If the guard's attack just now was comparable to that of the Martial Demon Realm...
Then now the guards' attack has reached a level comparable to that of a saint!
It's not just a surge in strength.
There has been a huge improvement in speed.
So much so that Xiao Shi's naked eyes could not catch the opponent's falling axe.
He could only follow his sense of crisis.
Make an instinctive reaction of teleporting.
boom!
The earth was shaking violently as if there was an earthquake.
Thanks to the special geology of this place, the axe dropped by the guard only caused the ground to shake and did not cause any substantial damage.
If this were outside...
A blow of this power would inevitably cause severe damage to the earth on a huge scale.
Sweat began to form on Xiao Shi's forehead.
I felt unprecedented pressure.
According to his speculation.
After each attack by the guard, his next attack will gain a realm enhancement.
In this way.
The guard's next attack.
It is very likely that it will be an attack comparable to the Dao Lord level!
Such attacks...
Even if he had the ability to teleport, he couldn't escape!
The most troublesome thing is that all his methods are ineffective in front of the opponent.
At this critical moment.
Xiao Shi decided to implement another plan of his own!
Before he made his move, he had already prepared himself for the possibility that his Dark Moon form might not be effective.
With his stable character.
It is naturally impossible to pin all hopes on the Dark Moon form.
There will definitely be another plan.
Think of this.
Many souls immediately appeared around Xiao Shi.
These souls...
These were the many Youyue souls of the Genshan Sect that he had harvested in the illusory world.
When these ghost moon souls appeared.
He immediately stood in front of Xiao Shi and rushed towards the guards.
In order to attract hatred for Xiao Shi.
boom!
This caused the guard's giant axe to fall not on Xiao Shi, but on the Youyue soul in front of him.
In an instant, the Youyue soul in front of him was chopped and shattered.
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up at this.
My plan was successful!
The second solution he thought of.
It is to release the ghost moon soul to "block the knife" for oneself.
If Youyue Soul doesn't work.
Then he released his clone to block the knife.
At the same time, through the guards' attack, he also discovered an unexpected situation.
The guard's attack is powerful...
But it seems that only one target can be attacked each time!
Logically speaking.
The terrifying power of the guarding axe is definitely enough to blast all the Youyue souls released by Xiao Shi.
But he only killed one Youyue soul.
This means that each attack of the guard can only target one person.
No matter how powerful his attack is.
It also cannot spread to other targets.
After discovering this rule.
Xiao Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he has the Youyue soul of the entire Genshan Sect in his hands.
Just the dozen or so Ghost Moon souls released now are enough to block the sword for him and keep him away from the guards.
Immediately.
Xiao Shi's speed exploded.
As he transformed into a red tiger, Emperor Wu's combat boots appeared under his feet, and he rushed towards the altar in front at the fastest speed.
After finding a way to deal with the guards.
Even if he was forced to trigger this taboo, he could resolve it skillfully.
This also made Xiao Shi realize that the taboos here would cause greater trouble.
But it is not unbreakable.
If this is a taboo that cannot be broken, then the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would not expect Xiang Zizhen to come here.
After all, with the strength of such guards, even if Xiang Zizhen faced the guards, there would actually be no big difference between him and himself.
Neither could withstand the opponent's blow.
"That is to say..."
"The taboos here are terrifying."
"But different taboos should have different ways of dealing with and breaking them."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
But for myself.
He didn't need to think too much about how to break these taboos.
Except for this taboo he had to trigger.
He can avoid the rest of the taboos very well.
This is the power of luck!
At the same time, Xiao Shi also discovered that among these eight taboos, there was one taboo that he had never encountered before.
That's the wind in the valley.
According to this taboo.
Once the wind blows in the valley, you must stay where you are, unable to move or speak, and you can only take action after the wind stops.
If the wind started blowing when the guards attacked us just now...
Then the whole situation would be extremely bad.
However, with Xiao Shi's current luck.
Such a bad thing could never happen to him.
He has had a smooth journey.
