Chapter 399: Preparing to go to the fifth layer
The fourth floor of the Ice Palace, the security zone.
"It's really unlucky, the ice beast lair that our team has been preparing for many days has been preempted!"
The leader of the squad cursed, he was the peak cultivator of the early stage of the Emperor Martial Realm, and he was a ten-person squad, all of whom were from the same sect, and had the ability to eradicate an ice beast's lair.
"Impossible, isn't it? In the lair of the ice beast you fancied, there are more than a hundred Xuanbing Dragon Beasts, and that leader is equivalent to a peak martial artist in the middle of the Emperor Martial Realm, with such strength, why do you still stay in the fourth layer of this Ice Palace?"
Several surrounding martial artists said that it was impossible, and the teams that could exterminate such an ice monster's lair all went to the fifth layer of the Ice Palace.
Even this Wuji squad just now, who was also constantly accumulating Demon Yuan Crystals, exchanged a powerful attack talisman seal stone from the mysterious merchant.
This kind of rune array sealing stone is a supreme powerhouse that seals different levels of attack rune arrays in a carrier, and this carrier is called a rune stone.
Once triggered, it can automatically release the attack rune array sealed in it, which can restore the attack of the rune array itself, even if it is a low-level martial artist, it is possible to use the power of this attack rune array to kill a martial artist who is much higher than his realm.
"Could it be that the man also exchanged a sealing rune stone from the mysterious merchant?"
Everyone had such doubts in their hearts, and they secretly felt sorry for the Infinity Squad.
The ice beasts in the marginal places have been killed countless times, and it is impossible to show some rare items again, such as the Xuanbing Stone, if it can be sold to some refiners, it will be able to earn more than 10,000 magic yuan crystals in an instant.
Because the Xuanbing Stone is an excellent refining material, in addition to hunting ice beasts, even under the ice field. It is also extremely difficult to obtain.
"That's, someone crossed?"
One of them suddenly pointed to the thunderclouds surging in the sky and exclaimed.
When the others heard this, they all followed his gaze, and endless lead-colored thunderclouds were rapidly converging towards one place, forming a terrifying coercion as if they were about to burst the sky.
"Could it be that this is a powerhouse in the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm who is crossing the tribulation?"
This huge momentum made everyone guess in their hearts, and most of them were powerhouses in the early stage of the Emperor Martial Realm. The thunderstorm experienced is more than this in case.
Even the tribulation that the sect elders had crossed was not so terrifying.
Everyone probed in the direction of the thunderclouds to see who was in the crossing.
"Could this be the peerless powerhouse in the Money Chamber of Commerce?"
Several people had such a doubt in their hearts at the same time, and they released their divine senses one after another, and probed in the direction where the thunderclouds converged.
This kind of thunder tribulation can only be triggered by the strong people in the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm, and if you can observe the whole process, then you will definitely benefit a lot.
Unexpectedly, the divine consciousness popped out. When he was about to approach the center of the Thunder Tribulation, he was blocked by a defensive wall.
"What is this?"
Everyone was stunned in their hearts, and they didn't understand why there was a barrier in the void, which was absolutely not something before.
"Could it be that a thunder-based treasure was born?"
There is such a doubt in everyone's hearts, after all, if the strong cross the catastrophe, it is too late to deal with the thunder tribulation, who has the spare strength to arrange an enchantment to prevent others from peeping?
"Qiankun Infinite Sword!"
"Dayan Divine Sword!"
"Great Sun Flame Wheel!"
Everyone is using their own stunts. One after another, the attacking techniques bombarded towards the Void Barrier.
Bang!
All the swords and swords hit the enchantment together, setting off ripples one after another. But there is no sign of breaking it.
"Could this be the power of the enchantment automatically released by the Strange Treasure?"
Such a thought rose in everyone's hearts, because if they wanted to resist everyone's joint attack, then there was no possibility for the peak martial artists in the middle of the Emperor Martial Realm.
The captain of the Infinity Squad gritted his teeth slightly, took out the rune stone, threw it towards the barrier, and then used his divine sense to activate it.
Moment. A scorching sun was like a wheel, blooming with terrifying heat, as if even the void was scorched and twisted.
"Great Day Mantra!"
Someone recognized the attack rune array sealed in this rune stone and exclaimed loudly.
The people around were all looking forward to it, and what was sealed in this rune stone was the Great Sun Holy Mantra that was equivalent to a blow from a martial artist in the late stage of the Fu Wu Realm. It was used by the Infinity Squad to destroy the lair of the Ice Beast, and it would definitely be able to blast the barrier open.
