Chapter 667 Qiankun Pearl, an ancient relic!

After the celebration, Luo Yao did not stop.

He knew very well that although the immediate crisis was temporarily resolved, the undercurrent in the practice world might break out again at any time.

In order to nip it in the bud, he decided to use the few clues he obtained in the cave to conduct an in-depth investigation into the true origin and purpose of the ancient formations and beads, hoping to find a complete solution to the problem.

It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is always cruel.

He wanted to investigate, but he couldn't find any results.

In desperation, Luo Yao stayed in the town for a while.

Then, he left this small town silently.

...

Outside the town, Luo Yao rode a horse purchased from the town and kept moving forward quite leisurely.

Although, this horse is not very fast.

It was even much slower than him walking.

But it doesn't matter...

After all, you have to experience it slowly.

Being fast has its benefits, and being slow will naturally have its benefits.

For example, just a few dozen miles away from the town, Luo Yao encountered a group of bandits wearing animal skins and holding gapped swords in a deep mountain.

"Boy, do you know where this place is?"

"Do you know who I am?"

The leader of the bandit is a big man with a sinewy face. He rides a skinny old horse and holds a rusty broadsword. His eyes are filled with greed and ferocity.

Behind him were a dozen similarly dressed bandits, holding wooden sticks or worn-out swords. They were obviously a group of desperadoes who had been hanging out in the mountains and forests all year round, making a living by robbing passers-by.

Luo Yao frowned slightly. He naturally knew that this was a wilderness and it was not surprising for bandits to appear.

But he did not show the slightest panic or fear. He just glanced at the group of bandits and said calmly: "I don't care where this place is or who you are."

As soon as these words came out, the big man's face suddenly darkened. He did not expect that the seemingly weak young man in front of him would be so disrespectful to him.

He shouted angrily, brandished his sword, and rushed up with the bandits behind him: "Humph, you ignorant boy, I will let you know the consequences of offending our Black Stone Village today!"

Facing the siege of the bandits, Luo Yao did not take action immediately.

He knew very well that although these bandits were not highly cultivated, they were more powerful because of their numbers. If they attacked rashly, they would inevitably kill a large number of them in one blow.

So, he dodged and easily avoided the big man's first blow. At the same time, he waved his right hand lightly, and a sword energy shot out from his fingertips, instantly cutting off the wooden stick in the hand of the bandit at the front. .

"ah!"

The bandit screamed, the wooden stick in his hand broke into two pieces, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

This turn of events shocked the rest of the bandits. They did not expect that this seemingly ordinary young man could have such superb swordsmanship.

However, Luo Yao did not give them a chance to breathe.

He shuttled between the bandits like a ghost, and every time the tip of the sword was tapped, a bandit fell.

His swordsmanship is both fast and accurate, ruthless and steady, as if every sword move has been carefully calculated and planned.

However, in just a moment, all the bandits who were still aggressive were knocked to the ground by Luo Yao, and they wailed one after another.

When the big man saw this, his expression changed drastically. He did not expect that the Black Stone Village that he was so proud of would be so vulnerable.

There was a strong fear and unwillingness in his heart, but more importantly, he was shocked and awe at Luo Yao's strength.

"You...who are you?"

The big man asked with a trembling voice.

Luo Yao retracted his sword and looked at the big man calmly: "Me? I'm just a passerby passing by."

Hearing this, the big man's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, including reluctance and relief.

He knew that the gap between himself and such a strong man could not be bridged no matter what.

He stood up slowly, bowed deeply to Luo Yao, and said in a low and sincere voice: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. Blackstone Village has recorded what happened today. If there is a day, I will definitely repay you generously."

Luo Yao nodded lightly and didn't say much.

He understood that although these bandits behaved badly, it was not easy to survive in these troubled times.

He is not a murderous person, and he would not take action easily if they did not actively provoke them.

Seeing this, the big man turned around and shouted to his bandits: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go back and recuperate!"

After saying this, he took the lead in getting on his horse and hurried away with a group of defeated soldiers.

Luo Yao looked at their retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The path of spiritual practice is inherently a lonely and difficult path.

On this road, some people do whatever it takes to gain strength, and some struggle to survive. However, there are very few people who can truly stick to their hearts and protect justice.

He put his thoughts back and moved on.

As he goes deeper into the wilderness, he encounters more and more challenges.

There are ferocious monsters, cunning bandits, and monks hiding in the dark with evil intentions.

But no matter what difficulties he faced, Luo Yao always remained calm and tenacious. He used his sword to protect the justice and kindness in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Luo Yao's cultivation level has also steadily improved through continuous experience. His swordsmanship has become more sophisticated, and his control of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become more comfortable.

But he knew that this was far from enough.

In the world of cultivation where the strong are respected, only by constantly breaking through oneself can one stand at a higher peak.

One day, Luo Yao walked to a valley where few people went, surrounded by dense primeval forests. The sun could only shine through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows.

There was a strange fragrance in the air, as if some ancient and powerful power was sleeping here.

He stopped and looked around sharply, with an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

This may be the clue he has been looking for for a long time-the real hiding place of the ancient formation and the mysterious beads.

Luo Yao took a deep breath and slowly walked into the depths of the valley.

As he went deeper, the surrounding scene began to change subtly. It seemed that there were countless eyes peeping in the quiet forest, and a repressive and ancient breath came to his face.

Suddenly, a low humming sound came from the ground, and then the ground began to shake slightly. Ancient runes emerged from all directions, interweaving into a complex pattern, trapping Luo Yao in it.

"This is... an ancient restriction!"

Luo Yao was shocked, but soon calmed down.

He knew that it was not wise to break through such a restriction by force. Only by finding a way to crack it could he escape safely.

