“Is that the Guardian Treasure of the Secret Cave Saints?”
“But he clearly had the upper hand, so why suddenly use the Guardian Treasure to protect himself?”
The crowd was puzzled, unable to comprehend Chu Feng’s actions.
They couldn’t understand why, when Chu Feng had clearly suppressed Lu Yingzhuo, even leaving him no room to fight back, he suddenly used a treasure to shield himself.
Could it be that Lu Yingzhuo was about to unleash an even more powerful technique, and Chu Feng had seen through it?
Amid their confusion, the crowd could only speculate wildly.
“That… could it be the legendary Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman?!”
Suddenly, a cry of shock came from the crowd—it was Master Feng You.
At first, Master Feng You’s expression was one of disbelief, his gaze scanning the steel fortress.
But soon, through his observation, he confirmed his suspicion.
“It’s true, it’s really the legendary Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman.”
“To think that the Supreme Elder of the Heavens Sect obtained such a treasure.”
“To use such a precious item just like that?”
“What a pity, such a pity.”
Master Feng You’s face was filled with regret, even pain, as if something he deeply cherished had been lost.
“Master, are you saying that’s a treasure used by the Heavens Sect Elder, not the Secret Cave Saints?”
Many in the crowd directed their questions at Master Feng You.
After all, his words seemed completely contrary to their assumptions.
“It’s not just any treasure—it’s an extremely precious one.”
Master Feng You then briefly explained the origin of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman to the crowd.
From his explanation, the crowd finally understood what the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman was.
It turned out that the talisman dated back to ancient times, discovered in an ancient ruin.
When found, there were quite a few of these talismans.
But because each Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman could only be used once, their numbers dwindled over time.
By now, they were nearly extinct, making them invaluable. For many spirit masters and martial cultivators, they were not just treasures but items to be carefully preserved.
Many who obtained an Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman wouldn’t use it, instead cherishing it as a collector’s item.
Of course, the power of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman was extraordinary.
It could not only trap an opponent but also had the power to kill them.
Moreover, due to its unique nature, once thrown, it would inevitably hit its target, leaving no chance for escape.
Even if the opponent’s strength surpassed the talisman’s power, they couldn’t avoid its tracking.
The only way was to break the talisman with their own strength after it materialized into a physical form.
Though the strength of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talismans varied, in Master Feng You’s view, this particular one could kill a First-Rank Supreme, and even a Second-Rank Supreme trapped within would likely face dire consequences.
“Master, in your opinion, does the Secret Cave Saint trapped inside have any chance of escape?”
Someone asked curiously.
“The power of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman is too great.”
“Its value comes with good reason.”
“In my view, unless he has the cultivation of a Third-Rank Supreme, even a Second-Rank Supreme would struggle to escape,” Master Feng You said.
His words sent the crowd into a frenzy of excitement.
After all, they were all on the side of the six major powers, hoping the Secret Cave Saint would face deserved punishment.
“Phew—”
But compared to the crowd’s jubilation, Lu Yingzhuo, who had just used the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman, let out a long sigh of relief.
Truth be told, after facing Chu Feng, he was filled with apprehension.
He had hesitated to use the talisman because it was so precious.
He was afraid!
Afraid that even using the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman wouldn’t defeat his opponent.
But now, it seemed the talisman had worked well.
At the very least, it appeared to have sealed Chu Feng.
Otherwise, after so much time, there would have been some reaction from him.
The talisman, once it trapped its target, would unleash its power to torment them.
The longer someone was trapped inside, the closer they were to death.
Those with ability would break free immediately.
Those who didn’t were likely incapable of breaking the talisman’s power.
Feeling that Chu Feng was likely trapped, Lu Yingzhuo approached the armor.
Before touching it, he instinctively glanced back.
Seeing that Chu Feng was still trapped within the talisman, he reached out and took the armor from midair.
Then, he donned it.
With the armor on, Lu Yingzhuo felt entirely different.
He exuded a sacred aura, as if one with the heavens and earth. Most importantly, he could sense that the sea of lightning above could no longer obstruct him.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, Lu Yingzhuo soared upward, heading straight for the depths of the sky.
At that moment, everyone held their breath.
The moment they had all been waiting for had arrived.
Finally, someone could pass through the terrifying sea of lightning to seize the sacred weapon!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lu Yingzhuo reached the sea of lightning.
“Argh—”
But the moment he touched it, he let out a scream.
Then, like a broken kite, he plummeted from the sky.
“What…”
“What’s going on?”
“Could it be that even with the armor, he can’t pass through the sea of lightning?”
At that moment, whether from the six major powers or the onlookers, everyone was bewildered and uneasy.
After all, the sea of lightning’s power was terrifying.
So far, the only known way to pass through it was to wear the armor forged from twelve treasures.
But now, even with the armor, Lu Yingzhuo couldn’t pass through.
Panic set in.
For a moment, they were at a loss.
If they couldn’t pass through the sea of lightning, they couldn’t reach the sacred weapon.
Let alone find the legendary mysterious supreme treasure.
Whoosh—
However, just as the crowd was at a loss, Lu Yingzhuo removed his helmet.
“Damn it.”
When his twisted, aged face was revealed, everyone could see his deep unwillingness.
“You’re truly useless.”
But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
As it did, Lu Yingzhuo and the Heavens Sect disciples within the bounded world paled.
Though the onlookers outside couldn’t hear, they heard it clearly.
The voice came from within the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman.
And it was strong and resonant, not at all like the voice of an injured person.
