Chapter 779 The Giant of Magic, the Master of Thousand Faces?
Finally, they came to the stone gate.
Luo Chen stretched out his hand, touched the runes, and tried to unlock the seal of the stone gate.
"These runes seem to require a specific order to unlock." Luo Chen said with a frown.
Qing Shuang nodded, and she took out a piece of paper from her arms, which recorded the map of the secret realm given to them by Xuan Jizi, the elder of Tianji Pavilion.
"Maybe there are clues about runes on this map." Qingshuang said.
Luochen took the map and studied it carefully.
After some deliberation, he finally found a way to open the stone door.
"I understand, Qingshuang, let's try it." Luo Chen said.
Following the clues on the map, the two began to enter the correct sequence of runes on the stone gate.
As the last rune fell, the stone door slowly opened with a heavy roar.
Behind the stone gate is an unknown darkness. Luochen and Qingshuang took a deep breath. They knew that once they stepped through this door, there would be no turning back.
"Let's go." Luo Chen said.
Qingshuang nodded, and the two stepped into the stone door side by side.
The world behind the door is completely different from what they imagined, full of mystery and unknowns.
"Is this the depths of the Endless Netherworld?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.
Luochen looked around, his eyes flashing with exploratory light, "It seems so, let's be more careful."
As the two continued walking, the surrounding environment became more and more strange.
They discovered some ancient ruins, as well as some strange creatures.
Every exploration was full of unknowns and dangers, but they never backed down.
During an exploration, they discovered a hidden cave that seemed to contain some powerful power.
"Let's go in and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.
Qingshuang nodded, and the two entered the cave cautiously.
Deep in the cave, they found an ancient altar with a crystal that glowed faintly.
"What is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.
Luochen stepped forward and observed the crystal carefully, "This seems to be a source of energy, which may help us better understand the Endless Youtaku."
Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen had a deep interest in these ancient things.
Luochen stretched out his hand and gently touched the crystal.
Suddenly, the crystal emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the two of them.
"What's going on?" Qingshuang exclaimed.
Luochen shook his head, feeling a powerful force pouring into his body.
This force seemed to be transforming his body, making him feel stronger than ever before.
"Qingshuang, I feel a kind of power..." Luo Chen's voice contained a hint of excitement.
Qingshuang looked at Luo Chen with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She could feel that the aura on Luo Chen's body was getting stronger and stronger.
"This power seems to help us better control the power." Luochen said.
Qingshuang nodded, knowing that this would undoubtedly be a huge help to their adventure.
The two stayed in the cave for a long time until Luochen completely absorbed the power in the crystal.
When they left the cave, they felt that their strength had improved significantly.
"Now, we are more confident in facing the challenge of Endless Netherworld." Luo Chen said.
Qingshuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Luochen, let's move on."
After the words fell, the two of them continued to go deeper into the interior of the Endless Youtan.
However, this time the two of them have not gone far apart.
Waves of terrifying vibrations appeared immediately.
All around, endless secluded stories exude bursts of strange light.
A monster beast that was as big as a hill, with a dark green body, and many tumor-like things growing on its body, some resembling toads, suddenly appeared in front of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
The appearance of the monster in front of them completely exceeded their expectations.
"This... what kind of monster is this?" Qing Shuang's voice was trembling.
Luo Chen held the sword in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "No matter what it is, we can't back down. Qingshuang, are you ready?"
Qingshuang took a deep breath and nodded, "Ready."
The monster seemed to sense their determination and let out a deafening roar that made the surrounding rock walls begin to tremble.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stabilized their bodies and prepared for the upcoming battle.
"Luochen, look at its skin, it seems to be very hard." Qingshuang reminded.
Luo Chen observed it and found that the monster's skin was covered with a thick layer of scales, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to cause damage.
"We have to find its weak point," he said.
The two of them were avoiding attacks from monsters while looking for opportunities.
