Chapter 237 - 237 Old Man, You Have No Value Anymore!
Although the various opportunities one could find in the Demon Imperial Tombs were mostly tests, the place was not completely free of danger.
For example, in the current situation, it did not take a genius to know that there was definitely something strange about this voice. It was even possible that some monsters in the Demon Imperial Tombs were playing tricks to lure the living beings over so as to devour their flesh and souls.
There was a saying that the monsters in the Demon Imperial Tombs were creatures that were buried with the Demon Emperor. Due to the intense unwillingness and resentment they had when they died, they eventually evolved into monsters.
“Save… save… me…”
However, the voice in the depths of the ancient temple did not seem to want to let Feng Xia go. As he gradually backed away, the voice seemed to become even clearer and filled with endless temptation.
“As long as you save me… I can teach you how to become a deity… Do you want to become a deity… and light up the heavens…”
“I have ways to become a deity.” Feng Xia paused for a moment and answered instinctively.
“…”
The ancient temple fell silent again.
Feng Xia waited for a moment. Seeing that the other party seemed to be speechless, he just shook his head regretfully and prepared to turn around and walk out of the ancient temple.
At this moment, the voice from the ancient temple sounded again.
“Do you want to live forever, to age together with heaven and earth?”
“No. Why?” Feng Xia’s answer was still very straightforward. “If I live as long as heaven and earth, won’t I be destroyed too if the world is destroyed?”
You are so unambitious, are you not?
“…?”
The moment he finished speaking, Feng Xia could clearly feel that the voice in the ancient temple suddenly seemed dumbstruck. It was as if it had been struck by lightning from the sky and had begun to think about the meaning of life.
“You’re indeed quite interesting… I must say you’re the most interesting young man I’ve seen in so many years!”
Finally, the voice in the ancient temple no longer concealed itself. Instead, it laughed out loud.
As it laughed, it suddenly stopped and asked in a sharp tone.
“Young man, are you willing to make a deal with me?!”
“Of course. Can you kowtow to me 10 times?”
Feng Xia asked without a second thought.
“Of course… you…” The voice stopped mid-sentence and then sounded angry. “Are you toying with me?”
Feng Xia was surprised. “You can actually tell? That’s not an easy thing to do!”
“…”
After a long silence, as if weighing the pros and cons, the voice finally asked hesitantly, “Is there anything you want?”
“I want world peace.”
“…Change it.”
“Then can you help me advance to the Deity Realm?”
The Azure Dragon incarnation pointed to himself.
“…Change to another one.”
“This won’t do and that won’t do.” At this point, the Azure Dragon incarnation’s face finally fell. He sneered and said, “Old man, you’ve lost your value!”
“Kid, don’t you have any other wishes?”
The voice sounded a little anxious. The location of this dilapidated temple was rather remote. The young man in front of it was the only outsider who had come by in the past few hundred years!
Once it missed this chance, it did not know how many hundreds of years it would have to wait!
“It’s not as if I don’t have any wishes.” Feng Xia thought for a moment and made a new request. “I hope you can escape your current situation.”
“… ???”
“How about this? I’ll raise your cultivation to the peak of the Primal Core Realm, and in exchange, you help me run one errand. What do you think of this deal?”
“Deal.”
Feng Xia thought about it and finally decided to agree.
In any case, it was the Azure Dragon incarnation who would level up his cultivation. Even if something unexpected happened, it would not affect his original body. More importantly, he felt that he might be able to obtain some unexpected information from these monsters!
“Then come here. There are some things that are not suitable to be discussed outside.”
Feng Xia carefully approached and stood outside the temple hall to look inside.
It was pitch dark inside the dilapidated temple. One could only vaguely see the statue of a huge Buddha. The golden paint had long been peeled off, revealing the original color of the material.
Behind the Buddha statue was an incredibly deep darkness.
“Kid, come in quickly so that I can talk to you.”
At this moment, the voice that was calling out to Feng Xia came from the darkness behind the Buddha statue. It was exceptionally sinister and strange, making one’s flesh creep.
Unknowingly, a fine layer of goosebumps had appeared on the back of the Azure Dragon incarnation’s neck.
“Then I’m coming in,” Feng Xia said in a low voice. His expression was solemn as he raised his leg to walk into the dilapidated temple.
The darkness behind the Buddha statue surged even more violently.
In the blink of an eye.
Right at this moment, a wisp of a vast and resplendent knife light, looking incredibly breathtaking and seemingly able to illuminate space and time, shot out from Feng Xia’s palm, and then it slashed down onto the dilapidated temple!
“Do you think I’m stupid?”
Feng Xia raised his middle finger at it and then activated the power of the butcher knife once again. Surging murderous aura swept through the sky and descended, chopping the dilapidated temple into two from top to bottom!
Not only that, but the knife light also moved towards the willow tree. Only then did the willow branches suddenly drop forward to block the sharp knife light.
“What? You actually discovered my true form?!”
The voice finally became extremely shocked. However, it did not come from the dilapidated temple this time. Instead, it came from the willow tree. To be precise, it came from the face on the willow tree!
At the same time, the dilapidated temple that was split open by Feng Xia’s knife was fully restored to its original appearance.
It was a cage made from countless roots being weaved together!
It was obvious that once Feng Xia stepped into it, he would definitely be firmly entangled and have no possibility of escaping.
“What’s so difficult about discovering your true form? Do you think your illusion technique is very good?”
Feng Xia laughed and changed directions without hesitation. The knife light was epic and indomitable and the knife soul emitted endless light. For a moment, it was as if everything in this world had become a knife in his hand and his heart, and could cut through all obstacles!
I will slash the 3,000 Realms!
“Damn it—even if you discovered my true form, you’re too weak. You definitely can’t break my…”
Crack!
The butcher knife landed easily and cut the willow tree in half. The tree demon’s voice froze. “Your… knife…”
“It’s just a butcher knife.”
Feng Xia said indifferently. Then, the willow tree exploded and turned into a stream of light that filled the sky. Finally, a jade talisman appeared in the stream of light and floated into his palm.
“It’s this kind of jade talisman again. As expected, the opening of the Demon Imperial Tombs this time is completely different from before. In the past, this kind of jade talisman did not appear…”
Feng Xia muttered softly.
Suddenly, a cold and heartless voice sounded from the sky above the Demon Imperial Tombs, echoing throughout the world.
“For challengers who have obtained the Deity Breaking Talisman, the Heavenly Stairway will open in three days. Those who have the talisman can go up the Heavenly Stairway and peer into the sky and beyond.”
