As the Universe Turns - Chapter 837
Chapter 837 Extricate Oneself From Trap
In front of the entrance of the cave stood a black shadow. It looked like a human, a ghost, and a ghost. Its entire body was wrapped in black gas. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its body did not have any aura of a living person. It was like a dead spirit from the Jiuyou Realm. It was extremely terrifying.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Chen looked at the black figure and said to Qianluo, “His name is Lu Yan. He was originally the highest ranked person in the Lu Clan, but now he is dead. He only obeys my orders.”
“Lu … Lu Yan …”
Qianluo was still a little scared. She carefully walked back to Xiao Chen’s side and looked at Lu Yan. At this moment, she could clearly feel that this Lu Yan’s aura was stronger than her and Xiao Chen’s. Although he was a dead soul, he was afraid that he already possessed the strength of a Cave True Stage cultivator …
It turned out that just now, Xiao Chen’s mind was in turmoil. He knew that it was impossible for him to break through. If he forcefully broke through, it would be extremely easy for him to go crazy. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly thought of something. Although Lu Yan had just been refined by him, his strength far surpassed Yun Tianzi’s. Why not use this place’s peerless ancestral veins to increase Lu Yan’s strength?
He didn’t expect it to be useful. With the help of the ancestral veins here, Lu Yan had actually increased his strength to about the same level as an early stage Cave Reality cultivator. Although he was only at the early stage of Cave Reality, he was already an immortal soul. Therefore, in some ways, he was even stronger than an ordinary early stage Cave Reality cultivator.
Even though Xiao Chen had not succeeded in breaking through in one go, he had already stepped into the True Cave Stage with half a foot. Right now, almost no one below the True Cave Stage was his opponent, not even the four above him, Beigong Changfeng.
“Boom!”
At this moment, the entire valley suddenly trembled violently. Not only did the valley tremble violently, it seemed as if the entire illusion had trembled violently. Qianluo’s expression changed slightly, “Oh no, this illusion is about to collapse …”
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen immediately made up his mind and flew up the valley with her.
“Go save Senior Guan Zhen!”
“Yes.”
Moments later, the two of them returned to the eight stone steles. This place was already shaking endlessly, and the ground had already cracked open. Guan Zhen saw that the two of them had returned. He smiled and said, “This place is about to collapse. You two still aren’t leaving?”
“I am hasn’t thanked Senior for helping me defend against that person’s internal force, so how can I leave first?”
Xiao Chen said indifferently. Earlier, when he was shocked by the internal force of the Bei Gong clan, it was initially blocked by Fuxi Zither’s zither music, but he was no longer able to distract himself. It was Guan Zhen who blocked the internal force for him.
“Senior Guan Zhen, there’s no need to worry. That ancestral vein has been broken for the time being. I will work with Childe Xiao to break this restriction formation very soon.”
Said Qianluo. While carefully searching for the weaknesses of the eight stone steles, At this moment, the shockwaves in the surroundings were getting more and more intense. Many mountain peaks in this illusion had already begun to collapse. Once the entire illusion collapsed, if they were unable to escape, they would fall into the chaotic void again. This time, they would probably not be as lucky as last time when they entered the Void Realm.
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived near the eight stone steles. With his divine sense, he carefully observed them. These eight stone steles definitely had their weaknesses.
About half an incense stick later, the two of them found the weakness of each stone tablet and began to break through the formation. The layers of restriction runes on it gradually disappeared and eventually dissipated into nothingness.
“The restriction in the formation has been broken. Next, Senior will have to rely on himself.” Xiao Chen looked at the dim array and said indifferently.
“Mm … Gentlemen, please stay away.”
Inner force gradually gathered on Guan Zhen’s body. His clothes were wind-free, and his hair was constantly flying. A surging aura of inner force surged and scattered in all directions.
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He placed his palm on Qianluo’s shoulder and lifted her up. He jumped and flew behind her.
“Drink!”
After the two of them left, Guan Zhen’s internal force trembled and an extremely powerful force dispersed. Instantly, everything nearby was reduced to dust, including the eight chains and eight stone steles.
Even though Xiao Chen was extremely far away, he could still feel that if it weren’t for the cultivators at the True Cave Stage, it would be extremely difficult to resist this profound internal force. Moreover, Guan Zhen’s current cultivation was no longer as strong as it had been in the past. When his cultivation recovered to its peak, he would definitely be a top expert. No wonder Beigong Changfeng was so scared.
“Rumble!”
The entire illusion trembled more and more violently. Xiao Chen and Qianluo flew back to Guan Zhen. Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Congratulations, Senior, for escaping today …”
“Guan Mou’s cultivation base is completely gone. What’s there to be happy about leaving his inner strength empty? Forget it, this is not the time to speak. This place is going to collapse. You and I should think of a way to leave as soon as possible.”
As Guan Zhen spoke, he raised his head and looked up into the sky. There were already many cracks on the sky. Xiao Chen said, “How about Senior Guan’s internal strength, plus I am’s Nine Yin and Nine Yang strength, perhaps we can forcefully break through this illusion.”
