Chapter 272: Chapter 269: Beneath the Immortal, I Am Invincible!

Five miles away from Dragon Gate Mountain, hundreds of the most powerful canons of the Great Yan Dynasty, "Daoist Skill Cannon·Thunder Sails Cannon," were lined up in a row.

On the dark bodies of the cannons, numerous runes burst forth with blinding divine light.

"All troops heed the command, activate ’Thunder Sails Cannon’! Slay the demons!

Target: Dragon Gate Mountain, rebels of the No-Life Dao, leave none!"

The command roared like thunder, resonating across the mountains, causing the massive mountains themselves to buzz as if shaken.

"Following Marshal Pei’s command!"

"Disciples request ’Thunder Sails General’ to preside over the ritual, five miles distance, target directly ahead—Dragon Gate Mountain, focus fire and commence firing!"

Accompanying this, over a hundred virtual shadows of the ’Thunder Sails General,’ each five fathoms tall, descended before the battle formation of the Divine Machine Camp.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The lines of blazing white, slightly blue-hued fire instantly crossed over the mountains, striking the summit of Dragon Gate Mountain like the axe of the Thunder God from the clouds, mercilessly smashing it.

Immediately, the sound thundered for miles, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.

The peak where the Stone Buddha Temple was located was utterly pulverized into ash by the soaring thunder light, leaving almost no ruins behind.

Meanwhile.

Beyond the imposing Mountain of Yu Dragon Gate, the large pot and the ’One-Eyed Stone Man’ that were originally hidden by the formation began to vaguely reveal themselves.

"Hahaha, One-Eyed Stone Man, I’ve found you.

Jiang Baimei, that old codger was dispatched to Xuanlong Gate, and by the time he gets here, not a single hair will be left.

Today, I, Pei Yulou, will happily claim this victory.

You, this deceitful immortal, usually hide beneath the Muddy River like a turtle in its shell, but today you dare to emerge and try to destroy the Great Yan Dragon Qi. Today, I will make you sleep for another hundred years!"

The ’One-Eyed Stone Man’ had torn the dragon qi, causing the dragon veins of the Great Yan to rain blood, and was naturally discovered right away by the accompanying scholars through ’Qi Observation Skill.’

This contingent of Daoist Soldiers, which had already been stationed near the Yu Dragon Gate by Zhou Wenrui, immediately rushed to the scene with extreme speed.

A towering middle-aged general, almost ten feet tall like a giant, stepped out from the troop formation, his aura climbing progressively, with blazing thunder crackling around him.

Besides the Divine Machine Camp behind him, from two other directions, a camp of black-armor cavalry ’Tiger Riders’ and a camp of heavy spear armored soldiers ’Dragon Martial Army’ slowly converged.

But the near ten thousand Daoist Soldiers from a total of three camps, in the presence of the fifth realm ’Martial Saint’ "Perilous Tower High as Hundred Feet" Pei Yulou, instantly became just a backdrop.

They all eagerly gazed forward at that figure cast as if in iron, showing feverish expressions.

That represented the soldiers’ absolute confidence in their own commander.

In this world of divine deceit, possessing power meant possessing a voice; the status of a warrior in the Great Yan Court was by no means low.

During battle, there would be no civil servant to interfere.

The sheer might of an individual made the supposed "strategies" hard to surpass the absolute disparity created by tangible strength.

In the army, whoever had the strongest military skill cultivation was the undisputed general!

The thirty-six camps of Great Yan Daoist Soldiers and various ’Military Leaders’ and ’Martial Saints’ were the support that allowed the dynasty to exist securely in this perilous world.

Any fool in history who dared to rule the military by literature and self-destruct the Great Wall was sent by harsh reality to be reborn.

The Emperor only needed to firmly control the Capital Camp and the Border Army at the Nine Borders to solidify his rule.

Wherever there was disorder in the Divine Land, it would be met with a thunderous strike!

It was said: "When the Capital Camp moves out, all sides submit."

It was indeed the deserved title of the strongest army under heaven.

