Chapter 1039
The Collapsed Floating Continent
This bullet is none other than the one that wasn't fired at midnight in the previous horror movie.
It was also the most valuable bullet that Zero possessed.
The warhead touched the black and white world but did not enter it.
Moreover, a crack appeared.
at the same time.
The three layers of white Bagua diagrams began to spin wildly.
But no matter how they tried, it was all in vain.
The middle-aged man's brow also split open, and then his whole body began to dissipate.
When the last trace is erased, the black and white world disappears.
[Enchantment Bullet: Soul-Eating Sky-Piercing Bullet, worth two C-rank side quests, 3200 reward points.]
The following is the expanded content.
[An enchanted bullet, based on the Gauss armor-piercing round, inscribed with both spatial and dark magic. Utilizing spatial teleportation, it can explode directly inside the enemy's body, briefly absorbing their spiritual/magical energy and inflicting extreme damage. It has a special effect on high-energy units.]
When the black and white world disappears.
Two thump-thump sounds.
Chen Zilong and Li Xiao both fell to the ground in a very unseemly manner.
Instead, Zhang Jie controlled himself and went to the place where the middle-aged man had just disappeared.
He grabbed it with one hand.
A cloud of mist appeared out of nowhere, but no matter what Zhang Jie did, he couldn't control the mist from dissipating.
"This is... the Yang God!!"
However, before Zhang Jie could say anything more...
Zhu Wen floated down from him and pointed to the silver light emanating from Jonathan and the others.
"Look, the restriction formed by the Three Pure Ones' Daoguang has disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao and the others turned around and realized that it wasn't just these characters in the story who were affected.
The silvery glow on the distant pavilion also began to weaken and shrink simultaneously.
When the silver light of the Three Pure Ones completely dissipated.
Before O'Connor and the others could even ask what had happened...
A terrifying dragon roar that resounded throughout the entire underground space suddenly rang out.
"Roar!"
Amidst the dragon's roar, the pavilion's dome, jade walls, and golden beams, now free from the protection of the restrictions, began to crack and even collapse.
But the instincts of the strong made Li Xiao and the others subconsciously look towards the largest pavilion.
"Oh!"
Amidst flying bricks and tiles, five enormous figures burst forth from the sky.
It was none other than the Yellow Turban Warrior who had been relentlessly pursuing Jonathan through thick and thin during this period.
However, these five are now much larger than the ones we saw yesterday, some even more than twice the size.
Judging from its appearance, it was at least a hundred meters away.
It's hard to imagine how troublesome the Yellow Turban warriors would be in this state.
The reason for referring to their original appearance is that the current five of them look somewhat disheveled and heartbroken.
One of them had countless sword wounds on his body, and was cut down to only two-thirds of his body, which was just his head and shoulders.
A bronze arrow was stuck in one of its heads.
Runes flowed across the arrow shaft, forming a hole in the blink of an eye.
Looking down, you can see that the holes in this person's body are almost like sieves.
The third one was completely bound by bronze chains and pulled downwards.
The fourth body has half of a mud-like appearance, and its body keeps melting and then solidifying, which looks quite strange.
The fifth Yellow Turban Warrior was left with only a piece of clothing, and the once densely packed souls on the clothing were now reduced to a few scattered ones.
These five brothers were in dire straits, each more miserable than the last.
"I am lacking in the five elements, which is why I have been dealing with you all this way. Now that the restrictions have been lifted, where do you think you can escape to!"
Amidst the resounding echo...
A dark blue, winding figure flew out from the broken attic.
It was the same hundred-foot-long divine dragon that the Central Plains team had seen in the light screen.
The dark blue dragon stretched out its form.
He opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply in the direction of the five Yellow Turban Warriors.
The Yellow Turban Warrior, who had finally managed to fly a certain distance, began to retreat uncontrollably.
Even as it got closer to the dragon's mouth, its size began to shrink.
Finally, they turned into five round beads of different colors, which were swallowed whole by the suddenly appearing dragon.
The dragon that swallowed the Yellow Turban Warrior let out a satisfied groan.
After years of planning, he finally succeeded, and even he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
But he soon noticed a change in the outside world.
The enormous figure immediately flew down.
A voice resounded from the dragon's mouth:
"Li Xiao, come up here! Without the protective barrier, this space can't hold up any longer!"
It seems to be to prove this statement.
The ground began to tremble inexplicably, and then the tremors from beneath the ground became increasingly violent.
