Chapter 523: Departure (Part 2)
Chapter 523: Departure (Part 2)
It doesn't reach the level of instantly comprehending the grand array. In my opinion, if Cangwu Mountain wins, you can leave me here to comprehend it slowly. When I'm done, I'll take you with me. If Cangwu Mountain loses, the Venerable Transcender of Abyss Sect will naturally rescue us."
Luo Chen's expression turned grim.
Han Zhan could guess what he was thinking.
After returning, if Abyss Sect found out that he had refined the Imperial Flowing Elixir and Shape Transformation Pills for the Demon Race, Luo Chen would surely face dire consequences.
Perhaps the Demons of Cangwu Mountain valued him for his alchemy skills.
But Abyss Sect?
That was the sacred ground of the Dan Saint, who later left Abyss Sect and went to the Central Continent! Even without the Dan Saint, Abyss Sect's foundation was profound, and they wouldn't lack a mere Third Stage Pill Master.
Han Zhan consoled, "There's no other way. This is the extent of my abilities. If there was a corresponding key, it would be great."
"Key?" Luo Chen was taken aback.
Han Zhan nodded, "Yes, this spatial teleportation array is obviously not used by Qingfeng herself, but was built for others. Not everyone is proficient in spatial restrictions, and for such a massive teleportation array, if something goes wrong during the teleportation process, it would be fatal. Therefore, there must be a corresponding key or token to ensure easy activation and a smooth teleportation process."
Upon hearing this explanation, Luo Chen's heart stirred.
He flipped his wrist, and a blue feather appeared in his hand.
It was the one given to him by You Quan, originally from Qingfeng.
Usually, it was used to freely enter and exit the dungeon to obtain the Nascent Soul's essence blood from Tian Yezi.
Seeing the blue feather, Han Zhan couldn't help but exclaim, "Azure Phoenix Feather!"
"With this, in less than three days, give me a moment, and I can activate this array!"
Luo Chen held the Azure Phoenix Feather in front of Han Zhan.
"In that case, please trouble the senior!"
"No problem, no problem," Han Zhan said, receiving the Azure Phoenix Feather. He infused a small amount of his spiritual power into it, and immediately, a layer of hazy blue light spread out, enveloping him as he moved through the array, nodding from time to time.
The more he used the Azure Phoenix Feather, the more amazed he became.
"This treasure doesn't seem like an ordinary feather from the Azure Phoenix, it truly contains a trace of her spatial law power. Luo Chen, the Demons of Cangwu Mountain have been very kind to you!"
Luo Chen smiled awkwardly.
If you want to take, you must first give.
Their kindness towards him had ulterior motives.
At the very least, just now in the Cross-True Hall, he had seen You Quan hastily leaving the battle circle.
The Crow-headed Human form she revealed was clearly the result of consuming the Shape Transformation Pill he had personally refined, allowing her to manifest a human form.
But something must have gone wrong, leading to an incomplete transformation.
It couldn't possibly be a problem with the quality of Luo Chen's pills!
...
The third level of the dungeon!
A figure suddenly appeared.
According to the instructions of the Venerable Transcender from Abyss Sect, this was the exact location where a group of Human Cultivators were imprisoned.
Shenyuan Zhenren rushed in.
As far as he could see, there were Golden Core Cultivators standing anxiously, having heard the commotion.
Seeing his arrival, Haoranzi and the others were stunned.
Shenyuan Zhenren waved his hands repeatedly, and the sound of cracking filled the air, but after several attempts, the prison remained unopened.
It was too rushed!
Shenyuan Zhenren's face sank, and he immediately asked, "Where is Luo Chen of Luo Dust Sect?"
Haoranzi and the others were taken aback, as they naturally recognized this person as a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Human Race, which was why he wanted to rescue them.
"Reporting to the senior, Fellow Daoist Luo Chen was taken away for questioning three years ago and never returned. I fear that the situation is grim."
Shenyuan Zhenren was stunned, and then his face trembled, "Nonsense! He's alive and well, I could still sense his aura here..."
Suddenly, Shenyuan Zhenren's expression changed slightly.
He was here just a moment ago, so where did he go now?
As these thoughts raced through his mind, in the corridor, a bolt of thunder tore through the air.
"Old man, prepare to die!"
Shenyuan Zhenren turned around and patted the five-colored small pagoda, and the five-colored light once again enveloped the thunderbolt.
"Shut up!"
This time, he was truly filled with murderous intent.
