LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1446 Monster Palace
Zhou Yiqiao's speed was so fast that he almost turned into a stream of light. He avoided the head-on attack of Tenglong Jiao and appeared in its belly.
The Dusk Sword appeared out of thin air, carrying with it a sharp and fused sword intent, and pierced straight into the Tenglong Jiao's softest part, the abdomen.
"Pfft!"
The magic sword pierced into the Tenglong Jiao's body accurately, and the integrated sword intent quickly drilled into the Tenglong Jiao's body along the wound, tearing its flesh and blood easily like a sharp blade cutting tofu.
"Ow!"
Tenglong Jiao let out a shrill scream, and its huge body twisted wildly, trying to throw Zhou Yiqiao away.
Zhou Yiqiao, however, was like a nail firmly nailed to its abdomen, constantly stirring and condensing more sword intent that poured into Tenglong Jiao's body, causing the wound to continue to expand.
Black blood gushed out from Tenglong Jiao's wound like a fountain, spilling all over the hall.
Zhou Yiqiao's figure seemed particularly small under the blood rain, but his pressure suppressed the Tenglong Jiao at this moment, as if he was a god of war, making the Tenglong Jiao unable to move at all.
"Roar......!"
The Tenglong Jiao kept howling in pain and struggling violently. Its originally extremely strong scales shattered one after another and fell to the ground like iron rain, revealing the bloody flesh beneath the scales.
After a few seconds, Tenglongjiao stopped struggling. Its huge body gradually lost strength and collapsed in the hall.
Zhou Yiqiao panted heavily and sat on the ground in an ungraceful manner, swallowing a handful of elixirs to restore his depleted spiritual energy and blood.
About half an hour later, Zhou Yiqiao stood up from the ground, staring coldly at the Tenglong Jiao that had completely lost its life.
He walked to the side of Tenglong Jiao, reached out and felt around its body, and found an inner elixir the size of a fist.
“I didn’t expect that this Tenglong Jiao actually exists and is not an illusion condensed from the Xuantian Secret Realm!”
Feeling the real inner elixir in his hand, Zhou Yiqiao said with some disbelief.
Affected by the illusion of cause and effect, Zhou Yiqiao had always believed that this ancient ferocious beast, Tenglong Jiao, was an illusion condensed by the Xuantian Secret Realm, but he did not expect that it actually existed!
"That's good too. Since this Soaring Dragon Jiao does exist, it means there must be an opportunity to gain access to the Mysterious Heaven Realm in the Purple Sky Palace."
Zhou Yiqiao said in his heart, his eyes fell on a high platform in the center of the hall.
It was an altar also carved from white jade. On the altar was an ancient compass engraved with reliefs of ancient ferocious beasts. If you counted carefully, you could find that the number of ferocious beasts on the reliefs was exactly the same as what Zhou Yiqiao had seen on the bronze gate before!
Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arose in his heart, but he still walked towards the altar.
However, when he was still ten feet away from the altar, he suddenly bumped into an invisible wall, making a dull sound.
Zhou Yiqiao frowned. He stretched out his hand, touched the invisible barrier, and felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual power.
"Is there some kind of restriction here?"
Zhou Yiqiao murmured, trying to use his spiritual energy to destroy the barrier.
"Buzz!"
A huge amount of spiritual power poured into the barrier, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no reaction at all.
Zhou Yiqiao frowned, and unwillingly continued to increase his spiritual power output, but the invisible barrier remained motionless.
"What kind of restriction is this? It's so strong."
Just when he was at a loss, the Tenglong Jiao inner elixir that he had just put into the storage bag flew out uncontrollably!
Zhou Yiqiao was startled and quickly reached out to grab the inner elixir, but he was still a step too slow.
I saw that the inner elixir of the Tenglong Jiao actually hit the barrier directly, passed through the transparent restriction in front of it without any hindrance, and flew above the compass.
The next moment, something surprising happened!
Tenglong Jiao's inner elixir spontaneously ignited without fire, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire hall like daylight.
The inner elixir slowly rotated, releasing streams of pure power, which then flowed into the sea like a stream and merged into the compass.
At the same time, the Tenglong Jiao carved on the compass gradually lit up, and Tenglong Jiao's eyes slowly opened, as if it came alive!
Zhou Yiqiao was startled and quickly took a few steps back, looking at the compass vigilantly.
I saw that the power released by the inner elixir was getting weaker and weaker, while the soaring dragon on the compass was getting brighter and brighter.
Finally, a shadow appeared above the compass and circled around it like a loyal guard without making any movement.
Correspondingly, the relief of the soaring dragon on the compass lit up completely, standing out among the many reliefs of ferocious beasts!
"No way."
Seeing the scene in front of him, an absurd idea appeared in Zhou Yiqiao's mind.
"Do I have to kill all the ancient beasts on the compass and obtain their inner elixirs before I can fully activate it and come into contact with this exquisiteness?"
