Chapter 165 The truth is revealed, and danger is coming again
The roar was deafening, and a huge shadow appeared and disappeared in the fog, pressing down like a mountain.
The light of the spiritual sword in Li Yuan's hand suddenly increased, illuminating part of the giant shadow - it was actually a ferocious beast that looked like a tiger, but had three heads!
The three heads each let out a different roar, shaking the walls of the maze and causing rubble to fall from them.
"Three-headed demonic tiger!" Li Yuan recognized the origin of this ferocious beast at a glance and said in a serious tone, "It is said that it feeds on devouring the spiritual energy of cultivators. It is extremely difficult to deal with."
Bi Yao was not afraid at all, instead a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.
She quickly took out a peculiarly shaped dagger from her storage bag. This dagger was not a magic weapon, but a special alloy knife she brought from the modern world.
The three demonic tigers roared and pounced, and a foul smell hit my face.
Li Yuan brandished the magic sword, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and it collided with the huge claws of the magic tiger, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Bi Yao was agile and moved around the magic tiger like a ghost. The sharp dagger slashed across the magic tiger's hind legs, leaving a deep wound.
The demon tiger felt pain and roared even more angrily.
The three heads simultaneously spewed out black mist, which was highly corrosive, and cracks began to appear on Li Yuan's spiritual shield.
"Yao'er, be careful! This mist can corrode spiritual power!" Li Yuan reminded Bi Yao while resisting the attack of the magic tiger.
Bi Yao seemed to have anticipated this. She took out a piece of transparent film from her storage bag and wrapped herself and Li Yuan in it.
This film is a special material she synthesized using modern technology, which can block most energy attacks.
With this layer of protection, the pressure on the two was greatly reduced, and they began to deal with the attacks of the magic tiger more calmly.
Li Yuan's swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword strike hit the magic tiger's vital points directly; Bi Yao used his modern fighting skills, combined with the sharpness of his dagger, to continuously leave wounds on the magic tiger.
After a fierce battle, the three-headed demon tiger was finally defeated. It fell to the ground with a wail and turned into a black mist and dissipated.
The surrounding fog also dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the maze.
They found themselves standing on a huge circular platform with a teleportation array flashing in the center.
Next to the teleportation array, there is a line of ancient text engraved.
"This is...ancient writing!" Li Yuan exclaimed, "It records...the connection between the world of immortal heroes and another world!"
Before Li Yuan could read it carefully, the teleportation array suddenly shone brightly and a powerful suction force sucked them in.
After a dizzying moment, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.
"Where...is this place?" Li Yuan looked around and found that it was a barren desert and the sky was blood red.
Bi Yao did not answer. She looked down at the dagger in her hand, her eyes flickering: "Wait... I seem to..." Bi Yao suddenly remembered the strange compass she had obtained in a secret realm before, which was said to have the ability to detect the truth.
She took out this rusty, seemingly insignificant little gadget from her storage bag.
After being injected with spiritual power, the compass needle spun wildly, and finally pointed stably in one direction, emitting a faint light.
"It seems that our direction is there." Bi Yao put away the compass, with a confident light in his eyes.
Li Yuan naturally followed Bi Yao's steps without saying a word.
They followed the direction indicated by the compass, crossed the barren desert, and came to an oasis hidden in the mist.
In the center of the oasis stands an ancient stone tablet, engraved with strange runes.
"This is...ancient divine writing!" Li Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "I've seen similar writing in an ancient book before. It's said to contain many secrets of heaven and earth!"
With Bi Yao's modern text analysis skills and Li Yuan's understanding of ancient sacred texts, the two began to decipher the text on the stone tablet.
As they cracked deeper, they gradually understood the connection between the world of immortals and the unknown world, as well as the truth about this blood-red sky.
It turns out that this world was once a prosperous world of immortal cultivation, but it was destroyed by a great war, and the sky was dyed blood red.
The channel connecting the two worlds was opened because of this war.
In addition to these shocking secrets, the stone tablet also records the locations of some powerful martial arts secrets and rare magical herbs and medicines.
Li Yuan excitedly picked up Bi Yao and spun around several times.
"Yao'er, we're rich! These skills and elixirs are enough for us to cultivate to a higher level!"
Bi Yao smiled and patted Li Yuan's shoulder, "Don't be too happy too soon, we haven't completely uncovered the truth yet." She looked around and always felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
At this moment, the compass needle suddenly began to tremble violently, and the light became flickering.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan noticed something was wrong and asked quickly.
Bi Yao's expression also became solemn.
"Wait... I seem to feel..." She suddenly paused, her eyes fixed on the direction indicated by the compass. There, a powerful aura was slowly approaching...
"Something is coming."
On the horizon, a huge black shadow slowly emerged, blocking out the sky and the sun, bringing with it a suffocating sense of oppression.
It is not human-shaped, but a twisted mass of darkness, like the embodiment of a nightmare.
As the black shadow approached, the surrounding space began to distort, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it would collapse at any time.
"What is that?!" Li Yuan clenched the magic sword in his hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Bi Yao's expression was extremely solemn. The compass was spinning wildly in her hand, and the needle was almost flying out.
"It's worse than we imagined..."
The black shadow finally fully revealed itself. It was an extremely huge demon, covered with black scales and emitting a disgusting stench.
It has countless scarlet eyes, each of which is full of malice and greed, as if it wants to devour everything.
The demon let out a deafening roar, and the surrounding space instantly collapsed into chaos.
Li Yuan and Bi Yao were blown away by this powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.
"Yao'er!" Li Yuan struggled to get up and wanted to help Bi Yao.
But Bi Yao pushed him away and said, "Leave me alone! Go away!"
The demon's attacks came one after another, each attack carrying devastating power.
The ground cracked, the mountains collapsed, and the whole world seemed to be heading towards destruction.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan each used their strongest skills, but still could not withstand the demon's attack.
They were knocked down again and again, and the scars on their bodies increased.
"We can't go on like this!" Bi Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
She suddenly remembered all the treasures and skills she had obtained before, as well as the deep power of love between them.
"Li Yuan! Let's combine all our strengths!"
Li Yuan immediately understood what Bi Yao meant. The two of them sat cross-legged and merged all their power, treasures, skills, and the deep love between them together.
A dazzling light burst out from them, illuminating the entire dark world.
This light condensed into a huge pillar of light, shooting straight into the sky and colliding with the devil's dark power.
With a deafening roar, the demon let out a shrill scream, and its huge body began to disintegrate, eventually turning into ashes.
The world returned to peace, and the blood-red color of the sky gradually faded, revealing its original azure color.
However, just when they thought everything was over, the compass in Bi Yao's hand suddenly vibrated violently and made a shrill scream.
"No..." Bi Yao looked at the compass and his face turned pale.
She grabbed Li Yuan's hand, her fingertips were cold.
Li Yuan felt an inexplicable chill. He followed Bi Yao's gaze and saw the compass needle spinning wildly, finally pointing to...
The center of the fairy world.
"Then...what is that..."
