Chapter 432: 8 Arhats

The shadows of eighteen Arhats appeared in the ring, and accompanied by the sound of Sanskrit chanting, the Five Demons were temporarily suppressed.

The true form of the old demon Qian was finally revealed. The body beneath the black robe was actually made up of countless resentful souls:

"What a great guy, Ye Lao San! It turns out that you have already understood the secret of the Demon Suppression Ring!"

Chen Yun had no time to watch the battle.

He flew out with the help of the shock wave of the explosion, and the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud swords formed a sword wheel to clear the way.

The gate of Kunwu Temple was right in front of us, and nine bloody eyes suddenly opened on the jade lintel.

This is obviously not an ordinary door, but the skull of some ancient ferocious beast!
"Boom-"

The fragment of Xutian Ding in his arms suddenly became hot, and the star map that appeared on the Ding resonated with the blood eyes on the door lintel.

Chen Yun suddenly had an idea and bit his fingertips to draw star tracks in the air.

The bloodshot eyes lit up one by one, and the roar of gears turning came from inside the door.

When the ninth blood eye opened, the breath leaking out from the crack in the door made the Silver-winged Yaksha feel terrified.

"Stop him!"

The young man surnamed Xu's eyes were filled with anger, and the Xuantian Spear in his hand flew out and turned into a stream of light.

However, it was too late.

Chen Yun's figure flashed past the crack in the door, and the magic weapons of the three demons and the human monks collided with each other in an instant, making a deafening sound.

The lion-beast's sharp claws dug into the jade door lintel, sparks flew, and there was a hint of golden light.

This material is actually the legendary "Green Blood and Golden Essence"!
The scene inside the door made Chen Yun's breathing pause.

A thousand-foot-long white jade path was suspended in the void, and each brick and stone was engraved with a symbol array that could shrink the earth into an inch. As soon as Chen Yun took a step, the surrounding space folded crazily.

When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the steps of the ancient temple.

The ninety-nine steps were all crystal white. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were made of the bones of monks. Faint mantras of rebirth floated on the steps.

The plaque hanging high above the palace gate had the words "Zhenyu" written in golden seal script, and the sound of dragon roars could be heard faintly between the strokes of the pen.

The chains on the Panlong pillars on both sides suddenly rattled.

The fragments of the Xutian Ding in Chen Yun's arms flew out on their own, and the chaotic energy that spewed out of the mouth of the cauldron condensed into a hexagram in front of the door.

"Qian three connected, Kun six broken..."

Chen Yun muttered the hexagram and took Tiangang steps.

When he took his seventh step and landed in Li position, a map of the celestial stars suddenly appeared on the ground.

The starlight gathered into a bridge, leading directly to the altar in the temple.

There was a huge bronze tripod with three legs and two ears suspended in the air, and the other end of the chain on the tripod sank into the underground abyss.

Suddenly, the lid of the tripod shook violently.

A wisp of black air seeped out, and the void collapsed wherever it passed.

Chen Yun felt the hairs on his back stand on end. This aura was actually the same as that of the ancient demon in the bloody forbidden land!

He used all of his Golden Thunder Bamboo magic weapons without hesitation, but the moment he raised his hands, he found that his knuckles were covered with magic patterns.

"clang--"

The fragments of the Xu Tian Ding suddenly hit the bronze bell in the hall, and the clear and melodious bell sound dispelled the evil spirit around.

Chen Yun seized the opportunity and bit his tongue, mixing his essence and blood with the evil-repelling divine lightning to form an electric net that surrounded his body.

An unwilling roar came from the abyss, and nine new black iron chains broke out of the ground, pulling the giant tripod back to the earth veins.

When the evil spirit temporarily subsided, Chen Yun discovered that there were seven ancient bronze lamps scattered around the altar.

The lamp oil had long dried up, but the Taotie pattern on the lamp base was exactly the same as that on the Xutian Ding.

