Chapter 218: Brazen Attack
With a sudden earthquake, the mountain wall at the entrance of the canyon cracked, and red and blue light shone brightly, revealing two narrow passages.
Outside the entrance of the passage, two stone tablets about three or four feet high appeared, one with "Xuan Jing Road" written on it, and the other with "Lava Road" written on it.
"It seems that Old Demon Han really doesn't plan to come to the second level?" Ye Changsheng thought as he looked around.
His eyes flashed and he stepped into the lava road.
The many monks gathered here also stepped into these two passages.
Zi Ling mixed in with the crowd and entered the Xuanjing Road.
She has a powerful ancient treasure with fire attribute in her hand, which is enough to help her get through this level.
"Although the two elders of Xinggong manipulated the restriction, with the power of that ancient treasure, Zi Ling should be able to get through it!"
"As for the others, unless they have a powerful ancient treasure that can restrain the properties of these two passages, they will most likely die in there!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He was quite confident in Zi Ling's strength, even though this girl needed his protection everywhere when they were together.
In fact, as she possesses two powerful ancient treasures, her strength is definitely among the top among the Jindan cultivators.
If not, she would not have been able to kill the two Jindan cultivators and the young master of Qingyang Sect.
Ye Changsheng stepped into a world of fire, where scorching heat radiated and burned everyone who came in.
In the Ice and Fire Road, it is impossible to fly in the air, and everyone has to walk on the ground.
This means there are more dangers to face.
Not only are there various lava flames on the ground, but there will also be a large number of fire-attributed monsters coming out to attack.
However, these dangers are nothing to someone like Ye Changsheng.
As if walking on flat ground.
He quickly passed several dangerous places and a dark desert appeared before him.
Not long after entering the desert, a large black cloud suddenly appeared in front of him and rolled towards him.
Looking closely, it was not a black cloud at all, but clearly countless black winged insects gathered together and rushed over in an overwhelming manner.
There are tens of thousands of them. Judging from the situation, if a Jindan cultivator encounters them, they will probably be eaten clean.
"Iron Fire Ant!"
Looking at the black flying insects, Ye Changsheng murmured softly, slapped his storage bag, and released hundreds of thousands of gold-eating insects.
I finally came across something that can allow the gold-eating bug to evolve, how can I let it go!
A few days later, after Ye Changsheng commanded the gold-eating bugs to devour a colony of hundreds of thousands of fire ants, he held an egg-sized crystal ball in his hand with a smile on his face.
Refining crystal!
A rare material that is vomited out by fire ants after they have been devouring ore for a long time.
This is an excellent auxiliary material for refining magic weapons and can be said to be top-notch.
"Those two old guys from the Xing Palace released the restriction of the Black Desert, which was a good deal for me!"
"But just in case, I should kill these two people as soon as possible after I get out, otherwise it will cause trouble for me when I take the Xutian Ding!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He glanced up at the sky with cold eyes, and then looked at a body lying on the ground not far from him.
He was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. He was extremely unlucky to encounter these hundreds of thousands of iron fire ants, and his protective shield was broken.
If Ye Changsheng had not arrived here in time, this man's body would have been devoured by the swarm of fire ants.
"I can transform into this person's appearance, otherwise a cultivator in the early Jindan stage passing through the lava road will still arouse suspicion!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After using the Thousand Illusions Mask to transform into that person, he continued on his way.
…
A few days later, Ye Changsheng stepped into a simple stone temple.
This stone hall is about fifty to sixty feet wide and about seventy to eighty feet high. In addition to a teleportation array in the middle, there is a huge stone door several feet high on each of the four sides.
At this time, all the doors were closed, turning the place into a large prison cell. Inside the stone hall were dozens of stone tables and stone benches of various types, all of which were unique.
On these stone benches, there were seven or eight monks sitting sparsely with different expressions.
Mr. Qing Yi, Man Huzi, Wan Tianming and other five Nascent Soul cultivators were all here. The rest of the cultivators were also in the late Jindan stage, and none of them were weaker.
After entering here , Ye Changsheng felt a depressing atmosphere. Everyone here had a gloomy face and fierce light flashing in their eyes.
