Chapter 791 Petrification
As Zhong Ran's hands flew, an invisible force was drawn to her movements and gradually gathered at her fingertips.
This force was initially invisible, but gradually became tangible, displaying colors of red, black, white, blue, and gray.
These complex colors did not blend together harmoniously, but rather each held firm to its own territory.
They have clear boundaries with each other and do not infringe on each other, yet they are strangely gathered in the same space.
The overall design presents a stiff and awkward visual experience, making it seem extremely uncoordinated no matter how you look at it.
As the old man blinked and approached, her spirit ball successfully condensed and she slammed it out.
The old man was fast, and Zhong Ran was not slow either.
A deafening roar echoed as both figures were sent flying backward.
After Zhong Ran landed, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The old man was also sent flying, crashing heavily into the mountainside. He was entangled by countless black vines and remained motionless for a while.
"Ranran." Mu Jinning used his life force to quickly recover from his injuries, rushed to Zhong Ran's side, and placed one hand on her back.
A surge of vital energy flowed into her body, helping her recover from her injuries.
Zhong Ran's injuries healed quickly, and she then activated the Earth Source Pearl to locate the old man's position, quickly petrifying the soil there.
The old man was struck squarely by her palm, and all sorts of chaotic energy surged through his body.
When he was hit by the mountain, he also coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been injured.
He tried to break free, but somehow black vines appeared and wrapped around his hands, feet, and body, rendering him unable to move.
The old man was terrified. He struggled desperately, but the black vines tightened their grip, digging deep into his flesh.
He tried to circulate his spiritual power to shake off the vines, but the miscellaneous energies raged within him, making his spiritual power circulation extremely difficult and unable to exert its due power.
What terrified him even more was that the surrounding soil had hardened, becoming harder than divine iron, making his whole body ache.
He tried to forcefully suppress the chaotic power within his body, but his internal organs were throbbing with pain.
The withered old man mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and even burned some of his life force, in an attempt to break free.
He is a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage; even rocks cannot trap him.
But this time, it's completely different.
No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't break through.
Instead, the rocks seemed to possess a spirit, frantically squeezing his body.
The bones creaked and groaned, pressing inwards, making the stinging pain in the internal organs even more intense.
He let out a frantic scream, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a vine burrowed into it.
He desperately tried to stop the vines by pressing his tongue against them, but it was no use.
The vines crawled into his mouth, blocking his throat and causing a stinging pain. Breathing became increasingly difficult, and he felt his life force draining away.
The old man struggled greatly, even trying to use supernatural powers or spatial techniques to escape this cramped place.
However, his many supernatural abilities were useless at this moment, and he even felt the folding of space once again.
He suddenly remembered the legends about Panlong Mountain from the past.
Thunder Mountain is extraordinary because it is constantly struck by thunder, and no one dares to approach it or fight in the vicinity, as it would attract thunder.
Panlong Mountain is a mythical place, said to be the embodiment of a dragon, where cultivators are not allowed to fight, or they will be punished.
However, these are all just legends. No one in the world has ever experienced them, so naturally no one takes these legends to heart.
He was, after all, a Mahayana powerhouse. As long as he didn't attempt to transcend the tribulation, this continent was practically their domain.
Throughout the entire continent, there are very few people who have successfully transcended the tribulation.
Yuanzhou, this small border state, has no experts who have transcended tribulation.
Or rather, when they are about to undergo tribulation, they will go to other states to find spiritually rich places to cultivate and advance.
Even if they fail to advance, they will not return to Yuanzhou.
Therefore, these Mahayana powerhouses are like the rulers of this place. Are they afraid of a mountain?
The truth slapped him in the face.
He thought that if he made a move now, he could easily kill those three little guys, Zhong Ran.
He didn't even consider showing up.
They were just three little guys at the Void Refinement Realm; he had devoured them before.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. He shouldn't have been so arrogant as to provoke the majesty of Panlong Mountain.
This mountain is probably truly a dragon in disguise. He is now essentially inside the dragon's body, and the dragon will likely not let him go.
Only then did he want to leave his body and escape this paradise.
At that moment, a burning sensation rose within his body, and his soul felt a sharp pain.
Even on his deathbed, he would never believe that all of this was something a little girl like Zhong Ran could have accomplished.
Zhong Ran's face turned pale, and she swayed precariously.
This is how she used all her trump cards so thoroughly to deal with one person in both her past and present lives.
She was helpless; she was still too weak. The other party was shameless, sending a Mahayana cultivator to deal with these little guys.
If she doesn't use her trump cards, being seriously injured like last time would be the least of her worries. The more likely scenario is that she'll be captured by that evil sect, used as a vessel, and tortured to death.
Therefore, when she discovered that another powerful figure was lurking in the shadows, she was prepared to fight with all her might.
The Eye of Illusion is an independent entity, but she also has to pay a price when she borrows its power.
If it's just like usual, simply seeing through some past and future things, nothing will happen.
But this time, she used its power, along with her own understanding of space, to directly seal off the void, forcing people out of it.
Forcing a Mahayana expert out of the void is no easy task; it requires a great deal of effort.
Furthermore, her attack activated several source beads, and finally, she activated the earth source bead, changing the nature of the soil.
She used almost all of her trump cards, except for the power of the stars, the purple-gold dragon, and the small cauldron.
Despite her exhaustion, she still managed to bury that powerful figure forever within the belly of Panlong Mountain.
Even his soul couldn't escape; she used the power of several Origin Pearls to burn his soul to ashes as well.
"I'm fine." Her voice was very soft, with a broken, hoarse quality.
Mu Jinning picked her up and strode towards Panlong Mountain.
The rest of the people had already started climbing Panlong Mountain earlier.
Yes, it climbed up.
They were no match for such a powerful opponent, and their newly healed injuries returned.
This level of injury cannot be healed with a single pill; they need to heal themselves by circulating their internal energy.
After spending most of the day there, before nightfall, they found a cave overgrown with weeds, which was suitable for them to recuperate temporarily.
