62: The killing intent of the golden elixir appears

Looking at Li Hanyue's disappearing back, Lin Gou's tensed body slowly relaxed.

His back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

This woman was too perceptive.

Staying with her, he felt like all his secrets were exposed.

He had to leave here as soon as possible.

He no longer hesitated, choosing a direction opposite to Li Hanyue's and quickly departing.

He didn't know.

Less than fifteen minutes after he left.

And after Li Hanyue had also gone far away.

A pressure far more terrifying than a thousand times a ground fire eruption, descended without warning upon this silent lava cave!

That was not power, nor was it an Aura.

It was a pure, higher-level life form's will suppression.

It was Divine Sense.

A terrifying Divine Sense belonging to a Golden Core Stage expert, carrying endless wrath and icy killing intent!

Buzz—!

The entire space seemed to freeze under this Divine Sense.

The air stopped flowing.

The rocks emitted a fine cracking sound, unable to bear the immense pressure.

A blurry yet majestic phantom slowly condensed in the center of the lava cave.

He wore a dark Daoist robe, his face gaunt, his eyes as sinister as an eagle's; he was Chen Xuan, a Golden Core Elder of the rival Sect, Xuan Yin Sect.

He had infiltrated the Secret Realm this time to secretly protect one of his most valued juniors, who was also his biological grandson.

But just now, his grandson's Natal Soul Tablet had shattered.

Chen Xuan's Divine Sense, like the most precise instrument, frantically swept through every corner of the lava cave, even beginning to reverse-analyze the residual energy information there.

The Aura of ground fire.

The Aura of the Lava Megalizard.

The Aura of the Ye family's Cultivation Technique.

Everything was clearly discernible.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan's movements abruptly paused.

In an extremely hidden corner, he detected an extremely faint yet bizarre and unique Aura that made his Divine Soul feel a slight discomfort.

That was not spiritual Qi, not Demonic Qi, and certainly not Devilish Qi.

It was a contradictory Aura that seemed to return everything to nothingness, yet also seemed to harbor Chaos.

It was a trace of the Law, not belonging to this world, that would only leak out when life ended and was reborn!

“No matter who you are…”

In Chen Xuan's sinister eyes, vengeful flames burned.

“Dare to kill my Xuan Yin Sect's Qilin child? This old man will surely extract your Soul and refine your spirit, so you can never reincarnate!”

His Divine Sense transformed into an invisible thread, following that extremely faint Chaos Aura, instantly tearing through space and locking onto the direction Lin Gou had departed!

...Hundreds of miles away.

Lin Gou, who was rapidly moving through a dense forest, suddenly stopped in his tracks!

All the hairs on his body stood on end at that instant!

An indescribable, immense fear from the depths of his Soul completely engulfed him.

He felt as if he had been targeted by an ancient deity from the Nine Heavens.

That gaze ignored space, ignored distance, ignored all his disguises, and was firmly imprinted upon his Divine Soul!

Golden Core Stage!

It was definitely the Divine Sense lock of a Golden Core Stage expert!

For a moment, Lin Gou's mind went blank.

All his plans for the future, all his blueprints for courting death, seemed so pale and ridiculous at this moment.

In front of the absolute will of a Golden Core old monster, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was merely an ant that could be crushed at will.

Run?

Where to run?

In this sealed Secret Realm, he had nowhere to escape.

The shadow of death had never been so real and heavy as it was now.

This time, it wasn't an act.

It wasn't a scheme.

It was a truly unavoidable, inescapable... certain death situation.

However.

This extreme fear and despair lasted for only three breaths.

After three breaths.

Lin Gou's heart, which had been pounding frantically due to fear, suddenly skipped a beat.

An absurd yet perfectly aligned with his core logic thought, like lightning, pierced through all the darkness and fear in his mind.

“Wait…”

“A Golden Core Stage old monster… personally taking action… to kill me?”

Lin Gou's eyes, after the initial terror, slowly and uncontrollably… lit up!

It was a light mixed with trembling, fear, yet also a hint of madness and fervor!

“Killed by a small monster, rewarded with a Medicinal Pill.”

“Killed by someone like Ye Jun's schemes, rewarded with a Heaven Rank Physique prototype.”

“Then… if I am angrily struck down by a true Golden Core Stage mighty expert, with overwhelming force, and utterly obliterated…”

“System… what reward will it give me?”

Once this thought appeared, it was like a prairie fire, instantly burning away all his rationality!

S-rank reward?

Or… the legendary SS-rank, or even SSS-rank Divine-Grade reward?!

Peerless Cultivation Technique? Innate Dao Body? Or direct Ascension on the spot?!

Run?

No!

The question now was no longer whether he could run or not.

Instead… Lin Gou suddenly looked up in the direction of the Divine Sense lock, a twisted ecstasy, uglier than crying, appearing on his face.

“Big shot, please don't lose me!”

He licked his dry lips, with only one thought frantically swirling in his mind.

“What kind of posture should I use to welcome this luxurious 'death gift package' falling from the sky?!”
