Chapter 1152 Treasure Pavilion
"So that's how it is. Your true form is connected to the bone staff rune!" Luo Li's eyes were like torches, and all the power of chaos was poured into the Xuanyue Sword. "Xiao Liu, burn the rune with all your strength! Everyone, concentrate on attacking the bone staff! Kill it for me!"
Xiao Liu spewed out dragon flames again, which intertwined with Song Wanbai's flames, enveloping the demon shadow in a sea of fire.
Emperor Xuanming's spear pierced through the phantom, Feng Wuhen's phoenix shadow rushed straight to the bone staff, Lan Xiaoxiao's ice sword, Qianren's poisonous blade, Fu Yu's soft whip... also attacked the vital points of the bone staff.
The demonic shadow let out a shrill scream, the runes on the bone staff began to crack, and the surrounding phantoms became increasingly unstable.
He waved his bone staff wildly, and suddenly huge cracks appeared in the ground, from which countless skeleton soldiers emitting a foul smell crawled out.
These skeleton soldiers were agile, and the weapons in their hands emitted a strange green light, which turned into poisonous mist as soon as they came into contact with the crowd's attacks.
"Be careful, this poisonous fog will corrode the flesh!" Song Wanbai shouted while controlling the flames to resist the skeleton soldiers.
Luo Li frowned, and the power of chaos flowed on the sword, forming a protective barrier to isolate the poisonous fog outside.
She looked around and found that skeleton soldiers seemed to be pouring out from the cracks under the demon's feet. She immediately made a decision: "Seal the cracks first!"
Lan Xiaoxiao understood what he meant, and the Canghai Sword activated the laws of water in heaven and earth, condensing into a huge water barrier above the crack.
Di Xuanming and Feng Wuhen took the opportunity to launch their strongest attack. The golden spear light and the flaming phoenix bombarded the ice cover at the same time. The huge impact force forced the crack to close.
Without the support of the skeleton soldiers, the shadow demon became more and more embarrassed, and half of the runes on the bone staff were broken.
Luo Li immediately made a hand gesture with one hand, "Chaos Art: Shattered Void!"
With a scream, the demon shadow instantly turned into black gas and dissipated.
The third level of the trial was also passed at the same time. In a flash, everyone saw a palace that was as magnificent as the second level.
A crystal clear crystal ball is suspended in the center of the palace, with colorful light flowing on the surface of the sphere, and pictures can be vaguely seen flashing in it.
Before everyone could take a closer look, the crystal ball suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. After the light dissipated, the shadow of an old man in a white robe with a kind face slowly emerged.
"It's truly not easy for you all to pass the third level of the trial." The old man's voice was gentle, yet it carried a kind of authority that made one want to believe in him. "This demonic shadow has caused trouble, destroying the third level beyond recognition. I never thought you could find its weakness and defeat it in one fell swoop."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
Taixu Ancient Dragon howled, "Old Bai! I missed you so much!"
The old man's remaining consciousness was startled, "Hey, Xiao Huihui, you are still alive?"
The Taixu Ancient Dragon flew angrily in front of the old man's shadow, its tail swinging in the air: "What little gray! I am the Taixu Ancient Dragon, a majestic ancient beast! If you call me that again, believe it or not..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man flicked his head lightly, and he instantly wilted.
The old man smiled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "I am a remnant of the guardian of Lord Cangwu's palace. The original purpose of the third level of the formation trial was to test your state of mind, but I didn't expect the demonic shadow to take advantage of it. However, your ability to adapt to the situation has not deviated from the original intention of the trial."
He raised his hand and pointed, the crystal ball shone brightly, and pictures unfolded before everyone's eyes.
In the picture, the scenes of their battle with the evil shadow were reproduced one by one, but the perspectives came from all directions.
"This crystal ball, called the Universal Mirror, can reflect the past and predict the future. It is a supreme treasure crafted by Lord Cangwu himself."
He pointed at the Xuan Yue Sword in Luo Li's hand and said, "In terms of preciousness, it is on par with the Xuan Yue Sword."
Luo Li's eyes moved slightly, and she tightened her grip on the Xuan Yue Sword in her hand. She could feel the powerful aura emanating from the Wanxiang Mirror, which was indeed not to be underestimated.
Lan Xiaoxiao came closer and stared at the crystal ball curiously. "Since this Universal Mirror can predict the future, why not show us what the next trial will be like?"
The old man's shadow smiled kindly upon hearing this. "Little girl, how can you casually pry into the future? If you knew it in advance, it would defeat the purpose of the trial. However, I can use the Universal Mirror to review this battle for you to see if there are any omissions."
As soon as the words fell, the picture in the crystal ball suddenly changed, focusing on the critical moment when everyone was fighting with the demon shadow.
Everyone stared at the screen intently, and saw that several subtle changes in the Demon Shadow's gestures during the battle were magnified.
Song Wanbai stared at the screen, frowning. "These gestures seem to be secretly mobilizing some kind of power. I didn't notice it during the previous battle!"
Feng Wuhen's eyes shone. "It seems this demonic shadow is even more difficult to deal with than we thought. If we hadn't found the weakness of the bone staff, we would have been entangled by it for a long time."
The scene continued to flow, and suddenly froze at the scene where the Ji family, Mu family and other forces were hiding in the back.
Qian Ren snorted coldly, "What a bunch of cowards! At this critical moment, they only care about preserving their strength!"
Fu Yu also shook his head slightly, looking dissatisfied.
The old man's shadow sighed softly, "People's minds are complicated, and everyone has their own plans. However, it is truly rare that you can work together to defeat the Demon Shadow."
Luo Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, besides reflecting the past and predicting the future, does this Universal Mirror have other uses?"
The old man's shadow gave her an approving look. "Not bad, you know how to draw inferences from one instance. The Universal Mirror can also see into people's hearts, reflecting their truest thoughts. But this ability should not be used lightly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, the human heart is complex and unpredictable. There is no such thing as an absolutely good person. People always have selfish motives."
He blinked, "But it's a good thing to test for moles."
He looked meaningfully at the many traitors in the Demon God Temple among the crowd.
As he was speaking, ripples suddenly appeared around the palace and the space began to distort.
The old man's expression grew serious. "It seems the next level of the trial is about to begin. Although the Myriad Mirror is precious, I cannot give it to you. However, I can temporarily lend it to my friend Luo Li."
However, as a reward for passing the third level trial, except for those just mentioned, each of you can choose a treasure in this palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, rows of treasure pavilions slowly emerged on the walls of the palace. Inside, lights flickered, and all kinds of rare treasures exuded an alluring scent.
Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed over impatiently, "Let me take a look first! Maybe I can find a treasure suitable for the Canghai Sword!"
Luo Li looked at the excited Lan Xiaoxiao, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. Then she walked towards the treasure pavilion with everyone.
Everyone was selecting treasures in the palace. The treasure pavilion was filled with a dazzling array of treasures, and the light emitted by the rare and precious treasures shone brightly.
