796 Chapter 796: Lion-head Horned Octopus
“This world is deeply connected with the Ancient Samsara G.o.d. Although Ancient Samsara G.o.d’s body is now possessed by an Ancient Devil, his connection with this world is still so deep that nothing can interfere. In fact, the moment you’ll appear in front of the core of this world, either you’ll be forcefully thrown out by it just like what happened to us in the past or you’ll directly be killed by it.”
“In the past, three of us Ancient G.o.ds went to the core of this world but before we could arrive in front of it, we were heavily injured by the Will of this world that used the energy from the core to attack us. We couldn’t get near the Core of this World no matter how hard we tried.”
“Moreover, let’s say you managed to arrive in front of the core of this world, however, the moment you’ll try to refine the core, Ancient Samsara G.o.d sitting at some corner in the Divine Realm would immediately know someone is trying to steal his world. Do you think he’ll sit back quietly? He’ll immediately kill you.”
“So, it is better to think of something else and throw the idea of refining the core of this world to the back of your head. It is not feasible!”
Ancient Samsara G.o.d had been staying in this world for many eons, how could he never have the idea of refining the core of this world in his mind before?
In fact, a few people had already tried but before they could even go near the core of this world, they had been killed by some mysterious force. This alone was enough to let everyone know that they have to stop this course of action and think of another method. Refining the core of this world is an impossible idea that couldn’t be accomplished no matter what.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
However, Ye Xiao didn’t think so. In his opinion, everything is possible. Not to mention, he had a piece of Law Breaking Stone in his hand. If his idea didn’t work, he’ll simply use the Law Breaking Stone to break the connection between Ancient Samsara G.o.d and this world, and make this world his.
“Don’t worry about that, I’m confident I could accomplish what no one has been able to do till now. So, tell me the location of this world’s core!”
…..
About half a day later, Ye Xiao was standing in a deep cave. He was actually going to the core of this world. According to Ancient Earth G.o.d, he has to go down thousands of feet under the ground, and this cave was only one way to reach the core of this world. There are many floors in this cave and each floor was a level down.
Each floor was also filled with very strange demonic beasts that’ll try every means possible to stop him from reaching the world’s core. These demonic beasts are very terrifying, enough to even cause problems for G.o.ds and Ancient G.o.ds. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
Ye Xiao had already crossed three floors and had arrived at the fourth floor which was the middle level of this cave that went deep underground to an unknown level.
Currently, Ye Xiao was holding his breath, watching a few demonic beasts pa.s.s by his hiding spot, continuing to head towards the lower floors. He heard many noises created by these demonic beasts.
Only after coming to this underground cave did he understand how terrifying these demonic beasts actually are. He waited patiently, judging based on the scratching sounds demonic beasts emitted, and as the sounds continued to become fainter, he judged that they had left this floor.
“I only have time until they reach the top and fail to find me. After that, they’ll come down once again to look for me.” Thinking as such, he rushed out of his hiding place. His body was fully coated with the blood of those demonic beasts, masking his scent.
To make things work better, he sweated a lot and sprinkled it everywhere in the cave. He then used some wet gauze as a towel to wipe out all his sweat, erasing his scent. Wearing his clothes, he used the gauze as a paintbrush to coat the Arhkar blood neatly over his body. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
As he had enough free time, he carefully applied the blood, ensuring it didn’t get on his skin. He didn’t know if the blood was harmful to him or not, unwilling to take the chance.
He did all this because he was no match to these demonic beasts. If he is to fight against one or two demonic beasts, he could still hold them off, however, if the entire group is to attack him, he’ll have no place to hide and he’ll die. So, he was going through all this trouble.
Fortunately, Ancient Earth G.o.d had told him everything about these demonic beasts so he was prepared very well. Otherwise, he would have died the moment he stepped into this underground cave.
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ He then carried the demonic beast’s corpse that he had killed just after arriving down the fourth floor, and placed it on a big boulder in the middle that he had meticulously positioned quite close to the entrance of the fifth floor which was also the exit of the fourth floor. Then he hid on the other side of the boulder.
This way, he hid under plain sight, watching the demonic beasts enter the fourth floor and proceed high up. As there was only the smell of the demonic beast on the boulder, they didn’t bother with it, only observing their fallen brethren for a couple of seconds before proceeding forth.
Ye Xiao rushed out of the fourth floor in a hurry, his eyes long since adjusted to the dark environment. Not to mention, with his ability to control fire, there would be no problem for him to see his surroundings.
There were less than a hundred meters between him and his destination, the entrance of the fifth floor. It wasn’t long though, he only took 1 second to cross the entrance of the fifth floor at full speed.
After crossing the entrance, Ye Xiao saw a hollow in the ground. Without any hesitation, he jumped down, landing on a solid surface the next moment. Now, he had truly entered the fifth floor, 1 level down from the fourth floor. When Ye Xiao landed, he couldn’t help but curse for the bad luck in his heart. It turned out that the place he landed was already like a nest of all those demonic beasts. There were about twenty of them. It was like a small nest of these d.a.m.n demonic beasts.
These demonic beasts had the head of a lion and the body of an octopus. The absurd thing was that it also had a pair of horns in the shape of ‘c’, facing each other, making almost a circular hollow in the middle.
The most terrifying attack these demonic beasts could launch was shooting out a beam of light from the void s.p.a.ce between their horns like a laser beam. These beams could explode and destroy anything they touched.
Ye Xiao had to avoid these attacks because if he were to be touched by even a single speck of light separated from this light beam, his body would immediately explode for some reason. This caused him to avoid these demonic beasts instead of battling them.
And now, he was standing right in the middle of about 20 of these unknown demonic beasts. Looking at the horn on the lion’s head and its octopus body, Ye Xiao gave these demonic beasts a name: Lion-head Horned Octopus.
“Grrr! Grrr! Grrr!”
These Lion-head Horned Octopuses first stared at the intruder for some time and sniffed at him. Fortunately, Ye Xiao had been completed coated with their blood, making them confuse to think that he was one of them. But Ye Xiao was a human, and no matter how much he was coated with a different creature’s blood, he couldn’t completely remove or hide his own smell. Not to mention, Ye Xiao was like half the size of these beasts and he looked like these demonic beasts from nowhere.
Other than the blood of the Lion-head Horned Octopus, there was nothing on his body that can make Lion-head Horned Octopuses think that he is one of them.
Also, in the past, there had been times when many humans entered the cave, and they had already seen what a human looks like. It took them a while, but they did confirm that Ye Xiao is an intruder who had killed a few of their brothers and even dared to coat his body with their fellow member’s blood.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
For a moment, the entire fifth floor started echoing with loud roars of Lion-head Horned Octopuses, making intense noise. What is more, the entire cave was filled with darkness, already giving a creepy feeling to anyone who could enter. On top of these roars, it caused Ye Xiao to feel a chill run down his spine.
