Chapter 1661: Chapter 1657: One Step Ahead

Without the Surging Snow Sword, the Four Seasons Sword Formation instantly collapsed with a loud bang, countless Golden Light Swords streaked like lightning, shattering the dispersed sword qi of the Four Seasons and continued to blanket the sky, attacking Che Qingtian relentlessly.

Che Qingtian’s face turned an iron blue as his boots suddenly burst open, transforming into one wind and one fire, two rapidly spinning wheels.

He vanished from the spot in mid-air and reappeared next to the light gold floor tiles in the next moment, avoiding the assault of the Golden Sword Array.

But the wind and fire wheels on his feet also dissipated and vanished, leaving him barefooted.

"Wind Fire Wheel Boots?" A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes.

He had seen records of this armor in the Sky Machine Scroll, capable of conjuring wind and fire wheels, allowing one to move with nearly instantaneous speed. However, these Wind Fire Wheel Boots had extremely high demands on materials and were single-use armor; once used, they were gone, so he had not been willing to gather the materials and refine them.

Now that Che Qingtian resorted to using such a precious armor to dodge, it seemed that he was almost at the end of his tether.

Shen Luo immediately controlled the Destruction Mingwang to halt and turned around to pounce towards Che Qingtian again, and the direction of the Golden Sword Array shifted as well, covering Che Qingtian in a deluge of Golden Light Swords.

Che Qingtian did not confront him directly, instead stepping into the area of the light gold floor tiles. A layer of ash-white light flourished beneath him, and unexpectedly, the gravity of the light gold floor tiles had no effect on him, rapidly fleeing towards the Outside.

"This is bad, it seems that Che Qingtian has already refined some of the prohibitions of the Grey Small Tower! We cannot let him escape, otherwise it would be terrible," Fire Spirit Child said anxiously.

"No need to worry." Shen Luo’s face showed no panic, and instead, a cunning glint surfaced in his eyes. He flew out from the Destruction Mingwang, retracted the Mingwang and the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array with the Free and Easy Mirror, and pursued Che Qingtian.

Che Qingtian had already destroyed nearly half of the light gold floor tiles, his speed on them was fairly quick.

Seeing this, the Shadow War Leopard, the Profound Fire Divine Steed, and the Enlightened Heavenly Beast immediately shook off those Brass Tigers and transformed into their true forms to give chase.

All three were spirit beasts; once they showed their true bodies, their physical bodies were powerful, and their speed was not much slower than Shen Luo’s.

Although the speed of Shen Luo, the Shadow War Leopard and others was not slow, it was far from comparable to Che Qingtian’s. Che Qingtian had indeed refined part of the Grey Small Tower, completely unaffected by the Great Profound Gold Magnetic Pole Power, and crossed the light gold floor tiles area in just a few breaths, arriving at the door of the Tianyan Palace.

Che Qingtian gave Shen Luo and the others a cold glance, then leaped up, fleeing into the distance.

Given a bit of time, once he refined the Grey Small Tower, no matter how strong Shen Luo was, he would certainly be no match for him.

But just at this moment, a rich surge of Black Sound Waves suddenly erupted from the Ground, emitting a piercing dragon’s roar, the Void trembled incessantly, and hit Che Qingtian hard.

Caught off guard by the sound waves, Che Qingtian showed a painful expression on his face and fell rapidly towards the Ground.

However, he managed to stabilize after falling only a moment, and raised his hand to strike towards the direction of the incoming sound waves.

"Whoosh"

A ghostly light flashed within the black sound waves, and a black War Spear shot out like lightning, hitting Che Qingtian squarely in the chest, faster than anyone could react.

The ultra-fine tip of the spear reached the throat invisibly, like a soul-reaping hand in the darkness, it was the Dark Night War Spear.

Che Qingtian’s complexion greatly changed, he spat out a Golden Round Shield towards the Dark Night War Spear, and with crossed arms in front of him, his arms transformed into two Giant Blades radiating golden light, covered in Yan Patterns.

