Chapter 2856 Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear

In the six years since he was here, this was the first time that Li Zhen had seen a beast tide of such monstrous magnitude. It covered the sky and the ground. It blasted through mountains and rivers!

This was not an ordinary beast tide. It resembled a pack of countless law powers whose collective goal was to scourge the world.

RUMBLE!

The earth shook, and the terrains collapsed one after another as terrifying law power energy approached at extreme speed.

Just as Li Zhen was about to issue a warning, Lin Xun rose from meditation. There was gravity in his eyes as he said, “Senior, quickly retreat.”

His voice still drifted around when both he and Li Zhen had teleported far away.

Looking down from high above, the two gasped. Those Desolate Law Power Beasts were simply a black storm wreaking havoc everywhere. There were tens of thousands of them, and wherever they passed, things looked like they were being rubbed to shreds, leaving nothing but devastation.

Lin Xun and Li Zhen didn’t dare to linger around. They retreated from far away in order to avoid a head-on clash. However, what surprised them was that the tide of beasts was not coming for them. Instead, they were charging wildly all the way from east to west.

Rumble!

Right beneath the blue dome were crowds of ferocious birds, and all over the earth were endless beasts. They tore the sky and trampled the land as they sped right past their noses.

“Where are they going?” Lin Xun frowned, somewhat bewildered.

In his spirit sense, this massive beast tide comprised several tens of thousands, with over ninety percent being Earth Rank beasts and only a handful of them being Heaven Rank.

Li Zhen said, “Rumor has it that before the barrier over the Earth Demon Realm opens, all the Desolate Law Power Beasts scattered in these eight demon realms will suddenly get this desire that leads them to gather into packs and head to the ‘Earth Demon Abyss.’”

Lin Xun was stunned, and he immediately recalled that the Earth Demon Realm was located in the deepest part of the Earth Demon Abyss!

Li Zhen continued, “These beasts achieve evolution by devouring and absorbing law power. The more they devour, the more powerful they grow. Meanwhile, there is an unimaginable amount of law power buried beneath the Earth Demon Abyss.

“The forming beast packs must have sensed some kind of change in the barrier of the Earth Demon Realm, that's why they are full on rushing toward the Earth Demon Abyss.

“Similar occurrences have also happened during past Immortal Dao Battles. If my guess is correct, then in the next three years, tides like this one will keep appearing.”

Lin Xun’s eyes gleamed. “But I've heard another rumor about the existence of a Law Power Beast King in the Earth Demon Abyss, that its summon is the reason why all Desolate Law Power Beasts come running.

“And after they arrive at the abyss, they will all become the Law Power Beast King’s food. It will eat them to accumulate enough law power to barge into the Earth Demon Realm, because only there can it accomplish further evolution in strength.”

After hearing this, Li Zhen nodded. “There is indeed such a statement. One thing for certain is a Law Power Beast King does exist in the Earth Demon Realm. It carries a complete ninth grade Heaven Rank law power, which makes it completely different from the rest of its kind.”

Lin Xun gazed into the distance and suddenly laughed, “Senior, there are so many Desolate Law Power Beasts in sight. We can’t just let them slip away like this.”

That huge tide of beasts was about to disappear into the horizon.

“As long as we don’t stand directly in their way, this is indeed a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.” Li Zhen was also eager to try.

“Let’s catch up.” Lin Xun took the lead and shot out.

It was also this moment that Li Zhen sensed the cultivation improvement that Lin Xun had achieved quietly in his five days of meditation!

He was now at the Nirvana Spirit advanced stage!

Although Li Zhen had been sure that Lin Xun’s breakthrough would go without a hitch, verifying with his own eyes still gave him a shock.

In just over six years, Lin Xun had steadily gone from the initial stage to the advanced stage of the Nirvana Spirit Realm! Who in history and present had ever been able to match this speed?

Rumble!

Rumble!

The distant beast tide was razing the land. The whole world trembled violently. Gradually, Lin Xun and Li Zhen caught up from the rear. Before they could do anything, however, a blue streak of light suddenly flashed at the other end and expanded in the air like a hazy drizzle.

Poof poof poof!

With a series of muffled sounds, the light blanketed more than thirty Desolate Law Power Beasts. In the blink of an eye, these beasts turned to ashes in what seemed like incineration.

Swish!

Fiercely, another blue light swept out and sprinkled down like a large net, once again burning over twenty Desolate Law Power Beasts into oblivion.

The most terrifying part was that those beasts had perceived the danger and launched counterattacks, but the first and slightest contact with the blue radiance burned them to a crisp like moths in a flame.

Lin Xun and Li Zhen’s eyes constricted at the domineering slaughter, and they quietly raised their guard.

Lin Xun also finally had a clear look at the caster of the blue light. It was a tall and slender woman. With plain garments with wide sleeves, inky hair hanging down to her waist, a fair and clean face, and an ethereal beauty of a desolate orchid...it was none other than Ji Shanhai!

At the moment, she was holding a twenty-foot long spear with a crystalline, light-blue pole. When swung, it would release a blue haze as gentle as a drizzle but filled with boundless burning power. The deaths of those beasts had been its wielder’s work.

