Chapter 1781: The Bixi Stone Statue, Unbreakable Barrier 2
“Hmm?”
This scene further shocked Jiang Chengxuan's heart. He had an inkling that this unbreakable barrier was likely the only obstacle standing between them and the Cosmic Heart.
“Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp, manifest!”
Jiang Chengxuan remained resolute, quickly clearing his mind of distractions. He summoned the Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp, adding more power to this mysterious confrontation.
“Buzz—!”
In his Xuan Realm, a faint nine-colored celestial light began to glow. The light expanded rapidly, engulfing the entire world, transforming it into a radiant secret realm.
A divine lotus, awe-inspiring in its beauty, covered the sky, with a mystical small tree swaying at its center, continually drawing upon vast celestial energy, filling every inch of space.
The immense pressure was so suffocating that even Cloud Tian and Cloud Di, both at the late-stage Xuan Immortal realm, could feel their hearts tighten. They knew that this was a Golden Immortal-level artifact, with unimaginable power.
With this artifact, Jiang Chengxuan could face them both and stand undefeated!
“Suppress it!”
Jiang Chengxuan's eyes gleamed as he became fully engaged. With a low roar, the Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp raised his cultivation to the peak of the Xuan Immortal realm. Then, he activated the Three Principles of Dao, transforming them into a sword-like beam of light, resembling a galaxy, which he hurled at the barrier!
In an instant, the entire sky was dominated by the blinding light, ripping open a deep rift.
Yet something strange occurred again!
This terrifying force tore through the space, shattering it inch by inch. The area for a hundred miles was swept by turbulent energy, incredibly violent.
However, at some point, this immense power was suddenly cut off—vanishing without warning.
Above, a scene appeared like the confluence of a river and the sea—one side ablaze with nine-colored celestial light, while the other was eerily still, devoid of any waves.
At the junction, wave-like lines trembled, the invisible barrier vibrating, yet there was still no crack or breach to be seen!
“How is this possible… What is this power?”
Jiang Chengxuan himself was shocked. Even after summoning the Nine Wonders Bodhi Lotus Lamp, bringing his power near to that of a Golden Immortal, he could barely shake the barrier. This was incredibly difficult to believe.
“Boom—!”
Fortunately, just as Jiang Chengxuan was stunned, the vast desert once again underwent a dramatic change.
A deafening roar filled the air as the ground suddenly caved in, and a massive whirlpool of quicksand formed within a hundred miles.
Huge dunes gathered like an ocean, continuously sinking into the cracks in the earth, raising towering dust storms that blotted out the sky.
“What is that?!”
Cloud Tian and Cloud Di, ever alert, cried out in surprise as they spotted something mysterious slowly rising from the whirlpool of sand.
A stone-like existence, like a mountain emerging from the sea of sand, caused a great shock.
“Purple Moon Rebirth!”
Without hesitation, the two of them reacted swiftly. Their Xuan Realms surged with celestial energy, and their bloodlines flared up as they summoned a massive purple moon, a star-like celestial body, from the void.
Next, they unleashed their late-stage Xuan Immortal powers, firing two beams of purple moonlight that fell like meteors from the sky, heading towards the rising figure to suppress it!
“Boom—!”
The devastating force of two late-stage Xuan Immortals collided with their target, causing a violent explosion that once again shook the heavens and the earth.
“Buzz—!”
But something bizarre happened. A familiar wave of energy erupted, and their attacks, just like Jiang Chengxuan's, were completely neutralized by an invisible barrier.
“What?!”
Cloud Tian and Cloud Di were stunned, watching as a shadow expanded, forcing them both to retreat.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan also stopped his attempts and joined the two in the void. With this situation, it was better not to rush to take the Cosmic Heart. There was no use in doing so for now.
“That's… Bixi?”
After a moment, as the chaotic winds and sandstorms gradually dissipated, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions were stunned by the sight of what had risen from the sand.
It was a massive stone statue, as colossal as a star, resembling both a dragon and a tortoise. It was none other than Bixi, one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, from ancient legend.
The barrier blocking the Cosmic Heart was the giant stele carried on its turtle shell!
This was undoubtedly the source of the terrifying barrier. This object was likely left behind by an ancient Golden Immortal as a suppression tool. No wonder it had such immense defensive power.
“No… It seems to be a living creature!”
Jiang Chengxuan observed the emerging Bixi stone statue closely. He suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if something was constantly watching him from within his Xuan Realm.
Cloud Tian and Cloud Di also noticed, their faces filled with confusion, as they turned to look at the massive head of the Bixi statue. Indeed, the eyes, though partially closed, seemed to be fixated on their position.
“This… What do we do now?”
For a moment, both Cloud Tian and Cloud Di felt helpless. This creature was so strange and terrifying, and its defense was unparalleled. Even Golden Immortal-level power could barely shake it.
As long as it remained in place, it seemed that even a Golden Immortal would have trouble obtaining the Cosmic Heart.
“Hmm…”
Jiang Chengxuan felt troubled for the first time. The methods of ancient Golden Immortals were extraordinary, and this Bixi statue clearly wasn't something that could be taken down with brute force.
Could they really just give up on the Cosmic Heart?
Jiang Chengxuan's gaze flickered as he looked back and forth between the Cosmic Heart and the Bixi stone statue, deep in thought.
This treasure was a rare opportunity, one that could not be found again so easily. If they gave up now, the chance of obtaining it would depend entirely on luck later.
He knew that if he didn't take it now, he might never have another shot.
For a while, everything seemed to fall into silence. The Bixi stone statue loomed like a towering mountain, blocking all paths forward.
But then, Jiang Chengxuan felt something odd. He raised his head and, for some unknown reason, the Bixi seemed to be fixated on him.
“Eh?”
Jiang Chengxuan had a sudden realization. It was as if something on him was drawing the Bixi statue's attention!
This might be the key to solving the puzzle and obtaining the Cosmic Heart!
With this thought, a smile slowly formed on Jiang Chengxuan's face.
The heavens never close all doors, and in this moment of difficulty, he had found an unexpected solution.
He was glad he hadn't given up too early, or this once-in-lifetime opportunity might have slipped away.
“Daoist friends, what do you think?”
“This Bixi statue seems very interested in you.”
Cloud Tian and Cloud Di, seeing Jiang Chengxuan's smile, couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan's eyes brightened, and with newfound confidence, he said:
“It seems there's something about me that it finds intriguing. Perhaps I can use that to lure it away and seize the Cosmic Heart!”