When he got closer, something suddenly flew out of his arms.

It turned out to be the broken formation plate obtained in the Chaos Star Sea that year!
The array plate was suspended in the center of the seven ancient lamps, and the missing part corresponded exactly to the Big Dipper.

Chen Yun had a flash of inspiration and arranged the seventy-two flying swords according to the Zhoutian constellations.

The moment the sword light was injected into the formation plate, a vast star map appeared on the roof of the hall, and a beam of light enveloped the giant bronze tripod.

"Bold youngster!"

Suddenly, the roar of the old demon Qian was heard outside the hall.

The five demons actually merged into a hundred-foot-tall giant demon, and forcefully broke open the jade door.

However, it was too late. The giant tripod in the light column quickly shrank and turned into a stream of light that disappeared into Chen Yun's sleeve.

The entire Kunwu Palace began to collapse, and a roar from the depths of the Netherworld could be heard from the earth veins...

The moment Chen Yun stepped into the gate of Kunwu Temple, a layer of faint blue light suddenly appeared on the white stone road under his feet.

The light flowed over the soles of his boots like water, and before he could react, an invisible and huge force pressed in from all directions.

His bones were creaking as if he was being pressed down by multiple mountains at the same time. His knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

The protective aura burst out under stress, and the green light shield barely expanded the three-foot space around it.

But then a crisp "crack" sound was heard, and spider-web-like fine cracks appeared on the surface of the light shield.

"This restriction... can actually ignore divine sense detection!"

Chen Yun clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his neck.

He forced himself to summon up his magic power, and the Mingwang Jue in his body began to circulate frantically, and golden Sanskrit words faintly appeared under his skin.

These runes moved like living things, suppressing the groans of muscles and bones.

However, the pressure seemed endless. Every time he tried to straighten up, the pressure suddenly increased several times and pushed him back to where he was.

In the distance, the outline of Kunwu Temple was faintly visible in the mist, and the bronze bells hanging on the eaves moved without wind, making an ethereal but heart-pounding sound.

Chen Yun's pupils shrank slightly. The surface of those bells was engraved with dense tadpole runes, which were very similar to the ancient inscriptions he had seen in Xutian Palace.

At the foot of the Immortal Mountain, the skeleton incarnation of Demon Qian and the square-faced monk of the Ye family were confronting each other.

The giant formed by five white shadows towered into the clouds, and his every move brought up gusts of fishy wind.

The huge bracelet floating above the square-faced monk's head transformed into thousands of golden rings, which firmly locked the bronze lion puppet that was rushing towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's Mitian bracelet is indeed exquisite. It can even trap the Ten Directions Bronze Puppet."

The voice of the old demon Qian came from the giant's abdomen, with a harsh laugh like the friction between metal and stone:
"It's a pity that this imitation magic treasure is ultimately not as good as the real Yingyue Ring."

The square-faced monk sneered, and bloody talismans suddenly shot out from his fingertips.

The moment the talisman sank into the Mitian bracelet, the golden ring suddenly expanded three times, and it actually strangled the bronze lion's limbs to produce sparks:

"Brother Qian's skeleton incarnation has become more and more exquisite. He can even transform the Soul Devouring Python vividly. But..."

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the mountain gate, saying in a playful tone, "If we delay any longer, I'm afraid someone will break through the restrictions of Kunwu Palace first."

Before he finished speaking, the silver-winged Yaksha among the three demons suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, two rays of light emitting from its emerald green pupils.

When the light swept across the mountain gate's restrictions, the originally transparent light curtain actually revealed dense silver threads.

Each silk thread connects the giant yellow trees on both sides of the mountain path.

“So these ancient trees were used to set up the formation.”

The young man surnamed Xu narrowed his eyes, and the jade pendant on his waist suddenly glowed with blood. "Since you all have your own ideas, why not break this restriction first!"

Chen Yun, who was standing at the mountain gate, was now sweating through his heavy shirt.

