Chapter 116 The Golden Ferocious Clan, the Mysterious Stone!
hum!
Sure enough, the moment Gu Jiancheng entered the cave, an unfamiliar spatial force suddenly filled his surroundings.
This place truly seems to be a space separate from the grotto-heaven.
A world within a world?
This was somewhat unexpected for Gu Jiancheng.
Furthermore, the magic array barrier of this cave seems to have been broken, so theoretically, it shouldn't be a disciple of Dongling.
Among the disciples of Dongling, only Cai Kun and the Shangguan siblings had decent talent in array formations, but they didn't seem to have the ability to break the array in a very short time.
After all, the only explanation for the fact that the Dongling disciples were able to hide in while being chased is that the cave space had already been opened before they entered.
However, as Gu Jiancheng moved through the cave, he quickly sensed the aura of the talismans. These were ones he had previously crafted for everyone, so he was very familiar with them.
However, the malevolent aura permeating the entire cave was extremely dense, surging and rolling like a bone-scraping blade.
Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly, then used his Heaven-Burning Qi to protect himself and forcefully rushed into it.
Fortunately, just a moment later, Gu Jiancheng saw Cai Kun, Bai Rou'er, and the others hiding in the corner.
Their condition was not good at the moment, especially Cai Kun, who was covered in blood and seemed to be healing his wounds.
Before them lay a talisman that was about to burn out completely.
They relied on the power of talismans to forcibly isolate themselves from the evil energy and hide here. If the talismans were gone, the consequences would be unimaginable!
When Cai Kun and the others sensed a figure approaching from the malevolent aura outside the magic array, their expressions changed drastically.
Bai Rou'er and Luo Qingyang arrived in front of the seriously injured Cai Kun in an instant, seemingly determined to protect him with their lives.
"Don't panic, it's me."
But when Gu Jiancheng's voice rang out and his face clearly appeared within the fierce aura, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.
"My brother, you've finally come to save us!"
Cai Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Some things went wrong during your cultivation. I only learned about your accident when I came out of the Hundred Refinement Tower."
Gu Jiancheng raised his hand, and after his powerful aura of burning and sword intent completely isolated the surrounding fierce energy, he stepped forward.
With him around, the people no longer need the protection of talismans.
"What's going on?"
Gu Jiancheng bent down and, after confirming that Cui Kun's injuries were only physical and not serious, he felt relieved.
"Sigh, we got really bored after we reached the 33rd level of the Hundred Refinements. We've been cultivating for a long time and our cultivation levels have all broken through one after another, so we thought we'd come to the Cave Heaven to have some fun first."
"After we've had our fill of playing in Xiaoyao City, we're thinking of going to hunt ferocious beasts outside the Ninth Great Wall to accumulate some contribution points. After all, we only have zero points, which is really not enough."
"Actually, with our strength, there shouldn't have been any problem, but we were chased by a mysterious person, so we had no choice but to split up and escape."
Cai Kun's face was gloomy as he continued, "But we didn't expect these guys to keep chasing us so relentlessly, and even more experts came. We had no choice but to hide in this cave."
"By the way, Brother Gu, this cave is no ordinary place. It seems to be an ancient cultivator's dwelling, and there were people... no, ferocious beasts that entered before us!"
His expression was strange. "I just don't understand why, even after we've been hiding here for so long, that ferocious beast hasn't shown up!"
“That’s right, the menacing aura here is getting more and more terrifying,” Bai Rou’er added.
"Hehe, perhaps that ferocious beast is also unable to escape at the moment. You all heal your wounds first, and leave the rest to me." Gu Jiancheng smiled, raised his hand and sent everyone into the Langhuan Space first, and then continued to head deeper into the cave.
This ancient cultivation cave was not very large. After a short while, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the deepest part.
All the restrictions along the way have been broken, and the fierce aura here is so dense that it has reached an astonishing level, turning into a black tide that fills the cave.
Among them, there was an eerie aura that Gu Jiancheng was all too familiar with!
The eerie aura is far more terrifying than the malevolent aura. Just like the ruins he had visited before, Gu Jiancheng was certain that there must be an unrefined eerie aura here, and it was even purer and more terrifying than what he had seen before!
"Ok?"
Sure enough, when Gu Jiancheng activated his Divine Eyes, he was shocked to find a figure sitting cross-legged in the dense, dark vortex of malevolent energy.
His body was extremely tall and robust, even covered in jet-black scales. He had wings on his back, and three golden lines shone brightly in the center of his head. Even when he was still, he looked like a volcano about to erupt, exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression!
