Archimedes - Chapter40

Qin Yu felt that the scene in front of him had changed once again. If the hills were desolate and the Camouflage Array was a paradise, then the scene in front of him was hell.

Before he could see the surroundings clearly, he could smell the thick stench of blood. When he saw the densely packed skeletons in front of him, Qin Yu's heart jumped violently.

The space here was light purple and lightning flashed in the sky from time to time. Thunder roared in the air and the surrounding scene was like an ancient battlefield. The ground was full of potholes and skeletons were everywhere. Broken blades and swords were innumerable. Among the corpses, there were many huge Vicious Beasts that looked like mountains. There were also some Vicious Beasts that Qin Yu had never heard of before. Most of the skeletons were just skeletons, but there were also many that had not decomposed.

Thinking about the Ancestral Ape that died in the depths of the Beast Graveyard, Qin Yu was sure that the Ancestral Ape must have escaped from here and died in the hills.

"Ancient Suppression Demon?" Qin Yu carefully thought about the words on the broken stone tablet and the broken stone tablet. A complete stone tablet would not only have these three words.

But no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure it out. Looking at Ling Yao who was slowly walking on the skeletons, Qin Yu continued to follow her.

About an hour later.

Qin Yu stood on the head of a huge Vicious Beast skeleton and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Even though he had seen a lot in his previous life, he could not help but be stunned.

He saw that in the distance, there was a huge mountain made of skeletons. This mountain was almost three hundred feet tall. From afar, it looked like a pillar that supported the heavens and earth. Above the mountain of skeletons, there was a ball of purple and white flames, emitting light that illuminated this hellish space.

He could vaguely see that the purple flame was the core and the white flame was the flame. Above the flame, lightning flashed from time to time, like rivers flowing into the sea and converging into the purple flame. There was also a faint sound of thunder.

"This … This … With lightning as the core and the flames of heaven and earth as the flame, is this the fire of thunder?"

Qin Yu looked up at the thunder and lightning in the sky and sucked in a deep breath. As he felt the faint sound of thunder in the air, Qin Yu was shocked to the extreme.

He had heard of the Fire of Thunder from ancient books, but he did not expect to see it here!

The conditions for the birth of this kind of flame were extremely harsh. It could only be born in places with the densest thunder energy. As for the specifics, Qin Yu didn't know.

However, according to the records in the ancient books, lightning and even Yang energy contained a trace of the energy of chaos, and it could suppress all evil in the world. Moreover, the flames of lightning were formed from the energy of lightning that had reached the pinnacle.

Wait a minute …

Could it be that … this lightning fire was used to suppress some powerful devil?

Recalling the words on the stone tablet, Qin Yu felt his scalp go numb. He was even more certain that there was an extremely terrifying demon here, which was why it was suppressed by the thunderous flames.

Looking at the slowly advancing Ling Yao, Qin Yu fiercely jumped down and chased after her with all his might.

It must be the dying Dao sound produced by the suppressed demon that resonated with Ling Yao's Natural Daoist Physique. Once the demon absorbed the power of Ling Yao's Natural Daoist Physique, it would be difficult to suppress the thunder fire. At that time, the Green Lotus Heaven Domain and even the entire Trapped Dragon Star would be finished.

"Ling Yao, wake up!"

Qin Yu grabbed Ling Yao and shouted loudly. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was shaken off by the aura qi emitted from Ling Yao's body.

"What should I do?" Qin Yu took a deep breath. With his cultivation, he was unable to stop Ling Yao.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Yu rushed toward the mountain of corpses in front of him.

Since there was a thunderous flame, even if a peerless great demon was suppressed, this demon should be restricted everywhere. Therefore, Qin Yu could wait for an opportunity to make his move.

Two hours later.

Qin Yu climbed to the top of the mountain of corpses. There was a huge empty field at the top of the mountain.

In the center of the empty field, there were five skeletons sitting cross-legged. In the center of the skeletons, there was a small bronze pagoda that was as tall as an adult. The small pagoda looked particularly strange. It was actually formed by densely packed bronze handprints. If one looked carefully, these handprints were actually formed by countless small handprints!

These handprints were emitting a golden glow, as if a large bronze bell was covering this place!

And a dark purple lightning dragon that was several meters long was coiling around the small bronze pagoda. The dragon head just happened to be submerged into the thunderous flame. In other words, the core of the thunderous flame was this Little Ray Dragon!

Through the bronze handprints and the purple lightning dragon, Qin Yu could vaguely see a figure that was faintly discernible within the small bronze pagoda.

When Qin Yu was staring at the small bronze pagoda's shadow, all the hairs on Qin Yu's body suddenly stood up. He looked at the figure in fear. It was as if he could feel two gazes looking at him through the bronze handprints.

Qin Yu's face was pale, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.

What kind of expert was this person?

Being suppressed here for god knows how many years and still not dying?

Qin Yu looked at the five skeletons and was extremely shocked in his heart. These five people were probably resonated here by the dying Dao voice, and Ling Yao's ending would definitely be exactly the same as these five people.

Turning his head to look at Ling Yao who was still three kilometers away, Qin Yu's eyelids drooped slightly, and his mind was calm. Suddenly, he saw a few huge footprints in front of him. These footprints were walking step by step towards the small bronze bell.