Opening his mouth, a crystal-clear small sword flew out.
With just one sword, the mighty force slammed into the struggling Thunder Prison Phoenix, knocking it back into the corner of the dungeon.
Shenyuan Zhenren coldly snorted, stretched out his hand, and the crystal-clear small sword flew back. In the blink of an eye, it passed through dozens of prison cells.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Wherever it passed, the prisons holding the captives were violently shattered.
"Follow me out first!"
Shenyuan Zhenren turned around.
Then he saw, in the corner, a figure struggling to stand up.
A flash of sternness appeared on the old man's face, "Damn it, you deserve to die!"
The crystal-clear small sword flew out again.
...
Above Cangwu Mountain.
You Quan observed the entire battlefield. Ten Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators were divided into two groups, besieging Huan Huan Ancestor and Huiping Monastic.
Although they had numerical superiority, they were actually at a disadvantage.
Even with their true forms revealed and their best abilities unleashed, they were no match for the exquisite skills of the two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Casualties had already occurred!
On the most critical battlefield, Qingfeng, known as the strongest Demon below the Soul Transformation stage, was being fiercely suppressed by the Human Race's Black-robed Elder.
The opponent had even taken out a ring-shaped treasure and was chanting incantations.
Beam after beam of light covered Qingfeng's Azure Phoenix body.
As the light enveloped more and more, Qingfeng's resistance weakened.
However, even in this state, the Black-robed Elder still couldn't step into Cangwu Mountain, remaining at the edge.
"Enough!"
You Quan glanced in another direction, then turned around.
"Little Qing, come back!"
"Thinking of leaving after wasting so much of my energy? It won't be that easy!" The Black-robed Elder snapped his fingers, shooting out three drops of black water towards Qingfeng.
Facing these three drops of black water, Qingfeng let out a shrill cry, and her body was enveloped in azure light.
At that shrill cry, the Daylight Hall, where Cangwu Mountain was located, seemed to resonate.
In the next moment, a divine rainbow shot out, enveloping her.
Stepping on the divine rainbow, Qingfeng once again gained control of space.
"Return!"
With a flash, she returned from outside the mountain.
As soon as she landed, before she could speak, she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
Three drops of black water behind her had turned into three black dots, constantly corroding her body.
Seeing his prey about to escape using the terrain, the black-robed elder, who had been calm, became somewhat annoyed.
"I intended to capture you without harming your cultivation, but you insist on resisting. Don't blame me for being ruthless and crippling you, then refining you into a spirit beast ring."
He took a step forward, almost as fast as Qingfeng, and they both arrived at Cangwu Mountain.
At that moment, a sense of alarm suddenly arose in his mind.
His intuition was rarely wrong; there must be a reason for this.
The black-robed elder abruptly looked up.
Somehow, the dark spring had already moved from the collapsed Cross-Reality Hall to the entrance of the Profound Mysteries Hall, which was suspended high in the clouds.
The black-robed elder's cold eyes looked down at the ravaged Cangwu Mountain. He formed a lotus seal with his hands and suddenly released it.
"Please, Phoenix Empyrean, unleash your divine ability!"
Boom!
The Profound Mysteries Hall trembled.
Within a radius of ten thousand li around Cangwu Mountain, it was as if an earth dragon was rolling, and the ground cracked open.
Pillars of fire soared into the sky.
Inside the Profound Mysteries Hall, misty air filled the area, and a surging heat engulfed the surroundings.
Earthfire surged, and Heavenfire descended.
A spark flew out from the misty air and instantly transformed into endless waves of fire.
In the underground prison, the two dozen Golden Core Cultivators who had just escaped their confinement were at a loss. They watched as their bodies began to burn spontaneously.
"This is..."
Without any sensation, they vanished into nothingness, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.
Just as the Nascent Soul True Man, Shen Yuan, was about to completely annihilate the Thunder Prison Phoenix, his expression changed drastically.
A crystal sword transformed into a sword light, enveloping him. Ignoring everything else, he forcibly flew out of the underground prison.
As soon as he emerged, he saw two wailing figures on the ground, flying towards the outside world.
From a distance, they looked like two huge fireballs.
"Damn, what a strange flame!"
Shen Yuan felt that his flying sword, which he had refined for hundreds of years and had reached the level of a true artifact, was constantly melting.
"Ancestor, save me!"
He cried for help while fleeing.
But the black-robed elder had no time to spare.
Stepping on the edge of an abyss, the sound of surging waves rose from below, challenging the heavenly might.
