“These shadows are too strong. We can’t resist them at all.”
Qian Renji said with a frown. They also would not be able to defeat them even if they were in their prime, much less in their current situation.
“These devil shadows are transformed from our souls and Divine Origin Power. Thus, they should be our heart demons.”
Jiang Chen spoke.
“Enjoy yourselves in this place, everyone. Well, I’m not going to keep you all company. If you can come out alive, only then will you have the qualification to fight me.”
Xuanyuan Canglan smiled faintly and gradually retreated. Eventually, he actually got out of the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation before the eyes of Jiang Chen and the others.
“How did he…”
Bing Yun covered her mouth, finding it difficult to believe.
“Damn it. Could it be that the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation also failed to restrain him?”
Xue Liang muttered with a deep voice.
“To put it in a more accurate manner, heaven, earth, humans, celestial beings, ghosts and demons… The Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation can trap everything and every living being within the six directions. That guy, however, has gone beyond the three worlds and five elements because he has fused with the soul of Tao Tie. Only the heaven-defying mythical beasts like the nine sons of the dragon are capable of being free from the three worlds and five elements. After all, they are originally heaven-defying creatures. They are considered as evil creatures left behind by the Ancestral Dragon Emperor. Because of that, they had to face the damnation from the heavens which nearly wiped them. Even the dragon race also can’t escape from the three worlds and five elements.”
Jiang Chen pondered for a while and gently narrowed his eyes to give Xuan Yuan Canglan a cold stare. He had to admit that the latter was indeed too lucky.
“You’re very smart. Unfortunately, being smart is useless. These shadows are produced from your heart demons. It’s impossible for you all to be their match. The Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation and the Eight Trigrams Altar sure are a perfect combination. Sadly, they still couldn’t restrain me.”
Xuan Yuan Canglan shouted. At this moment, his eyes fell upon the blood-red sarcophagus located at the deepest part of the area. Perhaps that place was where the final treasure resided.
“Going beyond the three worlds and being free from the five elements!”
Lan Luo muttered to herself with a low voice. It was not something that everybody could do. Throughout the ages, there were just a few mythical beasts and that guy had managed to fuse with Tao Tie’s soul. He was indeed lucky and it was an unchangeable fact.
Even though she had thought of countless ways of escaping, all of them were to no avail. With a death scythe in their hands, the eight devil shadows slowly walked towards them.
Xuan Yuan Canglan had already left the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation but Jiang Chen and the others were still trapped within it in a perilous state.
One after another, the eight devil shadows wielded their weapons. The death scythes swung past the air, filling the atmosphere with the qi of darkness.
Jiang Chen offered to battle four devil shadows on his own while the other four individuals would deal with the rest. However, even if each of them was just going to face a single devil shadow, it would still be very difficult for them to come out victorious. As their powers were under a great restriction, all of them might not even be able to go on with the devil shadows for ten rounds.
Jiang Chen was also in great trouble, taking on four devil shadows on his own. Compared to Xuan Yuan Canglan, these devil shadows were stronger in every aspect. Most importantly, they were formed out of their own souls and Divine Origin Power. Therefore, they were very likely to end up dead in their very own hands.
Jiang Chen was finding it hard to overcome this crisis with just his own strength. The other four individuals were still injured by the devil shadows. The situation was gravely unfavourable to them.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Canglan who had gotten out of the formation was completely carefree. He was the only person left in the Great Emperor’s Tomb. Weren’t all the precious items his now? Xuan Yuan Canglan stared at the blood-red sarcophagus at the deepest part of the tomb. It was simple and old but the qi it exuded was somewhat frightening. Even so, Xuan Yuan Canglan was still determined to walk towards it.
“The Ancient Emperor’s Qi!”
On the blood-red sarcophagus, there were four ancient and powerful words. Each of them exuded an incomparably thick qi. It seemed like every single character had experienced the vicissitudes of change through eons.
“Activate!”
Xuan Yuan Canglan moved his palm, directly lifting off the lid of the coffin. To his surprise, there was a person lying down within it with his face facing downward and on his body was an extremely rare and precious battle armor and plume.
“Is this the battle armor of the Immortal Execution?”
