Jiuyou Dragon Emperor's subordinates were the Nine Nether Envoys. When the four of them worked together, they could display very powerful strength. The four ancient palaces they possessed were actually a series of top grade ancient weapons.
If the four ancient palaces worked together, they could lay down a very powerful defensive formation. Even Jiuyou Dragon Emperor at his peak couldn't break through it. It was clear how terrifying it was!
This was something Xi Yangwu had heard from the Death Envoy and she had told Shu Chan about.
Now that Xi Yangwu had inherited Death Ancient Palace, Shu Chan had inherited Asura Ancient Palace, and Dugu Yijian had inherited Yellow Spring Ancient Palace, the three ancient palaces could form an incomplete defensive formation!
Although the defensive ability wouldn't be as strong as the four ancient palaces combined, it should be somewhat effective in blocking the spread of the sea of death aura.
In the sky above Asura City, the three ancient palaces revealed themselves. Because they had to combine their strength to form a defensive formation, there was no need to waste any energy to conceal themselves. In any case, no one could see them.
Near the sea of death aura, all the martial cultivators, sects, and clans had fled. How could they dare to stay here for even half a step?
"Dugu Yijian, get ready. Let's kill our way out!"
Shu Chan's delicate body rose up and said to Dugu Yijian in the sky.
Dugu Yijian nodded but didn't say anything. He had always listened to Shu Chan.
Xi Yangwu also flew up and brought the two of them and the three ancient palaces out of Asura City. "Outside Asura City, there are too many awakened souls of emperor realm and emperor realm. Let's kill them all first!"
Asura Ancient Palace, Asura Thought Killing Formation!
Shu Chan raised her hand and unleashed a technique. From the Asura Ancient Palace, a wave of Asura Killing Intent surged out and enveloped the awakened souls outside the city. Even the awakened souls of the Emperor Realm were in great pain under this technique.
However, to eliminate the awakened souls of emperor realm awakened souls, Shu Chan alone wasn't enough.
"Underworld Soul Assimilation Array!"
Yellow Springs Divine Characters blossomed from the Yellow Springs Ancient Palace, and a sinister and terrifying aura suppressed the land outside Asura City, wiping out the countless souls of the dead.
"River of Death!"
Inside the Death Ancient Palace, the power of endless Death Divine Characters surged out and formed a long river. Since Xi Yangwu was the direct disciple of the Death Envoy, the power of this Death River was many times stronger than the Shura Will Killing Formation and the Underworld Soul-Devouring Formation.
The River of Death flowed out, and the power of the Divine Runes of Death engulfed the countless awakened souls, causing them to dissipate completely!
The souls of the giant beasts that had died once were even more fearful of the power of death. Even though the three of them hadn't been able to eliminate all of the souls, they had managed to scare away the remaining souls, causing them to retreat into the distance.
The power of the Divine Runes of Death was too much of a deterrent to these awakened souls. The moment Xi Yangwu made her move, the River of Death flowed out, clearing out a large area outside Asura City.
Following that, the three of them flew out of the city with the three ancient palaces. At this time, the sea of death qi was only a hundred li away from Asura City.
At this distance, there was a Sovereign Secret Realm level flying beast soul that blotted out the sun. It was like a mountain, and it was pressing down on Asura City, bringing with it a dense sea of death qi.
Inside Asura City, everyone who was still standing became incomparably nervous.
Could the three ancient palaces really stop the sea of death qi from spreading? Could they resist the pressure of the Sovereign Secret Realm level flying beast soul?
If they couldn't, Asura City wouldn't be able to defend. One had to know that this city was built with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless people, and they had been defending it until now.
If Asura City was destroyed now, many people wouldn't be able to accept it.
"It's starting!"
Outside the city, Xi Yangwu, Shu Chan, and Dugu Yijian looked at each other and nodded. Then, they activated the three ancient palaces at the same time. The three ancient palaces rose into the sky, but in front of the flying beast soul that was a hundred li away, they were like three small toys.
"Nine Nether Soaring Dragon Formation!"
In the next instant, Xi Yangwu and the other two used the power of their respective divine runes, activating the core of the three ancient palaces. The three ancient palaces blossomed with resplendent radiance!
The three ancient palaces interacted with each other. Countless shadows of pitch-black dragons appeared above the ancient palaces and flew out in all directions. As the shadows of the pitch-black dragons spread out, the entire sky was shrouded by the pitch-black hue of the Nine Underworlds.
These soaring dragon phantoms formed a barrier that continued to expand. They even reached the extent of covering the sky, protecting the entire Asura City.
