Chapter 353: Chapter 192: The Northern Barbarian Experts Gather! The Grotto Heaven War Begins

Chen Xuan was suspicious.

"This is a bit troublesome!"

Feng Wuji’s voice grew grave. "This is the Longevity Sect’s doing. They’re nurturing an Evil God."

"Nurturing an Evil God?"

Everyone looked over, their faces filled with confusion.

They all knew that this second-ranked master was widely experienced and knowledgeable.

He had actually managed to figure it out.

"What kind of Evil God are they nurturing?"

Chu Shanhe inquired.

"If I’m not mistaken, it’s a type of Mountain God known as the Three-Phase Mountain God."

Feng Wuji continued, "The Longevity Sect’s methods differ from the orthodox ways of our Great Xia. Their Three-Phase Mountain God is divided into three bodies: the Mother of Origin, the Father of Termination, and the Child of Distortion. After each is refined individually, the three bodies will merge into one, becoming a true Evil God. Its power will then be heaven-defying, capable of reshaping the very world."

"Even the two of us couldn’t handle it?"

Chu Shanhe asked.

"Once they merge, it would be extremely difficult."

Feng Wuji shook his head. "Fortunately, they’ve only just begun. We still have a chance. We just need to crush them before the three phases can merge."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s do it now!"

Chu Shanhe rolled up his sleeves, ready for a fight.

...

Feng Wuji gave a slight smile. "Let’s not be hasty. We don’t know the situation inside yet. If we rush in recklessly and fall into a trap, we’ll be in trouble. It would be better to send someone in to scout first. Once we confirm there’s no major threat, it won’t be too late to make our move."

"Then how about you and I go scout?"

Chu Shanhe suggested.

"No, one of us has to stay outside. Otherwise, if there’s a plot inside that traps us both, the rest of our people will never be able to stop the Three-Phase Evil God,"

Feng Wuji said.

"Fine. You go in, and I’ll stay out here?"

Chu Shanhe said again.

"That works."

Feng Wuji nodded.

"How about I go take a look too?"

A voice suddenly spoke up.

Everyone present immediately turned their gazes to Chen Xuan, each with an expression of astonishment.

’What a guy!’

’Yama Chen really lives up to his name!’

’He dares to step forward at a time like this?’

...

Chen Xuan’s expression remained calm.

’Faced with such a momentous occasion, he really couldn’t hold himself back.’

’He was almost certain the place was full of Outer Saints.’

’It would be no exaggeration to say they were as common as dogs there.’

’In his eyes, this was a massive hoard of retribution points!’

’He couldn’t even imagine the benefits he’d reap after this wave.’

’As for why he didn’t want to wait and go in with everyone else later?’

’It was because there wouldn’t be enough to go around.’

’Didn’t Chu Shanhe say that Great Xia had more Outer Saints, while the Northern Wildlands had fewer...?’

’Once the fighting started, how many kills could he possibly snatch?’

’But going in early was a different story.’

’It was dangerous, yes, but the potential rewards were also unprecedentedly huge.’

’As long as he wasn’t discovered by a Dharma Realm master, he was confident he could cut a swath through them.’

’Besides, even if there was a Dharma Realm master, wasn’t Feng Wuji going with him?’

’The second-ranked master in the world was right by his side.’

’This trip was practically a sure thing!’

’The only question was, did he dare to take the bite?’

"Chen Xuan, don’t be reckless. The situation inside is unknown. With your strength, it’s not safe enough!"

Chu Shanhe’s tone was low. "If anyone’s going, it should be me."

"Alliance Leader, didn’t Elder Feng say that one of you two Dharma Realm masters must remain outside?"

Chen Xuan smiled. "Besides, I have plenty of trump cards, and with Elder Feng by my side, there won’t be any problems. Also, just in case, I suggest you call over some more Outer Saints. That way, if something goes wrong, you can just bring down your army and swarm them, right?"

"That could work."

Feng Wuji nodded immediately and turned to the group from the Grotto Heavens. "Everyone, provide some more Outer Saints. Call over your friends and relatives. It would be best if Chen Xuan and I don’t run into trouble, but if we do, you will all follow Chu Shanhe’s lead and tear this grand formation apart by force. Then you can just swarm them. It’s a bit messy, but it will guarantee victory. In any case, we absolutely cannot allow their Three-Phase Evil God to fully form! Once that thing takes shape, it will be terrifying beyond measure!"

"You got it! We’ll start making the calls!"

The group from the Grotto Heavens immediately nodded and began contacting people.

Beating up the Northern Wildlands was one thing.

But Feng Wuji asking them personally was another.

Clearly, Feng Wuji commanded far more respect than Chu Shanhe.

"Chen Xuan, are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Chu Shanhe was still a little worried.

’This kid is too unpredictable!’

"Don’t worry, Alliance Leader. I know what I’m doing."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright, then you two go in. Brother Feng, if there’s any trouble at all, send a signal immediately!"

Chu Shanhe said, looking at Feng Wuji.

"I will."

Feng Wuji nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Xuan and smiled. "Young Friend Chen, let’s go!"

"Let’s go!"

Chen Xuan broke into a grin.

SWISH!

The two of them concealed their auras and vanished in a flash.

「On the other side, in the direction of the Northern Wildlands.」

Within the thick, roiling black fog, flashes of blood-red light occasionally pierced through. The sinister energy was palpable, surging like a violent tide.

There was nothing but pitch black and crimson red, like the hall of King Yama himself.

In the deepest area, a large number of masters from the Northern Wildlands moved back and forth, bustling about some unknown task.

The ground was sunken into a massive pit, several thousand meters across.

A thick darkness flowed endlessly from within, spreading outward like spilled ink...

This was the passage the Northern Wildlands had previously controlled.

After the masters of the Northern Wildlands returned from the depths of the darkness, they used special means to forcibly expand this passage, drawing out the darkness from within and refining it with a Secret Technique...

Within this endless darkness stood a massive altar.

The altar pulsed with a blood-red light, flickering ominously, its aura sinister...

At a glance, it seemed as though some bizarre chemical reaction was taking place inside the entire pit.

It exuded a breathtakingly unsettling aura.

Not far from the giant pit, a tall and burly figure, about two meters in height, stood in the shadows, quietly watching everything.

The flickering crimson light cast his face in a gloomy shadow...

"Tuoba Sect Master, what is the situation?"

A voice suddenly came from not far behind him.

It pulled the burly figure from his thoughts.

"Ba Long, Ba She, you’re here."

The Longevity Sect’s Leader, Tuoba Hong, spoke in a cold tone as he turned his head. "How much of Su Lun’s ashes have you found?"

...
