Chapter 1159: Snow Eagle King
After Qingfeng Li used the ‘Lion Roar,’ the demonic snow snakes in front of him all died instantly.
Although the physical bodies of the snakes could not be destroyed, their spirit energy could. Once their spirit energy was destroyed, their lives would be taken as well.
The demonic snow snakes at the back saw the deaths of their own kind, turned around, and started to escape.
With the intention to kill, Qingfeng opened his mouth once again, wanting to kill the escaping snakes with ‘Lion Roar.’
A giant sonic wave was formed as Qingfeng Li used the Lion Roar again and killed those fleeing snakes.
In an instant, hundreds of snakes all died, and their bodies were piled up like a snow mountain.
“Master is so strong!” Camilla’s pretty face was filled with shock.
Camilla knew Qingfeng Li was powerful, but never knew that he was that powerful. He could even kill the undying snow demonic snakes.
The self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent were shocked and horrified by Qingfeng’s endless power as well.
He shocked everyone by killing those snakes.
These ‘undying creatures’ at the Snow God Mountain were extremely hard to kill and had caused many troubles to those who lived there. It was obvious how powerful Qingfeng was when he effortlessly killed those snakes.
The Snow God Mountain was extremely tall. Qingfeng Li encountered many demonic beasts while he was climbing the mountain. However, he did not attack because he was saving his energy for his inevitable fight against Augustine, who was at the top of the mountain.
Camilla, Yafei Bing, and Black Puppy took care of most the beasts that came their way.
On the other hand, the Wolf Fang Team did not get involved in fights much. The only reasons why Qingfeng Li brought them along were to train them and increase their knowledge, as they were all his comrades that had been through life and death with him.
It must be mentioned that the Wolf Fang Team was very talented. They were all masters of the early-stage Heaven Spirit Realm when they first arrived. After all the training and hard work, they have all reached the peak of Heaven Spirit Realm, and all they were missing was an opportunity for them to reach the Spirit King Realm.
Qingfeng Li knew that the Wolf Fang Team was the base of his power. They had good synergy with each other, so they could easily team up and defeat their opponents together.
Three hours later, they finally reached the halfway point, and a snow eagle blocked their way.
This eagle was no ordinary beast, but the Snow Eagle King.
It was ginormous, spanning about 50 meters long, almost covering half of the sky. It had a body full of white, sharpened, hardened, arrow-like furs.
The Snow Eagle King stood at the halfway point and looked down on everyone, and Augustine, Uranus, Augustus, Uris, and Poseidon, were all blocked by the eagle.
“Master, this is the godly guardian beast of the Snow God Mountain – the Snow Eagle King,” Camilla said to Qingfeng.
He nodded his head in shock, as he never would’ve thought that this eagle would turn out to be the godly guardian beast of the Snow God Mountain.
This Eagle King had to be powerful enough to become the godly guardian beast of Snow God Mountain, home of the God of Life.
Qingfeng Li could feel the powerful energy force that surrounded the Snow Eagle King. This beast had reached the fourth stage of King Realm, almost two realms higher than Qingfeng. It was an incredibly strong existence that was close to invincibility.
“Human, this is the territory of the God of Life. Nobody shall continue,” the Snow Eagle King said to everyone.
Hearing what the Eagle King said, everyone’s face turned into horror and they took a step back.
A small sonic wave attack was released as the Eagle King spoke. Many did not notice and suffered a little bit.
“Snow Eagle King. I am the godson of the Pope and the successor of the God of Light. The God of Light and the God of Life are good friends. Therefore, you should let us enter,” Augustine smiled gently and said to the Snow Eagle King.
The Eagle King frowned its eyebrows after it heard Augustine’s comment. Although it could feel the slight power of the God of Light on this man, it shook its head and denied him.
This was where the God of Life’s heritage was, and the guardian would not let anyone enter, even if it was the successor of the God of Light.
Uranus was also not willing to stop here. He told the eagle he was the successor of the God of Thunder. However, the Eagle King insisted on not letting them pass.
Not only Uranus and Augustine, but the Eagle also denied Augustus, Uris, and Poseidon as well.
Even the self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent were denied, not to mention self-cultivators from the Dragon Continent like Qingfeng Li.
