Chapter 319 The Five-Colored Spirit Crane
Looking toward the doorway beside him, he was shocked to spot his figure among the few people at the very front of the crowd. Moreover, his features were clearer than most of the other figures, even surpassing the figure next to him with a crescent moon mark on his forehead.
"I hope nothing bad happens!" Shen Xu scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.
Turning to look at the cocoon of light formed by the Qiling White Crane, he could only see the dazzling golden-red light and could no longer discern the presence of the three streams of blood energy.
"I wonder what other abilities these eyes have. I hope it's not just that they can make me see a little better!"
Thinking of this, Shen Xu once again activated his golden-red eyes and looked toward the stone platform in the center of the stone chamber.
This time he saw something completely different. The groove in the center of the stone platform was not empty; instead, there was a radiant, egg-shaped ball of light, with the five portals around it constantly emitting different lights that flowed into the ball of light.
Just as he was about to get closer to examine it more closely, a dazzling beam of multicolored light suddenly pierced his eyes from the ball of light.
"Ah!" Shen Xu immediately closed his eyes and cried out in pain, the golden-red color fading from his eyes in an instant.
"Hiss~" It took him a while to recover from the pain in his eyes. He touched his face and found that blood was flowing from the corner of his eye again.
He felt that the ball of light he saw was likely conscious, and that beam of light was a warning to him. Curiosity really killed the cat. He really needed to change this bad habit in the future, or he wouldn't even know how he died.
However, the Spirit Crane Clan has grand ambitions! If that egg-shaped ball of light really hatches into a creature, it would truly be the Spirit Crane Clan's born king.
Thinking about this, Shen Xu suddenly realized a problem. He had previously guessed that the True Blood Palace was a conspiracy of the demon race, but now it seemed that his guess was not quite right.
Would the Spirit Crane Clan agree to place something so important in a small world within the human race's territory?
According to Li Xiaoyi, the Spirit Crane already holds a high position among the demon race, but there are four other spirit cranes of the same status here. Moreover, he is certain that there is even more important demon beast essence blood within the True Blood Palace. Such an important thing being placed within the territory of the human race, if the True Blood Palace is indeed a conspiracy of the demon race, then the price they paid seems to be quite high.
But if the True Blood Palace wasn't a conspiracy by the demon race, how could it have appeared in the territory of the human race, and so precisely shattered the boundary gate?
This puzzled him, so he took out Huo Yan's letter again and stared into deep thought at the crooked lines on it.
He believed that Li Xiaoyi and Yun Yao must know some crucial information that he didn't. If he could find Li Xiaoyi and the others or the World Spirit, it would probably solve many of his doubts. The key to finding them lay in this line.
But he had no clue about the line, so he looked up at the golden-red cocoon that enveloped the Spirit Crane. He could only hope that the Spirit Crane would help him when it emerged from the cocoon.
However, he didn't know when the Praying White Crane would emerge from its cocoon; all he could do now was wait.
To avoid the waiting process becoming too boring, Shen Xu began to carefully observe the five portals, memorizing the appearance of the five spirit cranes, preparing to look up information about them after returning to the Four Directions Sword Alliance.
After doing all this, Shen Xu sighed deeply as he looked at the unchanged golden-red cocoon. Then he walked to the exit door, hesitated for a moment, and put his hand down. He wanted to see if he could get out.
The instant he touched the door, an incredibly clear image was rapidly transmitted into the depths of his mind.
It was a bottomless, terrifying black abyss, like the entrance to hell.
Endless black, malevolent demonic energy surged forth from the abyss like a raging tide. As soon as this energy touched the ground, it transformed into towering demons, each as large as a mountain. They were entirely black, like phantoms of the night, with hideous and terrifying faces that sent chills down one's spine.
Just then, the scene suddenly shifted without warning, and a huge demon surrounded by billowing demonic energy appeared in a vast and boundless void, almost occupying half of the screen.
It sat firmly coiled in the void, beneath which were three enormous stars emitting thick black mist. The black mist, like nimble black snakes, continuously converged towards the demon's body and was absorbed into it.
Suddenly, huge ripples began to spread throughout the void, and a five-colored spirit crane, somewhat similar to the Praying Spirit White Crane but also very different, appeared out of thin air in front of the demon.
Although this spirit crane was extremely small compared to the demons, even less than one percent the size of a demon, the moment it appeared, its dazzling five-colored light instantly illuminated the entire void as bright as day. The thick black mist that had been permeating the many stars vanished in an instant, revealing the true appearance of the stars.
Immediately afterwards, the crane gently flapped its multicolored wings. With just this gentle flap, the dense demonic energy that had been enveloping the giant demon instantly melted away, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.
The demons, now freed from their demonic aura, revealed the terrifying armor they wore, shimmering with eerie purple runes.
The colossal demon seemed enraged by the five-colored crane. It suddenly exerted its strength, attempting to rise from the deep void. In that instant, its massive body caused a violent tremor in the surrounding void, and a star beneath it cracked open with a shockingly large fissure.
As the crack appeared, the scorching red magma inside the star was forced into the void by immense pressure, like a surging torrent.
With another powerful flap of its dazzling wings, the five-colored crane unleashed an endless torrent of multicolored light, instantly engulfing the entire void.
This dazzling light lasted only a moment. When everything returned to clarity, the giant demon's figure had vanished. Only the five-colored crane, with its radiant and beautiful form, stood proudly where the giant demon had once stood.
Its enormous, illusory, multicolored wings, like two sky-covering clouds, completely obscured the star that had just suffered a severe blow. At the same time, a continuous stream of multicolored light, like fine drizzle, gently fell from beneath the wings and slowly merged into the interior of the cracked star.
Nourished by the multicolored light, the cracks in the star began to heal at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible hand was smoothing out the deep wound little by little.
As time went by, the cracks grew smaller and smaller until they finally closed completely, and the star stopped its tendency to collapse.
At this moment, the five-colored crane let out a cry that shook the void. This cry seemed to have infinite power, penetrating through layers of void and causing ripples in the void, and it was unknown how far it had traveled.
Then, the figure of the five-colored crane gradually became blurred and eventually disappeared into the vast void, leaving only three stars to gradually return to their original positions.