Even the entire continent began to shake and then sink.
The white continent in sight cracked open from the deep pit where the first god had just disappeared, creating a series of huge ravines.
Below these ravines, one can even see the churning, fiery lava at the bottom.
From the appearance of the Dragon Emperor to his swallowing of the Yellow Turban Warriors, and now the sudden collapse of the entire floating continent.
It only took a few seconds in total.
At this moment, the voice of the Dragon Emperor was heard.
Saito and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the center.
Everyone looked at the attic rooms in the distance that were beginning to shake and crack.
In that instant, they finally understood what the White Saint had done.
Since they did not switch the beams and pillars, nor did they use the main god space to restrict them.
The map shows countless cultivation manuals displayed there, in the rooms of those pavilions.
But now.
Once the first deity dies, the light of the Three Pure Ones will disappear.
Without the operation of the restriction, this continent would lose its ability to float.
The location, which was originally carefully selected by the cultivators, became a trap that the white-skinned saint could easily solve with a simple push.
"Dragon Emperor, help us!"
The giant dragon head looked at Li Xiao, as if trying to understand what this meant.
Li Xiao shouted again, "Brother Jie!"
Zhang Jie waved his hand.
Pieces of spiritual metal appeared from his spatial ring, then disintegrated into blue light spots that flooded into Zhang Jie's mind.
Then an astonishing transparent wave appeared and swept towards the disintegrating and shattering continent beneath their feet.
The central area, which was originally collapsing and falling, actually slowed down.
But it was only for a moment before blood started flowing from Zhang Jie's mouth and nose.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen vanished instantly.
Zhang Jie seemed to feel a little better after being possessed.
Li Xiao, Zhao Yingkong, and Chen Zilong vanished from the spot with ferocious expressions on their faces.
They rushed into the smallest rooms on the periphery.
At this point, anyone who isn't stupid will know what to do.
Surprisingly...
A swirl of yellow sand unexpectedly reached beneath the mainland.
A massive figure emerged from the sandstorm and half-embraced the falling attic building.
Imhotep naturally became a little weaker when facing the Yellow Turban Warriors, who were his natural counter.
However, this person is not actually weak.
Don't forget that Imhotep possessed the same infinite energy as the First God.
In addition, this person is immortal. If it weren't for being restrained by the Sun Sutra back then, along with other weaknesses, he would have been even more vulnerable.
How could they possibly be easily defeated by the Zhongzhou team?
Imhotep held the Bible of the Dead in his hands and began to read aloud. The previously blurry sand giant quickly became clear.
Imhotep didn't really know what had happened, but his gut feeling told him he should do something.
Otherwise, his elixir would probably be gone.
Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor could easily understand what Li Xiao and his group's goal was.
After letting out another long dragon roar, its already hundred-zhang-long body began to expand rapidly.
Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, one thousand zhang!
Finally, this colossal creature, over three thousand meters tall, also arrived beneath the continent, its body radiating a bronze glow.
The dragon's body used to support part of the falling continental plate.
At this point, the collapse of this land finally stopped!
The Dragon Emperor's enormous voice rang out once more:
"Hurry up, the three of us can't hold out for much longer."
"There seems to be a special force in this space that is suppressing flight."
Actually, there was no need for the Dragon Emperor to urge him.
It's not just Li Xiao.
Seeing that there was time left and the restriction had disappeared, O'Connor, Evelyn, and the others rushed in like madmen.
Having observed through the silvery light for so long, they already knew roughly what was there.
Therefore, each goal is quite clear.
Li Xiao and his two companions simply ignored everything else.
Everything that could be taken was put into the space bag.
They even took tables, chairs, benches, doors, windows, teacups, and spittoons.
However, two people in the chaotic crowd were quite special.
One is Chu Xuan.
After seeing that this continent would not sink into the magma in the earth's core for the time being.
Compared to opening blind boxes in each attic room.
Chu Xuan immediately squatted down and began collecting the writhing, struggling purple flesh on the ground.
Some are just a thread, others are a piece.
These are the remains of Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong that were ejected from the First God during the battle.
Although Chu Xuan was very disappointed with the physical body of the first god, it did not hinder his desire to study it.
Compared to cultivation manuals and the like, these are the truly precious things.
The second strange person mingled with the main group.
Jonathan was one of the first to enter this ancient tomb, and even entered some rooms before the appearance of the Three Pure Ones Daoguang.
