43: Finally fell for it

Xu Jinhuan possessed the Eternal Chaos Body, and his talent was even that of an Immortal King Posture.

Although the Saint Demon King's pressure was terrifyingly peerless, enough to crush an ordinary Life and Death Realm Cultivator and even make God Realm experts feel strained,

when it fell upon him, it was like a gentle breeze brushing against his face, without the slightest obstruction.

What he found even more interesting was that this seemingly indestructible pressure felt hollow and weak in his perception, as thin as a sheet of paper.

With just a little bit of effort, he could easily tear it to shreds.

"Moreover, this isn't Dragon Might. I've seen a dragon and experienced a full-service dragon treatment; Dragon Might isn't like this."

Xu Jinhuan was certain.

When he underwent the Fusion of the Eternal Chaos Body, one of the visions was the manifestation of the Azure Dragon. That kind of Dragon Might was domineering, vast, sacred, and pure, absolutely incomparable to the impure aura before him.

It wasn't wrong to say he had been 'served by a dragon'... Out of curiosity, Xu Jinhuan activated his Double Pupils and looked toward the Giant Dragon Statue that reached into the clouds.

In the next moment, a wisp of alien aura hidden deep within the statue was exposed, and a flash of realization instantly crossed his mind.

"No wonder I always felt this pressure was unfriendly toward Little Loach. It turns out the owner of the pressure isn't his ancestor, but his ancestor's enemy!"

Having figured this out, Xu Jinhuan looked playfully at Ao Haotian ahead, who was drenched in sweat with veins bulging, his gaze full of mockery.

If he let this guy know that the pressure he was desperately resisting and revering as an ancestor's test was actually the handiwork of an arch-enemy, what kind of broken and maddened state would he be in?

He saw through it but didn't expose it.

Such an important matter should, of course, be left for the person involved to discover personally.

"Let's go, we're going in too."

"Okay!"

The Three Women, including Liu Changxi, responded in unison.

After spending time together along the way, The Three Women had long since learned to obey his words unconditionally.

Even Su Zihan, who had joined halfway, was the same.

In just a few breaths' time, the group of four walked a distance of four thousand zhang as if they were taking a leisurely stroll, directly surpassing all the Cultivators except for Ao Haotian!

It was incredibly easy and relaxed, without a hint of pressure.

They were as natural as if they were strolling in their own back garden.

The Saint King's pressure, which was enough to make others' Dao Hearts collapse, was truly like nothing to him!

This scene caused the pupils of all the Cultivators present to shrink instantly, as they gasped in shock!

"Hiss! How... how did he do it?!"

"For me, even taking a step is as hard as climbing to heaven, yet the four of them actually walked four thousand zhang away in a leisurely stroll?!"

A Human Race Prodigy stared with wide eyes, the look of pain on his face vanishing, replaced by extreme shock.

"We are here desperately resisting, our Qi and blood churning, our Dao Hearts shuddering, even lingering on the edge of life and death,"

Another Human Race Cultivator rubbed his eyes hard, fearing he was having a hallucination,

"but he's as relaxed as if he's strolling through his own yard. This gap is just too outrageous!"

"No wonder Saintess Changxi and Fairy Qingyao trust him so much. It turns out this man is the one truly hiding his depth!"

Some Human Race Cultivators muttered to themselves, their eyes full of awe and wild joy as they looked at Xu Jinhuan.

"With him here, our Human Race might truly be able to suppress the Yao Race this time and seize the tomb's Legacy!"

On the Yao Race's side, the Wolf Clan expert who had been full of praise for Ao Haotian earlier was also dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"This is impossible! Could the Saint King's pressure be ineffective against him?!"

"That is the Saint King's pressure that can crush God Realm experts! How could a seemingly young human completely ignore it?!"

The complexions of several Cultivators from the Golden Flood Dragon Clan changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror and wariness as they looked at Xu Jinhuan's group.

"In that case, Young Lord Haotian has met his match..."

Even Ao Haotian, who was at the very front, was startled by the exclamations behind him and subconsciously looked back.

When he saw the four of them standing at the four thousand zhang mark as if taking a leisurely stroll, their expressions calm without a trace of exhaustion,

his pupils suddenly shrank, his whole body stiffened, and a mouthful of rebellious blood almost sprayed out on the spot!

"What kind of monsters are these four fellows?!"

A strong sense of crisis instantly emerged from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body. The fear of being repeatedly intercepted and dominated by Xu Jinhuan returned once again.

Ao Haotian's heart went cold as despair rapidly grew.

"At their speed, I'm afraid I'll be overtaken by them soon!"

"Could it be that I still can't escape the fate of being intercepted this time?"

But just as he was on the verge of collapse, a faint, vague sense of closeness and goodwill suddenly came from the pressure, as if an ancestor were secretly protecting him.

It was exactly this perception that instantly soothed the unease and restlessness in Ao Haotian's heart.

"Hahaha, your talent is indeed very high, but coming out to explore a Secret Realm is about Opportunity and Luck. This is the great tomb of my Golden Flood Dragon ancestors. No matter how high your talent is, you are destined to be a group of losers!"

"I have my ancestor's help, do you?! Hahaha!"

"Once I obtain the ancestor's Legacy, that will be the day you die!"

"Xu Jinhuan, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces, and as for the women by your side, I will definitely tame them into the lowliest beasts right before your eyes!"

Vowing viciously in his heart, Ao Haotian snapped his head back, no longer paying attention to the movement behind him, and madly activated the demon power in his body to continue advancing toward the statue.

He truly hated Xu Jinhuan too much!

Whether it was the appearance of his enemy stimulating his potential or the blessing from that 'ancestor's protection' feeling, his speed was actually several times faster than before!

In just fifteen minutes, he reached the front of the statue, only one step away from the end.

Looking back, Xu Jinhuan's group of four hadn't caught up. They were several hundred zhang behind him, advancing slowly as if completely suppressed by that heaven-shaking Dragon Might, unable to speed up.

"Hahaha! I truly am the strongest Genius in the history of the Golden Flood Dragon Clan!"

Ao Haotian threw his head back and laughed wildly, his face full of arrogance and smugness.

"You, surnamed Xu, wash your neck and wait for me! The Legacy is mine, and your life will be mine sooner or later!"

With a hideous grin, he took the final step.

In an instant, a heavenly sound exploded like the roaring of the Heavenly Dao Laws in his ears, and a voice containing endless majesty resounded directly through his Sea of Consciousness.

"Kneel and worship this venerable one's statue to obtain one volume of a Great Sage Cultivation Technique..."

This voice carried the power of the Great Dao Laws, noble and sacred.

It was exactly the Saint King's Might!

Ao Haotian's heart and mind shook violently, and a wild tide of joy instantly rose in his eyes!

Finally! He had finally obtained the core Opportunity of this Secret Realm!

This time, his Opportunity had not been intercepted by Xu Jinhuan!

Without a shred of hesitation, Ao Haotian instantly transformed into his human form, wearing golden battle armor.

He bent down and bowed, prostrating himself toward the Golden Dragon Statue, his face full of devotion and greed.

"Junior Ao Haotian pays respects to the Ancestor! I sincerely request the Ancestor to bestow the Legacy!"

Behind him, Xu Jinhuan watched this scene and finally sighed in relief.

"He's finally fallen for it."