He noticed that whenever there was a roar at the foot of the mountain, the pressure on his body would be slightly reduced. Taking advantage of this momentary gap, he raised his right hand with difficulty, and three brilliant green lightning beads appeared in his palm.

It was the "Yi Mu Zheng Lei" that was refined in the Chaos Star Sea that year.

"go with!"

He let out a low roar, and lightning beads shot in a triangular shape towards the giant tree on the left.

At the moment the electric arc exploded, the scorched yellow bark on the surface of the tree trunk peeled off, revealing the crystal clear jade-like wood inside.

There was a light golden liquid flowing in the wood, and every drop contained heart-pounding spiritual power.

Chen Yun's spiritual sense was as sharp as a knife, following the flow of the liquid to trace its source, and finally found a fist-sized crystal core three feet underground.

The surface of the crystal core is covered with natural Taoist patterns, which are absorbing and exhaling the energy of the earth veins with some mysterious rhythm.

"He is actually a natural formation master!"

His heart was shaken. This kind of naturally formed formation was the most difficult to deal with, because it had no traces of artificial carving, and all the spiritual energy flowing was in line with the principles of heaven and earth.

No wonder the previous divine sense exploration found nothing.

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar at the foot of the mountain.

The giant bone python controlled by the old demon Qian and the golden ring of the Mitian bracelet collided with one place on the light curtain.

The emerald green light released by the Silver-Winged Yaksha pierced into the crack precisely.

The forbidden light curtain instantly shattered into pieces like glass, and the pressure on Chen Yun also suddenly dissipated.

"This is the moment!"

Chen Yun's eyes shone brightly. He slammed his hands on the ground and used the recoil force to soar into the sky.

The golden thunder around his body intertwined into a net, crushing all the remaining fragments of the restriction into pieces.

However, just as he was about to touch the steps of Kunwu Palace, an accident suddenly happened!
The two stone statues in front of the hall suddenly opened their eyes.

The stone statue on the left opened its mouth and spewed out the Nine Nether Mysterious Fire, while the stone statue on the right had Taiyin True Water appearing in its palm.

The fusion of ice and fire formed a Tai Chi pattern, which cut the entire space into pieces.

Seeing this, the people at the foot of the mountain could no longer hold back.

The huge white figure of Demon Qian suddenly split into thousands of bone spurs, shooting towards the temple gate like a rainstorm.

The huge bracelet in the hands of the Ye family cultivator turned into a golden rainbow light hundreds of feet long, heading straight for Chen Yun's back.

The Silver-Winged Yaksha spread its wings and actually created a spatial crack in the void.

The young man surnamed Xu even offered up a blood-red banner, and countless wronged souls howled and rushed towards the Tai Chi pattern formed by the interweaving of ice and fire.

In this mysterious world of immortals and heroes, Chen Yun is in danger and is attacked from all sides.

However, his expression was grim, and there was a meaningful sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a delicate small bronze tripod flew out from his sleeve.

If you look closely, you will find that the inscription on the tripod is exactly the same as the inscription on the magic weapon held in the hands of the stone statue in front of the temple.

At this moment, the mysterious and profound Tai Chi of ice and fire seemed to sense the unique aura of the small tripod and actually took the initiative to open a tiny gap.

"It's really you!"

The young man surnamed Xu opened his eyes wide and shouted sternly.

It turned out that this small bronze tripod was actually the Void Tripod that was stolen from the Tianlan Temple.

As he roared, the blood-colored banner suddenly expanded and instantly turned into a blood cloud that covered the sky.

Countless ghost hands stretched out from the blood cloud, as if to devour Chen Yun.

Chen Yunduan sat still, without even turning his head. He just tapped lightly on the Void Cauldron with his fingertips.

In an instant, seven bright star rays flew out of the cauldron and quickly transformed into the Big Dipper formation, pinning the surging blood cloud firmly in the air.

