On the surface, the ancient tree looked the same as the other trees. There was no difference at all.
However, the trees around it were arranged in a peculiar formation. In other words, Xing Jue was only able to determine that the tree was the entrance to the passage through the trees around it. However, only those who had the blueprint would be able to recognize the formation.
Xing Jue slowly came to the front of the huge ancient tree and gently pressed his palm on the surface of the tree. As a strand of Spiritual Strength poured in, the tree began to emit a series of rumbling sounds.
* hum *
Following a clear sound, the surface of the tree started to blur. Then, a spirit formation gate appeared.
"It's truly well-hidden. No wonder no one can decipher the Forest of Death's secret."
After the spirit formation gate appeared, Xing Jue sighed in admiration.
After knowing that the tree was the entrance to the secret passage, Xing Jue used his Soul power to inspect the tree. However, to Xing Jue's surprise, he was unable to discover anything special about the tree.
Then, Xing Jue took a large step forward and stepped into the spirit formation gate. As Xing Jue entered, the spirit formation gate disappeared, and the tree returned to its original appearance.
"This, this isn't a passage at all. It should be a deep hall, right?"
After entering the passage, Xing Jue was completely astonished by the scene before him. He discovered that this passage was completely different from the ones he had entered in the past. It wasn't narrow. Instead, it was like a spacious hall. However, there was no end to the hall. It extended all the way in.
The two sides of the hall were also engraved with images of various Demonic Beasts. Furthermore, there were extremely resplendent stones of light embedded in the walls. The powerful light emitted by the stones of light illuminated the entire hall.
After sighing at the generosity of the seniors of the Spirit Eater Clan, Xing Jue began to rush forward. After all, Xing Jue wanted to reach the Spiritual Chamber as soon as possible. Therefore, he had raised his speed to the limit.
However, as he went deeper, Xing Jue realized that the structure of the passage was not simple at all. There was a passage that led to the top of the Forest of Death at regular intervals, and one could hear what was happening above from the passage.
The passageway was very long. It was so long that Xing Jue had not sensed the existence of the Secret Soul Chamber even after running for four hours. However, this also showed how vast the Forest of Death was.
"Rumble, rumble."
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz."
"Bang, rumble, bang."
Just as Xing Jue was running forward with all his might, a burst of ear-piercing rumbling sound came from the top of the Forest of Death. At this moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but stop and his facial expression became solemn.
This was because Xing Jue could hear from the rumbling sound that there were two parties fighting. Moreover, there were martial skills involved in the battle. This meant that someone had actually intruded into the Forest of Death.
Moreover, Xing Jue's current location was the deepest part of the Forest of Death. In other words, the area above Xing Jue was filled with Emperor rank Demonic Beasts. This also meant that the person was fighting with the Emperor rank Demonic Beasts in the deepest part of the Forest of Death.
"Buzz."
After sensing the situation, Xing Jue suddenly stopped moving. At the same time, he extended his soul force into the Forest of Death. He wanted to find out what kind of person dared to intrude into this place.
"Intermediate Combat Emperor?"
"A woman?"
"She's actually such a young woman."
As Xing Jue probed with his soul force, the strength, gender, and even age of the mysterious expert were all clearly identified by Xing Jue.
However, what made Xing Jue a little surprised was that the mysterious expert was actually a woman. Moreover, she was a young woman. In terms of age, she was only a few years older than him. Xing Jue was really surprised that she was able to reach such a level of strength at such a young age.
"Sigh, this Towering Sky Region is really the cradle of geniuses."
After being surprised, Xing Jue sighed helplessly. Then, he once again dashed toward the depths of the palace.
This time, after running at top speed for less than half an hour, Xing Jue sensed that he had reached the end of the palace. As expected, after running at top speed for a moment, an extremely vast gate appeared in front of Xing Jue.
This gate was thousands of meters tall. The surface of the rock was carved with an extremely strange symbol. It looked like a devil beast, but it wasn't complete. Overall, it felt more like the shape of a devil beast that was condensed from a soul.
Xing Jue's intuition told him that behind this huge palace door was the Secret Soul Chamber.
At this moment, Xing Jue was a little excited because this was, after all, the inheritance of the Soul Eater Race. As a member of the Soul Eater Race, it was an extremely exciting thing for him to be able to see the inheritance of his race.
After calming his emotions, Xing Jue first pressed his hand on the gate. This time, Xing Jue could faintly feel the airflow of the boundary inside the gate. Moreover, the strength of the boundary was extremely strong. He was afraid that even a Combat Emperor expert wouldn't be able to break it.
Moreover, this boundary could obstruct soul force, so Xing Jue couldn't check the situation inside the Soul Chamber.
