"Can this kind of talisman array be cracked?"
Looking at the tall weapon rack in front of him, he frowned and asked.
He did not want to waste too much time here. As time passed, the beastmasters would definitely become more and more anxious.
The strange program did not answer Yang Tian immediately. Instead, after a few minutes of calculation, it said, "With the information I have now, it is impossible to crack this kind of talisman array.
However, it should be possible to find its loophole. "
After the strange program finished speaking, it began to calculate again.
This was actually good news for Yang Tian, because the strange program was finally not as helpless as before when it came to talisman arrays constructed from ancient runes.
During the process of the strange program's calculation, strange halos appeared in Yang Tian's mind.
These were the simulated images that the strange program displayed during the process of calculation.
After countless collaborations, Yang Tian's understanding of runes had improved greatly. Although these halos looked very mysterious, Yang Tian could understand the meaning behind them.
After a few minutes, Yang Tian threw the blue saber in his hand, and it landed on the fourth weapon rack.
Immediately, Yang Tian slapped the weapon rack with his palm.
With a loud bang, the fourth weapon rack was smashed into pieces.
Amidst the sputtering yellow gravel, Yang Tian grabbed the handle of the blue saber and slashed at the fifth weapon rack.
A powerful saber aura was emitted from the blue saber, and it whistled through the air.
The invisible and domineering saber aura smashed through the remaining five weapon racks, turning them into piles of gravel.
The talisman arrays on the nine weapon racks were one. After six of them were broken, the remaining three weapon racks suddenly emitted bursts of creaking sounds.
The weapons placed on the three weapon racks were actually very heavy.
Especially the red stone axe. Although it did not look impressive, it was the heaviest. With a bang, the weapon rack on which it was placed was smashed into pieces.
Immediately after, the weapon rack on which the whip and bone hammer were placed was also shattered.
The entire Unsheathing Palace also changed.
After the talisman array was destroyed by Yang Tian, the entire palace slowly disappeared, just like the previous Ethereal Palace. In the end, only a vast platform was left.
This palace was also formed by a talisman array.
Yang Tian glanced around, and then his gaze landed on the huge stone axe.
The red stone axe was stuck in the yellow gravel. After the entire palace disappeared, a crack appeared on its surface. It looked like it could break at any time.
Could it be that this stone axe was really carved from a piece of red rock?
With doubts, Yang Tian walked in front of the stone axe and touched it with the blue saber.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the stone axe exploded, emitting a strong red light.
Yang Tian instinctively.
After the red light disappeared, a bright red giant axe appeared in front of Yang Tian.
Compared to its original size, the entire axe had shrunk by half. Its whole body was bright, as if it was carved from a large piece of ruby. The handle and the body of the axe were covered with dense runes, as well as some mysterious patterns.
At the same time, a sharp aura was being emitted from the huge red axe. It gave off the feeling that if one were to hold it, they would be able to chop through everything.
Yang Tian looked at the red giant axe, bent down, and grabbed the handle, wanting to lift it out of the gravel.
This giant axe was really heavy. Yang Tian held it with one hand, and it felt like he was pulling up a mountain.
The moment Yang Tian grabbed the handle of the axe, a strong spiritual body entered his body, wanting to enter his mind.
With his previous experience, Yang Tian was already prepared.
Powerhouses did not want to die easily. In the moment before they died, their strong resentment could allow a part of their spiritual body to remain in their bones, or in objects that they had once used.
These things, weak creatures could not touch. Once controlled by this spiritual body, they would be affected by the spiritual body and become delirious. In the worst case, the spiritual body would be completely devoured and completely die.
Before this remnant of the spiritual body could enter Yang Tian's mind, it was blocked by the energy released by Fifteen. It wrapped around the spiritual body and pulled it into the saber.
The whole process was not sloppy.
If it were not for the existence of Fifteen, this strange weapon, Yang Tian would not have dared to touch the things left behind by these powerhouses.
