Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1124 Black Palace
After a moment, the leader of the Tianxing Sect had already performed countless seals all around the sandy land, and finally stopped.
After using his spiritual sense to scan again and checking that everything was correct, the leader of the Tianxing Sect nodded slightly, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped the ground hard.
As this palm was slapped down, the ground suddenly began to shake far more violently than before, as if a sudden earthquake had occurred, and all the sand and rocks on the ground were shaking violently.
A breath later, a crack as thick as an arm suddenly appeared in the center of the sandy land, and it was spreading rapidly. In an instant, the area exploded, and an ancient palace suddenly rose from the ground!
As the ground shook violently, a huge black palace suddenly emerged from the ground like a bamboo shoot breaking through the earth.
The top that had just been exposed was already a hundred feet in size. As it continued to rise from the ground, the palace that appeared was a thousand feet in size.
However, when Li Xuanfeng tried to use his spiritual sense to perceive the palace, he found that he encountered an extremely strong obstacle. Even with the power of his spiritual sense, he could not penetrate even a little bit.
Seeing this black palace emerging from the ground, Li Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. Before the Tianxing Sect's leader slapped his palm for the last time, even he had no idea that there was such a huge palace hidden underground.
If Li Xuanfeng had not been followed by the leader of the Tianxing Sect, even if he had come here, he would not have discovered this palace at all and would have just passed by here.
Li Xuanfeng suddenly became more certain. The various forces from the Tianchen Star Domain had entered the Tianchen Secret Realm too many times. Although this secret realm seemed to be able to restore and move on its own, the various forces still found ways to leave behind means or marks.
Because of the violent shaking in this place, the monks in the distance also noticed it. Suddenly, many monks rushed here quickly in surprise, suspecting that some good fortune had appeared here.
When the young man who was following the leader of the Tianxing Sect saw the appearance of this palace, his eyes suddenly showed a lot of excitement and were full of anticipation.
"Congratulations, Master, for your good fortune!" the young man immediately flattered respectfully.
This young man’s identity is naturally not simple, as he can follow the leader of the Tianxing Sect in the secret realm. He is one of his disciples.
The leader of the Tianxing Sect shook his head and smiled: "We haven't even entered the palace yet, so it's hard to say whether we can get good fortune."
The young man smiled and said, "Master, your preparations are so thorough, so there will be no mistakes."
The Tianxing Sect leader did not say anything more, but looked at the black palace with a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to go in, just wait outside, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can come back safely!"
Hearing the master's words , the young man's heart trembled. Originally, he wanted to follow the master into the black palace to try his luck and see if he could get some fortune. He didn't expect that even the master was so afraid of this palace.
Since the master said so, he certainly did not have the confidence that he could protect himself in this black palace with his own strength , and instantly dispelled the hope in his heart.
No matter how great the fortune in this black palace is, if one cannot save his life, then one will not be able to enjoy it.
"Disciple obeys your command!" The young man immediately bowed respectfully, then entered the nearby mountains and forests and used a formation to hide himself.
Although he had already become an elder of a very high status in the sect after reaching the Perfection of the Palm Source Realm, he was still extremely respectful to his master who had an extremely powerful cultivation level.
Seeing that his disciples had already hidden themselves, the leader of the Tianxing Sect took out a protective magic weapon and covered his entire body. Then he rushed out and entered the black palace in an instant.
Just a few breaths after the leader of Tianxing Sect entered, three cultivators suddenly rushed here. After observing for a while, they also chose to enter the palace. They were obviously attracted by the vibration just now.
Because the distance was quite far, the three of them did not sense the leader of the Tianxing Sect, and did not know how the black palace appeared. They thought it emerged from the ground on its own.
Li Xuanfeng continued to wait for a moment, during which time he saw six cultivators enter the black palace again. Li Xuanfeng then set off and entered the black palace at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that the leader of the Tianxing Sect was so cautious, Li Xuanfeng naturally would not be careless at all. Before entering, he had taken out a protective magic weapon to cover his whole body to avoid any sudden danger in the palace.
The young man hiding in the mountains and forests saw the nine monks who later entered the palace, but he did not find Li Xuanfeng at all.
When Li Xuanfeng entered the palace, the young man not only did not sense any breath, there was not even a breeze, as if everything was still calm.
The moment he entered the black palace, Li Xuanfeng suddenly saw bright light and an extremely rich aura of spiritual energy, which was completely different from the outside world, as if he had entered another space.
The exterior of the palace is a simple black color, while the interior is full of light and color, and contains extremely rich spiritual energy.
Li Xuanfeng still tried his best to conceal his breath, and at the same time, he scanned with his spiritual sense, looking for the figure of the Tianxing Sect's leader.
Although the space inside the palace was much larger than it appeared from the outside, it did not block the spiritual consciousness. Li Xuanfeng could naturally cover the entire palace with great ease, but he did not see the figure or breath of the Tianxing Sect's leader.