Upon seeing this, Gu Jiancheng's pupils constricted slightly.
Although the ferocious beasts within this cave are not the Beast Lords mentioned by the Lord of Nanli, their cultivation has reached the half-step Heaven-Gazing Realm.
Moreover, this ferocious beast looks young, but its bloodline aura is particularly astonishing. If its combat power were to erupt, it could probably reach the peak of the late stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm.
Among the ferocious beasts, there are actually such descendants?
However, at this moment, a fist-sized black crystal was floating above the beast's head, and a pure, eerie aura was emanating from the black crystal!
A strange stone!?
Gu Jiancheng was shocked; this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.
However, at this moment, the ferocious beast seemed to be at a critical moment in breaking through its cultivation level, its eyes tightly closed, oblivious to its surroundings.
With the energy within this strange stone, this ferocious beast descendant may truly have a chance to break through to the Heavenly Observation Realm!
That's a cultivation level even higher than Zhao Wuji, the number one hidden dragon in the desolate state. In addition, the ferocious beast's combat power is already extremely strong, so at that time it might really be comparable to the Beast Lord.
"Heh, but too bad, you've run into me!"
Withdrawing his gaze, Gu Jiancheng sneered, then raised his hand, and the Dragon Sword appeared. The Formless Sword Intent transformed into a fiery sword light, and he poured all his energy into it, slashing straight out with the sword!
Although Gu Jiancheng's sword strike seemed effortless, it actually approached the level of his most powerful combat ability.
He had already honed his Flaming Sword Qi to its peak, and with more than a month of seclusion, his peak Four Symbols Realm cultivation provided him with an abundance of energy.
Thus, when the sword light struck, it had already exceeded two thousand feet, and the eerie aura was instantly torn apart. The ferocious beast descendant sitting cross-legged under the eerie stone also suddenly opened its pair of scarlet eyes.
Although he was surprised, he was not frightened, nor did he move or stop absorbing the strange energy, as if he had something to rely on?
hum!
Sure enough, just as Gu Jiancheng's sword energy was about to strike, the light of the surrounding magic array suddenly transformed into a barrier, blocking Gu Jiancheng's sword energy from entering!
It turns out that there was a protective magic array around this ferocious beast!
"Heh, a mere restriction? You think it can stop me?"
Gu Jiancheng scoffed. With his Divine Eyes, how could he not know about the existence of the restriction?
Click!
Sure enough, the moment Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, the restriction was shattered by the sword light.
This sword strike landed precisely on the core of the restriction array; it would surely shatter under such a powerful blow!
"what?"
Finally, just as Gu Jiancheng's terrifying sword energy was about to engulf him, a look of fear appeared on the face of the ferocious beast's descendant!
But now he is at a critical moment of breakthrough and cannot use any supernatural powers at all. Otherwise, he would be devoured by the strange energy and die from his body exploding!
puff!
boom!
But death still awaited him.
Even though the beast's physical body was extremely strong, it was still instantly pierced through by Gu Jiancheng's sharp sword energy.
The sword energy landed, and the entire cave shook violently!
As Gu Jiancheng descended from the dust, the ferocious beast descendant, whose head was the only part of its body remaining intact, was filled with endless resentment and rage.
"Do you know who I am?"
Although the ferocious beast's offspring was on the verge of death, it still coughed up blood and asked.
"Heh, a dying man is not worthy to know my name!"
Gu Jiancheng grinned maliciously, then placed his large hand directly on the bloodstained head, and began the Soul Suppression Invasion to search for the soul.
But a moment later, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed drastically!
Because he then realized that the person he had killed was actually the young patriarch of the Golden Ferocious Clan in the ferocious beast clan!
Their species was already extremely strong among the demon race. After refining the strange energy, they not only preserved their minds, but even allowed their bloodline to mutate and improve. The three golden lines on their heads are a symbol of this.
Having golden markings indicates the bloodline of the Golden Ferocious Clan; the more golden markings, the stronger the bloodline.
This beast's status within the Golden Family is absolutely comparable to that of Zhao Wuji.
He never expected to die by his own sword like this. No wonder he was so unwilling and died with his eyes wide open!
Moreover, he also saw the person who helped him break the cave's magic array in the young clan leader's memories.
It was a human cultivator wearing a snow-white cloak. Although his face could not be seen, he was wearing the insignia of the Tianfeng Academy!
The cultivators of the academy have actually colluded with the ferocious race!?
