The expressions of Xiao Chen and the others changed. This sage-like, harmless, and calm old Taoist priest was actually the Little Stone Emperor from the Immemorial Era? This was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone had been walking with him, but they hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Soon after, everyone felt their blood run cold. One had to know that the old Taoist priest had a body of flesh and blood, not a stone body. If he really was the Little Stone Emperor, didn't that mean … he had broken through on the Stone Golem King Path?
That was a true regeneration of flesh and blood. He would no longer have an ice-cold stone body, and he would advance on the Stone Golem King Path and the Ancestral God Path.
"Meow my ass!"
Killing Vanquisher's face immediately turned pale. He had slandered the Little Stone Emperor many times along the way. Wasn't this the same as plucking hair from a monk's head?
"What are you saying?"
The old Taoist priest had a baffled expression.
At this moment, the Stone Raven had already advanced into battle mode. It flapped its wings and floated in midair like a black sun. Its eyes flickered with golden light and surged with divine flames. "Little Stone Emperor, stop putting on an act. Peel off your skin and I'll recognize your bones!"
"Wait!"
The old skeleton flew over and stopped the Stone Raven. "He really isn't that powerful. He can't compare to the Little Stone Emperor."
"Immeasurable, that … ancestor!"
The old Taoist priest didn't panic under such powerful pressure. Instead, he patiently explained, "I'm really not the Little Stone Emperor. He's my ancestor. That's all we have."
"I'll recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
The Stone Raven sneered. Its sharp bird claws that could tear Stone Golem Kings apart clanged and flickered with a sinister light.
Clang, clang …
The old skeleton was hit by its jet-black stone claws. Sparks shot out as if metal and stone were colliding. He stopped the Stone Raven and said, "Don't make a move first. It's most likely not him!"
"Impossible!"
The Stone Raven shouted. "Look at his left palm. There's a red mole with the Big Dipper stars. Who else could it be but the Little Stone Emperor?"
Everyone's eyes flickered as they looked at the old Taoist's left palm. Indeed, there were seven Big Dipper red moles on it. According to the legends of the cultivation world, such an extraordinary person was definitely a mutant, a king who could control extreme strength.
The old man was also bewildered, but stopped him in the end, saying, "It's not too late to make a move after finding out the situation."
However, when the old daoist was interrogated, he appeared to be quite helpless. "I'm just the descendant of the Little Stone Emperor. How am I some archaic overlord? If I had that kind of power, how could you not sense it?"
Shi Wuya grabbed the old Daoist priest and used a supreme mystic technique to search the old Daoist priest's entire body, including every single acupoint, and even his hair. However, he didn't find any trace of Little Stone Emperor's aura, and he didn't find any evidence that his primordial spirit resided in this flesh shell.
Shi Wuya stared at the old skull and said, "I know that you had some relationship with the Little Stone Emperor in the past. Regardless of whether it was his descendants or himself, you would do your best to protect them."
Under the old skull's repeated dissuasion, Stone Raven temporarily put away his killing intent.
Was there still a need to go to the Sky Splitting Valley, the tomb of the Little Stone Emperor? This was the question placed in front of everyone.
Now, the person who resembled the Little Stone Emperor was right in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Stone Raven and the old skull thought of the past events of the Immemorial Era and deduced a certain possibility. In the end, they unanimously decided that they had to go to the Sky Splitting Valley. Even if the Little Stone Emperor's remains weren't there, there would definitely be some kind of terrifying artifact buried there, and they had to take it out.
Of course, they couldn't charge in blindly. They had to be prepared. After resting for a few days, with the help of the old skull, Stone Raven recovered most of his Essence Qi, and the dried up Shi Xiu gradually regained his vitality. However, most of the black feathers had also fallen off, and the bald parts had returned to Shi Xiu.
Under the cover of the Pangu Stone Medallion, Stone Raven, the old skull, and Xiao Chen hurried to where Lu Zhan lived in seclusion. After observing for a while, they found that this old antique was very calm and didn't take any action. He sat on the demonic mountain motionlessly, becoming one with the mountains and rivers, as still as a boulder.
"Although this old demon king knows the location, he is afraid of being trapped in the Sky Splitting Valley by Xuankong, so he isn't willing to act rashly. I wonder what he will think of."
