Chapter 63: Taboo
Rolling sea of flames like the Yangtze River surging towards Xiao Gu, scorching breath scorched countless ancient trees around, and the soaring fire rose three thousand feet.
Xiao Gu spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating step by step. The little guy opened his mouth and spat out flashes of lightning, even striking out with dragon clan battle techniques that the divine ability could not block in the slightest. The large seal on his head had dimmed to the extreme, as if it would shatter at any moment, yet it was still being maintained by a mysterious power.
Xiao Gu's face was expressionless, and the Ming Wang seal transformed into a large golden hand that pressed down, but it only lasted for an instant before being shattered by the Great Seal.
Xing Wu Jin and others didn't even have time to react, the violent aura shocked the heavens and rushed towards Xiao Gu, in an instant, Xiao Gu felt as if a huge hand had grasped his heart, almost suffocating him.
Xiao Gumu retreated, and the Five Elements Fist Emperor's fingers moved in a continuous motion, but he still couldn't stop stumbling backward.
"Bury me with my grandson," the old man bellowed.
One finger to the Netherworld!
Suddenly, Xiao Gu stopped retreating and went all out, a yellow river with eerie decay and death breath rushed to the sky and floated in mid-air.
That powerful and terrifying aura of death almost tore through the void, corroding everything. It flowed like a true underworld in the void, with no beginning or end, as if there were vengeful spirits howling in the rolling rivers, their mournful cries making one's hair stand on end.
Splat, splat.
The yellow, putrid-smelling water of the Yellow Spring River met the shocking flames, stirring up large swaths of yellow fog, and the choking air also spread out.
This is the breath of the Yellow Spring, a terror beyond measure. Even Xiao Gu was aware for the first time of the terrifying aspect of this divine power.
A yellow spring phantom entwined around the old man's body, actually suppressing the flames around him. Water and fire are mutually destructive, let alone the Yellow Spring River.
It's just a pity that Xiao Gu's cultivation is far inferior to his, and even if he has infinite divine power, he can't truly hurt him, and can only temporarily suppress him, allowing Xiao Gu to quickly escape.
Boom!
Like a shattered chain, the illusory shadow of the Yellow Spring River burst instantly, disappearing and reappearing, making the flames' momentum even more terrifying.
"Although I'm not a genius, I've managed to obtain some ancient inscriptions and grasped a magical art. Now, I'll use this magic to send you on your way, Sun Wukong!" the old man bellowed.
The giant seal on his head transformed into a red sun, about ten feet in diameter, and his shocking divine power increased by 30%.
The terrifying aura continued to rise, and even Xiao Gu was forced to stumble backward. Xing Wuji and the others launched attack after attack, but were repeatedly forced back, unable to get close.
In an instant, the old man's aura soared to its peak, as if heavenly fire had descended, and a shocking sea of flames engulfed the entire mountain range.
Xiao Gu's expression changed drastically. Under this divine power, he was completely unable to avoid it. The only way out was to use that strange oil lamp.
"Hum! Xiao Gu angrily shouted, raised his hand and beckoned a bronze oil lamp to appear, ready to be lit."
Splendid!
A dazzling light suddenly flashed, and a thunderbolt from heaven instantly fell on the old man's head.
The old man's earth-shattering aura came to an abrupt halt, and the flames extinguished. One side was reduced to ashes, and the old man also vanished into thin air in an instant, as if he had never appeared before.
Heavy rain poured down, and the mountain fire that had been raging was extinguished in an instant. And after the big fire went out, the heavy rain also stopped abruptly!
This is! Xiao Gu's eyes widened in shock, this was also too coincidental.
"It's really still there, that power. It's been so long and it still hasn't disappeared, it's just not right," Old Wang Ba suddenly stuck his head out and muttered to himself.
"What? What power?" Xiao Gu asked as he turned his head back.
"Kid, you're stupid. You think there's such a good thing? Just as it happens to be a sunny day, a big thunderbolt strikes the old guy dead, then heavy rain puts out the mountain fire, and afterwards the rain disappears instantly. Is there such a coincidence?" Old Wang Ba said with disdain, rolling his eyes.
Not bad, Xiao Gu suddenly came back to his senses. It seemed that there was a mysterious power protecting everything on the island of savagery from the beginning of the great chaos until now. This time it seemed that because the old man used the ancient classics of the Sun God Temple to ignite the mountains and forests, it would be like this.
