Chapter 3022 The Heavenly Fighting Skill (1/2)

Austin's attention was caught by a pool of blood on the ground.

It was thrumming with energy that seemed to be calling to him, so he released a wisp of his spiritual sense to check on it.

Bang!

To his utter surprise, his spiritual sense lit up in flames before it could even fully grasp the nature of the spilled blood.

The energy surrounding the blood had burnt his spiritual sense to ashes.

Now that piqued his interest even more.

He released another surge of his spiritual sense, this time at a more powerful level, and directed it towards the pool of blood.

Bang!

Another wave of energy blocked his spiritual sense, the clash of the forces sending him flying off his feet.

He landed hard on a corner, hitting the stone wall of the cave.

'What the hell!' For a moment, Austin felt a little helpless at being caught off guard. Twice now.

'It's just a pool of blood. I can't believe it managed to knock me off my feet!'

If nothing else, it only supported his presumption that the broken corpses that lay in front of him must have belonged to very powerful beings.

If the blood they left behind held such a potent energy, even masters of the Divine Realm probably wouldn't stand a chance against these dead warriors.

”These bodies must have belonged to the ancient divine gods!” he murmured to himself.

He became surer of it at every moment that passed.

He had further questions, of course, but right there and then, he could come up with no other reasonable explanation.

What other being could have possibly been more powerful than an ancient divine god?

He braced himself for the task at hand.

He tried various ways to control and absorb the energy contained by the blood, but failed each time. Pretty soon he found himself covered in bruises.

He was exhausted, but still no closer to penetrating the energy barrier of the leftover blood. All he could show for his efforts was a fatal accident where a broken Divine Ruling Chain flew out from one of the corpses and cut Austin's body in half.

Fortunately for him, he had learned the Phoenix Nirvana Skill. He hastily employed the technique and brought himself back from near death.

'Forget it.' He shook his head and dusted himself. 'There seems to be no way to absorb this energy.'

He turned around, intent on continuing on his journey and forgetting this disappointing episode.

He had taken only a few steps before he noticed another thing that made him pause.

”What?! Those are...” Around a crack in the space, countless dots of light were floating about, looking like dozens of fireflies.
