Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 67 Burning the Sky and Destroying the Stone Man! The Great Sage Equaling Heaven Appears?!

Rumble!!!

The roar was deafening, and the earth shook.

Centered on the giant stone man, a cloud of dust rose hundreds of feet high, spreading outwards like a giant wave.

'Even if the Saint-level flying sword can't kill you, it should be able to cripple you!' Shen Yun, whose face was pale, quickly took out two mid-grade spirit stones to replenish his energy.

Fortunately, he had a solid foundation. If it were any other cultivator, let alone fully unleash his power, they would have their spiritual energy drained and lose their ability to fight halfway through.

Although he couldn't fully unleash the power of the sacred artifact, he estimated that the giant stone man would definitely suffer from this attack!

But then...

When a dazzling, colorful light shot out from the gray fog, Shen Yun's expression changed, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Bai Xian'er's waist.

The brighter the light emanating from the crystal stone, the more powerful it becomes!

Whoosh! Bai Xian'er swiftly used her supernatural ability to teleport, disappearing from her spot.

Tear!

Amidst a teeth-grinding tearing sound, a crystal stone figure the size of a human appeared where Bai Xian'er had just stood.

Its hands tore through the void of the secret realm, revealing a massive black hole!

"Holy crap..." This scene shocked Shen Yun so much that his pupils shrank:

'So strong!'

The power of that sword strike was indeed formidable, shaving the stone golem down to such a short size.

But this also caused its strength to skyrocket to an abnormal level!

'Master, I feel it's very strong!!' The thought had just crossed Bai Xian'er's mind when she was so shocked that she tucked all three of her tails between her legs and used teleportation again without thinking.

Because that crystal stone monster disappeared!

Rip!

The sound of tearing through the void rang out once more.

"Keep Xian'er calm, let's see if we can cut it to pieces!" Shen Yun felt he had recovered somewhat and quickly controlled Jinghong to launch an attack on the crystal stone golem.

However, the stone golem is extremely fast and difficult to attack. Fortunately, it will chase after Bai Xian'er, so you just need to wait for her at the spot before she leaves.

The moment the stone golem appeared, Jinghong unleashed a furious barrage of attacks.

This sneaky tactic proved quite effective.

Ding ding ding~!!

A series of clanging sounds echoed through the empty, secret realm.

As stones fell off the crystal man's body, its size gradually decreased.

This spurred Shen Yun to even greater heights, and he quickly immersed himself in battle mode.

The shadows of a sword, a fox, and a stone intertwined to form an abstract painting.

However, as time goes on, the smaller the stone golem, the faster it becomes!

Even the flying swords guarding the point at close range were ineffective.

Seeing that the flying sword had little effect, Shen Yun directly unleashed the Heaven-Burning Flame, setting up a circle of flames around him to imprison him!

As soon as the trap was set, Bai Xian'er disappeared. The crystal stone man that followed had barely appeared when he was engulfed by raging flames.

But the moment flames engulfed him.

hum! !

The stone man's body emitted numerous links of laws, and its dazzling light illuminated the entire secret realm. Furthermore, powerful energy fluctuations surged within its body.

next moment.

boom!!!

A violent explosion resounded throughout the entire secret realm, startling those exploring it, who all stared in astonishment and disbelief into the depths of the realm.

"What the hell is causing such a commotion over there?!"

"Holy crap! That's so bright!!!"

Whoosh!

A blinding white light swept in from the distance, startling everyone into covering their eyes.

"Damn it, a nuclear bomb exploded!!"

"Oh no! Now we're all old friends!!!"

Fortunately, the light dissipated after a short while, and everyone found themselves still alive, which relieved them greatly.

"Roar~!!!" But then, a large group of tattered, paper-white mummies rushed in from the front!

"Haha! Looks like this is a zombie world!" a young man, a post-apocalyptic enthusiast, shouted excitedly.

"Don't panic, everyone! Just smash their heads!"

"I know this one! It has a crystal core in its head!!"

"Cultivator vs. zombie? Easy peasy!"

Battle is imminent.

But soon everyone stopped laughing.

Because these ancient corpses are actually just as strong as them!

And deep within the Stone Golem battlefield.

Shen Yun discovered that the stone man had actually exploded, stripping all the burning stones from its body.

This also allowed him to see a side of the Stone Man that was previously unknown!

The stone figure, shaped like a child, had a bright red body and scarlet eyes, exuding a dark and evil aura.