There was not even any wind blowing in the valley.
In an instant.
Xiao Shi arrived at the altar in front.
The entire altar is green in color and made of an unknown material. It is covered with runes.
The most eye-catching thing is the giant camphor tree growing on the altar.
As you get closer.
Xiao Shi could even more clearly feel the powerful seal of this giant camphor tree.
This camphor tree itself is not aggressive at all.
It has only one function.
That's the seal!
The strength of this seal exceeds any seal Xiao Shi has ever seen before.
And given the sturdiness of this camphor tree, even if a saint came, he would not be able to destroy it by attacking.
While Xiao Shi was staring at the camphor tree, he was also paying attention to the huge eyeball sealed in the camphor tree.
I fell into deep thought about this.
"If this eyeball is the real reason why the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect asked us to enter this place, then it is very likely that they want us to take this eyeball out of here..."
"But how can we get this eyeball from this sealed camphor tree?"
Xiao Shi walked around the sealed camphor tree.
No flaws were found on this camphor tree.
He couldn't help but think.
If it follows the original plan.
The person who entered this place was Xiang Zizhen. When he came here, how would he get this eyeball
Xiao Shi felt that he had enough understanding of Xiang Zizheng.
With Xiang Zizhen's ability...
It is definitely impossible to break the seal of this camphor tree.
Then there is only one possibility.
That is, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect gave Xiang Zizheng an important item before he entered this place.
This allows him to use this item to break the seal of the camphor tree.
Now the most difficult question is...
I don't have the item to crack it!
This is a bit difficult.
Xiao Shi carefully recalled the various items and means he possessed.
I didn't expect to find the key to breaking the seal.
At the same time, there are eight taboos in this valley.
There is no taboo related to this place.
To this.
Xiao Shi could only ask the remaining consciousness in the black coffin inside his body.
Let's see if there is a way to find the broken mind inside the black coffin.
Normally, the remaining consciousness in the black coffin is in a dormant state, and it will only wake up after Xiao Shi calls it.
Now after being awakened by Xiao Shi.
The fragmentary consciousness in the black coffin immediately noticed the giant camphor tree in front of Xiao Shi.
"This is… "
The broken mind in the black coffin suddenly showed an excitement that was not normal.
But due to the complete mental defect.
Causing it to fall into thought.
After thinking for a long time.
It then said.
"My memory tells me that this tree... seems to be one of the nine sacred trees of Tianwu Continent!"
"These nine sacred trees did not all come from the same era."
"It is said that only five sacred trees have been born so far, and there are four sacred trees that have never been born."
“Maybe it will be born someday in the future.”
Xiao Shi was moved by this.
Since the fragmented consciousness in the black coffin knows the origin of this sacred tree, perhaps there is a way to unlock the seal.
Asked quickly.
"Do you know how to unlock the seal of this sacred tree?"
The broken mind in the black coffin fell into deep thought again.
After thinking for a long time.
It replied.
"To unlock its seal, only the one who controls this sacred tree can do it."
"Just like your Cang'e Ancient Tree."
"Only you can use the power of the Cang'e Ancient Tree. Even I can't use the power of the Cang'e Ancient Tree now."
"By the way..."
"The Cang'e Ancient Tree is also one of the nine sacred trees."
After Xiao Shi heard this.
I couldn't help but have some associations.
"Since the Cang'e Ancient Tree is also one of the nine sacred trees, can the Cang'e Ancient Tree unlock the seal of this camphor tree?"
"cannot!"
The fragmentary mind in the black coffin expressed affirmation.
“Although they are all the same nine sacred trees, they have different functions. Moreover, the current state of the Cang’e Ancient Tree is far inferior to that of the Sealed Camphor Tree.”
Xiao Shi couldn't help but frown.
In fact, he could feel it too.
In terms of condition, the Cang'e ancient tree is indeed not as good as this sealed camphor tree.
If even the Cang'e Ancient Tree, one of the Nine Sacred Trees, cannot break the seal, then he really doesn't have any better solution.
