Sanctification begins from the fruit of the years

Chapter 387: Collecting the Eighth Mountain and River Cauldron, the lost human treasure returns home
Rumble!
Collapse, destruction, death and withering...

The sighs of various dead people echoed between heaven and earth, and the entire White Tiger Immortal City began to collapse in distortion.

Countless sword energies were raging, destroying the heaven and earth, and were full of irresistible destructive power.

Houses were flattened, buildings were annihilated, and countless practitioners turned into blood mist under this sword. Their souls escaped, but they were also torn apart by the sword energy, and they perished completely!

Even the Immortal Lord, even the powerful one, could only flee in fear.

They fled towards the outside of White Tiger Immortal City. They only had this courage left, and they no longer even had the courage to turn back and take back the place.

It was too terrifying. This sword... exceeded the limit they could imagine.

The energy of the two top sources is fused and intertwined, and then completely released. What kind of terrifying method is this?

How could anyone in the world be able to use such means? !

terrible!

However, this is the Cosmic Sword Wheel.

It was Anle's most powerful killing method so far. In order to win the battle quickly, he didn't hold back at all, and it was his killing move as soon as he took action.

The Erhua mind of the Erfu Immortal King is very powerful, but in such a terrifying cosmic sword wheel, there is only tragic withering left!
The sound of miserable howls erupted, and countless sword energies were like being riddled with holes, cutting his Erhua mind into pieces.

The blood of the soul is constantly thrown away, shining like a steaming cloud.

But this brilliance is full of the color of death.

It means a death is erupting.

This explosion lasted for a long time, but in fact, it only lasted a moment.

When countless sword energy raged past, the extremely prosperous White Tiger Immortal City had become a building in ruins, shattered and destroyed. Even the powerful formations had long lost their effectiveness and were completely scrapped.

An Le floated in the air, white clothes flying, Mo Chi returned at his wave, and was worn by him on his waist, with a calm and indifferent expression.

Hanbao Yingqin had already regained his clarity of mind and had withdrawn from the crazy state controlled by Hanbao. Looking at this scene at the moment, he felt a little numb and confused.

This situation was indeed beyond his expectation.

However, the peace and happiness of the supreme realm can actually explode with such powerful power.

No wonder...no wonder An Le said he had the confidence to come to the White Tiger Family.

It turned out that the artist was bold.

However, it turns out that Anle already has such confidence.

After all, the Erfu Immortal King has been killed by him. The biggest threat in the ancestral land of White Tiger Immortal City is this Erfu Immortal King whose mind has reached the level of Erhua.

Now that the Erfu Immortal King has fallen, the real threat no longer exists.

Unless the Three Talisman Immortal King rushes back quickly.

However, the other party went to Nanhu Immortal City and was blocked by the Pavilion Master of Baixiao Pavilion. He should not return so soon in a short period of time.

The opponent is the Three Talisman Immortal King. Although the Pavilion Master of Baixiao Pavilion is only the Second Talisman Immortal King, he still has some strength to become the leader of a first-rate force.

Therefore, the ancestral land of the White Tiger Family... was breached by them!

The two elders of Baixiao Pavilion were completely confused.

They never imagined that they would be lucky enough to witness such a feat.

"The city is broken..."

The elder murmured.

In the past, when he first met Anle, Anle was just an ordinary eleventh realm strongman. Although he could kill the Immortal King, it... didn't surprise him too much.

But now, Anle can kill the Erfu Immortal King!
With the supreme state, kill two Fu Immortal Kings!
Is this the genius who truly stands at the top of the Three Realms?

You must know that no one who can become the Erfu Immortal King and understand the spiritual power of Erhua is weak. In terms of talent, he surpasses most practitioners.

However, such a being is still surpassed by the younger generation, becoming a being for others to fight for and becoming a background.

Sure enough, there is no most genius, only more genius!

"Tidy up, we can't waste too much time."

"Now the ancestral land of the White Tiger Family has been completely opened to us."

"Search for treasures and search for resources."

"Quick fight."

Anle said calmly, his voice made everyone wake up from their confusion, and everyone's eyes were filled with sparkle.

Even Ying Qin has bright eyes.

