As the Universe Turns - Chapter 913
Chapter 913 High God Restraint
Looking at the withered Yellow Springs Flower in his hand, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart. Even the Yellow Springs Flower would wither and wither in his hand …
“This brat, exactly where did he come from …”
The Longevity Sect Master was puzzled. Previously, Xiao Chen wasn’t afraid of the Ghost King’s Yin Fiend Qi, but now, if he said he wasn’t afraid of the Yellow Springs Flower’s death Qi, then why did it wither so easily even when it was in his hands?
“This person is indeed not simple …”
The Yin Ghost King also had doubts in his heart. Among the people here, it was obvious that he had the most doubts about Xiao Chen. The Yin Fiend Technique he cultivated was something that even Baimei Shangren and the others would not dare to ignore. However, that day, this brat clearly did not fear his Yin Fiend Qi at all.
“It seems that the profound arts that Childe Xiao cultivated are indeed different from others. He is not even afraid of the Yellow Springs Flower’s death energy.”
Fairy Red Butterfly smiled and walked up. Xiao Chen threw away the withered Yellow Springs Flower in his hand and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”
The aura of the Underworld in front of them was getting heavier and heavier. Other than the Yin Ghost King, the other three felt suffocated. The Longevity Sect Master said, “I thought the aura of the Underworld here should have almost dissipated, but I didn’t expect it to be so heavy …”
Although Xiao Chen felt a little uncomfortable, he was still able to withstand it. With a flick of his sleeve, he immediately condensed a layer of True Qi in front of him. With a flash of his foot, Fairy Red Butterfly arrived beside him and smiled. “I can’t stand this Underworld Qi, so I have to trouble Childe to block it for me …”
“The aura of the Underworld ahead is too heavy. I have to trouble the Ghost King.”
The Longevity Sect Master also stopped and did not continue forward. The Yin Ghost King did not say anything, and his strength trembled. Blood mist immediately enveloped his entire body, completely blocking the aura of the Underworld.
Just like this, after walking for about two hours, a pile of black rubble suddenly appeared in front of them. As they entered, the rubble began to float up. It was like meteoric iron, of varying sizes, small like fists and big like houses and palaces. All of them floated in the air. Soon, the sky was obscured and the surroundings became dim.
There was no aura of the Underworld here, but there was an extremely strong restrictive force. Clearly, the few of them had already arrived at the first level of the restriction.
“Be careful … you mustn’t be touched by these stones.”
Baimei Shangren swept through the dust and immediately condensed a layer of True Qi around his body. The first time, that was more than 300 years ago, many people had actually come, but their cultivation was not enough. In the end, less than half of them had managed to escape alive.
Several decades ago, they had come again. Although they had passed the first layer of the restriction, the more people and higher their cultivation, the heavier the restriction would be. In the end, they had no choice but to withdraw from the second layer of the restriction.
“Childe Xiao, be careful. Avoid these stones. Don’t get touched.”
Fairy Red Butterfly’s expression also became serious. Although they had passed this restriction last time, they still didn’t dare to be careless. After all, it was the restriction left behind by the High God. Even now, less than 10% of the restriction was left, but in the end, no matter how high their cultivation was, they were still only mortals. Some powers were unable to resist it.
“Not only will these stones petrify you, but once you are sucked into the vortex of restrictions in the sky, you will be torn to shreds in an instant. If you are lucky, perhaps your primordial spirit will be able to escape. Do you see the black vortex in the sky?”
This time, even the Longevity Sect Master was kindly reminding him. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky. He felt his scalp go numb. There was actually an endless vortex in the sky. If he was dragged into it, even his primordial spirit would not be able to escape.
“Little friend Xiao … be careful!”
Suddenly, Baimei Shangren issued a warning. Then, he swept his whisk through the dust and a Genuine energy condensed together. With a “bang”, a rock attacking Xiao Chen was shattered.
Xiao Chen slowly lowered his head, as if he hadn’t realized how terrifying these stones were. Because he hadn’t come back that year, he hadn’t seen those people who had died tragically under these stones being touched by these stones. Their entire bodies immediately petrified, eventually shattered, turned into these stones, and began to attack others.
Fairy Red Butterfly turned around and saw that he didn’t have the slightest bit of vigilance. He frowned and said, “Childe Xiao, I’m not joking with you this time. If this stone touches you, it will immediately turn into these stones. Look at the surrounding stones. Maybe one of them is …”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Chen suddenly extended his hand towards her. He instantly stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side. With a “whoosh” sound, a stone the size of a millstone flew over from where she was just now.
Fairy Red Butterfly immediately broke out in cold sweat. Xiao Chen narrowed his eyebrows and said, “Don’t speak anymore. Watch out for these stones …”
Amongst the people here, it was obvious that his spiritual sense was the sharpest. In that instant, it was unknown whether it was an illusion or something. He actually sensed that some of these stones actually had the consciousness to attack people on their own initiative. Could it be that stones also produce consciousness? Strange …
Along the way, everyone was cautious and didn’t dare to let down their guard. It was only after a day and night that they finally passed through this restriction.
