As he headed into the inner valley, the ball of light increased in intensity. He had not seen any other cultivators since the ninth valley, and the animal bones littering the ground continued to increase in number.
Wang Lin paused a little in the ninth valley, carefully observing his surroundings with his Divine Consciousness. He kept getting the feeling that the ninth valley was different from the other valleys, but he couldn’t place his finger on exactly what made it different. However, he felt as if there were numerous eyes watching him the moment he entered, all assembled within this valley.
Wang Lin sneered in his heart and swept out his Divine Consciousness. The gathered watchers immediately dissipated, and the valley was restored to its previously calm state.
Wang Lin muttered to himself, taking his time to evaluate the collection of beast bones he had found after entering the tenth valley. After walking into the thirteenth valley, the light ball made a “pop” sound and split in two.
Wang Lin had an excited look on his face, as he knew that this signified that the quality of the Earth Yin was above the regular quality. The bursts of cold air coming from the fourteenth valley slightly stiffened Wang Lin’s body.
Wang Lin took a look around before releasing a sigh. Although this place was really good for closed-door training, it could be considered as one of the three most dangerous areas in the area, despite how calm the area appeared to be. Since it definitely had its own dangers, Wang Lin didn’t dare to seclude himself here for long periods of time. Even if he found the cave in better condition, he would not risk himself and train in an area that he did not understand, unless as a last resort.
He hesitated a little. Along the way, he had already gathered some beast bones. Although their effects weren’t too great, they should still be able to add some more power to the nine-bones formation.
However, he was somewhat unwilling to just walk away. Looking at the fourteenth valley from here, he could see the fourteenth valley’s general appearance. This fourteenth valley was obviously different from the previous thirteen valleys. Its size alone was practically the size of all the previous ones combined.
Aside from this, the fourteenth valley also gave off a strange aura. There were practically no beast bones or animal bones to be seen. The floor was covered with a layer of blue, gleaming gas. It looked quite mysterious.
Wang Lin looked off in the distance. This fourteenth valley wasn’t really the final destination in the Corpse Valley, at most it was only halfway in. Wang Lin raised his attentiveness a bit, then shook his head, planning on leaving for now.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a roar in the distance. Shortly thereafter, an enormous Aquatic Dragon over 1000 feet long suddenly leapt out of the mist.
Wang Lin’s complexion changed and he immediately retreated underground. His foot steps were light, but they were also firm as his Divine Consciousness washed over the area, watching out for the enormous dragon.
With a mere movement from the Aquatic Dragon’s large body, bursts of winds suddenly appeared and within the blink of an eye, it had already crossed the thirteen valleys and arrived at the fourteenth valley.
The large Aquatic Dragon flew past Wang Lin with large drops of blood following it, dripping down from the sky. Wang Lin raised his head and immediately discovered a deep wound on the abdomen of the enormous dragon. The wound itself was a least half the length of the large beast.
Wang Lin looked towards the direction from where the Aquatic Dragon came. All he saw was the trail of blood on the ground that followed it, painting the entire path it flew red.
The Aquatic Dragon stopped above the fourteenth valley, not minding the deep wound on its body. It looked up at the sky with cold eyes, and let loose a loud roar. The second the roar was let loose, ripples formed in the air as violent shock waves of anger. They were like the waves in the sea, tossing and turning through the air.
The bones around the valley all emitted a ‘pa pa’ sound as they turned into ashes one after another by the waves of Qi that continued to radiate from the valley.
Even underground, Wang Lin could feel the tremors from the earth as the ground was shaved by a meter. In his heart, he felt extreme shock at the Aquatic Dragon’s strength. It was probably even stronger than a Yuan Ying level cultivator.
Finally, after the roar that lasted for quite some time, the Aquatic Dragon’s eyes dimmed and within the span of a breath it fell from the sky, crashing head first and smashing through the blue gas and drilling into the ground, as if it were sinking into water.
