Chapter 205 Breaking the Barrier
In the sacred celestial palace, filled with spiritual energy, Zhuang Yu's figure transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the treasure pavilion.
His eyes gleamed with unwavering determination; his desire for the treasures of the celestial palace burned like a raging fire, consuming his reason.
The surrounding protective light flickered, intertwining to form impenetrable barriers, like menacing beasts, warning of the fate of trespassers.
However, in Zhuang Yu's eyes, these were merely the last obstacles on the road to the treasure, and he was fearless and forged ahead.
"Zhuang Yu, how dare you trespass into the treasure pavilion!" A furious shout rang out like thunder as Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi blocked Zhuang Yu's path.
Jin Yangzi wore a sinister smile, as if victory was assured. "You think you can do whatever you want just because you've gained the old man's favor? How dare a junior like you set your sights on the Treasure Pavilion? You're courting death!"
Mu Zi chimed in, "That's right, those who know what's good for them should surrender obediently and avoid physical suffering!"
Zhuang Yu stopped and glanced at the two of them, his heart filled with disdain.
These two clowns dare to yell at him?
He sneered, "You two think you can stop me? You're overestimating yourselves!"
The air was thick with tension, as if swords were about to be drawn and a conflict could erupt at any moment.
Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi exchanged a glance, and at the same time, they summoned their magical weapons, which flashed with light and exuded a murderous aura.
"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite!" Jin Yangzi roared and attacked first, his long sword turning into a silver light, aiming straight for Zhuang Yu's face.
Mu Zi followed closely behind, waving her staff, and streams of black mist rolled out, coiling around Zhuang Yu like venomous snakes.
Zhuang Yu remained calm and composed in the face of their attacks.
A slight, mysterious smile played on his lips as he slowly emerged from his storage bag…
Zhuang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and slowly took out an ancient compass from his storage bag.
The compass is dark gold in color, with mysterious runes engraved on its surface, emanating a faint aura of power, as if a sleeping beast is about to awaken.
This was the special artifact he found in the mysterious space—the Barrier-Breaking Disc, specifically designed to break various restrictions.
Zhuang Yu raised the barrier-breaking disc high above his head, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy instantly poured into it. The runes on the disc seemed to come alive, spinning rapidly and bursting forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire treasure pavilion like a miniature sun.
Wherever the light passed, the once indestructible restrictions of the Celestial Palace became as fragile as paper, shattering and dissipating, emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds, like glass falling to the ground.
The moment Zhuang Yu sensed the barrier crumbling, a surge of confidence welled up within him. A smile played on his lips, and his eyes were filled with mockery as he swept his gaze over Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi, as if to say, "Is this all you've got? You dare to try and stop me?"
Upon seeing this, Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi's expressions changed drastically. Their confident smiles froze on their faces, replaced by deep shock and disbelief. They had never expected that Zhuang Yu would have such means to easily break through the Immortal Palace's restrictions.
"We can't let him succeed!" Jin Yangzi roared, his spiritual power erupting as he formed hand seals. One after another, blazing fireballs condensed, carrying a scorching aura, and crashed down on Zhuang Yu.
At the same time, the staff in Mu Zi's hand began to spin rapidly, and thick black mist, like clawing tentacles, wrapped around Zhuang Yu from all directions, its chilling aura sending shivers down one's spine.
Despite the combined attack from the two, Zhuang Yu showed no fear.
He swayed slightly, easily dodging the oncoming fireball.
The scorching flames brushed past him, sizzling in the air, but didn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
He moved with light steps, weaving through the black mist like a ghost. Although the cold black mist was fierce, it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
While dodging, Zhuang Yu changed his hand seals, and a golden light shot out from his fingertips, instantly striking the longsword in Jin Yangzi's hand.
Jin Yangzi felt a tremendous force strike him, and the longsword in his hand hummed, almost slipping from his grasp.
His hands went numb, his body staggered, and his attack was instantly disrupted. His face was full of shock, unable to believe that Zhuang Yu's strength was so formidable.
Having landed a successful blow, Zhuang Yu did not linger in the fight.
He turned around and slapped Mu Zi with his backhand.
The palm strike was fierce, carrying a whistling sound as it blew through the air, dispersing the black mist.
Upon seeing this, Mu Zi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly raised her staff to defend herself.
However, he underestimated Zhuang Yu's strength. The immense power carried by the palm strike sent him staggering back several steps, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.
