Chapter 628: Communicating Lotus Platform, Instant Kill of Four Golden Cores

The Thousand-Ren Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles.

There is more than one towering mountain peak.

They seem to stand scattered in various places, but there is also a pattern between them.

The lower the mountain, the lower the grade of the mineral deposits within, and the more low-tier strange beasts lurking within, emphasizing victory by quantity.

And the higher the mountain, the higher the grade of the mineral deposits within!

Not only that, the grade of the strange beasts guarding the mountain is also higher, almost perfectly corresponding.

The difference is that as the grade of mineral deposits and strange beasts increases, the quantity decreases.

Like those of the first tier, the quantity is over ten thousand; the second tier usually numbers in the thousands; and for the third tier, the quantity is usually at the level of a hundred.

But once it involves a fourth-tier mineral mountain, the number of strange beasts within will plummet, with only single digits, or possibly only one or two strange beasts guarding it.

Under such circumstances, for Golden Core cultivators, apart from the first-tier mineral mountains, the rest of the mineral mountains are not easy to conquer.

The second-tier mineral mountains, although the grade is low, have too many strange beasts.

The third-tier mineral mountains have slightly fewer strange beasts, but an impact of over a hundred third-tier strange beasts at once is something ordinary Golden Core cultivators dare not face directly.

Even a strong trio like Luo Chen's had to avoid the edge of the third-tier black-gold viper group's impact.

Not to mention the fourth-tier mineral mountains!

At this moment, at the foot of a towering blue fourth-tier mineral mountain.

Four figures were flying down rapidly.

After breaking away from the blue mountain range, the four of them quickly drilled into a pre-arranged array.

Holding their breath, they looked at the outside world.

Before long, they saw a dark blue giant ape jumping back; after reaching the mountain, it seemed to discover that something was missing, and let out an angry roar.

Hearing this roar, the four of them all revealed smiles.

Inside the array, a shadowy figure emerged.

The shadowy figure was slim; seeing the four people laughing, she asked immediately: "Did you get the Blue Derived Lead?"

The leader, an old man with red hair, nodded.

"Naturally, we got it; we used great means to directly dig off the Blue Derived Lead vein, and the most essential things are in my hands. This time, I have to thank Fellow Daoist Youya for luring away that giant ape."

Youya's face was covered under a hood, and her expression couldn't be seen; she just reached out to the old man.

"My share!"

The old man raised his eyebrows. "This mineral vein is complete, so it's not easy to divide; why not wait until..."

"Give it to me!" Youya's tone was extremely tough.

The old man's expression turned gloomy.

The other three saw this and hurriedly tried to persuade them.

However, Youya remained unmoved.

She just stared fixedly at the red-haired old man. "Red Corpse Superior, I can lure away a fourth-tier strange beast, so naturally I can also lure it here; are you sure you won't give it to me?"

Instantly, the atmosphere became tense!

The old man took a deep breath and took out a crystal-clear blue crystal from his storage bag.

When he took it out, the expressions of the other three changed.

"This is the best quality among that batch of Blue Derived Lead, even approaching the fifth tier; how can you..."

The old man interrupted the words of the person behind him and forced a smile.

"The Thousand-Ren Mountains are the most dangerous and richest place in the Five-Element Heaven. We avoid the four places with the most people and come here to search for rare mineral deposits, relying on Fellow Daoist Youya's Shadow Evasion technique."

"She contributed the most, so she should naturally share the best portion of the spoils!"

"Fellow Daoist Youya, I hope we can continue to cooperate sincerely later."

Youya snorted lightly and took the Blue Derived Lead from Red Corpse Superior's reluctant gaze.

Once this thing was in hand, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"With this thing, my Shadow Evasion technique will have no flaws; even a Nascent Soul True Person won't be able to find my true body, perhaps I can go and break into that place of inheritance."

Having made a decision in her heart, the subsequent cooperation was no longer necessary!

In front of the four, her figure gradually began to dissipate.

Red Corpse Superior's expression changed greatly. "Fellow Daoist Youya, do you want to go back on your word?"

Youya shook her head. "It's not going back on my word, just terminating the cooperative relationship with you."

"You!"

"Keep her!"

The three were furious and were about to take action to keep this woman.

However, Red Corpse Superior gave a sharp shout, interrupting their actions, and the wariness was visible to the naked eye.

He was still worried about the dark blue giant ape close at hand.

Youya saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh lightly.

"Red Corpse Superior has a good demeanor, so the little girl can't be too excessive; I have a piece of news to tell you, which might make up for the loss of me later."

"Three hundred miles away from here, I saw the Nine Yang Golden Eagle fighting with someone."

