the chanting was grand and powerful. it was like the murmuring of the gods. it grew louder and louder. the cavern was shaking as the chanting filled the entire world.
“the nirvana scripture!”
long chen’s heart shook. he hadn’t done anything and wasn’t the one who had activated the nirvana scripture. it was the nirvana scripture that had automatically activated itself.
back in the pill tower when he had obtained the nirvana scripture, he had used it to resist the suppression of the cry of the heavenly daos even without the divine ring. its power was incredibly great.
but once he had left the pill tower and abandoned his identity as long san, he had no longer needed to conceal the divine ring. so he hadn’t used the nirvana scripture again.
although the nirvana scripture was powerful, it was greatly lacking compared to the divine ring. but now it had appeared on its own.
all of long chen’s spiritual yuan and attention was focused on controlling the raging flame prison. he hadn’t had the slightest bit of energy left over to activate the nirvana scripture.
as the nirvana scripture activated, the chanting grew more and more resounding. long chen suddenly noticed that the raging flame prison, which had been on the verge of collapsing, had suddenly begun to grow stronger. its runes grew brighter and brighter.
“the nirvana scripture can actually draw out all the flame energy in the world for me to use!” long chen suddenly realized that he had underestimated the pill tower’s sacred flame canon.
he hastily formed hand seals, supporting the raging flame prison. at the same time, he also began to chant. although he didn’t know the scripture’s meaning, when he had cultivated the nirvana scripture, that sound was deeply imprinted in his head. he was unable to forget it even if he tried, and he felt a subtle closeness toward it.
his voice wasn’t the slightest bit sluggish as he chanted. the words just floated out of him. as he chanted, the chanting in the air grew even louder.
the flame energy of the world flowed toward the raging flame prison. it grew stronger and stronger, no longer seeming on the verge of breaking.
“flame prison deathblow!”
long chen was excited as he activated the deathblow form. the raging flame prison instantly shrank, compressing the eight-arm horned devil.
as it shrank, the three-meter eight-arm horned devil was also forced to shrink. its skin had already begun to char this time, and black layers of it began to shed. when that skin shed, it instantly turned to ash.
as that skin fell, long chen suddenly noticed a mass of runes where the eight-arm horned devil’s flesh should be.
that was a slight secret to how this puppet had been made. those runes should be the crux of how the eight-arm horned devil had maintained eighty percent of its power, while also retaining some of its battle instinct.
long chen continued to chant the nirvana scripture as he compressed the raging flame prison. heaven and earth raged. the flame prison’s power continued to increase. the eight-arm horned devil was now just compressed into a five-foot cube. it was impossible to tell its original figure anymore.
“that’s right, where’s the reward? where’s the flying rainbow?”
long chen suddenly thought of the reward. having almost lost his life just now, it seemed now was the time to reap the rewards.
carefully looking around, he suddenly noticed that a path had opened in a wall. walking through it, he saw a sword lying on an exquisite platform.
it was an extremely simple sword. an ancient aura washed over him once he got closer. the sheath didn’t have any runes decorating it, and the hilt was also very simple. there didn’t seem to be any extra craftsmanship. it was just an extremely primitive sword.
when he unsheathed it, there was also nothing extraordinary about it. the sword’s body even seemed a bit dim, and there were some speckles on it as if it had rusted. there were also scratches that looked like someone had used sandpaper on it. it looked very worn down.
but long chen immediately saw that it wasn’t ordinary. although those speckles and scratches made it clearly look like an unremarkable old sword, his vision had surpassed others. through those speckles and scratches, he saw countless runes that were practically impossible to notice with the naked eye. those speckles and scratches were actually formed of runes.
but those runes were too small, so small that they were almost impossible to notice. if long chen hadn’t known that this was a treasure item, he really might have been tricked.
he slowly sent his spiritual yuan inside it. those speckles and scratches lit up, and a faint layer of light appeared over the sword.
he lightly swung it. as a result, it was like space was cut through, and a light sound rang out. he was practically unable to sense any spatial resistance.
the thing that made long chen the most delighted was that when the sword’s edge met the wall, that incomparably sturdy wall was cut through cleanly.
“what a sharp blade!” long chen let out a startled cry. the walls here all had formations supporting them. even in his fight against the eight-arm horned devil, he hadn’t been able to break them. but this sword cut through them like they were tofu.
carefully examining the sword, he found that once he scattered his spiritual yuan, the sword returned to its shoddy appearance.
“hehe, it’s very similar to my own temperament. dressing like the pig to eat the tiger,” laughed long chen.
flipping the sword, he saw two immortal characters on the other side: flying rainbow.
“so you’re the treasure item: flying rainbow. hehe, i’ll be relying on you in the future,” laughed long chen. all his previous regret and depression vanished like smoke.
currently, his spiritual yuan was too limited. he wasn’t able to investigate more of flying rainbow’s secrets. thus, he left that for later.
suddenly, the platform that flying rainbow was on descended. a large gate appeared and light came from the other side. long chen laughed. he could finally leave.
but then once he entered, he was dumbfounded. he had actually entered another cavern. but what was inconceivable was that this cavern was hundreds of miles wide.
he had only just entered when he saw a beam of light in front of him. within that beam was a figure. long chen’s heart sank to an all-time low.
