Chapter 84: The Fear of a Heavenly Powerhouse

  Can I have some recommendation tickets?

  In fact, as soon as Qin Li took the torch and walked out of the ancient ruins, more than 20 people had already discovered him!

  It's not surprising that Qin Li was careless, but the divine sense of a top-level warrior is too sensitive. Although he only held a torch and walked out of the ancient ruins for an instant, it was like a bright lamp in the dark night to a top-level warrior.

  In fact, Qin Li could already be proud of himself, because he had been using his lightness skill all the way until he entered the ancient ruins, and no one was able to detect his tracks!

  Throughout the entire Tianyuan continent, there are only a handful of Xuan-level warriors who can achieve what he has. So for a warrior below the Earth level, this is already something to be extremely proud of.

  Those warriors found that someone was actually holding a torch and walking out of the ancient ruins, and they were all suddenly surprised and suspicious.

  Qin Lichao was right. When the royal high-level masters besieged Heishui Kuiniu, many people were hiding in different directions, closely watching this battle.

  A heavenly-level powerhouse wanting to avoid that group of mysterious and earthly royal warriors and enter the Phoenix Lake is not a particularly difficult task.

  In fact, those Dusty Cold and other royal heavenly-level powerhouses also knew in their hearts, but relying on their numerical superiority, they didn't quite put other heavenly-level masters in their eyes.

  Even if they take away a piece of cake, the largest one is still the royal family's!

  But now, that confidence has decreased a lot. The reason is simple: seventeen top-notch masters were lightly injured three, severely injured four, and one died because of a single heavenly-level spirit beast!

  The three lightly injured ones won't recover to their peak state in less than two months. As for the four seriously injured ones, being able to keep their lives is already a blessing! Even if they recover, don't think about making any progress in cultivation again!

  This day was also known as a black day in the royal annals of later ages!

  The dust settled, and seven wounded and one dead were sent away. Here, only nine of the imperial family's top-notch strongmen remained. Fifty earth-level warriors, although also a huge force, could not play a significant role in this situation.

  So when there was a commotion at the ancient ruins, Chen Yihan finally learned to be precise and restrained himself from going over to investigate.

  As expected, those top-notch warriors from all over the place couldn't help themselves after seeing that the royal side wasn't making a move. Half an hour later, they flew towards that direction one by one.

  Before long, Chen Yihan heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from that side, and couldn't help but smile coldly, thinking to himself: As expected, they're a group of useless masters, and they've already started fighting before even getting any benefits.

  They gradually found that something was wrong because some top-level warriors began to escape from there!

  At first, according to the statistics of Dusty and others, there were more than a dozen heavenly-level warriors who entered. However, after intense fighting for a while, seven or eight people actually ran out!

  In other words, the battles that took place inside might not have been between top-level warriors at all!

  Thinking of this, Chen Yihan led a group of royal heavenly-level warriors to fly to the ruins, just in time to catch up with a heavenly-level expert who rushed out of the inside with a look of horror on his face. Seeing a large crowd standing outside, he said with a lingering fear: "Don't go in, there...there are ghosts inside!"

  "Ghost?"

  Dust and coldness were stunned, the person behind Dust and Cold couldn't help but laugh: "Friends are also top-level strongmen, must be a dignified figure, how can they say such nonsense? Even if there really are ghosts in this world, dare to approach a top-level warrior with solidified yuan force?"

  Who would have thought that this seemingly over a hundred years old elder's face suddenly turned bright red, fiercely glared with his eyes, and abruptly emitted an astonishing aura from his entire body? Dusty Cold was shocked, and immediately raised his own aura to match the elder's, barely managing to fight him to a draw. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "You're also at the 9th rank?"

  The old man sneered, "Nonsense! Those who weren't 9th rank inside are all dead! If I wasn't 9th rank, how could I have escaped? I'm kindly warning you, but you're ridiculing me instead. Hmph, never mind, your royal family has always been arrogant, if you want to send yourselves to death, go ahead, I won't join you!"

  Wait...

  The old man hadn't even finished speaking before he suddenly sprang up, his body like a large bird, merging into the night and disappearing quickly.

  Dust glared at the person who had just spoken, sighed and said: "I was going to ask what happened inside, but you scared me off. Unbelievable!"

