God Of Immortals

The first sight of the might of the argonians, had Jufeng's jaw hitting the floor. Really, they were terrible foes to have. Ju Feng had thought the human body cultivators had the ultimate impenetrable bodies, but the display by the argonians, was on a different level. Their bodies were like that of an ancient dragon's scales. It was almost impossible to injure them talkless of defeating them.

The most disturbing thing about them, was their battle prowess. Despite the ones here being at the Jindan level at most, they could stand toe to toe with nascent soul cultivators from Jufeng's world.

The argonians didn't attack in formation but individually. They had so much trust in their individual might. Together with the scavens, they could have overwhelmed the human cavalry, if not for a golden-core dream and illusion cultivators. They used half of their life-force to power an ancient talisman and projected a dream into the minds of the argonians and scavens. They were locked in battle with their own inner demons as they remained frozen in place.

Ju Feng was already wary of dream and illusion cultivators, but now, was frightened of their powers. They were truly terrifying.

The cavalry quickly sneaked in-between the argonians and scavens and retreated to the other side, away from the fire hydra. This changed the battle scene. The argonians and the scavens were now inbetween the fire hydra and the human cavalry. But the dream only disrupted them for a moment before it was shattered. Fortunately, the respite was enough to allow the other group of the human cavalry, led by the golden core dual cultivator, to join them in battle.

The moment the dual cultivator arrived, hundreds of spears made from pure shadow essence, were already hitting the argonians and the scavens. The shadow spears were hitting their bodies and souls. Though, their bodies were on another level, their souls were affected by the shadow essence spears. Every time he moved his hand, tens of this spears would be manifested.

That drew the attention of the leader of the argonian army. He turned to face the incoming threat with a primal hatred. He was holding a lightning infused glaive which denoted a lightning affiliated cultivator. With a loud roar, he turned to a streak of lightning and collided with the golden core cultivator. 

The air shimmered with dangerous energies as the two faced each other in a deadly battle. The thunderous sound generated from the collision of their weapons was causing ripples in the spacetime fabric. In the space of a second, they had exchanged hundreds of weapons' strikes. At this time, the remaining cultivators on both sides, stepped away from the battle area.

"That's shadow-lance."

Uttered the tattered clothed boy who was now standing beside Jufeng. 

"Huh?"

Asked Jufeng absent mindedly as he kept his eyes on the battle going on.

"Name of the spear. It's a total-grade heavenly weapon."

The dual cultivator was moving like a shadow god. It was nearly impossible to follow his movement if not for the light coming off the fire hydra.

"He's incredible."

"Shi Lingxin. Son of the city lord. They are the true descendants of the founder of the fortified city of Chanuan, Shi Guanting. He's already a world sovran in martial arts and with his spear, he's a real immortal threat."

There was no lie in the boy's words. Shi Lingxin, had already reached the Yinlong stage of martial arts, and soon, it woulde be at the Jinlong stage. He could call himself a grandmaster in martial arts at that time.

As he was fascinated by the unfolding action, Ju Feng was being pulled forward by its alluring force. The sheer beauty of powerful displays of martial and mystical arts, made him forget about the space-rippling energies that were being manifested, all around. He was already standing on the same line as the watching golden core body cultivators who were the closest to the battle.

When the spiralling energies of the weapons of the two Jindan cultivators collided through their tips, the impact emanated a massive shockwave of uncontrolled energies that knocked the cultivators on both sides flying.

Since Ju Feng was having a front view, there was no way for him to avoid the force of impact. He was sent flying, like a divine eagle, towards an area of fiery rocks and into a waiting dimensional force-field. He stood up and checked his body. His body was intact to a welcome relief. Nevertheless, he should have landed much more harder than he did. Then, he noticed the place was peaceful, no sign of the ongoing battle, at all. No sign of flames too. Where was he?

"You're in my dimensional space, mortal."

Ju Feng wheeled around at the sound of the voice to the sight of an old man in orange robe. Despite the distance, there was a powerful aura coming from the direction of the old man that depicted heavenly essence.

"In here, there's only me."

Quickly, Jufeng cupped his hand and bowed deeply.

"I meet you well, senior."

"Depends. Might not be for long."

Suddenly, the old man appeared in front of him like a mirage.

"What message do you have for me?"

Still deeply bowed, Ju Feng realized from the question that, the old man must be the new guardian of this dominion. The one he was told to find. The Dawn-Gazer! Swallowing hard from utter apprehension, he managed to continued.

"Senior, I'm lost in this fire?"

"Then, go to the Emberless grove."

"Senior, I don't know who to ask for?"

"Regallash. Any more question?"

"No, senior. Here's the scroll."

Ju Feng produced the golden scroll and handed it to the old man.

"Hm."

He gave it back to Ju Feng after reading it.

"What is it you look for?"

"Senior, this one search for the soul ring."

"Hm, the soul ring. Very well. Take that path. It will take you to a small stream of fire. Cross it and you will see a small flaming mound. It's a worldly illusion, no cultivator of Jindan level can see through it. Inside the mound, you'll find what you seek."

"Thank you, senior."

"En."

The old man looked at Ju Feng for a time before shaking his head slightly.
