Volume 1: Heavenly Machine Pavilion Turbulence Chapter 18: Powerful Reinforcement (Part 1)

  Outside the forest, various magical instruments shone brightly, human voices and beastly roars continued unabated, the battle was extremely fierce.

  From the current situation on the field, the cultivators have an absolute advantage. With just that Zhao-named Golden Elixir cultivator alone, his strength is already making it difficult for Meng to parry.

  However, it was extremely difficult for the cultivator to achieve a complete victory and kill Quan Meng and others. With the help of two Soul Clan masters, Quan Meng and others completely disregarded the cultivator's artifact attacks, fearlessly fighting to the death, and desperately entangling in battle!

  Even if they suffered some injuries, under the blessing of Sa Pu and Sa Ding's soul power, they instantly recovered and healed, without affecting their combat effectiveness at all!

  This situation is also a great headache for the cultivators. If they can't get rid of their opponents, after a long time, their own spiritual power will be consumed too much, and at that time, the battle situation may reverse!

  "These barbarians are really troublesome, it seems that I can only use my killer move!" The golden elixir cultivator with the surname Zhao had a fierce glint in his eyes, opened his mouth and spat out a bronze hammer artifact which shot out from his mouth, spinning slightly in mid-air before expanding rapidly in size to become as large as a small mountain, smashing down on the Iron Armed Ape King who was charging forward.

  Bai Shan Hai's strongest transformation is the Iron Arm Ape, with a robust physical defense and boundless strength. Especially its pair of iron arms, which can wield a power of over 10,000 kilograms when swung, making it truly fierce and valiant!

  When the giant hammer fell from mid-air, Tie Biyun's eyes widened in anger, he let out a loud roar towards the sky and swung his right arm to charge straight at the falling giant hammer.

  "Get out of the way, this is a Golden Elixir cultivator's life-protecting treasure, you can't match its power!" A loud and fierce shout came from the mouth of Chi Huo Mo Xie, who was standing aside. Bai Shan Hai, who had transformed into a giant ape, heard this and his eyes revealed a terrified color, wanting to dodge but it was already too late. The gigantic hammer slammed down, instantly crushing the giant ape's body into a pulp.

  "Brother Shanhai!"

  "Leader!"

  Two mournful cries echoed, but the transformed demon lizard let out a loud roar and shot a fist-sized, bright red orb from its mouth at the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Zhao.

  At the same time, Chu Yunxiao, who had transformed into an iron-armored beast, also spat out a pale blue bead that shot towards Zhao's Golden Elixir cultivator with a piercing whistling sound, as fast as lightning.

  The two of them witnessed Bai Shanhai's tragic death and knew they had no more strength to resist the enemy, so they spat out the demonic beast's inner dan that they had cultivated for many years to attack the enemy.

  The savage tribe's beast soul warrior, with a strong power coming from the demon beast essence and internal elixir cultivated within his body. The demon beast essence allows the beast soul warrior to cast the 'beast transformation' secret technique, while the internal elixir is the source of all power. Once they sacrifice their internal elixir to attack the enemy, although they can unleash their strongest attack, the aftereffects are severe, causing immense damage to their own cultivation!

  From the current situation, our side has already fallen into a desperate situation. Chu Yun and Xiang have a determination to die, only thinking that before they die, they can kill their opponent, so they can die without regret!

  At the same time, Bai Feng saw Bai Shan Hai's tragic death not far away and also had a determined mind to die. He spat out his own inner elixir that he had cultivated for many years towards his opponent.

  "Want to fight to the death? Hmph!" The Golden Elixir cultivator surnamed Zhao hummed softly, but then he reached out and lightly patted the pouch at his waist. In an instant, a pagoda-shaped artifact flew out of the pouch and hovered above his head, emitting a faint golden glow that enveloped him.

  A powerful elixir burst forth, but was completely blocked by the golden light emanating from the treasure pagoda, unable to budge it in the slightest.

  The Golden Elixir cultivator with the surname Zhao pinched his fingers together, and the massive hammer that had been deeply embedded in the ground floated back into mid-air. With a loud crash, it smashed down towards the transformed Gluttonous Toad.

