After a weightless sensation that lasted half an incense stick, Chen Sanshi's vision gradually returned to normal.
He found himself in a canyon.
The place was narrow and deep. Biting gales howled without cease, carrying demonic baleful qi that scraped through his meridians and primordial spirit like bone-shaving blades.
This place looked...
Nothing like a palace at all. Rather, it resembled some relic from the Ancient Era.
Chen Sanshi remained calm as still water. Keeping close to one of the jagged canyon walls, which resembled the fangs of some monstrous beast, he proceeded deeper at an unhurried pace.
After traveling less than a hundred zhang, a cave shrouded in immense shadow ahead caught his attention.
The demonic baleful qi wafting from within the cave seemed several degrees denser than elsewhere, and a faintly fishy stench drifted out.
Chen Sanshi narrowed his eyes slightly. Rather than approaching rashly, he concealed his aura and took out a worthless miniature flying sword. With a flick of his finger, he sent it shooting into the cave.
"Buzz!"
The instant the sword landed, the demonic qi within the concave rock wall rippled violently like stagnant water struck by a stone.
At almost the same moment, three ghostly shadows shot out from the deepest darkness like phantoms!
Chen Sanshi focused his gaze.
He saw...
Three enormous Demonic Beasts. They appeared to be some kind of blade mantis, their bodies covered in jet-black carapaces, their blade-like arms over a zhang long and flashing with eerie blue demonic patterns that made one's heart tremble.
However.
Their cultivation was not high, merely Core Formation.
The reason Chen Sanshi's primordial spirit had failed to see through their true forms earlier was entirely due to the strange demonic baleful qi.
He flicked his finger again.
Three small serpents formed from Nirvana
