Lin Fan and Su Qiong were directly frightened to the bottom of the deep pit.
Indeed, it was as Yuan Dao said, only about a kilometer deep.
The temperature below the cave was very high, visibility was extremely low, and a black mist enveloped Lin Fan and Su Qiong all around, rendering them almost unable to see anything.
Yet Yuan Dao, Liu Yuan, Zhou Fang, Li Tiannian, and Yi Xuanxuan disappeared without a trace!
"Lin Fan, I'm a little scared."
Su Qiong came over, her delicate body pressed tightly against Lin Fan, a maiden's fragrance wafting over, very pleasant.
"It's okay, I'm here." Lin Fan comforted her.
At the entrance of the deep pit.
Yuan Dao, Liu Yuan, Zhou Fang, Li Tiannian, and Yi Xuanxuan were standing there, coldly overlooking the deep pit ahead.
Just now, after they entered the deep pit, they didn't go all the way to the bottom but instead flew halfway and clung to the cliff walls, waiting for Lin Fan and Su Qiong to reach the bottom before returning to the surface.
Due to the black mist inside the pit, which could shield Divine Sense, Lin Fan couldn't detect their presence even as he passed alongside them.
"What should we do now?" Zhou Fang frowned tightly and asked.
"Let's go! Those two are doomed. Although there's indeed an inheritance below... but... the thing guarding this inheritance... hehe, whoever comes must die! We went down with ten people, five died... Lin Fan, if you survive, it'll be a miracle!" Yuan Dao sneered and shook his head, regretting that such a supreme genius as Lin Fan was about to die below.
Lin Fan, such a talent, dying due to Yuan Dao's scheme filled Yuan Dao with a sense of excitement.
"But before we leave, let's give him a little gift!"
Yuan Dao gave a sinister smile.
A Black Gold Treasure Saber emerged from his palm!
Yuan Dao shouted hoarsely, his voice somewhat fierce, and slashed dozens of times towards the edge of the cliff!
A Sixth Rank Saint Emperor's full power strike, each slash equivalent to a small nuclear explosion.
The cliff cave ahead collapsed with a rumbling, crashing directly down, countless massive rocks thunderously falling, completely covering the cave!
"Now, let's see if you survive," Yuan Dao sneered.
At the bottom of the deep pit.
"What sound is that?" Su Qiong raised her head, surprised as she looked overhead.
"Bad! Damn it, the cave is collapsing!" Lin Fan's expression changed drastically, wrapping an arm around Su Qiong's waist and darting swiftly in one direction.
They had just moved away when hundreds of million-ton boulders crashed down where they had stood.
This terrifying boulder wouldn't harm them much by just one or two rocks, but hundreds combined... even a Saint Emperor would need to dodge them.
Lin Fan had a terrifying recovery ability, so even if struck by a rock, he'd be fine.
But Su Qiong was different, she would certainly be severely injured!
Moreover, at the bottom of this deep pit, the final outcome would've been.... only death!
Su Qiong exclaimed with delight, "Lin Fan, my bracelet... it's reacting!"
Lin Fan looked down at the Su Qiong in his arms, seeing her bracelet glowing with a bright blue light, nearly illuminating the entire underground cave as bright as day.
Under the brilliant light from the bracelet, another deeper cave entrance appeared before Lin Fan and Su Qiong.
"Lin Fan, we're so lucky! We've found the inheritance of a supreme power!" Su Qiong's face was flushed with excitement.
Some disappointment lingered; everything seemed too smooth, once she inherited the supreme power, she would definitely be teleported back to Sumeru Continent, meaning she must part with Lin Fan.
Su Qiong felt a bit unwilling!
"Let's go then!" Lin Fan smiled.
Su Qiong hesitated, she didn't want to part from Lin Fan, but there was no choice.
After a moment of silence, Su Qiong shook her head and, alongside Lin Fan, walked hand in hand into the cave entrance.
Just as Lin Fan and Su Qiong stepped into the cave.
A terrifying fetid wind surged toward them.
A black shadow opened its gaping maw and directly devoured Lin Fan and Su Qiong.
"Damn humans! Disturbing my rest repeatedly, damn it!"
Only then did Lin Fan realize that the black shadow was a monstrous python, covered in black scales, each as large as a truck on Earth, enough to gauge the horror of the python's size.
On closer look, the black python had Dragon Horns on its head! The source of thɪs content is novel·fiɾe·net
And on its abdomen, there were four legs similar to dragon claws!
Rather than saying it was a python, it was more like a black dragon!
The aura of this black dragon was incredibly terrifying, surpassing the limits of a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor and entering the next realm.
The sudden change triggered a rapid reaction from Lin Fan.
As Lin Fan raised his hand, he shouted lowly, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand struck with full force, without any reservation, twenty Dragon Bones within his body illuminated, six hundred billion pounds of power, combined with the brilliance of Xuanyuan Sword!!!
The two combined, slashing fiercely at the black python's head!
After the slash, Lin Fan swiftly retreated with Su Qiong's slender waist in his arms.
A deafening blast erupted, the entire cave trembling, the force of six hundred billion pounds crashing down, the terrifying sound nearly bursting Lin Fan and Su Qiong's eardrums.
Su Qiong's blood surged uncontrollably, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood violently.
Lin Fan also suffered, a trickle of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Yet the massive black python, its colossal body merely quivered, not leaving a trace on its scales, Lin Fan's sword strike with six hundred billion pounds of force couldn't harm the black python at all!
"Emperor Jade, what is this thing? It's so terrifying!" Lin Fan was shocked inside.
Even a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor facing his sword would suffer severe injury, wouldn't they?
This black python was completely unharmed?
"Of course, because it's a Swallowing Sky Python! It's akin to the Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon Clan; it's the Ancestor Serpent of all serpents! Such beings shouldn't appear in a middle-level realm! Even in high-level realms, they're rare!" Emperor Jade explained.
"Swallowing Sky Python?" Lin Fan's body trembled.
Swallowing Sky Python!
Just 'Swallowing Sky' was enough to testify to its terror!
The black Swallowing Sky Python's enormous eyes, large as houses, flickered with a greedy gleam: "Oh? Your blood..."
"Such powerful Bloodline Power! Hahaha!"
"Truly heaven's aid, I've been trapped here for eighty million years, finally… finally about to be freed! Hahaha! Once I devour you, drink your blood, I am certain to ascend as a dragon!"
The Swallowing Sky Python seemed frenzied, greedily eyeing Lin Fan with longing.
