Death Grip
Xing Chen looked at the wall in front of him, and his Soul Power was slowly released again, but that layer of resistance reappeared, blocking his Soul Power once more.
The light in Xing Chen's eyes flickered as his Soul Power surged violently, crashing forward.
Boom!
A silent roar echoed, and Xing Chen's body shook, causing a slight daze in his mind from the recoil.
"Is it that my Soul Power is too weak to break through this restriction?" Xing Chen shook his head, raising an eyebrow as he spoke to himself.
Just as Xing Chen was troubled by this, Zhao Yiming and the others were still engaged in a final struggle against the Thunder Punishment Sword in the passage.
"Sizzle!"
Countless bolts of lightning surrounded the Thunder Punishment Sword, exuding an astonishing momentum. In the face of the Thunder Punishment Sword's attacks, Zhao Yiming and the others could only retreat as far as possible; they had no other options.
As it stood, they could not pass through the passage; ensuring they wouldn't die under the Thunder Punishment Sword's attacks was already quite an achievement.
If the Thunderfire Passage were not so narrow and there were no Magma below, they might have been able to find a way to avoid the Thunder Punishment Sword while traversing the passage. However, now, on such a narrow path, avoiding the Thunder Punishment Sword was already very difficult.
Moreover, they also had to dodge the Magma splattered by the Thunder Punishment Sword, which made their situation even more dire.
"Everyone, with the Thunder Punishment Sword blocking our way, it is absolutely impossible for us to pass through this passage. There is even a high chance we will perish here. We must come up with a solution quickly."
Zhao Yiming furrowed his brows and glanced back.
"I've noticed a problem. The Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword becomes increasingly elusive with each attack, which means its power is not limitless. As long as we can hold on, once the power of the Thunder Punishment Sword is exhausted, we can pass through the Thunderfire Passage."
Qiu Pengchi keenly observed the weakness of the Thunder Punishment Sword's Phantom: its power was not infinite. After all, this Thunder Punishment Sword before them was merely a Phantom, not the real Thunder Punishment Sword. Once its power was depleted, it would vanish into thin air, allowing everyone to pass through the passage.
The only uncertainty was whether they could hold out until the Thunder Punishment Sword's power was exhausted.
"Your plan sounds simple, but in this Thunderfire Passage, we might not even last long enough to exhaust the Thunder Punishment Sword's power before it kills us."
Zhang Mengning poured cold water on their hopes without hesitation. At that moment, the girl who had been following Zhang Mengning had already died under the Thunder Punishment Sword's attacks. Now only the four of them remained, struggling to survive under its relentless assault.
"There are no other options now; retreating is impossible. We can only fight with the Thunder Punishment Sword and must accelerate our efforts to deplete its power."
Zhao Yiming gritted his teeth; escaping was definitely not an option now. They could only fight desperately against the Thunder Punishment Sword.
As soon as Zhao Yiming finished speaking, he produced an Earth Grade Divine Weapon in his hand. Then, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he hurled it toward the Thunder Punishment Sword.
"Explode!"
At that moment, the Thunder Punishment Sword descended with countless bolts of lightning and collided with the Earth Grade Divine Weapon.
Just as they collided, Zhao Yiming let out a loud shout and detonated the Earth Grade Divine Weapon. The explosive power of the Earth Grade Divine Weapon could easily kill a strong practitioner in the Yang Spirit Realm, and this Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon's explosion could potentially take down someone at the Yang Spirit Peak.
Although this Earth Grade Divine Weapon was somewhat damaged, its self-detonation power was not significantly weaker than that of a complete Earth Grade Divine Weapon.
"Explode! Explode! Explode!"
Seeing this situation, the others immediately understood Zhao Yiming's intention. He wanted to use the explosion of the Earth Grade Divine Weapon to accelerate the consumption of the Thunder Punishment Sword's power.
Thus, the others also took out their Divine Weapons and threw them at the Thunder Punishment Sword, using the self-detonation power of the Divine Weapons to make the power of the Thunder Punishment Sword dissipate quickly.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen was still struggling against the wall in front of him. In just a short moment, Xing Chen had tried countless methods to break through the barrier that obstructed his Soul Power detection.
However, it was all in vain; no matter what method he used, the wall remained unchanged, and that barrier blocking his Soul Power detection still did not disappear.
During this time, Xing Chen even took out the Slaying God Sword, but it left no trace on the wall.
"What exactly is that barrier obstructing my Soul Power detection? What is hidden behind this wall?"
