Chapter 1004: Meta-magnetic Aurora, the Enemy Appears

The Arctic Night-Demon Heaven!

The former site of the North Sea Sacred Land, the Primal Demon Sect's mountain gate!

It is itself an excellent place for cultivation, especially since it comes with natural barriers, capable of serving as the foundation for a large sect for ten thousand generations.

Backed by the thousand-year-old Abyss of Descent, demonic beasts find it difficult to approach. In front, the meta-magnetic aurora suppresses the Five Elements; ordinary cultivators simply cannot kill their way in.

I wonder how the North Sea Demon Alliance and that Sovereign Qixia managed to charge in?

But Luo Chen cannot afford to consider how to reach the destination right now; he needs to pass through the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array first.

In a world filled with shimmering starlight and hazy chaos, Luo Chen walks slowly, his expression slightly solemn.

Holding the token in his hand, his speed is not as fast as he had imagined.

"Master, did Li Canghai lie to us?" Xiao Bai asked with some worry.

Luo Chen looks ahead, searching for clues to the array while answering Xiao Bai.

"He didn't lie to us, otherwise we wouldn't be so safe and sound."

"But we are still trapped inside this great array!"

Within the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array, there is an extremely powerful force of sealing and suppression.

That force locks a cultivator's magic power tightly, and even the operation of thoughts seems to have slowed down.

Not only that, the surrounding starlight feels like mountains, suppressing the physical bodies of all living beings.

Even as strong as Luo Chen, walking inside at this moment feels like struggling through a swamp or mud pit.

But in Luo Chen's view, this is not Li Canghai targeting him; on the contrary, he marvels at Li Canghai's attainments in the Dao of Arrays.

"As expected of a Soul Transformation master of the Dao of Arrays!"

Luo Chen's eyes shine with golden light, scanning the surroundings, and even looking up at the sky.

"Using the earth's spiritual veins as a foundation, drawing upon the power of the stars, and even absorbing a portion of the meta-magnetic aurora's power, thus forming such a sealing array that connects heaven and earth!"

"Even though the array was broken due to the impact of the Abyss of Descent's power, after several decades, this array is actually repairing itself automatically."

"Operating as usual, endless and ceaseless. As long as this land remains and these stars persist, the power of the array will continue. I wonder if this array itself seizes the creation of heaven and earth, or if that so-called Law of the Dao of Arrays is maintaining all of this?"

Amidst his sighs, Luo Chen stops his steps.

He even sits cross-legged on the spot, entering a state of rest, as if waiting for something.

Xiao Bai is puzzled, but she does not ask further.

When it comes to knowledge of arrays, her master far exceeds her by a thousand or ten thousand times.

……

Outside the perimeter of the great array, three figures follow in.

Once inside, they are immediately plunged into the immense suppression like mountains.

Even the demon monk Kong Chan, under this huge pressure, is unable to move an inch,

directly frozen in place.

"Liu Jun, quickly use the Magnetic Sea Light-Piercing Shuttle!"

However, Liu Jun only shakes his head with a solemn expression, "The Magnetic Sea Light-Piercing Shuttle is specifically for passing through the Meta-magnetic Mountain Path, but this array was set up by the great master Li Canghai, so that shuttle is of no use."

The demon monk Kong Chan is stunned, "Then how did you get out of the Night-Demon Heaven back then?"

Shark Emperor Liu Jun smiles bitterly: "It was the two ancestors who joined forces to open a crack in the Billion-Soul Demon-Locking Array, and then I used the Magnetic Sea Light-Piercing Shuttle specially refined by the Primal Demon Sect to pass through the Meta-magnetic Mountain. As for this Arctic Demon-Sealing Array, the method to pass through it has a different trick."

"What trick?"

"Wait!" Liu Jun takes a deep breath and looks up at the sky: "Wait for the stars to rotate and the starlight to weaken. Then restrain your magic power and walk slowly. Only then can you break out of this great array."

The demon monk Kong Chan is astonished, "It's that simple?"

"Simple?" Liu Jun laughs in anger, "You'll know whether it's simple or difficult when the time comes."

