Chapter 1635
The Sinner
Immediately afterwards, the nearly one thousand fifth-order and above formation-breaking techniques unleashed astonishing power, rapidly absorbing the formation power contained within the formations of the Rocky Mountain Range in an extremely domineering manner.
They then harnessed this power for their own purposes, creating a series of incredibly powerful explosions.
Boom! ! !
Countless roars resounded in succession.
A series of incredibly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations immediately raged, blasting the surrounding area into chaos.
Even many of the formations in the rocky mountain range were destroyed one after another.
Only a handful of mid-to-high-grade fifth-order formations were able to barely hold on.
However, their situation was not good either; the thick defensive light barrier they erected was riddled with cracks, and the flickering ghostly light was extremely dim.
"As expected, it's still more comfortable to deal with those solid formations using those special formation-breaking spiritual objects."
"Fellow Daoists, let's seize this opportunity to break through the remaining formations of the Rocky Mountain Range and storm into the Rocky Mountain Range."
The Rock Demon Lord and the Thunder Demon Lord and other Nascent Soul level evil spirits from the Five Great Evil Ghosts' side, upon seeing the previous scene, were filled with excitement and immediately called out.
Then, they spared no effort in attacking the remaining formations of the small rocky mountain range with all sorts of methods.
However, those formations were in a precarious situation.
They were immediately shaken violently by the blast, as if they would be blown away in the next second.
Even so, they were soon blasted apart.
"kill!"
Those who make contributions will be greatly rewarded.
The powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Rock Demon Lord, took the lead and immediately led countless evil spirits, surging towards the Rock Mountain Range like a tidal wave.
“Fellow Daoist Tianlei, the other evil spirits of the Shadow Leopard Clan are of average strength and pose no threat, but this Nascent Soul Perfected Shadow Leopard King is extremely powerful and has extraordinary potential.”
"If he manages to escape, we'll be in endless trouble."
"Why don't we take this opportunity to strike together and kill him first?"
Rock Ghost Lord privately transmitted his voice to the five Nascent Soul stage experts, including Thunder Ghost Lord, on the side of the five superior evil ghosts.
"Fellow Daoist is right."
"..."
Powerful figures like the Heavenly Thunder Demon Lord particularly agreed with this.
With their opinions aligned, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides charged towards the core of the Rocky Mountain Range, a fifth-tier top-grade ghost land.
According to their investigation, the Shadow Leopard King, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, was among them.
In addition, the remaining half of the Nascent Soul stage of the Rock Demon Clan and the Five Superior Demons, along with a large number of ordinary demons, have clashed with a large number of Ghost Leopards in the Rock Mountain Range.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Various methods are constantly being employed.
Moreover, even though the Rock Demon Clan lost most of its powerful members, they still held an extraordinary advantage and managed to suppress the large number of Shadow Demon Leopards of the Shadow Demon Leopard Clan.
They could even kill some ghost leopards at any moment.
This matter also greatly excited them.
"To achieve great deeds and establish a career, today is the day. No one can stop me from killing Ghost Leopard and making a name for myself."
"..."
The large numbers of ordinary demons from both sides of the Rock Demon Clan were extremely excited and fought more and more fiercely.
However, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy among the army of the Shadow Leopard Clan, which reflected the light.
"Judging from this situation, we are afraid we have already stepped into a dangerous situation."
"Now it all depends on whether our king can turn the tide of the war."
"..."
Among the army of the Shadow Leopard Clan, countless ordinary ghost leopards were terrified as they watched their familiar kin die one after another. They prayed incessantly, their eyes occasionally glancing at the small rocky hill that was being besieged by many powerful figures.
……
now.
At the summit of that rocky hill, inside a cave, a leopard covered in black fur slowly emerged.
His eyes were extremely cold, his aura was extraordinary, and his cultivation level was as high as the perfect Nascent Soul stage.
And it was the Shadow Leopard King of the Shadow Leopard Clan, who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
"I didn't expect this moment to come so soon."
"Fortunately, I have improved in recent decades, which gives me a chance to turn the tide."
The Shadow Leopard King frowned slightly as it surveyed the situation at the Rocky Mountain Range, but its expression showed no panic; instead, it exuded confidence.
"You beast, why can't you just stay in the Shadow Realm? You dare to trespass into my ancient ghost domain and cause trouble; you're just asking for death."
"..."
After arriving at the rocky hill, the Rock Demon Lord, the Thunder Demon Lord, Ling Pengxing, and most of the Rock Demon Clan and the five superior evil demons immediately unleashed a variety of powerful attacks on the Shadow Leopard.
Because of its mastery of physical techniques, the Rock Demon King wore an incredibly sturdy full-body rock armor and wielded a rock demon axe containing immense power, charging directly into the fray.
The Heavenly Thunder Demon Lord, skilled in demonic thunder magic, unleashed some special techniques, summoning powerful bolts of heavenly thunder to strike.
