Xiao Chen had already seen seven of the heavenly steles. He didn't expect there were still the eighth and ninth heavenly steles in the outside world. This made him feel very surprised.
If every heavenly stele had a mystical technique, then it would be an unimaginable wealth. Because Xiao Chen had already grasped the ancient technique on six of the heavenly steles, and he even saw the concluding item on the seventh one.
If there were still the eighth and ninth heavenly steles, what would be on them? He was really looking forward to it.
The markings on the eighth and ninth heavenly steles gave Xiao Chen an intense anticipation. If he could really find them, he would definitely be able to grasp an even more powerful power.
"Why do I feel that there seems to be some kind of internal connection between these markings … …"
Tenax creased its brows.
The map drawn on the ancestral dragon's skin was very crude, but there were so many artifacts listed on it. It was definitely not simple.
Xiao Chen had already vaguely noticed that the heavenly stele, the ancient lamp, the chaotic palace, and the ninety-nine stone steps seemed to have some kind of connection. The markings were very regular.
However, he couldn't figure it out in a short period of time. It was very difficult to find out the rules and the essence.
Now was not the time to observe in detail. The few of them searched around the second palace hall, but they didn't find anything else. So they headed towards the third palace hall.
The last palace hall was very quiet. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground. Who knew how many years had it been since someone last came here.
The huge palace hall was very spacious. Other than a stone platform at the very front, there was nothing else.
"Look, there is a broken jar on the stone platform."
The Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf walked over casually and picked up that broken jar. He shook it with all his might, and a strange sound came from inside.
He felt very curious, so he placed it next to his ear to listen.
"What the … …"
Just when he placed it next to his ear, the Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf cried out in fear. He shook his hand and threw the broken jar away. Xiao Chen was very fast, he shot out a divine radiance and firmly caught the broken jar.
And on the other side, the Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf had a disorientated appearance. It was as if he was trampled on by a rhinoceros, or as if he was trampled on by several elephants. He swayed and almost fell to the ground.
"What happened to you?"
The Hydra asked.
"Damn it, I was raped by it … …"
The Slaughter Vanquisher Wolf shouted loudly.
"Pfff … …"
The Nine-Headed Snake couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva as he glared at him.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm saying that my ears have been raped by it. It's like a dragon has rushed into my ears and smashed my earbone. Hum, hum, hum, hum. My head is filled with this sound. It hurts so much."
The Killing Broken Wolf swayed from side to side as it angrily shouted. It took a long time for it to calm down.
"Serves you right, who asked you to be so careless!"
The other three didn't have any sympathy.
Xiao Chen was carefully observing this broken jar when he suddenly shouted, "Delusion-breaker Eye!"
Two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes and shrouded the palm-sized, worn-out stone jar in his hand.
All of a sudden, a shocking change occurred to the battered jar. All the cracks on its surface disappeared, and the damaged parts were mended. The gray jar also turned into a heart-palpitating black-red color, as if it was cast from a mixture of blood and black soil.
Moreover, a dense talisman paper covered in patterns appeared on the mouth of the jar, tightly sealing the mouth of the jar.
"Eh, how could this be?"
The Killing Broken Wolf was incomparably astonished.
"This is its original appearance, it was merely an illusion just now. You almost made a huge mistake. If you were to break it, I'm afraid there would be big trouble."
Xiao Chen revealed a grave expression as he carefully sized up the stone jar in his hand.
"A seal?"
Tenax also revealed a startled expression. It looked at this stone jar and said, "The thing inside seems to be very unusual."
"Hum … …"
Just at this time, the stone jar suddenly shook. The atmosphere in the main hall became oppressive. The few of them felt as if they were ordinary people submerged in mercury. The heavy pressure made them feel suffocated.
Extremely dangerous!
This was what Xiao Chen felt. At this moment, he knew that an incomparably powerful existence was sealed inside the stone jar in his hand. It was hard to estimate!
"Hum … …"
The stone jar shook unceasingly. Even though it was being held in Xiao Chen's hand, it seemed like it was going to break free. A dangerous aura pervaded the air. It made Tenax, Killing Broken Wolf, and the others felt their blood run cold.
Under this kind of pressure, the few of them felt a chill run down their spine.
Xiao Chen let out a cold snort. He exerted more force on his hands and began to seal this stone jar. The talisman paper sealing the mouth of the jar immediately flourished with radiance. One after another bizarre patterns also appeared on the entire jar. It was as if an iron chain was winding around the jar and binding it. Those patterns could clearly be seen engraved deeply into the jar.
It was as if a tangible iron chain was tied into the jar. The stone jar shone with resplendent radiance and boundless divine power.
That was the powerful sealing power. The talisman paper and the stone jar possessed an unfathomable power. The power that Xiao Chen poured into the stone jar was immediately activated. The stone jar that was shaking violently immediately calmed down.