The Snow Eagle King stared at Qingfeng Li with hatred, as it saw Qingfeng Li killing all those snow demonic snakes with its own eyes. The Eagle King was filled with anger.
However, its responsibility was to stop everyone from entering the mountaintop, which was why it did not attack Li.
“This eagle would not let us enter. We should team up and kill it. Only then we can reach the mountaintop,” Augustine smiled gently and said to everyone around.
All the self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent nodded after they heard what Augustine said.
At the moment, they had a common enemy – the Snow Eagle King. Only by killing it could they obtain the Spring of Life.
“God of Light’s Fist.”
“Pearl of Thunder God.”
“Army of the Undead.”
“Crown of Wisdom.”
“Trident of Poseidon.”
Augustine, Uranus, Augustus, Uris, and Poseidon all unleashed their strongest attacks towards the Snow Eagle King.
The Snow Eagle King shot a bright laser light towards them, and the battle began.
As the godly guardian beast of the Snow God Mountain, the Eagle King was extremely powerful. It could easily defeat everyone in a one-on-one fight, even the successor of the God of Light – Augustine. In fact, it had the force of the God of Life that was no weaker than the God of Light.
However, a pack of wolves would always be stronger than a lone tiger. No matter how powerful the eagle was, it couldn’t fight against the bunch of powerful successors of Sky Gods.
Boom!
Countless attacks directly hit on the Eagle King’s body. The Eagle King kept moving backward and spat a mouthful of blood, as it was heavily injured.
“Go to hell!” Augustine shouted angrily and released the ‘God of Light’s Fist.’ The attack turned into a giant fist and smashed into the eagle’s chest, crushing its heart while its movements became dull due to its injuries.
Baam!
The Snow Eagle King fell from the sky onto the snow, spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
The Snow Eagle King – dead.
“What? The Eagle King was killed!” The people around were shocked as they saw the death of the Eagle King.
They never would’ve thought that the powerful Eagle King would be killed. Augustine’s ‘God of Light Fist’ was truly powerful.
At that moment, everyone looked at Augustine with respect, and also a hint of fear.
Chapter 1160: Snow Eagle King Faking Death
Boom.
After Augustine killed the Snow Eagle King, his body shot up into to air and flew towards the mountaintop of the Snow God Mountain.
Everyone else followed him to the mountaintop as well.
All these self-cultivators from the Tiger Continent wanted to obtain the Spring of Life; therefore they all rushed towards the mountaintop, except for Qingfeng Li who stayed in the same position.
Qingfeng Li had the strongest spirit strength out of all. He was the first to notice that the Snow Eagle King was still alive. Even those snow demonic snakes could not be killed so easily, so how could the Snow Eagle King die like this?
Qingfeng Li smiled gently and walked towards the Snow Eagle King, looking at it quietly.
“Stop pretending to be dead, I know you are still alive,” Qingfeng Li looked at the Eagle King and said.
However, the Eagle King remained motionless on the ground, with no breath or heartbeat, just like a dead body.
“Snow Eagle King, I will chop your head off, grill your body, and eat it if you continue to pretend you are dead,” Qingfeng Li sneered and threatened the Eagle King.
Even with Li’s threat, the Eagle King still remained on the ground motionless.
“Boss, maybe this eagle is really dead. I can’t sense any signs of life from it,” Daoist pointed at the Eagle King and said.
Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, “There are many techniques that can allow you to hide your vital signals. Sometimes what you see isn’t necessarily real.”
Daoist nodded and agreed with Qingfeng’s comment, as he thought it was very reasonable.
In the Dragon Continent, there was a man who practiced the Black Tortoise’s Techniques. This man could hide his own life force and pretend to be a dead guy.
Deng!
Qingfeng Li withdrew his Golden Light Sword as the sharpness of the sword split the air. Qingfeng Li slashed towards the Eagle King and was about to decapitate its head.
Right at that crucial moment, a bright white energy veil appeared on top of the Eagle King’s head and blocked Qingfeng’s attack.
At the same time, the Snow Eagle King opened its eyes. Its life force started recovering. However, it was still extremely weak.
