Li Xiaotian's face was pale, his expression filled with disbelief, as if he had discovered something terrifying, leaving him stunned in place, motionless.
That silhouette! The silhouette of that supreme existence! It made him think of someone! This filled his heart with absurdity, even making him doubt the reality of this world!
He wasn't dreaming! Li Xiaotian gritted his teeth. The experiences he had along the way made him realize they were all real, not a dream.
But why? Why was that being here?!
Hum!
Suddenly, the pressure in this place intensified dramatically, as if the silhouette had awakened.
In an instant, Li Xiaotian felt as if he were on the verge of death. His body was filled with cold, and he trembled all over.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Even his newly forged golden body now bore slight cracks under this terrifying pressure.
Boom!
A terrifying force suddenly struck him head-on. Li Xiaotian felt like a kite with a broken string, his body rapidly retreating.
"No!"
Li Xiaotian roared. He hadn't even seen the silhouette clearly, hadn't confirmed if it was the one he was thinking of, and he didn't want to retreat.
But this suddenly appearing force seemed to have a will of its own, forcefully pushing Li Xiaotian's body back.
Even when Li Xiaotian drove his legs into the ground, attempting to stop himself, it was futile.
His legs carved a groove in the ground, and the rapid backward momentum caused sparks to fly as his body scraped against the surface.
Bang!
The force suddenly vanished only when Li Xiaotian could no longer feel the pressure, and due to inertia, his body crashed heavily onto the ground. Great Wind Novel Network.
"Cough, cough!"
Li Xiaotian coughed dryly, feeling uncomfortable all over, but fortunately, his golden body was intact, and the cracks on his body healed instantly.
Whoosh!
Li Xiaotian got up and rushed towards the depths, determined to confirm his thoughts, lest his heart remain unsettled.
Bang!
However, a bizarre scene unfolded. As soon as his body reached the area where he could feel the pressure, the powerful force reappeared, directly blasting him away.
"Kid!! What's wrong?! What happened? What did you discover?!"
In his mind, the Demon Lord asked anxiously. He had also sensed the abnormality. That force earlier had made him afraid to even have a thought, only able to watch as Li Xiaotian was pushed back.
But he knew clearly that the trigger for all this was when Li Xiaotian uttered that sentence. This kid must have discovered something!
Li Xiaotian stopped upon hearing this, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes. He looked towards the depths, knowing that the force was still there, its purpose to prevent him from advancing further.
"Old fellow, I've discovered a great secret! A secret that would shock the world, even in ancient times!"
Li Xiaotian said. Even now, his heart was unable to calm down because the truth was too incredible.
He didn't pause and told the Demon Lord his speculations.
"What?!!! This is impossible!!! You scoundrel, are you kidding me? You dare to guess something like this?"
The Demon Lord exclaimed in shock. The demonic bead he was relying on even trembled within Li Xiaotian's body, clearly showing that the secret Li Xiaotian spoke of had shaken him greatly.
"How is this possible? He is!!! And the supreme demonic nature here is comparable to a true demon!! How could they be the same person?"
The Demon Lord murmured, his tone filled with disbelief.
Bang!
While they were talking, Li Xiaotian tried to advance towards the deepest part again, but as before, he was still forced back.
The force seemed to have no intention of harming him; it merely wanted to prevent him from advancing further and confirming the truth.
"Don't waste your efforts. These are the methods of an invincible expert. You cannot resolve them," the Demon Lord said, then continued.
"This matter is filled with strangeness. How did that person become invincible? It shouldn't be! I saw him when my strength was at its peak, and I didn't find anything unusual. How did he do it?"
"Old fellow, what should we do? Should we find him to confirm this?"
Li Xiaotian asked, but instantly his body turned cold. He quickly shook his head, deciding against it, as going there might mean death.
"Are you crazy? Such a huge secret, if your guess is true, then even I will have to be buried with you!"
The Demon Lord exclaimed, then quickly added again.
"Seal your memories. You're right, you've learned a great secret, but at your current level, you cannot bear the consequences of this secret. If you leave this place, you will definitely be detected by him!"
"Seal your memories! When your strength becomes greater, or when I recover my peak, you can then investigate the truth of this matter."
Li Xiaotian fell silent, feeling a sense of unwillingness. He had used someone's blood to forge his golden body and mend his foundation. This karmic connection was immense. If he didn't figure out if there would be terrifying sequelae later, he was not reconciled!
"Listen to me, seal your memories. I absorbed the energy of this place back then, and there have been no abnormalities. This indicates there's no problem!"
"Moreover, if he is truly invincible, with his personality, he won't quibble over this matter," the Demon Lord said, guessing what Li Xiaotian was thinking, and then added.
"Don't be rash. If this matter gets out, the human race will fall into great chaos!"
Li Xiaotian gritted his teeth upon hearing this and finally sighed in reluctant surrender. He understood everything the Demon Lord said; the crucial point was that he was too weak.
"You seal it. When you feel the time is right in the future, unseal it for me," Li Xiaotian said. If he sealed it himself, he feared he might accidentally unseal it.
If an invincible expert, who might be such a being, had their greatest secret discovered by him, what would happen if that person found out?
He would likely kill him without hesitation with a mere thought.
"Good!"
The Demon Lord spoke. Immediately, Li Xiaotian felt a force appear in his mind, and then his head experienced a tearing pain.
After a while, Li Xiaotian stood there foolishly. He touched his head, feeling only immense pain.
"Kid, why are you dawdling? Quickly absorb the energy here. Once you've absorbed enough, I still haven't had enough," the Demon Lord urged in his mind.
Li Xiaotian subconsciously absorbed the surrounding blood energy, his brows furrowed. He felt that something was wrong, that he seemed to have lost something.
He recalled everything that had happened. He had forged his golden body, then reached the end, only to find nothing there.
"I didn't expect this place to be where he stored his power. Heh heh, this old fellow, it's fortunate I have some acquaintance with him, otherwise I wouldn't dare to use his power for recovery."
The Demon Lord said with a laugh.
Li Xiaotian also looked delighted. He had previously worried about being held accountable by the owner of this place if he absorbed the energy, so he insisted on investigating the deepest part.
As a result, upon reaching the end, the Demon Lord discovered that the blood energy here belonged to an invincible expert he knew, and since that invincible being was devoted to the human race, he wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter, thus dispelling his concerns.
No! Li Xiaotian frowned. He felt something was off, but he couldn't recall what it was.
"Kid, what's going on over there? Did you bring any other living beings into this place when you entered?"
The Demon Lord suddenly asked. Li Xiaotian was reminded by him and also felt a slight movement. After recalling, he understood what was happening.
"It's a Dragon Horse, but its character is a bit rotten!"
Li Xiaotian replied. Thinking about how that horse had previously asked him to join forces and then refused, it was quite shameless.
"Dragon Horse? Tsk tsk, this is a good thing, a heavenly beast. Their flesh is highly nourishing!"
The Demon Lord said, his tone excited. At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cursing internally. This kid was quite cautious; he almost sensed the abnormality.
