Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 109: Ancient Lion and Immortal Monk King Escape
"The Stone of Life!"

In the vast sea of ​​bones, Xia Sheng's expression changed and his chest heaved. He suppressed his inner excitement and quickly calmed down.

There were seven or eight fairy stones placed on the tall stone base. They were crystal clear and exuded a surging vitality that made it difficult to look away.

The Stone of Life can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and prolong one’s life. It is so precious.

This kind of priceless divine object, if taken to the outside world, would be snatched away by countless supreme beings. It is definitely not much worse than fairy gold.

You know, because the Stone of Life can prolong life, even the immortal families will not store it specially. Whenever one is found, it is basically given to the strongest person in the clan to suppress the clan's luck.

It is for this reason that the Xia people did not have such reserves.

And here, there are actually eight of them. Xia Sheng could only feel his heart beating uncontrollably. He was really going to get rich this time.

It can be imagined that if they are all taken out, the old supreme leader of the clan will have his life extended again, which means that the fortune of the entire Xia clan will be extended.

"It will only take a few hundred years, enough for me to grow up."

Xia Sheng's eyes flashed, and he activated the Nine Phoenix Furnace. The huge wave expanded forward, approaching the huge stone base step by step.

At the same time, he held the World Tree in his hand, and brilliant holy light fell, emitting an astonishing chaotic mist that enveloped his body.

He was alert in his heart. This sea of ​​bones was full of weirdness. He couldn't let his eyes be blinded by the heaven-defying magical object and lose his life.

Fortunately, the journey was peaceful.

It took Xia Sheng more than ten breaths to walk the distance of several hundred meters, panting heavily, before he finally arrived under the huge stone base.

The fluctuations emitted by this field are not much weaker than those of the black palace. From this, we can infer how powerful the owner of this world was during his lifetime.

Keng!
The nine-headed fairy phoenix danced in the air, red clouds flew everywhere, carrying Xia Sheng slowly upwards, flying towards the direction of the Stone of Life. Every moment felt extremely heavy.

At this point, even with the Nine Phoenix Furnace and the World Tree to offset the pressure, Xia Sheng still felt a heaviness in his chest, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his flesh couldn't help but break.

You know, his body has been watered with dragon blood and phoenix blood, and has become extremely strong and invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

Even a true dragon at the peak of the divine level might not be able to match him.

But here, it still couldn't help but break apart, drops of red blood spilled, evaporated by the blazing phoenix light, and the refreshing fragrance spread in the air.

Fortunately, before his body was about to reach its limit, Xia Sheng successfully obtained the Stone of Life. The white fairy light hung down, exuding an immortal aura.

Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and flew downwards.

After obtaining the Zodiac Immortal Gold and the Stone of Life, Xia Sheng was already very satisfied and he was ready to end this exploration.

If we go deeper into the Taichu Ancient Mine, it will be really difficult to leave.

However, just as he was about to land, the void fluctuated, and a strange creature rushed out from the darkness with a hideous face. It was the dragon-headed monster.

Keng!
The huge front claws pierced through the void, drew a murderous light in the darkness, and grabbed Xia Sheng's lower back directly. This was a prepared attack.

"I've been on guard against you. Kill!"

Xia Sheng's eyes were cold. He turned around suddenly, a dragon light shining brightly on his back. He immediately swung out a dragon tail, and bright runes lit up, sweeping away the void.

At the same time, the World Tree shook, and a huge amount of chaotic mist fell and attached to the dragon's tail, making it more sharp and extraordinary.

boom!
The dragon-headed monster roared, and its huge front claws collided, but it was still swept by the dragon's tail and immediately flew out, trying to disappear into the darkness.

In the previous fight, the Nine Phoenix Furnace cut off its hind half, greatly reducing its divine power. It was forced to watch in secret, looking for opportunities to assassinate.

Now, after failing to hit the target, it will lie dormant again.

"Can you get away? Let me see today what kind of monster you are!"

