Chapter 1356: Chapter 665: Qiankun Pearl, Ancient Times’ Relic! _2

In this world of strong prevailing over the Cultivation World, only by constantly breaking through oneself can one stand at a higher pinnacle.

One day, Luo Yao came to a rarely visited valley, surrounded by dense primitive forests, with sunlight barely piercing through the treetops, casting mottled and colorful shadows.

The air was filled with a peculiar fragrance, as if some ancient and powerful force was asleep here.

He stopped his steps, his sharp gaze sweeping around, with an inexplicable premonition rising in his heart.

This place might be the clue he long sought—the true hiding place of the Ancient Formation and the mysterious pearl.

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

As he ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery began to change subtly, countless eyes seemed to be watching secretly in the previously quiet forest, a depressive and ancient aura hit him.

Suddenly, a deep humming sound emerged from the ground, followed by a subtle vibration, ancient runes appeared from all directions, intertwining into a complex pattern, trapping Luo Yao within.

"This is... an Ancient restriction!"

Luo Yao was startled, but soon calmed down.

He knew very well that facing such a restriction, forcibly breaking through is not a wise move. Only by finding the solution to break it can he escape safely.

Thus, he began to carefully observe the surrounding runes, trying to find patterns 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, deducing, each failure bringing him closer to success.

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

Without hesitation, he activated the spiritual power within his body, accurately hitting that point.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the restriction shattered, dissipating into glowing dots invisibly.

Luo Yao felt a shine before his eyes, his sight suddenly cleared, revealing an ancient and solemn altar before him.

On the altar, the mysterious pearl he dreamed of was quietly lying at the center, emitting a soft and mysterious glow.

Luo Yao felt an indescribable thrill and anticipation, stepping forward cautiously, cradling the pearl in his hands.

At that moment, the pearl suddenly radiated a dazzling light, a massive influx of information flooded into Luo Yao’s mind.

It contained secrets about the origin of this pearl, its uses, and the ancient power it bore.

It turned out that this pearl is called "Qiankun Pearl", left by a powerful figure in Ancient Times, containing heaven and earth, capable of accommodating all, and holding supreme divine skills altering the world.

And the Ancient Formation was set to protect the Qiankun Pearl from being used by evildoers, presenting a set of challenges.

Luo Yao suddenly realized, understanding that the hardships and trials he faced were all for the awakening and inheritance at this moment.

He firmly gripped the Qiankun Pearl, his heart filled with unprecedented determination and belief.

Just as Luo Yao was about to leave.

Suddenly, the earth shook and trembled.

A terrifying roar arose a short distance away.

The roar was deafening, seemingly coming from an ancient giant beast, carrying endless majesty and anger, making the entire valley tremble.

Luo Yao’s face grew serious instantly, he quickly turned around, his eyes like torches, looking toward the direction of the sound.

Just then a gigantic beast covered in black scales slowly emerged from the depths of the dense forest.

Its eyes burned like flames, flickering with a bloodthirsty glow, every step causing violent tremors in the ground, like a small mountain moving.

"This is... an Ancient emerging species, Black-scaled Violent Dragon!"

Luo Yao was utterly shocked, he did not expect such a terrifying existence to hide in this rarely visited valley.

The Black-scaled Violent Dragon evidently noticed Luo Yao too, its massive body suddenly accelerated, like an arrow off the string rushing towards Luo Yao, roaring deafeningly, as if intending to tear apart anything before it.

Facing this sudden crisis, Luo Yao did not hesitate for a moment.

He tightly gripped the longsword in his hand, spiritual power within his body surged furiously, a strong sword intent erupted from him, resonating with nature’s spiritual energy, forming sharp sword lights surrounding him.

"Try this sword of mine!"

Luo Yao shouted, swinging the longsword, a dazzling sword light pierced the sky, carrying a destructive force, heading straight for the Black-scaled Violent Dragon.

However, the Black-scaled Violent Dragon, being an Ancient species, its flesh was far more formidable than ordinary Demonic Beasts.

It roared, its scales suddenly lighting up, forming a black shield, bluntly blocking Luo Yao’s strike.

Sword light and shield collided, erupting a deafening boom, as if igniting the surrounding air into a sea of fire.

Luo Yao rapidly retreated, his face solemnly gazing at the still ferocious Black-scaled Violent Dragon.

"Indeed, not an easy adversary."

Luo Yao thought to himself, knowing well he could not fight it head-to-head.

Thus, he quickly adjusted his state, began utilizing his keen sense of nature’s spiritual energy, searching for the Black-scaled Violent Dragon’s weaknesses.

After observing for a while, Luo Yao found out that although the Black-scaled Violent Dragon’s body was strong, its movements were rather cumbersome, especially during turns and sideways moves, there would be brief gaps.

His heart stirred, a plan formulated.

"Another sword."

Luo Yao leapt up, like a light cloud shuttling through the air, his swordsmanship became unpredictable, sometimes light as wind, sometimes fierce as fire, making it difficult for anyone to fathom.

The Black-scaled Violent Dragon roared, constantly swiping its giant claws and tail, attempting to smash Luo Yao into pulp.

Yet Luo Yao’s movement technique was exceptionally agile, it always narrowly missed, failing to succeed.

Finally, in a fierce confrontation, Luo Yao spotted an opportunity, using the gap when the Black-scaled Violent Dragon turned, pierced its left eye with a sword.

"Roar--!"

The Black-scaled Violent Dragon roared in agony, its enormous body trembling violently, blood gushed like a fountain, staining the surrounding land red.

Luo Yao took this chance to distance himself from the Black-scaled Violent Dragon, his face pale, but his eyes flashing with resolute gleam.

He knew although he severely injured the Black-scaled Violent Dragon, since it was an Ancient species, its life force was extremely tenacious, he could not let his guard down.

As expected, after a brief moment of pain, the Black-scaled Violent Dragon furiously charged at Luo Yao again, eyes filled with endless killing intent.

Facing this critical moment of life and death, Luo Yao took a deep breath, feeling unprecedented pressure, yet simultaneously triggering the latent power within him.

"Qiankun Pearl, lend me a hand!"

Luo Yao silently said in his heart, a massive force surged from the Qiankun Pearl, merging with his spiritual power into an unprecedentedly strong force.

"The final sword."

Luo Yao shouted, swinging the longsword, a sword light infused with Qiankun’s power pierced the sky, carrying a destructive force, directly penetrating the Black-scaled Violent Dragon’s chest.

"Boom--!"

Amidst a earth-shaking loud noise, the Black-scaled Violent Dragon’s massive body collapsed to the ground, dust flying, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Luo Yao stood still, breath unsteady, yet his eyes unusually determined.

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

He slowly walked towards the Black-scaled Violent Dragon’s body, extracting precious materials from it, valuable resources for his future cultivation and crafting Magical Treasures.

Then, Luo Yao’s gaze returned to the Qiankun Pearl in his hand.

This pearl seemed to absorb some kind of power during the battle, now emitting an even more dazzling light, as if containing endless possibilities.

He gently caressed the Qiankun Pearl, a surge of inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

This pearl is not only a treasure he obtained through countless trials and tribulations, but also an important treasure in his future cultivation path.
