Pang Jian immediately summoned the Jingzhi Spear, and used the sharp tip of the spear to chisel inwards with a "clicking" sound, and then picked out the cracked gravel.
This towering stone pillar was like he was breaking corn, picking off the corn-like gravel pieces one by one, making the stone pillar thinner and thinner.
"when!"
There was a sudden clanging sound from the tip of the silver spear, as if it was stabbing something made of gold or iron.
Seeing hope, Pang Jian accelerated the movement of the stones.
After a while.
A sturdy ape with black hair, holding a black iron rod in his hand, was fully presented by Pang Jian inside the stone pillar.
The monkey, which was nearly ten feet tall, was covered in chain mail on its waist, abdomen and chest.
It has been dead for who knows how many years, but it still exudes a ferocious aura, as if it has not been eroded by time.
The ape's hand holding the black iron rod was full of power like an iron claw. Its eyes were tightly closed, and there were scars at the corners of its eyes with dried and coagulated blood.
Looking at it in the stone pillar, Pang Jian couldn't help but think of the gray ape with ice-blue eyes in the Silent Mountains.
But it was wearing chain mail and holding a black iron rod, which made it clearly different from the gray ape.
Because only high-level intelligent creatures know how to use objects to protect themselves and know how to control objects.
The gray ape in the Cenji Mountains did not seem to have such power before Pang Jian left, otherwise it would not have been captured by the Shangguan family.
Sudden!
This sturdy ape, imprisoned or frozen inside the stone pillar, began to collapse rapidly like a sand sculpture made of piled gravel.
In the blink of an eye, a monkey with a ferocious aura turned into bone powder on the ground.
It gave Pang Jian the feeling that it was locked in a stone pillar for tens of millions of years, which made its body never decay.
but.
As soon as the stone pillar is broken and exposed, the power of time will instantly infect it.
It also turns it into a pile of ashes in an instant.
However, the black iron rod, after appearing from the stone pillar, was not affected by the passage of time.
Pang Jian was not polite at all. He reached out to take out the black iron rod and prepared to examine it carefully.
However…
The iron rod used by the ten-foot-tall monkey was too thick for him to hold with one hand. As a last resort, he had to clasp the rod with both hands.
He pulled back with all his strength, but the black iron rod seemed to be embedded in the rock and did not move at all.
After his face changed slightly, he gathered his spiritual power in his arms and torso, exerted force again and pulled again.
"boom!"
The rock fragments exploded, and the black iron rod finally moved.
But Pang Jian tried to inject spiritual power into the iron rod, but not even a trace of it could get in. It was as if the iron rod was insulated from pure spiritual power.
"rise!"
Pang Jian frowned and exerted force again.
The Qi and blood of the "Creation Divine Pool" were activated, and he stimulated the power of the "Illusion Bone Realm". His skin became as bright as silver, and he pried the black iron rod again.
“Crack!”
A black iron rod that was taller than the ape was pried open by him and smashed down on him along with flying stones.
A violent force that seemed to be able to shake the heaven and earth erupted from this black iron rod, making Pang Jian feel a little cold in his heart.
He quickly loosened his hands from the iron rod.
“Boom!”
The iron rod smashed heavily into the ground, turning it into a long and narrow gully, with spider-web-like cracks all over the ground.
Pang Jian, with a unhappy expression on his face, looked at the iron rod falling to the ground with terrifying power, then measured the length of his two hands, and was sure that he could not use this iron rod no matter what.
"This item is not usable by normal humans, so put it away for now."
Not even bothering to take a closer look, Pang Jian touched the iron rod with his bracelet and shouted "collect", and successfully collected the strange black iron rod.
"A monkey that has been dead for who knows how many years, a strange iron rod, and this stone forest..."
Looking at the stone pillars standing on the ground again, he suddenly felt that there might be strange creatures like monkeys inside the other stone pillars.
"Through the mountain!"
Silently displaying the magic of the black tortoise armor, he carefully penetrated each stone pillar as he moved forward.
But no more was found.
He did not make any new discoveries until he passed the stone forest and came to the vast wilderness.
At this time, he looked behind him and did not intend to go back to check every stone pillar.
He took out the sword order, input spiritual power into it, and planned to contact the powerful girl from the Tianbao Li family.
After a while.
"No, the array in the sword order is frozen and motionless."
Pang Jian's face changed slightly.
He summoned the Star-Breaking Umbrella again, took out the Shocking Spear, and the magic sword given by Lei Kun.
He tried one by one, infusing all the objects with spiritual power in an attempt to activate their magical powers.
The Star-Breaking Umbrella no longer shone with the light of stars and moon, the array inside the Shocking Spear had completely lost its function, and the power of the spiritual sword given by Lei Kun was greatly reduced!
All the arrays inside the instruments seemed to be useless after he left the stone forest and stepped into the wilderness.
The array is the result of human practitioners' comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, and is presented in another way.
There are spiritual arrays inside flying spiritual tools, spiritual arrays inside magic weapons, the protective arrays of major sects, and arrays inside talismans and sacred texts. This is one of the weapons that human practitioners rely on for survival!
But in this world, all the arrays inside the many spiritual weapons in Pang Jian's hands were ineffective.
"Li Yuqing must be here!"
