The dragon horse let out another long neigh, its mane flaming like flames, its whole body shimmering with crimson light, displaying extraordinary valor.
It launched another attack, its hooves, as big as washbasins, directly stomping on the Wuji Dao Wheel above Lin Yi's head.
This naturally born beast was full of energy. With each leap, the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles were crushed into dust and fell into the dust. Its powerful strength was earth-shattering.
The sounds of battle spread in all directions, and bursts of bloody energy rose from the horizon. Three beams of light shot into the sky, like three blood-red pillars supporting the heavens, piercing through the nine heavens.
Seeing this, the dragon horse, which had always refused to admit defeat and was competing with Lin Yi, blazed even brighter, turning its entire body crimson like blood, with billowing smoke and clouds, and spewing out dragon-shaped columns of air from its mouth and nose.
Lin Yi stood in the very center of the storm. With a glance, he discovered that the golden lion and the red dragon that had been guarding him had long since vanished without a trace.
"Moo..."
A loud, raging roar echoed, and a massive, golden bull, hundreds of feet tall and as big as a small mountain, appeared in the distance. Its fur shone with light.
On the other side, a black ape stood with its feet firmly planted on the ground, its body shrouded in billowing black mist. It was a hundred feet tall and held a long, dark, gleaming sword in its hand, resembling an ancient demon god.
The third being was a Taoist priest, wearing a purple-gold crown, with a sallow complexion and looking sickly. However, he held a black dragon spear in his hand, emanating a terrifying aura.
These three beings all exuded a powerful aura, but they did not rush to make a move, as if they were merely announcing their arrival.
After seeing the situation clearly, the three creatures all laughed, as if mocking Ryoma.
Longma glared at the three uninvited guests, his divine sense trembling, and shouted, "Whoever can break that human's tortoise shell, I will make him cultivate in the Fire God Cave for three years."
"Is this true?" the yellow-faced Taoist priest holding a black dragon spear asked loudly.
Longma proudly raised his head and gave a disdainful "humph" in response.
The golden divine bull was the first to act, galloping like thunder, shaking mountains and rivers, and its pair of large horns aimed directly at Lin Yi.
The black ape followed closely behind, letting out a roar as it slashed down with its long sword.
"Buzz!"
The Taoist priest flicked the black dragon spear in his hand, and man and spear became one, transforming into a black raging dragon that pounced towards Lin Yi.
The attacks came one after another, like raindrops hitting banana leaves, "pitter-pattering" as they fell on the chaotic immortal light.
Golden Bull, Black Ape, and Yellow-faced Taoist tried their best, but ultimately failed.
That layer of seemingly thin, easily pierced chaotic immortal light was incredibly resilient and impossible to break.
These four strange beasts have all stepped into the third level of the Immortal Platform, achieving the status of King of the Dao. They are at the same level as Lin Yi.
However, although these strange beasts know how to cultivate, they are not proficient in any magic and their methods are limited.
Lin Yi pointed his finger, and the Wuji Dao Wheel above his head immediately transformed into the Five Primordial Treasures and flew out. The four strange beasts, including the dragon horse, sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
Lin Yi had figured out all their methods. In the blink of an eye, the Golden Bull was trapped by the Moral Taiji Diagram, the Black Ape was wrapped up by the Yin Virtue Refining Flag, and the Yellow-faced Taoist was suppressed by the Merit Xuanhuang Pagoda.
Only the dragon horse emitted a blazing immortal light, burning fiercely, with thunder descending from all directions and firelight everywhere. Under its four hooves, bolts of lightning flashed, and it rode the light.
However, it could never get rid of the Jade Ruyi that fell from the sky, and the Sacred River Book of Virtue evolved into thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, directly replacing this world.
The dragon horse soared into the sky and plunged into the earth, yet it could never escape Lin Yi's grasp.
This strange beast was proud and unyielding, and never submitted.
Lin Yi summoned the Gate of the Void and threw the dragon horse into the cave, suppressing it beneath the Ancestral God Mountain.
The three men, Golden Bull, Ape King, and Yellow-faced Taoist, were terrified and expressed their goodwill to Lin Yi, offering to give him the black dragon spear and explaining its origin.
The origin of this dragon spear is very mysterious. It was said to have flown in from beyond the heavens and inserted itself into the Kunlun Immortal Vein, while also carrying a ball of fire god source. No one knows what kind of divine object it is.
The Dragon Spear was snatched away by the Yellow-faced Taoist, while the Fire God Source combined with the Kunlun Immortal Vein, transforming into a strange energy that formed a cave dwelling, where cultivation could be twice as effective.
The Golden Ox, the Ape King, the Yellow-faced Taoist, and the Dragon Horse originally kept to themselves and even had some friendship. However, they had a conflict when they competed for the cave formed by the Fire God Source, and they often fought afterward.
Lin Yi reached out with his right hand, unleashing the Heavenly Dragon Claw to shatter the void and capture the fleeing golden lion and crimson old dragon.
Both of these strange beasts had been trained by the dragon horse to be very obedient, and immediately submitted to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded, then gripped the ground firmly with his palm. A rumbling sound came from the ground, a burst of fire shot up, and a dazzling divine light appeared on the surface.
The source of fire is a liquid, as fiery and viscous as magma. When it meets spiritual energy, it transforms into rays of life light, making people feel comfortable all over and accelerating their cultivation.
Lin Yi looked them over, and then took the Fire God Source, the Golden Bull, the Ape King, the Yellow-faced Taoist, the Golden Lion, and the Crimson Flood Dragon into the Taixu Cave Heaven.
After transmigrating to this world, influenced by the laws of this realm, many plant spirits that had taken human form in the Taixu Cave Heaven were forced back to their original forms.
(This is similar to how a large multinational corporation entering a country must abide by its laws.)
During his ten years in Kunlun Mountain, Xuan Yao Dao Ren complained to Lin Yi more than once that there were not enough people on Ancestral God Mountain.
Especially after Lin Yi moved half of the Immortal Valley into the Taixu Cave Heaven, these medicinal fields all needed manpower to manage, making the shortage even greater.
Lin Yi wanted to select a group of people from the Ninety-Nine Sects, but Chan Yinsha refused, preferring to spend time training them from scratch.
…………
The majestic Kunlun Mountains stretch endlessly, their peaks never ceasing.
Six months later, Lin Yi finally emerged from the ordeal.
After leaving Kunlun Mountain and arriving in the outside world, he immediately sensed the difference; the spiritual energy in the outside world was far too thin.
This is the situation more than ten years after Kunlun Mountain gave back to the land.
