After Ling Xiao refined the death energy, the other four didn't dare to get too close to Ling Xiao. They were afraid that Ling Xiao's death energy would contaminate them.
They didn't have Ling Xiao's abnormal ability to control the death energy!
They all cursed in their hearts, "Young Master is really too abnormal!"
Ling Xiao returned to the main topic and said, "Alright, let's find a way to break through this Seven Star Seven Fiend Formation!"
This time, Han Kai stepped forward and said, "Let this old man lead the way!"
His strength was already unrivalled in the Central Territory, so he didn't believe that this formation could stump him.
The others didn't have any objections, and Savage Leopard didn't dare to show off anymore. He still had lingering fears from what happened earlier.
There was still the Four Fiend Gate, but with Han Kai leading the way, nothing would be a problem. His strength as a high level Saint wasn't something to be trifled with.
If he was going to this passage alone, he wouldn't need to go through the passage slowly. He could just teleport to the other side.
The reason he destroyed the formation was so that Ling Xiao and the others could come over safely.
Xuan Yao sighed and said, "Fortunately, Elder Han is here. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to go inside. The person who built this formation is really scheming!"
Ling Xiao also nodded in agreement. He really hadn't expected that he would be able to swindle a high level Saint on this trip to the Medicine Capital. This gave him even more confidence to propose his own hegemony.
After passing through the passage, a large number of demon puppets appeared. These puppets were clearly much stronger than the ones outside.
However, they still couldn't stop Ling Xiao and the others from moving forward.
Along the way, Ling Xiao had already obtained a lot of good things, including some spirit tools, Xuan skills, and rare and precious materials.
These things undoubtedly gave Ling Xiao more confidence. They would be of great use when recruiting troops in the future.
Ling Xiao had a proud expression as he muttered, "I've struck it rich! I didn't expect that there would be such treasures hidden under this Hell City. It's just right for this young master!"
He had always adhered to the principle that he would be a bastard if he did not take advantage of the situation.
He didn't want to be a bastard, so he confiscated all the good stuff in the basement.
Of course, before collecting, he would also let the others see if there was anything they needed.
The others didn't stand on ceremony with Ling Xiao. They took some of the items that were suitable for them, but most of them went to Ling Xiao.
They had already walked for quite a while, and they were finally about to reach the secret room at the end. This secret room was presumably the true location of the Mausoleum, and also the location of the Demon Child Formation.
Before they even got close to the entrance, a large amount of Death Qi had already seeped out, which gave Ling Xiao a lot of nourishment.
After the Death Qi was sucked dry, everyone carefully walked inside.
After all, at this juncture, it was impossible for there to be no ferocious creatures guarding them.
"There's also a deathly aura restriction, wait for me to break it first!" Han Kai said and punched the door of the secret room.
However, the deathly aura restriction this time was much stronger than the one he had encountered before. Han Kai had to punch it a few times before he was able to disperse it.
After the restriction was broken, there was no longer any deathly aura coming out from inside, which made everyone feel very strange.
At this time, Xuan Yao said, "We've already passed through quite a few formation obstructions. There shouldn't be any obstructions in this formation core."
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the last secret room.
The others followed suit and walked in as well.
As soon as they walked in, everyone gasped in shock.
They looked at the scene in the spacious secret room and were all incomparably shocked.
This was indeed a mausoleum. In the middle of it was a very small coffin. It seemed to be only half the size of a normal coffin, but it looked very strange and noble. This was because it was made of ten thousand year old jade, and the color of the glass emitted waves of emerald green and demonic colors.
This small coffin actually emitted a strong life force, completely different from the layers of deathly aura outside.
Besides this small coffin, there were numerous grade eight beast cores revolving around it, and numerous extremely profound formation markings even filled the secret room. There were formation markings that were visible, and there were also hidden markings that couldn't be seen. All of them were densely packed like a spiderweb, and it caused one to feel extremely shocked.
These Spirit Array patterns were clearly centered around the coffin, and many of them led to the top of the secret room, sticking closely to the top, as if they were connected to something.
Apart from that, there were also some strange images of ferocious beasts carved on the surrounding walls. There were also many skeletons stuck to the walls, as if they had been buried with the owner of the coffin. It seemed extremely strange, sinister, and terrifying.
"Damn, what kind of mausoleum is this? It's so scary!" Ling Xiao could be considered someone who had seen this scene before, and he couldn't help but shout in shock.
"This should be the core of the Demon Child Array. These dead people should be buried here. I'm afraid there are at least a few thousand of them. How extravagant!" Han Kai exclaimed softly.
Savage Leopard and Mad Tooth, on the other hand, had always been cruel and ruthless, so they didn't have any reaction to this kind of evil place.
Xuan Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a peerless Ominous Array, it can actually combine all kinds of bright and dark Spirit Array patterns so tightly, and it can even cleanly refine all the Life Essence it absorbs while excluding the deathly aura. Inside this coffin is definitely the Demon Child's Heart!"