So, he began to observe the runes around him carefully, trying to find out the rules and flaws.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Countless memories and knowledge about formations and runes flashed through Luo Yao's mind. He kept trying and deducing, and every failure brought him closer to success.

Finally, after countless attempts, Luo Yao discovered a subtle change in a rune, which was the key to the entire restriction.

He did not hesitate to activate the spiritual power in his body and hit that point accurately.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the restriction shattered and turned into dots of light that dissipated into nothingness.

Luo Yao felt his eyes light up, and his vision suddenly became clear. An ancient and solemn altar appeared in front of him.

On the altar, the mysterious bead he had dreamed of was lying quietly in the center, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

Luo Yao felt an indescribable excitement and expectation in his heart. He walked forward slowly and carefully held the bead in his hand.

At this moment, the bead suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a huge torrent of information poured into Luo Yao's mind.

That was the secret about the origin, purpose and ancient power of this bead.

It turned out that this bead was called "Qiankun Bead", which was left by a powerful man in ancient times. It contained the universe and could contain all things, and it also contained the supreme magical power to change the world.

And the ancient formation was a test set up to protect the Qiankun Bead from being used by evil people.

Luo Yao suddenly realized that he finally understood that the hardships and trials he had gone through along the way were all for the awakening and inheritance at this moment.

He held the Qiankun Pearl tightly, his heart filled with unprecedented firmness and faith.

Just as Luo Yao wanted to leave.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

A terrifying roar sounded not far from him.

The roar was deafening, as if it came from an ancient giant beast, with endless majesty and anger, making the entire valley tremble.

Luo Yao's face suddenly became solemn, and he quickly turned around, looking in the direction of the sound with a sharp gaze.

I saw a huge beast covered with black scales slowly walking out from the depths of the dense forest.

Its eyes were like burning flames, flashing with bloodthirsty light, and every step it took was accompanied by a violent vibration of the ground, as if a hill was moving.

"This is... an ancient relic, the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus!"

Luo Yao was horrified. He didn't expect that in this uninhabited valley, such a terrifying existence would be hidden.

The Black Scale Tyrannosaurus obviously noticed Luo Yao. Its huge body suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Luo Yao like an arrow from a bow, with a deafening roar, as if it wanted to tear everything in its way into pieces.

Faced with this sudden crisis, Luo Yao did not hesitate at all.

He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly. A powerful sword intent burst out from his body, resonating with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a series of sharp sword beams that surrounded him.

"Try my sword!"

Luo Yao shouted in a low voice, and swung the long sword. A dazzling sword light cut through the sky, with the power of destroying the world, and went straight to the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus.

However, as an ancient relic, the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus is much stronger than ordinary monsters.

It roared, and the scales all over its body suddenly lit up, forming a black shield, which blocked Luo Yao's attack.

The sword light collided with the shield, and a deafening roar broke out. The air around seemed to be ignited, forming a sea of ​​fire.

Luo Yao retreated violently, looking at the still ferocious Black Scale Tyrannosaurus with a serious face.

"It's not an easy opponent."

Luo Yao thought to himself, knowing that he couldn't fight it head-on.

So, he quickly adjusted his state and began to use his keen perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to find the weakness of the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus.

After some observation, Luo Yao found that although the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus was strong, its movements were a bit clumsy, especially when turning and moving sideways, there would be a short gap.

He was moved and a plan came to his mind.

"Another sword."

Luo Yao suddenly rose up, shuttling through the air like a light cloud. His swordsmanship became erratic, sometimes as light as the wind, sometimes as fierce as fire, making it hard to figure out.

The black-scaled Tyrannosaurus roared, constantly waving its claws and tail, trying to beat Luo Yao into a pulp.

But Luo Yao's body movements were too flexible, and it always missed by a hair's breadth and failed.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Luo Yao seized an opportunity and took advantage of the gap when the black-scaled Tyrannosaurus turned around to pierce its left eye with a sword.

"Roar!"

The black-scaled Tyrannosaurus roared in pain, its huge body trembled violently, and blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding land red.

Luo Yao took the opportunity to distance himself from the black-scaled Tyrannosaurus. His face was pale, but his eyes flashed with a determined light.

He knew that although he had severely injured the black-scaled Tyrannosaurus, the other party was an ancient relic after all, with extremely tenacious vitality, and he must not take it lightly.

Sure enough, after a brief pain, the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus became furious again. It rushed towards Luo Yao desperately, with only endless killing intent in its eyes.

Facing this life-and-death moment, Luo Yao took a deep breath. He felt unprecedented pressure, but at the same time, it also stimulated the hidden power in his body.

"Qiankunzhu, help me!"

Luo Yao silently chanted in his heart, and a huge force surged out of the Qiankunzhu, merging with his spiritual power to form an unprecedented powerful force.

"The last sword."

Luo Yao shouted, and swung his long sword. A sword light containing the power of Qiankun cut through the sky, with the power of destroying the world, and directly pierced the chest of the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the earth, the huge body of the Black Scale Tyrannosaurus fell to the ground with a bang, dust flew, and the air around seemed to solidify.

Luo Yao stood there, gasping for breath, but his eyes were extremely firm.

He knew that he had just experienced a life-and-death test, but it was also this test that made him more clearly aware of his strength and potential.

He slowly walked towards the corpse of the black-scaled Tyrannosaurus and took some precious materials from it. These were all valuable resources for his future cultivation and making of magic weapons.

Then, Luo Yao's eyes fell back on the Qiankun Pearl in his hand.

This bead seemed to have absorbed some kind of power in the previous battle. At this moment, it was emitting a more dazzling light, as if it contained endless possibilities.

He gently stroked the Qiankun Pearl, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

This bead was not only what he had obtained after going through untold hardships, but also an important treasure on his future cultivation path.