“How did you know I am still alive?” the Snow Eagle King asked Qingfeng Li with a gloomy face.
Qingfeng Li smiled gently and said, “Augustine was powerful, but you are the godly guardian beast of the Snow God Mountain. I didn’t think you could be killed so easily.”
After hearing what Qingfeng Li said, the Eagle King was shocked. It never would’ve thought that Qingfeng Li would be smart enough to see through its fake death.
“Snow Eagle King, you are the godly guardian beast of this place. You should know where the Spring of Life is. Take us there,” Qingfeng Li said with a gentle smile.
The Eagle King shook its head and directly denied Li’s request.
With the Snow Eagle King’s rejection, Qingfeng Li pulled out a feather from its body. It started bleeding all over the ground.
Black Puppy and the Cat of Fate rolled their eyes as they saw the action. Qingfeng Li did the same thing to them – pulling out their hair if they didn’t comply.
The Eagle King’s feather got pulled out, and it started to scream in pain. “This Qingfeng Li is such an a**hole, how dare he pull out my feather,” the Snow Eagle King thought.
“Take us to the Spring of Life. Or else I will pull out all your feather,” Qingfeng Li threatened the Eagle King with a cold smile.
The Eagle King’s face became angry and frightened as it heard Qingfeng’s comment. The Eagle King valued its feathers very much. Without the protection of its feathers, it could die instantly when exposed to the harsh weather of Snow God Mountain.
“I will take you there,” the Eagle King nodded and said.
With the Eagle King’s lead, Qingfeng Li and his people arrived at the mountaintop of the Snow God Mountain.
Qingfeng Li encountered a few demonic beasts on their way to the mountaintop. However, the beasts did not attack, seeing the Snow Eagle King by their side.
The mountaintop of Snow God Mountain had a small spring, that was around 20 square meters big.
The color of the spring water was green, not blue or white, and was filled with the aura of life.
Green represented life, vitality, and growth.
“Boss, is this the Spring of Life?” Daoist pointed at the spring and asked.
Several clumps of grass grew around the spring, filled with vitality.
It is important to mention that the peak of the Snow God Mountain was eight thousand meters above ground, with a temperature of negative 50-degrees Celsius. Normal plants and demonic beasts couldn’t survive here, so everyone was shocked by the fact that the grass clumps were able to grow healthily around the spring.
Qingfeng Li had never seen the Spring of Life before. He turned around and asked, “Snow Eagle King, this green spring water is the Spring of Life?”
The Snow Eagle King nodded and said, “Yes, this is it.”
The Eagle King’s eyes moved slightly when he replied. Nobody noticed the tiny movement, not even Qingfeng Li, except the Cat of Fate.
The Cat of Fate was the Ancient Godly Beast of the Alps Mountains. However, after the Ancient War on Earth, its strength was weakened. The Cat of Fate’s face slightly changed as it stared at the Snow Eagle King.
The Cat of Fate was familiar with the Snow God Mountain as it has been here before. Last time it was here, everything was white, covered with heavy snow and there was a small white spring.
Weirdly, a green spring was now on the mountaintop, carrying an odd and mysterious feeling.
As the Cat of Fate saw Qingfeng Li moving towards the Spring of Life, it opened its mouth and said, “Wait!”
Qingfeng Li stopped and asked, ” Cat of Fate, didn’t you say the Spring of Life is on the mountaintop? Why are you stopping me?”
The Cat of Fate shook its head and said to Qingfeng Li telepathically, “I have seen the Spring of Life. The water should be white in color, like the snow, not green.”
“Cat of Fate, could the color of the spring water change?”
“Impossible. The Spring of Life can only be in white color. Also, it has the ability to move. It was here in the past, but that doesn’t mean it is still going to be here.”
“So, you are saying this is a fake Spring of Life?” Qingfeng Li frowned his eyebrows and asked the Cat of Fate telepathically.
The Cat of Fate nodded.
Qingfeng Li stopped moving forward and started thinking.
“Qingfeng Li, the Spring of Life is right in front of you. Why did you stop?” the Snow Eagle King said after it saw Qingfeng Li stopped.
Qingfeng Li coldly smiled and stared at the Eagle King. Between the Eagle King and the Cat of Fate, Qingfeng Li chose to believe in the Cat of Fate.