Time passes slowly, and after about three sunrises and sunsets, the starlight in the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array dims slightly.

Liu Jun's eyes light up, "Good luck, we waited for it so quickly, let's go!"

After speaking, he cautiously takes a step forward.

Kong Chan and Tai Sui beside him also perk up and hurriedly take a step.

However, as soon as they lift their feet, that suppression force strikes again. Even though it is not as terrifying as before, it still makes their movements extremely difficult, and Tai Sui even stumbles, almost falling on his butt.

Liu Jun glances at them and walks forward at a steady pace.

"Is it still simple now?"

The two behind look at each other, and in the end, they can only suppress their impatience and follow behind him.

Shark Emperor Liu Jun walks in front, speaking faintly to pass on his experience to the two behind.

"This great array is too ingenious, drawing upon the power of extraterrestrial stars, so it can automatically regenerate and be endless. Even if we seize the cover of the right time and take advantage of the weakening starlight to pass through, we still cannot underestimate that power."

"After all, this is a Fifth-Tier array set up by a great master!"

"Follow my rhythm step by step, do not mobilize the magic power in your bodies. Like this, after about twelve cycles, we should be able to pass through this array."

……

"Master, the starlight has weakened!"

"Hmm."

Luo Chen slowly stands up, quietly watching the sky for a long while, and finally nods slightly.

"Let's go!"

Holding the token, he takes a step, and the next moment he appears ten zhang away.

Upon landing, his footsteps stagger slightly.

Luo Chen frowns, silently estimates, and then steps toward the left direction again.

This time, the distance crossed exceeds fifty zhang!

Luo Chen's mouth curls up, murmuring: "As expected!"

Afterwards, he no longer hesitates, stepping in a strange, non-synchronous rhythm, maintaining a unique pace, weaving left and right within the great array, but his direction is always forward.

Only to see that within the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array, the black-clothed figure is like a butterfly, dancing gracefully without any hesitation or pause.

It is as if that omnipresent, terrifying suppression force has disappeared.

After about a day and a night, the scene before Luo Chen suddenly brightens.

As far as the eye can see, snowstorms howl and surge ahead, while starlight flows like an ocean behind.

Xiao Bai's cheering voice comes from beside his ear.

"Finally out, Master, you are so amazing!"

Luo Chen shakes his head and chuckles, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that this token Li Canghai gave me allowed me to easily see through the operating principles of this great array."

He does not explain too much, focusing his attention on the snowstorm rolling out ahead and constantly shrinking back.

His expression becomes somewhat solemn.

Although solemn, he walks in without hesitation.

Because this snowstorm, which has not stopped for thousands of years, is his destination!

The Nine Heavens Sky Qi he wants is in the Arctic Night-Demon Heaven, yet not in the Night-Demon Heaven; the true location is precisely within the meta-magnetic aurora that the Primal Demon Sect relied on as its mountain-protecting barrier!

Once inside, snow and wind immediately strike his body.

The expanded magic power shield meets with violent impacts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luo Chen advances without hesitation; the ground beneath his feet is somewhat uneven. Looking closely, they are actually ferocious beast bones.

One wonders how many demonic beasts were buried on this mountain path.

Perhaps most of them were the dead from the battle to attack the Primal Demon Sect back then?

Suddenly!

Luo Chen feels that the magic power shield he expanded has developed a gap.

And it wasn't hit open, but gnawed away by something.

The Daoist suddenly opens his eyes, his red eyes and golden pupils expanding, clearly seeing insects the size of palms.

These insects are carried by the snowstorm, and soon they gnaw gaps into Luo Chen's incomparably tough protective light shield, which even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot break.

Such a scene makes one's expression change upon seeing it.

But Luo Chen feels relieved instead.

"Sure enough, there are a large number of Sky Insects here, which means there will be a large amount of Nine Heavens Sky Qi nearby!"

In the North Sea, there is a type of demonic beast called the Aurora Beast!

Born in the ocean, dwelling in hazy places, feeding on various auroras.

Rumor has it that the meta-magnetic divine light place of the Arctic Night-Demon Heaven has a large number of Aurora

Beasts gathered.

