“Ding, congratulations on defeating the mid-tier Heavenly Sovereign, the King of Nether Evil.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Nether Evil Crystal.”
…
“Ha…” At this moment, Lin Fan was dumbfounded by the system notifications, his heart filled with joy as he burst into laughter. Originally, he thought that refining would yield nothing, and even the kill might not be credited to him. But now, to his surprise, not only did he receive a generous amount of experience, but he also succeeded in forging an artifact.
He hit the jackpot, truly a massive windfall.
It seems that I, young master, am indeed a man of great fortune, everything I do is smooth sailing.
At this moment, Lin Fan was not so angry about the King of Nether Evil trying to possess him; this death was worth it.
Exploring the Tuodi Temple, although extremely perilous, the rewards were indeed bountiful. Not only did it make Lin Fan understand the wonders of the Heaven and Earth Furnace better, but it also enhanced his cultivation.
Initial Divine Stage.
Although his current cultivation level is not very high, his combat power is now comparable to the Small Heavenly Sovereign realm.
“Nether Evil Crystal: Formed from the essence of the King of Nether Evil, a medium to communicate with the Nine Netherworlds.”
Lin Fan played with the fist-sized, purple, diamond-like crystal, somewhat puzzled about how to use it.
Then, without further consideration, Lin Fan stored it in his backpack.
Although he had already defeated this big boss, the Tuodi Temple was still filled with many mysteries.
Now, looking around, the not-so-large Tuodi Temple was fully visible, but in Lin Fan’s mind, it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
The Tuodi Temple has existed for a long time, and those who came to investigate it were certainly not just him. Why didn’t the predecessors encounter these Nether Evils sealed in the ancient altar?
It’s quite strange.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the ancient altar on the statue’s finger and immediately went forward to check if these treasures were still useful.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Sealed Ancient Altar (Damaged).”
Playing with the Sealed Ancient Altar in his hand, it seemed to have no use, looking ordinary and damaged. However, even though it was damaged, it was still a treasure in the past.
Lin Fan didn’t hesitate and directly stored it in his backpack, thinking it might be useful in the future.
Lin Fan searched around the Tuodi Temple, looking behind the statues for any secret manuals or treasures, even smashing one to see if anything was hidden inside.
Lin Fan had been heavily influenced by novels, so he naturally wouldn’t overlook these places where treasures were most likely hidden. If there really was a treasure, wouldn’t that be an unexpected windfall?
After finding nothing in the Tuodi Temple, Lin Fan turned to leave.
This mysterious Tuodi Temple might not be so simple, but given the current situation, perhaps the time was not yet right. He would come back later to see if the Tuodi Temple had changed.
Outside, Sha Dulong had been waiting. The master had been inside for a day and a night, and still hadn’t come out, which made them very worried.
“Big brother, do you think something happened inside?” Sha Miexiong sat on the ground, fiddling with the bonfire. The Tuodi Temple was surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, with eerie sounds occasionally heard at night.
If it weren’t for the big brother telling them to stay here, they might have already left.
Following the master, they knew they might be gaining something, but now, after so long, they didn’t know if he was alive or dead. Could they wait here forever?
Sha Dulong didn’t speak, his brows slightly furrowed, and finally sighed, “Let’s wait for two more days. If the master hasn’t come out by then, we’ll go back.”
Sha Dulong looked into the entrance, but it was pitch black inside, so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Especially standing there, you could feel the gusts of cold wind carrying a rotting stench.
At this moment, sounds came from the distance.
The fourteen bandits’ expressions changed, and Sha Dulong drew the scimitar from his waist, staring intently ahead. But when he saw the figure clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went forward, “Master, you’re out.”
“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded, but when he saw the bonfire, he was somewhat puzzled, “How long have I been inside?”
“A day and a night.”
Lin Fan was a bit surprised, not realizing that so much time had passed; he had no sense of time inside.
“Alright, let’s set off.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much about the Tuodi Temple. Although he had killed the Nether Evil, he still felt something strange about the place.
