Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Chapter 70 The God King Escapes

The second entry into Purple Mountain went incredibly smoothly. Led by the Black Emperor, the man and his dog encountered nothing unusual and arrived at the stone wall where Jiang Taixu was.

Along the way, Luo Qianqiu felt a mix of emotions. He actually felt an unparalleled sense of security from a dog.

Being by the Black Emperor's side, he actually felt like the sky wouldn't fall.

Indeed, this was the case. As they ventured deeper into Zishan, the man and his dog strode along, their footsteps echoing through the passage, yet no creature emerged from the entire way.

Is it that they didn't feel it? No, it's because they dared not step forward.

It should be noted that Luo Qianqiu did not even wear a stone armor this time, and his aura was not concealed in the slightest. He just swaggered to the finish line like this.

To be honest, in this small area of ​​Zishan, the Prince of Wushi has gained immense prestige.

"Boy, don't look at me with such worshipful eyes." Black King puffed out his chest and raised his head, exuding an incomparably domineering aura.

"Awesome!" Luo Qianqiu gave Black Emperor a thumbs up, completely convinced.

"Stop pretending. Where is my sacred text of demons?" the Black Emperor said arrogantly.

At this moment, it seemed to have truly become a dog king reigning over the heavens and the earth, looking down upon the world with disdain, and no one dared to contend with it!

They're just bullying others!

Such a sentence involuntarily floated into Luo Qianqiu's mind, but his actions were not delayed at all. He pointed out with one finger, and a dazzling divine light shot out from his fingertip and flew into the Black Emperor's brow.

This time it's the complete Sendai arc, without any breaks in between.

The Black Emperor gazed at the ancient characters dancing in his sea of ​​consciousness, completely absorbed, and squatted in the corner, oblivious to everything else, as he began to comprehend them.

"Why are you—going into Purple Mountain again?" Jiang Taixu's divine sense transmitted out, very weak, but also revealing a kind of anxiety.

At this moment, he truly felt how troublesome his own son was.

Even someone like him, who was already a Great King four thousand years ago, fell victim to a demonic place like Purple Mountain, which shows how dangerous it is.

But what about Luo Qianqiu? Even though he is a fifth-level Dao Palace cultivator with powerful combat strength, capable of sweeping through the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he is still just an ant in the end. Yet he has repeatedly broken into this place, making people worry for him.

"Don't worry, God King. I came in openly this time. Those ancient creatures have sensed my presence, but they dare not make a move," Luo Qianqiu reassured him.

This single sentence silenced Jiang Taixu. He strained to extend his divine sense, and was immediately startled.

The entire Purple Mountain was filled with countless powerful auras at this moment, yet they remained remarkably quiet.

The ancient creatures seemed to be afraid of something, not daring to reveal even the slightest bit of their aura, and were extremely restrained.

"What...what's going on?" Jiang Taixu was shocked, not understanding what had happened.

"It's the Boundless Bell. It's unleashing its power, intimidating all the ancient creatures and preventing them from making any unusual moves," Luo Qianqiu explained.

But that was all he said; he didn't explain why Wushizhong unleashed its power.

Although Jiang Taixu had been imprisoned for four thousand years, his mind remained clear. He noticed Luo Qianqiu's vague words and knew that there was a great secret to be revealed.

Such matters are obviously not something that can be spoken aloud, so he did not continue to inquire but instead asked about other things.

"You—are you—prepared—to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqiu took out his jade bottle and told Jiang Taixu about his plan, asking him if it was feasible.

"No need for such trouble." After a long while, Jiang Taixu's weak voice came out, intermittent but very clear, with a belief in survival.

"Divine King Body - Great Perfection - Invulnerable to All Poisons - "

Luo Qianqiu understood Jiang Taixu's meaning: there was no need to refine the poison of the Human Essence Fruit, as the other party was not afraid of this poison.

"In that case, I will send the Human Essence Fruit in." Without hesitation, Luo Qianqiu summoned the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire, released Lin Jia, and then sealed the Jade Purification Bottle inside.

Lin Jia: ————

She was a little confused about the situation, but she didn't say anything and stood quietly beside Luo Qianqiu.

"boom!"

The Divine Furnace of Departure radiated a five-colored divine light, pushed to its limit, its terrifying power spreading wildly, and the great sun and phoenix on the furnace seemed to come alive.

"Clang!"

The five-colored glazed light shone brightly, the lid of the bronze furnace moved, and in an instant, flames shot into the sky, and a blazing fire appeared, like a divine sea, surging towards the stone wall in front.

