Chapter 1266 Heaven Flipping Seal
The huge Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet was suspended in the air . Its body was bound tightly by crisscrossing chains .
Even Bao Buping and Chang Hao couldn’t help but get gooseb.u.mps upon seeing how tightly it was bound . The two Ancestral items they had obtained had only been bound by one chain . But the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet had to be bound by thousands of chains .
Furthermore, these chains were tightly knotted to make sure there was no way to undo them . And even if they could be undone, there wasn’t enough time .
During this time, Long Chen had managed to figure out some of the rules of this place . Ordinary Ancestral items would normally hover in the air for a day . Only some of the extremely powerful existences would stay in the air for three days at a time .
But with how many chains were wrapped around the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet and with the thousands of knots they formed, even if no one noticed them, not even thirty days would be enough to free it .
“How are we supposed to release the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet?” asked Bao Buping .
“Directly cut it loose . All we need to do is sever these chains . ” Long Chen slowly took out Blooddrinker .
Bao Buping and Chang Hao couldn’t believe their ears . In their eyes, Long Chen was incredibly smart . Was such a reckless method really his style?
Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Long Chen smiled . “The old man has already said that when intelligence can’t solve things, you’ll need to use power . These chains have tightly bound the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet, and not even a G.o.d would be able to use intelligence to undo them . There’s only one option remaining to us . These chains aren’t exactly metallic, and they’re extremely flexible and tenacious . We’ll need both power and sharpness to sever them . I’ll handle the sharp aspect, and you two handle the power aspect . With the combination of power and sharpness, we should have a ten percent chance of severing these chains . ”
Bao Buping and Chang Hao looked at the thousands of chains on the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet and had no confidence . “Do we really only have a ten percent chance?”
“Ten percent’s already not bad . Sometimes luck is also a kind of power, so let’s see how lucky you are . ” Long Chen intentionally didn’t bring up his luck, because when it came to luck, he would have to rely on them .
“But… what are we supposed to do even if it works? This will definitely alarm those creatures . Long Chen, you should go . You have a brain, and you can definitely escape . The two of us will try to free the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet . If we fall, you’ll still be able to escape with the secrets we learned, so it would still be a success,” said Chang Hao .
Whether they succeeded or not in severing these chains, their chances of actually bringing the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet out of Devil Spirit Mountain were far too low .
But none of them was willing to give up without trying . The Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet was the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s inheritance divine item, and its usage was not limited to just recording the nine forms of Split the Heavens .
Only the complete Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet could bring the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect back to its old peak . This related to the secrets of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect . This was why despite recording what was on it, they still wanted to bring it away .
Right now, they had learned quite a few secrets of Devil Spirit Mountain . Being able to bring out those secrets was a huge victory . They were like a gambler who had already won many chips and was now debating whether to continue with a final gamble . If they lost, they would be left with nothing .
That was why Chang Hao wanted Long Chen to leave first . Even if he and Bao Buping died, their mission would still be a success . But if the three of them died, they would all become unwilling ghosts .
“Don’t worry about it, I’ve already thought of how to get out . None of us will die . Do you think an insignificant Devil Spirit Mountain can make things hard on me?” Long Chen smiled . In truth, he was extremely emotional now .
Bao Buping and Chang Hao were both iron-boned men, true heroes willing to die for their cause . That kind of bearing and aspiration was admirable .
“Prepare yourselves . We have to succeed in one try . ”
Long Chen placed the three of them around the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet . He had already started acc.u.mulating energy, while Bao Buping and Chang Hao solemnly took out their newly-obtained Ancestral items .
Although they were unable to bring out an Ancestral item’s full power, using them would increase the power of their attacks .
“Don’t waste your energy . You won’t succeed . ”
Just at this moment, a voice rang out in their heads, causing them to jump .
“Senior… are you… the divine tablet?” Bao Buping’s voice quivered .
“Yes . Children, you’re very brave and very loyal, and most importantly, you possess brains and brawn . I’m very gratified,” said that voice .
Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s eyes reddened from emotion . Bao Buping’s voice was choked with sobs as he said, “Senior, without you, our Heaven Splitting Battle Sect has already declined to the edge of death . Our inheritance is about to be severed . Please tell us how we can bring you out . Even if it ends up with my body turned to dust, I am willing . ”
The Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet was too important to the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect . It was their only hope .
