218: Chapter 218 A Strange Treasure Appears, Heroes Pounce, Four Fiendish Undead Killing Formation?
In the sky, ten thousand zhang of thunderclouds gathered, pressing down like ink, with purple lightning flashing frequently.
Accompanying this, an endless stream of heaven and earth anomalies arrived one after another.
The endless roars and howls of Vicious Beasts continued incessantly, their ferocious might hanging between heaven and earth, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
Sword radiance buried the abyss, slaughtering millions of beings; even ancient immortals and demons would be reduced to dust and annihilation.
Furthermore, an extremely enchanting demonic-immortal figure rose from a coffin beneath a cracked and shattered fissure in the heart of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, surrounded by the eerie corpse Qi of the Senluo Bone Temple, gazing northwards to survey the entire situation.
This commotion, which shook the entire region, obviously could not be hidden from the Cultivators who had intruded into the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons in search of Opportunity.
Opportunity in this world is inherently about deception and mutual strife.
Now that a treasure has appeared, naturally, few people are willing to fall behind others and become mere supporting greenery.
After all, those who can come here have never been Cultivators well-versed in the way of survival through hiding.
As the saying goes, the way of hiding seeks life, but the way of hiding invites death; keep hiding, and you will eventually hide yourself to death.
"This is... an exotic treasure descending into the world?!"
In the far north, a figure with a tiger's back and a bear's waist had just finished slaughtering a Dragon, standing bathed in the Dragon's blood, looking toward the source of the commotion with ripples of astonishment in his eyes.
At a glance, this person followed the path of an ancient Body Cultivator, whose foundation was to shake ten thousand races and advance with solitary courage.
"This Opportunity is destined to be mine!"
In the south, amidst a chaotic expanse of withered bones and Gu insects, a figure in purple robes flew out, strange in appearance and form, exuding an oppressive force that made one's heart tremble.
"Great Opportunity! Great Opportunity! Hahaha! Favored by the heavens, this old man has hope of passing his Bottleneck!"
In the region slightly to the southwest, an old man with completely white hair suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, his intense spirit overflowing in his expression.
Judging by his cultivation level, it was unfathomable.
...
For a time, as that ancient aura was revealed, it triggered countless disturbances.
Countless Prodigies and powerhouses were all attracted, looking toward the source of the sound.
Following the wind, many powerhouses moved like chasing clouds, their steps like flowing light, desperately flying toward what they believed to be the place of Opportunity, attempting to arrive faster than others and monopolize the treasure.
And located at the very center of the storm and vortex was precisely the location where Gu Qingge and Nangong Shiya were currently situated.
"Could it be that we triggered a Restriction?"
Startled by the heaven and earth anomalies, Gu Qingge hurriedly stopped his flight through the air, his Spiritual Qi momentarily stagnating.
With his current cultivation Realm, he could already glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the great ominous omen triggered by this chaotic disturbance.
"No, that's not right."
After a brief moment of thought, Gu Qingge could basically confirm that after killing the Void Demon Giant Crocodile, they had not triggered any Restrictions while moving.
Thus, the prerequisite conditions for causing such a change were missing.
In this case, there was only one possibility.
In this Secret Realm, some unspeakable, terrifying entity must have awakened!
Likewise, riches are sought amidst danger; the Treasure Trove hidden behind this is definitely not comparable to ordinary Opportunities.
"We should increase our speed."
"Otherwise, once outsiders break into the core area, even if we get the treasure, it will be very difficult to escape," Gu Qingge analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Shiya did not deliberately echo his words; she merely scanned the surroundings with her gaze, then followed his movements step by step.
She did not ask any questions, nor did she offer any reminders, merely casting her final gaze toward a certain place.
That was the destination of her trip.
Another stretch of non-stop flight followed.
Suddenly, a patch of white mist drifted up in the distance directly in front of them.
"Oh no, it's the Four Evils Demon Statues." Seeing this, Nangong Shiya said anxiously.