Stone Raven and the others also had some misgivings. Whoever appeared in the Sky Splitting Valley first would be the scapegoat, and the old ancestor Xuankong would think that it was the culprit who detained his disciple.
"Let's use the Pangu Stone Medallion as a cover and go to the Sky Splitting Valley to take a look."
The old skull suggested. Apart from these two antiques, only Xiao Chen came with them, the others didn't follow.
The Sky Splitting Valley was a dangerous place, and the terrain was very dangerous. An Immemorial Era mountain that was tens of thousands of zhang high was split in half from the middle, forming a huge crack that extended all the way to the depths of the earth.
This split in half mountain was surrounded by towering ancient trees and strange mountain rocks. When approaching the Sky Splitting Valley, it was shrouded in thick clouds and fog, hazy and unfathomable. Even a powerful cultivator wouldn't be willing to explore too deep.
"This is the territory ruled by your fiend race, have you explored it before?"
The old skull asked Stone Raven.
"I have indeed explored it before. Below is a place of extreme yin, but I didn't find anything."
Stone Raven answered, and at the same time, looked around for clues.
"Boom … …"
Just at this moment, a monstrous demonic flame soared into the sky from the Sky Splitting Valley, enveloping everything within a hundred li in an instant, trapping Stone Raven, the old skull, and Xiao Chen inside.
"This is the Demon Refining God Lock Formation!"
The old skull was shocked.
The Sky Splitting Valley was filled with a baleful aura, demonic light lingered around, like an endless fire burning fiercely. Stone Raven clearly felt that something was wrong, and said: "I feel that this seems to be specially set up for us … …"
Just at this moment, the world turned upside down, the mountains shifted, the valleys changed, the rocks crumbled, the pine trees withered, and the stars shifted. In an instant, it was as if time had passed.
In the surroundings, white bone platforms appeared one after another, and there were even huge palaces pressing down on the sky, completely sealing and suppressing this place.
"Other than the Demon Refining God Lock Formation, there is also the White Bone Palace Formation. These two great Immemorial Killing Formations merged into one, specially prepared to kill the Stone Golem King!"
Two terrifying rays of light shot out from the old skull's eye sockets.
Stone Raven's expression was also extremely unsightly, he didn't expect that just as they approached this place, they would be trapped here before even entering the Sky Splitting Valley.
"Something is fishy here!"
Xiao Chen and the other two unanimously thought so.
"You guys guessed it right, I specially set it up for you guys!"
Just outside this Immemorial Killing Formation, a demonic figure appeared out of nowhere. In the darkness, only a pair of eyes flashed with a sinister light.
Black fog surged around the tall figure, making him look malevolent and powerful.
"It's you, Lu Zhan!"
Stone Raven's heart sank at that moment. Before this, Lu Zhan had wanted to kill him, and now he laid down a killing formation to refine them, making him furious.
Xiao Chen and the old skull also felt that the situation was not good. This place was definitely not where the Little Stone Emperor's tomb was, but a killing trap set up by Lu Zhan in advance.
"Do you really think that I, Lu Zhan, am a vegetarian?"
The tall demonic figure was in the black clouds, revealing only a vague silhouette, making him look even more demonic. He said sinisterly, "I always suspected that someone was spying on me, so I purposely said the words' Sky Splitting Valley 'and laid down a killing trap. I didn't expect that you guys would really come. How wonderful, you guys walked right into the trap!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he immediately felt a chill in his heart. This old antique was indeed frighteningly scheming. Just because of his suspicious nature, he laid down this Immemorial Killing Formation, causing them to fall into a trap.
This was also enough to show that Lu Zhan's thoughts were strange and deep, hard to guess. He was indeed a terrifying person.
"Lu Zhan, you are very good!"
Stone Raven clenched his teeth. Originally, he wanted to lay down a killing formation to torture the other party to death, but he didn't expect to fall into the other party's trap first.
"After refining the two of you, I will definitely break through the shackles and achieve great accomplishments. At that time, I will be able to sweep through the world!"
Lu Zhan's voice was very cold, and the tall demonic figure was like a mountain, giving off a boundless pressure. He said, "Enjoy the Immemorial Killing Ground!"
