Luring the snake out of its hole
Standing on this lonely peak, Zhuo Wen felt a unique sense of aloofness. Although this peak was lonely, it was extremely prideful in its bones. It did not associate with the other mountains, nor did it accompany the birds. From beginning to end, it was only a lonely peak. However, the pride in its bones made Zhuo Wen feel deep respect for it.
"The lone peak does not mix with the other mountains. It soars into the clouds with unending momentum."
Involuntarily, a poem like that gradually appeared in Zhuowen's head. The poem appeared out of nowhere. It rang out in his head faintly, as if someone was murmuring it by his ear.
Zhuo Wen slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze suddenly landed on the painting before him. Just now, he had been affected by the artistic conception of the painting, and as a result, he felt as if he was standing on top of the lonely peak, experiencing the feeling of being on top.
"The Lone Peak!"
Zhuowen murmured. A sliver of excitement appeared in his eyes. He had never thought that the immortal technique in his sea of consciousness would be hidden in an inconspicuous painting.
"The immortal technique you've obtained probably isn't simple. Moreover, the Lone Peak doesn't have an extremely low requirement like the Finger of Hell that you cultivate. It's very difficult to use this technique without the support of Celestial Energy. However, you have a hundred and fifty thousand Celestial Crystals and Lei Qingtian's soul, so you should be able to use it, just barely," said Xiao Hei.
Zhuowen nodded. Afterwards, his consciousness swept out from his storage crystal. At the same time, he took out the painting.
Zhuo Wen's eyes flickered as he stared at the ink painting in his hand. He said in a deep voice, "In any case, I'm not in a hurry. I'll cultivate this immortal art first. I wonder how powerful it is."
With that, Zhuowen sat on the ground with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Lone Peak silently. Zhuowen cultivated like that for three whole months.
Three months later, Zhuowen slowly stood up. With a flick of his right hand, he immediately took out ten Celestial Crystals and crushed them. Strands of Celestial Energy were absorbed by him through the Devouring Curse. Afterwards, he immediately used the Lone Peak.
Immediately, the Celestial Energy turned into a spiral and condensed into a ten-meter-tall lone peak. The lone peak was filled with a strong sense of aloofness.
As soon as the lone peak appeared, a terrifying force swept out like a storm. With Zhuowen as the center, it swept in all directions.
Crack!
When the force spread to the nine palaces, the nine palaces seemed to be unable to withstand the force of the force and collapsed into dust.
"This Lone Peak Immortal Technique is truly powerful!"
Looking at the nine palaces that had been shattered, Zhuowen's pupils couldn't help but shrink. This was merely the aftermath of the force emitted by the lone peak, yet it was able to shatter the nine palaces. If the lone peak were to attack head-on, the power that would erupt would be unimaginable.
After putting away the lone peak, the shock in Zhuowen's eyes didn't dissipate for a long time. The power of the Lone Peak was truly beyond his expectations.
His physical strength wasn't strong. Although his cultivation base had advanced to the Sky Saint Realm, he could barely fight against a Heaven-defying Saint Realm expert without the help of the Nine Yang Dao Sword.
However, everything was different now that his physical body possessed the Lone Peak. Even if he didn't rely on the Nine Yang Dao Sword and the Heaven Defying Saint Realm expert, he would still have the strength to fight against a Half-Immortal.
"Lei Qingtian and Jiang Zuomei chased me so miserably. Now that Lei Qingtian is dead, it's time to lure Jiang Zuomei out. If I want to kill her, I have to kill her thoroughly."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Zhuowen's eyes. He quickly flew out of the nine palaces, but he didn't immediately enter the fragment continent.
This fragment continent was extremely large. Even in the Broken Skull Abyss, it was considered one of the largest. At least, Zhuowen had never seen a fragment continent that was larger than the one he was currently in.
Moreover, there were countless restrictions of various sizes on this fragment continent. Zhuowen used the Devouring Curse Restriction to unlock these restrictions one by one. However, he didn't destroy these restrictions. Instead, he used the Devouring Curse Restriction to connect the unlocked restrictions one by one.
Zhuowen stayed on this fragment continent for two months. During these two months, he had been searching for restrictions of various sizes. He found thousands of restrictions on this fragment continent.
Of course, among so many restrictions, most of them were relatively weak or severely damaged. Restrictions that were relatively complete and powerful were extremely rare.
When Zhuowen connected these thousands of restrictions using the Devouring Curse Restriction, Zhuowen stopped at the center of the fragment continent.
Zhuowen heaved a sigh of relief. His face was slightly pale. Even with his strong willpower, Zhuowen almost couldn't withstand the constant deduction of so many restrictions using the Devouring Curse Restriction for two months.
However, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with excitement. He murmured in a low voice, "If these thousands of restrictions explode at the same time, the entire fragment continent might collapse. Even an Earthly Immortal would die under the explosion of so many restrictions."
"So that's the case. No wonder you've been constantly looking for Restriction Spells in this continent for the past two months. No matter how big or small the Restriction Spells are, they don't refuse. So this is your purpose." Blackie flew to Zhuo Wen's shoulder and revealed a look of understanding.
