Chapter 536 (Additional Words) Devouring the King
The strange restriction sealed the power of all of them, but Shi Yuan, in a rage, actually shattered the restriction.
It would be a good idea for him to get the fragments and take Ji Xueyi out.
We can't let him always be at the forefront.
They also have a role to play. The backlash from Shi Yuan's madness would be very costly, and Xue Yi couldn't let him fall down after waking up.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye summoned out his own giant divine axe.
He took a deep breath, and the divine power in his body surged and gathered on the giant axe, and the axe blade instantly burst into dazzling light.
"Open!" With a deafening roar, Bai Ye suddenly swung the giant axe and, with the force of destroying the world, he chopped at the towering and heavy stone gate.
A deafening roar broke out in the air, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
The point where the giant axe touched the stone gate shone brightly, so bright that it was almost impossible to look directly at it. Then, a clear crack spread from under the axe blade, quickly spreading to the entire stone gate like a spider web.
Along with a deafening roar, the surface of the stone gate began to crack bit by bit, with broken stones flying everywhere and turning into countless tiny particles of dust.
The huge stone gate collapsed with a loud bang, turning into ruins, raising a cloud of icy dust that covered half the sky.
The people in the barrier were well protected. When the ice dust dissipated, the scene behind the stone gate was revealed to everyone.
What is surprising is that there is someone else behind this stone door!
Bai Ye, holding the giant divine axe, looked at the people behind him, and everyone took out their weapons.
Shi Yuan's half-red and half-gold eyes had begun to show signs of hostility, and he didn't have much patience left.
The people inside the door seemed to have been trapped for a long time. They looked very disheveled and did not look like humans.
Bai Ye keenly smelled the evil spirit. He tightened his grip on the axe and his eyes darkened.
From his perspective, the forces within the sect were roughly divided into several teams.
One team consists of about thirty or forty demons, and the other team consists of about a dozen humans, all wearing masks. However, this is questionable because Bai Ye did not detect any human aura from the other side, but they are not demons either.
This is usually the most suspicious and abnormal situation.
There was still a group of people left in the corner. There were only five or six of them, but according to Bai Ye's spiritual sense, there was an old man among them who should not be underestimated.
Their aura is somewhat like that of immortals, but not immortal at the same time. It should be a mixture between the two.
The people inside the door became alert when they saw the door shattered and Bai Ye and his group appeared.
Shi Yuan carried Xue Yi inside. He looked around and said to Jiang Shouyu who was standing behind him, "Use your power to find the location of the fragment."
Jiang Shouyu nodded, and the others formed a defensive circle around him to protect him while he cast the spell.
The trapped people present had an obvious change of attitude when they heard the word "debris".
The old man hiding in the corner sent a message to the young man next to him, and said in a deep voice: "This group of people are also here to look for the fragments. They are very powerful and should not be underestimated. We should outsmart them and wait until they find the location of the fragments before we take action."
The young man nodded, "Yes, Elder."
Among the group of masked people, the leader seemed to be considering something.
His gaze fell on Xue Yi who was held in Shi Yuan's arms, and a dark current flashed across his eyes.
This is a good flaw.
This injured woman might be a breakthrough.
They also came here to look for artifact fragments.
In fact, all the teams here, except the new group, are in the same group.
The king of all of them is the same person, but the forces they belong to after leaving the secret realm are different.
So in order to hide, they didn't communicate too much. Even if they were trapped in here, they still had to pretend to be unfamiliar with each other because they couldn't reveal any flaws.
The general code name of these people is "Devouring". They want to get the Dingkun Staff to summon the devouring beast and unify the world.
Their king is honored by these supporters as "King Devourer."
They are the pioneers and victims of this hegemony.
But there is no regret after making a move, because some situations once entered, there is no way out.
...
If Xue Yi was awake at this moment, she might find that on the wrist of the masked man that was inadvertently exposed there was the same wolf fang mark as the one that the person who assassinated her last time at Yangyue Peak had.
This was a force that had been planning for a long time and had been targeting her since she first stepped into the Death Valley.
The last assassination was just a test.
The extraterritorial killer organization that Jiang Shouyu knew was just the most inconspicuous team under the King of Devouring.
