Chapter 3435: Fiery True Eye Displays Its Power

Murong Yushuang's right hand flickered, and a long spear, enveloped by countless azure electric arcs, shot out. It plunged into the silver lightning, and a piteous beast cry echoed.

Not long after, the silver lightning dissipated. The giant red tiger lay lifeless in a large crater billowing black smoke, an azure spear lodged in its abdomen. A miniature tiger then flew out from its body, enveloped by a silver glow, and was drawn into a silver jade bottle, vanishing from sight.

With a single gesture of her hand, the silver jade bottle flew back into her sleeve and disappeared.

She collected the giant red tiger's corpse and returned to the back of the azure horse puppet.

"There are many seventh-tier demon beasts here, and eighth-tier ones roam about. Be careful," Wang Zongyun cautioned. He made a hand seal, and the azure horse puppet beast walked forward, disappearing into the vast mountains.

A vast, boundless yellow desert stretched out, yellow sand filling the sky as strong winds blew in gusts.

Hundreds of yellow-bodied giants were attacking Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. They held spears or swords, their features indistinct and their eyes hollow.

Wang Ruyan lightly tapped her finger towards the void, and a hazy blue halo swept out, spreading rapidly.

Wherever the blue halo passed, numerous cracks appeared in the void, as if the entire space was on the verge of collapse.

The blue halo quickly swept past dozens of yellow giants, their bodies torn apart and transforming into countless yellow grains of sand.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and countless blue seawater emerged, rushing in all directions like a stampede of ten thousand horses. The void hummed, as if this world was about to be washed away by the seawater.

A loud explosion echoed, and all the yellow giants transformed into countless yellow grains of sand, merging back into the desert.

A gust of wind blew, sweeping up countless yellow grains of sand. After whirling around, they transformed into hundreds of yellow giants, hundreds of feet tall, wielding swords, blades, and staffs, attacking Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan frowned. To shake off the human-faced Jiao, they had entered this desert and were immediately attacked by a restriction.

"Wife, quickly find the array core, or we'll be trapped and die here," Wang Changsheng urged. The human-faced Jiao hadn't dared to pursue them into the desert, surely knowing its dangers. Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to search for the array core.

A large amount of blue seawater emerged, forming blue water curtains to protect them.

The yellow giants continuously attacked Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wang Changsheng destroyed one wave, but another soon appeared; they were simply endless.

Wang Ruyan took out her Heaven-Burning Fan. With a gentle wave, a vast expanse of scarlet flames surged forth, and the void, unable to withstand the intense heat, tore open.

The scarlet flames struck a certain point in the void, which exploded open, revealing a massive black hole. Powerful strong winds swept out, and large amounts of yellow sand were sucked into the black hole. Not long after, the black hole healed. "Not here!"

Wang Ruyan frowned. She had never encountered such a situation before; the restriction here was truly profound.

She lightly slapped her right hand towards the void, and a giant blue palm covered in mysterious musical notes flashed out. The entire void twisted and deformed, emitting a humming sound.

The blue giant palm struck another part of the void, where numerous cracks appeared. The cracks converged, forming a massive black hole, and large amounts of yellow sand were sucked in. Fortunately, the black hole quickly healed.

Wang Ruyan's expression turned grim. Intense blue light burst from her and Wang Changsheng's bodies, Wang Ruyan's aura intensified, and the red eye between her eyebrows emitted a dazzling red light.

This time, in the northwest direction, she saw a faint, shimmering shadow. Around it were many weakly glowing light clusters, which were all false array cores she had tried attacking, but to no avail.

The shadow's location was hundreds of thousands of miles away. Wang Changsheng covered Wang Ruyan as they headed towards the shadow's direction, and not long after, they arrived at the void near the shadow.

Wang Ruyan pointed her finger towards the void, and a blue halo swept out, striking the void where the shadow was. The void fractured into numerous cracks, shattering into pieces.

A gigantic "Forbidden" character fell out of the void, emitting a dazzling yellow light.

The blue halo swept past the "Forbidden" character, which shattered into countless yellow light specks. All the yellow giants attacking Wang Changsheng stopped and transformed into countless yellow grains of sand.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief. The yellow light specks slowly gathered, seemingly trying to reform the character.

Wang Changsheng quickly conjured the Azure Luan Boat, and carrying Wang Ruyan, they flew high into the sky. Wang Ruyan cast spells to attack the yellow light specks, shattering the already half-formed specks. However, not long after, these yellow light specks gathered again, slowly forming a massive "Forbidden" character, and vanished into the void.

At this point, the Azure Luan Boat had flown out of the yellow desert, appearing above a desolate plain where the sky was gray.

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to observe the plain and found no restrictions.

Wang Changsheng released hundreds of bee puppets, directing them to fly towards the plain, but found no abnormalities.

The bee puppets surveyed an area of 100,000 miles in all directions without triggering any restrictions. Even then, Wang Changsheng remained uneasy.

Wang Ruyan conjured a yellow-glowing talisman, its surface bearing a human figure pattern. She struck it with a hand seal, and the yellow talisman brightened intensely, transforming into a graceful girl in a yellow dress. Runes flickered across her body, and her eyes were vacant; it was a Soul Fusion-stage Talisman Soldier.

She detached a wisp of her divine sense, attaching it to the Talisman Soldier. The Talisman Soldier walked forward, with the bee puppets leading the way.

After she had walked for more than ten miles, some bee puppets suddenly dismembered, as if cut by sharp weapons.

Wang Changsheng frowned. The bee puppets had flown over this spot just now without triggering any restrictions. "This is the Void Origin Spirit Annihilation Restriction, one of the Ten Great Ancient Restrictions! This type of restriction can only be set up in spatially unstable places. Once laid, it shows no abnormalities normally and only triggers after a certain amount of time," Wang Ruyan explained.

To refine array talismans, she needed some understanding of array formations. Master Miaode had mentioned this kind of restriction to her, which only triggers after a certain amount of time. If they assumed there were no restrictions and advanced without caution, they might be annihilated by it.

"Can you see those restrictions now?" Wang Changsheng pressed.

"Yes, I can see them now. We just need to avoid them, but we still need to be careful." Wang Ruyan nodded. She and Wang Changsheng walked forward, surrounded by the Talisman Soldier and bee puppets.

Along the way, Wang Ruyan saw many faint, shimmering gray lines. Any bee puppet that touched these gray lines was instantly dismembered.

A day later, they walked out of the plain, appearing at the foot of a towering peak that pierced the clouds. The mountain was barren of vegetation and looked desolate.

Wang Changsheng lightly slapped his right hand towards the void, and countless blue seawater emerged, forming a hazy blue giant hand. With unstoppable momentum, it slammed onto the peak, which shattered into pieces, sending dust billowing. "An illusion array!"

Wang Ruyan frowned. Her Li Fire True Eyes clearly saw that the mountain peak still existed, but ordinary eyes could not perceive it.

"Could it be the control hub?" Wang Changsheng speculated, "The restrictions here are so powerful, even including one of the Ten Great Ancient Restrictions. I find it hard to believe there isn't a valuable treasure. Who would set up such powerful restrictions to protect a place of no value?"

He released Wang Tungtian and Wang Mengli, having them investigate.