Just now, they suffered a great loss when passing through the Ice and Fire Road. The black desert, blood ice forest and other restrictions would not normally appear.
The reason why he appeared here this time was most likely due to the actions of the two elders from Xinggong.
After realizing this, all the cultivators here developed a hatred towards the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Palace.
Wan Tianming and the others were filled with hatred and fear.
Xinggong, what does this mean?
Do we really have to fall out with both the good and evil sides in this Xutian Palace?
In this strange atmosphere, time passed little by little, and a few more people were teleported over.
All of them had extremely gloomy faces, gnashing their teeth , and they wanted to curse Xinggong out loud.
These people were all cultivators in the late Jindan stage, but even for them, it was very difficult to pass through the ice and fire road, and they almost got stuck there.
After a while, there was a flash of light on the teleportation array, and a woman in purple appeared in the hall.
The woman's face was pale, her lips were black and blue, and a chill emanated from her the moment she appeared.
After she glanced around, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she found a stone bench and sat down.
When the other people in the hall saw this woman appear, they also showed surprise on their faces.
How could a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan make it here?
There must be something strange about this woman!
The two cultivators from the evil side didn't pay much attention, but the three people from the righteous side, especially Wan Tianming, had a hint of coldness in their eyes.
He knew that this woman was Zi Ling, and originally he didn't care much about Zi Ling.
But now seeing that this woman had actually passed the Ice and Fire Road, he couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious.
In addition to suspicion, murderous intent arose in his heart, but Wan Tianming was very scheming and did not show any sign of it.
It’s not time to show your hand yet!
"Has Elder Ye not come out yet?" Zi Ling thought to herself as she glanced around imperceptibly.
In her opinion, the restrictions of the Ice and Fire Dao would most likely not be able to stop someone like Elder Ye.
As for myself, this time I really exhausted all my means and played all my cards before I could barely get out.
Thinking of the dangers she had just experienced, Zi Ling couldn't help but feel a hint of murderous intent towards the two elders of the Xing Palace.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside her ear: "Miss Zi Ling, you don't look very well, are you okay?"
"Elder Ye?!"
Zi Ling was startled and almost cried out. The voice was extremely familiar; it was Elder Ye's voice.
"It turns out that Elder Ye has changed his appearance again!" She immediately understood the reason.
She glanced around imperceptibly and saw a middle-aged man in the late Jindan stage not far from her who was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Elder Ye, I'm fine. It's just that I didn't expect to encounter the Blood Ice Forest and the Silver Light Rat this time. It took me a lot of energy to get out of them!" Zi Ling said in a voice transmission.
"It's good that you came out safely. Don't rush to enter the third level of the wonderful fantasy world. We will wait here for a while and then set off at the end!" Ye Changsheng ordered.
"What new plans does Elder Ye have?" Zi Ling thought to herself.
She responded immediately and agreed.
After a while, the light on the teleportation array flashed again, and the two white-robed elders from the Star Palace appeared in the teleportation array at the same time.
All of a sudden, all the unfriendly eyes were stared at the two of them at the same time. All the survivors here looked at them with a cold expression, as if they wanted to eat them alive.
“Well, I don’t know which reckless fellow Taoist actually activated some powerful restrictions when crossing the Ice and Fire Road, causing a huge change in the canyon!”
"The two of us have searched for it, but unfortunately we haven't found a way to remove it. I'm afraid that our cultivation world has lost a lot of fellow practitioners this time, right?"
"We two feel guilty about our duties this time. After this visit to Xutian Palace, we must apologize to the two Holy Lords and face the wall for a hundred years to atone for our dereliction of duty!"
The kind-looking elder looked around, ignored the cold looks of the crowd, and said with a sigh, as if he was really heartbroken.
After hearing this, everyone in the hall cursed this man in their hearts for being shameless. With just a few light words, he pushed everything away, as if it really had nothing to do with them.
However, even though they hated it in their hearts, no one stepped forward to cause trouble for the two Star Palace elders.
The two men smiled at each other, found an open space and sat down cross-legged.
Time passed, and after a while, the teleportation array in the middle of the stone hall suddenly disappeared.
The two elders from the Star Palace were the last to be teleported here. This time, only fourteen or fifteen people survived the Ice and Fire Road.