“Pack up, let’s go.” Sha Dulong didn’t ask further, calling his brothers to pack up and start the journey.
As Lin Fan’s carriage gradually moved away.
The Tuodi Temple once again sank into a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, the entire area silent and eerie, with occasional spine-chilling sounds.
Night fell, and the moonlight seemed to want to penetrate the ancient sky, shining on the Tuodi Temple, but it was blocked by the dense leaves, leaving it dim and dark.
At this moment, a beam of light cut through the night sky.
A crow, exuding an aura of death, flapped its wings and flew from the distance, its blood-red eyes seemingly captivating.
The crow flew into the dark entrance of the Tuodi Temple, moving forward until it reached the main hall inside.
The crow stopped in front of the huge statue in the center, its blood-red eyes emitting red light, its black feathers suddenly soaked in bright red blood, gushing out like a spring.
The crow let out a sharp cry, eventually turning into a dried corpse, dissipating into smoke.
The blood seemed to have a life of its own, flowing down the statue’s body, eventually falling to the ground, seeping deep into the earth, going down, down.
A black stone coffin lay quietly underground in the Tuodi Temple, with thick chains wrapped around it. On the coffin sat a golden skeleton, exuding an ancient aura, clearly a person of immense power in life.
The surrounding walls were carved with dense runes.
At this moment, wisps of blood-red mist slowly seeped out from the stone coffin, but just then, the countless runes on the walls suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The blood-red mist, upon touching this light, instantly shrank back into the coffin.
Drops of scarlet blood fell from above, then dripped onto the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood, the golden skeleton dimmed a bit.
The mysterious runes on the walls disappeared one by one, then faded into darkness.
“Ding, congratulations on gaining six hundred million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successfully forging a magical artifact.”
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the Mid-Heavenly Tier King of Nether Evil.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Nether Evil Crystal.”
…
“Ha…” At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned by the system notifications, feeling immense joy and bursting into laughter. Originally, he thought that the refining process would yield nothing, and even the kill might not be credited to him. But now, to his surprise, not only did he receive a generous amount of experience, but the artifact forging was also successful.
He had hit the jackpot, truly a massive windfall.
It seems that I, indeed, am a man of great fortune. Everything I do turns out perfectly.
At this moment, Lin Fan wasn’t as angry about the King of Nether Evil trying to possess him anymore. His death was worth it.
The exploration of the Tuodi Temple, though extremely perilous, was incredibly rewarding. Not only did it deepen Lin Fan’s understanding of the wonders of the Heavenly Furnace, but it also enhanced his cultivation.
Initial Divine Stage.
Although his current cultivation level isn’t very high, his combat power is now comparable to the Small Heavenly Tier.
“Nether Evil Crystal: Formed from the essence of the King of Nether Evil, an object that connects to the Nine Netherworlds.”
Lin Fan played with the fist-sized, purple, diamond-like crystal, feeling somewhat puzzled. How should he use this thing?
Without further thought, he stored it in his backpack.
Although he had already defeated this big boss, the Tuodi Temple was still filled with many mysteries.
Now, looking around, the not-so-large Tuodi Temple was fully visible, but Lin Fan believed it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded, but when he saw the campfire, he was somewhat puzzled, “How long have I been inside?”
“A day and a night.”
Lin Fan was a bit surprised. He hadn’t realized so much time had passed; he hadn’t felt it at all inside.
“Alright, let’s set off.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much about the Tuodi Temple. Although he had killed the Nether Evil, he still felt something strange about the place.
“Pack up, let’s go.” Sha Dulong didn’t ask further, calling his brothers to pack up and start the journey.

A crow, exuding an aura of death, flapped its wings and flew from the distance, its blood-red eyes seemingly captivating.
The crow flew into the dark entrance of the Tuodi Temple, moving forward until it reached the inner hall.
