Chapter 420 Star Palace Trial (2)
Chapter 420 Star Palace Trial (2)
"The third test: Wenqu!"
The starry sea illusion suddenly turned into a long scroll of ink painting, and thousands of scriptures fell from the void.
"There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun. Kun is so large, no one knows how many thousand miles it is. It transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is no one knows how many thousand miles long. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. This bird, if it travels by sea, will migrate to the South Sea. The South Sea is the Tianchi Lake..."
"What the hell is this?!"
As soon as the moon-shaped hourglass in Bayunzhai touched the floating "Nanhua Sutra", the text suddenly turned into a Peng Kun and swallowed her up.
"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things. So, always be in the nothingness in order to observe its wonders; always be in the existence in order to observe its boundaries. These two things come from the same source but have different names; both are called mysterious, and the more mysterious, the more mysterious they are; they are the door to all wonders..."
Yuan Liuzhai had not yet recovered from the shock of Bayunzhai being swallowed by a strange bird that suddenly appeared, when the Bagua diagram transformed from the "Tao Te Ching" rushed straight towards him.
He held the flaming blade in his hand and slashed it out, and the true fire of the sun rushed straight towards the Bagua diagram.
When the true fire of the sun collided with the Bagua diagram, the originally extremely hot flame seemed to have met its nemesis and was easily decomposed by the black and white energies on the Bagua diagram.
Not only that, after being transformed by the Bagua diagram, the true fire of the sun actually turned into an extremely pure Taiyin force.
This Taiyin power is several times colder than the one previously controlled by Bayunzhai, and it seems to be able to freeze people's souls.
Yuan Liusai felt a biting chill coming towards him, making him shiver.
That gloomy and desperate feeling was as if one had suddenly fallen into the Netherworld Hell, with endless darkness and coldness all around.
"Yin and Yang are reversed? How is that possible..."
Yuan Liusai muttered to himself in disbelief. But the situation was so critical that he couldn't afford to dwell on it.
His expression became serious, and he mobilized all the strength in his body. The sun mark between his eyebrows suddenly burst into a dazzling light, as if a scorching sun was hanging high above his head.
The endless power of the sun illuminated all directions, and the Bagua diagram in the starry sky shattered.
After being swallowed by Peng Kun, Bayunzhai fell into endless chaos. The darkness surged like a tide, submerging everything.
Suddenly, a miniature Peng Kun pounced towards her from the depths of chaos with bared fangs and claws.
It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, as if to tear her into pieces.
Facing the bloody mouth of Peng Kun, she swung the Moon Dial in her hand and slashed at the mini Peng Kun with fierce momentum.
However, when the blade came into contact with Peng Kun, it was as if it was cutting into the ethereal air, with no point of force.
A closer look revealed that this seemingly powerful giant bird was actually just an illusory shadow and had no physical existence at all.
But the powerful pressure from Peng Kun enveloped her like a mountain pressing down on an egg, and it continuously impacted her mind, making it difficult for her to breathe, and giving rise to an indescribable sense of fear and powerlessness in her heart.
"Illusion?"
"Lunar Eclipse·Reverse Time!"
Bayunzhai quickly reversed the moon phase ring of the moon dial, and the powerful lunar force gushed out, instantly condensing into countless crystal clear ice spikes.
She stabbed the ice spikes into her palms, and immediately bright red blood flowed back up along the ice spikes.
As the power of the moon and blood merged, the time around them began to reverse and flow backwards.
Under the influence of this strange time reversal, the originally imposing shadow of Peng Kun gradually became distorted, and finally disintegrated and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air.
"The fourth test: Lian Zhen!"
The Emperor of Ziwei didn't want to let the two of them rest.
The Star Palace illusion suddenly changed drastically again. The originally colorful scene disappeared, and was replaced by a burning lava purgatory.
Nine huge, pitch-black suns hung high in the sky, emitting a heart-pounding and terrifying aura.
"These suns... they're actually madly devouring the light around them!"
The power of the moon permeated the moon dial, and a layer of moonlight barrier suddenly opened. Bayunzhai tried to resist the powerful gravitational force from the black sun.
In just a moment, the seemingly insurmountable barrier was torn open like thin paper by the gravity of the black sun, leaving a huge gap.
"No! This isn't the sun, it's a black hole!"
Yuan Liuzhai swung the flaming blade in his hand suddenly, and the sharp flaming blade slashed fiercely at one of the black suns.
The black sun seemed to have an endless suction force, not only sucking the sword light into it, but also sucking away 30% of Yuan Liusai's spiritual pressure.
In the critical situation, Yuan Liuzhai pulled Bayunzhai beside him without hesitation. The two of them stood back to back in tacit understanding, standing steadily on the only relatively intact meteorite.
"Quick! Use the lunar tides to counteract this gravitational pull!"
Genryusai shouted loudly.
As he finished speaking, Bayunzhai danced rapidly with his hands, and the moon phase ring of the moon dial instantly split into twelve moon discs shining with a cold light.
Then the lunar tide roared out like a surging silver torrent.
At the same time, the sun mark on Yuan Liuzhai's forehead once again burst into dazzling light, and the sun's true fire continued to gather and condensed into a lifelike three-legged golden crow in the lunar tide.
At the moment when the forces of yin and yang blended with each other, the group of black holes that were originally rampant began to devour each other, collide and merge with each other, and the entire space trembled continuously due to the violent energy fluctuations.
Finally, all the black holes gradually collapsed in this fierce confrontation, eventually forming an extremely tiny singularity.
"It's now!"
Yuan Liusai shouted loudly, and the Canhuo sword in his hand was wrapped in unparalleled power, and he slashed directly at the micro singularity.
Almost at the same time, Bayunzhai's moon dial followed closely like lightning and sank into the singularity together.
A devastating force erupted, and the intense light explosion produced by the annihilation of yin and yang swept around.
Under the impact of this thrilling light, the entire Lian Zhen illusion collapsed in an instant and turned into ruins.
"Fifth Test: Wu Qu!"
The voice of Emperor Ziwei was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the two again.
Upon hearing this announcement, Yuan Liuzhai and Bayunzhai, who had just experienced a series of hard battles and were exhausted, both trembled in their hearts.
"No! Emperor, can you please let us rest for a while?"
Yuan Liusai said while panting, his face looking a little pale due to extreme fatigue.
Despite possessing the powerful strength of the late stage of super spiritual pressure, he felt a little overwhelmed after breaking through four difficult trials in a row.
Not to mention Bayunsai, who is slightly weaker and only in the middle stage of super spiritual pressure, is suffering even more.
She seemed to have lost all her strength. She slumped on the ground, breathing in the air in big gulps, as if every breath was a luxury.
"Are you sure you want to rest? You better think carefully. Lin Yu won't be able to hold out for many more days!"
The Emperor Ziwei did not seem to have any mercy at all. He just glanced at the two of them indifferently.
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Yuan Liuzhai and Bayunzhai's hearts.
"No more rest! Great Emperor, let's continue!"
Bayunzhai gritted his teeth, endured the waves of pain in his body, and struggled to stand up from the ground.
Although the method of provoking someone is simple and brainless, it is very effective!
