Swoosh!
Within the basin that was shrouded in darkness, Mu Chen's figure darted across. In the next instant, his figure abruptly came to a halt. The tip of his foot tapped on the ground and he shot back dozens of feet.
Bang!
The stone fist that contained a frightening amount of power smashed towards him like a meteorite. When it landed on the spot where he was previously standing, cracks instantly spread out on the ground.
Mu Chen stabilized his footsteps as his Spiritual Energy surged and he shot forward once again, passing through the gap between the Stone Guardians.
At this moment, he had already entered the depths of the basin. Hence, the surrounding Stone Guardians had become increasingly concentrated and their attacks were incomparably ferocious. Even Mu Chen did not dare to face them head-on and could only take advantage of their openings to charge forward.
However, this charge only lasted for a few minutes before it was cut off. This was because six Stone Guardians had surrounded him in front of him. Their footsteps shook the earth, and their stone fists tore through the air as they ferociously smashed towards him.
Mu Chen's brows tightly knitted together as he looked at the blockade that blocked off all his escape routes. Shortly after, he waved his sleeve and the Stone Guardian that he had subdued previously appeared. Like a stone shield, it stood in front of him.
Bang!
Six stone fists that contained a frightening amount of power smashed against the Stone Guardian. In an instant, cracks started to appear on the body of the Stone Guardian. In the end, it completely exploded with a bang.
When Mu Chen saw this, he instantly felt a little heartache. This was an excellent fighter. He never imagined that it would be destroyed so easily. This loss was a little too great.
"I wonder if the White Dragon Token will have any effect on the Stone Guardians here?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Mu Chen's mind. He had thought of this before.
However, these Stone Guardians were too crazy. Hence, he did not dare to rashly try it. He was afraid that he would be surrounded by the Stone Guardians like before.
But right now, the situation was extremely bad and he could not care too much about it.
When he thought of this, he no longer hesitated.
With a clench of his hand, the White Dragon Silver Plate appeared in a flash. Activating his Spiritual Energy, the silver plate flickered with a faint radiance.
When the White Dragon Silver Plate appeared, Mu Chen noticed that the Stone Guardians in front of him suddenly froze. However, before he could rejoice, the Stone Guardians attacked again.
"Is it useless?"
Mu Chen retreated hastily, a trace of disappointment flashing through his eyes.
As expected, he could no longer use the White Dragon Silver Plate to control the Stone Guardians.
However, it was not completely useless.
At least when the White Dragon Silver Plate appeared.
The attacks of the Stone Guardians were somewhat stiff, which meant that the White Dragon Silver Card was a White Dragon Silver Card.
It had some effect on them.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he desperately circulated his Spiritual Energy.
As he poured his energy into the White Dragon Silver Plate, the light on the White Dragon Silver Plate became increasingly intense. In the end, it enveloped his entire body.
From afar, he looked like a ball of blurry white light. It was impossible to see his movements clearly.
When Mu Chen's body was enveloped by the white light, Mu Chen immediately saw that the six Stone Guardians attacking him had finally stopped their attacks. Their scarlet stone eyes seemed to flicker with a vacant luster.
"The White Dragon Silver Plate seems to be interfering with the Stone Guardians' senses!"
When Mu Chen saw this, he seemed to have understood something. A trace of joy flashed through his eyes. Although the White Dragon Silver Plate did not control the Stone Guardians as Mu Chen had imagined, as long as it could interfere with their senses, he would be able to quickly reach the depths of the Stone Guardians.
When he thought of this, Mu Chen did not dare to delay any longer. He suddenly increased his speed, and in a flash, he charged past the obstruction of the Stone Guardians. Then, he raised his speed to the limit and flew towards the depths.
This time, Mu Chen did not face any obstruction. Although the Stone Guardians would look at him blankly when he passed by, they did not attack him in a frenzy.
Relying on the obstruction of the White Dragon Silver Plate, Mu Chen passed through the defensive line of Stone Guardians in a short few minutes. In the end, he began to slow down. This was because he sensed that the number of Stone Guardians in this area was becoming sparse. In the end, they completely disappeared.
"Have I reached the depths?"
Mu Chen seemed to have sensed it as he quickened his pace. A brief moment later, the darkness before his eyes started to fade away, bit by bit. What appeared before his eyes was a somewhat dusky land. This land was filled with messy huge rocks. At the center of the huge rocks stood a black stone pillar that was roughly a hundred feet tall.
This black stone pillar wasn't as majestic as the previous stone pillars. However, for some unknown reason, when Mu Chen saw it, he felt a heartfelt palpitations in his heart.
Mu Chen cautiously approached. As he neared, he realized that this black stone pillar was not made of ordinary stone. It was neither stone, metal, nor wood. It was extremely ancient. On the body of the pillar, there were marks left behind by an unknown object. These marks were like claw marks that were deeply carved into the stone pillar. A fiendish aura that could devour the heavens and earth stealthily spread out, causing Mu Chen's eyes to turn a little scarlet.