The crow perched in front of the massive statue in the center, its blood-red eyes emitting a red glow. Its black feathers were suddenly stained with bright red blood, gushing out like a spring.
The crow let out a sharp cry, eventually turning into a dried corpse and dissipating into smoke.
The blood, as if alive, flowed down the statue’s body, eventually reaching the ground and seeping deep into the earth, going further and further down.
A black stone coffin lay quietly underground in the Tuodi Temple, with thick chains wrapped around it. Sitting cross-legged on the coffin was a golden skeleton, exuding an ancient aura, clearly the remains of a person with immense power in life.
The surrounding walls were carved with dense runes.
At this moment, wisps of blood-red mist slowly seeped out from the stone coffin. But just then, the countless runes on the walls suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The blood-red mist, upon touching the light, instantly retreated back into the coffin.
Drops of scarlet blood fell from above, landing on the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood, the golden skeleton dimmed a bit.
The mysterious runes on the walls faded one by one, eventually becoming dull and lifeless.
…
“Haha…” At that moment, stunned by the system’s announcements, Lin Fan was overjoyed and burst into laughter. Initially, Lin Fan had thought that refining wouldn’t yield anything, and even the kill might not be credited to him. Yet now, not only had he received substantial experience, but he had also successfully forged an artifact.
What a profit! A tremendous profit indeed.
It seems I really am a person blessed with great fortune. Everything I do turns out perfectly.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the mid-tier Heavenly Rank Nether King.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Nether Essence.”
…
“Ha…” At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned by the system notifications, his heart filled with joy as he burst into laughter. Initially, Lin Fan thought that the refining process would yield nothing, and even the kill might not be credited to him. But now, to his surprise, not only was he rewarded with abundant experience, but the artifact forging was also successful.
This was a huge win, a massive gain indeed.
It seems that I, young master, am truly blessed with great fortune. Everything I do turns out perfectly.
At this moment, Lin Fan was no longer as angry about the Nether King’s attempt to possess him. This death was worth it.
Exploring the Tuodi Temple, though fraught with danger, yielded abundant rewards. Not only did it deepen Lin Fan’s understanding of the wonders of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, but it also enhanced his cultivation.
Initial Divine Rank.
Although his current cultivation level isn’t very high, his combat power is now comparable to that of a minor Heavenly Rank.
“Nether Essence: Formed from the essence of the Nether King, a conduit to the Netherworld.”
Lin Fan played with the fist-sized, purple, diamond-like crystal, feeling somewhat puzzled. How should this thing be used?
Without further thought, Lin Fan stored it in his backpack.
Although he had already slain the big boss, the Tuodi Temple was still filled with many mysteries.
Now, as he looked around, the not-so-large Tuodi Temple was fully visible, but Lin Fan believed it couldn’t be this simple.
The Tuodi Temple had existed for a long time, and those who came to investigate it couldn’t have been just him. Why hadn’t the predecessors encountered these Nether beings sealed in the ancient altar?
It’s quite strange.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the ancient altar on the statue’s finger and immediately went to inspect it, to see if these treasures still had any use.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Sealed Ancient Altar (Damaged).”
Playing with the Sealed Ancient Altar in his hand, it seemed to have no use, appearing ordinary and damaged. However, even though it was damaged, it was once a treasure.
Lin Fan didn’t hesitate and directly stored it in his backpack. It might be useful in the future.
Lin Fan searched around the Tuodi Temple, checking behind the statues for any secret manuals, and even smashed one to see if it hid any treasures.
Lin Fan had been heavily influenced by novels, so he naturally wouldn’t overlook these places where treasures were most likely hidden. If there really was a treasure, wouldn’t that be an unexpected windfall?
After finding nothing else in the Tuodi Temple, Lin Fan turned to leave.
This mysterious Tuodi Temple might not be so simple, but given the current situation, perhaps the time wasn’t right yet. He would come back later to see if the Tuodi Temple had changed.
Outside, Sha Doulong had been waiting. The master had been inside for a day and a night, yet he still hadn’t come out, which worried them greatly.
