Being able to endure this long is quite remarkable already.

Li Yan's condition isn't any better.

As the host of the magic platform, he bore the most burden. At this moment, his eyes were blood-red, his internal organs felt like they were being roasted, his throat was cracked and bleeding, and he couldn't even speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a puff of green smoke spewed out.

Mingshanzi, although having the highest Dao, was also exhausted. Seeing Li Yan trying to get up, he sighed and advised, "Young Hero Li, you've done your best, no need to push it, be careful not to ruin your foundation."

"Don't worry, the demon Zhao Jie is dead, they won't succeed either..."

Just as he finished speaking, his eyes widened.

He saw the clouds and mist suddenly swirling above the Shu Prince Mansion, with fierce winds, flying sand, and rolling stones around.

In the square in front of Chengyun Hall, white mist violently gathered, forming a huge vortex, with golden light flickering inside, as if something was emerging.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly shook violently.

Connecting many shops, bricks and tiles crashed down.

This is the Earth Dragon Roll, some hastily built houses with unstable foundations even collapsed in the wind and snow.

"The Earth Qi anomaly, it's the Nine Tripod!"

A disciple of Qingcheng gritted his teeth, eyes tearing apart.

"Impossible!"

Mingshanzi was also dumbfounded, somewhat in disbelief.

They put in so much effort, even killing Zhao Jie who tried to steal the tripod, how did the Nine Tripod still get fished out.

"Stay here!"

A sharp shout came from the front, and a figure whooshed out.

Looking again at the area where Li Yan was, it was already empty.

Mingshanzi gritted his teeth, wanting to struggle to get up, but the stabbing pain from his internal organs made him suddenly spit out blood and collapse to the ground.

The people of Qingcheng were already out of combat strength.

On the other side, Li Yan sprinted with all his might, before he could land, the Daluo Dharma Body quickly began mending all the injuries.

Crack!

The Dharma Body suddenly shattered, a soul fire extinguished.

It was because after entering Shu, to quickly reach Dan Strength, he continuously practiced at the limit, the Daluo Dharma Body had long accumulated many hidden injuries.

This time hosting the magic platform far exceeded his limits.

His internal organs were long scorched by fire Qi, and his heart and blood vessels were broken countless times, an injury severe enough to destroy his foundation.

This repair naturally cost him a life.

However, Li Yan was only dazed for a moment and then ignored it.

The Hidden Energy under his feet erupted, while he used the North Emperor Divine Travel Technique, with the rooftops underneath exploding, shooting out like an arrow.

With just two leaps, he crossed the damaged Xiao walls.

At this moment, the Chengyun Gate was ablaze.

The Black Feather Guards of the Shu King all used powerful Divine Fire Guns, relying on the advantageous terrain, they persisted till now.

Yet, they too were spent.

The barrels of the guns in their hands turned red, with many exploding directly, even the pre-prepared magazines were almost exhausted.

What's more troublesome, originally there were many evil cultivators defending the city above, using spells to prevent the soldiers from climbing the wall.

But earlier, Erlang Golden Pill made them afraid to show their heads, Wen Lingguan descended, burning several to death, the remaining seeing the situation was bad, fled frantically.

The soldiers immediately bypassed the most dangerous city gate, some set up ladders to climb the city wall, others used blades to wedge into cracks in the bricks and scaled the surrounding walls.

From high above, it looked like a torrent bursting a dyke.

While the Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely and other masters who came to assist had already crossed the walls, preparing to stop the demons from seizing the tripod.

Swoosh!

Li Yan leaped, stepping high on the city wall.

Wu Ba was also on the city wall, coordinating with Sha Lifei to reload the Tiger Venerate Cannon, intending to use the heavy weapon against the enemy.

Seeing Li Yan crossing the wall, Wu Ba, with a tacit understanding, directly raised his arms, pushing with his feet.

Li Yan landed, stepping right on his arm.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba roared with anger, and Li Yan unexpectedly soared again, crossing nearly a hundred meters in the air, heading towards the golden light.

But before approaching, he realized something was wrong, his expression changed, and he did a Kite Flipping in midair, landing in the vortex of white mist.

Not only him, but Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan also didn't get close, their faces grave, staring at the central golden light.

Just saw in the center of the vortex, the golden light flickered, standing a giant tripod, with the outer wall engraved with the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, the terrain of Jiuzhou, and various Divine Beasts from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," including Goumang, Xiangliu Snake, etc...

At such a distance, Li Yan could see clearly.

The embossed map above was indeed the ancient Jiuzhou Map, the engraved Divine Beasts, large and small, scattered in different areas.