Moreover, he also unleashed the top-tier, fifth-grade bone spear, Ghost Treasure, which he had acquired by chance in his early years.
Ling Pengxing then used a set of mid-grade fifth-tier Rock Ghost Swords, which he had obtained from the Rock Ghost Clan in his early years, to demonstrate some sword techniques.
The other powerful individuals also displayed remarkable skills.
A massive barrage of powerful attacks suddenly appeared, surging towards the Shadow Leopard King.
It could even submerge it entirely.
'Judging by the power of those methods, even a physically strong expert like the Rock Demon Lord would probably be unable to withstand them.'
'Even if that ghost leopard is incredibly strong, it will likely be unable to escape its fate this time.'
'...'
Many powerful figures felt a sense of joy upon seeing this scene, as if the outcome of the great battle had already been decided.
But in the very next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Although those powerful attacks easily tore the Ghost Leopard King apart, no blood was seen.
Moreover, its form instantly transformed into streaks of ghostly light and vanished.
"A fake body?"
"This leopard's methods are truly bizarre."
"I never expected that the fake body it created would be so realistic that even I couldn't detect anything unusual."
"By the way, everyone, quickly search the surroundings, and don't let that Ghost Leopard King get away."
Upon seeing this, the Rock Demon King, who had just arrived beside the Ghost Leopard King's avatar, was greatly alarmed. He quickly made some calls and then began to investigate his surroundings.
Although it is the kind of evil spirit that excels at breaking through, it is not very proficient in techniques such as investigation.
However, its methods in this area are much stronger than those of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
In addition, it has a decent fifth-grade high-quality ghost-detecting treasure to assist it.
Even ordinary Nascent Soul stage experts cannot escape its detection.
But now, this move seems to have no effect on the vanished Shadow Leopard King.
No matter how the Rock Demon King investigated, he could not find the figure of the Shadow Leopard King.
It was as if the Shadow Leopard King had already silently left the rocky hill.
This incident also made its expression gradually become serious, and it began to pay more attention to the Shadow Leopard King.
Ling Pengxing and other powerful figures such as Tianlei Guijun also noticed something was wrong.
'I truly never expected that the Ghost Leopard King would vanish without a trace right under our noses.'
'I'm afraid that the ghost leopard's skill in concealing its aura is extremely high, perhaps even the best in the entire Ghost Realm.'
'No wonder, decades ago, after discovering a mysterious loophole in the restrictions of the Shadow Realm, he dared to lead the Shadow Leopard clan to invade my Ancient Ghost Domain and cause chaos.' Ling Pengxing and the other powerful figures trembled.
Furthermore, the concealment technique that the Shadow Leopard King is currently displaying seems to have no other use besides escaping.
But if it's used for a sneak attack, I'm afraid no one could stop it.
After all, the Shadow Leopard King's cultivation level was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Subsequently, Ling Pengxing and other powerful figures quickly employed numerous life-saving techniques to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
In an instant, the situation of this rocky hill became particularly strange.
Ling Pengxing, along with more than a dozen powerful figures at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, including Rock Ghost Lord and Thunder Ghost Lord, stared blankly at the surrounding void, not daring to make any move.
They even held their breath, like sharp swords, ready to strike at any moment.
……
now.
Not far from the rocky mountain range, in a void.
'A clown.'
The Shadow Leopard King, which had previously evaded the encirclement in a special way, was lurking here. After observing the situation inside the rocky hill, a mocking look appeared on its face.
Furthermore, the concealment technique it previously used was a superior concealment divine power called "Shadow Demon Technique," which was accumulated and perfected by the ancestors of the Shadow Leopard clan over countless years.
This technique has an extremely strong ability to conceal one's presence.
Moreover, due to its extraordinary talent, the Shadow Leopard King possessed some genius in this area and had already mastered it to perfection at a young age.
The power it unleashes will be even stronger.
In addition, the top-grade fifth-tier superior-quality Shadow Full Body Armor, a clan-protecting spiritual treasure passed down by the Shadow Leopard clan, is not only highly defensive, but also possesses considerable concealment power.
Moreover, this power will not conflict with the ghostly and ethereal technique.
Both can be used together.
It was precisely because of this that the Shadow Leopard King was able to easily evade the detection of powerful figures like the Rock Demon Lord.
'The battle begins!'
Immediately afterwards, it made a thought.
Deep beneath the rocky mountain range, countless array patterns emerged.
Ultimately, they intertwined and transformed into a massive trapping formation, completely enveloping the entire rocky mountain range.
Moreover, the formation exuded the aura of a top-tier fifth-order superior trapping formation, possessing extremely strong power.
'Damn it.'
'That Shadow Leopard King is truly insidious, and when did it set up such a formation within the Rocky Mountain Range?'
'...'
