Upon hearing about the chain of restrictions, Devil Lord Six Desires froze. He instinctively stopped what he was doing, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean? When would I have ever set up a chain of restrictions?"
"You dare to deny it even when death is at your doorstep? If it wasn't you who set up the chain of restrictions, could it possibly be that old thing, Meng the Hunchback?!"
Seeing that Duanmu Ji refused to believe him, Devil Lord Six Desires tapped his chest, and a drop of scorching blood was stripped from his body.
"Brother Duanmu, I am willing to swear by my inner demon. Besides the two of us, there must be someone else here, and I have never set up any chain of restrictions."
Seeing Devil Lord Six Desires swear by his inner demon, Duanmu Ji stopped his movements; after all, what cultivators feared most was the interference of an inner demon.
If this matter were truly the work of Devil Lord Six Desires, then what awaited him next would be the breeding of an inner demon, his path of cultivation would be unable to advance even a fraction, and he might even face the destruction of his body and soul.
"In that case... besides us arriving here, others have also arrived... could it be Meng the Hunchback?"
"I fear not. Meng the Hunchback does not have a deep understanding of formations. It is very likely that little brat Luo Chuan whom you brought..."
Before Devil Lord Six Desires could finish his sentence, the entire Forbidden Mountain suddenly shook violently. The ground cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, and a surge of energy, far more terrifying than before, surged up from beneath the earth.
Duanmu Ji's pupils constricted. Just as he was about to warn him to be careful, a "hum" echoed from the void above. Countless purple-gold lightning bolts swirled and gathered like coiling dragons, forming a pillar of lightning that pierced through the heavens and earth.
"Not good! It's the Final Restriction!"
Duanmu Ji roared as he sacrificed his remaining defensive magic treasure, while Devil Lord Six Desires also stopped his movements, hurriedly channeling his devil energy to form a black shield.
But the moment the purple lightning fell, the magic treasure and the shield shattered like paper. The power of the lightning rampaged through their meridians, and both men spat out a large mouthful of blood simultaneously, their bodies sent flying backward by the impact.
"This little brat Luo Chuan... he actually managed to trigger the Final Restriction!"
Devil Lord Six Desires clutched his chest, glaring with fury, his face filled with shock and unwillingness.
Duanmu Ji's aura was even more chaotic, his aged body swaying unsteadily. Looking at the constantly collapsing Forbidden Mountain, he gritted his teeth and said:
"We cannot stay here long. Retreat!"
The two men no longer had any intention of confronting each other. Supporting one another, they stumbled backward, retreating in a sorry state from the Forbidden Mountain amidst the roaring sound of falling lightning, terrified of dying miserably in this place.
Luo Chuan placed his hands in front of his chest, touching his index fingers and thumbs together to form a diamond-shaped pattern. Then, he whispered, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his fingertips.
The beam of light shot straight into the clouds, and a majestic force suddenly enveloped the entire peak of the Forbidden Mountain, instantly destroying all the restrictions.
Following the destruction of the restrictions, the mountain peak before him began to shake violently, and then even more formidable energy swept toward this direction like a surging tide.
Even as a mid-stage Yingbian Realm cultivator, Luo Chuan could clearly feel his Nascent Soul trembling frantically.
"So this is the true power of the Ancient God Tusi. Truly shocking!"
Xu Liguo was terrified in his heart and immediately hid behind Luo Chuan, trembling as he said, "What kind of energy is this? It's so terrifying. Master, let's leave here quickly."
Just then, a golden light suddenly appeared in the area. The moment the light enveloped the place, a giant, thousands of feet tall, slowly manifested. The massive energy instantly suppressed Luo Chuan, making him unable to move an inch.
"My name is Tusi. You have broken all the restrictions within this Forbidden Mountain peak. I grant you the title of the third Great Comprehender of the Forbidden Mountain and bestow upon you the jade slip for crafting the Restriction Banner."
"If you can enter my main body's sea of consciousness, you may receive a portion of my main body's restriction memories as a Comprehender. Every Comprehender can obtain a piece of Mojian Stone within my sea of consciousness. This Mojian Stone is not produced on any planet; it is only produced in the starry sky."
"It is an essential material for crafting a Restriction Banner. As long as you carve nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine restrictions upon it, you can create a Restriction Banner. Junior, take care of yourself."
Luo Chuan accepted the Ancient God's Memory Inheritance and bowed respectfully to the phantom before him, "Many thanks, Senior."
Xu Liguo asked curiously, "Master, who is this person? To make you so respectful, could he be a Ascendant Realm powerhouse?"
"Ascendant Realm?" Luo Chuan replied with a cold tone. "This person is the Eight-Star Ancient God Tusi, whose own power had long since reached the pinnacle of perfection; an Ascendant Realm cultivator is nothing more than an ant in his presence."
"However, Tusi is already dead. This is merely a special projection he left behind, and it will not pose a threat to us. Let's go."
Xu Liguo twitched his mouth. He had originally thought this giant could kill that Sha star, but it seemed there was no longer any chance for that.
What a pity, truly a pity.
Luo Chuan, having left the second trial, was teleported to a Treasure Pavilion. This was a place that only those who had gained enlightenment on the Forbidden Mountain could visit.
Previously, Luo Chuan had not fully broken all the restrictions of the Forbidden Mountain, so he had not been teleported here, nor had he obtained the items inside the Treasure Pavilion.
If his guess was correct, there should be a special treasure inside this Treasure Pavilion, something left behind by the powerful figures who had gained enlightenment on the restrictions in the past.
There were no other structures on the top floor; in the center, there was only something resembling a candlestick, and inside the candlestick was a drawer, yet it was empty.
If it were anyone else, they might have chosen to leave upon seeing that there was nothing else here, but as a transmigrator, Luo Chuan knew very well that there was a hidden compartment inside the drawer.
Luo Chuan exerted force with his right hand, and the energy on the hidden compartment was instantly shattered. Immediately, a blood-red storage bag appeared before him.
"It really is here."
Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the special storage bag in his hand. He didn't care for the other items inside, but the star map would be of great use.
As for the blood-red energy hovering around the storage bag, it must have been the restriction left behind by Nado.
Nado was, after all, at the peak of the Ascendant Realm during his prime, so the soul power he set was naturally not to be underestimated. However, with Luo Chuan's current strength, although he could open it, it would require a significant amount of time to succeed.
What Luo Chuan lacked right now was time; he had no spare time to break the restriction Nado had left on the storage bag here.
If Tuosen knew he was here, he would definitely arrange for the Blood Sea War General Duomu and others to hunt him down, thereby preventing him from obtaining the Ancient God's Memory Inheritance.
Luo Chuan put the storage bag away without hesitation and turned to look at the vortex floating in mid-air. This should be the entrance to the third trial.