Strangely, after the spiritual body in the axe was swallowed by Fifteen, the giant axe in Yang Tian's hand suddenly became many times lighter. It was easily lifted out of the gravel by Yang Tian.
At the same time, the color of the giant axe had an obvious change. Compared to before, it became much dimmer.
Yang Tian looked at the giant axe. Suddenly, his heart moved and he began to pour energy into the giant axe.
With the replenishment of energy, the color of the giant axe finally began to slowly recover. In the end, it became a blood-red color. In the end, it even released a blood-red light.
Holding this giant blood-red axe, Yang Tian was also enveloped by the red light. It made him look like a demon god that had walked out of hell.
The talisman array on a spiritual weapon could also affect the mind of the user.
At this time, Yang Tian had an impulse to destroy everything in front of him.
Although this was the case, Yang Tian became more and more interested in this kind of weapon. With strong determination, he engraved the violent impulse and continued to pour energy into the giant axe.
After a while, when Yang Tian could no longer endure it and was not willing to endure it anymore, he threw away the giant blue sword and held the axe with both hands. He slashed at the third palace that was higher in front of him. It was about a thousand meters away.
Yang Tian was not clear about the power of this axe. Because his emotions were affected, he wished that this axe could split the palace in front of him.
A blood-red light was emitted from the axe. After leaving the axe, it formed the shape of a cross and rushed toward the palace in front of him that he still did not know the name of.
As the cross flew, it became bigger and bigger.
Boom!
This huge cross quickly hit the palace in front of him and smashed it into pieces.
The palace in front of him was also formed by the energy of the runes. After it was smashed, there was a fluctuation in the space and it quickly returned to its original state.
Yang Tian was not surprised by this situation. The energy from the giant axe only interrupted the illusory energy that formed the palace for a moment. It did not really destroy the talisman array that formed the illusion.
After using the giant axe once, Yang Tian had a basic understanding of it.
Although this weapon was extraordinary, there was still a gap between it and the giant god's blue sword.
Although its destructive power was strong, the amount of energy that could be stored in the axe could not be compared to the blue saber. In other words, even if Yang Tian used all his strength, the power that he could unleash would only be slightly stronger than the previous attack.
The energy that the giant god's blue sword could hold was something that Yang Tian could not estimate.
After the strange program read the runes on the axe, it could not find the name of the giant axe. Yang Tian casually named it "Blood Axe" and then threw it into his storage bracelet.
Yang Tian's weapon of choice was a sword. He put away this weapon and planned to give it to his friends to use in the future.
There were also two other weapons, the whip and the bone mace. Yang Tian was not even interested in testing the power of these two weapons. After erasing the remnant souls within them, he kept them into his storage bracelet as well.
The key to Unsheathing Hall's talisman array was the weapon rack. Since the weapon rack was destroyed, the talisman array could no longer operate.
After putting away the three weapons, Yang Tian did not immediately go to the third palace. Instead, he rummaged through the "ruins" of Unsheathing Hall for a while. In the end, it was the Little Blue Dragon's sharp eyes that found an inconspicuous yellow scroll under a piece of rubble and handed it to Yang Tian.
There were also many runes on the scroll. The strange program translated it to Yang Tian as a "Weapon Talisman Scroll". There were not many runes on it, but it described many strange weapons. Unfortunately, it was only an introduction. There were no combat techniques for using various weapons on it, nor were there any ways to crack them.
This time, without the strange program's reminder, Yang Tian flipped the talisman over. Similarly, on the back, there was also a mountain river diagram. After the strange program's calculations, this diagram and the mountain river diagram on the back of the Beauty Talisman could be combined.
Moreover, with this diagram, the strange program calculated that a complete diagram should be divided into five parts.
Yang Tian could not help but wonder if the five palaces here were formed by the talisman arrays on the five scrolls. On each scroll, there was a mountain river diagram …
Filled with curiosity, Yang Tian went to the third palace.
