In the Gen Palace of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Array, Tian Xuanzi was panting heavily as he struggled to survive the attacks from the monster wolf and the armored monsters. A hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes.
Although this damn monster wolf was hard to deal with, it was only because of its strong mortal body. It was not enough to make him afraid.
What he was afraid of were the eighteen armored monsters that were like maggots in one's bones. The weapons in their hands actually had the effect of killing Divine Souls, which made him suffer quite a bit from the start. Fortunately, he sensed the danger and immediately withdrew his Martial Soul. However, his Martial Soul was still slightly injured, which caused his combat strength to plummet.
The biggest difference between the True Martial Realm and the God Martial Realm was that the former had their own martial soul. Once the martial soul was released, their combat power would increase by several folds. But in this place, the biggest advantage of the God Martial Realm was suppressed. He didn't dare to release the power of his martial soul at all, which made his combat power greatly reduced. This was why he was in a stalemate.
What's worse was that he was here to kill the monster wolf and obtain the Nascent Soul Core, but he was lured into this underground palace by the monster wolf. Now, he couldn't even leave even if he wanted to.
If it was someone else from the Tianji Pavilion who came here, they wouldn't be in such a situation. After all, the Tianji Pavilion was able to predict the future of the world. Which one of them didn't know something about array formations?
But Tian Xuanzi was a martial maniac. He had never been interested in array formations, so he was completely clueless in this place. What's worse was that in this array formation, even his divine psyche was greatly suppressed. He couldn't even find a way out.
If Ding Ning knew about this, he would definitely be dumbfounded. The divine psyche was indeed suppressed by the Immortal Stone, but it was only limited to a slightly smaller range. It wasn't to the extent that he couldn't even find a way out.
This was the difference between the liquid state of the divine psyche and the unliquid state of the divine psyche. Although Tian Xuanzi's cultivation level was higher than Ding Ning's, in terms of the purity of the divine psyche, he was no match for Ding Ning.
After all, how many people in this world could cultivate the [Spirit Cleansing Art] and [Spirit Refinement Art] at the same time like Ding Ning? He even managed to refine a large portion of the life essence of a tree spirit that had lived for who knew how many years.
Although the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit could absorb the spiritual matter drifting between heaven and earth to enhance the spiritual force, in fact, the content of this kind of spiritual matter between heaven and earth was extremely small. If Ding Ning had not had a fortuitous encounter to refine the essence of life, even if he practiced for a hundred years without eating or drinking, he would not be able to liquefy his divine awareness.
For the peak-stage Saint Martial Level cultivators, unless they were Celestial Masters or were blessed with great fortune, they would rarely be able to condense their psyche into a liquid state, let alone Tian Xuanzi who was in the Celestial Martial Level. Thus, when Ding Ning was able to release his psyche to scan the surroundings, Tian Xuanzi couldn't even scan the entire underground palace, let alone find Ding Ning.
"Damn it, this Wolf Demon actually found a helper. I've really miscalculated this time. If there's no chance to turn things around, I might die here today."
Tian Xuanzi repelled the invulnerable wolf monster with a single palm strike and he murmured in his heart. He did not dare to release his martial soul out of fear that it would be harmed by the armored monster.
Disregarding the massive consumption of his spiritual force, he wrapped his spiritual force around himself tightly. He was already in a disadvantageous position and if he were to suffer any more injuries, he would really be dead.
Although the spiritual force barrier did not have much of an effect on the armored monster's psyche, it was still better than nothing.
Just as he was consuming more and more energy and was gradually unable to hold on, a guy wearing Zorro's mask suddenly appeared and easily beheaded an armored monster.
"Mister …."
Before Tian Xuanzi could express his gratitude, the Wolf Demon roared angrily and reached out its half-foot long black claws towards him, forcing him to swallow back his words of gratitude.
Just as he was about to fight the Wolf Demon with all his might, a Caucasian man shimmering in golden light dashed past him and charged towards the Wolf Demon.
Then, without any regard for his own safety, he met the wolf demon head-on. Then, he was sent flying by a slap from the wolf demon.
Tian Xuanzi was dumbfounded, was this Caucasian man an idiot? Even if he wanted to steal the kill, he should have at least measured his own strength first.
But before he could react, the Caucasian man stood up as if nothing had happened and charged towards the Wolf Demon without any fear of death.
The masked man killed the armored monster like he was cutting vegetables while the Caucasian man was slapped away by the Wolf Demon like an unkillable cockroach. But every time, he would charge forward again and again. It seemed like he would not be killed anytime soon and this greatly reduced the pressure on him. Thus, he took the chance to take out some medicinal pellets to replenish his depleted spiritual force.
"Senior Tian Xuanzi, I am Ding Ning but please don't expose my identity!"
The masked man's sudden voice transmission made Tian Xuanzi shiver and he looked at Ding Ning in disbelief. What the hell? The last time he saw this brat, he was not even in the Sky Martial Level. Although he couldn't see through his cultivation level now, he was at least in the True Martial Level. How was this possible?
"You are really Ding Ning? How can you prove it? "
Tian Xuanzi looked at him suspiciously and transmitted his voice.
"Of course, do I have to pretend to be myself?"
Ding Ning replied with a helpless smile.
"That's hard to say. Who knows what your goal is to get close to me, that's why you pretended to be my son-in-law."
Tian Xuanzi acted like an experienced man and his tone showed that he didn't believe him at all.
"Tsk, the first time we met was at the National Warrior Palace. At that time, you and Qiao Qiao went to send the invitation and we even sparred. You even wanted to introduce your mixed-blood daughter to me. Can you prove it now?"