After saying that, he sat cross-legged in the sky, motionless, and started to operate the killing formation.
"Wu … Wu …"
A sinister wind howled, and one hundred and eight white bone platforms spun frantically. Scarlet hell appeared, mountains of sabers and seas of swords appeared, and the Asura Killing Ground manifested … A total of one hundred and eight vicious killing grounds interweaved together. It could be said to have endless transformations.
Black feathers spread out on Stone Raven's half-bald body, and raging flames surged into the sky. He supported a black barrier of light, blocking this powerful killing formation.
However, the transformations of the Immemorial Killing Formation were not something that could be done by humans. It was originally set up to deal with the Stone Golem Kings, so how could he resist it?
In the sky, there were still one hundred and eight heavenly palaces! Every one of them shone with a divine radiance, and a Lu Zhan sat in each of them.
One hundred and eight heavenly palaces, one hundred and eight Lu Zhan!
It pressed down mightily from the sky, and it emanated extraordinary pressure as it swept down. Strand after strand of divine light interweaved together to form a boundless net that was flawless. It was a material Law of the Order of the Grand Dao!
"Chi! Chi!
Chi! "Even the powerful Stone Raven's black feathers began to burn. Under the suppression of one hundred and eight purgatories and one hundred and eight heavenly palaces, it endured a great pressure, and its body was about to shatter.
The old skull also let out a long hiss and displayed great divine might to resist this Immemorial Killing Formation.
However, this was only the beginning of the ordeal. Apart from the Absolute Bone Formation, there was still the Demon Refining Divine Lock Formation to support it. Countless heavenly demons and ancient deities appeared, accompanied by ghostly wails and deities howls, making everything even more terrifying!
Even though Xiao Chen had the ancient scroll on him, he was not a Stone Golem King after all. He still felt like he was about to collapse, and strands of essence energy left his body.
Stone Raven, the old skull, and Xiao Chen were experiencing a life and death ordeal. The two layers of the Immemorial Killing Formation were stripping away their life essence, and they were being refined in the killing formation.
Lu Zhan's body sat in the sky, majestically and motionlessly. His demonic body was surrounded by endless essence energy.
"Stripping away is only the beginning. Your lives will come to an end, help me reach the pinnacle!"
His aura was becoming more and more powerful. The formation used to kill the Stone Golem King was so powerful that it was hard to turn this dangerous situation around!
At this moment, there was no way to hold anything back. Xiao Chen had the ancient scroll on him, the Monarch's Divine City above his head, and his body was one with the divine diagram. Several heavenly marks lined up beside him, and he hugged the Heavenly Stele in his arms. Finally, he even took out the Stone Golem King puppet and punched the sky, shaking this Immemorial Slaughterhouse. He wanted to forcefully break through.
Both Stone Raven and the old skull stared blankly. With so many powerful treasures, they didn't forget to swallow their saliva at this critical moment.
"Truly extravagant, a shameful waste!"
"Brat, focus your mind and take out these treasures. We will help you to turn the situation around and break out of this encirclement!"
"No, we will reverse refine him!"
Stone Raven seemed to be full of confidence as he said, "These sacred objects combined are enough to defy the heavens!"
The combination of so many sacred objects was not child's play. It was an earth-shattering and world-shattering supreme might. It immediately shook the Immemorial Slaughterhouse and Lu Zhan's body outside the formation.
"Boom …"
Just at this moment, a destructive aura suddenly burst out from the Sky Splitting Valley. Seven black stars suddenly rushed out and enlarged in an instant, fixing themselves in the sky.
An unimaginable power spread from the heavens to the earth, submerging this place. The seven incomparably huge black stars slowly rotated in the sky.
Another World Interweaving Formation had appeared!
Not only did it cover Stone Raven and Xiao Chen's group, but it also enveloped Lu Zhan and the two Immemorial Slaughterhouse Formations. This was an even more terrifying formation.
"The Little Stone Emperor's innate seven demonic stars in his palm!"
Lu Zhan gnashed his teeth and muttered to himself, "The tomb is not located in this area, so how can it show his power!?"
"Lu Zhan, you sinister and ruthless bastard. You harmed us and played yourself to death …"
Stone Raven shouted.
