Chapter 1054: Pseudo Saint’s Celestial Moat
“Stop, who are you?! Only those with the badge of His Excellency can enter this forbidden ground!” A guardian spotted Feng Feiyun.
This area consisted of four palaces protected by surrounding volcanoes. Each had monstrous auras within them.
Feiyun followed his intuition and came here only to be spotted.
A woman adorned in white armor stood facing him. She looked rather young and was a sword user. Nonetheless, she was obviously an older cultivator due to her mighty aura.
Feiyun calmly presented his Heaven Restoration badge and said: “I work for Azure Territory Lord.”
The woman unsheathed her sword and released chilling rays: “We only obey the lord, how dare a territory lord allows you to come here? Just who are you? Speak the truth or face death.”
Feiyun became surprised. He thought that given Sacred Court’s decline, the Azure Lord should have control of this treasury. This didn’t seem to be the case.
The woman saw his hesitation and immediately swung her sword to begin the offense.
She was a paragon and a tough one at that, definitely not someone who broke through at the fourth level of Nirvana.
He summoned the cauldron and sucked her inside in order to refine her body. A sword ray rushed out of the opening and aimed for his heart.
He activated a dao seal that spin in front of his chest and blocked the ray. This was King Zhuanlun’s world-renowned weapon – Trigram Seal, a fifteenth-ranked spirit treasure.
He only managed to activate a strand of energy, not the entire weapon. This required the power of a paragon. Once fully activated, it could compare to Crimson Territory Lord’s ultimate treasure, Golden Crow Wheel.
The woman eventually faltered and was reduced to a blood pill that fall into his hand.
“Death to all intruders!” Another figure flew out of a violet palace.
This was an old man with vigorous vitality and a sharp gaze. He sent out a wave of energy without lifting one finger, capable of rending the world.
Feiyun used the cauldron again to block in front of him. His sleeves fluttered heroically to the winds. Behind him were the myriad beasts empowering his punch to destroy the incoming wave.
He used his fiery phoenix wings. They flapped and sent an inferno toward the four palaces.
“Oh? So strong already? I suppose that’s why you managed to get here.” The old man became murderous.
He raised his hand and stretched it out for dozens of miles. This was finally a real attack.
“Cosmic Seal!” Feiyun retaliated with a palm strike as well. Alas, he felt a force invading starting from his palm to the rest of his body.
He felt as if a great elephant had just slammed him, feeling sore from top to bottom. He still had a way to go before beating true masters from previous generations.
This wasn’t the time to fight so he used Swift Samsara to hide in one of the volcanoes.
“You survived? Impressive!” The old man couldn’t believe it.
He had cultivated for more than ten thousand years with top merit laws from the treasury. Normally, he looked down on bullying a junior.
Alas, this guy was less than a hundred years old yet still got away from him. This wasn’t normal at all.
“I can’t let him take the forbidden item away.” He intended on going all out.
However, an old-looking tower suddenly ambushed him with a cosmic force.
“Another? This, this is a saint vessel, Immeasurable Tower!” He felt the mighty power coming from the artifact.
He hurriedly went back to hide in one of the palaces, activating its barrier.
Alas, the power of a saint vessel was heaven-defying. A beam of light instantly crushed the barrier and the palace.
“Ahhh!” His last scream could be heard. The tower reduced him into ashes afterward.
“Bam!” The tower dug into the ground and caused a violent quake.
The Evil Woman stood at the top and coldly demanded: “Hand all your spirit stones over or I will not be merciful.”
The guardians heard her declaration and thought that she was too arrogant. “Not being merciful” was their line.
The other three palaces activated their barrier. Powerful cultivators attacked at the same time.
She was undeterred and activated her evil aura, crushing one palace after another.
“Fuck, this is going to alarm the old monsters.” Grandpa Bi wanted to stop her rampage but refrained from doing so since he could go down too.
Taking this woman into the treasury might have been a mistake.
The guardian tribe was extremely strong and responsible for protecting the treasury. Even Azure Territory Lord didn’t extend his grasp here, meaning that there were things he was afraid of in this place.
Feiyun knew this as well and wanted to find the bone as fast as possible. He relied on his natural connection with the bone and entered the center of the volcano.
The flames here were monstrous and had the color of blood. They were comparable to the flames from his cauldron.
“What a strange place, there’s a celestial moat prepared by a pseudo saint.” Feiyun stopped because the flames ahead were rather frightening and destructive.
Only pseudo saints could get through here.
“There should still be openings in this celestial moat.” He calmed himself and sat down on the ground, activating his phoenix gaze and Grand Change Art.
“Brat, you’re too naive if you think you can steal the treasure in this volcano.” A powerful guardian walked up the ridge, heading for Feiyun.
He was obviously afraid of the flames and traps here, aware of its murderous potential. Though he was taking his time, he was still coming for Feiyun.
Feiyun frowned, not expecting them to come so quickly. He then noticed another spear-wielding guardian coming from another side.
One more showed up eventually. These three guardians were stronger than the female sword user that he killed earlier.
He smirked and decided to make a move, pointing his index finger at one of them.
This expert suddenly twitched as if he has just been punched in the chest, losing centuries of lifespan in the blink of an eye.
“What the hell?!” He immediately attached a defensive talisman to his body to create a white barrier against this demonic art.
Unfortunately, the power of tribulation was unstoppable.
Feiyun repeated the same thing and took several more centuries away.
“Ugh…” This expert lost nearly a thousand years of life and vomited a mouthful of blood. He became aghast and ran away.
The other two guardians didn’t know what was going on. Nonetheless, they weren’t afraid of Feiyun’s strange attack. One of them was rather close now.
“Die!” He summoned three spirit bronze cauldrons, each had a different affinity – lightning, flame, and golden light.
They were tenth-ranked spirit treasures, rare in the outside world but not here.
Feiyun activated his phoenix domain. Eight fiery phoenixes appeared around him. His hand turned into a divine claw.
“Clank!” After loud clanks, he easily grasped all three.
