Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1298 Ancient Ruins

Half an hour passed, the stone gate remained motionless, and beads of sweat began to seep out of Lu Chen's forehead.

This scene made Yongle Immortal Venerable feel secretly delighted. He couldn't help but sneer:

"How is it? Do you find that your ability is not enough? I don't think you are good enough either, fellow Taoist. Some people are just good for show."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen turned his head abruptly, his eyes like lightning, staring directly at Yongle Immortal Venerable, and sternly scolded him, "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will quit. At worst, we can just break up."

Immortal Yongle was speechless after being shouted at by Lu Chen, and could only retreat to the side in disappointment.

However, just as he was about to continue watching coldly, he suddenly heard a slight ripple sound coming from the stone gate.

Immediately afterwards, a tiny crack appeared on the stone gate and quickly spread.

With a crisp "click", the entire stone door slowly opened as if it was gently pushed open by an invisible big hand.

A vast aura gushed out from behind the stone door, instantly filling the entire space. Yongle Immortal Venerable widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock:

"This... this is the aura of ancient ruins, not an ordinary immortal treasure."

Lu Chen stood at the door, feeling the ancient and powerful aura, and his heart was also excited.

He knew that the secrets hidden here far exceeded their expectations. But now was not the time to sigh. He turned to look at Master Qingxu and said with a smile, "Master, this is your chance. Let's go in quickly!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation and anticipation crossed Qingxu Zhenren's face. She took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, then nodded and quickly walked into the stone gate.

Lu Chen and Yongle Immortal Venerable followed closely behind, and the three of them stepped into a huge cave together. The cave was filled with a faint halo, as if the stars in the night sky were embedded in the walls.

There are all kinds of treasures placed around, ranging from ancient scrolls and magic weapons to minerals shining with strange light.

However, the most eye-catching thing is a huge stone platform standing in the center of the cave. On the platform is an ancient box with complex runes engraved on the surface, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

This breath made the three people present feel a palpitation in their hearts, and it also indicated that the things hidden in this box were extraordinary.

A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of Yongle Immortal, but he quickly concealed this emotion.

Lu Chen has been paying attention to the actions of Yongle Immortal Venerable. If he dares to do anything, Lu Chen doesn't mind slapping him to death.

However, what surprised Lu Chen was that Yongle Immortal Venerable's greedy eyes flashed away, and then he turned his head and forced a smile and said:

"My fellow Daoist, since you can open the stone door, according to our previous agreement, you should first choose two treasures."

"I didn't expect that you are a trustworthy person. I am impressed by you." Lu Chen praised.

"Do you think I want to? It's my fault that I can't beat you." As early as when he shared the incomplete map with Lu Chen, Immortal Yongle had already vaguely realized that Lu Chen's strength was unfathomable.

In addition to the fact that Lu Chen broke the formation twice, and he suddenly remembered that Lu Chen was the person ordered to be captured by the various Immortal Emperors, he became more certain of this idea.

Just imagine, how could a person who is coveted by a group of Immortal Emperors and yet still alive and well be an ordinary person? He even guessed that Lu Chen deliberately concealed his cultivation level and was actually a powerful Immortal Emperor.

When Lu Chen heard this, he did not respond immediately, but slowly walked towards the stone platform, carefully observing every detail on it.

His gaze finally stopped on the quaint box, and he suddenly had a strong intuition in his heart - the things inside must be extraordinary.

The surface of the box was covered with a faint halo, and it was obvious that a powerful restriction had been set up.

Then, Lu Chen took a deep breath and began to practice the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.

As the technique was practiced, a gentle yet powerful force surged out of his body and slowly poured into the box.

As the power permeated, those complex runes gradually became clearer.

The air around seemed to become heavy because of this force, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

Lu Chen concentrated his mind and carefully removed each restriction. Every step required extreme precision and patience.

Just as the last rune dissipated, the box shook slightly, indicating that it had finally released all its seals.

Just as Lu Chen was about to open the box, suddenly, a black shadow rushed out like lightning and headed straight for the Immortal Yongle who was not far away.

The speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up with. It arrived in almost the blink of an eye.

Immortal Yongle's expression suddenly changed when he saw this. He quickly used teleportation to try to avoid it, but unexpectedly found himself bound by an invisible force and unable to move.

This sudden change surprised Lu Chen and True Man Qingxu.

Seeing that the black shadow was about to approach the body of Yongle Immortal.

At this critical moment, Lu Chen was quick-witted and quick-handed, and immediately mobilized the rich immortal energy in his body. Under his control, these immortal energies quickly condensed into an indestructible barrier, like a solid wall of iron and steel, trapping the black shadow tightly inside, making it unable to escape.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen decisively sacrificed the Samadhi True Fire without any hesitation.

The Samadhi True Fire is the purest and most terrifying flame in the universe, with the power to burn immortals and destroy gods.

In an instant, a brilliant flame with purple in black and blue in purple swallowed up the black shadow.

The next second, the black shadow struggled desperately in the flames, emitting bursts of shrill and horrifying screams, as if it was enduring endless pain and torture.

However, the power of the Samadhi True Fire was too strong. No matter how the black shadow struggled, it could not break free from the flames.

After a fierce struggle, the shadow's voice quickly became weaker and eventually disappeared completely. The flames also gradually subsided and returned to calm.

At this moment, Immortal Yongle was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

With his eyesight, he could see that the black shadow was a remnant soul. The one that could appear here should be a remnant soul from ancient times.

If Lu Chen had not rescued him in time, he would have been possessed by that remnant soul, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Chen with a bit more admiration and sincerity in his eyes, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. I, Qian Yongle, will remember your kindness today. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Lu Chen smiled slightly. After a brief contact, he felt that Qian Yongle was a good person, at least he didn't have any bad intentions, so he responded with a smile:

"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Qian. It's just a small favor. I guess the biggest danger here is that remnant soul. Now you can distribute those things."

As he spoke, Lu Chen pointed to the treasures placed around him.

Upon hearing this, True Man Qingxu and Immortal Venerable Yongle immediately took action.

Lu Chen came to the stone platform again. After the twists and turns just now, he became more curious about the things in the box...
