Chapter 255: Chapter 223: The Power of the Heavenly Saint
Seeing the flying knife trembling slightly, tearing the void apart with rifts in space, and scaring countless demon beasts swarming over the chessboard into a frenzied retreat, many people exclaimed in awe.
The divine power displayed by the flying knife definitely surpassed the combat strength of any Treasure Instrument they knew; it very likely was a Sacred Artifact!
A Sacred Artifact!
That was a legendary item of the Heavenly Saint Level, and among the major sects of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, only the Cloud Sky Sect had ever had a Heavenly Saint, who might have possessed a Sacred Artifact.
And Yun Luo was precisely from the Cloud Sky Sect!
It was very likely that this flying knife was indeed a Sacred Artifact!
Hearing the exclamation of the crowd, Yun Luo nodded, "Indeed, this is a Sacred Artifact."
"My master told me to use this treasure at the most crucial moment, and now, that time has come!"
There were several instances when a few Half-Step Rotating Pill elders from Cloud Sky Sect who knew of Yun Luo\'s Sacred Artifact, asked her to use it.
When demon beasts ravaged the outer islands, when searching for treasures in the endless secret tunnels of Azure Blue Lake...
But at those times, Yun Luo did not employ it.
Now, however, Yun Luo had no choice but to use this trump card; if they did not exit the black and white chessboard promptly to see how Ye Chen was faring under the dark aura of Tiger Demon Teng, and with more of them risking death due to various traps and killing mechanisms in the ancient tomb, it was very likely they would all be annihilated in the end.
At this moment, Yun Luo certainly dared not hold back any longer.
When Fairy Nishang herself was not confident about breaking through the chessboard contraption, Yun Luo immediately stepped forward.
Hearing Yun Luo confirm the flying knife was truly a Sacred Artifact, ecstasy spread across everyone\'s faces.
No one had expected that Yun Luo of the Cloud Sky Sect would actually bring a Sacred Artifact into the ancient tomb.
If there really was a Sacred Artifact, then breaking the second deadly arrangement "The Black and White Chessboard" might indeed be possible!
Moreover, possessing a Sacred Artifact in the eerie and unpredictable ancient tomb of the demon sect increased their chances of survival!
For a moment, all eyes were on Yun Luo.
Then, Yun Luo said to Fairy Nishang, "Fairy, you attack the forbidden area of this chessboard first to guide the direction for the flying knife, and then, I will use the flying knife to completely break the prohibitions of this chessboard."
"Okay!" Fairy Nishang nodded without hesitation.
Next, she aggressively lifted the fiery-red colossal bow in one hand; with the other, she bent the bow to notch an arrow. When the bowstring was taut, Fairy Nishang aimed at a direction above the black and white chessboard, released her hand, and the golden feathered arrow on the bowstring shot out like lightning towards that point.
Boom!
Fairy Nishang, with hundreds of years of cultivation at the Half-Step Rotating Pill level, had strength incredibly close to that of a Rotating Pill level, and her archery was unimaginably powerful.
With this shot, the golden feathered arrow instantly pierced through the void, the arrow\'s speed and explosive force were feared strong enough to easily kill a Half-Step Rotating Pill!
When the overwhelmingly powerful golden feathered arrow shot towards the sky, it flew hundreds of meters high without losing speed. Fairy Nishang\'s expression changed, and she lightly plucked at the bowstring, causing the arrow shot into the sky to explode back toward her.
"Not this place."
Fairy Nishang\'s hands kept moving; after retrieving the previously shot arrow, she swiftly pulled out three more feathered arrows, drew the bowstring, and shot all three arrows at once.
One bow, three arrows!
And the power of these three arrows was not at all less formidable than the first one!
While everyone was amazed at Fairy Nishang\'s strong archery, two of the three closely flying arrows missed, but the middle one did not fly as far as the others; it was as if it had struck something. There was a loud explosion at the point of the arrowhead, followed by the release of waves of bizarre magic patterns rippling out from the spot it touched.