Afterward, the two, who had been holding hands, were separated by an invisible force.
Forced apart?
In an instant, before Gu Qingge could react, he immediately felt himself plunged into a darkness where he could not see his own fingers.
The next moment, shattered starlight and glazed ripples suddenly oscillated in the surroundings.
Within the concentric ripples, four figures wreathed in eerie, treacherous Qi took shape.
Each one was ferociously cold and vicious, not something ordinary in this world.
First, positioned directly in front was the image of a Yao Beast with a head but no body, and eyes growing under its armpits.
It possessed a giant mouth leading to the Realm of nothingness, seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens and earth and refining the abyss.
Anything that fell into its mouth had no chance of escape.
On the left was a mass of murky, unclear mist, drifting with form, yet formless when gathered.
It could not be defined, could not be selected, and even more so, could not be targeted.
It seemed like protoplasm left in the world, its reason for existence being twisted nothingness.
It could corrode and assimilate every character it set its sights on.
On the right was a Yao Beast with wings on its ribs, the body of an ox, and the torso of a tiger.
The moment it appeared, it locked onto Gu Qingge as its prey, automatically assuming the role of a hunter.
It only waited for the "will of heaven" in the dark to descend, and it would immediately strike to completely end Gu Qingge's fate.
Behind him, Gu Qingge roughly locked onto its silhouette with the corner of his eye.
It had a tiger's body and a human face, with fangs and giant teeth, and in every roar, it carried the intent of death from the Nine Nether Springs.
The aura of violence and destruction swept in like a wave, swearing to overturn everything.
"Four Evils Demon Statues?"
Gu Qingge kept mulling over Nangong Shiya's previous words in his mouth.
"If that is the case... these four things are..."
"Taotie... Chaos... Qiongqi... Taowu..."
Gu Qingge tried hard to connect these four Yao Beasts with some legendary Yao Beast images in his memory, and the logic instantly became a bit clearer.
"Could it be that this Formation is the legendary Four Evils Undead Killing Formation?"
Upon this thought, Gu Qingge's pupils constricted slightly.
Although he had never studied the Dao of Formations, he knew of its existence as one of the top ten absolute Formations in the cultivation world.
The Formation resources and Materials used for this Four Evils Undead Killing Formation could be called extremely expensive and rare.
Not only did it require the dead souls and essences of the four evils, but it also had to be paired with various Heaven And Earth Treasures, as well as divine objects refined through artifact forging.
Each item was enough to make a hegemon of a continent ache with pain, and was something a top Family or force could not afford.
"Using this Formation as the guardian Formation of the Secret Realm. The owner of this Secret Realm truly has a grand hand!"
Looking at the ingenious Formation surrounding him, he sighed sincerely.
Presumably, the owner of this Secret Realm was also a powerhouse with peerless skills in the art of Formations.
"However, I have never been afraid of anything challenging."
"Even if they were once an invincible powerhouse, so what?"
"You must know, invincible in the world, enemies come from the heavens!"
Gu Qingge wielded his weapon, gripping the blood-colored demon heaven halberd in his hand, preparing to break through and kill, first to figure out the bottom line of these four Vicious Beasts.
On the other side, compared to Gu Qingge's caution and careful planning, Nangong Shiya appeared exceptionally calm and unhurried, even strolling leisurely, as if everything before her was under her control.
"Speaking of which, leading you into this killing trap, I am sincerely a bit reluctant."
Nangong Shiya gazed toward the end of the darkness, her bright eyes suddenly revealing a "moving even if heartless" femme fatale appearance.
"But who told that thing to be born early, attracting the prying eyes of all parties."
"Only by burying you here can I feel slightly at ease."
"After all, only a dead man is a good man."
Nangong Shiya curled her sexy and alluring red lips, and a smile full of calculation appeared on her pretty cheeks.
As if true yet illusory, demonic and peerlessly enchanting!
