Chapter 1632 - Sarira
Liu Wuxie didn't dare to act rashly. He decided to probe the situation first before making any move, yet the longer he studied the dragon's head, the more it seemed to resemble a peculiar mask.He couldn't quite describe what kind of mask it was. A strange familiarity tugged at him, as though he had seen it somewhere before, but no matter how he rummaged through his memories, he couldn't recall where.
From a distance, it looked like a dragon's head, but up close, it looked more like a human face. It could be described as "Stone face." This first impression only deepened the longer he stared. He tried using Ghost Pupil, but it failed to pierce through.
When his divine sense seeped into the stone face like mercury, an invisible force shoved his Ghost Pupil back completely, like a formless palm barring the way.
"This is interesting. It can actually repel my Ghost Pupil," Liu Wuxie murmured, a strange glint flickering in his eyes. The stone face had to be extraordinary if it could block him like this.
The Mad Demon Ancestors had guarded this place for more than a thousand years, yet even they had never unraveled the secret.
Since Ghost Pupil couldn't penetrate it, Liu Wuxie could only summon the Heretic Blade, retreat a short distance, and slash down.
Sparks exploded in every direction, yet the stone face remained unscathed. Instead, the Heretic Blade released a mournful screech as the stone face rebounded the strike, and the backlash jolted Liu Wuxie hard.
The Heretic Blade stood comparable to the Quasi-Immortal Realm, yet the stone face still held firm. Worse, that rebound nearly shattered the laws inside the Heretic Blade, leaving Liu Wuxie incredulous.
"No wonder the Mad Demon Ancestors couldn't do anything to this stone face. If even I can't open it, they had no chance," Liu Wuxie muttered. Only then did he understand how it had stayed intact for so many years.
The Heavenly Dao Book had indeed warned him that something lay inside the stone face. Without that reminder, he would have turned around and left long ago.
The situation stalled as more cultivators crept closer in secret, assuming Liu Wuxie had already departed the Mad Demon Gate.
