Mount Shu, which was sunny beforehand, became clouded with dark clouds that stretched for thousands of kilometers, obscuring the sun.
The entire Mount Shu Sword Sect felt as if they were under immense pressure. When they received the news that the Ancient Ape Demons had made an attempt at Inferno Emperor City, the entire sect was racked by an ominous feeling.
To prepare for the worst, they had sent their weaker disciples elsewhere to prevent from being affected by the battle.
When the demons actually came, everyone felt their hearts sink.
Other than the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage who was paying them a visit together, the situation was made worse by the fact that the Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King joined them too.
Even when Mount Shu had the Saintly Celestial Sword and the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation, they could remain completely safe from an attack by four Vipralopa Stage demons. In their currently weakened state, it was even less probable.
Suddenly, four crimson rays of firelight shone in the dark sky. Where the firelight shone, space became distorted.
A stair now materialized in the empty sky. When the four rays of firelight shone on it, it became ablaze. On top of it, a jade-white pool of white could be seen, which took the form of a body as big as a mountain formed from white jade. This was the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.
In his red eyes, a vicious green light shone as he stared expressionlessly at the many peaks of Mount Shu.
During the end of the Middle Ages, the sword cultivators of Mount Shu tried to steal from the Crimson Fire Bronze Mine of Xiaochizhi Mountain and they were slain by the then-Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. As a result, Ren Changmei killed the then-Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage as punishment. Afterward, Ren Changmei was killed by the Emperor of Extremity, Shenyuan.
Even then, the enmity between the two sides was not resolved. Instead, it continued from the Middle Ages to now. The Ancient Ape Demons often battled against Mount Shu Sword Sect. Both sides incurred heavy casualties, which included powerful and weak cultivators. The enmity between the two parties worsened.
The Crimson Gorilla Tribe was one of the more powerful tribes among the Ancient Ape Demons. As the enmity progressed, the relationship between the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Ancient Ape Demons worsened.
In the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s eyes, one could not see the fire of rage and hatred. All that could be seen was an icy coldness. He exuded a terrifying destructive intent.
In the other part of the sky, black fog churned and a figure more terrifying than that of the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage appeared.
Black fog churned from his humongous body without taking a concrete shape. It appeared capable of permeating everywhere under the heavens. A pair of blood-red, ape-like eyes stared at Mount Shu.
This was the current leader of the apes, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
Opposite the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the black fog suddenly disappeared and a golden light shone, pushing them away. A powerful aura could be felt.
Two clusters of golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud appeared. One cluster was tyrannical and severe, while the other was heavy and vast. The vast aura of Immemorial Celestial Dragons could be felt from them as they exerted their pressure in all four directions. All creations felt an urge to submit to them.
The golden light and the black fog occupied half the sky, but they did not clash against each other. Instead, they came together to form a world, enveloping the many peaks of Mount Shu within them and cutting it off from the outside world.
Within the two ball of golden Auspicious Clouds, one could see the outlines of two giant dragons rising and falling within them. They were clad completely in blinding golden scales that illuminated the heaven and earth. However, under the cover of the Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds, one could not see their heads nor their tails.
Everyone knew that the two dragons were the Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King, the Vipralopa Stage dragons.
As the four Vipralopa Stage demons descended onto Mount Shu, the might from their demonic aura alone caused the entire Mount Shu to quiver.
After experiencing the Mount Shu Battle and the War of the Two Worlds, the Mount Shu Sword Sect were greatly weakened. Their current abode was constructed after the last War of the Two Worlds and they had not accumulated enough sword Qi yet. Right now, as the powerful demons approached, the mountain started to crack and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
The newly-cast formation was already spinning at its maximum capacity as numerous streams of sword Qi shot into the air. However, they were like solitary canoes in a vast sea.
At this moment, a bright sword radiance shone from the peak of the Mount Shu. The deafening sound of swords could be heard.
A sword radiance, which was as bright as starlight, rose from the peak. Like a star ascending through the heavens, it soon caused many more sword stars to rise. Together, they looked like a part of the Milky Way as they then shot into the heaven.
The Tiangang Swordmaster’s tall frame stood at the top of Mount Shu. He was calm and resolute as he stared at the many demons approaching.
Saying nothing, he thrust his palm forward and the Tiangang Ancient Sword landed in his palms. He made an arc with the sword, and all Milky Way formed from the sword radiance swirled around his body. Its sword will was pointed straight at the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
While the enemies before him seemed capable of utterly destroying the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the Tiangang Swordmaster did not seem to be on the verge of retreating. A man and his sword vowed to fight to the end.