Xia Sheng shouted loudly, and the Four Symbols Heavenly Art was activated. Four figures of a true dragon, a unicorn, a white tiger, and a fairy phoenix walked out of the void. The brilliant light shot up into the sky, trapping the dragon-headed monster in the center.

Roar!
The dragon-headed creature roared once more, like a monster from the Netherworld. Black blood oozed from the wounds on its hind legs, which was extremely weird.

However, the next moment, the power of the Four Symbols exploded, and countless killing lights came down like falling meteorites, bursting out with endless power.

"kill!"

At the same time, Xia Sheng activated the Nine Phoenix Furnace, and a huge amount of red essence shot out, like phoenix feathers, piercing through the strange creatures and causing them to crack.

Then, the blazing fairy fire burned and attached to the strange flesh and blood. The hot energy overflowed, causing the surrounding void to distort.

"Too difficult to kill, definitely no less difficult than an unrivaled leader."

Looking at the body that was cut into pieces but still twisting in the blazing phoenix fire, Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart.

If this monster alone had run away, it would definitely be a creature comparable to the leader, but now it has been killed by myself.

"Dong dong."

At this moment, a dull heartbeat sound suddenly came from the depths of the darkness, like the sound of a dragon drum, becoming louder and louder, and moving quickly towards here.

"not good!"

Xia Sheng's face changed drastically and he quickly headed outside.

He glanced back inadvertently, what did he see?
It turned out to be the skeleton of an ancient lion that was a hundred feet tall, with frighteningly green eyes and a majestic look, as if it had been born with intelligence. It sat on a huge throne, overlooking the universe.

"Is this its training ground? How terrifying!"

At this moment, Xia Sheng's whole body was glowing. He was desperately operating the Nine Phoenix Furnace, while at the same time holding the World Tree behind him to offset the pressure brought by the ancient lion.

Undoubtedly, the ancient lion must have been an immortal, a supreme being with unparalleled divine power who ruled the world.

"Roar"

At this moment, the ancient lion seemed to have discovered something. It stood up and roared. The entire ancient mine was shaking, it was extremely terrifying.

In an instant, blood gushed out of Xia Sheng's mouth and nose, and the red blood spilled onto the Phoenix Furnace. The Nine-headed Fairy Phoenix shone to the extreme, even making a phoenix cry and bursting out a terrifying light, confronting the ancient lion.

Seeing the figure of the Nine Phoenix Furnace, the ancient lion's green eyes were a little confused. It suddenly stopped, as if thinking about something.

"go!"

Seeing this scene, Xia Sheng didn't bother to think about the relationship between the ancient lion and the Nine Phoenix Furnace. He hurriedly crossed the white sea of ​​bones and fled quickly towards the outside world.

This ancient lion was too powerful when it was alive. Even though it is dead now, I am afraid that only the top group of supreme beings in the Nine Heavens can deal with it. Unbeatable, his current thought is to leave this magic mine as soon as possible.

"Roar"

Just as he reached the previous fork in the road, the deafening lion roar behind him sounded again, the void shattered, and terrifying murderous light poured out.

The ancient lion rushed out.

Looking at the pair of lion eyes that reappeared in the darkness, Xia Sheng gritted his teeth and wanted to go to the black ancient palace to take shelter.

It will take some time to get out of here, so it is better to take a gamble and go to the place where the Six Paths of Reincarnation are inherited.

Those six ancient bodies alone are enough to surpass the ancient lion skeleton. I don’t believe it dares to rush in.

However, just as Xia Sheng turned around and wanted to escape to another fork in the road, he was frightened by a pair of empty eyes.

It was a humanoid creature with empty eyes, disheveled hair, and no expression at all.

"It's him!"

Xia Sheng only felt cold all over. He had seen the golden statue of this person in some ancient temples in the Great Red Sky. This was actually an unparalleled immortal king in the ancient era of immortals.

Immortal Monk King!
The strongest of the ancient monk lineage, was said to have an indestructible body, comparable to a real dragon, and even immune to all kinds of attacks. However, he was eventually besieged by the immortal king from a foreign land and eventually fell.

And now, here, he actually saw the remains of this person?