The stones gradually disappeared behind them. The few of them finally heaved a sigh of relief. They thought back to the last time they passed through this place, several people had died. They originally thought that they had passed the restriction just like that, but only later did they realize that the second restriction was even more terrifying.
The front gradually brightened, but the aura of the Underworld also appeared again. This time, Xiao Chen and the Dark Ghost King also walked in front, followed by the other three.
After walking for about two hours, the aura of the Underworld around him gradually disappeared. The disappearance of the aura of the Underworld meant that the second level of the restriction had arrived.
“Can I pass this time?”
The Longevity Sect Master turned around and looked at the two people behind him. Baimei Shangren and Fairy Red Butterfly both frowned deeply. What they were worried about was not that they would still be unable to pass through the second layer, but that after this layer of restrictions passed, there would be an even more terrifying layer of restrictions behind them.
“In the past few thousand years, no one has entered. Try it …”
Baimei Shangren took a few steps forward, looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “Little friend Xiao, can you hold on?”
“It doesn’t matter …”
Xiao Chen looked at the towering boulders in front of him. Black clouds shrouded the boulders. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It seemed to be a little terrifying.
“Then let’s go.”
The Dark Ghost King stepped forward and was the first to enter the restricted area. The few people behind exchanged glances and immediately followed.
After all five of them entered, the black clouds suddenly surged and streaks of lightning began to cut through the sky. The white eyebrows said, “Don’t separate this time. We need to work together to block this restrictive divine lightning …”
“Boom!”
Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of heavenly lightning had already struck down. Wherever the lightning struck, even the void seemed to have been torn apart and thick smoke emitted. Everyone didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately activated their strength to resist the lightning attack.
After a long time, the more she moved forward, the more terrifying the restriction lightning in the sky became. Fairy Red Butterfly felt a little exhausted and two magic treasures flew up beside her to help her resist the restriction.
Baimei Shangren and the Longevity Sect Master also took out their own magic treasures. First, they could withstand the heavenly lightning. Second, they could also use the magic treasures to recover Genuine energy.
“Little friend Xiao, the restrictions in front of you are very heavy. Do you have any magic treasures to protect you?”
Baimei Shangren’s eyebrows furrowed. Facing the increasingly terrifying restrictions, everyone could only protect themselves now. They could no longer care about others.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was naturally thinking of Fuxi Zither and Di Gu Sword. If he took out these two supreme treasures, it would be easy to resist the power of the restriction. However, when he thought about leaving Qinling Mountains that day, Qin Guan reminded him not to reveal his magic treasure so easily.
“Don’t worry.”
In the next moment, he flicked his sleeve and a green light flew out from his sleeve, gradually turning into an ancient green lamp.
This was the Soul-absorbing Green Lamp. It was originally found in an ancient cave by Immortal North Ancient Realm many years ago. It was later passed on to his disciple Feng Zhuyun. However, during that battle, this magic treasure was taken away by Patriarch Guituo’s Flying Flower Lian You Umbrella.
At this moment, under Xiao Chen’s curse seal, specks of light surrounded the lamp. Azure mist filled the surroundings, barely able to help him defend against the restrictive divine lightning in the sky.
Right now, the five of them were all holding magic treasures and going deeper. Even though their cultivation levels were extraordinary and they had magic treasures protecting them, they were gradually becoming more and more strenuous under the restrictive lightning.
Seeing that the restrictions in front of him were getting heavier and heavier, the Longevity Sect Master had gradually begun to retreat. However, when he thought about it, not only was there the Immortal World magic artifact left behind by the High God back then, there were also many ancient treasures that had been buried. If he could find one or two ancient mental techniques, wouldn’t he be able to enter the Sage realm in the near future?
“Rumble!”
The thunder grew louder and louder. The few of them were almost unable to hold on any longer. The Longevity Sect Master glanced at the other two and said, “Do you still want to continue forward?”
“This restriction should be coming to an end. Do you want to turn back at this moment?”
Fairy Red Butterfly looked forward. She gritted her teeth and continued walking forward. However, at this moment, killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Longevity Sect Master. The more people there were, the heavier the restriction would be. At this moment, there were five people. However, five people were unable to resist this restriction. What if there was one less person …
At this moment, Xiao Chen also keenly sensed the killing intent coming from behind him. His palm had already secretly gathered strength. If the Longevity Sect Master attacked him at this moment, his control over life and death would not be merciful. Although his current cultivation was inferior to his opponent’s, it was still unknown who would win in the end.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Baimei Shangren suddenly stopped. He swept the dust and quickly condensed a layer of True Qi under his body. Seeing that his expression had suddenly become so nervous, Fairy Red Butterfly asked with a frown, “What happened to Master?”
“Something’s wrong …”
At this moment, Baimei Shangren’s face turned a little pale, as if he had seen something terrible. The Longevity Sect Master also withdrew the killing intent from his eyes and looked at him, “What exactly happened?”
Baimei Shangren muttered, “Someone has come here and triggered some kind of restriction …”
Hearing this, Fairy Red Butterfly and the Longevity Sect Master’s expressions changed. How could this be? No one has entered this place for thousands of years. Even they were not able to go this far last time …
