Death Grip
The Golden Divine Dragon carved on top of the Bronze Pillar has no eyes, and this issue immediately caught Xing Chen's attention.
This is definitely a breakthrough point, and it is the only way to solve the mystery of the Bronze Pillar.
"I don't know what is hidden within this Bronze Pillar, but no matter what it is, I must first break the restrictions on this Bronze Pillar."
Xing Chen showed a thoughtful expression, his gaze fixed on the hollow eyes of the Golden Dragon.
"Do I need to inlay two eyes on it?" Xing Chen muttered to himself, knowing full well that this method would not work.
The Divine Dragon carved on the Golden Copper Pillar is lifelike, appearing as if it were a real Divine Dragon, exuding a faint Dragon Might. The only flaw is the absence of its two eyeballs.
From a distance, there are only two hollow eye sockets without eyeballs, which not only diminishes the majesty of the Divine Dragon, but also ruins its overall aesthetic.
"Eyes? How can I make the eyes of this Divine Dragon appear? Or is my line of thought completely wrong?"
Xing Chen's brow furrowed tighter as he continuously pondered about the eyes of the Divine Dragon. At the same time, he carefully observed the massive Bronze Pillar again, hoping to find any clues or breakthroughs elsewhere.
"Damn it, do I really have to inlay two eyes for it?"
After a while, feeling somewhat impatient, Xing Chen slapped his hand against the Bronze Pillar, frustrated that he couldn't come up with any solutions. In his anger, he decided to try again and again.
First, he attacked the Bronze Pillar with Martial Arts, then used Soul Power. However, no matter what Xing Chen did, it was futile; his attacks could not inflict any damage on the Bronze Pillar, and his Soul Power was completely ineffective because he couldn't sense the presence of the Bronze Pillar. Attacking it was even more impossible.
"Damn it!" Xing Chen's face darkened, clearly enraged. He was inherently an impatient person, and it had already been quite difficult for him to contemplate for such a long time. Now, he finally erupted.
"Shattering Star Finger! One finger shatters the stars, two fingers break the ground, three fingers extinguish the sky, four fingers dominate the Cosmos!"
In his anger, Xing Chen continuously pointed four fingers at the Bronze Pillar, producing a constant 'clang' sound, yet the Bronze Pillar showed no signs of damage.
However, just as Xing Chen delivered his final finger strike, he distinctly felt that the spot he had struck had actually caved in.
A glimmer of light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes; after such a long time, he had finally found a breakthrough.
Xing Chen retracted his finger and looked at the indented area. The spot that was pressed down by Xing Chen's last finger was a carved Dragon Scale on the Bronze Pillar, which had now sunk down by a full five centimeters.
At this moment, the hollow eyes of the Golden Divine Dragon also showed slight changes; its originally hollow eyes flickered with a fleeting golden light.
"Since this Dragon Scale can be pressed down, then other Dragon Scales must also be able to be pressed down. If I can find all the Dragon Scales that can be pressed down, then the eyes of this Golden Dragon will surely appear?"
A faint light shone in Xing Chen's eyes, but the next moment, a hint of bitterness appeared on his face. Given the size of this Golden Dragon, there were likely not less than a million carved Dragon Scales. Trying each one would take at least seven or eight hours.
"No, I need to think of a more efficient method. Otherwise, if I continue at this speed, by the time Zhao Yiming and the others come out, I won't have been able to test all the Dragon Scales on this Golden Dragon."
A thoughtful expression returned to Xing Chen's face, but in the next moment, he was surprised to find that his Soul Power could actually sense the presence of the Bronze Pillar.
"Could it be that by inadvertently pressing that scale, I changed the restrictions within this Bronze Pillar, allowing me to sense its existence?"
A hint of joy appeared on Xing Chen's face. Since his Soul Power could sense the existence of this Bronze Pillar, it would make things easier. With his perception through Soul Power, he would definitely be able to find out which scales on this Golden Dragon could be pressed down at the fastest speed.
Closing his eyes, Xing Chen released his Soul Power, slowly beginning to sense the presence of this Bronze Pillar. In his perception through Soul Power, over ninety percent of the scales carved on this Golden Dragon were unpressable.
"Here..." Suddenly, Xing Chen opened his eyes and circled to the other side of the Bronze Pillar. He looked at a scale in front of him and slowly reached out to press it down.
As Xing Chen pressed down with his finger, the scale gradually sank in, eventually disappearing completely into the Bronze Pillar, unlike the previous one that had only sunk five centimeters.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a series of piercing sounds filled the air as countless Silver Needles shot out from the sunken scale. These Silver Needles were incredibly powerful, capable of easily piercing through the protective Vital Energy of someone in the Yang Spirit Realm. Moreover, the materials used to create these Silver Needles were undoubtedly very special, making it nearly impossible for Xing Chen to defend against them with his strength.
