Chapter 1056: Chapter 718: Black Mist and Flames
Boom!
The spear shadows were flickering, their attacking force extremely terrifying, possessing at least the power of the Inquiry Dao Realm, as they crashed toward Xiang Beifei. Xiang Beifei and the Diviner quickly ran to the side as the spear shadows brought a terrible wave of air behind them.
However, they hadn’t run far when a fierce sword intent surged from a crack in the ground, and a terrifying great blade rose from it, attacking them once again.
The two kept running for their lives, stunned by this horrifying momentum, surrounded by palm winds, sword gleams, flames, and ice in this pitch-black Iron City...
The powers triggered by a battle a hundred thousand years ago all reappeared, relentlessly targeting Xiang Beifei, giving them no chance to catch their breath.
"This way, this way! Jump into the pit!"
The Diviner tossed out the tortoiseshell again, which quickly converged in the air, landing in a sunken pit with a somewhat bizarre shape.
Xiang Beifei didn’t have time to think about what this place was, and could only jump into the pit. Just as his figure landed, a loud noise erupted from the sky, and a terrifying footprint descended from the heavens, stomping towards them.
This footprint was fifty or sixty meters long, and as it stomped down, it seemed to freeze the air; the power was too strong for even an Inquiry Dao Realm expert to avoid!
"Is your pit reliable?" Xiang Beifei shouted.
"You better pray for it to be reliable," the Diviner responded loudly.
Boom!
No sooner had he spoken than the gigantic footprint came down, sending rolling airwaves outwards, extremely terrifying.
But fortunately, they ended up right in the crevice between the toes of the giant footprint. Xiang Beifei finally understood what this pit signified; it turned out to be a footprint from a hundred thousand years ago!
But after this massive foot disappeared, the surroundings fell silent again, and Dayan Jinshou seemed to have ceased.
"The formation isn’t continuing its attack?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"This is the safest place I could find."
The Diviner wiped a bead of sweat, straightening his long white eyebrows that had gotten twisted to the back of his head during the chaos.
Dayan Jinshou evidently wasn’t a perfect formation and certainly had places without attacks. It was quite extraordinary that the Diviner could find a small safe spot within the perilous Rushou City.
"You take a rest now, I’ll divinate what’s ahead." The Diviner said.
"Okay, be careful."
Xiang Beifei quickly took the opportunity to adjust his state.
After roughly half an hour of cultivation, Xiang Beifei had recovered slightly, during which the Diviner had been sneakily peeking at the edge of the pit, occasionally throwing out tortoiseshells for divination. Since he wasn’t as agile as Xiang Beifei, he couldn’t leave by himself.
"How’s the situation?" Xiang Beifei opened his eyes and asked.
"The further we go in, the stronger the power of Dayan Jinshou becomes; ascension realm forces are commonplace, and I don’t know if it’s just my illusion, but there might even be Ancestral Dao Realm attacks!"
The Diviner clutched a piece of tortoiseshell, his face grave.
Ancestral Dao Realm!
Xiang Beifei frowned as well.
Earlier the Demon Heaven Seal and Sword Intent outside were only at ascension realm power. If Dayan Jinshou also included Ancestral Dao Realm attacks, it’s absolutely no trivial matter.
Xiang Beifei still had not witnessed the power of the Ancestral Dao Realm; not to mention the Ancestral Dao Realm, even dealing with Xifeng in the Inquiry Dao Realm was troublesome for him, let alone the ascension and Ancestral Dao Realms.
But it’s understandable, if not for the Ancestral Dao Realm, Rushou City wouldn’t have fallen. Since Rushou, the leader back then, used Dayan Jinshou and blocked even the Dao Palace, there was surely a reason.
"Should we keep moving forward?" the Diviner asked.
"Can you divine any more safe points?" Xiang Beifei asked.
The Diviner hesitated for a moment and said, "I can, but with our strength, we might not be able to make it there."
The attacks of Dayan Jinshou could be seen everywhere, but there were some safe positions without threats, such as the giant toe gap they hid in presently.
However, these safe spots were far apart, and if during their journey they encountered fierce ascension or Ancestral Dao Realm attacks, they might not reach a safe position before perishing.
In other words, to reach the next safe spot, they also had to ensure they broke through Dayan Jinshou’s attacks.
Xiang Beifei and the Diviner, both only had the power of the late-stage immortality realm, and honestly, their strength was considered very weak here.
"Let’s plan a route, and try to proceed if possible, if not, we retreat."
Xiang Beifei decided to give it a try, but first, they needed to calculate the route based on the Diviner’s divinations.
At this moment, Rushou City was still quiet, because they hadn’t triggered the Dayan Jinshou formation, they only saw a dead silent ruined city. The Diviner’s divinations didn’t disturb the formation either; his divination was quite unique, quickly delineating some guides.
"Do you see that alley? Approximately, there’s a safe spot at the corner of the alley side, can’t be seen from here, but I don’t know about the attacks midway, I can only divine that it’s very dangerous! At least, I can’t withstand it," the Diviner said.
"What level of attack?"
"According to the fortune divination, the level of fierce intent is roughly mid-Inquiry Dao Realm."
Mid-Inquiry Dao Realm, that would be even stronger than Xifeng!
Here, even using the Yin and Yang Source Qi cannot simulate it; when Rushou laid down this formation, the methods used were extremely extreme, killing both allies and enemies alike!
