Chapter 279 Chi You’s Blood and the Underground Demonic Palace!

Chapter 279 Chi You’s Blood and the Underground Demonic Palace!

Wutu knelt on the ground, with strange totem patterns on his bronze skin: "Reporting to the master, the underground world is divided into nine layers, each guarded by a great witch. The deepest layer is dedicated to the bronze heart of the ancestor god Chiyou."

Before he finished his words, blood-red thunder suddenly struck from the sky.

Qin Shuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he raised his hand to take Wutu into the Temple of War God. The thunder flattened the mountains within a hundred miles.

"It seems that there is something hidden underground that even the Heavenly Dao is afraid of." Qin Shuang stared at the bottomless crack, and a chaotic aura emanated from his body.

He raised his foot and stepped into the crack, and his spiritual consciousness surged into the ground like a tide.

After passing through the three thousand feet of rock layer, the view in front of us suddenly opens up.

Under the dark red sky, nine bronze altars were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. Each altar was tied with a black iron chain, and the end of the chain was immersed in the central blood pool.

Half of a bronze statue was floating in the pool, it was Chi You's fighting body!
"Who trespassed into the ancestral land of Jiuli?"

Hoarse voices came from all directions, and seven old men wearing animal bone armor walked out of the shadows. They had vertical pupils on their foreheads, and a murderous aura visible to the naked eye surrounded them.

Qin Shuang glanced at the inscriptions on the altar and suddenly laughed, "You witches are so bold to trap Chi You's blood with the Seven Evil Soul Locking Formation."

The pupils of the leading wizard shrank, and he slammed his Nine Li Bone Staff to the ground. "Outsiders? You came just in time!"

Seven people formed seals at the same time, and the blood pool boiled into huge waves. The half-bronze statue actually slowly opened its eyes!

Qin Shuang did not retreat but advanced, and the shadow of the Temple of War God appeared behind him.

At this moment, the Heshi Bi on his body suddenly emerged, emitting a dragon roar, and a resonance came from the depths of the blood pool - it was actually a fragment of the imperial seal engraved with "Mandate from Heaven"!

"boom--!"

The moment the blood pool surged, a brilliant star map lit up around Qin Shuang. Nine bronze chains rushed out from the shadow of the War God Temple and entangled with the black iron chains on the altar. The sound of metal clashing came from the depths of the earth veins, and the whole space began to tremble violently.

"You can actually control the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu?" The vertical pupils of the Great Witch Chieftain oozed black blood, and the bone staff in his hand suddenly exploded into a sky full of phosphorous fire.

"Form a formation! Never let anyone from outside the universe touch the blood of the ancestor god!"

The seven great wizards tore open their chests at the same time, and seven black hearts floated in the air.

The single eye of the bronze statue suddenly emitted a red light, and the fragment of the jade seal in Qin Shuang's arms suddenly became hot - he saw an illusion: on an ancient battlefield, twelve golden men were sharing and eating Chi You's corpse, and the face of one of the golden men was seven points similar to his own!

"I see."

Qin Shuang suddenly laughed loudly and let the red light penetrate his body. The stars in the sky appeared on the dome of the Temple of War. The sealed Wutu suddenly let out a painful roar, and the same totem as the bronze statue appeared on the surface of his skin.

The sound of chains breaking was heard at the bottom of the blood pool, and twelve golden lights broke out from the ground.

First, a ray of golden light sank into Qin Shuang's brow, and his left eye instantly turned into a vertical pupil, while his right eye lit up with bright stars.

The seven great wizards vomited blood and flew backwards, looking at the bronze battle pattern that appeared on Qin Shuang's forehead in horror.

"You...you are..." Before the Great Witch leader finished speaking, the entire underground palace suddenly fell into absolute darkness. In Qin Shuang's sea of ​​consciousness, the bronze heart suspended at the core of the War God Temple began to beat, making a thumping sound with every beat.

When the light reappeared, the blood pool had dried up. Qin Shuang held half of the jade seal in his hand, and on the back of it were four ancient seal characters "久寿永昌". Seven withered bones lay at his feet, and the vertical pupils of those great witches had all disappeared.

