Chapter 518: The Last Layer
"If the number of these silver corpses continues to grow uncontrollably like this, even if the Sky Locking Heavenly Array can withstand it, the mana in my body will not be able to withstand such consumption. Duan Chen didn't have the leisure to think about what the Void Son was doing at this time.
Because of the hasty arrangement of the array, he did not have the spare time to draw the formation pattern and dig the pit where the spirit stone was placed, so in order to maintain the operation of the Heaven Locking Imperial Array, he needed to continuously provide mana at all times.
If it was for a short period of time, he would still be able to hold on, but after a long time, even if the mana in his body was several times that of an ordinary Jindan Great Perfection cultivator, he would not be able to resist such continuous consumption at all.
"There's really no way, so I can only withdraw this Sky Locking Heavenly Array. When the mana consumption in his body exceeded thirty percent, Duan Chen couldn't help frowning.
Although he didn't want to do this, he didn't dare to leave his safety to the Red Fire Scattered People and the Muli Fairy.
After all, once the mana in his body was exhausted, he didn't dare to guarantee that the Red Fire Scatterer and the Muli Fairy would always protect himself in the next actions.
Just as Duan Chen was thinking like this in his heart, the endless white corpse qi that was tumbling around him suddenly collapsed and dispersed with a bang, gradually turning into nothingness.
And those silver corpses condensed by the power of the formation roared unwillingly, and their bodies turned into nothingness in the roar, until they finally disappeared.
"Great, it must have been Elder Void who broke through the eye of the Corpse Yin Great Array, and this formation would have given birth to such a change. The Muli Fairy, who had been nervously hanging a heart, immediately said with a happy face, and at the same time secretly put away the communication token in his hand.
Previously, she had been worried about whether there would be any accidents in the Void Child, but she didn't dare to act rashly if she had a heartfelt connection, for fear of disturbing the Void Child's breaking formation, and now she saw the entire corpse yin array gradually disintegrating, and she couldn't help but smile with joy.
Duan Chen and Chihuo Sanren also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then with a wave of his palm, the former put the eighty-one dark green array flags that had been arranged to lock the Sky Imperial Array into the storage ring.
Almost at the same time, but seeing a figure in the attic in the middle of the air flashing, the figure of the void appeared out of thin air, and his face was slightly gloomy: "Cracking this corpse yin array has delayed the old man for a long time, we must go to the last layer as soon as possible, otherwise we will be afraid of changes." ”
Hearing this, Chihuo Sanren didn't know what he thought, his face changed slightly, and he immediately nodded silently and followed the Void Son towards the spiral staircase leading to the last floor, followed by Duan Chen and Muli Fairy.
Soon, a group of four people climbed to the eighth floor of the Great Hanguang Pavilion, which was also the last floor of this pavilion.
Then the four of them turned their eyes together, and then looked at the black crystal altar standing in the center of the eighth floor of the Great Cold Light Pavilion, and the pupils in their eyes shrank.
Because on the Black Crystal Altar, which was a hundred zhang long and wide, and thirty-three high, four figures were walking along the steps on the Black Crystal Altar step by step, and they were extremely slow to the top of the altar.
At the top of the altar, a palm-sized, pitch-black crystal key was quietly suspended in mid-air, exuding a pitch-black and deep light.
Duan Chen's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly looked at it carefully.
I saw that the surface of the pitch-black key suspended at the top of the altar was impressively engraved with a figure of eight.
"Could it be that this is the eighth inheritance key?" Duan Chen's heart moved, but his face quietly began to look at the four figures who were climbing the altar.
But on the long staircase of three hundred and thirty-three paths, four figures were climbing up with difficulty one after another.
Among them, the Zhu Yan Demon King, who revealed the body of the Heavenly Wolf, walked in front of the four people, and had already climbed the two hundred and fifty-third steps, followed by Blood Impermanence, only more than ten steps behind the Zhu Yan Demon King.
As for the Corpse Demon Ancestor, he was ranked third, having just climbed the two hundred and twentieth steps, and finally the fake infant monk of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
It can be seen that at this moment, the bodies of the four people seem to be under some kind of huge pressure, and every time they climb the stairs, their bodies will involuntarily shake, and then pause slightly before continuing to climb upward.
Among them, the three Yuan Infant Cultivators Zhu Yan Demon King, He Blood Impermanence and Corpse Demon Ancestor were fine, and there was nothing unusual on the surface for the time being, but the Ten Thousand Demon Sect False Infant Monk who fell last was pale, and his whole body was wet with sweat.
While Duan Chen was looking at the four Corpse Demon Ancestors, the Void Son and the Red Fire Scatterer also saw the situation on the altar clearly.
At that moment, the faces of the two couldn't help but change, and in an instant, without saying a word, their bodies flickered, and they each turned into two rays of light, one yellow and one red, and shot towards the bottom of the altar.
However, before the two of them could get close to the altar, the void on both sides was originally empty, and suddenly there was a blur and distortion, and then the two figures that had been in ambush for a long time suddenly launched a surprise attack, rushing towards the Void and the Red Fire Scatterer, and they didn't know what it was.
"Retreat!"