"If you go there fast, maybe you can pick up a bargain."

The voice was still in their ears, but when they looked again, Youya had already disappeared without a trace.

This was the Shadow Evasion technique of the Shadow Demon Girl, famous in the North Sea!

Hiding and concealing was unsolvable, and array restrictions were like nothing!

Red Corpse Superior wasn't surprised by the other party's ability, but seeing the other party freely enter and exit his array still made him feel cold.

Looking back at the three dissatisfied gazes, he shook his head.

"We can't keep her, and with the giant ape as a great enemy, unless you want to die."

The three of them had long understood this truth, but they were still unwilling.

Without the Shadow Demon Girl to contain the strange beasts in this realm, their subsequent gains would only decrease by seventy or eighty percent!

If it were like this, it would be better to seek treasures in the Sand Sea or Wood Heaven Plain.

Red Corpse Superior had also thought this way, but he didn't expect the Shadow Demon Girl to terminate the cooperation directly after getting the Blue Derived Lead.

"Forget it, let's go to the Nine Yang Golden Eagle side first, see if we can pick up a bargain. Afterward, leave the Thousand-Ren Mountains and go to the Wood Heaven Plain to pick medicinal herbs!"

He was the one with the highest realm among the five, possessing the ninth-layer Golden Core realm.

With the Shadow Demon Girl gone, the others naturally followed his decision.

Subsequently, the four of them packed up the array, hid their aura, bypassed the high and low mountain peaks one by one, and headed toward the territory of the Nine Yang Golden Eagle.

In the valley between the mountains.

The Master of Moyun Cave's expression was extremely ugly, because a black flood dragon and a cyan bird were surrounding him, staring like tigers watching their prey.

If it were just one demon beast, he wouldn't take it to heart.

But two were very tricky.

Especially the Black King, who was like a python and a dragon; the aura displayed at this moment was clearly third-tier late-stage, and it was vigorous and unparalleled, not inferior to those great demon kings who had advanced for many years.

He looked up at the sky, looking at the two figures standing in the air.

"Qingyang Demon Lord, is what you said true?"

Before Luo Chen could answer, Ding Yi spoke.

"Is it true or false, does it still depend on his one-sided words? Cave Master, you and I have known each other for many years; if you don't believe me at this moment, could it be you want to believe him?"

"If he kills me, the next one to die will be you. Before, he didn't say hello and set an ambush to lure strange beasts to attack the two of us; that was his good deed!"

"Cave Master, don't hesitate!"

The Master of Moyun Cave seemed moved, but didn't take action immediately.

Luo Chen glanced at him coldly. "You hesitated, which means you believed my words. Fellow Daoist Moyun, think carefully, does the Ding Yi you know only have the means of activating the gourd magic treasure? What about the others, is it that he doesn't want to or can't?"

The Master of Moyun Cave's face became increasingly gloomy.

It should be that he can't!

He knew what Ding Yi's abilities were; with a ninth-layer Golden Core realm, he had two or three powerful magic treasures in his hands, not inferior to that yellow-skinned gourd.

With their friendship, how could he sit by and watch him be attacked by the Nine Yang Golden Eagle?

Thinking about it now, if the other party had really fallen, what was on his body was that so-called Tai Sui.

That could explain why the other party adjusted his breath in the stone hall for half a day, but his magic power hadn't recovered much.

Because the other party clearly used the time to refine Ding Yi's magic treasures.

And the time was hasty, only having time to refine the yellow-skinned gourd, this one magic treasure!

Seeing him silent, Luo Chen sneered at "Ding Yi," no, it should be Tai Sui!

"Up to this point, my killing intent is exposed, and you don't think about fighting me to the death, but instead go to persuade Fellow Daoist Moyun; it seems you know you are not my opponent!"

"Since that's the case, then go die!"

As soon as the words fell, Luo Chen instantly pinched a spiritual formula.

The Forest Fire Prison immediately began to tighten from outside to inside, covering him and Tai Sui together.

Tai Sui's expression changed greatly, wanting to mobilize the magic power in his Golden Core, but felt it was restless and difficult to control freely.

And Luo Chen opposite him had already moved.

Seven swords merged into one!

Piercing through the air!

"Stop!"

Tai Sui shouted in a panic.

But Luo Chen didn't show any signs of stopping; facing the terrifying baleful energy attacking his body, he really panicked.

"Don't you want to know the true location of the Five-Element Lotus Platform?"

While speaking, he clapped his hands violently.

The fat on his body rolled like waves again, and in the intense activation, Ding Yi's body became as thin as a bamboo pole.

The sword tip of the Seven-Shatter-Merge was blocked outside by a virtual big fan.

