Chapter 490: Chapter 487 Heavenly Thunder, Earth Fire, Three Tribulations of Green Seal

Cicadas — Cicadas —

The [Golden Cicada God] sat atop the swarm of insects, its chirping sounds growing increasingly excited and shrill.

At the same time, the hard shell on its body kept emitting bursts of cracking sounds.

It was as if the cicada was about to undergo transformation, bursting forth to the heavens, even faintly emitting pale blue divine light from the gaps in its shell.

Just as the Flower Hairpin Lady had predicted,

after devouring countless "Old Evils" and compensating for the Promotion Ceremony with "Killing," the [Golden Cicada God] was finally about to take a critical step.

Although at this moment, she could faintly feel that another god at the peak of Divine Transformation in her command, the [Life Snake God], seemed to be somewhat lacking in stamina.

But since the minimum goal had been reached, it was enough to fill her with great joy.

The calm composure that she had always maintained suddenly dissipated as she hurriedly gave the order,

"Quick, continue the feast at the next main city, Stone Forest City, under the Yuexi Order, eat and drink to your heart’s content!"

However, just as the [Golden Cicada God] was about to lead the swarm out with a sudden flutter of its wings,

a thunderous voice suddenly erupted from beneath their feet, shouting out a name:

"Flower Hairpin Lady... Jiang Lan!"

The moment this name reached the ears of the group of [Poison Gods] and their insects, a [Taboo: Prohibition of Mention at the Fifth Hour] was violently triggered.

The entire tide of insects involuntarily turned collectively, charging towards this bold and audacious person who dared to break the taboo... a [Dharma Form] realm Sage.

Although the Flower Hairpin Lady could not possibly be backfired by the [Taboo] she had set herself,

the sudden hearing of her true name made her involuntarily pause.

It was this moment of hesitation.

Boom —!!!

The ground exploded with a brilliance like the sun, and a divine light as if heaven and earth were opening burst forth instantly.

En route, countless insects were obliterated by the irresistible formidable force, their bloody fluids evaporating before they could even hit the ground.

In this unadorned head-on charge, the newcomer pierced through the ferocious, bloodthirsty swarm, unstoppable like a natural disaster, and reached the Flower Hairpin Lady.

At the center of the golden light stood the [Yellow Dragon Sage], who had unfolded his [Yellow Dragon Dharma Form] and held a pair of [Lifebound Magic Treasures: Twin Halberds of Tiger and Dragon].

Locking eyes with the fiercely burning vertical pupils, she felt the bone-chilling murderous intent, sharp as a knife.

Even for someone as resolute as the Flower Hairpin Lady, her face couldn’t help but lose color for a moment.

With the scenes of the three families attacking the Dragon and Tiger Temple still fresh in her mind, how could she possibly defeat the Yellow Dragon Sage, who was a whole major realm stronger than her?

"Yellow Dragon! Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, the ones who harmed your Dragon Elephant Tao and slaughtered your son were clearly Manxiang Temple and the Yellow Heaven Righteous Dao, what has this got to do with me?

Have you lost your mind, you damned old fool?!!"

She had been happily leading her children in enjoying a delicious feast, dreaming of a bright future, when suddenly she was ambushed by a [Dharma Form] realm Sage?!

One could only imagine how aggrieved and furious the Flower Hairpin Lady felt at this moment.

She rapidly retreated, hoping to escape back to [Ming Jiu Cave Heaven] at the first opportunity.

In her bright, beautiful eyes, tears of rage were continuously rolling.

In the lightning-fast exchange of divine thoughts, the Yellow Dragon Sage was somewhat surprised by her questioning:

"Oh? You who pioneered ’Qingtian Governance’ and treated the Ailao Clan as less than ants, who could overturn clouds and rain with a mere wave of your hand.

Have you not yet grasped the principle that ’your destruction has nothing to do with you’?

You have intelligence, but your understanding of the operation of all things is still far from sufficient.

Insects! You must have the awareness of insects!"

Even when ridiculed, the Flower Hairpin Lady did not stop her retreat, having no intention of confronting such a formidable enemy head-on.

Almost grinding her silver teeth, she fiercely ordered all the poison insects to launch a suicidal attack.

At this critical juncture of life and death, she knew very well that although the family assets of the Tao Lineage could be accumulated again, her own life, once lost, would mean the end of everything.

Squeak —!

The next moment, all the poison insects within the vicinity of Langqiong’s six ranges immediately turned bloodshot and fearlessly twisted their heads to pounce towards the Yellow Dragon Sage.

Including another direction’s [Child Rejuvenation Immortal] and [Life Snake Poison]... they all disregarded everything and rushed towards this location.

The swarm went berserk!

By now, the Flower Hairpin Lady had also realized the venomous implications of the Yellow Dragon’s actions.

As long as her own [Qingtian Righteous Law Path] suffered a significant loss in strength, the recently gained combat advantage by the Sect in the southwest could likely be immediately displaced again.

She pondered whether the time bought by sacrificing a [Child Rejuvenation Immortal] would be enough for her to escape back to [Ming Jiu Cave Heaven], then find a way to break out of the deadlock later.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she hastily looked towards the direction of her home base.

In her eyes, a blazing bolt of thunder suddenly descended from the sky, striking fiercely... on Ming Jiu Mountain!

Even hundreds of miles away, it turned the Flower Hairpin Lady’s complexion deathly pale.

"My Cave Heaven!!!"

...

Obviously,

even before the Yellow Dragon Sage signaled the attack, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu, who had been scouting the vicinity for several days in advance, had already stealthily infiltrated [Ming Jiu Cave Heaven].

Despite the seventy-two Blessed Lands and thirty-six Cave Heavens being proudly famous, regarded by many Tao Lineages as indestructible sanctuaries,

none of the naturally formed Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands in the Mortal World could withstand Wang Yuan’s [Two Realms Dharma Body].

Moreover, during these short few days,

the couple, who did not forget to cultivate even in the wilderness, had completely assimilated the [Favor of Heavenly Dao] they had previously acquired, both stepping over the threshold of breaking through Green Seal.

Walking in this Cave Heaven, temporarily without its master, felt like entering a territory without an owner.
