Chapter 452

Fu Shaoping was angry, but he knew that he should not act impulsively at this time, so he responded coldly:

"People from the Blood Demon Sect should just take care of their own business. It's not your turn to worry about the affairs of our Wanning Alliance."

The Blood Demon Sect disciple snorted and was about to say something else when an elder from the Xuanqing Sect spoke up:
"At the exit of this desert, it is better for everyone to remain restrained. We are all here to find treasures, there is no need to engage in meaningless disputes."

Although Fu Shaoping did not respond on the surface, he was silently praying in his heart that Mu Zhenren would be able to appear safely. He secretly clenched his fists, thinking that if Mu Zhenren was really in danger, he would make those who hurt Mu Zhenren pay the price.

The barrier at the desert exit suddenly closed, like a ruthless gate falling, cutting off hope. Fu Shaoping watched the glittering barrier close before his eyes, but Master Mu was still nowhere to be seen.

Just when Fu Shaoping secretly vowed to avenge Master Mu, suddenly there was a bright light in the sky, and a magnificent palace slowly emerged from the clouds, and then floated in the air. The palace exuded a dazzling light, and was surrounded by auspicious air. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary thing.

Everyone was attracted by this sudden scene, and temporarily forgot their previous tension and grief. A disciple of Xuanqing Sect couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the reward for clearing the level? It looks really spectacular."

Master Rong of the Wanning Alliance frowned. He knew that behind this seemingly tempting reward there might be many dangers and disputes. He said to everyone, "Don't act rashly."

The people of the Blood Demon Sect also stopped laughing and mocking at this time. They looked at the palace greedily, their eyes full of desire. An elder of the Blood Demon Sect took a few steps forward and said loudly: "We, the Blood Demon Sect, must get this clearance reward."

Although Fu Shaoping's heart was still filled with hatred, he also understood the complexity of the situation. He looked at Master Lan beside him and whispered, "Master Lan, this palace looks a bit strange. Let's wait and see." Master Lan nodded in agreement.

Master Xu and his six fellow disciples gathered around him, and Master Xu said, "The fluctuations of spiritual energy around this palace are very strange. It seems that there is some kind of restriction protecting it."

Master Tan also agreed: "Besides, we still don't know what the reward for clearing the level is. Maybe it's a treasure, or maybe it's a trap."

Just as everyone was discussing, the door of the palace slowly opened a crack, and a soft light shone out from inside. There seemed to be something flickering in the light, like the light of a treasure, or like some mysterious call.

When the Blood Demon Sect members saw the gate open, they could not suppress their greed, and several of them rushed towards the palace. However, when they approached the palace, they were suddenly bounced back by an invisible force and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, the elder of Xuanqing Sect sneered: "Humph, the people of Xuesha Sect are so reckless. How can the restriction of this treasure hall be broken so easily?"

Master Rong pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's carefully observe the restrictions of this palace to see if there are any flaws."

Fu Shaoping took a deep breath. As a sixth-rank formation master, he knew that the current situation was both an opportunity and a challenge.

He concentrated his mind and began to carefully explore the restrictions around the palace.

He first paced slowly around the palace, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly released his spiritual power, making slight contact with the restrictions around the palace.

He could feel a powerful and complex fluctuation of spiritual power, which was like a huge net that enveloped the entire palace.

After some careful investigation, Fu Shaoping discovered that this restriction was a complex restriction that integrated the power of the five elements and the laws of space.

Judging from the frequency of spiritual power fluctuations and the arrangement of runes, the framework is constructed with the power of gold, the power of wood serves as a hidden vein, the power of water is used for spiritual flow, the power of fire provides energy support, and the power of earth consolidates the foundation.

In terms of spatial laws, the ban utilizes the principles of space folding and space locking.

The space folding makes it look like the palace is right in front of you from the outside, but in fact it is somewhat misaligned with the space where everyone is, which explains why the disciples of the Blood Evil Sect were bounced back when they rushed over directly. The space lock firmly locks the entrance to the palace, and only by unlocking the space lock can the door of the palace be truly opened.

To break this restriction, Fu Shaoping needs to gradually unlock the blockade of the five elements' power in the order of their mutual generation.

First, he had to find the core node of the power of gold.

