Sun Zhe lay like a slab of mud in front of the stone door, barely alive, his eyes almost blacked out from the pain, nearly suffocating.
"Damn... What kind of celestial dagger is this, that just one stab hurts so much?"
At this moment, he felt countless tiny blades crazily swirling inside his body, wreaking havoc on his internal organs.
The spiritual power attached to the dagger was indeed bizarre, clinging on persistently like a lethal poison once it entered the body.
Outside the barrier.
Master Huang’s mouth curved slightly upwards, eyes filled with schadenfreude as he looked at Sun Zhe, "Kid, you brought this on yourself. Even if you got inside ahead of me, you’ll just end up as a dead dog by the roadside."
In his viewpoint, Sun Zhe was as good as dead, because he had great confidence in his precious dagger.
Sun Zhe ignored him, took a deep breath, and with excruciating effort, sat up, looking at his lower leg which had lost its left foot, filled with dread.
Earlier, when the hole in the barrier was closing, his left foot was unfortunately caught and severed by the barrier that closed.
"Compared to this bastard’s dagger, the barrier is more terrifying."
Little Dragon Girl’s voice echoed in his mind, "No wonder it’s a restrictive barrier left by the dragon race ancestors, able to repair itself even after being broken. But speaking of which, this brass pestle is also quite remarkable."
Sun Zhe sucked in a cold breath and said, "When the barrier closed in an instant, I didn’t even feel my foot being cut off."
Little Dragon Girl urged, "Okay, okay, it’s not such a big deal. Hurry up and go find the treasure, who knows if those two dogs will go out and call for reinforcements; it’ll be troublesome if too many people show up."
Sun Zhe didn’t dare to hesitate, immediately slapped the ground with his palms and bounced up, his wounds instantly oozing with frothy white.
Under the shocked gaze of Master Huang and the woman in the black dress outside the barrier wall, Sun Zhe’s severed left foot began to regenerate, flesh and bone reshaping.
"Kid, you are..."
Master Huang’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Sun Zhe took out a new pair of shoes from the ring space and put them on, looking at Master Huang with a half-smiler, "Had I not been in a hurry to get inside just now, I’d really want to play with you for a while. This dagger of yours, I’ll remember it."
With that, he turned around and used the brass pestle to break open the stone door in front, his figure flashing and then disappearing from sight outside the barrier wall.
"Boom!"
Furious, Master Huang punched the barrier wall hard, gritted his teeth, and said, "Miss Wang, hurry up and call people from outside; I’ll continue breaking the formation. This kid must not be allowed to get ahead."
"Understood, be careful Master Huang!"
...
Just after entering the stone door, Sun Zhe felt an immense pressure like a substantial force fall upon him, his steps involuntarily heavy.
Looking around, he discovered it was unexpectedly a starry sky!
Everywhere all around was a deep and profound endless starry sky, stars dotting the expanse, making Sun Zhe feel like he had entered cosmic space, inciting a sense of insignificance.
A silver light suddenly flew out from the ring on his hand, transforming into a graceful black-skirted figure appearing beside him.
Sun Zhe glanced at the stunning girl beside him and asked, "Sister Long, where have we come now?"
Little Dragon Girl furrowed her eyebrows slightly, releasing divine sense to observe all around, and said, "This space should be an illusionary space; everything you see is just an illusion created by the array."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe stomped his foot, marveling, "Clearly, it’s a starry sky below my feet, yet it feels like walking on solid ground; this array is truly incredible!"
"But Sister Long, there’s absolutely nothing here, not even a strand of hair."
Little Dragon Girl suddenly looked up, "The treasure we’re searching for should be there."
As she spoke, she clenched her right fist, secretly gathering power, then suddenly threw a punch upward under Sun Zhe’s puzzled gaze.
A thunderous sound rang out!
Her violent fist force formed a white ring in the void, booming away with invisible thunder, seeming even to crack the space.
Sun Zhe’s heart sank, secretly exclaiming that this must be the true Dragon Intent Fist.
"Break!"
The fist force was kneaded tightly by some power, even after rising over a hundred meters up, it remained compacted, precisely striking some invisible hard object.
Sun Zhe hadn’t reacted yet when he heard the sound of crystal shattering, and his eardrums stung, quickly covering his ears.
Moments later.
When he looked up again, he was stunned by a shocking sight.
"That’s..."
In the starry sky created by the illusionary array, floated two giant beast corpses!
Sun Zhe instantly recognized them as a giant dragon and a giant fish.
The dragon corpse coiled, like a hill.
The giant fish lay across the void, like a skyscraper.
The visual impact alone caused Sun Zhe’s mind to tremble violently.
The two Great Demons, even as corpses, still emitted a terrifying aura!
"Sister Long, are those the ancestors of Henggong Fish and the True Dragon?"
Little Dragon Girl nodded gently, didn’t speak, focusing on the center between the two Great Demon corpses.
Sun Zhe followed her gaze, suddenly finding an enormous egg about the size of a water jar floating between the two bodies.
The egg appeared as crystalline as a polished crystal, diffusing strange lights and colors, exuding a touch of ancient mystery, its content uncertain.
After observing for a moment, Little Dragon Girl said, "Looks like what those two Great Demons were fighting for back then was this egg."
"What kind of egg is this?"
Little Dragon Girl: "If I’m not mistaken, this egg is the embodiment of the spiritual vein itself, which we’re looking for. Xiao Zhezi, wait, I’ll go get it."
"Alright, Sister Long!"
With a burst of power in her legs, Little Dragon Girl leapt straight up like a released arrow.
Sun Zhe filled with anticipation, began imagining some rosy scenes of the future.
Unexpectedly, just as Little Dragon Girl was about to approach the giant egg, a deafening roar echoed from the void, accompanied by an overwhelming force quaking.
Only hearing Little Dragon Girl let out a scream, her delicate body fell like a meteor, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Sister Long!"
Sun Zhe panicked, quickly running towards Little Dragon Girl.
In the next moment, without any warning, a sharp claw appeared ahead in the void and instantly opened up his chest.
Sun Zhe spat blood, flew backward, and fell heavily to the ground, resembling a heap of shattered flesh, but in mere seconds, he flipped over and got up, the opened chest swiftly healing.
He cautiously surveyed the surroundings, "Sister Long, what was that?"
On the other side, Little Dragon Girl got up too, cautiously surveying all around, her tone heavy, "Xiao Zhezi, it seems this isn’t an opportunity we can covet. We have to find a way to retreat."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s heart sank, he did not hesitate, slowly retreating.
Just then, tens of meters ahead, light and shadow fluctuated, and a crack opened in the void, through which two claws stretched and parted the crack, as an all-golden giant dragon emerged and coiled in the void.
Seeing this, Little Dragon Girl’s body trembled, instantly feeling pressure, she quickly retreated.
Sun Zhe stared at the giant dragon, trembling all over, and asked, "Is the dragon alive?"
Little Dragon Girl shook her head, saying, "It’s a spiritual body manifested by the divine sense left by this Dragon Race elder, probably to guard the egg."
Sun Zhe asked, "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Retreat if we don’t want to die!"
Sun Zhe turned around immediately and ran.
Little Dragon Girl quickly followed.
"Boom——!"
Just as the two were nearing the exit, thinking they could escape, a mass of golden-red light suddenly descended from above, blocking their path.
The terrifying energy stirred up a violent whirlwind, in an instant both were blown backward.
Sun Zhe steadied himself mentally, looking up, and was shocked to discover it was a big fish.
"Oh no, another one?!"
"..."