“Big brother, do you think something happened inside?” Sha Miexiong sat on the ground, fiddling with the bonfire. The Tuodi Temple was surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, with eerie sounds occasionally piercing the night.
If it weren’t for the big brother’s orders to stay, they might have left long ago.
Following the master, they knew they might gain something, but after so long, they didn’t know if he was alive or dead. Could they wait here forever?
Sha Doulong didn’t speak, his brows slightly furrowed, and finally sighed, “Let’s wait two more days. If the master hasn’t come out by then, we’ll leave.”
Sha Doulong looked into the entrance, but it was pitch black, impossible to see anything.
Especially standing there, one could feel the gusts of decaying, cold wind.
At this moment, sounds came from the distance.
The fourteen sand bandits’ expressions changed, and Sha Doulong drew the scimitar from his waist, his gaze low and intense as he stared ahead. But when he saw the figure clearly, he relaxed and immediately stepped forward, “Master, you’ve come out.”
“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded, but when he saw the bonfire, he was puzzled, “How long have I been inside?”
“A day and a night.”
Lin Fan was slightly shocked, not realizing so much time had passed. Inside, he had no sense of time.
“Alright, let’s set off.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much about the Tuodi Temple. Although he had slain the Nether being, he still felt something strange about the place.

The crow perched in front of the massive statue in the center, its blood-red eyes emitting a red glow, its black feathers suddenly stained with bright red blood, gushing out like a spring.
The crow let out a sharp cry, eventually turning into a withered corpse, dissipating into smoke.
The blood seemed to have a life of its own, flowing down the statue’s body, eventually falling to the ground, seeping deep into the earth, going deeper and deeper.
A black stone coffin lay quietly beneath the Tuodi Temple, wrapped in thick chains. On the coffin sat a golden skeleton, exuding an ancient aura, clearly the remains of a once immensely powerful being.
The surrounding walls were carved with dense, mysterious runes.
At this moment, wisps of blood-red mist slowly seeped out from the stone coffin, but as soon as they touched the dazzling light emitted by the runes on the walls, they instantly retreated back into the coffin.
Drops of scarlet blood fell from above, landing on the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood, the golden skeleton dimmed slightly.
The mysterious runes on the walls extinguished one by one, then faded into darkness.
The adventure in Tuodi Temple had indeed been perilous, but the rewards were plentiful. It not only helped Lin Fan better understand the wonders of the Celestial Furnace but also enhanced his cultivation.
He had reached the Initial Stage of Divine Entry.
Although his current cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, his combat power was now comparable to that of the Lesser Heaven Rank.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the mid-tier Nether King of the Great Heaven Realm.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”

He had now reached the early stage of the Divine Realm.
Although his current cultivation level wasn’t very high, his combat power was now comparable to that of the Small Heaven Realm.

Lin Fan played with the fist-sized, purple, diamond-like crystal, feeling somewhat puzzled. How should he use this thing?

After finding nothing more in the Tuodi Temple, Lin Fan turned to leave.
The mysterious Tuodi Temple might not be as simple as it seemed, but given the current situation, perhaps the time wasn’t right yet. He would come back later to see if anything had changed.
Outside, Sha Dulong had been waiting for a day and night, growing increasingly worried as the master hadn’t come out yet.
“Big brother, do you think something might have happened inside?” Sha Mie Xiong sat by the campfire, fiddling with it. The Tuodi Temple was surrounded by an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, with spine-chilling sounds occasionally echoing through the night.
If it weren’t for the big brother’s orders to stay, they might have left long ago.
Following the master, they knew they might gain something, but after so much time had passed without any news, they wondered if they should wait forever.
Sha Dulong didn’t speak, frowning slightly, and finally sighed, “Let’s wait two more days. If the master hasn’t come out by then, we’ll leave.”
Sha Dulong looked into the entrance, but it was pitch black, impossible to see anything.

