Chapter 1529: Chapter 1525 Upper City Chapter 1529: Chapter 1525 Upper City On the way, Shen Luo and the two others also encountered attacks from some Armor and Qingqiu Fox Clan members, but all were easily resolved by the Nameless Elder and Shen Luo.

Soon, the three of them arrived beneath the Qingtian Mechanism.

Although it was not the first time Shen Luo had observed the Qingtian Mechanism up close, he was still deeply shocked. This giant simply standing there gave him the oppressive feeling as if a Taiyi Cultivator himself was present.

The Nameless Elder took out his Elder's Token, waved it towards the Qingtian Mechanism, and the Yan Patterns on the token also lit up in circles.

Afterward, Shen Luo saw a stream of flowing light rising swiftly from beneath the giant's feet, encircling the giant like a ring of light, shooting straight into the high altitudes deep into the clouds.

“The prohibition has been opened, let's go,” commanded the Nameless Elder in a low voice.

The three of them leaped up at the same time, rushing directly towards the sky.

Soon, Shen Luo reached just above the arms held up by the Qingtian Mechanism, and at first glance, he saw Tianji Upper City, which was held in the palm of the giant.

Unlike the chaotic state of the Lower City, the Upper City was peaceful and serene, without any signs of fierce battles.

“What's going on? They haven't attacked the Upper City?” Shen Luo asked in surprise.

“The prohibitions of the Upper City were set up not only by the First Generation City Lord but also separately by the Second Generation City Lord and the Little Master. Once Tianji City is under attack, it will automatically trigger. Even if Che Qingtian and his men could break the prohibition left by the First Generation City Lord, they definitely can't break the other two layers of prohibition momentarily; naturally, they can't advance into the Upper City,” explained the Nameless Elder.

“If they are not in the Upper City, where is the mechanism controlling the Qingtian Mechanism?” asked Nie Caizhu.

“It should be there, right?” Shen Luo looked up at the majestic head of the giant and slowly said.

The face of the giant was chiseled with sharp edges, devoid of any emotion, looking cold and indifferent like a heartless deity overlooking the Human World.

As the three were about to approach, suddenly a yellow halo lit up above their heads, and a massive yellow pillar appeared out of nowhere in the void, smashing down towards them.

The yellow pillar was engraved with complex Yan Patterns, clearly indicating it was no ordinary object.

Shen Luo was the first to meet it, raising his arm and channeling the Huang Ting Jing to push against the pillar.

The moment his palm touched the pillar, he felt a force as overwhelming as a mountain bearing down on him, momentarily overwhelming him. Taking a deep breath, he raised his other arm and switched to using both arms for support.

Although Shen Luo managed to hold up the yellow pillar with both hands, his figure was still forcibly pressed downward, nearly falling onto the arm of the Qingtian Mechanism, when he finally stabilized his stance.

But just then, from above the giant's ear, a “hehe” laughter was heard, and a figure descended from the sky like a meteor, smashing towards the yellow pillar.

With a loud “boom.”

The figure landed heavily on the yellow pillar, and immediately a ring of Yan Pattern illuminated under its feet.

Subsequently, layers of yellow halos burst forth from under their feet, continuously pressing down the yellow pillar towards Shen Luo.

Shen Luo felt the force pressing down from above suddenly tripled and could no longer maintain his posture in mid-air, and he was heavily pressed down onto the arm of the Qingtian Mechanism.

With his hands pushing against the sky and knees bent, his body shook back and forth, barely managing to divert the force.

Just as he was prepared to exert force to counterattack, suddenly there came an intense fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Aura from above, accompanied by a muffled grunt.

Shen Luo immediately felt the pressure on his body lessen, raised his arm, and tossed out the huge pillar.

The massive earthy yellow pillar flew out for dozens of feet. Midair, it gradually shrank down to the thickness of a regular room's column, before it was caught by a sturdy big man with a bulging forehead and a flat nose, who clutched it single-handedly at his waist.

Shen Luo vaguely remembered this guy seemed to be called “Chi Man'er” and appeared not very bright. He was the least noticeable among that group, yet unexpectedly, his strength was no less formidable.

“Daoist friend Shen, are you alright?” After repelling Chi Man'er, the Nameless Elder asked.

“I'm fine.” Shen Luo leaped up and arrived by the Nameless Elder's side.

At this moment, he noticed that the Nameless Elder's right hand was wearing a pale golden weird glove adorned with silver Yan patterns, obviously another piece of Armor.

“It seems I miscalculated. Let's join forces and make a quick decision,” said the Nameless Elder solemnly.

“Alright.”

As Shen Luo's voice fell, he gestured towards Chi Man'er and from his sleeves, jets of firelight shot out. Seven Pure Yang Flying Swords simultaneously soared out, forming a geese formation as they charged toward Chi Man'er.

As Shen Luo pinched out a magic spell, flames burst forth on the seven flying swords, and a giant firebird in the shape of a Golden Crow materialized, letting out a clear cry reminiscent of a sword's ring.

The Golden Crow firebird surged straight forth, undaunted, Chi Man'er clasped his earthy yellow pillar with both hands, twisted his waist, swung the massive cylinder horizontally striking towards the firebird.

The Yan patterns on the yellow pillar lit up. Before the pillar reached its destination, a yellow halo sprung forth, its attack range suddenly increased manifold. It struck like a giant shield colliding with the Golden Crow firebird.

However, just as the two were about to collide, Shen Luo flicked his fingers upwards once and then downwards.

The Golden Crow firebird, transformed from the seven swords, immediately soared up, narrowly avoiding the attack of the yellow halo. In an instant, it dove toward the lower area, its enormous fiery beak leading the attack–specifically the sword edge of the leading sword, stabbing straight at Chi Man'er's flank.

Just as the strike was about to hit him, a thin figure from Hou Shan suddenly appeared beside him, palm supporting a Bronze Gourd, with a green vortex shining at the mouth facing the firebird.

Shen Luo, seeing this, had alarm bells ringing in his mind and hurriedly summoned the flying swords in an attempt to call them back.

However, the green vortex at the mouth of the gourd had almost enveloped the seven flying swords. The flames on the swords visibly shifted, moving towards the gourd's vortex.

For a moment, the seven flying swords could not be recalled, seemingly on the verge of being swallowed by the gourd.

“Indigo Ocean…” Just then, a light shout came from the side.

An arrow, formed by a piercingly cold aura, struck the Bronze Gourd accurately, causing the body to tilt and the green vortex to be disturbed.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Luo waved his hand, causing the seven flying swords to shiver tremendously, their flames scattering explosively.

The flying swords finally broke free and flew back into Shen Luo's sleeve.

The scattering flames didn't cause much damage to Hou Shan and Chi Man'er, but Nie Cai Zhu's Indigo Ocean Divine Technique formed arrow did leave a layer of frost on the Bronze Gourd that did not thaw for a long time.

Hou Shan felt a bit annoyed in his heart. His gourd, modeled after the Sword Immortal's Sword-nourishing Gourd, was specifically good at capturing others' Magical Treasures, especially Flying Swords.

Unfortunately, its power was limited; it had to catch the opponent off guard to be effective. Now that Shen Luo was on guard, naturally, there was no chance anymore.

He casually collected the gourd and jumped directly onto the giant column in Chi Man'er's hands, crouching as he looked towards Shen Luo and the others.