Behind him, the current leader of the Mount Shu Sword Sect, Ji Wenrui, sat cross-legged. The various leaders of the many swords of Mount Shu sat around her.
Everyone’s hands were in the forms of sword gestures as they used all their sword will to support their formation.
Without the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation and the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation, there was almost no way for them to meaningfully fight. However, Ji Wenrui and the rest continued to use their own sword will to support the formation. Then, they directed the formation to the Tiangang Swordmaster.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage looked coldly at the Tiangang Swordmaster. From one of the Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud, a voice sounded, “Make it quick.”
The moment he said that the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s huge frame lunged toward Mount Shu.
He roared and revealed his true form. The space where Mount Shu was located started to distort. Numerous layers of skies stacked on top of each other like a barrier, enclosing the mountains of Mount Shu and the Tiangang Swordmaster within.
As the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage dashed across the sky, the many layers of space started to squeeze toward the center.
It was as if an entire part of the sky had turned into a Chinese landscape painting. A powerful external force was squeezing it, causing the many sceneries within it to be distorted.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage reached out with his claw, which he then curled into a punch, and punched out toward the Tiangang Swordmaster’s head. With that punch, heaven and earth were almost inversed and the sky above Mount Shu appeared to have collapsed.
The Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King did not idle. Their huge heads emerged from the Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds as they looked regally down at the Mount Shu Sword Sect.
A gaze flashed in the Shen Dragon King’s eyes. His head suddenly retracted back into the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud as he flew backward.
The other demons did not react to his behavior.
In the skies in the distant, an elegant white lotus appeared. Powerful spiritual energy started to spread in all directions. The energy was vast and infinite.
In the center of the lotus, a regal figure sat. He wore dragon robes and had a crown on his head. It was the current emperor of the Gu Dynasty, Gu Jun.
His lower body was fused with the lotus, which emitted numerous rays of light that illuminated the heaven and earth. From the light, numerous pure-white lotus started to rise and an endless, enchanting sound could be heard. This turned the area around him into Paradise, a place where everyone wanted to be.
The Paradise he formed appeared eternally blissful. Completely unlike the mortal world, everyone yearned for it.
The white spirit light came in contact with the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud of the Shen Dragon King. The white spirit light started to come apart like waves in water, while the golden Dragon Awe Auspicious Cloud too disappeared as well.
Gu Jun sat on the Longevity Lotus Seat and he used his hands to form a spell gesture. The Longevity Lotus Seat gave off a vast amount of light, which then solidified into a huge lotus platform with 18 lotus petals. At the same time, the sky became brighter and more elegant. White lotus descended from the sky and floated in mid-air.
Countless amount of white lotus turned into a sea of flowers, trapping the Shen Dragon King within them. As the golden light around his body flashed, they were obstructed by the white lotus. The moment a single white lotus disappeared, two more took its place. They seemed infinite.
The Shen Dragon King looked up to see Gu Jun and the huge white lotus platform floating like an island in the sea of flowers.
When he tried to approach Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat, he realized that more white lotuses rose up in the sky densely. Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat disappeared in the sea of flowers as soon, they were covered by millions of white lotuses.
While this was the first time the Shen Dragon City battled against the Gu Dynasty and Gu Jun, his elders from the Antiquity Age had battled against Emperor Gu, who ruled all mankind then. He had some knowledge of the Ancient Immortality Scripture.
He knew that the spell Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat used was slightly similar to the Nirvana World Palm.
While the power of the white lotus and the Buddhist Saha Flower Power were different, they were still similar as flowers were used as an instrument of concealment. If he could not overcome the flowers, the Shen Dragon King could neither escape nor injure Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat.
“His power could not compare to Gu Changsheng from the Antiquity Age, so why do I feel that his spell was actually more powerful? Could it be that Gu Changsheng’s descendants are more powerful than him? Or is the rumor that Lin Feng had secretly assisted him true?”
While he was temporarily trapped, the Shen Dragon King was neither hasty nor in panic. He did not care about defeat or victory as his first priority was to overcome this spell. He was confident, but he had some doubts in his heart. Thinking about it carefully, he felt a chill in his heart.
The Shen Dragon King was not concerned about the situation over at Mount Shu. Without the Saintly Celestial Sword and without enough geographical advantage, the Tiangang Swordmaster would eventually succumb to the three demons.
At that moment, the Earth Dragon King looked coldly down at Mount Shu. He did not attack together with the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage or the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.
Yet, the sword radiance above Mount Shu trembled and was on the verge of collapsing. While it was able to resist the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s attack, it could no longer handle the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, who shattered it with his punch.
At that moment, both the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Earth Dragon King frowned as they looked up.
The sky right above Mount Shu suddenly opened and a strong ray of light descended.
