Chapter Thirty-Two The Qiongqi Divine Beast

The entrance of the God Beast Underground Cave was enormous like a circular arch. The entrance was completely empty and was no different from an ordinary cave. Everyone seemed to relax a little as they never expected something so horrifying to happen.

When they were about to enter the cave, Guest Warrior Xin turned to face the crowd and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this God Beast Underground is the Qiong Qi we are killing. I hope that everyone will abandon their world and work together to attack."

As they walked through the cave entrance, a ghastly and cold aura rushed towards them. Everyone felt the chill increase with every step they took. The cave was wide and dark, and the air was murky. The smell of rotting animal flesh was mixed with filth and blood. It was like a battlefield that had just experienced a bitter battle. The intermittent "hua hua hua" sounds that came from deep inside the cave would make anyone's hair stand on end. Everyone held their breath, wishing that they could observe every direction and maintain a posture to prevent any unknown surprise attacks.

The chilly air sent shivers down one's spine. Dao Sha said in a low voice, "The chilliness of this catacombs is comparable to the abyssal cold palace of Candle Jiuyin."

No one cared about what he said, but Hidden Spirit heard it clearly. This reminded him of Zhu Jiuyin. Why didn't this taciturn and proud brother come? Could it be that he didn't want to come? Or did he have another mission? The spirit's thoughts were flying about when he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a drop of boiling water dripping down.

At this time, everyone was also burning with pain from the scalding water droplets, complaining incessantly. The hidden spirit raised his head and saw that the water droplets came from the water droplets at the top of the cave. However, the cave was cold and serene, so how could the water droplets be so scorching?

"Everyone, be careful. Don't let the water droplets fall on you. These droplets are extremely corrosive. Be careful of hurting your body!"

The hidden spirit had long since lifted its long sleeves over Gu Xueluo's head, blocking the water droplets for her. Gu Xueluo's body was covered in blood from killing the Flying Blood Bat, but her face was still clean and beautiful. Even if she was exhausted, it would still be difficult to hide the natural beauty of her face. Her beautiful face was like a peach blossom that had yet to bloom, attracting eyes.

While everyone was dodging the droplets, Shen Jingyang received a droplet of water from the blade of his sword. After sniffing it, he said, "According to the < Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia >, the water droplets in the God Beast Lair are formed from a thousand years of cold air. They are mixed with the evil energy of the lair and the Qiong Qi's evil energy. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the front with the mottled sword in his hand. "Bang!" A huge red transparent halo appeared above everyone's heads, blocking the water droplets on the ceiling.

The hidden spirit heard that Shen Jingyang was indeed worthy of his title and felt ashamed. He originally thought that he would be proud and proud just because he had memorized a third of the first chapter of the 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Scripture'. He never thought that Shen Jingyang would be able to memorize the entire 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Scripture'.

Foreign Dignitary Xin looked at Shen Jingyang with praise and admiration. Back in the day, he had only heard of Shen Jingyang's unruly and unruly character in the Tai Hua Altar. Now that he saw such a talented youth, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Everyone was within the sword ray halo created by Shen Jingyang. The deeper they went into the cave, the darker and more sinister it became. In the endless cave, only this sword ray halo could shine. In front of them was a dark and serene area. As they slowly moved forward, their backs were once again plunged into darkness.

And in front of them, the endless darkness was like an invisible claw, tightly grabbing onto them and dragging them into an irreparable situation.

The light of hope in the endless darkness seemed as if it was about to be devoured.

As they proceeded forward, they seemed to be on the verge of being imprisoned.

In the darkness, the fifth hidden spirit and Gu Xueluo's hands were tightly clenched. Thin beads of sweat seeped out of the center of their palms, and their palms became moist and soft, like two young, hot, heart-throbbing hearts. At this moment, time seemed to stop. Although the two of them could not see each other's facial expressions, they could both feel the perseverance, calmness, and perhaps even shyness on each other's faces.

Just like this, an unknown amount of time passed. This ancient and mysterious, long and dark underground cave seemed to have no end. There seemed to be no time and space here, only endless darkness, endless suppression, and endless chilliness. Although the surroundings were spacious and empty, it was filled with twists and turns. Other than the fact that it was sloping towards the boundless underground, no one could tell which direction was which.

The cave was completely silent. The intermittent "hua hua hua" sounds had long since disappeared. In this darkness, other than the footsteps of the crowd, there were no other sounds. The hidden spirit suddenly felt the surrounding infernal energy become heavier and heavier. It was unknown just how deep into the catacombs it had penetrated.

The sword beam created by Shen Jingyang illuminated the area where the group was headed, just like a beacon in the darkness, guiding them forward. Foreign Dignitary Xin was walking at the front. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings of the cave from time to time to deal with any possible dangers.

