866 Chapter 866: LORD"s Awakening (2)
Wen Xiang heaved a deep breath of relief when he saw that horned figure not being able to enter the cave. But thinking for a moment, his mood became worse once again. Although the horned figure is unable to enter the cave and was trapped outside because of the barrier, this place might not be safe.
After all, even the peak Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist like the horned figure was unable to break the barrier. Moreover, he had never seen or heard of a place like this. And when he thought about the mountain where this cave is located, he felt very strange. Now that he carefully observed the surroundings by releasing his spiritual sense, he was shocked to feel a great amount of Spirit Energy from the entire cave. In fact, it seemed as if this entire mountain was filled with dense spirit energy.
‘Could it be that this is one of the meteorites that fell from the sky?’
Wen Xiang thought in his heart and was stunned when because of his own thought. If what he is thinking is really the truth, then this place is extraordinary. No one was able to locate the meteorite after it fell from the sky. He is the first one to not only discover it but also enter inside it by mistake.
‘What is this place exactly?’ Wen Xiang thought in his heart. His curiosity was increasing about this place now.
“He’s so fierce.” Xiao Ling looked at the horned figure who is just a barrier away from them and yet was forbidden from entering.
“Don’t worry, he just looks a little bit more ferocious. He won’t be able to threaten us if he can’t come in.” Wen Xiang shook his head and comforted her.
The strength of this barrier was extremely terrifying. Wen Xiang guessed that even if the horned figure could really blast it open, it would require them to spend a month of non-stop bombardment, which was not a threat to them at all. Moreover, the horned figure has already stopped attacking the barrier and had distanced himself from it for some reason. This caused Wen Xiang to increase his vigilance.
However, since the horned figure was still outside, they had no other choice. He thought of exploring the inside of this meteorite. After discussing with Xiao Ling, both of them first sat down to rest for a short while and recover their energy. About three hours later, both of them stood up and began to explore and check the place.
‘Fools. You have already entered the den of a devil. You will soon awaken LORD. I’ll not wait for you any longer!’
When the horned figure saw Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling entering, he sneered in his heart and left.
On the other hand, Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling headed toward the inner parts of the cave to explore this unknown domain.
The two of them stood up and walked towards the depths. After walking for around thirty minutes, Wen Xiang seemed to have a bad feeling about this, but at the same time, he had an unspeakable feeling.
“There seems to be something unusual in the air. Did you sense it?” Wen Xiang said hesitantly.
Hearing Wen Xiang’s question, Xiao Ling was also stunned. She immediately shook her head and said: “You’re overthinking it, I don’t feel anything abnormal.” pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
Hearing that, Wen Xiang no longer bothered and placed the matter down, “Maybe I’m really overthinking it.”
With that, Wen Xiang followed her to the depth of the cave. They discovered a coffin which was placed in the center, and outside of the coffin, there was a Spirit Gathering Array, as if it was protecting the corpse inside.
This formation was extremely vast, covering almost half of the entire palace hall. It was extremely broad and boundless, causing those who saw it to sigh in amazement.
“I’m afraid… It is a location where someone’s corpse is stored.” Wen Xiang’s throat was a little dry as this bold idea rose in his mind.
Hearing that, Xiao Ling’s beautiful eyes stared widely. After asking Wen Xiang if he has any idea what this place is, she was shocked. She never thought that the two of them would actually unknowingly not only discover the meteorite but also enter a cave in this meteorite.
“Ka!” Crack! “Crack!”
The two of them studied the coffin for a while but found nothing. Just as they shook their heads and were about to walk down from the coffin, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from within the coffin. It was as if there was something inside that gradually woke up after ten thousand years of sleep. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
paɴᴅᴀ ɴ<0,>ᴠ,ᴇʟ When he heard this sound, Wen Xiang’s heart suddenly throbbed, and he hurriedly pulled Xiao Ling’s hand, retreating explosively at the first possible moment.
“Be careful, something does not seem normal.” Wen Xiang took Xiao Ling and retreated to a safe distance before opening his mouth to speak seriously. At the same time, his eyes stared fixedly at the coffin, afraid that there would be some kind of change.
At this point, no matter how slow Xiao Ling was, she could tell that something was amiss. Her voice trembled a little, “Why is the coffin moving?
Hearing this, Wen Xiang also shook his head. He also had no idea why the coffin is moving. But it seems that the person inside the coffin is not dead, and maybe, he is the owner of this meteorite that somehow ended up falling in the Azure Sky Continent.
But before Wen Xiang could think too much, the coffin in front of him started to shake violently, as if something was about to directly break out of the coffin. This made the two of them hold onto each other’s hands tightly, ready to fight.
Just as the two of them were staring intently at the coffin, the coffin suddenly stopped moving. However, in that instant, the lid of the coffin was pushed open from the inside!
In the next moment, a pale dried up, and a bloodless hand reached out and touched the coffin.
It was as if his hands had gone through countless years of erosion and cleansing. His life force had long since disappeared, and there was not even a trace of a living person.
Seeing this scene, both of their eyelids jumped, becoming more and more nervous.
As their gazes shifted, the thing inside the coffin finally crawled out. It was a person, but there was no aura of a living person, only a monstrous aura and killing intent, as if he was born to be a killing machine.
“This is… Who is he? Is he not dead?” Xiao Ling’s face immediately became deathly pale, for she was terrified when she witnessed this scene. She had never seen something like this before.
But Wen Xiang, after a short observation, shook his head. He said: “He’s dead, he’s been dead for many years.”
Wen Xiang had already speculated a little in his heart and was completely confident in his guess.
At this time, the corpse seemed to be more like a Puppet that had been refined into a killing machine.
The question here is, does this corpse has his own free will?
This was what Wen Xiang was most concerned about, if not, the two of them would be in big danger and it would be hard for them to escape.
“Ka, Ka, Ka!”
After crawling out of the coffin, the corpse walked toward Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling. His body was a little stiff, as though he had been sealed for a long period of time, causing his movements to be unstable, but Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling were still extremely nervous.
It is because they could sense the aura on this corpse’s body. It seemed to be comparable to a Martial Saint Realm martial artist. If he went crazy, his one fist would be enough to kill him and Xiao Ling.
Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling continued to retreat. Their eyes were filled with caution as they were looking at the ferocious Puppet.
However, when Wen Xiang observed the body of the corpse closely, his eyes flashed with a strange light.
He realized that the corpse did not seem to have any consciousness. It seemed to have only one mission engraved in its mind. It is as if its existence was meant to kill all those intruders who enter this place.
This discovery made Wen Xiang’s heart jump, and even his breathing became rapid. He immediately thought of what his Grandfather had told him about puppets and their strength, and a way to subdue an ownerless Puppet.
If he really succeeded in subduing this puppet, then he would have a trump card of a Martial Saint Realm level to protect him. At that time, even if he went out, he wouldn’t have to fear the horned figure. This puppet could deal with that horned figure easily and clear his way out.
