It was indeed a humanoid creature with a height of two meters and a wingspan of four meters. It pounced on Ye Fan from the depths of the Ancient Mine.
Its sharp claws were like knives, shining with cold light. It went straight for Ye Fan's throat. At the same time, a strange wave came out of its mouth, making people's eardrums buzz.
Ye Fan raised the stone knife and stabbed it, cutting off the humanoid creature's path.
"Clang!"
The pair of sharp claws hit the stone knife, making the sound of metal and sparks.
"Didn't Mr. Zhang say that stone clothes can ward off evil spirits? Why did I provoke an unknown creature as soon as I came in?" Ye Fan was confused, but he was not afraid. He felt that this humanoid creature was not difficult to deal with.
"Swish!"
The humanoid creature spread its wings and soared into the sky. It gathered its strength again and pounced down again. This time, a bright light came out of its mouth and chopped down like a sharp knife.
Ye Fan put away the stone knife. This creature obviously had an innate magic. If he used the stone knife to kill it, it would definitely break.
"Chi, chi, chi …"
He opened his five fingers, and five beams of sword light rushed up like dazzling lightning, illuminating the pitch-black Ancient Mine.
"Clang!"
The light blade from the humanoid creature's mouth was broken, and the other four beams of sword light all chopped on its body.
"Puff!"
Blood splashed, and the humanoid creature was pierced. It flapped its wings fiercely, trying to escape to the depths of the Ancient Mine.
Ye Fan could not let it escape. He shouted lightly, and a wave of air rushed up to the sky, shaking it down directly.
He knew that this was definitely not a creature from the Primeval Age. Otherwise, it would not be so weak and far from the legend.
Ye Fan stepped forward, unfolded its wings, and revealed its real body to observe carefully.
This humanoid creature was two meters tall, covered with gray fur, and its wings were made of flesh. It looked like a giant humanoid bat.
"This is …"
Ye Fan thought of the records in the ancient books. This was a species that lived underground. It was called the Demon Bat, which was very rare and almost impossible to see.
Legend has it that after bats gained intelligence and became almighty beings, the descendants they gave birth to, after dozens or even hundreds of generations, their blood would gradually become diluted, and if they couldn't improve, they would degenerate into devil bats.
"According to the records in the ancient books, any place where the Demon Bat appears must be a place of great evil …" Ye Fan's heart trembled.
He didn't know if it was their nature, but it was said in the ancient books that this kind of rare underground creature lived at the edge of the danger zone.
"This is not a good sign!" Ye Fan muttered to himself. He thought that the purple mountain might have left behind the inheritance of an ancient Great Emperor, but now it seemed that it was hostile.
Ye Fan didn't waste any time and continued forward. After ten li, he encountered a huge problem. There were more than a hundred demonic bats, and he didn't show any mercy. If they dared to attack him, he would kill them with the golden book.
In the end, a giant demonic bat that was five meters long and had a wingspan of ten meters appeared and was smashed by his fist. Only then did the Ancient Mine quiet down.
After advancing for more than ten li, everything was silent. The Ancient Mine was pitch-black and very gloomy. He muttered to himself, "Did I enter the danger zone?"
Ye Fan advanced for another seven or eight li, neither fast nor slow. He advanced slowly and saw many stone carvings on the cave walls, which were left by the ancient people's knives and axes.
It was a very simple pattern that recorded all kinds of things that happened in the past. Ye Fan didn't feel bored, but he looked at it patiently.
At first, they were all very trivial things, but later on, there were many corpses in the carvings, and those people were all lying on the ground.
"Did the ancient people from hundreds of thousands of years ago want to leave something behind?"
The more Ye Fan looked, the more surprised he became. He felt that this was a story. In the end, these people dug out strange things, and more people died.
Later, a creature with a single horn between its eyebrows appeared, and it was dug out from the mine by the ancient people. Everyone was almost wiped out.