"What a powerful sealing power! What is sealed inside this stone jar?"
Tenax revealed a bewildered expression.
"It's very dangerous, it's hard to estimate its strength. Fortunately, it is sealed inside. Otherwise, we might be in big trouble."
Xiao Chen held the palm-sized stone jar in his hand and revealed a cautious expression.
"Just what is this thing?"
Kill Vanquish Wolf was in a bad mood. He kept pinching his ear. Even now, it was still ringing.
Xiao Chen and Tenax studied it for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the truth behind the stone jar.
Before they figured it out, it was impossible to open that talisman paper. Xiao Chen cautiously and cautiously suppressed the stone jar in the Immemorial Demon City between his palms.
He didn't dare to place this dangerous artifact in the acupoint space. If something went wrong, it would be too late for regrets.
In the end, after searching the third palace hall carefully, the four of them didn't find anything else and returned along the original path.
When they arrived at the first palace hall, they just happened to see that stone puppet throne at the entrance. Its hollow eyes were staring at them.
"This guy … …"
The Hydra's voice was somewhat trembling.
The first palace hall was filled with murderous aura. Those hollow eyes of the Stoneman King were extremely terrifying. They were like two abysses that wanted to swallow the few of them. It took a step forward slowly and pressed forward step by step.
Although the Stoneman King had been killed and there was a hole in its head, its stone body still contained unimaginable power. It was like a demon god of slaughter. Its might was overflowing.
"We can't clash head-on with it. Let's go!"
Xiao Chen unleashed the Eightfold World, wanting to escape this place. Eight illusory worlds enveloped the four of them and they disappeared in an instant.
"Bang … …"
The Stoneman King's right hand shook violently. The first palace hall was immediately enveloped by a powerful domain. Nothing here could hide. Heaven and earth were sealed!
This was the king's battle domain. It could suppress everything!
Even Xiao Chen's unparalleled divine ability, the Eightfold World, was revealed. He couldn't pass through the barrier of the big world and had no way to rush out from the stone door.
This was the Stoneman King's peerless battle domain. It completely enveloped this place. There was no way to break through!
It wasn't that the Eightfold World was inferior to the opponent's battle domain. It was just that the Stoneman King's boundless battle prowess was too vast. Its absolute power suppressed everything. It was very difficult to break through.
However, Xiao Chen wasn't afraid. He had enough capital now. Furthermore, the person in front of him wasn't the real Stoneman King. He didn't have a divine sense.
A black light flickered between Xiao Chen's palms. The Immemorial Demon City appeared. Three heavenly marks were in the city. They strengthened the city and provided an unending stream of divine power.
The palm-sized ancient city instantly enlarged to the size of a house. It broke through the surrounding restrictions and instantly enveloped the Stoneman King.
The Stoneman King seemed to have sensed something. It was momentarily distracted. It raised its head and didn't dodge at all.
"Boom … …"
The Immemorial Demon City immediately sucked it in and sealed it inside.
The peerless domain laid down by the Stoneman King immediately disappeared. The divine power no longer existed. "Shua!
Shua! Shua! "
Xiao Chen and the others quickly rushed out of this place. With a "Kuang Dang" sound, the two stone doors closed.
"This … …"
They looked at each other in dismay. The powerful Stoneman King was sucked in by the Immemorial Demon City without any resistance. This was a little too easy.
Xiao Chen held the Demon City in his right hand and carefully examined it. He was shocked to find that the Stoneman King was not inside. There was no trace of it at all.
"How could this be!"
With a thought, he captured the stone jar.
"Eh? This … …"
Xiao Chen was shocked. There was a clear mark on the body of the jar. It was the Stone Golem King puppet. It was like a mural that was imprinted on the stone jar. It was bound by a chain pattern.
"We're rich! This stone jar seems to be the key treasure to control the Stoneman King."
Killing Vanquishing Wolf had an excited expression. He rubbed his hands happily and said, "This is a very powerful combat power."
"It's not that simple."
Xiao Chen examined the stone jar and said, "Although this puppet seems to be controlled by the stone jar, we don't know how to use it. Moreover, if we accidentally release that terrifying existence sealed in the jar, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Rumble … …"
Xiao Chen flicked his hand. The Immemorial Demon City descended and sucked in the undamaged central palace. After that, the Demon City swept through the ruins. The crucial central palace had already been explored. There was no need to investigate in detail anymore. All the divine stones and rubble had been sucked into the Demon City. They would all become the building materials for the construction of the majestic city.
After the ancient castle was completely sucked into the grindstone, it flew back into Xiao Chen's palm. He could clearly feel that it had undergone a transformation. It was becoming more and more unpredictable.
"Could it really have evolved into the King's Divine City?"
Tenax asked.
"In terms of divine power, it has indeed reached the required level. However, it still lacks a qualitative change. Because no one has taken the final step in the city, it is unable to complete the final transformation."