The inner settlement was completely solved. Back then, the Shangwanbaihu Family made a strong move to wipe out the strong men in the world and destroy the cities in the world. The powerful Ying Qin Empire was destroyed as a result.

Even if he was as powerful as him at the time, he would have the opportunity to impact the twelve realms of the human world in the future and become a saint, but he would be severely damaged by this and die in depression.

That was something he couldn't let go of.

But today, I was able to take revenge.

Although it only destroyed the fairy city, it was enough for Ying Qin. Even Ying Qin knew very well how powerful the White Tiger Family was.

That was a great ancient family of immortals, the real top power. The longer they stayed in the sky, the clearer they became about the dominance of the top power. It was a powerful and overbearing force that could stifle the upward path of all forces.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the foundation of the top forces is too deep.

Ying Qin could not see the time when the White Tiger family would be destroyed and the White Tiger family would truly pay the price for their arrogance.

The reason why the White Tiger Fairy City was able to be destroyed now was because of Anle's extraordinary combat power.

It unleashed a terrifying method that broke out from the fusion of two top sources.

It is simply impossible to completely eliminate the White Tiger Family in the future.

Anle's killing of the Erfu Immortal King who understood the spiritual realm of Erhua was already the ultimate performance.

And the White Tiger Family not only has the Second Talisman Immortal King with the Erhua spiritual realm, but also the Three Talisman Immortal King, and even the half-step limit Holy Master!
What's more, the Immortal Ancient Family is not only the White Tiger Family, but also the other four Immortal Ancient Aristocratic Families such as Suzaku and Qinglong.

If they were to unite, they would be so terrifying that Ying Qin wouldn't even have the courage to challenge.

Therefore, Ying Qin is already somewhat satisfied.

"Pack up the harvest, don't waste this attack."

An Le said.

After finishing his words, he took the lead to take action.

His first target must be Shanhe Cauldron.

The Mountain and River Cauldron that was sealed in the ancestral land was what he needed to take back the most.

This treasure was taken into the ancestral land of the White Tiger Family by the Immortal King of Heaven. It is time to bring it back home.

The seven mountain and river tripods are entrenched around Anle, constantly swinging in various arcs, accompanied by deafening roars.

It's like an ancient bell roaring.

That was the sound of excitement, that was the sound of excitement. The treasure had a spirit. They seemed to be able to feel the possibility that the Mountain and River Cauldron, which had been lost for a long time, would finally return.

Anle locked the position of the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron and walked straight away.

The two Immortal Kings of Ying Qin and Baixiao Pavilion rushed towards the White Tiger Immortal City that was in ruins without hesitation.

The raging terrifying sword energy was still sweeping and stirring.

It is the intertwined power of chaos and the origin of time, and Anle has given them the origin of chaos. Using the origin of chaos as armor will prevent them from being invaded by the aftermath of the cosmic sword wheel.

Give them enough time to find the treasure.

Collect all the resources accumulated in White Tiger Fairy City.

Anle's body was surrounded by chaos, and the dark thunder burst out with the power of space, causing his figure to span a long distance.

All of a sudden, we arrived at the White Tiger Peak, the true ancestral land of the White Tiger Family.

The eyes were bright and blazing, and between the eyebrows, there seemed to be an endless ray of light reflecting on them.

Anle's eyes locked on a figure halfway up the White Tiger Peak.

That is the Immortal King with One Talisman.

Although Anle's Cosmic Sword Spirit destroyed the White Tiger Immortal City, Baihu Peak, the heaven's top cave heaven paradise, is still intact. It is stimulated by the mountain guarding formation, so that the sword energy of the sword wheel cannot wreak havoc in it.

However, Anle mastered the extremely profound space source power, so he could easily overcome this formation.

The formation was nothing in front of him.

Anle ignored the Yifu Immortal King.

In his eyes, the current Yifu Immortal King cannot bring any pressure to him at all.

His eyes were fixed on the dust-covered Mountain and River Cauldron that burst out of black and yellow energy.

"You actually buried the Mountain and River Cauldron. Are you planning to use the power of the earth from God to destroy the power contained in the Mountain and River Cauldron?"

An Le said lightly.

After finishing his words, his figure instantly pulled through the afterimages in the aisles and appeared on the side of the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron.

"An Le!"

The Immortal King Yi Fu's eyes were full of shock and anger.

