Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 220 Half of the Devouring Demon Jar
Duan De's face turned even uglier. How could he not see by now that this guy was deliberately setting him up?

Although it is said that sacrificing a summoning weapon will allow you to leave, how could a summoning weapon be so easy to obtain?
Even with Duan De's collection, it's unrealistic to expect him to produce a large number of spirit weapons all at once.

When he took out the third one, Duan De was already gritting his teeth.

In reality, by this point, the constraints of the formation had lessened considerably, but breaking through it was still not so easy.

However, Duan De didn't want to continue making sacrifices, so he continued to work hard, hoping to break free of the formation's constraints through his own efforts!
"Xiao Duan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you should admit defeat when you should. You're not a teenager anymore. Do you really expect a moment of passion to make your strength improve by leaps and bounds?" Black Emperor said with a smile from the side, clearly gloating.

"I refuse to believe it! It's just a formation, and so much time has passed. How could it possibly trap me?" Duan De refused to back down!
Three spirit weapons were already the limit he was willing to give up. If he had to continue giving up, he would rather fight with all his might, even if it cost him half his life!

Inside the formation, he carefully took out something that looked like the lid of a ceramic jar, and then muttered some incantations. The next moment, the lid emitted a faint black light.

The light seemed capable of devouring everything around it; even the formation from before dissolved at an extremely rapid pace upon contact with the black light.

Upon seeing this, the Black Emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes.

“Something related to the Great Emperor!” the Black Emperor muttered to himself.

It has to be said that even a dog, having followed the Emperor for so long, would become a dog with a very broad perspective.

Take Black King, for example!
With just one glance, he could tell that the lid in Duan De's hand was related to the Great Emperor.

"Ahem, Duan, seeing how hard you're trying to get out, I'll give you a hint. That lid in your hand is quite good. If you're willing to sacrifice it, you can definitely break through the array and get out immediately." The Black Emperor said with a smile, but his gaze remained fixed on the lid in Duan De's hand.

Duan De's face was icy cold. He glared at the Black Emperor and continued to hold the lid, releasing black light to corrode everything around him.

The power of the formation weakened quickly, and Duan De struggled to break free, finally breaking free of the formation's restraints.

At first, he was reluctant to reveal that he possessed the lid, but seeing that he had already sacrificed three spirit weapons, he would be trapped inside if he didn't sacrifice any more.

However, if a sacrifice is made, it would come at the cost of multiple summoned weapons. Although Duan De has so many summoned weapons, it doesn't mean he can just throw out four of them at will.

If he had known he would have to pay such a high price to get out, he would have taken the lid off immediately.

"This little fellow is destined to be with your grandmaster. The thing in his hand was once part of the supreme imperial weapon that your grandmaster forged." The ancient imperial weapon deity transmitted a message from within Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity when I first saw this guy," Wang Teng said calmly via telepathy.

“But the origin of that thing might not be very legitimate, after all, he was a tomb raider, as you know…” the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Weapon God transmitted his voice.

"No wonder I always wanted to trick him every time I saw him, so that's why," Wang Teng continued calmly via telepathy.

Chaotic Ancient Emperors and Gods: ...

Okay, let's just pretend he didn't say anything.

"Ahem, Duan De, what was that you were holding just now? It looks familiar, like something I lost years ago. Could you let me see it? I need to identify it." Black Emperor coughed lightly and said in a low voice.

Duan De sneered at this.

He's already been swindled out of a Dragon Ball; if he continues to trust the other party, he'll think he's a fool.

"Let me show you, let me show you, it's like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever!" Duan De said bluntly.

Beside him, Black Emperor's face darkened, but he did not immediately retaliate.

"Alright, if you really want to see it, bring me back the Dragon Ball you took from me, and I'll show you what this lid is," Duan De said, his eyes darting around.

"Hahaha, isn't this a coincidence? I left the Dragon Ball outside Purple Mountain. I was worried that something might happen after I entered Purple Mountain, and I didn't want the Dragon Ball to get dirty, so I simply left it outside," the Black Emperor said matter-of-factly.

"Then forget it, I won't show it to you." Duan De immediately put the lid away, carefully avoiding hurting himself.

Duan De had absolutely no faith in or trust in this guy.

"Look, look, just because of such a small thing, we've lost all trust in each other. Is that good? That's not good at all!" Black Emperor sighed and said.

However, no matter how Black Emperor spoke, Duan De maintained the same attitude: he would absolutely not let Black Emperor see his own lid.

Black Emperor's attitude was also exceptionally firm. Whenever the Dragon Ball was mentioned, he would say that he had left it outside Purple Mountain and had not brought it with him, so he definitely could not produce it now.

A man and a dog were there, pulling each other at their limits as they moved forward.

Neither of them were willing to suffer a loss, and since the Black Emperor had already made Duan De suffer a loss once, Duan De was even more cautious this time.

Wang Teng listened to the man and the dog pulling at each other the whole way, but neither of them got what they wanted.

After they had traveled some distance, the tug-of-war finally ended.

It's not that any person or dog gave up, but rather that they reached the end of this stretch of road.

Although there is still a road ahead, it is completely different from the road they have traveled.

"Back then, many prodigies were trapped here. Some of them came here by accident and then stumbled into this area, where they were trapped and unable to leave. Although... although I don't know for sure, I just heard it from others, we still need to be careful."

Black Emperor began to speak, but almost gave himself away halfway through, and quickly changed his mind.

“Indeed, once we’re trapped here, we can’t leave,” Wang Teng said.

At this moment, his eyes shimmered with golden light, and intricate patterns formed within his pupils. A mysterious aura flowed along his eyes, as if carrying the power of time, allowing him to see the past, present, and future.

This is the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye!
Under the gaze of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, Wang Teng saw that there really was a person trapped in the stone wall in front of him!
