Two hundred thousand feet underground, in a sealed underground palace, there was a headless golden corpse whose heart was still beating!
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li had seen this in person, he would have thought it was a fairy tale.
At this moment, although he didn't probe very clearly, he was a hundred percent sure that what he had probed was true.
He sensed a horrifying energy from the corpse, 10 times stronger than that of the Dragon Demon.
Lu Li felt like he had become a baby, surrounded by the energy of a mad lion.
Lu Li felt the coldness piercing to his bones. His hair stood on end. From the depth of his soul came a sense of fatal danger. At the moment … he felt numb and he could not move at all.
Why was there a completely sealed underground palace below?
Why was there a headless corpse?
Why was it so large?
The neck of the corpse was cut open. It was clear that the corpse was dead. Why was there a heartbeat?
Why was the energy of the corpse so horrifying?
There were so many questions …
Lu Li did not have the time to think. The only thing he wanted to do was to run away. If he did not, he might have to stay here forever.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
He abruptly bit his tongue, and the sharp pain jolted him back to his senses. He took a deep breath and flew upwards with all his might.
One thousand feet, one mile!
When the chilly energy disappeared, Lu Li felt relieved. He took out his Bead of Life and sped up to the top of his speed. In the time for a few breaths, he was out of the cave.
"Phew, phew!"
As soon as he was out, Lu Li dropped to the ground, gasping for air. He was soaked in cold sweat. Fear lingered in his eyes as if he had just escaped from the netherworld.
"Saint Lord, what is it?"
Ke Mang was still up there. Noticing Lu Li's state, Ke Mang hurried over and asked. His face was filled with astonishment.
Lu Li was so powerful and yet he rarely showed such expressions. What had he been through?
"Seal the cave, now!"
Lu Li took another deep breath. He added after some thoughts, "No, not this cave, but the entire ground down there. Now!"
"Okay!"
Ke Mang did not ask more questions. Something must have happened, given how serious Lu Li sounded.
He hurriedly set up a Restriction Array Formation on the ground below, sealing off the area with a radius of a thousand feet.
Lu Li had been checking with psychic power. When Ke Mang was done with the formation, he was relieved when nothing rushed out.
"Seal a few more layers!"
Even though Lu Li knew that even with 100 layers of seals, the headless body would not be able to stop it if it wanted to come out. Still, Lu Li felt it was safer.
Ke Mang continued to set up restrictions. After four to five layers, he finally stopped and asked, "Saint Lord, what exactly is down there?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's go!"
Lu Li flew up and Ke Mang followed him. Lu Li flew into the Dragon Fortress. Noticing Lu Li's change, Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked with raised eyebrows, "What is going on?"
"Below the Ascending Dragon Path …"
Lu Li told them what he saw. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang felt their hair standing on end and chills running down their spines.
"A thousand feet long headless corpse?
Completely golden?
A pair of wings?
Are you sure it is a human body, not a beast? "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked with wide eyes. Lu Li said with certainty, "It is a human body. There is no energy of beasts on him. Apart from the pair of wings, he looks just like a human.
You know … when beasts die, they usually return to their original forms. I think it is a human body.
No … it is not accurate to call it a human body. I can clearly feel that his heart is still beating, rhythmically! "
"Rhythmically?"
At this point, Lu Li suddenly remembered something. In the Ascending Dragon Path, he sensed a strange fluctuation that was rhythmically as well.
That fluctuation came from underground. Could it be that … the pulse of the earth in the Ascending Dragon Path came from that headless body?
It was highly possible!
Lu Li was even more certain that the heartbeat of the headless body had resonated with the Ascending Dragon Path.
The heartbeat contained a special pattern, which was why it was easy to learn Profound Meanings in the Ascending Dragon Path.
"Such a big body?
How can a heart beat without a head?
And it is 10 times stronger than the Dragon Demon?
Is this … an immortal's body? "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement murmured. Ke Mang could not believe it. "How can an immortal's body appear in the mortal world?
How can it be in the Paleo-beast Realm? "
"Master of Fairy Fox, come in!"
Lu Li could not figure out the answer himself. He shouted and Master of Fairy Fox came in. Lu Li asked, "Do you paleo-beasts have a kind of beast that is golden in color, one thousand feet tall, has a pair of wings on its back, and is 10 times stronger than the Dragon Demon?"
"How is that possible?"
Master of Fairy Fox shook her head. "Master, that spiritual beast of yours is comparable to a middle-level Mythical Beast, 10 times stronger. It must be an immortal at the very least.
In the heyday of the paleo-beasts, there were beasts that became immortals. But that was in ancient times, two million years ago.
Also … I have never heard of a beast of this size. "
"I found a body at the Ascending Dragon Path!"
Master of Fairy Fox was Lu Li's spiritual beast. It was okay for her to know. Therefore, Lu Li told Master of Fairy Fox what he found.
He wanted her to analyze carefully and draw some conclusions based on the situation in the Paleo-beast Realm.
"A headless body!"
Master of Fairy Fox was frightened. Her beautiful eyes were filled with horror, and her face was slightly pale. Thinking that there was such a terrifying existence not far from them, she felt a little uneasy.
"This is definitely not a paleo-beast!"
Master of Fairy Fox said with certainty after some thought, "We beasts will transform back to our original forms after we die. Saint Lord, you said that his head was cut off. Then, he must be dead.
Therefore, it is unlikely that he is a beast. The Paleo-beast Realm has never seen a beast with this kind of appearance.
Also … the most powerful one in the Paleo-beast Realm is the 14th Master of Silver Dragon. He is only at the later stage of Mythical Beast. He is much weaker than that headless body. This must be an immortal's body! "
"Yes!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang nodded in agreement. The energy of this headless body was 10 times stronger than that of the Dragon Demon. When he was alive, he must have been a hundred times stronger than the Dragon Demon. There was no doubt that he was an immortal.
But the question was …
How could this headless body appear in the Paleo-beast Realm? His heart was still beating. Was he dead or not?
How could they deal with this headless body?
"Right!"