At the moment the teleportation array disappeared, the stone doors on the four walls automatically rose up with a roar, revealing a deep bluestone passage that led to an unknown place.
"Three of these four passages lead to an attic, and the things in each attic are different!"
"Inside are ancient treasures, elixirs, and techniques. These things were left behind by ancient cultivators. Needless to say, they are all top-notch items rarely seen in the world of immortal cultivation. This is the reward for you for passing the Ice and Fire Road!"
"However, everything in the attic is sealed and forbidden. Anyone can only take one item once. Once they get it, they will be immediately teleported to the next level, 'Extreme Fantasy'."
"As for the last passage, it leads directly to the next level. Anyone who walks in here is out of luck and has made a wasted trip!" said the elder of Xinggong.
Finally, he glanced at everyone and said, "Once you enter the tunnel, you can't exit. If any Taoist friend doesn't want to venture into the wonderful fantasy world, it's best to stay here. After a period of time, you can automatically teleport out of the Xutian Palace!"
"My fellow Taoists, please take care of yourselves!" The two elders of Xing Palace sat cross-legged on the ground without getting up.
It seems like he doesn't want to enter the third level.
Now that we have come this far, no one would be willing to return empty-handed and take all the previous risks in vain.
Therefore, when the elder of the Star Palace finished speaking, the Jindan cultivators in the hall immediately stood up and walked towards the passage.
But Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling sat on the stools, as still as mountains.
After the Jindan cultivator stood up, those Yuanying cultivators also moved. Wan Tianming and the other two chose a passage and walked in.
Mr. Qing Yi and Man Hu Zi also stood up. Man Hu Zi glanced at the two elders of Xing Palace, sneered, and walked into one of the passages.
Qing Yi looked at Ye Changsheng and Zi Ling who were sitting motionless on the stone bench in surprise, and thought:
"Do these two want to stay here and not go to the wonderful fantasy world?"
"Humph, how naive! Do you really think those two people from Xinggong will let them go and allow them to teleport out of Xutian Palace safely?"
"I'm afraid that after I leave, these two people will be killed by the two old ghosts in Xinggong immediately!"
"You have experienced the path of ice and fire but you still haven't learned your lesson. You are really asking for death!"
Mr. Qing Yi sneered at the decision made by Ye Changsheng and the others, but he was not kind enough to remind them.
He chose a passage and entered it. As soon as he disappeared, only the two elders of Xinggong and Ye Changsheng were left in the hall.
"You two, don't you want to enter those attics to get the treasures?" After Mr. Qing Yi walked in, the kind-looking elder of the Xing Palace suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
He had a kind face and his expression was full of concern, like an elder who cared about the younger generation.
"Of course we have to go and get the treasure!" Ye Changsheng said as he stood up.
"But before that, I have to send you two off first!"
When he uttered the last syllable, suddenly a green light flashed on his body, and he instantly appeared in front of the kind-looking elder.
"What?"
He only had time to let out a scream before Ye Changsheng pulled the Nascent Soul of this Star Palace Nascent Soul elder out of his head with one claw.
"what you do?!"
Another elder nearby was horrified when he saw this scene, his face full of disbelief.
Before he could react, Ye Changsheng flashed again and appeared directly in front of him.
"Bang!"
With one punch, the body of the Star Palace elder was knocked flying, hit the wall and shattered into pieces.
A light flashed between his eyebrows, and just as a Nascent Soul was about to fly out, Ye Changsheng's hand grabbed it.
He grabbed the Nascent Soul of the Star Palace elder and killed two Nascent Soul early stage cultivators instantly.
Zi Ling was standing behind, watching in fascination.
Elder Ye's strength was truly astonishing as he was able to take care of two Nascent Soul cultivators so quickly and efficiently.
Of course, the fact that Ye Changsheng was able to get rid of these two people so quickly, without giving the other party any chance to fight back, was due to the combination of many factors.
After all, the space here is small, which is not convenient for using magic weapons, but it is just right for his powerful body.
Moreover, the opponent was caught off guard by his sudden attack.
However, even after eliminating these factors, Ye Changsheng's current strength has reached the point where he can kill an early Nascent Soul cultivator in three or five moves.
