Chapter 304: Retaliation!

　　The Locking Heaven Formation collapsed!

　　The few elders and teachers suffered the strong backlash, and they all dropped down. Even Ye Zhiting moved back a few steps.

　　At this point, Jiuyou Tower was covered by countless rays of light, and the view was mesmerizing. But when the people present saw this scene, fear crept into their hearts!

　　If the Locking Heaven Formation collapsed, then they would have no way to contain the ferocious fiend in Jiuyou Tower!

　　“Uncle-Master, what should we do?!” asked Sun Zhongyan hurriedly.

　　Ye Zhiting swallowed the bloody scent rushing up his throat. “Quick! Restore the Locking Heaven Formation!”

　　…

　　In Jiuyou Tower.

　　Chu Liuyue clearly heard the thunder, and she also saw the lightning striking down at the same time before spreading from the top of the tower.

　　Countless rays of light appeared on the walls around her, and they rushed toward the transparent cauldron in the middle.

　　Gradually, a clear pattern appeared in the middle of the transparent cauldron.

　　“卍!” Chu Liuyue’s heart jumped. This word…

　　Screech!

　　At this moment, the black apparition in the transparent cauldron suddenly let out a shrill shriek. The next moment, it waved its wings violently and rushed straight for Chu Liuyue.

　　Tuan Zi immediately blocked the apparition for Chu Liuyue.

　　A gigantic wing swung across, and the terrifying wave of air caused Tuan Zi to fly.

　　Chu Liuyue immediately hugged Tuan Zi into her arms and waved her palms. Then, a transparent barrier immediately appeared in front of them.

　　Hong!

　　The black fire smashed against the crystal barrier harshly! But this time, the black karmic fire seemed much stronger than before!

　　After a momentary tense situation, a crack appeared on the crystal barrier.

　　The maniacal murderous intent in the gigantic black eagle’s eyes shone as it harshly slapped with its sharp claws.

　　Kacha!

　　The crystal barrier broke.

　　Chu Liuyue looked up suddenly.

　　The sharp claws were right in front of her eyes, and they were about to land and shred her into pieces.

　　She moved backward without hesitation and waved her hands. Red fire suddenly emerged from her palm, and it formed a large screen at an observable speed.

　　Hong! Hong! Hong!

　　The two balls of fire slammed against each other harshly, and fire sparks exploded everywhere.

　　The horrifying aftershocks spread and caused Chu Liuyue to fly backward.

　　Bang!

　　She hit the wall behind her. Her body shook, and she felt her internal organs being squeezed into a ball as if they were going to explode at any time.

　　…

　　At the same time, Rong Xiu—who was also inside Jiuyou Tower—had already walked up to the seventh floor.

　　Upon seeing the destroyed seventh-floor barrier, a look of understanding flashed across Rong Xiu’s eyes as if he had long guessed who had done this.

　　The surrounding black karmic fire started spreading toward the seventh floor. But when it passed by Rong Xiu, it instinctively made way for him.

　　Rong Xiu lifted his leg and continued walking forward. However, countless silver rays flowed over at this time and started repairing the damaged barrier at an observable speed.

　　In the blink of an eye, the barrier had become as good as new.

　　Rong Xiu’s eyes gradually turned cold, but his lips had curved up into a sinister smile. “You want to stop me?”

　　Nobody answered him, but the black karmic fire filled the barrier.

　　It clearly didn’t want Rong Xiu to go up to the seventh floor.

　　Murderous intent flashed across Rong Xiu’s eyes as he raised his hand with distinct joints slightly.

　　A petrifying suppression quickly gathered, but Rong Xiu suddenly stopped just as his hand was about to land on the barrier.

　　Rong Xiu closed his eyes as if he were listening closely to something. He then opened his eyes, and his brows moved as his expression became playful. “It’s actually… Since this is so…”

　　His palms moved, and a tremendous force rapidly gushed out!

　　Then, this force rapidly froze outside the barrier, finally forming silver pillars as thick as a person’s arm.

　　From afar, it looked like a cage was locking up the seventh floor.

　　Rong Xiu’s scarlet lips curved up slightly as if he was waiting to watch a good show.

　　…

　　On the seventh floor.

　　Chu Liuyue slowly rubbed her shoulders.

　　The previous impact had almost crushed her shoulder blade. However, the screen formed by the red fire had luckily stopped the black karmic fire.

　　Chu Liuyue watched the black fire and red fire battle intensely as she thought about how to get out of her current situation.

　　She scanned her surroundings, and her gaze landed on the transparent cauldron.

　　For some reason, she kept getting the feeling that the cauldron was silently calling for her. This feeling was initially very weak, but it became stronger and stronger, causing her to be unable to ignore it.

　　The ferocious fiend has no physical body, only a soul. It surviving for thousands of years must have something to do with the Pit of Heavenly Origins.

　　Chu Liuyue didn’t know who contained the ferocious fiend here, but from the engraving on Jiuyou Tower, she could tell that Jiuyou Tower was meant to contain the beast.

　　The black karmic fire kept burning on and on in the cauldron. Then…

　　There must be something wrong with the transparent cauldron! Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue was determined and went straight for the cauldron.

　　Noticing Chu Liuyue’s actions, the black apparition chuckled as if it were mocking Chu Liuyue’s stupidity. That cauldron is a heavenly item! It isn’t something that Chu Liuyue can touch! A stage-two warrior would probably die a horrible death before they even got near it.

　　The pair of red eyes stared at Chu Liuyue with much mockery. It was just thinking of how to swallow Chu Liuyue whole; it hadn’t expected Chu Liuyue to offer herself up.

　　Chu Liuyue walked to the front of the cauldron, and her palm suddenly slammed on top of the 卍 pattern!
