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

Chapter 114 The Core Area!

"You beast! Cease your arrogance!" Master Xuanfeng roared, and with a flick of his whisk, a sharp sword aura shot out, heading straight for the monster's chest.

Not to be outdone, Master Lingxu summoned a golden longsword, its blade shimmering with golden light and radiating a powerful aura, as he slashed towards the monster's head.

"boom!"

The sword energy and the golden sword struck the monster hard, producing a deafening roar.

However, the monster's scales were incredibly tough, and the sword energy and golden sword only left a few shallow white marks on its body, unable to harm it at all.

The monster let out an angry roar, its huge body suddenly shuddered, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards from it.

Caught off guard, Master Xuanfeng and Master Lingxu were thrown backward by the shockwave, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Fairy Zixiao immediately stepped in to help.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gently raised her jade hand, and a soft holy light enveloped Daoist Xuanfeng and Daoist Lingxu, helping them heal their injuries.

Fairy Zixiao then summoned a purple longsword, its blade flashing with purple light, and pierced towards the monster's eyes like a bolt of lightning.

However, the monster was extremely fast, and it suddenly tilted its head to dodge the attack from Fairy Zixiao.

At the same time, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a ball of black demonic flames, which swept towards Fairy Zixiao.

Zixiao Fairy's expression changed, and she quickly swung her sword to defend herself.

The demonic flames were extremely hot, instantly burning her sleeves to ashes and revealing her fair skin.

"Damn it!" Fairy Zixiao cursed inwardly, secretly glad that she had dodged in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The big black dog and Jiang Huai-ren searched for the monster's weaknesses, but the monster's defenses were too strong, and they couldn't find any openings.

"This beast's skin is too thick!" the big black dog couldn't help but complain.

"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution!" Jiang Huai-ren said anxiously.

Just as everyone was in trouble, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed that the monster's eyes would squint slightly when it attacked, as if it was protecting its eyes.

"The eyes! Its weakness is the eyes!" Xiao Chen shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the monster's eyes.

"But it's too fast, and it's difficult for us to attack its eyes," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said worriedly.

"I'll do it!" Xiao Chen

"Kid, watch out!" the big black dog warned.

Ignoring the big black dog's warning, Xiao Chen pushed off with his feet and shot towards the monster's eyes like an arrow.

The monster seemed to have sensed Xiao Chen's intention. It let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen dodged the monster's attack with a swift movement.

His longsword flashed like lightning, piercing fiercely towards the monster's right eye.

"puff!"

The longsword pierced the monster's eye, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Ow—"

The monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body trembled violently.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from inside the Ancient Immortal Mansion, like something was moving, or like the sound of a mountain collapsing.

"Oh no! This place is going to collapse!" the big black dog exclaimed.

"Kill this beast first!" Xiao Chen said through gritted teeth.

"It's too late!" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said, her face pale. "We must leave here immediately!"

"boom!"

The celestial abode trembled violently, shattered rocks rained down, demons roared wildly, and a foul wind swept through.

Xiao Chen remained unmoved, took a deep breath, and the stench rushed to his head, making his stomach churn.

But this feeling of disgust only fueled the ruthlessness in his bones.

In a life-or-death situation, there is no room for hesitation!

"We can't fight head-on, we have to outsmart them!" Xiao Chen shouted sharply, his voice echoing in the crumbling immortal mansion, carrying an undeniable determination.

He looked around, his eyes sharp as lightning, and quickly spotted a narrow passage.

The passage was flanked by jagged rocks, and its low, narrow ceiling was perfect for confining the monster's enormous body.

"Big Black Dog, Jiang Huai Ren, you two come with me! The rest of you, hold it off!" Xiao Chen made a quick decision, his figure flashing as he rushed towards the passage.

Big Black Dog and Jiang Huai Ren followed closely behind, the three of them like three black lightning bolts, weaving through the collapsed boulders.

Behind them, the monster's roar was deafening. The boulders were smashed to pieces by its thick limbs, and the ground trembled as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Greedy Wolf, Illusion Moon, use your evil magic to bewitch its eyes!" Xiao Chen shouted behind him as he ran.

Tanlang Zhenren and Huanyue Yaoji exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a sinister smile.