"Owner!"

Wutu suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, banging his forehead heavily on the ground. "The Jiuli tribe is willing to accept you as the new leader of the army!"

Qin Shuang stroked the burning battle pattern between his eyebrows, and his spiritual sense swept across the huge bronze door deep in the underground palace - a ray of breath seeping out from the crack of the door was exactly the same as the fluctuations of the forbidden area of ​​Huangfeng Valley in the world of Mortal Cultivation.

Qin Shuang's robe rustled in the surging waves of the blood pool.

The rock beneath his feet cracked into spider-web-like patterns, and nine bronze chains snaked out from the shadow of the War God Temple. When they entangled with the black iron chains on the altar, they actually let out a roar like a prehistoric beast.

"King Yu governs the nine states, the nine tripods lock the eight wastelands - you actually inherited Xia Yu's legacy!" The vertical pupils of the Great Witch Leader suddenly burst, black blood flowed along the wrinkles, and his withered fingers crushed the skull embedded on the top of the bone staff. "Seven Evil Soul Devouring Formation!"

The pitch-black hearts suspended in the chests of the seven great wizards suddenly contracted, spurting out liquid as sticky as asphalt.

The red light of the bronze giant's single eye surged, and the fragment of the jade seal in Qin Shuang's arms suddenly flew into the air, casting a bloody illusion in front of him. Twelve golden men a hundred feet tall stood on the sea of ​​corpses and blood, their mouths and noses spewing sulfur, biting a huge body with wings on its back and a bull's head and a human body.

When the last golden man turned his head, Qin Shuang saw the gilded face - high brow bones, sword-like nose, it was exactly the face of his previous life!
"I should have thought of this earlier." Qin Shuang let the red light pierce through his chest, but no blood flowed out of the wound. Instead, fine golden scales appeared.

The constellations on the dome of the Temple of War suddenly rotated in the reverse direction. Wutu, who was trapped in the side hall, let out a sharp wail. His bronze skin cracked inch by inch, revealing a totem with magma flowing underneath - it was the Jiuli war pattern that was exactly the same as the bronze colossus!

"Crack!"

There was a loud sound of chains breaking at the bottom of the blood pool, and twelve golden lights broke out of the ground with a bloody wind.

The moment the first golden light sank into Qin Shuang's brow, his left pupil stood up like a snake, while his right eye lit up with the wonder of stars disappearing and reborn. The seven great witches covered their foreheads at the same time, and their vertical pupils were gouged out by the invisible force, turning into seven blood-colored crystals floating in Qin Shuang's palm.

"The Sky-Seeing Pupil of the Wuxian lineage is a good material for refining puppets."

Qin Shuang gently twisted the crystal stone, which reflected fragments of the memories of the seven great witches before their deaths - he saw a hundred thousand bronze-armored soldiers kneeling in the deepest part of the underground palace, saw the Jiuli tribe worshiping at the giant bronze door under the starry sky, and even saw a wisp of purple air seeping out from the crack of the door, entwining the moonlight of the forbidden area of ​​Huangfeng Valley!

"Boom!" The bronze heart at the core of the Temple of War suddenly beat violently, and every beat shattered the rock formations within a hundred miles radius.

The bronze battle pattern on Qin Shuang's forehead spread to his whole body. When he raised his hand and clenched it, half of the jade seal rose from the dried blood pool. When the four characters "Longevity and Prosperity" on the back of the jade seal lit up, the entire underground palace began to collapse, and the bronze pillars engraved with witchcraft spells burst one after another, revealing the bones sealed inside.

"Master!" Wutu prostrated himself on the ground, his forehead creating a deep pit. The totem on his back was burning, and each flame turned into the shadow of Chiyou's battle flag. "Eight hundred thousand fighting spirits of Jiuli are willing to lead the charge for the Lord of Arms!"

Qin Shuang ignored Wutu who was kneeling, his spiritual sense penetrated through layers of earth veins.