Unexpectedly, Anle actually killed the Erfu Immortal King who was in the realm of two flowers in the soul, and went directly to the ancestral land of the White Tiger Family, Baihu Peak.

For many years, Baihu Peak has never been set foot on by outsiders.

But now, Anle's soles have landed on the most noble soil of Baihu Peak!

"You will pay the price for your boldness!"

"You are insulting the White Tiger Family. You are starting a war by visiting the White Tiger Family's ancestral land!"

The Yifu Immortal King roared angrily.

boom!
A source talisman appeared. It was a third-rate source talisman.

Obviously, the Immortal King who stayed behind in heaven was not very powerful, so he was sent to guard the ancestral land.

He was not given the opportunity to board the Shangcangguan battlefield.

However, facing An Le at this moment, he still did not flinch, but stared at An Le fiercely, bursting out with his strongest aura and strength.

However, Anle raised his hand and pointed a little.

The ink pool roared out and instantly penetrated the body of the Immortal King, bringing up a cloud of exploding blood flowers. The splashed blood beads were crushed into blood mist by the sword energy.

The Immortal King fell to the ground, the sword energy raging in his body, constantly destroying his vitality.

"You...you dare to insult the White Tiger Family..."

"Holy Lord...Holy Lord will not let you go!"

Blood kept dripping from the mouth of the Immortal King of the White Tiger Family.

He has the fear of facing death, but more of it is resentment and anger.

The sense of honor for the family made him curse and say harsh words on the eve of his death.

"Holy Lord... then come, I'll wait for him."

An Le said lightly.

The next moment, the spiritual power turned into a sword and slashed out, strangling the Immortal King's soul's power as he escaped from the center of his eyebrows.

The rays of light burst out, and the blood of the soul dripped.

The blood of countless souls is like a colorful rain of light.

Anle is in this light rain, calm and peaceful.

He ignored the Immortal King of the White Tiger Family who insisted on resisting him.

His eyes fell on the Mountain and River Cauldron.

This Mountain and River Cauldron, which had been plundered and lost in the sky for a long time, was now... finally seen by him.

An Le raised her hand.

The soil exploded, and there was a buzzing sound. The Mountain and River Cauldron roared out from it, hovering in the air at high speed, blooming with gleaming brilliance.

The eighth Mountain and River Cauldron!

There was a bit of excitement in Anle's eyes.

[Aspirations] The Dao Fruit could not help but tremble in the Dao Fruit space. Light slowly emerged and was projected on the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron.

Perhaps he felt that this mountain and river cauldron was something lost in the sky, so he asked for the Dao Fruit, and the light that shot out enveloped the cauldron.

It seems that he wants to take back this cauldron.

but.

Just when Qunding Daoguo was about to complete the Shanhe Ding recycling paper.

Suddenly, a hand was raised and pressed on the Mountain and River Cauldron.

Anle frowned slightly, raised his eyes, and saw the Yifu Immortal King who he had pierced with the ink pool and crushed the vitality of his body.

At this moment, the Yifu Immortal King actually stood up again, his eyes showed a brilliant white light, and he held the Mountain and River Cauldron in one hand.

"Resurrection from the dead?"

"No...it's possession."

Anle thought of something in an instant.

He stared at the Yifu Immortal King, a little surprised.

However, considering that this is the ancestral home of the White Tiger family, it is not too surprising that this situation occurs.

"who are you?"

Anle looked at the revived Yifu Immortal King and asked.

However, he did not give in. He raised his hand and grabbed the Mountain and River Cauldron, intending to retrieve the Mountain and River Cauldron into the Dao Fruit of the Ascension.

This eighth Mountain and River Cauldron must be recycled.

If this opportunity is missed, the White Tiger Family will definitely increase its defense power. When the time comes, there will even be half-step limit immortal kings to guard it. It will be difficult and dangerous to get it back again.

Even the Mountain and River Cauldron may be personally controlled by the Holy Master of the White Tiger Family.

When the time comes, the difficulty of recovering the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron will be too great to imagine.

Therefore, Anle will never let go of this opportunity.

"Who am I? You caused trouble in the White Tiger Family... Destroyed the Immortal City, killed me, the Immortal King of the White Tiger Family... You still have the nerve to ask, who am I?"

