Chapter 1298

The few who were sober were filled with anticipation for the real world. Zi Chen was the only one who became worried and vigilant.

Along the way, he had the feeling that he was being targeted and schemed against.

Just a moment ago, after Dong Qing recovered from his injuries, Zi Chen sensed a familiar energy from his space. The blade and shield naturally left his body and came under the control of Dong Qing.

The seal on the blade and shield that came from Zi Chen was broken. Dong Qing began to command the blade and shield.

This point was very unusual.

Zi Chen did not ask Dong Qing why he did this because all the mysteries would be revealed soon enough.

Whether it was the oriole behind or the real scheme, the conclusion would soon be drawn.

The space they were in just a moment ago had disappeared. It was an illusory space, Mirage Dragon's natal illusory space. Naturally, the Withered Void Tree there was also fake.

The party returned to the real world. It was a world full of colors.

Just like an eggshell, the colorful world surrounded the outside while Zi Chen and the others were in the middle of the eggshell.

The colorful lights around them were not caused by some kind of peculiar energy or secret treasure. Instead, they were layers of seals.

These colorful seals were like giant chains, locking down this part of the world. Not only did they lock down this part of the world, but they also locked down this space, locking down all the places that could be connected to the outside world.

To be precise, this place was a land of death. If one did not have something like a fragment of the edict on them, they would not be able to absorb the slightest bit of energy from this space.

"What is this place?"

"Where are our gains?"

The party looked around but there was nothing.

Zi Chen, on the other hand, was filled with vigilance. This was because this space itself was not ordinary. This was the most powerful formation he had ever seen.

"This is the Heaven and Earth Sealing Formation," a voice sounded in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness. It was none other than Cauldron Spirit.

"Heaven and Earth Sealing Formation."

"That's right. Although the real Heaven and Earth Sealing Formation is not perfect, it is just too easy for it to seal this space."

"What's the point of this formation?"

"This is a formation of entrapment. It can trap someone to death."

Zi Chen's expression changed when he heard this. "Senior, you mean that there's a person trapped here."

Cauldron Spirit replied, "To be precise, a life form is trapped inside."

As soon as Cauldron Spirit's voice faded, another voice sounded in this space, "I didn't expect that you would make it this far."

This voice came from the front of the crowd, but they clearly did not see anything just now.

The five of them turned their heads and saw one person.

This was a human wearing silver armor. There were ribbons on his body. These ribbons surrounded his body and extended out of this world.

The moment they saw the silver-armored man, everyone's pupils shrank. Their faces were filled with shock. Wu Xie even cried out in alarm, "Huanlong, you're not dead yet."

The silver-armored man had eyes that were even more profound than the Mirage Dragon's. Moreover, the auras of the two were different, but their appearances were the same. He looked at the five of them and calmly said, "It seems that you all killed my clone."

"A clone." Everyone's expression turned ugly.

They had expended a great deal of effort to kill the clone and had almost died in the illusion. Now that the real body had appeared, wouldn't it mean that his combat power was much stronger?

The silver-armored man did not attack immediately. He merely looked at the five of them. His calm face was suddenly filled with complicated emotions. In the end, he started laughing maniacally.

His laughter grew louder and louder, causing the surrounding space to tremble. Then, more and more ribbons of light flew toward them, surrounding him and suppressing him.

The faces of Zi Chen and the others changed greatly. Shock was written all over their faces.

This was because the laughter of the other party had caused their blood and qi to surge. Clearly, this was a powerful domain that was dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than the Mirage Dragon. Such an existence was simply invincible in front of them, a symbol that they could not defeat.

The silver-armored man laughed for a long time before he gradually stopped. He then looked at the five of them and asked, "Do you know how long I have been trapped here?"

Naturally, they did not know. Their faces were filled with bewilderment.

"Seventy thousand years," the silver-armored man replied faintly.

Everyone's expression changed again. After being trapped for seventy thousand years and being isolated from the outside world, he still had such a method. It was indeed terrifying.

"Seventy thousand years without being able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. Even the Void Tree could not penetrate the void. Gradually, it withered and fell into a deep slumber. I could not see anyone or hear anyone else's breathing. I could not even cultivate normally. My realm was constantly falling. Do you know what kind of feeling this is?" the silver-armored man asked.

Everyone looked at each other. They did not know if they should answer.

The silver-armored man smiled and said, "You don't need to know. You don't need to know because I will not trap you. I will only kill you."

The few of them became very nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you yet. I have been lonely for a long time and need to find someone to chat with. Whoever is good at chatting, step forward. Of course, there is no need for women because we will have a long time to chat in detail later." The silver-armored man's smile became lustful.

