Chapter 550: Iron Pillars on the Bottom of the Sea
The body of the Earth Fire Qilin was huge. When the wings on its back were spread out, it was seventy feet long. It burned with destructive flames and seemed to turn the sea water into magma.
"Chichi!"
The Xujie warriors and the Red Cloud Python Jiao who had no time to escape were caught up by the Earth Fire Kirin. Without even a scream, their bodies burned and turned into ashes in an instant.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen was also caught up by the Earth Fire Qilin, getting closer and closer, and was about to be caught by the Earth Fire Qilin's claws.
Zhang Ruochen touched his finger on the storage ring, took out the imperial edict given to him by the old man Xuanji, and held it in his hand.
"Wow!"
Mobilize the true energy and inject the imperial edict.
From the imperial edict, wisps of white holy energy immediately emitted, flowing around Zhang Ruochen, condensing into the shadow of old man Xuanji, and emitting a huge amount of holy energy.
The shadow of old man Xuanji was three feet high, shining with white light, overlapping with Zhang Ruochen's body.
Seeing the shadow of old man Xuanji, Earth Fire Qilin felt a powerful aura fluctuation, paused slightly, and showed a fearful expression.
Once the imperial edict comes out, it is like the presence of a saint in person, which is enough to intimidate the world and force all living beings to kneel down and worship.
However, each imperial edict represents a different power.
In order for the old man Xuanji to train Zhang Ruochen, this imperial edict only contains the power of speed. If he encounters an irresistible danger, Zhang Ruochen can immediately escape thousands of miles away as long as he injects his true energy into the edict.
Of course, if Old Man Xuanji is willing, he can also give Zhang Ruochen an imperial edict that carries the power of the saint. However, that will only do harm to Zhang Ruochen, without any benefit.
Once people have powerful external forces, will they still work hard to cultivate?
"Wow!"
With the holy energy of the imperial edict on his body, Zhang Ruochen turned into a white light and rushed towards the bottom of the trench, instantly escaping the attack of the earth-fire unicorn.
The next moment, Zhang Ruochen reached the bottom of the trench ahead of King Wusui Jiao and Monk Lidi, and landed on a layer of hard seabed stone slabs.
Logically speaking, the temperature at the bottom of the sea should be very low.
However, the sea water at the bottom of the Blood Spring Trench is quite hot. Standing in the water is like standing in a boiling oil pan. Only monks who have practiced the second transformation of fish and dragon and reached the state of "refining skin into gold" can resist
Such a temperature.
Huang Shenyi was probably able to come here with the help of some kind of treasure in the first place.
According to Zhang Ruochen's instructions, Huang Yanchen, Ao Xinyan, and Orange Moon Star Envoy had all reached the bottom of the trench first, so they did not die under the flames of the Earth Fire Kirin.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen flying down, they immediately rushed over and gathered with Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Have you found the Xuanwu inheritance place?"
Huang Yanchen looked very serious and said: "We are now on the back of Xuanwu's corpse."
Just now, Zhang Ruochen was too busy running for his life to observe the environment at the bottom of the sea. After hearing Huang Yanchen's words, he looked around carefully.
I saw not far away, an iron pillar with a diameter of three feet stood, like a needle that fixed the sea, inserted into the stone layer of the seabed, standing hundreds of feet high.
Such a huge iron pillar, I don’t know how many thousands of kilograms it weighs?
The iron pillar has been soaked in water for who knows how many years, and its surface has long been stained with rust.
Through the rust, you can see that there are eerie and strange patterns printed on the iron pillars. Some of the patterns are like bones, some are like ghosts, and some are like evil flowers.
Zhang Ruochen walked over, and as soon as his fingers touched the iron pillar, a powerful force of death immediately entered his body through his fingers.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's mind resounded with the cries of hundreds of millions of evil spirits, and bloody scenes emerged one after another. The power of countless evil spirits, like a ball of black ink, began to corrode his martial soul.
At this moment, the marks of the gods lit up on the wall of Zhang Ruochen's Qi Sea, just like light breaking through the darkness, expelling a monstrous evil energy from his body.
As if being electrocuted, Zhang Ruochen immediately retracted his fingers, took two steps back, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "What a terrible evil spirit of death. Fortunately, it has the marks of the gods. Otherwise, I might have become an unconscious body."
monster."
Just now, Zhang Ruochen felt like he was being pulled into an evil world by this iron pillar.
There, there was a huge white bone creature as big as a mountain, and a blood-red eye flying in the sky. From the abyss underground, black ghosts flew out one after another and turned into a black ghost cloud.
That world is like the legendary hell.
Huang Yanchen's eyes showed confusion, and he walked to Tiezhu's side without realizing it, and slowly stretched out his hand.
"Don't touch it, it's an evil weapon."
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Huang Yanchen's wrist and led her away from Tiezhu.
Huang Yanchen immediately came back to his senses, his eyes became bright again, and he said with lingering fear: "That iron pillar can actually affect my mind. What on earth is it?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head gently.
