842 Chapter 842, the terrifying aura of death!
(5,000 words!)
“Can this kind of rune array be cracked?”
Looking at the tall weapon rack in front of him, he asked with a frown.
He didn’t want to waste too much time here. As time passed, the people of the beast-controlling race would definitely become more and more anxious.
The strange program didn’t immediately answer Yang Tian. Instead, after several minutes of calculations.., it said, “With the information I have on runes, it’s impossible to crack this kind of rune array. However, finding its loophole should be possible.”
After the program finished speaking, it began to calculate again.
This was actually good news for Yang Tian. This was because the program was finally not as helpless against this kind of rune array constructed from ancient runes as before.
While the strange program was calculating, a series of strange light circles appeared in Yang Tian’s mind.
This was the simulation that the strange program displayed during the calculation process.
After countless collaborations, plus Yang Tian’s understanding of runes had also improved greatly. Although these light circles looked very mysterious, Yang Tian was able to understand the meaning behind them.
A few minutes later, Yang Tian threw out the blue long blade in his hand, and it landed on the fourth weapon rack.
Immediately after, Yang Tian slapped his palm onto the weapon rack.
With a loud ‘Hong’sound, the fourth weapon rack shattered.
Amidst the yellow gravel that scattered in all directions, Yang Tian grabbed the hilt of the blue large blade, and slashed towards the fifth weapon rack.
Powerful Blade Qi was emitted from the blue large blade, and it emitted a ‘chi’sound as it whistled.
The formless and overbearing saber qi crushed the remaining five weapon racks in succession as if it was a piece of dried twigs, turning them into a pile of crushed stones.
The talisman formations on the nine weapon racks were one, and six of them had been broken. The remaining three weapon racks suddenly emitted waves of clucking sounds.
The weapons placed on the three weapon racks were actually extremely heavy. Especially that red stone axe. Although it wasn’t eye-catching, it was the heaviest. With a ‘peng’sound, it crushed the weapon rack that placed it into pieces.
Subsequently, the weapon rack that placed the whip and the bone hammer also shattered along with it.
What changed was the entire blade unraveling hall.
After the talisman array was broken by Yang Tian’s saber, the entire hall slowly disappeared like the empty spirit hall from before. In the end, only a vast platform was left.
This hall was also formed by the Talisman Array.
Yang Tian swept his gaze around and immediately placed his gaze on the huge stone axe.
This red stone axe was embedded in the yellow gravel. When the entire hall disappeared, a crack appeared on its surface. It looked as though it could shatter at any moment.
Could it be that this stone axe was really carved out of a piece of Red Rock?
With doubt, Yang Tian walked in front of the stone axe and touched it with his blue long blade.
“Peng”
Suddenly, the stone axe exploded and shot out an intense red light.
Yang Tian instinctively retreated quickly.
When the red light disappeared, a bright red giant axe appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes.
The entire body of the axe had shrunk by half compared to before. Its entire body was bright, as if it was carved out of a large ruby. The handle and body of the axe were covered with dense runes and some mysterious patterns.
At the same time, a sharp aura was emitted from the huge red axe. It gave people the feeling that if they held it, they would be able to break everything.
Yang Tian looked at the huge red axe, bent down, and held the handle, wanting to lift it out of the rubble.
The huge axe was indeed heavy. Yang Tian held the axe with one hand, and it felt like he was pulling out a mountain.
The moment Yang Tian held the axe handle, a powerful spirit body entered his body, wanting to enter his mind.
With his previous experience, Yang Tian had long been prepared.
Experts did not want to die easily. In the instant before they died, a strong resentment could cause a portion of their spirit bodies to remain in their bones or objects that they had used before.
Weak creatures could not touch these things. Once they were controlled by this spirit body, they would be affected by the spirit body at the very least and lose their consciousness. At the very worst, the spirit body would be completely devoured and die.
Before this remnant spirit body could enter Yang Tian’s mind, it was blocked by the energy released by fifteen. It then wrapped the spirit body and pulled it into the blade.
The entire process was straightforward.
