As the Universe Turns - Chapter 729
Chapter 729 Chaos
At this moment, the Tianwu King had apparently sensed the hidden killing intent within the Dragon Pearl. However, when he discovered it, it was already a step too late.
This Dragon Pearl was not a real Dragon Pearl, but a destructive magic treasure. There were many symbols inside, and once it detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Cang Fengzi pinched the seal on his hand and immediately detonated the rune. With a loud “rumble”, a terrifying force surged out, and even some cultivators who were nearby coughed up blood and flew backwards. The stairs above the hall collapsed, and the pillars collapsed. The entire hall was instantly filled with smoke and dust, and rumbling sounds echoed endlessly.
Looking at the Emperor of Heaven, his clothes had been blown up, but a black armor was revealed. That black armor was a magic treasure, the Black Tortoise Armor. Without this Black Tortoise Armor to protect him, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn’t died at such a close range just now.
However, the red-robed Demonic Concubine was not so lucky. Even though the Emperor of Heaven had blocked it for her at that moment, she was still heavily blown away. Her body was drenched in blood. Obviously, her internal organs had been shattered, and blood was gushing out of her mouth. It was obvious that she would not be able to survive.
As for Cang Fengzi and the other two middle-aged men, they had already made preparations in advance and had specially made spirit talismans to protect them, but they were completely unharmed at this moment.
“Demoness! Three years ago, you killed two of my senior brothers. Pay with your life today!”
The middle-aged man on the left shouted loudly. He raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it at the red-clothed demonic woman. With a “chi” sound, fresh blood splashed out again, but the red-clothed demonic woman’s sword pierced through his chest.
“Hong’er!”
The Tianwu King’s eyes were about to split apart, but he was stopped by Cang Fengzi’s sword strike. His body froze, and before he could go over to rescue him, the middle-aged man on the right slashed his sword as well. The red-clothed Demonic Belle’s face had long since turned pale, “Great King, save me …”
Chi!
A loud sound rang out as blood sprayed all over the pillars of the hall. Before the Demon Concubine could finish her words, her head had already been sliced off by the middle-aged man’s sword. With a “gudong” sound, she rolled down towards His Highness. Her eyes were still wide open, and her appearance was extremely terrifying.
“Ai Fei!”
The Tianwu King was about to go crazy. At this moment, the disciples outside Qingfeng Mountain, apart from a few older senior brothers, knew the purpose of their trip. The rest of the disciples didn’t even know. They hadn’t recovered yet and were staring blankly at the scene before them. Could it be that Master had died here three years ago?
“Take revenge for Master! Kill this Thief King!”
The leading senior apprentice-brother shouted. He immediately took out his Immortal Sword and rushed towards the palace. The rest of the disciples finally regained their senses. Although their seniority was not deep, they knew what to do at this moment. They did not hesitate. They did not fear life or death and rushed towards the palace with their swords, wanting to kill the Tianwu King.
“Heavenly Martial King! For the past ten years, you have helped the evil and slaughtered us. Today, the heavens are going to kill you!”
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures barged in from outside. Clearly, it was not only the people from Qingfeng Mountain who had come to assassinate the Heavenly Martial King today.
In these past few years, the Tianwu King had killed a ruthless nature and forced the various factions below to suffer unspeakably. They did not hear any complaints and continued to be unruly all day long. It was no coincidence that today’s matter was happening.
Very quickly, the other sects that were completely unaware of this seemed to have reached a consensus at this moment. Rather than being oppressed every year, it would be better to go against it today!
Everyone rushed towards the hall with their swords in their hands, wanting to kill the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor’s eyes were about to split open, bloodshot, “You damned cultivators, this Emperor is going to shred you into ten thousand pieces!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body trembled, and his aura enveloped him. He wasn’t afraid of the flying sword that was attacking him from afar. He raised his palm and circulated an unparalleled aura of Astral Martial Arts. He slapped his palm at the xiuzhe that rushed up in front of him.
With a “bang”, the cultivator was unable to dodge. The Genuine energy shield was instantly broken, and his entire head was instantly smashed into a mess of flesh and blood. His brain slurred, and even his primordial spirit was unable to escape.
The entire Heavenly Martial Palace was in a state of chaos. The outside was also in chaos. Experts from all parts of the Heavenly Martial Palace were rushing towards the Heavenly Martial Palace.
Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er exchanged a glance. The two of them were extremely agile. Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, they disappeared in a flash.
It turned out that Xiao Chen had discovered the murderous aura of the white-haired old man in the Shi Feng Forest that day. Even though Cang Fengzi had hidden the murderous aura so deeply that even Meng Xian’er had not noticed it, he could not conceal it from Xiao Chen. That was why Xiao Chen had concluded that the Heavenly Martial Palace would be in complete chaos today. It was a good opportunity to obtain the map of the Heavenly Martial Palace.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the two of them quickly arrived at the secret hall behind the Heavenly Martial Palace. They saw four guards guarding the entrance of the secret hall. Seeing the two of them suddenly appear, the four guards were shocked, “Who is it! Stop!”
Meng Xian’er waved her hand and a scarlet flower flew out of her sleeve. “Sniffing the fragrance of the flower into your dreams, is that good?”
When the four guards smelled the fragrance of the Dream Soul Flower, they immediately fell asleep.
Xiao Chen opened the door of the hall with a single palm strike. The two of them immediately went into the hall. The secret hall had many mechanisms, and the restrictions were also very powerful. However, who were the two of them? A mere restriction mechanism could only delay for a while longer.
Half an incense stick later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the innermost floor of the secret hall. Obviously, Meng Xian’er had already investigated it clearly before coming here. The map of Wuwang Sea was hidden in this hall.
“The restrictions inside are very heavy. There’s no need for Fairy to come in.”
Xiao Chen ignored the restrictions in the entire hall. His divine sense swept through the restrictions as if there was no obstruction. He immediately found the map. He reached out his hand and took it from the air. The box immediately opened automatically. The map inside had already arrived in his hand in an instant.
This map was no small matter. In the entire Imperial City, this was the only map. Not only was it accurate, it only needed to inject a single strand of Spiritual Energy to reveal its current location.
After obtaining the map, the two of them exchanged glances. Without further delay, they immediately walked out of the hall. When they left the hall, a large group of experts suddenly came from afar. “Who is it? Stop!”
However, seeing that there were no fewer than a hundred experts, it was obvious that the Tianwu King had sensed that the restriction of the secret hall had been forcefully opened and had sent someone over.
“How dare you break into the Heavenly Martial Palace!”
The two of them immediately flew over. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and his palm power surged out. With a “boom”, the two of them were sent flying. The people behind them were also unable to withstand the palm power and flew out like a boat in a huge wave. By the time they stood up, Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er were nowhere to be seen.
…
Three days later, the two of them had already arrived at the border of the Imperial City. Perhaps, they hadn’t expected that the entire Imperial City would be so large before this.
The incident three days ago had already caused an uproar in the entire Imperial City. On that day, there were hundreds of cultivators who participated in the assassination, but all of them failed. Even Cang Fengzi, who already had the cultivation of the Ruined Heaven Realm in Qingfeng Mountain, had died under the Heavenly Martial King’s Blood Tide Palm. Who would be able to resist its sharpness?
When dusk fell, Xiao Chen and Meng Xian’er had already arrived in front of a secluded valley. Right at this moment, a mysterious aura suddenly caught up with them. The two of them immediately stopped. Meng Xian’er said indifferently, “As expected, we still caught up …”
