As the Universe Turns - Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Life and Death Struggle (1)
“Qingmu, make your decision.”
The other trial elders also walked over together. At this moment, everyone’s eyes were extremely focused. Clearly, they had already prepared for the worst.
The valley had been sealed in all directions. However, with their cultivation, breaking the seal was only a small matter. However, if the elders entered the valley to compete for Power of Azure Dragon, it would inevitably attract the help of the elders of Divine Martial Palace and Profound Frost Pavilion, and even all the clans and sects present.
But what’s the harm?
They were ready to die. This time, even if they were to disarm themselves and release Power of Primordial Spirit to retreat, they would still have to take Power of Azure Dragon, regardless of the consequences, even if blood flowed here.
In the distance, when Elder Divine Martial Palace saw the strange expression on Celestial Pogoda’s face, he became cautious and sent a divine message to the person beside him, “The people of Celestial Pogoda will make a move and prepare everyone behind them. Once they try to enter and fight for Power of Azure Dragon … there is no need to be merciful, kill them all!”
Obviously, Divine Martial Palace is determined to win against Power of Azure Dragon this time. The red-clothed elder smiled gloomily and thought to himself, “Don’t blame us for being ruthless and ruthless … Celestial Pogoda, you should have disappeared long ago.”
“Qingmu! We can’t wait any longer!”
On this side, the expressions of the Elders of Celestial Pogoda became more and more serious, and the mountain range trembled more and more violently. Power of Azure Dragon was about to charge out. If they were snatched away by the people of Divine Martial Palace, it was almost impossible for them to snatch it back from each other.
“Wait … wait!”
Elder Greenwood’s eyes gradually became bloodshot as his fingers tightened. Wasn’t it painful in his heart? The junior brothers in front of him were already prepared to die. After hundreds of years of friendship, could it be that he wanted to watch them disarm themselves and their souls disappear forever in this boundless mountain range?
Moreover, even if he managed to obtain Power of Azure Dragon in the end, so what? There were so many people here today. When the time came, everyone would see that Celestial Pogoda had broken the rules. By himself, would he be able to bring Power of Azure Dragon out of this mountain range alive? Almost impossible.
“Elder! Elder … Not good!”
Right at this moment, a woman in red suddenly stumbled down the hillside. She looked at the elders with tears in her eyes and shook her head, “We can’t steal them … They’re too strong. Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qin are both injured. Elder Qingmu, please let them out …”
“Cyanwood!”
At this moment, the rest of the elders opened their eyes wide to look at Elder Cyanwood. The situation was already imminent and they could not wait any longer.
“Let me think about it, let me think about it again …”
Elder Qingmu’s hands began to tremble. This was a life-and-death decision. Once it was made, there was no turning back. He trusted Xiao Chen too much. He believed the other party’s oath at that time. That was why he gave the Veluriyam Pagoda to the other party. He unconditionally trusted him because of that sentence, “I will bring it back to Power of Azure Dragon.”
But now, not only did they not come, the Veluriyam Treasure Pagoda was also gone. Just Feng Gufei and the others were absolutely impossible to compete with the Divine Martial Hall and Profound Frost Pavilion.
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, a thunderous explosion erupted. Immediately after, the entire mountain range began to tremble. Suddenly, profound lights shot into the sky from the deep mountain range. It was clear that Power of Azure Dragon was about to charge out of the ground.
At this moment, everyone held their breaths and stared at the dozen rays of profound light that shot into the sky. Power of Azure Dragon was finally about to appear!
“Azurewood! He won’t come … We can’t wait any longer! You can’t hand over the life and death of the entire Heavenly Pagoda to a single person!”
An elder’s eyes were already red. The woman in red didn’t know what they were going to do. She stood there and didn’t dare to move. She blankly said, “Elders, what … what are you going to do?”
Elder Qingmu clenched his fingers tightly. At this moment, it was as if he had finally made up his mind. Looking at the junior brothers in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot. “Junior brothers, I will ask the four elders to do their best to extradite your souls back …”
Upon hearing this, the red-robed woman’s face turned pale with fear, “Elders … what are you guys doing …”
At this moment, in the distance, the red-robed elder of the Divine Martial Hall’s expression became solemn. He immediately sent a divine sense to someone beside him, “Prepare to attack and stop them!”
Just as both sides were about to take action, a rain of blood battle was about to arrive. Suddenly, a loud rumble came from afar, startling everyone.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from the distant horizon. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the two mountain peaks seemed to have been knocked down by something. When everyone saw what was rushing over from the smoke and dust, they were even more frightened.
“Then … what is that!”
Quite a few people cried out in shock. They saw a hundred-meter golden dragon rushing towards them. That heaven-shaking and earth-shaking momentum was almost unstoppable. Any mountain peak that stood in front of them, without exception, was annihilated in an instant!
At this moment, not only did the people from the various clans and sects become nervous, the people from the three great powers also became on guard. When the golden dragon figure rushed to the vicinity, everyone was able to clearly see that there were actually two figures standing on it!
