Chapter 225: The Yuan Ying Masters Take Action! The Illusion Dispelled! Opening the Tianchu Treasure Vault!
Roar!!!!
A tiger’s roar shook the heavens and earth.
A black light flashed, hovering above the Tianchu palace.
When the black light stopped, it revealed its true form: a fierce tiger with dark blue fur.
The Nether Tiger!
Its claws were incredibly sharp and indestructible, and they were also laced with poison. A mere scratch could lead to heart failure.
At the same time, another shadow leaped from afar, landing beside the Nether Tiger.
This shadow was a monkey covered in pitch-black scales.
The Black-Scaled Demon Ape!
These two seventh-tier beasts had originally been hiding within the beast tide. Now that the Zhou Tian Star Array of the imperial city had shattered, they revealed themselves, starting to provoke the two Yuan Ying masters in the palace.
Roar!!!!
The tiger’s roar and the ape’s howl echoed through the heavens, establishing their dominance and pressuring the human cultivators below.
With these roars, the human cultivators in the palace felt their blood boiling. If the Nether Tiger and the Black-Scaled Demon Ape continued to roar, even if the palace’s defensive formation didn’t break, the lower-level cultivators inside would suffer internal injuries or even be shaken to death.
The two Yuan Ying masters guarding the palace understood this well.
They could ignore the deaths of low-level cultivators.
However, if they cowered within the formation and didn’t go out to face the enemy, would they be blamed for dereliction of duty when Chu Yunxiao and the others returned victorious?
Moreover, hiding like this was disgraceful.
“Fellow Daoist, shall we take action together?”
One of the Yuan Ying masters suggested.
“Just what I was thinking.”
The other Yuan Ying master agreed.
The two soared into the sky.
The tiger’s roar and ape’s howl immediately ceased.
The low-level cultivators below became excited.
“The Yuan Ying masters are taking action!”
“The beast tide can be broken! The beast tide can be broken!”
“With the Yuan Ying masters in action, we’ll surely be safe.”
The two seventh-tier beasts and the two Yuan Ying masters faced each other in mid-air.
“Foul beasts, prepare to die!”
A battle between Yuan Ying masters and the beasts was about to erupt.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky, spiritual energy surged, and shockwaves raged, tearing apart the surrounding clouds.
The mere aftershocks of the battle could kill Golden Core cultivators.
Thus, both the seventh-tier beasts and the Yuan Ying masters tacitly moved away from the beast tide and the palace to avoid any hindrance.
This gave Qin Wang an opportunity.
Qin Wang secretly controlled his puppets, directing them to the various array nodes within the palace.
The puppets had one goal: self-destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although the array nodes were guarded by Tianchu cultivators, there were flaws in the defenses. One puppet managed to slip through the interception, reaching the array node and exploding instantly.
Boom!!!
With the explosion, that array node was destroyed, causing the defensive formation to shake violently.
The beasts weren’t fools; they immediately launched their strongest attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!
Finally, the sturdy formation shattered, and the terrifying beast tide surged into the palace.
At this moment, the Tianchu palace had become a playground for the beasts.
To achieve this result, Qin Wang had sacrificed all his puppets.
Now, he only had Zhang Fujiang, Yan Cangwu, and Jiang Haotian left.
But it was worth it for the Tianchu treasure vault.
Qin Wang led the three, mingling with the beast tide, and headed towards the Tianchu treasure vault.
At this moment, there were no Yuan Ying masters guarding the palace, making it a slaughterhouse for Qin Wang.
Along the way, Qin Wang had Zhang Fujiang and the others kill a few human cultivators to rob their storage bags and also pick up the storage bags of dead cultivators.
When Qin Wang and his three companions reached the treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, they found the area surprisingly quiet, with no beasts or human cultivators around.
Other places were ablaze with fires and echoed with the sounds of beasts and humans fighting, like a living hell.
But!
Here it was so peaceful that it felt unreal.
More importantly, looking around, there was only a lake, with no buildings in sight.
Could the intelligence provided by the system be wrong?
Absolutely impossible!
The system’s intelligence was always accurate.
So, this must be hidden by an illusion array.
“Master, there’s nothing here,” Zhang Fujiang frowned in confusion.
Qin Wang remained silent, looking at Jiang Haotian.
Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu, with their lower cultivation, hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
But Jiang Haotian, with his pseudo-core stage, should have detected something.
Jiang Haotian, understanding Qin Wang’s hint, nodded immediately.
He pointed his fingers like a sword and sent a sword aura towards the lake.
Swoosh!
The sword light flashed, piercing the lake without causing any ripples.
Clearly, there was something wrong with the lake!
“An illusion!”
Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu were startled.
Such a realistic illusion, if not for Jiang Haotian’s probing, they would never have discovered it.
Using such a lifelike illusion to hide something meant there must be a treasure behind it.
Thinking this, Zhang Fujiang and Yan Cangwu’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Qin Wang knew there was no time to waste, so he secretly requested Wu Su’s help.
Without hesitation, Wu Su acted, dispelling the illusion.
To Zhang Fujiang and the others, it seemed as if Qin Wang had simply waved his hand and effortlessly dispelled the realistic illusion.
It was known that illusion arrays, although non-lethal, had strong defensive capabilities. Even Jiang Haotian’s sword aura couldn’t disturb the illusion, showing its formidable defense.
But!
Qin Wang merely waved his hand and easily broke it.
Such power was indeed terrifying.
Zhang Fujiang and the others felt even more reverence for Qin Wang.
Jiang Haotian sighed silently, glad that he hadn’t followed the wrong person.
With the illusion dispelled, the treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty was revealed.
A three-meter-high warehouse appeared before Qin Wang and his group.
Square and without a door, it didn’t even have wall seams, looking like a massive stone block.
“Master, what is this?”
Zhang Fujiang asked curiously.
“The treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.”
Qin Wang said calmly.
“What?! This is the treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty!”
Zhang Fujiang’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Even Yan Cangwu and Jiang Haotian were thrilled.
Their breathing became heavier, and their bodies trembled slightly.
This was the treasure vault of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty!
It must contain many treasures.
But…
How to get in?
Zhang Fujiang and the others didn’t think too much, looking at Qin Wang.
To them, Qin Wang must have a way to enter.
At this moment, Wu Su secretly activated the Barbarian God’s left hand.
Vast blood light emanated from the Barbarian God’s left hand, condensing into a three-meter-large hand.
Although not large enough to cover the sky, it was solid and powerful.
The blood hand struck, hitting the wall of the treasure vault.
Without a door, it would forcefully create one!
A Golden Core cultivator hiding nearby, hoping to ambush, was instantly smashed by the blood hand.
Boom!!!
A huge hand-shaped gap appeared in front, with fragments of stone mixed with bits of flesh.
The power of a single strike was terrifying.