Or is this just his regret?

"Roar!"

In the distance, the ancient lion roared, shaking the nine heavens. It seemed to be uneasy, or perhaps afraid.

Then, it retreated, obviously fearing the remains of the Immortal King.

The humanoid creature had a blank expression. It stopped briefly on Xia Sheng, or rather, looked at the Nine Phoenix Furnace in his hand, and then turned and left.

He walked towards the direction of the black ancient temple.

Seeing this scene, Xia Sheng's face changed drastically. Without time to think, he hurriedly fled to the outside.

The closer he got to the outside world, the thinner the darkness before his eyes became. He mobilized all his energy and blood, activated the Nine Phoenix Furnace, and ran for his life.

The appearance of the Immortal Monk King temporarily scared away the ancient lion skeleton. But now that he is gone, if the ancient lion comes to kill it again, won’t it be doomed?
Soon, he arrived at the place where the academy disciples were trapped. Without saying a word, he broke the golden magic circle with a dragon fist.

"Stop talking nonsense, and follow me if you want to live!"

There was no time to explain. Xia Sheng quickly expanded the field, surrounded everyone, and then quickly flew towards the outside world.

"what happened?"

Inside the venue, many disciples of the academy were puzzled, but when they saw the serious expression of the Ten-Champion, they were all shocked.

What makes this person feel difficult is probably not a small matter.

However, there were still a few people who were dissatisfied. Being left alone in the ancient mine for so long was a terrible feeling.

"Roar!"

Just as they were about to leave the mine, a deafening lion roar was heard from behind again. The ancient mine trembled, and more than a dozen disciples vomited blood and became weak.

Everyone's faces turned pale. They had heard this kind of lion roar earlier, but they were too far away at that time and could not feel the real terror.

Now, only when they got closer did they realize the horror of the lion's roar. Even with the resistance of the Nine Phoenix Furnace, they still almost died. It was too horrifying.

Is this what the ten-time champion faced? It's hard to imagine how he survived.

In the outside world, the nine heavens were shaking, and billions of stars fell down and quickly sank into the ancient mine, shocking countless people and making them gasp.

"retreat!"

The second elder's expression was extremely serious. He handed Qilin Xiaobai over to another elder and asked them to retreat to the spaceship first and prepare for the worst.

"The Nine Phoenix Furnace has not returned yet. I will wait for them here."

He opened his mouth and prayed in his heart for a miracle to happen.

Several days have passed since Xia Sheng went deep into the ancient mine. If his soul fire had not been extinguished, the Second Elder would have wanted to go in and kill him himself.

boom!
The next moment, red clouds rose into the sky and the figure of Jiuhuanglu flew out of the cave. What was different from the past was that this time there were sixteen more people inside.

"I brought back a good one. Well done!"

Seeing this scene, the second elder was extremely excited and hurried forward to respond.

He is worthy of being the ten-time champion. Not only did he return safely, he also rescued the disciples of the academy. Although they looked listless, fortunately they were all still alive.

"Elder, please leave here quickly. A big guy is coming out."

As soon as they met, without much explanation, Xia Sheng's face was serious and he immediately made clear the seriousness of the matter.

If that ancient lion really breaks out of the ancient mine, I'm afraid the whole Nine Days will be in turmoil.

"Okay, I'll take you away!"

The second elder spoke, and without asking too many questions, he immediately transformed into a giant roc, flapped his wings and flew away, quickly leaving this area of ​​the sky.

The speed was so fast, worthy of being the second elder of the academy. In the blink of an eye, everyone arrived above the starry sky.

"Boom!"

Just at the moment when everyone was leaving, an ancient lion appeared at the edge of the cave. The lion's roar shook the sky, and countless stars exploded. It was terrifying to the extreme.

Everyone who saw this scene was scared half to death.

The supreme aura emanating from that ancient lion was too astonishing. Were they just being chased by this thing? They were really lucky to be able to survive.

Fortunately, the ancient lion seemed to be afraid of something and never left the ancient mine. Instead, it waited for a long time and then turned around and left.
