Chapter 154 Powerful Boundary
In an instant, the black shadow seemed a little stretched under the siege of the crowd, but its movements became faster and faster, as if it had stimulated all its potential on the brink of life and death.
"Who on earth is this black shadow? He has such great skills!" Jin Ling Xianxia shouted while swinging his sword. Every time the tip of the sword passed through the air, there was a sharp whistling sound.
Upon hearing this, the guardian's gaze burned brightly, and he said in a deep voice, "This thing is definitely not ordinary. The man in black robes must have used some secret method to transform it into this form. Everyone, be careful, don't let it get close to you!"
As he was speaking, the black shadow suddenly stopped and left a residual image in the air in an attempt to confuse everyone.
"Illusion?" Fairy Shuirou was sharp-eyed and saw through the trick at a glance. She flicked her finger and a ripple of water spread out from her fingertips, accurately hitting the afterimage and instantly dissipating it into nothingness.
Seeing that his plan had been foiled, the black shadow let out a sharp howl and then retreated violently, as if preparing to escape.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" The guardian jumped up and chased after him like a flash of lightning, waving the long sword in his hand. The sword light was like a dragon, going straight for the vital point of the black shadow.
Seeing that he could not escape, the black shadow twisted his body in the air, and with his claws like hooks, he rushed towards the guardian with a cold air.
"Hmph, you're courting death!" The guardian snorted coldly, and spun his sword. The tip of the sword burst into a dazzling light, as if to split the air in two.
When the two collided, there was a deafening roar, and the powerful energy fluctuations made the surrounding space tremble.
At this moment, the black shadow suddenly exploded, turning into countless black mists and fleeing in all directions.
"Oh no, this is the escape technique of the man in black robe!" The guardian's face changed drastically, and he quickly reminded everyone to be careful.
However, the black mist seemed to have life and quickly enveloped everyone, trying to trap them.
"Form a formation!" The guardian gave an order, and everyone immediately took their positions according to the formation that had been practiced in advance. Spiritual power surged, forming an indestructible light shield.
The black mist hit the light shield, making a "bang bang" sound, but it was unable to break through at all.
At this moment, the guardian's eyes suddenly widened. He noticed that there seemed to be a faint light flickering in the center of the black fog.
"Is that... a fragment of the Spirit Source Stone?" The guardian was shocked and quickly mobilized his spiritual power, trying to penetrate the fog and capture the light.
After some effort, the guardian finally succeeded in holding the fragment of the Spirit Source Stone in his hand.
"Sure enough, the man in black robes stole the Spirit Source Stone before in order to break it into pieces so that it would be easier to carry and use." The guardian looked at the fragments in his hand and said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked solemn upon hearing this. They hadn't expected the black-robed man to be so cunning as to break the Spirit Source Stone into pieces in order to evade the Guardian's pursuit.
"We must find the other fragments as soon as possible, otherwise once the man in black robes collects them all, the consequences will be disastrous." The guardian continued.
"But, in this vast immortal journey, how are we supposed to find the other fragments?" Jin Ling Xianxia said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, the Guardian frowned slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Since the man in black robes has broken the Spirit Source Stone into pieces, he must need a specific location or item to reassemble them. We can start from this point and look for clues."
"You mean, the man in black robes may have a secret base?" When Fairy Shuirou heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"That's right." The guardian nodded. "Moreover, this secret base is likely somewhere hidden in the Immortal Path, or in a force connected to our Five Immortals Pavilion."
"So what should we do now?" asked another disciple.
"We'll split up," the guardian said decisively. "Jin Ling, you lead a group of people to various locations in Xiantu to search for the black-robed figure. Shui Rou, you lead another group to secretly investigate the forces connected to our Five Immortals Pavilion to see if there are any unusual activities. As for me, I'll go to the ancient book library in Xiantu to review the relevant materials, hoping to find some useful clues."
"Yes, Guardian!" Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Afterwards, everyone took action separately according to the guardian's arrangements.
As time went by, everyone in the Five Immortals Pavilion was busy searching for the black-robed man and the fragments of the Spirit Source Stone.
The guardian, on the other hand, looked through a large amount of information in the ancient book library and finally found a clue about the man in black robes in a dusty ancient book.
According to ancient records, the Black Robe Man was once an extremely powerful cultivator on the immortal path, but because he practiced evil skills, he was sealed by the immortal sects. However, as time passed, the seal gradually loosened, and the Black Robe Man took the opportunity to escape and began his revenge plan.
