322: Chapter 322 The Three-Headed Ancient Crocodile, the Remnant Soul of the Yin Emperor in the Altar Coffin!

Su Yang led the way into the passage.

The steps extended downward, as if they had no end.

The surrounding walls were covered in glowing green moss.

A dark wind blew up from deep underground, mixed with a bone-chilling cold and a thick scent of blood.

They walked down the stone steps for about half an hour.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

An underground karst cave appeared before everyone's eyes.

The cave was enormous, its boundaries nowhere in sight.

In the center was a churning blood-colored lake.

The lake water was incredibly viscous, with huge blood bubbles constantly rising.

The blood bubbles burst, releasing a pungent, foul stench.

Numerous white bones could be faintly seen floating in the blood water.

A white jade altar stood right in the center of the blood lake.

A giant black coffin was placed on the altar.

The surface of the coffin was carved with patterns of ten thousand ghosts worshipping.

A bead emitting red light hovered above the coffin.

“Yellow Springs Blood Pool.” Bai Li's purple eyes showed gravity.

“The true core of the Yellow Spring Palace is built right above the blood pool. What we are looking for should be on the altar.”

Mary covered her nose, her face full of disgust.

“It stinks to high heaven. The Netherworld is full of disgusting places. There isn't even a place to step.”

Su Yang's hands hung at his sides, his gaze calm.

“Walk straight over.”

Su Yang took a step and stepped directly onto the blood-colored lake surface.

Golden light flickered under his feet as Pure Yang True Qi formed an invisible barrier beneath them, completely isolating the blood water.

The highly corrosive blood water made a sizzling sound upon meeting the Pure Yang True Qi, dissipating into white smoke.

The four women followed behind Su Yang, walking on the water.

The water surface was not calm; they had just reached the center of the lake.

Splash!

The blood water churned violently, kicking up waves over ten meters high.

Three massive blood-colored giant crocodiles suddenly emerged from the bottom of the lake.

The giant crocodiles were dozens of meters long, their bodies covered in blood-colored armor.

Their eyes were like huge lanterns, glinting with cruel, ferocious light.

They opened their bloody maws, bringing a gust of foul wind as they lunged to bite everyone.

The giant crocodiles emitted the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage; in this blood lake, their strength grew manifold.

“Leave it to me!”

Chu Ling tapped her toes, her ice-blue long dress fluttering in the wind.

Her figure was light as she rushed toward the giant crocodile on the far left.

The giant crocodile swung its tail, bringing a gust of wild wind as it smashed toward Chu Ling.

Chu Ling did not dodge or avoid it.

She raised her fair right leg high and delivered a sharp downward kick to the giant crocodile's head.

Bang!

A dull, loud sound echoed within the karst cave.

Cracks were kicked into the giant crocodile's hard skull.

The cold air of the ten thousand year profound ice marrow instantly erupted.

A deep blue cold current spread from the top of the giant crocodile's head throughout its entire body.

In the blink of an eye, this massive Vicious Beast was frozen into a giant red ice block.

Losing its life force, it crashed into the blood lake.

Mary was not to be outdone.

She flapped the black bat wings on her back forcefully and flew into mid-air.

Sharp blood claws grew from her ten fingers.

She turned into a streak of black lightning, instantly landing on the back of the giant crocodile on the right.

The giant crocodile shook its body frantically, trying to throw Mary off.

Mary's feet were like nails driven into the armor.

She tore down forcefully with her sharp claws.

An ear-piercing sound of metal friction rang out.

A large gash was forcibly torn into the armor on the giant crocodile's back.

Black blood gushed out.

The giant crocodile rolled in the blood lake in pain.

Mary seized the opportunity, stabbed a claw into its head, and gave it a forceful stir, ending the battle.

The remaining giant crocodile was the largest, emitting the pressure of the Soul Transformation Early Stage.

It ignored the two women and rushed straight toward Su Yang.

It opened its large mouth and spat out a thick cloud of blood-colored toxic gas.

Su Yang remained expressionless. He clenched his right fist and threw a punch toward the lunging giant crocodile and the toxic gas.

The Pure Yang True Fire, interwoven with gold and purple colors, transformed into a massive fist radiance.

Boom!

The fist radiance instantly burned the blood-colored toxic gas into nothingness, then smashed heavily into the giant crocodile's head.

The indestructible blood-colored armor shattered instantly like paper.

Pure Yang True Fire bored into the giant crocodile's body, burning frantically.

The giant crocodile let out a shrill scream, its massive body struggling violently in the blood water.

The surrounding blood water was boiled to a simmer.

In less than half a minute, the giant crocodile was burned into a pile of ashes.

Having dealt with the Vicious Beasts blocking their path, the group continued forward and stepped onto the white jade altar.

The black coffin in the center of the altar was very large, its surface covered in eerie and complex runes.

The red light bead hovering above the coffin emitted powerful Soul fluctuations.

“yellow spring yin spirit,” Bai Li explained. “A treasure that can greatly enhance Divine Soul power. It seems this is the formation eye.”

Su Yang stepped forward, preparing to reach out and take the bead.

A cold laugh suddenly came from inside the black coffin.

Bang!

A loud explosion.

The coffin lid was blown off by a massive force, smashing heavily against the edge of the altar and shattering into pieces.

A thick cloud of black mist surged out from the coffin.

The black mist condensed in mid-air into the phantom of a man wearing ancient imperial robes.

The man's face was blurred, and he wore a Pingtian Crown; the pressure he emitted was more than ten times stronger than the previous Palace Guarding General.

The terrifying aura of the Soul Transformation Late Stage Peak instantly swept through the entire underground space.

The water of the blood lake was suppressed and stopped churning, the surface becoming as smooth as a mirror.

Chu Ling and Mary took two steps back, their faces showing vigilance.

An old monster of this level was no longer something they could deal with.

The phantom looked down from above, gazing at Su Yang.

“Mortal. Hand over your Physical Body. This seat shall grant you an undying Divine Soul, to be this seat's servant forever.”

The phantom's voice was ethereal, carrying a will that brooked no resistance.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify; the heavy pressure made it difficult to breathe.

Su Yang cracked his neck, making a crisp sound of bones.

His hands hung at his sides, his gaze indifferent.

“Always asking for a Physical Body as soon as you open your mouth. You old things who have been dead for tens of thousands of years, don't you know any other lines besides this one?”

Su Yang took a step forward, the golden light on his body flourishing.

Pure Yang True Fire burned fiercely on his body's surface, instantly dispelling the surrounding pressure.

“If you want to be a robber, you'd better see if you have what it takes. Today, I will beat you until your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!”
