Chapter 514 - 314: Enter the Underground Palace! Slay the Black and White Divine Palace!

At that moment, a black-clad youth stepped forward from a position about ten meters to the left.

Chu Ming turned his head to look, his expression calm.

There’s someone else!

Black Ash and Ice Bone, relying on their strong perception, looked over simultaneously.

"Hmm?"

Their eyes suddenly focused.

Why hadn’t this person triggered the array?!

Could he be from Yan Huan’s side?!

In their confusion and doubt, the black-clad youth had already rushed out of their perception range and disappeared.

Approximately half an incense stick later, the Sword Gourd Spirit detected a high wall appearing ahead, with what seemed to be a giant gate beneath it.

Immediately, the environment changed, indicating they had emerged from the array space, revealing light up ahead.

In the brightness, there was indeed a towering cyan stone high wall about a hundred meters tall and a giant gate over ten meters high, with Primordial Consciousness blocked from outside.

Chu Ming walked to the cyan stone giant gate, upon closer inspection, he saw signs that the giant gate had recently been opened.

It must be Yan Huan’s three who entered the Imperial Mausoleum earlier.

Searching left and right, he did not discover a mechanism to open the giant gate.

He tried pushing it, but the gate stood steadfast like a mountain.

He took out the Yan Hanling and tried several times, yet the gate remained unmoved.

After several searches, a loud commotion came from behind, followed by two individuals rushing out of the darkness, appearing rather battered.

The two were indeed clever, after Chu Ming left, they shifted to follow the path he ventured onto.

Although they still triggered many arrays, they moved much quicker than before, finally catching up.

"It’s you!" Black Ash and Ice Bone immediately recognized Chu Ming as the black-clad youth who had passed through the array space unscathed earlier.

"You’re not under Yan Huan!" Ice Bone looked at the tightly shut giant gate and back at the black-clad youth, immediately guessed something.

This black-clad youth was surely blocked by the giant gate.

Chu Ming glanced at the two, his hands turned crimson, ready for defense.

Purely in terms of realm, he was fearless of a middle-stage Primordial Qi Seed Realm opponent, even if there were two.

However, Qi Warriors in this realm often had hidden trump cards, requiring caution.

Seeing Chu Ming inclined to fight, Ice Bone hurriedly spoke again: "Since you’re not under Yan Huan, we should collaborate!"

"Collaborate?" Chu Ming’s expression remained unchanged.

"This place is Yan Imperial Mausoleum, a place Yan Huan is undoubtedly familiar with. By now they might have already secured the legacies; if we battle here, wouldn’t we foolishly benefit Yan Huan?" Ice Bone analyzed solemnly.

There was indeed some truth in this.

Chu Ming took a step back, concealing the crimson glow from his palms outwardly, while inwardly summoning the Dragon-slaying Golden Light Saber into his hands, hidden under the guise of the Book and Painting Realm, invisible to the two.

"What cooperation do you propose?"

"You must be blocked by this cyan stone giant gate. Not only is this gate made of special material, it should also be reinforced with Primordial Qi. You are a Martial Artist, we are Qi Warriors, let’s join forces to break through this gate." Ice Bone pointed at the gate and expressed.

Chu Ming showed contemplative look and said: "Alright."

He had tried the cyan stone giant gate earlier, finding it exceedingly hard, common methods rendered useless, internally indeed composed of some protective array by Primordial Qi.

He had prepared to attempt with the Dragon-slaying Golden Light Saber when coincidentally, Black Ash and Ice Bone rushed out of the array.

Better to conserve some energy, might as well probe the two’s methods.

"Proceed."

Chu Ming stepped aside, giving them room.

Ice Bone signaled with his eyes to Black Ash, followed by a massive ice cone forming ahead.

Black Ash comprehended, using a Primordial Technique to summon a huge fireball.

"We’ll strike the Cyan Gate with Primordial Techniques, as the Primordial Qi array wavers, you seize the moment to act."

With that, Ice Bone’s eyes focused as the Primordial Technique ice pillar, bearing terrifying pressure, blasted towards the Cyan Gate, along with Black Ash’s Primordial Technique fireball.

Bang! Bang!

Two loud blasts, the surface of the Cyan Gate appeared cracked.

"Now’s the time!"

Ice Bone shouted sternly, though beneath his eyes flickered continuously.

Black Ash too hid viciousness within his gaze.

The pair harbored wicked intentions, aiming to attack while the black-clad youth struck the Cyan Gate.

Chu Ming’s eyes deepened, a smile subtly crossed his lips.

Micro expressions cannot evade the Sword Gourd Spirit and Book and Painting Realm.

Taking a step forward, his right fist condensed.

Rumble!

The Cyan Gate shattered.

"Take him down!"

In a flash, Ice Bone cursed, amidst the rubble shot a terrifying ice cone and fireball.

Bam—

Clang—

The Dragon-slaying Golden Light Saber swung out, slicing the ice cone apart, followed by another slice shattering the fireball.

Simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of silver light pierced the void, shooting directly toward Black Ash and Ice Bone.

"He’s a Qi Warrior!"

The two were shocked, yet did not panic, each promptly summoned protective treasures.

One surged with fiery light; the other’s icy light froze the ground.

Crackle! Crackle!

Clang! Clang!

"Ugh—"

The shield piece passed through the fiery light, pierced through Black Ash’s body.

Ice Bone’s stronger icy treasure blocked the strike.

"Retreat!"

A single strike forced them to reveal their cards, Ice Bone dared not engage further, hastily summoned an icy-colored elemental artifact with countless ice cones aiming at the black-clad youth.

Immediately after, using some unknown secret technique, Black Ash and Ice Bone’s speed surged, diving into the shattered Cyan Gate in wild escape.

When Chu Ming blocked the ice cones and the icy-colored elemental artifact’s attack, the two had slipped beyond the reach of Primordial Consciousness.

He glanced inside the Cyan Gate, shook his head somewhat helplessly, subsequently reached out his right hand, the two shield pieces flew back, merging into a shield shuttle.

However, the shield shuttle’s surface at this point was bumpy, with two thin cracks visible.

The Elemental Shield Shuttle was refined from fourth-tier elemental artifact material, while Black Ash and Ice Bone were fifth realm Primordial Qi Seed Realm Qi Warriors; regardless of Primordial Techniques or elemental artifacts, they somewhat surpassed the shield shuttle’s capacity.

If not for his abundant and pure Primordial Qi, coupled with meticulous control, the fourth-tier Elemental Shield Shuttle would not merely suffer mere cracks.