The powerful figures, including the Rock Demon Lord, who were inside the Rock Mountain, were completely dumbfounded upon seeing this.
When they came from the main force and charged towards this place, they had already carefully explored the rocky hill.
Although the Rocky Hill had originally been protected by a powerful formation set up by the Shadow Leopard Clan.
However, the formation had already been broken, and its foundation was damaged, so it could not be activated again in the short term.
Moreover, the formation that has appeared in the rocky hill today is completely different from the previous protective formation; it is a new formation.
However, powerful figures like the Rock Demon Lord had never discovered the existence of this formation before.
In addition, among the dozen or so experts at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, including the Rock Ghost Lord, there are quite a few who are skilled in formations.
Even they couldn't detect this, which made them somewhat suspicious.
'Although that trapping formation is of a high grade, it doesn't possess particularly strong concealment abilities, so theoretically it shouldn't be able to hide right under our noses.'
'Under such circumstances, only a seasoned, high-grade fifth-tier array master, or even a top-grade fifth-tier array master, could assist the array with a special technique.'
The powerful beings, including the Rock Demon Lord, secretly speculated, but they were even more surprised by what they heard.
This is because the powerful members of the Shadow Leopard clan have never displayed such abilities.
Moreover, the formation was somewhat special, unlike ordinary formations.
The aura of the Shadow Panther King still lingers within.
'This is likely a special kind of innate formation, and it's highly probable that it belongs to the Shadow Leopard King.'
'I truly didn't expect that the Shadow Leopard King would also possess knowledge of formations.'
The powerful figures, including the Rock Demon Lord, were greatly surprised.
As they gazed at the inexplicable trapping formation that had appeared amidst the rocky hill, they began to guess at some possibilities.
They immediately set out to break the formation, but the formation was of a higher grade.
Even if they used some methods to break the formation, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.
They immediately became anxious and quickly sent a message to the strongmen in the main force to prevent any accidents from happening.
"Recently, I've expended countless efforts to perfect my innate Shadow-Trapping Mystic Array, utilizing the dense ghostly energy within the rocky hill. It's been worthwhile."
'The power it is demonstrating today is truly extraordinary.'
'And with this formation currently trapping powerful enemies like the Rock Demon Lord, it has created a good opportunity for me.'
The Shadow Leopard King, hidden in the shadows, sneered upon seeing this.
It possesses extraordinary talent, not only excelling in cultivation but also being extremely skilled in the art of formations.
It's just that the world doesn't know this.
It had even cultivated its array formations to the advanced level of the fifth rank early on, making it the strongest array formation master among the Shadow Leopard clan.
The Shadow Trapping Formation within the rocky hill is its natal formation, crafted from numerous formation resources of the Shadow Ghost Leopard clan.
And recently, it has been nurtured to the top-tier fifth-order superior level.
Furthermore, the Shadow Leopard King did not intend to take this opportunity to attack the powerful enemies, such as the Rock Demon Lord, who were trapped in the Rock Mountain Range.
From beginning to end, it had no intention of confronting powerful enemies such as the Rock Demon King.
There were simply too many powerful individuals like Ling Pengxing.
Moreover, there is also the Rock Ghost Lord, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation, overseeing the situation.
Even if the Shadow Leopard King succeeds in its sneak attack, it will likely be locked onto and easily fall into danger.
Therefore, it made a compromise and headed towards the place where its own army and the army of the Rock Demon Clan were fighting.
Its stealth speed was extremely fast, and it quickly arrived at the battlefield.
At this moment, it discovered that the Rock Demon clan might be extremely skilled in physical combat.
In order to achieve merit, they did not fight in the light screens created by various battle formations, unlike the other five powerful members of the superior evil ghost clan who remained here.
Instead, they broke free from the light screens created by their various battle formations and turned to fight the enemy with their physical bodies, charging towards the Shadow Leopard clan.
This presents a perfect opportunity for the Shadow Panther King to launch a surprise attack.
Like the Rock Demon Lord, it excels most in the art of physical strength.
But it differs from its strengths.
The Rock Demon Lord possesses immense strength, even the power to shatter the heavens.
While its strength is decent, much stronger than that of a typical Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of their cultivation, that's secondary.
Even its previous methods of concealing its aura were secondary.
Its strongest feature is the sharp claws and teeth on its four legs, which are so sharp that they are comparable to ordinary fifth-grade top-quality ghost treasures.
Therefore, when it fights, it often uses its ability to conceal its breath, combined with a little force, to launch surprise attacks with its sharp claws and teeth.
"not good!"
The mid-stage Nascent Soul Rock Demon reacted in time, summoning a mid-grade fifth-rank ghost shield and several protective talismans to try and resist.
However, the Shadow Panther King's claws were simply too sharp.
The defensive measures it employed were like thin paper in its eyes, easily torn apart. (End of Chapter)