A voice that seemed to echo came from the mouth of the Yifu Immortal King of the White Tiger Family.

That condescending tone, the emotion that burst out with countless anger.

At this moment, it was like a stormy sea crashing in, impacting towards peace and happiness.

Anle instantly thought of who the other party was.

"Holy Lord White Tiger?"

An Le asked.

However, while answering, Anle's whole body bloomed with ancient golden scriptures, and the eighth chapter of the Ancestor Sutra of Humanity was activated by him.

Terrifying power surged through the body like a violent storm, and golden scriptures emerged from the bones.The terrifying power impacted on the Mountain and River Cauldron.

All of a sudden, he pulled the Mountain and River Cauldron to his side and pulled it towards the quest for Dao Fruit.

Ok?
The will of Holy Lord White Tiger was attached to the body of the Yifu Immortal King, but he never thought that he could not pull Anle's power!
"Little guy, you are really brave."

Holy Lord White Tiger smiled faintly, and a powerful spiritual power surged out.

In an instant, terrifying power also burst out.

The eighth Mountain and River Cauldron was deadlocked in the center.

Anle can't pull it, and neither can Holy Lord White Tiger.

Holy Lord White Tiger controlled and possessed the body of the Yifu Immortal King remotely, and could only burst out this power.

A more powerful force can no longer be elicited.

"Is that so?"

Anle looked at Holy Lord White Tiger and said calmly.

Because he had already felt that the body of the Yifu Immortal King had reached its limit.

Holy Lord White Tiger is indeed very strong, but...this body has its upper limit.

It simply cannot carry too much power.

This is the disadvantage brought about by strong men who take the path of refining gods.

If Holy Lord White Tiger's will was controlling Anle's body at this moment, or the body of Holy Demon Young Emperor, he would at least be able to erupt with power at the level of the Three Talisman Immortal King!

puff!

The sound of tearing resounded.

The arm of this Immortal King of One Talisman was directly torn and broken, and blood sprayed out, along with the tendons and bones!
The eighth Mountain and River Cauldron was immediately pulled away by Anle, absorbed by the Aspirational Dao Fruit, turned into a black and yellow light, and collected into the Aspirational Dao Fruit.

Anle's eyebrows bloomed with light, feeling the moment when the eighth mountain and river tripod was recovered.

My heart seems to have become extremely peaceful at this moment!
Even the luck on his body became more and more majestic at this moment.

Ok?
The significance of recovering the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron... is extraordinary!
The Ding Dao Fruit shimmered slightly, and even a dark yellow light came out and flowed into the Seven Mountains and Rivers Cauldron.

Anle's refining of the seventh Mountain and River Cauldron has not yet reached perfection, but at this moment, under the feedback of the black and yellow light, it is gradually approaching perfection!

This is the gift given to him by the aspiration Daoguo, because he took back the gift of the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron that was lost in the sky!
Anle is in a very good mood, which means that he can start refining the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron!

Of course, the current situation does not allow him to refine it.

After all, being in the ancestral land of the White Tiger Family, Anle had to leave quickly, if he was really surrounded by the support of other powerful people from the Ancient Immortal Family.

That's still a bit dangerous.

Anle glanced at the Holy Lord White Tiger who had lost an arm.

Without any hesitation, the figure began to retreat away from the White Tiger Peak.

This White Tiger Peak is the true ancestral homeland of the White Tiger Family.

Anle didn't dare to go too deep because he could feel that there was an extremely terrifying threat in this ancestral land.

This threat made his hair stand on end.

If he really sets foot into the depths of his ancestral land, it may trigger some extremely bad and terrifying signs.

"Want to go?"

The body of the Yifu Immortal King attached to Holy Lord White Tiger has one arm broken.

But the coldness and murderous intent in his eyes became increasingly intense.

Perhaps, Holy Lord White Tiger himself did not expect that even though he personally took action, he was still unable to suppress An Le, allowing the eighth Mountain and River Cauldron to be successfully recovered by An Le.

boom! ! !
The immortal king's body began to become distorted and suddenly swelled.

Holy Lord White Tiger began to transmit power regardless of the upper limit of the immortal king's physical body!
boom!
In just a moment, the figure of Holy Lord White Tiger disappeared from where he was.