"Thunderfire Divine Shield!"
Xing Chen's pupils constricted slightly as the Thunderfire Divine Shield rose up to protect him. At the same time, he moved his feet slightly and instantly retreated backward.
This was almost a reflex; when faced with danger, a person's first instinct is to retreat. However, despite his quick movements, he could not match the speed of the Silver Needles.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Countless Silver Needles pierced through the Thunderfire Divine Shield and shot into his body. The Thunderfire Divine Shield, which could withstand attacks from a Yang Po Fourfold expert, had no defensive power against these Silver Needles.
Fortunately, the areas where the Silver Needles pierced through were only his arms and thighs. He managed to avoid critical spots, so although he was riddled with holes from the numerous Silver Needles, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
"There's even a trap mechanism? That damn Palace Master is definitely more sinister than that bastard Thunderfire Deity!"
Once all the Silver Needles had been fired, Xing Chen, panting heavily and covered in holes from the needles, cursed loudly.
But in the next moment, a wave of black gas appeared on Xing Chen's face, and a sharp pain coursed through his body, causing him to groan and collapse to the ground.
"Damn it, there's poison too!" Xing Chen shouted in pain, gritting his teeth as he quickly took out the Venomous Pearl from the Venomous Giant Scorpion that he had obtained from Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain.
It was said that as long as one carried this Venomous Pearl, they would be immune to all poisons. However, Xing Chen had kept it in his Storage Ring and had not worn it on him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a miserable situation of being poisoned.
"I hope this thing can detoxify me, otherwise... otherwise I'm going to be taken away by the Grim Reaper with his scythe!"
Xing Chen complained with a look of despair, while forcing all the toxins in his body to his right hand. The Venomous Pearl he held began to faintly shimmer with Black Radiance, and all the deadly poison within him was drawn out by the Venomous Pearl.
Of course, this was also because he had been pierced all over by Silver Needles; otherwise, the Venomous Pearl wouldn't have been able to extract the poison from his body so smoothly.
After about an incense stick's worth of time, the toxins in Xing Chen's body were finally completely absorbed by the Venomous Pearl, and he swallowed a Healing Elixir before standing up.
Although his body was full of holes from the Silver Needles, it wasn't a major issue since the truly lethal toxins had already been removed. The wounds from the Silver Needles were merely superficial.
"It looks like I need to be more cautious from now on!"
Having learned this lesson, Xing Chen finally understood the importance of being careful. He spent half an hour searching for over seventy pressable Dragon Scales, about thirty of which were traps. Fortunately, Xing Chen had prepared in advance, so these traps did not cause him significant harm.
Otherwise, that would have been a real tragedy!
As Xing Chen pressed one Dragon Scale after another, the eyes of the Golden Dragon gradually became visible. At this moment, it was basically complete; the only thing missing was a certain aura.
That kind of dragon-like dominance and supremacy could also be referred to as Dragon Might. Now, what the Golden Dragon lacked was precisely this.
"Just a little more; as long as this Golden Dragon possesses the aura of its kind, its oppressive presence should reveal whatever is hidden!" Xing Chen looked at the Golden Dragon, noting that he still hadn't checked the pressable Dragon Scales on its neck and head.
Once he found those two pressable Dragon Scales, the restrictions within the Bronze Pillar should completely disappear.
Thinking this, Xing Chen released his Soul Power again, covering the Dragon Scales on the neck and head of the Golden Dragon with it.
After about an incense stick's worth of time, Xing Chen opened his eyes, leaped high into the air, and began to tap several Dragon Scales on the neck and head of the Golden Dragon.
Whoosh!
Xing Chen continuously pointed out, and several Dragon Scales slowly sank down, but one of the sinking Dragon Scales suddenly erupted with endless flames.
The scorching heat was even stronger than the Thunderfire Passage's thunder flames.
"Shadow Shift!"
Prepared in advance, Xing Chen saw the flames surging toward him and swiftly flickered to the other side of the Bronze Pillar.
However, as soon as he appeared, a black beam suddenly struck down. This black beam contained an exceptionally terrifying power, causing Xing Chen's hair to stand on end and his face to show a look of horror.
At this critical moment, Xing Chen abruptly extended his right hand, and the power stored in the Thunderfire Divine Ring erupted instantly, colliding with the black beam.
The force was almost comparable to a strike from a Soul-Searching Realm Expert, and as it collided with the black beam, a terrifying shockwave instantly spread out.
Meanwhile, the Thunderfire Divine Shield rose around Xing Chen. Seizing a moment to catch his breath, Xing Chen used Shadow Shift again, disappearing in an instant and reappearing a hundred meters away, narrowly avoiding the impact of the shockwave.