"Chichi!"
Xiao Hei stretched out his claws and scratched the iron pillar, scraping away the rust, revealing three golden marks.
It was not affected by that evil force at all, and said: "This is a war weapon." Then, he added, "It doesn't seem to come from the Kunlun realm."
"Why not from the Kunlun Realm?" Orange Moon Star Envoy asked.
Xiao Hei stared at the Orange Moon Star Envoy and said unhurriedly: "Because the forging techniques are different. The soldiers of Kunlun Realm are based on inscriptions. However, there is no such thing in this iron pillar.
Inscription pattern is another forging technique."
Xiao Hei pressed his claws on the iron pillar and mobilized all his strength to pull out the iron pillar.
However, no matter how much force it exerts, the iron pillar never moves.
"Good guy, I'm afraid even a half-saint might not be able to pick it up." Xiao Hei retracted his claws, took two steps back, and took two quick breaths.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ruochen channeled his true energy to his legs and stepped down with one foot, causing the thick stone layer to crack.
The stones fell one after another, and Xuanwu's back shell was finally exposed from inside the stone layer.
Xuanwu's body is very huge. Just its back shell is tens of miles in size. If it stood on the ground, it would be a big mountain.
When all the stone layers outside Xuanwu's body cracked, everyone saw that the iron pillar actually penetrated Xuanwu's body from the back, nailing Xuanwu to the bottom of the trench.
The blood springs in the Blood Spring Trench are actually the blood flowing from Xuanwu's body, dyeing the seawater for hundreds of miles red.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them and were speechless for a long time.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said: "It is indeed not the pure-blooded Xuanwu of ancient mythical beasts, but the 'Qinghuo Xuanwu', a descendant of Xuanwu. However, given the size of its body and the aura emanating from it, if it still
I'm afraid I can tear the saints into pieces while I'm alive."
"What kind of person is such a powerful Qinghuo Xuanwu that can kill it?"
Little****: "It should be the owner of that iron pillar."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Xuanwu's back is the place with the strongest defense. That iron pillar can penetrate Xuanwu's body from the back. So, how powerful is the owner of the iron pillar?"
"You just said that the iron pillar casting method is completely different from the Kunlun world's weapon refining method. However, as far as I know, the weapon refining methods of the major Xu worlds are very similar to the Kunlun world, and there is not much difference.
"
"So, which ruin realm does the owner of Iron Pillar come from?"
"The master of Iron Pillar, who can kill this Qinghuo Xuanwu, is definitely a terrifying powerhouse. Apart from the Kunlun Realm, even the upper-level Ruins Realm, it would be difficult to give birth to such a strong man, right?
"
Zhang Ruochen had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that the evil world that appeared in his mind might actually exist. The owner of this iron pillar might come from there.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that in this vast universe, there is actually a big world as powerful as the Kunlun Realm? Even, it is not certain, that world is even more powerful and terrifying than the Kunlun Realm.
Because the monks from that world have arrived around the Kunlun Realm. However, the monks from the Kunlun Realm have not yet been able to discover the location of their world.
In an instant, countless thoughts appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind. The more he thought about it, the more boundless fear he felt. His body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
"It should just be my random imagination. There are so many ruin realms around the Kunlun realm. It is normal for an evil little world to be born."
"I don't know how many years this Xuanwu has been dead. If there really was a big world more powerful than the Kunlun Realm, I'm afraid it would have already begun to invade the Kunlun Realm on a large scale. It's impossible that we haven't seen them yet.
Traces of.”
Zhang Ruochen tried hard to convince himself to calm down.
Before Zhang Ruochen could think any more, a fire broke out above his head, making the sea water extremely hot.
The Earth Fire Qilin chased King Wu Skeleton Jiao and the Li Di Monk and rushed downwards.
Feeling the huge power coming from above, Huang Yanchen, Ao Xinyan, and Orange Moon Star Envoy all changed their expressions, almost kneeling on the ground as if they were suppressed by the Nine Layers of Mountains.
The power of the semi-saint level is not something they can withstand.
"Let's go, hide in Xuanwu's body first." Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen could sense that Xuanwu's inheritance was inside Xuanwu's body.
If you want to enter Xuanwu's body, there are only two entrances, and that is Xuanwu's eyes.
Xuanwu's eyeballs have long been corroded, leaving only two black eye holes more than ten feet high, leading to the inside of the body. They are so deep that the bottom cannot be seen.
Wisps of Xuanwu Qi, like colorful waterfalls, gush out from the eyes, merge into the sea water, and disappear.
Standing with Xuanwu's left eye, Zhang Ruochen glanced down and saw that the iron pillar penetrated Xuanwu's body, rushed out from the abdomen, and plunged into the underground magma.
Under Xuanwu's body was a boiling lake of red magma. One after another, the red beasts seemed to have received some kind of induction, rushing out of the magma and attacking Zhang Ruochen and others.