If not for the existence of fifteen, this unique weapon, Yang Tian would not dare to touch the things left behind by these experts.
Strangely, after the spirit body in the axe was swallowed by fifteen, the huge axe in Yang Tian’s hand suddenly became many times lighter and was easily lifted out of the pile of rubble by Yang Tian.
At the same time, the color of the huge axe also changed significantly. Compared to before, it became much dimmer.
Yang Tian looked at the huge axe and suddenly had a thought. He began to pour energy into the huge axe.
With the replenishment of energy, the color of the huge axe finally began to slowly recover. In the end, it became blood-red in color. In the end, it even emitted a blood-red light.
Holding the giant blood axe, Yang Tian was also enveloped by the red light, making him look like a demon god who had walked out of hell.
A spiritual weapon with a talisman array on it could also affect the user’s will.
At this moment, Yang Tian had an impulse to destroy everything in front of him.
Even so, Yang Tian became more and more interested in this kind of weapon. He used his strong willpower to suppress the violent impulse and continued to pour energy into the giant axe.
A moment later, when Yang Tian could no longer hold it in and was no longer willing to endure it, he threw down the huge blue knife and held the axe with both hands. He slashed at the third hall, which was about a thousand meters away from him.
Yang Tian was not clear about the power of this axe. Because his emotions were affected, he wished that this axe could split apart the hall in front of him.
A blood-red light shot out from the axe. After leaving the axe, it actually formed the shape of a cross and charged towards the great hall in front of him, whose name he didn’t know yet.
As this cross flew, it became bigger and bigger.
“Hong”
This enormous cross quickly charged towards the great hall in front of him and shattered it.
The palace in front was also formed from runic energy. After it shattered, the space fluctuated and quickly returned to its original state.
Yang Tian wasn’t surprised by this situation. The energy released by the huge axe only interrupted the illusory energy that formed the palace. It didn’t really destroy the runic array that formed the illusion.
After using the huge axe once, Yang Tian had a basic understanding of it.
Although this weapon was extraordinary, there was still a gap between it and the giant God’s blue blade.
Although its destructive power was strong, the energy that could be contained in the axe was far inferior to the blue blade. In other words, the power that Yang Tian used with all his strength was only slightly stronger than the previous attack.
And the energy that the giant God’s blue blade could contain was something that Yang Tian couldn’t estimate at the moment.
After the strange program read the runes on the axe, it couldn’t find the name of the giant axe. Yang Tian randomly named it ‘blood axe’and threw it into his storage bracelet.
The weapon that Yang Tian used was a saber. He kept this weapon and planned to let his friends use it in the future.
There were two other weapons, the long whip and the bone hammer. Yang Tian didn’t even have the interest to try out the power of these two weapons. After wiping out the remaining spirit bodies, he also kept them into his storage bracelet.
The key to the blade unraveling Hall’s Talisman Array was the weapon rack. Once the weapon rack was destroyed, the talisman array would naturally be unable to continue operating.
After storing the three weapons, Yang Tian did not immediately go to the third hall. Instead, he rummaged through the ‘ruins’of the blade unraveling hall for a while. In the end, it was the little azure dragon who had sharp eyes, he took out an inconspicuous yellow scroll from under a broken rock and handed it to Yang Tian.
There were also many runes on the scroll. The strange program translated it into a ‘Weapon Talisman Scroll’for Yang Tian. There weren’t many runes on it, describing many strange weapons. Unfortunately, this was only an introduction, there weren’t any battle techniques or methods to use various weapons on it.
This time, there was no need for the strange program to remind him. Yang Tian also flipped the talisman scroll over. Similarly, on the back, there was also a mountain river diagram. After the calculation of the strange program, this diagram and the mountain river diagram on the back of the Beauty Talisman Scroll.., just happened to be able to be pieced together.
Moreover, with this illustration, the program calculated that a complete illustration should be divided into five parts.
This couldn’t help but make Yang Tian guess that the five palaces here were all formed from the talisman arrays on the five scrolls. On each scroll, there was a mountain river illustration..