The five palaces, each larger than the previous one, were also higher in height.
After the strange program translated the third palace, Yang Tian called it the "Body Preserving Palace".
The "body" here was not the body of a living person, but the body of a corpse.
In the palace, there were thousands of corpses.
Their upper bodies were tied with red ropes made of an unknown material, and they were suspended in the air.
The stele outside the palace stated that those who were qualified to be placed in the Body Preserving Palace after death were the subordinates of the Zhao Ji Monarch.
The Zhao Ji Monarch Island was destroyed, and so were countless subordinates of the Zhao Ji Monarch.
The Zhao Ji Monarch was once one of the most powerful creatures in the universe. Naturally, the combat power of his subordinates was also very strong.
These corpses, no matter what race they were, were all in human form, big and small.
The big ones were more than ten meters tall, and the small ones were about the size of an ordinary person.
The corpses placed in the Body Preserving Palace were surrounded by special talisman arrays, and their bodies were still as fresh as when they died.
At the same time, these corpses still retained the expression they had when they died.
After entering the palace, an air current surged out of nowhere, and the corpses in the palace started to sway.
The angle at which the corpses were suspended was also specially designed, with their faces facing downwards. As the thousands of corpses swayed, Yang Tian saw thousands of faces filled with anger, fear, and even pain that were completely distorted.
If an ordinary person came here and saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death.
As for Yang Tian, he only felt extremely uncomfortable.
One step, two steps, three steps …
After entering the palace, Yang Tian slowly walked toward the door at the back of the palace.
As he walked, the corpses that were suspended in the palace began to descend bit by bit.
Just as Yang Tian reached the center of the palace, a corpse's feet touched the ground.
And this corpse was less than ten meters behind Yang Tian.
At this time, Yang Tian stopped.
This was the corpse of a woman, and she was five meters tall. To an ordinary person, she would be considered a giant.
The woman's appearance was not bad. Her face looked like a Western woman from Earth. She wore a black tight-fitting outfit that revealed her curves. As soon as her feet touched the ground, the red rope that was suspending the corpse loosened.
Then, something strange happened. The rope loosened, but the corpse was still standing. It looked like she had suddenly come back to life.
However, this corpse did not give off any signs of life.
The Little Blue Dragon was holding a leaf from the Tree of World and eating it. When he saw this scene, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Dragon Flames.
Boom!
The golden Dragon Flames instantly enveloped the female corpse.
This time, the Little Blue Dragon's Dragon Flames had finally come into play.
The corpse that was enveloped by the Dragon Flames let out a sizzling sound, and at the same time, black smoke began to rise.
After a few blinks of an eye, when the Dragon Flames were extinguished, the female corpse had already been burned into black residue. However, there was an additional cloud of black smoke that was condensed in the air.
There was an air current in the palace that could blow the corpse away. Normal smoke and dust would be blown away. But this cloud of black smoke, although it remained where it was, showed no signs of dissipating.
Yang Tian suddenly turned around, and a red light shot out from his hand.
Fifteen easily passed through the black smoke, circled in the air, and returned to Yang Tian's hand.
This strange cloud of black smoke was not a spiritual body. Fifteen could not make it dissipate.
"Xiao Long, this looks like … Death Miasma!"
Yang Tian looked at the cloud of black smoke and said calmly.
As soon as Yang Tian opened his mouth to speak, the cloud of black smoke suddenly floated toward Yang Tian.
The Little Blue Dragon stuffed half of the Tree of World's leaf into its mouth, and then spat it out.
This time, the Little Blue Dragon did not spit out golden Dragon Flames, but a cloud of green smoke.
As soon as the black smoke came into contact with the green smoke that the Little Blue Dragon spat out, they instantly merged into one and disappeared.
"Xiao Long, well done!"
Seeing that the black smoke had disappeared, Yang Tian smiled and praised the Little Blue Dragon.
Yang Tian had not thought of using the Tree of World's leaf to break the Death Miasma.