Ding Ning was speechless and he told Tian Xuanzi about their first meeting.
Tian Xuanzi grinned and he transmitted his voice to Zhong Yue, "Hehe, not bad. It really is you, brother. Speaking of which, why are you covering your face?"
"Let's talk about this later. Anyways, the situation here is quite complicated and it's not convenient for me to show myself. Oh right, how did you get here?"
Ding Ning killed the armored monster easily and he still had the time to chat with Tian Xuanzi.
"Didn't you say that you want to use the Nascent Core of the monster beast? So I came looking for this monster wolf and wanted to kill it for the Nascent Core. But who knew that this beast's intelligence had increased and it even learned how to play tricks. It pretended to be defeated and in a panic, it led me all the way to this place. "
Tian Xuanzi said gloomily, "Although I felt that something was not right, I didn't think too much about it. But who knew that not only is the psyche suppressed here, there are also armored monsters that can harm the soul. I can't even unleash a tenth of my strength. How frustrating!"
Ding Ning curled his lips. If he came one second later, he would only be able to collect this old man's corpse. What the hell? Shocking the world and crying the gods? All he knows is to be stubborn.
Ding Ning wondered how this old scourge managed to survive until this day. He clearly sensed something was wrong and yet, he still dared to walk into the ambush.
As for why Tian Xuanzi could come here without going through the blood ritual, Ding Ning suddenly remembered that he missed a point. The Palace of Gen was located in the northeast direction, which was the life gate of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Array. It was also the only place that didn't require the blood ritual to enter. In other words, the Palace of Gen was the main entrance of the tomb.
The fact that Tian Xuanzi was the only one in the Gen Palace was enough to prove this point. However, this also meant that the monster wolf knew the entrance to the tomb, which was why it lured Tian Xuanzi in and ambushed him. Furthermore, the armored monster didn't attack the monster wolf as an intruder, which made a lot of sense.
Could it be that the monster wolf was also one of the guardians of the tomb? Or did the monster wolf have some way to make the armored monster treat it as one of its own?
The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy going on.
He wondered if the monster wolf could communicate with humans. Otherwise, he might be able to find the answer and solve the mystery of the tomb.
With this in mind, Ding Ning asked, "Senior Tian Xuanzi, where did you find this monster wolf? Is it able to communicate with humans? "
"Many years ago, when I was traveling around the world, I once encountered a pack of wolves that attacked the local herdsmen in the Mongolian Plains. The heavens were kind, so I killed quite a few wolves and saved the herdsmen. To prevent the wolves from harassing the herdsmen again, I chased after the pack of wolves and realized that the leader of the pack was a snow-white wolf with no other fur on its body."
Tian Xuanzi recalled and said, "I wanted to tame this white wolf as my pet, but who would have thought that the white wolf would gather tens of thousands of Grassland Wolves to attack me."
"And then!"
Ding Ning listened with great interest. He casually killed the last armored monster and threw his weapon to the Vajra King.
"How could those ordinary wolves do anything to me? Just as I killed thousands of Grassland Wolves and was about to capture the white wolf, I didn't expect the white wolf to start howling at the moon. I thought it was the awakening of the legendary Silver Howl Wolf, so I stopped and waited to see what kind of changes would happen to the white wolf."
Tian Xuanzi pointed at the monster wolf with a gloomy face and said, "But I didn't expect that the white wolf was not awakening but asking for help. Damn it, even the wolf pack has a backer. The white wolf howled for a long time and the monster wolf appeared."
"Then, did you win?"
Ding Ning already knew the ending. Tian Xuanzi was most likely defeated and ran away. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't have let the monster wolf live until now.
"Of course I won. Although I had just entered the God Martial Arts Realm at that time, and the wolf demon was a small realm higher than me, it was still not my opponent. However, God has the virtue of cherishing life. Considering that it was not easy for it to cultivate, I showed mercy and spared its life. Otherwise, how could it live until now?"
Tian Xuanzi said without any change in his expression. Then, he sighed and said, "Raising a tiger in my bosom is really asking for trouble. I didn't expect this monster wolf to have gained intelligence and even tricked me. If it weren't for you guys, I would've failed miserably."
"Big … talk … shamelessly … full of lies. I wonder who was the one who ran away like a rabbit in order to escape with his dog life. Now, you're actually blowing your own trumpet here. You're indeed a despicable and shameless human!"
Bam — — The wolf monster slapped King Kong away and shouted angrily at Tian Xuanzi after he slapped King Kong away.
"Huh? You … you … you can speak human language? Then why haven't I heard you speak before? "
Tian Xuanzi was exposed but he was not angered at all. Instead, he pointed at the monster wolf and shouted in disbelief.
A disdainful look flashed across the monster wolf's face, "I know how to speak human language, I just don't want to deal with you cunning humans."
Tian Xuanzi, King Kong, Master Pi, and Rachel were all dumbfounded as they looked at the monster wolf with their mouths agape.
Although they knew that the monster wolf was strong, they still treated it as a monster. Now that they saw it speaking human language, they couldn't accept it. Are there really monsters in this world?
On the other hand, Ding Ning was someone who had seen countless True Dragons. He had a strong immunity to situations like this. He looked at the monster wolf with interest and asked, "Since you can speak, then it's easy. Tell me, what is going on here? Is this really the tomb of Genghis Khan? I don't think a monster expert like you would guard the tomb of a human. "
"Guard the tomb? Hmph! Why would we, the great monster race, guard the tomb of a human? The genius in your eyes, Genghis Khan, is just a slave cultivated by us monsters. "
The monster wolf said proudly.