At the deepest part of the nine-story underground palace, a thousand-foot-high bronze gate stood tall, and the purple air seeping out of the cracks in the gate condensed into a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws. When his consciousness touched the Taotie pattern on the door, a bell suddenly rang in his ears - it was the "Soul-Destroying Bell" that would ring every full-moon night in the forbidden area of ​​Huangfeng Valley!
"interesting."

Qin Shuang flicked his fingers on the fragments of the jade seal, and with a crisp buzzing sound, twelve golden lights condensed into phantoms behind him. These phantoms were wearing black armor, holding huge axes, and their faces were hidden under bronze masks, with only blue flames dancing in their pupils.

The corpse of the Great Witch Leader suddenly twitched, and two white bone centipedes crawled out of his empty eye sockets: "The Lord of Arms has appeared, and the Nine Li will prosper. But do you know what is sealed behind this door?"

The centipede spoke in human language, and the sound was like sandpaper rubbing against iron. "The right arm of Chi You that was cut off by Emperor Xuanyuan is waiting behind the door to drink the blood of Emperor Xuanyuan."

Before he finished speaking, the golden figure behind Qin Shuang suddenly swung his axe.

The moment the axe blade split the space, the two centipedes and the corpse of the great witch turned into ashes. Wutu trembled all over, and the totem on his back had spread to his neck, and at this moment, a dense star map was emerging.

"Send a message to the various tribes of Jiuli."

Qin Shuang stroked the lines on the huge bronze door, and every groove touched by his fingertips was oozing blood. "Three months later, follow me to break through this door. As for you..."

He turned to look at Wutu's burning totem. "Go and collect the scattered parts of the twelve golden men, especially the 'Heart of the Ancestral Dragon' stored in the earth veins of the Afang Palace of the Qin Dynasty."

The Taotie pattern on the huge bronze door suddenly came alive, and its fangs opened and closed, swallowing all the blood that oozed from Qin Shuang's fingertips. The purple air that overflowed from the crack in the door suddenly condensed into substance, turning into a tentacle covered with barbs that wrapped around Qin Shuang's neck, but it ignited a green flame the moment it touched the bronze battle pattern.

"You are just a chopped-off stump, yet you dare to bite your master?" Qin Shuang sneered, and the twelve golden figures behind him raised their giant axes at the same time. Before the axe blades fell, a deafening roar came from the bronze door, and the shock wave caused by the sound waves tore a hundred-foot crack in the dome of the underground palace, and the rubble poured down like a rainstorm.

The star map totem on Wutu's back suddenly broke away from his skin, unfolding a vast galaxy in the void.

Three of the stars were particularly bright, echoing the three animal head reliefs in the recessed area of ​​the bronze gate. "Master, this is the star map engraved by the ancestors of Jiuli!"

He pointed to the star trail with a trembling voice. "When the three stars of Tan Lang, Po Jun and Qi Sha are in a row, the seal of the bronze door will weaken for three breaths."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Shuang suddenly grabbed Wutu's head. The burning star map flowed into the War God Temple through his palm, leaving burn marks on the surface of the bronze heart.

The originally silent heart suddenly burst into a roar like a drum, and countless bronze fragments floated up from the shattered rock layers - each piece was engraved with the same Taoist patterns as the Twelve Golden Men!

"I see."

Qin Shuang's fingers slashed through the air like a sword, and the bronze fragments gathered into a three-meter square tripod like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. The moment the inscription on the tripod lit up, a dragon roar came from the depths of the earth, and nine dark golden chains broke out of the ground, with nine huge hearts still beating at the end!
The remaining centipede ashes of the Great Witch Leader suddenly gathered into a human shape, and his voice was filled with madness. "You actually used the Yuwang Ding to awaken the dragon heart of the earth vein! Do you know that these nine dragon hearts are connected to the dragon veins of Tianqin Jiuzhou? If one of them is damaged..."

"Noisy." Qin Shuang raised his hand and made a fist, and the suspended Yuwang Ding turned upside down, sucking all the centipede ashes into the Ding. A teeth-grinding chewing sound suddenly rang out from the Ding, and dense spells appeared on the Ding body. It turned out to be the "Demon Suppression Scroll" that Xia Yu used when he sealed Xiang Liu!
The huge bronze door suddenly shook violently, and the tentacles that stretched out from the gap in the door slapped the ground frantically.

