Chapter 171 Core Formation Attack?
Chapter 171 Core Formation Attack?
Chen Xu quickly took out a healing pill, and with a slight release of spiritual energy from his fingertips, the pill transformed into a gentle medicinal power that flowed into Nan Longyue's lips.
He then unleashed his divine sense, scanning every corner of the empty hall in an attempt to find an exit.
The dome, the ground, and even the broken parts of the nine-dragon phantom were carefully examined, but nothing was found.
Chen Xu frowned slightly, made a hand seal with his fingertips, and a dark water blade slashed towards a certain place in the void.
The water blades vanished silently, while the spatial barrier remained unmoved.
"That's enough."
Seeing that there was nowhere to go, Chen Xu sighed inwardly and turned his gaze back to the unconscious Nan Longyue.
It seems we can only make plans after Nanlongyue wakes up.
He sat cross-legged beside Nan Longyue, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and his divine sense still vigilantly enveloped the hall.
Several hours later, Nan Longyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she woke up.
"Awake?" Chen Xu's voice rang out from the side, calm.
Nan Longyue sat up, her spiritual energy still weak.
She glanced around the empty hall, her gaze finally settling on Chen Xu: "Senior, we..."
"We're trapped here," Chen Xu said succinctly.
"The trial is over, but there's still no exit in sight. Do you have a solution?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Longyue seemed to realize something, closed her eyes, and sank her mind into the depths of her consciousness.
A palace emblem suddenly lit up, and information about the entire Dragon Palace ruins unfolded before her eyes.
Nan Longyue opened her eyes again, her voice filled with a hint of uncertain shock:
"I feel like... I can control the entire Dragon Palace..."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
The moment Nan Longyue finished speaking, she gently raised her right hand towards the front.
"Buzz..."
The entire Dragon Palace space trembled violently, and a spatial fluctuation enveloped Chen Xu and Nan Longyue.
……
The violent vortex eruption of Star Moon Vortex has long since ended, leaving behind only a devastated sea and the lingering salty stench and turbulent spiritual energy in the air.
The surviving cultivators were greedily salvaging the last remnants spewed from the whirlpool, and a bloody struggle continued to unfold in the undercurrents.
The central sea area of the Star Moon Vortex, which had begun to calm down, suddenly collapsed inward, creating a deep black hole.
Two figures, enveloped in dazzling blue-gold light, shot out from the deep darkness as if propelled by immense force.
Water splashed everywhere as Chen Xu and Nan Longyue fell heavily into the cold, murky sea.
Chen Xu reacted extremely quickly, stabilizing himself the moment he fell into the water. His spiritual energy surged, pushing the surrounding seawater away by about a foot.
His gaze was like lightning, instantly sweeping over the surrounding cultivators.
Nan Longyue followed closely behind, emerging from the water. The intense spatial teleportation made her breathing slightly disordered.
Their sudden appearance instantly made them the focus of attention in this chaotic sea area.
"Are they the cultivators who were caught in the vortex half a month ago?!" Someone pointed at Chen and Xu and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Someone actually made it out alive?! I wonder what kind of luck they had..."
Several malevolent divine senses probed and locked onto the two of them.
Chen Xu snorted coldly; his voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every cultivator nearby.
"If you want to die, then come forward."
His gaze swept over several Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators who were itching to make a move. When they met his icy gaze, they felt a chill in their hearts and subconsciously took a half step back.
However, greed ultimately prevailed over reason.
The three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances, their eyes blazing with ferocity, and surrounded each other, their magical artifacts emitting spiritual light.
"Boy, hand over what you got down there! I'll spare your lives!"
The leading cultivator grinned maliciously, pointing a blood-red longsword at Chen Xu.
Chen Xu's eyes were indifferent and unmoved.
This kind of trash isn't worth his time.
He turned his gaze to Nan Longyue, his expression questioning.
Nan Longyue received Chen Xu's gaze, raised her head, looked at the three approaching cultivators, and casually waved her sleeve.
"Splash!"
The seawater beneath their feet suddenly transformed into three ferocious deep-sea pythons.
"What?!"
"ah!!"
The screams abruptly ceased as three water pythons coiled around the necks of the three, unleashing a terrifying strangulation force.
The dull sound of bones shattering rang out, and the three cultivators were instantly torn into a blurry mass of flesh and blood before they could even put up a fight.
The entire sea fell silent instantly, and all the restless cultivators stared in horror at the woman in blue on the surface of the sea.
With a wave of his hand, three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators vanished into thin air.
This is a skill that Foundation Establishment cultivators could never possess.
"A...a Core Formation expert?!" someone screamed.
The once noisy and greedy sea was now scattered like birds and beasts.
The surviving cultivators wished they had more legs, and desperately fled on their magical artifacts.
Chen Xu watched quietly from the side, mentally assessing Nan Longyue's current strength once again.
At present, Nan Longyue is probably truly invincible below the Golden Core stage...
He walked on water, approaching Nanlongyue, his voice still calm: "Can you enter the Dragon Palace ruins at any time?"
Nan Longyue looked at Chen Xu and said respectfully, "Senior, it seems I can activate its power if I want to..."
Chen Xu nodded, not surprised by her answer.
His gaze swept over the figures of the cultivators fleeing in panic in the distance.
Although some of the probing divine senses retreated in alarm, they could not conceal the greed and resentment within them.
Star Moon Island is a place where all sorts of people mingle, and today's events will likely attract even more troublesome attention soon.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer." Chen Xu's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.
He flipped his hand and took out a cyan talisman with intricate cloud patterns, which was a second-tier high-grade Myriad Mile Cloud Shuttle Talisman.
With a gentle release of spiritual energy from their fingertips, the talisman instantly activated, transforming into a soft yet condensed blue light that enveloped the two of them.
With a flash of azure light, it shot out like an arrow, tearing through the air and hurtling towards the depths of the Meteorite Sea at a speed far exceeding that of the previous Flying Leaf magic weapon.
However, less than a hundred miles from the Star Moon Vortex, three powerful divine senses suddenly descended like an invisible giant net, firmly locking onto the fleeing azure light.
"Hmph! Trying to run? Junior, abandon your chance!"
A cold snort, like a muffled thunderclap, and three figures materialized out of thin air on the sea ahead, blocking their path.
The newcomers were none other than three Core Formation cultivators.
The leader was an old man with red hair, surrounded by fiery energy, and his aura was the most ferocious, having reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.
On the left is a middle-aged scholar with a sinister face, holding a jade-ribbed folding fan, his eyes sharp as an eagle.
On the right was a burly man with a giant axe on his back, his muscles bulging and exuding the powerful aura of someone in the early stage of Core Formation.
They had clearly been drawn by the unusual movements of the Star Moon Vortex and had been lying in wait on the perimeter.
The red-haired old man's gaze swept greedily over Chen Xu and Nan Longyue, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:
"These two have strange auras; they must have obtained an ancient inheritance. Make your move and capture them!"
Before the words were finished, three powerful pressures, like mountains, crashed down.
The light of the Myriad Miles Cloud Shuttle Talisman was instantly suppressed, causing it to flicker and its speed to decrease drastically...
