Danzun War God

Chapter 244 The Stone Statue Formation

At this moment, the roc that had entered the Prison God Temple first seemed to realize the danger and stopped in its tracks. It looked at Han Qi with a slightly panicked expression. Once bitten, twice shy, the roc was now so afraid of everything.

By the time he sensed the change in the surrounding atmosphere, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, Han Qi and Qin Wuyang vanished from the Roc's sight, replaced by an endless desert. The Roc panicked and flew into the air in a panic. Two powerful whirlwind vortexes immediately appeared beneath its wings, instantly filling the entire desert with yellow sand, obscuring the sky and the sun, like waves churning in the ocean.

At this moment, Han Qi and Qin Wuyang exchanged a glance, both realizing the extraordinary nature of this Prison God Palace. Looking further into the hall, they could no longer see the roc, and they unconsciously retreated.

Just then, the scenery around them suddenly changed. The crystal palace had vanished, replaced by countless towering stone statues. These statues were all over ten feet tall, with imposing figures and fierce expressions, each wielding a knife or sword. At this moment, the statues began to react. They slowly moved, turning to look in the direction of the two, their eyes glowing red, appearing extremely eerie.

The statues moved slowly, but their speed was astonishing. Their occasional actions seemed to be directed by someone, and they appeared to be very organized. Although there were many of them, their movements were extremely coordinated. Moreover, each step the statues took gave the two of them a different feeling.

The gravitational field around the two continued to increase, and the feeling of oppression grew stronger and stronger.

Qin Wuyang was getting anxious. At this rate, he would soon be crushed by the increasing pressure. He hurriedly said, "Han Qi, think of something! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

At this moment, Han Qi had already taken the Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon in his hand. Upon hearing Qin Wuyang's words, Han Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had never heard of such a formation before. What method could he possibly use?

He then unleashed the sixth move of Heavenly Wrath, "Catching the Wind and Shadows." Instantly, sword energy surged like a dragon, and the sound of air being torn apart resounded throughout the entire area. Han Qi aimed his sword at the nearest stone statue, only to see a glint of light flash in the statue's eyes, and a cunning smile appeared on its lips. In the next second, the longsword in the statue's hand blocked Han Qi's Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon.

"Bang!" Han Qi was so shocked that his tiger's mouth hurt, and the Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon almost slipped from his hand. Such strong power! Han Qi was secretly surprised. Qin Wuyang, who was standing next to him, also felt the fluctuation of the profound energy from the previous attack and was immediately in a bind.

Seeing that a direct attack was ineffective, Han Qi put away the Heavenly Wrath Divine Weapon and then took out the Star Chart. Using both incantations and hand gestures, seven enormous bright spots appeared above them. As the seven bright spots intensified, a large, net-like chessboard appeared in the air. The gravitational field around the two was then suppressed.

Immediately afterward, a stellar power connecting heaven and earth appeared above the chessboard. Han Qi then leaped up, hovering above the entire chessboard. With each hand gesture, chess pieces were formed on the board. As each piece was placed, countless fluctuations of stellar power surged from the chessboard, directly connecting to the stone statues within the stone statue formation.

In the instant he connected with these sensible beings, Han Qi clearly felt an aura emanating from the stone statue, and from this aura, Han Qi sensed a familiar feeling.

With undivided attention, Han Qi released the power of stars from Tianqi as countless chess pieces fell, connecting all the stone statues here.

Han Qi immediately sensed that there were three thousand stone statues in the entire formation. Just as Han Qi made contact with these three thousand stone statues, his mind suddenly became clear, and he was able to communicate with them. The stone statues that were originally hostile to him instantly became his own people and felt a sense of closeness to him.

The sudden turn of events left Han Qi somewhat bewildered and confused. Just then, a stone statue rose slowly from the star chart. This statue shone with golden light and exuded an imposing aura. A flame symbol was clearly visible between its brows; it was undoubtedly the statue of the God of Fire.

At the same time, the little demon that Han Qi had put into the Sumeru Bag suddenly popped out, which puzzled Han Qi. He knew that he had put a soul seal on the Sumeru Bag, and in principle, no one could take anything out of it unless he wanted to.

Han Qi had no time to think. He saw the little demon emerge from the Sumeru bag and fly directly into the Fire God's brow. Immediately, the flame at the Fire God's brow turned green. As the God of all fires, all fires obeyed his command. It was said that the flame at the Fire God's brow was formed from the accumulation of nine spiritual fires. Han Qi had sensed this information immediately after connecting with these stone statues.

The seven bright spots in the sky transformed into seven flames of seven different colors, which surged directly into the Fire God's brow. Just as Han Qi was wondering why one of the flames was missing, a new black flame of eight colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white—rose from within the entire stone statue formation.

The black flames surged into the brow of the fire god statue, thus completing the gathering of the nine spiritual flames. Han Qi was very curious about what would happen next and looked at the fire god statue with great interest.

The god of fire slowly opened his eyes, surveying everything below with overwhelming power, his aura radiating an aura that crushed everything in his path. All the stone statues knelt down in unison before the god of fire.

To Han Qi's surprise, the God of Fire did not speak at this moment, but instead transformed into countless rays of light, scattering into the air like hundreds of millions of fireflies.

Immediately, the stone statues transformed into beams of golden light and entered the Tianqi chessboard. The seven spiritual flames transformed back into seven bright spots. With a thought, Han Qi stored the Tianqi chessboard in the star chart and returned the star chart to his life palace, leaving only one black and one green flame floating in the air.

At this moment, Qin Wuyang was already shocked by what he saw. His mouth was so open that it could almost fit an egg. Then the surrounding scenery changed again, and he returned to the Crystal Palace. The countless spiritual lights that the flames transformed into drilled into the spirit stones embedded in the palace.

Then everything in the palace returned to its original state, except that the Roc was lying on the ground in despair, panting heavily.

Qin Wuyang was stunned for a moment, looking at Han Qi as if he were an alien. It had only been a short time since they last met, but Han Qi's presence still left him with nothing but shock.
