Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 584: Trying to Pull Out the Scepter of Destruction (Two in One)

"Ok?"

Just as Chen Junting withdrew his gaze from the beam of light, he suddenly felt the Rakshasa Seal appear between his eyebrows, and his expression was slightly shocked.

He then concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, connecting his mental strength with the mark on his forehead. The content of the test bestowed by the God of Destruction but not made clear for a long time also emerged in his mind at this moment.

Level 1: Obtain the Scepter of Destruction in the Valley of Life and the Scepter of Life in the Forest of Destruction. The time limit is one year.

"Get the scepter? Wait..."

With a surprised thought, Chen Junting turned his head again, his eyes fixed on the stick erected in the pillar of light at the center of the altar, and his expression became strange, "The so-called scepter, could it be this stick?"

Despite this "doubt", Chen Junting does not think that the so-called Scepter of Destruction could be anything else. But...

This "scepter of destruction" is really perfunctory. If there is a pinch on the stick, it would be more in line with the word "scepter".

But even though he was complaining in his heart, his eyes were fixed on the "Scepter of Destruction". Without thinking, Chen Junting stepped onto the altar and walked towards the stage step by step.

And the moment he stepped onto the stairs, the life energy around him disappeared, and instead, there was a destructive energy that was comparable to the ultimate properties outside the Valley of Life.

However, this still did not stop Chen Junting's steps.

He even had the leisure to split his thoughts into two. However, when he tried to use his mental power to explore the "Scepter of Destruction", his mental power was instantly torn apart by the destructive energy outside.

Seeing that things could not be done, Chen Junting did not force it.

When he walked up the stairs and stepped completely onto the altar, he finally faced the "Scepter of Destruction" inserted in the center of the altar.

Although it was shaped like a stick, the stick body was shining with mysterious patterns. And the pillar of light of destruction was centered on the "Scepter of Destruction" and covered the "Scepter of Destruction" within a radius of five meters.

At this moment, the moment he stepped onto the altar, the pillar of light of destruction seemed to be stimulated, and a terrifying destructive energy swept over like a surging tide in a tsunami!

Seeing this scene, Chen Junting did not retreat but advanced.

When he officially took that step, his heart was like a column of mercury, constantly mobilizing the energy and blood in his body, combining it with his own soul power, and running through his meridians and blood vessels like a torrent.

Within a second, this huge destructive energy hit his body, causing his blood and soul power to fluctuate violently, like a candle in a strong wind, seemingly about to collapse.

However, this time the impact is more than just that...

The destructive energy interfered with the mind and disturbed the soul, causing huge waves in Chen Junting's originally calm spiritual sea.

in a blink,
It will flood the place where the four great souls settle.

"Gudong Gudong——"

The huge waves in the spiritual sea came and the first to be submerged was the Mad King. He staggered alone and took a few sips of water, and then fell back into the spiritual sea through the spiritual power.

"Ahem, Evil Emperor...Gudong, help me."

Eighty-one tentacles quickly stretched out from somewhere, tied up the Mad King who fell into the sea, and dragged him out to the sea.

At the same time, Snow Queen pointed from afar, and instantly froze the waves into blocks, which made room for them to settle down, and then for the four great souls to land on it.

After having such a foothold, the four great souls, Snow Empress, Tyrant, Mad King and Evil Emperor, did not hesitate at all in the face of the violent fluctuations in the sea of ​​spirits, and took action to calm them.

In addition, there are even more people who want to rush out of the sea of ​​​​spirituality directly to help Chen Junting resist the destructive force of the outside world.

To some extent, it can be considered a cure for the disease.

But at this moment, the voice of Alex suddenly sounded in the sea of ​​​​spirituality, and he appeared to stop the four souls.

"Don't go out yet, and don't disturb him now."

His calm eyes swept across the four souls and also fell on the turbulent sea of ​​spirit. He pointed a finger at a distance, and instantly calmed all the turbulence in the sea of ​​spirit.

After he finished, he turned around and said, "This is still acceptable for Jun Ting. Besides, this test is also in his favor. You can only make a move at the last critical moment."

The four great spirits were a little worried when they heard this, but they also knew that what Alex said made sense. So, while they were doing their best to control the sea of ​​spirits and ensure that it remained stable, they watched Chen Junting step by step towards the terrifying pillar of destructive light.