  Fierce anger raged in his heart, but his divine consciousness remained clear. Seeing the situation was not good, he hastily dodged to the right. The giant hammer fell with extreme speed, and Fierce's body, transformed into a demonic turtle, was too enormous. Although he avoided it in time, his hind legs and tail were still struck, and an ear-piercing scream came from the demonic turtle's mouth. Its front claws dug into the ground as it continuously twisted its body, trying to escape the hammer, but it couldn't!

  At this moment, Sabi and Sadeng, who were dozens of feet away in the rear, raised their bone staffs and muttered incantations. With two "puffs", they spat out a mouthful of blood, which transformed into blood arrows in mid-air and shot towards the treasure tower magic weapon released by Zhao's Golden Elixir cultivator.

  Two blood arrows hit the treasure tower's magic instrument without any deviation, and in an instant, the surface of the tower's body rapidly dimmed, emitting a low hum.

  "You dare to desecrate my master's treasure! Come and meet your death!" The golden elixir cultivator surnamed Zhao, seeing his precious pagoda artifact damaged by the blood arrow, revealed a pained expression on his face. His eyes flashed with anger, and he clenched his fist, ignoring the heavily injured Meng Meng, as he controlled his life-bound treasure to smash down on Sa Pei and Sa Ding.

  "Boom! Boom!"

  After two loud crashes, Sa Pu and Sa Ding were crushed to death under the giant hammer, turning into minced meat on the spot.

  The Soul Clan Master's witchcraft was mysterious and unpredictable, but his physical body was weak and had low defense capabilities, making him completely unable to resist the attack of a Golden Elixir Cultivator's life-protecting treasure.

  After killing Sa Pu and Sa Ding, the Jin Dan cultivator with the surname Zhao took a slight breath, then drove the giant hammer to smash towards Chu Yunxiao. His face was slightly pale at this moment, as if he was somewhat out of strength.

  He had just entered the Golden Elixir stage, and his life-bound treasure was not yet fully refined. He hastily used it to attack the enemy, which not only doubled his spiritual energy consumption but also greatly damaged his life-bound treasure. Due to the urgency of the situation, he wanted a quick battle and resolution, so he didn't consider the consequences and used his not-yet-fully-refined life-bound treasure to defend against the enemy.

  "After dealing with these barbarians, my 'Giant Spirit Hammer' will need to be refined with elixir fire for at least several decades to recover the lost spiritual energy!" The Golden Elixir cultivator surnamed Zhao gritted his teeth and gathered all the spiritual energy in his body, controlling the giant hammer to fly towards Chu Yunxiao's head.

  Two Soul Masters have fallen, and Qiong Meng is seriously injured. Even transforming into a beast soul cannot sustain him, and he has already returned to his human form. His lower body is a bloody mess, and the shape of his legs can no longer be seen. He lies on the ground, barely breathing!

  As for Chu Yunxiao and his wife, they were at the end of their rope. There was no need for that Golden Dan cultivator to make a move. The six remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators on the scene were enough to kill the two of them!

  As the giant hammer above his head was about to fall, Chu Yunxiang's heart was really unwilling. He and his wife could die, but Chu Hei, his son, the only genius who had condensed four beast patterns in hundreds of years of barbarian life, would also follow him and his wife to the Yellow Springs. This ending made Chu Yunxiang unable to close his eyes in death!

  At this moment, a loud and clear eagle cry suddenly sounded from the sky above, its voice piercing through the heavens and reaching the clouds of Jiuzhou.

  Including the cultivators, everyone on the scene raised their heads and looked up at the sky. Under their gaze, a huge golden eagle broke through the air from the distant horizon, extremely fast, and arrived in the sky above the crowd's fierce battle in the blink of an eye.

  After a brief flutter, the giant eagle flapped its massive wings and dived down. As it approached closer to the ground, the crowd below clearly saw an old man standing on the eagle's back, wearing a golden ceremonial robe.

  "Soul Clan Priest!"

  The Golden Elixir cultivator with the surname Zhao suddenly changed his expression and let out a cry of surprise. Immediately, he saw that his hands had pinched together to recall the giant hammer that was about to smash towards Chu Yunxiao, then shouted loudly at his companions beside him: "The situation has changed, everyone quickly retreat!"

