Chapter 1641: Five Hundred Kilometer Accelerator
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although killing Dao Feng seemed to have brought more trouble, Jiang Yi did not have any regrets. Since it had already happened, what was the point of regretting it? If he could go back in time, Jiang Yi would have done the same.
“What is this?”
Jiang Yi presented the hexagonal jade talisman to Qi Qingchen as he explained, “Some young masters and young mistresses had broken similar talismans and then vanished. This one belonged to Dao Feng. He did not manage to break it in time and was s.n.a.t.c.hed up by Poison Spirit.”
“This… could it be a Divine Escape Talisman?”
Qi Qingchen took a few looks as she nodded vigorously and continued, “Yes, this is indeed a Divine Escape Talisman. It is a very precious and rare treasure. After breaking it, one will be teleported back to the designated area set by their clan. Those young masters and young mistresses must all have been teleported back home. We are in trouble now. Even before we leave the Demon-Killing Palace, our enemies would already be gathered outside.”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes glistened as he gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t we find an exit now and teleport out? Who knows, we might even be able to teleport back to the Earth Domain before they arrive.”
“It’s too late.”
Qi Qingchen shook her head and said, “In order to reach the Ethereal Spirit Island to teleport back to the Earth Domain, we have to go to the Chaos Island to be teleported first. Even if we managed to enter Chaos Island, how would we be teleported back? Furthermore, how long would it take us to get to Chaos Island? By that time, Heaven Domain formidable martial artists would have flocked to Ethereal Spirit Island…”
“Let’s not rush; there is always a way out!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes s.h.i.+fted as he said calmly, “Since that is the case, let’s not go out first. I’ll refine this battle armor, and we can all think of a way to return to the Earth Domain. Right… Qingchen, I have gotten both treasure boxes. They contain two scrolls; could you try to realize them? I’ll refine the battle armor first while Poison Spirit will stand guard. En… Poison Spirit, I’ll see if there is any Primitive Spiritual Treasure among the loot; if there is, you can refine one as well.”
Jiang Yi sieved through the spoils of war. Two King-Ranked formidable martial artists actually wore Primitive Spiritual Treasure. Unfortunately, both had been destroyed by the mummy and Jiang Yi could only try his luck.
“Haha, Poison Spirit, you are in luck. There is one in Dao Feng’s ring.”
Jiang Yi’s eyes soon lit up as he refined Dao Feng’s ring and retrieved a green battle armor. Poison Spirit did not say anything as he hurriedly received it and disappeared with a flash.
Jiang Yi took out Dao Feng’s Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure and gave the two scrolls to Qi Qingchen as he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Qi Qingchen did not stand on ceremony. After all, the three of them were working as one, and if their collective strength could be increased, their chances of survival would be greater.
The battle armor was easy to refine as Dao Feng had died and his mental imprint was no longer on the battle armor. However, this battle armor seemed to be slightly sentient as it actually was trying to reject Jiang Yi’s refining. Jiang Yi did not fl.u.s.ter as he continued to inject heavenly powers into it as he also sent his Xiaozhuan characters into the battle armor. After four hours, the battle armor was finally refined.
“Alright!”
With this battle armor and his Power of Heaven and Earth, ordinary King-Ranked formidable martial artists would not be able to kill him. Jiang Yi was feeling much more a.s.sured. On the other side, Qi Qingchen’s brows furrowed, and she didn’t seem to be making much progress.
“Jiang Yi, you should hold onto this scroll first; it is impossible for me to realize it in a short time!”
Qi Qingchen handed Jiang Yi one scroll as she held onto another one and said, “This is a very special secret art; it is a top-notch movement technique called the Five Hundred Kilometer Accelerator! However, it is very hard to fathom. Though if I could reach the Phenomenal Stage, my speed will be boosted immensely.”
“How about this?”
Jiang Yi took out the Divine Tree leaf as he handed it to Qi Qingchen and said, “You can enter the Chaos Essence Pearl to realize this while I will take a look around and find other treasures? If I can find the Demon-Killing Palace core, perhaps we could easily flee back to the Earth Domain using it.”
