The Lake of Death. The central island. In the air above the crescent-shaped castle.
The skinny old man's face was cold and sinister as he stared at Li Yue's metallic lifeform, not hiding his killing intent at all.
"Leave this place. F * ck off!"
F * ck off!
His enormous voice rumbled through the skies, causing Li Yue to be startled. "This fellow … I haven't even gone over, but he already has such an enormous reaction. He must be guilty!"
This old man's reaction was simply too great. Linley hadn't even figured out what was going on. Linley had only just approached, but he was already in such a rush to tell Linley to leave. He wouldn't believe it at all if someone told him that there was nothing going on.
In addition, the more he stayed here, the more Li Yue sensed that something in his heart was growing more and more powerful, and his subconscious was growing more and more powerful.
He guessed that there had to be something within this island that he had sensed, and that this thing was the reason why the old man had such an enormous reaction.
If it wasn't for the fact that Linley was so powerful, most likely this old man would have immediately attacked him.
The reason why Linley hadn't attacked yet was because he was afraid. But if he was forced into a corner, it seemed as though the old man would go berserk …
"This old man's aura is somewhere between a Six Star Fiend and a Seven Star Fiend. I don't fear him, but who knows if this old man has any other divine clones? Thus, once I attack, I can't kill him completely, so as to avoid future troubles!"
For now, it was best to test him out a bit.
However, before Li Yue could say anything, the old man's eyes suddenly exploded with cold light. With a flip of his hand, a sharp black longsword appeared, and he slashed directly towards Li Yue.
The black longsword emanated a dense aura of destruction, and in an instant, it split into multiple sword shadows. The layers of sword shadows gathered together, and with a slash sound, space itself was torn apart, revealing a long black hole.
"Highgod of Destruction!"
Li Yue's face turned cold. His body moved, and he flew out of the metallic lifeform, dodging this sword attack. But the metallic lifeform wasn't so lucky. It was forcibly chopped apart, into two halves.
In addition, the sword shadow didn't slow down in the slightest. It circled around, then once more attacked him.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Li Yue raised his hand. Dense destruction divine energy gathered in his right hand and formed a solid barrier. He grabbed at the sword shadow and clenched his fist. In just two moves, the sword shadow was crushed into bits of black light and scattered.
"So strong?" The old man had an ugly expression on his face. His strongest attack had actually been forcefully crushed by someone else. His sneak attack had failed, and he had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Li Yue had seen this kind of situation many times. This old man simply didn't know what was good for him. He originally planned to have a good talk, but now there was no need.
Regardless of whether or not this old man had any other divine clones, today, this divine clone of a Destruction-level Highgod would definitely die.
"Heavenly Change!"
He clenched his right hand and put his index finger together. Divine power of destruction pulsed and flickered. A terrifying sword radiance burst out from his finger and turned into a terrifying brilliance that soared into the sky.
An unprecedented pressure locked down everything within a radius of tens of miles. The old man felt his body sink as an unprecedented fear surged into his heart.
"NO!"
He let out a furious roar, and his eyes instantly turned crimson as snow. With a flip of his body, he transformed into a three-legged, three-winged, snake-headed, eagle-bodied divine beast.
A powerful aura exploded out from the divine beast's body, and one ray of Destruction-level divine power after another surged out, struggling to break free from those terrifying bindings.
But the effect was negligible.
Boom!
A terrifying blue energy exploded out from the divine beast's body, and a thick aura of destiny spread out. In the blink of an eye, the divine beast's power increased by several times, becoming even more powerful.
"Destruction-level aura? Destruction-level aura? Destruction-level Sovereign's Might and Destruction-level Sovereign's Might? However … it's still useless! "
Li Yue laughed coldly. In the face of such an enormous difference in power, no matter what this old man did, he would definitely die today.
Although Sovereign's Might was powerful, how many levels could a Six Star Fiend use? Destiny and Destruction-level Sovereign's Might might be willing to use, but none!
Screech!
The snake-headed mouth of the divine beast opened, emitting an ear-piercing screech. A black, twisting vortex appeared from the mouth of the divine beast, wildly swallowing towards Li Yue.
"An innate divine ability?!"
Li Yue's face didn't change. He had seen quite a few attacks like this. The Gebados Prison had countless divine beasts, and he had killed countless of them. He had encountered quite a few innate divine abilities.
Divine beasts were blessed by the heavens. Upon reaching adulthood, they would become Deities, and they would also have all sorts of strange innate divine abilities, including offensive ones, defensive ones, functional ones, and all sorts of others.
Powerful divine beasts, just by relying on their innate divine abilities, could dominate others of the same level.
For example, Beirut was a powerful and rare divine beast, a Godeater Rat. His innate divine ability, 'Godeater', ignored defense and destroyed the soul. It was terrifyingly powerful.
And now, this strange divine beast that this old man had manifested, in his despair, had also exploded with his innate divine ability, but from the looks of it, it was a type of material attack divine ability.
Quite powerful!
But not enough!
Li Yue felt waves of destructive power appear out of nowhere within his body, constantly slicing and destroying, wanting to kill him.
But with just a thought, all the divine power in his body exploded, and the chaotic divine power in his body was annihilated.
The divine ability was broken.
