Chapter 229
There was a loud bang. The flaming spear exploded directly and blasted a path from the dense red-eyed ravens. Without a moment’s delay, the Golden Core Sages rushed straight at it with all their might.
The Fascination’s End was getting closer and closer. The cultivators turned into streamers and were about to arrive. However, more red-eyed ravens rushed out from below the Fascination’s End and clawed at them.
The group cursed endlessly in silence and made another move. After such a delay, the Grade 3 red-eyed ravens that didn’t chase after them followed up and directly surrounded the group. The group was caught in a situation where they couldn’t advance or retreat.
On the other hand, Chen Jingzhai continued to hunt down the red-eyed ravens with the help of the Magnetic Light and the Innate Money Tree. Basically, one-third of the prey was sent to the
Great Heaven Mirror and the rest were absorbed by the tree roots.
Blood-Patterned Coins continued to be produced, and there were more than just one. But more Essence Magnetic Coins were produced, which exceeded 500 pieces. They continued to be generated at a rate visible to the naked eyes.
Perhaps too many red-eyed ravens were hunted down or too much Magnetic Power passed away, and the Grade 4 red-eyed Raven King finally woke up. The coercion that belonged to the King solely swept over, making people feel tight in their chests.
The mirror’s light was glittering and rendered a layer of rosy clouds. It weakened the coercion and restrained more red-eyed ravens. Chen Jingzhai shot quickly and also found other cultivators at the same time.
“It’s another group of people. It looks like they are taking the opportunity to get through the canyon.” Chen Jingzhai transported his thought.
“Naive!” Celestial Han snorted.
“How long will it take you to finish it?” Celestial Miao Yun asked.
“I still need a little more time,” Chen Jingzhai said, looking inside the Great Heaven Mirror.
The Spiritual Source of the Great Heaven Mirror was being formed, and it gradually took on the shape of a raven. However, it was unknown what kind of spirit item it was going to form. Generally speaking, it would be a humanoid item. But the one that was generated from the Great Heaven Mirror probably wouldn’t be humanoid.
There was nothing wrong with it. Although humanoid items were highly spiritual, they were slightly weaker in combat. On the contrary, the spirit items of birds and beasts had unique combat abilities.
In this way, however, the original weapon of the Restricted Formation was about to change again. It might even no longer be a weapon of the Restricted Formation. Instead, it would give birth to a new method and become a real Spiritual Treasure.
“The Raven King has appeared!” Celestial Miao Fa reminded them.
Everyone looked over in unison. Sure enough, they saw a huge raven figure flying and hovering above the clouds outside the vortex. It was enormous, over 20 feet in size, and was as proud as a giant eagle.
“Grade 4 !” Sage Ji Shuanghua said worriedly. “Little Master Uncle, what can you do?”
“It doesn’t dare to come over,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile from the corner of his eyes. “The situation here is unclear. The Magnetic Power has been absorbed too much. The Raven King is brilliant, and it will not take any risks at all.”
As soon as he finished his words, they, sure enough, saw the Raven King who was floating in the air and did not come over. Instead, it was the King’s subordinates, a group of Grade 3 and Grade 2 red-eyed ravens, who madly impacted the vortex.
Chen Jingzhai, who didn’t refuse anything, continued to take in those red-eyed ravens. Some were even captured and imprisoned alive and sent to the Starlight Demon Subduing Tower to prepare for future reproduction.
The Grade 4 red-eyed Raven King observed for a while and did not do anything to the smuggled Golden Core Sages. Instead, it summoned more red-eyed ravens after a croak.
These red-eyed ravens circled and danced around it to form a large Tribe Formation. At the moment when the formation was formed, the Raven King stared at the vortex and activated its illusion ability.
An invisible force spread out and rushed directly to the vortex.
After Chen Jingzhai noticed it, he immediately activated the Great Heaven Mirror. The majestic Spiritual Essence was poured into it, causing the mirror to emit dazzling light. Those lights spread through the Restriction to weaken the illusion.
Even so, some Foundational Cultivators behind Chen Jingzhai were still hit. The first one to respond was Tu Ruoyan, who instantly knocked the Foundational Cultivators unconscious.
The rest of the Sages had reacted. They didn’t have time to roll their eyes at Tu Ruoyan, and they quickly asked the Foundational Cultivators to sit down and help each other to focus on calmness and resist the illusion.
The disciples of the Luo Sheng Sword School were the least affected. The disciples of the three Great Sword Branches had been training themselves at the sword gate for years. Now they had comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword’s Will, and even the beginning of the Sword’s Will.