He had not even seen all of the nine cultivators who entered after the Tianxing Sect's leader.
Opposite the palace entrance, there is also a door, but the spiritual consciousness still cannot pass through it, as if there is another space inside.
In front of this door, there are ten statues that look like guards, holding a black sword in their hands. The sword is deep black in color and looks like it is made of very good material.
In front of these ten guard statues, there were three badly broken corpses. They were among the nine cultivators who entered after the leader of the Tianxing Sect. There was also a lot of blood on the ground.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed slightly, and he realized that the positions of the ten guard statues were quite mysterious, as if it was a formation.
These three cultivators were the weakest among the nine cultivators, and it seemed that they were killed by this operating formation.
Li Xuanfeng was not careless. It seemed that the leader of Tianxing Sect and six other cultivators had already passed through the gate and entered the interior.
Li Xuanfeng took a step forward and his figure suddenly appeared within ten feet in front of the ten guard statues.
As Li Xuanfeng entered this range, he suddenly felt a circular light curtain appear around him and spread rapidly, instantly covering him.
At the same time as the light curtain appeared, the ten guard statues moved instantly. There was a strong spiritual power flowing on their bodies, and they slashed towards Li Xuanfeng with long swords in their hands.
Although these ten guards were statues, they were not clumsy at all. On the contrary, they were extremely agile and their moves were extremely fast.
Li Xuanfeng originally wanted to step over the formation in one step, but he was instantly enveloped by the power of the formation, causing his body to be suddenly restricted by the formation for a moment and unable to step over it directly.
Although Li Xuanfeng's hands and feet could move freely, his body seemed to be trapped in space for a moment and he could not move from there.
At the moment when Li Xuanfeng was restricted in movement, the long swords of the ten guard statues were approaching him. Suddenly, a large amount of flames appeared around Li Xuanfeng and suddenly exploded in all directions.
Li Xuanfeng mobilized the origin of fire, and instantly formed a powerful storm, which spread rapidly in all directions, immediately knocking the ten guard statues back rapidly.
However, although these guard statues retreated uncontrollably, they did not collapse, and there was not even the slightest crack on their bodies.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes suddenly flashed. He didn't expect that these ten guard statues were so strong that they could even withstand the storm he formed using the origin of fire.
You know, although Li Xuanfeng simply used the origin of fire to form a fire storm, its power had easily reached the peak of the middle stage of the Duyuan Realm. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Duyuan Realm could not withstand it.
It seems that the material used for these ten guard statues is extremely good, at least it is the top-grade material of the Duyuan Realm, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand the fire storm unleashed by Li Xuanfeng.
The ten guard statues were hit by the impact and stopped when they crashed into the light curtain of the formation. Then they suddenly rushed out again and continued to slash at Li Xuanfeng with black swords.
Li Xuanfeng knew that these ten guard statues were not living creatures, but were controlled by the formation and would not stop unless he destroyed the formation.
When he cast the fire storm, Li Xuanfeng felt that the formation's restriction on him had disappeared. He suddenly took a step forward and rushed towards the gate at an astonishing speed.
Li Xuanfeng did not want to get entangled with this formation any longer. It would take a lot of time to destroy it, and it could help him block most of the cultivators who would enter the palace later.
As for these guard statues, if the materials are worth collecting, you can collect them when you come back.
Li Xuanfeng was extremely fast. Before the ten guard statues could get close to him, he had already turned into a stream of light, rushed into the gate and disappeared.
As Li Xuanfeng disappeared, the ten guard statues suddenly lost their target like headless flies, and stood still in place without moving.
Then the formation flashed, the light curtain disappeared, the ten guard statues returned to their previous positions, and the surging spiritual power fluctuations also disappeared.
Although Li Xuanfeng passed through this formation with great ease, the power of this formation should not be underestimated, and it is enough to block the perfection of the Palm Source Realm.
The ten guard statues are extremely hard, and even the top-level strong men in the Duyuan Realm may not be able to do it. The cultivators who come here don’t have to expect to break the statues and break through the formation.
Moreover, the speed and power of the ten statues' attacks have reached the perfection of the Palm Source Realm. When they attack together, ordinary Palm Source Realm perfect cultivators cannot resist at all.
Although this formation can break through at the fastest speed after repelling ten guard statues, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator who has reached perfection in the Palm Source Realm to repel it. Under the siege of ten statues, it is extremely easy to be killed.
Among the nine cultivators who entered after the leader of Tianxing Sect, only three were at the Duyuan Realm, and the other six were at the late and perfect Zhangyuan Realm.
Li Xuanfeng guessed that, except for the cultivator in the Duyuan Realm, the other six people were waiting for a few more cultivators to arrive before breaking through the formation together, but three corpses were still left behind.
