Chapter 1337: One Layer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the catacombs, Xu Qing’s figure transformed into a rainbow that headed straight for the golden rat. 40 million soul threads formed a great world outside.

Feng took a deep breath. Five great worlds – two corporeal and three illusory – appeared on his body. Each of them emitted a different color of light as they attacked the golden rat.

As for Lan Yao, the surrounding flower petals formed a storm and transformed into an eight-colored peac.o.c.k. After it faced the sky and absorbed the surrounding power of heaven and earth, it expanded by 1000 feet and pounced at the golden rat.

The corpse puppet was unafraid of death and rushed forward.

Attacks rained down on the golden rat from different directions.

The lethality of the attacks was astonis.h.i.+ng.

A rumbling sound spread from the battlefield, causing the surrounding mud walls to show signs of collapse. The ruins below also collapsed and countless withered roots turned into ashes.

However, this golden rat was truly terrifying. Regardless of whether it was its body or the divinity in its body, they had reached the peak of a divine creature and were only a trace away from igniting the divine fire.

Before the destructive power of Xu Qing and the group’s attacks landed on the golden rat, the golden light on its entire body suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the entire catacombs world was dyed golden.

!!..

A destructive might swept in all directions with the golden light.

Xu Qing’s 40 million soul threads world instantly collapsed. The golden light transformed into an overwhelming force that blasted into Xu Qing’s body, causing him to spurt out blood and sending him flying.

It was the same for Feng. All his great worlds shattered into pieces and his body was swept back under this unstoppable might.

Lan Yao’s eight-colored peac.o.c.k was torn apart by the golden light. Her face was pale and her expression was incomparably solemn. She retreated while protecting herself.

As for the corpse puppet…

As soon as the golden light pa.s.sed through it, it shook. The next instant, the golden rat’s figure appeared in front of it and bit down fiercely.

There was a cracking sound.

Half of the corpse puppet’s body was swallowed by the golden rat. The remaining half shattered under the swing of the golden rat’s head and collided with the mud wall at the side, completely destroyed.

This scene caused the hearts of Xu Qing and the other two to tremble violently.

However, after the golden rat killed the puppet, it didn’t continue rus.h.i.+ng toward Xu Qing and the other two. Instead, it returned to the side of the tunnel and watched with a ferocious gaze.

“If the two of you only have these methods, I’ll give up on this trip!”

Xu Qing’s expression was gloomy as he continued to retreat. The terror of this golden rat was no longer something he could resist.

If this continued, his survival would be at stake.

After all, just one flash from the golden light had destroyed his great world. Xu Qing felt that even if he could block the subsequent attack of the golden rat that had destroyed the puppet, the price he had to pay would be huge.

“Fellow Daoist Flame Mystic, wait a moment. There’s something wrong with this golden rat. It only seems to be guarding the entrance. Could it be that there’s something important to the golden rat in the Liaoxuan Pool that my ancestor set up?”

“Or maybe its goal is also the liaoxuan liquid?”

Feng’s expression was unsightly. He looked at the golden rat guarding the entrance of the tunnel and said in a deep voice.

Xu Qing paused when he heard this.

At that moment, Lan Yao’s breathing was hurried. Suddenly, an eight-colored light appeared in her eyes as she looked at the golden rat and quickly spoke.

“There’s one more thing that’s not right. This beast’s divinity is already at the peak and it’s in a state where it’s about to ignite its divine fire. It’s not much different from a Perfected Soul Acc.u.mulation.”

It’s just that although the combat strength it displayed is strong, it’s far from being as terrifying as the peak of the Soul Acc.u.mulation Realm…”

“I understand now. This beast was once a G.o.d and its divine fire was extinguished. Moreover, it has extremely serious injuries that shook its foundation. They should be injuries left behind from the battle where its divine fire was extinguished!”

“It hasn’t recovered yet. Moreover, this beast seems to have given birth recently… It’s in an extremely weak state!”

The eight-colored light in Lan Yao’s eyes clearly possessed terrifying probing power. She actually saw many key points.

When Xu Qing heard this, he fell into deep thought. This information was in line with his judgment, and through Little Shadow, he had seen two eggs in this tunnel…

“Although that’s the case, this beast isn’t something we can fight against.

However, 1 have an artifact here that might be able to trap it for a period of time.”

Lan Yao quickly spoke while maintaining vigilance against the golden rat.

“However, it will take some time to activate the artifact. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Feng and Fellow Daoist Flame Mystic, I need you to protect me during this period.”

Feng immediately nodded. After that, he coldly looked at Xu Qing. His hand that was holding Erniu’s neck exerted a little force, emitting cracking sounds.

There was no need to mention any threats. His action had already exposed it.

Xu Qing’s expression was ugly. After a few breaths of silence, he took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

“I’ll only guard for fifteen minutes. If we can’t trap this beast after that, I’ll give up immediately. I won’t partic.i.p.ate in the matters here anymore. Also, Fellow Daoist Feng has to release my Eldest Senior Brother when I leave.”

Feng nodded decisively. As long as Xu Qing didn’t request to release Erniu now, he could accept it.

