Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1938 – Prophecy of the Buddha
The brass lock was ancient and ice-cold. Its surface was covered with strange marks, and it was a treasure that Imperial King Yan Bing had given to Chen Xi before he died.
According to Royal Emperor Yan Bing, the brass lock was a treasure he had obtained by chance while exploring the Forgotten Areas of Chaos all those years ago, and even he did not know what kind of secret he was holding.
At that moment, Chen Xi had investigated him closely, but in the end he got nothing. However, his intuition told him that it must be unusual.
However, after he experienced everything here and especially after he saw the plots of the heretics, Chen XI became cautious and cautious.
Even to the point that he evoked a trace of suspicion towards this brass key.
Since Wang Zhong had intentionally allowed him to take the last piece of the savage beast skin, then was this brass key obtained under the same circumstances?
After all, Imperial King Yan Bing had suddenly suffered a calamity after he obtained the brass key, and he had been captured and held in the Divine Shaman Sacrifice Altar.
If one were to consider it carefully, then he had no choice but to wonder if the calamity that Emperor Yan Bing experienced was related to this brass lock!
“Hmm? You have such a key in your possession as well? ” Suddenly, Kong Youran stared at the brass lock in Chen Xi's hand and spoke in surprise.
“Any once!” At the same time, Yea Chen and Yu Jiuhui's eyes narrowed.
“What? You all have the same key in your stuff too? ” Chen Xi's expression became serious.
Kong Youran, Yea Chen, and Yu Jiuhui exchanged glances, and then they flipped their palms before the exact same brass key actually appeared on all of their palms.
In a flash, Chen Xi's eyes narrowed while a bad premonition surfaced in her heart.
“I also have.” At this moment, Zhao Qingyao pulled the brass key as well.
In an instant, they all fell silent. Just like Chen Xi, they realized how severe the problem was.
“This is no coincidence at all.” Chen Xi said seriously, “I suspect the reason you all met the black-robed figure who lured you all here is probably because you have such a key!”
Clumps of gloom appeared on their faces as they were also aware of this.
“Damn it! I never imagined that we would actually be opposed by them in the first place! ” Shi Yu gritted his teeth, and then he took the key in Kong Youran's hand and intended to destroy it.
“Wait.” Chen XI hurriedly stopped him.
In an instant, everyone stared at Chen Xi.
“It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to find out if it really is as I concluded. Perhaps, we can even obtain some useful information from it. ” Wadding of thought arches appeared in the corner of Chen Xi's mouth. “Give me all your keys.”
…
Six hours later.
Swooshes!
Waves of spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared in this boundless expanse of starry sky, and then a black-clothed figure shot out from space.
He was wearing a black robe, cloaked, and his entire body was shrouded in a thick black fog. He looked like a demon that came from the depths of hell, and his terrifying aura.
Swish!
As soon as he appeared here, he released his will, and it disappeared like crystal clear water and instantly covered this stretch of starry sky!
“Hmm?” The black-clothed man seemed to have noticed something, and he exclaimed in shock.
Swooshes!
In the next moment, he arrived at a star around him, and then he stretched out his hand and clawed the huge mountain into powder.
Surprisingly, many brass locks were at the base of that mountain!
“Damn it! It was really noticed by them! ” The black-robed man looked extremely angry, and he emitted a low, icy cold roar. It was just his voice that had shattered this huge star into pieces, and it turned into powder that spread around!
Swish!
The black-robed man stopped hesitating, and his figure flickered as he darted into the distance.
“This issue should be reported immediately to the members of the Sacred Hall!” The black-robed man was clearly aware that the mission they were doing this time had huge implications, and they were getting ready to have prepared and waited too long for this day. Once an accident appeared, then the consequences were unimaginable.
Bang out!
However, not even long after the figure of the black-robed man flashed into the distance, a stretch of clear-colored divine chains weaved into the screen of light that descended from the sky and blocked his path.
The filth! I fell in love with their trap!
The black-robed man's heart trembled. The surging black flames that had fear probably shot out with a wave of his hand, and they covered heaven and earth and even space that was burned.
It's thundering!
The light screen formed from the divine colored chains clearly shook violently and began to burn. It seems to be on the verge of collapse.
However, before the black-robed man could sigh in relief, an unexpected event occurred ….
Swooshes!
A sword that was as pale white as snow tore through the sky, and it was a supreme, divine, and radiated brilliant light.
Om!
A golden sun descended from the sky, and illuminated the world as it shattered.
Swish!
The eternal veil of the night swept towards the surroundings. It was dark and deep, and seeped into space and as if it was meant to drag the entire world into a state of eternal night.
This starry sky was shaking. A myriad of stars burst into pieces while chaos filled the environment, and a terrifying divine light filled this entire space.
This was a joint attack from the seven Region Lords, so it was clear just how terrifying the destructive power he possessed was.
These seven Regional Lords were naturally Chen Xi and the others.
Previously, they had hidden the brass lock according to Chen Xi's instructions, and then they hid in the shadows and waited until now.
