Demon Emperor's Secret Realm (2)
The Tianyu Bracelet is a mid-level divine artifact. It was Pangu's life-saving artifact when he entered various perilous situations. Once in danger, one can enter the Tianyu Bracelet. With such a divine artifact, what does Zhang Xingfeng have to worry about?
Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and the Chaos Power within his body immediately surged like waves. The Purple Blade flickered in his hand, ready to strike at any moment. Everything was ready!
"Hehe, don't worry! It's been thousands of years. The Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation was already greatly damaged back then. Now you can probably withstand its attacks! And I'll take care of everything!" Tianyu comforted him, thinking that Zhang Xingfeng was still troubled!
"Alright, why would I worry? Hehe, let's set off now. I want to see what's in this Demon Emperor's Secret Realm!" Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and his body flashed towards the vaguely visible palace.
From a distance, it was impossible to tell how big the palace was, but once inside, it became clear that the palace was exceptionally large. However, Zhang Xingfeng was surprised to find that there was not a single trace of any array formation.
"Hey, Tianyu, I haven't found any formations. But I don't believe it's going to be that easy for me to get in!" Zhang Xingfeng's Spiritual Sense began to search carefully, but he found nothing.
"If you can find out about the divine array, that's terrible. You should go in using the Demon Emperor's Movement Method. Remember, if the Chaos Power is exhausted, immediately enter me!"
"Alright, I understand, stop talking!" Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes slightly, and the Demon Emperor's Movement Method immediately reappeared in his mind. Zhang Xingfeng was shocked once again; the speed was simply too fast.
Zhang Xingfeng activated all the Chaos Power within his body, circulating it to every part of his body. He not only relied on his own speed but also used the Chaos Power to accelerate himself.
Zhang Xingfeng took a deep breath, and the Demon Emperor's movement Movement Method began to flash in his mind. Simultaneously, his body moved incessantly, like a phantom, just like the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor moved, he moved; the Demon Emperor stopped, he stopped; the Demon Emperor retreated, he retreated...
Zhang Xingfeng's face was already a little red. Although his physical body was already very powerful, it could not reach such an amazing speed. The Chaos Power was frantically accelerating his body, and the consumption of the Chaos Power was also extremely fast. At first, Zhang Xingfeng thought that the change in Movement Method was just about speed!
But at this moment he realized that it was not that simple at all. Even if his Movement Method were correct, it wouldn't work, because the pressure inside the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation was unexpectedly great. He had to resist the pressure at the same time. Zhang Xingfeng clearly felt that his Chaos Power was being consumed wildly under such pressure.
Having only traveled a third of the way, Zhang Xingfeng realized his Chaos Power was almost depleted. With no other option, Zhang Xingfeng activated his mind and instantly vanished. Simultaneously, a bracelet appeared within the formation; Zhang Xingfeng had entered the Heavenly Universe, and the Tianyu Bracelet was immediately attacked by the formation!
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck the bracelet, but it remained unchanged. The lightning immediately intensified, its power increasing, but the bracelet still showed no change.
A brilliant burst of fire also joined the attack.
At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng, inside the Tianyu Bracelet, was recovering his Chaos Power. During his time on the Azure Dragon Continent, Zhang Xingfeng had never actually exhausted all his Chaos Power. Even when he used the "Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Art" in the Tianya Mountain Range last time, it was only because he forced it that he suffered a backlash, and his Chaos Power was not completely depleted! This time, however, he was literally squeezed dry!
"Phew!" Zhang Xingfeng opened his eyes, a slight smile on his face. "It's been so long since I've felt like this. It's really great!" Zhang Xingfeng shook his head.
"Kid, you're awake!" a bright light said in front of Zhang Xingfeng, but the voice came from Zhang Xingfeng's mind.
"Tianyu, how long did it take me to reply just now?!"
"It hasn't been long, just half a day. You're here having a good time, while I've been constantly attacked by this formation!" Tianyu's voice was a little sighing.
Zhang Xingfeng immediately laughed and said, "Oh dear, you won't get into trouble!" Of course, nothing could happen to you. If something did happen, would Zhang Xingfeng still be here safely? Zhang Xingfeng asked this only to distract Tianyu.
Tianyu, oblivious to Zhang Xingfeng's smile, immediately said, "I am a divine artifact, how could I be in trouble? Divine artifacts are forged with divine fire. Even divine fire cannot damage a divine artifact like me that has been successfully forged. What else could possibly harm me? Besides, I am so small, so the amount of attack I can withstand is so small. Hehe, I have experienced countless perilous situations in the immortal and demon realms without being injured. What's more, this 'Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation,' which can only be compared to an ordinary immortal array and is already damaged?"
Zhang Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Tianyu, how's it outside now?"
Tianyu said, "Alright, hehe, you're safe to go out now, because the bracelet has already left the range of the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation!"
Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful! Tianyu, you're really amazing! A mid-level artifact can actually control its own actions! Master's 'God Forging True Manual' says that only top-level artifacts can control themselves!"
Tianyu's voice sounded a little awkward, "Um... well, I can't control myself yet. I was constantly attacked by the formation, and they forced me out of the formation!"
Such a thing should not have happened in the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation, because the array was incomplete after being damaged by Pangu. When Tianyu was attacked one after another, his position kept changing. Every time he moved to a new position, he was attacked again. Later, Tianyu was attacked to a place that had already been damaged, and he left the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation so easily!
Zhang Xingfeng didn't say anything; he was only excited. He immediately said, "Tianyu, I'll head out now!" Zhang Xingfeng had always had a strong curiosity about this Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
In front of a white jade staircase was a bracelet. Suddenly the bracelet disappeared, and a silver-haired youth appeared. Of course, it was Zhang Xingfeng.
Looking at the white jade steps in front of him, Zhang Xingfeng wondered if there was anything strange about them, and immediately asked, "Tianyu, is there any formation on these steps?"
Tianyu replied, "I don't know. When I came here with Pangu, I only saw the seven Demon Emperors emerge from the palace. I also only saw the Demon Emperors' Movement Method as they passed through the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation. I know nothing else! Kid, don't always ask me. Think about it yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng felt a burning sensation on his face. In truth, he wasn't the type of person who liked to rely on others, but Tianyu had easily told Zhang Xingfeng how to enter the Seven Gloom Illusory Star Divine Formation when he faced it, leading Zhang Xingfeng to subconsciously believe that Tianyu was very familiar with the palace.
Zhang Xingfeng took a deep breath, and one end of the Purple Blade began to emerge from Zhang Xingfeng hand, while the Chaos Power within his body began to surge.
Zhang Xingfeng solemnly stepped onto the first step, his foot firmly planted on the ground!
Fine!
Feeling slightly relieved, Zhang Xingfeng immediately took his second step... And so, step by step, Zhang Xingfeng the stairs and reached the second floor! Zhang Xingfeng breathed a long sigh of relief; he had truly been terrified and dared not relax for a moment!
With a calm expression, Zhang Xingfeng looked up at the second floor! Zhang Xingfeng was stunned the moment he saw it!
What's wrong?
Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. What appeared before him was an endless void, just like the inside of the Tianyu Bracelet. There was no sign of human habitation or life, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
The seven palaces were in the distance, Zhang Xingfeng easily spotted the array in front of them! Perhaps calling it an array was inappropriate! Because it was the place where the Five Phases Spiritual Qi had resided for thousands of years across the entire Azure Dragon Continent. All he could see was a purple sea of fire, bluish-white water vapor, mercury-like golden light, brilliant green, and thick yellow.
Zhang Xingfeng looked at these colors. He didn't know what they were. He only knew that they must be the result of countless gatherings of the Five Phases Spiritual Qi over thousands of years, or rather, the evolution of the Five Phases Spiritual Qi.
Zhang Xingfeng's first destination was the nearest palace, which belonged to the leader of the seven great demon emperors— the Heavy Profound Demon Emperor!
The palace of the Heavy Profound Demon Emperor was the closest, and therefore the least obstructed, consisting only of bluish-white water vapor and a purple sea of fire!
Zhang Xingfeng immediately flew towards the bluish-white water vapor. The further he flew, the more worried Zhang Xingfeng became. It turned out that the seven palaces were very far away from where he had come from, probably at least a hundred miles away. But because of the powerless void, Zhang Xingfeng hadn't noticed and thought they were very close!
As they drew closer, Zhang Xingfeng's confidence dwindled, as the bluish-white mist seemed to block Zhang Xingfeng way like a vast ocean.
"Profound Energy!" Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise. When he got closer, he realized that this was not water at all, but liquefied Profound Energy. Mysterious Profound Energy is the aura of ten thousand years of ice. Even Golden Core Stage cultivator could be frozen into an ice pop instantly! It is conceivable how terrifying this Profound Energy is.
"Kid, don't worry, I'm here. Go for it!" Tianyu's seductive voice echoed in Zhang Xingfeng's mind.
Zhang Xingfeng felt reassured. With Tianyu there, what was there to worry about? Zhang Xingfeng immediately mustered his Chaos Power and rushed into the sea of Profound Energy.
Zhang Xingfeng's body was now covered with a layer of Chaos Power energy. "Oh, Tianyu, this is really cool! It's really very comfortable!" But Zhang Xingfeng was still a little shocked. He could still feel the coolness inside the energy shield. You have to know that this energy shield was made of Chaos Power. You can imagine how cold this Profound Energy was.
Zhang Xingfeng was swimming in the sea of Profound Energy like a fish when suddenly Zhang Xingfeng expression changed.
"Ice Soul!"