  Before his voice had fallen, he transformed into a streak of light and shot eastward. The remaining crowd saw this and drove their own lights to follow closely behind him.

  "Hmmph!"

  The golden-robed old man standing on the eagle's back gazed down at the fleeing cultivators, and a low hum came from his mouth. The sound was not loud, but it had an extremely piercing power, resonating deep within the hearts of everyone below.

  Chu Yunxiang and his wife didn't think much of it after hearing it. The two of them were filled with reverence, their eyes gazing up at a figure in the sky - a man and an eagle.

  As for those fleeing cultivators, after the golden-robed old man's humming sound rose up, except for that surname Zhao Golden Elixir cultivator whose body shook in mid-air and then continued to flee forward, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators fell to the ground like rain.

  "You cultivators dare to cause trouble and harm people near my Blackstone City? Hmph, go die!"

  A golden giant eagle swooped down, and a loud male voice came from its mouth. Immediately, the giant eagle opened its beak and shot out six or seven blue electric arcs, which struck the falling cultivators without any deviation. Instantly, mournful cries filled the air as those cultivators were surrounded by the electric arcs. In an instant, their bodies turned to ashes, and they died on the spot.

  After killing those Jikishi, the Golden Eagle seemed to have not yet dissipated its anger, and with a flap of its wings, it chased after that Zhao surname Jindan cultivator who was fleeing in front.

  "Master, the situation with the fierce leader is very bad right now. If we don't treat him in time, his life may be in danger!" The old man in golden robes standing on the eagle's back said with a slightly furrowed brow.

  "This guy is cheap!" The giant eagle let out a cold hum, its wings spinning as it descended towards the ground below without continuing to attack.

  At a height of tens of zhang above the ground, the golden giant eagle's body flashed with a strange light and instantly transformed into a middle-aged man in his forties. He floated gently down to the ground, at the same time, the old man in the golden robe also descended and stood beside him.

  "Greetings, Your Excellency the Master of the Temple! Greetings, Your Excellency the High Priest!"

  Chu Yunxiang and his wife saw the two of them and hastily came forward to pay their respects, with extremely respectful expressions.

  These two are the two powerful men in charge of Blackstone City, and the middle-aged man is the master of the Blackstone City Witch Temple, Gui Lie. His ability to transform into a fifth-level demon beast 'Thunder Eagle' is self-evident, and it's clear that this person is a strong and fierce three-soul warrior of the Savage Tribe.

  As for the golden-robed old man named Zhong Nanlong, he was a soul tribe priest. Within the soul tribe, according to their strength, they were divided into four levels: witch doctor, superior master, priest, and high priest. Throughout the entire soul tribe, except for the strongest Saloman High Priest, the priests had the second-strongest power.

  Once a Soul Clan member cultivates to the level of a Priest, their own strength will undergo a qualitative transformation, and the power of their witchcraft and secret techniques will greatly increase. Enemies at the same level will find it difficult to get close, and in terms of difficulty to deal with, they are no weaker than the three-soul warriors of the Savage Tribe. This is also why that Zhao-named Golden Elixir cultivator turned around and ran when he saw Zhong Nanlong earlier!

  Not to mention the huge loss of his spiritual power, even if he was in his peak state, with his Jindan initial cultivation, it's simply impossible for him to defeat the Soul Clan's priest!

  Moreover, there was also the master of the Blackstone City Witch Hall, Gui Lie. Since the territory under the jurisdiction of Blackstone City belonged to the outer periphery of Nanhuang, the geographical location was complex, and there were often immortal cultivators causing trouble. Therefore, the masters of the Blackstone City Witch Hall throughout the ages were all top-notch experts in the Nanjiang Alien Alliance. Gui Lie's personal strength was ranked among the top five in the entire Shengman tribe, and he was a top expert under the Man King Gui Lei!

  Only he alone, wanting to kill a Golden Elixir early-stage cultivator, was as easy as turning his hand over!

  Luckily, the Zhao surname Jindan cultivator ran quickly. He caught sight of Zhong Nanlong's golden ritual robes and the Lei Ying beneath him. Two people's names immediately floated into his mind. Without even thinking, he drove out his escaping light and desperately fled. He didn't think that his own strength could withstand these two!