Luo Chen knew this rumor two hundred years ago, and even encountered a guy disguised as an Aurora Beast once.

It wasn't until later when he ascended to the Nine Heavens to capture Sky Qi, and verified the two, that he realized the so-called Aurora Beast is actually the Sky Insect!

The two have different names, but essentially they are the same existence.

Luo Chen didn't realize it at first, but after Li Canghai's guidance, he figured it out: since Sky Insects feed on Sky Qi, there must be traces of large amounts of Sky Qi where there are large amounts of Sky Insects.

After this reverse deduction, the Arctic Night-Demon Heaven is clearly the place where Sky Qi gathers most in the world!

Now with Li Canghai's help, forcibly crossing the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array, Luo Chen has finally reached his destination.

He walks all the way forward, charging through the snowstorm.

Gradually, the magic power shield on his body constantly dissipates, unable to withstand the gnawing attacks of the Sky Insects.

But Luo Chen is not panicked; he moves his mind and speaks a true mantra.

"Armor Covering!"

The next moment, a pitch-black armor appears on Luo Chen's body.

The armor is ancient and simple, covered with patterns, as if carved by knives and axes, full of a sense of vicissitudes.

Spiritual light flickers, forming a thick air shield outside the main armor.

It is precisely the Xuan Chen Armor that Luo Chen re-refined!

Supplemented by Xuan Ming's Black Turtle Source Blood, plus four top-grade lotus seeds, after decades of Luo Chen's nourishment, the defensive power of the Xuan Chen Armor has skyrocketed.

The violent snowstorm beats against it, unable to shake the air shield even by half a point.

Even with a large number of Sky Insects gnawing, it is nothing more than a mayfly shaking a tree, overestimating their own strength!

Luo Chen walks forward step by step, and halfway through, he suddenly looks up.

"It's on the mountain!"

Without hesitation, Luo Chen soars into the sky.

During this process, the Xuan Chen air shield on his body dissipates for no reason, and the Sky Insects flying freely nearby see this and swarm over again with sharp screams.

Luo Chen doesn't care at all; even without the air shield, the defensive power of the Xuan Chen Armor itself is even more formidable.

He ignores the siege of the Sky Insects, his gaze sweeping over the two mountains beside him.

On the mountain, wisps of special gray-white light emerge; this light fills the void and even extends to the Nine Heavens above.

"This mountain is the Meta-magnetic Mountain!"

"This light is the meta-magnetic aurora known for suppressing the Five Elements of the world!"

"So, the air shield automatically released by the Xuan Chen Armor disappears for no reason."

"So there will be a large amount of Nine Heavens Sky Qi automatically coming here; they are swept by the meta-magnetic aurora and forced to descend."

After figuring this out, Luo Chen lands on a mountain peak.

Looking at the large number of Sky Insects circling his body, Luo Chen snorts coldly.

The next

moment, terrifying Red Sky Sword Qi erupts from his body, cutting down a large area of Sky Insect corpses.

Afterwards, he claps his hands, and the Nine Heavens Urn from the Nine Spirits Sect lands beside him.

Luo Chen pinches a magic seal, and the Nine Heavens Urn immediately trembles, and the Nine Heavens Sky Qi accumulated for hundreds of years around it surges toward the Nine Heavens Urn all at once.

In the boundless snowstorm, aurora permeates, all returning to one urn.

This scene is breathtakingly beautiful!

Luo Chen's heart is also very beautiful.

Although these Nine Heavens Sky Qi are relatively mixed and not all three types he needs, they are far better than searching aimlessly in the Azure Void.

The time saved is more than three or five years?

"I will remember this favor from Li Canghai."

Luo Chen chuckles, slowly closes his eyes, and spreads his spiritual sense to assist the Nine Heavens Urn in collecting more Sky Qi.

……

One year later.

Luo Chen suddenly opens his eyes, claps his hands on the Nine Heavens Urn, and stops the collection of Sky Qi.

Xiao Bai notices this scene and asks curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"

Luo Chen says nothing, his gaze falling on the mountain path below that is covered by snowstorms all year round.

