Moreover, there were many of them, as many as dozens.If they got entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even more troublesome was that they were now trapped before the stone wall, with no way to retreat.
“Su Xiaowan, focus on breaking the restriction. These demonic beasts are left to Wan’er and me.”
Luo Qingchen made a quick decision and said to Su Xiaowan.
He knew that the only way to escape the predicament was to break the restriction on the stone wall and find a way into its interior.
Su Xiaowan nodded, hesitated no more, and immediately devoted all her mind to the Array Plate.
She tried to communicate the power of the Array Plate with the runes on the stone wall, hoping to find a way to break the restriction.
Luo Qingchen glanced at Lin Wan’er, and the two rushed towards the oncoming demonic beasts.
“Kill!”
Luo Qingchen hissed in a low voice. The sheath of the Black Dragon Sword in his hand turned into a flash of black light, smashing hard onto the head of a demonic beast.
The demonic beast let out a shrill scream, its massive body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Lin Wan’er’s Green Vine Whip moved like a spirit snake emerging from its hole, wrapping around a demonic beast’s neck and yanking hard.
The demonic beast had only time to emit a muffled hum before its neck was snapped by the Green Vine Whip.
However, these demonic beasts were fearless.
The death of their companions did not instill fear in them; instead, it incited their inherent ferocity.
They roared and howled, charging even more frantically at Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er.
For a moment, in front of the stone wall, flesh and blood flew, with the stench of blood in the air.
Despite their strength, Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er gradually found it difficult to fend off the attack of dozens of demonic beasts comparable to those in the Initial Realm of the Golden Core.
Their bodies bore more or less some scars.
Just then, Su Xiaowan, who had been focusing on studying the Array Plate, suddenly let out a shout of excitement.
“I found it! I discovered a method to break the restriction!”
Su Xiaowan’s face was lit up with excitement.
She realized that although the runes on the stone wall were ancient and obscure, their arrangement had a remarkable similarity to a certain Ancient Array.
Through the deductions of the Array Plate, she successfully analyzed part of the restriction’s operational pattern.
“Wonderful!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen invigorated his spirit.
He repelled a demonic beast with a sword sheath and hastily asked, “How do we break it?”
“These runes seem to be communicable using Chaotic Power.”
Su Xiaowan quickly explained.
“By injecting Chaotic Power into specific rune nodes, we can temporarily disrupt the restriction’s operations and open a temporary passage.”
Chaotic Power?
Luo Qingchen’s heart stirred.
He didn’t expect that the key to breaking the restriction would again be related to Chaotic Power.
He hesitated no more and immediately began gathering Chaotic Power at his fingertips, following Su Xiaowan’s guidance.
Then, carefully, he reached for an inconspicuous rune node on the stone wall.
The moment his fingertip touched the rune node,
all the runes on the stone wall exploded in dazzling emerald light.
An even more powerful wave of energy than before permeated from the stone wall.
The demonic beasts attacking Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er screamed in fear under the impact of the energy wave and retreated.
Immediately, the ancient runes at the center of the stone wall started to rotate slowly.
As the runes rotated, a phantom portal gradually emerged on the stone wall.
The portal stood several zhang high and about zhang wide, exuding a deep and mysterious aura.
“It worked!”
Su Xiaowan exclaimed excitedly.
Luo Qingchen also breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile on his face.
He could sense faint, ancient calling voices from behind the phantom portal.
Evidently, this portal was the entrance leading deeper into the Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
“Let’s go in quickly!”
Luo Qingchen urged Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.
He knew that this temporary passage wouldn’t last long.
Once the restriction resumed operation, they would be trapped here again.
The three didn’t hesitate and rushed toward the phantom portal.
The demonic beasts, though unwilling, dared not step forward to block them under the intimidation of the powerful energy wave.
They could only watch helplessly as Luo Qingchen and the others vanished into the portal.
After the three entered the portal, the light of the runes on the stone wall gradually dimmed.
The phantom portal subsequently disappeared.
The stone wall returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened.
Only the broken corpses of the demonic beasts on the ground and the pervasive smell of blood in the air testified to the ferocity of the earlier battle.
The surviving mutated demonic beasts hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly retreated back into the fog.
They knew they had already lost their prey.
There was no point in staying here any longer.
Passing through the illusory portal, the three of them, Luo Qingchen and companions, suddenly felt darkness before their eyes.
Soon after, a strong sensation of weightlessness ensued.
It was as if they were falling from a height of ten thousand feet.
This feeling lasted for a few breaths before gradually dissipating.
When their vision returned, they discovered they had arrived in a vast cave.
The cave was dozens of feet high, incredibly spacious, resembling an underground palace.
On the cave walls, there were many embedded unknown luminous crystal stones, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the entire cave.
In the air, there was a thick presence of spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy was entirely different from the chaotic spiritual energy outside.
It was pure and peaceful, refreshing the spirit of anyone who inhaled it.
“This place is…”
Su Xiaowan looked around with some amazement.
She hadn’t expected there to be such a place beyond the stone wall.
Lin Wan’er also displayed a curious expression.
She could sense that the spiritual energy here was even denser than that of the Inner Sect’s cave abode in the Qingyun Sect.
If one were to cultivate here, the results would undoubtedly be twice as effective with half the effort.
However, Luo Qingchen frowned slightly.
He was not bewitched by the scene before him.
He could feel that despite the dense spiritual energy, the place had an inexplicable eeriness.
Moreover, he vaguely sensed an even more powerful spiritual power than before, silently permeating the air.
“Everyone, be careful; there may still be illusions here.”
Luo Qingchen warned in a deep voice.
He didn’t want to be caught off guard like before.
Upon hearing Luo Qingchen’s reminder, Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan felt a shiver in their hearts.
They quickly gathered their minds, cautiously observing their surroundings.
However, this time, the appearance of the illusion was even more abrupt than they had imagined.
Right at the moment when Luo Qingchen finished speaking.
The scene before their eyes suddenly underwent a drastic transformation.
They found themselves no longer inside the vast cave.
Instead, they were standing before a magnificent altar.
The altar stood a hundred feet tall, constructed entirely from an unknown black jade.
The surface was engraved with countless intricate and mysterious runes.
At the top of the altar, one could vaguely see a bronze disc emitting a faint, eerie glow.
The bronze disc bore a resemblance to Luo Qingchen’s star map fragment.
“Star Altar!”
Luo Qingchen’s heart was rocked, and he instinctively exclaimed aloud.
The scene before him matched almost exactly the descriptions he had read about the Star Altar in the ancient tomes.
Could it be that they had inadvertently stumbled upon the legendary Star Altar?
A strong surge of excitement and desire welled up in Luo Qingchen’s heart.
Almost instinctively, he wanted to rush up to the altar to seize the bronze disc, which seemed to be the star map fragment.
Yet, just at the moment he was about to step forward.
The usually silent Bai Ling’er, who was nestled in Lin Wan’er’s embrace, suddenly let out a hurried chirp.
Her small face displayed an anxious expression.
The leaf mark of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass on her brow erupted with unprecedented radiant golden light.
A vast and pure Dragon Power surged forth like a tide.
Under the impact of this Dragon Power, Luo Qingchen felt a roar in his mind.
The Star Altar before him shattered like an illusory mirage.
He abruptly regained clarity, his gaze returning to lucidity.
“Another illusion!”
Luo Qingchen felt a rush of cold sweat on his forehead from the fright.
He hadn’t expected the illusion to be so lifelike.
