Chapter 187 Ch 187: Devouring Flame Of Blue Monarch
He sent out a part of his spiritual sense to check the rabbit but found nothing special about the rabbit. Not to mention that there was some sort of energy within its body, after it transformed, it became a normal rabbit.
"Strange. Why did this happen? It changed so much just now." Alex frowned but he couldn't think of anything that could cause the situation in front of his eyes.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a beam of light shot toward Alex. Just as it was about to hit Alex, Alex stepped to his left side and tilted his body by 45°, easily dodging the attack.
And it was at this moment he noticed that the strange blue light has appeared again.
However, the target of the blue light was not Alex, but the rabbit's corpse. After being enveloped by the blue light, the rabbit's body, like the two cultivators before, was quickly melted. There was not even a drop of blood on the ground. It had been completely swallowed by the blue light.
While the blue light was devouring the rabbit, Alex hurriedly sent his spiritual sense forward. He took this opportunity to figure out what was going on with the blue light.
But... Before Alex's spiritual sense could reach the blue light, after the rabbit corpse on the ground was engulfed, the blue light had actually directly moved towards Alex. Furthermore, its speed was extremely fast.
The spirit energy started swirling around the blue light, and the blue light swept across the place where Alex had previously been standing, but fortunately for Alex, he managed to dodge in time and did not give the blue light the chance to hit him.
Unexpectedly, the blue light didn't hit Alex and actually stopped. It locked onto Alex and swept over quickly. It was like a wild beast that had discovered its prey and begun to chase.
The tip of his foot pressed on the ground forcefully as Alex immediately flew backward. At the same time, he raised his Heavy Earth Sword and shot out a few sword qis towards the blue light.
The sword Qi landed on the blue light in the next second. However, it did not cause any damage. There was no movement at all. It was as though the sword Qi had hit an invisible barrier that only produced slight ripples before disappearing completely.
Seeing that the Sword Qi is ineffective, Alex decisively changed his move. He pointed his left hand at the blue light as an intense sword intent burst out of his body. Then the next moment, a giant arc of light appeared that aimed straight at the blue light.
In this attack, Alex used the Sword Intent which increased the lethality of his attack. However, instead of using the Heavy Earth Sword to execute the attack, Alex used his left hand. But even so, the arc of light filled with sword intent ruthlessly struck towards the blue light.
However, the moment the arc of light came into contact with the blue light, it started crumbling, and very soon, it disappeared. Not to mention movement, there wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of energy when everything happened.
"How could that be? Is this blue light that powerful?" Alex's expression became serious. Just as he was about to attack again, another figure suddenly leaped out from behind him.
"Roar!" With a roar of a beast, Alex felt a shadow shrouding him from above. He looked up and saw a huge, drooling wolf with its mouth wide open.
"Get the hell out of my way!" Alex didn't bother with this beast that suddenly appeared. Instead, he decisively lifted his body and kicked the huge wolf in the abdomen, sending it flying with a kick. The wolf was sent flying a few dozen feet away. After it landed, it glided back a good distance and continuously smashed apart several trees before it finally came to a stop.
When Alex kicked the giant wolf away, the blue light suddenly accelerated at an explosive pace. It fiercely rushed forward and actually rushed within a foot of Alex. If Alex had not activated the Wandering Steps in time, he would have been enveloped by the blue light.
Once the Wandering Steps were activated, Alex no longer had the thought of pestering the blue light any further. After a few flashes, Alex easily flung the blue light several tens of meters away.
But what Alex did not notice was that right after he shook off the blue light, the giant wolf that was kicked away by him had already recovered and climbed back up. However, the giant wolf didn't chase in the direction Alex left. Instead, it stared at the blue light strangely, and its eyes became even more bloodshot.
The next moment, the giant wolf actually rushed straight at the blue light. The blue light seemed to have also noticed the approaching giant wolf and similarly gave up on chasing after Alex.
In the blink of an eye, the blue light enveloped the huge wolf. Soon after, the giant wolf's body melted, leaving behind a beast bone that turned into dust the moment it landed on the ground.
It was really a very strange scene.
.....
[Name: Devouring Flame Of Blue Monarch.
Rank: Emperor Rank.
Details: To uncover the secrets of the maze and to find the Stone Of Tomorrow, an Extreme Void Stage Level 9 martial warrior, who was called Blue Monarch, entered the maze. He was the first person who dared to enter the maze to uncover the truth. However, he was trapped inside the maze and no matter how much he tried, he failed to get out.
Since he could not get out, he started looking for the Stone Of Tomorrow with all his heart. Just like that, he spent ten years. And in the end, later, he did discover the place where the Stone Of Time was hidden. However, before he could enter that place, he accidentally activated the Curse Formation and was petrified on the spot.
Before the Blue Monarch was petrified into a stone statue, he released the Devouring Flame that he had refined by sacrificing half of his soul in the past. Blue Monarch's intention behind releasing this Devouring Flame was to let it devour all the creatures that it could find inside the maze and become stronger. If it could break past the Emperor Rank, it would be able to break the curse and Blue Monarch will regain his freedom.
Note: If anyone could subdue the Devouring Flame, it could lead that person to the location of Stone Of Tomorrow!]
When Alex faced the Blue Light, he used the system in order to know what exactly that thing is. He was greatly surprised after knowing about the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch.
But the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch is an Emperor Rank treasure. With Alex's current strength, it is almost impossible to subdue the Devouring Flame. He tried to replicate the Devouring Flame, however, because the Devouring Flame was refined by the Blue Monarch with the price of half of his soul, the difficulty of replication increased by a lot. This caused Alex's replication to fail.
Alex was then left with only two choices. The first one is to continue fighting the Devouring Flame and given the situation, activate the Ancient Sovereign Bloodline before subduing it.
And the second option was to escape.
Alex could have chosen the first option, however, it was at that time that Mother Light Devouring Beast told Alex that she could sense a Void King Stage demonic beast coming.
After thinking for a while, Alex decided to choose the second option. In this way, he could not only gain himself some time, but in the meantime, he could also refine the Earth Spirit Pills and increase his cultivation.
Before coming to the Waterfall of Tomorrow, Alex had spent a few hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in order to buy many sets of other ingredients required to refine the Earth Spirit Pills.
.....
After running for more than three hundred meters, Alex confirmed that the blue light behind him was no longer chasing after him, and only then did he stop.
Only, the surroundings were still the environment of the forest, which made Alex feel that something was very wrong.
When looking at the huge building from the outside, Alex had a rough idea of how big it was. But he didn't expect the space inside the building to be so big.
He raised his head and looked around. No matter which direction he looked, all he could see was the forest.