Xing Chen furrowed his brows, feeling a bit anxious. After all, he had already spent quite some time here. If Zhao Yiming and the others broke through the obstruction of the Thunder Punishment Sword and arrived here, he would be in trouble.
Even if he wouldn't be killed by these people, the power he had painstakingly stored in his Thunderfire Divine Ring would have to be used again.
"That's right, I remember that Zhao Yiming taught me the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, which originated from here. Perhaps I can break through this barrier with the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique."
Suddenly, a light flashed in Xing Chen's mind as he thought of his cultivation of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. Although his technique did not have any offensive secret methods, it inherently possessed a devouring ability.
Although he didn't know if it would work, he had no choice but to give it a try; otherwise, how could Xing Chen be willing to give up?
"Soul Devouring Refinement—Soul Devouring!” The light in Xing Chen's eyes swirled like a vortex capable of devouring everything. As the light in his eyes deepened, a wave of Soul Power slowly surged out from within him.
As soon as Xing Chen's Soul Power made contact with the wall, the wall suddenly emitted beams of golden light, and golden characters began to appear on its surface.
"This is..." Seeing the characters manifest on the wall, a hint of joy appeared in Xing Chen's eyes. He then focused intently on the characters, gradually realizing that he seemed to have seen this content before.
"These are the later layers of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique?" A glimmer of excitement emerged in Xing Chen's eyes. After observing for a long time, he finally recognized that these were indeed the later layers of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique.
When Zhao Yiming taught him the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, he only imparted the first layer and did not teach him the subsequent layers. Now, what appeared on this wall were the later layers of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, which also recorded many secret methods for soul attacks.
"Wait, this Soul Devouring Refinement Technique starts appearing from the third layer, meaning there should be a second layer in between." Gradually, Xing Chen noticed something amiss; here, the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique began from the third layer up to the fifth layer, while the second layer and subsequent layers were missing.
"It seems that Zhao Yiming and his group only obtained the first two layers of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, while what appears here are from the third to fifth layers. According to what is stated in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, this cultivation method has a total of nine layers, so four layers should be in other palaces!"
Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he quietly memorized the incantations from the third to fifth layers of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. The incantations from these three layers amounted to only a few thousand characters, which was not too much. Xing Chen spent about a quarter of an hour committing them all to memory.
At that moment when Xing Chen finished memorizing, the golden light on the wall suddenly dimmed, and those golden characters slowly disappeared.
The wall returned to its previous appearance, and no matter how much Xing Chen tried to sense it again, he could no longer detect the existence of those characters. The barrier that had obstructed his Soul Power also vanished.
"It seems that the incantations of this Soul Devouring Refinement Technique will only appear once; after that, they will disappear." After a while, Xing Chen nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself.
Then, Xing Chen turned and walked toward the northern Golden Copper Pillar, which was another place where he sensed something was off with his Soul Power.
Every time his soul swept over this area, it felt as if he was scanning through nothingness; he couldn't sense anything at all. Therefore, Xing Chen was convinced that this Golden Copper Pillar definitely had issues as well.
"That place just now had its barrier broken by chance because it was inscribed with the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. But how do I break through here? My time is running out!"
Xing Chen walked towards the Golden Copper Pillar, while his gaze briefly swept over the situation in the Thunderfire Passage. Although he saw nothing, he could hear the tremendous roaring sound coming from the passage.
This also proved that Zhao Yiming and the others were not dead; they were likely to break through the blockade of the Thunder Punishment Sword and arrive here. At that time, another fierce battle was inevitable.
Xing Chen arrived beside the massive Golden Copper Pillar, carefully examining the Bronze Pillar in front of him. He slowly walked around the Bronze Pillar, trying to discern some clues.
However, the result was similar to that of the wall on the eastern side; he found basically nothing. The result obtained by scanning with Soul Power indicated that this place was a void, and there was nothing at all.
This made Xing Chen's brows, which had just relaxed, furrow once again.
After circling the enormous Golden Copper Pillar several times, Xing Chen stopped and gently knocked on it. Listening to the 'thud thud' sound, he could be certain that this Bronze Pillar definitely existed. However, under his Soul Power scan, it seemed non-existent. This issue truly puzzled Xing Chen.
"Wait a minute! This Golden Dragon seems to have no eyes?" Suddenly, Xing Chen noticed that the Golden Dragon coiling around the Golden Copper Pillar actually had no eyes, or perhaps its eyes were hollow and not carved out at all.
Upon realizing this, Xing Chen's mind began to race. He thought to himself that this must be a breakthrough point. As long as he could figure out why this Golden Dragon had no eyes or restore its eyes, he would surely uncover the secrets contained within this place.
