The Azure Scale Venerable did not rush forward. He first cautiously circled the meteorite three times, observing it from different angles with his six compound eyes. At the same time, he released hundreds of miniature mantises for reconnaissance; these biological weapons, no bigger than a fingernail, could detect most traps.
There are no signs of spatial blockade.
No other life forms were detected.
"Heaven is helping me!"
The Azure Scale Venerable could no longer contain himself and with a flap of his bone wings, he arrived in front of the crystal.
He stretched out his forelimbs, the sharp claws trembling slightly, not from fear, but from extreme excitement.
Just as the claw tip was less than three inches from the crystal, a sudden change occurred!
"Om-"
The crystal suddenly burst forth with blinding light, and the secret patterns on its surface began to writhe as if alive. The Azure Scale Venerable was horrified and was about to retreat when he found his claws firmly held in place by an invisible force!
"not good!"
He acted decisively, slashing his own right arm with his left claw like a knife.
Click!
His arm snapped instantly, but he immediately stepped back, and the next moment his arm was fully restored.
Just then, the crystal in his eye suddenly floated forward.
A figure appeared there at some unknown time, and the crystal fell into his hand.
Chapter 129 Venerable Qinglin
The Azure Scale Venerable's six compound eyes simultaneously shrank to the size of pinheads, each reflecting the figure with black wings on its back.
The secret patterns flowing on the wings distorted the surrounding starlight, as if the entire space was bowing down to that person.
"It's you, Grayblade!"
His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and the scene of the treasure battle a hundred years ago flashed through his mind, along with the image of the human venerable one who had always been a cold observer.
You framed me!
He roared, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
Its six compound eyes frantically scanned its surroundings, searching for a possible escape route.
Xingchen played with the Illusion Star Core in his hand, the crystal flipping between his fingertips and refracting an eerie dark golden light.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Your reaction wasn't slow."
He casually tossed the crystal to the Azure Nether Venerable behind him.
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
The Azure Scale Venerable's chest heaved violently. At this moment, every nerve ending in his body was screaming, "Run! Run!"
This is clearly a case of being ambushed!
If we don't escape now, we'll probably die here today!
But when he secretly activated the laws of space, he discovered that the entire star field was imprisoned by some invisible force.
Damn it, the space is blocked.
"You... what do you want to do?!"
He questioned her sternly.
Xingchen slowly raised his hand, palm facing upward, and the battle blade appeared in his hand.
"The moment you touch the Phantom Star Core."
The sound of the stars was eerily calm.
"This space has already been locked down."
He made a "please" gesture.
"Come on, if you win, I'll let you go."
A ruthless glint flashed in Venerable Qinglin's compound eyes.
Even a cornered beast will fight, let alone a venerable one.
"Grey Blade!"
He suddenly spread his bone wings, and all the blue scales on his body stood up, making a crisp sound like metal clashing.
"You think you've got me cornered? You dare use me as a testing ground? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
"is it?"
Xingchen's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
"Then let me see for myself!"
The battle blade in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling silver light, the secret patterns flowing along its surface as brilliant as a galaxy. This was a top-tier treasure personally crafted by Xingchen, just one step away from becoming a supreme treasure.
"The Milky Way has vanished!"
With a single slash, the void shattered.
The Azure Scale Venerable's pupils shrank sharply, and the blade light that tore through space was simultaneously reflected in all six compound eyes.
He instinctively crossed his arms, and the blue scales on his body instantly hardened, forming a protective armor.
"clang--"
The deafening clang of metal colliding echoed throughout the star field.
The Azure Scale Venerable was sent flying backward by the slash, his scales on both arms shattering inch by inch, and divine blood seeping out from the cracks.
"What a powerful treasure!"
He was horrified, his eyes fixed on the battle blade in Xingchen's hand.
That smooth blade, the perfect secret patterns, and that heart-pounding aura—this is definitely a top-tier treasure!
Looking at his own pair of ordinary but precious battle swords, Venerable Qinglin felt an indescribable bitterness welling up in his heart. Damn it, why am I so poor!
"Getting distracted during battle can lead to your death."
A cold voice suddenly rang in his ears. The Azure Scale Venerable's scales bristled, and he hastily dodged to the side.
"laugh!"
The Star River Blade grazed his neck, sending up a cloud of blood. Had he not reacted quickly, that strike would have severed his head!
"Roar!"
Enraged, Venerable Azure Scales' bone wings vibrated wildly.
All six compound eyes simultaneously lit up with an eerie green light, and the innate secret technique "Compound Eye Gaze" was activated!
Six green beams of light shot toward the stars from different angles, each containing a potent poison capable of corroding even a Venerable One.
The stars neither flinched nor dodged; the Dark Universe Wings gently fluttered.
"Om~"
The space rippled like water, and the six beams of light strangely changed their trajectories, colliding with each other.
"what?!"
The Azure Scale Venerable stared at this scene in disbelief.
"Your talent and secret techniques are rather weak."
Xingchen chuckled, and the Star River Blade in his hand lit up once more.
"Now, it's my turn."
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Three sword beams were unleashed simultaneously, each precisely targeting Venerable Qinglin's vital points.
These three sword lights actually split continuously during their flight, instantly transforming into a sky full of sword nets!
The first move of the Star River Secret Manual... Starfall!
The Azure Scale Venerable gritted his teeth and wielded a pair of ordinary but powerful battle swords with impenetrable skill.
"Clang clang clang!"
The dense clanging sounds were like a torrential downpour striking metal.
His swordsmanship was indeed exquisite, but with each parry, he could feel the terrifying power emanating from the opponent's sword.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the battle sword in the right hand of Venerable Qinglin finally gave way, and a shocking mark appeared on the blade.
"Damn it!"
He was so heartbroken he almost vomited blood.
He only has this one precious treasure!
"Are you feeling distressed?"
Xingchen's voice was laced with sarcasm.
"Why not submit to me, and I will give you something even better."
"fart!"
The Azure Scale Venerable roared in anger.
"We, the warriors of the Green Mantis Clan, would rather die in battle than surrender!"
He suddenly gritted his teeth and roared.
"Divine power ignited!"
The aura of Venerable Qinglin also increased, instantly reaching the level of a high-level Venerable.
"interesting."
