through his chest.

Yuan Zhuliu's trembling eyes revealed deep shock. After being sealed for nearly a hundred years, this former overlord's strength had not only not declined in the slightest, but seemed to be even stronger than before. He had just escaped the tribulation and already possessed such ferocity, completely ignoring his laws and principles!

"Hold the grass..."

This scene was astonishing, shocking everyone.

The Celestial Master's blood stained the Cangshan Mountains.

That man was so domineering that he had no limits. The moment he appeared in the world, he pierced through a Celestial Master with an absolutely crushing force!

"Such an existence... it's truly unimaginable how the Three Corpse Daoist managed to suppress him back then," Zhang Fan sighed inwardly.

Roar……

Suddenly, Yuan Zhuliu let out a long howl, and blood surged around his body, burning fiercely like real fire, engulfing him like a meteorite falling and crashing into the depths of Tongluo Mountain.

"senior!"

Zhang Fan walked over, looked in the direction where Yuan Zhuliu had fallen, raised an eyebrow, and revealed a strange expression.

He remembered that direction; it was the place where the Xuanwu of Tongluo Mountain rejected corpses, a place of great misfortune and auspicious formation. The Three Corpse Taoist had once faced a life-or-death tribulation there.

The demon king of Tongluo Mountain remained silent, gazing in that direction with a unique light reflected in his deep eyes, as if waiting for something.

"Old friend, I never imagined that after a hundred years, you would be able to break through the calamity and be reborn. It is truly a cause for celebration."

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from that ominous place, echoing through the heavens and earth.

In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a bright moon hanging high in the sky, with stars scattered across the heavens.

"You scraggly bird, you've crossed the line," the demon chief of Tongluo Mountain said coldly, looking at the area.

hum...

Just then, a crane's cry resounded through the mountains, echoing between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, a huge white crane soared into the sky from the depths of Tongluo Mountain and appeared in everyone's sight.

"Long time no see, Ning Xie!"

The white crane soared through the air, the pale moon hanging in the sky, and looked at the demon king of Tongluo Mountain, calling out that long-lost name.