Suddenly, he turned around and stretched out his palm. With a frosty expression, he said, "Everyone, hold on!" Everyone was shocked, fearing that another crisis might occur. They could not help but tremble, and Dao Sha was so scared that he jumped up and brandished his sword in preparation to fight. His overly tense and comical actions made everyone laugh.

Dao Ba felt slightly embarrassed and pretended to be calm as he coughed dryly, "Great Master Xin, my heart is almost in my throat. What's so new about it? Can you stop being so shocked? My little heart is almost unable to take it."

He turned to Lang Yuan and said, "Brother, it's so funny. Why would I be so nervous if it wasn't for your safety?" In order to resolve his own awkwardness, Dao Sha brought up Foreign Dignitary Xin and Lang Gongyuan. His implied meaning was that he was so nervous for the sake of everyone else. Everyone was well aware of this, so they did not argue with him.

Everyone was laughing at Dao Sha's actions, while the fifth hidden spirit and Shen Jingyang were simultaneously looking around. They almost simultaneously discovered the abnormality of the cave wall.

Foreign Dignitary Xin said: "It's not that I'm deliberately mystifying. It's just that there's something out of the ordinary. Everyone, please take a look at the surrounding cave walls."

Only then did everyone cast their gazes towards the cave wall, only to see that there were neat portraits of a human figure engraved on the wall. Although their shapes were strange, they seemed to be movements from cultivators, and beside each portrait was a row of tiny ancient runes.

Zhen Wuyi revealed a surprised joy on his face as he cheerfully said: "There is a record in the 'Ancient Psionic Record' that there is a supreme secret manual of the Six Realms, 'Profound Yellow Scripture'. Presumably, this painting is the movements of the 'Profound Yellow Scripture'." With a proud expression, Zhen Wuyi surveyed the crowd. He glanced at Shen Jingyang with a victorious attitude, as if he was saying, "Not only do you know the 'Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia', I can also do it!"

The crowd looked at the portrait, skeptical.

Shen Jingyang gently smiled and said, "You're right, the 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Record' does indeed mention that there is the 'Profound Sky Yellow Scripture' hidden in the God Beast Cave, but it has nothing to do with this stone carvings. This is the Qi Nurturing meridian diagram that Senior Immemorial used to use in the time of his seclusion to strengthen his body."

When everyone heard this, they slightly nodded their heads. Zhen Wuyi's mouth opened wide in an attempt to refute, but he remained silent, his face flushing red.

It was as if Shen Jingyang wasn't satisfied. He glanced at Zhen Wuyi and arrogantly said, "The things that I said just now belong to the last chapter of the 'Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia'. You definitely haven't seen it yet, right? But then again, could it be that your Demon and Demon Realms have been dreaming of obtaining the 'Profound Yellow Scripture of the Heavens and Earth' so they decided to participate in the beast elimination stage? "

Shen Jingyang's mocking words and contemptuous expression made Zhen Wuyi extremely embarrassed. Zhen Wuyi angrily retorted, "Shen Jingyang, you know too much. What do you have to be proud of for abandoning a disciple of such a high status? Let me tell you, I'm the most talented person in the six realms. You can't even be considered a substitute!"

Dao Sha was dissatisfied with Shen Jingyang's mockery of the Demon and Demon worlds, and ignored Shen Jingyang's righteous actions of defending him against the flying bat. He echoed, "You people of the human world always regard yourselves as righteous, and categorize the other sects as heretical evil sects. I think that there are some people with malicious intentions."

Seeing the two sides arguing and seeing how they had not met any Qiong Qi Divine Beasts, Foreign Dignitary Xin laughed and said with a face full of smiles, "Don't be angry, Shen Ying Yang does not have any intention of insulting the Demon and Demon Realms. Don't be overly sensitive towards Zhen Wu Yi and Dao Sha. Today, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here and eliminate beasts. Don't mess around with us, let's give these Qiong Qi a chance. "

The fifth Hidden Spirit understood that if both sides are at odds with each other, and if there is nothing to gain from it, then it would be impossible for such matters to go awry for the sake of words. However, we are not far from the bottom of the cave, so we must sincerely cooperate. We have succeeded in getting rid of the beasts this time. I will invite all of you to Jade Wall City and have a drink of the 'Jade Arms Spring Colors'! "

Shen Jingyang secretly blamed himself for his slip of the tongue. He was afraid that the quarrel would spoil the grand matter of the Beast Repellent. He smiled and said, "Alright, let's get rid of the beast first. When the time comes, we can get drunk."

Upon hearing "Jade Arm Spring Beauty", Lang gongyuan's eyebrows shot up, "Everyone, this' Jade Arm Spring Beauty 'is a rare wine in the mortal world. This Hidden Spirit Brother is going to spend so much money. Count me in!" This caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed and harmonious.

The gloomy catacombs suddenly came to an end. In front of them was a huge pool of water. The area was open and the top was hollow. It formed an enormous space, resembling a deep lake in a mountain valley. When everyone reached this point, they couldn't help but be shocked within their hearts. Could it be that they had already reached the bottom of the cave? How come they didn't see Qiong Qi?

