Chapter 439 Dragon Claw
The underground cave world of Fulaoguan.
The world was still dark and filled with chaotic demonic energy. From time to time, demons could be seen wandering on the ground.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew over a vast area of land.
The sky is full of yellow sand.
There is a whirlpool in the middle of the yellow sand.
The vortex continued to spin, sucking in the yellow sand.
Soon, the wind stopped and the yellow sand disappeared.
In the middle of the vast ground, there appeared a giant about 17 or 18 feet tall, made entirely of yellow sand, like a small hill.
The giant's face looked very similar to Qin Ziling.
Although the giant is made entirely of yellow sand, the yellow sand is now flashing with a hint of yellow light and emitting a hint of earth aura, giving people an extremely heavy, powerful and solid feeling.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The giant's two pillar-like thighs stomped on the ground, and the earth shook, making a sound like beating drums.
Just at this time, seven demon guards with hundreds of earth demon soldiers appeared not far away.
The giant strode forward.
When the demon guards and earth demon soldiers saw the giant striding towards them, they sensed a strong danger and turned around to escape.
But before they could escape, the giant raised his giant foot and stomped down hard below.
Under the giant's big feet, the seven-headed demon guards and hundreds of earth demon soldiers were as small as ants.
In just a few steps, he was trampled into a ball of meat paste.
However, the giant's feet also dropped a lot of yellow sand because of hitting something hard. Three of the five toes were broken, and there were many potholes in other places, making it look very broken.
The giant lifted his foot and looked at it, and soon rolling yellow sand and earth spirit gathered together, and a complete huge foot reappeared.
"This is the manifestation of holiness! Using the soul to easily gather the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, condense it into a physical object, and directly suppress it with great force. Moreover, it can be gathered or dispersed, and it is agile and free. This method is much more advanced than the Qi Refining method!" Looking at the big feet quickly recovered, joy flashed in his lantern-like big eyes.
Thinking in his mind, Qin Ziling's soul relied on the giant and walked quickly towards the passage.
This underground world is filled with demonic energy. Having a giant's body is like putting on thick armor for the soul, so that it will not be disturbed by the demonic energy.
The giant took a stride of more than ten feet.
Not long after, it passed through the passage connecting to another cave world and came to the edge of the large area of dark and dangerous area where Qin Ziling had discovered the magic crystal stone.
"Crash!" The yellow sand giant collapsed, and the void twisted, revealing Qin Ziling's golden soul and body.
Qin Ziling's soul can now split into countless parts, but the more it splits, the weaker the soul becomes.
If Qin Ziling's soul could now be divided into thirty-six parts, each one could manifest a golden body of soul.
Qin Ziling had just used some skills to train this kind of golden body of soul and thought that it should be able to reach the combat power of an intermediate Xuan master.
If the thirty-six energies could condense into a complete golden body of soul, Qin Ziling would now be fully confident of killing the Golden Core Ancestor.
Moreover, the soul is unpredictable and can be gathered or dispersed. At his level, as long as one of the thirty-six escapes, he can be reborn in another body. From a certain perspective, as long as he does not meet a strong man who is too abnormal, he is invincible.
This is the mysterious and even weird aspect of the way of the spirit and soul.
However, the way of spirit and soul is Qin Ziling's real trump card. He would not reveal it unless necessary.
This time when entering the underground cave, Qin Ziling separated out a soul that could condense into a golden body level.
"I don't know if it will work this time!" The golden body of the soul was suspended in the air, looking at the dark and dangerous place in front and below. He pondered for a moment, and then carefully released a wisp of soul, which probed into the dark and dangerous place like a tentacle.
This wisp of spirit entered into the dark and dangerous place, and just like last time, as soon as it entered, it encountered a huge vortex of demonic energy and storm.
This vortex of demonic energy continued to strangle his soul, preventing it from going deeper.
However, this time Qin Ziling's soul was much stronger than last time. He persisted in there for a long time, but when he found that his strength was not enough, he struggled for a while and escaped, which was equivalent to escaping unscathed.
Unlike the previous two times when they could not escape being strangled.
"It looks like there is hope!" The golden body of the soul floating in the air showed joy.
But it still didn't dare to go into the dark and dangerous place completely.
This golden body of the soul is equivalent to one of the thirty-six clones of Qin Ziling's soul. Once a wing is broken in it, it will definitely be a huge blow and loss to Qin Ziling's soul.
After thinking about it, the Golden Body of Soul finally separated half of its soul.
Qin Ziling can still afford this level of loss for now.
When the soul went in, it still encountered a huge vortex of demonic energy storm, which made the soul extremely uncomfortable.
However, the size of this divine soul was "huge", and some pure yang power was already hidden in it. Although the vortex of demonic energy storm made it uncomfortable, it still emitted pure yang power. Once the demonic energy touched it, it melted like snow and could not hurt it.
"Good!" Qin Ziling was overjoyed this time, and all the souls left outside rushed into the dark and dangerous place.
