Chapter 3820 - 3825 Nine Motherfucking Shadows!
“Sir, to be honest, there is no immortal tomb within this polar region. It’s all a lie. Within the polar region, there are many polar stones, but these are only helpful to sects and families practicing ice-based techniques. We, from the Lunarius Palace, practice frost techniques, so we’ve come to search for polar stones. And those Millers who just passed by, the female cultivators in their family also practice frost techniques, so polar stones are useful to them too! If none of you elders practice frost techniques, it’s better to leave here quickly as it’s too dangerous. It won’t be long before thousands of demon beasts rush in here, and by then, it may be impossible to leave!” John truthfully disclosed this to make these cultivators leave. After all, for John, these cultivators were an unpredictable variable.
Eldon furrowed his brows slightly, appearing somewhat shocked. A junior from the Olson family clearly didn’t believe John’s words and loudly retorted, “How is that possible? Are you trying to deceive us and monopolize the treasures of the immortal’s tomb? There are many sects and families who have come to the polar region, numbering in the hundreds. Are you saying they were all deceived?”
“Believe it or not, I’m just telling the truth!” After John finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
“This guy thinks he can scare us off like this!”
“Let’s go. This mountain that appeared suddenly must have treasures within it. Maybe this is where the immortal’s tomb is!”
“Who believes what he says? There are arcane arrays protecting this mountain. I don’t believe there are no treasures here!”
“Let’s go up the mountain…” Many cultivators didn’t believe John’s words and began to ascend the mountain one after another.
Eldon hesitated for a moment but still chose to continue up the mountain. They had been here for several days without any gains. Apart from killing a few demon beasts and obtaining some beast cores, they had found nothing else. If they were to return, wouldn’t they be the laughingstock of the family? Regardless of whether what John said was true, they decided to head up the mountain to see for themselves.
Just as they had taken a few steps, suddenly, the ground shook violently. The entire mountain seemed to be trembling.
“Is it an earthquake?” someone exclaimed in shock. Subsequently, in the chaos dimension, countless demon beasts of various kinds rushed out, heading straight for the mountain. These demon beasts were all incredibly large, and there were so many of them. The time and space of the chaos dimension were constantly disrupted by these demon beasts, causing continual emergence of space-time rifts. Occasionally, space-time rifts would suck in some demon beasts. But this did nothing to halt the advance of these demon beasts.
Upon seeing the countless demon beasts, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. It seemed that John was telling the truth. There really was a large group of demon beasts. Now, they were within this arcane array, devoid of all spiritual power. They were merely ordinary people. If these demon beasts had caught up them, they would have been trampled into a bloody pulp.
“Run!” Someone yelled out, sprinting toward the mountain with all their might, hoping to quickly escape the range of this arcane array. Everyone was running desperately, yet each step was incredibly challenging. Stepping on the accumulated snow, they could hardly move their feet.
At this point, everyone started to believe in John’s words. John merely glanced back at the beasts that had emerged from the chaos dimension. He didn’t utter a word, just continued to forge ahead with his head down. Dahlia and the others panicked and followed closely. Without spiritual power, they found it very difficult to walk, and everyone was panting heavily.
Quickly, John suddenly felt a surge of energy circulating within him. It was as if a parched riverbed finally had water flowing through it. He instantly felt a sense of relief, his steps becoming incredibly light. Dahlia and the others also felt their bodies relax as if they were relieved of a heavy burden
After glancing at the swarm of beasts at the foot of the mountain, Dahlia said, “Mr. White, we’ve left the array’s range, and our spiritual power is back. Let’s run quickly!” However, John did not make a move. After observing the terrain, he quickly began to etch array runes on the ground.
John knew that if he allowed these demon beasts to storm up the mountain, the polar stones on the mountain would be almost impossible for them to obtain. There were so many demon beasts, and the amount of polar stones needed was immense. They had gone through hardships to find these polar stones. Now that they had found them, John couldn’t just let these demon beasts take them away. John carved many offensive arrays.
The reason why John carved arrays here was also to gamble that once these demon beasts entered the array at the foot of the mountain, they would become ordinary beasts and rely solely on brute force to harm people
Boom! The horde of beasts that had emerged from the chaos dimension surged forward, reminiscent of a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, swarming in great numbers. Roars echoed, revealing the excitement of those demon beasts.
Dahlia and the others looked at the black tide approaching from below, their faces turning increasingly grim. Everyone unsheathed their frost swords, gripping them tightly in their hands. This time, it seemed like a tough battle was inevitable.