If this green spring water wasn’t the Spring of Life, there must be something unimaginably dangerous about it
Chapter 1161: The Fake Spring of Life
Qingfeng Li stared at Snow Eagle King with such coldness that its feathers stood up in fear.
The Snow Eagle King was surprised that this self-cultivator from the East didn’t believe him.
Shwoooop…
Suddenly, a huge crowd of self-cultivators appeared, flying towards them.
Leading the pack was Augustine, Uranus, Augustus, Uris, and Poseidon, with other self-cultivators close behind.
“That’s the Spring of Life, go for it!” a blonde self-cultivator shouted as he advanced forward at full speed.
“I’ll kill anyone who fights with me for the Spring of Life,” Augustine said coldly.
He waved his palm, gathering immense energy. With one swift movement, he slapped the blonde self-cultivator away, shattering the poor guy into a million pieces.
The Tiger Continent’s self-cultivators were furious at Augustine’s arrogance – they couldn’t believe that he would kill other people just to take the Spring of Life for himself.
However, they did not have the guts to curse at him. Augustine was the Pope’s godson, and he was very strong; challenging him would be a one-way ticket to death.
“Bahahahah, the Spring of Life is mine, no one can steal it from me!” Augustine laughed arrogantly.
His body moved towards the Spring of Life like a speeding arrow; he landed above the Spring of Life in the blink of an eye.
Holding out his right hand, he reached towards the spring and grabbed at the water.
However, as his hand touched the green waters, Augustine let out a gruesome shriek.
“Ahhh! That really hurt,” Augustine exclaimed as he retreated. The flesh on his right palm had been burnt off, his pale-white bones exposed. It was horrifying.
The green spring water was actually corrosive, and it burned right through Augustine’s flesh and blood.
People’s expressions changed as they saw what happened; Augustine was the strongest of the group, and he was a cultivator of the Heavenly Cultivation Technique – imagine how malicious the water was if it had the power to erode right through his palm!
Whoosh!
A green vine emerged from the waters just as Augustine tried to escape.
Thorns as thick as arms stemmed from the vines, tangling Augustine within it in a split second.
He struggled but could not free himself from the green vines.
Augustine’s right hand had eroded, but his left hand was still intact – with his left fist, he conjured the God of Light’s Fist, and aimed it at the green vines.
The fist was capable of shattering a mountain, yet when it hit the green vines, it did nothing but leave a small scratch.
The thorns dug into Augustine’s skin as they suckled at his blood.
“Father, Uranus, please come save me!” he shouted in horror.
Augustine was filled with regret – this wasn’t the Spring of Life, it was the Spring of Death!
The other Tiger Continent’s self-cultivators looked at Augustine in fear as they retreated.
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed as well; a strong energy exuded from the green vines that shook him to the core.
“Cat, do you know what this is?” Qingfeng Li asked with a frown on his face.
The Cat of Fate replied, “Yes I do, this is the Green Vine of a Thousand Demons, a creature at the fifth level of the Spirit King Realm. It’s a demonic vine of the God of Destruction, and it sucks the blood and flesh of human beings.”
Qingfeng Li nodded; he had heard of the God of Destruction – it was a powerful Sky God and the enemy of the God of Life. The God of Life created lives, while the God of destruction destroyed and killed.
How did the green vine of a thousand devils appear atop the mountain of the God of Life? Qingfeng Li wondered in surprise.
Meanwhile, Augustus and Uranus attacked the green vines with all their might.
Bam! Smack! Crack!
Countless attacks were heaved at the green vines, knocking it heavily and cracking its thorns.
Augustus had in hand the Book of the Dead, and Uranus had the Pearl of the Thunder God; both were deadly to the green vine of a thousand devils.
Unleashing lightning bolts, the Pearl of the Thunder God cracked and roared, exuding terrifying energy. It blew up the vines’ surface until finally, it retreated back into the waters.
A concerned Augustus helped Augustine back onto the ground, “Son, are you alright?”
Rolling his eyes, Augustine answered, “Father, of course I’m not alright. My right hand is gone.”
Augustus shook his head, “Don’t worry, once we find the real Spring of Life, it will be able to heal your hand.”
