Chapter 533: Many-legged Beast

As she walked along the icy-cold cavern passage, Jing Qiu could not help but blurt out, "Xue Ying, were we not too blind by taking this trip inside the ruins of Lake Heart Island? Our bat power is quite a bit weaker than the norm, and we even entered through a lesser-known cavern that not many cultivators use. Our panions, Armadillo Jade and Fu Qiong, have both already died, and had it not been for Monarch Armadillo Jade's aid, we would not have even managed to get to this point."
"I understand your concern, but we've already e so far, so there's no point in overthinking it." Xue Ying waved his hand to store the treasures and weapons left behind by Monarch Armadillo Jade, and continued speaking, "Both of us have long since prepared ourselves, mentally speaking. Both Brother Armadillo Jade and Brother Fu Qiong were prepared to die ever since they entered. Furthermore, if we refused to enter through this desolate cavern tunnel, did we even have the choice to take a safer route? The Nine Yang Palace Head is most likely paying close attention to such passages."
"Mn." Jing Qiu lightly nodded. "This place is relatively close to where father hid the true god weapon. I hope we can arrive there safely."
Xue Ying nodded.
Prior to his ing here, Xue Ying, as a stage three World Deity who cultivated the "Luminous Sun" absolute art to the third boundary and whose bat power would be seen as high even amongst stage four World Deities, was quite satisfied with himself. He was strong enough to be seen as an overlord-level figure in the vast Deity world! However, this trip saw him entering some of the most dangerous ruins in the entire Deity world. Only those with powerful existence-level bat power could feel relatively safe as long as they didn't leave the more ordinary regions.
As soon as they arrived, the two had stumbled across Emperor Heavencloud corpse. Afterwards, as they proceeded through the cavern, they had been attacked time and time again. It was mostly Monarch Armadillo Jade who had held the team together during that time! All of these experiences left Xue Ying feeling truly inadequate, and gave him a clearer sense of the fact that his power left him still in the lower rung, when pared to the true peak powers of the entire Deity world.
Even then, reaching that lowest level was still a source of pride! After all, this level meant his bat power was not insignificant. Even passing the initial layer of the silvery-white enormous sphere was incredibly difficult, after all.
"We're not far from our destination. Let's keep moving," Xue Ying said.
The two turned into streams of particles, flying at high speed through the rest of the cavern passage.
...
Roughly five million kilometers away from them, two black-armored creatures were currently resting in a narrow space inside the mountain. One was a black-armored flood dragon, the other a many-legged beast wearing a similar set of black armor.
"This time around, the team was quite weak. There was an expert who had an extremely powerful secret survival technique that was quite a bit harder to deal with, but the other three were all average," the many-legged creature muttered, its voice reverberating through the narrow space. "Two have already died, and the only ones remaining are the two weakest ones. Big brother, what should we do? Should I go, or are you going to do it? If you decide to act, big brother, you would kill them so easily."
"Very few outsiders e in through that region, and it was only once a team enters that we finally wake up again." That flood dragon's golden eyes were looking in the distance. His vision seemed to pass through any obstacle, since he was looking straight at the couple currently fleeing through the tunnel. "Their luck must be pretty pitiful; they actually arrived at the Blazing Blood Door by accident. I feel like it must have frightened them greatly, and I'm starting to doubt that there will be more teams entering our passage in the future."
"The Blazing Blood Door… they might have discovered the strangeness of that place. Who knows, they might deliberately e back to investigate it after their bat power bees stronger," the many-legged beast said.
"That would also make sense." A glimmer of interest appeared in the flood dragon's eyes. "Since their bat power is so weak, you should be the one to go! Take your time and get rid of them, one after the other. At the very least, your bat power shouldn't leave them shaking in terror."
"Yes, big brother." The many-legged beast in black armor immediately left. Its ten legs stepping across the void, the creature smashed into the wall by its side before passing into it.
The black-armored flood dragon was just watching this happen.
In its eyes, Xue Ying and Jing Qiu were simply too weak. If it were the one to act instead, it would frighten Xue Ying and his wife too much.
"For them to enter Lake Heart Island with that bat power…" The flood dragon shook its head.

Xue Ying and his wife were flying along at high speed, albeit much slower than what Monarch Armadillo Jade could achieve. The many-legged beast wearing black armor was hiding in the dark, stealthily crossing the mountain to approach the couple. It wasn't long before it chased up to them, neither of the two having sensed anything. They could not be blamed for this; they were ultimately too tender.
While Xue Ying was merely a stage three World Deity at the moment, Jing Qiu herself had only just bee a stage four World Deity not too long ago. She could only depend on the remnant fragment of the"Heart Sword Diagram
