Divine God Against The Heavens

Lin Hao once again arrived before the table, thinking that there must be something special about this Golden Apple otherwise it would not have been here and those skeletons would not be protecting it with so much alertness.

Seeing no more dangers, he extended his hand and lifted the Golden Apple. The moment he did this, the ground started to shake heavily, forcing Lin Hao to held the table tightly.

Rumble! Rumble!

The stone wall next to the table also began to shake. Then it shifted diagonally, revealing a five meters high passage.

"…"

Lin Hao glanced at the newly opened passage speechlessly. He did not understand how things turn out like this but he guessed that this might be related to him lifting the Golden Apple?

The passage in front of him was filled with darkness. Not even a speck of light could be seen from within.

He entered the passage and continue to walk deeper in the cave. Not long after, he was able to see a flash of light in front of him which became bigger and bigger as he walked deeper.

This time, he once again arrived at an open area but what was different from the previous area was that here, there was no skeleton but only a wolf-type beast. It was actually a Grade Six Beast.

Just like the skeletons, this beast was also protecting something. It was something that could help Lin Hao breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm. It was a grade six medicinal herb known as the Black Heart Flower.

This flower's petals which were black in colour, joined with each other, forming the shape of the heart.

When Lin Hao saw the Black Heart Flower, he immediately became excited. To be safe, he put down unconscious Ye Xiao on the ground at the end of the dark passage so that the beast could not discover Ye Xiao, and then, he took a few steps forward, appearing in the vision of the wolf-type beast.

"Roar!"

That wolf-type beast let out a loud roar but unlike other beasts, Lin Hao had met, this wolf-type beast did not take the initiative to attack him instead, it started to observe him which surprised Lin Hao to some extent.

Lin Hao also was in no hurry. He remained standing on his spot and did not move an inch. The wolf-type beast was observing him while he was observing his surroundings.

Unlike the previous area where he fought with seven skeletons, there was a bronze door at the wall of the cave. Lin Hao was slightly disappointed as it was not the golden door but he once again regained his composure.

"Roar!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was ignoring it and was looking at the bronze door curiously, that wolf-type beast let out a roar to attract the attention of Lin Hao.

Well, it was successful as Lin Hao's attention was really attracted by the wolf-type beast. He just needs to kill this beast and obtain the Black Heart Flower then he could enter the Bronze Door to move toward his destination.

Without wasting his time, Lin Hao brandished the black sword causing a chilling aura to erupt from it. His sword intent also burst out from his body as he slashed at the wolf-type beast.

"Demon Slaying Sword, Second Slash, Eliminating The Demon!"

A terrifying sword force erupted from Lin Hao's sword that locked on the wolf-type beast which scared the beast to some extent, causing it to retreat a few steps.

"Roar!"

After realizing that it took a few steps back, the wolf-type beast was immediately enraged as it roared at Lin Hao, and to welcome the incoming attack of Lin Hao, it opened its mouth and a black beam of light shot toward Lin Hao.

"BOOM!"

When the black beam of the wolf-type beast and Lin Hao's second slash of the Demon Slaying Sword collided with each other, an explosive sound rang out.

What shocked Lin Hao that his attack was actually unable to slash through the black beam of light instead, he recoiled back and blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.

Demon Slaying Sword was a Low-Grade Earth Rank sword-type martial arts skill that he purchased from the Treasure Pavilion at the Azure Dragon Country when before the start of the competition that was organized by the five great sects of the country.

It has a total of two slashes. The first one was Slaying The Demons In One Slash that was directed at a group and a wide range attack while the Second Slash of the Demon Slaying Sword which was called Eliminating The Demon focuses on dealing with a single person or demon.

Since the second slash only focused on a single target, its destructive power was almost double compared to the first slash.

But even this attack was unable to slash through the dark beam of light shot by the wolf-type beast which really shocked him. What was more shocking was that his own attack was actually recoiled back, causing him to be injured.

Lin Hao took a long breath and did not dare to underestimate this wolf-type beast anymore.

Although he was unsuccessful with his first attack, he was sure that if he were to execute the First Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword, that beast will definitely be heavily injured and if he were to use the Broken Sword to execute the same attack, that beast will die in a single attack just like the beast that was being controlled by the old man previously.

Although he could kill the wolf-type beast with the Broken Sword, he still chose to use the black sword over the Broken Sword as he did not want to get used to using the Broken Sword.

If he really were to get used to using the Broken Sword every time, it will affect his growth. So, he once again swung the Black Sword and took his stance.

"Transversing Shadow Sword, First Slash!"

Lin Hao once again slashed at the wolf-type beast but this time, he used his second most powerful move to attack the wolf-type beast.

The wolf-type beast also sensed the incoming danger which alerted it greatly. It chose to dodge the coming attack and to dodge it, he retreated rapidly to distance itself from Lin Hao's attack as much as possible.

Seeing its intelligence and decision-making ability, Lin Hao was again surprised. This wolf-type beast was unlike any other beast he has met till now. Its intelligence was above a human adult.

"L-Lin Hao, t-try not to kill this beast. If you can, then try to tame this beast and make it your pet."

While Lin Hao was still surprised, he heard a very familiar voice from behind. He turned back hurriedly and saw Ye Xiao standing with the support of the wall and looking at him.

He was surprised to see that Ye Xiao was actually able to wake up so soon. Even that old man who was also an Immortal said that he was unable to help Ye Xiao in any way because of the power of the world but now, Ye Xiao was able to wake up on his own.

But soon, he noticed that something was amiss. Although Ye Xiao has woken up, his expression was still filled with pain and the chaos within his body became even more intense as if two Immortals were fighting a fierce fight inside Ye Xiao's body.

"Ye Xiao, are you alright?" Lin Hao asked in concern and it was the first time when he showed concern for someone other than his cousin sister, Lin Ling.

"For now, I am still ok but I feel that I will once again lose my consciousness very soon." Ye Xiao nodded his head and said. Then he once again looked at the wolf-type beast with a surprised gaze and told Lin Hao, "Try to tame this beast and if possible, sign an equal contract with it."

It was the second time when Lin Hao heard Ye Xiao telling him to tame this wolf-type beast. He was unable to understand why, so he asked in confusion, "Why are you telling me to tame this beast? Is there something special about it?"

"Haven't you noticed something strange about this beast?" Instead of answering Lin Hao, Ye Xiao asked another question.

Lin Hao nodded his head and said deeply, "This beast is much more intelligent than any other beasts I have ever met. Its decision-making ability is also very terrifying and it could be said that although this beast is fierce it is also a very calm beast and exactly this thing about it makes it more dangerous."

"See, although I have already exchanged two blows with this beast, it still did not choose to attack me, instead, it is looking at us curiously while we are talking. But all of these should not be the reason why you are telling me to tame this beast, right?"
