Chapter 556
It turned out that there was a huge hall ahead, and in the center of the hall there was a huge monster. This monster looked like a lion, but had a snake's tail and wings, and exuded a powerful aura, and its strength had reached the middle stage of the spirit transformation.
"This is an ancient demon lion-snake-winged beast. I didn't expect to meet it here." The black-robed man's face turned very ugly.
Fu Shaoping frowned and said, "We can't fight head-on. Let's observe its weaknesses first."
They hid aside and carefully observed the actions of the Demonic Lion Snake Winged Beast. They found that its attacks were mainly concentrated in the front and above, and its wings would pause briefly when flying.
"Wan'er, let's do this..." Fu Shaoping whispered in Nangong Wan's ear.
Nangong Wan nodded to show that he understood. The two cast spells at the same time. Nangong Wan summoned a huge ice pillar and smashed it in front of the demon lion snake-winged beast to attract its attention. Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to cast the Qingdi Zhantian Sword and cut at its wings.
The demon lion snake-winged beast was attracted by the icicle and did not notice Fu Shaoping's attack. The Qingdi Heaven-Slashing Sword accurately slashed its wings, and it roared in pain and lost its balance. Fu Shaoping seized this opportunity and used his sword energy again to attack its vital parts.
Under the combined attack of the two, the Demonic Lion Snake Winged Beast was finally defeated. It fell to the ground and turned into a ball of light and dissipated.
"It was a close call. This demonic lion-snake-winged beast is very powerful. If it weren't for our good cooperation, we might not have been able to defeat it." Nangong Wan said.
Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "We have to be more careful next time. There may be more powerful beings in this Demon God Temple."
They continued to explore the Demon Temple, encountering some small monsters and traps, but they easily solved them all. However, when they came to a fork in the road, they were in trouble.
"There are two roads here, which one should we take?" Nangong Wan asked.
Fu Shaoping released his spiritual consciousness and carefully explored the two roads, but found nothing unusual. The man in black robe took out an ancient map and studied it carefully.
"According to the map, both roads may lead to the core area of the ruins. But the road on the left may encounter more dangers, while the road on the right is relatively safer." said the man in black robe.
Fu Shaoping thought for a moment and said, "Let's take the left path. Although it's more dangerous, we might gain more."
So, they walked towards the road on the left. Not long after they walked, they met Han Tianxue, Xueying and Ling Xianfeng.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet you here." Xueying said sarcastically.
Fu Shaoping smiled slightly and said, "We all came here to explore the ruins of the Demon God Temple. I hope we can cooperate with each other and deal with danger together."
Ling Xianfeng nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Fu is right. The ruins of the Demon God Temple are full of dangers. Only if we cooperate can we have a greater chance of obtaining the treasure."
Han Tianxue didn't say anything, but just glanced coldly at Fu Shaoping and others.
At this moment, the ground suddenly cracked, and a group of huge stone men emerged from the ground. These stone men were made of stone and had great strength, and they attacked everyone.
"Everyone be careful, let's deal with these stone men together." Fu Shaoping shouted.
Everyone cast spells and started a fierce battle with the stone man. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan cooperated well, and their sword energy and ice cones continuously attacked the stone man. Han Tianxue used the power of extreme cold to freeze part of the stone man. Xueying merged into the darkness, looking for opportunities to attack the weakness of the stone man. Ling Xianfeng wielded his sword, and the sword energy was crisscrossed, chopping the stone man into pieces.
With everyone's joint attack, the stone men were finally defeated. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they felt a strong aura coming from the front.
"It seems that there are more powerful enemies waiting for us ahead." Fu Shaoping said.
Everyone looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes. They sorted themselves out and walked forward, ready to meet new challenges. They didn't know what secrets and dangers were hidden in the unknown future, but they were ready to explore the truth in the ruins of the Demon God Temple and get their own opportunities.
