Nirvana Slaughter Formation

The fragment before them was very large, even larger than the Wind Thunder Manor. Moreover, the gravity on it was also much stronger than the fragment that was several zhang in size.

After landing on the fragment, Zhuo Wen looked around and found that there were broken walls everywhere, and there were layers of ruins.

Zhuowen could even see the various traces of the ruins. It was not difficult for him to discern the grandeur of the ruins in the past.

Xiao Hei jumped down from Zhuowen's shoulder. She stretched out her little paws and touched the ground under her feet. She said in a deep voice, "It's been so many years, but the fragment hasn't moved too far. It's just that the changes inside are quite big."

At this point, Xiao Hei formed a seal with its tiny claws and slowly closed its eyes. Approximately five breaths later, it suddenly opened its eyes and called out to Zhuowen before flying off in a certain direction.

After about an incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Hei stopped in front of a basin. The shape of this basin was very strange. It was actually in the shape of a footprint, as if this basin had been created by a giant beast.

Xiao Hei stood at the entrance of the basin, his eyes flashing. He said in a low voice, "So it still exists. This ancient restriction formation is called the Nirvana Slaughter Formation. It is an extremely terrifying formation. Even Earthly Immortals might die if they enter this formation. It was very famous in ancient times."

Having said that, Xiao Hei examined the surroundings of the basin for a long time before nodding in satisfaction, "After such a long period of time, the Nirvana Slaughter Formation hasn't been damaged too badly. It shouldn't be too weak. Let's enter the basin and silently wait for Lei Qingtian and Jiang Zuomei."

Xiao Hei glanced at Zhuowen, and then it tapped out repeatedly with its little claws. Instantly, the restriction ripples surrounding the entrance of the basin dispersed, and a passageway as tall as a person appeared.

Xiao Hei called out and led Zhuowen into the basin.

The sky above the basin was filled with lingering fog. It looked gray and hazy, like a cloudy day.

When they arrived at the center of the basin, Zhuowen discovered that there was actually an ancient temple at the center of the basin. Due to the passage of time, this ancient temple was completely dilapidated. Even the eaves above had many holes.

"Kid, this ancient temple existed in this basin back then. There are some notes and insights of an alchemist who specialized in ancient restrictions. If you want them, this dragon lord can help you get them," Xiao Hei said to Zhuowen.

Zhuowen's Xiao Hei Editor: Chrissy Translation Formation. He said to Xiao Hei, "Of course I want them!

My Spirit Avatar just so happens to lack experience and knowledge regarding restrictions. Once I comprehend it, I may be able to advance to the Profound Saint Master realm. "

Xiao Hei nodded, and then it turned into a streak of black light and entered the ancient temple.

Not long after, Xiao Hei rushed out of the ancient temple with a crystal skull in its hand. Then it casually tossed the crystal skull to Zhuowen and said, "The things are all in here. You can study them well. They will be quite beneficial to your mental power."

After receiving the crystal skull, Zhuowen casually looked through it. The more he looked, the more excited he became. This crystal skull recorded in detail an ancient restriction called the Devouring Curse Restriction.

The so-called ancient restriction was different from the restriction techniques of this era. Its full name was the Ancient Restriction Technique. Due to the disaster ten thousand years ago, most of the Ancient Restriction Techniques had been lost. Thus, the Arcanists of this era who cultivated mental power created the method of constructing Origin Formations using Origin Crystals.

However, the Ancient Restriction Technique didn't need to be like this. The Ancient Restriction Technique was a powerful restriction technique that used mental power to quickly arrange a powerful Origin Formation. However, this method required a huge amount of mental power, and ordinary Arcanists couldn't bear it.

However, Zhuowen was different. He cultivated the Myriad Evolution Scripture, and his mental power was originally much greater than that of ordinary Arcanists. Thus, it was quite suitable for him to cultivate the Ancient Restriction Technique.

Moreover, the Devouring Curse Restriction was one of the top Ancient Restrictions. It included both the activation of restrictions and the breaking of restrictions. It could be said that it was broad, profound, and obscure.

However, Zhuowen believed that once he mastered the Devouring Curse Restriction, most of the restrictions in the Shattered Elephant Abyss wouldn't be able to do anything to him. He might even be able to rely on the Devouring Curse Restriction to comprehend some things and break through to the Profound Saint Master realm.

Thinking of this, Zhuowen summoned his mental power doppelganger and tossed the crystal skull to it, while he silently observed the surroundings of the basin.

"This basin is very large. I wonder if there are any other good things in it?"

Zhuowen glanced at the ancient temple, but he didn't plan on entering it. Before, Xiao Hei had been extremely cautious before entering the ancient temple. He knew that the ancient temple wasn't simple. With his current strength, it was best not to rashly take risks.