Xuan Yuan Canglan raised his brows in surprise. Before coming to this place, he had done some research on Immortal Execution Great Emperor. He could not find anything extensive but the ancient books in the Xuan Yuan Clan kept a record about him.
“The Blood-red Battle Armor can withstand thousands of men and horses while the Purple Cloud Plume can avoid the supreme Heavenly Lightning! These are the important treasures that even great emperors are afraid of.”
Xuan Yuan Canglan reached out his hand, clutching the Immortal Execution Battle Armor tightly. As for the person who was lying in the coffin, it made Xuan Yuan Canglan extremely curious.
“I want to see exactly what the Immortal Execution Great Emperor looks like.”
Xuan Yuan Canglan reached out his hand again trying to move the body of the man. However, a sharp and formidable light caused him to back away. A cold-faced man appeared out of nowhere while holding a green cherry spear that was nine chi long. His eyes were piercing like blades. His qi was also much more terrifying than Xuan Yuan Canglan. Especially his eyes that contained no fear at all, they could give one a feeling of unrivalled battle intent.
He donned white robes that did not even contain a speck of dust. His face was cold and grim. His uncommon facial features made him look much more attractive than women. His long hair danced in the wind and the corner of his mouth displayed arrogance and contempt.
“Put down the thing in your hands.”
The man with the green spear said. It seemed like the things that Xuan Yuan Canglan was holding already belonged to him.
“What a big tone. Are you planning to claim the advantage from my earlier battle? You aren’t qualified to do that yet. Don’t you think you think too highly of yourself, thinking that you can make me yield without a fight?”
Xuan Yuan Canglan coldly replied to that man who had just appeared. The latter actually wanted to seize that item without using any effort. It was literally ridiculous. However, what Xuan Yuan Canglan did not expect was that that man actually also knew about the existence of the Immortal Execution Great Emperor.
“Then, death is your only option.”
The man said while his green spear glistened. Xuan Yuan Canglan also felt great pressure from that man. Without a doubt, he certainly was not someone common.
Inside the formation, Jiang Chen and the others were driven to despair. The four individuals with him were already at their limit. As for Jiang Chen, he was also facing oppression from a few devil shadows. The situation became extremely threatening to them. Without any options left for them, Jiang Chen intended to bring the group into the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda with him. Unfortunately, the space within the formation was exactly the same as the one within the Killing Platform. Since the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation was already a minified formation space, Jiang Chen’s Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had completely lost its function here. Therefore, it was impossible for him to go inside the pagoda.
“Soul Seizing Divine Art, Dead Spirit Kill Soul!”
Jiang Chen displayed his final technique. The terror of the Great Emperor Realm soul was uncommon. In an instant, seven of the devil shadows were cut down by Jiang Chen and disintegrated. The four of them then fell to the ground on their backside. None of them still maintained the composure as a strong cultivator. If Jiang Chen did not act just in time, all of them would be in grave danger and some of them might need to make a choice between life and death.
Jiang Chen had eliminated seven but he could not destroy his own shadow. Moreover, at this moment, he was already fairly weak. He probably also could not rival Xue Liang and the others. Killing the seven devil shadows had depleted too much of his soul power.
Jiang Chen and the others still would have difficulties defending against the last devil shadow. Furthermore, Jiang Chen could feel that the final devil shadow was his own devil shadow.
When one’s Dao increased, their devil side would also intensify relatively. Although Jiang Chen’s Great Emperor Realm soul was not weakened, the Eight Trigrams Altar still managed to create a heart demon from him.
“Throughout my life, I rose against the heavens and trod on the sky. I never have a heart demon!”
Internally, Jiang Chen bawled. With eyes blazed like torches, he stared directly at the scary devil shadow which was advancing towards him.
“I rise against the heavens and form my own Dao. How will there be space for a heart demon?”
Jiang Chen shut his eyes tightly. The moment the devil shadow produced from his heart demon wielded the death scythe at him, it turned into sand and dispersed across the air.
“Well said. Hahaha. You’re the kind of person that I’m looking for. It’s beyond my expectations that you are also someone from the Nine Region Immortal World. Now, it seems like my legacy is not going to die out just like this.”
Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head and stared at the silhouette within the Eight Trigrams Altar in front of him. That voice, however, came from all directions and eventually reverberated within Jiang Chen’s mind.