At this point, the ones who were most terrified were still the multitude of cultivators within the arcane array. They didn’t believe John’s words, but now they found themselves in this perilous situation. If they couldn’t break through the arcane array before the beast tide arrived, their death would be truly gruesome.
Everyone was scrambling up the mountain, some even resorting to using their hands and feet to climb. All sorts of methods were employed, and any semblance of a cultivator’s dignity was long gone. They were just ordinary people now. When faced with life and death, the only instinct was to flee for one’s life.
Eldon was also supported by several juniors as he continued to race up the mountain. However, the beast tide was drawing closer, and these cultivators still had quite a distance to cover before they could escape the arcane array’s range. These people looked at John and the others, and could only desperately cry for help.
“Friends, help us, please save us…” These cultivators knew that John and the others must have run out of the array’s range. That was why they stopped and were prepared to fight with their weapons. Although they were crying for help, they also knew that no one would risk rescuing them for no reason. Once inside this arcane array, even an ordinary person wouldn’t stand a chance of surviving. Simply put, it was their instinct to survive that led them to call out for help.
John gazed at the cultivators who were about to be overtaken by the beast tide, his eyes seemingly filled with resolve.
“Dahlia, you guys guard here. If these demon beasts break through the array, you must retreat immediately and continue up the mountain!” he told Dahlia.
“Mr. White, what are you going to do?” Dahlia asked in confusion.
“I’m going to save these people…” John said.
“Mr. White, don’t do anything foolish. How can you save them alone? Moreover, once you step into that array, your spiritual power will disappear, turning you into an ordinary person. What can you use to save them?” Dahlia hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
“I have my own way. Let’s see if it works!” With that, John held the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand.
“Nine Motherfucking Shadows!” With a swift swing of his Dragonslayer sword, John conjured a series of illusions. Immediately following that, six identical Johns stood together in a line. Everyone carried the same aura about them. This shocked Dahlia and the others. They simply couldn’t discern which one was the real John.
John intended for the shadow clones created by the Nine Shadows to enter the arcane array, acting as a barrier against the beast tide. However, he wasn’t sure if this arcane array would exert any suppression on his shadow clone. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t have been any suppression. After all, the strength of these shadow clones was supplied by John’s original body. As long as John’s main body wasn’t suppressed by the array, the spiritual power in his body would be used by these shadow clones. And it was precisely for this reason that John decided to give it a try.
“Ah…” Some cultivators had already been caught up by the tide of monsters and were directly trampled to death. With people being trampled to death, many cultivators became even more panicked.
John’s mind stirred, and several shadow clones instantly rushed into the array. Immediately after, he swung the Dragonslayer Sword. Sword energy soared into the sky, blocking the surging tide of beasts.
ust as John had predicted, his shadow clones were not restricted within this arcane array. Eldon and the others were taken aback when they suddenly saw multiple Johns appear, each exuding an intimidating aura that was truly terrifying. However, they didn’t have the luxury of time to be shocked at that moment. All they could do was to run for their lives.
With John holding them back, the remaining cultivators all managed to run out of the arcane array safely. When their spiritual power returned, everyone was gasping for breath. At that very moment, John’s several shadow clones were also overwhelmed by the beast outbreak John hadn’t given his all. He was conserving his energy to use on this arcane array.
Upon raising his hand, John set off a series of arcane arrays. These arcane arrays surged with lethal intent, seemingly ready to annihilate anything that dared to intrude. John held the Dragonslayer Sword as the Golem Body covered his entire body. A golden colossal dragon roared, encircling John. Walls of fire rose from the ground, blocking the path of the oncoming beast tide!
Dahlia and her companions each held frost swords in their hands, their energies converging together as one. This was going to be a fierce battle! The beast tide was drawing nearer, the distinct scent of blood from those demon beasts was clearly discernible. These demon beasts roared fearlessly, seemingly without any trepidation as though they had gone mad. As the saying goes, “Men will do anything to succeed.”
These demon beasts were risking their lives for the sake of the polar stones. After many cultivators had recovered, they took off without so much as a backward glance, showing not the slightest bit of gratitude toward John. However, some of the cultivators brandished their weapons, seemingly ready to join forces in resisting this onslaught of beasts.
A junior from the Eldon family asked helplessly, “Mr. Eldon, what should we do?” Facing tens of thousands of beasts, they were all scared and wanted to escape as soon as possible. But Eldon remained still, and they dared not move either. Eldon glanced at John, then took in their surroundings. His voice was icy as he stated, “Prepare for battle. Even if we flee to the mountains, we won’t be able to escape these beasts unless we deal with them first.”
