The scent of blood was mixed in the air within the empty large hall, forming clusters of dense blood fog. Numerous corpses were lying in a disorderly manner. The scene appeared extremely horrifying. At this moment, there were still three living people in the large hall. One of them was Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was the first to arrive at this place.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's body was as stiff as a statue. One of his feet was lifted into the air and stopped less than two inches from the ground.
The expression on his face was particularly interesting. The previous solemn expression was no longer present. On the contrary, it was replaced with an extremely shocked expression. His pair of pitch-black eyes were filled with disbelief.
It was a long while later before Xiao Yan gradually recovered from the shock that he had been in for a long while.
While Xiao Yan was in a daze, the two black-robed men behind him did not disturb him. They only took off the loose black robes that covered their faces, revealing their true faces in the hall that was filled with the smell of blood.
When Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the two people behind him with a surprised gaze, the familiar and amiable smile that was revealed on their faces caused Xiao Yan to feel as though he was dreaming.
Both parties stood still on the spot and smiled as they looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Xiao Yan's face was filled with excitement as he heavily cupped his hands toward the old man who had just spoken. He bowed and spoke with a respectful tone, one word at a time.
"Junior Xiao Yan pays his respects to Elder Luo!"
At this moment, the blood fog in the air automatically scattered, forming a pure tunnel between the two parties. At this moment, Old Luo was similarly looking at Xiao Yan with a smile. His old face was filled with a pleased and satisfied expression.
This so-called Elder Luo was naturally Luo Ao, whom he had not seen for many years in Emerald Green City. As for the other young man beside him, he was naturally Xiao Yan's first friend after coming to Yuanwu Continent, Luo Jin!
"Ke ke, little fellow, it has been many years since we last met. Your achievements have caused the old me to sigh in admiration!"
Luo Ao smiled and nodded to Xiao Yan as he stepped forward. The powerful fighting strength that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier was something that even he had never heard of. Even in the entire continent, it seemed that there was no one among the younger generation whom he had met who could contend with Xiao Yan!
The latter involuntarily smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Immediately, his gaze landed on Luo Jin by the side.
Without the obstruction of the black robe, the latter's current cultivation was completely exposed in front of Xiao Yan's eyes.
An intermediate eight star Dou Di. This kind of training speed was even more exaggerated than his own.
"Tsk tsk tsk, an intermediate eight star Dou Di. Your training speed is really frightening. Do you want to find time to spar with me?"
Xiao Yan's eyes revealed an amazed expression. In less than ten years, he had leaped from a mere Ban Di to an elite eight star Dou Di. This kind of training speed could really be said to be world shocking!
However, the last sentence of his words caused Luo Jin's entire body to quiver. He hurriedly waved his hand and used his gaze to viciously glare at Luo Jin. He snappily said,
"You are purposely mocking me. Although it is true that I am an intermediate eight star Dou Di, I have clearly seen earlier that even the advanced eight star Dou Di, Jian Ming, was unable to endure a punch from you, much less me … I should also mention that you are only an intermediate six star Dou Di …"
"Ugh …"
Luo Jin's words caused Xiao Yan and Luo Ao to be speechless. They immediately laughed involuntarily. Luo Jin helplessly shrugged his shoulders. His face was filled with an innocent expression.
What he said was indeed correct. With Xiao Yan's fighting strength, he could be considered a kind of heaven defying existence among all the elite Dou Di on the continent. A six star Dou Di was able to kill an eight star Dou Di. Even a nine star Dou Di had been killed by him. This kind of fighting strength could be said to be frightening!
"Ke ke, if I have not guessed wrongly, the reason why you have stayed until the end is because of this."
The three of them chatted for a while. Immediately, Luo Ao changed the topic and returned to the main topic.
The three of them turned around and simultaneously looked at the enormous stone statue at the deepest part of the large hall.
At this moment, there was no one beside them. Xiao Yan's heart suddenly relaxed. His gaze also became a little more careful when he looked at the stone statue.
"That's right. My aim for entering the ancient tomb this time around is actually not because of these Dou Qi inheritances …"
"Instead, you are here to obtain the Spiritual Source Strength of Tian Jue?"
Luo Ao raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to have heard something from Xiao Yan's words.
It seemed that the latter knew that the Spiritual Source Strength of Tian Jue existed in this ancient tomb from the very beginning.
However, all of this was not important. What was important was that these words of Xiao Yan allowed them to keep the Dou Qi inheritance in a logical manner. In this way, they did not need to care about Xiao Yan's feelings after they obtained the Dou Qi inheritance. This action of Xiao Yan was purposefully giving up the Dou Qi inheritance to them.
Of course, regardless of whether Xiao Yan was willing to give it up, this would more or less cause Luo Ao and Luo Ao to feel a little apologetic. Hence, the Spiritual Source Strength sealed within the stone statue naturally became a tool to smooth out this layer of apologetic feeling.
The three of them arrived in front of the stone statue and cast their gazes on it. Luo Ao glanced at Xiao Yan and gently nodded his head as a sign of acknowledgment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's thoughts moved. He took out a strand of Spiritual Source Strength from the Soul Bead and slowly approached the stone statue. After which, he poured it into the stone statue through its eyes.
"Hum hum hum!"
Immediately, a golden light rapidly rose from the surface of the stone statue and enveloped the entire stone statue. Luo Ao's eyes immediately flashed when he saw this. Surprise flashed across his old face.
He could tell that this layer of golden light was a kind of formation. Moreover, its rank did not seem to be low. It had been left behind by Tian Jue specifically to protect the stone statue. With his extraordinary eyesight and experience, Luo Ao could tell that as long as there was the protection of this special formation, the stone statue would instantly explode if someone tried to forcefully steal the Spiritual Source Strength within the stone statue. At the same time, the enormous Spiritual Source Strength within it would also explode.
"I didn't expect this old guy to be so careful. It seems that this should be a kind of Rank 6 formation. It's just that the method used is not very pure."
Luo Ao expressed his opinion as he looked at the layer of golden light on the stone statue. On the other hand, Luo Jin could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He said in surprise,
"A Rank 6 Formation Master? Isn't that the same as you?"
"Shut up, brat. If it weren't for the fact that this old man was too lazy to cultivate, how could a dead man from a thousand years ago compare to me?"
As soon as Luo Jin finished speaking, Luo Ao hurriedly shut him up. Then, he glanced at the formation in front of him again and said with slight ridicule,
"Although it's a Rank 6 formation, in this old man's opinion, this Tian Jue probably just happened to break through to Rank 6 before he died."
Hearing this, Luo Jin chuckled and glanced at Luo Ao with a mocking look in his eyes. He thought to himself,
"Old man, when you broke through to Rank 6, you were already an Origin King, right? And this guy …"
He was an early Returnance expert and a Class 6 Formation Master. Just this aspect alone was enough to make Luo Ao incomparable to him. If it were not for the fact that the esteemed Tian Jue had died for no reason, his accomplishments would have been far greater.