“The Ji Clan’s Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear!” exclaimed Li Zhen.

Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear!

This was the legendary divine weapon of the Ji Clan that held the power to burn universes and purify worlds. The blacksmith who had forged it was a supreme figure who did not belong to this era, known as the ‘Emperor of Weapons.’

To craft this spear, the Emperor of Weapons had searched far and wide to collect the essences of a hundred thousand divine flames, and use them to temper a great variety of immortal metals in one furnace. In the refining process, the weapon had undergone a bizarre and taboo tribulation consisting of nine layers. Upon completion, it had outshone even masterpieces of nature.

It was said that this spear had intelligence and was impossible to be subdued. Only the one who had its approval could become its master.

Rumors had it that upon Ji Shanhai’s birth, the Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear, which had been confined in the Ji Clan, had produced a shocking chant and directly broken free. Then, it had flown to Ji Shanhai, turning into a blue strand and wrapping itself around her little finger while she was still in swaddling clothes.

It had also written a magical tale that people often talked about.

While studying the other participants before the Immortal Dao Battle, Lin Xun had read about Ji Shanhai and the Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear, and he had been quite surprised. Now that he was seeing the might of this spear in person, his emotions were stirred...because he sensed the power of time from it!

To have the respect of both Yuan Changtian and Cang Fufeng, and to be in possession of such a supreme treasure, this woman truly isn’t simple...

Lin Xun mused, recalling the unusual look in Yuan Changtian’s eyes when he had mentioned Ji Shanhai—a look of fervor and also apprehension.

He also remembered that time in the Shaman Sect when Ji Shanhai, upon appearing, had become the focal of attention in one fell swoop. All of this was enough to prove that she was no simple character.

“Wanna have a match with me?”

As Lin Xun pondered, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the far distance. At the same time, he noticed that Ji Shanhai was looking at him, her clear phoenix eyes sparkling like stars.

“How?” Lin Xun raised a brow.

Ji Shanhai pointed the blue spear at the beast tide and said, “Starting from this moment, all the way to the Earth Demon Abyss, we'll compare who hunts more Desolate Law Power Beasts regardless of grade, only in terms of quantity. If you win, I’ll let you in on a secret.”

Lin Xun’s interest was piqued. “A secret?”

“If you want to know, beat me,” Ji Shanhai concluded and instantly launched into action. A sweep of her spear filled the sky with blue light. It was like a dream, a fleeting illusion, and it was as indistinct as the scenery described in poems.

Kaboom!

In the distant beast tide, over ten Desolate Law Power Beasts went up in flames. Ji Shanhai stepped in the air, appearing slow but catching up with the beast tide in an instant. In combat, she displayed outstanding elegance and a world-class momentum!

“Then I look forward to what kind of a secret it will be.”

While Lin Xun didn’t understand Ji Shanhai’s purpose in initiating this, he admitted that it had successfully captured his interest. With a hearty laugh, he summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and strode forth.

Boom!

His cultivation that had entered Nirvana Spirit advanced stage sprang into motion, and his entire aura changed. His handsome figure steamed with billions of dao lights that were derived into a profound abyss.

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, on the other hand, was the first thing he hurled out. From afar, the treasure looked like a fast dropping ancient mountain, ruthlessly smashing onto the beast tide. A group of beasts immediately burst, and the earth underneath was blasted into a huge crater filled with their blood.

The strike had slain twenty-nine Desolate Law Power Beasts! The overbearing and gory scene made Li Zhen’s eyelids twitch. In the advanced stage of the Nirvana Spirit Realm, Lin Xun’s battle prowess was so much more heaven-defying than before.

“Nirvana Spirit advanced stage?”

On the other side, Ji Shanhai also revealed a trace of surprise, but she quickly withdrew her gaze, shook the Blue Separation World Cleansing Spear in her grip, and fiercely charged up.

Beauty like jade, might like a comet!

Caught in the swarm of beasts that was galloping like crazy, anyone would have been in fatal danger. Moreover, these Desolate Law Power Beasts would be enraged and madly fight back when under attack. Their combined power wasn't something just anyone dared face.

However, both Lin Xun and Ji Shanhai were presently unafraid of that. As the beast tide headed from east to west, they were positioned on the north and south sides, chasing after the beasts while deploying continuous strikes.

For a while, one could see patches after patches of beasts falling in the tide, either burned to ashes or smashed into paste, leaving behind a trail of blood. Li Zhen, who had been chasing behind, had developed immunity to the shock as he collected the spoils along the way.

“Hahaha, Li Zhen, when did you get put in charge of the dirty work?” rang a loud, teasing laugh before long.

Accompanying the voice was the arrival of Spirit Sect’s Pu Songzi, Tan Liuyun, and Le Youfeng. The teasing remark came from Tan Liuyun. He had gotten acquainted with Li Zhen very long ago, and their friendship had begun with a fight.

“Cut the nonsense. If your Spirit Sect doesn’t want Ji Shanhai's battle merits, we will gladly take them,” grunted Li Zhen as he moved even faster, collecting many loots that were Ji Shanhai's fruits of labor.

Tan Liuyun instantly grew anxious and snapped, “Old boy, stop at once!”