The few of them returned to a hotel in Yandu. Xiao Chen immediately opened that dragonhide map and wanted to analyze it carefully. After all, there were nine Heavenly Fragments carved on it. If he could find some clues about their origin, he might be able to obtain the remaining heaven's mark very quickly.
The crystal chandelier emitted a gentle radiance. The dragonhide ancient scroll emitted a bewitching and mysterious aura.
The yellow clay platform, the Heavenly Death Bridge, the ninety-nine stone steps, the chaotic huge palace, the nine ancient lamps, the Heavenly Monument … … All kinds of mysterious and powerful artifacts were marked on the Ancestral Dragon Skin.
What kind of map was this? Tenax, Kill Vanquish Wolf, and the others were no longer as shocked as when they first saw it. However, they still felt that this map had an extraordinary origin.
All four of them were staring at this mysterious leather scroll without blinking.
The Ancestral Dragon Skin was dark red. The traces of being soaked in blood were very obvious. All seven of the Heavenly Monuments had clear markings, but the eighth and ninth were very vague. Especially the ninth one, it was almost impossible to see. Only by relying on their powerful divine sense could they see a shadow on it.
It must be mentioned that this Ancestral Dragon Skin was very mysterious. If they wanted to see the whole picture, they must have the power of divine sense as a foundation.
After looking at it for a long time, Xiao Chen was still unable to deduce the origin of the Heavenly Monument. He couldn't understand this map at all.
This didn't seem to be a map, but rather a miniature "world" that was pieced together from various worlds. However, Xiao Chen and Tenax already noticed that the Heavenly Monument, the ninety-nine stone steps, and the Heavenly Death Bridge seemed to have some kind of connection with each other.
For example, the Heavenly Death Bridge seemed to be nothing more than a bridge. It was connected to an extremely dangerous checkpoint. One could only pass through it.
The divine map and some bone fragments were scattered on the road. It seemed like they were some kind of clue.
And the ninety-nine stone steps seemed to be a stone road that led to a mysterious area on this ancient scroll.
There were also the nine ancient lamps. They were even more peculiar. It seemed like there were only nine lamps. They were only there to sprinkle their radiance on the mysterious road and illuminate the road ahead.
As for the Chaotic Lands Palace, it seemed like it was just a stop on the mysterious path, and it provided the necessary supplies.
As for those nine Heavenly Monuments, they were like nine signposts that recorded everything on the road. They were also like nine tombstones that buried the nine fallen experts that led to the mysterious area.
There was also a stone key that had a clear mark. However, it was longer than the one in Xiao Chen's hand. Xiao Chen had a feeling that the stone key on the Ancestral Dragon Skin was the only one that was in perfect condition.
The few of them stared at it for a long time. They all felt very shocked. These items clearly had some kind of connection with each other. It seemed like they were pointing to an extremely special place.
The more they looked at it, the more obvious this feeling became. Gradually, these items seemed to be connected together, leading to an unknown place.
Xiao Chen felt his scalp go numb. Things had exceeded his expectations. This map had a great origin. It included many kinds of mysterious items. One must know that regardless of the chaotic huge palace or the ninety-nine stone steps, they were all holy items of a certain world.
And now, a map actually linked the holy items of every world together and pointed them to an unknown place. This was too shocking. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an ancient secret!
This kind of extravagance had a serious impact on the few of them. No one was able to keep their calm.
"Motherf * cker … …"
Even the steady Tenax felt its mouth was dry. It couldn't help but curse.
"Inconceivable, the feat of a lunatic, this … … is this possible?"
Kill Vanquish Wolf stammered, "The heavenly monument, the formation, the huge palace, the stone steps, the Ancestral Dragon Platform, and so on, they are all the items on the map. They are necessary to lead to a mysterious path. This is really crazy … … unimaginable!"
"This is too senseless. Who made this kind of map so carelessly … …" The Nine-Headed Snake braced himself and said.
However, he knew that even he would have a hard time convincing himself with these words. Who would be so senseless as to use the Ancestral Dragon's skin to draw a meaningless map?
"Whatever you see today, you mustn't leak it out no matter what."
Xiao Chen warned the few of them. He knew they had unintentionally discovered the clue to a shocking secret. Perhaps they would be able to uncover some kind of unimaginable secret.
This was indeed a big move. It connected all the worlds together.
However, this was only his first impression. If he looked closely at the Ancestral Dragon's skin, he would see many rivers, mountains, and other mysterious objects. This was truly a blurry and mysterious ancient map.
After looking at it, the four of them sucked in a breath of cold air.
"We seem to have discovered a piece of history that is only a myth in the eyes of the apex experts. Perhaps we might be able to unveil the mysterious veil of a bizarre and dazzling world that had been covered in dust for countless years. However, we might only be the witnesses … …"
