The Ancient God Haohe

Sang Ying turned her head sharply and saw that the man who had been dealing with the two monster corpses just a second ago was now behind her.

If Sang Ying hadn't been a mentally strong person, she probably would have been so frightened that her limbs would have gone weak and she would have fallen off the mountainside.

The man had a head of black hair that fell down his back, and his robes looked tattered and worn, no longer resembling their original appearance; they seemed to serve only as a means of covering his body at best.

His face was covered in red scars, and pink scars divided his face into several parts.

Sang Ying didn't dare to look at this person too closely, but even that one glance made her realize that there was nothing under his feet!

So fast, and he can even walk on air... Is he a god or an immortal?

Before Sang Ying could figure out the answer, the wild-looking man spoke first, "A little girl with only the Spirit Transformation cultivation dares to run into the Gods and Devils Ravine. These days, there are more and more people who aren't afraid of death."

Sang Ying pursed her lips and explained, "Senior, I didn't come here on purpose. Someone abandoned me."

"Interesting. Anyone who can find this place must be either a god or an immortal. Why would they target a Human Race who hasn't even ascended yet?" The man had a smile on his lips, but his gaze towards Sang Ying was anything but friendly.

He reached out his hand, and Sang Ying tried to dodge, but her whole body stiffened, and she could no longer move.

The man grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up. "A good day's hunt. I'm tired of coming here every day to hunt these things, let's take a living person back to relieve some boredom."

After saying that, he didn't ask Sang Ying's opinion and simply took her away.

The spirit in Sang Ying's arms didn't dare to utter a single word, and just obediently huddled in her arms as they were taken back to the man's residence.

To be precise, the Gods and Devils Ravine is like a dumping ground for the God Race and Immortal Race; everything here is either broken or contaminated.

The man's house was also pieced together from various utensils, especially the roof, which was full of holes and couldn't even keep out the rain.

Fortunately, it never rains in the Gods and Devils Ravine.

As soon as the man returned, he casually tossed Sang Ying aside. He then washed the things he had obtained from the two monsters and stuffed them into his mouth.

Looking from Sang Ying's perspective, one could clearly see that the man had stuffed two crystals into his mouth. These crystals resembled Spirit Stone, but Spirit Stone also somewhat different, though they still contained considerable energy.

The man did not release Sang Ying from his control. Only after she swallowed two crystals did he raise a finger at Sang Ying, and Sang Ying finally found her voice.

"Tell me, who are you? And how did you offend someone and end up here?" The man was perhaps lonely, having been trapped here for too long.

He casually questioned Sang Ying, trying to extract some information he wanted from her.

Sang Ying didn't know the other person's identity, but just by seeing how easily this person could deal with two monsters and control her so easily, she knew that the other person was quite capable.

After all, she has already completed two trials and is only one step away from becoming a god. Even Bai Nianchou might not be able to control her so easily, so this man is definitely not simple.

Sang Ying didn't dare to hide too much, but she still omitted some of the most crucial information and briefly told him about the man in black.

The man listened with great interest and didn't interrupt her. He waited until Sang Ying recounted being chased by the Nine-Tailed Beast and finally encountering him before remarking, "Strange, why would an immortal target a cultivator like this? If he really wanted you dead, he could have easily crushed you with a flick of his wrist. Why go to all this trouble to throw you here?"

Sang Ying's eyes flickered. "Senior, do you mean that the man in black robes is an immortal?!"

The man did not deny it.

Sang Ying quickly came to believe it; if the other party was an immortal, then it would be reasonable for him to be able to enter and leave the Devil Domain so easily.

The man examined Sang Ying more closely, and taking advantage of Sang Ying inability to move, he reached out and felt her pulse.

Sang Ying felt a special power flowing from the meridians in her wrist into her whole body. Just as she had the thought of resisting, a chill ran down her spine, as if her body was warning her not to disobey the man in front of her.

She closed her eyes, ultimately deciding she didn't dare take the gamble.

The man easily explored all her meridians and Dantian, and only after he reached her sea of consciousness, only to be blocked outside, did he finally reveal a smile.

"This is the power of Heavenly Dao!"

A thunderous sound rang out, and for the first time ever, a thunderbolt struck in the Gods and Devils Ravine, which had never seen the light of day!

The lightning struck right next to the man's house, and the loud noise woke up his sleeping neighbor.

The neighbor lifted the lid of his own coffin and started yelling at the dilapidated house not far away, "Haohe, you madman, what are you doing now? Can't you just shut up and let me get a good night's sleep!"

The man named Haohe paid no attention to his neighbor; he was only looking at Sang Ying, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. "Interesting, truly interesting. I've heard of the Child of the Heavenly Dao' before, but I never thought I'd have the chance to see one in person!"

Sang Ying's face had turned pale, and her heart was pounding wildly.

The mirror spirit, equally convinced that it had overheard some incredible secret and fearing it would be silenced, immediately hid the mirror even deeper into Sang Ying's arms.

"I don't understand what you're saying, senior." Sang Ying's expression remained unchanged, and she even forced a smile for Haohe He.

But Haohe laughed heartily, placing his large hand on her shoulder. "You don't need to play dumb with me. Although you've never been to the Gods and Devils Ravine, and may never have heard of it, the mirror in your arms will definitely tell you."

The mirror spirit, which was still moving in Sang Ying's arms, immediately stopped. Even though the mirror Spirit Root had no physical form, it felt as if it was sweating profusely.

"The creatures that roam the Gods and Devils Ravine are either corrupted divine beasts or fallen gods... So guess what I might be?" Haohe practically revealed his entire identity.

Sang Ying closed her eyes; she dared not guess.

She didn't know much about the Upper Realm, and even less about the Ancient God Race. If Old Patriarch Bai were here now, he would realize that the name "Haohe" was exactly the same as the name of the first group of God Race leaders who died fighting against the Devil Race.

"Little girl, do you want to become a god?" This is what Haohe discovered from her Root Bone.

Sang Ying opened her eyes. She sensed a possibility in the other person's words. "Senior, would you be willing to help me?"

Haohe laughed, a laugh that was unfathomable.