Tai Sui gritted his teeth, his expression ugly to the extreme.

He completely didn't expect Luo Chen's strength to reach this level, controlling means similar to the Nascent Soul domain, suppressing his magic power so he couldn't use it.

And the innate technique, after being used on the Nine Yang Golden Eagle, didn't have much power left.

If he really wanted to fight the other party to the death, I fear this residual thought avatar wouldn't be preserved.

"Qingyang Demon Lord, I know what you are thinking."

"You saw the distribution of spiritual energy in this world and must have thought that the Five-Element Lotus Platform is in a place with dense wood-attribute spiritual energy, and even if you kill me, you can find it yourself."

"But I tell you, you're wrong!"

Tai Sui said anxiously and quickly; in this process, his body became increasingly withered, and it couldn't be described as a bamboo pole anymore.

It was simply like a skeleton with skin.

Luo Chen's expression didn't change, using the Soul Heaven Sword Box to control the Seven-Shatter Sword.

He said coldly: "If it's not in a place with dense wood-attribute spiritual energy, it should be in a place where the five Qi are condensed!"

"Wrong, still wrong!" Tai Sui hurriedly denied, and said anxiously: "The Five-Element Lotus Platform in the Land of Fallen Demons has reached the fourth-tier limit and is about to break through to the fifth tier; it has long since broken away from the limitations of the five-Qi condensed environment. It is now wandering somewhere in the Five-Element Heaven, and ordinary people can't find its true location at all; only I know! If you kill me, even if you search the Five-Element Heaven for a hundred years, you won't find the true body of that Five-Element Lotus Platform!"

The sword tip paused slightly.

Feeling that the baleful energy was no longer attacking his protective technique, Tai Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly said: "I absolutely won't lie to you; that Five-Element Lotus Platform has already become communicative, and it is by no means comparable to those pseudo-spirits forcibly enlightened in the Thousand-Ren Mountains. If you want this thing, you must rely on me!"

Luo Chen frowned, communicating rapidly with Han Zhan in his heart.

"Is what he said correct?"

"It's hard to judge; after all, the Five-Element Lotus Platform has always been controlled by the holy land. The one obtained by the Green Alchemy Valley back then was only just entering the fourth tier and hadn't had time to become communicative. However, this person's soul fluctuations are extremely intense; he should be telling the truth."

Is that so?

Luo Chen hesitated; Han Zhan had said before that the Five-Element Lotus Platform might be in a place where the five Qi were condensed.

This was also the main reason he dared to set an ambush to kill Tai Sui.

Without the other party, he could also find the Five-Element Lotus Platform.

But looking at it now, an accident happened!

In an instant, Luo Chen made a decision.

"I can not kill you, but this time you must sincerely find the Five-Element Lotus Platform for me!"

Tai Sui breathed a sigh of relief. "Naturally, I can. I can even make a Dao oath. However... you must also promise me one thing!"

"Hmm?" Luo Chen's tone was heavy.

But Tai Sui didn't back down this time. "You must promise, otherwise even if you kill me, it's useless. What's on Ding Yi is only a residual thought of mine; this body is merely an avatar to me, and I can just discard it!"

Luo Chen suppressed the impatience in his heart. "What is it, tell me and let me hear."

There's something to talk about!

Tai Sui said immediately: "Very simple, after I find the Five-Element Lotus Platform for you, you and the Master of Moyun Cave must go to where my main body is and help me unlock the restriction trapping my main body."

"Impossible!"

Luo Chen flatly refused.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the other party. "Just one avatar is this tricky; I dare not even imagine how powerful the main body is. In case you kill the donkey after it has served its purpose..."

"I can make a Great Dao oath!" Tai Sui said sharply, as if to grab a life-saving straw. "If I deal with you after the matter is done, let me be struck by five thunders and never be reincarnated!"

"Qingyang Demon Lord, you don't have to worry about my sincerity. My main body is Tai Sui, a spiritual plant that has become communicative, and I fear thunder and fire the most. This kind of oath has a great binding force on me!"

Luo Chen hesitated.

Looking at the sincere Tai Sui, he said slowly: "Just making an oath is not enough; I must place one or two restrictive means on you."

As he spoke, a group of cyan flames rose faintly in his palm.

Just at a glance, Tai Sui's pupils shrank.

But now that his life was in the hands of others, he had to bow his head.

"I promise you."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and after the other party made the oath, he clapped the group of Withered Glory True Fire into the other party's body, near the Qi sea.

In this way, there was a double insurance.

Up to this point, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Luo Chen dispersed the Forest Fire Prison, put Black King and Tianxuan into the spirit beast bag, and no longer suppressed the Master of Moyun Cave.