With curiosity, Yang Tian arrived at the third palace.
Each of the five palaces was larger than the other, and the terrain was higher as well.
After the strange program translated the third palace, Yang Tian called it the ‘body nurturing palace’.
The ‘bodies’here weren’t the bodies of living people, but corpses.
There were over a thousand corpses stored in the palace.
Their upper bodies were tied up by red ropes made of an unknown material and hung in the air.
The monument outside the hall stated that those who were qualified to die and their bodies were stored in the body-nurturing hall were all subordinates of King Zhaoji who had rendered meritorious service.
Countless subordinates of king Zhaoji were destroyed along with Zhaoji Island.
King Zhaoji used to be one of the most powerful creatures in the Sea of stars, so his subordinates were naturally very powerful.
No matter what race these corpses belonged to, they all took the shape of humans, big and small.
The huge ones were over ten meters tall, while the smaller ones were about the same size as normal humans.
The corpses stored in the body nurturing hall were surrounded by special rune arrays, and their bodies were still as fresh as when they died.
They were still fresh, and at the same time, these corpses still had the expression of when they died.
After entering the hall, there was a surge of air from somewhere, causing the corpses in the hall to shake.
The angle at which the corpses were suspended was also specially designed. The faces were slightly downwards, and as the thousands of corpses shook non-stop, hundreds and thousands of faces filled with anger and fear appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes, there were even faces that were completely distorted due to the pain.
If an ordinary human were to come here and see such a situation, they would probably be scared to death.
As for Yang Tian, he just felt extremely uncomfortable.
One step, two steps, three steps..
After entering the hall, Yang Tian slowly walked towards the main door at the back of the hall.
As he walked, the suspended corpse in the hall actually started to descend bit by bit.
When Yang Tian had just walked to the center of the hall, the feet of a corpse touched the ground. This corpse was less than ten meters behind Yang Tian.
At this moment, Yang Tian stopped.
This was the corpse of a woman. She was five meters tall, and to ordinary people, she was also a giant. The woman’s appearance was not bad. Her face was similar to that of a Western woman on Earth. She was wearing black tights, revealing her curves. When her feet touched the ground, the red rope that hung the corpse loosened.
A strange thing happened. The rope loosened, but the corpse was still standing. It looked as if it had suddenly come to life.
However, this corpse did not give off any aura of life.
The Little Azure Dragon was holding a leaf of the world tree and eating it. When it saw this kind of emotion, a dissatisfied expression appeared in its eyes. It opened its mouth and spat out a dragon flame.
“Boom”
The Golden Dragon Flames instantly enveloped the female corpse.
The Little Azure Dragon’s Dragon Flames finally took effect this time.
The corpse that was enveloped by the Dragon Flames let out sizzling sounds and simultaneously let out waves of black smoke.
A few blinks of an eye later, when the Dragon Flames were extinguished, the female corpse had already been burned into black dregs. However, there was a condensed black gas in the air.
There was an air current in the hall that could blow the corpse away. Normal smoke and dust would be blown away. Although this black smoke remained where it was, it did not show any signs of dissipating.
Yang Tian suddenly turned around and a red light shot out from his hand.
Fifteen easily passed through the black smoke and circled around in the air before returning to Yang Tian’s hand.
This strange black smoke was not a spirit body, and fifteen could not make it disappear.
“Little Dragon, this seems to be… Death Qi!”
Yang Tian looked at the black smoke and said lightly.
As soon as Yang Tian spoke, the black smoke suddenly floated toward Yang Tian.
The little azure dragon stuffed half of the world tree’s leaf into its mouth and spat it out.
This time, the Little Azure Dragon did not spit out golden dragon flames, but a green mist.
When the black mist came into contact with the little Azure Dragon’s Green Mist, it instantly fused into one and disappeared.
“Little Dragon, well done!”
Seeing the black mist disappear, Yang Tian smiled and praised the little azure dragon.
Yang Tian hadn’t thought of using the world tree’s leaves to break this aura of death.
