Chapter 597: Wind Statue

Blacklegend had no choice but to give up on the scroll. His life was far more precious than the actual worth of it, so he couldn't afford to risk it all for a mere item with a heaven-defying power. He was already strong enough to topple the words with his feet, so there was no need to mention how strong he was even without the scroll.

Of course, it would be a greater benefit if the scroll become his. After all, the scroll was ancient and had a very powerful background that not even the apex weapons as of now could compare to.

Jin Rou could see the expression on the old man and said, "That ancient scroll is powerful, indeed. However, there is a risky downside of using it. It can consume your soul without you noticing it."

Jin Rou observed the ancient scroll deeply and found secrets that not even anyone knew about. While the scroll was a great boost of power for apex existences like Blacklegend, it was also risky to the point that you might lose your life. It was a double-edged sword and you didn't even know what would happen.

"It can consume soul?" It was the first time the old man heard about this. He had read many records about this scroll yet there had been nothing like what Jin Rou said.

For apex existences like the old man, their body was immortal. They could, anytime, reconstruct their bodies in how they like it. That's why they were called immortals at the perfect level. Nevertheless, they could still die. One method was killing their soul.

Even peak monsters couldn't avoid this weakness. But of course, it could be easily protected by treasures and skills. All in all, a danger of soul being consumed could make anyone become alert.

"Yes. It has a soul devourer which it manifested after millions of years." Jin Rou didn't hide what he discovered, "And if ever you come it touch with it, even I cannot save you."

The old man sucked a deep breath. It was fortunate that he wasn't greedy enough to get that thing. Even if he survived the onslaught of the three statues, he'd still eventually die because of the scroll!

Jin Rou chuckled after seeing the other party's expression. He then walked over to a towering statue. It was the largest of them all and it had the most terrifying aura out of the three statues.

Jin Rou touched the shield the statue was holding, creating a reverberating sound.

"Boom!" The statue's eyes suddenly shone with blue light and moved aggressively like it was a living being, "Intruders!"

"This is the Windgod's territory. Leave or face the consequence!" The statue spoke with a deep voice and emitted a powerful suppression aura.

"What power!" Even the old man was surprised to feel the pressure. This statue was actual stronger than him! If the statues were already this strong, how strong was Windgod when he was still alive?

"We're here for the treasures accumulated by Windgod throughout the years." Jin Rou spoke to the statue, "I seek for your master's will to show up so that we can properly discuss what should be discussed."

Everyone was speechless. Jin Rou was speaking like he was some sort of businessman wanting to make a deal. Take note, this statue could easily raze someone to the ground without difficulty!

"Who are you?" The statue observed Jin Rou for a moment before his voice turning serious. If a while ago, it had filled with mockery, now it was a grave tone that it never used for so long. It might only be a statue, yet his experience was tantamount to any apex monsters in the history, albeit it was unknown.

"I am called Jin Rou." Jin Rou smiled, "I know that your master's will is hiding somewhere here, so you cannot fool me. Only him has the right to discuss matters with me."

It's not that Jin Rou was looking down on the statue. After all, it was surely powerful. However, its position wasn't enough to decide for the deep matters here.

"You know so much." The deep voice became deeper, "Not just anyone can meet our master, especially a person who came out of nowhere."

Jin Rou laughed. He knew what the statue was trying to say, "So, you're going to fight me? I'm sorry but you aren't even enough to become my appetizer. If you and your other two companions join the fray, then it might be a bit interesting."

"Are you underestimating me?" The temperature dropped by several degrees in the room as the eyes of the statue turned red, "Not even Perfect Immortals had the guts to face me, yet you are belittling me?"

"Perfect Immortals and me are total different kinds." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder, "If you aren't convinced, come at me then. Let's see how many move you can last before disappearing."

"I want to see your mighty skills then!" The statue moved and grabbed the large sword behind its back. Because of the weight, it made the whole place shook when it touched the ground, "Show me how capable you are!"

Jin Rou smirked, "Come, then. Let me tell you how much disparity do we have."

The statue was about to be on offense when a calm voice suddenly sounded, "Alpha, that's enough."

Everyone looked at the origin of the voice. A spatial tear appeared and a figure appeared. He was a man, yet he was very beautiful that could shame even the beauty of most women. In fact, even Louise couldn't help but be amazed by this man's beauty!

The wind was with him, circulating gently. He was wearing a light green robe with leaves printed on it. With his long green hair, he was like a god that descended from the heavens.

"Windgod!" Blacklegend had seen Windgod's appearance before. And he was very sure that this person in front of him was the same like he was portraited!

Windgod Perfect Immortal. He was one of the most brilliant immortals ever in the history of Immortal. He was also the one who founded the Wind Gate, the current strongest powerhouse of the entire realm!