Although Chen Junting's skin had become shriveled due to the excessive consumption of soul power and blood power during the journey, he still slowly approached the light column despite the destructive energy that was coming towards him.

It seems that the approaching action "irritated" the "scepter"...

"raging--"

A dazzling purple-red light suddenly flashed from the "Scepter of Destruction", and then the column of destruction suddenly burst out with flames like from hell.

Above the altar, sparks burst forth with such terrifying power that it seemed as if all life would be taken away wherever it reached, and even the soul would suffer a devastating blow.

Despite this sudden change, Chen Junting remained calm and continued to step into the light column to pull out the "Scepter of Destruction" that was inserted on the altar.

But as soon as he stepped into the beam of light, purple-red flames clung to him like maggots, and the terrifying destructive force instantly swept through his body like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

result,

In just less than a breath of time, the power contained in the destructive light column showed extremely astonishing destructive power, and Chen Junting's blood and soul power were instantly depleted by more than half.

Even with the protection of Qi, blood and soul, his life energy was quickly deprived. Moreover, under the double destruction of the scorching purple-red flames and the scouring of the destructive storm, Chen Junting's body, which had already stood at the peak of the mortal world, quickly shrank and his skin cracked.

The once vigorous body now looked like a skeleton.

As for his face, it had become extremely pale.

If ordinary people saw this, it would be quite terrifying.

At this moment, Chen Junting's body was already shaking instinctively and uncontrollably under the impact of the destructive energy, because in addition to the physical damage, his soul was also attacked. The pain was ten times greater than that of a torn brain, which made Chen Junting's mind dazed, and the dizziness and vertigo were just minor symptoms.

As for the rest…

The only thing that could be said was the beads of sweat on his forehead that were instantly eliminated by the destructive energy before they even appeared.

At the same time, Chen Junting's spiritual sea.

Originally, his sea of ​​consciousness was suppressed by the four great souls after Alex took action, and it temporarily returned to calm.

But the moment Chen Junting stepped into the destructive light column, the platforms that were frozen into blocks by the Snow Emperor shattered instantly. The impact of the destructive force made the sea of ​​​​spirituality seem like a sea at the end of the world.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the entire spiritual sea had become dim and turbulent, as if it could be capsized at any time.

The four great spirits tried their best to release their strongest power. In the end, they relied on their identities as the four sword masters of the Zhuxian Sword Formation to mobilize the Zhuxian Formation Diagram to suppress the sea of ​​spirit, which barely kept the sea of ​​spirit from collapsing.

But the soul and spirit are temporarily stabilized, but what about the body?

Chen Junting's body was already on the verge of collapse. In this state, it was only enough to support him until he touched the "Scepter of Destruction". He had to retreat!

At this moment, Chen Junting suddenly became clear.

This test absolutely requires obtaining the "Scepter of Destruction" first.

Because with the intensity of the destructive light column, let alone himself, even if Di Tian came here, he would never succeed.

Thinking of the "Scepter of Life" in the first test, Chen Junting already understood that if he wanted to successfully obtain the "Scepter of Destruction", he would need the help of the "Scepter of Life", otherwise it would be difficult to succeed!

unless…

He is sustained by the gold of living beings.

But in his opinion, this is obviously not cost-effective.

Because he would have to rely on the gold of life to sustain until he pulled out the "Scepter of Destruction", which would inevitably consume a huge amount of vitality. If calculated in this way, "this deal" would be a big loss.

Besides, it’s not like there are no other ways.

So, with his mind in a state of confusion, Chen Junting decided to retreat first and then go to the Destruction Forest to get the Scepter of Life.

However, just as he was about to use the vitality of the gold of life to exit the destructive light column and leave the altar... suddenly, a huge force suddenly grabbed Chen Junting's waist, and before he could react, he was pulled out!
Before Chen Junting could make any other reaction, the huge force disappeared from his waist.

At the same time, the spiritual power that was previously difficult to detect on the Altar of Destruction quickly radiated out and discovered the person who rescued him from the Altar of Destruction.

And that person was Di Tian.

It turned out that after parting with Chen Junting and the others, Di Tian also explored the island alone, and naturally discovered a miraculous place that was completely different from the Forest of Destruction - the Valley of Life.