The Void Son and the Red Fire Scatterer seemed to have been on guard, and the bodies that were originally rushing forward suddenly shot backwards in an instant, narrowly avoiding the ambush of the two figures.
And after the two figures missed, they didn't chase deeply, but stopped on the way to the Black Crystal Altar.
It wasn't until this time that Duan Chen and the four of them could see the true faces of these two figures, which were actually a white Xuan Turtle and a golden-winged silver corpse.
After the Void Son saw the two things clearly, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "It's the demon puppet White Tiger Xuan Turtle of the Zhuyan Demon King, and the golden-winged silver corpse of the Corpse Demon Ancestor." ”
"I'll just say, these people left so many means to prevent us from ascending to the eighth layer before, how can they be unprepared now, but as far as I know, the White Tiger Xuan Tortoise of the Zhuyan Demon King has reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant, how can it still be sacrificed in the Lock Heaven Palace?"
The Red Fire Scattered People on the side couldn't help but suddenly realize when they heard this, and immediately asked with a hint of puzzlement.
"Hmph, it's probably some secret method used to suppress it to the realm of fake babies, otherwise it won't make sense at all. The Void Snorted coldly.
"That's a bit tricky, this White Tiger Turtle and the Golden-winged Silver Corpse are not small, and if we fight hard, the two of us won't be able to get rid of it for a while. The Red Fire Scattered Man stared at the White Tiger Turtle and the Golden-winged Silver Corpse blocking in front of him, and said with some concern.
"Chihuo, I remember that you seem to have subdued a fire charm that had reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant realm before, but now that you are here, you are still hiding it, so it's too much to say, right?"
But when Chihuo Sanren heard this, he said lightly with no different color: "I heard that the blue flame bird that Brother Dao used to raise in captivity also broke through to the Yuanying realm not long ago, so I think it should be released later, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as you release that fire charm, the old man will naturally release the Blue Flame Bird as well, otherwise your fire charm alone will not be able to entangle the White Tiger Xuan Turtle and the Golden-winged Silver Corpse at the same time. The Void Man glanced at the Red Fire Sanren, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Chihuo Sanren pinched his hands with a relaxed expression.
Then I saw a flash of fire in his body, and a demonic figure completely condensed by flames immediately flew out of it, suspended in front of the Red Fire Scattered Person, and an incomparably hot wave of fire emanated from the demonic figure, which made the Void Son look at it with some surprise.
Soon, however, the Void Child also slapped the spirit pet bag on his waist and released a cyan spirit bird with wings and tail feathers burning with turquoise flames.
However, before the Red Fire Scattered Man and the Void Son could command their respective spirit pets to participate in the battle, a violent roar and crackling sound came from the attic on the seventh floor below, causing the faces of everyone present to change at the same time.
"Oh no, someone is here again, hurry up to the altar. The face of the Void Son sank, and then his heart moved, and the blue flame bird that was originally hovering above his head immediately flapped its wings with a long roar and flew out, and flew straight at the golden-winged silver corpse.
"This old fox. Seeing this, the Red Fire Sanren couldn't help but curse secretly, and immediately had to command the fire charm in front of him to deal with the white tiger turtle.
You must know that this White Tiger Xuan Tortoise is a demon puppet in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, plus it was originally a barbaric alien species, even if its cultivation is suppressed to the realm of a fake baby at this moment, its strength is slightly stronger than that golden-winged silver corpse.
If he could, the Red Flame Scattered People naturally didn't want his fire charm to face the White Tiger Xuan Turtle of the Demon King, but the golden-winged silver corpse had already been picked up by the Void Childless Blue Flame Bird first, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.
But no matter what, the top priority at the moment is to climb the altar as soon as possible and catch up with the Corpse Demon Ancestor and the others.
Therefore, after complaining in his heart, the Red Fire Scatterer began to climb towards the bottom of the altar with the Void Child.
"Duan Daoyou, let's go too. Seeing that the white tiger turtle and the golden-winged silver corpse were entangled, and seeing that the Red Fire Scattered Man and the Void Son had begun to ascend the altar, he couldn't help but look at Duan Chen on the side with beautiful eyes and said.
"Good. ”
Duan Chen nodded, took his eyes off the four fierce beasts that were fighting in the field, and began to ascend the altar with the Muli Fairy.
However, when he stepped on the first step at the bottom of the Black Crystal Altar, he immediately felt an indescribable pressure enveloping through the altar under his feet, making him feel some empathy for what happened to the Corpse Demon Ancestor and the others.
However, the pressure generated by the first step of the altar was negligible, and it was not worth mentioning to Duan Chen, so he did not pause at all, and directly stepped on the second step of the altar, followed by the third and fourth steps......
At the same time, the Muli Fairy also continued to climb upwards with the same rapid steps, and soon had climbed the hundredth step.
It was only at this time that the pressure of the entire Black Crystal Altar on the two of them began to gradually become stronger.
Duan Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he still maintained his original speed and continued to climb upward, but the Muli Fairy had to urge the body protection aura, resisting the pressure brought by the altar while continuing to climb upwards with Duan Chen, which seemed to be quite easy.
