Chapter 1499

It was normal for a mountain peak to block their path. Along the way, they had not seen anything other than mountains.

However, the mountain peak in front of them was too eye-catching.

To be precise, it was not a mountain peak, but an irregular pillar.

It was the pillar that held up the sky.

Everyone looked up, but they could not see the peak of the mountain at all. It was like a pillar that held up the sky.

"Such a huge mountain peak, how strong is the mountain spirit inside?" Man Shi looked up at the peak and sighed.

"Maybe it can't be called a mountain spirit anymore." Tian Ming looked at the mountain peak in front of them and said.

"If it's not a mountain spirit, what should it be called?" Wu Xie was puzzled.

"It can be called a king of mountain spirits, or an awakened mountain spirit." Shn Tiandao's eyes gradually became serious.

"The mountain spirits we met along the way had their consciousness protected by a force. I couldn't control them. Maybe the source of that force is here." Dong Qing's clear voice sounded not far away.

"Force protection?" Zi Chen looked back, puzzled.

Dong Qing nodded, her beautiful eyes full of confidence. Then she said, "This is just my guess, but I'm sure that without the protection of that force, I can try to control some mountain spirits."

When Dong Qing finished speaking, everyone was surprised.

It was true that a beast tamer could control beasts, but those mountain spirits were not battle beasts.

This sentence was transmitted to the outside world. The old man said decisively, "Tell them to think of a way to kill this big guy. Once you control these mountain spirits, your strength will increase greatly."

The old man's order was unnecessary. In this matter, Zi Chen naturally had his own plans and would not miss it.

"Retreat, retreat quickly." Zi Chen's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears.

Everyone, including Zi Chen, retreated backward.

"Man Shi, Wu Xie, Shn Tiandao … You guys go and clean up the other mountain spirits in the surroundings. Be careful."

Zi Chen began to call out names.

There were dangers everywhere in this place. Whether or not they could make it out alive was another matter altogether. Zi Chen was not one to be pretentious. He directly called out the names of the few who had the title and gave orders as the leader.

"Dark Mantle, Qingcheng, Wushuang, you guys go too."

The names that Zi Chen pointed out were the ones with the highest combat strength in the group. These people were obviously more efficient and less dangerous.

Everyone, including the Dark Mantle, nodded and flew in all directions.

As for Shuntian and the others, they had already left.

Seeing that Zi Chen's orders were carried out so easily, and seeing that all the titled individuals obeyed Zi Chen's orders, the others were surprised. Their admiration for Zi Chen grew, and they no longer had any thoughts of disloyalty.

"Jinmeng, Golden Gorilla, Xiong Ba, the nine of you follow him. Be careful."

Zi Chen was still taking attendance.

Outside of this towering mountain, there were other mountain peaks. Although these mountain peaks did not reach the sky, they were still much taller than the ones they encountered along the way. They required experts to deal with them.

Hammer and the other two did not make a move along the way, even if there were several human cultivators in life-threatening situations.

Although the three of them did not say it, Zi Chen could guess that the three of them did not leave them in the lurch. They were probably under some kind of restriction. The result of making a move would definitely be greater than the result of saving people.

Mountain peaks were broken open by force, and mountain spirits were captured one after another. Shuntian and the others carried out Zi Chen's mission perfectly.

Rumbling sounds continued to sound, and mountain peaks disappeared one after another.

Under the rumbling sounds, the giant mountain peak in front did not have the slightest reaction. It stood between heaven and earth like a pillar supporting the sky.

The mountain spirits around were quickly cleaned up.

The mountain peak, which was already conspicuous, stood alone, like a pillar supporting the sky.

Everyone gathered, and their eyes were fixed on the mountain peak in front of them. Their next target was naturally that mountain peak.

Before Zi Chen and the others could make the first move, five black holes suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain. Thick chain-like energy shot out from the five black holes, heading towards the five people in front of the group.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

The light was very fast, so fast that no one could react, or it could be said that there was no time to react.

The five people in front were directly enveloped by the light and were entangled by the chains.

Among them were Zi Chen and the other four titled cultivators.

As the light was entangled, Zi Chen and the others felt their strength drain away. This move was very similar to the Demon Ape of the Tianwu Continent, but it was relatively weaker. If one was enveloped by the Demon Ape's move, their strength would be completely drained in an instant.

As the power was greatly weakened, the chains dragged the five people toward the five black holes.

Seeing this scene, everyone's face was filled with shock.

"Buzz."

Energy vibrated. Jin Qingcheng's entire body was enveloped by a golden light. The golden light was dazzling and contained an extremely strong destructive power. This power surged on the surface of Jin Qingcheng's body. After that, it formed a shockwave that spread out in all directions.

The entangled light was instantly shaken away from Jin Qingcheng's body. Then, a sharp golden light flashed, and the light that shot out from the black holes was instantly cut in half.

