The reliefs on the murals leaped into life as blood washed over them. Each sculpture was semi-translucent and looked like a ghost. Collectively they looked like a bunch of extremely powerful spirits.
"Is this the resurrection of devils?"
Everyone began retreating from the vicinity of the murals and stood at a relatively safe distance away. The huge sects of the Cultivation World began to gather, as did the warriors of the Demon Race.
"Don't panic, everyone. These relief sculptures that have come to life are not devils. I believe they are dark souls used to suppress the Divine Tool," said Wuming, the monk from the Temple of Six Buddhas, in a low voice.
In the blink of an eye, more than 10 sculptures had come into life after being splashed with blood. Half of them dashed toward the practitioners from the Cultivation World. Ye Que was following behind Red Bean and did not stand with the other practitioners. Both of them were rogue
After just one exchange. It was all it took for everyone to realize that the battle prowess of this new wave of relief sculpture dark souls had increased greatly, and they were nearly as strong as practitioners of the Starburst Realm. Each of their punches was powerful enough to shatter mountains, and they attacked the Seven Wonders Cloud Trapping Formation of Mount Shu with immense force, as if they were manifestations of the valiant Undefeatables. On one hand, the disciples of Mount Shu stood at the forefront of their peers and withstood the highest amount of pressure. Secondly, because they had been fighting for far too long, a few weaker disciples were already showing signs of exhaustion. The sudden increase of the relief dark souls' battle prowess caught everyone by surprise. The unfortunate ones that were hit by their fists either had their chests smashed open or heads bursting apart, limbs shattered and flesh grinded away as they died
"The Sword Fanatic of Silent Monastery!" "The daughter of the Crown Prince!" Li Jianqi's identity shocked all of the practitioners from the Cultivation World. The question now was, should they trust her? If the idea of destroying the relief river had originated from Li Jianqi at the very beginning, and she had told everyone her identity at the start, most of them would have believed her. However, it was very obvious to them now that the suggestion had been made by Ye Que, and she had chosen to support him because of personal reasons. No one laughed or criticized her this time. Instead, everyone opted to remain silent. They did not speak or voice their opinions in deference to Li Jianqi, but it did not mean that they thought Ye Que was right. They did not care whether she believed him or not. Li Jianqi's expression turned extremely ugly upon noticing that everyone was remaining silent. S
With the hard facts spelled out to him, Jue Shuo did not hesitate any further. Upon his orders, all of the Black Armored Warriors of the Judicature charged forth to attack the relief river on the murals. Even though Li Jianqi had spoken viciously, she actually knew that Jue Shuo had her well-being on his mind. How could she not have realized that all of the people from the Judicature had begun to side with her after she started to attack the murals? Jue Shuo's task was to protect Li Jianqi and accomplish his secret mission. Nothing else was more important than her safety, and he was not really concerned if he had angered her in the process of protecting her or not. As a young girl, Li Jianqi could act as she wished, but as the Deputy Night Timekeeper of the Judicature, he had to keep calm. Rashness was even scarier than demons. The situation now was different, however. Obviously, it was highly probable that Ye Que's guess was c
There was a loud sound! Three cries of agony! The sound came from the altar. Finally, the magical enchantments that surrounded the altar were completely shattered. The warrior in gold armor on the platform pierced his sword through the chest of the Eldest Senior Brother from the Sword Tomb, while the huge black dragon crushed the skull of a demon warrior with its talons. Jiang Liuyun had hooked the muscles and bones of a recreational cultivator of Starburst Realm power into two with Cyan Luan. The three attacks were silent, sudden and lethal. No one had time to bother about them, however. With the cracking of the magical enchantments, an azure light began to emanate from the entire platform. At the same time, it began to shrivel and melt away. An immense and overpowering Spiritual Qi from an ancient historical era began to burst out. All of the practitioners in a 10-meter
With the River Soldiers in hand. Xing Ying of the Five Elements Divination Sect seemed to have completely changed into another person. Even his attacking style and techniques have become exceptionally vicious, and the six practitioners who were surrounding him were killed within a few exchanges. Throughout the entire process, he used the Third Rank incantation seals of the Five Elements Divination Sect at least four times. Logically speaking, even if Xing Ying's level of cultivation had already reached the Starburst Realm, it was still impossible for his body to withstand such a large expenditure of True Energy. A faint blue glow seeped slowly into Xing Ying's Spiritual Sea from his dagger. The others, and perhaps even Xing Ying himself, would not have expected that the River Soldiers would supply its wielder with True Energy, and with such pure True Energy to boot. When he killed the six practitioners, the dagger in his hand h
"Even killing all of you will be unable to erase my hatred! Damned Heaven!" Xing Ying roared his lungs out. He was behaving arrogantly and seemed to be completely unaware of the change in his own body. "The so-called prodigy of the Cultivation World and top-ranked practitioner of the Starburst Realm is but a coward who's afraid of death. I spit on you!" Xing Ying taunted Jiang Liuyun as he looked at the swordsman, before spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground. "You only know how to hide behind a crowd. Are you afraid?" Xing Ying asked as he pointed the River Soldiers-transformed Blink Dagger at Jiang Liuyun. "Coward!" "I look down on you!" The color of Jiang Liuyun's face changed slightly as he received Xing Ying's taunts. Judging from the current situation, he was actually unwilling to face Xing Ying; it was also unnecessary. He was just a minor character, and it was inconsequential t
While everyone's attention was completely focused on Jiang Liuyun's attempt to seize the River Soldiers from Xing Ying, Ye Que crept quietly toward the altar at the middle of the Great Hall. A voice there was continually calling out to him, or rather, to the Gold Python of Divine Energy within him. The altar was smashed into pieces upon the emergence of the Divine Tool. Naturally, no one else paid further attention to it. In fact, no one even so much as glanced at it. Ye Que walked up to the altar and bent down to observe the magical enchantments and Sanskrit words that had crumbled off, as well as pieces of stone scattered all over the floor. He dug the bits of stone away to find more of them underneath. There was nothing extraordinary to be found. He frowned and placed his hand on the ground lightly. It was icy cold! "Strange? There's obviously something here, but why can't I find it?"
The formation within the Imperial Mausoleum restricted anyone above the level of Starburst Realm from entering. The eight people who had followed Jiang Liuyun into the Great Hall possessed an incredible amount of Divine Energy at this moment. It was completely abnormal, and it was not within the restrictive limits of the formation. Of course, not all laws were made to be unchangeable. If the people who broke into the Mausoleum were more powerful than those who built it, naturally, they would be able to completely disregard the laws governing the place. Evidently, the eight mysterious characters did not possess such great powers. What other methods could allow this to happen? Many sects had tried to circumvent the problem before entering the Imperial Mausoleum, but all of them failed. With the Secret Key to the River Soldiers in hand, the chances of Mount Shu obtaining the artifact were greater, no matter what effect it really h
