The tomb-guarding beast was fast, but Ye Kunlun’s gaze was always fixed on it.
So, the moment the beast pounced, the Lightning Blade in his hand slashed out without hesitation.
The tomb-guarding beast let out a low growl, knowing the power of Ye Kunlun’s Lightning Blade, and did not dare to confront it head-on.
A dark shadow flickered, and the beast evaded Ye Kunlun’s Lightning Blade once again.
Ye Kunlun sneered, this creature was quite cautious.
After dodging Ye Kunlun’s Lightning Blade, the beast turned into a black lightning bolt, rapidly approaching Ye Kunlun.
Its sharp claws glinted with a dark light, attempting to tear Ye Kunlun apart!
Unfortunately, Ye Kunlun’s Lightning Blade was formidable, and terrifying lightning directly struck the beast’s sharp claws.
Sizzle—
A scorching sensation, and the beast’s claws became somewhat transparent under the lightning!
Roar—
The tomb-guarding beast let out an angry roar, its eyes as large as copper bells filled with endless fury, and a hint of impatience.
Seeing the beast quickly retreat, Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, transforming his Lightning Blade into a bolt of lightning and slashing at it again.
The Lightning Blade erupted with a terrifying aura, and the surrounding air shimmered with the purple light of the Thunder Dan Fire.
The tomb-guarding beast let out low growls, its four limbs restlessly pacing the ground.
“Beast, I’ll send you on your way now!”
Ye Kunlun locked onto the tomb-guarding beast, leaving it no room to escape, and the terrifying Lightning Blade struck the beast directly.
Sizzle—
Sizzle—
Flashes of lightning engulfed the fierce beast.
After a shrill roar, a deep black light emanated from the beast’s body, gradually expelling the lightning power.
“Hmm?”
Ye Kunlun’s brow furrowed, surprised that the tomb-guarding beast, after taking a direct hit from his Lightning Blade, could still retain its soul form!
Moreover, judging by its appearance, it seemed to have become stronger than before.
“So that’s how it is!”
At this moment, Ye Kunlun sensed a strange power, specifically, the power of misfortune!
The power of misfortune emerged from the ground like black mist, flowing along the beast’s limbs into its body, expelling the lightning.
“As expected, the secrets of the Barbarian race are hidden within the temple!”
Ye Kunlun watched the slowly recovering beast with cold eyes, sheathed his Lightning Blade, and crackled lightning in his palm.
The tomb-guarding beast roared at Ye Kunlun, looking at the lightning in his hand.
As it recovered, its black fur began to change rapidly, twisting and deforming.
The next second, a pair of massive wings, like those of a black bat, appeared.
At the same time, the beast’s appearance also transformed, its features contorting into something resembling a giant bat.
Whoosh—
The wings spread out, dozens of meters wide. The evolved tomb-guarding beast’s pupils exuded an evil aura.
With a flap of its wings, the beast soared into the air, fast as lightning, its sharp claws lunging directly towards Ye Kunlun’s head!
Ye Kunlun condensed a palm lightning and threw it directly at the tomb-guarding beast.
“Rumble!”
The palm lightning struck the beast’s incredibly sharp claws!
The two forces collided, emitting a massive, terrifying roar that even shook the black, mysterious temple.
“This beast seems to have developed a slight immunity to lightning!”
The palm lightning struck the tomb-guarding beast, knocking it away, but it didn’t seem to suffer significant damage, the lightning flashing and disappearing on its body.
“A mere soul, under the amplification of the power of misfortune, can actually become immune to lightning!”
Ye Kunlun murmured softly, his curiosity about the temple deepening.
“It’s over!”
Ye Kunlun decided not to toy with the tomb-guarding beast any longer.
His body flickered, and he appeared before the beast out of thin air.
“Sword, come!”
The River of Stars materialized in his hand. Ye Kunlun didn’t hesitate, bringing his sword down towards the beast’s head!
The tomb-guarding beast was momentarily stunned, not expecting the human who had been toying with it moments ago to suddenly move so fast!
However, it had no time to think further!
The River of Stars in Ye Kunlun’s hand split its head open.
Instantly, its body turned into nothingness, its soul scattered!
As the tomb-guarding beast was slain by Ye Kunlun’s sword, a black strand of misfortune power drifted out from its body!
Ye Kunlun reached out, directly grasping the power of misfortune!
Instantly—
Ye Kunlun’s fingers were corroded by the power of misfortune, his skin rapidly turning black and spreading towards his palm!
This strand of misfortune power was countless times stronger than what he had seen from patients with dream-soul syndrome!
He could feel the terrifying power within the misfortune, cold and filled with malevolence!
For a moment, Ye Kunlun felt as if his entire being was like a wilting tree, on the verge of death!
The power of misfortune spread across his palm, encroaching towards his arm.
But at this moment, the power of misfortune seemed to encounter something fearsome and rapidly receded from Ye Kunlun’s arm, returning to his fingertips!
Even Ye Kunlun sensed that the power of misfortune did not wish to linger within his body for even a moment.
Ye Kunlun’s gaze sharpened, and he trapped the power of misfortune within his fingertips. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape!
Then, Ye Kunlun forced out a drop of his vital blood!
Sizzle—
The moment the power of misfortune encountered Ye Kunlun’s vital blood, it seemed to evaporate, disappearing without a trace!
“Only the legendary Golden Scale Blood can suppress the power of misfortune!”
Wei Cangyun’s words echoed in Ye Kunlun’s mind.
Just now, Ye Kunlun had wanted to verify if his vital blood could indeed suppress the power of misfortune!
He had tested it casually, never expecting to actually eliminate the power of misfortune.
“Golden Scale Blood…” Ye Kunlun looked at his fingertips, a moment of surprise flashing across his face.
He murmured, “Could it be that my bloodline truly contains the ancient Golden Dragon bloodline?”
“How can golden scales remain in a pond forever!”
His master’s words also surfaced in his mind. Ye Kunlun came back to his senses, a wry smile playing on his lips.
He had entered the mountain back then precisely because of his master’s words.
It was then that Ye Kunlun, in a show of youthful bravado, had shouted the chuunibyo slogan, ‘How can golden scales remain in a pond forever; from this day forth, eternal Kunlun shall begin!’
Thinking back, his master must have seen something from the very beginning.
And the ‘golden scales’ in that phrase referred to the Golden Dragon bloodline within Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun finally recovered from his shock but then frowned tightly.
“The ancient Golden Dragon, that is a legendary divine beast. I am human, how can I have Golden Dragon bloodline within me?”
Ye Kunlun’s eyes were filled with doubt.
“No, could it be because of the power of the Eternal Starry Sky Technique within me?”
Ye Kunlun recalled the Eternal Starry Sky Technique, as its power could also suppress the power of misfortune!
Ten years of cultivation had long since imbued his bloodline with the power of the Eternal Starry Sky Technique.
Moreover, that drop just now was vital blood, containing the most refined essence of its power.
Ye Kunlun’s expression turned to one of realization.
Immediately, his body flickered, and he entered the temple.