Lin Fan rolled the fist-sized, diamond-like purple crystal in his hand, somewhat puzzled about how to use it.
He didn’t dwell on it for long, placing it into his backpack.
Although the big boss had been defeated, the Tuodi Temple was still filled with many strange occurrences.
Looking around, the relatively small Tuodi Temple was visible at a glance, yet Lin Fan suspected it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the mid-level Nether King of the Great Heaven Realm.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Nether Crystals.”
…
“Ha…” At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned, listening to the system notifications, his heart filled with joy. He laughed heartily.

Sha Doulong didn’t speak, his brows slightly furrowed. Finally, he sighed, “Let’s wait two more days. If the master hasn’t come out by then, we’ll leave.”
Sha Doulong looked into the entrance, but it was pitch black inside, so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Especially standing there, you could feel the chilling wind carrying the stench of decay.
At this moment, a sound came from the distance.
The fourteen bandits’ expressions changed, and Sha Doulong immediately drew the scimitar from his waist, his gaze low and intense as he stared ahead. But when he saw the figure clearly, he relaxed and quickly stepped forward, “Master, you’ve come out.”

At this moment, a beam of light cut through the night sky.
A crow, exuding an aura of death, flapped its wings, flying from afar. Its blood-red eyes seemed to captivate the soul.
The crow flew into the dark entrance of the Tuodi Temple, moving forward until it reached the inner hall.
The crow perched in front of the massive statue in the center, its blood-red eyes emitting a red glow. Its black feathers were suddenly dyed with bright red blood, gushing out like a spring.
The crow let out a sharp cry, eventually turning into a withered corpse, dissipating into smoke.
The blood, as if alive, flowed down the statue’s body, eventually reaching the ground, seeping deep into the earth, going deeper and deeper.
A black stone coffin lay quietly beneath the Tuodi Temple, with thick chains wrapped around it. Sitting cross-legged on the coffin was a golden skeleton, exuding an ancient aura, clearly the remains of a once immensely powerful being.

Drops of scarlet blood fell from above, landing on the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood, the golden skeleton dimmed slightly.
The mysterious runes on the walls vanished one by one, then faded into darkness.
It was very suspicious.
Now, Lin Fan turned his gaze toward the ancient jar on the statue’s finger, immediately approaching to inspect it, hoping to find anything useful left.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering a Sealed Ancient Jar (damaged).”
The sealed ancient jar in his hand was rather useless, appearing quite ordinary and damaged. However, even though it was broken, it must have been a treasure at some point.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan placed it into his backpack, thinking it might come in handy someday.
Lin Fan searched around the Tuodi Temple briefly, checking behind the statues for any secret manuals. He even smashed another statue to see if anything was hidden inside.
He had been heavily influenced by novels in the past—these were the most likely places to hide treasures, and he naturally wouldn’t miss them. If he really found something valuable, it would be an unexpected windfall.
After failing to find anything else in the Tuodi Temple, Lin Fan turned to leave.
Perhaps this mysterious Tuodi Temple wasn’t that simple, but under current circumstances, the timing might not be right. He decided to return later to see if the temple had changed.
Outside, Sandulong had been waiting all along. It had already been a day and a night since the master went inside, and he still hadn’t emerged, causing them great concern.
“Brother, do you think something might have happened to him inside?” Shajie sat on the ground, poking at the campfire. The surroundings of the Tuodi Temple were gloomy and terrifying. At night, eerie sounds occasionally echoed, making one’s hair stand on end.
If it hadn’t been for his brother’s orders to stay, they might have left already.
They knew that following the master was profitable, but so much time had passed—no one knew whether he was alive or dead. Could they wait here forever?
Sandulong didn’t speak but furrowed his brows, finally sighing, “Let’s wait another two days. If the master hasn’t come out in two days, we’ll go back.”
Sandulong glanced into the entrance but saw only pitch darkness, so dark that he couldn’t even see his hand in front of his face.
Standing there, he could feel the cold, decaying winds blowing out.
