Chapter 112 - Saint Ming
Even though the beast's strength might only be on par with a Spiritual Lord's first stage, still many Spiritual Lords chose to avoid it.
No one knows what's in the tunnel. Although the tunnels guarded by more powerful beasts may have more treasures hidden within, the dangers that lie within there are definitely more.
Some people believed that they were routes reserved for Sovereigns.
Qin Tian had already found the whereabouts of the object, but he was not sure of the route to the location of the object.
But since it was the most precious treasure in the tomb, it must also be in the most dangerous location.
Roar...
The beast guarding the tunnel roared at him as he approached it.
The roar of the beast was so loud that it shook the place. The shocked people then turned their gazes towards him.
"Who is he?" They wonder.
Because he covered his head with the hood of his robe, so no one could see his face. If his face were to be revealed, some of the people there would definitely recognize him as some of them were from the provincial capital and had witnessed the competition in the Dragon Palace.
But even though they didn't know who he was now, his actions made them choose to divide their attention to pay attention to him. It was clearly an act that was detrimental to them as there were currently many beasts attacking them.
However, they were quickly taken aback.
A golden colored sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he casually slashed the sword at the beast.
There was nothing to link the sword to the previous golden light because it didn't emit any aura. Moreover, no one knew that the golden light earlier came from a sword.
But,
Xiu...
The sword didn't even hit the beast's body, but a slash from the sword caused the beast's body to instantly split in two.
Qin Tian did not wait for their reaction. After splitting the beast's body, he immediately jumped into the tunnel guarded by the beast.
Like the others, he also smashed the tunnel door as soon as he entered it.
Brukk....
People reacted immediately when they saw the collapsed tunnel.
"Oh, he must be a Sovereign."
"Sovereign? Have the Sovereigns arrived yet?"
"No," someone suddenly thought of the attack that shattered the energy barrier a while ago. "He, he might be that person."
That person's words immediately shocked the crowd.
A Spiritual Lord then said; "Maybe. But even though I can't see his face, I can feel that he's very young."
...
The tunnel was not very deep.
After a while, Qin Tian arrived at a crypt.
There he found over 50 beasts and three of them even had Sovereign realm cultivation.
He had expected that there would be some kind of test behind the tunnel, but the existence of three Sovereign stage beasts was still quite a shock to him. After all, there were several such tunnels, and if each of them had three Sovereign stage beasts, then that Saint Ming was truly extremely rich.
The beasts in the tomb weren't actually real living beings, they were created from spiritual energy, but making so many obviously required a lot of resources.
Qin Tian wondered if there was anything good in the tomb other than the thing he was looking for.
Roar... Roar... Roar...
The beasts immediately charged towards him right after he appeared there. Luckily now his spiritual energy was fully recovered, otherwise, even he couldn't face so many of them.
Whooss...
He slashed the golden sword in his hand. Golden light shone from the sword, forming an enormous sword shadow. It instantly cut into the bodies of the beasts that tried to attack him.
After that, he released his nine divine symbols.
As his strength surged, he instantly flew towards one of the Sovereign level beasts.
The other beasts that tried to block his path were blown away by the gusts of wind caused by his flight.
That Sovereign level beast immediately charged forward the moment it saw him fly towards him. It's a fire monkey. The feathers on its body were made of flames.
Even though there was a power limiting pressure in the dungeon, the fire ape's body was still enormous.
Roar...
It roared at him, and it then waved its palm at him. Flames shot up from its palm, and it tried to drown him.
But,
Whooss... Whooss...
Purple and black light shone from his body. The two lights then formed an energy shield that protected him.
Not to mention touching it, the flames couldn't even touch the energy shield.
The ape realized that its fire could not touch its enemy, it then sent its huge fist at him.
"Hmph," Qin Tian snorted.
Seeing the ape's fist, he also sent his fist.
An enormous iron dragon shadow appeared behind him as his fist moved. It was ten times bigger than the ape. And the shadows this time were clearer than before.
Roar...
It roared at the ape. The dragon's roar caused the ape's body to tremble and it even slipped and almost fell. The ape's fist finally fell in another direction.
After roaring, the dragon also sent its fist, it followed Qin Tian's movement.
Only the dragon fist was nearly as big as the ape's body.
Bang...
The fist knocked the ape to the ground. Under the blow of that dragon fist, the ape's body instantly shattered and it died instantly.
After the ape died, a ball of white light suddenly shot out from the ape's body. The ball of light flew towards him.
Qin Tian picked up the ball of light and found a scroll inside. It turned out to be a spirit level martial technique.
Martial techniques acquired through challenges could be used without having to buy them, but it was only a low level spirit martial technique, he had too many such techniques in his head, so he didn't really care. He stored the scroll into the storage ring and he then flew towards the other beasts.
The death of one of their leaders did not frighten the other beasts, they continued to roar and charge towards him.
He then took out his bow. He drew the bowstring without putting an arrow in the bow, but as soon as he let go of the bowstring he was drawing, dozens of silver arrows suddenly shot from the bow.
Whooss... Whooss... Whooss...
Each of them then flew in a different direction. They all have their own targets.
Even though they were very small, but as soon as they penetrated the bodies of those beasts, their bodies exploded instantly.
It only took one draw of the bow for him to exterminate all Spiritual Lord stage beasts. Now only two Sovereign stage beasts remained. The two remaining beasts were also apes, but they were the water ape and the wind ape. Their strength was no different from the fire ape. Qin Tian casually threw two lightning lotuses at them.
The two lightning lotuses instantly engulfed them. Before the two lotuses had even disappeared, two balls of light suddenly flew out from within them. When the two lotuses disappeared, the bodies of the two apes also disappeared. Not even their ashes remained.
Of course, he was able to kill them all in no time because he unleashed all his strength. With the support of two divine symbols, his current strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary peak Sovereign.
Right after they died, the crypt suddenly shook. The crypt walls began to crack very quickly. From the crack in the cracked wall, Qin Tian saw sunlight entering the crypt.
The place is a bit strange. Qin Tian who was feeling impatient finally sent his fist against the cracked wall.
Boom...
The crypt wall collapsed instantly, and behind the wall, Qin Tian saw a very wide meadow.
It is an independent world.
Qin Tian immediately flew over there.
He looked back and found a mountain behind him. Now he realized that a while ago he was inside that mountain. After he came out, the mountain began to crumble.
Around that mountain, there were other mountains that looked the same. But he saw no one there.
He guessed the place could only be entered through tunnels guarded by Sovereign stage beasts. As for the other tunnel, it might lead to a different place.
But there were a few things that caught his attention in the meadow. At the end of the meadow, he saw ten giant gates.
One of the gates caught his attention because he could feel what he was looking for from within the gate.
Looking at the gates, he could already guess the destination of the place.
He then flew towards the gates.
As he got closer to the gate, the whole place suddenly shook. Then light shone from the ten gates.
The lights gathered and they then condensed to form a spiritual body.
It was a handsome young man with a cold expression. The moment the young man appeared, his gaze immediately fell on Qin Tian.
Qin Tian also looked at him, and he could feel the displeasure from the man.
"Saint Ming!" He said in a low voice.
The man was clearly Saint Ming but he was only a spiritual remnant.