This time, concerning his own throne, Zhou Wenrui was cautious, although the Imperial Family’s ancestral grandmother Xu Chuanyun and the Clan’s young master Marquis Wu Yi Zhou Xinglou did not move.

Instead, they were used to guard the core amid chaotic court politics.

Additionally, "The No.1 Blade under Heaven" Xie Tianke was always stationed at the most pressurized North Border.

Zhou Wenrui then dispatched the remaining two of the five ’Martial Saints’ "Perilous Tower High as Hundred Feet" Pei Yulou and "Clear Sight for Ten Thousand Miles" Jiang Baimei together.

One went to the first Dragon Gate ’Yu Dragon Gate,’ and the other to the second Dragon Gate ’Xuanlong Gate,’ to ensure faultless security.

No matter which one encountered the ’One-Eyed Stone Man,’ both were capable of executing him on the spot.

"Form up! ’Ten Thousand Enemies Skill·Thunder Drum Ley Gate Formation’!"

At the command of Pei Yulou,

Blinding thunder light suddenly exploded above the Divine Machine Camp and then fiercely struck his body.

The next moment,

Moo——!

With a thunderous bellow that could pierce metal and split stone, an enormous being bathed in thunder light suddenly appeared among the mountains.

Its form was like a bull, with cloven hooves, hornless head, greenish-gray skin, carrying wind and rain in its body, emitting a roar as loud as thunder from its mouth, its eyes brilliant as the sun and the moon.

This was a Thunder Beast combined with a human form—the Kui Niu!

Simultaneously, the military aura from the other two camps also howled along, permeating into the body of the Kui Niu, causing it to grow into a vast mountain within moments.

The realm of ’Dao General’ involves "Spirit Communication Transformation," mostly transforming into certain celestial and terrestrial spiritual beasts, mastering ’Military Skill Extreme Intent’ when fully achieved.

Killing Move: Heaven and Earth Furnace!

The realm of ’Military Leader’ awakens with "Military Dao Dharma Image," engaging the spirit domain through existing military skills, and integrates with the military aura of their own troops to form the ’Military Dao Dharma Image.’

Killing Move: Fatian Xiangdi!

’Martial Saints’ achieve "Heavenly People No Leak," unifying spirit, energy, and essence into one, blending the Dharma Image with the physical body inseparably, constantly mutating.

Able to live up to one hundred fifty years of human clan’s natural life, always maintaining peak physical and mental states.

Killing Move: All Rivers Return to the Sea, which can integrate different Daoist Soldiers’ powers, making effective use of a variety of military skills in a versatile manner.

When relying on the "Dragon Qi Prohibition," with just over ten thousand Daoist Soldiers of the three camps and activating the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill, they became invincible in the mortal world.

"Let the thunder strike!"

Boom—!

A lightning bolt split the sky, striking directly into Pei Yulou’s hands and transformed into a long spear as thick as a mountain ridge, flickering with electric light.

"Beneath the Immortals, I am unbeaten! One-Eyed Stone Man, die!"

Pei Yulou bellowed, hurling the spear from his hands.

Elsewhere.

Xu Zhenzhi’s guess was not wrong; the One-Eyed Stone Man, holding thirty-five Clear and Muddy Dragon Balls, was indeed only a step away from the second realm of a Sage’s Dharma Image.

Facing this terrifying assault from the Martial Saint, the thirty-five Dragon Balls in his hand suddenly burst forth with boundless water light, shooting into the sky.

In the air, they traced an illusory path of the Nine Curves Muddy River.

The lightning fell into the river.

Traveling through the winding river, it gradually lost its force, and though it still turned the One-Eyed Stone Man’s amber-like palm to scorched black, he barely managed to block it.

"Hahahaha..."

Transformed into a Kui Niu, Pei Yulou was unfazed, laughing heartily.

While launching one blazing thunder spear after another, he strode forward, charging towards the One-Eyed Stone Man like a burst of thunderstorms.