Seeing that Xu Qing and Feng had agreed to her plan, Lan Yao no longer hesitated. She retreated a little and sat cross-legged in the distance, taking out a mirror and placing it in front of her.

After that, she performed a series of hand seals with both hands and pointed toward the mirror. Immediately, the mirror shone and nine closed eyes appeared.

These nine eyes emitted bizarreness, and their aura started rising.

“Nine-Eyes Mystic Magic Mirror!”

After Feng swept his gaze over, he was a little moved and believed Lan Yao’s words even more.

A strange glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

‘This mirror is somewhat similar to the magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes…’

At the same time, the moment the aura of the mirror spread out, the golden rat guarding the entrance of the tunnel suddenly looked in Lan Yao’s direction. The ferocity in its eyes was intense and as the golden light flickered, its body blurred again.

At the next instant, with a whistling sound, the golden rat headed straight for Lan Yao.

Feng didn’t hesitate and blocked with all his might. Xu Qing also gritted his teeth and cooperated.

A rumbling sound rang out and Xu Qing’s entire body trembled. He only felt golden light fill his vision as a terrifying force gushed over. At the next instant, his body was thrown back and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Countless cracks appeared on the Grand Mystic Heaven Armor and the Jiuli Magus Armor. His divine body was shaken and his internal organs churned intensely.

Feng also didn’t have it easy and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, at this critical moment, he reluctantly took out a purple ring and placed it outside to form a protective barrier.

The barrier’s defense was astonis.h.i.+ng. Although it shattered, it still blocked the golden rat’s attack in the end.

“Flame Mystic, send your energy into this ring!”

Feng’s face was pale as he hurriedly spoke. At the same time, he circulated his cultivation base and fused it into the purple ring, allowing the treasure’s barrier to recover rapidly.

This purple ring was the trump card he had prepared for this trip. He had originally planned to use it later, but now, he had no choice but to take it out in advance.

Xu Qing remained silent. His gaze swept past the purple ring and could tell that this item was extraordinary. When he heard Feng, he hesitated a little. However, he instantly became decisive. His cultivation base spread out and fused into the purple ring’s barrier.

In the blink of an eye, as the purple ring’s energy increased greatly, the golden rat outside rushed over again. Golden light erupted explosively and combined with its impact, it formed a terrifying huge force.

With a boom, the purple ring’s barrier rapidly flickered and cracks appeared. Xu Qing and Feng both spat out blood, but stopped it once again.

However, the golden rat seemed to have gone slightly crazy. Suddenly, its body stopped in mid-air. All its golden fur stood up and broke, forming countless golden needles that shot toward Xu Qing and Feng.

They were extremely sharp and their speed was astonis.h.i.+ng, forming a golden storm.

Amidst the rumbling, the purple ring’s defense lasted for a breath of time before collapsing. The purple ring itself also shattered into pieces.

Xu Qing and Feng’s expressions changed. It was unknown if they really didn’t have any strength left but they quickly retreated.

At this moment, from the looks of the situation, it seemed that it would be very difficult for them to continue guarding.

Hence, those golden needles all shot toward Lan Yao.

Seeing that the needles were approaching, Lan Yao’s closed eyes suddenly opened. After a flash of anger, she raised her hand and the nine eyes on the mirror in front of her opened at the same time.

Being able to attack at such a critical moment, it’s apparent whether her earlier claim of needing time was true or false.

As the nine eyes on the mirror opened, the nine gazes materialized into nine black pillars of light.

A vast power erupted from within. As they spread out, the golden needles paused in mid-air.

The golden rat was also stared at by the nine corporeal gazes. Its body trembled and it actually stopped moving in the air. However, the aura on its body churned as though it was struggling.

“I can only trap it for fifteen minutes. Any contact during this period will allow it to escape instantly!”

Lan Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and it landed on the mirror, causing the nine eyes in the mirror to look even more demonic. After that, her body swayed and she ignored the mirror floating there as she headed straight for the tunnel.

Feng also moved extremely fast.

Xu Qing also followed immediately.

In an instant, the three of them rushed into the tunnel one after another.

Without the obstruction of the golden rat and time being tight, Feng and Lan Yao no longer had the thoughts of scheming, so the journey through the tunnel went smoothly.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the end of the tunnel.

This place was a cave, but the range wasn’t large, only about 1,000 feet. The marks were rough, indicating that it had been hurriedly opened back then.

In the center was a five-foot-wide pool, with a tender green branch hanging down from the ceiling. At the moment the three arrived, a drop of clear liquid fell from this branch.

With a thud, it landed on the surface of the pool.

At the same time, it also attracted the gazes of Xu Qing and the other two.

In the pool, there was an egg. At the same time, a dense fragrance rose from the water and spread around.

Xu Qing took a sniff and felt his thoughts becoming extremely clear. Even the faint divine authorities on the nihility land in his body flickered slightly.

Countless laws of divine authorities flowed in his mind.

Xu Qing was moved.

“Liaoxuan holy liquid!”

Feng and Lan Yao’s breathing were also hurried.

However, after seeing the amount of water in the pool clearly, the expressions of the three of them changed drastically. There was really too little liaoxuan holy liquid in the pool…

There was only one thin layer of it..