Augustine’s face lit up for a moment, but immediately dimmed as he shook his head, “Father, this spring is a fake, and we have no idea where the real Spring of Life is.”
Augustus smiled faintly, “We don’t know, but the Cat of Fate does.”
Augustus stood up and walked towards the Cat of Fate – he knew that it was the key to finding the Spring of Life and saving his son’s hand.
“Old man, what are you looking at me for?” the Cat of Fate asked.
“Because I want to capture you of course.” Augustus snickered.
The Cat of Fate hid behind Qingfeng Li immediately upon hearing this, exclaiming, “This old man wants to capture me, go deal with him!”
Qingfeng Li nodded; he knew the cat was using him as its lackey, but he needed to help because only the cat could help him find the Spring of Life.
“Move out of the way,” Augustus said to Qingfeng Li.
“Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?” Qingfeng Li responded scornfully.
Augustus’s face darkened upon hearing Qingfeng Li’s remarks. He was the leader of the Sky Gods Alliance, did Qingfeng Li have a death wish?
“Book of the Dead,” Augustus bellowed as he took out a black book.
The first creature to come out of the book was the crocodile patriarch; like a zombie, it had an expressionless face and dead eyes.
Qingfeng Li was shocked at the sight of the crocodile patriarch, as he thought that he had killed it a few months ago; had he been revived?
Camilla explained as if she understood his shock, “My master, that isn’t the real crocodile patriarch, it’s just an undead corpse.
Chapter 1162: Down into the Hole
An undead corpse?
Qingfeng Li’s expression changed at Camilla’s words. He knew what these things were. They were like the ghosts of the East, which were also undead creatures.
However, the ghosts were spiritual bodies while this undead corpse was just the flesh body without the soul.
The crocodile patriarch may be an extremely powerful undead corpse, but not to Qingfeng Li.
With one screech, the crocodile patriarch charged at Qingfeng Li, creating strong wind currents behind it.
Qingfeng Li attacked with his right fist, which formed a giant fist shadow, and split the crocodile patriarch in half as it hit.
However, no blood came out of the crocodile patriarch as it was undead. Before Qingfeng Li could make his next move, the body became one again.
Disappointed, Qingfeng Li thought that he could kill the crocodile with a wave of his fist, but that was obviously impossible. It was an undead creature; that’s why it recovered so fast.
Qingfeng Li couldn’t kill the crocodile patriarch, but the patriarch couldn’t kill Qingfeng Li either.
Seeing that the dead spirit didn’t work on Qingfeng Li, Augustus took out the Book of the Dead again and summoned several other undead.
The spider patriarch, the snake patriarch, the black dragon patriarch…a part of the ten great patriarchs under the Heavenly allegiance, they were all people that Qingfeng Li killed, and were now summoned back by Augustus using the Book of the Dead.
These undead were malicious and powerful; Qingfeng Li drew out his Golden Light Sword as they charged at him. Creating a gold sword energy, he slashed hard at the patriarchs.
Swish, chop…
He chopped off the patriarchs’ arms, legs, and waists. However, they all recovered within the blink of an eye like nothing happened.
“Qingfeng Li, all the people I’ve summoned, are undead, you won’t be able to kill them,” Augustus sneered and said.
The Book of the Dead was a book the God of the Dead used to possess, so the undead summoned out of the book were all extremely powerful.
“Hey, you won’t be able to kill undead using your martial techniques, you have to use fire,” the sound of the Fire Dragon echoed throughout Qingfeng Li’s head.
The Fire Dragon was an Eastern godly dragon from the ancient era. It was a powerful creature that controlled the flames of the heavens and earth. The Fire Dragon knew that only fire could kill the dead spirits because it had done so before many times.
“Fire Dragon Elder, I can only use my golden flames twice consecutively, and won’t be able to use it again until 6 hours later,” Qingfeng Li replied.
Golden flames were powerful, but normally it could only be used twice every 12 hours. Using its powers was both physically and mentally consuming.
“Don’t worry, I can lend you my flames,” the Fire Dragon’s voice echoed back.