It seemed as if a beautiful white tiger appeared in the void, waving a claw in an instant.

Anle's eyes narrowed, and Mochi whizzed over, pointing at this paw.

In addition, the Chaos Source Talisman erupted.

One sword turned into ten thousand swords in an instant, and the origins of various avenues appeared, like a dream!

The power of this sword is equally impressive.

The terrifying explosion swept away instantly, and the body of Holy Lord White Tiger was ravaged again by countless sword energies.

However, among the countless sword energies.

Holy Lord White Tiger, who didn't care whether his body was torn apart by the sword energy, roared and rushed out.

A punch was pushed horizontally towards Anle. The power contained in this punch was extremely terrifying, even distorting the space, turning the void into a terrifying black hole that wanted to swallow everything.

No matter it is the power of blood, aura or soul!

Anle's eyes condensed, the internal organs surged with light, and the five chaotic birds shot out.

Chaos Tiger Pose and Chaos Bird Pose jumped out at the same time.

Collision with Holy Lord White Tiger's punch.

The power of annihilating the void exploded, and the entire void in the White Tiger Ancestral Land seemed to be distorted, like a undulating calm lake.

Anle's figure flew out and shot out of the White Tiger Peak.

His body shape instantly transformed into countless figures, and the dark and black chaotic thunder intertwined, making his figure look like a dream, making it difficult to capture his true form.

"As expected of Holy Lord White Tiger..."

Anle took a deep breath.

Just with the help of the immortal king's body, he was able to suppress him at the physical level.

Of course, this was due to a complete overdraft and squeezing of the physical strength of this Yifu Immortal King.

The bulging Yi Fu Immortal King stood there.

An Le, who popped up from Baihu Peak, was not pursued.

It's not that he doesn't chase, but that he no longer has the strength to continue chasing.

puff puff...

Flesh and blood began to explode, meridians broke inch by inch, and bones began to break under the load...

After carrying the power of Holy Lord White Tiger, this huge body of Yifu Immortal King punched the most terrifying punch.

Unable to win An Le, this physical body completely lost its power and was crushed to pieces under the pressure of Holy Lord White Tiger.

It turned into a pool of black blood.

Anle glanced at it and could feel the will of the White Tiger Holy Lord who was still lingering between heaven and earth.

Holy Lord White Tiger's will is very strong.

However, he could not get out of Baihu Peak.

Anle figured this out and felt slightly relieved.

If the will of Holy Lord White Tiger can really get out of White Tiger Peak and continue to pursue him, then he may really be entangled.

Because he could imagine how strong the White Tiger Holy Lord's willpower was!
If the true spiritual power of Holy Lord White Tiger comes, Anle will not be able to stop it at all.

"Does Sanhua have spiritual power?"

Anle took a deep breath.

Not even just Sanhua.

Because Holy Lord White Tiger is the half-step extreme powerhouse in the Three Realms who has the most hope of stepping into the extreme realm besides the Third Senior Sister.

The five ancient immortal families are working hard for this matter.

Even the creation of the land of immortality in the human world was a preparation for Holy Lord White Tiger to set foot in the extreme realm.

Therefore, it can be said that the power of Holy Lord White Tiger is far beyond what Anle can imagine today.

Although Anle is very strong now, he has two top-level origin talismans.

Even the fused cosmic sword wheel is extremely domineering.

but……

Anle knew very well that it would be difficult to face the Three Talisman Immortal King whose spiritual power reached the Second Flower Realm, let alone the Three Talisman Immortal King who had the Three Talisman Realm but had a three-flower mind.

There are also the terrifying existences of those half-step extremes.

After taking a deep look, the strong wind howled, as if a translucent white tiger's will was sweeping across the White Tiger ancestral land.

The trump card left by Holy Lord White Tiger is indeed a very powerful threat.

If what is left is the Three Talisman Immortal King, or the Erhua Spirit Realm Two Talisman Immortal King who died in the battle, the corpse will appear in the White Tiger Ancestral Land.

The coming of Holy Lord White Tiger's will will bring great trouble to Anle.

I can only say good luck.

The ordinary body of the Immortal King Yifu cannot bear the power of the Holy Lord's will at all.

Anle didn't stay long and got the Shanhe Ding.

