Chapter 560 Thunderfire Cone
"This...is truly a catastrophe."
Ling Xuzi kept fleeing within the Hidden Star Palace. The light veil he wore was a rare treasure, capable of concealing his aura.
When my cultivation level was low, I relied on this treasure to survive many near-death experiences.
"I never imagined that after the Mahayana path, there would be such a wretched moment..."
"Who on earth dared to defy the world and destroy the Taiyin Qingsu Moon Palace..."
He fled to the edge of the Hidden Star Palace, but did not escape further.
Clearly, they were also planning to use the restrictions here to temporarily escape.
"Without me, the human race will likely receive no further support... On the contrary, the powerful clans will undoubtedly launch a rescue operation. That will be my opportunity!"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Ling Xuzi's eyes.
"If I perish here, humanity will surely face a great calamity..."
Just as he was about to continue hiding, he suddenly felt flames pressing down on him from behind.
Ling Xuzi turned around and saw a streak of crimson light emerge from the depths of the Hidden Star Palace.
That crimson hue initially resembled a flame, carrying a flowing rhythm, and then continued to expand, as if transforming into a fiery lotus.
The fiery lotus slowly bloomed, its scorching aura enveloping the entire Hidden Star Palace.
In the dim light, it seemed as if a demonic Mahayana cultivator roared angrily, slashing down with his mountain-splitting axe.
But in the end, it was still enveloped by that crimson lotus...
The crimson lotus continued to expand, starting from the center of the Hidden Star Palace and rapidly spreading to the surrounding area, its invasion as fierce as fire!
"The Great Dao of Fire? No... it's not just that... a flame that can melt even Mahayana cultivators and immortal artifacts, could it be some kind of immortal fire?"
Lingxuzi gritted his teeth.
He originally wanted to rely on the Hidden Star Palace to maneuver, but times have changed. Now that the entire Hidden Star Palace is about to collapse, he can no longer rely on it!
Swish!
Ling Xuzi made a hand seal, and a white crane appeared in front of him, spreading its wings and accompanied by a clear light. It transformed into a dazzling ray of light and used some kind of peculiar escape technique to leap out of the Hidden Star Palace's range.
"this……"
Ling Xuzi swept his divine sense backward and saw that at the same time as him, one after another streaks of light were fleeing from the Hidden Star Palace as if their lives depended on it.
Not far away, there was a giant, jet-black bird whose wings flapped, causing countless black feathers to fall like raindrops...
"The Celestial Elder... even he..."
Ling Xuzi was horrified. He saw that the fire lotus behind him was like a barrier, blocking several Mahayana escape lights that were trying to escape.
Then, the earth trembled slightly, but soon returned to calm.
"That's... a true immortal? Truly terrifying..."
"This one seems to be a banished immortal from another continent... He's been sealed away in some battlefield... Is it the Valley of Fallen Immortals?"
Ling Xuzi flew out of the Hidden Star Palace, intending to check the various places where people could escape and hide, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Above the sky, chains stretched out in a grid pattern, resembling a chessboard.
Within the Hidden Star Palace, the fire lotus refined several Mahayana cultivators, yet its expansion speed only accelerated...
"Blocked from the outside, and rife with internal strife..."
"He...he actually intends to refine the entire Mountain and Sea Secret Realm! This entire secret realm is a gigantic coffin!"
Ling Xuzi's face was filled with horror.
"The predecessor of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm was the Mountain and Sea Immortal Palace! Who on earth possesses such magical power and audacity... to actually refine the entire Immortal Palace?"
"Oh no... the secret realm is locked! Aren't we trapped like turtles in a jar?"
Some Mahayana cultivators realized what was happening and their faces filled with despair...
"The most urgent task is to find a safe place as soon as possible... and set up an array. Let's go to the Taiyin Qingsu Moon Palace!"
Ling Xuzi made a decision without hesitation.
Just then, a golden light, like an arrow, suddenly struck the white crane that was fleeing ahead.
The white crane let out a mournful cry, then immediately transformed into a sky full of white light and vanished without a trace.
"Who is it?"
Ling Xuzi glanced around and saw a great cultivator from another race with bat-like black fleshy wings spread out on his back and a third vertical eye between his eyebrows.
The golden light just now was clearly emitted from its vertical eye.
At this moment, he was holding a hammer in one hand and a small, bright red awl in the other, staring at him with a malicious expression.
"Why did the Three-Eyed Clan attack this old man?"
A long sword with a wooden texture appeared in Ling Xuzi's hand, and he shouted.
"Hmph... Human Mahayana cultivator, hand over that 'Heavenly Veil' in your hand... and I'll spare your life!"
The three-eyed Mahayana cultivator licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the light veil covering Ling Xuzi: "This extraordinary treasure is a waste in your hands. It would be better to hand it over to me... to give me a better chance of survival!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Ling Xuzi felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the other party had come for the treasures on his body. He immediately abandoned all hope and swung his wooden sword!
Splash!
It's as if spring has returned to the earth, with hundreds of flowers blooming.
A series of emerald green rays appeared, transforming into an incomparably dazzling sword blade, which slashed down towards the three-eyed clan's Mahayana cultivator!
Wherever it passed, the void rippled slightly, demonstrating its terrifying power, especially considering that the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm had been sealed off!
"Hmph, courting death!"
Faced with an attack that would make even a Mahayana divine beast wary, the three-eyed race Mahayana cultivator simply raised the small purple hammer and crimson cone in his hand and struck them hard.
Stab it!
The purple hammer struck the tip of the cone, and immediately a layer of lightning and fire power burst forth!
Splash!
Rumble!
The power of the two Great Daos was drawn in and inexplicably merged, transforming into a dazzling purplish-red radiance that directly shattered the sword light.