"Revenge plan? Could it be that the man in black robe stole the Spirit Source Stone just to remove the seal on him?" The guardian thought to himself and felt that this clue was very likely to be correct.
So the guardian immediately informed everyone of this clue and suggested to go to the place where the black-robed man had been sealed to investigate.
When everyone heard this, they were all cheered up and immediately prepared to set off.
A few days later, everyone finally arrived at the place where the black-robed man had been sealed - an ancient relic shrouded in a powerful barrier.
Looking at the ruins before them, everyone couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of awe. They knew that this place concealed the secrets of the black-robed man and also held the key to their journey.
"Everyone, be careful. There may be a trap set by the man in black robes here." The guardian warned.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious and they began to carefully explore the ruins.
At this moment, a subtle fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the ruins, attracting the attention of the guardian.
"There's movement over there!" The guardian immediately pointed to the depths of the ruins and motioned everyone to follow.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly restrained their breathing and quietly approached the direction where the fluctuation came from.
A moment later, they arrived in front of a secret room. The door was tightly closed, engraved with ancient runes, and emitted a faint fluorescent light.
"These runes... seem to be a sealing formation!" Fairy Shuirou said after observing them carefully.
Hearing this, the Guardian nodded and said, "Yes, these runes are indeed used for sealing. Moreover, I can sense a powerful aura within the seal."
"Is that the man in black robe?" asked the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero.
The guardian did not answer, but stared at the door quietly, as if thinking about something.
At this moment, the door of the secret room suddenly trembled slightly, as if something was trying to break the seal.
"Oh no, the man in black is about to break the seal!" The guardian's face changed drastically, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to prepare for the possible crisis.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Guardian, you've come at the right time."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed and they hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a figure in a black robe slowly walking out of the shadow of the secret room.
"The man in black robe!" The guardian shouted angrily, then swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the man in black robe.
Seeing this, the man in black robe curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and dodged the guardian's attack with a slight flash of his body.
"Guardian, why are you so anxious? It's time to settle the accounts between us." The man in black robe said slowly, his tone full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, the guardian glared at him and said, "Black-robed man, you have committed many evil deeds. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and kill you right here!"
"Hmph, doing justice for the heavens? How ridiculous." The man in black robe snorted coldly, then suddenly jumped up and attacked the guardian.
For a moment, sword shadows were flying on the battlefield, spiritual power was surging, and the two sides were fighting hard.
However, as time went on, the Guardian gradually discovered that the black-robed man seemed to be even more powerful than before. Every attack carried the power of destruction, forcing him to fight with all his strength.
"This... what's going on? Why has the black-robed man's strength suddenly increased so much?" The guardian was secretly surprised and felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the man in black robe suddenly stopped and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Guardian, do you know why I am waiting for you here?" The man in black robe said slowly, his tone full of sarcasm.
The guardian was startled when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Because I have gathered all the fragments of the Spiritual Source Stone and, with the help of the ancient seal here, have combined their powers together." The black-robed man laughed triumphantly, "And now I have enough power to destroy the entire Immortal Path!"
"What!" The guardian's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the man in black robe had actually collected all the fragments of the Spirit Source Stone and used the power of the seal to fuse their power together.
"Now, you have no chance of winning." The black-robed man looked at the guardian, a cruel light flashing in his eyes. "Prepare to accept your fate!"
After saying that, the man in black robe suddenly stood up again and launched a fierce attack on the guardian.
The Guardian was horrified at the sight, but he didn't flinch. He knew he had nowhere to retreat and could only fight to the death.
Therefore, the guardian mobilized all his spiritual power without reservation and started the final battle with the man in black robe.
On the battlefield, spiritual energy surged, sword shadows flew, and the two sides fought hard. Each attack was enough to shake the heavens and earth, making the surrounding space tremble.
However, as time went on, the guardian's spiritual power gradually began to dry up, while the black-robed man's attacks became more and more fierce.
"No, if this goes on, I will definitely lose!" The guardian thought to himself and felt that he had to find a way to change the situation.
Just then, a brilliant plan suddenly occurred to him.
The guardian suddenly retreated, putting some distance between him and the man in black robes, and shouted, "Man in black robes, do you know what your biggest mistake is?"
The black-robed man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously stopped his attack and said, "What did you say?"