Eldon led many juniors from the Eldon family who had also successively drawn their weapons.
John’s body hovered in the air, countless spiritual lights bursting forth as all the arrays were activated. Walls of fire stood in the way of the demon beasts, yet, these beasts charged fearlessly.
Dahlia and her companions were unleashing frost blades, reaping the lives of the demon beasts. Frost blades filled the sky, descending like a snowstorm.
Numerous cultivators had also taken to the skies, ceaselessly brandishing a variety of weapons in their hands. A multitude of demon beasts fell in droves, yet the ones behind continued their relentless charge forward. These demon beasts seemed to have been restrained by the arcane array, unable to utilize various techniques. They could only rely on brute force to charge.
The horde of demon beasts, as relentless as the tide, quickly broke through the first few lines of fire walls with overwhelming force. The fire nascence star within John had significantly dimmed. Those recent walls of fire had nearly drained John’s fire nascence to exhaustion.
Immediately, radiant light illuminated, and the Death Trap Formation laid out by John had already been activated. The charging beasts were all slaughtered. However, there were too many beasts. Even though there was a Death Trap Formation set up, those fearless beasts kept rushing in relentlessly.
At the same time, these demon beasts regained their abilities, each one spewing a white mist. An endless chill formed a wall of fog, rolling relentlessly toward John and his companions. Underneath the chill fog, John’s Death Trap Formation was swiftly breached.
Seeing the situation, John swung his Dragonslayer Sword with all his might. The Golden Dragon roared, spewing streams of fire from its mouth. One after another, demon beasts were engulfed by the flames.
At the same time, when the fire made contact with the chilling mist, it transformed into countless raindrops that fell from the sky.
As John swung the Dragonslayer Sword, he fiercely waved his hand. Thunderclouds began to gather in the sky, creating a thunderous rumble
“Thunder Palm!” A massive palm slowly took shape, crackling with lightning as it descended with thunderous force. Bolts of lightning struck the demon beasts, instantly reducing them to ashes
Many cultivators were quite astonished by John’s Thunder Palm. Now that they had regained their spiritual power, they could discern John’s cultivation level. He was merely a Third Level Tribulator, yet the power he demonstrated was truly astonishing.
Dahlia and her companions were also fervently battling the demon beasts. They were simply at the forefront, facing a horde of demon beasts that fearlessly charged at them. This relentless onslaught left Dahlia and her companions feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
When John saw the situation, his nascence star flickered. He used the illusion nascence directly to set up an illusion array right in front of Dahlia and the others. Although the illusion arcane array didn’t have much lethal power, it was capable of impeding the pace and speed of the demon beasts. Sure enough, once these demon beasts charged into the illusion array, they all became sluggish in their movements, as if they were headless flies that had lost their way. This also allowed Dahlia and the others to catch their breath.
Eldon, along with the Olson family and other remaining cultivators, valiantly held back the onslaught of beasts. Eldon, possessing the power of a Ninth Level Tribulator, moved his palms in a dance. From the folds of his robe, countless shadows flew out. Following this, the dark figures transformed into puppets, much like robots, and charged at the demon beasts.
Even when swarmed by demon beasts, no one backed down. The ground was already littered with countless bodies of demon beasts. Blood flowed like a river, staining the once pristine white snow into a deep shade of red. The overpowering scent of blood was so intense that even those accustomed to carnage were finding it hard to bear. However, the sight of beast cores scattered all over the ground was enough to stir up people’s greed.
Among these fallen demon beasts, some of their bodies burst open, with their beast cores scattering on the ground. It was worth noting that each beast has a beast core inside its body. With so many beasts dead, extracting the beast cores later would also be a considerable resource. Many people fought to the death and refused to retreat, presumably for reasons like this. Who wouldn’t want to get some beast cores? However, it seemed as if the demon beasts were endless. They simply couldn’t vanquish them all. This kind of battle undoubtedly consumed the most spiritual power.
Some cultivators had no choice but to consume pills while desperately resisting. The illusion array that John had laid out had momentarily slowed down the demon beast. However, the array soon reached its limit and could no longer hold up. After all, the strength of the illusion array that was hastily set up wasn’t particularly high.
As the illusion array was breached, the pressure on Dahlia and the other holy maidens dramatically increased. Demon beasts began to charge into their line of sight, engaging in close combat with Dahlia and her companions. Some holy maidens had started to get hurt.
“Yvonne, what should we do?” Dahlia was drenched in sweat, looking somewhat helplessly toward Yvonne.
