Inside the valley was streams of water and hundreds of flowers. It was a serene and tranquil piece of land.
However, when Ling Xian's eyes met the cave before him, his expression changed.
He could sense that there was an ancient beast crouching inside the cave. Though he was faraway from it, he could sense the suppressing and depressing atmosphere.
To put it more accurately, it was the smell of death.
"Just… who exists there." Ling Xian frowned. Curiosity flashed across his eyes.
There is a saying that the talented have bigger guts. Normal people would not step forward at all. But for him, he really wanted to go in and investigate.
Of course, Ling Xian was no fool. He had to prepare himself.
He called out to his indestructible physique, forming a faint layer of gold light around his body that acted like an impenetrable armor. Then, he took out the emerald colored umbrella he gained from the Cliff to double s.h.i.+eld himself.
"This should be enough. Even if the most evil thing lies inside, I am confident I can escape like this."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. In a flash, he arrived before the cave. Then, he encountered another array.
"Even when hidden behind an array, the being can emit such horrifying energy. The cave contains something out of the ordinary."
Ling Xian's expression froze a little and his curiosity grew dense. He then formed a hand seal and softly flicked the invisible barrier.
Instantly, the barrier slowly disappeared and revealed the opening to the cave.
The path before him was narrow. At first glance, there was no end to it. Like an underground maze, it was endless.
"Let's go. I want to see just what's hidden inside." Ling Xian didn't hesitate and marched in.
Immediately, the smell of death intensified, making him feel hopeless.
However, Ling Xian had a determined mentality and strong capability. He wasn't affected by this depression. However, he had to force himself to lift his spirit and carefully defend.
Then, he marched forward slowly. Every step he took was soft and soundless.
After around 15 minutes, he finally reached the end of the road. When he saw what was before him, he frowned immediately.
Before him was a giant pool of blood. All he could see was bright red. An evil energy was overpowering and even for him, he felt a little disgusted.
What could he do? This view was far too b.l.o.o.d.y. Anyone would feel disgusted.
What surprised Ling Xian was that there was a strong man sitting inside the pool of blood. It was also someone familiar.
The strongest descendent of the golden roc kind, the G.o.d of Gold.
The G.o.d of Gold was utterly naked and had his eyes closed. His muscles were pulsing like serpents, firm and powerful. Under the red light from the pool of blood, he looked even more devious and shuddering.
"It's him…"
Ling Xian frowned; he had a bad feeling.
Just then, the G.o.d of Gold abruptly opened his eyes. His originally gold pupils turned bright red, forcing people to feel a sense of cruelty and torture.
Especially after clearly making out Ling Xian's visage, the killer's intent in his eyes turned heavier.
"It's you!"
The G.o.d of Gold's red hair began to flutter in the wind. The pool of blood was now boiling and its terrifying aura reached an extreme. Similar to the awakening of a G.o.d, the force of it was enough to overpower all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of h.e.l.l!
He stared deadly into Ling Xian's eyes and smiled, "Haha, there was a path laid out by the Heavens for you and you didn't take it. Yet you are knocking on h.e.l.l's door! Luckily I have succeeded my training, I will use you to test out my knife."
"Succeeded your training…"
Ling Xian's expression froze a little. He sensed that the G.o.d of Gold's body was exuding more energy than when they last fought. He couldn't help but frown.
It was obvious that this pool of blood had some kind of special power that strengthened this golden roc.
"How is it? Can't you sense how powerful I am?"
The G.o.d of Gold was enjoying himself and the energy within his body. He smirked and his eyes were full of arrogance.
"To me, you are just like an ant right now."
"Is that right?"
Ling Xian glared at him. Though he felt uneasy, he wasn't afraid, "Don't forget, I ripped off one of your arms. Therefore, you have already lost to me."
"What did you say?"
The golden roc was infuriated. A wave of energy rolled out in all four directions. Similar to a beast awakening, he had enough destructive power to ruin everything around him!
HOMMM!
The pool of blood boiled even harder. The G.o.d of Gold, post transformation, attacked aggressively and broke through s.p.a.ce with one hit!
