Chapter 401: A life-threatening situation

Chapter 401: Placing Oneself in a Deadly Situation to Survive

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye…

“Why isn’t he leaving? Are we really going to be trapped here forever?” Lan Xian was frustrated, squatting not far from the Ancient Cave entrance, observing outside.

Ever since that withered old man captured the two of them, he had stood at the exit, as if petrified, not moving at all.

However, they both knew very well that once anyone dared to approach, that being would instantly revive and suppress all enemies!

Fortunately, he also didn’t come in to attack proactively; it was more like an instinct, a执念, responsible for guarding the Ancient Cave.

“It’s time to take the initiative, otherwise we’ll really be trapped to death in this place.”

Lin Fan’s expression was serious as he went to the depths of the Ancient Cave and retrieved the Human Emperor Banner from the Chaos Ancient Pool. It shimmered with dark light, emanating a powerful Divine Might.

Earlier, he had placed the weapon here, intending to temper it through this treasure land to help it advance further.

But now, it seemed the effect was minimal. In a short period, it was impossible for a Supreme Artifact to absorb good fortune and ascend to an Immortal Artifact.

However, there was no other way. The place they were in was very remote. If they waited for someone to rescue them, who knew when that would be.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, just as Lin Fan and Lan Xian were preparing to break out, the Ancient Cave vibrated, faintly emitting a Grand Dao Divine Sound.

It was like a scripture, sealed for countless years, transmitted across ages, and now being chanted in this era.

“What happened?”

Lin Fan and Lan Xian exchanged glances, finding it very strange and bizarre. This was the first time they had encountered something like this in many days.

Subsequently, the entire Ancient Cave underwent a transformation. Various axe marks, Sword Qi marks, and other engravings on the stone walls began to glow, forming immense pressure that blurred space.

Lin Fan was greatly astonished. He and Lan Xian simultaneously acted, using Divine Ability secret arts to resist this terrifying pressure.

“Oh no, the Grand Dao Profound Truth contained within the patterns is manifesting even more.” Lin Fan’s face was solemn, and sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Chaos surged, and ancient engravings appeared on the cave walls. They were very mysterious, depicting ancient people and various strange beasts they had never seen before.

Accompanied by the scripture, they became lifelike, as if they had come alive, releasing vast pressure that was extremely terrifying.

“Chi!”

Suddenly, in one of the engravings, an ancient person moved. He held a sharp sword and unleashed a Sword Qi, cutting out.

The two were dumbfounded; it was too incredible!

The Sword Qi was like a rainbow, piercing through the Void Realm.

“Clang!”

Lin Fan sacrificed his Immortal Cauldron, and sparks flew everywhere, blocking the attack. But his arm was numb, and his tiger’s mouth was bleeding.

“Just an engraving, and it possesses such Divine Might?!”

He was deeply shocked, unable to imagine how powerful the people of that era must have been, and how terrifying the patterns they carved were.

As for Lan Xian, she dared not show her face, sticking to Lin Fan’s back. She didn’t have such a Supreme Treasure to resist.

One must know how terrifying Lin Fan’s Physical Body and strength were, yet he was still injured, which showed the power of that sword strike.

At the same time, they were a bit stunned. If the carving was of a True Immortal, could it even unleash Immortal Light?

“It’s not impossible; the engravings contain the true meaning of the Grand Dao!” Lan Xian judged.

Of course, if such power appeared, it would surely destroy the heavens and earth, something that Human Cultivators could not resist at all.

“Awooo…”

The next moment, the ancient person receded, and a White Tiger emerged, letting out a roar that shook the Ancient Cave, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack.

The killing intent was too strong, like a terrifying tidal wave, and dreadful Geng Metal Qi raged within the cave.

In an instant, Lin Fan coughed up mouthfuls of blood. He even put on his Immortal Dao Armor, glowing as he fought against the White Tiger.

Outside, the Four Elders hurried along, traversing various mountain ranges and even entering several dangerous areas to investigate.

“Where did those two little fellows go? Why is there no trace of them?”

“Eh, what a powerful sound…” The Four Elders’ expression changed. His Realm was close to Supreme, yet hearing that beast roar still made his heart palpitate.

Moreover, he had lived for a long time and naturally knew a thing or two about the strange happenings on the island. Some places were extraordinary, and even a Supreme would be in danger there.

“I just hope those two little fellows didn’t run off to such dangerous places…”

The Four Elders murmured. After staying here for a while and finding nothing, he turned and headed to another place.

Because he also didn’t dare to get too close; this was a forbidden zone on the island, unless one brought an Immortal Artifact to break in.

Inside the Ancient Cave, Lin Fan’s nostrils were red, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. Encountering such a tiger roar, even a Void Realm being would explode.

“Are you alright?” Lan Xian was startled, a hint of worry rising in her.

Immediately, she was brought into the Immortal Cauldron by Lin Fan, so she was unharmed.

“I saved your life again. Remember to repay me by marrying me, or ten divine medicines will do.” Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying this.

Lan Xian was torn between laughter and tears. At such a time, this cheap Junior Brother still had the mind to tease her and ask for repayment.

“We can’t stay. If a few more waves of such attacks come, I really won’t be able to hold on.” Lin Fan looked at the receding White Tiger, very cautious.

That roar just now would have been dangerous if he hadn’t been wearing Immortal Dao Armor and holding the Immortal Cauldron.

“Then you mean to…”

“Place oneself in a deadly situation to survive; throw oneself into a desperate situation to endure!”

“We definitely can’t force our way through the exit; that being is even more dangerous. It’s better to take a gamble and follow the direction of the scripture chanting. Perhaps there’s a glimmer of hope.”

Lin Fan’s eyes were deep, and he immediately took action, walking forward, approaching the place where the chanting sound came from.

At this moment, his pressure grew even greater, as if knives were slashing, long spears were thrusting horizontally… and heavy hammers were smashing down.

From time to time, several powerful beings appeared, such as the Vermilion Bird, whose scorching high temperatures almost cooked him alive.

“What kind of place is this exactly?”

Lin Fan was horrified, his whole body uncomfortable. The further he walked in, the more suffocating it felt, as if his Soul was about to shatter.

He felt a chill down his spine, as if a sharp knife was held to his throat, and with a slight force, it could sever his head.

This place was very strange. All the imprints of the beings of the Heavens appeared. He didn’t know who created this place; it was too mysterious.

Next, the Ancient Cave became darker and darker, silent and dim. A cold wind blew, as if walking on a path to Hell.

He didn’t know how long it had been, Lin Fan’s steps never stopped, but he still hadn’t reached the end, and the killing intent on him grew more severe.

In an instant, he felt as if he was being slashed by invisible sharp swords. His skin was cracking, and golden blood dripped from many places.

Fortunately, the journey was full of scares but no real danger. He was well prepared, with Immortal Treasure protection, and walked through this dangerous path.

“Temporarily safe.” Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back, he seriously suspected that if he had been alone and not wearing his battle armor, he probably would have disintegrated.

However, this path was truly not simple; it was more like the strongest trial, but not for Heavenly Gods to temper themselves.

“This… this is simply a Battle Immortal Record. If one comes here to cultivate when their Realm is high and comprehends all the Grand Dao Profound Truths, it will definitely benefit them for life.”

Lin Fan murmured, pondering carefully. Even in the Immortal Ancient era, this was probably an extraordinary place.

Unfortunately, his current Realm was not high enough, otherwise he would very much want to sit here in meditation and comprehend the true diagrams carved by the ancients.
