Chapter 99: Entering the Main Hall, The Crimson Pool

  Xu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted! This red-haired beast, in terms of physical strength, was at the Xuanzong level, and its blood-red energy was no less powerful than that of a top-notch Xuan Shi master.

  Xu Yang was able to entangle with it for a long time and frequently inflict injuries on the monster, mainly because the monster's intelligence was not high, and it did not understand the mysteries of the universe, so it could not exert its strongest power.

  The monster is now fighting for its life, launching a total of eight mysterious attacks! Although it's not very skilled at using them, this is after all one of Xuyang's proud killing moves, and its power should not be underestimated!

  Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang's entire body emitted a dark yellow glow.

  Earth's Extreme Power, Full Force Activation, Ancient Copper Body!

  Xu Yang's face was like copper and iron casting, with a metallic luster, his facial expression solidified, and he punched the ground!

  Seven layers of earth barriers burst out from the ground with a loud crash.

  Four bloody palm prints, after piercing through seven layers of earthen walls, finally exhausted and dissipated into the air, bursting out with large clusters of bloody energy. Just from this point alone, it can be seen that the red-haired monster's control over its strength is indeed very poor, resulting in a huge waste.

  Facing the remaining four sword auras, Xu Yang let out a sigh, crossed his arms to protect his head and face, then let out a muffled roar as his body burst forth with a brilliant yellow light.

  He wants to use 【Ancient Bronze Body】's tenacity to forcefully withstand four consecutive hits of 【Phantom Linked Kill】!

  The sound of chiaki did not stop, four blood-red sword auras merged into a frenzy, suddenly combined, like a radiant cherry blossom rain, enveloping Xu Yang's figure.

  The red-haired monster panted heavily, this combination of Flame Giant Seal and Phantom Link Kill was its last-ditch effort, now its skin was almost completely gone, leaving only a white skeleton and the large tendons and muscles connected to it, extremely terrifying.

  After a while, the crimson sword energy finally dissipated.

  Xu Yang was half-kneeling on the ground, and around him, the bluestone floor of the grand hall had countless tiny scratches. Xu Yang's blue shirt had become a tattered beggar's garment, and his skin, which shone with an ancient copper color, had countless small wounds, all oozing out fresh blood.

  "Huff...huff..." Xu Yang panted heavily, lifting his head. Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, and all he could see was a sea of red.

  "Luckily, this move 'Phantom Linked Kill' is a scattered attack of thousands of sword energies, that monster only got its shape but not the essence, and doesn't know how to condense the sword energy to attack at one point! If it had learned 'One Breath Severing Gold Kill' or 'Breaking Air Fierce Edge Kill' and other condensed attacking ultimate skills, I would have been in real trouble."

  Attacked by thousands of tiny sword auras, yet in an invisible way, Xu Yang's [Ancient Copper Body] played its maximum defensive role. Now, although Xu Yang looks miserable on the outside, he is actually not seriously injured.

  Gritting his teeth, Xu Yang grasped the Longsuo Sword tightly and strode towards the red-haired monster.

  Before Xu Yang could attack, the red-haired monster let out a muffled roar and fell to the ground, sending up a large cloud of dust.

  On the Red-Haired Monster's body, hundreds and thousands of blood-colored threads suddenly burst out and attached themselves to Xu Yang.

  "It seems that this monster is really dead," Xǔ Yáng thought to himself, "What a lucky break. This monster was not in its prime state and was very weak. Otherwise, I would have been in grave danger."

  Xu Yang walked out of the grand hall, where Peng Yaozong and three others' corpses were placed together.

  The method of extracting the mysterious energy, the Zhēn Xuán Tower in Xīng Hǎi vibrated with a humming sound. The four corpses quickly withered and turned into bone powder. A faint gray airflow was absorbed by Xǔ Yáng, flowing through the various meridians.

  In just two or three breaths, Xu Yang had sucked in the gray airflow and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. The injuries on his body had all healed, and his spiritual power was full, even surpassing before.

  "After a series of battles, my cultivation has made another breakthrough," Xu Yang sensed his own body, "The eight mysterious wheels of the Star Sea are sturdy and solid, already close to the late stage of a Xuan Shi."

  Those who cultivate at a lower level of boundary will progress quickly at first, but as they go further, their progress will become increasingly difficult.

  Xu Yang's vital energy was full again, and he returned to the grand hall once more. He pulled out a shriveled-up fat ball from his bosom.

  "He barely managed to withstand the four moves of Phantom Link Kill, I wonder how he's doing," Xun Yang said with some concern, then irresponsibly added, "After all, it's a spiritual beast cub, it shouldn't be so useless, can't even handle a low-level mystic technique."

  As soon as the words fell, the fat ball that had shrunk into a ball and pretended to be dead immediately opened its small eyes, and its four short legs kicked wildly, apparently making a serious protest against Xu Yang's irresponsible remark.

  Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh, feeling relieved, and placed the fat ball in front of a formation pattern he had detected.

  Fatty opened his big mouth, gurgled and sucked in, instantly a faint red energy surged out of the array pattern, like drinking noodles, it went into his belly.

  "If I didn't have the Fat Ball, I would have to analyze the formation patterns and calculate how to draw the breaking pattern of the array, it would take a long time to break through," Xu Yang said with some emotion. "This place is a relic of the Barbarian Era, I am not familiar with the formation patterns, and it may be difficult for me to decipher the formation for my whole life."

  Without energy support, the formation covering the main hall quickly collapsed.

  The scenery in the great hall changed rapidly, and the golden statue on the main seat suddenly turned around, revealing a corner door behind it.

  Xu Yang investigated and pushed open the door, suddenly startling him.

  Before me lies a vast and empty space, with several iron chains hanging in mid-air, below which is a pool of blood-red liquid, as if it were filled with fresh blood.

  "Judging from the location, this should be the interior of the second heavy temple, which is the main hall," Xǔ Yáng crouched down to observe the crimson pool inside the scarlet **.

  Deep red in color, it gives a sense of lightness and floating, rather than being truly liquid.

  The fat ball changed its usual laziness, and its two small eyes shone with a keen light, as if it was very interested in this blood pool. It swung its small paws and jumped down from Xu Yang's shoulder, about to pounce on the blood pool.

  Xu Yang grasped the tail of the fat ball in mid-air, lifted it up and held it in front of him, scolding: "Hey, do you know what's inside here? How dare you jump in? What if there's danger?"

  Fatty's face was innocent, standing upside down looking at Xu Yang, his four short legs kicked wildly, showing an impatient look.

  Xu Yang thought for a moment, since raising Fei Qiu, this little thing had always been inclined to avoid danger and only woke up when there was something good to be gained. When faced with danger, it would definitely hide at the first opportunity, so it shouldn't be suicidal.

  Xu Yang gently tossed the fat ball into the pool and sighed: "Good luck."

  The fat ball's four limbs thrashed about in mid-air, before landing in the blood pool with a most ungraceful posture.

  However, with the entry of the fat ball, the blood pool immediately lost its calmness, constantly bubbling and churning out air bubbles. The red water in the pool slowly descended at a visible speed to the naked eye.

  "Isn't that right? Did Fat Ball drink up the pool water?!" Xu Yang looked at the huge blood pool, which was nearly ten zhang in both length and width, and then thought of Fat Ball's fist-sized body, it was really hard to believe. In the end, he could only attribute this strange event to Fat Ball's identity as a spiritual beast.
