As the Universe Turns - Chapter 938
Chapter 938 Heaven Covering Array
Xiao Chen walked a few miles forward, and he could already feel a very suffocating pressure. What exactly was there here?
After walking forward for a while, even the strange flood dragon seemed to become uneasy. Xiao Chen stopped and lowered his voice to a very low voice, “Hostility, what did you find?”
The strange flood dragon’s eyes revealed a fierce light. A pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the dark place in front of him, as if there was something in front of him.
Xiao Chen looked at it and continued to walk forward. However, the further he went, the more he could feel a dangerous aura, as if it was a warning to strangers not to approach him.
Finally, a person and a flood dragon arrived at a deeper place. They saw rocks and mountains standing in the surroundings. Each of these mountains seemed to be filled with restrictions. With so many mountains standing here, how powerful were those restrictions?
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but recall that back then, after the Emperor discussed his sword, he broke into the Endless Mountain Range in order to avoid Shen Quezi’s pursuit. At that time, he discovered many Devil Restraint Mountains in the Endless Mountain Range. There were many Devil Palaces, and the restrictions in each of them were extremely heavy.
“Roar, roar …”
At this moment, even the strange flood dragon could not help but let out a low roar. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its scales seemed to stand upside down. Its gaze was fiercely glaring at the dark place in front of it.
“Roar, roar …”
Xiao Chen’s voice grew deeper and deeper, filled with a fierce aura. He glanced at it and said in a low voice, “Be ruthless, don’t make a sound.”
He turned around ruthlessly and was able to understand his words. Only then did he stop letting out that deep roar, but his gaze was still ferocious as he looked ahead.
Xiao Chen continued to walk forward. The further he went, the more he could feel the gradually increasing restrictions around him. The light became dimmer and dimmer, making it difficult for him to see anything.
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from not far away, as if a stone had been crushed.
“Who is it?”
Xiao Chen immediately stretched out a wisp of his divine sense and saw a figure. That figure was none other than Wei Yang.
“Wei Yang? Why are you here?”
After confirming that it wasn’t an illusion, Xiao Chen’s expression became exceptionally solemn. Why did Wei Yang come here so late at night? Why didn’t you tell yourself?
“Why are you here?”
Hua Weiyang walked over. Obviously, he didn’t expect him to be like him. Night explored the clouds. Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Why didn’t you tell me that you came here?”
“I…”
Hua Weiyang thought for a moment and didn’t know how to answer. He straightened his chest, put his hands on his waist, and snorted softly, “Then you didn’t tell me.”
“Shh.”
Xiao Chen suddenly made a silent gesture and gently pressed down on her hand. However, when he touched it, it was as if he had touched ice. He couldn’t help but tremble slightly. When he looked at her again, his gaze was obviously filled with suspicion.
Right at this moment, the strand of divine sense from the daytime suddenly transmitted towards the two of them. It was like someone’s divine sense, causing them to have nowhere to hide. They could only hold their breaths at the same time.
“Immortal? Demon? Buddha?”
There seemed to be a confused voice coming from the depths of their feet. Immediately after, another strange sense shot towards the two of them. This time, the strange sense came even stronger, breaking through the layers of restrictions as if it carried a mysterious power.
“Watch out!”
Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang instantly unleashed Ling Xian Step, avoiding the attack of that strange sensation.
“Rumble!”
At this time, the surroundings suddenly trembled slightly. Layers of restriction runes suddenly appeared on the mountain peaks around the two of them, as if they were suppressing something.
“Immortal? Demon? Buddha?”
A strange voice sounded once again. However, along with the rumbling of the earth, the two of them could not hear it clearly. A terrifying aura grew heavier and heavier. Even though Xiao Chen’s cultivation had already reached the Transformation Realm, he still felt suffocated at this moment.
A dangerous signal gradually approached the two of them. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s sharp divine sense sensed the danger. He and Wei Yang had to leave this place as soon as possible and could not stay any longer.
“Let’s go!”
Without further ado, Xiao Chen immediately pulled Hua Weiyang back. The restrictions here were getting heavier and heavier. If he didn’t leave, it would be hard to imagine what the consequences would be.
A moment later, the two of them finally retreated from the mysterious demon domain and returned to the sea of clouds. Xiao Chen frowned deeply. He thought that his strength was already very strong now, but he didn’t expect that there was indeed a saying that was called the Heavens beyond the Heavens.
“Then what exactly is inside …”
Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed as she stared motionlessly at the Devil Domain hidden in the sea of clouds. It was obvious that she had also come for that strange sense of the day, wanting to see what was inside, but she never expected to discover such a mysterious place here.
Xiao Chen held her somewhat cold hand and looked at her. “The Profound Yin Qi in your body is about to return. Why did you come to such a dangerous place?”
“I…”
Hua Weiyang pursed his lips. He didn’t know what to say. He snorted softly. Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at the mysterious and unknown ancient land. He said, “Let’s go back first. Hidden Cloud Sea, don’t come back for the time being. As for this baleful aura, I will think of a way.”