The battle pattern on Qin Shuang's forehead was as bright as the sun, and the twelve golden figures began to devour the blood of the dragon heart. As the dragon heart gradually shrank, the golden figures became more solid, and dark golden blood oozed from the cracks in the black armor, drawing ancient sacrificial texts on the bronze ground.

"Use the dragon veins of Kyushu as a sacrifice to call back the fighting spirit of the main soldiers." Wutu prostrated himself on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground covered with sacrificial texts. "So this is the real awakening ceremony!"

When the ninth dragon heart completely withered, the huge bronze door burst open.

The monstrous demonic energy gushed out, but turned into a gentle purple mist when it touched Qin Shuang's body. The sound of iron chains dragging came from the door, and a giant arm covered with bronze scales slowly stretched out, and the pattern on the palm of the hand was exactly the same as the battle pattern on Qin Shuang's palm!
"Chiyou's right arm?" Qin Shuang suddenly laughed loudly, and the shadow of the War God Temple completely solidified behind him. "It's just my old body stored here!"

He took a step forward, and his entire right arm suddenly exploded. The broken bones and flesh reassembled in the air and merged perfectly with the giant bronze arm.

The star map behind Wutu suddenly went out, replaced by a bloody territory map - it was the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces of Tianqin! In the northwest desert, a dark golden light spot was beating, resonating with Qin Shuang's new bronze right arm.

"Three months later, I want to see the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon."

Qin Shuang waved his right arm gently, and the Qilian Mountains thousands of miles away collapsed, revealing a bronze altar buried deep underground. "Tell the Jiuli tribes that it's time to take back the glory that was taken away by old Xuanyuan."

Amid the roar of the underground palace's collapse, no one noticed a wisp of purple air entering the Yuwang Ding. The remaining centipede ashes in the Ding quietly condensed into an eyeball shape, and the depths of the pupils reflected the depths of the Xianyang Palace - twelve headless golden men were slowly waking up in the earth veins.
The moment the bronze giant arm merged with Qin Shuang's body, a dragon roar shook the sky from the depths of the Qilian Mountains. Twelve headless golden men broke out of the ground, and the Chiyou totem appeared on the surface of the dark gold armor, which resonated and vibrated with the pattern on Qin Shuang's right arm.

"This is the real Twelve Capitals of Gods and Demons Formation!" Qin Shuang held his right arm in the air, and the golden man swung his giant axe at the same time a thousand miles away. Nine dragon veins of energy gushed out from the Yuwang Ding, interweaving into a blood-red battle flag in the sky - it was the "Chiyou Flag" that the ancient military lord used to conquer the four directions!
The star map behind Wutu suddenly exploded, turning into a stream of light and sinking into the War God Temple. The surface of the bronze heart showed the topography of the Nine Provinces, with eight of them lit up with scarlet marks. "Master, these are the dragon-locking piles that Emperor Xuanyuan used to suppress the Nine Li."

"break!"

Qin Shuang grabbed in the air with his right arm, and the land of Qingzhou suddenly collapsed. The bronze piles buried thousands of feet underground were pulled out, and the black iron chains wrapped around them broke apart, turning into molten iron to be cast into the Jiuli armor.

Seven days later.

The northern border of Tianqin.

Eight hundred thousand Jiuli fighting spirits lined up outside the pass, and Wutu was surrounded by bloody murderous aura. "Master, eight of the dragon-locking piles in each state have been broken, except for the old site of Xianyang." His voice stopped abruptly, and his pupils reflected the bloody vortex in the sky - twelve golden men stepped through the void and came, with the giant axes in their hands dripping with the blood of the elders of the Yin-Yang family.

"Chi You's heart is indeed under the Afang Palace!"

Qin Shuang stepped on the golden man's shoulder armor and looked down at the pass. The scales on his right arm suddenly stood up. At this moment, he smelled the familiar fluctuations coming from the depths of the earth veins. It was the breath of the First Emperor who shared his bloodline with him. (End of this chapter)
