When the flames from above and below sealed the area, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill seeping out from his bones. Although it was the flames that sealed the area, he felt like he was in an ice cave. His blood and energy were flowing at a slower speed!
Especially the energy and energy flow needed to leave this area. It was clearly 'frozen'! If the energy in his body could not complete this flow, he would not be able to leave this dark world.
Shao Xuan looked at the floor of flames beneath his feet. This had sealed off any chance of escape. He knew that Yi Xiang wanted to seal him and the hundred people from the Yi family here! Shao Xuan and the rest of the Yi family were like vegetables in a pot, while Yi Xiang was the one adding fuel to the fire.
Thinking of this, Shao Xuan could not help but shiver. He could not understand why Yi Xiang was so hostile towards him. Yi Xiang did not even look at Yi Tuan and the rest.
Shao Xuan would be lying if he said he did not regret putting himself in this predicament. But there was no time for regrets. Instead of thinking about this, he might as well use the time to think of a way out of this predicament.
Shao Xuan looked at the Yi family. He did not know this place well and might not be able to think of an effective way out in such a short period of time. However, the Yi family should be familiar with this place. So, what would the Yi family do in this situation?
If the Yi family could come up with an effective plan, Shao Xuan would know what to work on even if he could not replicate the Yi family's abilities.
Of course, Shao Xuan would not place all his hopes on the Yi family. He was also thinking hard about how to get out of this predicament.
The sealed area was divided into two parts, with the fire wall in front of Yi Xiang as the boundary. Yi Xiang stood on one side while Shao Xuan and the rest of the Yi family stood on the other.
However, Shao Xuan was alone and did not have as strong a presence as Yi Xiang. So, at first glance, it looked like there were only two sides facing off — Yi Xiang and the Yi family.
The Yi family reacted quickly. Even though the Yi family was less experienced and less capable, Yi Tuan and the other two had already considered the situation. They came up with multiple guesses but no matter which one they chose, they were not confident. In the end, Yi Tuan chose the most conservative option. He did not plan to fight Yi Xiang to the death with these hundred people. He decided to leave first. This was the first time they had a clear understanding of Yi Xiang's abilities. After they left, they had to think of other ways to stop Yi Xiang from 'wiping out the entire family'!
Yi Xiang was already on the move. The wall of fire, which looked like a heavenly wall, was no longer in a defensive position. As Yi Xiang pushed his palm forward, the wall of fire charged forward with the ferocity of ten thousand beasts. It was as if nothing in its path could stop it, as if it wanted to crush and flatten everything in its path!
Not just one or two Bone Reading Beasts, but an entire wall of fire! In such a sealed space, there was simply no chance for anyone to escape!
Even though this was not a physical body, Shao Xuan's back was drenched in sweat from nervousness. He looked at the wall of fire that was closing in on him. There was no way he could escape. He turned to look at the Yi family. As expected, the people at the front were starting to move.
This time, Yi Tuan and the other two did not use their Bone Reading Beasts. Yi Tuan raised a hand, holding something that looked like a tortoise shell.
Krak krak krak —
A series of collisions rang out, as if hard objects like bones were colliding with each other.
Yi Tuan shouted, reaching forward with the tortoise shell. In the next instant, the tortoise shell in his hand shone brightly. It was not a speck of light like the Bone Reading Beasts, but a ball of light!
The ball of light shot forward like a shooting star. Along the way, the ball of light rapidly changed.
"Break!"
In that instant, Shao Xuan felt as if a mountain was crashing down on him. The pressure on his body was increasing at an alarming rate.
Whoosh —
The sound of wind whipping the flames seemed to spread to every corner of the world. Even the pressure from Yi Xiang's wall of fire was pushed aside.
Rumble —
The sound of wind and fire changed into a thunderous roar.
Everything around him was shaking. Shao Xuan's entire body was swaying. In his field of vision, endless flames spewed out from the ball of light. The flames intertwined in the sky, and in the midst of the flames, a huge figure rushed out.
Shao Xuan stared in shock at the enormous creature.
Was that … a tortoise?
Unlike the tortoises Shao Xuan had seen before, the tortoise that appeared in front of him had a slender body. Its neck and tail were much longer than the tortoises Shao Xuan was familiar with. There were some thorns behind its neck and many protruding thorns on its tail. Its shell was undulating like hills, unlike the snapping tortoise in the Flaming Horns tribe, which had a sharp, jagged back. Instead, it had a heavy feeling like a mountain.
Its form was secondary. What shocked Shao Xuan was its size.
It was huge!
It was almost the same size as the giant beasts Shao Xuan had seen at Eagle Mountain!
Yi Tuan's Bone Reading Beasts could not even compare to a single claw of this giant tortoise.
