Dozens of black chains crisscrossed. Countless images of strange beasts came from all directions. These beasts appeared out of thin air. They looked like ghostly beasts coming out of the shadows.
All the beasts were black. They looked ferocious and terrifying. Their presence was also very frightening.
Xiang Linglong's White Jade Fan released rays of multicolored light that formed a protective barrier around Xiang Linglong.
Qi Dingdong had her back to back, but half of her body was not covered by the light. That was why countless beasts kept attacking her.
She had a string of white beads in her hand. Every time a beast came, the beads would fly out and split into twelve beads, which would attack the beasts.
She could scatter the beasts every time, but there would be shockwaves. Qi Dingdong was injured again and again. Blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. She would be fine for now, but if this went on, she would be in trouble.
Xiang Linglong could barely hold on with her Sovereign weapon. But the beasts were endless. Using the Sovereign weapon required a lot of divine power. She couldn't keep using it for a long time. When the divine power was used up, she wouldn't be able to use the weapon anymore.
"Let's attack together and try to break the formation!"
Qi Tianyu didn't dare to wait any longer. He took out the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda and used it to attack the black chains.
The rest of the people also made their moves. They either unleashed their treasures or unleashed their divine abilities, all of them colliding with the black chains.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The dozens of people were all Fifth Tribulation cultivators. Many of them had great treasures. When they all attacked together, the noise was huge. Everything within a radius of a hundred miles felt oppressed. Even the space was fluctuating.
"Buzz ~"
The black divine chains released boundless black light, causing the space around them to tremble slightly. However, everyone's hearts quickly sank because the black chains did not show any signs of collapsing even after being attacked by so many people. They felt as if they were unbreakable and indestructible.
In fact!
They didn't have much hope before they attacked. The Divine Glyphs here had already been tested and couldn't be broken.
Even many Lord Level beings couldn't break the Divine Glyphs, let alone them.
"Think of something. I'll keep attacking!"
After a while, Qi Tianyu told the Qi Family to stop. So did Xiang Baiya. He told the Xiang Family to think of something.
They kept attacking to see if they could exhaust the energy of the Divine Glyphs. That way, they could at least reduce the power of the beasts inside.
"Buzz ~"
Inside the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda, when Qi Tianyu was attacking, the lines on the walls suddenly glowed. Countless lines began to wander, which dazzled Lu Li.
"Eh?"
Lu Li, who was sitting with his legs crossed in silence, suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes wide and looked around. The patterns were moving around crazily, which confused him. He felt there were many Artifact Spirits moving around.
"This …"
Vaguely, he could see that those patterns seemed to form strange characters. Those were not ordinary characters. Each character contained a powerful and mysterious power. At this moment, Lu Li felt a little breathless. The pressure that these characters gave him was even greater than that of Thearch Weapons.
"Eh?"
He was stunned for a moment. He realized that the characters had disappeared and turned back into patterns. He widened his eyes and tried to look again, but he could no longer find the feeling he had before.
He did not try to capture that feeling in a hurry. Instead, he closed his eyes to calm himself down. When he was calm enough, he opened his eyes and squinted again to let himself be in a trance. This time, it worked.
This time, he could vaguely see those diagrams forming eleven large words. Every three diagrams formed a mysterious word. These words could dazzle one's soul, and they were extremely profound. They emitted a thick and powerful aura.
Every character was like a star. Lu Li felt he would be smashed into pieces if he were pressed down by those characters.
Lu Li did not have the courage to take a closer look. He stayed where he was, in a trance and in a trance. He tried to record the characters in the depth of his soul, to remember every stroke of the characters and to remember their original form.
"Well, if I engrave the characters in my body, they will never disappear."
Then, Lu Li thought of another way. He began to mobilize energy in his acupoints. Just like when he was carving the marks of Dao, he wanted to engrave the characters in his body, in his bones.
He didn't know what was the point of doing this and whether it would be dangerous or not. All he wanted was to engrave the strange and powerful characters so that they would never be forgotten.
Soon, he mobilized some energy and began to engrave the characters in his body. It was a bit strenuous because he wanted the characters to be exactly the same without any deviation.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the first character was engraved. Lu Li checked and found it was exactly the same. He went on at once.
Somehow, he had a feeling that he had grasped the essence. There was a chance that he could learn the powerful skill of the Reincarnation Emperor.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Qi Tianyu and White Tusk kept on attacking while the others began to figure out how to crack the runes.
Now that they had reached this level, they had more or less understood the runes. They tried many ways to see if they could crack the runes.
If they could not, it would be better to weaken the attacks inside.
Time moved on. Four hours had passed. They had tried many ways but to no avail.
Qi Tianyu and White Tusk had been attacking for four hours. Not only were the black chains not cracked, but the beasts inside were not weakening either.
Inside, Linglong's face was pale. Her forehead was covered in sweat. Clearly, she was having a hard time.
Qi Dingdong was in a worse state. More blood was oozing out of his mouth. His chest was stained red.
"We can't go on like this!"
Qi Tianyu was panicking. He shouted, "Think of something. If Dingdong dies, Second Patriarch will tear us apart."
Everyone in the Qi Family knew how much Second Patriarch loved Qi Dingdong. Qi Dingdong had come to the Rocks Ridge because Qi Tianyu had suppressed Lu Li. Qi Tianyu was responsible for this.
If Qi Dingdong died, Second Patriarch would make Qi Tianyu suffer, if not kill him.
The others looked at each other. Nobody could figure out a way. How could they crack the runes created by Ancestor Dao Heaven?
They might not even be able to get their seniors to come.
"Stop. Stop attacking!"
Linglong suddenly shouted from inside, "Qi Tianyu, let Lu Li out. He is very knowledgeable in runes. He is the only one who can save us now."
"Lu Li?"
Qi Tianyu was surprised. Out of instinct, he put up his guard. Lu Li was only at the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation and he was so young. How could he be so knowledgeable in runes at such a young age?
Could it be that this was a trap? Xiang Linglong and the others could crack the runes, but the trap was to create a dangerous situation so that they could save Lu Li?