But the end result was a disappointment for everyone.
The huge ship like a brilliant scorching sun, when it bombarded the mysterious barrier, it was just like before, just setting off a little ripple, and then dissipating into nothingness.
"How could this be? How could this mysterious enchantment resist the blow of a powerhouse of the Emperor Martial Realm?"
Everyone was stunned and felt incredulous when they saw that the Great Sun Spell, which had gathered everyone's hopes, had not had the slightest effect.
"Alas, it seems that the treasure has no chance of waiting for us!"
They all stopped their attacks, and some of them became depressed, they couldn't even break through the enchantment with a single blow from a powerhouse equivalent to the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm, and they didn't have the slightest way.
"Eyes of the Stars!"
Xingchen's eyes, the senior brother of the Star Gate, bloomed with a misty brilliance, as if it was surrounded by starlight, looking mysterious and infinite.
"Barrier-Breaking Pupil!"
"Eye of the Void!"
A group of warriors felt that their divine consciousness was blocked, and everyone was unwilling, and they each used their own tricks.
After running the pupil technique, Stardust suddenly felt that the power of the enchantment became weaker, as if it was about to penetrate through it, and when he saw the void and reality inside, he began to feel excited.
"Hey, these little guys still have some means!"
Just as Stardust and the others were running their pupil techniques, trying to see through the void in the enchantment, a somewhat unexpected sound echoed in the void.
"Who's it? Who's pretending?"
Everyone's complexion changed instantly, and they began to concentrate on their guard, this voice came so strangely that it made them feel cold.
The void distorted, and Bei Lao's figure appeared on the ice field, and he looked at everyone indifferently: "Everyone must not approach!"
Although Xu Chen did not explain, Bei Lao still shrouded a radius of dozens of miles in a talisman formation formed by the condensation of spiritual power.
The ability to help people through disasters is really terrifying, and if it is spread, it will definitely attract many people to peep.
Although Xu Chen's strength is strong, when facing those nine-star forces, and even hidden sects and families. It will also look overstretched.
As one of the top ten elders of the Alchemist Guild, he knew very well the methods of some hidden forces.
As long as there are enough interests, they will do whatever it takes to pay no attention to morality.
"Yes, don't be angry!
When the Xingchen people led by them saw this terrifying figure, they all bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, worried that they would offend this terrifying old man.
"Go ahead!"
Bei Lao waved his hand. One after another imprints appeared in the void, and a spatial teleportation array was formed in an instant, enveloping a group of people and teleporting them into the distance.
Soon, a hole opened in the void, and a group of people fell from it, all of them with shocked expressions on their faces.
"This old man's cultivation just now was so terrifying, when he looked at it, I actually felt that my breathing was stagnant!"
A martial artist was extremely shocked. He was already a peak powerhouse in the early stage of the Emperor Martial Realm, and he could be regarded as a master in the sect, which was really rare.
"Thoughts ...... Array"
The rest of the people also muttered to themselves with pale faces, if the old man wanted to take their lives just now, he could do it with a wave of his hand.
……
Bang!
Eleven people led down the thunder tribulation at the same time, and the thunder in the void was like a sea, churning wantonly, as if the sky was about to shatter.
"Xu Shao. You have to hold on, if this thunderstorm falls, we will be turned into ashes!"
Peng Bao is under the pressure of a huge thunderstorm. Shivering.
"You dead fatty, why are you so cowardly?"
Su Rou was the most resentful, and she really wanted to twist the fat on his body.
Endless thunder fell, dyeing the sky into a sea of blue thunder.
Click!
A bucket-thick electric light blasted down from above the nine heavens, and the sound was incomparably immense. The space along the way began to shatter.
Xu Chen's white clothes were fluttering, his body was vertical, he was shaking above the nine heavens, his steps jumped into the sea of thunder, and the immortal thunder body on his body was running. The thunder true qi in the seven dantian was flowing rapidly.
As soon as the mind moved, the Mixed Yuan Ding had already flown out, turning into a huge mountain, covering a radius of hundreds of miles, and those thunder pillars were all intercepted on the Mixed Yuan Ding, and none of them were shot down.
"Thunder King, come out for me!"
Xu Chen felt that it was not enough, the thunder tribulation above the heavenly dome was still accumulating power, and it had faintly exceeded the strength of the powerhouses in the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm.
