Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2296

On the altar,
Countless black threads intertwined to form a massive black light curtain, within which the figures of extraterrestrial evil spirits could be vaguely seen.

Around the altar,

The demons controlled by the power of chaos are attacking the cultivators frantically, trying to buy time for the black light curtain to condense.

Su Qingyao and the others ventured deeper and deeper, finally arriving at the core area.

Looking at the black altar before her, Su Qingyao's expression changed drastically: "They want to use the power of the five elements in the secret realm to open a passage to the outer realm!"

Mo Ying's eyes were icy: "We must stop them, or the Three Realms will be plunged into crisis once again."

Shui Ling quickly took out a compass and began to deduce the formation of the altar:
"The core of this altar's formation lies in the Five Elements Array Eye below. Destroying the array eye will prevent the passage from opening. However, the array eye is protected by a black light curtain, making it difficult for us to approach."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, his Buddhist power surging: "I will use my Buddhist power to purify the light barrier and buy you some time."

The golden Buddhist power surrounding him transformed into a giant Buddhist palm, which slammed towards the black light barrier.

With a loud "boom," the Buddha's palm struck the light screen, and the golden Buddha power and the black evil power collided, bursting out a huge energy fluctuation.

The black light curtain trembled violently, and a tiny crack appeared.

"Now!"

With a flick of her folding fan, Su Qingyao unleashed a black and white blade of Tai Chi power that shot towards the crack.

The dark figure flashed.
Followed by,

The power of shadow coalesced into spikes, ready to attack the core of the formation.

Just at this time,

The black light curtain on the altar suddenly expanded, and a huge black shadow emerged from it.

This dark figure was exactly the same as the one seen in the outer space years ago. It was surrounded by a dense evil power and stared coldly at Su Qingyao and the others.

"How dare a mere cultivator from the Three Realms disrupt my plans!"

The dark figure let out a cold laugh, raised its hand and waved, sending countless black threads shooting towards Su Qingyao and the others.

Su Qingyao and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly deployed their defenses.

But the power of the black threads far exceeded their expectations, instantly breaking through their defenses and binding them.

"Oh no, we're trapped!"

Shui Ling exclaimed in surprise, attempting to break the silk threads using an array, only to discover that the threads contained a powerful corrosive force that was constantly eroding their cultivation.

Xuanzang's chanting grew louder and louder, and Buddhist power surged forth in an attempt to purify the silk threads, but with little effect. "This evil power is even stronger than it was nine hundred years ago!"

The dark figure slowly stepped out of the light barrier, its malevolent power growing increasingly intense.

"Over the course of nine hundred years, I have absorbed countless primal energies of the starry sky. You are no match for me now."

He raised his hand and waved.
A massive black energy sphere condensed and hurtled towards Su Qingyao and the others.

At this critical moment,
A beam of seven-colored light suddenly shot down from above the secret realm, shattering the black energy ball.

Then,

Chu Fan, Ye Zihan, and Shi Qingcang appeared in the core area.

"Evil spirits from beyond the borders, cease your insolence!"

Chu Fan roared, unleashing his chaotic power. The primordial crystal in his palm emitted a seven-colored light screen, purifying the black threads binding Su Qingyao and the others. Ye Zihan then unleashed her spacetime power...

In an instant, he appeared before the shadowy figure, thrusting his silver-gray longsword towards it.

Shi Qingcang wielded his giant hammer, unleashing golden humanistic power as he smashed it towards the core of the altar's array.

The shadowy figure's expression changed, and he quickly retreated, raising his hand to condense a black barrier.

"Great Emperor Realm cultivators? I never expected the Three Realms Academy to have cultivated so many powerful individuals."

"A nine-hundred-year-old tradition—you can't even imagine it!"

Chu Fan snorted coldly, and the power of chaos combined with the power of the primordial crystal, transforming into a huge seven-colored blade that slashed towards the black shadow.

Ye Zihan's spacetime power also erupted at the same time, and her long sword slashed through space, appearing behind the black shadow.

Shi Qingcang successfully destroyed the altar's array core, and the black light curtain instantly dimmed.

The shadowy figure was attacked from both sides.

Struck simultaneously by the seven-colored blade and the time-space sword, it let out a shrill scream.

"Damn it! I will not let this go!"

His malevolent power surged, transforming him into a black shadow as he fled towards the rift in the secret realm.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Chu Fan raised his hand and waved it, and the Origin Crystal shot out countless seven-colored threads that entangled the dark shadow.

Ye Zihan's figure flashed, and the power of spacetime sealed off the surrounding space.

The shadowy figure struggled to break free, but the seven-colored threads, containing the origins of the five elements and the power of chaos, continuously purified his evil power.

"Three Realms...you just wait...when the thousand-year period is up, I will lead my army to raze this place to the ground!"

The shadowy figure let out a resentful roar, its body gradually being purified by the seven-colored threads, and finally dissipated into the air.

As the shadows dissipated, the chaotic power within the secret realm gradually subsided, and the controlled demons regained their senses and retreated to their respective areas.

Chu Fan put away the Origin Crystal and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I stopped his plan."

Ye Zihan inspected the altar: "The array core has been destroyed, and the passage to the outer realm will no longer be open."

Shi Qingcang walked up to Su Qingyao and the others and asked with concern, "Are you all alright?"

Su Qingyao shook her head: "Thanks to the timely arrival of my three senior brothers, otherwise we would have been in danger."

She looked toward the altar, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes: "The power of this extraterrestrial evil is growing stronger and stronger. There are less than a hundred years left until the millennium. We must be prepared."

Chu Fan nodded: "Although there were unexpected events in this trial, it also made us see the ambitions of the extraterrestrial evil spirits. Next, the academy will strengthen the training of its disciples, especially the techniques for purifying the power of evil spirits, and we must cultivate enough strong individuals within a hundred years to deal with the impending calamity."

After the Azure Nether Trial ended,
Su Qingyao, Mo Ying, Shui Ling, and Xuanzang, thanks to the large amount of Origin Crystals they collected, successfully entered the top ten and gained the qualification to enter the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

The Sutra Repository is located halfway up the main peak of Zhenxuan. It has nine floors. The first eight floors are open to the academy's disciples, while the top floor of the ninth floor is only accessible to the deans, elders, and winners of the trials.

The top floor houses the most precious ancient cultivation techniques and ancient books in the Three Realms, including cultivation insights left behind by the Creator God and secret records about the Millennium Tribulation.

this day,
Led by Chu Fan, Su Qingyao and the other three arrived at the top floor of the Sutra Repository.

The top floor has an exceptionally large space.
The surrounding bookshelves were filled with yellowed ancient books and shimmering scrolls of martial arts techniques.

On the central platform, a huge crystal ball was placed, emitting a soft light.
