Chapter 261: Chapter 241: Taiyi Absorbs Sky Killing
Translator: 549690339
“Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, Turtle-Snake Taiyi…”
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan formulated a plan.
Naturally, he couldn’t possibly risk himself by personally trying the strength of the Sky Slaughter Sword in the Taiyi Hall.
However, with the Formless Killing Machine, he didn’t need to be present in dangerous places.
He dispatched his duplicate to make some arrangements.
The genuine Li Fan quietly came to the front of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, lying in wait for the right moment.
Soon, an unknown guide to navigating the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters spread throughout the entire Misthaven Ocean.
At first, the cultivators were skeptical about the content of this “guide”.
However, when a few cultivators risked their lives to test it and indeed received
Techniques as inheritance,
the correctness of the guide was eventually confirmed.
By understanding the quirky rules, death could almost be completely avoided.
Thus, the already attractive Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters became even more bustling, as it never failed to draw in cultivators seeking adventure.
Not only were the solitary cultivators who were risking their lives drawn, even the normally cautious members of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals couldn’t resist once they acquired the “solution to the puzzle”.
One after another, they went to explore the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in hopes of finding opportunities for themselves.
And Li Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, chose cultivators with exceptional luck and targeted them with the Formless Killing Machine.
He used them as his own eyes to investigate the secrets of the Sky Slaughter Sword.
Because in the end, the guide clearly stated how to approach the Taiyi Hall and awaken the turtle snake monster, but it didn’t mention the opportunities that could be obtained in the Taiyi Hall.
So, used in a proverbial sense, ‘was not satisfied with acquiring the land of Long, they cast their covetous eyes on Shu’.
Naturally, in normal thinking, one could get more valuable opportunities the deeper they ventured into the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
Among these explorers, naturally there were brave ones filled with an adventurous spirit.
So, under Li Fan’s observation,
About a dozen people, after gaining benefits from various places in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters and not yet sated, moved towards the Taiyi Hall.
They reached the front of the sword forest.
Though the pain of the sword piercing the heart was terrifying,
thinking about the treasures within easy reach ahead lessened the pain significantly.
Enduring the excruciating pain, they made it to the square before the Taiyi Hall, just shy of passing out.
They started yelling out according to the guide.
“I, the one hundred and sixty-seventh generations disciple of the Celestial
Palace of Cloud and Waters, request to meet the Taiyi Ancestor Master!”
“Taiyi Ancestor Master, please come out and grant us an audience!” Their calls echoed throughout the sky above the Grand Hall.
“Boom!”
The earth trembled, and the Taiyi Hall soared into the sky.
Under the expectant and fearful gazes of the crowd, the turtle snake monster truly appeared.
It glanced around at the crowd in a somewhat puzzled manner and didn’t react for a long time.
But there were a few astute cultivators.
They started using the Techniques they had acquired in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, exhibiting proof of their identities.
The others suddenly understood and quickly followed suit.
For a moment, the Square was filled with different glows from the various Techniques being activated, reflecting upon Taiyi.
“You are…”
The slow-witted turtle snake monster finally came around.
“All disciples of my Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters?”
It scanned the crowd, verifying them one by one.
Looking at the various expressions of the cultivators before it, its once muddy eyes now shone with melancholy and joy.
“It’s been a long time since our Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was this “Ever since…”
“Wait, I seem to have forgotten something important.”
The turtle snake monster’s tone changed, and its gaze became disoriented.
Then, as if recalling something, its face drastically changed.
The Square trembled, and the Taiyi Hall shook violently.
For some unknown reason, the massive body of the turtle snake monster began uncontrollably trembling.
“Dear children…”
It hissed in a trembling voice.
“Run!”
The cultivators who had been expecting so much from the Taiyi Hall were dumbstruck.
Everyone thought they had misheard.
“What does ‘run’ mean?”
They looked at one another in confusion, unable to understand.
But as the tremors of the earth became noticeably stronger and more violent,
Everyone finally noticed that something was wrong.
“Run!”
The desperate voice of Turtle-Snake Taiyi echoed again.
As it shouted, a faint blue glow began to appear on each cultivator.
It was the same means that could instantaneously move the cultivators out of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters that they’d seen before.
However, just as the blue light was about to take shape, there was an instant disruption.
A black sword emanating menacing energy, the Broken Sword, suddenly revealed itself.
This time it did not summon ten thousand swords to penetrate the turtle snake monster.
Instead, it seemed to want to struggle free from within Turtle-Snake’s Taiyi.
In the middle of a painful, grating noise.
Taiyi let out a painful scream.
The casting of the teleportation blue light was abruptly disrupted.
“Buzz!”
The damaged Sky Slaughter Sword body was about to completely detach from Taiyi.
“No!”
The Turtle-Snake monster roared in anger, its body suddenly sinking downwards.
It seemed an infinite suction force was generated from within its body.
The sword body was once again, inch by inch, being is absorbed back into the monster’s body.
This act by Turtle -Snake Taiyi seemingly infuriated the Sky Slaughter Sword Body.
Countless sword shadows fell like rain.
Ruthlessly piercing through Taiyi’s body.
Taiyi let out a painful howl, yet refused to let go.
From the moment the Sky Slaughter Sword Body revealed itself.
To the Turtle-Snake using its body as a sheath to stop the Sky Slaughter Sword from causing havoc.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
In Taiyi’s screams, the cultivators in the square seemed to finally wake up from a dream.
With fear on their faces, they wanted to flee far away.
However, with a sword forest in front of them, it was extremely difficult to get through in the first place.
How could they escape easily now?
When everyone had just passed through half the distance of the sword forest, the Sky Slaughter Sword finally broke free from Taiyi’s body completely.
“Buzz!”
The sound of the sword’s hum echoed again.
As if it disdained to kill them personally, the tip of the Sky Slaughter Sword did not point at the fleeing cultivators.
It instead remotely pointed to a certain area behind Taiyi Hall.
As the sound of the sword’s hum spread.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The heads of the fleeing cultivators, one by one, exploded like watermelons.
The headless bodies strangely kept charging forward until they were far away, then they collapsed on the ground.
At the same time, Li Fan also instantly lost sight of what was happening in front of Taiyi Hall.
He could only vaguely see through the perspective of cultivators exploring other areas.
Just as the black Sky Slaughter Sword was wreaking havoc, a Blue Giant Hand suddenly appeared behind Taiyi Hall.
It grabbed the sword body.
Then it brutally re-inserted it back into Turtle-Snake Taiyi body.
An ear-piercing friction sound instantly echoed throughout the entire Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
At this moment, all the cultivators exploring within the Heavenly Palace let out a low hum, suffering varying degrees of injuries.
Their faces were filled with shock.
Accompanied by the grating sound like a knife scraping a stone was the Turtle-Snake Taiyi’s extremely painful howl.
“Hanhai…
The voice was like a muffled thunder, which resonated throughout.
In Turtle-Snake’s anguished voice, there seemed to be sighs, as if a breath of relief.
But there was no resentment.
The Sky Slaughter Sword was once again under control, and the sky full of sword shadows gradually disappeared.
With a roaring sound, the Taiyi Hall descended anew, and Turtle -Snake Taiyi fell back into slumber.
Everything returned to calm.
But the Blue Giant Hand slowly started to turn as black as the Sky Slaughter
Sword..