Jin Qingcheng successfully escaped the envelopment of the energy light, and stood in the air, her body shining with a dazzling golden light.

She was the first to break free.

After that, it was Hidden Mist Shadow's turn. His entire body was enveloped by the light, and his body was like an illusion. In an instant, he disappeared from where he stood. The light that enveloped him directly passed through Hidden Mist Shadow's illusory body. Then, Hidden Mist Shadow, who had materialized, raised his hand and shot out a beam of light that shattered the light.

Next was Fortune Teller. He just pointed at the energy light a few times, and the energy light began to twitch, forming a tight encirclement. Immediately, Fortune Teller's body flashed out.

"Boom!"

On the other side, Shendao forcefully shattered the energy light. His figure stood in the air, tall and straight. Under the rough linen clothes, he had a resolute and firm temperament.

The four of them had their own methods, and one by one, they broke free from the energy encirclement. This scene amazed everyone, and they all thought that it was no wonder they were titled cultivators. Each of their methods were extraordinary.

But soon, everyone strangely found that one person was missing.

The energy light had enveloped five people, but at this moment, only four of them had escaped. Apart from the four titled cultivators, only the leader, Zi Chen, was left.

Everyone felt that something was wrong. They looked over and saw that Zi Chen was being enveloped by the light and was being pulled toward the black hole.

Such a scene caused everyone to cry out in surprise.

One had to know that Zi Chen had shown absolute strength before, and this strength was not weaker than a titled cultivator. But now, all the titled cultivators had escaped, so why was Zi Chen still unable to break free?

Could it be that Zi Chen's strength was restrained by this energy?

Everyone was puzzled. Even when Zi Chen disappeared into the black hole, they still did not see Zi Chen break free.

"Save him!"

A cultivator shouted. He raised his hand and struck out a force. After this force appeared, it turned into a giant blade and slashed at the mountain in front of them.

Clang.

The giant blade slashed at the mountain, and there was a loud clang and sparks flew.

This strike only left a white mark on a rock on the mountain peak.

Such a defense made many people's expressions change.

Then, the others attacked. Clang after clang sounded, and few people could break the mountain rocks.

Looking at this scene, Shuntian shook his head and sighed, "In this aspect, I am indeed not as good as Zi Chen."

Fortune Teller nodded and said, "Zi Chen's wisdom is outstanding. I can't help but admire him."

The Shadow in the Mist looked at the disappearing black hole and said, "Knowing that he can't break it from the outside, he decisively went inside. Such courage and courage is deeply admirable."

The more time they spent with Zi Chen, the more they felt that Zi Chen was mysterious. For a long time, even Fortune Teller could not see through Zi Chen, nor could he predict Zi Chen's future.

As for the deduction and variables mentioned before, it was purely Fortune Teller's nonsense. That was because they saw the nervousness in Zi Chen's heart, and they just wanted to make Zi Chen feel better.

The Mountain Upholding Mountain blocking the way was undoubtedly the biggest problem they had encountered. The few Titled Ones had already seen the uniqueness of the mountain and its strong defense. It was simply unrealistic to break this mountain from the outside.

They could only do it from the inside. But before that, they felt that they needed to discuss who should go in. But they did not expect Zi Chen to go in so decisively.

Hammer and the other two were silent. Someone must go in, and Zi Chen went in. This was a relatively perfect answer.

Outside, when everyone saw Zi Chen go in, they also fell into silence.

Next, they would be like the people inside, unable to see what was going on inside. They could only wait quietly.

The energy light disappeared with Zi Chen. Perhaps it was because they felt Zi Chen's strength and terror, the other four black holes also disappeared.

The energy light dragged Zi Chen in. During this time, the light kept wriggling, like a giant python or a tight chain, trying to break Zi Chen's body.

At the same time, there was a strange power surging above the energy light. This power wanted to devour the power in Zi Chen's body.

Zi Chen's expression was calm. He retracted all his power and let the energy chains do whatever they wanted.

But Zi Chen's body was like a solid iron block. After the energy chains wrapped around Zi Chen, they reached a limit and could no longer shrink.

As for absorbing power, that was even more impossible. Zi Chen did not have any power to dissipate, so how could he absorb it?

Unable to do anything to Zi Chen, the energy chains could only bring Zi Chen into the depths of the mountain.

It was a huge space with smooth mountain walls on all sides. It was like a cage. Dots of light shone from above, giving the dark cage a little luster, making it dim.

Arriving at this place that seemed to be a cage, Zi Chen's expression was still calm. On the surface of Zi Chen's body, the energy chains were still wrapping around him.

"You're the leader of the humans, but you're nothing much." An indifferent voice suddenly rang out from this space.

Next, wave after wave of energy appeared from all directions and converged on Zi Chen.

Under the encirclement of these energies, Zi Chen's surroundings instantly turned into an airtight energy sphere. The energy chains wrapped around him were still wriggling and taut.

Zi Chen was now completely immobile.
