Inside the cave, Ling Xian's fist shot across the sky. Like the Sun, it exploded with unparalleled amount of energy!
This made the God of Gold look hopeless. His body couldn't help but tremble.
Originally, he thought that after becoming several times stronger, killing Ling Xian would be as easy as eating or drinking. But now, he finally realized that the man before him was not someone he could defend against!
Sadly, he realized this too late.
Ling Xian's punch was merciless and incomparable. It instantly pierced through the God of Gold's chest and slammed him into a mountain far away.
"AH!"
The God of Gold shrieked in pain. Half of his bones were broken and his red eyes were full of fear. However, he knew that he couldn't sit around and wait for death. Or else he would die.
Therefore, he exploded with all his strength. All the feathers on his body turned bright red as they howled towards Ling Xian. Every single one of them had the ability to pierce through space!
"I told you this move is useless. Even if you change your color, it is still useless."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The green umbrella floated above his head and shined down green light that blocked all the feathers.
At the same time, he called out to the giant gold seal that emitted an unparalleled amount of energy that could suppress all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
Retch!
After puking out a mouthful of fresh blood, the God of Gold wavered. He was pressed to the ground by the Qi and blood continued to drip.
"It's time to end this."
Ling Xian said emotionlessly. He slammed a fist into the ground and the Battle Immortal Bone and the Disorder Conquering Fists exploded. Immediately, the ground crumbled and rocks flew everywhere!
The God of Gold puked out blood as well. His heart was crushed.
Then, in a flash, Ling Xian reappeared before the God of Gold. However, he didn't make a move.
Because there was no longer a need.
His punch had crushed the God of Gold's heart. If it weren't for the fact that it was a pure-blooded noble kind and had been baptized by the pool of blood, it would've died a long time ago.
Ehem, ehem …
The God of Gold collapsed onto the ground. Its eyes were dim and lifeless, "I cannot believe I still lost in the end."
"I told you, the moment the winner is revealed, you will understand who the real ant is." Ling Xian spoke softly. His expression was calm and unwavering.
"Ants …"
The God of Gold felt anger and humiliation. In the end, he remained silent.
Of course he wasn't an ant. But before Ling Xian, he was no different than an ant.
This was an iron-clad fact that no one could deny!
Therefore, right now, his heart was full of bitterness and regret. But he knew that it was too late, too late.
He could feel his life force rapidly diminishing, and it wouldn't be long before he died.
"Enjoy your last moments." Ling Xian glared at the God of Gold and felt too lazy to talk to him.
"This feeling of waiting for death is not good. It's not what I want."
The God of Gold bitterly smiled. Then, he broke all the meridians in his body. The excruciating pain made him convulse. However, it only twitched twice before it completely calmed down.
Dead.
He was thoroughly dead. He did not choose to let his Nascent Soul leave his body. Because he knew that even if his soul left his body, he would not be able to escape Ling Xian's palm.
"This enmity ends here."
Looking at the dead God of Gold, Ling Xian shook his head. Then, he strode forward and walked straight towards the pool of blood.
The reason why the God of Gold was so powerful was because of this pool of blood. Therefore, he wanted to see just what kind of secrets were hidden inside.
However, the moment he got close to the pool of blood, he felt a wave of coldness that made his hair stand up.
"What an eerie pool of blood …"
Ling Xian frowned and used his Qi to scan the entire pool of blood. However, he found nothing. The only feeling he had was that it was eerie. Extremely eerie.
Just then, the pool of blood began to boil. The energy that filled the air made everyone shudder.
Then, Ling Xian heard a voice. A voice that was full of temptation.
"Come here, come here, I will give you strength …"
At once, Ling Xian's eyes became sluggish before they turned blood red. His legs subconsciously walked towards the pool of blood. Though it was slow, it was determined.
However, just as he was about to enter the pool of blood, a refreshing feeling flowed through his body and woke him up.
This was the power of the Shang Qing Technique.
"What an eerie pool of blood."
Ling Xian shuddered and sweat began to appear on his forehead. He knew that once he enters the pool of blood, his strength will increase exponentially.
But this wasn't a benefit, it was the beginning of a nightmare.
Once he enters the pool of blood, a seed will be planted inside his body. Even with the Shang Qing Technique and the Incantation of a Calm Heart, there is no guarantee that he won't turn demonic.
"If I'm not wrong, the God of Gold was tempted by the voice and entered the pool of blood. Then, he uncontrollably accepted the baptism of the pool and his strength increased exponentially. "
Ling Xian frowned, "But, once he accepts the baptism, he will turn into a monster that only knows how to kill."
Then, he rejoiced that he cultivated the Shang Qing Technique and saved him at a critical moment. Or else he would've fallen into the pool of blood by now.
"Come here, come here, I will give you strength …"
The eerie voice arose again. It was unknown where it came from and it was unknown who spoke it. Yet it was real and it appeared deep inside Ling Xian's heart.
Plus, this voice contained an alluring energy that was eerie and terrifying.
However, this time, Ling Xian wasn't tempted by the voice. He recited the Incantation of a Calm Heart and called out to the Shang Qing Technique. The two of them complemented each other and their powers increased exponentially.
Instantly, the voice disappeared from his heart and never appeared again.
However, Ling Xian didn't let his guard down because of this. He silently called out to the Indestructible Physique and carefully guarded.
"What is this eerie thing?"
Ling Xian frowned and summoned his enlivener in an attempt to find out the secret of the pool of blood. Sadly, in the end, he returned empty-handed and couldn't find anything strange.
Based on what he could sense, this was a pool of blood. Other than the fact that it could help a living being increase their strength, there was nothing suspicious about it.
And this was precisely the most suspicious part.
If there was no secret, why would it make such an alluring voice and control people's minds?
"Alluring voice, eerie pool of blood …"
Mumbling, Ling Xian thought of a possibility, and his expression changed. Then, he appeared before the God of Gold's corpse and his expression changed again.
Because on the left side of the God of Gold's chest, there was a bloody hole. There was no longer a heart inside.
Ling Xian remembered very clearly that he didn't pierce through the God of Gold's left chest and he didn't take out his heart.
In other words, the heart was nowhere to be seen.
This made him feel a chill, and he was even more certain that his guess was correct.
"Dammit, why did something like that reappear in the world?" Ling Xian cursed. His expression was so dark that it looked like water was about to drip out.
This was the first time he had this expression on his face. All because that thing was far too terrifying.
The alluring voice, the eerie pool of blood, and the missing heart. When the three clues connected, they formed a terrifying truth.
A truth that even Ling Xian shuddered at.
