206: Chapter 205: Pool, Severed Arm and Broken Sword, Black Robe

Da da da...

The wooden stairs were somewhat old. As Ye Xiu continued his descent, many blood-red eyes opened within the interior of the ship.

"Heh... I'd like to see just how capable you unformed monsters are."

Ye Xiu was naturally unafraid of these unformed Red-Haired Monsters; his own combat power had already reached the Half-Step Emperor realm.

Even fully evolved Large Red-Haired Monsters...

...would only be ground into the dirt in his hands, let alone these monsters that had not yet completely formed.

Dong...

Walking normally, it didn't take much time to descend the dozen or so stairs.

When Ye Xiu stepped into the ship, unknown monsters were already approaching him in the darkness.

Wu wu...

The sobbing sounds that had been quiet for some time suddenly rang out again near his ears.

This time, the sound was even closer than when he was in the cabin.

It was as if it were right next to his ear.

"Stop playing tricks! Get lost!"

Ye Xiu gave a soft shout, and a great power erupted within his body. Golden radiance, like a Heavenly Blade, instantly swept out in all directions.

Hou...

Amidst a roar...

In the area where the radiance had dispelled the darkness, a humanoid monster pounced directly toward Ye Xiu...

It had crimson eyes and red hair covering half its body.

It was a Red-Haired Monster that had not yet completely finished its evolution.

"Die!"

Fist light erupted.

With a single strike of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, Ye Xiu directly reduced the pouncing humanoid monster to ash.

Before he could make his next move...

...the area where the monster had disappeared was instantly shrouded in a blood-colored mist, which quickly began to reform the vanished monster.

"Even the half-finished ones are immortal and indestructible?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised.

The golden radiance transformed into a barrier; he no longer attacked actively, but instead switched to full defense.

After all, against these immortal and indestructible monsters, blind attacking was futile and merely a waste of one's own strength.

Peng...

The monster was crashing against the Golden Barrier.

Its claws, imbued with Ominous Power, were surrounded by grey mist.

As the crashing continued...

...the Ominous Power began to erode the barrier. Unfortunately, this level of Ominous Power had no effect on the Golden Barrier, no matter how many times it crashed against it.

Da da da...

Enduring the monster's impacts...

...Ye Xiu began to explore the ship's interior. There were quite a few living monsters.

He had only walked a few steps...

...and the area that originally had only one monster now had as many as four.

They possessed no sanity.

Upon seeing Ye Xiu, these monsters immediately chose to act just like the first one, charging at the Golden Barrier with all their might.

The thudding sounds were very loud...

...echoing throughout the interior of the darkness-shrouded Ancient Ship.

Ye Xiu kept a constant eye on those few Large Red-Haired Monsters. As long as they didn't move, there was basically nothing on this Ancient Ship that could threaten him.

After walking a full circle...

...the interior of the Ancient Ship was not small, spanning hundreds of meters.

Within this hundreds-of-meters area shrouded in darkness, there were three extremely peculiar places:

An Abyss-like Black Pool,

An arm holding a Broken Blade,

And a black robe.

The pool was at the deepest part of the Ancient Ship's interior. The water was bone-chillingly cold, and almost the entire pool was filled with Ominous Power. Ye Xiu did not enter it.

This was mainly because the Rank of the Ominous Power in the pool water was too high.

Even with great power covering his palms, it was still difficult to resist the pool water's corrosion.

The arm holding the Broken Blade was quite miraculous.

An Extra-Large Red-Haired Monster was pinned to the interior wall of the Ancient Ship by the Broken Blade. The arm holding the blade looked as if it had been forcibly torn off by someone.

Even now, divine light still faintly emerged from the golden blood at the severed arm.

It was unimaginable what kind of figure the arm's original owner must have been to possess such a physique.

After all, according to Ye Xiu's guess...

...even his own body would not be able to remain perfectly preserved within the interior of this Ancient Ship.