After the Thunder King entered the Thunder Sea, he was like an incarnation of Xu Chen, completely connected with Xu Chen's heart, making Xu Chen have an extremely intimate feeling about the power of thunder.
The endless thunder water converged towards Xu Chen, and the seven dantians ran through, and the whole person turned into a part of the thunder sea.
"It's a wonderful feeling, as if it's been turned into a part of the thunder sea. ”
Xu Chen tried to operate the Star Battle Array, and soon he found that as expected, the terrifying thunder had formed an extremely large battle array centered on him.
When the outline of the lightning control technique came to mind, Xu Chen used the key to it and began to try to control the power in the thunder sea.
Gradually, a thunder dragon with a body of hundreds of zhang long was born in the thunder sea.
This thunder dragon was lifelike, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, and one after another dragon power surged out, making the hearts of the people below tremble.
"Is this Xu Shao's method?"
Peng Bao was dumbfounded, but Xu Chen gathered the power of the thunder tribulation and turned into a thunder dragon.
"Could it be that Brother Xu is the reincarnation of Thor?"
Little stars flashed in Su Rou's eyes, and it seemed that at this moment, her eldest brother Xu had turned into a god.
"This kid is really extraordinary!"
Bei Lao in the distance waved his hand to disperse the power of the enchantment, and at this time, within the scope of the Thunder Tribulation, the energy was extremely violent, and it was difficult for even the powerhouses in the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm to spy clearly.
Boom! Boom!
One after another, the thunder pillars thundered down from above the nine heavens, but when they were split on the thunder dragon, they completely merged into it and turned into a part of the thunder dragon.
The thunder dragon became bigger and bigger, and its size gradually spread from dozens of zhang to hundreds of zhang in size, stretching its body above the heavenly dome, causing the void to vibrate, and the momentum was incomparably great.
"This lightning control technique is really mysterious!"
When all the nine thunder tribulations fell, Xu Chen sensed that the power of this thunder dragon seemed to have faintly surpassed Cheng Dù in the late stage of the Emperor Martial Realm.
"Go hunt the Ice Beast!"
Xu Chen's mind moved, and the thunder dragon roared, turning into a streamer and disappearing into the sky.
"Xu Shao is really powerful and domineering! He really successfully resolved this thunder tribulation! This is a thunder tribulation of eleven people superimposed together!"
Peng Bao looked at the thunderclouds that had dissipated above the sky. Some are fascinated, their Peng family has really picked up a treasure this time.
One by one, the light of the law came, Peng Bao and the others were bathed in the light of the law, and everyone's cultivation was fast and steady.
"I have reached Emperor Fu's cultivation! Whoever bullies me in the future, I will definitely burn him, and I don't even know his mother!"
Su Rou clenched her little fists excitedly. She is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and few people can reach the rank of Emperor Fu at this age.
The members of the Hanfeng team couldn't help but be overjoyed, they couldn't help but be able to break through to the Emperor Martial Realm in their lifetimes, and they never thought about it.
……
Xu Chen harnessed the thunder dragon, constantly wandering on the ice field, once he encountered the ice beast's lair, he rushed directly into it, and a terrifying electric light flashed, leaving a pile of ice slag. Even an ice monster in the middle of the ninth order couldn't withstand a face-to-face attack.
"This kind of power is really terrifying!"
Truly controlling this power, Xu Chen knew how terrifying it was, and at the same time there were some expectations in his heart, there were nearly a thousand martial artists in the Mixed Yuan Ding who were about to break through to the Emperor Martial Realm.
If everyone triggers the Thunder Tribulation together, the power will inevitably far surpass that of the Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse.
"Isn't that a crazy idea?"
"You kid. This is not only madness, but simply looking for death!"
Zhong Lao is in the mixed yuan ding. Loudly reprimanded Xu Chen for messing around, this thunder tribulation is actually easy to provoke?
"Oh no! I can't control it!"
Xu Chen's complexion changed, and after controlling the thunder dragon and sweeping hundreds of ice beast nests, he found that the thunder dragon had a faint tendency to lose control.
"Transform me!"
Xu Chen immediately no longer hesitated, and immediately opened the Guida Array in the Mixed Yuan Ding, continuously converting the power of the Thunder Tribulation into aura value. It is then stored in the system.
Fifty million, ten million, one hundred and fifty million......
In this thunder tribulation, the power was extremely huge, and Xu Chen quickly absorbed as much as two billion spiritual energy points.