The aura of death represented death and was a special type of energy. The World Tree, on the other hand, was full of vitality and possessed powerful vitality.
This powerful life force was naturally able to break the aura of death.
The aura of death here was clearly different from the aura of death Yang Tian had seen in the natural talisman array space. This was probably the work of King Zhaoji.
What Yang Tian did not know was that this aura of death was very strange. Once it came into contact with a living creature’s body, it would disappear. It was as if this aura of death did not have any damage.
However, in reality, it had silently merged into the spirit body, greatly reducing the spirit body’s lifespan.
There was another thing that Yang Tian didn’t know, and that was that these corpses couldn’t be destroyed so easily.
A female corpse landed on the ground, and there were even more behind it.
When Yang Tian stepped into the hall and triggered the runic mechanism, all the corpses hanging there would be put down.
When the aura of death dissipated, Yang Tian was already surrounded by densely packed corpses.
These corpses stood quietly. The corpses that had their eyes closed previously actually opened their eyes and stared blankly at Yang Tian.
Although he wasn’t afraid of these corpses, being stared at by so many corpses made Yang Tian feel uncomfortable all over.
Looking at the door of the back hall in front of him, Yang Tian took a step forward.
At the same time that Yang Tian took this step, the corpses also took a step forward. Their steps seemed to be extremely stiff.
“Pu”
Yang Tian raised his saber and slashed.
An Invisible Saber Qi was emitted from the Blue Saber and slashed at a corpse in front of him. With a series of “Pu Pu Pu”sounds, the saber qi pierced through the corpses until it hit the wall of the hall before it stopped.
The strange thing was that these corpses were completely fine after being slashed by the Saber Qi.
This was undoubtedly another thing that Yang Tian could not understand.
According to common sense, these corpses should have been blown to pieces by the Saber Qi.
Unless, they could absorb the destructive power of the Saber Qi.
Following that, Yang Tian slashed out a few more times, but the result was the same as the first slash. Moreover, during the process of swinging the saber, these corpses took another step forward and approached Yang Tian.
“I really met a ghost…”
Yang Tian smiled bitterly as he muttered to himself. He took a few steps forward and slashed down at a three-meter-tall male corpse.
Yang Tian did not use much strength in this slash. The blue blade cut straight down from the top of the corpse’s head. After it passed through the corpse, it cut into the ground. With a bang, the stone slabs on the ground shattered into pieces.
Although the corpse had been penetrated by the heavy blade, it had not been cut in half. If it had not been for the clothes on its body splitting and falling off the corpse, Yang Tian would have thought that it had only cut into a human-shaped Phantom.
Obviously, the blade aura and the slash with the blade were unable to destroy the corpses.
With a thought, a black ball appeared in Yang Tian’s hand. Yang Tian raised his hand and controlled the black hole to land on one of the corpses’head.
The powerful suction force of the black hole sucked the corpse into the black hole and turned it into powder.
Suddenly, Yang Tian opened his eyes and a terrified expression appeared on his face.
This was because after the corpse was destroyed by the Black Hole, it still released a stream of death aura.
This stream of death aura made Yang Tian feel an extreme aura of death.
This kind of death aura must not be allowed to enter the energy world!
Yang Tianyi moved, and the black hole chain suddenly reversed, spewing out this aura of death.
Immediately, Yang Tian released a world tree leaf from his storage bracelet, clenched it in his palm, and threw it at this ball of black aura..
The energy released by the world tree leaf quickly dissipated the aura of death.
“Little Dragon, burn them!”
Yang Tian said somewhat helplessly.
The Little Azure Dragon couldn’t hold it in any longer. When it heard Yang Tian’s order, it immediately transformed into a giant dragon. It opened its mouth and an endless stream of dragon flames gushed out from its mouth.
Soon, the entire palace was filled with golden dragon flames. Within the Dragon Flames, dense sizzling sounds could be heard.
A few seconds later, when the dragon flames dissipated, there was no longer a corpse in the vast hall.
However, a black ball of fog appeared in the middle of the hall.
It was unknown when, but countless auras of death had actually condensed into a ball.
