"Roar—"
The bizarre creature desperately howled within the Great Dao Treasure Vase.
It struggled with all its might to escape, but it was all in vain.
The flames scorched its body, actually refining origin power to provide to the young human; the creature simply couldn't believe this fact.
"Who are you!"
"Why can you restrain the power of the Holy God!"
Luo Yu smiled, "You talk too much."
He exerted force in his hands, increasing the intensity of the flame's scorching, and the bizarre creature immediately let out a scream of agony.
"Ah!!"
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible for this to happen."
The creature's voice grew weaker as its power quickly drained away.
Meanwhile, the White-Haired Goddess was extremely shocked.
She truly hadn't expected Luo Yu to be so formidable, able to handle even such a bizarre creature.
The moment the creature was refined, Luo Yu's momentum soared.
But it was quickly suppressed by him.
This was not the time for a breakthrough; forcibly increasing his aura
would only invite the five thunderbolts atop his head.
In this kilometer-deep underground cliff, the sight before them was a complete mess.
Corroded by the creature into an unrecognizable state.
The White-Haired Goddess frowned and stepped forward, "This type of creature is too terrifying."
"It could virtually devour everything, leading to complete destruction."
Luo Yu smiled, "To be exact, it should be assimilation, able to assimilate all forces into the so-called 'Ink'."
The White-Haired Goddess looked deeply at Luo Yu, "I don't understand why the elder in my memory wanted me to assist you."
"You clearly don't need my help."
Luo Yu's expression stiffened.
That question, he wanted to ask her, only to find it seems she didn't know either?
He was at a loss for words.
The Venerable Sovereign, oh Venerable Sovereign, what kind of riddle are you playing with us?
As for the five handprints on the Bronze Gate of The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor,
He had already gathered four.
Zhen Fu'er, Dajiuer, and the White-Haired Goddess were involved, but what was the deeper meaning behind this?
So far, he could only tell that the White-Haired Goddess was very strong but also unable to cope with the "Ink" creature—what help could she be to him?
The last creature that left the red beast's claw print, he had no idea where it was; he would have to rely on the Bagua Bronze Mirror to deduce its location later.
Otherwise, he had no leads at all.
Wait a minute!
Luo Yu's eyes lit up.
It seemed there was actually a way.
But for now, it was time to leave this place; he called out to the White-Haired Goddess.
"Let's go, but you need to control your power well, or I fear the force of the Heavenly Punishment might find you."
"Don't worry."
The White-Haired Goddess had lost her memory but was very precise in controlling power.
Luo Yu explored the underground cliff once more.
After ensuring there were no hidden dangers, he broke through the ice surface with the White-Haired Goddess and returned to the surface.
The White-Haired Goddess retracted her cold aura, waved her hand casually, and the temperature of Changbai Mountain began to rise and warm instantly. The ferocious beasts that had been previously frozen
were now beginning to regain their vitality.
Luo Yu was surprised. He hadn't expected the White-Haired Goddess' skills to be so formidable.
It was not ordinary icy cold.
She could even freeze vitality itself.
Luo Yu watched the reviving ferocious beasts around him, thinking there wasn't a single good creature among them.
He snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the world seemed to quiet down as all the ferocious beasts burst open.
Vanishing within the spatial rifts.
"Swish, swish!"
Luo Yu brought the White-Haired Goddess back to Han Dynasty's Great Tomb.
Only this time, they entered a side chamber, the same tomb where the owner of the red beast's claw mark had disappeared.
"Summon thee, Roaring Celestial Dog."
"With the universe boundless, track for thousands of miles."
Luo Yu channeled the canine's Great Divine Power, and in an instant his senses did not just increase by a thousand times.
"Fragrant!"
"Way too fragrant."
Following the trail of the scent that wafted through the air, Luo Yu almost collided with the White-Haired Goddess.
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you acting like a dog?"
The White-Haired Goddess blinked her icy crystal eyelashes, staring blankly at him.
Luo Yu was speechless and quickly sensed a powerful presence.
However, it was already very faint.
It seemed that the other party had left this place a long time ago.
"Let's go!"
Following the scent trail, Luo Yu led the White-Haired Goddess in pursuit.
He was dumbstruck when they reached the outside world.
"What's wrong?" asked the White-Haired Goddess.
Luo Yu was shocked, "The scent has vanished into thin air."
"You must have missed something," the White-Haired Goddess said.
Luo Yu shook his head.
He fully activated the Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations, radiating a strong golden light from his body.
The Great Divine Power of the Roaring Celestial Dog was enhanced to an epic level.
Luo Yu suddenly looked up at the sky.
"What is it this time?"
"The scent I smelled, it flew upwards, it didn't travel on the ground."
Both of them also took to the air, and astonishingly, they followed the scent all the way to the atmospheric layer.
Luo Yu and the White-Haired Goddess were both astounded, exchanging looks of disbelief.
"Are you sure your search was right?"
Luo Yu said confusedly, "It left the atmospheric layer?"
He was infuriated inside, what in the world was this thing? If it had left the atmosphere, the universe was so vast, where was he supposed to search for it?
He glanced at his phone, which had numerous missed calls and text messages.
The public trial of the Great Xia traitor, Zhao Yingtian, had arrived.
It would take place in the public square of The Capital Base City, with the Eight Kings of Great Xia and all the high-ranking officials present, and countless people had come to watch.
First, Luo Yu took the White-Haired Goddess back to the Luo Family Villa.
After hiding his treasure in the golden house, he then rushed to the square.
At this moment, the square in The Capital Base City was packed like a sea of people.
However, the faces of the crowd were filled with anger and contempt.
"Traitor!"
"The traitor of Great Xia."
"Never thought Zhao Yingtian would betray our Great Xia and act as a traitor to the Han."
"What a disgrace."
"Put him on trial, kill him!!"
The crowd was excited and furious; if not for the order maintained by some people,
many were ready to start throwing things into the square.
Zhao Yingtian was bound in chains, suppressed in the middle of the square.
With his Cultivation Level sealed, he made no struggle. His hair had turned completely white days before, his entire being had aged too much, but his eyes were still bright and showed no remorse.
Sitting in a higher position, Luo Tiance and others were full of incomprehension.
Zhao Yingtian had earned great merit for Great Xia, having shed his blood for his country.
Why would he betray in the end?
Zhao Yunliu of the Zhao Family, along with other family members, had traveled a long distance to be present,
not understanding why their family head had set them on this path of no return,
to be forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
The various family heads and Super-grade Martial Artists were waiting, as were the people, for one man.
"Rip!"
Space tore apart, and Luo Yu stepped out.
The previously subdued crowd instantly erupted with joy and excitement.
"God's Child!"
"It's Godchild Luo Yu."
A spot had already been reserved for him at the scene, a position of absolute central leadership.
But Luo Yu did not take his seat, instead he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let the trial begin."
"Please take a seat, I'll remain standing."
He too was curious why Zhao Yingtian had betrayed them. Was it for money?
Because he was afraid to die?
Or was it for some other reason?
As the trial began, Liu Shengji said resentfully, "Zhao Yingtian, why did you betray Great Xia?"
Zhao Yingtian shook his head, "I... have never betrayed."
