Chapter 5694
At this moment, Kai had already stepped into the bizarre and layered inner world of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
He sensed Cen Biqing and Lao Hei’s increasingly clear auras, his gaze fixed resolutely on the depths of the tower.
“Little Qing, Lao Hei, I’m here…”
“Kid, I sense something’s wrong.” In his mind’s eye, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord’s voice was grave. “The tower’s aura is very violent, the spatial fluctuations are extremely unstable, as if it’s been enraged by something, or rather… it’s on guard against something.”
Kai nodded; he sensed it too.
This time, the Demon-Suppressing Tower was like an ancient, ferocious beast that had been disturbed, baring its hideous fangs.
“No matter what, I must go in!”
Kai’s tone was resolute.
He had promised to rescue them!
Kai adjusted his breathing, raising his state to its peak, and then his figure transformed into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the tower’s entrance!
However, just as he approached within a hundred feet of the tower, a sudden change occurred!
“Roar—!!!”
The four stone lions seemed to awaken completely, simultaneously unleashing a deafening roar!
The celestial runes on their bodies suddenly lit up, shooting out four thick beams of white light that intertwined in the air, instantly forming a net of light covering the entire tower area!
Runes flowed across the net, radiating an aura of imprisonment and destruction!
At the same time, the space in front of Kai shattered like glass, forming countless incredibly sharp spatial fragments that, accompanied by violent spatial turbulence, swept towards him!
This was no longer a simple barrier, but a deadly array combining spatial tearing!
“Well done!”
Kai was prepared; his Heavenly Eye instantly activated, clearly revealing the incredibly complex array structure and spatial nodes before him.
“Slash!”
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was drawn with a clang, emitting a high-pitched dragon roar!
Kai pushed his newly comprehended sword intent to its limit, unleashing a condensed, five-colored sword aura containing the power to cut through space!
*Sizzle!*
The sword aura collided with the net of light, producing a piercing tearing sound.
The light net, which was enough to easily annihilate a Celestial Immortal cultivator, was forcibly torn open by the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which had fused with sword intent and spatial power!
But spatial turbulence and fragments had already reached him! Kai’s figure flickered like a ghost, narrowly avoiding several fatal spatial rifts while simultaneously wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword to shatter the incoming spatial fragments!
Each collision erupted with dazzling sparks and violent spatial tremors.
Kai’s arms were numb from the shock, and his blood surged.
The power of this spatial killing array far exceeded his expectations!
“Don’t try to withstand it head-on, find the array’s core!” the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord warned.
Kai’s Heavenly Eye rapidly scanned, instantly locking onto the core runes continuously emitting energy between the brows of the four stone lions!
“Break!”
he roared, the power of the five elements within his body surging wildly, converging at the tip of his sword.
He became one with his sword, transforming into a rapidly spinning drill, defying the raging spatial turbulence, and thrusting four swords at the brows of the four stone lions!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Four crisp sounds, like the striking of jade chimes, rang out almost simultaneously!
The movements of the four stone lions abruptly halted, and the light from the runes between their brows instantly dimmed.
The massive net of light also began to fluctuate and weaken.
Kai seized this fleeting opportunity, his figure flashing like lightning as he darted through the weakest point in the net, simultaneously slashing his sword fiercely at the newly formed yellow runes on the tower gate! Boom
!
The runes exploded, and the tower gate swung open! Without hesitation, Kai stepped into the familiar, decaying space inside the tower!
Stepping inside, Kai’s expression instantly changed!
The scene on the first floor was vastly different from when he last left!
The scattered corpses and bones had mostly vanished!
In their place stood a massive, complex, and eerie array in the center of the ground, emanating a dense black aura.
