Xuanyuan Fawang let out a loud roar, his palms like an overlord holding up a tripod, and his body suddenly inflated by three feet, transforming from a seven-foot-tall man to a giant over ten feet tall. His golden Daoist robe also expanded along with him, looking like a protective talisman, making his entire physique perfectly proportioned. A halo of bloody light surrounded his head, finally condensing into a fist-sized blood bead. Xuanyuan Fawang's hands changed from supporting the void to pushing forward, as if he was about to push a massive boulder weighing ten thousand kilograms. The blood bead slowly flew towards the dark rock, but judging by its momentum, it would probably fall back down from mid-air before even hitting the rock.
"This monster! With such a big fuss, it's just this thing? Don't even mention breaking the seal, I'm afraid that even an ordinary rock can't be broken!" Zhou Qing felt a bit strange. Wen Lanxin looked at Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's unimpressive might, although Zhou Qing couldn't see her facial expression change, but from the atmosphere, she also sensed it, and her fear of Xuan Yuan Fa Wang deepened another layer. "Could it be that the legendary divine technique is not effective?" Zhou Qing hastily retreated three feet again, just one step away from leaving the valley. All the protective treasures on his body were activated, the Extreme Light Shield was not mentioned, even the snatched "Xuantian Bagua Mirror" from Mo Zhen's disciple was transformed into eight light pillars, surrounding himself, forming a mysterious defensive formation!
Wen Lan Xin's entire body was clad in a flowing white robe, his collar fluttering without any wind. His body slowly rose into the air, and an endless torrent of heavenly energy surged forth, gathering in the center of his palm. The energy compressed into a fist-sized white glow orb. Wen Lan Xin grasped the sword manual with his hand, and in an instant, he drew hundreds of talismans in mid-air, all of which were imbued onto the surface of the white glow orb. Suddenly, a brilliant light enveloped him, and an otherworldly aura emanated from him. Where was even a hint of the demonic presence? Zhou Qing watched with a nod: Indeed, this is a modern demon lord, unwilling to waste his own true energy, using Daoist mental techniques to gather heavenly spiritual energy and stimulate his magic. Unlike that one, who had exhausted all his strength just to make a name for himself! Monsters are still monsters; no matter how long they live, their wisdom can't compare to that of humans!
His hand trembled, and the ball of energy condensed from the heavenly spiritual energy shot towards the black rock at an incredible speed. Seeing Wen Lanxin make his move, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang was still slowly pushing the blood bead forward. However, although the blood bead was flying slowly in mid-air, Zhou Qing had a strange feeling: the blood bead would definitely hit the rock before the ball of energy! The sudden thought made Zhou Qing extremely surprised! Indeed, the blood bead flew slowly and suddenly disappeared into thin air, almost simultaneously reappearing in front of the rock and hitting it at the same time as the white ball! Unexpectedly, the two balls, which Zhou Qing could clearly feel contained enormous destructive power, entered the rock without making any noise or light explosion. The rock seemed to have suddenly turned into a black hole, sucking up the energy completely. Wen Lanxin was stunned, while Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's hands were clawed, as if he was desperately pulling something back! This was his life-and-death refining blood bead; if it was lost, his powers would decrease by at least 50%. It was better to die than that.
Xuanyuan Fawang's face turned green with rage, and he bellowed: "You little scamp! Stop watching the excitement and quickly take out your sword to shatter that stone!"
Zhou Qing's right hand grasped the knife, and with one step, he traversed over a dozen zhangs of distance, barely blocking Xuan Yuan Fa Wang in front of him. A solitary knife slashed down from mid-air, several zhangs long, like a streak of blood light shooting out from the blade. The entire mountain valley was shrouded in a thick, crimson mist. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin only saw Zhou Qing's figure amidst the bloody shadows, his long knife raised high, with golden light swirling around him, as if he were a celestial being. "This child is absolutely not a commoner!" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin exchanged a glance, their thoughts surprisingly identical.
The blood-imbued blade, imbued with the momentum of a thunderbolt, struck the rock with incredible force. The ancient magic sword's full-force blow seemed to have an effect on the seemingly unchanging rock, as threads of white light gathered from all directions and formed a white light screen in front of it. No matter how hard Zhou Qing tried to stimulate the power of the Blood God Sword, the blood-imbued blade, which seemed to be able to penetrate anything, was unable to advance even an inch.
The white light surged up, and Xuan Yuan's pressure seemed to ease a lot. Pfft! A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Xuan Yuan's face turned bright red, as if all the blood in his body had gathered on his face, almost dripping down. The fresh blood splattered, and Xuan Yuan's power increased by nearly tenfold!
"Come back!" Another loud shout! The white light screen expanded outward, Bang! Like an egg hitting the ground, a soft sound was heard, and the white light screen that even the Blood God Sword couldn't penetrate actually burst open from the inside, creating a small hole the size of a fist. Xuan Yuan's life-and-death condensed blood pearl shot out, transformed into a red light that rushed into his mouth.
Instantly, Xuan Yuan's face turned pale and wan, revealing a sickly complexion like rice paper. It was as if he had been seriously ill, which was the aftereffect of reversing the flow of his internal energy to stimulate his body's potential earlier.
A white light burst forth, silently and without warning. The blood-red glow that had been building up around Zhou Qing suddenly exploded onto the surface of the rock, which absorbed all of the blood light and rapidly disintegrated into a fine powder that drifted to the ground on the wind. In an instant, a cave entrance large enough for a person to enter appeared where the rock had been. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang, Zhou Qing, and Wen Lan Xin stared at each other in shock. This seal was indeed too powerful - even these two individuals, who were already among the strongest in the mortal realm, were unable to do anything about it. In the end, they had to resort to using the power of the Blood God Sword, with Xuan Yuan Fa Wang reversing his entire body's vital energy as the price, and only then were they able to blast open a small crack. According to legend, this was merely the weakest layer of the 81 seals, used only to reinforce the entrance. What kind of vengeful spirit could be inside? It must be at least on the level of a Ghost King! A Ghost King was equivalent to a mid-stage Hua Shen master - one of the top 100,000 Hua Shen masters in the world! Even a Tian Shang True Immortal would likely be torn apart and annihilated by this spirit, consumed by the countless ghosts and never able to reincarnate. And yet, below this was an even more powerful Killing God, White Qi, who was feared even by the Nine Heavens God Buddha. Should they proceed? The three of them were like a group of tomb raiders standing in front of a vast treasure trove, but they were also afraid that the traps inside would cost them their lives. On one hand, there was the threat to their lives; on the other, there was the temptation of the treasures within. The three of them stood there, frozen in indecision.
Woe! Woe! A gust of dark wind emerged from the black cave, Kill! Kill! Kill! Countless violent and ferocious thoughts surged out, causing the temperature in the entire valley to drop tenfold in an instant. The ground where the dark wind passed was frozen, with stones cracking loudly! Even the most resilient green stone rocks were frozen and cracked open! The violent and ferocious thoughts instantly transmitted into the minds of the three people! Heads piled up like mountains! Blood flowed like rivers! The brutal scenes of battlefields, where blood splattered everywhere, appeared in the minds of the three people one after another. Endless killing intent engulfed their souls!