This is too harsh!
You know, even though he dealt with the Tenglong Jiao quickly and efficiently, only he himself knew that he had used nearly 70% of his strength just to deal with this ancient ferocious beast!
According to the status classification of the many monsters on the bronze gate, this Tenglong Jiao is just the weakest among all the monsters!
If this is true, then defeating other more powerful beasts and obtaining their inner elixirs would be an almost impossible task for Zhou Yiqiao.
Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Regardless of whether this is the only way, at least for now, I need more information."
Zhou Yiqiao said to himself, and then his eyes wandered around the hall, trying to find possible clues.
He stuck to the transparent restriction and walked slowly around the altar, trying to find a way to break the current situation.
However, things went against one's wishes. The ancient sages who left behind this Zixiao Palace did not seem to consider whether the later generations could cope with this dilemma. Apart from leaving a passage to the next palace behind the altar, there were no other clues.
Helpless, Zhou Yiqiao had to enter the passage. After walking along the pitch-black road for an incense stick of time, he once again saw the bronze door carved with many ancient ferocious beasts.
However, this time, the relief sculpture of a soaring dragon above the gate was completely lit up, as if it had been given life, emitting a faint aura of oppression.
Zhou Yiqiao stood in front of the gate, let out a sigh of helplessness, and finally accepted the fact that there was no shortcut to this opportunity.
Not only that, the road behind him also disappeared completely without him noticing, cutting off all his escape routes!
"This senior is forcing me to die if I don't succeed..."
Zhou Yiqiao shook his head, then gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to practice breathing exercises.
Since there is no other way except to pass the level, he can only try his best!
After swallowing a large amount of elixir, Zhou Yiqiao's body's deficiency was quickly replenished. He spent another half an hour adjusting his mental state to the most perfect state. He stood up again, got into a stance, and prepared to bombard the bronze gate in front of him.
"I hope this senior can be a little considerate of the younger generation who will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years later. Let's proceed step by step, starting with the weakest monsters, and take them one by one."
Muttering something in a low voice, Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly and punched the bronze door.
The bronze door made a low echo under Zhou Yiqiao's full-strength attack, but still showed no signs of opening.
Zhou Yiqiao once again experienced the dizzy feeling. His vision went dark and he appeared in another empty palace.
The reason why this is called another palace is that the moment Zhou Yiqiao entered the palace, he felt that he had entered a hazy white mist.
"Wow!"
Two clear cries were heard. Zhou Yiqiao looked up suddenly and saw two huge white cranes rushing out of the fog.
"The rosy-colored bird!"
Zhou Yiqiao immediately recognized the identities of the two giant birds, and felt both happy and worried.
The good news is that the appearance of these two Caixia Birds shows that the senior who stayed behind in Zixiao Palace did indeed arrange the challenge order of the monsters from weak to strong.
What worried him was that the appearance of the two birds further verified his guess. If he wanted to leave the Zixiao Palace, he could only rely on his own strength to kill all the ancient beasts and obtain the compass inheritance in the center of the palace.
But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.
There was a cold light flashing in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and he made a decision in an instant. He took cloud steps and headed towards the two Caixia birds rushing towards him.
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by sharp cries, the two caixia birds spread their wings, like two extremely sharp long swords, and stabbed Zhou Yiqiao's two vital points with a corner force.
Zhou Yiqiao's body swayed, cleverly avoiding the attack of the Caixia Bird. At the same time, he flipped his right hand, and the Dusk Sword drew a graceful arc, bringing up an inky sword light, pointing directly at the wings of one of the Caixia Birds.
After her wings were cut, the severe pain made her panic.
However, Zhou Yiqiao did not give Caixia Bird any time to breathe at this time. He understood the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you!
He just roared and shook his wrist slightly. The Dusk Sword transformed into several sword lights in the air and poured down towards the injured Caixia Bird.
"Puff, puff!"
The dull sound of sword light tearing flesh and blood continued to be heard. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yiqiao had chopped off most of the body of the Caixia Bird like chopping meat, and instantly took its life.
Blood gushed out, dyeing the entire altar red. The scene was extremely tragic.
"Hey~!"
With its companion dead, the remaining Caixia Bird suddenly became furious. It spread its wings, and its body increased several times in size out of thin air, covering the sky and the sun, completely shrouding Zhou Yiqiao in shadow like a dark cloud.
As an ancient ferocious beast, Zhou Yiqiao only knew its name but not its details. Seeing such a situation, he did not dare to be negligent. He immediately mobilized all his spiritual power to protect himself. At the same time, he retreated violently, trying to keep a distance from the furious Caixia Bird.
However, before Zhou Yiqiao could react, the Caixia Bird, which had originally been keeping some distance from him, suddenly increased its speed. Its huge body swept over with a strong wind and hit him hard in the chest.
