Boom!
The massive black cauldron crashed down. The instant it struck the ground, the earth shook violently, and those demonic beasts were crushed directly into bloody pulp.
As the cauldron suppressed the demonic beasts, Shen Xiu swiftly rushed into a huge cave.
After entering the cave, Shen Xiu swept his gaze across his surroundings.
The cave was covered in interwoven black-and-white runes. These runes were a dim gray, yet the aura they emitted was enough to make one tremble with fear. Even Shen Xiu's heart could not help but pound once at that aura.
This was Death Power.
