Chapter 1539: The Third Floor of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda
Following Gu Lianhun's instructions, after determining their position, everyone immediately cast a series of spells towards the stone pillars in front of them.
Pure magic power was injected into the stone pillars. All seventy-two stone pillars glowed with spiritual light. A cold and gloomy air spread out, and a layer of ice crystals instantly condensed on the ground.
"Swish, swish, swish~~~" As the spiritual light flickered, the entire hall became bright and dark.
Between light and darkness, the surrounding scenery kept changing. Everyone was surprised to see a green mist flashing from the surroundings and gathering towards the center.
Seeing the emerald green mist, everyone showed a look of horror. They were not unfamiliar with the emerald green mist. It was the innate deep cold qi.
"Don't be distracted. Inject all your magic power into the stone pillar. We must break the formation before the innate deep cold energy gathers. Otherwise, we will surely die." Gu Lianhun said at this time.
Upon hearing this, everyone regained their composure, but Xin Xingzi, Feng Gu and the others all cursed Gu Lianhun in their hearts, for he had not told them that the innate deep cold Qi would reappear when the formation was broken. If they could not break the formation in time, their lives would really be lost here.
But they also knew that now was not the time to complain, so they put aside their original little thoughts and tried their best to mobilize their magic power and inject it into the stone pillars.
"Buzz buzz buzz~~~" A fist-sized ball of green light appeared in the center of the nine stone pillars that were infused with magic power, and the green light continued to rotate and grow.
Looking at the green ball of light, everyone showed solemn expressions, especially Xin Xingzi, Feng Gu and the two men in black robes. They had now understood that Gu Lianhun wanted to use the green ball of light to blow up the nine stone pillars in order to break the formation.
But there was no way to solve the problem even though he understood it. At the moment, he could only break the formation. Otherwise, no one would be able to resist the innate deep cold energy that was spreading.
"Broken~~~"
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Lianhun suddenly shouted loudly, and the other eight people, as if receiving an order, madly poured out the magic power in their bodies through their hands and shot it onto the stone pillar in front of them.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
The ball of light on the stone pillar suddenly exploded and turned into a green halo that spread out in circles.
A green light flashed in front of Xin Xingzi, and a huge silkworm-like poisonous insect appeared. The insect opened its mouth wide and emitted an amazing suction force, swallowing the green light into its stomach.
Then the insect's entire body began to freeze, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an ice sculpture of the insect, and then fell to the ground and shattered.
Xin Xingzi was not stingy with the magic-devouring insect. He clapped his hands and showed a happy expression. However, his two followers were not so lucky. Under the burst of green light, they both sacrificed two magic defense artifacts at the same time.
Unfortunately, under the outbreak of the cold wave containing the innate deep cold energy, it shattered instantly, and the two of them turned into two ice sculptures standing in the same place.
In comparison, it was much easier for Gu Lianhun. Nine Wan Qian Golden Flame Lanterns simultaneously burst out with layers of golden light, protecting Gu Lianhun. No matter how many waves of cold currents came at him, he remained unmoved.
Feng Gu also sacrificed a gray mirror. The mirror swelled in the wind and instantly grew to a size of several feet, blocking her in front of her. Waves of green cold waves rushed into the mirror and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a mirror appeared from more than ten feet away. The surging green cold wave rushed out from this mirror and then rushed onto several stone pillars not far away. Those stone pillars instantly condensed into several unusually thick ice pillars.
Seeing this scene, Gu Lianhun was also slightly stunned, and shouted in surprise: "The Shining Swallowing Sea Mirror?"
Gu Lianhun seemed to know the origin of the Shining Sea-Swallowing Mirror, but his surprised expression only flashed for a moment.
As for Bai Xingge beside Gu Lianhun, he had no worries at all. When the cold wave exploded and rushed towards Bai Xingge, a large amount of golden-red light immediately burst out from Bai Xingge's body. An extremely hot force burst out from his body, and waves surged forward, colliding with the oncoming green cold wave.
Under the impact of the two forces, one cold and one hot, they actually annihilated each other.
The two black-robed men from the Demon Guardians each displayed a strange magical power. One of them waved his sleeves, and the large amount of green cold air rushed into his sleeves and disappeared without a trace.
