"Crunch."
The cave was dark and deep. It was unknown where it led to. Following the entrance of the man and the three beasts, crisp cracking sounds were not emitted one after another.
All the hair on the Blue Sky Beast's body stood up.
It was not because it was cowardly, but rather, it was because it was timid.
It was because the cave gave it a too strong sense of danger, and the ground was littered with dried bones.
Every step he took was accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.
No one knew when the bones of the past formed an endless cave, but every step they took caused its hair to stand on end, as if they were stepping on the bones of their predecessors.
"I'm giving your bloodline some energy."
Qin Ming's slap landed on the Blue Sky Beast's neck, causing it to almost jump out of fright.
Little White was also leaning on Qin Ming's chest nervously, looking around with its watery eyes.
On its small paws, a pea-sized seven-colored spiritual light constantly flickered.
"I wonder what era this cave has existed for."
Ming Tianyue said faintly.
"Mn, it might have been caused by the birth of the Thousand Lightning Prison Realm."
Qin Ming nodded.
In the ancient times, there was absolutely nothing that was simple.
If the Thousand Lightning Prison Realm was really sealed during the Primordial Era, it would be normal for some things to be drawn out.
To be able to scare the Blue Sky Beast to such an extent, one could imagine how terrifying the interior of the cave was.
Other than some bones and fragments of weapons, there were no signs of any other living beings. There was not even a trace of wind. However, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed to be able to suffocate people.
After the bones broke one after another, there was no more communication between Qin Ming and himself.
The two of them were fully on guard, guarding against any enemy that might pop out at any time.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, it seemed as if this cave would never end.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Blue Sky Beast roared, and almost flipped Qin Ming over.
"You …"
Qin Ming was about to rebuke the Blue Sky Beast, when he suddenly saw a ray of light in the distance.
A sliver of... A blood-red light!
As cultivators and demon beasts, even if they didn't have a single strand of light, they could still see things in the dark.
Thus, the influence of darkness on cultivators was extremely small.
But the reason the Blue Sky Beast were so shocked was not just because of the light that suddenly rose from the darkness.
It was the extremely malevolent skeleton and the person sitting cross-legged with a blood-red flame burning on his head.
"Slowly."
Even though Qin Ming's intelligence was astonishing, at that moment, he could not help but be a little solemn.
This Place... Too strange and demonic!
No matter what, it shouldn't have anything to do with the auspicious beast, the Rainbow Deer.
As they got closer and closer, Qin Ming also saw the person who sat cross-legged in the distance with a head full of flames that were bright red like blood.
The moment he saw it, Qin Ming took in a deep breath of cold air.
Behind that person was a door.
The eyes of the cross-legged man with the blazing fire on his head were like black vortexes. If one looked carefully, they would realize that the eyeballs inside had already been dug out.
On his facial features, there were furry roots that looked like plants. It was extremely disgusting.
The upper half of his body was naked, and his heart was bulging, with dense white bones spread all over.
Around him, the bones that were initially everywhere had disappeared, leaving only four or five skeletons of different beasts that were clearly not humans eyeing him covetously. It was as if those demon beasts were extremely fearful of that man when they were alive.
The Blue Sky Beast stopped in its tracks, its hooves lightly digging the ground. A jade-blue brilliance surfaced from its body that was close to exploding, ready to strike at any time.
Qin Ming and Ming Tianyue looked at each other, feeling a chill at the bottom of their hearts.
The man who had his back facing an ancient door that was hidden among countless corpses. Even though it looked like he had been dead for countless years, it made Qin Ming feel a sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.
It seemed like … It was as if the extremely ugly man who was clearly dead was still alive!
The rainbow colored light on Whitey's body flickered even more fiercely. That speed became faster and faster.
Then...
"Pfft."
It was a voice so soft that it could not be heard. If one did not try hard to hear it, they would not be able to sense it.
The seven-colored Spiritual Light completely dissipated within Whitey's hand!
What Qin Ming and Ming Tianyue were looking for, were the trails left behind by the Rainbow Deer, and they ended their mission right outside this door.
But Qin Ming and Ming Tianyue did not feel the slightest bit of happiness.
Because...
With this soft voice that was nearly inaudible, the man seated in front of the ancient large door who looked like a scarlet flame that had risen from within his head trembled slightly following this nearly inaudible sound.
Qin Ming would definitely not doubt his eyes. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to have those hallucinations that seemed to distract his mind.
That could only mean that he had really moved!
"Thunderfire Prefecture, please forgive Qin Ming for coming here to find the Rainbow Deer."
Qin Ming was frightened, following that, the black Power of Nine Serenities wrapped around his body, and bowed towards the man who was shivering a little.
"Crack crack crack."
What answered him was a crisp sound.
The facial hair of the incomparably ugly man, who had a face that seemed to be invaded by some sort of plant, started to flutter slightly.
The crimson flames that burned above his head suddenly flared up, illuminating the cave that was originally shrouded in darkness.
On the spot where the heart was located, where the bones were scattered, a strange flower that seemed to have been formed after sipping countless amounts of fresh blood could be vaguely seen.
Qin Ming only took a glance, and it was as if his entire mind was being sucked in.
"That flower! That flower! "
Ming Tianyue had also noticed the flower that was imprinted on the man's heart, and could not help but exclaim.
Intense fear and shock, overflowed from his heart.
"What is it? "You know him?"
In Qin Ming's hands, the black energy flow circulated even faster and faster.
As long as the man had the slightest intention to attack, he would not be a pushover.
"That's the Resurrection Lily! The Resurrection Lily that had long since disappeared! "
Looking at the man's heart, Ming Tianyue could faintly see a flower, and his body seemed to be trembling.
What natural born supreme being, what master of the River Styx?
The moment Ming Tianyue saw the Resurrection Lily, he felt an unprecedented sense of fear.
"Resurrection Lily... Wasn't it a flower from the ancient Styx? Why are you so nervous? "
Qin Ming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes staring straight at the corpse that should have died long ago, and asked with doubt.
"That is only a legend! There is only one true Resurrection Lily, and as for the legend, there is nothing wrong with it. "
"Because... In the ancient times, all of the Resurrection Lily in the Styx were formed by one flower! "
Just as Ming Tianyue's voice fell, a faint voice that seemed to have come from the Primordial Era resounded beside Qin Ming and Ming Tianyue's ears.
"Kid, you know quite a lot."
Her enchanting and seductive voice, however, caused Qin Ming's entire body to turn cold, as if he had been sealed within an ancient profound ice.
Your ear... Someone was whispering!