This person with a horn between his eyebrows had six arms and a pair of wings, and he looked down on the world. In the picture, he roared at the sky, the earth cracked, the mine collapsed, and underground magma spewed out.
Ye Fan sucked in a cold breath of air. Could this be a creature from the Divine Source? Its roar shook heaven and earth, this type of power truly made one tremble in fear. No wonder so many people died.
The later carvings were even more shocking. That horned humanoid creature actually knelt on the ground, kowtowing towards an enormous piece of Divine Source.
"Such a powerful creature is still trembling with fear, kowtowing to others?!" Ye Fan was greatly shaken.
He impatiently looked at the next carving, wishing to see what the creature inside the exceptional Divine Source looked like, to see how it could have this type of power.
In the following carving, the creature inside the exceptional Divine Source didn't appear, and it was still hazy.
Even though it didn't appear in the world, there were endless corpses in the surroundings. Countless people collapsed, extending into the distance.
"What exactly is inside that piece of Divine Source?" Ye Fan couldn't help but feel shocked.
It didn't even appear in the world, yet there was already endless slaughter. According to the carvings, the number of people who died was uncountable, at least in the tens of thousands.
In the next few carvings, the Divine Source was there, but no creature appeared. It only showed that there were more and more corpses around, piling up into mountains, and many of them were cultivators.
The blood converged into a real river, meandering into the distance, just like the underworld.
As for the creature with a horn on its forehead, six arms under its shoulders, and wings on its back, it knelt devoutly beside the Divine Source from beginning to end.
"Such a tragic thing happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. How many people died? According to the carvings, this land has clearly collapsed, so why does the ancient mine still exist? "
Ye Fan originally came to find the Book of Origin, but now he was deeply attracted by the carvings in the ancient mine.
In the following carvings, the exceptional Divine Source was still very hazy, and no creature appeared, only human corpses piling up.
And the humanoid creature kneeling in front of the Divine Source didn't make a move, and it kept kowtowing.
"The creature in this Divine Source was most likely a Terror level existence before the Primeval Age …"
Ye Fan couldn't help but be shocked. He continued to look, and the creature still didn't walk out of the Divine Source, but there were more and more corpses of cultivators around it, and blood dyed the ground red.
In the end, a human expert shrouded in a halo descended from the sky, and everything began to change.
It was impossible to see its appearance, and it was even impossible to tell whether it was male or female. Its entire body was surrounded by auspicious colors, and there was only the word "Emperor" carved above its head.
"The Great Emperor of ancient times!" Ye Fan was shocked, and he quickly looked down.
As expected of the Great Emperor who ruled over the world, he suppressed the humanoid creature with a horn on its forehead and devoutly guarding the Divine Source with one move, and directly smashed it into the ground.
That kind of aura was majestic, and the ancient person used a simple style to carve out a bit of the soul, showing the supreme power of the Great Emperor.
All Directions Cloud Destruction, Spirit Piercing Rainbow, Stars and Moon Trembling, this was the power of a Great Emperor!
He suppressed the humanoid creature as soon as he made a move.
In the following carvings, he directly attacked the Divine Source, but it was a pity that at this point, the walls of the ancient mine were broken, and the carvings were broken, so it was difficult to see the result.
Skipping over this part, Ye Fan continued to look. He felt like he had returned to the ancient land hundreds of thousands of years ago, and he could feel the supreme power of the Great Emperor.
The existence in the exceptional Divine Source was obviously very terrifying, and it was extremely powerful, forcing the Great Emperor to take out a weapon. It was a huge bell that was as tall as the sky, and it pressed down, covering the Divine Source.
"An extreme weapon!"
Ye Fan was shocked, and the power of the Great Emperor's weapon was indeed terrifying, and he had never seen such power before.
It was as if the supreme power of the Great Emperor from hundreds of thousands of years ago was about to break through the wall!
Ye Fan's heart was in turmoil, and the unparalleled divine might of the Great Emperor of ancient times made him yearn.
