Chapter 1883: Heavenly River Descends Immortal Mountain
Lin Feng gazed into the distance. Deep within the Heavenly River battlefield, countless broken bridges floated suspended in the void. Occasionally, from the hanging Heavenly River above, curtains of rain seemed to fall toward the lower sky. These meteor-like rain curtains descending from the heavens would trigger great battles.
"Treasures fall from the Heavenly River. Looking at that meteor rain curtain, isn't that a pile of treasures?" Lin Feng wondered inwardly. Even if there were treasures, they shouldn't be this frequent.
"Haha, this is the peculiarity of the Immortal Kingdom Trial Ground. Treasures could be anywhere throughout this vast space. And this most dangerous Heavenly River battlefield is even more so—treasure rain falls directly from the sky, triggering battles among martial artists. Of course, not all those rain curtains contain treasures. Some might be empty, and some might even drop strange objects."
Ao Xu spoke loudly. Qin Yu also nodded slightly, agreeing with Ao Xu's words: "Heavy treasures like Dao Seals would drive even Nether Emperor realm experts mad. After all, those at the Nether Emperor realm haven't necessarily comprehended the Dao. How could such things appear so easily? Of course, even if they do appear, the Heavenly River battlefield has the highest probability. Other places in the Immortal Kingdom Trial Ground are far less likely than the Heavenly River battlefield."
"Enough talk. Let's go ahead and take a look. We'll know after seizing a few." Ao Xu stepped forward first. Immediately, the people of this Water Moon Cave Heaven group began to march forward. The vast army of experts formed a powerful legion. Such a legion would naturally be safer in the Heavenly River battlefield—as the saying goes, unity brings benefit.
The broken bridges of the Heavenly River battlefield were very strange. They would abruptly cut off, then another broken bridge would appear, repeating this pattern. They were indestructible—even powerful attacks that struck them left them completely unmoved.
Many people saw Lin Feng and his legion stepping onto this broken bridge. Some immediately quickened their pace forward, while others retreated. However, there were still experts who acted as they pleased, stepping through the void beside the broken bridge as if no one else existed, exuding powerful confidence.
"Heavenly River Rain." Suddenly, a curtain of rain fell ahead. The Water Moon Cave Heaven group immediately stepped forward, as fast as thunder and lightning, each with terrifying speed.
Lin Feng also charged toward a drop of rain. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the void, catching a curtain of water in his hand. When that drop of rain landed in his hand, it became a huge water droplet that simply dissipated, leaving only a strange force that flowed and then vanished—nothing at all.
"Haha, lucky." Ao Xu laughed loudly. When his huge water droplet shattered, an ancient seal appeared, exuding an aged and archaic aura. Seeing Ao Xu's laughter, the others rolled their eyes. This fellow was bold and skilled. Others would immediately hide their gains, but he laughed heartily as if afraid others wouldn't know.
Sure enough, a figure surged toward Ao Xu like a rolling wave. This person stamped through the void, causing heaven and earth to tremble. He reached out and grabbed, and an ancient seal descended from the sky, as if to slap Ao Xu to death.
"This guy is in for it." Those who knew Ao Xu's identity muttered inwardly. Ao Xu's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light. His palm trembled through the void, and a terrifying claw appeared, tearing the palm print apart. At the same time, he stamped through the void and charged at the opponent. With a great roar, mountains and rivers howled in fury, and a blood dragon fist blasted out. It was as if a demonic dragon was roaring wildly. The man's face instantly turned pale, and brilliance bloomed in his eyes: "Demonic Dragon!"
With that, his body began to retreat, while two others on his left and right stepped forward to receive him, attacking Ao Xu together.
"Kill!" Qin Yu shouted coldly. Ao Xu was a member of his Water Moon Cave Heaven camp—how could he allow others to act recklessly? The experts of Water Moon Cave Heaven simultaneously unleashed their death power. Instantly, overwhelming death energy flooded that stretch of void, rushing into the bodies of the two on the left and right. Their faces turned ashen. A legion simultaneously using Death Law against them—the effect was terrifying to imagine. Their laws couldn't block it in time. Their life force couldn't sustain itself, and their stiff bodies fell straight toward the Yellow Spring River below.
"So terrifying." Lin Feng witnessed this large-scale Nether Realm legion's power for the first time. It was too formidable. This legion was almost entirely composed of high-rank Nether Emperor realm experts. Those from the Nether Realm were all adept at death power. For such a Nether Realm legion to kill people directly with death energy was too frightening. Earlier, their sixteen-man small legion had given Ao Xu some trouble. Now, with the formation several times stronger, killing two experts was incredibly fast.
After the two died, experts from Water Moon Cave Heaven immediately rushed out, fiercely seizing the corpses of the two. There were treasures in these corpses—how could they let them truly fall into the Yellow Spring River below?
Those who didn't seize anything were quite frustrated. But according to the agreement, whoever seized it got it. Internal disputes were forbidden, and no conflict arose. They understood clearly: if they easily broke the agreement, their legion would be nothing but a facade. Once disintegrated, they would be easily wiped out by others.
At this moment, Ao Xu had also killed his opponent. He smiled at the crowd and said, "Not bad. This Nether Realm army's combat power is passable."
