Chapter 671: Chapter 408: Calamity Looming_2
At the very least, these people would not hope for Earth Fla Island to be conquered unless it was their last resort.
…
Above the grand and awe-inspiring Ancestor Hall, spanning a hundred acres
Zhao Sheng slowly rose above the Fire Cloud, encompassed Han Wei, Zhou Li, and Shi Jiugong, sending a Divine Thought, “We only have thirty minutes. To avoid major casualties, why don’t we all strike together and quickly breach the Ancestor Hall.”
“That sounds good!”
“Most respectful of sixteen words!”
“Master, no objection!”
Following the other three Nascent Soul Ancestors’ agreent with Zhao Sheng’s suggestion, they simultaneously launched their attacks.
Suddenly, from the east, the Thunder Sea surged high, lifting waves instantly. And then, tens of thousands of Thunder Spears, as thick as a child’s arm and a yard long, condensed out of the Thunder Sea.
The Thunder Spears transford into a sky filled with thunderstorms, densely packed like a forest, explosively raining down, engulfing half of the Ancestor Hall.
Boom, boom, boom!
The Thunder Spears had not yet reached the Ancestor Hall when they were stopped by a blindingly white Fire Shield, triggering dense, massive explosions, instantly corroding an area of ten miles.
At the sa ti, Zhao Sheng repeatedly flicked his fingers, and beneath him, the Hundred Flas Tripod suddenly shot out bunches of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.
Earth Heart Spirit Fla, Jade Spirit Poison Fire, Grain Thunder Jingyan, Crystal Jade Heart Fla, Gold Corrosive Spirit Fire, Sea Wave Ghost Fla… Ancient Poison Fla, Sun Cleansing Fla, Samadhi True Fire… Golden Crow True Fire…
The nurous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires attached themselves to the white Fire Shield one after another, demonstrating their individual powers: corrosive, high temperature, explosive, extre cold, twisting… and many others.
Then, Zhao Sheng quickly withdrew more than ten types of spirit flas, such as Earth Heart Spirit Fla, Ancient Poison Fla, Samadhi True Fire, and Grain Thunder Jingyan, based on the extent of damage they caused to the Fire Shield.
Shi Jiugong was an indigenous Stone Demon, specialized in the Earth Dao.
One could see its transford hundred-yard Stone Man slowly sinking into the ground. As a sandstorm raged towards the Fire Shield, causing intense friction and raising large volus of dust, the ground of Ancestor Hall and its vicinity began to tremble, and the trembling intensified.
At that mont, the Fire Shield covering the Ancestor Hall flickered slightly, as if affected by sothing.
“Like a stream that plunges down three thousand feet, it appears as if the Milky Way has fallen from the nine heavens!”
Following the chant from the old scholar Zhou Li, the river beneath him instantly swelled several tis, transforming into a waterfall thousands of yards wide, pouring vertically onto the Fire Shield.
Instantly, a loud boom was heard, the white Fire Shield vibrated violently, its brightness quickly diminished, and it seed as though it might collapse at any mont.
The next instant, massive amounts of steam, looking like a giant mushroom cloud, shot into the sky before exploding outward, filling the entire island’s sky.
Water overcos fire, a truth since ancient tis!
All four Nascent Soul experts took action together, with Zhou Li’s attack proving most significant.
…
A little earlier, just before Zhao Sheng and the others made their full effort.
Underneath the Ancestor Hall, Great Elder Zhou Lu stood outside the central chamber of the Great Array, his face grim.
At this mont, facing him, two Supre Family Masters from the Yin, Yan, and Du Families were staring at him fiercely.
“How could you all be so foolish! With such urgency, why haven’t you hurried to awaken the sleeping ancestors instead of entering the central chamber?” Zhou Lu roared, holding back his anger.
He had suspected that the Three Great Families had a secret passage direct to the Ancestor Hall, and today, facing the sect’s extinction, it was confird.
But Zhou Lu never expected, with doom nearly upon them, that these guardian dogs would dare to fight amongst themselves. Didn’t they understand the principle that when one boat capsizes, not a single egg remains intact? Utterly foolish!
“Brother Zhou, waking the ancestors has already been undertaken by the Yin Family Master. Let us pass. The Mountain Guardian Formation failing for no reason, Fuxin cannot escape bla!”
“Du Family Master is right! Zhou Lu, you dare to obstruct us, could it be you wish to protect the guilty!”
Zhou Lu angrily retorted, “Nonsense, Junior Brother Fuxin is striving to repair the array. In at most thirty minutes, the array will definitely be restored to normal!”