"Roar!!!"

A roar even more ferocious than the horde of ancient corpses echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

This made Shen Yun's eyes twitch wildly: 'He's enraged to the point of red-hot temperature?!'

In his previous life, he had never seen a stone man in this form, nor had he ever heard this guy make a sound.

We've definitely pushed it to its limit right now!

As Shen Yun expected, the stone golem was now moving at its fastest speed, forcing Bai Xian'er to keep using Blink, leaving him no time to unleash his Flame.

Even if he managed to set up flames in the air, the time difference allowed the Fire Stone Golem to easily dodge his flames.

Just a few breaths later, the greatly exhausted Bai Xian'er quickly transmitted her voice: 'Master, it's too strong! We must leave this place!'

At this moment, she felt a chill run down her spine; this was a physical stress response that only occurs in extreme danger.

'Damn it, it felt so close!' Shen Yun frowned, feeling very unwilling.

He felt that this child-shaped stone man could be burned to death by a single strike of blazing flames!

Unfortunately, Xian'er is almost at her limit.

'Give up...' Shen Yun's mind raced as he tried to activate the Golden Cicada Talisman.

[Ding! Do you wish to use the Semi-Saint Low-Grade Talisman - Golden Cicada Talisman?]

"Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!!" Seeing that the talisman was still effective and his base hadn't been raided, Shen Yun hardened his heart:

'Xian'er, you take the golden monkey and go first! I'll try again!'

Bang~!

The raging flames engulfed Shen Yun's entire body.

The stone golem was extremely fast, but when it came into close combat with Shen Yun, it would inevitably come into contact with the blazing flames first! Being connected to the flames in his mind, he could sense it immediately and thus activate the Golden Cicada Escape.

This is his escape plan!

Of course, if the stone golem is instantly killed by the blazing flames, he won't have to leave.

However, the talisman only teleports to a single target, so Bai Xian'er had to leave quickly. Otherwise, if his attack failed and he escaped, the stone golem's aggro would immediately shift to Bai Xian'er, who was closest to him!

"No! It's too dangerous for Master to do this!" Bai Xian'er's heart was in her throat.

'Let's go back and think of another way. Don't act impulsively, Master!'

She knew Shen Yun possessed the Golden Cicada Talisman, but a single misstep could lead to her death. Under such circumstances, how could she possibly betray her master and leave?!

'If you don't leave now, your supernatural power will be gone! Don't worry, I have flying swords and magic treasures to protect me!' Shen Yun knew she couldn't hold on for long, so she used her legs to leap into the void.

"Master!!!" Bai Xian'er exclaimed in shock, her voice changing tone.

Shen Yun dared not be distracted and held his breath, because in the previous life's Huaguo Mountain strategy video, the stone golem would only chase and kill the target with the highest hatred value.

'It's here!!' Sensing the sharp aura approaching from the flames beside him, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The enemy's attack is coming!!

In an instant!

The raging flames, like maggots clinging to bones, crawled onto the arm of the stone golem that had revealed its true form, instantly igniting its entire body!

What infuriated Shen Yun was...

A white blur appeared beside Yu Guangzhong, blocking his path.

The golden monkey also jumped out, spreading its limbs as if to block the stone man's view with its body.

His flames won't harm his own people, but if the flames fail to instantly kill the stone golem, the consequences of failure will be unimaginable!

"Xian'er!!!" Shen Yun shouted angrily.

Fortunately, the raging flames were powerful enough to burn the stone man to ashes.

Seeing Shen Yun glaring at her with red eyes, Bai Xian'er lowered her head sheepishly and stammered:

"I have healing abilities... It's okay for me to take a hit for my master; it can increase the success rate."

"Success my foot! What if something goes wrong?!" Shen Yun angrily reached out to hit her head.

But seeing her cowering and covering her head, how could I bear to do it?

Knowing that Xian'er was fiercely protective of her master, even if her healing abilities were incredibly powerful, he would still feel heartache if she were truly injured.

"I'll give you a proper talking-to when we get back!"

At this moment, the golden monkey, having lost its footing, landed from the void and immediately looked at the stone figure's ashes on the ground.

A golden phantom slowly emerged.

When the little monkey saw the phantom's face covered in golden fur, it felt as if it had found an elder, and its eyes welled up with tears of joy.

"The Great Sage! It's the Great Sage!!!"