Through a careful search with his spiritual power, he found a tiny golden rune flashing with strong light in the southeast corner of the palace. This was the core of the power of gold. Fu Shaoping used his own spiritual power to slowly inject a stream of pure water power into the rune. Water can drain gold. According to the principle of the five elements, the power of water can weaken the defense of the power of gold. When the power of water came into contact with the power of gold, a slight sizzling sound was emitted, and the light of the golden rune began to flicker.

Then, Fu Shaoping quickly moved to the west side of the palace, where the key veins of wood power were hidden.

He took out a top-grade spirit stone containing powerful fire power from his storage bag and guided the fire power to the veins of wood power.

Wood produces fire, and the power of fire spreads rapidly along the veins of wood power, igniting the hidden veins of wood power.

The burning wood power releases a vitality force, which begins to interact with the weakened metal power. According to the principle of the Five Elements, metal produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, and earth produces metal. The power of the Five Elements begins to form a cycle.

At this time, Fu Shaoping felt that the power of the five elements had begun to loosen, but the space lock had not yet been unlocked.

He came to the front of the palace, which was the key to the space lock.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and cast a series of complex spells, which were specifically designed to crack the space lock. He integrated his soul power into the spells and tried to sense the internal structure of the space lock. After some effort, he found that the space lock was composed of nine small space runes, which were connected to each other to form a closed space lock.

Fu Shaoping needs to apply specific spiritual power fluctuations to these nine runes at the same time to unlock the space lock.

He calmed down and divided his spiritual power into nine strands, establishing connections with nine runes respectively.

Then, he adjusted the fluctuations of each spiritual power according to a specific rhythm and frequency. This was an extremely complicated process, and any mistake would result in all the previous efforts being wasted. After some difficult operations, the nine runes simultaneously emitted a dazzling light, and the space lock was successfully unlocked.

As the space lock was unlocked, the restrictions of the five elements were also completely broken.

However, as we have noticed before, the rule of this restriction is that only those who have unlocked the restriction can enter the palace.

Behind him, the people from the Xuesha Sect and the Xuanqing Sect showed expressions of surprise and jealousy.

The elder of the Blood Demon Sect gnashed his teeth and said, "How could this kid possibly unlock such a complicated restriction?"

Although the people from Xuanqing Sect did not say anything, there was resentment in their eyes.

Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, glanced at his allies behind him, and then resolutely walked towards the palace. As soon as he entered, he felt a strong spiritual power surge from under his feet.

He was startled and quickly dodged to the side, only to see a stream of spiritual power breaking through the ground where he had just stood.

He did not dare to slack off, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Suddenly, the surrounding scene began to become blurry, and he knew that the psychedelic formation was activated.

Fu Shaoping immediately closed his eyes, held his breath, and used his strong willpower to resist the invasion of hallucinations. He silently circulated his spiritual power in his heart, trying to find the flaws in the formation.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a ray of spiritual light shot out from his hands and hit a key node of the formation. The psychedelic formation instantly collapsed.

However, before he could catch his breath, a roar was heard.

A huge guardian beast appeared in front of him, emitting dazzling light all over its body and its eyes were full of anger.

Fu Shaoping knew that this was going to be a fierce battle, so he quickly took out his magic weapon from his storage ring, which was a spiritual power folding fan. He injected spiritual power into the folding fan, which instantly grew larger. He waved it vigorously, and a spiritual power storm swept towards the beast.

The divine beast was not afraid at all. It opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames. The flames and the spiritual power storm collided in the air, causing a huge energy fluctuation.

Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to flash around and moved to the side of the divine beast. He waved his folding fan again, and this time, a series of spiritual blades flew towards the divine beast.

The beast waved its claws, easily blocking the spiritual blade, and turned around to pounce on Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping hurriedly stepped back, but accidentally triggered another mechanism with his feet.

The spiritual chandelier above his head began to shake. Fu Shaoping had to avoid the attacks of the divine beast while keeping an eye out for the danger above his head.

He suddenly had an idea and threw the spiritual power folding fan towards the chandelier. The spiritual power folding fan released a strong suction force in mid-air, sucked the chandelier, and then threw it towards the beast. The beast was hit by the chandelier and let out a painful roar.

