Chapter 450: Chapter 364: Great Saint’s Divinity
Shen Wang suddenly realized things weren’t so simple.
At least, these adventurers entering now were part of the design by this place’s original master, meant to kill them and absorb their life force to nurture this egg.
Fortunately, he first broke into the core area, avoiding becoming nourishment for this egg.
Shen Wang observed the slightly trembling Phoenix Egg greedily absorbing strands of bloody energy, feeling no beauty in it at all.
He was secretly relieved in his heart; had he not spent most of his effort on breaking the array, he might not have discovered the original owner’s sinister intentions here.
At this moment, tragic cries from adventurers could be heard from outside.
Shen Wang knew these people were step by step falling into the death traps set by the original owner; after death, the life force in their bodies was continuously extracted by the array to nourish this Phoenix Egg.
Such an evil method of nourishment proved the owner of this place was by no means kind. Shen Wang instinctively sensed potential danger and went all out to break the array.
As long as he fully mastered the array, or at least controlled more than ninety percent of it, he could rely on the array to escape, whatever traps the original owner had.
Not only inside the great hall, but now there were various killing arrays triggered outside as well.
A large number of Demon Venerables and Demon Generals died in various killing arrays.
At this moment, inside the great hall, there were also various killing arrays triggered outside.
Outside the great hall, the originally calm space erupted in a strong wind containing numerous sharp wind blades, rotating and slicing at great speed like tangible sharp blades.
A dozen Demon Generals were enveloped by the wind blades, trying to use magic power to resist, but the wind blades were too dense and sharp, instantly shattering their defenses into pieces.
Next, the wind blades sliced into their bodies like cutting through tofu, in an instant, these Demon Generals were shredded into countless fragments, blood and flesh splattering around.
In another area, the originally hard rocks suddenly cracked open like a giant mouth swallowing caught-off-guard adventurers, with spikes appearing that quickly sounded of bones smashing.
There was also the speed-of-light fiery arrow light, a Demon General unable to dodge was directly shot through the chest, the scorching arrowhead piercing through and turning into blazing flames engulfing him.
Of course, the most formidable was the outbreak of flames inside the great hall, engulfing a group of Demon Generals in an instant, many of whom struggled frantically in the fire, soon letting out miserable screams.
The surviving adventurers were too busy to notice the life force of the deceased being drawn by the array, continuously gathering towards somewhere.
"Elder, save me!"
A Stone Race member cried out tragically, turning to charcoal before Shi Yushuo.
His face was unsightly; only the Flame Race people, due to their innate fire element ability, remained intact, while other teams were either wiped out or sustained heavy casualties, with even the best having injured members.
"All of you, retreat now!"
Shi Yushuo ordered helplessly, too many died before acquiring any treasure, instinctively sensing this place still had big issues, without Demon Saint strength, it was utterly inadequate.
Shi Konglei and the others nodded, retreating at the first instance, glancing at a few Yaksha Race Demon Generals advancing towards the Pill Furnace instead of retreating.
Lizi wielded a small blue sword, emitting a circle of blue flames, not only blocking the Earth Fire but also reversing to devour the flames.
"Shi Kongxuan’s son and his wife actually have such a treasure for protection!"
Shi Konglei was shocked, having no time for further observation, quickly rushing out.
Once outside, they found there were killing arrays outside too, though better than being burned by fire.
"Mom, this treasure from Uncle is indeed powerful, this Earth Fire kills many Demon Generals but can’t do anything to us."
Shi Zhixiang said, proudly looking around.
"Of course, your uncle has advanced to the Great Saint Realm, the treasure he gives, what is a mere Earth Fire?"
Lizi said with pride, "Now you know how great it is to follow your uncle, right?"
"Better than following that old thing, even stingy with an Elixir."
Shi Zhixiang agreed deeply, at the same time disparaging Shi Kongxuan.
Lizi gazed at the Alchemy Furnace and said to Tiezi on the side, "Tie, this Pill Furnace likely contains an Emperor Pill, at the very least a Top Grade Holy Pill."
The Yaksha Race Demon Saint wielding Chi Cha was both resisting the Earth Fire’s scorching and thrusting towards the Alchemy Furnace.
Boom!
The fork had yet to reach the Alchemy Furnace when it was stopped by the array, causing a loud boom.
The nearby flames seemed to boil, intensifying in fury.
The blue radiance shone brightly, actually swallowing the flames, drawing the attention of other Demon Saints.
Yan Cang chuckled lightly, "Interesting, you actually brought a Great Saint’s weapon, no small ambition."
The Yaksha Race Demon Saint was unperturbed, "The Elixirs inside this belong to my Yaksha Race."
"If you have the ability, open it first!"
Shi Yushuo couldn’t stand the Yaksha Race’s arrogance, immediately sneering.
"The array outside the Alchemy Furnace isn’t simple, with just you, it’s impossible to open it."
The Star Race Demon Saint asserted.
Just after saying this, the small blue sword suddenly emitted a circle of brilliance onto the Alchemy Furnace, the array outside surprisingly melting and deteriorating visibly.
Yan Cang’s eyes flickered with flame, sneering, "So it turns out you came prepared, esteemed Great Saint, vying with us juniors for treasures, isn’t that a bit lacking in stature?"
Shi Yushuo and other Demon Saints stared in surprise at the small blue sword.
"Kid, you have keen eyes, even the hidden trace of my Divine Split couldn’t escape your detection, since it is so, I won’t conceal anymore."
A dignified and overbearing voice emerged from the cord, then blue light wriggled, a blue-skinned Yaksha appeared beside the small sword, blue flames flickering around him, overwhelming aura spreading, directly suppressing the Demon Saints present.
Shi Zhixiang was overjoyed, "Uncle."
"Uncle."
Lizi’s face was full of joy, today’s treasures were theirs for sure.
"Greetings, Elder Qingzi."
Tiezi saluted respectfully,
Yan Cang’s face twitched, "A dignified Great Saint, competing with us juniors for treasures, what nerve you have."
"Kid, this isn’t your home turf, be quiet."
Qingzi only gave Yan Cang a glance, the Earth Fire before him suddenly exploded with a bang, pushing back Yan Cang.
"Damn it, this old thing’s fire control ability surpasses mine, not suitable for direct conflict."
Yan Cang cursed internally, retreated honestly without further words.
Shi Yushuo and other Demon Saints changed their expressions and retreated one after another.
Even if this was just a trace of the Great Saint’s Divinity, it wasn’t something they could easily contend with, not to mention there was also a Yaksha Race Demon Saint.
Inside the spatial rift, Shen Wang sensed the commotion, astonished beyond measure, "There’s actually a Great Saint-level means as a trump card, no wonder Shi Zhixiang and his mother dared to come here."
He previously thought these two were courting death by coming here, now it seems they had a powerful person supporting them from behind.
"A Great Saint’s Divine Split? That’s good, I was worried you might be stopped by the killing arrays and unable to obtain the treasures."
Shen Wang smiled meaningfully.
Through Shen Wang’s means Shi Kongxuan could see the situation outside, his expression complicated, "He really broke through to the Great Saint Realm, no wonder their tails are so high, decisively abandoning me."
