Chapter 1280

In a huge underground palace in the center of the palaces.

"The layout of this place is obviously a mausoleum."

"There are no malicious spirits here. The person buried here is likely to be the previous owner of this place."

The three from the Heaven's Legacy Race conversed softly.

This place was cold and eerie, and the darkness seemed to hide unknown dangers. However, the three's eyes were filled with greed, and their hearts beat faster.

The three from the Heaven's Legacy Race arrived at the center.

There was a tall platform made of pitch-black boulders, and a ten-meter-long coffin was placed on it.

"Stop."

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord suddenly spoke, and the other two from the Heaven's Legacy Race stopped immediately.

"There are mechanisms and array formations on this platform … Moreover, the danger here is unknown. Let's retreat further and let the mechanical puppets do the job."

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord ordered.

The three immediately retreated to the edge of the underground palace. Each of them controlled a mechanical puppet to approach the platform and begin breaking the array formations.

Time passed slowly. The three from the Heaven's Legacy Race focused on controlling the mechanical puppets to break the array formations on the platform one by one.

At a certain moment, the array patterns on the platform distorted and shot out a blue icy light that froze everything.

One of the mechanical puppets was instantly frozen by the blue icy light. After a breath's time, it shattered and turned into a pile of ice shards.

This scene shocked the Purple Cloud Thearch Lord and the others.

Fortunately, the array formations were successfully broken.

Boom!

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord controlled a silver mechanical puppet to release Astral Source Holy Power and slowly opened the lid of the coffin.

The moment a small crack appeared on the coffin, a dazzling treasure aura burst out.

Following that, a sinister Soul Dao aura rushed out. It was terrifying, and the souls of the three from the Heaven's Legacy Race felt suppressed.

"Sky Crystal Ore!"

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord could not contain his excitement.

It turned out that the silver mechanical puppet she controlled had seen through the small crack that there was a dark silver crystal inside the coffin.

"Indeed, there is the treasure that I desire here!"

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord was extremely excited. Before exploring this place, she had made a divination.

The Sky Crystal Ore was an extremely precious water-attribute ore that could be used to refine top-tier mystic artifacts.

The Purple Cloud Thearch Lord wanted to use this ore to refine a mechanical puppet with superb defense.

Given the grade of this Celestial Crystal Ore, the mechanical puppet refined from it wouldn't even fear a peak late-stage Mysterious Underworld expert's attack.

Apart from the Sky Water Crystal mine, the Purple Cloud Emperor Lord also discovered traces of other treasures.

At the same time, she saw a ball of ghostly blue mist, and a pair of evil blood-red eyes suddenly appeared within it.

The silver mechanical puppet's soul suddenly felt a strong pressure, causing it to tremble all over.

The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord also felt a strong sense of danger through the silver mechanical puppet.

"Retreat!"

As she gave the mechanical marionette the order, she retreated.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm finally out!"

A cold and gloomy voice rang out, and the ghostly blue mist drifted out from the crack of the coffin, turning into a giant shadow that was over a thousand feet tall, and opened its mouth and grinned hideously.

An enormous and shocking aura erupted from his body. It even contained a sliver of supreme divine power, causing the entire palace to sink into a suffocating pressure.

Hu chi!

A dark blue shadow flashed, and like a huge sinister ghost claw, it pierced through the escaping silver mechanical puppet.

Kacha!

In an instant, the silver mechanical puppet was torn to shreds.

"Lord Purple Cloud's mechanical puppet has the powerful strength of a late-stage Mysterious Underworld expert, but it actually …"

A middle-aged man from the Heaven's Legacy Race swallowed his saliva.

He would probably be in an even worse state if that attack had landed on him.

"Damn it. The expert buried here was unwilling to die. His remnant consciousness, along with the other treasures in the coffin, condensed into a special form of energy …"

The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord gritted her teeth.

That special form of energy was similar to a vengeful ghost condensed from a corpse, but it was even more powerful and contained a demigod-level intent.

Given the strength of the three of them, they wouldn't be able to contend against the "dark blue shadow."

The three of them had just escaped underground when they encountered a team of four people. The leader was a white-bearded elder from the Cloud Dragon Race.

"Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

The white-bearded elder asked when he saw that something was wrong with the Heaven's Legacy Race.

"I was about to look for helpers to cooperate with. I wonder if anyone from the Cloud Dragon Race has the guts?"

The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.

When the Cloud Dragon Race team arrived, they also smelled danger. The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord's words confirmed their guess. Such a sincere attitude meant that the possibility of cooperation was higher.

The white-bearded elder's powerful spiritual consciousness entered the underground palace. When he sensed the situation inside, his expression instantly became grave.

Even if they worked together with the Heaven's Legacy Race, they weren't very confident that they could take all the benefits here.

However, no one was willing to leave just like that.

"Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord, what do you think are the chances of us winning if we work together?"

The white-bearded elder asked.

"If both sides don't hide their strength and attack with full force, there is a seventy percent chance of success."

The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord pondered for two breaths.

In truth, she couldn't be certain unless she had enough time to perform a divination.

"Alright."

The white-bearded elder agreed!

After the two teams made their preparations, they once again returned underground.

The dark blue shadow was sitting cross-legged on the coffin, and a crystal trident floated in front of it. A violent and powerful water aura surged in all directions.

The dark blue shadow was actually refining a supreme-grade profound artifact!

"Do it!"

The two teams reached an agreement.

