Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 191: The Terrifying Golden Humanoid Creature
"No good, it’s an Illusion Technique!"
A thousand years ago, he had suffered greatly from such techniques.
Big Black Cat’s eyes flashed. Without hesitation, he activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, a technique he was just beginning to comprehend.
Fight illusion with illusion.
With the operation of this Divine Skill, a peculiar force instantly emanated from the depths of Big Black Cat’s eyes, like a tide extinguishing a roaring flame. The Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye promptly shattered the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s Illusion Technique.
Seeing the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s Illusion Technique crumble, Big Black Cat laughed heartily in his mind, immediately activated the Teleportation Boots, transformed into a black streak of light, and vanished.
"How could this be?"
The Nine-tailed Fox Demon roared in mid-air, her face reflecting utter disbelief. Although her cultivation base was suppressed, she still had deep confidence in her Pupil Technique Divine Power.
Unwilling to accept this, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon immediately chased after the direction in which the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat had fled. A thousand years ago, the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat had been defeated by her. This time, she would ensure the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat became her defeated foe once more.
Big Black Cat navigated the dark, winding tunnels, flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before finally stopping.
Grinning, Big Black Cat held up the palm-sized golden Eternal Life Immortal Grass.
"Big Brother!" Cat Bao’er called out affectionately from the side, her eyes fixed on the Eternal Life Immortal Grass.
"What are you up to? Is your bottom itching for a spanking again?" Big Black Cat abruptly raised the Eternal Life Immortal Grass high, staring vigilantly at Cat Bao’er.
"Big Brother, don’t misunderstand. I have no designs on the Eternal Life Immortal Grass..." Cat Bao’er quickly shrugged, explaining.
"Then shut your mouth!" Big Black Cat ordered authoritatively, then turned to study the Eternal Life Immortal Grass.
The palm-sized Eternal Life Immortal Grass bore four leaves. Each leaf exhibited a faint golden hue and emitted an indescribable celestial radiance. A vigorous life essence wafted from the four leaves; even a light sniff made one feel invigorated and refreshed.
Big Black Cat muttered to himself.
After speaking, he quickly deposited the Eternal Life Immortal Grass into his Storage Ring. He had already promised Uncle Ma, so he naturally couldn’t go back on his word.
Watching this, Ye Yun silently nodded in approval. Big Black Cat was indeed loyal and principled. That he chose to save the first Eternal Life Immortal Grass was somewhat unexpected for Ye Yun.
Cat Bao’er was also taken aback when she saw Big Black Cat put away the Eternal Life Immortal Grass, but she said nothing. After all, she had already declared she wouldn’t touch the Eternal Life Immortal Grass.
RUSTLE, RUSTLE, RUSTLE!
The sound of Ghost Lice rose around them once again.
Big Black Cat’s expression changed instantly. Hastily grabbing Cat Bao’er, they took to the air. Transforming into a black streak of light, they disappeared into another deep tunnel.
A golden humanoid figure suddenly phased out from the wall and, extending its fist towards the black light, smashed down hard.
"What on earth is this?" Big Black Cat was taken aback and hurriedly placed the Black Shield in front of him.
BOOM!
The golden fist slammed onto the Black Shield, issuing a thunderous bang, and Big Black Cat was blasted back by a powerful force. However, the golden figure flickered and vanished back into the wall.
Not daring to stay, Big Black Cat quickly vanished from the corridor, enduring the tumultuous sensation in his guts.
He fled for another moment.
After confirming his surroundings were safe, Big Black Cat finally landed.
"Cat Bao’er, that golden creepy thing that attacked me earlier, did you get a good look at what it was?" Big Black Cat asked, his eyebrows furrowed.
Cat Bao’er’s delicate body trembled, her face pale. "I saw it, Big Brother. I can’t believe we’ve encountered the most terrifying golden humanoid creature in the Nine Soul Underground Palace..."
Hearing Cat Bao’er’s words, Big Black Cat’s heart skipped a beat. He muttered to himself,
"Yes, Big Brother. This type of golden humanoid creature rarely appears, but it’s incredibly powerful. I heard many Cultivators get killed by a single punch..." Cat Bao’er said, her heart pounding with fear.
"Hm." Big Black Cat grimly nodded. Recalling the might of that punch, he had indeed felt an indescribably vast strength emanating from it. Luckily, he had the Black Shield Uncle Ma had given him. This shield, with its unimaginable defensive power, had blocked the golden humanoid creature’s strange attack. If he hadn’t had this shield, that golden humanoid creature’s punch might have cost him his life.
Thinking about it now, he could feel chills running down his spine, and his face showed the relief of someone who had narrowly escaped. This Nine Soul Underground Palace was truly terrifying. No wonder stronger Cultivators were so reluctant to enter. Those lucky enough to survive must have had the luck of ages.
Cat Bao’er looked at the Black Shield in Big Black Cat’s paw and marveled, "Big Brother, this Black Shield of yours is truly an incredible treasure!"
Big Black Cat puffed out his chest proudly, glanced around, waved his paw, and said loudly, "Let’s go! We continue our search for the Eternal Life Immortal Grass!"
"Okay!" Cat Bao’er hurriedly agreed, and the two continued on their journey.
...
Within Big Black Cat’s mind, Ye Yun’s eyes glinted, a faint, composed smile on his face.
Since this wisp of his Primordial Spirit hadn’t ventured out, Ye Yun, based on his current observations, deduced that there was indeed a Cultivator at or above the True God Realm within the Nine Soul Underground Palace. However, Cultivators of the True God Realm generally couldn’t live for so long. The Nine Soul Underground Palace had existed on the Cangnan Continent for hundreds of thousands of years. By this estimation, there should be at least one Divine Sovereign Realm Cultivator inside.
This thought made Ye Yun suspicious. A Cultivator of the Divine Sovereign Realm was considered powerful and respected even in the Divine Land; why would such a being come to a small place like the Cangnan Continent? And why go to the trouble of creating the Nine Soul Underground Palace...?
Ye Yun’s curiosity was increasingly piqued.
