409 The Stone’s Origin Is Extraordinary
The old man sighed. “Although I’m the artifact spirit of a divine weapon, I don’t have much offensive power.”
Shen Fei looked at the old man and asked, “Then, can you help me remove the restriction on this stone?”
The old man looked at Shen Fei and shook his head. “I didn’t expect you to actually want to break this restriction. Are you sure you know what you’re doing? Although this stone is a restriction that my previous master personally set up, the power contained within it has never been seen by him. It’s almost impossible for you to crack it. The restriction was installed by an Emperor-tier expert, after all”
“How would we know if we don’t try?” Shen Fei said. Then, his eyes flashed with a chilling light. A monstrous fighting spirit erupted from his body, and his fighting spirit swept through the entire cave.
“Brat, you’re courting death! You actually dare to challenge the restriction my previous master set up!” The old man shouted with a look of disappointment.
The cave trembled as a terrifying pressure emerged. It enveloped Shen Fei and the artifact spirit, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
“What terrifying power!” Shen Fei exclaimed.
“This is the Emperor’s Might!” the old man said.
Shen Fei looked at the old man with suspicion. “The Emperor’s Might? Could it be a restriction set up by an actual imperial lord? But how could the restriction on this stone involve someone so powerful?”
“I’m not sure about the details, but given the history of the Ancient Astral Road, there shouldn’t be any more imperial lords in our realms. They should have left this part of our galaxy long, long ago.
“Furthermore, my previous master was no longer an imperial lord himself, but the restriction contained in this stone is definitely extraordinary,” the old man muttered to himself.
Shen Fei could not help but ask, “Then what should I do now? Do I have to kneel here forever?!”
“The restrictions left behind by an imperial lord are not easy to break. They require special methods. However, if we’re lucky, we might be able to do it. It’s just that I’m worried that the success rate would be low. You might fare better if you try to go somewhere else and gain more knowledge about it. It’s better than wasting time here!”
“Fine!” Shen Fei nodded and prepared to leave.
But suddenly, the stone released a dazzling multicolored light. In an instant, this multicolored light rushed into Shen Fei’s body. It integrated itself into Shen Fei’s blood essence and soul power immediately.
“Huh? This…”
This completely stunned Shen Fei. In the next moment, a huge amount of memories surged into his mind like a flood breaking through a dam. Shen Fei fell into a strange state of comprehension.
These were memories related to refining techniques and array formations; the restriction contained in this stone was a set of high-grade formations and refining techniques. It was called the Fire Control Formation.
Shen Fei super-brain completely comprehended it after a short period. At the same time, the bloodline power of the Sacred Vessel of the Nine Suns in his body all upgraded into the strongest grade. Moreover, his physical body went through unimaginable changes. The strength of his physical body could be said to be overpowering; both attributes had reached a new level.
‘What is going on?’ Shen Fei suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes shone brightly. “So that’s how it is. There’s actually a formation hidden in this stone!” he muttered.
The old man looked at Shen Fei and could not help but ask, “Kid, you actually understand the Fire Control Formation?”
“Yeah, something like that.” Shen Fei smirked.
The old man praised him, “Amazing! I didn’t expect your comprehension of array formations to be so incredible at such a young age! And you comprehended this restriction in such a short period of time. I see you even fused it into your own body. You’ve essentially turned your flesh and blood into imperial-grade gold blood.”
“Thank you for the compliments.”
“Keep these new lessons close. This stone is not something that anyone can break, and the power of this restriction is not something you can withstand. You need to have the strength of an Emperor or a Saint. So even if you comprehend the restriction array, it’s still useless,” the old man said.
At that moment, a series of explosions echoed throughout the cave. Destructive bolts of lightning struck the canyon valley outside. This lightning was strong enough to leave a crater where it struck.
Boom!
The lightning had struck the stone, causing a series of deafening explosions. The mountain walls of the entire canyon valley began to crumble. Even the surrounding forest was not left untouched. The sky became dark, and it looked like the end of days.
After the terrifying lightning subsided, Shen Fei looked at the stone walls of the cave and saw that it was completely undamaged.
“What is this stone made of?” Shen Fei asked.
“You don’t have to worry about that. You just need to know that you can’t break it. Moreover, it can absorb other things to supplement the power of the restriction, making the restriction stronger!” the old man said indifferently.
“Hmm…” Shen Fei’s expression changed. He could stand again, and the stone he brought with him into the portal was nearby on the ground. So, he went to touch it while activating the Crimson Demonic Flame.
Immediately, the restriction produced a violent rebound force that pushed him away. Shen Fei retreated a few hundred meters and almost fell to the ground.
His internal organs were affected and he bowled over to cough up blood. His face turned pale.
Shen Fei clicked his tongue in displeasure and looked at the stone. “This stone is indeed an imperial artifact.”
Then, he moved to pick up the stone without using the flame technique.
Boom! Suddenly, the stone emitted a dazzling light, and a ball of scorching red flames emerged from it.
When the old man saw the flame appear, he could not help but exclaim, “Scarlet Fire! It’s Scarlet Fire! It’s ranked eighth on the imperial fire list! ”
“You know it?” Shen Fei said in surprise. The Scarlet Fire floated in front of Shen Fei while emitting a scorching temperature.
“This is a genuine imperial artifact, and it has already developed intelligence. If you can subdue this ball of fire, the stone will be yours,” the old man said.
Hearing the old man’s words, Shen Fei became excited. He quickly gathered his bloodline power to wrap it around the Scarlet Fire.
Rumble…
The Scarlet Fire let out a trembling sound… and attacked Shen Fei!
