Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 241 Bronze Tree

The others on the platform also noticed the anomaly in the air and dodged in all directions. Some who couldn't dodge in time were instantly electrocuted, their bodies paralyzed, and they trembled as they fell to the ground.

Qin Xiaochuan immediately abandoned his fight with Lei Gang, dodging the lightning strikes as he approached Han Kexin.

"What kind of monster is this? Can you recognize it?" Han Kexin asked him.

"This...this looks like the mythical Kaiming Beast from mythology." Qin Xiaochuan stared incredulously at the monster in the air. It had the body of a tiger but the head with nine human faces. Wasn't this exactly the same as the Kaiming Beast described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

"Enlightened Divine Beast? I have indeed heard of that name before," Han Kexin said thoughtfully.

After catching a bolt of lightning, Qin Xiaochuan said, "That's right. Legend has it that Kaiming is the divine beast that guards the Heavenly Gate of Kunlun Ruins. If it really is the Kaiming divine beast, then this bronze gate is probably the Heavenly Gate leading to Kunlun Ruins."

Lightning crackled on his Xuanwu Shield. Although the lightning was blocked, the metal-attribute Xuanwu Shield was clearly countered by the lightning. In addition, the powerful spiritual energy contained in the lightning made his arms numb. It was indeed a legendary divine beast. This reminded him of the scene when he encountered Feifei outside the Wuyuan Land. The strength of this Kaiming beast in front of him was probably even greater than Feifei's. Fortunately, there were experts from various sects present today. If it were only Qin Xiaochuan and the others here, they would probably not have escaped a calamity.

Another electric net descended from the sky. The power of the Kaiming was so great that even with many experts among the crowd, they were forced to retreat. Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but worry and said, "It seems that it does not allow us to enter Kunlun Ruins. Even if we force our way in, I'm afraid our chances of survival are slim."

"What, are you backing down?" Han Kexin asked coldly.

"How could that be? I promised Shiyi I would find Aunt Jiang's memories no matter what," Qin Xiaochuan replied immediately. "I was just reminding everyone to be careful."

As the two were talking, the bronze door opened a large crack. Han Kexin saw this and recalled what the person had told her last night. She immediately said decisively, "In that case, let's go in and see."

Taking advantage of the brief pause in Kaiming's skill release, Han Kexin immediately said "Let's go," and the four of them filed in through the gap in the bronze door.

Upon seeing this, Kaiming roared loudly, and instantly dozens of lightning bolts converged and shot towards the four of them simultaneously.

As Qin Xiaochuan rushed through the bronze gate, he felt a blast of cold air hit him in the face, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white. When he finally saw his surroundings clearly, he realized that he was in a snow-covered mountain.

Just then, Kaiming's attack followed. At the critical moment, Zhou Bin stood in front of everyone, quickly making hand seals. The red giant figure reappeared, but this time he held a shield in both hands, only in a defensive posture. At the same time, he added a layer of golden bell shield to the red giant figure, maximizing its defense.

"Boom!" The huge roar instantly sent Zhou Bin flying. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, leaving a crimson stain on the snow.

Kaiming's furious attack was terrifying. Although Zhou Bin defended with all his might, he was no match for it. Fortunately, he only suffered some internal injuries and was not in mortal danger.

Since the gap in the bronze door was not yet large, and the Kaiming Beast was too big to fly over immediately, the four were temporarily out of danger.

Because of the four people's actions, Kaiming increased the level of prevention and control. Others who originally wanted to sneak over like Qin Xiaochuan and the others were all stopped in time by Kaiming's lightning.

Chapter update reminder: Chapter 242 Bronze Tree (2), reading address.

Two peaks stood on either side of the snow-capped mountain, leaving only a passage in the middle. Qin Xiaochuan took the rhinoceros beetle out of his pocket, and the four of them rode on it, flying forward along the only passage in the mountain.

An endless chill gathered from afar, and as far as the eye could see, there was only an overwhelming expanse of white—a pure white that rejected life. It was not a gentle snowfield, but ice frozen for millions of years, covering the jagged, bone-like mountain ridges. Under the pale sunlight, it reflected a sharp, cold, metallic luster. The wind blew through the passage, stirring up snowflakes from the ground, which drifted and swirled into the distance.

After about fifteen minutes, they flew to the end of the passage, where there was a sheer cliff. The wind howled at the edge of the cliff, swirling snowflakes in the air. The bottom was nowhere in sight. Only on the left side of the mountain peak was a lonely plank road leading to who-knows-where.

As soon as the rhinoceros beetle approached the edge of the cliff, the four of them felt it begin to shake violently. The wind at the edge of the cliff was so strong that the rhinoceros beetle was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment.

Just then, a dark shadow loomed over them from the sky. Qin Xiaochuan looked up and was shocked. He exclaimed, "Oh no! Kaiming has caught up with us!"

"Fly up the mountain. If we get hit by its skill at this cliff edge, we'll be in big trouble," Han Kexin said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaochuan immediately changed direction and flew towards the mountain peak on the left. However, the speed of the Enlightened Beast was too fast, and it caught up with them in no time. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a thick pillar of lightning struck down from the sky.

"Dodge!" Han Kexin shouted, pushing Qin Xiaochuan with her palm while she and Xiaoying dodged backward.

With a loud "bang," the rhinoceros beetle, which had been hovering in the air, was struck by the lightning bolt and instantly turned into dust.

Before the four could catch their breath, bolts of lightning from Kaiming struck relentlessly from the sky. Fortunately, all four were quite strong and, through teamwork and by taking advantage of the terrain, they managed to narrowly dodge the attack once, though it left them utterly exhausted.

To make matters worse, the four of them were unknowingly pushed to the edge of a cliff again by Kaiming, and their situation became increasingly dangerous.

However, there was some good news. While the Kaiming Beast was in pursuit, the people from various sects who had been blocked outside the bronze gate had also arrived and were slowly surrounding the Kaiming Beast. Some of them seemed to be setting up some kind of formation.

After several missed attacks, Kaiming seemed to be enraged, roaring repeatedly. After circling in the air, it threw several more bolts of lightning at the four of them, then suddenly turned around and swooped down towards Xiaoying.

Qin Xiaochuan was shocked and quickly stood in front of Xiaoying, releasing all his defensive skills at the same time. In the blink of an eye, Kaiming pounced on him, his claws flashing with the force of thunder, instantly shattering his Fire Wall Formation, Xuanwu Shield, and other skills.

Although he ultimately managed to block the attack thanks to his Qilin Armor and did not suffer serious internal injuries, the massive shockwave still sent him flying.

Behind Qin Xiaochuan was a cliff. He was in mid-air and had no way to dodge. To make matters worse, at the same time he was thrown into the air, he was struck by a bolt of lightning from Kaiming. Although the lightning did not cause him any real damage, it paralyzed his body and made him unable to move. So he fell straight down the cliff like a stone.

"Uncle!" Xiaoying, who had witnessed everything, shouted anxiously.

Just as Kaiming Beast turned around to launch another attack, four loud shouts of "Four Symbols Subduing Demon Formation" suddenly rang out from the crowd surrounding him. Immediately afterwards, four golden lights shone from the crowd and struck Kaiming in the air.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "The Revelation of the Way of Heaven":
