Within the gloom of the Abyss of Darkness, Austin fumbled every step forward.
After a moment of glancing around the darkness, he saw that a bright light began to shine and the mist slowly rose. A peaceful
scene as far as the eye could see welcomed him.
Even though the map provided by the eight suprleaders was incomplete, Austin still engraved it deeply into his Soul Sea.
Every once in a while he'd consult the map and successfully managed to avoid sof the recorded dangerous areas.
Although Austin was proficient in the Earth Exploring Technique, sareas were still extremely dangerous even for him. Sof
the places within the Abyss of Darkness made him tremble in fear at the very sight of them and he didn't dare to approach any
closer.
One of the areas was surrounded by nine green mountains and incredibly dense fog. All the spiritual birds and beasts there were
full of vitality.
After only a moment of studying the place, Austin realized that it was a legendary forbidden area.
Based on what he remembered of the place, it was one of the most horrible and dangerous places in the world.
If it weren't for the notes on the eight suprleaders’ incomplete map, Austin might have already entered it.
However, sdangerous areas weren't marked on the map.
Just a day later, Austin found himself deep inside a terrible place before he realized it.
Dozens of black mountains stood side by side and cast an ominous shadow.
A huge lake served as the center of the black mountains and had water as dark as the mountains' shadow.
It was dark and lifeless. A foreboding feeling climbed up people's spines just by looking into the water.
Plop!
Small ripples surged from the dark water of the lake from tto tas unknown creatures swam within the depths.
A huge black lake was surrounded by dozens of black mountains.
It wouldn't take a genius to realize that it must be a terrible place.
Despite realizing that he was in a bad place, he had no idea how he actually entered the place.
Just a moment ago, he was in a fairyland with beautiful mountains, gurgling rivers, and light mist floating in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the scene completely changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter how many times he looked over the map in his Soul Sea, he couldn't find any hint of it.
Splash!
Right when Austin was lost in fear and shock, the dark water of the huge black lake before his eyes began to violently surge.
As he stayed rooted in his spot to watch in horror, something began to slowly rise from the lake.
A strong malicious aura enveloped everything around him.
Blood red demonic flowers rained down from the void.
Every hair on Austin's body stood on end.
Everything about this was a glaring warning.
Suddenly, a deep deafening roar echoed around Austin.
Before Austin's dumbfounded eyes, a black dragon rose from the depths of the lake.
To be exact, it wasn't a living dragon but the remains of it. A thick cloud of corpse miasma emitted from its cold and stiff body. Any
sign of life had long left the corpse.
Boom!
A horrifying force flared up from the dragon's cold body.
Nothing could possibly withstand that terrifying surge of power.
Intense admiration bubbled up from deep within Austin's heart and he wanted to drop onto his knees and kowtow.
If there weren't more than two hundred earth dragons watching over him like hawks, he might have knelt down.
This was a kind of blood suppression.
It was a kind of innate suppression of creatures with noble blood could use against those low-born ones.
Never before had Austin felt anything like it.
"Well... Could it be a divine dragon?"
Austin gaped in shock as he scanned whatever part of the dragon his eyes could reach.
Dragon was a legendary suprbeast.
It was even harder to see a divine dragon.
Many creatures in the world were classified as dragons and had dragon blood within their veins, but they weren't real dragons.
An example would be flood dragons that actually evolved from snakes.
Another was the more than two hundred earth dragons next to Austin that were all condensed from the essence of earth energy.
While they might look like one, they were far from being actual dragons.
Most dragons that people could possibly see in their lifetwere fake.
A real divine dragon was incredibly rare in the world.
It wouldn't possess such terrible force if it wasn't a divine dragon.
That being said, of course it was a dead divine dragon.
"There's a sword mark!"
Shock shot through Austin as his gaze narrowed down on the deep sword mark at the throat of the dragon's corpse.
Pale bone flashed beneath the torn rotten flesh.
A single fatal strike felled this divine dragon.
Legend had it that a divine dragon was so powerful that it could kill ordinary divine gods in an instant.
However, this divine dragon before him was killed by someone's sword.
That was a testament to how terrifying the person who killed this dragon was.
While Austin was lost in thought, the dead body of the divine dragon gazed up into the sky with empty eyes and its maw dropped
open to create a huge gravitation field.
Boom!
Everything between heaven and earth, as well as the nearby galaxies, various worlds, and even different universes with millions of
stars, turned into an overflowing river of blinding stars.
Tens of thousands of stars were sucked into the dragon's mouth and becits nourishment.
Every inch of Austin shuddered in fear at the scene.
Wasn't this a dead divine dragon? Why would it take the initiative to absorb the energy from stars?
Within the dark water of the lake, the divine dragon seemed engrossed in its cultivation.
It showed no sign of having notice Austin's existence at all.
Perhaps, in its eyes, Austin was too weak.
A lion wouldn't bother to glance at an ant.
"Eh? What... What are those?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce he got over his shock, Austin's eyes were caught by the dazzling fist-sized crystals floating on the surface of the lake. Each
one of the crystals was surrounded by rich laws.
Dozens of them glinted above the lake's dark waters.
'Are those divine cores?"
Austin took a deep breath to calm his shocked heart.
Those crystals floating above the lake were similar to the divine cores the little boy mentioned to him.
If what the little boy said was true, then these crystals should be divine cores.
"There're like twenty, no, thirty divine cores!"
Austin slowly counted in complete disbelief.
Divine cores were the condensation of all the energy and laws in a divine god's life and represented the most original essence of
the divine god.
If anyone, especially a divine god, was on the edge of death, they could start a new life as long as they absorbed a divine core.
Every divine core represented a chance for revival.
"If | get those divine cores, I'll make a huge fortune!"
Every breath Austin took becheavier and heavier as his eyes remained entranced by the dazzling light of the divine cores.
Even divine gods could only dream of getting that kind of treasure!
However, his already excited heart thumped even faster against his ribs when his gaze landed on the powerful dragon's corpse
again.
From the dragon's force alone, he already wanted to crawl onto his knees and beg for mercy. There was no doubt that once they
began to fight, he'd be instantly killed.
