Shattering Twelve Stone Statues with One Palm

Shi Mengying's eyes widened instantly. She quickly ran over to check the situation.

As it turned out, the stone door wasn't just intact; there wasn't even a single scratch on it!

Seeing this, Shi Mengying could hardly believe her eyes.

"No... this is impossible!"

Third Level of Innate Realm.

Let alone an old-looking stone door like this.

Even the mechanical doors made of wrought iron she had encountered in her past life wouldn't have remained without a single scratch, right?

"Damn it, do I really have to go all out?"

Shi Mengying retreated, holding her long sword about a hundred meters away from the stone door.

She slowly closed her eyes, trying to gather all the Internal Energy in her body into the tip of her sword.

As Shi Mengying slowly channeled her Internal Energy, her hair even began to flutter gently behind her.

At that moment, the Phoenix Spirit Blood within her was boiling and burning.

A majestic power erupted from her heart, finally converging on the sword in her hand.

Shi Mengying suddenly opened her eyes, and torrents of Internal Energy leaked out from her body.

The surrounding broken ancient stone pillars were shattered by this power, turning directly into countless fragments and dust.

In an instant, Shi Mengying transformed into streaks of afterimages, finally appearing before the stone door.

Boom!

An even louder sound came from the surface of the stone door.

The energy waves emanating from the sword's edge even leveled all the surrounding ruins outside the stone door.

But when the smoke dissipated, Shi Mengying was completely stunned.

Because the stone door was still standing there, exactly as it was!

And there were still no scratches or damage on it!

"I @#￥%&*"

Seeing this, Shi Mengying directly pointed at the stone door and unleashed a torrent of vulgar curses.

She was unwilling. Why could Gu Chen open this damn door, but she couldn't?

In terms of cultivation level, Gu Chen was far inferior to her.

In terms of character, Gu Chen was simply terrible!

If we talked about bloodline, Gu Chen was leagues behind her!

The more Shi Mengying thought about it, the angrier she became, her eyes filled with surging rage.

She picked up her long sword and, almost in a frenzy, began hacking at the stone door.

"Open! Open! Open!"

However, while Shi Mengying was still going mad.

A powerful energy wave suddenly erupted from inside the stone door.

Before Shi Mengying could react, the stone door instantly shattered into pieces.

The powerful energy wave even blasted her dozens of meters away!

Shi Mengying got up from the ground in a very disheveled state.

She looked at the now dilapidated stone door in front of her, her face full of confusion.

Logically, her continuous attacks should have shattered the stone door from the outside.

How did it explode from the inside?

Meanwhile, inside the spacious great hall.

Gu Chen stood in a cloud of smoke, casually dusting off his clothes, and walked forward on his own.

The twelve stone statues in the hall had already turned into piles of rubble.

One might have thought this was a quarry wasteland.

Just moments ago, Gu Chen had flown to the very top of the hall and suddenly discovered the Formation Core controlling these stone figures.

Gu Chen didn't think much of it at the time.

Since he saw the Formation Core, he just destroyed it.

So Gu Chen descended from the sky and steadily placed his palm on the Formation Core.

The surrounding air suddenly froze for a second, and then, these stone figures exploded one after another.

The energy released by the collapse of the Formation Core had almost caused the entire hall to collapse!

Gu Chen himself hadn't expected that destroying the Formation Core would have such a significant impact.

Judging by the extent of the damage to the entire great hall, it seemed impossible to restore it.

However, Gu Chen didn't really care.

This was his last time visiting the Lingxu Secret Realm anyway.

So, whether this place was destroyed or not was of no concern to him.

"It's indeed much more relaxing not bringing that girl this time."

Gu Chen recalled that in his previous life, he had brought Gu Youwei with him to the Lingxu Secret Realm.

From the moment they entered, that girl hadn't stopped chattering.

Back then, it took Gu Chen and Gu Youwei more than half a day just to decipher the totem password on the stone door.

Later, while passing through the mechanism corridor, Gu Chen had almost lost his life several times while saving the reckless Gu Youwei.

As for this great hall guarded by twelve stone figures, Gu Chen had been seriously injured before he could barely protect Gu Youwei and pass through.

But now, Gu Chen had easily passed through all of this by himself.

Although this was indeed aided by his past experience of clearing the dungeon.

But more importantly, Gu Chen felt that it was much more convenient without the troublesome Gu Youwei around.

"You should have been sent to the Cangshan Sword Sect by now, right?"

"Enjoy your time there."

Gu Chen said coldly, but he didn't have the time to dwell on these thoughts now.

He pushed open the stone door at the end of the great hall and entered a corridor, intending to proceed to the next hall.

The entire Lingxu Secret Realm was divided into three Divine Halls.

The first Divine Hall was guarded by twelve stone figures, and there were no rewards for passing it.

The second Divine Hall was guarded by a Primordial Divine Beast, and one Supreme Treasure could be obtained upon passing it.

In his previous life, Gu Chen and Gu Youwei had only managed to pass the second Divine Hall.

This was because Gu Youwei had been on the verge of death at the time and couldn't proceed further.

Helplessly, Gu Chen had to take Gu Youwei and leave.

As a result, Gu Chen still didn't know what monsters and treasures were hidden in the third Divine Hall.

Of course, even the reward from just the second Divine Hall.

had allowed Gu Chen in his previous life to directly break through his cultivation to the tenth level of the Innate Realm.

It made Gu Chen almost unable to imagine.

If he passed the third Divine Hall this time, wouldn't his cultivation directly reach the Profound Gang Realm?

With this thought, Gu Chen quickly passed through the corridor in front of him and walked towards the end.

Behind the Wei Family's mountain in East Desolation Commandery.

Wei Qingyu was like a deflated ball. From the beginning until now.

The rumbling, ungraceful sounds had not stopped.

She felt a churning in her stomach.

This feeling was simply excruciating!

"Damn it, wh... why is this happening?"

"In my previous life, I cultivated the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture, and I never experienced anything like this!"

Just then, Wei Qingyu suddenly thought of something.

In her previous life, she had always eagerly followed Gu Chen, learning cultivation methods from him.

Later, Wei Qingyu accidentally obtained the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture.

Gu Chen happily said that this cultivation method was very suitable for Wei Qingyu's physique and that her cultivation would be twice as effective.

As a result, in the later stages, Gu Chen basically taught Wei Qingyu the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture hand-in-hand.

Now, recalling all of this, Wei Qingyu suddenly felt a deep sense of dread!