Qingfeng Li’s face lit with joy at the Fire Dragon’s words. The flame controlled by the Fire Dragon was the godly fire of the Eastern self-cultivating world and was capable of burning down everything in the heavens and earth; with its help, killing these dead spirits should be as easy as pie.
In a second, the Fire Dragon separated some of its spiritual flames and injected it into Qingfeng Li’s head.
Qingfeng Li stuck out his right palm, forming a giant ball of red flames – it was just as, if not more powerful than his own golden flames.
The red flames exuded horrifying energy, burning even the air around them up. Finally, the flames flew at the undead, killing them all.
All these undead was dead for real this time, as they disappeared into ashes at this attack and never reappeared.
Augustus’s expression changed when he saw the ashes. The undead minions could not be killed – how did Qingfeng Li do it?
Unwilling to admit defeat, Augustus again summoned more to attack Qingfeng Li; again, the undead minions were burned at Qingfeng Li’s fingertips.
With all his undead minions gone, Augustus’ face dimmed in anger and murderous intent.
“Qingfeng Li is strong, you need to shock him to death with your thunder pearl,” Augustus said to Uranus, who was standing beside him.
Nodding his head at Augustus, he whipped out his Pearl of the Thunder God.
The thunder pearl was made of black pearls, each as big as a fist; it was a powerful weapon that created thunder and lightning.
Balabing balabong…
Dozens of black lightning streaks appeared from the sky; tearing the air apart. They were all aimed at Qingfeng Li’s body with terrifying energy.
Qingfeng Li was cautious – he took out his red thunder pearl and began releasing its energy.
Dozens of red lightning streaks shot out of Qingfeng Li’s thunder pearl, clashing with Uranus’ black ones.
The sky and earth exploded and cracked; ice and rocks shattered, creating countless craters all around the two masters. It seemed as if hell broke loose.
Thunder and lightning possessed horrifying energy, capable of splitting the heavens and chopping the earth.
Boom!
The thunder and lightning hit the top of the mountain, creating giant gaping holes; the green spring waters and the injured vines all fell off the mountaintop.
Everyone around them began falling into the mountains, including Qingfeng Li.
“The mountain is hollow?” Qingfeng Li observed in shock.
More than 8000 meters tall, the Mountain of the Snow God was the Tiger Continent’s tallest mountain – no one would have ever guessed that it was hollow within.
The energy that Qingfeng Li and Uranus released blew up the rocks on the mountain tops, revealing a giant black hole. The secret, hidden from people for millennia, had been uncovered.
Crash!
They continued freefalling down the hole in horror; no one knew where they would land – the end of hell, or the nest of the devil? All they could hear was the wind rushing past their ears.
After a long while, they finally landed.
The inside of the mountain was spacious, and powerful energy soaked through everyone’s bodies. This was the power of life, and everyone felt it. Those who were hurt even began to heal.
“This is amazing,” someone exclaimed. “My injury is healing, that means the Spring of Life is in here!”
Chapter 1163: The Palace of the God of Life
“Look, it’s a palace,” one of the Tiger Continent’s self-cultivators shouted, his finger pointing straight ahead.
Everyone turned their heads towards the same direction; sure enough, there was a white palace, exuding a powerful energy of life.
“My gosh, this is the palace of the God of Life. I never thought that I would have the chance to see it for myself.”
“This is a miracle – I thought that the palace of the God of Life was just a myth, but it isn’t.”
“I swear that the Spring of Life is inside the palace.”
The self-cultivators discussed amongst themselves passionately.
Qingfeng Li’s face reddened with excitement; after this long and arduous search, at last, they found where the Spring of Life was hidden.
He looked at the giant palace: elegant and solemn, made of meteors and crystals.
A beautiful statue of the God of Life stood by the doors of the palace; more than ten meters tall, it was beyond majestic.
The God of Life was well known in the Tiger Continent as one of the Sky Gods that created the heavens and earth. Not many had seen her in person, but most have seen her statue. However, the statue right before them was very different from the ones they’ve usually seen.
When the God of Life was younger, she practiced self-cultivation on the Mountain of the Snow God, and she lived here during that period of time.
Eyes red with anxiety, the Tiger Continent’s self-cultivators began charging towards the palace.
