Bai Qiuran gestured for Huangfu Feng to come a bit closer. With delicate precision, Huangfu Feng controlled the Broken God Blade, carefully circling around the stone tablet that had inexplicably grown to a height of hundreds of meters. “I’ve been waiting to hear you say that!” As the stone tablet cracked, the formations inscribed upon it dissipated, and the massive fire crane finally did not regenerate this time.
Bai Qiuran quickly reacted, pointing in a direction. “They went that way!” As seventy percent of the blue light points sank into the ground, there were no abnormal changes in the area. Once the remaining thirty percent settled into position, a faint blue glow flickered in the earth, only to quickly fade into silence.
“The inscriptions haven’t changed; they’ve merely been scaled up in proportion to what you said,” Huangfu Feng noted while circulating his True Qi.
He reached into the Broken Soul River and summoned a strange fish that was over twenty meters long, resembling a ferocious dog, hurling it towards the stone tablet. However, Bai Qiuran rolled over and slammed his palm onto the water’s surface.
Terrifying True Qi erupted, creating waves that extended for miles as several giant beasts flipped onto their backs, one of which had recently devoured the 'dog-head fish.' Its true form was that of a giant yellow duck with two red tentacles sprouting from its head.
The blue light points moved swiftly, arriving in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands within the blink of an eye. “They went that way!” Bai Qiuran exclaimed again to Huangfu Feng. The strength of this three-headed giant crane was comparable to the demonic thunder beast that had previously attacked the Azure Nether Mountain Gate, and Huangfu Feng did not underestimate it. He quickly sheathed the Broken God Blade, swinging it to unleash a blade aura like a blazing white pillar, pushing the three-headed crane back.
“I’m not sure, but I suspect it’s some kind of visible signal,” Huangfu Feng said thoughtfully as he observed. The three-headed giant crane was formidable, but Huangfu Feng quickly took precaution, summoning the power of the Broken God Blade once more, unleashing another brilliant attack that forced the creature back.
After observing for a moment, Bai Qiuran added, “The characters inscribed later have also been scaled up accordingly.” He continued to fend off the cranes’ attacks alongside Huangfu Feng.
The blue light points darted across, swiftly reaching the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. Huangfu Feng drew in more True Qi, bringing forth another massive fish from the river, tossing it again at the stone tablet. “Don’t disappoint me, Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect; don’t let us down against a mere formation,” Bai Qiuran teased.
Feeling the drain on his energy, Huangfu Feng was relieved to hear Bai Qiuran call out, “I’ve finished filming; let’s break this down." With a flourish, Huangfu Feng spun the Broken God Blade, forming a relentless net of blade aura that caught the attention of the blue light points. Simultaneously, Bai Qiuran let out a wave of True Qi, enveloping the area with a curtain of energy. But those mischievous blue light points seemed to ignore this barrier, darting through the gaps and flying skyward.
The enormous fire crane, previously engaged with Huangfu Feng, quickly turned towards Bai Qiuran upon his landing on the stone tablet. However, Huangfu Feng moved instantly, positioning himself to intercept it. A fierce battle unfolded once more, their powerful energies clashing and resounding throughout the surroundings.
As seventy percent of the blue light points sank without causing any noticeable reaction in the region, the overall atmosphere thickened with anticipation. When the last thirty percent settled, a vague blue glow illuminated the distance before fading away again.
“Looks like there’s no reaction after all,” Huangfu Feng said, frowning slightly. Bai Qiuran and Huangfu Feng stood amidst the crumbled remains of the stone tablet. Meanwhile, the shadow of the Titan-like demon god roared back at them, wielding its six arms and looking menacing, as if preparing to unleash unmatched fury upon the three-headed crane, the stone tablet, and the surrounding area, ready to obliterate them all.
However, a moment later, some blue points emerged from underground, rapidly flying to their intended spots, almost like fireflies darting across the sky. “What a spectacle. However, we have to chase them!” Bai Qiuran announced, determination brimming in his voice.
With that, the two heroes leapt back into action, ready to confront whatever challenges awaited them from that crumbling stone—now nothing more than a remnant of its former glory.
