Chapter 470

If possible, please senior, tell us how to obtain the 'Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map'.

The old man let out a long sigh: 'As long as you can successfully challenge our Shadow Realm leader and defeat him, perhaps you will have a chance to obtain the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map.'

However, please remember, in this Netherworld Valley, besides the leader there are also hidden endless dangers and trials.

Lu Yuan nodded firmly: 'Please rest assured, we have already made preparations.'

As long as there is an opportunity, we will give our all to challenge that leader.

The sealed one faintly showed appreciation: 'Young people, I believe you will surely pursue victory.'

Although I am physically and mentally exhausted, being able to see again someone bravely pursuing great power with persistence makes me feel relieved.

Lu Yuan felt deeply: 'Senior, may I ask if there are any other matters we should pay attention to?'

The old man pondered for a moment: 'Before entering the place where the leader resides, you must be careful of the surrounding demonic qi.'

This Netherworld Valley is filled with evil spirits and malevolent forces; you must always stay vigilant.

Lu Yuan solemnly nodded: 'We will be careful and cautious.'

Thank you for your guidance, senior.

After saying that, Lu Yuan turned and left the old man; Su Liyan, King Qi, and Gu Qingwan beside him silently followed. After Lu Yuan and the others went deep into the Netherworld Valley, they arrived at the location of the Shadow Realm's leader.

They stood before the former Jiu Zhou Emperor, feeling his powerful aura and oppressive presence.

The Jiu Zhou Emperor wore a splendid Dragon Robe, donned a golden crown, and his majestic aura emanated from him.

His eyes were like hidden vast seas of stars, making one dare not look directly.

Su Liyan slightly tightened her grip on the Ice Crystal Long Whip, Gu Qingwan firmly held the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, King Qi wielded the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, and a sense of confidence and determination shone from their eyes.

Lu Yuan fixed his gaze on the Jiu Zhou Emperor and said: 'We have come to challenge you in order to obtain the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map.'

May I ask if you are willing to accept our challenge?

The Jiu Zhou Emperor glanced at the four-person team, chuckled lightly, and said: 'Young people, you are indeed quite bold.'

But wanting to obtain the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map is not easy.

If you can defeat me, I will give you a clue.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, a firm belief rose in his heart: 'We will never retreat; we will surely defeat you!'

The Jiu Zhou Emperor lightly nodded: 'If so, then let me see your strength.'

The Jiu Zhou Emperor moved his form and instantly vanished from the spot.

In an instant, the Netherworld Valley was filled with strong demonic qi and dark power.

The four held their defensive line, warily scanning their surroundings.

Suddenly, an invisible force surged toward them.

Su Liyan hastily waved the Ice Crystal Long Whip, drawing a beautiful curve in the air.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip turned into a piercing cold wind, freezing that invisible force.

At the same time, Lu Yuan used the Five Elements Escape Technique to transform into water flow to evade the attack, while Gu Qingwan employed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to set up a protective shield.

And King Qi, relying on the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, waved myriad divine lights, shattering several other attacks.

The Jiu Zhou Emperor's eyes flashed with surprise: 'Young people, your strength is indeed not to be underestimated.'

But this is still far from enough.

Just as his words fell, a black-flame long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

The black-flame long sword emitted an ominous, jet-black flame; malice condensed into form, like an incarnate demon.

Lu Yuan tightly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, mobilizing the power hidden deep within his soul sea.

Thunderlight gathered in his hand, within which dwelled the fire of the nether rain.

He swung the thunder-fire sword to slash out; thunderlight collided with the black flame, producing a thunderclap.

Gu Qingwan then stepped into the void to fly, forming a fantastical, splendid rune formation in the air.

She controlled the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin to release the utmost pure magical power, causing the Netherworld Valley to bloom with a sky-covering, earth-shading scarlet lotus flower.

Su Liyan drove the Ice Crystal Long Whip to turn into streaks of cold light stabbing toward the Jiu Zhou Emperor.

The Jiu Zhou Emperor's form flickered, he closed in on Su Liyan, and with his black-flame long sword he struck down fiercely, completely surrounding Su Liyan.

Lu Yuan hastily employed the Detection Technique, instantly understanding the Jiu Zhou Emperor's attack method and weakness.

He tightly gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, transforming into a bolt of lightning like a light piercing through ten thousand troops, flashing a rosy glow beside Su Liyan, and the Jiu Zhou Emperor's attack was precisely blocked.

The Jiu Zhou Emperor felt the pressure, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes: 'It seems you still have some weight.'

Lu Yuan closed his eyes tightly, his whole body's muscles tensed: 'We have only just begun!'

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand released endless thunderfire power, scorching the black-flame long sword.

Lu Yuan launched an offensive; the thunder-fire sword flickered forth, like a blade's edge, slashing toward the Jiu Zhou Emperor.

Gu Qingwan, Su Liyan, and King Qi also exerted their full strength to oppose the Jiu Zhou Emperor, cooperating with flawless tacit understanding.

After intense fighting, the four-person team finally defeated the Jiu Zhou Emperor.

The Jiu Zhou Emperor watched the four's backs as they drew deep breaths, slightly nodded: 'You indeed cooperate tacitly; your strength is not to be underestimated.'

Lu Yuan turned to face the Jiu Zhou Emperor sincerely: 'May I ask if you could tell us the clue about the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map?'

The Jiu Zhou Emperor took a deep breath, his expression serious: 'In ancient times, there was an immortal maiden who, using the power of the Five Elements and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, created a secret method.'

She incorporated the world's most profound immortal arts into it, forming the clue of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map.

This secret method was scattered among five seals.

Su Liyan curiously asked: 'Then where are these seals?'

How should we seek them?

The Jiu Zhou Emperor smiled and said: 'You need to find five scattered immortal souls.'

Each fragment of immortal soul possesses unique memories and clues; only by gathering all immortal souls and passing the corresponding tests can the seal be undone.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan and the others were full of confidence.

They knew that as long as they found the five scattered immortal souls and passed the test, they could obtain the "Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map," thereby gaining unprecedented powerful power. Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the star compass before him.

A surge of anticipation rose in his heart; this mysterious instrument is the key to solving the riddle of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Treasure Map.

He took a deep breath and focused his spirit.

Su Liyan walked up to Lu Yuan's side and said softly, "We need to find where the star compass might appear in order to continue forward."

King Qi stood upright behind them, furrowed his brows and said, "Every place nearby could hide clues; we need to investigate carefully."

Gu Qingwan then opened the crystal mirror disk in the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin and placed it on her palm.

She took a deep breath, focused her gaze on the scene reflected within the mirror disk, and said, "Through magical sensing, I have detected several suspicious areas." (End of chapter)