Call!
Xu Chen saw that all the Lei Yuan were transformed and absorbed by the system. I finally put my mind at ease.
This thunder tribulation is also divided into several grades, Xu Chen has already understood that the thunder tribulation within the scope of the powerhouse of the Emperor Martial Realm, with his current control of the law of thunder, can already be easily resolved.
Beyond this range, like the Eye of Heavenly Punishment formed last time, it is not something he can get through.
The thunder tribulation caused by the peak powerhouses of the Emperor Martial Realm and the early stage powerhouses of the God Martial Realm who had just cultivated the Nine Turns Forging Yuan Jue and the three turns of the Divine Martial Realm were basically the limit of his control.
……
The stronghold of the Money Chamber of Commerce, Xu Chen and everyone gathered together and began to celebrate.
In this collective tribulation, everyone made a huge breakthrough in cultivation, especially Peng Bao, who broke through the bottleneck that had always been in place, and broke through from the early stage of the Emperor Martial Realm to the middle stage of Cheng Dù.
In the Money Chamber of Commerce, it can also be regarded as the mainstay, and it has officially entered the upper echelons, as long as he returns to the Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks.
"What? Xu Shao is going to the fifth floor of the Ice Palace?"
Peng Bao exclaimed, he originally thought that Xu Chen would break through to the Emperor Martial Realm on the fourth layer of this Ice Palace, but he didn't expect Xu Chen to make this decision.
"Yes, this fourth time can't improve my strength anymore!"
"What is the choice of the three of you, do you want to go with me to the fifth floor of the Ice Palace, or stay here?"
Mo Wu and the Purple Emperor glanced at each other, and took a step forward together, "Xu Shao, we are willing to follow you to the fifth layer of the Ice Palace!"
"I'm sorry! Xu Shao, I am shouldering the mission of the family, if I can save my life this time, I will follow Xu Shao to the death in this life!"
Another martial artist named Yan Hao said with guilt, he came from a hidden family, entered the Ice Palace to shoulder the family mission, and there were still clansmen waiting for him to go back.
"It's okay!"
Xu Chen waved his hand, he could feel Yan Hao's sincerity, although he helped him survive the thunderstorm, but Xu Chen didn't think he owed him anything, on average, Xu Chen also obtained 200 million aura points from him, which could be used as a reward.
The last martial artist was named Lu An, and he looked at Xu Chen with a little dodge in his eyes, and finally lowered his head and said: "Xu Shao, I, Lu An, swear here, that in the future, I Lu An will still have a breath of air, and I will repay him with death!"
"You cultivate in this fourth layer for a while, and then go out with Peng Bao!"
In the next sentence, Xu Chen said it to Liang Yi and the people of Hanfeng's team.
"Brother Xu!"
"Captain Xu!"
Su Rou and the members of the Hanfeng team all looked at Xu Chen reluctantly.
It was when they met Xu Chen that their lives changed dramatically.
"You go back to the Ice Flame Chamber of Commerce first, maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"
Xu Chen said softly, he chose to help them because of some Star Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning, he had promised Concubine Shen Yun and the two daughters that he would fight for them in the battle of the Chamber of Commerce, and he had already made a decision in his heart, if he could retreat from the Lanxue Sacred Domain this time, he would definitely go to the Star Chamber of Commerce.
……
The halo flowed for a while, and Xu Chen led Bei Lao, Mo Wu, and Purple Emperor out of the teleportation array.
"Huh! The fifth floor of this ice palace doesn't seem to be quite the same as the four floors below!"
Xu Chen looked at the situation of the fifth layer and found that when he arrived here, there seemed to be no safe zone, and when he came out of the teleportation array, he no longer had that extremely mysterious protective power.
"No wonder some people say that after reaching the fifth layer, the enemies they face are not only from the ice beasts, but also from the same kind!"
Swish!
A black tower-like figure instantly appeared in front of Xu Chen and the others, and the aura on this person's body was very strange, like a poisonous snake, exuding a cold and dangerous aura.
He carried a strange long sword on his back, and his whole body was shrouded in black robes, making it impossible to see the real and the false.
Xu Chen's face was slightly solemn, this person was undoubtedly the strongest master he had ever seen since he entered the Ice Palace.
Previously, Peng Bao revealed to Xu Chen that there were only ten martial artists who had entered the fifth layer, and each of them had the strength of the Emperor Martial Realm. (To be continued......)
