Chapter 240: The Battle for the Boundary Stone

Qing Yao flew for another hour and, seeing no one pursuing from behind, sneered coldly before heading toward an uninhabited planet.

The planet had no atmosphere for protection, and the scorching temperature baked his body, yet Qing Yao remained completely unfazed.

With a wave of his hand, a pit appeared on the ground, and Qing Yao dove into it without hesitation.

The ground writhed, and the deep pit automatically filled itself.

“My Feather Clan has its own Concealment cultivation method that even high-rank spiritual masters cannot detect. This time, the Four Directions Boundary Stone should be absolutely safe.”

Thinking this, Qing Yao couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth upward, already imagining the scene of entering the Four Directions Realm.

“Tsk tsk, the legendary Law realm, where even fools have a chance to grasp a trace of its mysteries, benefiting endlessly. As long as I, Qing Yao, keep a low profile and avoid provoking Tenth Rank existences, I’m sure to gain something. Perhaps I can even achieve another breakthrough in my Law, and attaining the Tenth Rank Feather God in the future will be no problem!”

Thinking this, Qing Yao nearly drooled from the corners of his mouth.

However.

“Huh? Why did the aura disappear here?”

“It’s that kid’s voice!” Qing Yao’s heart tightened, recognizing Jiang Yan’s tone.

“Damn it, how did they find this place? Didn’t I use a Concealment secret technique?”

“It must be a coincidence!”

Qing Yao warned himself inwardly, choosing to trust his clan’s secret technique, believing that these people had only stumbled upon this planet by accident.

“Kid, where’s the birdman you mentioned? Are you trying to deceive us?”

A Transcendent scrutinized Jiang Yan with an unfriendly expression.

“Haha, how would I know? Could he be underground?”

Jiang Yan laughed and stomped on the ground a couple of times, as if unintentionally.

Qing Yao underground: ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞

The green-skinned Transcendent sensed around. “No, there’s no one below.”

Qing Yao: (^ワ^) (This is a cheerful emoticon, often translated as a happy smile or a cute grin.)

“Shall we go then?” Jiang Yan asked, stomping on the ground two more times.

“Wait!”

A Transcendent covered in flames carefully examined the planet.

“To be safe, it’s better to burn this planet.”

Jiang Yan gave the fire guy an approving look and shrugged. “I have no objections.”

Each of them harbored their own schemes, but ultimately, out of caution, they decided to destroy the entire planet.

The fire guy stepped back, a massive fireball hanging in mid-air, its scorching aura instantly baking the earth.

“Damn it! How dare they play me!”

Qing Yao shot up into the sky, naturally unwilling to watch himself be burned to death.

“Hahahaha, so he really is here! Take this from your Fire God grandpa!”

The fireball roared toward him.

Qing Yao’s face twisted ferociously as his giant wings flapped, stirring up hurricanes that turned the flames into towering tornadoes shooting into the sky.

Whoosh! Qing Yao tried to escape again.

“Hahahaha, I knew you’d try to run!”

The green-skinned one raised a hand, and the entire planet opened sharp fangs, swallowing everyone into its belly.

“Spirit Summoning Technique!”

“You’ve refined your Law to this level?”

A burly Transcendent exclaimed in shock, staring at the planet transformed into a Spirit Beast in disbelief.

“Hahahahaha, how could you mere mortals guess the extent of my Law techniques?”

The next moment, the world turned dark as everyone was imprisoned within.

Jiang Yan observed this and silently retreated to the farthest corner.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

But the others were.

Everyone present had been geniuses among geniuses in their youth, yet even so, they found it difficult to make further progress after reaching the Ninth Rank.

Now, the key to the Four Directions Realm was right here, and the opportunity for advancement was within reach. How could they not feel anxious?

“Green-Skin Snake, don’t push things too far!”

“Hahahaha, die for me!”

The planet Spirit Beast churned with rolling magma deep within, and countless sharp stones protruded from its walls, first targeting the Feather Clan’s Qing Yao, who held the jade stone.

Qing Yao roared in anger and simply transformed into his true form.

“Green-Skin Snake, you forced my hand!”

Qing Yao’s true form was a colossal Kunpeng, and with just one flap of its wings, the heavens and earth shook as countless hurricanes coiled around the Spirit Beast’s abdomen.

“Today, no one will take the Boundary Stone from me!”

“Ha!”

The magma in the planet Spirit Beast’s belly was swept into the sky by arrogant hurricanes, indiscriminately attacking everything around.

Seeing this, the fire guy no longer held back. Flames surged around him, rapidly forming a dazzling star at his side.

“Explode for me!”

The flames erupted, attacking everyone present indiscriminately.

Jiang Yan watched with excitement, marveling at how real Laws were far stronger than his own half-baked ones.

Using a planet as a Spirit Beast.

Transforming a star into wrath.

Such Heaven-Reaching methods were truly awe-inspiring.

Jiang Yan silently activated the Life and Death Law, drilled a hole in the rocky wall, and slipped inside.

Let them fight first; Jiang Yan was in no hurry.

Outside, the battle had reached a fever pitch, with everyone determined to seize the opportunity to advance further.

Qing Yao was besieged by four other Transcendents, suffering immensely.

His wings were broken, and countless spurts of blood splashed into the magma, raising towering pillars of fire as high as mountains.

Jiang Yan used the Chaos Void World to form a Small World around himself and continuously drilled holes inside the planet Spirit Beast.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan finally saw the light of day again.

Inside the planet, the battle raged on.

“So intense. I wonder who will win?”

Jiang Yan stayed far away, observing from a distance with his Spiritual Power.

But the fighting inside was too fierce, and for a moment, Jiang Yan couldn’t tell who was who.

Boom!

A hurricane of fire pillars shot into the sky, shattering the planet Spirit Beast transformed by the green-skinned Transcendent’s Spirit Summoning Technique.

Now, the entire planet returned to its original form, but it was already scarred and dilapidated, with black, acrid smoke rising everywhere.

Jiang Yan moved even farther away.

Boom!

Several more beams of light shot into the sky as the five figures fought from the planet to the Starry Sky, and from the Starry Sky to other planets.

At that moment, on a low-level Transcendent Civilization planet.

“Look, Immortals are fighting!”

The planet’s inhabitants pointed at the sky, where five rapidly flashing lights intertwined and collided.

“Boom!”

The sky was shattered into fragments.

“Ahhh, it’s falling!”

The spectators on the planet suffered an unjust disaster, turning to ashes in the aftermath of the battle.

The low-level Transcendent Civilization—annihilated!

The lights intertwined and moved on to fight on another planet.

“Who dares to invade my Divine Fire Star!”

The Star Lord flew into the Starry Sky, intending to stop these uninvited guests.

“Shut up!”

The five Transcendents spoke in unison, and this barely Eighth Rank Peak Star Lord was instantly pierced by a hurricane before a fireball flew over, turning him into a wisp of black smoke mid-air.

Five Ninth Rank Transcendents, each possessing control over Laws, could be considered overlords of small Star Domains. As long as they didn’t encounter Tenth Rank Transcendents, they could practically walk sideways anywhere.

Jiang Yan watched this scene with deep meaning.

“I wonder how many more times the Boundary Stone will resonate…”

If the next one to hunt him down was a Martial God-level existence, would he still have a chance to survive like he did now?

“Haha, five Seniors, it seems you’ll have to keep this Boundary Stone for a while longer.”

Because the duration of the [Law of the Jungle] is infinite.