If Evelyn and her group had a clear goal, then Jonathan had a navigator.
This shrewd individual, whose every move exuded cunning, passed by several rooms within easy reach along the way.
"If the map translation is correct, the elixir should be here..."
As he spoke, Jonathan nimbly darted into a beautifully decorated attic that was half-collapsed, just like a large rat.
Upon entering through the wooden door, Jonathan was immediately greeted by a refreshing and intoxicating aroma.
Just by smelling it, Jonathan felt much younger.
It's a pity there was no mirror, otherwise Jonathan would have realized that this wasn't a feeling but reality.
His bruised and swollen face, as well as his body stained with dark green ink, recovered in an instant.
And his appearance has changed to the way he looked when he first met Zheng Zha and the others.
If it were a normal Jonathan, he would definitely notice these obvious changes in himself.
But in this critical moment, let alone smelling nice, he wouldn't even bother to squat down and pick up a finger that had fallen off.
Once inside the attic, the room was small.
The most eye-catching feature is a stone platform in the center, about the size of a washbasin.
A hazy layer of light and shadow hung on the platform.
Despite the blurry and indistinct light and shadow, Jonathan could see a thumb-sized, pure white pill with colorful halos around its edges inside the light barrier.
The flavor we just tasted came from a little bit of that.
Jonathan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he rushed forward in one stride.
The moment his palm touched it, the light shield burst like a bubble.
As the restraints disappeared, an even richer fragrance filled Jonathan's mouth and nose.
The intensely pleasurable sensation made Jonathan's very soul tremble.
So much so that I was momentarily dazed.
That's precisely why Jonathan didn't reach out immediately.
When he came to his senses, he saw the "elixir" suddenly turn a corner and fly away, dodging him.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
When the elixir transformed into rainbow light and flew out, the entire space resounded with a thunderous roar.
The three who had been stubbornly resisting all coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Dragon Emperor's thousand-foot-tall body was riddled with shocking wounds.
Zhang Jie's face turned deathly pale, and his body became almost transparent.
The cover of the Bible of the Dead in Imhotep's hand was cracked open.
One can imagine the immense pressure they are under at this moment.
"Li Xiao, thirty seconds!"
"Leave in thirty seconds!"
They heard the Dragon Emperor's roar.
Jonathan scrambled out, watching the white rainbow soar higher and higher in the sky, wishing he had wings.
However, it was at this time that...
Saito, who was scavenging for trash in the ruins of an attic, suddenly sensed something.
Suddenly, Xiao Honglu's nascent soul in the specially made backpack on his chest opened its eyes.
He looked up at the sky.
The next moment, the nascent soul disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the rainbow light.
The elixir, which had been speeding along, seemed to sense something and immediately came to a stop.
However, Xiao Honglu was one step ahead and grabbed the elixir.
And it was at the very moment the two made contact.
The elixir actually merged into the nascent soul's body.
Xiao Honglu looked at the Zhongzhou team members with bright eyes, clearly wanting to say a lot, but there wasn't enough time, so he could only shoot out a beam of spiritual light.
Then it returned to its previous state.
It landed on Saito, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Li Xiao's figure moved like lightning through the various pavilions.
They glanced at each one without even looking at what it was.
Li Xiao also roughly understood Xiao Honglu's awakening in the air and the elixir released by Jonathan.
One can only marvel at how skilled this person truly is.
However, after the Dragon Emperor finished speaking about the 30-second time limit, he also saw the beam of light that Xiao Honglu had launched.
Li Xiao abandoned this area without any hesitation.
Even dragging its already shattered body into destruction once again.
Just to catch up with this ray of light.
Ultimately, this glimmer of inspiration vanished on an ancient platform.
Li Xiao's figure appeared at the same time.
At this moment, he discovered that the platform in his eyes seemed to be cast from a single piece of white jade, and its surface was extremely smooth, like a mirror.
Most importantly, there are countless strange runes and images on this platform.
Compared to the other collapsed attics and land, this platform and the attics in the distance actually look relatively intact.
Li Xiao looked up at the gate a hundred meters away, and without delay, his figure flashed again.
Just as Li Xiao pushed open the door and entered, he suddenly felt a thin, icy membrane flash across his body.
For a moment, Li Xiao thought he had entered the water, but this feeling was extremely brief.
As soon as he took his second step, the entire space returned to normal. (End of Chapter)
