Undying Life

Chapter 255: Chapter 255:Eat, eat, eat

"What?" Prince Han Jue's eyes widened.

All those who were frightened by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails were in a panic, flying quickly towards the four city gates.

The city gates were closed? What did that mean? Was the city isolated, sealed off?

Prince Han Jue glanced in Zhongshan's direction and immediately followed the official who had brought the news, quickly leaving to check the four city gates.

"Sir, this Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails is too bizarre. Let's go quickly," Ada said anxiously.

"Go? Where to? Aren't the city gates closed?" Nian Youyou immediately interjected.

Zhongshan was puzzled now. Normally, the situation in Fengling City should be extremely dangerous, at least for himself, it would be definitely dangerous. With the emergence of the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails, he, a Golden Core stage cultivator, would be unable to handle it. But why was the Red Luan Pink Lotus not reacting at all? Could he be divinely protected?

Looking at the Feng Shui fish in his hand, Zhongshan frowned slightly. "Why does the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails avoid Feng Shui fish?"

"The Feng Shui fish itself doesn't have much power. It should be because there are imprints of the original Feng Shui array contained within the Feng Shui fish. The suppression over thousands of years instinctively causes the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails to choose to avoid it, so it gave that person a chance to escape," Princess Qianyou analyzed.

"Ada, A'er, be careful, try to avoid the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails as much as possible, and see what's happening at the four corners of Fengling City. What has the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails done in Fengling City?" Zhongshan instructed.

"What about you, sir?" Ada immediately asked.

"We stay here for now. We're not going anywhere," Zhongshan said.

"Here?" Ada asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. Since the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails is averse to the Feng Shui fish, it must also be averse to the place where it's sealed. In Fengling City, this should be the safest place," Zhongshan said with absolute certainty.

"Understood," Ada immediately responded.

Then, Ada and A'er quickly flew away.

Nian Youyou smiled mischievously and followed Zhongshan, refusing to go anywhere else. Princess Qianyou naturally stayed behind as well. At least this way, Zhongshan would be safer.

Zhongshan, accompanied by the two women, headed straight for the terrace halfway up the mountain where he had previously sat with Xuanyuan.

Sitting on a stone bench, Zhongshan looked up at the sky.

In the distance, a man soared into the sky in fear, trying to fly out of the city.

"Boom~~~"

Suddenly, a large number of purple lightning bolts appeared out of thin air in the sky. The lightning bolts gathered rapidly like a huge net and instantly converged on the man flying into the sky. Without any mercy, they turned the man who had intruded into the city into ashes.

"World Annihilation Heavenly Thunder Formation?" Zhongshan muttered.

The protective formation that guarded Fengling City now seemed to be like a death warrant, preventing anyone from leaving the city.

Not only that, after one person was turned into ashes, countless threads of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

Slowly appearing, in the high sky, from all directions, countless threads of lightning appeared. More and more of them. The lightning flashed, and for a moment, the sky was filled with lightning, as if it were the end of the world.

"This is not the World Annihilation Heavenly Thunder Formation, this is not it," Princess Qianyou immediately frowned.

"Not it?" Zhongshan asked in confusion.

"No, the World Annihilation Heavenly Thunder Formation doesn't look like this, at least not when no one has intruded. It's impossible for lightning to flash like this," Princess Qianyou said with absolute certainty.

"Let's wait for Ada and A'er to come back before we say anything," Zhongshan said calmly, sitting on a stone bench.

Now, the situation could be said to be extremely critical, but the more critical it was, the calmer one had to be. It was necessary to stay calm.

Zhongshan, Qianyou, and Nian Youyou patiently waited.

Half an hour later, Ada returned first.

"Sir, it's not good. The four city gates are gone," Ada said immediately.

"Gone?" Zhongshan frowned.

"Yes, the city gates are gone. There are only city walls where the gates used to be. Many people have squeezed through, but there are no gates. How can we leave?" Ada said with great concern.

"Many people have squeezed through? Squeezed? What does that mean?" Zhongshan asked in confusion.

In the vast Fengling City, no matter how many people there were, they couldn't possibly describe it as being "squeezed."

"They're really squeezing. Sir, there are many Tails in the city now. Those Tails that were originally dormant have all come to life, devouring people everywhere. Although they're not as exaggerated as the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails, there are too many Tails in the city, far too many," Ada said anxiously.

"How is the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails now?" Zhongshan asked with a furrowed brow.

"Sir, the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails... the Initial Eight Demonic Robber died. He was eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails while trying to save Evil Flame," Ada said, his voice tinged with fear.

Golden Core stage, the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails, what exactly was it? How could such a thing exist in the world? The Initial Eight Demonic Robber, who was at a comparable strength, was eaten like this? Thinking back to the scene he had witnessed earlier, Ada was filled with fear.

"Eaten?" Nian Youyou exclaimed in surprise.

Nian Youyou couldn't believe it. Even if the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails had eaten the Initial Eight Demonic Robber's giant sword, she wasn't so surprised. It could be seen that the Initial Eight Demonic Robber was careless at the time. But in the face of life and death, would the Initial Eight Demonic Robber still be so careless? Even under the Initial Eight Demonic Robber's full power, he was still eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails. What kind of creature was the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails? Why wasn't it recorded even in the Eternal Realm?

