Chapter 73 Seven-Headed Monster
[Detected 'Dragon Trapped Spirit Formation', Xuan-grade Formation (Incomplete)]

Su Cheng gently stroked the ripples of the barrier, frowning slightly, thinking that there must be something hidden beneath the barrier.

The formation was hidden so cunningly that if the rocks had not collapsed and revealed a corner, it would have been difficult to see even the slightest clue.

Shi Xuan murmured, "Do you want to break the barrier?"

"Try it." Su Cheng pressed his palm lightly, and the moment the formation was absorbed, the two of them were suddenly suspended in the air.

He hugged the puppet's waist and fell nearly a hundred feet. The wind whistled in his ears and the surroundings were plunged into sticky darkness.

The moment it landed smoothly, ripple-like echoes spread from the blue bricks.

Dark phosphorescent fire suddenly ignited from the cracks in the ground, illuminating the mottled palace walls with ghostly shadows.

Su Cheng looked around in surprise, and saw that the place was covered with cracks and scars everywhere, as if it was a ruin site thousands of years ago.

"Could it be that this is also the cave of a certain cultivator?"

"Something is different." Shi Xuan said softly, "Look at the structure here, it's more like a palace building."

"Was it built by a member of the Dongchen Kingdom's royal family many years ago?"

woo-

A cold wind suddenly arose, swirling around the dome with mournful wailing.

Su Cheng's face darkened slightly. He suddenly took out his sword and looked up.

But the pitch-black dome seemed to be wriggling like waves, and scarlet blood pupils opened one by one.

"Ho-"

A sinister breathing sound echoed in the palace, and a dark shadow suddenly swooped down, clutching a sharp blade and slashing at the two men's heads.

Enter the mysterious level?

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, and with a casual sword, he split the black shadow in half. The remaining body fell to the ground without a trace of blood.

"This is."

Shi Xuan glanced at the corpse. Although the monster had a humanoid form, its body was pitch black and its limbs were twisted, making it look even more inhuman.

Su Cheng thrust the sword into the half-body, and with a thought, wisps of black air quietly wrapped around the sword and rose up.

[Detected 'Dark Domain Turbid Air'. Absorbing and Purifying]

[Absorbing Dark Domain Mysterious Energy: One Wisp]

Dark area?

Su Cheng was slightly stunned. These monsters actually contained auras related to the Dark Realm?

"Ho ho. Ho." Panting sounds came from all directions.

Silver flames suddenly burst out from his body, and with a sweep of his black sword, dozens of sword auras suddenly flew up, rapidly crisscrossing and flashing on the dome of the palace.

But in the blink of an eye, monsters fell like raindrops, shattering into charred debris all over the ground.

Su Cheng clenched his five fingers in the air, and the thin black air that was scattered around gathered here——

Absorbing Dark Domain Profound Energy: Three Days

The portion was quite sparse.

Seeing that there were no monsters around the temple, Su Cheng turned around and said, "This place is related to the Dark Realm."

"It's really strange." Shi Xuan pondered: "This dark area is hidden, I'm afraid it hides many strange things."

"Look deeper."

Su Cheng stepped over the debris and gravel on the ground, leading Shi Xuan slowly along the corridor covered with dead vines.

He swung his sword to clear the way, and looking around at the broken walls and ruins, he could see the ruins of many collapsed buildings.

"It looks like a collapsed palace?"

"But why is it built in a cave?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Cheng suddenly stopped.

He looked in the direction of the flickering firelight and saw a ten-meter-tall giant statue embedded in the mountain wall.

Its body coiled like a dragon, wings spread from its scaly back. Seven ferocious dragon heads pointed skyward, each pair of vertical pupils gleaming with a creepy light. Shi Xuan gasped at the sight, "How could such a bizarre creature exist?"

"You've never seen it?"

"Although multi-headed monsters are not uncommon, even the nine-headed Xiangliu has records in the classics."

Shi Xuan murmured, "But this monster not only has wings on its back, but also dragon claws. Its seven crowns and horns are all different in appearance, just like..."

She pondered for a moment before speaking hesitantly, "Dozens of demonic beasts have been mixed and twisted into the same body."

Su Cheng looked strange when he heard this.

The things in this cave are truly weirder than each other.

"Huh?" He quickly discovered something and immediately moved to the front of the rock wall.

But there were dark golden inscriptions embossed on the stone surface - it was clearly engraved by a monk with spiritual power, and its sharpness remained unchanged after thousands of years of wind and frost.

This stone inscription consists of only a few hundred words, and the very beginning made Su Cheng feel surprised.

"Was it carved by the Lord of Dongchen himself?"

After reading the rest of the text, his expression suddenly became more solemn.

The inscriptions record that this place was originally the king's private garden. In order to explore the secrets of the dark realm, he joined forces with various immortal forces and conducted many experiments in the secret chamber.

However, the secret technique got out of control and caused a disaster. Dark miasma invaded the palace and turned the area within a radius of ten miles into a gloomy ghost zone.

In desperation, the King of Dongchen could only seek help from the Duotian Alliance to forcibly suppress and seal this death zone.

Shi Xuan murmured: "So, the dark monster we just saw..."

"Perhaps they were servants and maids who were caught up in the incident hundreds of years ago."

Su Cheng pondered and said, "They have already died. They just used the dark realm's profound energy to become walking corpses."

No wonder it's like an empty shell, devoid of any sense.
"And this sculpture was the culprit that caused the riot hundreds of years ago."

He slowly retreated to his original position, looking up at the massive sculpture with an increasingly serious expression. "Combining the bloodlines of numerous demonic beasts, filling it with the flesh and blood of countless living beings, and finally integrating it with the profound energy of the Dark Realm, this monster was born."

Shi Xuan said in a low voice: "He is really crazy."

Su Cheng frowned, feeling the situation was thorny. The seal script on the stone wall not only explained the reason, but also detailed the method of sealing the beast.

If the sculpture collapses and the monster breaks the seal, future generations can activate the restriction and reseal the evil.

But the restrictions here
He glanced at the debris at his feet. The spiritual treasure at the heart of the restriction had long since shattered into a pile of debris, perhaps due to the corrosion of the Dark Realm's profound energy over the past few centuries.

“No wonder the Dragon-Trapping Spirit Formation above the cave is already incomplete.”

Su Cheng sighed helplessly, and then looked closely at the huge sculpture: "But I don't know when it will be unsealed and released into the world——"

Swish!
The rock cave trembled suddenly. The dome shook off the dust.

Fine cracks also appeared on the surface of the huge sculpture, spreading like a spider web, and wisps of black mist seeped out from the gaps.

Su Cheng's expression froze for a moment, and then he looked strange: "How could our timing be so coincidental?"

"That's not the case." Shi Xuan murmured, "This beast was already on the verge of breaking the seal. Our presence here only awakened it."

Click!
The cracks on the sculpture gradually spread, and the black fog became more and more violent, as if turning into dark clouds that blocked out the sun.

A cold and oppressive pressure enveloped the place, and Su Cheng couldn't help but sink his body, and cracks appeared on the ground under his feet.

"Is this above Danxuan?"

"The peak of the middle Danxuan realm, half a step to the upper realm."

Shi Xuan said solemnly: "If it is completely unsealed, it may become even stronger."

Su Cheng's mind raced, and he suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, leaping out with his sword in hand.

Shi Xuan was shocked when he saw this: "Are you going to——"

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him."

Su Cheng approached suddenly, and the sharp edge of the black sword instantly penetrated into the crack of the sculpture.

"absorb!"