"Your biggest mistake is that you underestimated the strength and determination of our Five Immortals Pavilion!" After the guardian said this, he suddenly flashed and rushed towards the sealed door of the secret room.
Seeing this, the man in black robe's face changed drastically, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to try to stop the guardian.
However, the guardian seemed to be risking his life and was trying his best to hit the sealed door.
With a loud "bang", the sealed door was finally shattered by the fierce attack of the guardian.
At the same time, an ancient and powerful sealing force surged out from the broken door, instantly engulfing the black-robed man.
Together with the guardian, they were involved in a mysterious space.
"Where...is this place?" The man in black robe had a gloomy expression on his face. He looked around and saw only chaos. The space was filled with ancient and mysterious power fluctuations.
The Guardian steadied himself and looked at the black-robed man who had also been dragged into this place. A flicker of determination flashed in his eyes. "Black-robed man, this is retribution for your evil deeds! This is the ancient space that sealed you away. Today, I will put an end to you here and now!"
"Hmph, do you think a mere sealed space can trap me?" The man in black robe sneered disdainfully, then mobilized his spiritual power, trying to break through the constraints of space.
However, to his surprise, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake this space in the slightest. On the contrary, as he struggled, the sealing force in the space seemed to surge even more violently, constantly squeezing his body.
"This...what's going on?" The man in black robe finally showed a look of horror.
The Guardian watched the black-robed man in disarray and secretly rejoiced. He knew that this sealed space was opened with the power of the Spirit Source Stone fragments, and while the black-robed man had gathered the fragments, he had not yet fully mastered their power. At this moment, he was using the sealed power of this space to suppress the black-robed man.
"Man in black robe, have you ever thought that this day would come?" The guardian said coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.
The black-robed man glared at him, but was speechless. He had truly never imagined that he would end up trapped in this sealed space.
At this moment, an ancient incantation suddenly sounded in the space, as if some mysterious power was awakening.
"Oh no, this is the awakening of the sealing power!" The guardian's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that this sealed space had such a powerful back-up.
Seeing this, the black-robed figure's eyes flashed with cunning. He saw something was amiss with the Guardian's expression and immediately guessed the secret of this dimension. So, he tried his best to use the awakening power of the seal to break free from the constraints of this dimension.
"Guardian, today is the day you die!" The man in black robe roared wildly, and powerful spiritual power burst out from his body, launching a fierce confrontation with the power of the seal.
The Guardian was terrified at this, but he didn't retreat. He knew that he had to give it his all to fight the dual threat of the black-robed man and the power of the seal.
So, he mobilized all his spiritual power and started the final battle with the man in black robe in the sealed space.
On the battlefield, spiritual energy surged, the power of the seal colliding and intertwining with the spiritual power of the black-robed man, forming a shocking scene. Each attack was enough to shake the entire sealed space, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
However, as time went on, the guardian's spiritual power gradually began to dry up, while the black-robed man became increasingly powerful with the awakening of the power of the seal.
"No, if this goes on, I will definitely lose!" The guardian thought to himself and felt that he had to find a way to change the situation.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of a brilliant plan. He looked at the man in black robes, a sly look in his eyes: "Man in black robes, do you know that this sealed space has a secret?"
The black-robed man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously stopped his attack and said, "What did you say?"
The guardian chuckled and said, "This sealed space is actually an ancient trial ground. Only those who pass the trial can gain true power. And you, the man in black robe, obviously did not pass the trial."
The black-robed man's face changed drastically upon hearing this. He had indeed never heard of trials in this sealed space, and now, hearing the guardian's words, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
At this moment, the sound of an ancient bell suddenly rang out in the space, as if announcing the beginning of the trial.
"It seems that our trial has begun." After the guardian said this, he flashed and rushed towards the direction where the bell sound came from.
Seeing this, the black-robed man was reluctant but had no choice but to follow. He knew that at this moment, he had no way to retreat and could only accept the challenge of the trial.
So, the two of them rushed into the depths of the trial, one in front and one behind.
The road of trial is full of hardships and dangers, and the two constantly encounter various strange attacks and traps. However, it is in these struggles on the brink of life and death that the guardian and the black-robed man gradually discover the power deep in their hearts.
The guardian relied on his firm belief and courage to escape danger time and time again; while the man in black robe stimulated all his potential on the brink of life and death, and his strength was improved unprecedentedly.
