Just as everyone entered the cave, Ye Mo finally appeared. He'd only dared to come here because he'd sensed the commotion.
Looking at the huge cave in front of him, he entered without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the cave, Ye Mo discovered that the interior of the cave seemed to be an independent world. It was empty, with nothing inside. However, on the walls, there were huge sculptures carved into them. These sculptures had human bodies and snake tails, cow heads and horse faces, eight arms, and all sorts of other weird shapes. Almost none of the sculptures looked like normal humans – they were all half-human, half-beast.
At a glance, there were at least a hundred statues scattered around the walls.
Ye Mo didn't alarm anyone when he walked in. They were all attracted by the statues on the walls.
"This is the Crimson Water Ruler's cave? Where's the body of the Crimson Water Ruler? The Deity Technique? The resources? Why is it empty? Is there nothing? "
One of the Qin Family's elders scanned the surroundings, but he couldn't find any resources. Generally speaking, when a Sovereign Realm expert passed away in meditation, his body would usually be in his cultivation dwelling. It was impossible for him to hide, unless the resources in his cultivation dwelling had already been taken away.
"The Crimson Water Ruler was a great ruler," the elder of the Qin Clan said. "I've heard that some rulers would set up some tests before they died to make things difficult for their descendants. Only by passing the tests can one obtain the inheritance."
Looking at the statues on the walls, the Chicken Monarch's mouth began to twitch. She had read many books in the Monarch Palace's library and knew that the statues on the walls were actually a formation. Once activated, they would unleash a powerful attack. Only by breaking through the formation could one enter the cave abode.
"Oh? Test? Could it be that the statues around the walls are a test for us? "
An elite disciple of the Holy Battle League exclaimed.
"Hmph, who cares about the test. Let's break this formation first."
Dou Zhantian sneered. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his hand and slapped one of the statues. In an instant, the statue trembled and the sound of a beating heart resounded. Then, a black light erupted from the statue and petrified Dou Zhantian.
"Dou Zhantian!"
Ye Mo looked at the person who had just attacked. It was Dou Zhantian. His face twisted with rage. Back at the Ye Nan Estate, if Dou Zhantian hadn't exposed his identity, he would have successfully taken Xiao Yue away safely.
"What's going on with Battlemaster?"
"Master, every statue on the surrounding walls contains a trace of the power of a World King. Once you choose one of the statues and attack it, it will reflect a kind of energy that will turn you to stone and forcefully drag you into the Great Heaven World refined by the Great Ruler. However, this Great Heaven World is a fictional world, similar to a dream. You will encounter unprecedented trials within it. Only by truly passing these trials can you truly approach the inheritance of the Crimson Water Ruler."
Little Qing immediately explained, "However, I don't understand. Logically speaking, there should be 108 statues on the wall, representing the 108 constellations. However, there are only 107 statues in front of us."
"107? Did someone beat us to it? "
Ye Mo asked in surprise.
"That's right. Once someone passes the test, the statue will disappear. In other words, someone has already been to the Scarlet Water Ruler's cave. Furthermore, it's possible that someone has emptied the cave."
Little Qing guessed.
"Doesn't that mean there's no need for us to fight for it?"
Ye Mo couldn't help but ask. Although he felt that it was a pity, it was understandable that someone had taken advantage of the cave. With such a huge cave, it was strange that no one had their eyes on it.
"We still have to go and take a look," Little Qing said. "Perhaps the other party has missed out on something. Furthermore, don't you want to kill Battlemaster? This is a rare opportunity for you. "
Little Qing said, "Based on my guess, apart from you and Battlemaster, there aren't many people who can truly pass this test."
"Alright!"
Ye Mo nodded and slammed his palm on one of the statues. Immediately, his body began to petrify. But it wasn't his real body that was being petrified. His real body had long since entered a dream world.
Beneath Ye Mo's feet was a lush green patch of grass.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violent tremor rang out. Giant wolf-headed creatures appeared one after another. There were at least a hundred of them, each holding a giant Lang Ya Board in their hands. Menacingly, they charged at Ye Mo.
"Isn't the statue I just hit a wolf-headed creature?"
Ye Mo cried out in surprise. He grabbed the Phoenix Chestnut God Slaying Spear and pierced through it. The wolf-headed creature instantly turned into nothingness.
"That easy?"
Ye Mo was slightly stunned. His spear continued to sweep around. In an instant, all the wolf-headed creatures were killed. They didn't even have a chance to fight back.
"The strength of these wolf-headed creatures is based on your own cultivation level. You've only refined one Life Crystal Core, so these wolf-headed creatures are only at the level of first-order completion," Little Qing said calmly.
"This test is naturally easy for you. But for normal warriors, it's extremely difficult. That's because you'll have to deal with 108 ancient beasts of the same cultivation level. Even if you have the ability to challenge those of a higher cultivation level, it'll still be very difficult."
"No wonder you said that this test isn't difficult for me."
Ye Mo nodded. Soon, he felt like he was being petrified. When he broke free from the petrification, he discovered that he had broken out from the wolf-headed creature statue.
Immediately, he discovered that he was still in the palace. However, in the center of the palace sat an old man who had long since passed away. Furthermore, the Deity Technique on his body had long since disappeared.
"Damn it. It's an empty cave abode."
Dou Zhantian examined the place and kicked the Crimson Water Ruler out. His body also shattered into pieces. His face was filled with anger. He had thought that he would definitely gain something from this fight for the cave abode. Never did he expect that it would be an empty cave abode.
"So it's really an empty cave abode?"
Ye Mo looked at Dou Zhantian and slowly walked over. He said, "But aren't you afraid of divine retribution for desecrating the body of a Ruler?"
"Who are you? You're telling me divine retribution? "
Dou Zhantian sneered. "What's my name? Dou Zhantian. I want to fight the heavens. As for desecrating the body of a Ruler, he's long dead. He'll never exist in this world. So what if I do? "
