Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 103 The Annihilation Heavenly Technique!

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi unleashed a divine power, blasting fiercely towards the barrier.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's divine power collided with the barrier, unleashing a dazzling light.

However, the barrier remained completely still, showing no signs of being shaken.

Instead, a powerful recoil force sent the Holy Maiden of Yaochi staggering back several steps, her face turning pale.

"Such powerful strength!" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi exclaimed, her voice filled with shock.

"I'll try again!" Xiao Chen shouted, frantically pouring his divine power into his palms.

A dazzling radiance flowed around him, as if a war god had descended.

He roared and unleashed both palms, slamming them fiercely towards the barrier...

However, the expected scene of the barrier breaking did not appear, and the seemingly thin light curtain remained completely still!
"Damn it!" Xiao Chen abruptly withdrew his palms, his brows furrowed.

He clearly felt that his attack had not only failed to damage the barrier in the slightest, but had actually made it even more stable.

"This barrier is incredibly strange!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi bit her lower lip, her beautiful face covered with a layer of frost.

Her previous attack had also failed miserably; the strangeness of this barrier far exceeded their expectations.

"Could it be... some kind of ancient restriction?" Master Lingxu stroked his snow-white beard, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

He slowly raised his right hand, a golden rune condensing at his fingertips, and gently touched the barrier.

The moment the rune touched the barrier, it vanished instantly, like a moth drawn to a flame.

"As expected!" Master Lingxu's expression changed slightly. "This barrier contains an extremely ancient power that I have never seen before."

Master Xuanfeng, who was standing to the side, also tried to use the secret techniques of Qingfeng Temple, but he also failed.

He shook his head and sighed, "The structure of this barrier is related to the seal we encountered before, but it is more complex. It seems to have incorporated some kind of spatial power."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

The power of space is a force that even powerful beings find difficult to control. If this barrier is truly related to the power of space, then breaking through it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

For a moment, the cave fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone is racking their brains, trying to find a solution.

"Hmph! It's just a broken barrier, isn't it? Let this old man handle it!" Greedy Wolf Master smiled sinisterly. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A surge of black energy erupted from his body, transforming into a ferocious ghost claw that fiercely grabbed at the barrier.

"Stop!" Xiao Chen shouted sharply upon seeing this. "Your evil magic will only make things worse!"

Tanlang Zhenren ignored him and slammed his ghostly claws against the barrier.

However, unlike the previous attacks, the ghostly claw was not absorbed by the barrier. Instead, it let out a shrill scream and instantly dissipated.

The backlash caused Tanlang Zhenren to cough up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale instantly.

"This...how is this possible?!" Greedy Wolf Master stared wide-eyed in horror. His proud evil technique couldn't even break through the barrier's defense!

"I told you, your evil magic is useless!" Xiao Chen sneered.

Seeing this, everyone felt even more desperate.

Even the evil magic of the Greedy Wolf Immortal was useless, so what other methods could they possibly use?
The big black dog suddenly barked, "I think I've discovered something!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a big black dog squatting in the corner of the cave, sniffing the soil on the ground.

"You damn dog, what are you up to now?" Xiao Chen asked irritably.

The big black dog raised its head, its eyes gleaming with excitement: "Kid, come and take a look."

Xiao Chen stepped forward and carefully examined the runes on the ground.

These runes are somewhat similar to those used when the seal was broken, but they are also different, being more complex and mysterious.

"Could it be...?" A bold idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Chen's mind.

"Give it a try!" the big black dog urged. "Try it with your bronze mirror!"

Surprisingly, the bronze mirror was not absorbed by the barrier like the previous divine attacks; instead, it resonated with the barrier in a special way.

The bronze mirror emitted a faint golden light, which complemented the light on the screen.

"Ka...ka..."

Tiny cracks had appeared on the barrier!

"It's done!" Everyone's spirits lifted upon seeing this.

This unconventional approach actually worked!
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, let's inject our divine power into the bronze mirror!"

No one dared to be negligent, and they all poured their divine power into it.

The bronze mirror greedily absorbed this enormous energy, and its golden light became even more dazzling.

"Crack...knock..."

The once impregnable barrier is now riddled with cracks, which are spreading at a visible rate.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gritted her teeth, exerting all her divine power, a blush rising on her beautiful face.

The big black dog was so excited that it danced around and barked loudly.

However, just when everyone thought the barrier was about to collapse, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, an eerie, intense light flashed across the surface of the barrier, instantly enveloping everyone within it.

"This is bad!" A strong sense of alarm rose in Xiao Chen's heart.

He tried to break free, but found himself locked in place by a powerful force, unable to move at all.

"boom!"

There was a deafening bang.

Everyone felt an irresistible force slam into their chests, as if their internal organs were about to shift. They felt a sweet taste in their throats, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

The pain instantly spread throughout their bodies, causing everyone to almost lose consciousness.

When the light faded, the group struggled to their feet, only to find that the barrier, which had been riddled with cracks, was now perfectly intact.

“How could this be…” Master Lingxu’s face turned pale.

"Woof! What... what is going on?" The big black dog ignored the pain in its body and stared at the barrier in front of it in horror.

“Something’s not right…” Xiao Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the barrier in front of him, his heart filled with turmoil.

The force of the barrier's recoil was truly strange.

"It seems to be absorbing our power!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's voice was clear and cold, yet tinged with a hint of solemnity.

She had just used a secret method to investigate and vaguely sensed some clues.

The big black dog also came to its senses. It bared its teeth, revealing a fierce look, but its eyes held a hint of doubt: "Woof! This thing...could it be alive?!"

"Alive?" Li Heishui's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Xiao Chen ignored the astonishment and doubt of the crowd; his mind was racing.