Suddenly, a sound came from a distance.
The fourteen bandits’ expressions changed, and Sandulong quickly drew his curved sword, his face dark as he stared ahead. But when he saw who it was, he relaxed and hurried forward, “Master, you’re out.”
“Mm.” Lin Fan nodded but, upon seeing the campfire, looked puzzled, “How long have I been inside?”
“A day and a night.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t realized so much time had passed—he hadn’t felt any of it inside.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating the mid-level Heavenly Tier Nether King.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 million experience points.”
“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful artifact forging.”
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Nether Crystals.”
…
“Ha…” At this moment, stunned by the system notifications, Lin Fan was overjoyed and burst into laughter. Originally, he thought that refining would yield nothing, and even the kill might not be credited to him. But now, to his surprise, not only did he receive a generous amount of experience, but he also succeeded in forging an artifact.
This was a huge win, a truly massive gain.
It seems that I, indeed, am a person of great fortune. Everything I do turns out perfectly.
At this moment, Lin Fan wasn’t even that angry about the Nether King’s attempt to possess him. This death was worth it.
Exploring the Tuodi Temple, although extremely perilous, was incredibly rewarding. Not only did it deepen Lin Fan’s understanding of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, but it also enhanced his cultivation.
Initial Divine Tier.
Although his current cultivation level isn’t very high, his combat power is now comparable to that of a minor Heavenly Tier.
“Nether Crystal: Formed from the essence of the Nether King, a conduit to the Nine Nether Realm.”
Lin Fan played with the fist-sized, purple, diamond-like crystal, feeling somewhat puzzled. How should he use this thing?
Without further thought, he placed it into his backpack.
Although he had already slain the big boss, the Tuodi Temple was still filled with many mysteries.
Now, as he looked around, the not-so-large Tuodi Temple was fully visible, but Lin Fan believed it couldn’t be this simple.
The Tuodi Temple had existed for a long time, and he couldn’t be the only one who had come to investigate. Why hadn’t previous explorers encountered these Nether beings sealed in ancient altars?
It was very strange.
At this moment, Lin Fan looked at the ancient altar on the statue’s finger and immediately went to inspect it, wondering if these treasures still had any use.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Sealed Ancient Altar (Damaged).”
Playing with the Sealed Ancient Altar in his hand, it seemed to have no use, looking ordinary and damaged. However, even though it was damaged, it was once a treasure.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan stored it in his backpack, thinking it might be useful in the future.
Lin Fan searched around the Tuodi Temple, checking behind the statues for any hidden manuals or treasures. He even smashed one statue to see if it concealed anything valuable.
Lin Fan had been heavily influenced by novels, and these places where treasures were most likely hidden couldn’t be overlooked. If there really was a treasure, wouldn’t that be an unexpected windfall?
After finding nothing more in the Tuodi Temple, Lin Fan turned to leave.
The mysterious Tuodi Temple might not be as simple as it seemed, but given the current situation, perhaps the time wasn’t right. He would come back later to see if the Tuodi Temple had changed.
Outside, Sha Dulong had been waiting. The master had been inside for a day and a night, and there was still no sign of him, which made them very worried.
“Big brother, do you think something happened inside?” Sha Miexiong sat by the bonfire, poking at it. The Tuodi Temple was surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, with eerie sounds occasionally piercing the night.
If it weren’t for the big brother’s orders to stay, they might have left long ago.
Following the master, they knew they might be gaining something, but after so long, they didn’t know if he was alive or dead. Could they really wait here forever?
Sha Dulong didn’t speak, his brows slightly furrowed, and he finally sighed, “Let’s wait two more days. If the master hasn’t come out by then, we’ll leave.”
Sha Dulong looked into the entrance, but it was pitch black, impossible to see anything.
Especially standing there, one could feel the chilling wind carrying the stench of decay.
At that moment, a sound came from the distance.