Fu Shaoping seized this opportunity, quickly formed seals with his hands, and chanted an ancient spell, and a spiritual seal enveloped the beast. The beast struggled in the seal, but Fu Shaoping continued to increase the output of spiritual power, and finally sealed the beast temporarily.

After dealing with the divine beast, Fu Shaoping began to look for treasures in the treasure hall.

In a corner he found a box emitting a soft glow.

He slowly approached and felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming from the box. This fluctuation made his spiritual power feel like it was jumping for joy. He carefully opened the box and found a crystal clear top-grade spiritual stone inside. The spiritual power of this top-grade spiritual stone was far more concentrated than he had imagined. He was overjoyed, knowing that this top-grade spiritual stone would be of great help to his cultivation.

Just as he was about to put away the top-grade spirit stone, he found a tattered book at the bottom of the box.

He picked up the book and found it was a long-lost secret book of formations. Fu Shaoping was so excited that his hands were shaking. He opened the secret book and saw the formations recorded in it were so exquisite that he seemed to see his attainments in formations reach a higher level.

Fu Shaoping had just recovered from the danger and surprise when he suddenly sensed a strong and evil aura approaching. His heart tightened, knowing that an uninvited guest was coming, and this uninvited guest was the second elder of the Blood Demon Sect.

The second elder of the Blood Evil Sect had a ferocious look on his face, with greed in his eyes. As soon as he entered the treasure hall, he saw the treasure in Fu Shaoping's hand.

"Boy, hand over what you have in your hand, otherwise today will be the day you die." The second elder said viciously.

Fu Shaoping snorted coldly: "This treasure was obtained by me after going through many hardships, don't be wishful thinking."

The second elder stopped talking nonsense and quickly took out his acquired spiritual treasure.

As soon as the magic treasure appeared, the whole palace was shrouded in a bloody atmosphere. The magic treasure emitted a faint red light, as if telling of countless killings.

The second elder then used his first magical power, and a blood-red light shot towards Fu Shaoping. Wherever the light went, the space was corroded with black marks.

Fu Shaoping did not dare to be careless. He quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Daluo Vajra Seal!"

A golden seal flew out from his hand, and it quickly grew larger in midair, emitting a dazzling golden light, which collided with the blood-red light. For a moment, the golden and red light intertwined, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations spread all around, shaking the surrounding walls.

The second elder was angry when he saw that his attack was blocked, so he used his second magical power.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and streams of ice-blue spiritual power spread towards Fu Shaoping.

Fu Shaoping felt the power of this icy force, and he immediately used the Prisoner Ice Seal. Ice-blue seal runes emanated from his body, counteracting the icy force of the Second Elder. The two icy forces collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and ice flakes flew everywhere.

The second elder was already getting a little impatient at this point, and he decided to use his most powerful magical power.

He raised his hands high, chanting an ancient and evil spell, and a huge bloody force surged towards Fu Shaoping.

Fu Shaoping knew the power of this attack, so he quickly summoned his Star Scimitar, and at the same time, twelve Thunder Swords flew out to form the Taiyi Sword Formation. The Star Scimitar blocked the blood evil force in front, while the Taiyi Sword Formation attacked from the side. The twelve Thunder Swords flashed with the power of thunder and lightning and stabbed at the second elder.

The second elder waved his acquired spiritual treasure to block the attack of the Thunder Sword, but the Star Scimitar broke through part of the defense of the Blood Evil Force and scratched the second elder's arm.

The second elder roared angrily and rushed towards Fu Shaoping desperately, wanting to fight him in close combat.

When Fu Shaoping saw the second elder rushing towards him, he immediately used the Flying Demon Subduing Technique to protect his body.

A layer of golden light enveloped his body, and the second elder's attack hit this layer of light, only causing ripples.

Fu Shaoping seized this opportunity and controlled the Star Scimitar and Taiyi Sword Formation to attack again. This time, the Star Scimitar pierced directly into the second elder's abdomen. The second elder widened his eyes with disbelief on his face.

Fu Shaoping did not hesitate at all. He increased the output of spiritual power, and the Taiyi Sword Formation completely surrounded the Second Elder. Lightning power continued to bombard the Second Elder. The Second Elder's body gradually became illusory, and finally disappeared in an explosion of spiritual power.

Fu Shaoping looked at the place where the second elder disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.
