Chapter 365: Showing Off His Purple-Green Double Swords For The First Time

“Everyone, there are dangers abound in the tomb. Please be extra careful.”

The Dark Light Mirror was above Shen Tian’s head. Its divine light enveloped all his companions as they carefully explored the deeper recesses of the cave.

It was worth mentioning that Shen Tian kept turning back to glance above the foreheads of his companions. It was like they had maps above their heads that could lead the way.

Before long, the crowd followed Shen Tian to a major crossroad.

It was clear they were gradually approaching the deeper regions of the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb. The temperature had risen significantly.

More importantly, this crossroad was not as simple as those before. There were nine different pathways.

Princess Linglong’s eyes hardened as she analyzed the runes carved on the stone wall. Her face turned grim. “It looks like there is a complex maze array set up in this tomb.”

This complex maze was a very mysterious array formation that could make an explorer completely lost and stuck.

Generally, only those who could successfully pass this array formation challenge would be able to find their way out. Otherwise, they would be trapped inside forever.

“Junior Brother, which way do you think we should go?” Zhang Yunxi gazed at Shen Tian. “I will listen to whatever you say.”

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exchanged looks. They also spoke up. “Brother Shen has abundant providence. We will definitely make it out if we follow you.”

Actually, there was another thought which they didn’t voice out.

And it was that if they followed Shen Tian, not only would they make it out safely, but they would encounter quite a lot of fortuitous opportunities too!

Shen Tian smiled. “I have done some research on this array formation. This array formation is not intended to kill. It’s just a barrier.

“I guess that as a Thearch, young practitioners like us are nothing. I feel that this maze is just a test. Perhaps there will be a reward at the end of it.”

Reward?

Reward left behind by the Thearch!?

Everyone’s eyes lit up at Shen Tian’s words.

If the tomb really had a test and prize at the end, this was something that would tempt even a Sage.

This was a Thearch. His core legacy and Thearch artifacts were destined to belong to Shen Tian.

But even if the rest managed to collect a couple of elixirs or precious treasures, it would still be a good loot!

...

Shen Tian glanced at Qi Shaoxuan’s head before turning toward the third pathway.

The others saw him head that way and quickly followed as if they were worried about missing out on some great fortuitous opportunity.

As the group headed down the third pathway, the temperature rose higher and higher. The runes on the walls also seemed to glow with the outline of Golden Crows.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the Golden Crow runes appeared to come alive, shooting out of the walls.

In the blink of an eye, a black-gold fiery divine bird charged toward Shen Tian and his group. Its wings held boundless Golden Crow Flames.

Inside this enclosed tunnel, the power and lethality of these flames were greatly magnified by several times.

As the flames shot toward them, even ducking had become very difficult. This was because the entire tunnel was filled with flames. There was nowhere to hide.

“This array formation is indeed problematic. It can absorb Immortal Abode Island’s fire-attribute energy and attack intruders with it.”

Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes shone. His Purple Mansion Heavenly Eye had immediately familiarized itself with this fiery divine bird’s flight pattern. Meanwhile, his Heaven’s Halberd appeared in his hands.

Roar!

The Heaven’s Halberd morphed into a giant purple dragon and crashed right into the divine bird, turning it to dust before submerging itself into the ground.

In that instant, the powerful energy waves radiated outward, causing Qi Shaoxuan’s armor to vibrate intensely. He looked very much like a young god of war.

It should be pointed out that the divine bird’s attack was already at peak Nascent Soul level, nearly at the Soul Formation stage.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was able to easily destroy that bird with just one move.

The divine birds’ defense was not as strong, plus Qi Shaoxuan had been able to pinpoint its weak point as he had learned part of the Imperial Sutra of Sun. Hence, he had a rather good understanding of the bird’s movement patterns. Nevertheless, Qi Shaoxuan’s power was undeniable.

“Haha, it’s just a stupid little bird. It’s not worthy of being my opponent!”

Qi Shaoxuan deactivated his Heavenly Eye and stole a glimpse at Shen Tian.

A smug look crossed Qi Shaoxuan’s face when he noticed a faint admiring glint in Shen Tian’s eyes.

He stood at the foremost position of the group and gloated, “Everyone, don’t worry. With me around, there will be no accidents!”

...

The moment he finished his sentence, multiple lines of runes lit up on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.

Those runes were originally a pale red color, and only some could form the Golden Crow Flames. But now, all seemed to have been revived.

Suddenly, multiple Golden Crows shot out of the stone walls toward Shen Tian and his companions. They completely cut off all escape routes.

On top of that, every single Golden Crow exuded an extremely powerful aura. They were at least as powerful as the earlier one, if not more.

Especially the first three Golden Crows, they were so powerful that they didn’t even look like flames had formed them. They looked like real ancient Golden Crows.

Those three birds had powers akin to true Heavenly Venerables!

Woooooo!

These flame-created Golden Crows did not have souls. They only had a rudimentary instinct and would just attack all the intruders before them.

And Qi Shaoxuan, who was standing in front of everyone, naturally became the birds’ first target. As a result...

A certain top prodigy was thrashed into a dazed state as the flames completely engulfed him.

“Evil beasts, do you think I will fear you just because you are ganging up against me?

“Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!

“Damn your Golden Crow Flames. You are able to burn through even my Purple Aura River Mountain?

“Brother Shen, save me!”

The purple aura and divine flames clashed and completely filled the entire tunnel. Soon after, the scent of roasting meat wafted from that roaring blaze.

Rumble!

After a long time, a charred figure charged out of the Golden Crow Flames.

That face was completely black...

If not for the unique-looking Heaven’s Halberd in his hand, Shen Tian nearly could not recognize that figure as Qi Shaoxuan.

Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes were also bloodshot and tearing non-stop from his burns.

Wang Shenxu took gleeful delight in Qi Shaoxuan’s dire straits. His face was wrinkled up in a big smile. “Brother Qi, are you crying from being thrashed by those feathered beasts?”

The corners of Qi Shaoxuan’s mouth twitched. “I am not crying! My eyes are just stinging from the smoke!”

Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Stop fooling around. Let’s get rid of those Golden Crows first!”

With that, Shen Tian executed some hand seals.

His Purple-Green Double Swords morphed into two beams of light, one purple, and one green, both shooting toward the flock of Golden Crows.

Woooooo!

Strident caws echoed through the tunnel as they fell to the ground one by one, disintegrating into pure fire energy which dispersed in the air.

Even those three Heavenly Venerable-level birds managed to withstand Shen Tian’s Purple-Green Double Swords for only a few seconds.

At that moment, Shen Tian was like a Sword Immortal!
