274: Go and try it, the three alien species guarding the door
“We’re only standing at the edge!”
“Before even entering, it’s already making both of us feel a sense of gravity.”
“Do you think we still have a chance?”
Lü Dangyi chuckled, paused, and then let out a soft sigh!
“I just don’t know!”
“What the Opportunity of this Layer will be, but to possess such immense suppression!”
“It’s probably extremely extraordinary!”
“Look at Emperor Jiang, he’s been in there for so long and still hasn’t come out!”
“He must be in the process of seizing that great fortune!”
“As for us!”
“Instead of just standing here watching, it’s better to leave early!”
“What’s more, we—
Can’t even see anything!”
After Lü Dangyi finished speaking, a hint of regret appeared on his face.
He seemed quite regretful!
However, Lü Qi’s expression was gloomy, and his brows showed considerable indignation.
“Hmph!!!”
“I don’t agree with what you said!”
“Although the suppression here has greatly increased, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t enter!
Emperor Jiang still hasn’t come out yet!
What if he failed!
Perhaps he hasn’t obtained that fortune, or perhaps the fortune is not meant for him.
How will we know if we don’t try?”
Hearing Lü Qi’s loud words of dissatisfaction, Lü Dangyi’s eyebrows involuntarily twitched.
“What? Do you want to try?”
“What if I try?”
Lü Qi snorted coldly!
He looked at the Protector beside him, who was the elder previously piloting the large boat.
“Ah, me???”
The elder hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Ultimately!
He was merely an old servant of Falling Star Pavilion!
Although his cultivation level had already reached the Half-step Venerable realm, he had not yet reached the level of being called an old venerable.
Furthermore, in terms of status!
He couldn’t compare to the true disciple of the Grand Elder of the Pavilion, the Emperor Jiang, in front of him.
Since he was a servant, he naturally had to—
Obey his master’s commands!
Feeling the suppressive force emanating from within the Eighth Layer!
The elder, who had originally stepped into the Half-step Venerable realm but was weakened to the Peak of Creation here.
Did not dare to be careless in the slightest!
A solemn expression also appeared on his aged face!
He took out the flying boat!
This was one of his Treasure Artifacts, practically his life-bound artifact, with ancient star patterns carved upon it.
And he had refined it for many years!
In terms of the artifact’s grade!
It had long since entered the Venerable class, one level higher than his cultivation level.
Its defensive power was quite impressive!
After taking it out, he activated the ancient star patterns within it using his magical power.
The entire flying boat emitted a faint starlight!
He held it above him!
Threads of starlight slowly descended, like curtains.
Completely obscuring him!
Protecting him from head to toe.
Looking at the entrance to the Eighth Layer, his old face twitched a few times!
While he was wary, he also showed a determined expression!
He took a step, moving forward!
Just as he extended his foot inside!
That terrifyingly immense suppressive force surged down, like a massive hammer!
Carrying the vast and majestic power of heaven and earth.
“Crack!!!”
The flying boat above his head instantly split apart, turning into countless fragments!
The mighty force penetrated through it!
In just an instant, it smashed the extended leg into smithereens!
Exploding with a bang!
The elder’s expression changed drastically, his face distorted with pain.
After a muffled groan.
He quickly retreated!
But a terrifying aftershock still fell upon him.
His robes were torn!
And then it imprinted on his Physical Body!
Cracks appeared on his muscles, his internal organs violently shook, and even his bones creaked.
Immediately after!
The elder’s face turned pale, his throat choked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Ah, poof!!!”
Fortunately, he reacted in time, and his magical power continuously surged out.
Only then did he manage to stem the spread of his injuries.
Even so!
It was a while before he recovered.
After a moment of silence, the elder cupped his hands towards Lü Qi!
And sighed, saying,
“Lü True Disciple, please forgive this old man for being unable to do anything!”
Lü Qi’s brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, his expression unreadable.
“Rest well and recover from your injuries, you’ve worked hard!”
However, in his heart, he secretly cursed—
“Useless!!!”
“You can’t even handle this small matter, what good are you... Having learned from the past!”
Since even a Half-step Venerable holding a Venerable Artifact was helpless and couldn’t even get in.
He naturally wouldn’t be so foolish as to try to trespass rashly!
His gaze was uncertain!
Unwillingness, resentment, ferocity, killing intent—all sorts of complex emotions intertwined... Finally, they were completely reined in and hidden by him!
He gritted his teeth!
After taking one last look at the Eighth Layer, he fiercely flicked his sleeve and turned to leave first.
“Go!!!”
“Let’s get out of here!”
In this Ancient Stele Forest, he had been utterly unlucky, gaining almost nothing.
Even what was right in front of him was a trap.
Instead, he ended up getting himself injured!
It would be better to leave first and report everything here to the Venerables in the Pavilion.
Lü Dangyi also glanced at the entrance to the Eighth Layer a few more times.
But in the end, he could only let out a heavy sigh!
The Opportunity here!
Was simply not something he could obtain; waiting any longer would only add to his regrets.
“Let’s go too!”
“Let’s search elsewhere!”
“See if there are any other fortunes, such as Medicine Kings or Sacred Medicines!”
Lü Dangyi clasped his hands behind his back and walked down the steps... “Yes!!!”
And outside this palace complex!
Three beast shadows, as vast as mountains, with their heads touching the sky, were standing.
They were herding the Vicious Beasts of the Secret Realm, gathering them in droves here.
Waiting for these people to come out!
Once someone emerged, those Vicious Beasts would frantically pounce and kill.
If they encountered something they couldn’t handle, they would personally intervene!
It was clear!
These three Ancient Exotic Species had reached some kind of agreement and had allied themselves.
One was a Sea Crocodile!
Possessing the Bloodline of an ancient True Dragon!
Its entire body was covered in black scales, gleaming with cold light, and two sharp horns grew on its head.
Its pupils were reddish-brown, extremely violent!
One was a Long-armed Ape, its entire body covered in golden fur, with unusually long arms.
A bronze Treasure Staff rested on its shoulder.
It stood on a mountaintop, its appearance and Aura exuding majesty.
There was also one shaped like a Leopard Cat!
Its beastly body was slender, its fur yellow with circular black spots.
What was eye-catching!
Was that it had two giant tails, which, when swung, sounded like thunder and lightning.
The sound was piercing and clanging, like the clash of metal and stone!
It had the Bloodline of an ancient fierce beast flowing through it, and it was quite extraordinary!
“The Great Black Python and that Great Black Bear...”
“Both of them are dead!”
“It is said that those who killed them were from the Immovable Bright Emperor Clan, and one named Emperor Jiang!”
The Sea Crocodile opened its mouth and let out a long, low growl!
Causing the surrounding Vicious Beasts to tremble instantly!
Wailing incessantly!
