Chapter 335: Chapter 300: Helpless, Nowhere to be Found

Back in the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land, the Puppet Body’s Flesh Awakening wasn’t capable of such an attack.

Otherwise, it would have been more than enough to give Mo Yunzhen a hard time.

The Puppet Body’s Flesh Awakening was much more powerful this time because the Mysterious Stele’s control had grown stronger, allowing it to command the meat mountain in its Flesh Awakening state to perform a wider range of attacks.

High in the sky, the Venerable Red Fox could already see the Divine Wood Sect’s sect-protecting formation rise.

But before he could even descend, a colossal red pillar of light shattered the formation with a thunderous boom.

"What is that thing?"

The moment the formation broke, the Venerable Red Fox’s eyes fell upon a gigantic meat mountain on East Divine Mountain, surrounded by a group of Divine Wood Sect elders.

In its Flesh Awakening state, the meat mountain would continuously expand until its flesh and blood collapsed.

The meat mountain before him was already thirty to forty meters tall, with flesh and blood constantly oozing from its entire body.

Hundreds of fleshy tentacles flailed wildly all around it.

Even the well-traveled Venerable Red Fox had never witnessed such a bizarre sight.

The Venerable Red Fox slowly descended to hover above the Divine Wood Sect, his gaze fixed on the ever-expanding meat mountain below.

’He Daozhen isn’t here?’

He Daozhen was also on the verge of ascension, so the Venerable Red Fox hadn’t descended directly out of caution.

But with this meat monster wreaking such havoc on East Divine Mountain and no sign of He Daozhen, it was clear he was away on some business.

The Venerable Red Fox hesitated no longer. With a flicker in his eyes, he landed beside Ge Fangrong.

"Elder Ge, do you have any idea what this monster is or where it came from?"

The Venerable Red Fox asked without preamble.

"Venerable Red Fox?"

"Venerable, I don’t know what this monster is either, but I implore you to act and destroy it!"

Ge Fangrong was taken aback by the Venerable Red Fox’s appearance, and his words were a desperate plea.

「In the distance.」

Jiang Zuo was still focused on rushing along his path, but he had seen the Venerable Red Fox descend.

Seeing him standing with Ge Fangrong, Jiang Zuo immediately had the meat mountain reveal another cavernous, bloody maw.

BOOM!

Another immense, blood-red pillar of light blasted toward Ge Fangrong and the Venerable Red Fox.

The Venerable Red Fox’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t try to face it head-on. Instead, he grabbed Ge Fangrong and a few other nearby Divine Wood Sect disciples and dodged to the side.

BOOM!

The immense, blood-red pillar of light slammed into the ground. Even though the earth of East Divine Mountain was exceptionally sturdy, a massive fissure was blasted open.

"Thank you for saving us, Venerable!"

The color drained from the faces of Ge Fangrong and the others.

If that blood-red pillar of light had struck them, they would have been instantly annihilated.

"Helping you is a small matter. However, I came here to ask for the help of your sect’s Young Friend Gu Changqing with something. Do you know where he is?"

The Venerable Red Fox nodded, stating his purpose without rushing to act.

’Before, there was a slight chance that what I was looking for was in He Daozhen’s possession.’

’But now that he’s absent from the Divine Wood Sect, if this Gu Changqing is present, then the person I’m looking for has to be him.’

’Once I find Gu Changqing, I’ll just take him away. The rest can be dealt with later.’

"Gu Changqing... Venerable, there’s something you don’t know. This monster... it was summoned by Gu Changqing."

"Just a moment ago, he fell into the monster’s stomach."

Ge Fangrong said with a bitter smile.

"Are you certain?"

"My fellow sect members all saw it with their own eyes. If I’ve spoken half a word of falsehood, I will submit to any punishment you see fit, Venerable!"

Ge Fangrong said with assurance.

Hearing this, the Venerable Red Fox’s gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at the gigantic meat mountain.

"In that case, I will first help you destroy this monster!"

"Divine Technique! Destructive Red Lotus!"

The Venerable Red Fox wasted no more words. With a light flick of his finger, a fiery red flame appeared out of thin air.

In the blink of an eye, this red flame transformed into a slowly spinning red lotus.

The red lotus teleported above the meat mountain and began to descend upon it from directly overhead.

Jiang Zuo tried to make the meat mountain attack, but under the influence of the red lotus, while not completely immobilized, its movements became extremely slow.

The Destructive Red Lotus spun as it fell, growing larger and larger as it descended.

Finally, like a great mountain, the Destructive Red Lotus pressed down heavily upon the meat mountain.

The moment the Destructive Red Lotus made contact, the wildly expanding flesh of the meat mountain was instantly obliterated.

’So powerful!’

’A Third Realm Cultivator is actually this terrifying!’

Witnessing this firsthand, Jiang Zuo was horrified. He felt a profound sense of validation for luring He Daozhen away before making his move.

He recalled how, back in the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land, the Cyan Ape Demon Venerable—a mid-stage sixth-rank Demon Venerable—and its Demon Fire had been completely helpless against the meat mountain in its Flesh Awakening state.

Yet now, before the Venerable Red Fox, it couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

The Destructive Red Lotus bore down relentlessly, and the meat mountain was being rapidly annihilated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Venerable Red Fox stared intently at the Destructive Red Lotus and the meat mountain.

He wanted to capture him alive. As long as Gu Changqing revealed himself, he would stop.

「Meanwhile.」

Seeing that the meat mountain was almost completely destroyed, Jiang Zuo had a thought. The Dao Talisman vanished from within the meat mountain and reappeared in his hand.

Deprived of the Dao Talisman, the meat mountain instantly collapsed.

The remaining half-mountain of flesh immediately gave way, sloughing off in all directions like rivers of fresh blood.

"Where’s Gu Changqing? He’s not inside!"

The Venerable Red Fox had been staring intently the entire time. A sweep of his Divine Sense confirmed that there was no one inside the collapsed meat mountain.

His gaze, sharp as lightning, shot toward Ge Fangrong.

"Impossible! We saw him fall into that meat monster with our own eyes!"

Ge Fangrong exclaimed anxiously.

’Could it be?’

With a thought, the Venerable Red Fox made a grasping motion with his large hand, clearing away all the flesh and blood from the ground.