They had excellent minds, and the Great Heaven Mirror also weakened the illusion. They successfully resisted the attack after realizing it. On the contrary, the disciples of the Elixir Twilight Clan and the Soaring Clouds Clan were inferior in this respect.
Fortunately, there was protection from Golden Core Sage. Even with the support of the Formation plus the Raven King made the move, the illusion had little effect on everyone. When it was weakened, its power was much less than they expected.
“It’s just an illusion!” Chen Jingzhai snorted coldly.
His Great Heaven Mirror had evolved into the Great Formation of Yin-Thunder Magnet. The silent Yin-Thunder alone could weaken the opponent’s illusion, not to mention that he still had the Ancient Innate Money Tree.
The Ancient Innate Money Tree had grown up. It stood tall and was as magnificent as a canopy. Its roots were even stronger. A mere Grade 4 illusion was useless in front of its roots.
Even so, he wanted to bring out the Spiritual Item from the Great Heaven Mirror as soon as possible. After the Spiritual Treasure was transformed, the Great Heaven Mirror would be more powerful. The burden on Chen Jingzhai would be much lighter when he used it.
Did he need to use Innate Energy?
Looking at the chicken-like Spiritual Source, Chen Jingzhai hesitated.
At this moment, a new change occurred in the Great Heaven Mirror. The Fire Raven Formation from the Fire Raven and Immortal Book was integrated into the Spiritual Source, followed by the Heaven and Earth Formation, Yin-Yang Formation, and Inversion Formation.
After these formations were integrated into it, the swallowing power of the Great Heaven Mirror suddenly increased tenfold. The Spiritual Source quickly swelled more than three times after swallowing violently. Then the spirituality of the Spiritual Source began to dim.
Chen Jingzhai’s heart skipped a beat, like a heavy hammer beating a drum. Under the gaze of the Divine Mind, the Spiritual Source was broken open easily, and a mighty force quickly spread throughout the Great Heaven Mirror.
A purple-blue, Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven was born with lightning all over its body and flames on its wings. The moment it appeared, it felt Chen Jingzhai and came with intimacy and joy.
At the same time, the ability of the Great Heaven Mirror of the Spiritual Source level was fed back to Chen Jingzhai. When Chen Jingzhai was in a daze, the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven flew out of the space of the Great Heaven Mirror and rushed straight out.
The vortex still existed, but it was much smaller. It was all swallowed up by the Ancient Innate Money Tree. The Restricted Formation disappeared, and a group of red-eyed ravens saw Chen Jingzhai and others hiding.
However, those red-eyed ravens did not look at Chen Jingzhai and others at this time. Instead, they stared at the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven that flew out. It stretched its body and took a light breath on the Fascination’s End.
The great Magnetic Power even exaggeratedly revealed more splendid colors and then fell into the body of the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven. The lightning and flames on it skyrocketed instantly.
In the end, the thunder and lightning fell on the tail and wings of the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven. The flame spread on its back and turned into a line. It finally fell on the top of its head and condensed into a flame crown. It looked noble and sacred. The rest of it, including its claws, showed extraordinary black color, which was brilliant and mysterious.
“Who are you?”
“Why do you have the aura of my tribe?”
The Grade 4 red-eyed Raven King asked suspiciously, looking at the thing that was bigger than itself.
At the moment when the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven appeared, it felt like it was going to kill it.
However, the blood aura from the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven couldn’t be faked.
That was where it got confusing.
“I am the ancestor of the ravens.”
“Submit to me. Your bloodline will improve and gain the power of thunder and fire!”
Thunder-Fire Spirit Raven said indifferently.
“You are looking for death!”
The red-eyed Raven King scolded coldly. A trace of tyranny flashed in its bloody eyes.
Suddenly, out of nowhere came a thing of an unknown race that wanted to bring the Raven King to its knees.
It was simply a joke but also a blatant provocation
Even though the other party had a familiar blood aura, it was unforgivable.
The great Magnetic Power condensed on the Raven King’s feather and then shot out intensively.
Its wings bombarded the Magnetic Power. One after another, like the light spots, enveloped the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven.
The Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven did not dodge or evade, and a hazy circle appeared on its neck.
All the light spots fell in front of the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Raven and disappeared directly.
Instead, the circle changed from hazy to mottled.
It didn’t do anything, but the same dense light spot returned instantly.
The move caught the ravens off guard, and the red-eyed ravens near the Raven King suffered an instant disaster.
