314: Heart-piercing fantasy

These nine stones were transparent and white, with not a speck of usable spiritual energy within them, yet they exuded infinite pressure.

Even Chen Tianming only knew that this object was created by an ancient great immortal.

His divine power was immense.

Using a Fire Kirin as a guide, he severed the South Heaven Gate, forcefully separating the Small World from the Source World.

Chen Tianming couldn't even comprehend the operations of such a great immortal; a bunch of rabble could research nothing.

Especially the first person to touch the crystal, he instantly petrified and died on the spot.

Everyone was even more unwilling to approach the crystal, only observing from a distance.

At the same time, they were chattering loudly, discussing in a chaotic manner.

"This crystal is milky white, devoid of spiritual energy yet containing infinite pressure. Do any of you know why?"

"Legend says that the divine stone Nuwa used to mend the heavens also had no spiritual energy. Do you think this could be one of the remaining ones?"

"Legend? Legends also say stones can turn into monkeys!"

"The Heaven-Mending Divine Stone was colorful like auspicious clouds, how could it be so transparent and white?"

This was interesting.

Chen Tianming's appraisal skill could ascertain the material of the spirit stones and knew their general function was to form stable barriers.

But who their owners and creators were, Chen Tianming had no idea.

Since so many great immortals present, knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, couldn't figure it out, then... why not just eliminate them all?

Chen Tianming found an excuse, wanting to lure people into another trap.

However, at this moment, Venerable White Eyebrow spoke first.

"Everyone, be careful. This kind of thing, being without spiritual energy, is probably not a product of the Source World!"

Warned by Venerable White Eyebrow, everyone retreated two steps.

Chen Tianming saw that he intended to act, so he waited to see what method Venerable White Eyebrow would use to counter the crystal.

At this moment, Venerable White Eyebrow stepped forward.

"Break!"

At his fingertip, exquisite miniature swords spun and floated, like demonic claws.

Venerable White Eyebrow thrust out a claw, and five miniature swords plunged directly into the crystal.

Unexpectedly, conical ripples appeared around the miniature swords, like falling meteorites, preventing them from advancing even a step.

Venerable White Eyebrow was stunned, he couldn't help but tense up and push hard.

His miniature swords could break anything under heaven and end lives.

Now they were blocked by a mere stone?

Venerable White Eyebrow didn't believe it and exerted force again, but his feet actually carved two furrows in the ground.

He withdrew his divine ability, his breathing uneven, and his eyes remained unsettled for a long time.

Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow, smirking inwardly.

This Venerable White Eyebrow is only at this level, attempting to contend with a god and making a fool of himself, truly laughable.

He readjusted his state, swaying his body exaggeratedly like a shaman performing a ritual.

"Uh... no!!"

Chen Tianming's loud shout attracted everyone's attention.

His twitching appearance was as if he were possessed.

His golden body shimmered, and a sacred, starlight glow emanated from Chen Tianming.

At the same time, he spoke mysteriously.

"It is useless for you to linger here; you must continue to explore forward. Our legacy awaits you ahead!"

After speaking, the glow disappeared, and Chen Tianming feigned a difficult recovery.

He looked at everyone in surprise.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you looking at me like that?"

After saying that, he naturally retreated three steps, looking afraid.

One of the great immortals spoke.

"You! You were possessed by a ghost just now!"

Another person next to him rolled his eyes.

"What ghost possession! That's called body snatching!"

Venerable White Eyebrow stepped forward, grabbing Chen Tianming's wrist, sword qi constantly swirling around his fingers.

He was testing Chen Tianming.

However, Chen Tianming's realm had long transcended the mundane, and with the system's aid, his spiritual power was as vast as a sea of stars.

How could Venerable White Eyebrow easily probe him clearly?

He only felt that Chen Tianming's spiritual power was ordinary, having nothing but the Ice Palace inheritance.

Then he furrowed his brow, asking with some suspicion.

"Does Daoist Tianming not remember anything from just now?"

Chen Tianming nodded blankly.

Venerable White Eyebrow took a deep breath.

"If that is truly the case, I fear we have indeed entered the trial grounds of an ancient Celestial God!"

Chen Tianming chuckled inwardly.

"Stupid old man..."

But on the surface, he still looked startled.

"A Celestial God! Then, who is that divine being!"

Venerable White Eyebrow walked to everyone with his hands behind his back.

"Look, Daoist Tianming just now emitted starlight. Although he was just a vessel, the surging pressure was certainly not fake. I suspect it's the Kirin!"

With that one sentence, discussions instantly erupted.

"Kirin, that's an ancient guardian beast!"

"Just now we encountered Sanwei Zhenhuo in the lava, so it's indeed the Kirin, no doubt!"

"Kirin's legacy? If one obtains it, wouldn't they directly ascend to godhood?"

Seeing the chaos around him, Venerable White Eyebrow immediately cleared his throat.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. Everyone, since there's an ancient god's legacy waiting for us, why don't we gather and proceed quickly now!"

Everyone immediately nodded, gathering before Venerable White Eyebrow.

With this world's strongest person leading the way, everyone else felt a little more at ease.

Then, the second pillar of light appeared before everyone's eyes.

With previous experience, everyone was nervously poised and ready.

In their view, wherever there was a pillar of light, there must be strong protection.

As they nervously approached the pillar of light, they found that, apart from a gigantic crystal stone, there was nothing else.

This spirit stone appeared identical in form to the first, as if they were caught in a ghost-hit wall.

But there was no lava nearby.

Not only was it not hot, it was even terrifyingly cold.

If not for the protection of their golden bodies and the infusion of spiritual power, they would be unable to resist.

Even more unusual was that the spirit stone itself had no spiritual power, yet the surrounding environment was clearly altered by it.

The icy aura made their hearts freeze.

The terrifying cold quickly exceeded the great immortals' tolerance, and even their golden bodies couldn't withstand the erosion.

They began to huddle together, trembling, seeking warmth in groups.

However, the effects of divine power were far from ordinary severe cold; soon, everyone's faces were covered in frost, their spiritual power dissipated, and they gradually became desperate.

Yet, when they turned their heads, they found Chen Tianming was perfectly fine, clad in Ice Armor, completely unaffected by the cold.

Human nature is evil.

Since Daoist Tianming could survive, then by seizing his armor, everyone could survive!

In a panic, one great immortal launched an attack first.

His immortal sword pointed, piercing straight through the heart.

But this was just the beginning; everyone was filled with killing intent, starting to scramble for it.

For a time, blood flowed freely, and wreckage was everywhere.

However, the injured Chen Tianming's body merely swayed slightly, completely unharmed.

He looked at Venerable White Eyebrow in confusion, and Venerable White Eyebrow was equally puzzled.

At this moment, before them, all the great immortals were frozen in place like statues, frantically releasing all the spiritual power within their bodies!

Chess Saint frowned.

"If this continues! They will die from exhaustion!"

Venerable White Eyebrow probed.

"Does Daoist Tianming have a solution?"

Chen Tianming's mouth twitched.

"Ah? I'm so unlearned, how could I think of a solution!"