"Are you the Blood Dragon of the Dragon Clan?" Qin Yu stared at Ao Xu and asked. Seeing Ao Xu's battle just now, he realized this man was actually a demonic dragon body.
"En, let's go." Ao Xu smiled and continued stepping forward. Around them, experts constantly flickered in and out of sight, some coming and some going.
"There's another powerful legion over there. They're undefeated, killing many experts." Bai Ling's gaze shifted to their right. There, a hundred-man allied force was dressed entirely in black feathered robes, imposing and fierce, their killing intent intimidating, making people dare not approach.
"They're the Black Shark Legion. They formed a temporary army here in the Heavenly River battlefield, gathering a hundred men into a formation. Their strength is terrifying—they're a baleful star force in the Heavenly River battlefield." Qin Yu spoke.
"The vast Heavenly River battlefield has countless legions. This Black Shark Legion is just one of them—nothing strange." Ao Xu said loudly. Many here understood that going solo in the Heavenly River battlefield was too dangerous, unless one had terrifying strength like Ao Xu, capable of fighting an entire legion alone.
"The Heavenly River battlefield is vast. How terrifyingly strong would someone have to be to fight their way to the other side?" Lin Feng said. Probably even Ao Xu, with the Blood Dragon's formidable strength, would find it difficult to cross the Immortal Kingdom Trial Ground alone.
Suddenly, another round of rain curtains descended from the sky. The Water Moon Cave Heaven group surged into the air one after another.
"Anyone who seizes the Heavenly River Rain Curtain dies." A neat, vast, and indifferent voice rolled out, shaking the void. The Water Moon Cave Heaven group's bodies stiffened, their movements involuntarily stopping. Then they saw the Black Shark Legion rise into the air, inhaling fiercely, collecting all the descending Heavenly River rain curtains into their possession.
"Such big talk." Ao Xu said coldly. Suddenly, a hundred pairs of eyes simultaneously fell upon Ao Xu. Even Ao Xu felt his mind tremble. This terrifying pressure threatened to suppress even his Demonic Dragon Clan's arrogance.
"Look over there." At that moment, a cry of surprise rang out. A roaring sound rolled from above. The crowd suddenly raised their eyes and saw a mountain descending from the Heavenly River. This mountain was like an immortal mountain, exuding a powerful and terrifying battle aura.
"The immortal mountain has spiritual energy. Could a Dao Seal be gestating within it?" Brilliant light suddenly bloomed in everyone's eyes. All were eager to move.
"Everyone, calm down." A explosive shout rang out. The leader of the Black Shark Legion roared. The experts of Water Moon Cave Heaven had death energy rolling and churning, all prepared for a great battle. It seemed that whoever made the first move would become the target of encirclement and would likely die immediately.
"Immortal mountain." People from afar also surged toward this area. However, those nearby only stared at the descending immortal mountain. With a thunderous explosion, the immortal mountain landed on a section of broken bridge. A powerful and terrifying battle aura emanated from it, as if it were a battle immortal mountain.
"Dao Seal. There's likely a Dao Seal sealed inside." Everyone's eyes flickered. Finally, a figure flashed through the void, fiercely charging toward that immortal mountain.
"Die." The void erupted. Thousands of death energies descended simultaneously. The man's body fell straight down, dying instantly. This immediately silenced the restless crowd. No one dared to make another move. Even the corpse of the falling man was left unattended.
"Whoever seizes the immortal mountain dies. Clear the battlefield first." The leader of the Black Shark Legion said coldly, making the space solemn and grave. A terrifying death power spread among the Black Shark Legion's ranks, as if it could erupt at any moment.
"Kill." With an explosive shout, as if they had already agreed, all the death power simultaneously surged toward the Water Moon Cave Heaven crowd. Death energy soared to the sky, nearly sweeping everything clean. Water Moon Cave Heaven was also a powerful legion, the greatest threat to the Black Shark Legion. They had to clear this obstacle first.
"Life!" Lin Feng suddenly stamped through the void. A vast Tai Chi Life-Death Halo radiated from his body, illuminating those around him. However, five or six people were still instantly erased, their bodies falling, brutally cruel.
"Endless Life!" The Tai Chi Life-Death Diagram enveloped everyone in Water Moon Cave Heaven. Instantly, life force flourished. The death power seemed to transform into life energy.
"Everyone, prepare to gather death power. I'll take the lead." Lin Feng shouted loudly. Seeing the Black Shark Legion charging at them all at once, the Tai Chi Life-Death Halo suddenly soared into the sky, spreading toward them.
"Gather death power!" Lin Feng roared. Bai Ling and the others, knowing Lin Feng's abilities, continuously transmitted death Nether power into the Tai Chi Life-Death Diagram. Then, the Life-Death Diagram spread over the Black Shark Legion's ranks, transforming into a terrifying vortex.
"Die!"
Life and death transformed in two extremes. Life energy turned into death energy, striking the Black Shark Legion members. One after another, figures fell collectively, a magnificent sight. Those watching from afar saw that the battle hadn't even begun in close combat yet was already so spectacular. Their hearts trembled with shock.