“Boss, let’s head in too, we need to snatch the Spring of Life before the others do,” Daoist said with a frown on his face.
Qingfeng Li shook his head and stopped the others, “Just wait.”
Confused, everyone from the Wolf Fang Team turned their heads towards Qingfeng Li;
They needed the Spring of Life to save Xue Lin, so why was he stopping them?
“This palace is dangerous, I just felt a horrifying energy.” Qingfeng Li said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Black Puppy nodded in agreement, “You’re right, there’s something dangerous in there.”
Not only did Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy feel it, but Sky-Devouring Snake and the Cat of Fate also did too. As extremely powerful creatures, they were all highly sensitive to danger.
It wasn’t until everyone entered the palace did Qingfeng Li begin walking in as well. They trailed behind the others, so they could escape at the first sign of trouble.
It was truly an enormous palace, decorated exquisitely with white pearls and crystals – a few night pearls hung from the walls, shining luminously.
Each night pearl was the size of a fist, making everyone who laid eyes on them sigh in awe.
Some even stuck out their hand and tried to take the night pearls, but the pearls conjured a streak of white light, deflecting them in a flash. A powerful protective array was placed on the night pearls to target potential thieves from stealing them.
All the treasures within the palace were protected by an array formation; no one could take anything, no matter how much they wanted to, leaving people were shocked and angry.
The group continued walking forward until they reached a grand hall – the hall was spacious, around 10,000 square meters in size.
A white spring stood in the center of the grand hall; only some water was contained in the spring, but it exuded a strong energy of life. Upon smelling the waters, people felt relaxed and energized.
They began charging at the Spring – this was the legendary Spring of Life.
The fastest of them all was a self-cultivator with long hair, who possessed god level movement techniques. Soaring across the ceiling, he landed beside the Spring in a heartbeat.
However, before anyone had the chance to react, a giant hand that contained horrific power flew out of nowhere and slammed the self-cultivator to death.
Shocked at his death, it wasn’t until then that until people realized there were two people standing by the Spring of Life.
Prior to this, everyone was so focused on the Spring of Life.
Technically, they weren’t people: the one on the right had dark skin, black fur, and a single black horn on his head.
If you look closely, you’ll realize that this one-horned creature was actually a devil from hell.
Camilla and Qingfeng Li’s expression changed at the sight of them – this devil was the one Qingfeng Li injured from before. He had burnt off one of the devil’s arms with Golden Flames, but it grew back.
Across from the one-horned devil stood a man in white; he had a pair of white wings and a handsome face that was cold and arrogant.
His wings were as white, if not purer and whiter, like a swan.
An angel?
Qingfeng Li furrowed his eyebrows in surprise, he never thought that he’d be able to see an angel at a place like this.
Angels were legendary creatures of myth that only existed in heaven, and seeing one on Earth was a truly amazing sight.
Everyone around Qingfeng Li was shocked as well – as the Tiger Continent’s self-cultivators, it was a given that they would know about devils and angels.
They possessed great respect towards the angel and great horror towards the devil.
The self-cultivator killed by the one-horned devil had vanished completely; he wasn’t even left with a body.
“One-horned devil, the Spring of Life is mine,” Tte two-winged angel scoffed arrogantly at the devil.
The God of Life belonged to heaven, so naturally, her treasure, the Spring of Life, belonged to heaven as well.
The people around them began retreating at the sight of them arguing – although the Spring of Life was valuable, it was not as valuable as their lives. No one wanted to stand at the crossfire of the angel and devil’s fight for the Spring of Life.
Qingfeng Li retreated as well – he could feel the power of the angel and devil, as they were a lot more powerful than himself. Qingfeng Li knew that he might not be able to defeat them.
Swoosh!
The one-horned devil waved his fist, which turned into a black fist shadow, hurling himself at the two-winged angel.
This black fist was extremely powerful. Tearing up space and air, it created a giant, horrific hole.
The two-winged angel would not admit defeat; he swung his fist as well, creating a giant white fist shadow, exuding a power that could shake the heavens and earth.
When the two fist shadows clashed, it created a giant bang that shook everyone and everything around them.
Thankfully, the palace of the God of Life was protected by a powerful array, or else it would have blown up to pieces