This is the only road into the Arctic Night-Demon Heaven.

Inside, there are extreme cold snowstorms, plus Sky Insect attacks, and meta-magnetic aurora suppressing the Five Elements; the natural terrain alone is not something ordinary cultivators can pass.

When the Primal Demon Sect was at its peak, with a small number of strong experts stationed there, it was the most solid road in the world.

This point can be seen from the layers of beast bones and corpses on the mountain path.

Even though there are no strong experts stationed there now, the omnipresent danger should not be something that ordinary people dare to charge through.

But in his previous spiritual sense perception, he indeed felt someone charging in.

"Is it that chanting monk stationed in the Sea-Surging City?"

Under Luo Chen's gaze, only to see a stream of light breaking through the air, moving against the violent snowstorm.

The surrounding Sky Insects turn a blind eye, and even the meta-magnetic aurora covering the mountain path seems to have no effect.

Looking closely, that stream of light is clearly a flying shuttle with a strange shape.

"A flying shuttle made from a whole piece of meta-magnetic ore?"

Luo Chen is somewhat surprised, but soon a look of astonishment appears on his face.

With his cultivation of Qi, even when alone, he shouldn't be so out of character, but there is a reason for this moment.

Inside the flying shuttle, there are three people.

One of them, Luo Chen recognized when he sneaked into the Sea-Surging Ruined City, is clearly that Fourth-Tier late-stage chanting monk, known as the demon monk Kong Chan, who is also famous in the North Sea.

And the remaining two.

"Shark Emperor

Liu Jun!"

"The other guy, why does he also give me a sense of familiarity... no, even a sense of intimacy?"

Luo Chen frowns slightly, coldly watching the flying shuttle below disappear into the snowstorm.

Their target should be the true mountain gate of the Primal Demon Sect, the Arctic Night-Demon Heaven.

The Arctic Demon-Sealing Array set up by Li Canghai is on the outside, and the Billion-Soul Demon-Locking Array set up by the ancestors of the Primal Demon Sect's Soul-Refining lineage is on the inside.

The former was set up by a great master of the Dao of Arrays, so it can repair itself after being destroyed, slowly returning to its peak. But the array of the Soul-Refining ancestor has had little effect since a large number of demonic beasts rushed out with the help of the Abyss of Descent's power back then.

These three spent a year breaking through the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array and passed through the Meta-magnetic Mountain Path without injury; the rest should be smooth sailing.

Luo Chen has a grudge against Shark Emperor Liu Jun, but for now, collecting Sky Qi to cultivate the Sword Scripture is the priority, so it's not worth creating extra trouble.

But that guy who makes him feel familiar and intimate makes Luo Chen a bit unable to sit still.

"In the North Sea, besides Cheng Haixin, why is there someone else who can make me feel this way?"

Amidst deep suspicion, Luo Chen orders softly:

"Xiao Bai, you follow in and check on the movements of the three for me."

Xiao Bai manifests from Luo Chen's body, standing gracefully to one side.

"Okay!"

Luo Chen thinks for a moment, reaches out to his body, claps his hand toward Xiao Bai, and a black light enters her body.

"I have infused the Xuan Chen Armor into your body; it contains a strand of my magic power, enough to protect you at critical moments."

"For those three, you are only responsible for observing, do not make a move!"

"If the situation changes or you encounter danger, notify me."

Xiao Bai nods, a smile appearing on her face, and then she jumps off the Meta-magnetic Mountain and flies toward the Night-Demon Heaven.

Her speed is neither fast nor slow, and the surrounding snowstorm and Sky Insects do not hinder her in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen immediately understands that soul bodies are not affected by this place.

"This is a flaw for safely entering and exiting the Primal Demon Sect's mountain gate... Hehe, the Primal Demon Sect at its peak, with the Soul-Refining lineage famous throughout the mountain and sea world, would they fear mere ghost-cultivator soul bodies sneaking into the mountain gate?"

Laughing at himself, Luo Chen sits cross-legged again.

The collected Sky Qi is not enough, continue! ===== CHAPTER 1005 =====
