Chapter 69: Hidden Kill

After Sun Xuan stepped into this patch of clouds and mist halfway up the mountain,

this patch of clouds and mist, which had been drifting peacefully, instantly boiled violently like boiling water.

However, the scenery before Sun Xuan's eyes suddenly changed.

With a cautious expression on his face, Sun Xuan looked forward.

He abruptly discovered that he was now inside a dim passageway.

The passageway was dim and gloomy, and even his Divine Sense was suppressed within his body, unable to extend outward by even the slightest fraction.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan had no choice but to walk forward along the passageway even more carefully.

The passageway was not long. After just a fleeting moment of effort, Sun Xuan walked to the end of this passageway.

Stepping out of this passageway in one stride, the scenery before his eyes suddenly opened up.

A not-so-small secret chamber appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.

On both sides of the secret chamber were rows of wooden shelves, upon which were placed Jade Slip, precious Materials, Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and all sorts of other treasures.

The quantity was extremely large. Even with Sun Xuan's current composure, he could not help but feel slightly moved.

In the secret chamber, there was also a tall platform located right in its center.

A long flight of stairs extended from above the tall platform all the way to Sun Xuan's feet.

On the tall platform was placed a glowing table, and upon the table were placed three things.

Sun Xuan gazed fixedly at those three things.

After seeing the appearance of those three things clearly, Sun Xuan's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Those three things: one was a Medicinal Pill emitting a cyan luster, placed within a jade plate,

another was nearly a hundred pieces of jade piled together, emitting a charming milky-white luster,

and the other was a glowing small sword that emitted an extremely sharp intent.

"nascent transformation pill, a hundred pieces of immortal jade, immortal sword!"

Sun Xuan unconsciously muttered a few words to himself, an expression of extreme shock revealing itself in his eyes.

When Meng Tuozi and his group came here, when all was said and done, wasn't it just to obtain a nascent transformation pill?

Moreover, if the over a hundred pieces of immortal jade were absorbed after reaching the Soul Formation stage, one's cultivation in the Soul Formation stage could be completely consolidated.

Furthermore, it could allow one's cultivation to grow by another small section.

As for that immortal sword, judging solely by the sharp intent emanating from it, one could tell that its power was extraordinary—at least a Medium Grade immortal sword of the Inquiring Nirvana tier.

When Sun Xuan saw these treasures, his heart instantly stirred somewhat.

Seeing a flash of scorching heat in his eyes, Sun Xuan slightly raised his foot,

intending to walk up the stairs toward the tall platform.

Suddenly, the black crack at the center of Sun Xuan's brow slightly emitted a wave of scorching heat.

Sun Xuan's raised foot instantly paused mid-air.

Then, as if encountering a venomous snake or scorpion, he quickly pulled it back.

A trace of cold sweat faintly oozed out from Sun Xuan's face.

A moment ago, due to a lack of vigilance, his mind had actually been bewitched by the three things on the tall platform.

Under the self-protection of the Eye of Forbidden Gods, Sun Xuan was instantly jolted awake.

Thoughts slightly turned in his mind, and he could not help feeling a wave of lingering fear in his heart.

Within this Forbidden Mountain, besides the omnipresent Restriction, how could there possibly be any treasures?

Those three things on the tall platform looked like peerless treasures, but their true appearance was anyone's guess as to what life-claiming gadgets they actually were.

While thinking, with an ugly expression, Sun Xuan silently circulated his cultivation technique, and the Eye of Forbidden Gods at the center of his brow abruptly opened.

A patch of awe-inspiring black Restriction light shot directly toward the three treasures on the stone platform.

Under the shroud of the black Restriction light, all the surrounding things changed and distorted.

The tall platform turned into a burning Hell of flames.

The three treasures upon it: the nascent transformation pill transformed into a ball of lightning flickering with a faint purple light.

The immortal jade turned into a deep, twisting, and rotating vortex.

And the immortal sword, radiating terrifying divine light of Restriction, transformed from a Medium Grade immortal sword into a life-taking sword of Restriction.

Meanwhile, the wooden shelves around which various treasures were placed also turned into all sorts of life-taking gadgets.

Wisps of gloomy mist of Restriction lingered among them.

Where was this any treasure-hoarding secret chamber? It was clearly an Avici Hell, the Nine Springs of Yellow Springs!

Seeing this, with a gloomy expression, Sun Xuan slapped a small banner of Restriction coiled around his side.

A tricolor small flower instantly emerged from one of the small banners of Restriction.

A blue petal fluttered down from the small flower.

Within the entire secret chamber, endless tiny blue flames instantly ignited.

The Restriction traps on the wooden shelves on both sides continuously collapsed and dissipated under the burning of the blue flames.

Meanwhile, the Hell of flames that had transformed into the tall platform instantly revealed its true form.

Raging flames surged forth, standing toe-to-toe with the blue flames, burning and annihilating each other.

At this moment, the deep vortex on the tall platform that had transformed into immortal jade suddenly accelerated its rotation.

Then, a crimson pillar of light instantly shot forth from the center of the vortex,

racing straight toward Sun Xuan.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's mind stirred slightly, and the black Restriction light that had spread from the center of his brow instantly gathered into a tiny beam,

counterattacking toward this crimson pillar of light shooting toward him.

The two pillars of light, one black and one crimson, collided head-on and instantly annihilated and dissipated each other in mid-air.

After the two pillars of light annihilated and dissipated each other, that ball of purple lightning crackled with a flash and instantly charged toward Sun Xuan's direction.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan let out a cold snort. Raising his hand, a ball of grey flame emitting a dead and desolate intent materialized upon Sun Xuan's palm.

"Go!"

Hearing Sun Xuan give a soft shout, the Zhuyan Demonic Fire instantly turned into a streak of grey flame-light, charging toward the ball of purple lightning.

"Boom!"

Hearing a thunderous explosion, the moment the ball of purple lightning touched the Zhuyan Demonic Fire,

it instantly exploded into a dark purple thunder Hell of about a zhang in size.

Its formidable power blasted the crimson flames in the surrounding area that had transformed into the tall platform, as well as the blue flames formed by the blue petals, scattering them everywhere.

However, the Zhuyan Demonic Fire in contact with it only swayed slightly, and then the grey flames upon it flared up fiercely.

Unaffected in the slightest, the Zhuyan Demonic Fire expanded to the size of a zhang, actually burning backward against this thunder Hell.

Under the burning of the Zhuyan Demonic Fire, that zhang-sized purple thunder

was quickly wiped away by the Zhuyan Demonic Fire, much like handwriting erased by an eraser.

After just a moment's effort, it completely vanished from before Sun Xuan's eyes.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's eyes lit up slightly.

He knew that after the Yin Corpse Poison Fire devoured all the flame Origin of the entire Land of Fire Element and evolved into the Zhuyan Demonic Fire, its power had surged tremendously,

but he hadn't expected it to be formidable to this extent.

As one of the three major lethal moves of this Restriction land, the power of that purple thunder ball was definitely not to be underestimated.

Yet under the burning of the Zhuyan Demonic Fire, it actually dissipated just like that without a sound.

This showed that the power of the Zhuyan Demonic Fire was definitely extraordinary.

The very moment the Zhuyan Demonic Fire burned away the thunder Hell transformed from the purple thunder ball,

that sword of Restriction immediately emitted a soul-stirring sword cry.

Then, shaking slightly, it directly traversed space and arrived above Sun Xuan's head in an instant, slashing straight down toward Sun Xuan.