With the three ancient palaces as the core, more and more Soaring Dragon phantoms rose from the ancient palaces and merged into the defensive barrier, strengthening the defensive power of the barrier.
In the past half a year, Xi Yangwu and Shu Chan hadn't activated the ancient palaces, and Dugu Yijian had just obtained the Yellow Springs Ancient Palace. Therefore, the power of the three ancient palaces could be said to be almost full.
Countless dragon phantoms flew high into the sky and fused with the defensive barrier, blocking in front of Asura City!
Next, the moment that made everyone in Asura City nervous arrived. Outside the pitch-black Nine Nether Soaring Dragon Formation, a boundless sea of death qi rolled over. Among them, the Ruler's Secret Realm level flying beast soul quickly slammed into the Nine Nether Soaring Dragon Formation's barrier!
Rumble!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook. Many cracks appeared on the ground, causing the hearts of everyone in Asura City to tighten.
However, with the reinforcement of the Nine Underworld Soaring Dragon's barrier, the flying soul and the endless sea of deathly aura were finally blocked outside the barrier.
The entire Nine Nether Soaring Dragon Formation expanded to a radius of several hundred thousand li, blocking the sea of death qi in that direction!
"At least it can last for three days! If the situation doesn't improve after three days, we will have to retreat. "
Xi Yangwu felt the strength of the Nine Nether Soaring Dragon Formation and said.
"It's a pity that it's an incomplete defensive formation. If we had the last Hell Ancient Palace, I'm afraid we would be able to form an impenetrable defensive formation."
Shu Chan said with a sigh.
"I don't know where the Hell Ancient Palace is now. Maybe when Long Yu returns, he will be able to find it …"
Xi Yangwu nodded her head and said. She also felt a little pity.
The defensive formation formed by the three ancient palaces was, after all, incomplete. It was already beyond their expectations that it could resist the sea of death qi for three days.
Now, Xi Yangwu was very clear that Long Yu should be in the Nine Dark Moon. However, she didn't know if Long Yu had encountered any danger. Could he stop the sea of death qi from spreading?
Only Xi Yangwu knew about this matter because she was the person Long Yu trusted the most. On the other hand, it was useless for others to know about this matter.
…
What Xi Yangwu didn't know was that Long Yu was currently in a predicament in the last small palace on the third layer of the Nine Dark Moon.
"There's a mass of blood-red light, which is the core of the Dark Moon of the Nine Serenities. There's a stone table with a medicinal pill bottle on top of it, which contains five Endless grade medicinal pills. The surrounding blood-red murals depict various blood-red weapons ….
Long Yu had searched the entire small palace and only found these three things. He had suspected that there might be a mechanism on the murals and that there might be a passage leading to another place. However, after a day of searching, he still couldn't find any mechanism on the murals.
However, Long Yu was sure that there should be something strange on the murals because when he searched the entire murals, he felt a familiar aura seeping out.
That aura felt very similar to the aura of the vortex that he had absorbed before. It contained the origin aura of the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor!
However, Long Yu didn't know how to absorb that aura from the murals.
"I'll spend another day studying this murals. If there's still no result, I can only take the Endless level elixirs and try to improve my martial arts realm …"
Long Yu thought to himself as he continued to study the blood-red murals.
He already knew that there were many blood-red weapons on the murals. There were swords, spears, halberds, hammers, chains, and so on. These weapons seemed to be alive and made people feel as if they were some kind of life form.
Long Yu subconsciously focused on these weapons and even tried to integrate the aura of the Nine Nether Mark into them. Unfortunately, no matter how he treated these weapons, the blood-red weapons didn't react at all.
Since Long Yu could feel the origin aura of the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor, there must be some secrets in this murals. It was just that he hadn't discovered them yet.
Long Yu raised his head and looked around. The entire small palace was cylindrical, and the walls of the palace were all engraved with such murals.
Long Yu studied many of the blood-red weapons on the murals, trying to find something. However, he didn't find anything in the end.
Finally, when he looked around, an idea came to his mind. Since there was something wrong with this murals, why didn't he observe the murals as a whole first? Why did he have to observe the blood-red weapons on the murals?
This idea changed Long Yu's thinking. He stood in the middle of the entire small palace and began to observe the murals. He connected the walls of the palace together in his imagination.
Originally, the murals were engraved on the ceiling, floor, and walls of the palace.
However, in Long Yu's imagination, the murals were laid flat and formed a long scroll. As Long Yu imagined it, he realized that the blood-red weapons on the murals were arranged according to a certain rule!