Yun Meng turned to Zhen Wuyi and asked: "Brother Wuyi, what is written in the 'Ancient Psyche Encyclopedia' about this place? Why haven't we seen Qiong Qi yet?"

Once again, Zhen Wuyi opened his mouth wide, but was unable to say anything. He said: "This … I'm afraid... It can't be recorded, right? Didn't the Sunshine Brothers remember the 'Ancient Sorcerer Record' so well? Did he know this place the best? "

Finished speaking, he stared at Shen Jingyang with a smile that was not a smile, as if he was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Shen Jingyang was rather calm and said with a smile, "The 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Book' does not have any records about the pool. I see that the cliff face is not too steep, and it seems to have a hidden door. How about we climb it?"

Foreign Dignitary Xin frowned slightly as his eyes lit up. He muttered to himself: "Climbing the cliff is equivalent to draining our fates. If Qiong Qi takes the opportunity to attack, how are we going to deal with it?"

As everyone was discussing, they suddenly felt as if the ground beneath their feet was wiggling. They could vaguely hear the sound of something breaking through the earth. However, everyone was still calm. He once again held his breath, gathered his strength, and immediately cried out loud. "Not good! There is a Qiong Qi underground! "

Just as he said that, a dull thud echoed out, piercing through the silent catacombs, like a clap of thunder exploding from the ground. In an instant, everyone felt as though their heads were going dizzy, the earth shaking, the mountains shaking, the cold wind whistling by their ears, a huge force gushed out from beneath their feet, and the hard ground immediately became filled with thousands of ravines. They saw that the nine of them were already floating in midair. Saber Fiend, Lingran Long Wind, Zhen Wuyi, and Lang Gongyuan, who had slightly weaker abilities, had already lost their balance. The fifth hidden spirit, Gu Xueluo, Shen Jingyang, Foreign Dignitary Xin, and Xiang Yun had also used all their strength to control their bodies.

An incomparably large brown beast slowly rose from the ground. Its lower body had already penetrated deep into the pool, and its two sharp claws slightly revealed the surface of the pool. The upper half of the beast was over a hundred feet above the ground, and its large head was simply several times larger than that of the water qilin!

With great difficulty, Dao Sha stabilized his body and exclaimed, "Not good! A Qiong Qi beast!"

"You don't need to say that!" Shen Jingyang coldly replied.

He opened his bloody mouth wide, and his two eyes shone with a dark green light. This was the first time the fifth hidden spirit had seen a Qiong Qi beast in his life, and also the first time seeing such a huge creature. The water qilin and the Three-Legged Crow King were practically insignificant.

Qiong Qi kept moaning and gasping. Suddenly, from his bloody mouth, a few rays of sharp scarlet light shot out. The dazzling light whistled in the darkness as it stabbed towards the group with a strong gust of wind. "BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW… … … … … …" After all, he had already reached the highest level of the cultivation realm, and he had also trained in the first volume of the Profound Sky Yellow Scripture. As the glow condensed, a black blade wrapped around the blade. The ray of light had already arrived in front of him. The Spirit of Concealed Light quickly threw the Green Hidden Sword backwards. The black blade and the ray of light tightly clashed, instantly emitting a fishy stench.

The fifth hidden spirit was using its inner force to drive Wu Feng to battle against that beam of light.

That poor strange beast shook its head angrily. It had a row of terrifying and bloody fangs. Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide, twisted its body and pounced towards the fifth Hidden Spirit. It seemed to want to swallow the Hidden Spirit in one gulp. Gu Xueluo, who was far away, was terrified but unable to escape. She did her best to shout, "Hidden Spirit, be careful!" Due to Gu Xueluo being distracted for a moment, she was hit by the light for several zhang.

With the sudden attack from the big mouth, the fifth hidden spirit's body floated in the air. Raising his hands above his head, he used the Green Hidden Sword to create a profound sword ray and blocked the attack towards the big mouth, but the immense force actually pushed him backwards. The hidden spirit condensed all the internal energy within his body to stop Qiong Qi's blood from flowing out. His eyes flashed with golden stars as a heart-wrenching pain spread to his internal organs. When his life was at stake, the hidden spirit desperately gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

The Qiong Qi Beast's head tilted slightly as it charged towards the hidden spirit, the tip of its teeth glinting with a cold light. The hidden spirit's heart tightened, it gritted its teeth, and with a flash of profound light, it swung its sword towards the blood spirit's mouth, and in the middle of the air, one of the sharp teeth was broken, flying straight over. The hidden spirit ferociously flashed, and with a "peng" sound, half of its fangs inserted into the hole in the wall, causing rubble to fly everywhere.

The Qiong Qi Beast had one of its fangs broken, and the intense pain enraged it. It roared as it rushed over, and its face turned deathly pale as it used all of its strength to fly out to meet the attack.