Every attack from the monster beast carried huge destructive power, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had to deal with it carefully.
"Luochen, I have an idea." Qingshuang said suddenly.
"What do you think?" Luo Chen asked while avoiding the monster's claws.
"I remember it was mentioned in the ancient books of Tianji Pavilion that although this kind of monster has rough skin and thick flesh, its abdomen is relatively fragile. We can try to attack from below." Qingshuang explained.
A glimmer of light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, "Okay, let's give it a try. You attract its attention, and I'll find an opportunity to attack."
Qingshuang nodded. She took out a piece of talisman from her waist and injected her energy into it. The talisman instantly turned into a golden light and shot straight into the monster's eyes.
The monster beast was stung by the golden light, roared, and turned towards Qingshuang.
Luo Chen took the opportunity to get under the monster. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength on the tip of the sword, and then stabbed the monster in the abdomen.
The tip of the sword penetrated the monster's skin, and Luo Chen felt a resistance, but he did not give up and continued to exert force. Finally, the tip of the sword penetrated the monster's abdomen.
The monster let out a shrill howl and its body began to tremble.
Luo Chen knew that this was a critical moment. He turned the sword and pulled it sharply, and a huge wound was torn open in the monster's abdomen.
Upon seeing this, Qingshuang immediately joined the fight, and the two of them worked together to finally knock down the huge monster.
The monster fell to the ground, and its body gradually turned into a puddle of black water, leaving only a monster core emitting a faint light.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of exhaustion in each other's eyes, but more importantly, the joy of victory.
"It's done."
Luochen said.
Qingshuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Luochen, we have won again."
The two rested for a while and regained some strength.
Luo Chen picked up the demon core on the ground and observed it carefully. "This demon core contains powerful power. It may be helpful for our next journey."
Qingshuang nodded in agreement, "Let's move on. There are more secrets waiting for us to uncover in the depths of the Endless Netherworld."
Luo Chen put the demon core away, and the two of them went deep again, and the surrounding environment became more and more weird.
They passed through the dark forest, crossed the precipitous mountain peaks, and finally came to a barren plain.
On the plain, an ancient city stood in front of them. The walls of the city were covered with traces of time.
"This city..." Luo Chen murmured to himself, "Is this the legendary ancient city of Youtan?"
A trace of excitement flashed in Qingshuang's eyes, "If it is really the ancient city of Youtan, then there may be endless treasures and secrets hidden here."
The two walked into the ancient city cautiously. There was no one in the city, except for the sound of the wind whistling in their ears.
They walked through the streets and came to a magnificent palace.
The palace door was closed tightly, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang worked together to push the door open.
Behind the door is a glorious hall, with a huge sarcophagus in the center.
"Is there any powerful being lying in this sarcophagus?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice.
Luo Chen stepped forward and carefully observed the sarcophagus, "Let's be careful and don't act rashly."
Just as the two were preparing to explore further, the sarcophagus suddenly vibrated slightly.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately retreated and looked at the sarcophagus warily.
The lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved away, and a figure slowly stood up from the sarcophagus.
The figure was wearing ancient armor and holding a long sword. Although his face was blurry, he exuded a powerful aura.
However, his face is quite ferocious.
Especially the pair of blood-red eyes with a hint of cyan.
This made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang feel a little creepy.
"Hahaha, after so many years, someone is finally here!"
"I thought that I could only lie here for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect... There are actually immortal cultivators who can find this place and find me, and since that's the case..."
"Then, your body belongs to me."
"Boy, you should feel lucky!"
Luo Chen held the hilt of the sword tightly and stared firmly at the figure standing up from the sarcophagus.
Qingshuang quietly took out a piece of talisman paper from her waist, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.
"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice, trying to find clues from the other person's words.
The figure let out a deep laugh, as if laughing at Luo Chen's ignorance, "Who am I? Hahaha, you juniors, don't you even recognize me? I am a demon giant from more than three thousand years ago. The Thousand-faced Demon Cultivator is also your nightmare!”
