Chapter 797 Another Ancient Lamp!

Time slipped away silently in the hazy mist.

During this period, array flags fluttered in the wind along the three thousand ancient bluestone paths, and dozens of magic arrays were layered one on top of another, forming an impregnable fortress.

If all these killing formations were activated, even a powerful expert at the Heavenly God Realm who accidentally entered them would likely perish on the spot.

The formation set up by Cao Yusheng and his two companions almost completely sealed off all the blind spots in the area, preventing even a mosquito from flying in.

At this moment, Cao Yusheng, Han Li, and the God-Slaying Stone were sitting together, discussing in hushed tones what to do if they actually caught that strange and ominous thing.

"If you ask me, just refine it."

The God-Slaying Stone chuckled, his tone tinged with eagerness: "That thing definitely has good stuff on it. My intuition is always spot on!"

Han Li shook his head upon hearing this: "It's best to be careful. Since that thing can be called 'ominous,' it must have something strange about it. If we deal with it rashly, it might cause even more trouble."

Cao Yusheng patted his round belly and said thoughtfully, "My master told me that some of the strange things in the Immortal Ancient Era are actually the marks of some being. If we can study them thoroughly, we might be able to glimpse some unknown secrets. So I suggest that after we catch them, we should not rush to deal with them. We should wait for Brother Shi Hao to come out of seclusion before studying them together."

Before the three could reach an agreement, Shi Hao had already taken action.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, took out two demigod fruits from his cave, and put them directly into his mouth.

The two fruits were crystal clear and exuded a rich sense of life.

After taking the two demigod fruits into his mouth, he took out the three enlightenment stones and arranged them in a triangular shape in front of him.

As soon as the Enlightenment Stone appeared, the surrounding chaotic mist seemed to be summoned and began to slowly surge.

Shi Hao closed his eyes and sank his mind into the Enlightenment Stone, gradually entering a deep state of enlightenment.

As he began to comprehend the Dao, the ancient bluestone paths around him began to light up one after another, emitting a soft glow.

The rays of light converged like flowing water, enveloping Shi Hao.

"--boom!!!"

The next second, three thousand divine flames surged up and instantly engulfed Shi Hao.

The golden flames danced on his body, like countless elves in motion, illuminating his entire silhouette with dazzling brilliance.

The flames were incredibly hot, scorching and distorting even the surrounding void, as if they were about to turn everything to ashes.

Cao Yusheng noticed Shi Hao's situation and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Is this guy crazy? He's just asking for trouble. Is he trying to roast himself?"

The Moon Jade Rabbit stood to the side, hands on her hips, and rolled her eyes at Cao Yusheng: "What do you know? A genius like Brother Shi Hao cultivates differently from ordinary people. He uses heaven and earth as a furnace, refining himself with the flames of the Great Dao runes, in order to transcend and create a true self. We should learn from him, instead of making sarcastic remarks here."

Cao Yusheng curled his lip: "Come on, I can't endure that kind of suffering. I'd rather just eat and drink my own food and live a peaceful life. Only a ruthless person like Brother Shi Hao can withstand that kind of self-torture cultivation method."

The Lunar Jade Rabbit snorted and ignored him, its gaze returning to Shi Hao, its eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.

Shi Hao's journey of enlightenment continued amidst the flames.

The three thousand divine flames continuously tempered his body, forcing out impurities little by little and widening his meridians one by one.

His bones became denser in the flames, and the spiritual power contained in his flesh and blood became purer.

He felt as if he were undergoing a transformation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn from the ashes.

However, just as Shi Hao was entering the most crucial moment of enlightenment, an inexplicable aura suddenly enveloped the entire area.

The aura was cold and decaying, carrying an indescribable eeriness, as if it came from another world, not belonging to this place.

The hairs on everyone's bodies stood on end instantly; each person felt the terror of that aura.

"They're here!"

Qingyi's expression changed, and she quickly entered the magic array, forming hand seals to activate dozens of magic arrays.

Han Li, Cao Yusheng, and the God-Slaying Stone also activated the formation at the same time.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

One after another, large arrays lit up, radiating dazzling light. Runes intertwined, forming a vast light curtain that enveloped the entire area.

Those layers of light curtains, like an indestructible barrier, protected Shi Hao in the center.

"It should be able to block it, right?"

Lin Dong clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the edge of the formation.

But the next second, everyone's expression changed.

Because they witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

An ancient lamp appeared silently in this place. The lamp was pitch black, and its body was covered with twisted runes. It emitted a faint green light, as if it could suck in people's souls.

It ignored the dozens of magic arrays set up by the crowd and walked straight in.

Those light screens, runes, and restrictions seemed to exist in front of it as if they did not exist, not even causing a ripple.

"How is that possible?"

Han Li's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took a step back, shielding everyone in front of him: "The power of this formation is enough to trap a Heavenly God Realm expert, how did it get in?"

The God-Slaying Stone was also shocked, its light flashing wildly. Its voice held a hint of disbelief: "This lamp is no ordinary object! It can directly penetrate space, ignoring the blockade of the array. Our array can't stop it at all!"

Cao Yusheng also swallowed hard: "This is that strange thing? A lamp?"

The ancient lamp ignored everyone and slowly floated toward Shi Hao. The green light on the lamp grew brighter and brighter, as if it were alive.

Shi Hao was still immersed in his enlightenment and was completely unaware of his surroundings.

"Stop it!"

Qingyi shouted and raised her hand to unleash a golden light that shot towards the ancient lamp.

The golden light fell on the ancient lamp, but vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The ancient lamp didn't even stop, continuing to drift towards Shi Hao.

Seeing this, Lin Dong, Luo Feng, Qian Renxue, and Qin Hao also joined in, unleashing a barrage of powerful techniques upon the ancient lamp.

But their attacks, the moment they touched the ancient lamp, vanished without a trace, like stones sinking into the sea.

The Moon Rabbit stamped its feet in frustration: "What do we do? It's not afraid of our attacks at all!"

The God-Slaying Stone panicked: "This thing isn't a physical entity; it's a manifestation of some kind of rule. We can't harm it!"

Everyone was helpless and could only watch as the ancient lamp floated in front of Shi Hao and stopped three inches in front of his brow.

The lights flickered, and the green light reflected on Shi Hao's face, giving his appearance an eerie quality.
