The giant stone was egg-shaped, with colorful patterns on it. Counting carefully, you could see it was composed of six different colored patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
As soon as it appeared, not only was Long Chen stunned, but even the divine envoy and the powerful members of the Fate-Hunting Clan were stunned, because they had never seen such a thing before.
That palace was the treasure vault of the Fate Hunter clan. The treasury had two keys: one for unlocking, the other for destruction.
This is a tradition of the Fate-Hunting clan, and also a tactic used by major powers. If their sect is destroyed, they'd rather lose the treasures in the treasury along with them than let their enemies go unpunished.
But the palace was destroyed, and a huge six-colored divine stone suddenly appeared. Everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened.
"Nothing to be surprised about. That old guy disguised his presence. Tch, what nonsense, just taking off your pants and talking nonsense." Dragonbone Xie Yue said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Long Chen realized that the Qiankun Cauldron had already disappeared from the soul space. It turned out that the six-colored divine stone was actually a disguise for the cauldron. It seemed it still cared about its reputation—if it did something bad, it couldn't leave a name.
The Qiankun Cauldron refuses to reveal its true form; it is only responsible for protecting the treasury. Seeing this, Long Chen felt reassured and waved his hand: "
Brothers, go all out and kill us! The battle will be settled in half an incense stick's time."
"Kill!"
At this moment, the Dragonblood Legion had completely sealed off the small world, leaving no worries behind. The Dragonblood warriors all struck out one after another.
"Puff puff puff..."
Although the Fate-Hunting Clan possessed powerful invisibility abilities, as soon as Xia Chen entered, he detonated a blood-red talisman, and translucent figures appeared in the void.
This was Xia Chen's anti-invisibility talisman for the Invisibility Technique research targeting the Fatehunter clan. Before they entered, Xia Chen had already used tens of thousands of invisibility talismans to envelop the entire Moyun Illusion Sea, killing all the visible and hidden sentries outside.
"Ssshh!"
At that moment, blood light splattered from afar. Yue Zifeng slashed down with his sword, and the divine envoy's arm was sent off. Although he had a sharp sword, it could not block Yue Zifeng's sharp sword move.
Even Saint King-level experts were no match for Yue Zifeng; assassins were thoroughly suppressed by the swordsman.
"Zifeng, spare his life. I want to ask him something." Long Chen said.
"Ask ¥%#..."
The divine envoy's sword-wielding arm was severed by Yue Zifeng. Realizing he was doomed, he cursed at Long Chen:
"You little bastard, you're just like your dead father. Just wait, the Lifehunter Clan will tear you to pieces sooner or later."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the divine envoy's aura surged rapidly. Yue Zifeng retreated rapidly, and the divine envoy's body exploded with a thunderous crash—he actually self-destructed.
The self-destruction of a Saint King expert was earth-shattering. It was his strongest strike. Unfortunately, this strike didn't harm Yue Zifeng in the slightest, but instead pulverized countless Lifehunter clan experts.
"Oh my... Long
Chen suddenly slapped his thigh. Only now did he remember Qian Feng. This guy was clearly a coward, and maybe he could get some useful information from him.
But when he searched, he found Qian Feng's presence had vanished, the small world sealed off, and not even a fly could fly out. There was no way to escape—probably someone had taken him down.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the battle was over, and the entire small world was shattered to pieces, nearly exploding.
When Long Chen and the others withdrew from the small world, Long Chen still left behind a World-Destroying Fire Lotus strike within it, so he wouldn't have to worry about anyone slipping through the cracks.
"Disperse immediately, stick to the original plan, and wait for the enemy." Long Chen issued the order, and everyone vanished from the spot.
But after waiting for several hours, there was no movement around. Guo Ran and the others looked at each other in confusion:
"This isn't what we expected—no one is coming to help?"
"Forget it, let's retreat. Looks like they won't fall for it." Long Chen sighed.
The Fate-Hunting Clan is as cunning as foxes; they must have their own way of calling for help. If they don't know elsewhere, the Blood Kill Sect will definitely receive the news.
However, the fact that the Blood Kill Sect members have not shown up for so long means they are already alert, knowing that a trap has likely been set here, and may even know everything that is happening here.
Long Chen told everyone how he had somehow managed to sneak in. Hearing how cautious the Fate Hunter Clan was, Guo Ran couldn't help but say, "
The Fate Hunter Clan is really cunning. They're very hard to deal with!"
"Guo Ran, you should be interested in this thing." As Yue Zifeng spoke, he tossed a massive crossbow to Guo Ran.
"Whoosh."
Guo Ran reached out to take the crossbow. It felt cold and extremely heavy in his grip. If Guo Ran hadn't fused with the Qianlong essence blood, he wouldn't have been able to lift it. Even now, holding the crossbow, his hands were still trembling, unable to maintain balance.
"This is that old guy's thing. Being stared at by it made my hair stand on end. This thing is very dangerous." Yue Zifeng said.
Yue Zifeng blocked the divine envoy. The envoy immediately tried to attack Yue Zifeng with a divine crossbow, but Yue Zifeng struck immediately, stabbing his wrist. The sword energy forced him to let go, and Yue Zifeng snatched it away in one swift motion.
"Wow, why is it so heavy? That hometown says it can't possibly be that strong." Guo Ran said in shock.
Long Chen explained, "This is the Life-Hunting Divine Crossbow, the deadly weapon of the Life-Hunting clan. I was shot by an arrow, and honestly, it didn't feel good."
The Life-Hunting Crossbow emits a special fluctuation of vital energy, which must be activated and driven by the unique bloodline power of the Life-Hunting Clan. "
Activate it with bloodline power?"
Thinking of this, Guo Ran's eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Xia Chen, and the two exchanged a smile. Clearly, they were thinking about the same thing.
"Boss, ... the treasure vault?" Guo Ran asked.
"Whoosh!"
Amidst the distortion of the void, a ten-zhang square box appeared. The box was neither gold nor iron, but carved from stone.
"Wow, such a huge World Stone." Guo Ran and the others were startled when they saw the box.
The World Stone is an extremely precious material. Long Chen and the others all have it, but the World Stone they have is only palm-sized. Such a large World Stone is a first time seeing it.
"The Fate Hunter Clan's treasury is right here, but there's a seal from the Fate Hunter Clan on it. If you don't know how to open it, the treasury will self-destruct immediately." Long Chen said.
"That's nothing to me." Xia Chen smiled slightly, carefully examined the seal on it, then took out paper and pen and drew a talisman on the spot.
When the talisman was stuck to the World Stone, it trembled slightly, revealing a portal. When Xia Chen pushed open the door, the scene before them made everyone gasp in shock.