As they continued to go deeper into the left passage, the surrounding environment became more and more oppressive. The runes on the wall flashed with strange light, as if telling of an ancient curse. There was a pungent smell in the air, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of him. The stone door was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a powerful forbidden force. Fu Shaoping released his spiritual consciousness and tried to explore the situation behind the stone door, but was bounced back by the restrictions on the stone door.
"The restriction on this stone gate is very powerful. We need to find a way to break it." Fu Shaoping said.
Everyone began to carefully observe the runes on the stone door, trying to find a way to crack it. Han Tianxue used the power of extreme cold to freeze the runes, but it didn't work. Xueying tried to use shadow magic to penetrate into the runes, but failed.
Ling Xianfeng carefully studied the arrangement of the runes and said, "These runes seem to be arranged according to a certain formation. We need to find the key nodes of the formation to crack it."
Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "Let's find the key node together."
Everyone dispersed and searched carefully around the stone gate. After some effort, Fu Shaoping finally found a rune hidden in the corner. This rune was different in color and shape from the other runes.
"I found the key point!" Fu Shaoping shouted. He used his spiritual power to attack the rune. After the rune was attacked, it began to flicker, and the restriction on the stone door also loosened a little.
"Let's attack this rune together!" said Fu Shaoping.
Everyone cast spells and attacked the rune. With everyone's combined attack, the rune was finally destroyed, and the restrictions on the stone door disappeared. The stone door slowly opened, revealing the passage inside.
"It seems we have succeeded. Everyone be careful, there may be danger inside." Fu Shaoping said.
They walked into the passage and found that it was filled with a thick fog. Fu Shaoping released his spiritual sense and found some small monsters hidden in the fog.
"Everyone be careful, there are monsters in the fog." Fu Shaoping warned.
Everyone cast spells to disperse the fog. After the fog dissipated, the monsters appeared one after another. They were small in size, but extremely fast, and attacked everyone.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan cooperated well, their sword energy and ice cones continued to attack,
They easily dealt with the fog and small monsters in the passage, however, unknown dangers were always around.
As they continued to move forward, the air around them became colder, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching them in the darkness. The runes on the wall flashed an even more eerie light and emitted a low humming sound, as if warning them not to go any deeper.
Suddenly, a huge open space appeared in front of them, like a natural arena. In the center of the arena, a huge monster was standing quietly. The monster was emitting colorful light all over its body, and each ray of light contained a powerful power fluctuation. It looked like a dragon but not a dragon, like a tiger but not a tiger, and had a huge horn on its head, with mysterious runes flowing on it.
"This is... a demon beast at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm!" The black-robed man's face turned pale in an instant, and his voice was filled with fear. His legs began to tremble unconsciously, and he almost dropped the ancient map in his hand.
Fu Shaoping frowned, but there was no fear in his eyes. He tightly grasped the Qingdi Zhantian Sword in his hand, feeling the warmth coming from the sword. Nangong Wan stood beside him, quickly forming seals with both hands and began to arrange the formation. Her eyes were focused and determined, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Everyone be careful, this monster possesses six kinds of magical powers and its strength is extremely terrifying." Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it injected a shot of adrenaline into everyone.
At this moment, the monster suddenly roared, and the sound echoed in the open space like thunder. Six different colors of light instantly appeared around its body, namely red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and black. Each color of light represented a magical power.
A red light flashed, and a huge flame barrier appeared in front of the monster. The flames burned fiercely, and the temperature was so high that the surrounding air was distorted. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping immediately performed the Daluo Vajra Seal. He quickly formed seals with both hands, chanting something, and a huge golden Buddha seal flew out of his hands and smashed towards the flame barrier.
The Daluo Vajra Seal was a unique skill that Fu Shaoping had practiced for many years. The golden Buddha seal was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a powerful Buddha power. When the Buddha seal came into contact with the flame barrier, a loud noise was heard, and the flame was temporarily suppressed by the power of the Buddha seal, but the Buddha seal was also burned by the flame and became somewhat dim.