"Actually, I think you can find a solution from the seal on this seal camphor tree..."
"I sensed some of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect's aura from the seal on this camphor tree. This seal is of a very high level. If you can awaken it, you may be able to help break the seal."
The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin suggested.
"Awaken the sealed thing?"
Xiao Shi couldn't help but focus his gaze on the eyeball in the camphor tree.
It’s a pity that the incomplete mind in the black coffin only knows the origin of the camphor tree, but has no idea what the eyeball sealed by the camphor tree is.
Xiao Shi thought that if he could obtain the information from this eyeball.
Maybe we'll know how to wake it up.
But it’s a pity.
There was no specific information about this eyeball in his sight.
Usually you want to see relevant information about the item.
In addition to obtaining items dropped by killing enemies, you can also be in some special environments, such as the virtual world.
But the weird thing is...
This time he could not see any relevant item information here from beginning to end.
He had discovered this when he was at the scrapyard of weapons and treasures.
Otherwise, he would have been able to see the relevant information about those weapons and treasures at that time.
"Is there any way to see the relevant information of this eyeball?"
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought about this.
Suddenly an idea came to my mind.
He tried to release a ghost moon soul beside him, and let this ghost moon soul directly possess the eyeball on the camphor tree.
Then kill the Ghost Moon Soul!
Although evil thoughts cannot exist here.
But this evil thought is only directed at the remaining souls, guards, etc. in the valley.
It does not include Xiao Shi’s own Youyue soul.
If he killed his own Youyue soul, it would not violate the taboos of this place.
And by killing Youyue's soul, Xiao Shi felt that he would have the opportunity to see the relevant information of this eyeball.
Even if it fails, it would only be the loss of a Youyue soul, which is not a big problem.
Immediately.
The entire Youyue Soul was immediately under Xiao Shi's command.
Floating towards the eyeball on the camphor tree.
Trying to fit in.
However, the moment the Youyue soul touched the eyeball.
hiss!
The entire Youyue soul was suddenly covered in smoke.
In an instant, everything was reduced to ashes!
"no?"
Xiao Shi frowned slightly.
But the next second.
When his gaze focused on the eyeball on the camphor tree, relevant information about the eyeball immediately emerged.
Name: Eye of the Emperor
Type: Eyeball
Grade: Demigod
Introduction: This is a semi-god-level forbidden treasure refined by the Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty, specifically for the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, his national protector sect. It represents the supreme authority of the Emperor and is in the hands of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Note 1: Under the lock of the Emperor's Eye, even the most powerful "Tao" cannot resist the power of taboo.
Note 2: The entire Dawu Dynasty is under the watchful eye of the Emperor.
Note 3: Once locked by the Eye of the Emperor, unless one is a being above demigod, there is no way to evade the lock of the Eye of the Emperor, even if one is a demigod.
Note 4: Only the Emperor and the demigods of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect can use the Eye of the Emperor. Even if it falls into the hands of other demigods, they cannot use it.
Note 5: As the sacred artifact of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, the Eye of the Emperor can regularly perform baptism and enlightenment for the followers of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
…
Xiao Shi looked at the information about the item in front of him.
The whole mind is already in turmoil.
Originally, he thought that the suspected Dao Lord-level divine weapon he had seen before was already terrifying.
But I didn’t expect…
What was sealed in this camphor tree was actually a demigod-level treasure!
At the same time, the moment you see the entire item information.
He was completely certain that the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had asked them to come here just for this demigod-level treasure!
Although he didn't understand why this demigod-level treasure fell into the hands of Lord Xingluo.
But Lord Xingluo obviously cannot use this demigod-level treasure.
It's not just that Lord Xingluo's own cultivation level is not high enough.
What's more.
This demigod-level treasure can only be used by the Martial Emperor and the demigods of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
"If that's the case..."
"Then I really have hope of awakening this demigod-level Eye of the Emperor!"
Xiao Shi's heart was pounding.