So will her efforts serve as a hindrance to the Devouring King, or will she successfully gather all the fragments and be reborn?
Until the end, the outcome is uncertain and everything is possible.
Jiang Shouyu was in the inner circle. He bit his finger and began to draw ancient runes in the air. Endless ripples emerged from the indistinct blood-red characters and finally converged into a route.
It points to...the location of the ice sculpture in the center of the hall.
The ice sculpture is in the shape of a vine and is not very large. Rather than the fragments hidden inside it, Jiang Shouyu believes that the ice sculpture is a starting switch.
He took back the route guide and whispered to the people around him, "The ice sculpture is a mechanism. It should be able to lead us to the fragments."
Hearing this, Bai Ye, Wei Fuzhi and Ji Li walked in that direction first.
When they were ten steps away from the ice sculpture, the masked men on the side suddenly launched a sneak attack.
They appeared beside the three people like ghosts with scimitars in their hands, and Jili was scratched on the arm without paying attention.
The blood flowed down the arm and slowly seeped into the Buddhist beads.
Bai Ye immediately rushed over and started fighting with them with a huge axe.
Xie Lanyue quickly joined the battle and suddenly opened the Thousand Machine Fan in his hand. There seemed to be countless tiny mechanisms on the fan.
He lightly rotated the handle of the fan, and in an instant, several silver lights shot out from the fan at an astonishing speed, directly penetrating the hearts of the three attackers without any delay.
The masked man who fell to the ground had disbelief in his eyes. The strength of these people was beyond their imagination.
As Xie Lanyue successfully killed three people, the door was instantly shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.
The other two groups of people hid themselves unnoticed and observed in secret.
Bai Ye's divine axe flashed like lightning and chopped accurately on the masked man's weapon. Sparks flew and the sharp sound of metal collision echoed throughout the hall.
His movements were extremely swift. Although some strong men in the masked team tried to dodge with their exquisite body movements, they were always predicted by Bai Ye at the critical moment. The giant axe followed him like a shadow, ruthlessly reaping lives.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which formed a sharp contrast with the cold hall.
At the same time, Jili and Wei Fuzhi had already arrived near the ice sculpture.
Jiang Shouyu and Shi Yuan also flashed over, and the four of them reunited.
Jiang Shouyu stretched out his hand and pressed on the ice sculpture, then rotated it seven times.
After seven strokes, a secret door suddenly appeared on the right side of the hall. The secret door opened, revealing a corridor.
And this corridor happened to be near the group of people led by the old man earlier.
They were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and rushed in quickly.
Shi Yuan was faster. He directly tore through the space and reached the end of the corridor in an instant.
Wei Fuzhi grabbed Jiang Shouyu and Jili, and teleported to Shi Yuan's side with one hand each.
They reached the end of the corridor faster than that group of people, but it was empty and there was nothing.
Jiang Shouyu reacted quickly, "There should be some other trick!"
He began to grope around in this space, looking for a mechanism.
And that group of people have already caught up.
Wei Fuzhi was about to make a move when Ji Li held him down, "I'll do it."
He walked forward, still feeling a sting on his wrist, but the man no longer had the compassion he once had, and the Buddhist beads on his wrist were stained blood.
Jili took off his Buddhist beads and stood in front of the people behind him.
The old man took the brunt of the attack, swung his palm and shouted angrily: "Incompetent youngster, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
The old man's palm, carrying powerful spiritual power and power that should not be underestimated, came towards Jili like a collapsing mountain.
However, at this critical moment, the Buddhist beads in Jili's hand seemed to be given life, and suddenly burst into dazzling light, illuminating the entire space.
The Buddha's light contained an ancient and pure holy power, which gathered into an indestructible wall of light at an incredible speed, easily dissolving the overwhelming palm wind into nothingness.
The old man's pupils suddenly shrank and his face was full of disbelief. He had never seen such a powerful defense.
"You! You... who are you!?"
Jili did not answer. His eyes were cold. The Buddhist beads stained with blood seemed to become angry and began to spin, getting faster and faster.
With each rotation, the light became stronger, until the entire string of beads turned into a huge, slowly rotating golden light wheel, surrounding the old man and the people behind him.
"Wheel of Holy Light, cleanses filth."