When the two merged into one, the soul was instantly freed from the vortex of the demonic storm.
At this time, Qin Ziling discovered that in addition to the vortex of demonic storm in the void, demons came out from time to time in this dark and dangerous place. No matter which direction people from outside came in from, they would be sucked in directly as soon as they came in. In fact, the ground was not much different from the underground world outside, and it was not the swampy and muddy place as imagined.
Qin Ziling's soul took a few glances at the vortex in the void and then retracted it.
No one knew where the vortex of demonic energy led to, so Qin Ziling was naturally unwilling to take the risk to explore it now.
After retracting his gaze, Qin Ziling's eyes quickly fell on the ground.
For some reason, when Qin Ziling's soul focused on the ground, he actually felt a sense of familiarity. The feeling was a bit like when he entered the Qin family dragon pond.
"Could it be that the creature buried below is related to the Qin family by blood, or is it the place where the flesh body of the dragon vein of the Qin family's ancestral land fell?" Qin Ziling speculated in his heart, his soul having already drilled into the ground.
The soul can pass through walls and naturally can also enter the ground.
However, there are limits to how deep the soul can enter the earth.
The further down you go, the more invisible pressure will fall on your soul.
The deeper the soul drilled, the more it felt an ancient, timeless, majestic, domineering and powerful aura sweeping towards it like a tidal wave.
After drilling down for about a hundred feet, his mind suddenly became stagnant.
I saw a five-fingered dragon claw bone as big as a small hill grabbing the ground.
The scales and armor on the outside of the five-finger dragon claw bone have disappeared, and even the five-finger dragon claw bone is already in tatters. Only half of two fingers are left, and the remaining three fingers are like stone pillars that have been weathered for the most part, with some hollows in the middle. It is unknown how many years they have been buried underground.
However, no matter how broken the five-finger dragon claw bone was, it still flashed with a golden light that gave people an extremely cold, hard, sharp and powerful feeling.
"This..." Qin Ziling, who was sitting cross-legged in a secret training room in the Qin Mansion in Fulaoguan, suddenly opened his eyes with an expression of great shock and surprise.
Almost without thinking, the soul sitting in the Heavenly Palace split into two and then jumped out of the Heavenly Gate.
This soul already represents half of Qin Ziling's spiritual power, so he is not afraid even if he meets the Golden Core Ancestor.
After half of the soul jumped out of the Heavenly Gate, it rolled up the Qiankun Ring, then left the secret room and entered the underground cave world again.
Soon, this soul also entered the dark and dangerous situation.
This soul represented half of Qin Ziling's soul power. Facing the vortex of demonic storm, it only exerted a little effort to break free from the vortex's suction, then drilled into the ground and merged into one with another soul.
After the two merged into one, the soul transformed into a huge golden hand, grabbed the broken five-fingered golden dragon claw, and pulled it up suddenly.
When the soul pulled out the five-fingered golden dragon claws, the ground continued to rise, the earth shook, the soil surged, and the stones rolled.
"Collect!" After the soul pulled out the five-fingered golden dragon claw, it immediately put it into the Qiankun Ring.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound.
The broken five-fingered golden dragon claw fell into the cave world, like a hill smashing down. The entire cave world shook violently, and the space suddenly expanded.
"What is this?" After retracting the dragon claw, Qin Ziling discovered that there were hundreds of blood-red crystals underneath the dragon claw.
Some blood-colored crystals are as big as a football, while others are as small as an egg.
The blood-colored crystal exudes extremely rich and pure magical energy.
"Such pure and rich energy!" Qin Ziling exclaimed and put the hundred or so red crystals into the cave world.
Qin Ziling counted them and found that there were ten pieces as big as footballs, and the remaining ninety pieces were basically the size of goose eggs and chicken eggs.
After putting away the blood-colored crystal, Qin Ziling searched around and found that apart from the broken dragon claw he found at the beginning, he no longer found the huge skeleton he had imagined.
As for the magic crystal stones, only a few were found sporadically.
They were all top-grade gold-type magic crystals. If converted into standard-sized magic crystals of various sizes, there were about three to four thousand of them, which was far less than the number of magic crystals he had found in the ancient battlefield.
The high-quality magic crystal stones he found in the ancient battlefield amounted to about twelve to thirty thousand magic crystal stones of standard size.
Of course, they are all top-grade magic crystals, and three or four thousand pieces are actually a lot.
"Could it be that in ancient times, this dragon fought a powerful enemy and ended up having its claws and a small part of its tail cut off, leaving it here?" Qin Ziling searched carefully again, and seeing that he found nothing, he left the dark and dangerous place. On his way back, he secretly speculated in his mind.
But this happened too long ago, and Qin Ziling could only make blind guesses. There was definitely no way to restore the truth.
As soon as his soul returned to Fulao Pass, Qin Ziling couldn't wait to enter the cave world.
Qin Ziling stood in front of the huge dragon claw, just like a person standing under a hill, like an ant, looking very small.
