Chapter 1153: Chapter 238: My Life Is Not So Easily Taken! (5 Updates)

The magic artifacts were all prepared in advance, eliminating the need for the process of carving the array formation restriction. All that was required was to place them in the designated positions to form the big array.

Seven people each held a magic artifact and headed in different directions. Their familiarity with the Heavenly Net Seven Kill Star Formation clearly indicated this wasn’t their first time doing this.

The seven acted separately, yet at that moment, a faint light fell on the spot they previously stood.

He had just entered here when a mysterious glow, matching the starlight, suddenly appeared behind him. He turned to look, but the wide brim of his hat obscured his vision.

On that mysterious glow, various runes faintly appeared and then vanished without a trace.

"Hmm?" He looked puzzled.

It seemed he didn’t know what it was, but he didn’t sense anything amiss, so he didn’t delve into it and walked towards the mountain. At this time, there were two groups of people in the mountain, unknown to each other, heading towards the depths of the mountain’s core, to the cave abode that had been carved out.

Inside the cave abode, a dark figure sitting cross-legged on an elevated platform was completely unaware, still immersed in his cultivation.

’Why does it seem like I’ve already seen that final step’s barrier, yet no matter what, I can’t break through it?’

In the chaos, Si Mo brushed aside the mist before him and seemed to see a tightly closed door. Instinct told him that if he could open that door, he could step into a realm no one had entered in a long time, to see something new.

At that time, he could protect his loved ones at will.

’I don’t believe it! If someone once reached that step, then I definitely can too! Again—!’

Si Mo once again gathered all his strength into one, charging towards that door. He wanted to force it open; if he could, he would gain new, immensely powerful strength!

Tremendous power transformed into a ferocious black dragon, fiercely crashing against that door.

BOOM—!

A loud noise shook the chaos qi around him, causing it to disperse slightly.

However, after trembling, the great door gradually returned to calm. Its tightly sealed gap showed not even the slightest sign of opening.

’Again—!’

BOOM—!

’Again—!’

BOOM BOOM—!

The ferocious black dragon, carrying destructive energy, kept crashing against the tightly closed door, continuously making deafening sounds reverberate through the chaos.

Finally, under his persistent efforts, that tightly shut great door finally revealed a crack as wide as a finger. Just this was enough to make Si Mo feel overjoyed.

At least, it was hope.

Yet, just as he was about to continue his assault and force the door open, his body, his externally placed warning array, alerted him.

An unprecedented sense of danger invaded his mind, leaving him no time to think. Without regard for the backlash he would face from a hasty exit, he instantly withdrew from his closed-door cultivation state!

In the cave abode, Si Mo suddenly opened his eyes, immediately sensing a powerful attack descending upon the cave.

At this moment, his blood and qi were surging, with signs of damage to his meridians from forcefully exiting his cultivation state. He immediately swallowed an elixir Mu Qingge had prepared for him, suppressing the backlash’s power, then flashed out of the cave.

Just as he moved, the attack fell upon the cave, collapsing the cave Si Mo used for his closed-door cultivation.

The loud noise shook the mountains and cracked the earth.

However, with the protection of the Heavenly Net Seven Kill Star Formation, it didn’t disturb the outside world in the slightest.

By the Menglan River, the soldiers of the Demon Clan were crumbling under the attack of those mysterious things. Not only were those things unkillable, but they also constantly eroded the demon soldiers, causing the Demon Army’s defense here to continuously disintegrate.

"General, at this rate, I’m afraid we will..." the deputy general desperately defended, turning to Yuan Feng.

But this action exposed the weak spot on his neck, and a black insect, seizing the opportunity, rushed at him, burrowing directly under the skin of his neck.

"Ah—!" Yuan Feng felt as if his eyes were about to pop, raising his sword to chop down hard, beheading the deputy general whose skin was starting to discolor.

He thought that by doing so, he could prevent the deputy from becoming a corpse puppet, but he didn’t expect that after beheading the deputy, he couldn’t stop his hair from turning into numerous black insects, attacking others.

...

Above the mountains, Si Mo stood suspended in the air, his robe billowing in the night wind, adding to his imposing presence.

His black hair fluttered in the air, his handsome features, even under the night sky, shone like a luminous pearl, casting a cool radiance across the world, dazzling like moonlight.

Before him, seven figures tightly clad in black surrounded him.

However, before him, these seven appeared despicable and sinister, hiding their heads and showing their tails, utterly lacking in grandeur.

From Si Mo’s amber gaze emanated cold intent, devoid of any emotional fluctuations as he coldly scrutinized these uninvited guests surrounding him tightly.

"Heavenly Net Seven Kill Star Formation? Such a well-calculated plan indeed." Si Mo spoke lightly.

Little did they know, his casual remark stirred immense waves in the hearts of those seven.

He not only saw through their setup at a glance but remained so calm?

They looked at him, sensing that he was the sole ruler of heaven and earth, overlooking all living beings, too noble to be desecrated by anyone. His aura was far superior to theirs, not just by a little!

"So much plotting, just to kill me? You Divine Clan, really have the heart." Si Mo said again lightly. His amber gaze was filled with contempt, as if he didn’t take these seven seriously at all.

However, after he said this, his calm gaze suddenly turned sharp, bursting with a chilling light. He said, "Do you all think that I am so easy to kill?"

As his words fell, a towering momentum erupted from Si Mo, instantly gathering all the demonic qi of the surrounding forests around him, making the surroundings intensely filled with demonic qi.

The faces of the seven changed drastically, seemingly surprised that Si Mo could create such a momentum under such circumstances.

"Flag, come—!" Suddenly, Si Mo shouted.

A black triangular silk flag descended from a vortex that suddenly appeared in the sky, growing with the wind. By the time it landed steadily in Si Mo’s hand, it had grown immense, like a canopy covering the sky.

"This is..."

"The supreme treasure of the Demon Clan, the Demon Soul Flag!" whispered the Divine Emperor.

"The Demon Soul Flag! Didn’t that disappear many years ago? How is it in his hands?" Ziguang asked, shocked.

They were amazed by the supreme treasure in Si Mo’s hands but missed the brief trace of tenderness in his eyes.

This Demon Soul Flag had been retrieved for him by his dear Ge’er!