"Kid, the area within a thousand meters of the ancient temple is safe. However, you must not go beyond that, or you will be killed." Xiao Hei saw through Zhuowen's intentions and couldn't help but remind him.

Zhuowen nodded, then looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Xiao Hei, you are familiar with this place. Are there any other good things in this basin?"

Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "There is nothing else in this basin. The only thing that exists is this ancient temple. However, there are several ancient restrictions outside the basin."

"However, the ancient restrictions in those places are even more powerful than the ones in this basin. Back then, this Lord Dragon's injuries were too severe and my strength was insufficient, so I was unable to forcefully blast open those ancient restrictions. Furthermore, those restrictions were too complicated, so this Lord Dragon found it difficult to break through them.

Speaking of this, Xiao Hei glanced at Zhuowen's mental power doppelganger and said, "If this doppelganger of yours can completely comprehend the Devouring Curse Restriction, it might be possible to break those ancient restrictions together with this dragon lord. However, right now, it is simply impossible."

Zhuowen immediately became dejected when he heard that. He glanced at his doppelganger and curled his lips, "Looks like I can only concentrate on cultivating the Devouring Curse Restriction first. Also, if I can comprehend the laws of the fourth restriction during this period of time, I'll be able to draw out the first mountain god. With the first mountain god here, things won't become so complicated."

With that thought, Zhuowen sat down near his doppelganger and silently breathed in the dense energy of the world.

After all, the fragment continent was the main battlefield of the great battle back then. The energy here was far denser than the outside world. Even though much of the energy had dissipated due to its destruction, it was still much denser than the central lands.

Time passed slowly. Very soon, half a year had passed. During this time, the fragment continent was extremely quiet. Zhuowen and his doppelganger basically cultivated here.

On this day, two figures flew to the fragment continent side by side. One of them was an old man with white hair and a beard, and lightning flashed on his body. The other was a middle-aged man in a white robe with a scholarly face.

The two of them were Lei Qingtian and Jiang Zuomei, who had been searching for Zhuowen in the Shattered Nightmare Abyss. For the past half a year, the two of them had been searching in this void. They had passed by fragment continent after fragment continent, but they couldn't find any trace of Zhuowen.

"This fragment continent is really big. It's the biggest one we've seen in the past half a year!" Jiang Zuomei narrowed her eyes and said plainly.

"Indeed. I just don't know if that little bastard Zhuowen exists in this fragment continent." Lei Qingtian said in a deep voice.

The two of them talked for a while and finally decided to split up and search the fragment continent. After all, the fragment continent was too big. If the two of them searched together, it would take too much time.

Jiang Zuomei went to the east, while Lei Qingtian went to the west. The west where Lei Qingtian went was the direction of the basin where Zhuowen was.

Lei Qingtian searched very carefully. After about four hours, he arrived at the basin with the shape of a beast's footprint.

"There's a seal here. Where there's a seal in the Shattered Nightmare Abyss, there's basically a treasure. Maybe there's something good in here."

Looking at the seal on the basin, Lei Qingtian wasn't surprised. Instead, he was happy. In the past half a year, Lei Qingtian and Jiang Zuomei had seen ruins with seals.

Although Lei Qingtian and Jiang Zuomei couldn't break most of the ancient seals, they could break some of the weaker seals or incomplete seals that were more powerful. They also obtained some good stuff from inside.

Therefore, when Lei Qingtian felt the fluctuation of the seal in the basin, his eyes lit up.

Walking to the entrance of the basin, Lei Qingtian stretched out his right hand. Suddenly, he was bounced back by an invisible ripple. His eyes were filled with surprise.

"There really is a seal. Moreover, this seal is extraordinary. If I were to enter the basin, I might be able to obtain some good stuff."

Speaking of this, Lei Qingtian let out a long roar. His right hand turned into a blade, and terrifying thunderbolts swept out from his body, manifesting into a huge thunder blade. Then, the thunder blade left his hand and directly blasted on the restriction.

Rumble!

The seal shook violently. Immediately, the lightning blade collapsed. Then, an invisible fluctuation bounced back and swept toward Lei Qingtian.

Lei Qingtian's face changed slightly. He roared and clenched his right hand. Lightning condensed into an extremely powerful lightning shield in front of him.

Bang!

This wave directly shattered the lightning shield, while Lei Qingtian spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. His eyes were filled with shock. Isn't this restriction a little too terrifying?

At this moment, Zhuowen, who was sitting cross-legged in the basin, suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Hei also floated out from his shoulder. It grinned and said, "Lei Qingtian, that old man is here. I didn't expect that instead of us taking the initiative to lure him here, he would take the initiative to court death."

"Then, how do we lure this old man into the formation?" Zhuowen asked.