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes.
The self-proclaimed Demonic Cultivator Thousand-faced Master in front of them was obviously not something they could easily deal with.
"The Thousand-faced Master of Demonic Cultivation?" Luo Chen repeated, trying to search for information about this name from his memory.
Qingshuang whispered to Luo Chen: "I have read in ancient books that the Thousand Faces Master was an extremely powerful demon cultivator three thousand years ago. It is said that he can change thousands of times and no one can see through his true identity. "
"Hahaha, yes, the little girl has some knowledge." There was a hint of approval in the voice of the Thousand Face Master, but it was more cold and cruel.
Luo Chen held the sword hilt tightly and said in a deep voice: "Since you were a person from three thousand years ago, why are you here?"
The Thousand Faces Master's laughter gradually stopped, and his blood-red and cyan eyes flashed with a strange light, "You don't need to know this, but since you are here, don't even think about leaving alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Thousand Face Master suddenly became blurry. The next moment, he appeared in front of Luo Chen, with the sword in his hand pointed directly at Luo Chen's throat.
Luo Chen reacted very quickly and dodged to avoid the fatal blow.
Qingshuang took the opportunity to throw out the talisman, which turned into a golden light and hit the Thousand-faced Master's back.
The Thousand-faced Master seemed to be dismissive of Qingshuang's attack. He swayed and easily dodged the golden light. At the same time, he forced Qingshuang back with a backhand sword.
"Your cultivation is far inferior to those immortal cultivators three thousand years ago." The Thousand Faces Master mocked.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's hearts sank. They knew that they had to be more careful in the face of such a strong enemy.
"Luo Chen, we have to join forces." Qing Shuang whispered.
Luo Chen nodded. He knew that only if the two of them worked together could they defeat the strong enemy in front of them.
"Okay, we attack from both sides and try to distract his attention." Luo Chen responded in a low voice.
The two of them took up their positions again. Luo Chen attacked from the left and Qing Shuang attacked from the right.
Although the Thousand Faces Master was powerful, he had to deal with the attack from the two seriously.
The battle lasted for a long time. Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were forced to retreat many times, they never gave up.
With each attack, they became more tacit and understood each other's fighting style better.
The Thousand Faces Master seemed to feel a little tired. His movements were no longer as swift as at the beginning, and his attacks were no longer as accurate.
"You youngsters are so annoying!" The Thousand Faces Master roared, and his body suddenly swelled and turned into a huge black shadow.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were stunned by this sudden change, but they reacted quickly and retreated at the same time to avoid the attack of the black shadow.
"Luo Chen, we can't let him continue like this. We must find his weakness as soon as possible." Qing Shuang said anxiously.
Luo Chen nodded. He knew that if they continued to consume like this, they would be defeated sooner or later.
"Qing Shuang, have you noticed that every time he attacks, there will be a pause for a moment?" Luo Chen suddenly said.
Qing Shuang was stunned, and then a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, "You mean, his power is not endless?"
"Yes, we may be able to use this." Luo Chen said in a deep voice.
The two attacked again, and this time, they paid more attention to every move of the Thousand Faces Master.
Sure enough, as Luo Chen expected, after each attack, the Thousand Faces Master would have a pause for a moment.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang seized this opportunity and launched continuous attacks, each time forcing the Thousand Faces Master to expend more energy to deal with it.
Finally, after one attack, the Thousand Faces Master paused for a little longer than before.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang seized this opportunity and launched the strongest attack at the same time.
Luo Chen's sword tip condensed all his true energy, turned into a dazzling light, and pierced the Thousand Faces Master's chest.
Qing Shuang threw out her last talisman paper, which turned into a huge golden light, completely covering the Thousand Faces Master.
The Thousand Faces Master let out a shrill scream, and his body began to collapse, turning into a ball of black mist, and finally dissipated into the air.