“In that case, you should let us in even more. With our help, the array will surely recover faster, unless you… do not want us in!” the Poison Clan Supre Patriarch, with a face as pale and ghostly as a roach, imdiately changed his tone.
As soon as these words fell, Zhou Lu’s face flushed red, and a group of scarlet poison fla suddenly rose under his feet, enveloping his whole body.
This scene frightened the two Supre Family Masters so much that they retreated far back, their expressions full of fear.
“Zhou Lu, could it be that you plan to betray the sect?!” The Yan Clan Supre Family Master blurted out instinctively.
“Shut up, if you can’t speak, then don’t open your mouth!” the Poison Clan Supre Patriarch retorted sharply, then questioned, “Great Elder, you must prioritize the big picture! The Seven Flas Array was laid down by the ancestors of our three families. So of its crucial secrets are known only to our families. What reason do you have to stand outside and prevent us from entering?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lu looked even more sullen and suddenly asked, “Have the two ancestors sent back any ssages?”
At this question, the expressions of the two Supre Family Masters could not help but change slightly.
However, the Poison Clan Supre Family Master quickly spoke up decisively, “The ancestor has issued a decree instructing us to be here at this mont. After he deals with the enemy, he will soon return to Earth Fla Island!”
Zhou Lu listened in silence, yet the scarlet poison fla swirling around his body churned violently, as invisible and colorless threads of fire poison subtly spread around.
Seeing this situation, the two Supre Family Masters beca more anxious but dared not confront him directly, for even if they joined forces, they were no match for the Great Elder alone.
Boom!
Just then, the corridor they were in and the surrounding walls suddenly trembled, the ground shook slightly, followed by a muffled noise from above.
The three of them imdiately changed color upon seeing this.
But the next instant, the ground started shaking continuously,
At this mont, Zhou Lu’s waist communication talisman suddenly flashed intensely. After infiltrating it with his Divine Sense, his expression turned even uglier.
By then, he bluntly admitted, “The two ancestors must have encountered a formidable enemy; I fear they are no longer safe!
If I’m not wrong, your urgent desire to enter the central secret chamber is not to repair the Great Array but to remove the Array Formation Jade Pillar and to activate the Seven True Flas stored in the Fire Cave, and most importantly… the Indeterminate Star Core!”
At the end, Zhou Lu said coldly and rcilessly, “You plan to abandon Earth Fla Island and escape with the treasures!”
Crack!
As if to accompany his words, the ground and walls shook more violently, cracking open with dense fissures.
Being exposed, the two Supre Family Masters glanced at each other and quietly weighed their options.
Zhou Lu, however, did not give the two any ti to think, urging them imdiately, “The Seven True Flas are yours, but the Indeterminate Star Core is mine! Otherwise, I only need to stop you for a mont, then surrender to the Southern Sky Zhao Family and voluntarily offer up the heavy treasure, which should rit forgiveness. As for you… ha!”
The Seven True Flas, sealed within the core of Earth Fla Island, were all rare Heaven and Earth Fires, indispensable for the cultivation of the Earth Deity Seven Flas Manual.
The reason they were stored in the Fire Cave was to continuously draw power from the Earth Abyss Fire Sea using the alien power of the Indeterminate Star Core to sustain the growth of the Seven True Flas.
Thus, the core leaders of the Earth Fla Palace through the ages could continue to extract the Seven True Flas to cultivate the Sect Suppressing Divine Skill, the Earth Deity Seven Flas Manual.
Beyond that, they could also nurture the Spiritual Treasure Seven Flas Fan, ensuring its spirituality remained intact.
After a standoff, the Poison Clan Supre Patriarch shouted with a venomous expression, “Zhou Lu, you are too greedy, do you truly wish for mutual destruction?”
With that, he had already produced a head-sized, dark gray crystal ball in his hand, filled with a vortex within. Occasionally, the edges of the vortex spat out shadowy figures, which quickly turned into clouds of poison that were sucked back into the vortex, continuing the cycle endlessly.
At the sa ti, the other held a fist-sized, brightly glowing jade pearl.
“Dead Soul Poison, Destroying God Pearl!”
Upon seeing the two Nascent Soul Secret Treasures, Zhou Lu’s expression changed dramatically, and he imdiately spat out a streak of light that instantly transford into a three-inch long copper spear covered in ghostly patterns, with a faint layer of blood fla burning on its surface.
“Hold back! Otherwise, we all perish together!”
“Zhou Lu, you will be Earth Fla Palace’s eternal criminal…”