The One-Eyed Stone Man also revealed his Turbid River Dharma Body and leaped down from the clouds.

In an instant, two colossal figures collided with each other like mountains.

Boom!!!

The dense clouds above were blasted apart, and the fierce Qi force sheared the nearby mountaintops bald in an instant.

The sky seemed to have a huge hole torn through it, with the waters of the Heavenly River pouring down as a torrential rain.

Before touching the two monsters, it was shattered into a mist and rose again.

However.

Everyone could see that the One-Eyed Stone Man was clearly being overpowered by the ferocious and domineering Kui Niu, barely able to defend himself; his defeat was only a matter of time.

Originating from the Slaughter Science, the way of Military Skill was born for war, making light of the magical methods devised for longevity and transcendence.

The root of the One-Eyed Stone Man was indeed in the Turbid River; after exposing himself, it was not easy to escape.

But as he watched the Kui Niu laughing heartily, his gaze was only filled with glacial, chilling coldness.

"Laugh? Soon, let’s see if you can still laugh!"

Thousands of miles away at the river mouth entering the sea.

This casual strike that could easily alter the heavens and the earth in battle made Wang Yuan and his companions tremble with excitement.

"Is this the peak combat power below a Corpse Dissection Immortal? Once involved, even mages of ordinary heritage would be turned instantly to ash!"

"Not good! Look!"

Following Wang Yuan’s alert, everyone turned their gaze to a corner in the lamplight’s shadow.

When the One-Eyed Stone Man, this mischievous immortal deeply bound with the Turbid River, made his full effort.

The already intensifying floods of the spring floodgates upstream of the Turbid River surged yet again.

Towering wave after towering wave, like layers of ferocious water dragons exploding, rushing downstream, seemed determined to turn the entire world into a submerged morass!

The murky waves swept through, with "thousands of troops and ten thousands of horses" thundering past, and the entire Turbid River seemed to tremble slightly.

Even the riverbed could barely restrain the ever-growing and rising water strength.

Some houses too close to the riverbank vanished into the river in the blink of an eye.

If such ferocity was present upstream and midstream, by the time it reached the all aboveground river downstream, it might lead to the Turbid River changing its course for the sixth time!

Even such a fierce flood peak, before the complete transformation of the One-Eyed Stone Man, had only the strength of one wave.

Yet it was enough to destroy vast downstream plains; should it affect the spring planting, it was unknown how many deaths from starvation it would cause.

Wang Yuan didn’t have to speak.

Having waited for a long time in Mirror Lake and also focused on the battle, Long Shao had instantly transformed into a flood dragon and departed.

Sing—!

Along the banks of Mirror Lake, a story had always been told.

A flood dragon lived in the mirror lake surrounded by peaks, soothing water disasters, regulating rain and clouds, and was considered the local people’s guardian deity.

But apart from a statue of the Mirror Lake Goddess, no one had ever seen the true form of that flood dragon.

Until this day, as the torrential rain poured, the water of Mei Stream originating from Mirror Lake rose three levels in just a few breaths.

The first breath overcame the small mud ditch, the second breath surpassed the Iron Bull Stone, and by the third breath, it had already passed the Dragon View Cliff, turning what was once a small stream into a mighty river.

Locals faintly heard the high-pitched dragon chant from the mountains, as if battling the heavens and earth, deafening!

The next moment, Long Shao, disguised as the Little Concubine in dragon form, did not take advantage of the convenience given by Wang Yuan to directly become a dragon.

Instead, she used the "Cloud Body Wind Body" to employ the Water Escape Technique and arrived below the Dragon Gate where the terrestrial river originated.

With determined Dragon Eyes, she faced the flood peak.

Then, with her slender shoulders, she fiercely braced against the raging water dragon that surged towards her.

Only then did she turn and head toward the sea.

She aimed to take "Flood Dragon to the Sea," leveraging this miraculous rule of heaven and earth to pull along the entire water strength of the Turbid River into the sea!

All to save the countless lives on the vast plain downstream of the Turbid River!