Tanlang Zhenren rapidly formed hand seals while chanting incantations. Clumps of black mist surged from his fingertips, transforming into various hideous and terrifying illusions that drifted toward the monster's eyes.

The Illusionary Moon Demoness swayed her hips and danced gracefully, chanting ancient incantations. Rings of pink smoke emanated from her body, enveloping the demon like a bewitching incense.

The monster was distracted by illusions and smoke, its vision blurred, and its movements became sluggish.

It roared angrily, waving its enormous claws, but could only shatter some air and illusions, unable to touch the people at all.

"Now!" Xiao Chen roared, his body suddenly accelerating as he rushed into the narrow passage.

The big black dog and Jiang Huai-ren followed closely behind. The three of them quickly dispersed in the passage, forming a triangular encirclement that trapped the monster within.

The monster's enormous body was confined to the narrow passage, making its movement extremely difficult.

It struggled angrily, but could only crash into the stone walls on both sides, producing a deafening roar.

Gravel kept falling, dust flew everywhere, and the entire passage seemed about to collapse.

"Jiang Huai Ren, its eyes!" Xiao Chen shouted, and swung his long sword out, a sharp sword aura aimed straight at the monster's left eye.

The monster cried out in pain, letting out a shrill scream, and its huge body trembled violently.

Jiang Huai-ren seized the opportunity, wielding the dagger he had obtained from the treasure vault, and leaped up like a cheetah, lunging straight for the monster's right eye.

"Pfft!" The dagger pierced the monster's eye precisely, and blood gushed out, staining Jiang Huai Ren's face red.

"Roar!" The monster let out a painful howl, and its huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Well done!" Xiao Chen gave Jiang Huai Ren an approving look, then shouted to the others, "Everyone, let's attack together and finish it off!"

Seeing this, Daoist Xuanfeng and Daoist Lingxu also unleashed their strongest immortal techniques.

Beams of dazzling light shot out from their hands, striking the monster's body like meteors.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Fairy Zixiao then released powerful spiritual energy in unison, forming invisible energy fluctuations that continuously impacted the monster's defenses.

With everyone's combined attack, the monster's defenses were finally breached. Its life force rapidly drained away, its massive body gradually became transparent, and finally, it turned into specks of starlight, dissipating into the air. "Finally, it's over..."

Xiao Chen let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked around. He found that although everyone was a bit disheveled, they were all safe and sound.

"This ancient immortal abode... seems rather strange..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence. Her beautiful eyes flashed with an inexplicable light as she looked into the depths of the passage.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and took the lead into the depths of the passage, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation.

As you continue deeper into the narrow passage, a chill washes over you, a stark contrast to the previous heat.

Strange patterns began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, resembling ancient script or mysterious patterns, shimmering with a faint glow and illuminating the path ahead.

"Woof! This place... is kind of interesting..."

The big black dog twitched its nose, as if it had caught a peculiar scent. It pawed restlessly on the ground, its tail wagging incessantly.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the view suddenly opened up, and a huge stone chamber appeared before them.

In the center of the stone chamber stood a majestic stone door, covered with intricate runes that shimmered with an eerie light in the dim light, like winding snakes.

"This...this could be...the core of the Ancient Immortal Mansion?" Jiang Huai Ren's eyes widened, his tone filled with disbelief.

The big black dog circled the stone gate several times, sniffing incessantly and occasionally making "woofing" sounds.

"That's right, this dog's nose is sniffing right into the core of the ancient immortal abode! These runes, tsk tsk, ancient and powerful, containing endless mysteries..."

As it spoke, it stretched out its paw and gently touched the runes on the stone door, and a strange energy fluctuation instantly spread throughout the entire stone chamber.

"Don't touch it!" Xiao Chen grabbed the big black dog. "Who knows what this thing is? If it triggers some kind of restriction, we're all doomed!"

The big black dog snorted twice in dissatisfaction, retracting its paws, but its eyes remained fixed on the runes on the stone door, muttering incessantly, "The numbers of heaven, the five elements and eight trigrams, the cycle of life and death...tsk tsk, this is something that has been lost for a long time..."