Sure enough, everything that happened after that proved that the brass keys were really the despicable tricks that the heretics used against them.
This also proved why Kong Youran's group and Yea Chen's group would meet those heretics on the same day and be lured into this region.
All because of the brass lock!
Even to the point that Chen Xi was convinced that the reason Wang Zhong was able to find him early was definitely because of the brass lock he had brought.
All the questions are solved.
Now, it's time to raise the net!
As long as they were able to capture the black-robed figure that had suddenly arrived here, then they would actually be able to obtain even more valuable information!
“Damn it!” Falling into a hopeless situation in an instant caused the black-robed figure to be unable to resist roaring loudly, and this roar shook the world and carried anger and unwillingness.
It's thundering!
In the next instant, his entire body completely started to burn, and then a mysterious stretch of black divine flames appeared and flowed throughout the heavens and earth.
“Ingin catch me? Dream on! It won't be long before all of you useless idiots will be eliminated! ” Amidst his irritating and shrill voice, the entire body of the black-robed figure actually burst into pieces, and it turned into an extremely violent energy that swept around.
“Retreat! Soon!” Chen Xi and the others were instantly startled, and they dodged without end.
How could they have imagined that this black-robed figure would be so violent and ruthless once the battle started, and he really did not give them a chance before he blew himself up on the spot!
When everything scattered and the surroundings regained their composure, there was no trace of the black-robed figure in the surroundings anymore.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Chen Xi and the others appeared around him, and each of them had an unsightly expression.
Although they exposed the scheme hidden behind the brass lock, all of their clues could be said to have been destroyed once the black-robed figure disappeared, and it was impossible for them to obtain any useful information now.
“I never thought that these heretics were really cruel!” Shi Yu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“Now this person has perished, it will probably attract the attention of the other heretics. It will definitely affect our future plans. ” Kong Youran pondered deeply before he spoke.
“Persis. Now, it's not suitable for us to continue living here. We need to move to another place as soon as possible. ” Ya Chen frowned and spoke as well.
“Leaving? Where can we go after leaving this place? There was still nearly three years before he had a chance to return to the Ancient Gods Domain. During this period of time, those heretics will definitely stop at nothing to catch us. So, it's very dangerous wherever we go now. ” Shi Yu spoke with a grim expression.
He is not afraid of heresies. It was precisely because until now, they still did not know exactly how many opponents they had or how strong the combat power these opponents possessed. Everything is unknown, and this causes them to fall into very unfavorable and passive conditions.
“Whatever happens, let's leave this place first.” Chen Xi took a deep breath while her expression was calm to the extreme. “As I said before, we will overcome everything by sticking to the original plan. As long as we act carefully and persist for these three years, then all the dangers will be resolved easily.”
They all fell silent as they agreed with Chen Xi's opinion.
“Chen Xi, then you should be responsible for everything from now on, and the rest of us will follow your instructions. I guess no one would mind. ” Kong Youran took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
“Iya. Chen Xi, we will really calm down if you are the one in charge of everything. ” Others support Kong Youran suggestion.
Chen Xi was silent for a moment before saying, “I dare not guarantee that every single one of you will be able to survive, but I will do everything I can to bring everyone back to the Ancient Gods Domain.”
Voice's calm. It did not carry a firm or excited tone, but it allowed their hearts to feel steady.
This was the Chen Xi they knew. He never exaggerates anything, but he uses his actions and wisdom to work hard to achieve everything.
People like this are the most reliable.
“Come, let's leave this place first.” Chen Xi swept around with her gaze, and then she chose a direction and guided them as she teleported through space.
The direction he chose was completely opposite to the direction displayed on the complete animal skin map. Clearly, Chen Xi was still wary of the mysterious area at the end of the beast skin map.
Under such circumstances, he would absolutely not lead all of them to take such a risk.
…
In the mysterious area of the Forgotten Grounds of Chaos.
It's thundering!
Divine flames descended from the sky like lava.
When viewed from afar, it was like a sea of flames descending from the sky, and it tore through space and surged into an infinite abyss.
The abyss was boundless and deep unexpected. It was like a rift in the world that led to the entrance of hell.
A waterfall of flames descended from the sky but instantly vanished within this abyss, and it did not cause the slightest movement.
“Big and infinite, source of doom, end of reincarnation cycle ...” At this moment, Jia Nan who had disappeared in the Forgotten Grounds of Chaos for so many years was actually standing far away from this mysterious abyss. His gaze was deep, while the space between his brows carried affection for all living beings.
He's standing there alone. His clothes fluttered in the wind, his aura brightened, and he was solemn and dignified. When compared to the past, his imposing aura was even more calm and serene.
“The last days of living in the great abyss, the karmic misery of Samsara increased…. The Buddha's prophecy has really come true. In the end, the karmic tribulations of the last era had appeared in the current era …. ” Jia Nan let out a long sigh while the space between her eyebrows carried a wisp of worry that could not be eliminated.