However, under the endless flames, he retreated step by step.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan could no longer afford to care about anything else.
He witnessed the death of Huiping Monastic from the Heaven's Peak Zen Sect, who smiled as he perished beneath the bizarre flames.
Watching Huan Huan Ancestor's full display of power, with the six energies rising into the sky, he still couldn't escape the flames.
"Shatter!"
Shen Yuan clenched a spiritual seal and suddenly detonated the crystal sword, using its powerful force to propel himself towards the mountain's exterior.
Even so, the bizarre flames still encircled him like maggots in a bone.
The five-colored small pagoda once again burst with spirit light, completely enveloping him.
At that moment, the black-robed elder, using some unknown means, forcefully broke free from the range of Cangwu Mountain.
Standing outside the mountain, his aura was feeble, and his expression was filled with fear as he looked at the fire engulfing the entire mountain.
"Ancestor!!!"
"Save me!!!"
"Useless!"
The black-robed elder cursed, and two drops of black water flew out from his fingertips, shooting towards Shen Yuan and Huan Huan Ancestor.
But it was too late.
Under the scorching terror of the flames, Huan Huan Ancestor vanished into nothingness in the void.
Shen Yuan fared slightly better, as the five-colored light flowed, and with the power of life, he barely managed to buy himself some time, lasting until the black-robed elder's rescue.
Even so, his entire aura was almost non-existent, and his body resembled charcoal.
...
"Is this the Nirvana Holy Flame of Phoenix Empyrean?"
Far away, Mountain Level Lord, Emperor Tian, watched this scene with fear in his eyes.
Such power—even he, with his pride, dared not provoke it too deeply.
This was just a minor skill of Phoenix Empyrean; one could hardly imagine how terrifying it would be if she personally unleashed her full power.
Even the Abyss Sect, with its heritage from the Upper Realm, had its Soul Transformation experts unable to resist it head-on.
At this thought, he felt a hint of regret.
If Phoenix Empyrean found out that his indulgence had led to this calamity for Cangwu Mountain, he wondered if she would hold it against him.
But soon, his eyes became firm.
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters!
What of Phoenix Empyrean? In the depths of Donghuang, there were others no weaker than her. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could still protect himself.
"However, after using this method, does Cangwu Mountain still have any foundation left?"
Emperor Tian pursed his lips; he knew that Phoenix Empyrean had never been interested in managing power.
Cangwu Mountain was merely a temporary resting place for her, and leaving behind such a method was already considered an act of grace.
...
Deep within the underground palace, in the Cangwu Treasury.
Endless waves of fire surged forward.
At this moment, Luo Chen's expression changed drastically.
But strangely, when the void flames reached his side, they suddenly paused, dispersing like a receding tide.
"Huh?"
Luo Chen was startled.
Just as he was surprised, a pitiful cry came from within the array.
"Ah..."
The black wooden puppet inside was wailing incessantly.
Streams of Nascent Soul power burst forth, but even under the influence of the bizarre flames, which had been intentionally weakened countless times, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an act of sheer foolishness.
Luo Chen's eyes widened in surprise. The power that Han Zhan was displaying now was completely different from the weak and powerless state he had described earlier!
At that moment, Han Zhan roared.
"Luo Chen, quickly enter the array!"
"Coming!"
Luo Chen stepped into the array, grasping the Azure Feather that Han Zhan had pushed towards him. The black wooden puppet, on the other hand, stood on the ground like a piece of charcoal, struggling to maintain its position.
"I've activated the array; it's heading towards the direction of the Snow Mountain. But right now, I..."
He fell silent, and his entire body became motionless.
Luo Chen grabbed the black puppet, which resembled charcoal, and quietly watched as layers of light burst forth on the array's formation paths.
His gaze followed the retreating fire outside.
Because the array required a specific location, the flame's power had diminished significantly.
Even so, Han Zhan was still severely injured.
It was hard to imagine how powerful the owner of these flames would be if they personally unleashed them. Phoenix Empyrean?
As he muttered to himself, the great array trembled, and the two figures on the platform suddenly disappeared.
Just after their disappearance, the light from the array gradually subsided.
But the next moment!
The light burst forth, soaring into the sky, piercing the Nine Heavens!
Endless spirit light enveloped the Profound Mysteries Hall, the Daylight Hall, and the Cross-Reality Hall of Cangwu Mountain.
From a distance, the black-robed elder watched this scene with an extremely unpleasant expression.
"Great Displacement Technique!"