It's time to leave.

However, he still had unfinished business before leaving.

After destroying a fairy city, naturally I have to reward myself and sort out the harvest.

Chaos thunder intertwined, and a lightning arc flashed randomly, just like a teleportation coordinate, teleporting Anle's figure to the place.

Before the huge treasure house.

It is blocked by a terrifying formation.

It was precisely because of the protection of the formation that the power of Anle's Cosmic Sword Spirit was unable to destroy the treasures within it.

Outside the treasure house, the two Immortal Kings of Ying Qin and Baixiao Pavilion were thinking of a solution.

But while we are scratching our heads, there is no solution for getting along with each other.

They also wanted to raid the treasure house, but in the end they couldn't even get through the door of the treasure house.

An Le appeared, and the three of them looked a little embarrassed.

Things in Anlezu Land were settled, but as a result, they still made no progress.

After smiling, Anle didn't laugh at them.

After all, it is the treasure house of the White Tiger Immortal City, and the defensive restrictions set up must be the most powerful among the many fairy cities under the jurisdiction of the White Tiger Family.

However, happiness is not without solutions.

Raise your hand.

The sky-breaking pagoda flew over and landed in his palm, spinning slowly.

This sacred weapon, taken from the control of the Holy Demon Young Emperor, has a unique advantage in destroying forbidden formations.

Anle communicated with the spirit of the sacred weapon and activated the sacred weapon to shoot out directly.

The pagoda easily tore through the restrictions of the treasure house.

"Enter the treasure house to search for treasures, and be quick."

"We have wasted too much time. The other strong men from the Immortal Ancient Family will definitely rush to help."

An Le said.

After finishing speaking, he opened the door and entered.

Before the three of them could react, Anle had already torn apart the space and threw all the treasures in sight into the storage space without hesitation.

No matter what kind of treasure it is, no matter what kind of precious medicine it is, or what kind of rare treasure mine it is.

As long as you can see it, you can earn it.

The origin of saints and demons, the pure original energy, the original energy of commodities...

Waiting for treasures, dizzying.

There are too many, really too many. As the largest fairy city under the jurisdiction of the White Tiger Family, the White Tiger Immortal City has countless treasures.

The two Immortal Kings of Ying Qin and Baixiao Pavilion were dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a battle before, even when they attacked Beihuxian City and Anle searched for the treasure house, they had never witnessed it.

At this moment, I saw it with my own eyes, and my soul suffered an unprecedented impact.

However, Ying Qin adjusted quickly, manipulated the storage magic weapon, and began to collect various treasures crazily.

The eyes of the two Immortal Kings of Baixiao Pavilion were red, and they began to collect them desperately.

Originally, they thought that Baixiao Pavilion, as a first-class force, was infinitely close to the top forces in terms of resources.

Comparing it now, it really feels like a frog in the well.

Even if they are only one of the five ancient immortal families, the treasure resources controlled by the Baihu Family far exceed those of Baixiao Pavilion.

The gap is too big.

No wonder that for countless years, the change of top forces basically never happened.

Because their resource control is too strong.

"go!"

Anle took a long time to collect and only collected one-third.

But he can't continue to collect it.

The tyrannical spiritual power has already made him feel the strong men quickly surrounding him from all directions.

Among them is the Three Talisman Immortal King!
Ying Qin turned around and rushed out of the treasure house without hesitation.

The two Immortal Kings of Baixiao Pavilion were a little hesitant and were still collecting treasures, wanting to get more treasures.

However, Anle and Ying Qin didn't wait for them.

After leaving the treasure house, they quickly headed towards the ruins of the White Tiger Immortal City.

After they left the city.

The two Immortal Kings from Baixiao Pavilion flew out one after the other.

Among them, the great elder of Baixiao Pavilion is faster.

However, the Immortal King who was lagging behind felt a terrifying spiritual power that was like a mountain, pressing down hard before he left the city.

That is the true spiritual mountain.

puff!
The Immortal King could not leave the city.

He was crushed directly and landed on the ruins of the fairy city. His bones were shattered, and his mind was suppressed to the point of being almost shattered!

On the mountain of the soul, two flowers bloom, and three source symbols complement each other!
It was the Three Talisman Immortal King who understood Erhua's spiritual realm who took action!
