The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1217 - 638: The Underground Palace Collapses, Heaven and Earth Change
Boom!
Wu Ba's Tiger-Squat Cannon exploded with a roar.
Back at Qingcheng Mountain, the Tiger-Squat Cannon had already been modified.
The original design featured a carved tiger's mouth as the muzzle, with two supporting legs below.
After all, the power of this thing was too great, and it used new gunpowder.
From the initial design, it was never intended for use as a single-soldier weapon.
This was originally impossible, but because of the Open Kiln Conference, many Magic Lineage Cultivators from all over the Divine State gathered on Qingcheng Mountain, including Artifact Refining masters. Together, they remodeled the Tiger-Squat Cannon.
The tiger's mouth remained unchanged, but the angle of the front legs was altered for a dual-hand grip, and a shoulder pad was added to distribute the force partially backward and downward during firing.
Even so, only someone with Wu Ba's monstrous strength could withstand it.
As the cannon roared, a hundred and eight vents at the back of the cannon tube shot out a large amount of white vapor, causing dust to fly up behind him while the terrifying force transmitted downward.
Crack!
A web of cracks instantly appeared on the ground beneath Wu Ba's feet.
Despite the commotion, he stood firmly on the ground.
The true horror was its power.
Wu Ba wasn't using scatter shot, but a solid lead bullet, which had been modified by Sha Lifei, filled with a lot of phosphorus fire and new gunpowder. Once it hit the target, it would explode.
In an instant, the cannon fire penetrated the underground palace entrance like a red dragon.
The Five-Colored Corpse Spiders pursuing from the rear and all the clay coffins were torn apart like paper.
Debris and mud fell, burying the massive decaying insect limbs, and the tunnel entrance was also sealed.
Rumble!
Before everyone could catch their breath, a thunderous roar came from deep within the Earth Vein.
This was the Tiger-Squat Cannon bullet exploding underground.
But all this was far from over. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Like a dying beast struggling, the "crack" of the collapsing rock layers was endless.
Cracks spread like a web from the entrance to the surroundings.
Wu Ba opened his mouth in disbelief, looking at the Tiger-Squat Cannon on his shoulder.
"Retreat quickly, the underground palace is collapsing!"
Li Yan loudly reminded them, pointing out the cause.
It was because this Fake Yin Bureau underground palace from the Qin Dynasty was flawed from the time of its construction by Xu Fu. The power of the Demon Army of the Six Kingdoms corroded it day and night, and coupled with the passage of time, it was already on the brink of collapse.
This shot from Wu Ba's cannon completely broke the balance.
The entire underground palace below began to collapse, the towering fake "Luo Feng Mountain" also partially caved in amidst the falling rocks, slowly tilting, and the "Luo Feng Six Palaces" on top completely collapsed.
Whoosh~
Fierce winds howled, and black mist surged.
A thick, turbid black Evil Spirit Qi, carrying dust, spurted out.
It was the Demon Army of the Six Kingdoms that had been sealed for so long.
The rolling black mist condensed in the air into a ferocious ghost face, surging upwards.
And at this moment, the "Suihou Snake Pearl" began to exert its power.
Just as Yin Jiuge said, this Fake Yin Bureau of the Qin Palace was arranged with the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The "Earth" and "Man" positions had defects, only the "Heaven" position was intact and firm.
The twenty-eight meteors forming the "Twenty-Eight Stars" trembled in unison above.
Located at Beichen, the "Suihou Snake Pearl" shone brightly at this moment.
What Li Yan and others didn't know was that the arrangement of this "Suihou Snake Pearl" was very particular.
It was an array using twenty-eight meteors to set up the Twenty-eight Stars Array, connecting the Earth Vein Qi of the entire Mang Mountain, even linking the Dragon Vein, with the "Suihou Snake Pearl" as the Array Eye, transforming into a canopy to suppress it.
For a thousand years, this array made it difficult for the Demon Army of the Six Kingdoms to break free.
And the "Suihou Snake Pearl" was equally extraordinary.
This item had already become spiritual, suppressed by this array while being invaded by the Qi of the Dragon Vein for a thousand years, showing signs of transforming into a dragon.
With the Demon Army of the Six Kingdoms breaking free, it actually began to actively suppress.
White Innate Astral Qi gushed out from the Treasure Bead, spiraling in the air, under the white glow of the Snake Pearl, like a Divine Dragon tumbling in the clouds, clashing with the black mist of the Demon Army rising below.
The Evil Spirit Qi was a mutated form of Innate Astra Bane Qi.
While the "Suihou Snake Pearl" absorbed a large amount of Qi from the Dragon Vein of the Divine State.
Although not comparable to the Nine Tripod, it was indeed mystical.
The collision of the two forces actually erupted into a dazzling blood-red light...
Rumble!
Li Yan and others quickly retreated.
Only after leaving the Northern Wei Jingling region did the earth fissures stop.
Looking ahead, they saw that a large area of hillside had collapsed, covered with web-like cracks.
The scene was truly shocking.
Everyone was speechless for a long time.
Li Yan hadn't expected that the collapse of the underground palace would cause such a commotion.
"Inside..."
Long Yan'er was just about to ask, but her eyes widened in horror.
In those cracks, a hundred-foot blood-red beam suddenly emerged.
At this time, it was only a day before Qingming, although it hadn't rained, the sky was thick with dense clouds.
The blood-red beam shining from the fissures dyed half the sky blood-red...
...
The impact of the underground palace's collapse was felt in many places.
Cuiyun Peak, Shangqing Palace.
This was where Laozi once practiced Alchemy, also the first Taoist Temple in the Divine State named as a "Palace."
During the Great Tang, it was a Royal Taoist Temple, with deep roots.
Within the temple, red walls and green tiles, clusters of pine and cypress, and a large Pill Furnace gently emitted blue smoke.
Over a dozen Daoists sat around the Pill Furnace, waving horsetail whisks, performing mantras and spells.
Perhaps because Laozi practiced Alchemy here, Shangqing Palace was also famous for Alchemy.
They not only sold ordinary Elixirs but also refined Mystic Sect True Pills.
The pursuit of immortality through external Elixirs had already claimed the lives of many Emperors, yet there were still those who continued forward.
These Daoists were adept at scheming. The current court situation gave them yet another opportunity.
The current Emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty, since his youth, had been wise and mighty, controlling the court, accomplishing many great feats, raising the national power of the Great Xuan Dynasty to new heights. Furthermore, with the opening of the sea, an even greater opportunity was on the horizon.
