161: Slay the Mayan priest with your sword!

To think there is actually an academy in this godforsaken place?

And people can actually Cultivate here?

Incredible!

On the other side.

Lu Chen still led his people, quietly sneaking into the secret location.

After all, their identities as competitors were just a cover.

What they really needed to do was not go on stage and fight.

Ignis just needed to show her face occasionally.

Ignis stepped on a foothold formed by her own magical lava, landing on the leaf-covered lake surface.

Her flame demon greatsword cleaved through the hanging vine curtains.

A faint drizzle drifted through the rainforest.

Upon touching the blade of the flame demon greatsword, the raindrops instantly vaporized, and in the rising white mist, one could seemingly see the figures of many undead buried in the forest.

At this moment, some strange auras emerged all around.

Ignis reacted extremely quickly!

She spun around and unleashed a sword strike.

"Playing god!"

She spun and slashed out a crescent-shaped wave of fire, but it refracted strangely upon touching a crystal skull, burning a thousand-year-old banyan tree to charcoal.

"Kan Palace water position, be careful!" Shelley's cold voice pierced through the rain curtain.

Shelley, who was monitoring from the dark, was hidden in the shadows.

Six ice crystal detectors hovered over her shoulders, projecting the rainforest's ley line energy spectrum into a holographic image.

She wanted to find the core of the Formation here!

The Fusion of magic and technology.

Gradually, the rain grew heavier.

Even the lake surface began to ripple.

In the sky, Morning Dew had already appeared from the horizon!

She dived straight down.

Standing above the sky of this rainforest.

Her gorgeous and flawless six wings of Holy Light were splashed with water droplets falling from the sky in the torrential rain.

Morning Dew descended with a spear of Holy Light, attacking the crystal skull.

But the moment the Holy Light touched the crystal skull, the heavenly dao contamination in her previous genetic chain caused this strike to slightly deviate.

The spear uncontrollably pierced into the mud!

Lu Chen held the tianwen sword, calmly looking around; he had not made a move yet.

He was searching for the key to the Formation here.

No matter what kind of Formation it was.

Whether it was a foreign Formation or an Eastern one.

In Lu Chen's eyes, all changes remain true to their origin.

The positions he saw were all judged according to the directions of the Bagua.

"Found it!"

Lu Chen tapped the Zhen Palace position, and his Sword Qi shattered three hidden crystal skulls lurking there.

At the same time, rotting corpses, like living people, burst out of the mud with a bang.

Their hems had already been corroded by poisonous vines.

Revealing inner armor engraved with strange Talismanic Incantations!

Lu Chen watched this scene and said coldly: "This is not an ordinary illusion Formation; it looks like the Spiritual Qi of the ley lines here has been directly rewritten into a living altar!"

On the main competition field side.

The contestants from the Maya branch were emerging from the crystal mist, their pupils beneath their golden headdresses also faintly gleaming with a bronze luster.

A contestant inserted the obsidian scepter in his hand into the ground, and the low roar of the Feathered Serpent God came from deep in the rainforest.

The phantom giant snake he summoned suddenly materialized!

The emerald giant python coiled around the giant tree and soared into the sky, its snake eyes swirling with a doomsday prophecy like the "Maya Calendar" — the snake god's twin eyes bleeding!

Back to the present.

The real threat finally revealed its true form.

A decaying Maya priest.

Appeared before everyone.

"In the name of Kukulcan!" The priest chanted a spell, and suddenly an earthquake came from the rainforest!

Even the bronze arena used for the competition outside cracked open with blood sacrifice trenches.

Ignis leaped up and raised her greatsword to slash at the snake scales!

Sparks flew instantly, and Ignis's lava tattoos spread from her arms across her whole body.

The next moment, she became an Incarnation of a flame demon!

The scorching flames crawled onto the snake's body.

"A snake should stay in a deep fryer!"

Crimson flames condensed into liquid in the crystal mist, devouring the opponent.

Trails of icy flying locks broke through the air and attacked.

Shelley's ice crystal chains entangled the giant python's seven-inch mark, and Absolute Zero froze the scales until they had spiderweb cracks. "Ignis, hit its seven-inch mark, its energy node is there, the magic core!"

Before she finished speaking, Morning Dew's Holy Light had already transformed into a powerful bronze radiance, and flying light swords pierced through the blood vessels into the giant python's body!

And these Holy Light Flying Swords, fused with heavenly dao contamination, actually began to suck the giant snake's poisonous blood.

This was completely different from Morning Dew's previous Holy Light magic!

At this moment on the competition field.

Although everyone had stopped competing.

But on the crystal sky screen condensed by the Maya priests.

It displayed the situation of Lu Chen and the others here.

The spectator stands erupted in exclamation.

The Alliance's monitoring Jade Slip showed that the spiritual power spectrum here was experiencing a huge oscillation.

Clearly, a huge magical resonance was occurring in the rainforest at this moment.

That was the fierce battle of strong experts.

Lu Chen, who was in the rainforest.

Had been quietly waiting for an opportunity.

When the opportunity came.

The priest was obviously prepared as well.

Instantly setting up a barrier.

At the same time, strange fluctuations began to appear on his body.

Ning Xiwei killed her way out from the darkness of the Void Realm to the side!

Stepping out of the shadows, she directly controlled dozens of bone puppets, frantically self-destructing to break through the barrier.

The book of the dead she held in her hand bloomed with undead magic in the torrential rain!

Ning Xiwei looked at the priest inside the barrier, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said to Lu Chen:

"He is sacrificing himself!"

Sure enough, the priest sacrificed the only thing he had left — his Soul!

Summoning a strange miniature pyramid.

At the top of the pyramid, arrays of crystal skulls floated in the air.

They suddenly opened their eyes, projecting the illusion of doomsday judgment: seventy-two academies collapsing in a bronze torrent, the eye of guixu hanging high above the burning Earth.

Then came powerful spirit magic, spreading in all directions.

"This is exactly the moment I've been waiting for!"

Lu Chen gave a cold shout.

The golden compass flew out of his hand, and three hundred copper coins formed the Hetu Formation, melting the barrier into liquid when it touched the crystal light screen.

"Ignis, watch out behind you —!" Morning Dew's cry tore through the rain curtain.

Ignis turned her head sharply, seeing the Maya priest's chest split open, extending asphalt tentacles to wrap around her throat.

But the next moment, her whole body ignited with scorching flames. A fire tornado with a diameter of one hundred meters ignited in the rainforest.

The torrential rain vaporized into a cloud pillar in the center of the fire tornado, and lava dripped from the tips of Ignis's hair, scorching trails of lava onto the obsidian ground.

The Maya priest's asphalt tentacles twisted in the flames, but a sneer appeared on his rotten face, "The flame demon's rage is the best sacrifice! None of you are a match for the Heavens!"

"You talk too much!"

Lu Chen said coldly, then immediately raised his sword and killed his way to close range.

With one sword strike, he repelled the priest.

Seeing that his Soul had not been extinguished.

Lu Chen saw the clue.

Immediately, the sword tip urged the Nether Sword Qi, wrapped in powerful Power of the Undead, and stabbed into the "Kan Palace" water position here!

In an instant, the powerful Sword Qi triggered the underground river.

A water tornado soared into the sky, interweaving with the fire tornado to form a taiji diagram.

Shelley seized the opportunity to throw the Ice Soul Bead, and the magic under Absolute Zero condensed the water vapor into ten thousand ice cones: "Ice Magic — Break!"

The instant the ice-fire vortex exploded, the priest's tentacles disintegrated with a bang, revealing a bronze magic artifact hidden at the core.