  At this time, several shrill cries suddenly came from inside, followed by a massive surge of yuan force fluctuations.

  "Not good!" Dusty's eyes widened in alarm as he bellowed, "Quickly hide, he's going to self-destruct!"

  Just as the nine people flew into the air, a deafening loud noise came from below. The roof of the large temple that was originally exposed to the water surface for tens of meters, the smooth and hard marble slab first sank heavily downwards, then suddenly burst open!

  The ground cracked and the mountain collapsed, with countless pieces of rock flying towards the sky. The massive energy caused the entire ancient building complex to shake violently, triggering a chain reaction that formed huge waves several meters high in Phoenix Lake, which crashed heavily against the shore!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Dust and coldness, etc. rushed to attack the giant stone that was rushing towards them. After a fierce smoke and dust, a huge, dark cave appeared below, like a terrifying monster with its mouth wide open waiting for prey to be delivered...

  Strand after strand of ownerless spiritual energy floated up through the large hole, quickly dispersing into the air, apparently belonging to that self-destructed warrior.

  "We're... going down!" Dusty Hahn hesitated for just a moment before making his decision.

  This time, they suffered heavy casualties and lost the prey to the shape-shifting beast. They were so angry that they didn't dare speak out. If they returned to the palace empty-handed, what face would they have left to meet the emperor? What could they say then? That they were too incompetent?

  Nine figures jumped into the black hole one after another.

  Almost at the same time, around Phoenix Lake, on Phoenix Mountain, there were dozens of figures flashing towards the ancient temple in the center of the lake like lightning!

  Obviously, many powerful masters think that the opportunity has come.

  ……

  At this time, Ah Hu and Bu Yunyan had already dealt with the black water buffalo, and the remaining three people roasted and ate some of its meat, packing a lot into their backpacks. The flesh of a top-grade spiritual beast was definitely a super tonic!

  Bones are also top-grade medicinal materials!

  However, the Black Water Buffalo was too big and they couldn't possibly take it away completely. The series of changes that occurred in the middle of the lake gave the three a feeling of being overwhelmed, and Buxiaoyan's face showed some worry as he said, "Will Qin Li be okay?"

  Although Ping Su usually likes to make fun of Qin Li, in his heart, he has long regarded him as his own younger brother and is convinced that this young man will have a future, but unexpectedly loses a good partner.

  Ling Yao's gaze condensed slightly as she looked at the lake, her expression firm as she said: "I believe he won't get into trouble, but I think it's best if we retreat back to the top of the mountain. There are more and more people coming here, and once someone discovers us, the Heavenly Spirit Beast's inner dan, we definitely won't be able to keep it!"

  Ah Hu nodded in agreement with Leng Yao and Bu Yunyan's words, then used the large knife in his hand to dig a 7-8 meter deep pit in the forest, burying Hei Shui Kuiniu's corpse within. He said: "It's so deep, it won't rot for one or two months, if we have the chance, we'll come back and take it away!"

  Ling Yao and Bu Yunyan also understood the value of Hei Shui Kui Niu, they nodded silently. As hunters, it was natural for them not to feel any pity for their prey. Besides, it wasn't them who killed it...

  ……

  Qin Li only felt the ground sway slightly, furrowed his brow, and continued to read on. He wasn't mistaken; this article was indeed a note from the builder of this massive ancient city, a stunningly beautiful and extraordinary being of great power!

  From this, Qin Li saw many things he wanted to know about, and also learned the origin of this great city and the reason for its downfall. Also, various things about the Unique Supreme War Technique.

  After finishing reading, Qin Li's heart was surging with emotions, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He carefully put the book away, and all that was left in his mind about this predecessor was: Too powerful!

  Suddenly I had a feeling of being both amused and indignant. A book that was supposed to be the ultimate technique for dominating the world, actually manipulated everyone in the palm of its hand!

  At the same time, Qin Li was deeply moved by this ancient powerful being's foolish devotion.

  "Even if I were to overturn the entire world, it would be impossible to bring you back. What's the point of living on? This city was built for you; now that you're gone, let it be buried with you!"

  This is the first sentence of that notebook, or rather, diary!