"What a strange place, it seems like any destructive behavior in this place is taboo," Xiao Gu muttered to himself.
Everyone left here, avoiding the pursuit of many strong people along the way, and finally found a secluded mountain valley. At this time, including two older generations of strong people, it can be said that everyone was injured, especially Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji were the most seriously injured. The two were consecutively severely injured, and at this time they were almost covered in scars.
A group of people hid here to heal their wounds in secret, until on the third day, Huang Xing Tian and an elder expert went out and brought back a shocking piece of news that stunned Xiao Gu, only then did they end.
"Brother Jing Tian, you said someone saw a thing similar to an array diagram flying over the void, with golden Dao lines flashing on it, but it's incomplete, only showing part of its appearance?" Xiao Gu tightly grasped Emperor Jing Tian's shoulder and hastily asked.
"What's wrong, Brother Xiao knows about this formation chart?" Huang Xingtian was shocked to see Xiao Gu lose his composure and immediately exclaimed in surprise. To know that since Huang Xingtian met Xiao Gu, no matter how seriously injured or pursued he was, Xiao Gu had never lost his composure before, but now suddenly because of a formation chart, it was naturally extremely surprising for Huang Xingtian.
"Brother Jing Tian, this matter is of great importance to me. Please, Brother Jing Tian, tell me about it in detail," Xiao Gu said with a faint bitter smile, and then released Huang Jing Tian.
It's okay, Huang Jing Tian didn't say much. Everyone has their own secrets. Huang Jing Tian and Xiao Gu are friends, there's no need to dig so deep.
On the desolate island, countless cultivators had just barely regained their senses from the ruins of the palace when someone inadvertently triggered an ancient mysterious site, unleashing a corner array diagram that instantly slaughtered hundreds of ferocious beasts and numerous cultivators, causing innumerable people to frantically chase after it.
It only took a few days for several major battles to erupt due to the array chart, with blood flowing like rivers. However, the array chart floated in the air, and countless powerful individuals chased after it without success, yet were unable to obtain it.
At the same time, Xiao Gu also took a step into pursuit.
For three consecutive days, there was news every day.
On the first day, a mysterious map appeared in a swamp, and many powerful warriors went there. As a result, a ferocious creature emerged from the swamp, killing dozens of people.
On the second day, someone used a forbidden device to locate the Array Diagram, but it turned out to be a snowy mountainous area. In this place, there was a Snow Mountain Dragon Blood Python that swallowed thirty-seven people in one bite, which scared off the others and they didn't dare to move forward again.
The third day was even more miserable, many pursuers stepped into a volcanic area, the array map suddenly burst out of infinite divine light to activate the earth's pulse, resulting in hundreds of people being burned to charcoal, including an unknown powerful sealed king strong who was severely injured.
"This array seems to have a spirit, leading many people to the land of death every time. In these two days, at least 200 strong men have been buried," said Xiao Gu and others, sitting together on a mountain top in the middle of the night, discussing helplessly.
"It's indeed the case, this array is indeed somewhat strange, as if it has gained sentience," Xing Wuji said, his head topped with starlight that seemed like an inverted galaxy, as he swallowed the power of the stars in big gulps.
By the bonfire, the golden roasted meat fragrance wafted, Xiao Gu tore off a large leg and threw it to Xing Wuji. Then he said: "Brother Wuji, Brother Shentian, I've been troubling you for so long, I'm really sorry".
"Hahaha, Xiao brother says it's not difficult for us to be brothers," Huang shocked the sky with a big laugh, tore off a piece of barbarian meat and drank a mouthful of wine, then threw the wine pot to Xing Wuji.
"Not bad, the heroes who have fought across the world, these days are indeed refreshing," Xing Wuji laughed loudly. The starlight merged into the wine, extremely strange, and there were sparkling lights in the beautiful wine. Xing Wuji took a sip of the starlight-infused wine and then handed it to the person behind him.
Xiao Gu fell silent and instead gazed into the distance. Some words only need to be said once, some people understand with just one sentence, saying more would hurt feelings.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, they sat down cross-legged. Since the killing of Lao Jia, many cultivators had been eyeing the little guy beside Xiao Gu, but no one dared to make a move openly. As for secretly, it was naturally not uncommon.
"Hurry up, Array Chart, Array Chart!" Suddenly, Xing Wu Jin's loud roar shocked everyone awake.
