Chapter 527: Chapter 397: Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact Emerges
"I believe, I will be responsible for the mechanism to the south," Cong Lv immediately stood out without hesitation.
"As for me, I am willing to close the mechanism to the north," Sword Slave expressed without a shred of doubt in response to Feng Xun’s words.
"If that is the case, I will handle the mechanism to the east," Chen Minzhi raised an eyebrow, giving Feng Xun a meaningful look.
With representatives from four directions present, three had already spoken.
Hong Mingyue and Luo Song pondered for a moment, and Luo Song stood up, indicating his willingness to take charge of the mechanism to the west.
"Let me repeat, the four mechanisms must be closed simultaneously. The remaining people need to work with them to draw away those monsters, and secure an appropriate opportunity for them as much as possible," Feng Xun stated emphatically, his face showing none of his usual warmth and amiability.
Upon hearing Feng Xun’s words, everyone assented, even Chen Minzhi and Luo Song unconsciously nodded in agreement.
These two, usually so full of themselves, were taken by surprise by their own actions today, as if Feng Xun’s words carried an invisible force that subconsciously compelled them to obey.
Chen Minzhi and the other three strongest individuals among the group quickly mobilized their Primordial Power, turned into four swift shadows, and dashed towards the mechanisms in the four respective directions.
Almost at the same moment, the remaining forces also made their moves.
Taking the lead was Wen Xu and a few others from the Beiqing Delegation. As a Nine Rank Alchemist, Wen Xu’s spiritual power was very strong.
He didn’t even seem to move, yet his surging spiritual power formed a palm imprint.
This palm imprint with a force of mountains and seas, struck towards the monsters in several stone chambers to the left.
With several muffled sounds, a few stone carving monsters were already shattered into pieces.
Looking at Zhuge Yi, his throat moved for a moment, and suddenly, a fierce Elixir Fire burst out of his mouth. The fire was so intense that even the hardest metal ores could instantly melt into molten iron, driving the monsters into a retreat.
Hong Mingyue had finished adjusting her breath. The rapid attacks of Wen Xu and her grandfather Zhuge Yi caused chaos among the stone chamber monsters, with over a dozen attacking in her and Hong Yulang’s direction.
Hong Mingyue quickly glanced towards Ye Lingyue’s position.
Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun’s location was clearly the safest in the stone chamber, obviously, Feng Xun had chosen the best position upon entering.
Humph—
Hong Mingyue couldn’t stand Ye Lingyue’s composed appearance. She quickly stepped back and vibrated the Canghai Three-Life Flute in her hand, stirring up a fearsome wave of Primordial Power.
Several notes exploded, stimulating the monsters who then converged towards Hong Mingyue’s direction.
But just then, Hong Mingyue eerily smiled at Ye Lingyue and swiftly dodged at an astonishing speed.
The dozen stone carving monsters lunged towards Ye Lingyue.
Ye Lingyue did not dodge because right behind her was Feng Xun.
One stone carving monster was already formidable, not to mention a dozen attacking together.
Ye Lingyue could even feel the Primordial Power carried by the monsters’ arms, the gusts of wind from their swinging arms scraped against her skin, burning painfully.
A smile emerged on her lips.
That smile caught Hong Mingyue’s eyes, making her pupils constrict.
The cold and mocking smile made it clear, Ye Lingyue had already seen through her intent to use the stone monsters as a means to kill her.
Ye Lingyue suddenly sprang several dark shadows by her side, those shadows numbered as many as nine, and upon closer inspection, they were nine Corrosive Soul Chains that lashed out with a shocking momentum.
In an instant, they entwined the strange creatures that had charged towards Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue.
A look of astonishment flashed across the faces of Hong Mingyue and Hong Yulang.
What Martial Arts Technique is that?
Even Hong Yuying, who came from Three-Life Valley, couldn’t tell what those nine peculiar chains wielded by Ye Lingyue were.
With a single move, Ye Lingyue trapped over a dozen stone carving creatures, greatly relieving the pressure of being besieged for the others.
Taking advantage of the moment when the creatures in the stone chamber were trapped, Chen Minzhi and the other three had already raced ahead of the mechanism, and together, they activated it.
The sounds of banging and cracking continuously came from behind the moving wall, until the wall completely fell into place.
At the moment the mechanism shut, the sounds from the stone chamber creatures still furiously attacking progressively got quieter until they finally returned to their original form, scattering on the floor.
After the fierce battle, everyone gasped for breath, looking at the mess on the ground, the Martial Arts stone carvings, and various types of Spiritual Artifacts made from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
If not for the several bodies lying haphazardly on the floor, everyone would have thought it was all just a nightmare.
Looking at the bodies on the ground, everyone fell silent.
Especially Hong Mingyue and Hong Yulang, who couldn’t even retain Hong Yuying’s body, Hong Yulang’s eyes reddened; he and Hong Yuying were siblings, and though they weren’t very close on ordinary days, seeing his sister die so tragically was inevitably heartbreaking.
Everyone belatedly realized the significance of the two words "do not" left by Chairman Xiahou, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Just as everyone was about to tally the casualties, the ground shook, and the expressions on their faces changed again.
Beneath their feet, the ground trembled, and everyone could feel that the floor was vanishing, the surrounding walls disappeared, and all the bodies were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, they seemed to be suspended in mid-air, amidst an endless expanse of pitch-black starry sky, devoid of any stars or moonlight.
Suddenly, from multiple directions—east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest—streaks of charming light swept across.
That light traced a beautiful trail, illuminating the entire sky.
"That’s! Meteor!"
After experiencing a life-and-death ordeal, everyone was captivated by this bizarre sight before their eyes.
From the eight directions, several meteors, like stars surrounding the moon, burst forth, colliding with each other and emitting intense light, and suddenly, everyone felt a piercing pain in their eyes.
By the time they opened their eyes again, an unusual scene had appeared in the originally dark sky.
In the sky, hovered ten mists of bright vapor, resembling ten guards reflecting off each other.
In the center of the mist, there laid a blood-red giant bow.
The bow, over half a person tall, with a seductive red color seemed to be refined from blood, its bowstring made from Flood Dragon sinew, flashed a golden hue, quietly suspended beside the bow.
Everyone’s breath was instantly taken away by that bow.
Gulp- Ye Lingyue clearly heard the sound of herself swallowing.
The Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact, Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow, had appeared in the world!