"This flame magic is really powerful!" Fu Shaoping secretly exclaimed in his heart. He felt the powerful force contained in the flame. This was not just an ordinary flame, but the power of the law of fire between heaven and earth.
When the monster saw that the flame magic power did not work, a yellow light flashed, and the ground suddenly cracked. Countless huge stone spikes drilled out from the ground and stabbed at everyone. The stone spikes were extremely sharp and moved very fast, and they were in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Wan immediately used the formation to assist. Her formation could change the surrounding space. Under the effect of her formation, the speed of the stone spikes suddenly slowed down, and the direction also deviated slightly. Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to use the Qiankun Niu Luan Palm. His palms were surrounded by black and white light, as if containing the yin and yang power between heaven and earth.
Fu Shaoping pushed his palm forward, and a powerful palm force attacked the stone spikes. Wherever the palm force passed, the stone spikes broke. However, there were still a few stone spikes that broke through the palm force and stabbed towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping flashed and cleverly avoided the stone spikes, but the corner of his clothes was still cut by the stone spikes.
"I can't be passive like this anymore!" Fu Shaoping thought to himself. He decided to take the initiative and use the Prison Heaven Ice Seal. He raised his hands, and suddenly countless huge pieces of ice appeared in the sky, flashing a faint blue light and emitting a biting cold.
The ice fell quickly towards the monster, wrapping it tightly. The monster roared, and a blue light flashed on its body. It actually used the magical power of water. A huge stream of water spurted out of its mouth and collided with the ice. The water and ice blended with each other, making a crackling sound.
In the collision between water and ice, Fu Shaoping felt the interaction of the two forces. The softness of water and the hardness of ice competed with each other, and it was difficult to tell who would win. Seeing this, Nangong Wan immediately strengthened the power of the formation, making the surrounding space even colder and increasing the power of the Prisoner Ice Seal.
At this moment, the monster's body flashed green light, and it used its wood magic. Countless vines emerged from the ground and entangled with everyone. The vines were extremely tough and covered with sharp thorns.
Fu Shaoping used the Star Scimitar. The Star Scimitar in his hand flashed with brilliant light, as if it had gathered the power of the stars. He swung the scimitar and chopped at the vines. Wherever the scimitar passed, the vines broke. But the vines continued to grow as if they had life, and soon surrounded everyone again.
"This is not a solution!" Fu Shaoping was anxious. He suddenly thought of the Taiyi Sword Formation. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and twelve Thunder Swords flew out from his storage ring, forming a huge sword formation in the air.
The Taiyi Sword Formation was a sword formation that Fu Shaoping had practiced meticulously. Each Jinglei Sword contained a powerful force of thunder. The sword formation was activated, and countless lightning bolts shot out from the swords, attacking the vines and monsters. Wherever the lightning passed, the vines were scorched, and the monsters were also struck by lightning, letting out a painful roar.
However, the monster did not give in. A purple light flashed on its body, and it used its spatial magic. The surrounding space instantly twisted, and everyone felt dizzy, as if they were sucked into a huge vortex.
Fu Shaoping felt that his body was out of control, as if being pulled by a powerful force. He gritted his teeth and used his spiritual power to try to stabilize his body. Nangong Wan was also trying to maintain the stability of the formation. Her face turned very pale, and beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
"Hold on!" Fu Shaoping shouted loudly. He knew that in this distorted space, if he lost his balance, he would be doomed.
Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, a black light flashed on the monster's body, and it used its death magic. A strong breath of death spread towards everyone, and wherever it passed, flowers and plants withered and stones weathered.
Fu Shaoping felt his vitality was draining away, and his body began to become weak. He knew in his heart that this death magic was one of the most powerful magics of the monsters. If they could not break it in time, everyone's lives would be in danger. (End of this chapter)