Seeing the emergence of these bizarre magic patterns, all the tomb explorers below shouted in excitement.
Clearly, the strange runes that had suddenly appeared in the sky were the space restriction of the black and white chessboard that Fairy Nishang had finally managed to probe!
Just when Fairy Nishang had figured out where this space restriction was, Yun Luo finally made his move!
Whoosh!
With a flip of his hand, a green talisman appeared in his palm.
Yun Luo pinched the green talisman between his fingers, and then, without any wind, it spontaneously ignited, burning fiercely!
As the green talisman blazed, endless green smoke connected it directly to Yun Luo and the hovering flying dagger in front of him.
At that moment, Yun Luo\'s eyes suddenly shot a glance at the space restriction, pointed his two fingers towards it, and the Sacred Artifact flying dagger "swooshed" and disappeared from in front of him.
The next moment, the flying dagger appeared right in front of the restriction.
Then, the flying dagger, radiating with bright cyan light, crazily slashed towards the restriction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unlike Fairy Nishang\'s arrows which were blocked earlier, the flying dagger seemed to tear through the void, directly piercing through the space restriction that radiated wave after wave, revealing a large expanse of space outside.
And the space outside was none other than the Azure Blue Lake, beyond the black and white chessboard!
"It\'s broken, the restriction is broken!"
The Tomb Explorers trapped in the second killing formation "The Black and White Chessboard" screamed ecstatically as they smelled the lake water from the Azure Blue Lake outside.
"Let\'s go out!"
At this point, Yun Luo pointed a finger, and the flying dagger in the void shot back towards him. Without any hesitation, he directly flew out through the broken space of the restriction.
"We should go too!"
Following Yun Luo, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and the other Tomb Explorers also flew out. Hiding among the crowd, the disciple of the demon sect, Xue Yue, glanced at the broken black and white killing formation, then at Yun Luo who flew out first and the light shadow of his flying dagger, narrowed his eyes, and followed them out of the chessboard.
After everyone flew out of the chessboard, they found themselves above the Azure Blue Lake, where the space was vast and empty, with no sign of Ye Chen and Tiger Demon Teng.
Then, they heard earth-shattering battle noises coming from the distance.
Looking towards the source of the noise, everyone\'s eyes widened in shock. They saw Ye Chen, who had been trapped in Tiger Demon Teng\'s dark energy when they entered the chessboard, appearing not far away, and his opponent was none other than Tiger Demon Teng himself!
To their astonishment, Ye Chen, who was clearly weaker than Tiger Demon Teng previously, was now completely dominating the battle. The immensely powerful Tiger Demon Teng kept retreating under Ye Chen\'s onslaught.
If it weren\'t for the object in Tiger Demon Teng\'s hand which seemed like a Treasure Instrument continuously defending against Ye Chen\'s attacks, Tiger Demon Teng would have likely been defeated already!
Even so, Tiger Demon Teng was clearly at a disadvantage!
"What happened?"
Fairy Nishang, Yun Luo, and the others exchanged bewildered looks.
They had only been trapped in the black and white chessboard for a short while before they broke out thanks to the Sacred Artifact flying dagger.
In just this brief period of time, the dynamics of Ye Chen\'s and Tiger Demon Teng\'s battle had completely flipped, with Ye Chen now thoroughly overpowering Tiger Demon Teng.
It astonished everyone.
"No, it\'s the power of a Heavenly Saint!"
At that moment, Yun Luo, who had been intently observing the strange golden light on Ye Chen, suddenly had his pupils shrink. He actually felt the same power from the strange golden light surrounding Ye Chen as the one from his controlled Sacred Artifact flying dagger.
In just a short time, Ye Chen had actually obtained the power of a Heavenly Saint!
This utterly shocked Yun Luo, leaving him in disbelief!