The power of the Ice Soul is far beyond Profound Energy can match; even Nascent Soul Realm cultivator cannot withstand it. Zhang Xingfeng's concern wasn't that, but rather that he had just entered and already encountered the Ice Soul. What else might come next? Zhang Xingfeng dared not even think about it.
Before the cotton team lay a vast array of Ice Soul. Zhang Xingfeng's Chaos Power was already at its peak. Zhang Xingfeng he couldn't waste Chaos Power, and having already endured so much, what lay ahead? Zhang Xingfeng truly had no idea. Therefore, Zhang Xingfeng decided to use the Purple Blade to launch attacks, conserving his Chaos Power as much as possible.
"Drink!"
With a flash of Purple Blade, one of the Ice Soul was immediately shattered, transforming into Profound Energy that merged into the sea of Profound Energy and disappeared. The Purple Blade flashed again, and one by one, the Ice Soul followed the path of their brothers, each transforming into Profound Energy and becoming part of the sea of Profound Energy.
Zhang Xingfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, finally eliminating all the Ice Soul!
"Watch out!" Tianyu's voice suddenly rang out, and Zhang Xingfeng instantly felt a fluctuation behind him, immediately retaliating with a backhand strike!
"Bang!" Zhang Xingfeng was forced to retreat violently. He couldn't Teleportation at all because the pressure here was too great; Zhang Xingfeng couldn't possibly resist the sea of Profound Energy traversing space. If Zhang Xingfeng became an immortal, he probably would have this ability. It seems there's still a gap between Zhang Xingfeng's Teleportation and Teleportation of an immortal!
"The Ice Spirit!" Zhang Xingfeng almost cried. He had guessed it long ago, though he had tried to avoid it mentally. The reality was cruel; Zhang Xingfeng knew very well the power of the Ice Spirit. One Ice Spirit could eliminate a Soul Departure Stage cultivator in a single encounter. Even with his late- Avatar Nascent Soul strength, Zhang Xingfeng didn't want to face such an enemy!
What frustrates Zhang Xingfeng even more is that this place is essentially the home of the Ice Spirit, whose attack power is even stronger and whose whereabouts are even more difficult to ascertain.
"Nine Heavens Imperial Sword Art Technique - Jade - Rising!" Zhang Xingfeng's Purple Blade flashed, and a sword light arrived in front of the Ice Spirit. Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of the Ice Spirit! A flat white light!
"Boom!"
The Profound Energy surrounding Zhang Xingfeng immediately began to surge!
Suddenly, the Ice Spirit emitted another beam of white light, a circular beam. This circular light expanded rapidly, engulfing Zhang Xingfeng before he could react, forming a gigantic white sphere. Zhang Xingfeng was now inside this sphere.
"Damn it!" Zhang Xingfeng's expression changed. He was very familiar with the Ice Spirit's move!
"Clang!" The Purple Blade suddenly pierced the white light, but the white light suddenly intensified at the point of impact, completely blocking Zhang Xingfeng's fierce thrust. Zhang Xingfeng smiled bitterly.
"Kid, it has the entire Profound Energy Sea as its backing, so its power is practically inexhaustible. You can't possibly break through it!" Tianyu's voice sounded so unpleasant at this moment.
"I know, shut up!" Zhang Xingfeng said angrily, and Tianyu immediately fell silent.
"Hehe, I'd like to see just how strong you really are!" Zhang Xingfeng genuinely didn't believe that he, possessing the top-tier offensive immortal weapon— the Purple Blade —couldn't defeat this guy.
But before Zhang Xingfeng could even make a move, the Ice Spirit had already begun its attack. The white sphere suddenly expanded and then contracted, causing the surrounding Profound Energy Sea to Profound Energy violently.
When the sphere shrank, Zhang Xingfeng, inside it, felt an immense pressure that made him feel like he was about to shatter! And when the sphere expanded, Zhang Xingfeng felt like he was about to be torn in two!
"%¥#•" A strange sound suddenly rang out, and the Ice Spirit suddenly shone brightly, like an abyss, absorbing the surrounding Profound Energy. The sphere also began to light up, and the Ice Spirit became brighter and brighter, and the sphere became brighter and brighter. Zhang Xingfeng only felt the pressure getting greater and greater!
Zhang Xingfeng's expression changed, and he roared, "Nine Heavens Imperial Sword Art - Jade Purity!" Purple Blade flashed and pierced through the sphere. At this moment, the sphere was also expanding violently, but at the very moment it reached its largest size!
"Bang!"
The sphere exploded violently! At the same time, the Ice Spirit spat out a mouthful of green blood and collapsed! Zhang Xingfeng, however, was unharmed. He looked at the weakened Ice Spirit, smiled slightly, and immediately accelerated towards the interior!
"The Water Essence!" Zhang Xingfeng's face immediately lit up with an excited smile as he looked at the small, white, transparent sphere in front of him!
