Chapter 581: The Key to Power

Lu Yuan raised his hand and lightly brushed; the runes within turned with his touch.

Finally, a door slowly opened.

Everyone entered the door together, and their view suddenly opened up.

The ancient relic hidden deep within the Azurefall Mountain Cave Dwelling finally appeared before them, and the long-dormant treasures and knowledge were about to be unveiled.

A stronger thirst for knowledge burned in everyone's hearts. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan stood close together, gazing at the sight before them.

Inside the Phantom Crystal Palace, a splendid starry sky scene appeared, starlight hazily falling, giving a mysterious and solemn feeling.

The Starry River Divine Chain hovered in midair, like a huge beam of silver light, emitting an immensely powerful energy fluctuation.

Lu Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation and longing.

He knew the Starry River Divine Chain was the key to obtaining power, and finding it in this ancient relic would be an opportunity to break through his own strength.

He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the Starry River Divine Chain.

Su Liyan, however, remained calm and vigilant, always ready to support Lu Yuan.

She gripped her Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, a chill spreading as she gazed thoughtfully at her surroundings.

Zi Xi'er beside her was no exception, feeling a demonic energy fill the illusory crystal palace.

She looked around, trying to find some clue.

Suddenly, her eyes lingered on a blurry illusion—it was a faint magical rune.

"Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, I've found a clue."

Zi Xi'er said mysteriously.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan quickly turned their heads, gazing in the direction Zi Xi'er pointed.

Only see a blob of hazy light appear on the wall, faintly flickering with a pale magical rune.

"What is this?" Su Liyan asked curiously.

Zi Xi'er smiled faintly, lightly extending a finger to touch the rune on the wall.

The Phantom Crystal Palace interior instantly trembled, and a passage hidden around the Starry River Divine Chain opened.

Everyone entered the passage and arrived at the area where the Starry River Divine Chain was located. The Starry River Divine Chain emitted a dazzling silver light, standing out especially in the dim space.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan tightly circled the Starry River Divine Chain, their eyes fixed on it, ready for battle.

"Guard the Starry River Divine Chain well." Lu Yuan reminded solemnly.

Su Liyan nodded, gathering ice immortal power and winding it around the Starry River Divine Chain to form an impregnable ice wall.

Zi Xi'er also released her power, strengthening Su Liyan's defense. At that moment, cult forces from the Black Wind Cave Heaven, Red Lotus Sect, and Blood Moon Sect joined together to surround the Azurefall Mountain area.

Having learned that this place hid an ancient relic, they gathered here, intending to seize all its treasures.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked side by side, cooperating tacitly to oppose the enemy.

Zi Xi'er, meanwhile, laid out a mysterious battle formation around them to support her teammates.

Mo Di transformed into a dragon form, circling in the air and exhaling dragon breath.

"Lu Yuan! A powerful magical force has appeared on the left!"

Su Liyan warned.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, his eyes locked on the enemy.

"I'll deal with them!"

Mo Di shouted loudly, transforming into a huge dragon and lunging at the cult forces.

Mo Di's dragon body coiled in midair, letting out a deafening roar and spewing torrents of flame and icy breath from its massive maw.

These cultists from the Black Wind Cave Heaven and Red Lotus Sect, though strong, were still shaken by Mo Di's dragon breath and fell back.

"Zi Xi'er, now is the time!" Lu Yuan calmly ordered.

Zi Xi'er furrowed her brows tightly, beginning to unleash the immortal arts in her hands.

She waved her fingers repeatedly, ancient incantations spilling from her mouth.

A strange magical formation appeared beneath her feet, emitting a faint blue light.

Ice and frost surged from the magical formation, swiftly rushing toward the cult forces.

The flames were scorching and fierce, the frost's chill spreading deadly.

The cult forces had nowhere to escape, wailing incessantly under the intertwining of fire and ice.

They were repeatedly gravely wounded, morale plummeting.

"Impossible! How could we possibly be defeated by them?!"

A cult leader shouted in terror.

Lu Yuan looked at all this and nodded in satisfaction.

Now is the moment for their counterattack!

He raised his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword high, controlling the lightning flowing with electric current within the blade.

Su Liyan also uttered a low incantation, her Ice Crystal Long Whip quickly solidifying in her hand.

She gripped the whip tightly, ready to unleash a deadly strike.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan moved as shadow and follow, transforming into a bolt of lightning and ice shards, rushing toward the cult leaders and others.

Sword light flashed, the chill biting.

Lu Yuan's thunder-fire sword pierced the chest of one cult leader, while Su Liyan's Ice Crystal Long Whip froze another cult leader into an ice sculpture.

The cult forces still fighting, seeing this, all collapsed and fled in disarray.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Lu Yuan bellowed, controlling thunderous power to form the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

Zi Xi'er also joined the battle, laying out a mysterious and deadly formation around them.

These cultists had nowhere to hide, collapsing amidst layers of fire and ice. Lu Yuan gazed at the battlefield before him; the forces of the Black Wind Cave Heaven and the Evil Cult Alliance had been utterly crushed, leaving only peace.

He felt a surge of triumph in his chest, and confidence and heroism showed in his brows.

He was grateful to have such powerful teammates, not letting down their expectations.

Su Liyan felt the whole battlefield calm down, and she let out a breath of relief.

She looked at Lu Yuan, her heart filled with admiration.

Although she was merely providing auxiliary support, she knew she had played an important role in the battle.

She recalled Zi Xi'er's deceptive battle formation, and couldn't help but smile and nod.

Zi Xi'er gazed at the battlefield before her, a faint smile appearing on her face.

She felt her plans had taken effect, providing crucial support to her teammates in this battle.

She knew she played an important role in Lu Yuan's team, her heart calm and satisfied.

Mo Di unfurled his dragon wings, circling in the sky.

He felt proud and gratified, as if displaying the dignity of the Dragon Clan.

He deeply understood his relationship with Lu Yuan and the others—they were both friends and teammates, sharing a common goal and mission.

"This was truly a splendid battle!"

Lu Yuan spoke confidently, victory flickering in his gaze.

"We successfully crushed the Black Wind Cave Heaven and the Evil Cult Alliance, securing an important victory."

Su Liyan nodded with a smile: "Yes, in this battle we united as one, displaying great strength and combat power."

Zi Xi'er also joined the conversation, saying satisfiedly: "In this battle, my deceptive battle formation played a crucial role."

"I feel very satisfied."

Mo Di said calmly: "After defeating the evil cult forces, we have become their nightmare."(End of chapter)
