Chapter 1986: The Seventh Star Map Fragment! Guardian!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er both breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing on the ground, panting heavily.The intense battle just now, though an illusion, had taken quite a toll on them.
Especially the mental fatigue, which was beyond words.
“Bai Ling’er, thank you.”
Luo Qingchen walked over to Lin Wan’er and gently patted Bai Ling’er’s little head.
Bai Ling’er squinted comfortably, emitting a satisfied sound.
Luo Qingchen could feel that, after this incident, the bond between him and Bai Ling’er seemed to have deepened a layer.
This little one was not only his hope but also his most trustworthy partner.
While the three of them were taking a brief break.
Luo Qingchen suddenly felt a series of strong energy fluctuations emanating from the massive hole at the cave’s top.
The energy fluctuations were somewhat similar to the scene when the Star Map fragments were activated.
Could it be that the Star Map fragment or the Star Altar is right above this cave?
Luo Qingchen was moved, immediately looking up at the hole.
Sunlight filtered through the hole on the ceiling, dappled on the cave interior.
The intense energy fluctuations, indeed, were coming from outside the hole, carrying a touch of ancient and aged aura.
Luo Qingchen couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat quicken.
He had a strong premonition that their goal might be just above.
“Let’s go up and take a look.”
Luo Qingchen said to Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan.
The two women naturally had no objections, also filled with curiosity about the energy fluctuations.
The three of them supported one another and flew toward the hole at the cave’s top.
Passing through the hole, the scene before them suddenly became clear.
They found themselves in a vast underground space.
This space was even broader than the previous cave, spanning several miles in radius.
In the center of the space stood a dilapidated ancient altar.
The altar looked seven to eight parts similar to the Star Altar Luo Qingchen had seen in illusions.
Only, this altar seemed even older and more ruined.
The surface of the altar was covered with cracks and signs of weathering.
Clearly, it had undergone countless years of erosion.
At the top of the altar, a palm-sized bronze fragment quietly floated there.
It emitted a faint green light, mismatched with the surrounding chaotic Spiritual Energy.
A peculiar energy fluctuation spread from the bronze fragment, resonating faintly with Luo Qingchen’s Star Map bronze disk within him.
“The seventh Star Map fragment!”
Luo Qingchen’s eyes burst with sparkling light, his breath becoming slightly rapid.
He hadn’t expected that, after so many fruitless searches, they would find their sought-after seventh Star Map fragment here effortlessly.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan also showed expressions of surprise.
They knew that this Star Map fragment was of extraordinary significance to Luo Qingchen.
As long as the seven Star Map fragments were gathered, perhaps all secrets could be unveiled.
Luo Qingchen suppressed his excitement and cautiously approached the altar.
He could feel a strong Power of Restriction enveloping the altar.
This Power of Restriction was several times stronger than what they encountered on the stone wall before.
Clearly, this Star Map fragment was guarded by some powerful force.
Just as Luo Qingchen was about to step onto the altar.
An old, hoarse voice suddenly echoed in the vast underground space.
“Those who trespass the restricted area, die!”
The voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld Hell, carrying a chill that made one’s heart palpitate.
Following that, a phantom figure slowly took shape on the altar.
The figure stood several yards tall, its body composed of a grey-white mist.
It wore an ancient armor, holding a rusty giant axe in hand.
An overwhelmingly powerful aura emanated from its body.
The aura was ancient and timeless, having existed for tens of thousands of years.
“Nascent Soul Initial Realm!”
Luo Qingchen’s face changed, his heart surging with massive waves.
He hadn’t anticipated that the guardian of this Star Map fragment was a powerful being in the Nascent Soul Initial Realm.
Though merely a Spiritual Body, the pressure it emitted was stronger than any Golden Core Stage cultivator he had encountered before.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan also sensed the terrifying pressure, their faces turning somewhat pale.
They instinctively stepped back several paces, distancing themselves from the ethereal figure.
“Who are you?”
Luo Qingchen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
The ethereal figure did not answer his question.
In its hollow eye sockets, there were two ghostly blue flames, glaring fixedly at the three of them.
“Intruders shall be executed without mercy!”
It let out a low growl once again, swinging the giant axe in its hand fiercely forward.
A solid axe light, carrying the power to split mountains and stones, sliced down towards Luo Qingchen’s head.
Before the axe light even arrived, the piercing wind had already made Luo Qingchen’s cheeks ache.
He could even sense the space around him slightly twisting because of this axe.
Luo Qingchen dared not be careless, quickly channeling Chaotic Power, raising the sheath of his Black Dragon Sword to meet the terrifying axe light.
“Clang!”
A thunderous crash resounded.
The axe light collided fiercely with the sword sheath, exploding with dazzling brilliance.
A colossal force transmitted from the sword sheath, causing Luo Qingchen’s palm to go numb and his arm to feel weak.
He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, landing heavily dozens of feet away.
“Puh!”
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Luo Qingchen’s mouth, staining the front of his clothes red.
With just one strike, he suffered significant internal injuries.
The power of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Initial Realm was indeed terrifying.
“Senior Brother!”
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan were horrified at the sight, hastily rushing towards Luo Qingchen.
The ethereal figure didn’t give them a chance.
It swung the giant axe in its hand again, sending two more ferocious axe lights shooting towards Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan respectively.
“Watch out!”
Luo Qingchen endured the injuries within him, hastily warning.
He wanted to get up and help, but the Spiritual Power inside him wasn’t cooperating.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan were aware of the critical situation.
They each unleashed their strongest defensive measures, attempting to resist the terrifying axe lights.
However, in the face of an overwhelming disparity in strength, their resistance was so feeble.
“Bang! Bang!”
Two dull thuds.
Their defensive Magical Treasures shattered with a sound.
Hit by the axe lights, they also spat out blood, flying backward and falling beside Luo Qingchen.
All three suffered significant injuries, their faces turning exceedingly grim.
They hadn’t anticipated this mysterious Guardian to be this formidable.
Just two moves had already heavily wounded all three.
“Are we really going to die here today?”
Despair flashed in Su Xiaowan’s eyes.
Lin Wan’er also bit her lip, her gaze filled with unwillingness.
Luo Qingchen struggled to rise from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His gaze remained determined, without a hint of retreat.
“I will never give up!”
Luo Qingchen growled lowly, once more channeling Chaotic Power, preparing to fight the Guardian to the death.
However, at the moment.
Bai Ling’er, who had been quietly resting in Lin Wan’er’s arms, suddenly let out a crisp dragon cry.
Her small face showed a look of anger.
The leaf mark of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass on her forehead burst forth with an even more dazzling golden light.
A vast, boundless Dragon Power, seemed tangible as it surged forth, instantly enveloping the entire underground space.
Under the impact of this terrifying Dragon Power, the ethereal figure of the mysterious Guardian actually trembled slightly.
In its hollow eyes, a trace of unbelieving appeared.
“True Dragon Bloodline… It’s actually the True Dragon Bloodline!”
The Guardian exclaimed in shock, its tone filled with astonishment and dread.
The giant axe in its hand also subconsciously sagged.
Clearly, Bai Ling’er’s Dragon Power greatly intimidated it.
Seeing this, Luo Qingchen’s heart stirred.
He hadn’t expected Bai Ling’er’s Dragon Power to be effective against this Nascent Soul Initial Realm Guardian.