At this moment, Yvonne was also desperate. How would she know what to do? The seemingly endless horde of demon beasts felt as if they could never be fully vanquished. They were all nearly at their breaking point. Even if they had the determination, their bodies had reached their limits. Without spiritual power support, their efforts were futile.
“Retreat, everyone retreat…” Hovering in mid-air, John could already see that Dahlia and the others had reached their limits. If they continued like this, they would sooner or later die under the iron hooves of those beasts. John had underestimated the strength of these demon beasts.
Dahlia and the others exchanged a glance, then began to quickly retreat. However, those demon beasts were relentlessly pursuing them, forcing Dahlia and her companions to fight while retreating.
Eldon too, wore an expression of helplessness. With a sweeping gesture of his hand, he commanded, “Retreat to the top of the mountain immediately!”
Eldon knew that if they persisted, they would probably all perish. Upon witnessing the scene, the other cultivators also started retreating one after the other. As for the beast cores on the ground, they could only hope for another White to retrieve them. The dragon crystal on John’s chest flickered intensely, as all kinds of powers were desperately in motion.
Palm prints descended from mid-air, striking those demon beasts. John had to momentarily halt these demon beasts, otherwise Dahlia and her companions wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping.
Dahlia and the others were desperately fleeing, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
“What’s going on?” At the mountaintop, Selma looked in the direction of the mountain foot, her brows furrowed. At that moment, she saw the unceasing roars from the foot of the mountain. The sky was filled with intertwining spiritual energy, along with all sorts of shimmering lights.
“Ms. Selma, there’s a beast tide attacking from below, and John is leading people to resist it,” Marc stepped forward and said.
“This kid actually dares to confront the beast tide head-on. He doesn’t know chalk from cheese.” Selma chuckled coldly and then ordered, “Don’t bother with him; I doubt they’ll make it up the mountain alive. Right now, you need to gather your men and start collecting the polar stones immediately. Additionally, locate the entrance to the polar stone mine and gather as many polar stones as possible. If we wait for this wave of beasts to flood the mountains, we’ll lose our chance. Selma knew that these beasts were definitely coming for the polar stones.
“Yes!” Marc nodded and began to lead people to collect the polar stones.
At that moment, John was still fervently battling the demon beasts. Dahlia and her group had already managed to put some distance between themselves and the beasts behind them. Eldon and the others had also retreated to the top of the mountain.
At that moment, John was alone, wielding the Dragonslayer sword. Amidst the thunder and lightning that filled the heavens and earth, he was relentlessly slaying the demon beasts. Everyone stared blankly at John, their eyes filled with surprise and shock. One man against a multitude of beasts!
As a Ninth Level Tribulator, Eldon didn’t even have such courage! However, at that moment, only John himself knew that he too wanted to retreat, but he was held back by the beast tide, completely unable to escape. John was no fool. He knew his place. There was no way he could hold back this beast outbreak on his own.
At that time, John was deeply engulfed in a swarm of beasts, desperately trying to carve out a path of escape. However, the number of demon beasts kept increasing. The overwhelming frost energy gradually obscured John’s figure. If John didn’t have the demonic fire soul essence, he would have been frozen by this frost energy long ago. This was the frost energy spewed out by tens of thousands of beasts. The Golem Body on John’s body had completely shattered, and blood streaks appeared on John’s strong body
“Damn it, do I have to die like this?” John was at a loss for words. He had just been saved by Mr. Sanders from the chaos dimension, and now he was trapped in the beast tide again. This time, Mr. Sanders probably wouldn’t save him.
Just as John mechanically wielded the Dragonslayer Sword, his various auras gradually weakened. Suddenly, a flash of light burst from the Storage Ring. The little Celestial Devourer yawned and ran out, obviously just waking up.
The moment the little Celestial Devourer appeared, the originally ferocious and violent demon beasts suddenly became quiet The densely packed demon beasts all looked at the little Celestial Devourer in front of them.
Roar… Suddenly, the Celestial Devourer roared angrily! This roar directly shook the heavens and the earth, causing the mountains to collapse. Amidst the thunderous roar of the Celestial Devourer, the tide of beasts astonishingly began to retreat. Then they turned around and ran away.
Tens of thousands of beasts were actually scared away by the Celestial Devourer’s roar. This little Celestial Devourer was very small was quite petite. Compared to those demon beasts that span several yards, it was practically an ant. Despite its small size, the Celestial Devourer scared away thousands of beasts with a roar
“What kind of roar is this? Is it a beast lord?”
“So terrifying. This roar almost shattered my heart.”
“We’re done for. I’m afraid this might be the end for us.” Many cultivators’ expressions changed drastically when they heard the roar of the Celestial Devourer.