"Sir," Princess Qianyou said with a hint of panic as she looked at Zhongshan.

Golden Core stage, Golden Core stage, the strongest person in Fengling City was only at the Golden Core stage. Such a person was actually eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails? Then, wasn't it invincible? And now, people couldn't even leave.

"Don't panic!" Zhongshan said softly.

Princess Qianyou and Nian Youyou were both starting to feel anxious because death was looming, but Zhongshan could remain calm because the Red Luan Pink Lotus on his brow hadn't changed color, still as it was.

"Sir, there's another strange thing," Ada suddenly said.

"What?" Zhongshan frowned.

"I can't feel the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails," Ada said.

"You can't feel it?" Zhongshan asked in confusion.

"Yes, I can't feel it either. Although my eyes can see it, when my divine sense passes through it, it feels like there's nothing there, as if it's one with the heavens and the earth," Nian Youyou suddenly recalled her previous sensation.

"It's impossible. If it were one with the heavens and the earth, we would have died just now. It's impossible," Princess Qianyou said.

Zhongshan narrowed his eyes, pondering continuously. "Ada, be careful, try again."

"Yes," Ada immediately nodded. Then, he disappeared from the spot with a flicker.

Not long after, Ada returned.

"Sir," Ada said with a frightened expression as he handed over a memory crystal.

In the memory crystal, Zhongshan saw a huge gold mine, a gold mountain, which was incredibly precious in the eyes of mortals and was only a kind of refining ore for cultivators.

A gold mountain, a gold mountain that was four hundred meters high.

In just a moment, it was eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails.

Gone, the mountain, shown in the memory crystal, was quickly eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails and swallowed into its belly. The Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails remained the same size, but it wasn't afraid to eat anything, even a mountain.

"What... what is this?" Nian Youyou stared wide-eyed at the memory crystal.

Eating mountains?

It wasn't over yet. In the memory crystal, the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails 'Yiya, Yiya' cried out for a while, as if it had become thirsty after eating a mountain, and went to a large lake, opening its small mouth.

"Swish, swish."

In an instant, the entire lake was gulped down by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails.

A monster! A huge monster! A monstrous creature!

Everyone looked on incredulously. What was this thing?

At this moment, many of the Tails that had previously eaten people quickly ran to it, only to be eaten by the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails. For every one it swallowed, it spat out two more. The two that were spat out seemed slightly smaller, and then quickly ran in all directions, continuing to devour people.

"Yiya, Yiya, Yiya..."

The monstrous little creature gleefully cried out. Little did it know, its joyous cries sounded more like a death knell, instilling fear in the hearts of those near and far, causing them to turn and flee.

The contents of the memory crystal ended, but the hearts of everyone present couldn't calm down for a long time.

The Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails, a peerless monster.

"Ada, be careful, try again," Zhongshan said solemnly.

"Yes," Ada immediately responded, then quickly turned and flew away.

In the valley, only Zhongshan, Nian Youyou, and Princess Qianyou remained.

Nian Youyou bit her lip, obviously feeling panicked for the first time in her life. Princess Qianyou had also been panicked before, but upon seeing Zhongshan's calm face, her heart calmed down as well. Zhongshan's calmness always had a way of infecting others, soothing Princess Qianyou's panicked heart.

Nian Youyou turned her head to look at Zhongshan, also showing a hint of confusion. Because besides furrowing his brow in thought, Zhongshan showed no signs of panic.

Why was he so calm? He was just at the Golden Core stage, a mere Golden Core stage cultivator. Even if it wasn't the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails, ordinary Tails in the city might be able to devour him now. Why was he still so calm?

Zhongshan was very calm because the Red Luan Pink Lotus on his brow remained unchanged, showing no signs of distress. What was going on? In such a dangerous situation, why was the Red Luan Pink Lotus not reacting at all? Was it broken, or was it simply the safest option for him?

Looking up at the increasing number of thunder threads in the sky, Zhongshan's eyes also showed surprise and uncertainty. With more and more thunderbolts, people in the city were now not even considering breaking out from above, because it was even more dangerous up there. Once they went up, there was no room for discussion. Countless thunderbolts kept booming, turning the entire sky into a purple thunderous sky. As long as they went to the periphery, they would all be blasted to dust.

Outside the sealed Fengling City, a white mist enveloped everything. Those who had previously escaped because of Prince Han's proclamation were now looking strangely at Fengling City, which was covered by the white mist. Fengling City was now covered by the white mist, making it impossible to see inside, and even the eerie mist could weaken divine senses and isolate sound.

Countless people outside the city were watching, waiting for the white mist to dissipate.

Inside the city, Zhongshan sat on a stone bench, looking at the increasingly numerous thunderbolts in the sky and thinking about the devastated city. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, as if he had figured something out. He gently took out a pen and started writing on the stone table in front of him.

As he wrote the words 'Fengling City,' Nian Youyou asked, "What are you thinking?"

"The Fengshui Formation hasn't been broken at all. We're still within the Fengshui Formation," Zhongshan said with absolute certainty.