"With the connection of the Devouring Curse Restriction, I only need a thought to completely detonate the entire fragment continent." Zhuowen's eyes shone brightly.
"Now, all we have to do is wait for Jiang Zuomei to walk right into the trap!"
Zhuo Wen parted his mouth into a smile. With a wave of his sleeve, his Mental Energy avatar separated from his actual body. Immediately, a vast and mighty aura surged out from the avatar's body. Moreover, this aura became increasingly intense and powerful, faintly causing the fragment continent to tremble.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Mental Energy Doppelganger flew high into the sky. The space around it shattered, and a terrifying storm burst out from the cracks in the space.
If an ordinary person saw this storm, their Sea of Consciousness would immediately boil and be injured. This storm was a Mental Energy Storm. It was invisible and intangible, and it targeted the Sea of Consciousness.
Of course, the Mental Energy Storm generated by Zhuowen's advancement to the Profound Saint Master Realm would not only target the Sea of Consciousness, but also the physical body.
For a moment, the momentum in the sky above the fragment continent was extremely vast. It was as if a violent tsunami was coming from the sea, and a monstrous disaster could occur at any time.
Most of the fragments in the Shattered Nightmare Abyss were affected by this terrifying storm.
"Hmm?"
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the fragment continent Zhuo Wen was on, on a rather large rock fragment, a figure who was searching suddenly stopped. He turned around and stared at the vast spiritual storm with blazing eyes.
"Such a vast Mental Energy Storm. I'm afraid that someone has advanced to the Profound Saint Master Realm. In this Shattered Nightmare Abyss, other than me, there are only Lei Qingtian and Zhuowen. However, Lei Qingtian is not an Arcana Master, so the only one who could cause this Mental Energy Storm is Zhuowen."
This person was Jiang Zuomei, who was still searching for Zhuowen. After losing contact with Lei Qingtian, he did not think that Lei Qingtian might have been killed by Zhuowen. Or rather, he did not think that Zhuowen could kill an Earth Immortal like Lei Qingtian.
The Shattered Nightmare Abyss was so vast that he thought that Lei Qingtian was planning to act alone and did not want to contact him.
"This kid is really careless. He actually dared to make a breakthrough here. It seems that the heavens want him dead!"
Jiang Zuomei laughed out loud. Killing intent was revealed in his eyes. His feet stepped on the empty air and shot out like an arrow that had left a bow. He rushed towards the fragment continent that was formed by the Mental Energy storm.
The moment Jiang Zuomei shot out, a ghostly figure silently followed behind him.
This person was wearing a ghost mask. His eyes were as sharp as swords as he stared at Jiang Zuomei's back. No one knew what he was thinking.
What was even more surprising was that even with Jiang Zuomei's Earth Immortal cultivation, he was unable to detect the person wearing the ghost mask. This person's concealment technique was really amazing.
Whoosh!
An endless Mental Energy Storm raged in the void. Zhuowen's Mental Energy Doppelganger raised his head and stared at the Mental Energy Storm in the void. He was not afraid at all and immediately activated the Four Kill Sacred Sword Array. At the same time, he used the enormous Mental Energy cultivated from the Myriad Evolution Scripture to resist the Mental Energy Storm in the void.
"Devouring Curse Seal: Myriad Curse Seal!"
At the same time, Zhuowen formed a seal with his right hand and repeatedly struck out in the void. Instantly, runes flew out with Zhuowen's Mental Energy as the medium. They transformed into tens of thousands of runes that looked extremely terrifying and powerful.
These tens of thousands of runes were like a huge disk that flew above Zhuowen's head. Suddenly, the terrifying Mental Energy Storm collapsed under the disk formed by tens of thousands of runes.
Although the Mental Energy Storm was getting more and more terrifying, the Devouring Curse Seal that Zhuowen cultivated was a powerful ancient seal. In addition, Zhuowen's Mental Energy was already very powerful. Therefore, the Mental Energy Storm could not do anything to Zhuowen.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sharp sound of something breaking through the air resounded outside the fragment continent. Moreover, the sound of something breaking through the air grew louder and louder, as if it was directly exploding in one's ears.
The Mental Energy Doppelganger narrowed his eyes and pointed at the void with his right hand. The disk formed by tens of thousands of runes suddenly tilted and landed on Zhuowen's left side like a huge shield. The Mental Energy Storm against the disk turned into his means of attack and blasted towards the incoming sound of something breaking through the air.
"Hmph!"
When Zhuowen finished doing this, a cold snort swept over from the front of the runes. Immediately after, a dark shadow clenched his right hand, and terrifying ice and fire energy condensed in his palm and turned into a spiral-shaped ball intertwined with ice blue and fire red.
"Immortal Technique Icefire Spiral!"
The ball in the dark shadow's right palm kept spinning and spinning faster and faster. Then, he pressed his right palm against the rune disk.
Crackle!
Suddenly, dense sounds like firecrackers resounded continuously, and then the rune disk along with the Mental Energy Storm collapsed.
The pupils of Zhuowen's Mental Energy Doppelganger constricted, but he did not panic. He held the Devouring Curse Seal in his right hand and retreated repeatedly.