Mu Chen's eyes were dazed for a moment. He slowly walked forward and gently touched the mottled and ancient black stone pillar with his palm.
Boom.
At the instant when his palm touched the pillar, a rumbling sound resounded in his mind. It was as if some scenes had flashed through his mind.
Within those scenes, there seemed to be a deep pool. The water of the pool was scarlet like blood. At the top of the pool, there were figures being thrown down. When their bodies fell into the blood pool, they were melted. Within the blood pool, one could faintly see a black pillar. Hidden within the blood pool, it was like a peerless demonic god that was devouring the fiendish aura.
At the top of the abyss, there were some blurry figures. One of them wore white robes and had a head full of white hair. His appearance was exactly the same as the White Dragon Sovereign.
At this moment, as he looked at the bloody scene before him, his gaze faintly flickered. An unbearable expression flashed through his eyes as he slowly clenched his fist.
Boom!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out from within the blood pool. In the next moment, a torrential blood pillar fiercely rushed towards the clouds. The abyss cracked apart as a bloody light shot up from within the blood pool, along with the blood pillar, and hovered in the sky.
It was a black stone pillar that was stained with endless blood. On the surface of the stone pillar, there seemed to be innumerable demonic runes surging. Deep claw marks were engraved on the surface of the stone pillar, causing the stone pillar to look as if it was about to shatter.
However, it was precisely this ancient demonic pillar that seemed to be on the verge of shattering. At this moment, a dreadful fiendish aura that caused the heavens and earth to lose their colour, and the universe to tremble.
Under the fiendish aura, even the powerful existences hidden within the light above the abyss couldn't help but take a few steps back.
As Mu Chen's mind focused on this scene, the fiendish aura seemed to have infected his heart, causing his reason to be instantly occupied by the fiendish aura.
Screech!
A clear cry suddenly rang out from within his body. As the sound waves vibrated, Mu Chen was instantly awakened from that state.
Mu Chen, who had regained his consciousness, was already covered in cold sweat. Looking at the black stone pillar that was just inches away from him, his eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost. He hastily retreated, his eyes filled with shock and alertness.
What exactly is this damnable stone pillar?
Why does it possess such a frightening fiendish aura?
Mu Chen's brows tightly knitted together. His gaze shifted up the black stone pillar, before stopping at the top of it. At that spot, a white spiritual bead the size of a baby's head floated in the air.
The white spiritual bead was sparkling and translucent. It emitted a milky white halo that dispelled the darkness of this place. Under that radiance, Mu Chen's heart also became a little calmer.
Within the white spiritual bead, Miasma rippled like a sea of clouds. A vigorous dragon roar resounded, and one could faintly see a white dragon swimming within it.
"This is …"
Mu Chen closely stared at the white spiritual bead. The latter was emitting extremely astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations. With a single look, he could tell that it was definitely an extremely rare treasure.
Mu Chen licked his lips as he stared at the white spiritual bead with a fiery gaze. The black demonic pillar was too strange, and Mu Chen did not dare to touch it, fearing that he would be tricked. However, the white spiritual bead did not possess any demonic characteristics. Furthermore, with a single look, he could tell that it was a good item. Between the two choices, it was clearly better to obtain the white spiritual bead first.
Thinking about this, Mu Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. With a move of his body, he shot towards the white spiritual bead. Extending his hand, he was about to grab it.
Whoosh!
However, just when Mu Chen was about to grab the white spiritual bead, an abnormally fierce gust of wind came from behind him. His eyes immediately turned cold as the Spiritual Energy within his body surged. Turning around, he threw a punch out.
Dark-black Spiritual Energy swept out as black flames rose, creating an astonishing momentum.
Bang!
As the two collided, a Spiritual Energy shockwave erupted out. Mu Chen's figure was forced back a few steps, before he stabilized his body. His eyes were dark as he stared into the distance, where three figures were quickly walking over from the darkness.
"Hmph. You're really a lingering spirit. You actually dared to get ahead of us!"
The one who'd walked out from the darkness was naturally Bai Dong. However, he looked to be in a rather sorry state. At his side, there was only the grey-robed elder and another guard. It was obvious that the other two Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase guards had been slaughtered by the crazed stone statues on their way in.
At that moment, Bai Dong and the grey-robed elder were both staring at Mu Chen with cold and bewildered expressions. They never imagined that he would be one step ahead of them.
Judging from the situation, if they'd arrived any later, Mu Chen would've already taken the item.
Mu Chen looked at the two indifferently, but killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Bai Dong glowered at Mu Chen. Then, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Elder Qiu, the two of you deal with him. This time, don't give him the slightest chance."
The grey-robed elder slowly nodded and walked out with the other Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase guard. Their eyes locked onto Mu Chen like a venomous snake.
Mu Chen watched the two Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase experts slowly walk towards him. His eyes slowly turned cold.
