Chapter 548 (2/2)
With the senses of Nether Soul Domain, Xiang Shaoyun was able to clarify the situations ahead of them in advance. That granted him an advantage over many of the test partic.i.p.ants. In this manner, the group traveled for three days straight.
Over the three days, they had suffered numerous demonic beast attacks as well, but they had encountered a relatively smaller number of demonic beasts. Moreover, they had not encountered a single Demon Emperor. Thus, they were able to take the lead among all the test partic.i.p.ants. To be precise, they were among the fastest, even if they weren't the fastest.
That day, they had arrived at a certain lake. They had not discovered anything around them, but the silence had caused them to be extremely tense.
After all, this was a mountain range filled with beasts. For this place to be in such tranquility, it could only mean that a powerful fellow was hidden. And that was actually a powerful fellow Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even detect. It gave him a bad feeling.
”Look, there are seven golden lotuses here,” exclaimed Ning Wenhuang as she pointed at the middle of the lake.
The seven golden lotuses flickered with gold radiance, looking incredibly conspicuous. They also emanated a certain fragrance that filled the lake's periphery.
”Emperor medicine! These are definitely emperor medicines! They are treasures!” Tang Longfei exclaimed joyfully.
Although he had seen a fair share of treasures at the Bloodsin City he came from, personally discovering these treasures in the wild still brought him more excitement. More importantly, these golden lotuses were a match for the power he cultivated. They would greatly help him enter the Dragon Ascension Realm. In his excitement, he impatiently charged toward the lake. It was at that moment that the surface of the lake started rippling, and a ma.s.sive head rose from it.
”Roar!”
A dreadful roar sounded and reverberated throughout the area. The demonic beasts in the vicinity quickly fled in panic. Tang Longfei suffered the direct impact of the roar and was jolted back. He coughed blood, and Xiang Shaoyun quickly rushed ahead and caught Tang Longfei before rapidly retreating.
”Leave immediately!” Xiang Shaoyun shouted at the women behind him.
The ma.s.sive head that had come out of the lake was actually the head of a turtle. A pair of sinister eyes could be seen on its head, eyes that could strike fear in anyone's heart. It was most definitely a late-stage Demon Emperor turtle. Otherwise, its head wouldn't be that big, and it wouldn't be so dreadfully powerful.
Lady Shura, Ning Wenhuang, and the others quickly flew away. Unfortunately, the turtle emperor had been angered. It opened its mouth and attacked, spitting water at them. The water bullet was akin to a ma.s.sive waterfall cras.h.i.+ng down from the heavens, bringing with it a destructive might that these War Emperors would have no way of resisting.
With zero hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun tossed Tang Longfei to the side and released his Nether Soul Domain, enveloping everything in the area. The instant the Nether Soul Domain was released, its chains destroyed the water bullet.
At the same time, several chains whipped at the turtle emperor. Feeling threatened, the turtle quickly tried withdrawing into the lake. Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to grab the seven lotuses before quickly fleeing with his companions.
