Chapter 504: Becoming 1 group randomly |
On the face of the White Lion Demon King, a resolute expression appeared as it seized an opportunity and decisively self-destructed its residual soul. The gigantic white lion phantom first contracted abruptly and then exploded suddenly.
If it were just the self-destruction of the White Lion Demon King's residual soul, it wouldn't be much of a threat, considering the extensive depletion it had endured. The remaining soul power was already limited, at best stronger than a regular Gold Core Daoist Master's self-destruction.
However, this time, the White Lion Demon King's self-destruction wasn't just limited to its own residual soul. It used its control over the Fourth Rank magic tool, Myriad Layers Peak, to detonate it from its core.
Beneath it, the massive palace exploded in tandem with the self-destruction of the White Lion Demon King's residual soul. Violent waves of energy surged in all directions, imposing terrifying harm on the Gold Core Daoist Masters present.
As the primary force confronting the White Lion Demon King, Daoist Master Fei Shi took the brunt of the impact. Whether he liked it or not, at this moment, he first shielded the others from the initial wave.
His natural spiritual tool, the enormous mountain peak, shook intensely within the explosion and was immediately blasted into several pieces, flying away.
With his natural spiritual tool destroyed, Daoist Master Fei Shi spewed blood and collapsed weakly on the ground.
The raging shockwaves swept across all directions, causing all the Gold Core Daoist Masters present to tremble in fear.
Wu Mingwei stood behind Daoist Master Fei Shi, forcibly resisting the force of the explosion, trying to attend to Fei Shi's condition.
All the inheritances of the Layered Mystery Sect, along with various treasures, were hidden in the deepest part of this space.
Besides the owner of Myriad Layers Peak, this Fourth Rank magic tool, others could only obtain these inheritances and treasures if they completely unraveled the mysteries of the space and reached its innermost layer.
The White Lion Demon King had never completely assimilated the tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak nor fully mastered this Fourth Rank magic tool, so it naturally couldn't obtain these things.
However, by forcibly detonating Myriad Layers Peak, all those items hidden in the deepest part of the space were now ejected and flying in all directions.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters present were all crafty individuals with keen eyesight, and they quickly noticed the extraordinary nature of these orbs of light. They were prepared to collect these orbs, but suddenly, they felt the ground violently shaking, and the main peak beneath their feet began to collapse.
As Myriad Layers Peak was detonated, its independent space was inevitably collapsing too. However, this level of collapse wasn't immediate; it followed a process.
Before the space completely collapsed, everyone still had some time to freely collect these orbs of light flying around.
Qin Hongying, an elderly lady, reacted the fastest. She leaped into the air, trying to capture one of the orbs not far ahead.
But just as she soared into the sky, she let out a miserable scream as a deep, bone-visible wound appeared on her body.
It turned out that as the independent space slowly collapsed, numerous spatial fissures of various sizes began to emerge all around. If someone accidentally brushed against these fissures, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would inevitably be injured. Unfortunate ones might even face a life-threatening situation.Qin Hongying's encounter did not scare the others. Everyone flew into the sky and chased after the orbs. Even Qin Hongying herself, after tending to her injuries, flew away as well. Among the group, Fei ShiDaoist Master had the highest cultivation base, but due to his natal spiritual tool being destroyed, he was heavily injured and couldn't chase after the orbs in time. He waved his hand to Wu Mingwei beside him.
"Don't worry about me, go after those things quickly. That should be the inheritance of the Layered Mystery Sect. It's related to the future of my Flying Swan Sect and must not fall into someone else's hands."
Seeing Wu Mingwei hesitate, he shouted sternly, "I can take care of myself, you go quickly."
Wu Mingwei nodded and immediately flew into the sky, chasing after the orbs. Fei JiangDaoist Master suppressed his injuries and also flew into the sky to pursue the orbs. The mountain peak collapsed and Fei ShiDaoist Master couldn't stay in one place. He released a talisman, creating a protective barrier around himself, and then struggled to fly up, slowly leaving the main peak.
As for Meng Zhang, he actively launched an attack on the White Lion Demon King, not to show off or help the others, but to distract the enemy. Faced with his aggressive assault, the White Lion Demon King delivered a heavy blow, just as Meng Zhang had expected. Seizing this opportunity, Meng Zhang flew far away from the battlefield and pretended to be heavily injured and on the verge of death.
In fact, Meng Zhang had no ulterior motive for doing this. He simply wanted to conserve his energy and avoid further combat. He didn't think that his clumsy feigning of death could deceive the Gold CoreDaoist Masters present. He lay on the ground, pretending to be dead, and a series of changes occurred behind him.
Seeing various orbs floating in the sky, he wanted to reach out and grab them but didn't know where to start. Suddenly, he had a feeling of good fortune and flew up into the sky, reaching out to grab one of the orbs. It felt like he had caught a miniature pavilion. Without examining it closely, he tucked it into his embrace and prepared to continue collecting the orbs.
Just as he flew a distance away, a sense of danger arose in his heart, and he abruptly stopped. He activated his Deception Breaking Eye and saw a barely visible spatial crack not far ahead. It was a close call, as Meng Zhang almost collided head-on with the spatial crack. If he had hit it without any precautions, he would have suffered severe injuries.
Having been delayed for a moment, the orbs that were originally flying ahead had disappeared without a trace. The remaining Gold CoreDaoist Masters chased after the orbs in all directions. Meng Zhang was no exception and began to pursue them, but he became extra cautious after the previous lesson. He continuously released his Divine Sense to monitor his surroundings and frequently used his Deception Breaking Eye to survey in all directions.
During his journey, Meng Zhang's luck was neither good nor bad. He managed to collect a total of five orbs. Except for the first one, the other four orbs could be stored in his storage magic tool. Items that couldn't be stored in a storage magic tool generally fell into two categories: living creatures and items with inherent spatial power, which were inherently spatial in nature.
This place was full of dangers, and Meng Zhang had to continue chasing after the flying orbs, so he didn't have time to carefully examine his harvest. Meng Zhang quickly glanced at them and deduced that the first orb was most likely a spatial magic tool, which was why it couldn't be stored in his storage magic tool. He hid it close to his body and didn't pay it any more attention. Instead, he wholeheartedly focused on searching for the remaining orbs.
