C292 This Power Was Not as Powerful as He Had Imagined
If it wasn't for Chu Zhongtian reminding him before the palace opened, he wouldn't have consumed the Heart Cleansing Pill in advance to keep him awake.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was always awake, he wouldn't have been able to keep his head clear while facing the temptation of the spirit tree and spirit fruit.
If it wasn't for the clues that Chu Zhongtian had deliberately left behind, he would definitely have faced this energy that shook the palace.
Under the eruption of this energy, Huang Yurong didn't have the slightest confidence that he would be able to preserve his life in the end.
Although he really wanted to thank Chu Zhongtian verbally, the energy that erupted from the palace made him unable to express his gratitude for the time being.
Because following the rumbling sound, the spirit trees and spirit fruit that were planted all over the south side of the stone room were suddenly attacked by a powerful force. The spirit trees that were attacked by this force turned into powder and disappeared into the palace. They disappeared from Chu Zhongtian and Huang Yurong's eyes.
"What a pity!" After the sudden explosion of energy in the palace turned the countless spirit trees and spirit fruit into powder, Huang Yurong said with a face full of pity.
"Senior Huang, this isn't a pity at all!" When Chu Zhongtian heard Huang Yurong's regretful sigh, he firmly refuted.
"Senior Huang, what is the most powerful technique of the Blood Devil in Blood Demon Secret Realm?" Chu Zhongtian did not explain why the spirit fruit was destroyed, but rather the method of interrogating the Blood Devil.
"The most powerful technique of the Blood Devil is naturally the illusion created by them. They can make people fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate themselves from it." When Huang Yurong said this, his face suddenly changed. He pointed at the spirit tree that had been destroyed by the energy. His voice was trembling as he spoke.
"Junior Brother Chu, could it be that the countless spiritual trees and spirit fruit in front of us are all fake and illusory?"
"Senior Huang, don't forget where the Prison Court appeared. It's not strange that it has the ability to create illusions." Chu Zhongtian nodded his head, confirming his guess and stating the basis of his guess.
"If the spirit tree and spirit fruit in front of us are fake... The disciples of the same sect who were trapped in the illusion realm were attacked by that force just now. I don't know how many of them survived. " Huang Yurong recalled the force that caused the entire palace to tremble. He couldn't help but worry about his fellow disciples who had entered the palace.
"When a person is too greedy, he or she will be harmed by his own desires! Since they are controlled by greed, their fates are decided by themselves. " Chu Zhongtian didn't feel the slightest heartache about how many of his fellow disciples had died in the end.
He didn't know those people. Even if he knew them, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. After all, not everyone could control the desire in his heart when faced with the spirit fruit that could increase his cultivation base and potential.
If he dared to stop them in front of their faces, those disciples of the same sect who were controlled by their own desires would treat him as their enemy.
"Senior Huang, in thirty seconds at most, the energy ripples that erupted just now will reach here. With your strength, you can handle it. So, I hope you can block the energy ripples from now on."
"Junior Brother Chu, don't worry. I'm here!" Huang Yurong felt the energy that was about to sweep towards him from not far away and promised confidently.
Thirty seconds later, the energy ripples from the formation's eruption arrived on time. Facing the incoming force, Huang Yurong took a step forward. He stood in front of Chu Zhongtian and activated the vital spirit in his Dantian. After that, he let out a loud roar and began to resist the force of the attack with all his strength.
At the same time, Chu Zhongtian took out a few spirit stones of different grades from his storage bag and threw them outside Huang Yurong's protective barrier. He planned to test the power of the aftershock of the formation's power.
The Ninth Grade Low Rank spirit stones were crushed into powder within ten seconds.
Ninety percent of the Eighth Grade Low Rank Spirit Stone was destroyed after the aftershock of the power dissipated.
After the residual energy dissipated, only one-fifth of the Seventh Grade Middle Rank Spirit Stone was destroyed.
After picking up the destroyed level 7 spirit stone from the ground, Chu Zhongtian felt the residual energy on the spirit stone, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
The grade and hardness of the spirit stone was similar to a human martial artist's Stage.
A Level 9 spirit stone was as hard as a Body Refining Stage spirit stone!
A Level 8 spirit stone was as hard as a Qi Transforming Period spirit stone!
Most of the Inner Sect disciples who entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm had defensive spirit weapon on their bodies. Under the double protection of their cultivation base and spirit weapon, their losses might not be as great as he had imagined.
At least, the dozen Half-step Essence Gathering Stage warriors were able to remain unharmed.
"Junior Brother Chu, what's wrong?" After the aftershock of the formation dissipated, Huang Yurong turned around. He noticed that something was wrong with Chu Zhongtian's face, so he immediately asked with concern.
"Senior Huang, I'm fine." After putting away the Seventh Grade Middle Rank Spirit Stone storage bag, Chu Zhongtian shook his head and walked into the stone room.
Since the power of the formation wasn't as strong as he had imagined, the destruction of the illusion wouldn't be able to attract their attention.
With the speed of the Inner Sect disciples, especially a peak First Level Essence Gathering Stage Peak like Gong Rulin, it wouldn't take long for them to reach this place.
In order to avoid meeting Gong Rulin in advance, Chu Zhongtian wanted to wake Dongfang Yongping up. They needed to leave this stone room as soon as possible.
When Chu Zhongtian and Huang Yurong entered the stone room, they found that Dongfang Yongping had opened his eyes. He was about to get up.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, what happened to your cultivation base?" Huang Yurong walked into the stone room. He could clearly feel the enormous energy in Dongfang Yongping's body. A shocked expression emerged on his face.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, could it be that you have broken through?" Dongfang Yongping had hidden the aura very well, but Chu Zhongtian did not feel anything unusual. It was only when he heard Huang Yurong's reminder that he realized he had found out.
"I have advanced a level. My current strength is barely enough to fight Gong Rulin." Although Dongfang Yongping had some doubts about Huang Yurong's arrival, Chu Zhongtian did not explain. Dongfang Yongping didn't ask too much, and he didn't hide the fact that he had broken through.
"Great!" After the palace was opened, besides worrying about the formation that stored too much energy, his biggest worry was Gong Rulin.
Currently, Dongfang Yongping's cultivation base wasn't any weaker than Gong Rulin's, so the pressure that Gong Rulin gave him was much smaller.
"Junior Brother Chu, don't be too optimistic. I'm only at the same cultivation base as Gong Rulin, but I'm definitely no match for him in a real fight. After all, my true strength is still inferior to his. " Dongfang Yongping reminded Chu Zhongtian.