"What did you figure out?" Xiao Chen asked. He knew that although the big black dog was usually carefree, he had an amazing talent for arrays and runes.

"Hehe, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, but... I can be certain that behind this stone door lies the greatest secret of the ancient immortal abode!"

The big black dog spoke mysteriously, a sly glint in its eyes.

Just as everyone was preparing to figure out how to open the stone door, the stone door suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the runes seemed to come alive, moving and dancing around the stone door.

Amidst the light, a colossal figure slowly emerged, and an oppressive aura instantly enveloped the entire stone chamber.

The figure was several meters tall, its entire body shrouded in golden light, obscuring its features. Only a pair of enormous eyes, like two burning suns, could be vaguely seen, radiating a chilling light.

"Anyone who trespasses on this forbidden area shall die!" A deep and majestic voice echoed in the stone chamber, like a demonic sound from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi couldn't help but take a step back, her face turning slightly pale.

"The guardians... are the guardians of the ancient immortal abode..."

Xiao Chen suppressed his fear and stared firmly at the enormous figure.

"We have no ill intentions, we just want to..."

"Step back, or you will be killed without mercy!" The guardian interrupted Xiao Chen, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Trying to stop me?" Xiao Chen sneered. "Then try!"

A chilling killing intent erupted from him instantly, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing straight into the sky.

The guardian's massive body trembled slightly, as if sensing the indomitable fighting spirit emanating from Xiao Chen.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gently covered her mouth with her jade hand, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The aura of this guardian was so terrifying that it made her feel a chill run down her spine.

"Xiao Chen, don't be reckless!" Master Xuanfeng hurriedly advised.

Although he also had a heart to eliminate evil and protect the righteous, he had to act cautiously in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Xiao Chen ignored Xuanfeng Daoist's advice, knowing full well that the secret hidden behind the stone gate might be of great importance to everyone.

He stared intently at the guardian, his mind racing, trying to find its weakness.

The big black dog paced around the guardian's massive body, its nose constantly sniffing, as if trying to sniff out some clue.

“Woof! This thing is interesting…” it suddenly said, “The power of this guardian seems to be related to these runes.”

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he followed the big black dog's gaze to the runes on the stone gate.

Sure enough, the runes shimmered with golden light, echoing the light emanating from the guardian, suggesting some kind of connection.

"You mean..." Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking.

“That’s right,” the big black dog grinned, revealing two sharp canine teeth, “By disrupting these runes, we can weaken the guardian’s power!”

Xiao Chen immediately had a plan in mind.

"Greedy Wolf Immortal, Illusion Moon Demoness, you two are using evil magic to disrupt the runes! Everyone else, prepare to attack!"

Tanlang Zhenren and Huanyue Yaoji exchanged a glance. Although they were not righteous people, they understood that only by working together could they overcome the difficulties.

The two immediately sprang into action, each unleashing bizarre spells. Wisps of black smoke and purple flames clung to the runes on the stone gate like maggots clinging to bones.

The runes flickered erratically, and the guardian's body began to tremble slightly.

"Now!" Xiao Chen roared and launched the first attack.

The longsword in his hand transformed into a dazzling golden light, piercing straight into the guardian's chest.

Master Xuanfeng and Master Lingxu followed closely behind, each unleashing their powerful immortal techniques.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Fairy Zixiao flanked from both sides, unleashing their pure spiritual power to attack the guardian's weak points.

The big black dog and Jiang Huai Ren also found an opportunity. They moved nimbly, like two bolts of lightning, shuttling around the guardian and looking for a chance to break through its defenses.

The guardians were attacked from multiple directions and were struggling to defend themselves for a time.

Although it possesses great power, its movements are restricted by runes, preventing it from unleashing its full potential.

Xiao Chen seized the opportunity and unleashed the precious technique he had comprehended in the ruins.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A powerful energy surged within him, eventually converging at his fingertips.

"break!"

Xiao Chen roared, and a dazzling light shot out from his fingertip, like a sharp arrow, striking the vital point.

The guardian let out a painful roar, and its massive body trembled violently.

The golden light on his body gradually dimmed, and his power began to weaken.

The group's attacks intensified, pouring down like a storm.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the guardian collapsed to the ground, turning into a golden speck of light that dissipated into the air.