When the two of them returned to Desire-less Heaven, it was already late at night. In the next few days, the baleful aura outside had become heavier and heavier. In some places where their defenses were weak, even the formations could not resist the corrosion of the baleful aura.
The entire Lustless Heaven was shrouded in layers of black clouds. Even at noon, the sun could not shine in. Inside, it was dim, as if it had returned to the three years when the sun had not been seen. That was everyone’s nightmare.
At this moment, in Lustless palace, Xiao Chen was sitting alone at the head of the hall. The space between his eyebrows was locked tightly. He had to think of a way to get out. Everyone’s access was blocked now. In a few days, once the baleful energy seeped in, the plants and vegetation in Lustless Heaven would quickly wither. Then, the spiritual energy would disappear. The final result was the collapse of Lustless Heaven.
He could make everyone evacuate early, but after Lustless Heaven fell, all the efforts he had made over the years were in vain. All of those Spiritual Bloodline Force would be displaced and would even cause a devastating impact to the surrounding area. Cultivators could still dodge it, but those mortals would be wiped out in an instant. At that time, he would be a sinner for thousands of years.
At this moment, when he closed his eyes, the scene of Ning Village being destroyed appeared in his mind. He could not let such a thing happen, nor could he let mortals suffer from it.
Because he was once a mortal and grew up in an ordinary mountain village. He knew that pain was helpless. Mortals were too weak. Any natural or man-made calamity would make them look small and helpless.
“Your Excellency.”
At this moment, two figures walked in. It was Bai Luan and Zi Yuan. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at them. “What’s the situation outside?”
The two of them frowned. After a while, Zi Yuan opened his mouth and said intermittently, “There are … there are several formations in several places … all of them have lost Spiritual Energy.”
Actually, Xiao Chen had already expected that if this continued, the final result would be like this. The sudden change in Lustless Heaven had most likely alerted the other sects of the Xianyuan Five Realms Correct Demon Dao, including the Heavenly Gate, and they must have noticed something unusual.
“Your Excellency, what do you plan to do now?”
Bai Luan raised her head and asked him.
She frowned deeply and looked nervous. Right now, the most direct way was to evacuate everyone. However, once she abandoned Lustless Heaven, wouldn’t Lustless Heaven also disperse? She knew that Excellency’s temper would never give up.
But this time, she looked at Xiao Chen with her brows knitted tightly. She lowered her head and remained silent. In the past, in their memories, Xiao Chen had always been decisive. This was the first time they had seen Xiao Chen hesitate so much.
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally raised his head. At this moment, his gaze became very focused. He only heard him say, “Using the sealing formation, completely block Lustless Heaven and the Hidden Cloud Sea.”
Hearing this, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan were stunned for a moment. It took them a while to react. Using the sealing formation to completely block the two sides, what kind of powerful formation was needed? What kind of formations did he need?
“Heaven-covering Formation.”
Xiao Chen looked at the surprised two and said these three words.
The Heaven-shrouding Formation was something he had seen from an ancient book left behind by Lustless Heaven. This sealing formation required extremely strong profound strength, so he could not unleash it alone. From the current situation, he needed at least six Quasi-Saints, and the more the better.
Zi Yuan muttered, “But the Heaven-shrouding Formation needs …”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. At this moment, he seemed to have finally made his decision. There was nothing he could do now. He could only look at the two of them and say, “Bai Luan, bring someone to Spirit Ruins Realm, go to Qinling Mountains, and find the Qin Family’s Clan Master, Qin Guan. This means that he will definitely come to help.” In addition, Tianzhu City has an Illusory Moon Square. If you go find Fairy Red Butterfly, she should also come to help. If she can call Baimei Shangren again, then it would be even better … ”
At this point, Xiao Chen looked at Zi Yuan and said, “Zi Yuan, bring someone to Dream Immortal Sect to find out what happened in Dust Fairy. Also, go to Dingfeng City to find Lady Rakshasa. The two of them should also come to help.”
“Alright!”
The two of them nodded at the same time. After a while, Zi Yuan asked again, “Then isn’t Excellency going to look for Tianzhu Palace? That day, sick Qilin gave Excellency a golden leaf …”
“No.”
Xiao Chen reached out and interrupted her. He knew all of Qin Guan’s people, but no matter what the other party was or what kind of relationship he had with his father, he still didn’t know them.
“Alright …”
Zi Yuan nodded slightly and understood what he meant. She did not continue.
Xiao Chen said, “There is no time to delay. You should do it as soon as possible. You must invite them over within seven days. During this period, I will use a formation to temporarily prevent the baleful aura outside from penetrating.”
“Your Excellency, don’t worry. We will definitely complete it as soon as possible.”
Bai Luan cupped her hands and exchanged glances with Zi Yuan. The two of them did not hesitate and instantly turned into two sickly shadows, heading outside.