"This is... a celestial artifact of the thunder and fire element?!"
Ling Xuzi exclaimed in shock, and immediately patted his storage bag, revealing a tortoise shell magic treasure.
puff!
The crimson light from the converged thunder and fire continued its relentless advance, piercing through the tortoise-shell magic weapon and landing on Ling Xuzi.
"what!"
He screamed in agony, his body seemingly turning to ashes in the thunder and fire.
But in the next instant, another figure emerged from the ashes—it was Ling Xuzi!
But at this moment, looking at the wooden sword broken in two in his hand, his heart was filled with despair.
This three-eyed Mahayana cultivator actually possessed a celestial artifact for protection, which even Mahayana divine beasts would avoid.
After all, a complete immortal artifact is enough to draw upon the power of the Great Dao, granting its wielder near-immortal combat strength!
Not to mention, the three-eyed alien race has always been known for its powerful lightning and fire attributes, which complement this immortal artifact perfectly.
"The Three-Eyed Clan... actually possesses a celestial artifact?"
Ling Xuzi spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face contorted in a grimace.
"Hehe... This [Thunderfire Cone] immortal artifact was obtained by me in the Hidden Star Palace... As expected, there are quite a few immortal artifacts in such immortal palaces and secret realms. Moreover, the Hidden Star Palace has always been sealed off. This time it was suddenly opened, and there are quite a few Mahayana cultivators who entered it and obtained opportunities... You are unlucky to have met me."
The Three-Eyed Clan's Mahayana disciple sneered, and the small purple hammer in his right hand slammed down again.
Crack!
A flash of purple lightning struck, and Ling Xuzi closed his eyes, awaiting death, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
He opened his eyes in surprise and saw a human cultivator blocking his way.
The celestial lightning released by the magical artifact landed in the opponent's hand, transforming into a small purple snake that coiled and slithered between his five fingers...
"this……"
Ling Xuzi actually recognized this human cultivator. He was short and stocky, with an unremarkable appearance, and wore a golden crown, looking like a monkey wearing a crown.
It was none other than Elder Dongxuan of the Three Saints Pass—the 'Master of Jinluan Mountain'!
"Young friend Jinluan, you..."
Ling Xuzi stared at the purple lightning snake and suddenly shut his mouth.
Because he knew that this was something that could not be achieved with mere spiritual power.
"Perhaps... this is no longer the Lord of Jinluan Mountain, but rather... the True Lord Xuanming Runji?"
He bowed respectfully and stepped aside.
"The Three-Eyed Clan's Mahayana stage? A Celestial Artifact—the [Thunderfire Cone]?"
Holding the electric snake, Fang Qing looked at the three-eyed Mahayana cultivator in front of him with great interest and laughed, "Hand over the immortal artifact you hold, and I'll spare your life, how about it?"
"Human cultivator, you've gone too far!"
The three-eyed Mahayana cultivator immediately flew into a rage. These were the very words he had used to humiliate Ling Xuzi, yet they had been returned to him verbatim.
In his rage, the lightning and fire energy around him became extremely violent, suddenly transforming into two angry dragons that poured into the lightning and fire cone.
Stab it!
The Three-Eyed Clan's Mahayana ascended to the heavens, seemingly transforming into a thunder god, his right hand's purple thunder hammer slamming fiercely onto the crimson cone.
One after another, purplish-red marks appeared, transforming into the Great Dao Seals, carrying the power of the Great Dao of Lightning and Fire, and crashed down!
"Not bad, not bad... This immortal artifact can actually fuse the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Fire..."
Fang Qing's eyes lit up.
He also possesses the [Winged Fire] and [Mysterious Thunder] metal positions, but has never known how to harmonize them.
If one can comprehend this celestial artifact, it can greatly enhance one's cultivation.
Moreover... it can also repair the previously damaged [Wing Fire] main position and [Mystic Thunder] sequence.
Therefore, even without Ling Xuzi's involvement, Fang Qing would stand up for the Three-Eyed Clan Mahayana cultivators.
With a wave of his hand, the small purple snake in his hand immediately darted out and transformed into a purple electric dragon.
Two horns sprouted from its head, and four claws emerged from its belly. Various purple seal characters appeared on its dazzling scales, carrying an ancient and simple aura of [Mysterious Thunder], which met the magnificent thunder and fire light of [Thunderfire Cone].
Boom!
The void trembled slightly, followed by a chaotic dance of countless bolts of lightning.
One after another, black and white lightning orbs appeared, each one powerful enough to injure a Mahayana cultivator.
At this moment, there were countless, more than a thousand, in the void.
"go!"
The three-eyed clan's Mahayana muttered incantations, his hand holding the [Thunderfire Cone] surrounded by celestial light, pointing at Fang Qing.
The thousands of black and white lightning balls immediately fell like raindrops.
Fang Qing raised his hand, and a Thunder Palace appeared.
This Thunder Palace has an ancient and simple design, with white jade steps and nine palace gates that open and close, from which many kinds of divine thunder, such as jade pillars, divine sky, and the five elements, emerge.
It is a divine power—the 'Yuan Lei Palace'!
The gates of the Yuanlei Palace opened and closed, swallowing the black and white lightning orbs completely.
Then, streaks of jade-colored lightning spread along the direction of the black and white lightning spheres, reaching the body of the three-eyed clan's Mahayana cultivator.
Those defensive magical artifacts and even layers of light barriers instantly turned to ashes.
A bolt of lightning struck the arm of the three-eyed Mahayana cultivator who was swiftly retreating, and exploded in his horrified gaze.
The world turned white.
The three-eyed Mahayana cultivator was no longer there; only the purplish-red [Thunderfire Cone] floated silently in the air...
