MTLNOVEL Chapter 778: Demonic Path Colossus, Thousand-Faced Master?
Finally, they arrived in front of the Stone Gate.
Luo Chen reached out his hand, touching the runes in an attempt to break the seal of the Stone Gate.
"These runes seem to require a specific order to unlock." Luo Chen frowned and said.
Qing Shuang nodded, taking out a piece of paper from her bosom, which recorded the Secret Realm map given to them by Elder Xuan Ji Zi of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
"Perhaps there are clues about the runes on this map." Qing Shuang said.
Luo Chen took the map and studied it carefully.
After some deliberation, he finally found a way to unlock the Stone Gate.
"I understand, Qing Shuang, let's give it a try." Luo Chen said.
The two of them began entering the correct sequence of runes on the Stone Gate according to the clues on the map.
With the final rune in place, the Stone Gate emitted a heavy rumbling sound and slowly opened.
Beyond the Stone Gate was an unknown darkness. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took a deep breath, knowing there was no turning back once they stepped through the door.
"Let's go." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang nodded, and they stepped through the Stone Gate shoulder to shoulder.
The world beyond the door was completely different from what they had imagined, full of mystery and the unknown.
"Is this the depths of the Endless Dark Pool?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice.
Luo Chen looked around, his eyes shining with the light of exploration, "It seems so. Let's be cautious."
They continued forward, and the surroundings became increasingly strange.
They discovered some ancient ruins and some strange creatures.
Every exploration was filled with the unknown and danger, but they never retreated.
In one exploration, they discovered a hidden cave, which seemed to conceal some powerful force.
"Let's go in and have a look." Luo Chen suggested.
Qing Shuang nodded, and the two of them carefully entered the cave.
Deep within the cave, they found an ancient altar, atop which lay a crystal emitting a faint glow.
"What is this?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.
Luo Chen stepped forward, carefully observing the crystal, "This seems to be an energy source, perhaps it can help us better understand the Endless Dark Pool."
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen had a deep interest in these ancient things.
Luo Chen reached out his hand, gently touching the crystal.
Suddenly, the crystal emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the two of them within it.
"What's happening?" Qing Shuang exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Chen shook his head, feeling a powerful force pouring into his body.
This force seemed to be transforming his body, making him feel an unprecedented strength.
"Qing Shuang, I feel a power..." Luo Chen's voice carried a trace of excitement.
Qing Shuang looked at Luo Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She could feel the aura around Luo Chen growing stronger and stronger.
"This power seems to help us better control our strength." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing this would undoubtedly be a huge help for their adventure.
They stayed in the cave for a long time, until Luo Chen had fully absorbed the power from the crystal.
When they left the cave, they felt their strength had significantly improved.
"Now, we have more confidence to face the challenges of the Endless Dark Pool." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, Luo Chen, let's continue."
With those words, the two of them continued to delve deeper into the Endless Dark Pool.
However, this time they hadn't gone very far.
Tremendous terrifying tremors began to emerge.
All around, the Endless Dark Pool exuded strange and eerie lights.
A demonic beast the size of a small mountain appeared in front of Luo Chen, entirely dark green and covered in tumor-like growths, somewhat resembling a toad.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, seeing a trace of astonishment in each other's eyes.
The appearance of this demonic beast was completely unexpected.
"What... what kind of monster is this?" Qing Shuang's voice trembled slightly.
Luo Chen gripped the sword in his hand tightly, saying in a deep voice, "No matter what it is, we cannot back down. Qing Shuang, are you ready?"
Qing Shuang took a deep breath and nodded, "Ready."
The demonic beast seemed to sense their determination, letting out a deafening roar that made the surrounding rock walls start to tremble.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang steadied themselves, preparing for the impending battle.
"Luo Chen, look at its skin, it seems very tough." Qing Shuang reminded.
Luo Chen observed and found the demonic beast's skin covered in a thick layer of scales, making ordinary attacks unlikely to inflict damage.
"We must find its weakness." He said.
The two of them dodged the demonic beast's attacks while searching for an opportunity.
Every attack from the demonic beast brought massive destruction, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had to respond with extreme caution.
"Luo Chen, I have an idea." Qing Shuang suddenly said.
"What idea?" Luo Chen asked, dodging the demonic beast's claws.
"I remember reading in the Ancient Tome of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion that although this type of demonic beast is thick-skinned, its abdomen is relatively weak. We can try attacking from below." Qing Shuang explained.
A gleam of light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, "Alright, let's give it a try. You distract it, and I'll find an opportunity to attack."
Qing Shuang nodded, taking a Talisman Paper from her waist, and infused it with True Qi. The talisman instantly transformed into a beam of golden light, shooting straight toward the demonic beast's eyes.
