AST 2077 - The Demon Palace? The Darknight Demon King and the Giant Demon King (1/2)

With a piercing crash, the Nine Continents Mountain flew back and slammed against their bodies, letting out a low sound upon collision. Fortunately, Qing Shui’s defense was strong enough, and Shen Huang had the Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda. Hence, their defense was quite formidable, and they defended the attack without suffering harm.

A line of sweat dripped down Qing Shui’s face. If it wasn’t for the Nine Continents Mountain and if he hadn’t given Shen Huang the Pagoda, he wouldn’t know what would happen to them. It was highly possible that they would perish right away.

Shen Huang was also afraid after being assaulted by the trap. She looked at Qing Shui and said, “You do have quite a number of good items.”

“I don’t have any cards left. If there are any more unexpected situations, I don’t know what we’ll do,” Qing Shui smiled bitterly as he said that.

“I can feel that the strange danger has already dissipated. There shouldn’t be any more surprises. Come on, let’s go!” Shen Huang led the way in.

Naturally, Qing Shui followed behind her, though the two kept a small distance between them. This was because they were both using their own protective arts. Qing Shui was using the 9th Lotus Manifestation Stage, while Shen Huang was using the Flower Storm Strangling Formation, which was much stronger and more terrifying than Qing Shui’s 9th Lotus Manifestation Stage.

The palace doors were still closed. This time, Shen Huang pushed them open.

Creak!

There was this loud, heavy sound coming from the doors, as if the doors were as heavy as ten thousand tons. The two doors were each about 33 meters tall, with a width of 10 meters, and a height of almost a 100 meters. The doors, which were as black as ink, gave off a frightening feeling.

When the doors opened, an uncomfortably pungent odor surged forth. If they hadn’t been cultivators, they would have passed out in that instant, or even died. To a certain degree, this odor was actually slightly toxic.

The palace was very large, with innumerable pillars inside. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground. It was eerily quiet. As Shen Huang was about to enter, Qing Shui stopped her. “Wait, these supporting pillars are probably part of another formation. If you enter, you might dissolve into powder.”

Trembling, Shen Huang brought back the foot that was about to step forth. She wasn’t particularly afraid of death, but she was afraid of being ground to dust.

Scanning the area, they couldn’t see anything other than the pillars. There was nothing else left. Qing Shui kept looking for a while and detected the formation. It was an upgraded version of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Cities Formation, but Qing Shui wasn’t sure of the exact name of the formation.

The Twelve Heavenly Demon Cities Formation was a terrifying formation from the primordial era. This formation was an upgraded version of it, but it was only an upgraded version. In terms of power, Qing Shui felt that it was far from being comparable to the formation from the ancient era.

It was as if the Twelve Heavenly Demon Cities Formation from ancient times was a young man, and the formation in the palace was a toddler. It was like playing house; even if this formation was an upgraded version, it was still just an exceptionally strong toddler, far from a real adult.

If one entered the formation accidentally, you would be drawn into an endless compressed space. Formations were an extremely mystical concept in the Continents. A strong Formation Master could easily devastate a city by setting up a Killing Formation that would destroy everything in the surroundings upon its activation.

Actually, in Qing Shui’s opinion, this formation was simply a Twelve Heavenly Demon Cities Formation.

Qing Shui began to break the formation by destroying the formation’s core. However, by doing so, he was required to enter it first. Although formations were dangerous, they still had their weak points and someone who had a good command of formations could still enter and exit as he pleased. It was impossible for a formation to have no weak points, otherwise, the Formation Master would be unable to activate it.

There had to be a person inside the formation to activate it!