An ancient giant beast!
This was Shao Xuan's first thought. The Yi family actually had something like this!
In fact, the Yi family did not have many tools made from the bones of ancient giant beasts. In fact, they were considered rare.
The Yi family's divination tools were all made by themselves or with the help of others. Only a few were passed down from their ancestors. The one Yi Tuan was using was one of the rare artifacts passed down from their ancestors. There had been some ancestral artifacts, but most of them had been destroyed after being used in some incident. This was one of the most precious artifacts passed down from generation to generation.
Tribes without fire pits had special burial grounds for their tribesmen, which was their tribe's graveyard. Of the six major tribes in the Royal City, the other five had their own graveyard. The Yi family was an exception. Although they had their own graveyard, many of them preferred to find their own graves. The more capable a person was, the more likely they were to find their own graves. When they felt that their time was up, they would leave the tribe, and the artifacts they had would be buried with them. Just like how the Ji family prepared grain in their graves, the Yi family's necessities were their own tools for divination.
There were very few people who had the ability to find the grave of one of the Yi family's ancestors, the courage to dig up their graves, and the ability to control the dead artifacts.
This was also the reason why the Yi family did not have many ancestral oracles. Yi Xiang was right when he said that their generation was not capable. Their divination tools were not as good as their ancestors'. This was also a reflection of their strength.
Even Yi Tuan, who held a high position in the Yi family, had to give up on his own bone divination and take out his ancestor's artifact.
Yi Xiang's body did not look strong but it was powerful enough to force Yi Tuan to take out his ancestor's artifact. The palm-sized tortoiseshell could only be seen at a time like this.
The giant tortoise opened its mouth and stretched its neck, its throat moving. An ancient and vigorous roar that Shao Xuan had never heard before came out of its mouth. It carried an insufferably domineering aura, as if it had traversed through endless time and space. Witnessing this scene with his own eyes was more shocking than anything recorded in any tribe's ancestral records!
Along with the roar, an immense pressure seemed to erupt. Shao Xuan felt the pressure around him increase exponentially. A huge force was crashing down on him. Under this pressure, Shao Xuan felt like a grasshopper that couldn't jump up. He could be crushed to death in the next moment.
Shao Xuan forced himself to look up, only to see the giant tortoise propping up its four limbs and running forward due to inertia. Then, the moment before it collided with the wall of fire, it raised its two front limbs to block the wall of fire.
Boom!
The two giant tortoise feet stomped heavily on the ground. The entire tortoise's body shook violently, the flames that made up its body splashing everywhere. As for the wall of fire, it exploded with countless sparks.
The sealed flames under the giant tortoise's feet trembled violently as it stomped on the ground. Like boiling water, the flames splashed upwards with gurgling sounds.
Within the sealed area, the flames on the wall of fire and the ground under their feet splashed with the tremors. The intertwining flames seemed to cover the sky and the sun. The giant tortoise's roar seemed to bring people into a strange ancient battlefield!
Shao Xuan's entire body suddenly bent under the pressure of the collision between the two sides. Then, with great difficulty, he straightened his back bit by bit.
In front of him, one side was a powerful freak, and the other side was an ancient giant beast that had been released. Under the collision of the two, everything else would be reduced to cannon fodder!
Shao Xuan was about to become cannon fodder under the endless roaring flames.
Shao Xuan seemed to hear the bones in his body creaking under the heavy pressure.
Even though Shao Xuan was not close to the center of the battlefield, just the enormous aura and pressure, as well as the shockwaves caused by the collision between the two, were enough to easily crush him!
The sound of wind and fire was like a war drum beating in his ears. Above his head, below his feet, and all around his body, there was an enormous pressure and shockwaves that could tear people apart. His vision was filled with flying flames, densely packed. Shao Xuan could no longer see the giant tortoise's figure clearly.
He felt as if he was standing in the middle of magma at the mouth of a volcano. Scorching heat waves were rolling all around him. Strong winds whistled, like red-hot knives hanging on his body. Every breath he took was like a fire burning in his nasal cavity. It was as if all the pores on his body were wide open and steam was spewing out.
The pressure around him was still increasing. The pressure his body could withstand was about to exceed its limit. If this continued, Shao Xuan would only have one outcome — death! Unless he could forcefully hack out a sliver of a chance to live under such enormous pressure and energy fluctuations!
He had to think of a way!
The Yi family's countermeasure was to use the giant tortoise to resist Yi Xiang's wall of fire. Shao Xuan, on the other hand, had to think of a way to survive, not to mention leaving!
Should he use the Bone Reading Beast like the Yi family?
Shao Xuan did not have a Bone Reading Beast, but he had an ancestor.
