Chapter 914: Chapter 583: Divining the Road Ahead, Strange Creature (Part 2)

Suddenly, Lu Qing sensed a warning and looked down, only to see a black light rapidly attacking the two of them.

"Be careful!"

Lu Qing warned, and at the same time, with a thought, a Sword Qi had already slashed at that black light.

Boom!

The Sword Qi accurately struck the black shadow, and a powerful strong energy erupted, stirring up waves of air.

The black shadow was immediately repelled, continuously tumbling downward, falling back into the forest.

"Hm?"

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

He felt that his Sword Qi seemed to have struck an extremely hard object, shattering, without actually cutting through it.

"What is that?"

The sudden attack scared Five Treasure Taoist.

He hadn’t sensed the danger beforehand.

"Not sure, seems to be some kind of creature."

Lu Qing looked towards the Forest Sea below, his expression serious.

He found that after the thing fell into the forest, his spiritual sense could no longer detect its trace.

"Ah Qing, at the lower left!"

At this moment, Little Li’s Divine Soul Transmission suddenly rang in Lu Qing’s mind.

Lu Qing immediately looked towards the lower left of the forest, and sure enough, saw a flicker of a black shadow.

His gaze focused, and mana surged out from within him.

A Glazed Palm, several tens of feet wide and shimmering with colorful brilliant light, was condensed by him and slapped down.

Crash!

The power of this palm was extremely fierce.

The mountains and forests below, within a surrounding radius of several tens of feet, were instantly shattered, and the overwhelming power caused a large portion of the Forest Sea to undulate like waves.

Seeing the terrifying scene he had caused, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

He tightly watched below, and sure enough, among the scattered debris of trees, a black shadow was fleeing frantically.

However, no matter how it fled, it could not escape the range covered by the Five Elements Ten Thousand Skill Palm.

With a thought, Lu Qing suddenly clenched the Five Elements Ten Thousand Skill Palm, and the strong Sealing Power immediately suppressed the black shadow till it was immobilized, pinched in his palm.

Then the Five Elements Ten Thousand Skill Palm rapidly shrank, constantly rising, and by the time it returned before Lu Qing, it had become only half human size.

Five Treasure Taoist blankly watched this scene before him, especially the clear handprint impressed upon the Forest Sea below, feeling very astonished.

This was the first time Lu Qing had displayed an offensive Taoist Skill before him.

But the power of its might was so strong that it filled him with great shock.

All along, Five Treasure Taoist knew that Lu Qing’s strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Otherwise, the few Inner Sect True Disciples of Qiankun Sect would not be so respectful to Lu Qing.

Even in his estimation, Lu Qing was likely a strong practitioner who had already stepped into the Late-stage Golden Core.

And now, Lu Qing’s action this time confirmed his suspicions.

The power of this palm could not possibly be initiated by one at the Golden Core Middle Realm.

Lu Qing paid no attention to Five Treasure Taoist’s expression as he observed the thing he had just captured.

"Mr. Chen, what is this thing?"

At this time, Five Treasure Taoist came back to his senses, also looking at the black shadow suppressed within the Five Elements Ten Thousand Skill Palm.

Upon closer inspection, they finally discovered that it was actually a creature with scale armor, wings, four claws, and a long tail, resembling a mouse in appearance.

"What is this monster?"

Seeing clearly the appearance of the black shadow, Five Treasure Taoist was extremely surprised.

This type of creature, he had never heard of before.

"Not sure." Lu Qing shook his head, "This little thing’s physical body is very tough; even my Sword Qi struggled to cut it, and it seems to be naturally adept at concealing its presence, clearly not an ordinary creature."

Remembering this point, Lu Qing still felt somewhat shocked.

His current strength was incredibly formidable.

Even without using full strength, the Sword Qi he executed was not something an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator could withstand.

Even a cultivator of the Golden Core Middle Realm, if struck by his Sword Qi, would either die or be seriously injured.

But this creature being suppressed here didn’t show a strong aura, merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Despite taking a solid hit from his Sword Qi, it had only a part of its scale armor sliced off.

A mere Foundation Establishment Realm creature having such a strong physical body is indeed unbelievable.

More critically, he did not feel any presence of Spiritual Power inside this strange creature.

The opposite seemed to be powerful purely in terms of the physical body, without any other power.

Though the black creature was suppressed, its eyes still radiated a fierce light, staring fixedly at Lu Qing and Five Treasure Taoist.

It seemed to bear some deep grudge against the two of them.

Seeing this, Lu Qing slightly moved his mind, quietly activated the Superpower and observed it.

Why did he uncharacteristically expose part of his strength to capture this strange creature?

It was naturally to use the Superpower to investigate its origins to see if he could extract any information about this secret realm.

As Lu Qing probed, after a while, a faint golden Superpower Light emerged from the strange creature’s body, and several lines of information floated out.

[Xuanlin Black Mouse: A powerful creature from the Tianshu Divine Mountain Trial Secret Realm.]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Realm perfection.]

[Xuanlin Black Mouse’s bloodline is peculiar, and its physical body is strong, with scale armor that is incredibly tough, hard to be harmed by a Magical Treasure.]

[This creature has simple spiritual wisdom and, for some reason, holds a very strong hostility towards all creatures outside the Trial Secret Realm.]

[The creatures within Tianshu Divine Mountain Trial Secret Realm all contain mysterious bloodlines. After refining and absorbing them, one can markedly enhance the physical body strength.]

...

"Xuanlin Black Mouse, Trial Secret Realm?"

When Lu Qing finished reading those lines of information, his heart skipped a beat.

From these lines, he obtained quite crucial information.

Firstly, this secret realm did not appear to be the legendary blessed secret realm enriched with innumerable opportunities and treasures.

But rather a Trial Secret Realm evolved for some purpose.

As for what trial, it was unknown.

But clearly, from this point, it seemed that Tianshu Divine Mountain, as many cultivators had speculated, was likely not naturally formed.

But was created by some super force or mysterious existence in the Ancient Era countless millennia ago.

It was unclear why this Trial Secret Realm suddenly appeared.

And what the so-called trial referred to.

"Mr. Chen, can you discern the origin of this thing?"

Five Treasure Taoist saw Lu Qing staring at the strange creature and couldn’t help but ask.

"I can’t tell." Lu Qing shook his head, "However, the monster’s strength should not be underestimated, though the aura it reveals is only at the Foundation Establishment level.

But its physical body is strong, its claws and teeth are sharp, and it moves extremely fast, able to hide its presence.

In this strange secret realm, even for a Golden Core realm cultivator, carelessness and an attack by it could lead to a regrettable end."

"You’re right, in this secret realm, Spiritual Energy is extraordinarily thin, and the space is heavy, limiting our spiritual sense to a significant extent.

If one is unaware of the creature beforehand and is suddenly attacked, it could indeed take one by complete surprise."

Five Treasure Taoist recalled the scene when the creature suddenly rushed out from the Forest Sea below and nodded in deep agreement.

If not for Lu Qing’s presence, he might have been gravely injured if not dead alone at that time.

"This secret realm is getting stranger and stranger, this kind of creature has never appeared in previous secret realms."