The other person pinched the magic spell with both hands, and a huge black vortex slowly appeared in front of him. The green cold wave rushed into it, and actually turned slightly, changed direction, and shot onto several stone pillars around.
What surprised Gu Lianhun and Bai Xingge was that Feng Gu's follower actually avoided the attack of the green cold wave. At the moment when the green cold wave burst out, he opened his sandalwood mouth and actually spurted out a small golden bell. The small bell shook slightly, and actually flashed directly above his head, grew to a size of about ten feet, and suddenly fell down, covering them.
There is no doubt that although this small bell is a magical weapon, it was directly frozen under the green cold wave. The extreme coldness directly froze the small bell, and with a "bang", it shattered to the ground.
The face of Feng Gu's follower was pale. Although a little bit of the cold air that passed through the small bell invaded his body, at least he saved his life. The blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth also proved that the small bell magic weapon he had just used must be his natal magic weapon that he had painstakingly refined for many years.
This scene also made Bai Xingge's heart sink, and he felt a little scared. If it weren't for the True Yang Talisman given to him by Gu Lianhun, he would have died like Xin Xingzi's two followers.
This also indirectly illustrates the terrifying power of the green cold wave, which is so terrifying that even the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage cannot resist it.
"Ahh~~"
Just when everyone was trying to find the entrance to the third floor, two sharp screams were heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two gray-robed monks who were directly frozen under the remaining green cold wave. It was obvious that the two had just entered the second floor and had unexpectedly run into the cold wave. Their deaths were really unfair.
"Look, where is the entrance to the third floor?" Xin Xingzi saw at a glance that a green vortex had appeared above the altar at some point, which was obviously the entrance to the third floor.
"Come on."
The few of them did not hesitate any more and drove their escape lights towards the entrance to the third floor. The two men in black robes took the brunt and entered the vortex first. Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu followed closely behind the two men in black robes, one in front and one behind. Bai Xingge was secretly pulled by Gu Lianhun and fell behind by half a step and entered the vortex together with Gu Lianhun. As for Feng Gu's follower, after thinking for a moment, he actually stopped, with a hesitant expression on his face, and did not choose to enter the vortex.
As soon as Gu Lianhun and Bai Xingge entered the vortex, they felt the world spinning around them, but soon they appeared in a dark space. There was nothing here, only void, but in the center of this void, there was a ball of colorful light flashing.
Within the precious light, one could vaguely see a light yellow rock several feet in size. Above the rock were seven flashing balls of light, which expanded and contracted, creating thousands of streams of light that illuminated the entire void.
"Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone?" Xin Xingzi showed a greedy expression when he saw the seven balls of precious light on the stone. He waved his sleeves and flew towards the precious light. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, which turned into a giant hand of demonic light that was a hundred feet in size. He grabbed towards the rock. He actually wanted to take the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone and the treasures on it for himself.
"Xin Xingzi, do you want to keep it all for yourself?" Feng Gu opened her mouth and a green bead shot out into the sky. It appeared in front of Xin Xingzi and began to grow bigger. With the sound of rolling waves, it turned into a large area of water in front of it, blocking Xin Xingzi's way.
The giant hand of magic light transformed by Xin Xingzi also grabbed the water, but it was like sticking his hand into mud and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Haihuazhu? I didn't expect that you could actually refine this sixth-rank immortal treasure?" Xin Xingzi frowned slightly, his flying body stopped, and he turned to look at Feng Gu who was more than ten feet away.
"Do you really want to go against me, Xin?" Xin Xingzi's face turned green, looking very strange and ferocious. This was because he had swallowed countless poisonous insects into his body, and in his anger, the poisonous insects in his body reacted.
Feng Gu was frightened by Xin Xingzi's appearance. Although she had heard of this eldest disciple of the Green Robe Saint for a long time and knew that he had a fierce reputation, she was caught off guard and frightened by his aura, but she quickly calmed down.
"Xin Xingzi, there are seven treasures on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone. Do you want to keep them all for yourself?"