Eldon and others also trembled, their eyes filled with horror. Dahlia and the others turned around, their eyes drawn to the frost energy enveloping the foot of the mountain. They were all on edge, worried for John.
John heaved a long sigh of relief, his gaze fixed on the Celestial Devourer, overjoyed beyond words. This little one is already so impressive at such a small size. If it grows up, who knows how powerful it’ll become? However, it eats too much! It’s swallowing anything and everything, but it just wouldn’t gain weight
“Brat, don’t even think about taking my Celestial Devourer. I’ve restored my physical body, and I plan to ride it across the celestial realm.” Vermilion Demon Lord, aware of John’s thoughts, quickly spoke up.
“This Celestial Devourer is found by me. Your Celestial Devourer has been dead for a while now.” John didn’t believe that Celestial Devourer was actually Vermilion Demon Lord’s.
Vermilion Demon Lord was momentarily speechless. However, he realized it was indeed John who had found that little Celestial Devourer. Thus, he began to discuss matters with John.
“Brat, let’s make a deal. Until I recover my physical body, you can use it while you’re in Ethereal Realm. Once I’ve regained my physical body, you’ll have to return it to me. By then, you’ll have just ascended into immortals, penniless. You won’t be able to afford to keep it.” If others were to find out a Demon Lord was negotiating with a Third Level Tribulator cultivator, it would shock them to no end.
“All right then.” John nodded in agreement. It seemed that John really couldn’t afford to maintain that Celestial Devourer. Looking at the demon beast corpses scattered all over the ground, John was extremely thrilled. After all, each one of those bodies contained a beast core. With so many beast cores, John had enough to use for quite a while.
Ignoring the Celestial Devourer, John bent over to start collecting the beast cores. He started using Dragonslayer Sword to dissect the bodies of the demon beasts, retrieving the beast’s core.
Suddenly, the tiny Celestial Devourer let out a roar, immediately followed by opening its enormous mouth. Suddenly, the entire sky changed its color. The gaping mouth of Celestial Devourer was akin to a black hole, filled with a powerful pull.
Before John could react, the bodies of the demon beasts and their beast cores were swiftly devoured by the Celestial Devourer. In just a blink of an eye, all that remained on the ground was the vivid red stain of blood. The bodies of the demon beasts, along with their beast cores, were nowhere to be found.
John was dumbfounded. Celestial Devourer, having let out a satisfied belch, returned to the Storage Ring to sleep. John couldn’t help but let out a curse.
“Fuck!” Despite risking his life to slay so many demon beasts, he shockingly received nothing in return. Although the beast outbreak had been scared off by the Celestial Devourer, it had devoured all the beast cores. That was rather unfair in John’s eyes as he believed some should’ve been shared with him.
At that moment, John was beyond words. Vermilion Demon Lord looked at John’s utterly despondent expression and burst into uproarious laughter.
“I told you that you couldn’t afford to keep it. You’re already fighting over things with it when it’s this small.” John could only sigh, slowly making his way up the hill.
At that moment, the chill mist had already dissipated. Everyone saw that the foothills were no longer under the assault of the beast outbreak, becoming incredibly tranquil. Only the silhouette of John was slowly ascending the hill. It was as if the outbreak of beasts had suddenly vanished.
Upon witnessing the situation, Dahlia and the others hurriedly rushed toward John.
Eldon, along with the other cultivators, all hurriedly ran downward. If the beast outbreak had receded, the scattered corpses of the demon beasts would then become a resource. Every demon beast’s corpse contained a beast core, after all. However, when they ran closer, they realized there was no sign of the demon beast corpses on the ground, let alone the beast cores. They had completely vanished.
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how the demon beast corpses scattered all over the ground could just disappear without a trace. Therefore, everyone’s attention was directed toward John. They were really curious about where all the bodies of the demon beasts had gone. There was no way John could have made those demon beast corpses disappear in an instant.
Dahlia’s group hurried over, expressing their concern to John. “Mr. White, are you all right?” John gave a light laugh and said, “I’m fine, I’ve just expended a lot of energy. A little rest should do the trick.”
“Sir, thank you for stepping in to save us. We are eternally grateful.” Eldon walked up to John, expressing his gratitude sincerely
. I'll take it and lock my door for a week.
, I'm loyal and very gentle. But you know dreams are achievable right 
?
. But some dreams can be unreal like the fantasies here but you can choose to dominate different market like finance, Technologies, etc or political power in real world. But compared to this novels there are no spiritual energy or sort to achieve this results
