Chapter 1411 The Holy Palace Trap

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion about the runes on the stone gate, the huge stone gate opened slowly without warning.

As the stone gate opened, a powerful golden light burst forth, accompanied by an ancient and weathered aura.

This aura seemed to contain the essence of countless ages, which moved people deeply.

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to this scene, and the original noise disappeared, replaced by the excited pounding of everyone's hearts.

"Treasure!" someone shouted, and the crowd surged into the stone gate like a tidal wave.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen had a sudden thought and unleashed the power of the Great Dao Law, "I am the earth."

His body quickly merged with the surrounding soil, turning into nothingness and silently disappearing into the earth.

All of this happened so quickly, and with the golden light providing cover, and everyone's attention being completely drawn to the treasures within the Holy Palace, no one noticed that Lu Chen had quietly disappeared.

Stepping through the stone gate, a vast and boundless space unfolds before your eyes, inlaid with countless glittering gems, as dazzling as stars adorning the night sky.

In the center of this space floated a massive palace crafted from magical artifacts, the energy emanating from it captivating every cultivator present.

Several streams flowing with spiritual liquid surround the palace, and occasionally a few spirit fish leap out of the water, the light emanating from their bodies testifying to their extraordinary value.

However, what is most eye-catching are the magical treasures and celestial ores displayed at the entrance of the palace.

These treasures radiated a captivating luster, each one capable of unleashing a bloodbath throughout the entire divine realm.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately engaged in a frenzied struggle, fighting and grabbing, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.

However, Lu Chen did not participate in the chaos. He solemnly observed everything from the soil outside the stone gate, using the power of the law "I am the earth".

The reason he didn't participate was because he didn't find the old man in the Dao Cultivation Realm until the stone gate opened, which was obviously abnormal.

Just as Lu Chen was filled with doubt, a figure appeared in front of the stone gate like a ghost. It was the Holy Emperor of the Dao Cultivation who had been actively organizing everyone to break the formation earlier, but he did not enter the stone gate.

"Huh? This old guy was so eager before, why is he only coming now?" Lu Chen muttered to himself, while watching the old man's every move warily.

Lu Chen vaguely sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and what happened next made his pupils shrink sharply.

A cold smile appeared on the lips of the Holy Emperor Yudao, his eyes flashing with icy light. Then, he swiftly formed hand seals.

In an instant, countless array flags flew out from his sleeves, arranging themselves into an incredibly complex pattern in the air. These flags exuded a chilling aura, each one inscribed with profound runes, containing boundless killing intent.

As the array flags were lowered one by one, a powerful restrictive force spread out, enveloping the entire space.

The cultivators, who were still engrossed in vying for the treasure, suddenly found that the surrounding scenery had become blurry and the path leading to the palace had disappeared.

Instead, the surrounding space began to distort and deform, forming eerie vortexes that seemed to devour anyone who approached.

And all of this happened in the time it takes to breathe.

"It's actually a trapping and killing formation, and it's even a level six holy formation. Is the old man trying to seal everyone off?" Lu Chen, hidden in the soil, thought with a chill.

This formation not only restricts the movement of cultivators, but also allows them to launch continuous fatal attacks, each comparable to the full-force attack of the Dao Cultivation Saint Emperor.

Most of the people present were below the cultivation level of the Dao Cultivation Realm, and now that they were trapped in the Killing Array, the outcome was predictable.

"This Holy Emperor of the Dao must have planned this all along, taking advantage of everyone's greed to lure them into this carefully laid trap."

"Perhaps the cultivator who leaked the information was this old guy. Luckily, I was careful, or I would have fallen into his trap," Lu Chen thought to himself.

At the same time, the trapping and killing formation began to take effect. Some cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation levels were so frightened by the sudden change that they tried to break free of the formation's constraints, only to be sucked into those strange vortexes and disappear without a trace.

Those cultivators with greater strength unleashed their magical treasures in an attempt to counter this invisible pressure.

However, the old man clearly wasn't going to give them much of a chance to resist. He changed his hand seals again, continuously casting spells and uttering a soft shout:

"Surround, kill, and suppress!"

Instantly, the runes within the trapping formation shone brightly, and countless chains formed from the laws of the Great Dao appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards the cultivators trapped within the formation.

These chains were extremely fast and incredibly sharp, causing death and injury wherever they went; even several fellow Daoist Saint Emperors were not spared.

Everyone has their own cause and effect, and Lu Chen knew this well. Therefore, he did not want to stop the old man's plan. After all, in this world full of variables, it is often the wisest choice to protect oneself.

However, just as Lu Chen was preparing to make a clean getaway, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed. He turned his head and a strange red light flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at the patch of soil where Lu Chen was hiding.

Lu Chen was surprised when he saw this: "What's going on? Did the old guy find out? How is that possible?" You should know that after you use the power of the Great Dao Origin, "I am the earth", you are almost integrated with the surrounding environment and it is difficult for others to detect you.

Just as Lu Chen was about to leave quietly, the old man gave him the best proof.

The old man swiftly tossed out several array flags, which traced mysterious trajectories in the air and quickly formed a small trapping array, directly enveloping the area where Lu Chen was located.

In an instant, Lu Chen felt the space around him freeze, as if he had sunk into a sticky swamp, making it extremely difficult to move.

"Damn it, the old guy really did discover me." With a thought, Lu Chen revealed himself.

No sooner said than done.

The old man's lips curled into a cold smile, and then, with lightning speed, he unleashed a punch.

This punch, seemingly simple, contained boundless power and speed, as if capable of tearing through space itself. Struck after the opponent's attack, it arrived first, aiming directly for Lu Chen's vitals…
