I Grind to Martial Saint

"Perhaps you guessed right."

"That woman in red... she might really have come from this Taoist Palace."

"Back then, the Profound Celestial Alliance used the unique terrain of Hive Mountain to construct this massive labyrinth."

"And in the deepest part of Hive Mountain, they built this enormous Taoist Palace."

"Putting together the information we had before, they must have been researching something inside the Taoist Palace, and then some kind of accident happened."

Han Yuan pieced together the information he had gathered over the past few days, forming a rough picture of the situation.

"So, are we still going in?"

Ding Zihu was a little lost.

He knew there had to be something even more terrifying than the woman in red hidden here.

"What do you think?"

Han Yuan said softly.

His will had always been firm and unshakeable.

Besides, this gloomy Taoist Palace might even hold secrets about the Chaotic Ancient Era.

"I... I want to go in and see for myself!"

"We went through so much trouble to find a clue about the Profound Celestial Alliance. We can't just give up like this."

"Besides, with that woman in red having gotten out... this Daoist Temple might really have a serious problem."

Ding Zihu said, gritting his teeth.

"Then let's go."

Han Yuan smiled.

Facing the gloomy Daoist Temple, everyone wore extremely tense expressions.

Even Han Yuan drew his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber in advance.

Liao Feng held his bow and arrow, following closely behind Han Yuan and cautiously scanning their surroundings.

The Orange Cat's eyes were also wide, as if it were a little tiger.

But paired with its chubby body, it just looked endearingly clumsy.

As for Ding Zihu, it went without saying. He held the Eight Trigrams Mirror with both hands, watching for any sign of trouble.

After walking for about half a li, they finally arrived at the main gate of the gloomy Daoist Temple.

The plaque was surprisingly intact, and two words could be faintly seen.

They were written in the script of the Chaotic Ancient Era. Ding Zihu subconsciously read them aloud: "Void Palace..."

"That name has a nice ring to it." Han Yuan could still manage a smile.

"I just wonder what's actually hidden inside this Void Palace."

Ding Zihu's expression was grave.

"Who knows..."

Han Yuan said, taking the lead and stepping into the Void Palace.

Beyond the main gate of the Void Palace was an extremely spacious courtyard.

The courtyard's surface was paved with black stone slabs. Many trees had been planted on both sides, but they had long since withered, leaving behind gnarled husks that stood in place like eerie, unknown statues, creating an intense sense of pressure.

In the center of the plaza was an ancient Bronze Incense Burner, a little over a meter tall.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Han Yuan's expression didn't relax in the slightest.

In a gloomy Daoist Temple like this, any sort of bizarre event was possible.

He cautiously approached the Bronze Incense Burner.

The incense burner was quite ancient, engraved with numerous Dao Patterns.

Even though Han Yuan didn't recognize these Dao Patterns, after days of exploration, he knew they were likely the kind the Profound Celestial Alliance always used.

Just as Han Yuan got close to the incense burner, something unexpected happened.

PSSSH!

A large hole suddenly burst open in the incense burner, and a sharp, pitch-black claw shot out, slashing viciously toward Han Yuan.

Han Yuan's eyes turned icy. Instead of swinging his saber, he gathered all his Power, balled his right hand into a fist, and punched forward!

Celestial Spirit Divine Fist!

His fist was covered in Great Demon Fist Aura. Its force was fierce and terrifying, and the air itself seemed to roar and shatter!

BOOM!!!

Fist and claw collided violently!

The giant claw that had shot out from the Bronze Incense Burner was knocked back by Han Yuan's punch.

Even the Bronze Incense Burner itself was sent flying back more than ten meters, toppling over on the black stone slabs.

"ROAR!!!"

A savage and violent roar suddenly erupted from within the incense burner.

The next moment, the Bronze Incense Burner actually sprouted pitch-black arms and legs, and a grotesque, sinister head emerged from within it.

"What is this monster?"

Ding Zihu had never seen such a thing before.

"Its aura... is so similar to that of the woman in red."

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes.

'This incense burner monster and the woman in red must be the same type of being.'

'The only difference is that the woman in red escaped the Void Palace.'

'But this incense burner monster has been trapped here the whole time!'

After sprouting limbs and a head, the incense burner stood a full three or four meters tall. It charged toward Han Yuan with great strides, as if seeking revenge for the earlier blow!

Han Yuan, of course, wasn't about to indulge it. He swung his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with both hands and charged at his opponent.

WHOOSH!

A vicious arc of saber light howled through the air, instantly slicing the incense burner monster's arm to pieces.

But the next moment, the incense burner monster's severed arm rapidly regrew and shot directly toward Han Yuan's neck.

Han Yuan's eyes narrowed, a flash of understanding in them. He suddenly thrust the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber straight forward!

SWISH!

It was like a vicious bird tearing across the sky.

The blade struck the incense burner monster's torso—the incense burner itself.

The arms, legs, and head had all grown out of this one incense burner.

So Han Yuan deduced that the Bronze Incense Burner was its weak point!

PSSSH!

The incense burner monster instantly let out a piercing shriek.

At the same time, Ding Zihu, holding his Eight Trigrams Mirror, shot out a beam of golden light.

The Orange Cat also opened its mouth wide and spat out a ball of crimson flame.

Under the successive attacks, the incense burner monster seemed unable to hold on, crying out continuously.

Then, the incense burner monster suddenly began to swell strangely.

"Run!"

"The monster is going to self-destruct!"

Ding Zihu shouted upon seeing this.

With that, he turned and fled.

The Orange Cat's reaction was also incredibly fast; it turned into a blur and shot away.