At this moment, he suddenly became convinced that it was because of coming here that the sword order of the Li family girl could not function normally, and that was why he could not communicate with the other party.
An all-too-familiar unfixed ferry roared in from the distant sky and brazenly broke into the air above the forbidden area of Qi Ling.
but…
The Wuding ferry was in mid-air, and the array that drove the ship suddenly failed, and it crashed in front with a loud bang.
Rays of blood light suddenly shot up into the sky, and among the rays of blood light, the figures of the Blood Moon Sect members also emerged.
Faintly, there were strange cries of fear and incomprehension.
This scene left Pang Jian stunned.
Then, another golden chariot from the Galaxy Alliance came from the sky on the other side of the Qi Ling Forbidden Land.
“Boom!”
The golden chariot also crashed deep in the forbidden area.
The strange expression on Pang Jian's face became even more intense.
The Blood Moon and Galaxy Alliance, these two major sects are right next to the Spirit Prayer Forbidden Land.
They had explored the forbidden area of Qiling countless times before, so how could the flying spiritual weapon suddenly lose control and fall
Unless, the abnormality in the Qi Ling Forbidden Land happened recently, even the Blood Moon and Galaxy Alliance were unaware of the chaos in the forbidden land!
Only in this way can we explain the strange events happening before our eyes.
"There is no spiritual energy from heaven and earth to use, nor any other special powers, and the thin air does not contain toxins that can infect the internal organs..."
Pang Jian took a deep breath, his mood became a little heavy, and he hurriedly tried to establish a connection with the black turtle and the small tree.
Fortunately, after he thought about it, he sensed the existence of the black turtle and the small tree.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and injected his spiritual power into the Jingzhi Gun and the spiritual sword again. He found that there was no problem with the conduction of spiritual power, but the array that amplified the power of the instruments had failed.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The silver-bright spear tip emitted balls of blazing light and also brought down silver-bright ice thunder.
However, those light balls and ice thunders were only the size of a child's fist and were several levels weaker in power because they could not be amplified by the various arrays of the Jingzhen Gun.
"The artifacts are ineffective, the spiritual formation cannot function, and there is not a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This is fair to everyone."
After putting away his spear, Pang Jian picked up the magic sword and officially advanced towards the forbidden area.
A moment later, he saw an incomplete stone statue with pitch-black wings, shattered on the desolate ground.
If this stone statue were standing, it would probably be dozens of feet tall, comparable to the Cyclops of the fifth realm.
The stone statue carved from black rock looks a bit like a Demon Scale Clan warrior from the fifth realm, but its wings are much wider than those of the Sky Clan.
However, the statue only has a pair of huge black wings, not the several pairs of the Celestial Clan.
The stone statue, with its head, torso and limbs broken off, looked as if it had been broken into many pieces and scattered on the ground, looking quite miserable and desolate.
Pang Jian slowly approached, came to the head of the strange stone statue, and looked at his ghostly face.
Suddenly there was a whistling sound of wind.
"Woohoo! Woohoo, Woohoo!"
The strange whistling sound of the wind was like the mumbling of an evil creature, which made the listener's scalp tingle and made their consciousness fuzzy and chaotic.
Pang Jian's heart trembled.
He looked carefully and discovered that the strange whistling sound came from the hollowed-out eye sockets and open mouth of the stone statue.
The eye sockets and mouth of the stone statue seemed to be pierced by some sharp blade, and when the wind blew through the empty space, a strange and sharp whistle was made.
Listen for a moment more.
"Something's not right..."
Pang Jian saw that the wisps of spiritual consciousness in his sea of consciousness were shrinking rapidly, indicating that a lot of his mental energy had been consumed.
Silently swallowing a soul-nourishing pill, he passed the shattered stone statue with black wings and continued to move forward.
Gradually.
Destroyed and shattered altars, shattered stone pillars that fell to the ground, stone statues of various shapes, and strange wood carvings began to appear in large numbers.
You can see it everywhere along the way.
It is not difficult to imagine that in a certain ancient era, there must have been many intelligent beings different from humans, who built altars and erected stone statues and wooden sculptures in this special area which was called the Land of Prayer in the early years.
In this way, they communicate with the gods in their minds whose whereabouts are unknown.
After the alien race was defeated and humans became the masters of Purgatory, they destroyed the place of prayer.
All the altars, stone statues, and wood carvings that the alien races used to communicate with their gods were destroyed by humans.
The alien races have either become extinct or been imprisoned in the fifth realm of eternal darkness.
Two hours later.
Pang Jian, who seldom stopped along the way, stopped at a broken circular altar and looked at the six broken stone pillars next to it and the murals carved on the stone pillars.
Unknown runes and murals of the Cyclops offering sacrifices to the sky are on the broken stone pillars.
This is obviously another altar used by the Cyclops to communicate with the ice demon.
Pang Jian once successfully ascended to the innate realm through the method of "harmony between man and nature" in the equally shattered altar below Bingyan City.
Moreover, he also saw the past where the Cyclops Yanshan from Bingyan City extended the life of his young son A'man.
After hesitating for a while, he stood on the altar which was more severely broken and looked at the broken pieces of six stone pillars lying on the ground.
He sat down where he was.
"Ice Demon..."
He murmured, closing his eyes and feeling it, just like when he was in the underground palace of Bingyan City.
The next moment he was horrified.