“There’s also me! I can …”
Qianluo also walked up, but seeing that her face was still slightly pale, Xiao Chen shook his head, “Your injuries haven’t recovered yet, so it’s not appropriate for you to use your cultivation again.” As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique shook, and a layer of Dipper Qi immediately enveloped his body.
Guan Zhen’s gaze narrowed slightly. At this moment, he naturally felt the power of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang on his body. He said, “Little friend, this Nine Yin and Nine Yang is not ordinary either.”
Xiao Chen said, “It was passed down by a senior. I call him ‘Senior Monster'” After he finished speaking, Inner Essence was extremely lucky and he struck towards the sky of the illusion with his palm.
Guan Zhen did not hesitate. His body was filled with a fierce internal force, like a tiger emerging from the forest, like a dragon soaring into the sea. The two of them were intertwined and unstoppable. They were like two peerless experts. With a “rumble”, the illusion was instantly shattered.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and rushed towards the gap with Qianluo. Guan Zhen stepped into the void and rushed forward as well.
…
In Wushuang City, the surroundings trembled endlessly. Under the impact of this underground force, some dilapidated buildings collapsed, stirring up dust and smoke all over the sky.
On the Thunder Heaven Prison side, Beigong Changfeng and the other three people were still struggling to support the formation. However, at this moment, two terrifying forces rushed up from underground. With a “rumble”, they instantly broke through the formation and the four of them flew backwards.
Immediately after, three figures suddenly flew up from the ground. They were Guan Zhen, Xiao Chen, and Qianluo.
Seeing the three of them coming up, Beigong Changfeng’s face turned deathly pale. With a swipe of his finger, a green sword flew towards Xiao Chen.
“Zheng!”
With a sharp sound, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the flying sword with one hand. He coldly and indifferently said, “Beigong Changfeng, we finally meet …”
“You …”
Bei Gong’s face was filled with shock. He clearly did not succeed in breaking through. How was this possible? How could his profound strength surpass his own by so much? It was only three years! It was only three years!
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold. He waved his hand and the sword flew back. With a “bang”, Beigong Changfeng was sent flying.
“Master!”
A black-clothed man immediately rushed up and supported Beigong Changfeng. This person was Beigong Changfeng’s eldest disciple and the person who captured Qianluo that day. His cultivation talent was higher than Feng Wuyin’s.
At this moment, when he looked at the white-haired man in the distance, a look of fear involuntarily appeared in his eyes. How could such a strong person be disguised as him?
“Array … Array! Capture him!”
Beigong Changfeng’s expression was somewhat panicked. Beigong Clan’s experts had already set up the formation nearby. At this moment, everyone condensed their formation and the other three old men also attacked. However, at this moment, a black shadow appeared out of thin air. It was so lifeless that everyone who rushed forward was shaken to the point that they spat out blood and flew back. Including Old man Qingyi, the other three people.
“Then … that’s!”
Everyone in the distance was shocked. Beigong Changfeng was even more shocked. He recognized that it was Lu Yan, but didn’t Lu Yan already die at the hands of this brat? Why at this moment … he really couldn’t explain what he was seeing in front of him.
Along with Lu Yan’s appearance, everyone in the vicinity did not dare to act rashly and stood motionlessly on the spot. They did not doubt that this dead soul only needed to raise its hand to cause countless casualties.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could vaguely feel the aura from before. This place was not suitable for him to stay for long. He turned around and looked at Guan Zhen. “Then Senior Guan, let’s part here,” he said slowly.
“Perhaps one day, you will find the answer in your heart.” Guan Zhen suddenly said this to him. Qianluo, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment. She cupped her hands and said, “Senior Guan Zhen, see you in the future.”
“Farewell.”
Guan Zhen raised his hand and stepped into the void. He flew over Beigong Changfeng’s head and left with a burst of laughter. No one dared to stop him.
“Luo Die, we’re leaving too.”
Xiao Chen glanced at Qianluo and took her in another direction. Before he left, he said, “Beigong Changfeng, I won’t kill you today. For someone like you, living is more painful than dying.”
At the end of his sentence, he waved his sleeve and a cold light suddenly flew over. Beigong Changfeng was immediately shocked and subconsciously used his cultivation to block it. However, he discovered that this cold light was not coming towards him, but behind him …
“Ming Xuan!”
When Beigong Changfeng realized this, it was already too late. With a’chi ‘sound, the Blood Transformation Needle accurately shot into the man in black behind him.
“Teacher …”
The black-clothed man only said the word “teacher”. Before the word “respected” could be said, his entire body had already turned into a dried corpse, and he no longer had any aura of life.
“Ming Xuan–”
Beigong Changfeng’s eyes were about to split open as he hugged his beloved corpse. He raised his head and let out a long howl, glaring at Xiao Chen’s departing back. His eyes were bloodshot, and his ears seemed to echo with the words, “A person like you, living is more painful than dying …”
‘”Xiao Yichen … Xiao Yichen!” Ah–“The Northern Palace Chief was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Grandfather … Grandfather! Senior Brother … Senior Brother!”
A red figure flew over from afar. It was Bei Gong Ruoqing. When she saw this scene in front of her, her eyes instantly turned blood red as she looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. “Xiao Yichen, I must make you feel as if you were going to die …”