The Death Miasma represented death. It was a special kind of energy, while the Tree of World was full of life and had a powerful life force.
This powerful life force could naturally break the Death Miasma.
The Death Miasma here was clearly different from the Death Miasma that Yang Tian had seen in the natural talisman array space. This was probably also the Zhaoji Monarch's masterpiece.
What Yang Tian did not know was that this Death Miasma was very strange. Once it came into contact with the physical body of a living being, it would disappear.
It was as if this Death Miasma did not have any harmful power.
However, in reality, it had silently merged into the spiritual body, causing the spiritual body's lifespan to greatly decrease.
There was another thing that Yang Tian did not know, and that was that these corpses could not be destroyed so easily.
A female corpse fell to the ground, followed by more behind.
When Yang Tian stepped into the palace and activated the talisman mechanism, all the corpses that were hanging here were put down.
When the Death Miasma dissipated, there were already countless corpses standing around Yang Tian.
These corpses stood there quietly. The corpses that had their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes and stared at Yang Tian.
While he was not afraid of these corpses, Yang Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many corpses.
Looking at the door to the back of the palace, Yang Tian took a step forward.
At the same time that Yang Tian took a step forward, the corpses also took a step forward. Their steps were very stiff.
"Pfft!"
Yang Tian raised his sword and slashed.
An invisible Sword Qi shot out from the blue sword and slashed at a corpse in front of him. With a series of "pfft, pfft, pfft." The Sword Qi pierced through the corpse and only stopped when it hit the wall.
Strangely, after being hit by the Sword Qi, these corpses were not affected at all.
This was something that Yang Tian could not understand.
Logically speaking, these corpses should have been blown to pieces by the Sword Qi.
Unless they could absorb the destructive power of the Sword Qi.
Next, Yang Tian slashed a few more times. The result was the same as the first slash. Moreover, in the process of slashing, these corpses took another step forward and approached Yang Tian.
"I've really encountered a ghost …"
Yang Tian smiled bitterly and said to himself. He took a few steps forward and slashed at a male corpse that was three meters tall.
Yang Tian did not use much strength in this slash. The blue sword slashed down from the top of the corpse's head. After passing through the corpse, it hit the ground. With a "bang", the stone tiles on the ground were shattered.
Although this corpse had been pierced by the heavy sword, it was not cut in half. If it were not for the clothes on its body being torn apart and falling off from the corpse, Yang Tian would have thought that it was just an illusion.
Obviously, Sword Qi and slashing with the sword could not destroy these corpses.
With a thought, a black sphere appeared in Yang Tian's hand. With a raise of his hand, Yang Tian controlled the black hole and made it land on the head of one of the corpses.
The black hole's powerful suction force immediately sucked the corpse into the black hole and ground it into dust.
Suddenly, Yang Tian's eyes widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.
This was because after the corpse was destroyed by the black hole, it still released a wisp of Death Qi.
This wisp of Death Qi made Yang Tian feel the extreme presence of death.
He could not allow this kind of Death Qi to enter the energy world!
With a thought, Yang Tian's black hole chain suddenly reversed and ejected the wisp of Death Qi.
Then, Yang Tian took out a leaf from the World Tree from his storage bracelet. He grasped it in his hand and threw it at the wisp of Death Qi …
The energy released by the World Tree leaf quickly dissipated the Death Qi.
"Xiao Long, burn them!"
Yang Tian said exasperatedly.
The Little Blue Dragon had been unable to hold back for a long time. When it heard Yang Tian's order, it immediately transformed into a huge dragon and opened its mouth. An endless stream of dragon flames poured out of its mouth.
Soon, the entire palace was filled with golden dragon flames.
Dense sizzling sounds could be heard from the dragon flames.
After a few seconds, when the dragon flames dissipated, not a single corpse could be seen in the vast palace.
However, a black ball of fog had appeared in the middle of the palace.
At some unknown time, countless wisps of Death Qi had condensed into a ball.