"You two are still too weak." Zhuang Yu glanced at the two contemptuously, then slowly walked deeper into the treasure pavilion, leaving Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi standing there, looking at each other angrily. Just then, Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. He turned his gaze to the floor of the treasure pavilion and slowly said, "This place seems to have some interest..."
Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly. He did not answer Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi's questions directly, but suddenly moved his feet and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
The next moment, he appeared behind the two of them, his hands quickly forming several complex hand seals.
"Not good!" Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi were both startled at the same time, and an ominous premonition surged into their hearts.
They instinctively tried to take cover, but found that the ground around them suddenly began to shake violently.
Countless runes emerged from the ground, weaving into a giant net that firmly trapped the two of them within it.
"What the hell is this?!" Jin Yangzi roared, frantically slashing at the surrounding runes with his longsword, only to find that the runes were indestructible and showed no signs of being damaged.
Mu Zi also tried to attack with his staff, but the result was the same as Jin Yangzi's. His black mist vanished without a trace the moment it touched the runes.
The two were like wild beasts trapped in a cage, struggling in vain and letting out angry roars of resentment.
Zhuang Yu looked at the two people trapped inside, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
"Enjoy yourselves, gentlemen. This is a 'surprise' I've prepared for you." With that, he ignored the two and swaggered into the depths of the treasure pavilion.
His back view looked so relaxed and at ease, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
Just as Zhuang Yu was about to step into the treasure pavilion, an old voice rang in his ears: "Young man, enough is enough."
Zhuang Yu stopped and turned around, only to see an old man in a gray robe who had appeared at the entrance of the treasure pavilion at some point.
The old man had a withered face, deep eyes, and exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
These are the guardians of the Celestial Palace.
"Senior." Zhuang Yu nodded slightly, showing great respect.
"It is truly remarkable that you possess such formidable strength and methods. However, not all the treasures of this celestial palace belong to you. Know when to stop and do not be greedy," the guardian said slowly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
Zhuang Yu understood that this guardian of the Immortal Palace possessed unfathomable strength, and if he were to fight him head-on, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage.
He smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Senior is right, I understand."
The guardians saw that Zhuang Yu was so sensible.
However, at that moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly frowned, his gaze fixed on the floor of the treasure pavilion, his fingertips trembling slightly, and he whispered, "This place seems a bit strange..."
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Senior is right, this junior will take his leave now." After saying that, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the door of the treasure pavilion!
The guardian was clearly not expected that Zhuang Yu would be so bold as to ignore his warning, and was immediately enraged: "Insolence! You're courting death!" He raised his hand and unleashed a sharp palm strike straight at Zhuang Yu's back.
However, Zhuang Yu had anticipated this and dodged the attack with a quick movement.
Without slowing down, he rushed straight into the treasure pavilion.
Upon seeing this, the guardian's face turned ashen. He roared and followed closely behind.
Inside the treasure pavilion, a dazzling array of treasures shone brightly, illuminating the entire space.
All sorts of rare treasures, divine weapons, and rare materials are available, making it a feast for the eyes.
庄羽
He strode to a row of shelves displaying all sorts of pills, which emitted a rich medicinal aroma.
He picked up a bright red pill, held it to his nose and sniffed it. A refreshing fragrance rushed to his head, invigorating him.
He knew that this was the legendary "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir," which could help cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage improve their cultivation and break through bottlenecks.
Then he walked to another row of shelves, which were filled with all sorts of magical treasures.
He picked up a jet-black dagger, its blade icy cold to the touch and incredibly sharp. With a gentle flick, it left a faint trace in the air.
He knew that this was the legendary "Netherworld Ghost Blade," capable of cutting through iron like mud and killing people invisibly.
Zhuang Yu's gaze wandered among the many treasures, finally settling on a long sword that was entirely golden.
The longsword emitted a dazzling light, its blade covered with mysterious runes, and a powerful pressure swept over him, making his mind tremble.
He knew that this was the legendary "Heavenly Sun Divine Sword," which was incredibly powerful and could cut through anything.
"It's you!" Zhuang Yu thought to himself, reaching out to take down the Heavenly Sun Divine Sword.
However, just then, two angry roars came from behind: "Zhuang Yu! You won't get away with this!"
Zhuang Yu's heart sank when he heard that familiar voice.
He knew that Jin Yangzi and Mu Zi had caught up with them...