"What's a Demon Child's Heart?
Could it be a Monster Human's Heart? "Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
"Of course not. The Ghost Mother Demon Child Array is one of the peerless Ominous Arrays. In addition to its great damage, it also has another function, which is to provide the Mother Array with an endless supply of vitality. This vitality is transmitted through the Demon Child's Heart and the body of the Ghost Mother. This Demon Child's Heart is actually the source of all the Life Essence absorbed by the Spirit Array, and the deathly aura should be filtered and accumulated by the Spirit Array," Xuan Yao explained.
"That's right, the Life Essence in this coffin is a sacred object of the living. Even this old master is tempted to see it!" Han Kai seemed to have some understanding of the Ghost Mother Demon Child Array, so he immediately echoed.
"Such a powerful thing. My goodness, isn't the Ghost Mother Array reaping a lot of benefits? It really is a Spirit Array that harms others to benefit themselves!" Ling Xiao said in surprise.
How could Ling Xiao not be tempted by something that could even tempt Saints?
"Wait for this old master to personally take it!" Han Kai's old eyes emitted a strong sense of greed.
He had already lived for too many years, and his lifespan was actually not long. If he could obtain this Life Essence and readjust his own life force, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him. He might even have the chance to take a step forward and not just seek the Dao.
However, just as he was about to make a move, Xuan Yao stopped him and said, "Elder Han, don't be impulsive. If you forcefully break it, even you won't be able to withstand the attacks of these formations. Moreover, it might even destroy the Demon Child's Heart.
Hearing Xuan Yao's words, Han Kai immediately stopped.
He asked, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch?"
Xuan Yao shook his head and said, "Of course not. I want to see if I can break this formation."
Xuan Yao's understanding of formations was greater than anyone else's. He also wanted to challenge the power of this peerless Ominous Formation. This would be of great help to his understanding of formations.
"Fraud, can you do it?" Ling Xiao asked.
Xuan Yao also very honestly said, "No!"
"No, you still want to show off?" Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
"It's fine. Even if I can't break it completely, it won't be too powerful in the end. At that time, I can forcefully break it!" Xuan Yao waved his hand.
Seeing that he was so insistent, no one said anything else.
"All of you step back a bit," Xuan Yao said as a strange blade appeared in his hand.
Han Kai, who was experienced and knowledgeable, muttered to himself, "Formation Pattern Cutting Blade. It seems like its grade isn't low!"
Xuan Yao smiled and didn't say anything else. He was about to walk forward.
"Fraud, don't be in such a hurry. This is for you!"
Ling Xiao seemed to have thought of something and called out to Xuan Yao. A set of silver-white armor appeared in his hand.
This armor's grade was not low. It belonged to the category of Half Saint artifacts. It was something that Ling Xiao had obtained from the Chaotic War Abyss.
Ling Xiao didn't want Xuan Yao to die here. With this Half Saint grade armor, it would be safer.
Xuan Yao had never been polite with Ling Xiao. He took the armor and put it on. Then, he carefully walked up to the Spirit Array.
In order to break a Spirit Array, one had to destroy the Formation Core.
However, this peerless Spirit Array was somewhat different from ordinary Spirit Arrays. Its Formation Core was located inside the Spirit Array, making it difficult for others to approach and destroy it. Thus, one could only use another method to break the Spirit Array, which was to destroy the Spirit Array from the outside. However, this method was much more dangerous. If one made a mistake, the Spirit Array would be thrown into disorder. If that happened, the person who tried to break the Spirit Array would definitely die.
Xuan Yao first calmed his mind. After a long while, the Formation Pattern Cutting Blade in his hand began to descend.
His casual slash actually seemed to have reached the realm of Saber-Man Unity, which made everyone's eyes light up.
The few dark lines in front of him instantly disappeared along with his saber.
Following that, Xuan Yao's movements actually began to speed up. Each slash seemed chaotic, but it also had an indescribable charm to it. Everyone couldn't help but be entranced.
"This kid actually used the Saber to enter the Spirit Array. He really is a promising talent. No wonder he's the only successor of the Profound Secrets Sect. His ability is much stronger than the previous generation's Tian Jizi!" Old Han couldn't help but praise.
"His formation realm is already very high. As long as his strength increases, this Spirit Array won't be a problem for him. But now it seems he's still a bit lacking." Mad Tooth also sighed.
Savage Leopard said, "A few thousand years ago, that generation's Tian Jizi was only a mid-stage Mystic Emperor. Now that the Military Advisor is a mid-stage Empyrean and has followed the young master, it won't be difficult for him to go further."
Ling Xiao just stared at Xuan Yao's figure. He thought to himself, 'This swindler does have some ability. He doesn't just know how to trick people.'
