Chapter 1690: Chapter 1679: Omen Appears! Treasure Land Emerges!
The enormous brown Sword Qi of the tenth-order Unyielding Sword Intent, after extinguishing the Sword Qi formed by the third-order Wind Sword Intent, hardly consumed any energy and continued to rapidly assault Jiang Yutang.
Although Jiang Yutang was shocked beyond words, he knew this was not the time to be dumbfounded. He activated the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians, enhancing his aura continually, raising both hands: “Ice Shield!”
An ice shield immediately formed in front of Jiang Yutang. He slapped his palm on the ice shield, causing it to move forward a meter, while the enormous brown Sword Qi collided with it.
“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!——”
“Bang!”
The entire ice shield was instantly covered with countless cracks, then swiftly turned into a mist of ice in the air.
The ice shield couldn’t dissipate the enormous brown Sword Qi; less than a second later, the entire ice shield shattered.
The enormous brown Sword Qi completely enveloped Jiang Yutang, so much so that even if he used Sky Command Flight, he couldn’t evade it.
As the enormous brown Sword Qi was about to slash Jiang Yutang, he was likely to meet his demise at this point.
Hesitation flashed across Jiang Yutang’s face; biting his teeth hard, he recklessly pushed the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians to the extreme, feeling as if all his meridians might burst.
Wrinkles appeared incessantly on Jiang Yutang’s face, and his hair rapidly withered and fell; with his dried-up hands, he waved desperately in the air, “Blood Curse!”
Jiang Yutang’s appearance utterly transformed into that of a waning old man, his face full of densely packed wrinkles, his hair all fallen away, yet emitting a terrifying force from his body. His blood surged to the sky, with his muddled eyes filled with endless anger.
As the enormous brown Sword Qi was about to slash Jiang Yutang’s head, a blood-colored shield suddenly appeared in front of him, containing a terrifying power.
With a “Bang!” sound.
Accompanied by the blood-colored shield’s disappearance, the enormous brown Sword Qi also vanished.
The Blood Curse, a life-saving secret technique from Sword Feather Villa, wouldn’t be employed by its members unless at the brink of life and death.
Once this secret technique is used, the caster’s life span will instantly be reduced to only twenty days, although this technique can withstand attacks ten times stronger than oneself.
Although the lifespan would instantly be reduced to only twenty days after performing the secret technique, consuming some life-extension elixirs helps, or if strength continuously increases in the shortest time, the lifespan will rise accordingly.
After deploying this secret technique, the blood-colored shield can be used up to three times within twenty days, allowing Jiang Yutang to still form two more blood-colored shields!
The reason Jiang Yutang chose to perform the Blood Curse is that he happened to have life-extension elixirs in his Qiankun Bag. After consuming them, his lifespan should extend by about five years. With him still being in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm, as long as he secured his life first and gained fortunes therein, his lifespan would still increase continuously once his strength elevates.
Yet losing so much life span for nothing, although Jiang Yutang’s strength remained, his functional abilities have dramatically declined. The extremely aged Jiang Yutang, with his face full of gathered wrinkles and his teeth clenching hard, glaring at Ye Chenfeng with his chest slightly heaving, was burning with an intense desire to grind Ye Chenfeng’s bones to dust right away.
Yu Shuiyao, Shi Tianning, and the rest present also knew about the Blood Curse secret technique. What surprised them was Ye Chenfeng unexpectedly comprehending the tenth-level perfect Sword Intent? Forcing Jiang Yutang to employ such a life-draining secret technique, while the Sect Master of Sword Feather Villa only understood the fifth-level Sword Intent!
Yu Shuiyao’s beautiful eyes grew increasingly curious as she watched Ye Chenfeng not far away, while Li Yueshuang and Shao Xiong, who turned into a human stick, were astonished beyond belief. Especially Shao Xiong, who was so scared that he was drenched in cold sweat now regretting provoking Ye Chenfeng, labeling him a complete anomaly, a complete monster.
Not only did he comprehend the third-level Sword Intent, but he also understood a tenth-level perfect Sword Intent.
Nearby, the Star Cloud Sect’s genius Shi Tianning, looking at the extremely old Jiang Yutang, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He could no longer look down on Ye Chenfeng now and had to admit Ye Chenfeng was worthy of being their opponent.
Jiang Yutang, with all hair lost and completely consumed by rage, still had two usages of the blood-colored shield. He must now kill Ye Chenfeng; he couldn’t wait a moment longer. After all, his blood-colored shield could block a tenth-level perfect Sword Intent, and he believed by relying on the last two blood-colored shields, he could definitely approach Ye Chenfeng and kill him.
Ye Chenfeng slightly furrowed his brow, his gaze never leaving Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning.
Just as Jiang Yutang was about to make another move.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of muffled sounds suddenly echoed from the sky.
This inevitably drew everyone’s gaze toward the sky.
Immediately after, the earth began to tremble, and dragon roars resounded through every inch of the air.
The phantoms of eight Azure Dragons flashed in the sky, appearing extremely lifelike as they roamed freely.
Their surroundings were filled with seven-colored light, which shined so brightly that it hindered eyesight.
Such a massive otherworldly phenomenon occurred unexpectedly, even the furious Jiang Yutang was momentarily lost, indicating that treasures were certainly about to appear nearby; how could this not excite anyone?
As expected.
After the eight huge Azure Dragons formed a peculiar pattern in the sky.
The ground of the forest where Ye Chenfeng and his companions were began to crack rapidly, with an immense pressure emanating from the sky, almost suffocating them.
Deep, bottomless cracks appeared swiftly across the forest ground, and the terrain began shifting—the split ground moved forward, backward, left, right, some sunk downward, some jutted upward.
Ye Chenfeng and the others on site wanted to immediately use Sky Command Flight, but unfortunately, the pressure from the sky made flying impossible. They could only stand on the splitting ground, allowing it to disperse them. However, Ye Chenfeng managed to grab the backside of Zuo Feibai’s clothing, keeping Zuo Feibai by his side.
As for Shao Xiong, who had become a human stick without limbs, before he could cry for help, his body fell into one of the deep, bottomless cracks in the ground, leaving him with almost no chance of survival.
The entire forest was undergoing intense changes.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away to the right outside the forest.
A massive palace slowly emerged from below the earth.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!——”
Initially, the top of the palace emerged from the ground, instantly enveloping the air in dust; then, the palace emerged more quickly, and within a few breaths’ time, a resplendent golden palace stood on the ground, continually emanating an ancient aura.
The pitch-black forest also ceased its transformation, the ground stopped splitting, and the already-fissured ground halted its shifting.
The phantoms of the eight Azure Dragons in the sky shone even more dazzlingly.
The gigantic palace emerging from beneath the ground seemed to establish a connection with the eight Azure Dragons in the sky.
The resplendent golden palace suddenly burst with brilliance.
The eight Azure Dragons in the sky each roared, then surged towards the palace like a flood, imprinting eight Azure Dragon patterns upon its grand entrance.
The entire palace became enveloped in a cyan glow.
Phenomenon arises! Treasure land appears!
