Chapter 464: We must forge ahead

Qingyang True Lord sensed something amiss, he exerted all his strength to charge forward, but was blocked by this indestructible flame.

"You bunch of idiots!"

"Impossible!"

"I will not be stopped!" Qingyang True Lord roared, struggling to break free.

Lu Yuan seized the opportunity to deploy his Five Elements Escape Armor Art, weaving through the fire net to dodge Qingyang True Lord's attacks.

He led the team in launching their strongest assault, like a whirlwind charging at Qingyang True Lord.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip, releasing an extreme cold frost power.

King Qi brandished the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, cutting a dazzling golden arc in the air.

Gu Qingwan, using the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, guided forth a red magical orb, strengthening the team's offense and defense.

Fire, ice, gold, and red intertwined, forming a spectacular energy storm.

This immense power inevitably inflicted heavy damage on Qingyang True Lord.

"No... impossible..." Qingyang True Lord coughed up a mouthful of blood, his stature teetering on the brink of collapse.

In Li Yiyi's courtyard, the Red Lotus Sect Leader sat arrogantly in a chair, gazing at the reverently standing Red Lotus Sect disciple before him.

"Very good, you performed excellently."

Li Yiyi said leisurely, a glint of scheming appearing in his eyes.

"According to the intelligence, I know the secret of the Three Lives Pill's hiding place."

"Now, you need to raid everyone who knows this information."

The Red Lotus Sect disciple accepted the order expressionlessly: "Yes! We will complete the task with all our might."

Actually, deep down they felt uneasy, sensing their insignificance within the Red Lotus Sect.

But in this cruel and indifferent world, only loyalty and strength can let them survive.

Li Yiyi smiled, withdrawing his gaze: "Do a good job."

"Once the task is completed, I will grant you generous rewards."

After paying respects, the Red Lotus Sect disciple turned and left Li Yiyi's courtyard, carrying loyalty and fear.

They knew that in the Red Lotus Sect, betrayal is absolutely intolerable.

Elsewhere, as night fell, a thin mist enveloped the Black Flame Sect disciples.

In their hands appeared a black glow vessel.

This is the Black Flame Mist Shadow Vessel, capable of releasing devastating black flame mist.

"Brothers, we must cooperate fully to accomplish the mission!" a Black Flame Sect disciple shouted loudly.

The others nodded in agreement, determined to obliterate the place slated for raid until nothing remained.

Under the cover of night, the Black Flame Sect disciples swiftly passed through the dense forest, arriving at the entrance of the Fallen Star Mine.

They restrained their formerly arrogant and overbearing demeanor, replacing it with a hint of caution and reverence.

……

As the leader, Lu Yuan calmly and composedly observed the mysterious aura emanating from the entrance.

He could sense that this ancient mine contained abundant cultivation resources; finding such a treasure land made him very excited.

"How should we enter now?"

Su Liyan gazed at the magnificent ancient structure before her, which sparkled with brilliant light in the sunlight.

She flicked the dew dripping from the Ice Crystal Long Whip, asking softly.

Gu Qingwan stared at the summoning intent emanating from the entrance, saying, "I've heard that deep inside lies a legendary hall guarding endless treasures and secrets."

King Qi patted the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel in his hand, saying, "Since we've come in, we must thoroughly uncover the secrets of this Fallen Star Mine."

"We must forge ahead!"

Lu Yuan nodded, saying, "We must proceed with caution; although the Fallen Star Mine is a treasure land, it may also harbor various dangers."

"Everyone stay vigilant."

Everyone nodded in unison, they readied their equipment and steadily entered the Fallen Star Mine.

Upon stepping inside, they were immediately enveloped by an ancient and solemn aura.

They traversed the labyrinthine corridors, where murals depicted ethereal beings, and corners emitted faint mysterious glows.

Lu Yuan observed the surroundings with interest, wondering if he could find an excellent method to enhance his strength here. He took a deep breath, gazing at the massive stone stele at the labyrinth's center.

The stele bore intricate runes, exuding a mysterious and formidable power.

Lu Yuan knew this was the legendary Fallen Star Guardian Spirit Beast.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a huge transformed spirit beast surged up from the earth.

It was a dragon-shaped spirit beast, tens of meters long, its body covered in scales as hard as iron sand.

It opened its blood‑filled maw, spewing energy intertwining fire and lightning.

"Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation!" Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He seized the moment to coordinate tacitly with Su Liyan, Gu Qingwan, and King Qi, laying down a special formation within the Fallen Star Mine.

As the four, with Lu Yuan as the core, grasped their magical implements and flew into the Star Array, they immediately presented a perfectly natural formation, like five stars hanging high.

The spirit beast charged at the four, unleashing its utmost strength in hopes of subduing them.

But under their vast immortal power, the heavens roiled with rolling thunder and lightning.

This formation was no ordinary one, akin to a Beast Trap Formation tightly guarding the four.

Lu Yuan abruptly brandished the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, a lightning‑like sword arc slashing toward the spirit beast's dragon head.

"Boom—!" The tremendous roar echoed throughout the Fallen Star Mine.

The spirit beast suffered heavy damage and was driven back several paces.

"Continue the siege!" Lu Yuan, not giving them a moment to catch their breath, immediately ordered.

They cooperated perfectly in battle, nimbly dodging the spirit beasts' attacks while displaying their formidable and superb skill and strength.

As the battle continued, Lu Yuan, relying on his rich experience and wisdom, accurately discerned the pattern and weakness of the guardian spirit beast's attacks.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art to demonstrate his ability to cycle the five elements, instantly manipulating fire, water flow, earth and stone, and other elemental powers with ease.

Flames danced, ice and snow condensed, mountains and valleys transformed, as Lu Yuan flickered everywhere, displaying an unbelievable sight.

The spirit beast's dragon head was struck repeatedly, its body continually trembling, like receding waves.

However, just as they thought victory was within reach, a piercing mechanical sound rang out.

"Watch out! There's a trap!" Gu Qingwan warned.

Everyone hastily flew backward, only to see the spikes on the wall suddenly shoot out, forming a huge and deadly net in the air.

"If we get caught in this trap, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

He quickly analyzed and decided to use the Detection Technique to locate the mechanism.

By employing his adept Detection Technique, Lu Yuan quickly discovered that the so-called mechanism device was hidden within the wall.

He immediately commanded Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan to attack and destroy it.

With the mechanism device successfully destroyed, the huge dark net instantly dissipated completely. (End of chapter)