"When did I ever say I would keep it all for myself?" Xin Xingzi was about to speak, but when he saw Gu Lianhun and Bai Xingge coming after them, he immediately swallowed the words and changed the subject.
"Xin Xingzi, your actions just now clearly showed that you wanted to take the treasure for yourself. Don't you dare to say that it wasn't true?"
"Hehe, the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous. Even if I want to keep it all for myself, it's no big deal. But if we fight to the death to seize the treasure, wouldn't it be a bargain for those ants outside? How about this, the three of us share the treasure on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone?"
Xin Xingzi obviously did not count Bai Xingge as one of the contributors. Feng Gu looked thoughtful when she heard this, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Where are those two men in black robes?" Gu Lianhun suddenly asked.
"Why do we care about them? Since they are not here, isn't it just right? We can get more." Xin Xingzi said. Obviously, he had discovered that the two men in black robes were missing, but his goal was the treasures within the three floors. The absence of the two men was a happy thing for him.
Gu Lianhun's face was solemn and he looked around, as if he was looking for the two men in black robes.
"Old Master, it seems that Xiao Lin is not in the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. Could it be that he really met with an accident?" Bai Xingge did not focus his attention on the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone, but found that Xiao Lin was not on the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. He was immediately shocked and asked worriedly.
Gu Lianhun was also puzzled. When the innate deep cold qi erupted, Xiao Lin forcibly activated the rules of space and sent himself out. In a sense, he still owed Xiao Lin a life. Under the innate deep cold qi, once he was frozen, although he could resist for a period of time, he would eventually end up with his years of cultivation coming to nothing. But he later figured it out. The innate deep cold qi was a force that could only exist in the universe, and even in such a secret realm, it would not erupt again. The most important thing was that he thought that Xiao Lin had not come out yet, so he had to go and explore it anyway.
After meeting Bai Xingge, he heard from Gu Lianhun what happened before. Bai Xingge also showed anxiety. After some discussion, the two entered the ice field again and searched the ice field several times. After discovering that Xiao Lin was not frozen, they were slightly relieved, so they entered the hall a step late, but they did not find any trace of Xiao Lin in the hall.
At this moment, they have entered the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower. There is nothingness all around. Even Gu Lianhun was surprised to find that his spiritual sense could no longer advance after extending a hundred feet. It seems that the internal space of the Demon-Suppressing Tower has the ability to block the spiritual sense of cultivators.
"Xiao Linji is a man of destiny, so he should be fine. I am worried about the two black-robed demons from the Demon Guardians. The Demon Suppression Pagoda suppresses a demon soul left behind during the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. If the two Demon Guardians take control of the Demon Suppression Pagoda and release the demon soul, it will be very bad."
"Does Gu Gu know the method to control this Demon-Suppressing Pagoda?" Bai Xingge's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly through voice transmission.
"Although the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda is a treasure of the ancient human race, it is too long ago. I have only seen a few words about this treasure in some ancient books. As for how to control it, or even refine it, I don't know."
Gu Lianhun suddenly pinched his spiritual fingers and muttered something. The next moment, he stomped his right foot on the void. With him as the center, a large area of golden light spread out. As the golden light extended, Bai Xingge, Xin Xingzi and Feng Gu all saw a scene that shocked them.
It turned out that underneath the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone, under the shining golden light, a huge piece of black ice appeared. A set of black armor could be vaguely seen inside the black ice.
The entire body of the armor exuded a dark demonic aura that covered a large area of the void. Only then did they realize that the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was not a void space, but the sealed black armor. The demonic aura it emitted was so dense that it actually covered the hall several feet high.
"Real demonic energy?" Gu Lianhun exclaimed, and at the same time shouted angrily, his body turned into a golden light and shot towards the bottom of the Seven Treasures Demon-Suppressing Stone.
It turned out that the two black-robed men from the Demon Guardians were on both sides of the black ice that sealed the black armor. They stretched out their palms and placed them on the huge black ice. At this moment, the black ice was covered with dense cracks. At the same time, the black armor inside the black ice seemed to have spirituality, bursting out a large amount of black true demonic energy, which accelerated the collapse of the black ice.
It was the faint sound made by the collapse and shattering of the black ice that alarmed Gu Lianhun.