Staring at these footprints, Qin Yu thought of the dead ancestral ape, and thoughts flew in his mind. He faintly felt that these footprints were probably left behind by the ancestral ape. From the deep footprints, the ancestral ape seemed to have endured a huge pressure when walking towards the small pagoda.

But...

Qin Yu stood here and actually only felt a little bit of pressure. It could be said that it didn't exist.

Could it be because of his cultivation?

Could it be that the higher the cultivation, the heavier the pressure he had to endure?

That ancestral ape was at the Dao Realm, so he couldn't move an inch here!

If that was the case...

Qin Yu quickly pondered in his mind and looked at Ling Yao behind him. He was struggling incomparably in his heart. Ling Yao's cultivation was much higher than his, and he was simply unable to stop it. Therefore, the only way to save Ling Yao was to kill the phantom in the small pagoda!

But how could he kill an existence that even the Fire of Lightning couldn't erase and could only suppress?

"Wait a minute, is this Fire of Lightning … a type of force of heaven and earth?"

Qin Yu stared at the Little Ray Dragon and suddenly thought of the Seed of Nirvana.

"The Seed of Nirvana needs to absorb the force of heaven and earth before it can undergo nirvana … And the force of heaven and earth is as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. It requires great fortune to encounter it. If I don't collect it this time, I don't know when I'll encounter it in the future." Qin Yu was hesitant in his heart.

That ancestral ape must have died because it came into contact with the Fire of Lightning. What would happen if he came into contact with it with his cultivation?

Qin Yu turned his head to look below and realized that Ling Yao was already climbing the mountain of skeletons!

He didn't have much time to think.

After a long time, Qin Yu clenched his teeth and tentatively moved forward. As he got closer and closer to the small pagoda, the phantom in the small pagoda actually started to materialize.

In the end, all the hairs on Qin Yu's body stood up. He was almost certain that the phantom in the small pagoda was staring at him.

In an instant, the pressure Qin Yu felt suddenly increased, and his steps became more and more difficult.

Fifteen minutes later.

Qin Yu was only thirty meters away from the small pagoda, and Ling Yao had also climbed up the mountain of skeletons.

The lightning dragon that used its body to suppress the phantom and its head as the core of the flame seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Ling Yao as it let out a dragon's roar. An ancient voice resounded in Qin Yu's mind. "Stop …"

At the same time, the phantom completely materialized and formed a black-robed figure that sat cross-legged in the small pagoda. A pair of eyes that were filled with demonic aura could be faintly seen excitedly staring at Ling Wei who was slowly walking over.

Just as Qin Yu had guessed, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the pressure. Ling Yao's footsteps had obviously slowed down, and her speed was even slower than Qin Yu's.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, looked at the lightning dragon, and said in a low voice, "Senior, I can't stop it!"

"Borrow … your … hand … to touch … the blood of the devil. You … must not let it absorb the Immortal Origin Force … Great danger!" The ancient voice resounded again.

Qin Yu's mind shook and he was extremely shocked.

The small pagoda was actually filled with devil blood?

A drop of blood actually needed to be suppressed by the Fire of Lightning?

How terrifying was this devil?

And the lightning dragon wanted to use its own hand to erase this drop of devil blood. Then … would the Seed of Nirvana be able to absorb the power of lightning it contained?

Just as Qin Yu was hesitating, Ling Yao's speed suddenly increased and she actually chased after him forcefully.

Qin Yu was slightly shocked in his heart, but he also faced the powerful pressure of the devil blood and slowly advanced.

"Quick!" The lightning dragon's voice became hurried.

Qin Yu's mind was spinning rapidly. There was already no time for him to hesitate. There were only two outcomes he had to face. The first was to erase the devil blood and he would also die. The second was that after erasing the devil blood, the Seed of Nirvana would absorb the power of lightning. This way, he would be able to save Ling Yao.

"Seed of Nirvana, it's up to you!" Qin Yu secretly said in his heart as he quickened his pace.

Ling Yao's speed was even faster. The two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed towards the small pagoda.

"Not good!"

Qin Yu was suddenly shocked as he realized that Ling Yao was already beside him. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the instant he touched the lightning dragon, Qin Yu felt an ancient aura fiercely rush into his body. A powerful force shuttled through every part of Qin Yu's body, and a burst of residual heat came from his Dantian, but Qin Yu didn't have the time to check.

At this instant.

The small bronze pagoda ferociously exploded, and countless handprints were annihilated. Among them, one of the handprints struck Qin Yu's right palm.

And that shadow fiercely shot towards Ling Yao.

At this instant, Qin Yu suddenly raised his left hand and roared in a low voice, "No!"

The shadow was caught off guard and collided with Qin Yu's left hand.

"Bang!"

"Rumble!"

"No!"

A mournful roar was accompanied by the sound of thunder, causing Qin Yu's ears to buzz. His internal organs were almost displaced, and after violently spurting out blood, Qin Yu directly fainted.

While he was unconscious, Qin Yu vaguely heard bursts of explosions, and his body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He even heard the sound of the wind...

At the same time.

Buzzing sounds rang out in the various heavens of the four major stars. Countless experts heard it, and what shocked them was that they could faintly hear mournful roars within the buzzing sounds.