Let alone suppress an extra-Large Red-Haired Monster.

As for the last one...

...it was that black robe.

This item was beside three Large Red-Haired Monsters. Although these three had not yet completely formed, they had Half-Step Emperor cultivation when they were alive.

The strength of their pressure...

...was such that even Ye Xiu felt wary while studying them nearby.

Just like at this moment.

He squatted not far from the black robe, carefully observing the special properties of this thing.

"It can mask all aura and convert the wearer's power attributes into Ominous Power!"

A long while later...

...Ye Xiu reached this extremely startling conclusion.

With a hint of solemnity...

...he walked to the side of the three large specimens, intending to take the black robe.

But before he could touch the black robe, those three large, half-finished Red-Haired Monsters suddenly opened their eyes and stared fixedly at Ye Xiu.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Xiu ignored them. Just as he was about to forcibly grab the black robe...

...hundreds of blood-red eyes suddenly lit up within the dark interior of the Ancient Ship.

Xiu...

Amidst the sound of piercing air...

...all the monsters within the Ancient Ship charged at Ye Xiu at this moment.

"Damn it..."

Ye Xiu was furious.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist erupted.

With the brilliance of the fist light, most of the charging monsters were turned into blood mist, while those that weren't destroyed continued to charge at Ye Xiu, fearless of death.

Hong...

The Golden Barrier shrouded his body.

As the monsters charged and attacked, Ye Xiu's body was forced to retreat repeatedly by the impacts.

"Die!"

Fist light dispelled the darkness.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Fist was unleashed by Ye Xiu in a continuous stream, as if it consumed no energy, with one flash of light after another.

Unfortunately...

...these monsters were immortal and indestructible.

No matter how terrifying the Heavenly Emperor Fist was, and no matter how many times they were killed...

...these monsters would still reform within the blood mist.

Just as Ye Xiu wanted to forcibly withstand this pressure and take the black robe, the three Large Red-Haired Monsters moved.

They joined the fray...

...charging frantically at Ye Xiu.

Hong...

The Golden Barrier could not withstand the combined assault of the three Large Red-Haired Monsters and shattered directly after several clashes.

"Damn it."

After knocking back one Large Red-Haired Monster with a punch, Ye Xiu used the Heavenly Emperor Fist to clear a path and reached the black robe area again.

Just as he wanted to forcibly take the black robe...

...a cold hand reached out from the black robe and grabbed the palm Ye Xiu was extending.

Ding...

The instant the two sides made contact...

...Ye Xiu abandoned his plan to take the black robe.

There was someone inside this black robe!

He didn't know if they were alive or dead, but they were definitely stronger than him; that horrifying Ominous Power was far beyond even that of the Large Red-Haired Monsters.

An Emperor?

Unlikely.

Perhaps it was an existence who had walked very far within the Half-Step Emperor Domain.

Hou...

Amidst the roaring...

...countless monsters followed one after another, wanting to tear Ye Xiu to pieces in front of the black robe.

"Hmph... you think you can stop me?"

With a hint of disdain...

...Ye Xiu threw a punch, directly clearing a large area.

Amidst the fist light and blood mist, he slowly walked toward the staircase entrance; there was a great terror here.

Just inside the black robe, there resided an extremely terrifying existence.

That Abyss-like Black Pool, and the severed arm with the Broken Blade, were likely even more terrifying than the black robe area.

After all, the sense of pressure from those two areas was even more frightening than the black robe; otherwise, Ye Xiu wouldn't have chosen to try and take the black robe.

Besides that...

...the sobbing sounds near his ears had never ceased.

If he didn't leave the interior of the Ancient Ship, he feared even weirder changes would occur.

With a hint of regret...

...Ye Xiu took one last look at the black robe before stepping onto the stairs and heading toward the cabin area above.

Da da da...

With Ye Xiu's departure...

...darkness once again shrouded the interior of the Ancient Ship, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Silent and soundless.