Before Che Qingtian could take any other action, the Dark Night War Spear had already struck the Golden Round Shield.

With a faint "hiss" sound, the Golden Round Shield and the Giant Blades were pierced as easily as paper, and a bowl-sized hole was torn through Che Qingtian’s chest, sending him flying back into the Tianyan Palace.

Before Che Qingtian could react, a black banner appeared out of thin air at the entrance of Tianyan Palace, none other than the Ten Thousand Demons Banner. It swiftly expanded dozens of times in size, completely sealing the entrance without leaving the slightest gap.

Countless black ghosts shot out from the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, charging towards Che Qingtian like raging waves.

Zhao Feiji’s figure emerged from inside the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, playing the Dragon-burying Flute. Dense sound waves bombarded Che Qingtian once again.

Before Shen Luo entered the Tianyan Palace, he had quietly placed Zhao Feiji outside for defense, which now played an unexpected role at a critical moment.

Struck harshly, Che Qingtian spewed out blood in torrents from his mouth.

But after all, his cultivation level had reached the Taiyi Stage, so despite the severe injury, he had not lost the power to resist. His body flashed with black light, conjuring a set of tall, black armor out of thin air.

This armor had eight arms on its back, each holding a Treasure Vase, Golden Bell, giant sword, Giant Hammer, shield, Chain, Silver Mirror, and Luo Umbrella—this was the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor.

Only, the blue Treasure Vase that had been smashed by the Destruction Mingwang was now replaced by a golden small bottle, its form slightly different.

The golden small bottle and the Golden Bell displayed dense Yan Patterns. Suddenly, the small bottle’s mouth emitted a tremendous suction force, sweeping up the Void in front of it, and sucking in all incoming ghosts.

And from within the Golden Bell emerged a wave of golden patterns, resisting the sound waves from the Dragon-burying Flute.

Seeing this, Zhao Feiji’s expression darkened and without hesitation, he flew backward, vanishing into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

Although he had broken through to the True Immortal Middle Stage, he was still far too weak compared to Che Qingtian’s strength and couldn’t fight against him.

With a move of its feet, the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon’s colossal figure charged towards the entrance, while the giant sword, Giant Hammer, shield, Chain, Silver Mirror, and Luo Umbrella in its other hands shone brightly, striking fiercely onto the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

The Ten Thousand Demons Banner, despite being a Magical Treasure with sixty-four layers of prohibitions, was not designed for defense, shaking violently before exploding with a rumble.

Filled with joy, Che Qingtian controlling the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon intended to escape by flight, but suddenly a yellow light surfaced in front of him in the Void. Within it was a black and yellow short ruler, the Shrinking Earth Ruler.

The Sky Fiend Corpse King appeared out of nowhere within the yellow light, immediately throwing the Turn Sky Seal with all his might, which vanished in a flash, slamming onto the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor.

The force of the Turn Sky Seal’s blow was hundreds to thousands of times more powerful than Zhao Feiji’s sound wave attack.

With a "bang" loud noise, the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon was sent flying out, appearing above the Light Gold floor tiles.

A terrifyingly heavy force acted upon the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon, causing Che Qingtian and the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor to crash down on the Light Gold floor tiles.

First struck by the Turn Sky Seal, then pinned down by the Great Profound Gold Magnetic Pole Power, Che Qingtian spat out another mouthful of blood, unable to move even a bit.

A figure flickered, and the Sky Fiend Corpse King appeared above the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor, with the Turn Sky Seal enlarging a hundredfold, transforming into a house-sized dark red giant seal, smashing down again.

Great Profound Gold Magnetic Pole Power surged violently, increasing the speed of the descending Turn Sky Seal several times over.

With a thunderous "boom" that shook the heavens and earth, the entire Tianyan Palace also shook violently, and the Light Gold floor tiles below shattered into pieces, with crisscross cracks appearing on the surrounding walls.

The Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon Armor was directly crushed flat, covered in numerous cracks, and completely collapsed.

Streaks of fresh blood seeped out from it, clearly indicating that Che Qingtian inside the armor had been utterly flattened.