Subsequently, he put away the Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner.

After the sky-filling ghost fog dissipated, the sky was clear.

Just at this time, exclamations appeared.

"Top-grade Nine Yang Geng Metal! And such a big piece!"

Accompanying the sound were four figures.

They occupied the high sky, looking down at the three people below.

One was ninth-layer Golden Core, his aura was extremely exhausted, as if he had just performed some secret technique that hurt his vitality.

One was seventh-layer Golden Core, his face was pale, his magic robe was tattered, and there were eagle claw marks on his body.

Another person's aura was not bad, but only revealed the realm of sixth-layer Golden Core.

"It seems you spent a lot of effort to kill this Nine Yang Golden Eagle!"

Red Corpse Superior smiled gloomily.

With a wave of his hand, the other three slowly dispersed, surrounding Luo Chen and the others.

Not only that, two figures also appeared behind him, lifeless, but with copper skin and iron bones, looking like they were not easy to deal with.

Facing this scene, the Master of Moyun Cave was like facing a great enemy, and had already raised his life-bound magic treasure, the copper furnace.

And Tai Sui gave a bitter laugh.

"Qingyang Demon Lord, I really don't have much strength right now."

Luo Chen's expression was calm, and he shook his head.

"No matter, just a group of guys seeking their own death!"

As he spoke, the Forest Fire Prison, which had disappeared, unfolded again, covering the entire valley!

A terrifying pressure immediately enveloped the four Golden Core cultivators.

When this pressure appeared, Red Corpse Superior's face changed.

"Nascent Soul True Person?"

There was no answer, only a huge cyan palm print breaking through the air.

And, behind those layers of Qingyang palm prints, four sharp flying swords!

And in front of the other three, a flying sword also attacked.

The three mid-stage Golden Core cultivators wanted to resist, but for some reason, they couldn't raise their magic power in time.

Just a single oversight, and they were pierced through the chest by the flying swords, with terrifying baleful energy spitting out, shattering their cores and breaking their souls!

Red Corpse Superior's face was terrified, hurriedly controlling two corpse puppets comparable to great cultivators to block in front of him.

Boom! Boom!

The terrifying palm print sent the two corpse puppets flying backward, although it didn't kill them, it broke the protective formation.

And behind the palm print, four flying swords came suddenly, launching attacks centered on Red Corpse Superior.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sharp sound of metal clashing sounded continuously, showing that this person also had extraordinary magic treasures for protection.

In his panic, Red Corpse Superior had only one thought in his heart.

"Run!"

Magic power surged out, temporarily pushing away the inexplicable domain suppression, gaining a moment of peace.

At this time, he could calmly control his own magic power.

He withstood the attacks of the four flying swords and was about to flee.

But just at this time, a loud explosion sounded abruptly.

The next moment, the red-robed Daoist appeared abruptly, blocking his path.

Red Corpse Superior stared at those cold eyes and hurriedly opened his mouth. "Fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding, we were just passing by..."

His eyes were faint, as if falling into an illusion.

When Red Corpse Superior woke up in severe pain, the four sharp swords had already pierced through his chest, and his Golden Core was being held by the red-robed Daoist's hand, which felt like jade.

"How could..."

Plop!

The corpse fell to the ground.

The two corpse puppets also made no sound, falling to the ground with two plops.

On the ground, the Master of Moyun Cave looked at the three corpses, and then looked up at the sky in awe.

One against four, killing them instantly!

Qingyang Demon Lord is truly terrifying!

Tai Sui was also suspicious and uncertain; he knew the other party might be very strong, strong enough to wipe out this avatar of his.

But he didn't expect the other party's means to be so rich, and the combat consciousness to be even more exquisite.

There was no protracted battle, only a sudden second-kill with the speed of lightning.

"Ding Yi, you really found a good helper for me!" Tai Sui was angry in his heart.

In the sky, Luo Chen was about to land, but suddenly turned his head.

He subconsciously looked in a certain direction, but found nothing.

He frowned, then landed on the ground, and the seven sharp swords entered the sword box behind him like swallows returning to their nests.

Patting the spirit beast bag, a cyan figure flew out, it was Tianxuan.

"Clean up the spoils for me; those two corpse puppets should be intact, bring them to me!"

"Yes, Master!" Tianxuan responded crisply, first walking toward the Nine Yang Geng Metal the size of a millstone on the ground.

And seeing her fly out, changing from a cyan bird to a human form, the Master of Moyun Cave and Ding Yi were shocked again.

A demon cultivator who has transformed?

But why is it only at the third-tier level?

Luo Chen ignored their shock and walked straight to Tai Sui.

"Tell me about this so-called Five-Element Heaven!"
