46: Chapter 32 Five Colored Smoke and Mist (1) 46: Chapter 32 Five Colored Smoke and Mist (1) Editor: Henyee Translations Tonight, the mountain was shrouded in unusually thick darkness, as if covered by a massive black curtain.

Then, all of a sudden, five-colored mist and radiance surged from deep within the mountains, tearing through the night like lightning and illuminating the entire landscape.

The towering peaks were dyed in resplendent hues, and even the snow-laden branches glowed with brilliance.

This scene shocked everyone.

In the mountain range ahead, light mist billowed, radiant and dazzling.

In this age without sunlight, such splendor stirred longing in every heart.

The entire mountain erupted into chaos.

Anyone remotely near the source of the five-colored radiance was desperate to grow wings of thunder and fly over instantly, hoping to seize the most mysterious treasure hidden within the mountain range.

“So soon?

It’s already ripened!”

“Ah—!”

Every group went mad, rushing toward the source.

Even halfway there, screams echoed.

Someone had already started attacking in the shadows.

Throughout the vast mountain range, notable beasts roared, strange birds took flight, and large numbers of mutated creatures also began to frenzy, all heading toward the heart of the glowing mist.

Deep in the mountain, the five-colored smoke and light lingered endlessly, stretching into the dark sky.

The dazzling glow illuminated the world in all directions.

People understood that all these omens were just surface signs.

The real cause was the maturing of a rare treasure within a special node.

It was this treasure that emitted the white mist and multicolored radiance, creating this mystical phenomenon.

Wei Mo, standing ten meters tall, stood atop a cliff, gazing into the radiant mist in the distance.

The dark red armor on his body clinked like the scales of a flood dragon, glowing with red light.

He gathered strength beneath his feet and, with a boom, smashed the cliff beneath him, sending boulders tumbling and shaking the earth with tremendous force.

Gripping a black spear, he leapt down, charging toward the heart of the mountain.

“Brother Wei, you’d best stay behind.” A figure in white appeared.

It was the City Lord of Chixia City, Lingxu, blocking his path.

“Lingxu, you dare stop me?” Wei Mo growled, gripping the black spear as he stomped across the forest.

In a blink, he vanished from his original spot and reappeared mid-attack.

His spear was like a bolt of black lightning, ripping through a large swath of forest, headed straight for Lingxu.

Elsewhere, a three-foot-long tabby cat with an ashen-red longsword strapped to its back was dashing through the forest.

Agile and silent, it slipped past the roaming creatures, heading directly for the glowing heart of the five-colored mist.

“Halt!” A loud shout came as a mutated creature streaked toward the cat like lightning, intent on competing for the priceless treasure.

A mantis beast appeared, arriving like a gale.

Every branch in its path was severed.

It barred the tabby cat’s way with overwhelming momentum.

The mantis beast was pure white, about as tall as a grown man, covered in snowy fur.

Its scythe-like forearms looked like two serrated white blades, wrapped in faint glowing mist.

The tabby cat didn’t waste time with words.

It drew its crimson longsword, and the forest was bathed in a glow like the evening sun.

The sword aura blazed up into the night sky.

At the same time, blades of light slashed through the darkness like lightning weaving through the deep woods.

Giant trees toppled and exploded under the force of invisible attacks.

…

The usually calm and composed Old Weasel, known for leisurely riding a donkey, had abandoned his mount today.

Sticking close to the treetops, he sped forward like a streak of white lightning.

“Hmm?” He suddenly halted, standing atop a towering larch tree.

His “left hand” was clasped behind his back, while his “right hand” was wrapped in prayer beads.

He looked up at the sky.

“That treasure in the node is not meant for you.” A cold voice echoed from the night fog in the sky.

“Seems like besides the people from Chixia City, others are lurking in secret too,” Old Weasel said, speaking unusually much for once.

“You’re not going any further!” came a voice from the dark clouds.

Clearly, someone was trying to stall the enigmatic Old Weasel to buy time for someone else.

Old Weasel said, “Have you considered that if you stop me, your allies may be intercepted by others as well?

You’re not the only ones spying from the shadows.

Let me through, I’ll stir the waters for everyone.”

“No chance.

I’ve been wanting to test your strength anyway.

You allied with Chixia City and injured my comrade, hmph!” From the cloud came a shadowy figure.

Wings unfurled, and a massive claw, covered in scales, reached out toward Old Weasel from the sky, like a dragon’s claw emerging from the clouds.

Old Weasel raised his prayer-bead-wrapped right hand and struck upward.

Boom!

A thunderclap rang out.

A blinding light twisted through the night like terrifying lightning, deafening all around.

The cloud cover in the sky was blasted apart, revealing a massive beast with silver wings, which was sent reeling backward by the impact, stirring up a ferocious gust of wind.

The larch tree beneath Old Weasel’s feet snapped in half, and the surrounding forest fell and exploded in a storm of shattered trees.

Old Weasel landed lightly on a mountain rock.

In the distance, in another part of the forest, a scene unfolded like the moon rising from the sea.

A Moon Worm appeared, squaring off against a woman in feathered robes standing atop a large azure bird, her figure cloaked in a shimmering glow.

Then, the two clashed.

…

“If only I were in my prime, standing at my peak, I’d charge into the depths of the mountains and fight for the rare treasures birthed by the sacred mountain.

To stand here watching, unable even to get close…

It’s heartbreaking!” In the outer regions of the forest, someone cried out, grieved, and was frustrated.

“You’re one of the weaker ones in our group right now.

Wake up.

At this rate, you might not be there when you reach your prime.”

Countless people burned with envy in the dense woods, but once the impulse passed, they all gradually stopped.

Their strength wasn’t enough to enter the deeper regions and contend with the old monsters for fortune.

That would be pure suicide.