“Wait a minute! That’s …”
At this moment, Elder Qingmu’s face also tensed up. Could that aura be … Wu Chen!
Above the dragon shadow, Xiao Chen pulled off the black battle robe, revealing the Celestial Pogoda costume that had been temporarily changed inside. Everyone was even more shocked when they saw that it was someone from Celestial Pogoda. “It’s someone from Celestial Pogoda!”
“It’s Liao Wuchen … He’s here!”
Elder Qingmu was also shocked, his face revealing an inexplicable complex expression, repeatedly said: “I said, he will definitely come! He is here now!”
“Liao Wuchen is coming! It’s Liao Wuchen! He’s coming!”
Inside the deep valley, Ling Luan and the others saw the person standing on top of the dragon shadow and shouted excitedly. Feng Gufei, Qin E and the others who were fighting hard in the distance also stopped at this moment. At this moment, the person standing on the dragon shadow seemed to have become their last hope.
Outside the valley, the elders of the Divine Martial Hall and Profound Frost Pavilion frowned. Naturally, they had heard of this “Liao Wuchen”. However, why did this person appear at this moment? And who was that woman standing in front of him …
“Humph!”
The red-clothed elder of the Divine Martial Palace snorted coldly, “What’s the use of coming here now? The sealing restriction has been laid. I don’t believe you can break through it!”
Above the dragon shadow, Xiao Chen stared at the seals outside the valley in the distance and whispered in Hua Weiyang’s ear, “Weiyang, can you control the power of the earth veins to break through the seals in front of you?”
“No problem.”
Hua Weiyang did not say anything else. He immediately rode the Netherpiercing Umbrella and rushed towards the valley with the power of the earth veins. Everyone in the distance was shocked, “They want to forcefully break the restriction!”
The hundred zhang dragon shadow formed by the power of the earth vein was so powerful that everyone quickly activated their True Essence Shield to prevent it from being affected by the shockwaves.
As they approached the deep valley, Wei Yang glanced forward and quickly pulled Xiao Chen into the distance. Just as the two of them left the dragon shadow, a loud “rumble” rang out. Smoke billowed between heaven and earth. The seven or eight surrounding mountains collapsed, and the restrictions outside the deep valley instantly dissipated.
“They … they!”
At this moment, everyone from the various clans and sects outside felt that it was inconceivable what abilities these two possessed to control the power of the earth vein!
The powerful impact shattered the ground beneath the valley. A myriad of meteors of profound light shot into the sky and suddenly transformed into a cyan dragon image. At this moment, an endless Spiritual Bloodline Force seemed to envelop the entire world.
“Power of Azure Dragon has appeared!”
Many people cried out in alarm. At this moment, everyone focused their attention on the Azure Dragon Shadow in the deep valley. The restriction seal had just been broken, and the people of the various great clans and sects were eyeing it covetously. The elders of the three great forces were on guard against each other, but none of them dared to act rashly.
“Idiot! Quick!”
Hua Weiyang shouted at Xiao Chen. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen flew into the air and instantly took out the Veluriyam Pagoda.
The Veluriyam Treasure Pagoda shone brightly in mid-air, magnifying countless times in an instant. As the earth vein energy gathered inside, it pulled the azure dragon image formed by Power of Azure Dragon from the deep valley into the pagoda.
“Spirit seizing power!”
After seeing Power of Azure Dragon appear, the people from the Divine Martial Palace and the Mysterious Frost Pavilion also reacted. They were the leaders of their respective forces, so how could they be ordinary people?
Suddenly, two streaks of profound light, one red and one green, rushed into the air. Two magic treasures similar to the glass pagoda flew into the air, glowing with red light. That was the Divine Martial Hall’s “Red Copper Bell” and the other was the “Clear Light Bell” of the Mysterious Frost Pavilion.
As soon as the two magic treasures flew into the air, they instantly magnified by countless times, shining with dazzling light. Power of Azure Dragon, who was originally being led into the Veluriyam Pagoda, was instantly dragged down by the two magic treasures.
At this moment, the three sides were actually on a tripartite footing. Everyone outside held their breath. The Divine Martial Palace, which was originally confident of victory, was completely disrupted by Xiao Chen’s sudden invasion.
“Go!”
On Divine Martial Palace’s side, a red-clothed man suddenly slashed his finger, and the flying sword beside him immediately turned into a hundred zhang Vermillion Rainbow and slashed towards Xiao Chen.
This descent was extremely swift. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the air. Xiao Chen controlled the Veluriyam Treasure Pagoda while raising his cultivation power. With a flick of his sleeve, his palm power surged out and transformed into a golden palm print in the air. With a “clang” sound, the flying sword was blocked thirty feet away.
On the other side, the people from the Profound Frost Pavilion also launched an attack on Xiao Chen. Everyone outside couldn’t help but be shocked. The intentions of Divine Martial Palace and the Profound Frost Pavilion couldn’t be more obvious. Because of the sudden invasion of Xiao Chen, the two families had to work together to eliminate Xiao Chen. No matter what, they wouldn’t let Celestial Pogoda reap any benefits.