All of this took a long time to describe, but from the moment Li Yue made his move to the moment the old man transformed to resist, it had all happened in an instant.
Thus, when the innate divine ability was activated, Li Yue's Sky Change Sword had already descended from the sky. An enormous sword-light directly swept across, gently slicing it apart.
"Slash!"
It was as easy as cutting tofu. The strange divine beast's body was cleanly cut into two, and the two halves fell from the sky, falling into the black lake.
In the sky, only a black divine spark was left, floating in the air, as well as an interspatial ring that he had absorbed into his hand.
With a thought, Li Yue tried to break open the interspatial ring, but he couldn't.
"Is there still a divine clone alive?"
Looking at the gray interspatial ring in his hand, he casually tossed it aside and put it away. Since he couldn't open it now, he would deal with it later.
Dealing with this fellow wasn't much to Li Yue. It could only be said that this old man's temper was too bad, and he was too stupid. At the slightest disagreement, he attacked, and even launched a sneak attack. Did he really think that just because he was a Six Star Fiend, he was incredible?
However, that old man, a Six Star Fiend, had Sovereign's Might, and not just one type at that. It seemed as though his background was quite significant, and he was quite wealthy. No wonder he was so arrogant.
But … he was incredibly stupid.
Li Yue didn't care about status. If he offended someone, he would kill them.
"But this castle …?"
At this moment, Li Yue was carefully inspecting the crescent-shaped castle below him. That earlier feeling had come from the center of the castle.
Let's go!
With a movement of his body, he transformed into a ray of light and descended, quickly arriving at the entrance to the castle.
The ancient castle stood alone in the center of the island. It had existed for who knew how long. It was completely grayish-white in color, and it was unknown what material it was constructed from. Under the silver moonlight, it didn't reflect any light at all. It looked very simple, and it gave off a sense of age.
Outside the castle, the black waters of the lake were splashing about. In the quiet night, the sound was particularly loud.
At the entrance, a semicircular door was tightly shut. Outside the door, there were two stone humanoid statues. Outside the statues, there were complicated runes and patterns. These were magical formations.
"Golems?"
Li Yue took a step forward, and the two humanoid statues suddenly opened their eyes. Their crimson eyes flashed as they locked onto Li Yue, and then they pulled out the spears on their backs and stabbed out.
"F * ck off!"
With a wave of his hand, the spear shattered, and the golem flew backwards, smashing viciously against the wall. The entire wall caved in, but it wasn't damaged at all.
"Eh? The quality isn't bad. It didn't break? "
However, looking at the golem that was embedded in the wall and unable to move, Li Yue reckoned that there wasn't much damage on the outside, but the internal structure was more or less destroyed. Naturally, he didn't continue to pay attention to it.
After taking a few steps, he pushed open the semicircular door. What entered his eyes was a long corridor.
On both sides of the corridor, crystal lanterns were lit. The lanterns were transparent, and it was unknown where they extended to. One couldn't see the end of the corridor.
Li Yue stepped into the corridor and slowly advanced along it. After walking for a full ten minutes, he reached the end and arrived at a huge hall.
Along the way, it was safe and sound. However, as soon as he stepped into the hall, before he had the time to carefully examine it, he heard a series of whooshing sounds.
Long spears carved with magical runes flew towards Li Yue. On both sides of the hall, there were already many humanoid puppets standing there. Their auras weren't weak.
However, they were all just for show.
To an expert of his level, these puppets were completely useless. They might be useful against some Lower Gods or Middle Gods, but against Higher Gods or even stronger existences, they were simply a joke.
Most likely, the old man had set them up not to defend against Higher Gods, but to defend against gods who accidentally entered this place.
Bang!
With a series of explosions, the puppets on both sides directly exploded and exploded into powder. This time, Li Yue didn't hold back. Naturally, these puppets weren't as lucky as before.
After dealing with this small problem, he carefully looked at the hall.
The ancient dome-shaped hall was empty. Apart from the long corridors on both sides, some broken puppets, and other doors, there was nothing else.
"Strange, that feeling is clearly here, but why is there nothing?"
After arriving at the hall, Li Yue could clearly feel that strong calling, but when he looked around, there was nothing.
Under the scan of his divine sense, there was no hidden layer under the hall, and there was nothing above it. It was empty.
All of a sudden, there were no clues.
"No, no, no, this feeling is too strong. It must be here, but … there is nothing on the surface of this hall. Underground and above, it's all empty … then …"
Li Yue's heart flashed, and he thought of something.
He calmly walked to the very center of the dome-shaped hall. Under his feet was a hard grayish-white floor, and above his head was a dome-shaped sky lamp, emitting light.
However, it was only when he reached the center that he felt something was different.
"Spatial fluctuations, standing at the very center, I can actually feel spatial fluctuations …"
A small half-plane space?
Li Yue's heart lit up. In the next second, he directly waved his hand like a knife and gently slashed.
Rip!
A crisp sound like the paper of an old book being torn apart rang out. The space where his palm passed by was directly cut open.
However, that opening didn't immediately heal. Instead, it solidified there and slowly squirmed, closing bit by bit.
"Let's go!"
With a move of his body, Li Yue directly stepped into it.
In the next second, a completely different scene appeared before his eyes.