“Alright!”
Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up. If they could get their hands on the Demon-Killing Palace core and operate it, they could easily traverse through the spatial zone. Returning to the Earth Domain would be easy. Time was of the essence to save their own lives, and Qi Qingchen didn’t care about anything else anymore as she took the Divine Tree leaf and entered the Chaos Essence Pearl.
“Poison Spirit, have you finished refining?”
Jiang Yi shouted as Poison Spirit floated over from afar. His face was full of emotions as he said, “Young Lord, I have succeeded in refining it. It is indeed a Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor. Many thanks, Young Lord.”
Poison Spirit was a traitor of the Phantom Race; he thought that he could only live in the shadows for the rest of his life. He never imagined that following Jiang Yi would allow him to live his life openly again, that his name would be known in the entire Earth Domain. He actually was also wearing a Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor now while wielding a Primitive Spiritual Treasure weapon. This was something he never could have dreamed of.
“What is there to thank me for? Let’s go.”
Jiang Yi’s mouth twitched as he smiled, thought for a while, and charged northwards. Young Mistress Gongyang and company had entered this place from the east, and the treasures there probably had all been taken; there wasn’t a point heading in that direction.
Jiang Yi kept the mummy as he sped forward with Poison Spirit. Wearing a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure battle armor, Jiang Yi was much more confident now. Even if He Nongying were to shoot an arrow at him, it wouldn’t kill him anymore, right?
This central hall was huge. After traveling for a few hundred thousand feet, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit reached a huge door. There seemed to be a door at each side of this central hall. This door’s restrictions shone, and it was sealed shut. He Nongying had probably gone this way before, but the restrictions had been reactivated.
“He!”
Jiang Yi furiously slammed at the door as the restrictions shone a little. Jiang Yi took a few looks as he nodded and said, “This door requires brute force to break through. Poison Spirit, step back.”
Poison Spirit took a step to the side as Jiang Yi released the mummy and injected some Power of Heaven and Earth into it. The mummy rushed forward like a sharp sword as it ferociously struck the huge door.
Boom!
A thunderous sound traveled as the restrictions dimmed slightly. The mummy raised its fists and started punching the door as it finally opened slowly with each punch.
“Ferocious!”
Poison Spirit sighed with admiration. Even if he wore a Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor, he would not be able to withstand more than a few strikes from the mummy, right?
“Such a pity.”
Jiang Yi sighed. This mummy was indeed ferocious. However, it required so much of the Power of Heaven and Earth; Jiang Yi could not use this giant killing machine at will. If he used up his Power of Heaven and Earth, the mummy would just become an inanimate creature.
Jiang Yi brought Poison Spirit as they entered the door as a light dazzled them.
They had actually reached a pa.s.sageway; this pa.s.sageway wasn’t leading straight. There were a few diverging paths ahead. This was a maze.
“There must be treasures here. However, they require using one’s wits. Furthermore, there might actually be an entrance to the fourth level from here; that would depend on our luck.”
Jiang Yi took a few looks as a fuzzy thought came into his mind.
Ordinarily, palaces faced the north and took reference from it. Since after walking north from the central hall they had entered this maze, there probably was an entrance to the fourth level from here. If there was a fourth level, the Demon-Killing Sword, the Demon-Killing Armor, and the Demon-Killing Palace’s core would definitely be in there!
Jiang Yi did not head forward recklessly. If he made even one wrong move in mazes like this, he might no longer be able to find the real exit again and be stuck in there forever, waiting for the time limit to reach and be teleported out.
Jiang Yi closed his eyes as he sat cross-legged and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man as he tried to scan his surroundings. After sitting there for five minutes, Jiang Yi’s nose managed to pick up a sliver of a scent as he stood up abruptly and pointed at the second pathway. He said, “He Nongying had gone by this path. Poison Spirit, let’s follow her. This la.s.s is a Heaven Domain great family clan young mistress and had easily entered the third level. She might actually have a treasure or map on her that could help her find the real entrance to the fourth level.”