"Buzz"
After his fruitless check, Xing Jue slowly took a few steps back. Then, he waved his sleeve. Following the appearance of a ray of light, an elderly figure appeared.
"You're here so quickly. You're really efficient."
After the elderly figure appeared, he discovered the familiar gate before him. Then, he couldn't help but cast a praising gaze at Xing Jue.
"Old Cang, is there any way to check the situation inside the Soul Chamber?" After the elderly figure appeared, Xing Jue curiously asked.
"No. Therefore, we can only know if there are any changes in the Soul Chamber after we open it." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the elderly figure helplessly shook his head.
After hearing the elderly figure's words, Xing Jue didn't hesitate. With a flick of his wrist, the Soul Devouring Token appeared in Xing Jue's hand.
Then, Xing Jue inserted his soul force into the Soul Devouring Token under the elderly figure's tightly locked gaze. Then, he pressed the Soul Devouring Token onto the gate.
"Buzz"
As the Soul Devouring Token was pressed onto the gate, a layer of faint green barrier appeared on the huge stone gate. After a brief moment of wiggling, the barrier disappeared.
"Bang"
Rumble! Rumble!
As the barrier disappeared, the huge stone gate started to slowly open under Xing Jue's and the elderly figure's tightly locked gazes. At this moment, Xing Jue adjusted his soul force to its peak to check the situation inside the Soul Chamber.
"Old Cang, quickly retreat."
At this moment, Xing Jue's pupils suddenly widened. At the same time, his face instantly turned pale. Then, he hurriedly hugged the elderly figure and swiftly retreated.
Because at this moment, Xing Jue sensed a terrifying existence. It was a Magical Beast, a Middle Level Monarch Beast. Furthermore, that wasn't all that Xing Jue sensed. There was also darkness, a boundless dark energy that made Xing Jue feel fear.
"Roar ~ ~ ~"
Just when Xing Jue discovered this unforeseen event, a thunderous roar rang out from within the stone door. Thereafter, a huge figure flashed out from within the stone door.
"This … Is this a Magical Beast?"
When the huge figure flew out from the Soul Chamber, Xing Jue finally saw the appearance of the Magical Beast. The appearance of the Magical Beast shocked Xing Jue even more.
It was a huge Magical Beast that was over a hundred feet long. However, its appearance was extremely strange. Because it did not have any skin. Instead, its bloody muscles were directly exposed. Moreover, it had three heads, which were the appearances of a wolf, a snake, and a tiger.
What made Xing Jue uneasy was that the Magical Beast's body was emitting the same dark purple gas as the Magical Beasts outside. However, the gas on its body was denser and darker.
"It's the Ultimate Experimental Beast."
"Xing Jue, run!" At that moment, the Elder in Xing Jue's arms suddenly shouted at Xing Jue.
After hearing the Elder's words, Xing Jue did not hesitate. He turned around and rushed to the other side of the hall. At that moment, not only did Xing Jue cast the Wind Riding Technique to the extreme, but he also summoned the Soul Armor.
"Roar!"
However, just as Xing Jue was escaping, the strange Magical Beast began to chase after Xing Jue at an extremely fast speed. Its speed was extremely terrifying, so terrifying that even Xing Jue could not shake it off.
"Elder, what kind of Magical Beast is this? Why is it still chasing after me even after I hid my aura? "
At that moment, Xing Jue had used the Soul Devouring Order to completely hide his aura. Moreover, he had used his Soul Energy to open up a passage that led to the top of the Forest of Death. However, the Magical Beast was still following Xing Jue like a shadow.
"It's an Ultimate Experimental Beast, and it has already evolved into an Ultimate Body."
"In the Secret Soul Room, there were originally three Primary Monarch Rank Experimental Beasts. They were the Feathered Wolf, the Blood Serpent, and the Cloud Tiger."
"The Magical Beast before you is a fusion of the three Primary Monarch Rank Magical Beasts. In other words, one of the Magical Beasts devoured the power of the other two Magical Beasts to reach the Intermediate Monarch Rank." Hearing Xing Jue's question, the Elder explained to Xing Jue in detail.
"Devouring other Magical Beasts and transforming them into its own power? Isn't … isn't that a little too terrifying? "Hearing the Elder's words, Xing Jue couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that compared to Magical Beasts, this Experimental Beast is more interested in humans. Moreover, it's extremely sensitive to the scent of humans. In other words, no matter how you hide your aura, you won't be able to escape from it." The Elder continued to explain.
"What? Tracking the scent of humans? "
Hearing that, Xing Jue gasped. However, at the same time, Xing Jue's eyes lit up because he had thought of a way to deal with it.
