"Roar---"
"Roar---"
"Roar---"
"Roar---"
...
…...
...
Right at this moment, the earth started to tremble and roars sounded repeatedly.
Those terrifying roars sounded from all around without stop.
Looking carefully, the crimson-haired giant was appearing from all around. The numbers were simply too many to count.
From a rough estimation, there were over ten of thousands of them!
Bai Lianxin started to panic.
A single one would be extremely difficult for her to handle already.
Yet, at this moment, there were this many crimson-haired giants. Faced with that amount, she simply had no odds of victory at all.
She regretted coming here and planned to leave.
"Step down!"
Suddenly, an incomparably resounding voice exploded in the sky.
That voice was so ear-piercing it not only shook the ground, it seemed to pierce through even the horizon itself.
"Roar---"
Once that resounding voice was heard, the crimson-haired giants all started roaring at once.
No, those were no roars. They were howls in grief.
It was like how dogs would howl when they were caught by their master in acting bad.
After howling in grief, those crimson-haired giants all turned around and withdrew into the distance.
This scene completely terrified Bai Lianxin.
Turned out, the crimson-haired giants that she were unable to handle were simply not the most powerful existence present here.
"Are those merely lackeys?"
"I've truly underestimated this place."
Seeing the crimson-haired giants that were retreating from this place, Bai Lianxin frowned and sighed.
Even though she had realized that this place wasn't going to be simple before entering, the current situation was much more terrible than she anticipated.
"Huuu---"
Right at this moment, the weather changed.
The strange black clouds in the sky began to surge violently. As they surged, the sky transformed. In the end, a giant face that covered the sky appeared.
That giant face looked very strange. It was ever-changing and no distinct form. A face like that should be very terrifying. Yet, Bai Lianxin was not feeling that way. She instead felt the giant face to be very sacred. It was as if she was witnessing a god.
The oppression she felt from the face far surpassed that of those crimson-haired monsters.
At this moment, the giant eyes of that face were fixed on her.
"It's such an existence?!"
Seeing the ever-changing and omnipresent face in the sky, Bai Lianxin eyes were flickering nonstop.
"Senior, are you the owner of this place?" asked Bai Lianxin as she force herself to calm down.
Even though she already knew that giant face possessed power far surpassing her own, Bai Lianxin try to not show any sign of panic.
"Why did you come here?"
The incomparably deep and resounding voice that caused the heaven and earth to tremble sounded again.
The sight resembled a god speaking to mortals.
"I wish to obtain senior's inheritance," answered Bai Lianxin.
"So that's what it is."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
Suddenly, the giant terrifying face laughed.
That laughter was so very strange. It was even more eerie and terrifying than the roars from the crimson-haired giants.
"Senior, why are you laughing?" asked Bai Lianxin.
"To throw away your lives here for something like that, it is truly silly."
"But, I will satisfy you."
Once that voice sounded from the sky, Bai Lianxin expression changed enormously.
Could it be that giant face was going to kill her?
That does not seem like words spoken at random.
At the same time those words were said, a strifling oppression appeared out of the blue.
The current situation was extremely dangerous.
"Milord, I know that, For me to show up uninvited, It is indeed quite offending."
"But, I believe that someone like you was most definitely a reasonable individual too. You couldn't possibly be deciding to end my life just because i came unsolicited, no?"
"Besides, I came here in hopes of becoming your successor. If possible, I truly hope Milord will be willing to give me a chance."
"I truly do not hold any malice in coming here. I only wish to obtain your inheritance and become powerful," Bai Lianxin spoke with a stern voice.
She was putting up a brave front. Truth was, she was feeling extremely panicky.
The reason for that was because she knew that giant face was truly capable of easily killing her.
She was currently inside the tiger's den.
Thus, she didn't dare to act arrogant. Instead, she was trying to reason.
Everything points toward the giant face being a demonic being from the Ancient Era.
An existence like that would generally be daring to do anything.
As such, one must be flexible and not forceful when confronted with an existence like that.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
But, Her words were met with a sneering laughter.
"Who cares if you come here for my inheritance or something else."
"If this Exalted allowed for you to come, even even if you overturned the seas and rivers, this Exalted will not blame you."
"But, if one is to enter this Exalted's territory without this Exalted's permission, then only death awaits them."
After that giant face finished saying those words, wind and clouds began to surge. Lightning flashes and thunder rolls. Boundless killing intent filled the surroundings and black clouds covered the entire sky.
Faced with that sort of oppression, regret appeared in Bai Lianxin eyes.
She knew that trying to flee would not work against an existence like that. If her opponent was truly determined to kill, only death will await her. But...
"Senior, please wait,"
Right at this moment of imminent peril, Bai Lianxin suddenly spoke with an unflustered tone.
"Senior, you've been staying in this place for an unknown amount of time and doesn't understand the situation of the current world."
"If senior insists on killing me for a matter as trivial as this, I'm afraid that senior might end up regretting it."
As Bai Lianxin spoke, Light emerged from the center of her forehead.
On her forehead was a red mark. That mark seemed to be constructed of blood. There was some sort of substance circulating through it too. It seemed like something living was inside it.
From a glance, one would think it was a treasure. But, upon closer inspection, one will realize that it was truly strange.
The red mark was connected with Bai Lianxin heart and pulsing following the rhythm of her heartbeat. It seemed like it was fused with Bai Lianxin.
The surroundings of that strange mark was covered in complicated yet mysterious vein lines. It was those vein lines that emitted the light.
But, those vein lines were clearly all black in color!
This was a protective formation.
It was something that would only trigger when her life was in danger.
Bai Lianxin was always a strong-willed person. She always preferred to journey through the vast cultivation world using her own power.
Because of that, Bai Lianxin agreed to allow her clan to put a protective formation on her.
That protective formation will trigger when Bai Lianxin life is in danger.
Its destructive power was extremely strong.
But, as that protective formation was connected with Bai Lianxin soul, She will also suffer damages should the protective formation be triggered.
"Protective formation?"
"Are you threatening this Exalted?"
The terrifying existence's voice grew increasingly displeased. Evidently, an existence of that caliber would be able to tell how powerful Bai Lianxin protective formation was.
"This is not a threat. It's just that this formation is on me."
"If you want to kill me, you'll have to breach it first," said Bai Lianxin.
"Since that's the case, I will breach your formation first before killing you."
Suddenly, surging black clouds appeared out of thin air. Overflowing killing intent followed after.
Even though that terrifying existence had seen realized how dangerous Bai Lianxin's protective formation was, it was not afraid in the slightest and still insisted on killing her.
At this moment, Bai Lianxin could only hoped that the protective formation would be able to obliterate the Ancient Era's demonic being in the sky.
Although the activation of the protective formation will seriously injure her, there was no other alternative for her right now.