At this moment, Zi Chen naturally stepped forward. He took two steps forward, looked at the silver-armored man, and asked, "This is all your scheme."

"Of course. It's very clever, isn't it?"

The silver-armored man smiled. His smile returned to normal. At the same time, it proved that although he had been trapped for 25,555 years, there was no problem with his sexual orientation.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed very clever. However, I am very puzzled. Since you were trapped here, how did you send your clone out? Also, how did he pass the three stages?"

The silver-armored man did not intend to hide anything. He said directly, "This is the result of my hard work for tens of thousands of years. When a part of the formation was not operating smoothly, I forcefully separated my soul and erased all my memories. I gave him a new mission and sent him out of this space to seek help."

Zi Chen thought for a moment and said, "It is impossible for the formation to not operate smoothly. You must have done it intentionally. It should be because of that unique sword of yours."

The silver-armored man's deep eyes were filled with admiration. He nodded and said, "Not bad. You are very smart. I successfully sent my clone out with the help of that Dragon Spike."

Soon, an exasperated expression appeared on his face. He angrily said, "But do you know how many times I had to escape in the past 25,555 years?"

At this moment, the two of them were chatting like friends. Zi Chen shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Seventy times. Including the clone this time, there are seventy times in total."

The silver-armored man angrily said, "I don't know what kind of people you Huping City are. In the past 25,555 years, I took out a treasure map sixty-nine times and used various methods to send it out. However, I have not seen a single outsider in all these years."

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Did you give out a jade slip with a moving map inside?"

"That's right. I sent it out more than five hundred years ago. However, after five hundred years, no one came. I was disappointed, so I paid a huge price to send my clone out. What? Have you seen that jade slip before?"

Zi Chen sighed and said, "I have indeed seen it. If Huanlong had not asked me to come here, I would have followed the instructions on the jade slip and come here from another route."

"Then why didn't you come earlier? Do you know how much I paid to send my clone away?" The silver-armored man roared at Zi Chen, appearing to be very angry.

"I only saw it a few months ago. As for the past five hundred years, the jade slip has been split into two and has not reunited at all."

Then, Zi Chen explained what had happened.

The silver-armored man was dumbfounded when he heard this. He muttered, "So that's how it is. So that's how it is. Greedy humans. In order to prevent others from obtaining things, they would rather not obtain them."

The others naturally understood what Zi Chen and the silver-armored man meant.

Evidently, there were many people in Huping City who had such a treasure map. However, they were definitely split into two or even more pieces. However, after so many years, not a single one of the treasure maps had been reunited.

Shang Guan Hong had a deep understanding of this. Her family had a few maps that could not be reunited, and they had been stored away as part of their inheritance.

When they looked at the silver-armored man again, their expressions became somewhat complicated. They wondered just how bad his luck was. He had given out sixty-nine maps, but not a single one of them had come.

However, it seemed that his luck had changed this time. Because his clone had brought Zi Chen and the others, their luck had taken a turn for the worse.

Now that he had spoken, the silver-armored man's emotions slowly calmed down. He was no longer as angry, but he once again understood the greed of humans.

"Why did you ask Huanlong to bring us here? So that we can save you," Zi Chen asked.

The silver-armored man shook his head. "Of course not. I don't need you to save me. Furthermore, you can't save me. I need to replenish my energy. A lot of energy, but it must be life force. Therefore, I need life force to maintain my life and increase my strength so that I can break out of here."

The silver-armored man appeared very confident. Clearly, he was very strong.

In the next moment, a powerful aura was released from his body. Under this violent aura, Zi Chen and the others could not help but retreat.

There were even more colorful lights between heaven and earth, trapping the silver-armored man like chains. However, they could not suppress his unique aura.

Even though he was sealed, he was still very, very powerful.

The Domain Realm. He was truly at the Domain Realm. He only needed a finger to kill Zi Chen and the others.

Zi Chen resisted the pressure and asked, "But there are only five of us. Even if you devour us, we will only have a little bit of life force. Let alone increasing our realm, we won't even be able to maintain our original realm."

Hearing Zi Chen's words, the silver-armored man's aura retracted slightly. He looked at Zi Chen and the others and smiled again, saying, "I need to thank all of you for this matter. If I'm not wrong, you've already dealt with the trouble along the way. It won't be long before many more people arrive here. The number of people will exceed your imagination. Although they are all in the Corporeal realm, with so many people, their combined vitality will be enough for me to recover and break through before escaping."

Zi Chen's expression changed when he heard this. He asked, "There are still people behind us."

"Of course, someone will provide them with the complete treasure map. They will arrive here safely."

From the silver-armored man's words, this was a situation of certain death. However, Zi Chen did not believe it.