In an instant, the entire stone wall trembled, and one Dao pattern after another appeared, fighting against the Li Fire.

The tranquility of Zishan was shattered as more and more ancient creatures awoke. But before they could react, an overwhelming pressure that left them with no will to resist enveloped them.

The powerful ancient creature instantly realized the situation and dared not make even the slightest noise, for fear of being noticed by Wushi Zhong and then being blasted into dust.

The demonic land in the eyes of the world, and the forbidden land regarded by countless cultivators, was extremely quiet at this moment, with only the rumbling sound of the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire audible.

"Bang!"

After an unknown amount of time, the Fire God Furnace finally broke through the stone wall, creating a hole the size of a fist.

Then, the Fire Furnace shrank to an inch in height and rushed to the other side of the stone wall with lightning speed.

Almost simultaneously, the small hole disappeared, healed completely, and everything returned to normal.

"Thank you—please wait a moment—" Jiang Taixu's weak but delighted voice came from inside.

For four thousand years, he has endured the struggle between life and death, and now he is long since exhausted.

However, because of this, he gained tremendous benefits, breaking through the shackles of the God-King Body, and was only one step away from entering the realm of the Four Immortal Saints.

However, due to the extreme conditions, he could not get any replenishment, which is why he was stuck at the bottleneck and could not make any progress.

But now, the appearance of the Human Essence Fruit has not only given him hope for life, but also given him a glimmer of opportunity.

Jiang Taixu was like a dried-up riverbed at this moment. He didn't need to dig canals to draw water; a single rainstorm would cause the upstream river to breach its banks and flood the riverbed.

For Jiang Taixu at this moment, the Human Yuan Fruit was like a rainstorm; no matter how fierce it was, it was merely a trigger to cause the upstream river to rush down.

"It's truly a blessing that Heaven didn't forsake Jiang Taixu. If it had been two years later, even if there were a Yuan Fruit, it would have been nothing more than a drop in the ocean for me at that time."

Within the stone wall, a glint of light flashed in Jiang Taixu's almost dim eyes. He exerted all his strength to retrieve the Human Essence Fruit from the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire and began to bite into it with great effort.

The bitter taste filled his mouth, but he enjoyed it and swallowed the fruit with difficulty.

"boom!"

A surge of vital energy exploded forth, like a light rain nourishing Jiang Taixu's body.

Like land scorched by the blazing sun, cracked and fissured, everything becomes moist after a light rain.

The body, which was almost entirely made of bones, gradually began to glow faintly. Blood was born from the bone marrow, very weakly, and began to flow to the limbs and bones.

Stimulated by this surge of vital energy, the body, which was exhausted, seemed to gradually recover. With the help of the relatively weak vital energy of the human essence fruit, its surging potential began to rise.

At this moment, Jiang Taixu was like a spring that had been pressed to the bottom by a sacred mountain. Once the sacred mountain was pried open even slightly, it would be the time for him to bounce back from rock bottom.

"Boom boom boom!"

A terrifying aura gradually rose, and Jiang Taixu's body began to slowly fill out. Although he was still thin, he was much better than when he was skin and bones.

The terrifying transformation did not end there; it continued until the essence of the Human Essence Fruit was completely exhausted, at which point it finally stopped.

But at this moment, Jiang Taixu had gone from skin and bones to a bamboo pole. His condition was still worrying, but he had gained the power to resist.

He stood up somewhat awkwardly, his bones cracking and popping as if a rusty machine were slowly starting to run.

"A dragon that swims in shallow waters will eventually return to the vast ocean!"

This statement perfectly reflects Jiang Taixu's current state. He held the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire, and his not-so-surging divine power flowed into it.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Divine Furnace of Departure erupted with an unprecedented aura, many times stronger than when it was in Luo Qianqiu's hands.

The seemingly indestructible stone wall, under the unparalleled power, was burned by the fire, creating a hole as tall as a person.

Jiang Taixu, with his slender, bamboo-like figure, strode firmly out of the stone cave. Although he was in extremely poor condition, his eyes were terrifyingly bright, as if they contained a universe within them.

"Congratulations, God King, on your escape!" Luo Qianqiu said with delight.

Although he had imagined this scene, it was still just a thought. Now that it had come true, it still made him feel excited.

"And thank you for your help, otherwise I'm afraid I would have perished here." Jiang Taixu's voice was weak, but he was no longer in a state where he could perish at any moment.
