Chapter 1444: Appearance of the Pure Maiden
Translator: Legge
Two furtive figures were stealthily hiding in a dark corner in the Heaven Expanding Mountain Range, watching everything unfold before Enigma Palace.
The two figures were Shi Jian and Little Fatty who had rushed thousands of miles to look for the tomb.
“What’s the background of this Exquisite Killing Formation? It seems like it’s quite powerful,”
Shi Jian muttered.
“More than that, this is the number one killing formation of the ancient era!”
Little Fatty said, “This formation was set up by Fairy Ling Long personally. Who in the world can dispel it?”
“Brother Su is well-versed in formations. If he’s here, he should be able to dispel this formation,” Shi Jian said deeply.
“Hehe!”
Little Fatty laughed. “Although I respect bro, he truly can’t dispel the Exquisite Killing Formation. Even the number one master of formations in Tianhuang Mainland won’t be able to dispel it, let alone bro!”
“What do you mean? There’s no hope for anybody that falls into the formation?”
Shi Jian’s eyes widened.
Little Fatty nodded. “As long as you take a wrong step in this Exquisite Killing Formation, the attacks you receive will increase endlessly and become more ferocious.”
“Initially, there might be some powers of the Conjoint Body realm. Later on, there will be powers of the Half-Martial Ancestor realm and even divine powers!”
“What?!”
Shi Jian muttered.
The power of divine powers was the power of an Ancestor realm cultivator!
Little Fatty said, “Don’t doubt me. There were many Mahayana Patriarchs who died in this formation in the ancient war!”
“I heard that back then, Fairy Ling Long controlled this killing formation personally and even killed an Emperor!”
“So amazing?”
Shi Jian was shocked.
“What do you think?”
Little Fatty said, “Fairy Ling Long did not become an Emperor but she established Enigma Palace and was renowned through the ages. Do you really think it’s just because she’s the wife of the Human Emperor?”
Shi Jian asked, “Doesn’t that mean that the Asura is dead for sure?”
“You can’t say that either,”
Little Fatty said, “If Fairy Ling Long descends, there might be hope for the Asura.”
“Tsk!”
Shi Jian pouted his lips.
“Why isn’t Lin Xuanji out yet?”
Little Fatty frowned slightly and rubbed his chubby palms anxiously.
Shi Jian replied, “What’s the hurry? I reckon it’s inconvenient for him to come out now that the Asura is here at Enigma Palace.”
“Now’s the best time,”
Little Fatty said, “The attention of everyone from Enigma Palace is on the Asura. Let’s dig up the tomb and take away the treasures inside.”
“There are so many experts in Enigma Palace. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t notice anything after the Asura dies. It’ll be difficult to make a move then.”
“What do you mean?” Shi Jian asked.
Little Fatty said darkly, “Let’s not wait for Lin Xuanji. That old fogey is unreliable and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Let’s not bother about him since the treasure map is in our hands.”
“That works too,”
Shi Jian hesitated for a moment. “However, why do I feel that something is amiss? There’s something strange about this.”
“What’s wrong? You love to think too much, stupid head.”
Little Fatty pouted. “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be the first to pick out the treasures we discover this time round!”
“Alright!”
Shi Jian had no more doubts and nodded. “Let’s begin!”
…
In front of Enigma Palace.
Yan Beichen had already fallen completely into the Exquisite Killing Formation!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He wielded the Hatred Fiend Saber and channeled both fiend sutras to their limits. Layers of fiend qi covered the skies and blocked the attacks time and again!
However, he could no longer walk.
The attacks of the Exquisite Killing Formation turned increasingly ferocious.
However, he could not find any way to dispel it!
“Heavenly Secrets! Heavenly Secrets, get out!”
Yan Beichen roared loudly like an injured demon beast. His eyes were pitch-black and the hatred in his heart was at its limits!
In truth, if not for the support of that torrential hatred, he would have been minced to death by the Exquisite Killing Formation as well!
Enigma Palace.
Heavenly Secrets and the others looked down from above with mocking expressions.
“There’s no wonder why the Asura is a monster incarnate of the fiend sects. If I’m not wrong, he has already taken 209 steps in the Exquisite Killing Formation!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Li Heng sighed gently. “Even if we fall into it, we’ll die before we can take a hundred steps.”
“That’s useless though,”
Heavenly Secrets smiled gently. “The further he progresses, the more difficult it will become. The pressure on him doubles with every step he takes!”
“Unless Fiend Emperor Hatred is reborn, the Asura will definitely die in less than half an hour!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove said coldly.
“Hehe, what a crowd!”
Right then, a chuckle sounded from midair in a pleasant manner.
When the experts of Enigma Palace heard that laughter, their hearts skipped a beat and they could not help but want to see what sort of a peerless beauty the owner of that voice was!
Even Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and the others frowned.
Even Half-Martial Ancestors were affected!
Everyone turned towards the sound.
In the void not far away, a girl in pink stood in midair. She had a graceful figure and a flawless face. A single smile from her was enough to dim the world!
His watery eyes seemed like they could steal one’s soul with a single glance!
Broop! Broop!
Gulps could be heard from Enigma Palace.
More than half of the Conjoint Body Mighty Figures of Enigma Palace revealed infatuated expressions and fixed their gazes on the girl in pink—they could not take their eyes off her at all!
Although the remaining Conjoint Body Mighty Figures realized something, they struggled to defend.
Many Mighty Figures shuddered and lowered their gazes, not daring to look at the girl in pink!
The girl in pink was this generation’s Pure Maiden, Demoness Ji!
After Demoness Ji obtained the complete Pure Maiden Sutra and advanced to the Conjoint Body realm, her bewitching techniques were completely infused into her bones.
She did not even have to activate it intentionally.
Every single frown, smile and action of hers could cause one to bow down to her!
At that moment, some of the Mighty Figures of Enigma Palace lost their minds and walked towards Demoness Ji in a daze, completely losing their minds!
“Humph!”
Harrumphing coldly, Heavenly Secrets suddenly opened his mouth and said word by word, “Pure Maiden, you sure are capable!”
Among the many Conjoint Body Mighty Figures, Heavenly Secrets was the only one who could maintain his composure.
Every single word he said used a sound domain secret skill and echoed in the minds of the Mighty Figures of Enigma Palace like a hammer.
Many Mighty Figures of Enigma Palace woke up with ugly expressions.
The more they thought about it, the scarier it was!
If not for Heavenly Secrets’s reminder, they would have been bewitched and controlled by Demoness Ji by now!
Even if she wanted them to commit suicide on the spot, they wouldn’t hesitate!
“What is this generation’s Pure Maiden doing at Enigma Palace?”
Heavenly Secrets asked indifferently with a smile.
“Hehe, I want to take someone away,”
Demoness Ji smiled brightly in an innocent manner.
She did not seem to possess the slightest bit of scheming and conniving in the cultivation world.
The smile of this young girl could cause an inexplicable sense of bliss in someone’s heart such that they would want to protect her.
