As the Universe Turns - Chapter 563
Chapter 563 Ancient Land Dispute
Twilight gradually closed in. A trace of killing intent suddenly appeared in the cold wind. Xiao Chen stood on the edge of the cliff and pondered for a long time. Finally, he moved and flew towards the ancient silent land in front of him.
The vast ancient land was boundless. The towering and strange peaks that stood under the curtain of night were vaguely like stone statues of ancient gods. They were silent in this ancient land that had been lost for tens of thousands of years, causing people to be respectful and fearful.
Over the past few days, the Land of Ancient Desolation had attracted countless cultivators. Everyone wanted to see the Ancient Land and find the ancient treasure.
Of course, there were some people who were fortunate enough to find one or two rare treasures left behind from ancient times. However, these rare treasures were often the source of death. It was good to be fortunate enough to find a rare treasure, but it was a blessing in disguise. Whether or not they could escape alive was also a question.
This Ancient Desolation Land was boundless, surrounded by layers upon layers. Right now, Xiao Chen was only on the outer layer of the Ancient Desolation Land, and he had yet to enter the center of the Ancient Desolation Land.
It was not an easy task to enter the center of the Ancient Desolation Lands. There were layers of barriers in the Ancient Desolation Lands. If there was no correct method to forcefully break through the barriers, most of them would die in the barrier cracks.
Around midnight, Xiao Chen was riding the wind when a black shadow suddenly pounced in front of him. Speaking of which, Xiao Chen quickly moved sideways and the black shadow flashed past him. It was like the sharp claws of a ferocious beast that tore open the skirt on his chest.
Before he could recover from his shock, the black shadow instantly rushed back. Xiao Chen hurriedly urged his profound arts, and Ling Xian Step barely managed to dodge the attack of the black shadow.
“What is it?”
Xiao Chen’s gaze focused, but he was still unable to see what that black shadow was. That thing was too fast, so fast that even his divine sense was difficult to detect.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Just as he was pondering, the black shadow attacked him again. This time, it was even faster. Xiao Chen was almost unable to dodge it. After repeating it a few times, he finally saw that it was a skeleton without skin or flesh. He didn’t know what kind of monster it was in the Land of Ancient Desolation.
“Fiend!”
Suddenly, the skeleton attacked again. Xiao Chen Ling Xian Step moved and jumped more than ten zhang to the side. He quickly formed a seal with both of his hands, “Clear Qi of Heaven and Earth, Slaughter Evil-Break!”
The moment the incantation fell, a golden light profound seal suddenly appeared on his hands and struck towards the skeleton. With a’chi ‘sound, the skeleton seemed to be very afraid of the Taoist magic seal. After being hit, it continuously hid back and finally let out two strange noises and unwillingly left.
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. There was still a Xuan Qing magic seal on his hand. He thought to himself that such a powerful monster had already appeared just outside the Ancient Desolation Land. If it weren’t for the Evil Execution Secret Seal that Master had taught him back then, it would have been difficult to deal with such a skeletal monster. Heaven knows what else there was inside the Ancient Land. Wei Yang entered it alone, hoping that nothing would happen to her.
Just like that, he continued to walk in. In the middle of the night, he encountered many strange things. Some of them were skeletons like before, some were dead spirits, and some were demonic spirits that had long since died. For some reason, these things related to death always appeared beside him without warning.
Finally, when dawn approached, these strange things slowly dissipated. Xiao Chen walked all night without encountering any spirit formations, so he must still be at the periphery of the Land of Ancient Desolation.
It was about noon today when he arrived outside an unknown valley. Not long after he approached, he was about to step into the valley when he suddenly heard a murderous sound coming from inside.
Xiao Chen instinctively hid behind a boulder and stretched out his divine sense. There were actually four or five sects fighting in the valley. There were a total of about five or six hundred people. The ground was in a mess, and blood stained the valley red.
These sects were all the righteous sects of the Immortal Origin Five Regions. Originally, there was a profound friendship between them, but now, for some unknown reason, it was as if they were possessed by a demon. Their eyes were red with killing. If the people outside the sect saw this scene, how could they believe it?
“Hand over the Flowing Fire Pearl!”
Hundreds of people were chasing after a middle-aged man dressed in red. The middle-aged man’s body was shrouded in a faint red aura. It seemed that this was why he was being chased by the people behind him.
“You want the Flowing Fire Pearl? If you have the ability, come and get it!”
The red-clothed middle-aged man’s eyes had already turned red. He had seized this Flowing Fire Pearl from more than a thousand people, so he would not hand it over even if he died.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and tightly held a crimson flame pearl in his palm. As the profound energy was activated, countless blazing flames were released from that small pearl, instantly burning the dozen or so people who rushed forward into charcoal.
Outside the valley, Xiao Chen’s expression froze slightly. What was this thing? To think that he would be so powerful …
“Hahaha!”
Inside the valley, the red-clothed middle-aged man laughed loudly, “Anyone else who is unconvinced, bring them over if you have the ability! Hahaha …”
Unexpectedly, the laughter did not stop. Suddenly, a sword light slashed towards him. Before the middle-aged man in red could react, he felt a pain on his shoulder. Blood sprayed out of his mouth. The arm holding the Flowing Fire Bead was actually sliced off.
“Ah!”
The red-clothed middle-aged man’s face twisted. He didn’t care about the pain at this moment, nor did he care about the broken arm. Instead, he only cared about snatching the Fire Return Pearl.
“Get lost!”
The swordsman was an old man dressed in green. Seeing the red-robed middle-aged man pouncing over, he flipped his palm and slapped his head fiercely. With a “bang”, his Heavenly Spirit was instantly shattered and his life was killed.
“Flowing Fire Pearl … Flowing Fire Pearl is with him!”
Seeing that the Flowing Fire Pearl had fallen into the hands of the green-clothed old man, hundreds of people from several sects swarmed forward.
After the azure-clothed old man obtained the Flowing Fire Pearl, a faint aura of Flowing Fire immediately appeared around his body. At this moment, he saw hundreds of people coming to fight for it. Just as the azure-clothed old man was about to flee, a palm seal suddenly came down from the sky. “Fellow Daoist, if you want to leave, leave behind the Flowing Fire Pearl!”
The green-clothed old man was caught off guard when this palm force came. He hurriedly raised both his hands to resist, but with a “bang”, he was pushed back by this palm force. The Flowing Fire Pearl in his hand flew out again before it could be heated up.
“Flowing Fire Pearl …”
The person who had just struck down with his palm was an old man dressed in gray. Seeing the Flowing Fire Pearl flying out of Old man Qingyi’s hand, he did not hesitate and instantly unleashed his movement technique to charge over.
After Old man Qingyi lost the Flowing Fire Pearl, the faint red aura of the Flowing Fire disappeared. Seeing the gray-clothed old man snatching the Flowing Fire Pearl, he did not hesitate and rushed forward in an instant.
