"What did this guy go into the mine for? Don’t tell me there’s some other secret under this mine?" Xuan Ye’s face was full of doubt.
"I suspect the intel about the Origin Key appearing here was deliberately leaked by him. The Origin Key most likely isn’t his real goal—what comes next might be what he’s truly after." Xu Nian said.
Xuan Ye nodded. Very likely.
They came here because they were drawn by the mission.
Only on the way did they hear that an Origin Key had appeared here.
They had already found it strange before. Normally the Origin Key only attracts attention when an energy frenzy erupts.
Yet plenty of people got the news even before the energy frenzy.
"Let’s see what he plans to do first. Don’t release your Divine Sense. My Divine Sense is stronger, comparable to a Divine Sovereign—he won’t detect me. If you probe, he’ll sense you immediately." Xu Nian said.
Xuan Ye nodded.
But inwardly he was shocked at how powerful Xu Nian’s Divine Sense was, actually comparable to an early-stage Divine Sovereign.
Could this guy possibly know a Cultivation Method for Divine Sense?
Xu Nian didn’t care what Xuan Ye was thinking. Right now he was fully focused on tracking Cold Crow’s direction.
Cold Crow was going deeper and deeper into the mine’s interior, most likely already about three thousand meters underground, and still pressing forward.
"This guy definitely has a secret." Xu Nian muttered in his heart.
Cold Crow kept moving along the mine passage toward the depths.
But as he traveled, his brows tightened slightly every day.
For some reason, he kept feeling like someone was spying on him.
Yet when he carefully probed his surroundings, he couldn’t find any trace of Divine Sense.
"Could it be a Divine Sovereign Level expert, with Divine Sense so strong I can’t detect it?" Cold Crow muttered inwardly.
Thinking this, he deliberately paused for a moment and shouted behind him, "Which senior is following me? Please, show yourself!"
But after his voice fell, no figure appeared.
"Am I overthinking it? No one’s tailing me, it’s just an illusion?" Cold Crow thought.
Cold Crow lingered for a while longer. After confirming that there really was no one around, he continued deeper.
Xu Nian was a bit surprised too.
This Cold Crow’s perception was quite keen to sense someone probing him.
Fortunately, his own Soul Power was strong enough that even if Cold Crow suspected something, he couldn’t be certain anyone was following him.
Now that they’d concealed their aura, Cold Crow absolutely wouldn’t notice them.
Very quickly, Cold Crow arrived at the deepest part of this mine.
And here, there was actually a hidden Stone Gate.
The Stone Gate was extremely ancient-looking, seemingly containing a very strong Divine Pattern Restriction.
"So it’s a Stone Gate forged from Divine-breaking Stone. No wonder it’s hidden here and no one ever found it." Xuan Ye exclaimed.
At this moment Xu Nian used the Divine Stone to construct an image, letting Xuan Ye observe Cold Crow’s movements as well.
When she saw the Stone Gate, astonishment immediately flashed across her face.
"Divine-breaking Stone? Divine-breaking Stone that can block Divine Soul Power?" Xu Nian said in surprise.
"Yes, this kind of Shi Tou can block Divine Soul Power. Looks like Cold Crow really is hiding a secret." Xuan Ye said.
Next they saw Cold Crow actually open the Stone Gate and walk inside.
"Follow him!"
Xu Nian and Xuan Ye immediately turned into streaks of light and followed.
As soon as he passed through the Stone Gate, Xu Nian felt an extremely fierce aura slam into him.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian instantly activated the Great Gold Yuan Sword Technique and slashed out with a single sword.
"Boom!"
The golden Sword Radiance collided with the icy light sweeping over from ahead, producing a deafening explosion.
"So someone really was tailing me. I didn’t expect it to be two Divine Kings, though." Cold Crow looked at Xu Nian and Xuan Ye and said.
Xu Nian glanced at Cold Crow in front, then swept his eyes around.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
Xuan Ye beside him also widened his eyes.
What shocked them wasn’t that Cold Crow had discovered them, but the scene behind Cold Crow.
This was an independent Small World space.
The space wasn’t large, and there were no buildings.
But in front of them floated an incomparably huge eyeball.
That’s right—an eyeball!
An enormous eyeball hundreds of meters in diameter.
Right now the eyeball was still turning, as if sizing up Xu Nian and Xuan Ye.
From the eyeball, both Xu Nian and Xuan Ye felt an extremely terrifying aura of danger.
"The eyeball of a Peak of God Emperor Level expert?" Xu Nian hurriedly sent a voice transmission.
"Probably not. Even the Peak of God Emperor might not be this strong. The aura on this eyeball has at least the pressure of a Divine Sovereign Peak." Xuan Ye quickly replied.
"Just one eyeball carries Divine Sovereign Peak pressure. Could this guy be a Supreme Level powerhouse?" Xu Nian was inwardly appalled.
"A Supreme is probably out of reach, but at the very least it’s Quasi-Supreme Level." Xuan Ye answered.
"How could someone of that level be reduced to just an eyeball? Has his body become unable to recover?" Xu Nian wondered.
"Most likely he’s under some sort of restriction. But whatever the reason, we’re in serious trouble." Xuan Ye replied.
Xu Nian fell silent. Xuan Ye was right—they were in trouble.
This eyeball being hidden here was clearly a secret.
Now that they’d discovered this secret, the other side wouldn’t let them leave easily.
He just couldn’t figure out who this eyeball belonged to.
Why was it hidden here?
"Speak. Who are you? You’ve just seen something you shouldn’t have. You should know what fate awaits you next." Cold Crow sneered.
His gaze at Xu Nian and Xuan Ye was like looking at two corpses.
"We’re from the Fighting God Hall. We accepted a mission to kill you. We just didn’t expect your strength to be so different from the intel." Xu Nian said with a smile.
"That intel was leaked by me on purpose. I thought I’d hook some big fish. Didn’t expect it’d only net two little trash fish." Cold Crow sneered, faint disappointment in his eyes.
"So you deliberately lured us here? Whose eyeball is that behind you?" Xu Nian asked.
"You’re not qualified to know that. All you need to know is that soon you’ll become its nourishment." Cold Crow chuckled.
"Nourishment? So the appearance of the Origin Key was also deliberate on your part—you needed more people to die here?" Xu Nian pressed.
"You’re pretty smart. That’s right, the Origin Key was released by us on purpose, and the Emperor Coffin too. There’s only one goal—to make people slaughter each other, so that it grows stronger." Cold Crow said with a light laugh.
"It? Is it your avatar?" Xu Nian glanced at the giant eyeball and speculated.
Cold Crow’s expression changed, his gaze turning sharp as he looked at Xu Nian. "Brat, how do you want to die?"
Seeing Cold Crow’s face change, Xu Nian knew he’d guessed right.
So he continued, "Looks like I was right. If I’m not mistaken, in its previous life this eyeball belonged to a powerhouse. Later you obtained it, devoured the will within, and are trying to refine it into your avatar. Am I right?"
"Enough. You’re courting death!" Cold Crow’s eyes flashed with icy light as he lunged straight at Xu Nian.
An extreme Sword Light cleaved out, containing immensely powerful Origin Talisman force, capable of Destruction of everything.
Xu Nian immediately summoned the Demon-Subduing Pestle, transforming it into a longsword to meet Cold Crow’s attack head-on.