The fourteen bandits’ expressions changed, and Sha Dulong drew the curved blade from his waist, his gaze low and intense as he stared ahead. But when he saw the figure clearly, he relaxed and immediately stepped forward, “Master, you’re out.”
“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded, but when he saw the bonfire, he was puzzled, “How long was I in there?”
“A day and a night.”
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, not realizing so much time had passed. Inside, he hadn’t felt it at all.
“Alright, let’s set off.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much about the Tuodi Temple. Although he had slain the Nether being, he still felt something was off.
“Everyone, pack up, let’s go.” Sha Dulong didn’t ask further, calling his brothers to gather their things and start the journey.
As Lin Fan’s carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.
The Tuodi Temple once again sank into a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, the entire area silent and eerie, with occasional spine-chilling sounds.
Night fell, and the moonlight seemed to want to penetrate the ancient sky, shining on the Tuodi Temple, but it was blocked by the dense leaves, leaving it in darkness.
At that moment, a beam of light cut through the night sky.
A crow, exuding an aura of death, flapped its wings as it flew from afar, its blood-red eyes seemingly captivating.
The crow flew into the dark entrance of the Tuodi Temple, moving forward until it reached the inner hall.
The crow perched in front of the massive statue in the center, its blood-red eyes emitting a red glow, its black feathers suddenly stained with bright red blood, bubbling like a spring.
The crow let out a sharp cry, eventually turning into a dried corpse, dissipating into smoke.
The blood, as if alive, flowed down the statue’s body, eventually reaching the ground and seeping deep into the earth, going further and further down.
A black stone coffin lay quietly beneath the Tuodi Temple, wrapped in thick chains. Sitting cross-legged on the coffin was a golden skeleton, exuding an ancient aura, clearly a person of immense power in life.
The surrounding walls were carved with dense runes.
At that moment, wisps of blood-red mist slowly seeped out of the stone coffin, but as they did, the countless runes on the walls suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The blood-red mist, upon touching this light, instantly retreated back into the coffin.
Drops of scarlet blood fell from above, landing on the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood, the golden skeleton dimmed slightly.
The mysterious runes on the walls vanished one by one, then faded into darkness.
“Pack up and move out,” Sandulong didn’t ask further, signaling his men to gather their belongings and prepare to depart.
As Lin Fan’s carriage gradually disappeared into the distance,
The Tuodi Temple once again sank into its gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The entire area was silent and dark, occasionally interrupted by chilling, strange sounds.
Night fell, and moonlight seemed to try to pierce through the ancient sky, shining onto the Tuodi Temple, but was blocked by dense foliage, leaving everything dim and shadowy.
At this moment, a streak of light broke through the night sky.
A crow, exuding an aura of death, flapped its wings as it flew from afar. Its blood-red eyes seemed to pierce one’s soul.
The crow soared into the pitch-black entrance of the Tuodi Temple, flying straight ahead until it reached the grand hall inside.
The crow perched before the massive central statue. Its blood-red eyes emitted a crimson glow, and its jet-black wings suddenly became soaked in fresh blood, gushing forth like a spring.
The crow shrieked fiercely before turning into a desiccated corpse and vanishing into smoke.
The blood seemed to possess a life of its own, flowing down the statue’s body before dripping onto the ground, seeping deep underground, going lower and lower.
A black stone coffin lay silently beneath the Tuodi Temple. Thick, rugged chains coiled around it. Sitting cross-legged atop the coffin was a golden skeleton, emanating an ancient, primordial aura, clearly belonging to a once-mighty figure.
Inscribed on the surrounding walls were countless dense, intricate runes.
At that moment, wisps of crimson mist slowly seeped from the coffin. However, suddenly, the innumerable runes on the walls emitted a dazzling glow. Upon contact with this radiant light, the crimson mist recoiled instantly back into the coffin.
Droplets of vivid red blood dripped from above, landing on the golden skeleton.
With each drop of blood that fell, the golden skeleton dimmed slightly.
Simultaneously, one of the mysterious runes on the wall faded and went dark.