There was indeed a slight loosening when the bronze mirror resonated with the barrier just now.

This shows that the direction is correct, but... the method is not perfect enough.

"Quiet down, everyone!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice. His voice was not loud, but it carried a convincing power. "The divine power we injected is not pure enough, and the frequency is not precise enough."

.

“Next, everyone do as I say.” Xiao Chen’s gaze was firm. “Slowly inject your divine power into the bronze mirror, paying attention to the frequency. Make sure it matches the fluctuations on this stone!” Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their state and carefully injected their divine power into the bronze mirror according to Xiao Chen’s instructions.

Xiao Chen stood at the very front, his hands constantly changing hand seals, guiding the crowd.
Finally, after a long wait, the bronze mirror began to hum again.

This time, the buzzing sound was even stronger and lasted longer.

Fine cracks reappeared on the barrier and were expanding at a visible rate.

"Now!" Xiao Chen shouted, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Everyone, increase your divine power output and use your spells to assist in the attack!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately unleashed their divine power without reservation, and various spells rained down on the barrier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deafening explosions continued to rang out.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi held a jade ruyi, and beams of holy light poured down, reinforcing everyone's defenses and resisting the backlash from the barrier.

Jiang Huai Ren brandished his halberd, and sharp halberd beams tore through the air and struck the barrier.

Even the gray-robed man, who had been silent all along, made his move at this moment.

He formed hand seals, and mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, merging into the barrier.

"What amazing magic!" Master Lingxu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

With everyone's combined attack, the cracks in the barrier grew wider and wider, until finally…

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the entire cave.

The seemingly indestructible barrier finally crumbled completely in front of everyone!

"It's broken! We succeeded!" Li Heishui shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

Xiao Chen let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, he did not let his guard down.

"Everyone be careful, let's go in and take a look!" Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, and took the lead in walking towards the place where the barrier was broken.

The crowd followed closely behind, filing in one after another.

Once they passed through the barrier, the scene before them changed dramatically.

The narrow, dark cave has disappeared, replaced by a vast, bright space.

The spiritual energy here is so rich that it's almost tangible, making people feel refreshed and full of energy.

In the distance, ancient buildings appear and disappear in the distance.

“This…this is…” Li Heishui stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock.

"Is this the final destination?" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi murmured to herself, her eyes filled with curiosity.

The big black dog's nose twitched incessantly, as if sniffing something: "Woof! Such rich spiritual energy! There's definitely something good here!"

Xiao Chen could sense that the spiritual energy here was more than ten times denser than outside.

Cultivating here will definitely make you achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at an ancient altar.

The altar was about three zhang high and was made entirely of unknown stones, covered with ancient runes.

In the center of the altar, two items were placed.

An ancient book radiating golden light, and a spirit pearl shimmering with seven-colored light.

"This is..." Master Lingxu stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Such powerful energy fluctuations!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was also shocked.

Xiao Chen walked to the altar and carefully examined the ancient book and the spirit pearl.

On the cover of the ancient book are written several simple and vigorous characters: "The Art of Annihilation".

The spirit pearl, on the other hand, emitted a heart-stopping energy fluctuation, as if it contained boundless power.

"This... could this be an ancient immortal technique manual or a rare treasure?" Li Heishui's voice trembled slightly.

The big black dog was so excited that it danced around, yelling, "Woof! We're rich! We're rich! This time we're really rich!"

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He knew that the value of these two items was absolutely immeasurable.

“This ancient book should have been left behind by the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation from the mythological era!” the gray-robed man said slowly, his voice still hoarse and deep.

"And this spirit pearl is a rare and precious natural treasure with powerful energy. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary Chaos Spirit Pearl!"

"The Chaos Spirit Pearl?" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

“That’s right, it’s the Chaos Spirit Pearl.” The gray-robed man nodded. “The Chaos Spirit Pearl contains chaotic energy and possesses powerful energy that can help cultivators improve their cultivation and enhance their strength.”

"If we can obtain this Chaos Spirit Pearl and refine it, then... our strength will be greatly enhanced!"

Xiao Chen could feel that this Chaos Spirit Pearl had a great attraction for him.

If he could obtain it, then... his strength would increase by leaps and bounds!
Just as Xiao Chen was about to reach for the Chaos Spirit Pearl, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi suddenly stopped him.

"Xiao Chen, wait!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's voice was cold, yet tinged with worry. "I feel... there's something fishy about this."

"Strange?" Xiao Chen looked at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi with some doubt.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi nodded, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings, her expression grave: "Don't you feel that everything here is going too smoothly?"

"Since we entered the ruins, although we have encountered some obstacles, we have been able to overcome them easily."

"Moreover, such precious treasures are displayed on this altar. Doesn't the owner of this place fear that they will be stolen?"

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat at the words of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Yes, everything here is going too smoothly.

It went so smoothly that it was almost abnormal.

Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?
Just then, the big black dog suddenly started barking wildly at a corner of the altar: "Woof! Something's wrong! There...something strange there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked in the direction the big black dog was pointing.

In a corner of the altar, a skeleton lay quietly.

The skeleton was entirely black, exuding a chilling aura.

"What...what is this?" Li Heishui's voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Chen walked up to the skeleton and examined it carefully.

He discovered that there was a line of small characters engraved on the chest of the skeleton.

The small characters were written in an ancient script that Xiao Chen did not recognize.

However, he could sense that the small characters contained an extremely evil and sinister aura.

"What does this line of text mean?" Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.

The man in the gray robe stepped forward and carefully examined the line of small characters.

A moment later, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Oh no! Back off!" he exclaimed, pulling Xiao Chen away.