The dark blue shadow gave them an extremely dangerous aura. If the other party successfully refined that supreme-grade profound artifact, wouldn't it become even more powerful?

"I let you guys off, but you came back recklessly!"

The dark blue shadow's face was cold, and its blood-red eyes surged with a powerful soul aura. It was cold and sinister, like an ice storm that bombarded everyone's soul.

The white-bearded elder, who was at the peak late-stage Mysterious Underworld Realm, also felt extreme pressure from this soul aura, and his face turned pale.

The dark blue shadow's cultivation was also at the peak late-stage Mysterious Underworld Realm, but it contained a demigod-level intent, so it was able to suppress the white-bearded elder.

The rest of the people, whose cultivation was lower than the white-bearded elder, retreated even further to protect their Star Souls.

The white-bearded elder shouted and took out an ancient white mirror. The mirror shone with a pure, holy radiance that shone in all directions.

Under the radiance of the ancient white mirror, the evil ghost aura on the dark blue shadow was suppressed, and its soul aura weakened slightly.

"It's the Cloud Light Mirror!"

The Purple Cloud Sovereign Lord's expression softened.

The Cloud Light Mirror was a supreme-grade profound artifact that could restrain evil ghost dao, and it could be used here.

"Cloud Breath!"

The white-bearded elder used a powerful Cloud Dragon Race battle technique and spat out a ball of white light that instantly expanded and enveloped the dark blue shadow.

The entire underground palace was gradually filled with a white mist.

This strange mist could interfere with soul power and disrupt Astral Sacred Energy. This was also a special ability of the Cloud Dragon Race.

The dark blue shadow was currently refining the profound artifact, and it frowned when it was greatly disturbed.

"All of you, die!"

The Astral Source Holy Energy burst forth and turned into a cold icy light, rushing out in an incomparably violent manner.

Mysterious Underworld experts relied on their soul intent to attack, so they could multitask. While refining the profound artifact, the dark blue shadow could also attack.

A faint ripple came from the wall at the entrance of the underground palace.

The Cloud Dragon Race and the Heaven's Legacy Race didn't realize that the Stone Race had also arrived and was hiding here.

In some special places, the Stone Race's disguise was extremely difficult to see through.

"I wonder what treasure is hidden in that coffin."

"There's definitely a great treasure. Otherwise, why would the Heaven's Legacy Race and the Cloud Dragon Race take such a risk?"

"This Thearch Lord of the Cloud Dragon Race is also very powerful. Without him as the main force, there's no chance of victory even if we work together with the Heaven's Legacy Race."

There were three members of the Stone Race hiding here. They discussed while observing the battle.

"Let them stall for time. It's best if both sides are injured before we make a move."

The leader of the Stone Race team, the Earth Fire Thearch Lord, said.

The Earth Fire Thearch Lord's cultivation was also at the late-stage Mysterious Underworld realm.

One of the Stone Face Race members with stronger senses suddenly felt a life aura.

Then, he saw a tiny drop of blood flash in front of him.

A drop of blood?

Did it come from one of the Thearch Lords who was injured during the battle?

The Stone Face Race member was at the mid-stage Mysterious Underworld realm. He didn't dare to fully release his spiritual sense in case the Cloud Dragon Race, the Heaven's Legacy Race, or the dark blue shadow noticed and exposed his identity.

On the other side...

Chen Yu saw the situation in the underground palace through the Blood God clone.

That drop of blood was formed by the Blood God clone.

"The battle won't end in a short time."

Chen Yu entered the Heavenly Quiet Feather. Due to the close distance, he could still observe the battle through the Blood God clone, but it wasn't as clear.

Chen Yu began to cultivate in the Heavenly Quiet Feather.

While he was nurturing the Blood God clone, he couldn't neglect his own cultivation.

There were Demigod level competitors in this secret realm. Fortunately, Chen Yu hadn't met any yet.

Currently, Chen Yu mainly cultivated the Black Tortoise Sea Suppressing Arm to increase his physical strength and survivability.

After a while.

"Kekeke, die!"

The dark blue shadow sitting on the coffin suddenly stood up. It held an ice crystal trident and released a terrifying cold ghost aura.

Bang!

A dark blue crystal light flashed through the air and shattered the white-bearded elder's defense. He was sent flying and spat out blood.

"It's refined so quickly?"

The yellow-robed man from the Cloud Dragon Race was shocked.

"This monster's aura is similar to the aura of the Xuan Artifact's previous owner. The refining speed is much faster."

The Purple Cloud Imperial Lord figured it out.

After refining this supreme-grade Xuan Artifact, the strength of the dark blue shadow was close to the Demigod level!

The situation was getting worse for them!

Swish!

A drop of blood suddenly sprang up and fled.

The dark blue shadow frowned. What was that?

Swoosh! Bang!

A ray of holy power shot out from his body and hit the wall at the exit, setting off a loud noise.

"Ah …"

At the same time, three Stone Race members were exposed!

"Stone Race?"

The Cloud Dragon Race and the Heaven's Legacy Race were slightly surprised. Apparently, they hadn't discovered the Stone Race hiding nearby.

The dark blue shadow's face was cold. He didn't expect to attract another group of enemies.

"We've been exposed!"

The Earth Fire Imperial Lord shook his head slightly and flew out. "Everyone, let's work together."

The Stone Face Race member in the team pondered.

They seemed to have been accidentally exposed just now, but in his opinion, the main reason seemed to be that strange drop of blood.