Among them, Chu Territory was Jingzhou, on which was prominently carved the Nine-headed Bird.

Seeing this, Li Yan was suddenly enlightened.

Wang Daoxuan once said that among Earth Masters, there is a saying that during Ancient Times, the Innate Astra Bane Qi was abundant, with not only Dragon Veins but also exceptional Spirit Veins, all metaphorically represented by Divine Beasts.

Like the Nine-headed Bird in Chu Territory and the Ba Snake in Shu.

Could it be that what's engraved above is the original terrain?

The Nine Tripods are too mysterious, most people have never seen them. There are records in history books, but they are all speculated based on what predecessors have left.

No clear statement of what they are really like.

Of course, none of this is the reason why Li Yan stopped.

He could feel that these Nine Tripods condensed extremely powerful Innate Astra Bane Qi, even transforming into golden light, far exceeding any Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

It's as if the Spiritual Energy of an entire famous mountain is focused into one tripod.

On the wall of the tripod, a silhouette was hanging, precisely Young Master Wuxiang.

At this moment, his whole body was distorted, with only half of it left, grabbing the tripod's ear, laughing crazily, "Mine, it's mine!"

Completely unaware that his physical body was disintegrating bit by bit, like a collapsing sand tower, gradually vanishing.

Ultimately, the whole person turned to dust.

The air still carried his unwilling voice:

"It's mine..."

Seeing this, Li Yan vaguely guessed.

These Nine Tripods are Sacred Artifacts of the Divine State, far above all National Sacrificial Divine Artifacts, traversing thousands of years inside the Dragon Veins, gathering unknown amounts of Dragon Energy.

Using heaven and earth as a room, the Divine Land as a furnace, and Dragon Vein's energy as fuel, it had already been re-refined into an incomprehensible treasure.

Ordinary means couldn't even get close.

Just like Young Master Wuxiang, touching it forcefully, directly turned to ashes.

This bastard!

Li Yan's eyes were dark, roughly guessing the reason.

Young Master Wuxiang got the treasure from the Dragon Palace Water Mansion. Zhao Jie was dead, but this guy slipped in and brought out the Nine Tripods.

The Nine Tripods flickered between reality and illusion, it seemed only half emerged.

Even so, it caused quite an impact.

The Earth Vein in the entire Chengdu Prefecture was chaotic, the ground trembled, rumbling sounds kept coming from below, as if a giant beast was roaring.

Li Yan was also at a loss on what to do with this situation.

The Nine Tripods turned into a Mysterious Magical Artifact, impossible even to approach.

Surrounded by a white vortex, the howling wind whipping his hair and robe flying fiercely.

It's due to his profound Dao and skill that he managed not to be disturbed by the Astra Bane Qi outside the white vortex, while other magicians couldn't get close.

Inside the white vortex, it wasn't just him.

Including Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan, both had entered and were conversing quietly across from him, taking out a large piece of beast skin from their bosom.

These two were clearly preparing to take the tripod.

Seeing them appear, Li Yan didn't hesitate, he immediately took out the Hook Paper from his bosom, gripping it in his hand.

These two, one is a yin criminal, the other a Heavenly Court fugitive.

Even if they were concealing their aura with Divine Artifacts, once seen, Yin Bureau soldiers and Heavenly Court Thunder Department could be summoned to capture them.

Yet, to Li Yan's shock, the Hook Paper lost its response.

"Hahaha…"

Lu Sheng across laughed carefreely, "Kid, do you really think those heavenly guys are omnipotent?"

"As long as this item is here, they can't even descend!"

Li Yan gritted his teeth, gripping the Duan Chen Blade, he intended to circle to the opposite side, driving the two out of the vortex.

Clang!

At that moment, a blood light attacked.

It was Blood Shaman Ba Dazha.

With the Nine Tripods appearing, the old demon was beaming with delight.

"Kid, meet your end!"

Within the vortex, the Astra Bane Qi was raging, making spellcasting difficult, therefore, what Ba Dazha used was purely Qiang Blade Technique, mixed with some Mystic Sect Blade Techniques.

The flashing blood light thrust towards Li Yan's chest.

Clang!

Li Yan raised the Duan Chen Blade to block.

The collision of the two blades instantly sparked.

Both had Martial Arts Cultivation at the peak of Force Transformation, the artifacts in their hands, one was a Qiang treasure, the other a Flood Dragon Slayer Saber, truly a match for each other.

What annoyed Li Yan even more was that while Ba Dazha was blocking, Lu Sheng and Li Wenyuan had already unfolded the skin bag, cautiously approaching the Nine Tripods…