In the next carving, the Divine Source cracked, and the creature inside still walked out. However, it only depicted her reaching out a delicate palm, and the stone wall behind it shattered again, so it couldn't be seen in its entirety.
Ye Fan found it hard to calm down, and he quickly walked forward. However, after walking for a long distance, the stone wall was all broken, and the carvings had all fallen off.
After all, hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and if it wasn't for the special materials in the mine, there was no way it could have been preserved until now, so it was normal for it to be destroyed.
Only when he walked out a hundred meters did the carving reappear. Unfortunately, the battle had already ended. The Great Emperor used the extreme weapon -- the bell to suppress the archaic creature, sealing it in the exceptional Divine Source.
In the end, he still couldn't see the true appearance of that terrifying creature.
"A delicate palm like jade, it seems to belong to a woman, yet it is so powerful …" Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. The creatures of the Archaic Era were hard to fathom as expected, not dying in the Divine Source, and actually living until the future.
However, he admired the Great Emperor even more, suppressing such a terrifying creature. As expected of an outstanding hero that overlooked the boundless world.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see the course of that great battle. The hundred meter long stone wall was destroyed, and it must have recorded the most exciting and intense scenes of the battle.
Ye Fan walked forward another dozen or so meters, and finally finished looking at the last carving.
The Great Emperor from the Primordial Era restored the earth to its original state, and then used the bell to suppress the Divine Source before flying towards a distant mountain.
"Purple Mountain!" Ye Fan recognized the mountain at first glance. It was the "pearl" of the Nine Dragons Guard.
After seeing all of this, he didn't move forward, and instead stood in place for a long time, silently thinking.
This was a carving left behind by the ancients from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it recorded some of the events of the past. All kinds of excavations of the ancient mine were recorded in the carving.
This mine was under a mountain ridge, which was also under a so-called dragon vein.
In this area, there were a total of nine dragon veins, and they guarded a pearl. They definitely had Divine Source, so did this mean that there were terrifying creatures in every dragon vein? Could it be that similar things had happened to them, and they were finally suppressed by the Great Emperor?
In the source area of the Yaoguang Holy Land, when the brilliance of the pyramid flowed and the green vitality reappeared, Ye Fan had seen the formation of the source with his own eyes.
It was purely a coincidence that the creatures were sealed in the source. The source fluid dripped down and sealed the corpses on the ground.
Did the tyrannical creatures from the Primordial Era here passively seal the source, or did they enter the dragon vein and sleep in the exceptional Divine Source?
Logically speaking, once the Divine Source solidified, one couldn't enter. After all, the mine had already formed, and if one forcefully entered, the Divine Source would only shatter, and there was no way to protect it.
This was a primitive source vein, and it wasn't man-made. However, Ye Fan didn't think it was so simple.
If the tyrannical creatures from the Primordial Era sealed themselves in the Divine Source, then he could think of more.
There were nine dragon veins here, and there were at least nine pieces of Divine Source. If there were terrifying creatures sealed in all of them, did they know each other?
In the distant past, could it be that the nine terrifying ancient creatures knew each other and made the same choice?
Zhang Wuye's ancestor, the Yuan Taoist Master, once said that only the Great Emperor could touch the "general influence" of this place. In the distant ancient times, those ancient creatures chose this place, and they dared to touch this "general influence" …
Thinking further, Ye Fan thought of another terrifying result. There were tyrannical creatures from the Primordial Era who had already occupied this place. Did this mean that the purple mountain was also the same?
If that was the case, and there was a terrifying creature in each of the nine dragon veins, what were they guarding?
Only the Great Emperor could touch the "general influence" of this place. The Great Emperor of the human race was a latecomer, and when he appeared, other races had already occupied this place.
Yes, according to this speculation, that Great Emperor had come too late!
"Everything is in the purple mountain …"
Ye Fan understood that the root of everything was ultimately concentrated in the purple mountain.