After entering the Valley of Life, Di Tian discovered this purple-red pillar of destructive light below.

When he arrived here, he happened to see Chen Junting, who looked like a skeleton. Thinking that he was in great danger, he immediately took action.

Then, Di Tian flashed and climbed onto the altar like a ghost. He suddenly stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed Chen Junting.

But even though Di Tian was the strongest man in the Douluo plane, a ferocious beast with more than 800,000 years of cultivation, he did not dare to be arrogant in the face of the means of the God of Destruction. He even went all out as soon as he attacked, using his magical skill "Dragon God Claw" to clear the way!
At that moment, Di Tian's body was surrounded by a powerful soul light. He could be said to be withstanding the onslaught of that terrifying destructive energy and using the Dragon God Claw to tear a hole in the destructive light column.

Then, Di Tian grabbed Chen Junting with his dragon claws, and pulled him out of the destructive light column with force. Afterwards, Di Tian quickly left the altar with Chen Junting, and only then did he save Chen Junting "safely".

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Junting, who knew the whole story, was already breathing heavily while thanking Di Tian, ​​but he still positioned his very weak body with his five hearts facing the sky.

The next second, "Buzz——"

The life energy around seemed to come alive and instantly "rioted"!
The terrifying life energy gathered and formed a storm-like colander directly above Chen Junting's head, pouring a large amount of life energy into Chen Junting's shriveled body.

In just two or three breaths, Chen Junting's previous consumption was quickly replenished, and then he continued to absorb greedily, repairing the damaged sea of ​​​​spiritual and body.

It didn't stop until it was almost done.

Jianchen Junting opened his eyes during training...

"You are so brave, boy!"

Di Tian and Chen Junting looked at each other, and suddenly said this, then smiled inexplicably, and said: "But you are becoming more and more complicated. I have seen that even if I didn't take action just now, you could have retreated safely."

"Phew, I'm fine."

Slowly exhaling, Chen Junting raised a smile, "I won't die there so easily."

You are confident.

Di Tian glanced at his palm vaguely, and the charred palm was gradually recovering with the nourishment of life energy.

After covering the wound with his palm, he said, "The destructive energy attribute contained in that destructive light column has reached the god level. I'm afraid that your current physical and mental strength cannot withstand it. If you are not careful, your soul will be torn apart."

Chen Junting nodded. He knew very well that except for the part about mental power, what Di Tian said about the physical body was indeed true.

Although Di Tian's action just now was slight, he had seen it.

Think about it, even Di Tian, ​​whose body had reached god level, was injured after using the Dragon God Claw, let alone him?
Even if one's body has become mortal, it will not work.

Therefore, if you want to get the Scepter of Destruction, you must rely on external forces.

Coincidentally, when Di Tian saw Chen Junting trying to pull out the stick, he had the same idea as him. Moreover, Di Tian also brought Chen Junting a piece of news that he wanted to know.

"Life Column!?"

"Yes."

Di Tian raised his hand and pointed at the Altar of Destruction.

"Destruction is not like life. Once destruction comes, it is merciless. It is impossible for you to cross the light column and pull out the iron rod. Even I can't do it. You can only choose to rely on external forces. The iron rod on the altar of life is the best external force. After all, no matter what, that iron rod is easier to hold than this iron rod."

"Cough-cough-"

Just as Di Tian finished speaking, Chen Junting coughed and reminded him, "Senior Di Tian, ​​these two are actually scepters."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tian was surprised.

Calling the iron rod a scepter?

Since when did the mighty God King start talking nonsense?

He couldn't help but secretly criticize it, and then said seriously: "Then let's take the scepter. If you want to pull it out, you'd better go to the pillar of life. As it happens, I have encountered that pillar of life."

"What the senior said is exactly what I want."

Chen Junting nodded slightly, and after thanking him, he asked Di Tian for the specific location. After all, it was not easy to walk through the Destruction Forest. If you dawdle for a long time, the forest will become more dangerous.

Di Tian naturally did not hide this.

Then, he gave Chen Junting the route he remembered.

Then, the two said goodbye. In Di Tian's words, he was going back to take charge of the Xingdou Great Forest.
