C156 Star Sand
C156 Star Sand
Chen Yu had already been hit by the Qi of the human form seven times. As he expected, the strength of this kind of impact was stronger than the previous.
By the seventh time, the strength of the attack had already reached a level not inferior to that of a full powered strike from a practitioner at the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage.
If Chen Yu did not cultivate the Blood Flame Tyrant Spell, with just his Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation, he would not be able to last much longer!
On the road, Chen Yu had already traveled more than a thousand meters. He looked into the distance and saw that the road was still more than a thousand meters long. The end of the road was covered by clouds and mist, so he couldn't see what was at the end.
Yuen Cheng and Lin Zefong's speed had obviously slowed down. Facing the human shaped Supreme Force that was stronger than the last, they were already a little overwhelmed. They had to retreat and avoid the attacks to be able to withstand it.
Moreover, at this moment, Chen Yu clearly saw the faces of the two people that were facing Yuen Cheng and Lin Zefong become clear, and in between their brows, it became another 'Yuen Cheng' and 'Lin Zefong'.
"Phew …"
As the sound of the wind approached, Chen Yu turned around abruptly and saw that eyes, ears and nose had already appeared on the face of the humanoid aura rushing towards him. The face gave him a strange feeling of familiarity.
Boom! The moment Chen Yu was hit by the humanoid aura, he twisted his body to reduce the impact and flew up.
Even so, Chen Yu still felt his internal organs trembling, and his body felt dull pain from the impact.
The body of the person that collided with him dispersed and the shape of the 'person' became distorted. However, after a few concealment techniques, the 'person' congealed together again.
At the same time, Chen Yu saw the image of the man who was pestering him suddenly become clearer. He looked exactly like the other man, except his expression was stiff, without the slightest emotion that a human should have.
Another 'Chen Yu' who was in the form of the Astral Energy finally appeared.
It was like looking into a mirror and seeing a strange, completely cold, and emotionless version of himself. A weird feeling surfaced in Chen Yu's heart!
However, Chen Yu did not slow down because of this.
The humanoid Qi, which had stopped in its tracks for a split-second after the collision, started to move again. It was extremely fast, even faster than when Chen Yu was using Wind Transformation Movement.
A few seconds later, Chen Yu saw the sword Qi that had been carved out of the same mold as him rush to his back, still rushing towards him like a gust of wind.
Chen Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This humanoid aura was like a maggot attached to the bone, it couldn't be shaken off at all. If he tried to counterattack, he would only get this humanoid aura to mimic his appearance.
This entanglement would not be resolved unless one left this tunnel!
It wasn't that Chen Yu didn't think about going around the two sides of the forest, but he knew that the experts that laid down the array formation and the secret realm wouldn't ignore this point. There was definitely a greater danger hidden in the two sides of the forest!
"Looks like I have to think of another way!" Chen Yu frowned and was hit by the humanoid aura again. His body twisted and after resolving the force of the impact, he suddenly slowed down, maintaining a turning posture as he stared at the changes in the humanoid aura.
Without any suspense, a part of the humanoid Supreme Qi exploded under the impact of the collision, but it quickly recovered to its original state.
However, at the moment of the explosion, Chen Yu saw the starlight flowing inside the Astral Energy body.
Chen Yu couldn't help but to think as he stared at the flowing starlight.
If the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation was considered as a whole, then this path should be related to the runic restrictions on the paths. Maybe the restrictions here were more powerful and dangerous, but there shouldn't be such a big difference.
It was one thing for the astral energy to take the form of a human being, but this aspect of not dying and not dying was too terrifying and unassailable. Not to mention that this human shaped astral energy also possessed the ability to continuously become stronger, as well as the unimaginable ability to imitate and evolve.
Then, what was the biggest difference?
The answer to the question was very obvious. Those firefly like starlight were the bones of the human shaped astral energy. It was the key to the rapid recovery of the human shaped astral energy after it had been dispersed.
Based on Bloodfire Emperor's knowledge and experience, Chen Yu felt that this starlight seemed to have been evolved from a divine will left behind by a powerful expert.
A powerhouse's divine intent would often surpass the imagination of a low level martial artist. Not only would a wisp of divine intent last forever, but it would also often possess some unfathomable mysteries!
However, even if he could see all these, what could he do?
While Chen Yu was deep in thought, the humanoid qi, which was exactly the same as his, fiercely crashed into him again, causing his body to fly up into the air and his internal organs to vibrate non-stop.
The chest area of this human shaped astral energy was once again shattered from the collision, revealing the circulating starlight within.
"Starlight? The stars? " Looking at the astral light within the body of the man who was pestering him, Chen Yu suddenly thought of the star pattern on the uniform he was wearing.
I wonder if there is any connection between the two?
Based on Bloodfire Emperor's experience, Chen Yu judged that the uniform came from a sect whose name was related to the stars. In fact, many sects's cultivation methods were also related to the sect's name, for example, the sect's cultivation method of Profound Heaven Sect was called the Profound Heaven Spell, for example, the sect in Bloodfire Emperor's memory was called the Daoyuan Sect, the sect's cultivation method was called the Daoyuan Heart Sutra!
Of course, this wasn't absolute. However, it also meant that there might be a connection between the two!
