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
The mouth of the underground cave was hardly large enough to enough adequate flow for the water from the violent Luo River to fill up the entirety of the main hall quickly. Nevertheless, the water was rising noticeably. Jue Shuo from the Judicature was the first to spring into action; without any shred of hesitation, another look into the main hall, nor any forlorn longing for the Divine Tool, he roused the company, with Li Jianqi in tow, and everyone rushed toward the entrance of the cave. The rushing flow of water coming in would flood the passage coming into the hall with water from the Luo River by now. The hall, where the Divine Tool had manifested, was a perfectly-furnished circular chamber with no other way out. Even in the presence of a secret passage, it would be impossible for the company to find the mechanism to open the portal in a short time in the midst of the turmoil. The most direct way would be to retrace their
The moon was reflected on the water, its image so pristine like a mirror's impression with plumes of clouds clustered together like a fortress in the sky. The waters of the 3000-mile long Luo River had flooded the subterranean Imperial Mausoleum, turning the place into an underwater necropolis, lost and submerged in the depths. Ye Que swam with Red Bean on his back, passing Lake Mingjing, the forest of obelisks, the passage of mermaids, the apothecary furnaces around the Giant Tree, and the halls of the golden mountain. Finally, he reached the main portcullis of the golden palace. He had encountered not a single person on his way there; everyone else he had encountered along the way before had disappeared and there were no corpses too, as if they never existed. As if everyone and everything had been consumed by this huge magical formation. Everything around him was colorful yet peculiar in the mysterious blue world of the under
Xiao Huating was indeed gambling. However, she wasn't betting on Li Chunyu's victory. It didn't matter to her who would win. All she needed was to convince the Second Prince to start the counter-attack, so the massive army of the Ye Family could go on an expedition to the grassland with legitimate reasons. The crows cawed when the moon went down and the fog misted up. Li Chunyu was holding a secret letter that he had waited for a very long time. It seemed that by telling him the approaching cavalry from the grassland, Xiao Huating was thinking for his future, wishing for him to make great contributions to the nation—on the condition that all her words were true. After all, the cheating and deceiving that were taking place within the imperial court were way more outrageous than anyone could've thought. As a prince and a promising candidate to the crown, he must think thoroughly before making any decision, because any mistake could bring him i
It snowed for an entire night in Luoyang City. At dawn, the invitational memorial from the Ye Army was delivered into the palace. Xiao Huating received affirmation from Li Chunyu. The latter had readily agreed to even the request for Ye Yunhai to accompany him on the conquest. He seemed to have made up his mind to become the Second Prince. Of course, this had caused the minute guilty feeling in Li Chunyu's heart to disappear. The hearts of Emperors were made of steel and cold as ice. Since Li Chunyu had such an ambition, it was natural that he made such requests of himself. However, he could not have imagined that Xiao Huating's goals were aligned with his to a certain degree. Li Chunyu had promised his father to never allow the Ye Army back into Luoyang—not even a single steed. Likewise, Xiao Huating was not planning to allow the souls of 200 thousand soldiers slip away from her grasp. She had spent the past two