Taking this opportunity to catch his breath, Chen Yun flashed and disappeared into the gap of the palace door, while his voice came from afar:

"If you want to obtain treasures, you may as well rely on your own abilities."

Before the voice faded away, the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes croaking were suddenly heard in the hall.

Then, nine brilliant rays of light shot up into the sky, interweaving in mid-air.

"Kunwu" two ancient seal characters.

In an instant, the entire mountain began to tremble violently. The roots of those scorched yellow giant trees broke out of the ground and turned into eighteen wooden dragons circling the mountain.

When the people at the foot of the mountain saw this, their faces suddenly changed drastically.

They finally understood that the so-called restrictions were just the outermost test of Kunwu Palace.

And this true murderous intent only revealed its true face at this moment...

Deep in the stone forest, Madam Mu lightly touched the patterns on the stone pillars with her fingertips.

The natural ravines meandered like snakes under her palms, faintly revealing traces of the flow of spiritual energy.

Half a step behind her, the young junior sister was holding tightly an emerald green jade talisman with a three-petal lotus pattern engraved on it, soaked with cold sweat.

"Senior Sister, it turns out that the Five Heart Demons of Demon Qian can cooperate so well with the Sky-Splitting Technique of Silver-Winged Yaksha..."

Before the junior sister finished her words, a ball of blazing white light suddenly exploded from the mountain gate in the distance.

The giant bone python and its silver wing blades intertwined into a spiral storm, tearing a three-meter-wide crack in the forbidden light curtain.

The moment countless silver threads broke, the entire Kunwu Mountain emitted a low humming sound.

Madam Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she clearly saw the broken silver threads turning into fluorescent dots that seeped into the scorched yellow giant trees on both sides.

The golden liquid under the bark suddenly boiled, forming hideous veins on the surface of the trunk.

"It's going to change."

She pinched her fingers and tapped her junior sister's brow, and the two of them instantly became blurred and merged into the texture of the stone pillar.

Almost at the same time, a green light swept through where they were hiding, and stone chips flew everywhere.

"It's the pupil light of the lion beast that can break delusion!"

Junior Sister's soul was shaken, and her voice was trembling, "Did they find us?"

Madam Mu raised the corner of her lips with a slight sneer, her movements were graceful and neat, and something magical seemed to slide out from her sleeves, and a bronze bell suddenly appeared.

The body of the bell was covered with copper rust, giving it a sense of antiquity and age, but when she slowly injected her magic power into it.

Strange blood-colored lines appeared on Ling's body, as if it contained endless mysterious power.

Her eyes suddenly turned, staring closely at the junior sister beside her, and said coldly:
"The 'Tongchen Jue' of the Huaxian Sect is extremely profound. Even high-level cultivators at the Huashen realm find it difficult to decipher the secrets, let alone these inferior beasts."

Then, she changed the subject, with a hint of scrutiny and questioning in her voice:
"You just mentioned that you can cast a spell by obtaining the old demon's blood. Do you know what kind of spell is needed?"

When the young woman heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found a treasure, and she hurriedly took out a jade box from her storage bracelet.

When the lid of the jade box was slowly opened, a fishy and sweet smell of blood spread out, making people feel sick.

Everyone looked closely and saw half of a black finger bone in the jade box. The young woman explained:

"This is the thumb that was cut off by our sect's predecessor during a fierce battle with the Five Demons three hundred years ago. Although it has been baptized by time and its spiritual power has dissipated, its bloodline mark still remains."

When Mrs. Mu heard this, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes, and her slender fingertips gently touched the broken finger bone.

In an instant, a wisp of gray gas climbed up along her nails, slowly condensed in the air, and finally turned into a skeleton shadow about an inch high.

The lifelike skeleton suddenly opened its jaws and let out a silent scream. In an instant, a cold wind blew through the stone forest, and the chill was chilling. (End of this chapter)