"I almost forgot, there's still Stellar Sand!" From the word 'star', Chen Yu suddenly remembered that one of his Storage Bag s was also related to stars.
Stellar Sand came from the meteorite, so it was a precious material for refining. According to Chen Yu's knowledge, Stellar Sand had the effect of making the inside of the weapon ethereal, making it convenient for artificers to engrave spirit markings and diagrams while forging. Because of this, many Spirit Treasures required Stellar Sand s to be refined.
Chen Yu originally thought that the Stellar Sand that he had obtained was just an ordinary treasure on the path and was no different from some other refining materials that he did not have.
"From the Ice Soul Cold Python to the thousand year cold jade, then to the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat and the teleportation formation, all of these represent the interlinked thoughts of the people who laid down this secret realm. Is the Stellar Sand related to passing through this path? " Chen Yu couldn't help but think this.
"Chen Yu, why are you in a daze?" At this moment, a crisp voice sounded out. Chen Yu, who had been seriously slowed down by his pondering, turned around and saw Mo Shu and Mo Jia rushing over.
The two of them were also in a difficult situation. They were entangled with the two human shaped Qi Qi, and their expressions were gloomy and anxious. The astral energy in their human forms that were pestering them had become extremely condensed, as if they were real people. Moreover, their appearances were the same as theirs, like the other 'Mo Jia' and 'Mo Shu'.
Seeing Mo Shu's concern, Chen Yu's heart was moved. "Brother Mo Jia, Miss Mo, do you have any Stellar Sand with you?"
"No!" Mo Jia replied. Under the entanglement of 'Mo Jia' who was transformed by the Supreme Force, he did not have the intention to ask anymore questions.
On the other hand, Mo Shu's face revealed an expression of curiosity. As she ran, she said, "I don't have one either. What do you need Stellar Sand for?"
As she spoke, the 'Mo Shu' transformed from the [Astral Energy] caught up to Mo Shu, and bumped into her. Although she tried her best to dodge, she still could not avoid it, and the Body Protecting Astral Qi around her immediately exploded.
Chen Yu saw that Mo Shu's face had turned paler. It was obvious that she was on the verge of collapsing and had to start retaliating against the humanoid Supreme Qi that was knocking against her.
"Let's give it a try first!" Chen Yu's speed had already become very slow. Seeing that he was about to be hit by the humanoid aura, he temporarily stopped thinking about it and reached his hand into the burnt black Storage Bag hanging on his waist to touch it.
Very quickly, the fist-sized Stellar Sand with a hint of brilliance was taken out by Chen Yu.
At this moment, a humanoid aura similar to Chen Yu struck his body.
The moment Chen Yu was hit, he waved his arm and pierced the hand that held the Stellar Sand into the starlight that was revealed by the impact.
Yet nothing seemed to have happened.
The next moment, Chen Yu was knocked away and staggered out. The 'Chen Yu' whose body was broken quickly began to heal and continued to pounce towards Chen Yu.
"Looks like I'm overthinking it." Chen Yu revealed a helpless smile.
Just a moment ago, he had thought that his deduction was very reasonable.
After all, the goal of this secret plane's test was a little bigger, just like the thousand year cold jade that was left outside the Bat Cave entrance. Chen Yu felt that this travel route might also have something similar to break the situation!
Furthermore, both Mo Shu and Mo Jia did not have Stellar Sand on them, which meant that Stellar Sand that was used as a refining material was very rare within this secret territory. This way, it would be the same as the thousand-year-old cold jade that was used as the 'key' to enter Bat Cave. The Stellar Sand could also have passed through this' key 'of the road!
"Still can only take it head-on?" Chen Yu used his movement technique and chased after Mo Shu and Mo Jia, a trace of frustration in his heart.
With the sound of wind blowing, the human shaped astral qi caught up to him again.
Chen Yu felt that he was a bit fed up. Feeling depressed, he couldn't be bothered to take the impact head on anymore, so he just turned around and threw out a punch.
He circulated his true energy and gathered it in the palm of his hand. Before the humanoid aura could strike him, his fist had hit Chen Yu squarely in the chest.
Suddenly, Chen Yu's fist directly pierced into 'Chen Yu's' chest. Then, a huge force exploded and smashed 'Chen Yu's' body, which was condensed from the Supreme Qi, to pieces.
The entire 'Chen Yu' exploded and turned into astral energy that scattered in all directions. The starlight that was like countless fireflies gathering in his body was also dispersed by Chen Yu's true energy.
At this time, Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, he still held onto the Stellar Sand and opened up his hand, sending it into the starlight -- Chen Yu did not have much hope for the Stellar Sand, but this did not stop him from trying again.
Within a few breaths time, the starlight started to gather and form a human figure. Then, the aura scattered by Chen Yu also quickly gathered towards the starlight.
However, Chen Yu was stunned, because he clearly saw that the rapidly gathering starlight seemed to have dimmed a little.
Chen Yu was still unsure, so he threw another punch.
The gathered Astral Light and Astral Energy were scattered once again. In his other hand, he was still holding onto the Stellar Sand and sending it into the scattered Astral Light.
Chen Yu focused his senses, and clearly felt that there was a thread of the firefly like starlight that had landed on the Stellar Sand, as if it had been absorbed by it.
Chen Yu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
