Chapter 1060 – Weird Rune
Chapter 1060 – Strange Runes
As time passed, the tremors of the forbidden system grew larger and larger, and the roars became more and more frequent, and finally, after a certain attack, the outermost layer of the forbidden system let out a buzz and turned into fragments.
The rabbit-eared female cultivator’s spirit perked up, “The outermost layer of the forbidden system, has been broken, next is the second layer of the forbidden system.”
Xu Chuniang surveyed the unfamiliar runes that had newly appeared on the forbidden system, and always felt a sense of trepidation; these runes seemed to contain some sort of mysterious power left behind by the Sorcerer Clan.
She frowned, “I have a premonition that the second layer of the prohibition might not be too good to break, these runes don’t look right.”
“I’ll try attacking these runes to see what they really are.”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator leapt to her feet and stared at the forbidden system in front of her, her eyes scanning back and forth over the newly appeared runes, and attempted to launch an attack towards the closest one.
The moment the rune was struck, a witchlight flashed out in an instant and counterattacked towards the rabbit-eared female cultivator.
At the same time, the characters on the forbidden system actually twisted strangely, looking as if they were alive.
Looking at these twisting characters, the uneasiness in Xu Chuniang’s heart grew stronger, there was definitely something wrong with these runes.
The rabbit-eared female cultivator leapt forward, avoiding the witch light, who knew that the witch light had gone and returned, flying towards her at an even faster speed, slapping her straight on the body.
“Ah!”
The Rabbit Ears Female Cultivator screamed miserably and planted down from mid-air, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
Xu Chuniang hurriedly looked towards her, “Are you alright?”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator climbed up from the ground and shook her head, looking a little puzzled, “Hehe, it seems that apart from some pain, there’s no more reaction? I seem to be fine, what is that witch light?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and voiced her deduction, “That witch light, it should be the power in the rune manifesting itself, you rashly attacked that rune, causing it to strike back.”
Looking at the nearly one hundred runes on the forbidden system, the rabbit-eared female cultivator was instantly a bit worried, “Are these things so troublesome? They actually still counterattack, it seems a bit tricky to deal with.”
Xu Chuniang reminded her, “You were just struck by the dark light, aside from some pain, are there any other symptoms? I feel that the power contained in these runes is not simple, don’t be careless.”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator examined her body carefully and shook her head, “There’s no other discomfort, just some pain where I was hit, but I can still endure it.”
Those runes clearly contained power left behind by the ancient Sorcerer Clan, and yet there was only some pain after being struck?
Xu Chuniang was a bit strange, but she didn’t pursue it further.
“Then these runes, how are we going to crack them, do you have a clue?”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator pointed at the rune she had attacked earlier, “Have you noticed that this rune looks much smaller than the others?”
Xu Chuniang also noticed the change in the rune and nodded, “The rune will become smaller, maybe it has something to do with the dark light that hit you just now.”
“I’ll try attacking this rune again and see how it will change.”
As soon as the words fell, the rabbit-eared female cultivator once again launched an attack at this rune, and the moment the rune was struck, the strange lines that made up the rune twisted and once again exploded with witchlight, flying towards the rabbit-eared female cultivator.
This time, she didn’t dodge or avoid it, letting the witchlight hit her straight on.
However, this time, the rabbit-eared female cultivator was prepared, and after being struck by the witchlight, she only retreated a few steps backwards before stabilizing herself. She rubbed her chest and let out a light cry of gratitude.
“Luckily, this prohibition has existed for an unknown amount of time, and its power has been weakened by a large portion, otherwise I’m afraid that hit just now could have pierced through my chest, instead of just suffering some pain.”
The rune that was attacked by the rabbit-eared female cultivator, after counterattacking twice, seemed to have run out of power and slowly dissipated.
“Look, the rune disappeared, this method of mine is stupid, but it works!”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator’s eyes lit up as she looked towards Xu Chuniang, “These runes look bluffing, but in fact, they’re nothing more than that, I’ll be responsible for clearing the runes on the left side, you’ll be in charge of the right side, we’ll both go half and half!”
Saying so, the rabbit-eared female cultivator attacked the next rune according to the law, intending to use the stupid method of hard consumption to wear out all the runes one by one.
Looking at the rabbit-eared female cultivator who was constantly being hit by the witch light bursting out from the runes, Xu Chuniang secretly frowned.
She always felt that the power in these witch lights would not be easily consumed, but the rabbit-eared female cultivator’s reaction made her a little uncertain.
Was she overthinking it, perhaps there was some truth in what the rabbit-eared female cultivator had said, even though these runes were originally very powerful, after so many years had passed, ninety-nine percent of the power in the runes had been worn away by time, and they were no longer enough to be feared.
As she stared at the barricade, the runes that were constantly changing due to the rabbit-eared female cultivator’s attacks, she suddenly had a strange association, these runes, could they be the ancient Sorcerer Clan’s writing?
No, that’s not right, if it was just words alone, it couldn’t possibly contain such a powerful force, and the power contained in each different rune was clearly different.
Instead of saying that these runes were like words, it would be better to say that they were more like a simplified law, and the power in the law was condensed in a variety of runes, preserved intact.
Xu Chuniang slightly lowered her eyes, hiding the thoughts in her heart.
If the truth was truly as she associated it with, then the …… rabbit eared female cultivator was definitely lying!
The power of the Laws could not be easily worn down, and being struck by the witchlight condensed from the runes was never as simple as a little pain.
In order to verify her suspicions, Xu Chuniang decided to take matters into her own hands and try out the power of these runes.
She swept her gaze over dozens of runes, randomly selected one of them, and slapped two palms towards it in quick succession.
The rune was shaken, and two streaks of witchlight flashed out from it, flying towards her one after the other.
Xu Chuniang stood still, allowing herself to be struck by the witchlight.
As the witchlight entered her body, she was knocked back several steps by the force of the impact, yet after a brief stinging pain, the two witchlights that had not entered her body quickly disappeared.
Xu Chuniang urged her demonic qi to look inside for several rounds, and never found any trace of those two witch lights.
Those two witch lights seemed to have just disappeared.
She was a bit surprised, could it be that she had overthought and misunderstood the rabbit-eared female cultivator?
Or …… was it that these runes were hidden too covertly and could not be found easily?
Xu Chuniang was more inclined to the latter, the ancient witch race was very powerful, they controlled ancient and mysterious powers, even if these powers were mostly worn down by the passing time, the essence of the power would not change.
She urged her demonic energy and quietly condensed the laws of time. Intending to find out where those two witch lights went in the regression.