Under this halo, the air seemed to solidify, and streams of sacred and majestic aura overflowed from the halo, emanating the purest power.
The old man and the masked men were enveloped in it. Their faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Within the halo, an invisible force began to tear at their filthy souls. It was a pain that went beyond the physical body, a pain that tore them apart from within.
The old man's body was shaking, as if he was being pulled from all directions by countless invisible hands, and his face looked hideous due to extreme distortion.
The same was true for the masked men around them: their eyes gradually lost focus and they let out sharp wails, which were the sounds of despair before their souls were torn apart and purified.
In the halo, the blood-stained Buddha light became brighter and brighter, and the wailing of the people, including the old men, became louder and louder.
Ji Li had no intention of being soft-hearted. The man had used 80% of his strength in the palm strike just now, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill him.
There is no need for his compassion to exist when dealing with such people.
The Holy Light Wheel will only affect those who have evil intentions and have committed many evil deeds.
The more serious their sins are, the more painful it is for their souls to be torn apart.
Jili stopped this group of people, and Jiang Shouyu successfully found the next mechanism.
He pressed it lightly, and another secret door appeared.
Wei Fuzhi sighed, "There are so many doors. Does the owner of this secret realm like to push doors for fun when he's free?"
Shi Yuan didn't say anything. He held Xue Yi in his arms without stopping for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he reached the end of the passage.
This time, it was no longer empty inside, but filled with a different world.
After dealing with the masked man and the old man's group outside, they quickly came over and everyone gathered together.
Inside the tomb, the flickering candlelight illuminates the entire room with splendor.
Gold, silver and jade artifacts complement each other, and magical herbs and plants emit a faint fluorescence, as if you are in a dreamlike treasure house.
"The fragments are inside the coffin. I'll open it. Everyone be careful."
Jiang Shouyu stood in front of a jade coffin carved with dragons and phoenixes. He formed seals with his hands. The light of the secret technique gathered at his fingertips and slowly penetrated into the intricate runes on the coffin lid.
"break!"
As he shouted softly, the coffin lid shook violently, and a crack spread from the edge, revealing the deep darkness inside the coffin.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, preparing to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the artifact fragments, the air suddenly solidified, and an ancient and powerful breath surged out of the coffin, instantly filling the entire tomb.
An illusory figure slowly condensed on the coffin. It was the shadow of the tomb owner. He was dressed in armor and looked very powerful.
"Anyone who trespasses will be killed!" The deep and majestic voice echoed in the tomb, carrying unquestionable power.
As his words fell, a visible wave spread from his palm, transforming into countless sharp spiritual blades that cut through the air and shot towards everyone.
Shi Yuan reacted the fastest. He pushed Xue Yi into Jili's arms, and then his figure flashed and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
The man pushed forward with both palms, and the space was instantly torn apart, swallowing all the spiritual blades into the invisible space cracks.
However, even so, the impact still made everyone feel their blood boiling and their faces turned pale.
The shadow sneered, and an ancient long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The sword body was flowing with a faint blue light, as if it could cut through the void.
He slowly raised his sword, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at everyone. An unprecedented terrifying pressure gushed out from the tip of the sword, pressing the air so hard that it made it tremble.
Under this pressure, the space seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand. Everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest, and breathing became extremely difficult.
Although Shi Yuan was strong, he seemed powerless in the face of such pressure. He held on with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the sword that was about to fall. The divine power in his body surged wildly, trying to resist the absolute suppression from the supreme realm.
Jiang Shouyu and others were in even greater disgrace; they either knelt on the ground or staggered back with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.
This pressure directly suppressed them. It was absolute suppression. They didn't even have the strength to fight back.
The owner of this tomb is actually a powerful person at the supreme level!
It is rumored that there has never been anyone who has reached the supreme realm in the Floating Light Realm, but people would have thought that a great man had already retired from the world and been buried here long ago.
The Buddha's light of Jili also dimmed a lot under this pressure. He gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together, and silently recited scriptures, trying to protect everyone's hearts with the power of Buddha.
But the effect was minimal, and his Buddha's light was easily crushed by the pressure from the tomb owner.
In the face of absolute strength, all resistance is futile.
