Chapter 486: Golden Heart

Everyone hadn't expected the monsters in the darkness to come so quickly. They hadn't been in this building for long before the legendary Undying Sword King chased after them. And this monster was very special, cleaving through the building, ignoring the influence of the Holy Corpse, and was extremely hard to kill; even chopping off its head wouldn't kill it.

But the appearance of this monster interrupted the fight between Li Yi and that Zhang Kaiwen.

Otherwise, if they continued to fight, one side would definitely die.

"Lin Ya, you saw it. Disaster has been brought by them. This is the legendary monster, the Undying Sword King. It can cleave a building with one sword, causing us all to lose the building's protection and be exposed to the darkness. You should have cooperated with me earlier and killed all these people."

At this moment, Zhang Kaiwen was very angry. He gripped the cross greatsword tightly, looking at Li Yi and then at the Undying Sword King that had broken into the building.

To him, both were enemies, and the danger level was very high.

Lin Ya's face was also somewhat ugly: "Now is not the time to say this. We should put aside the conflict and find a way to kill this Undying Sword King."

"I think we should kill these people first. If they don't die, the monsters in the darkness will come continuously, and the danger will never be resolved. Only if they die will the monsters lose their target and stop appearing." Zhang Kaiwen said with a cold expression.

Lin Ya said: "Monsters are monsters after all, but they are adventurers. We should perhaps join forces and gather all our strength to resist the darkness, instead of killing each other. Only in this way can we survive better. If we actively weaken our own strength, what will we do if monsters appear again in the future?"

"You think too far about future things. We can't even solve the current crisis, so where do we have a future?" Zhang Kaiwen said: "Moreover, there are as many adventurers in this world as you want. Instead of relying on them, it's better for us to cultivate our own adventurers. Your weakness will only lead everyone to a dead end."

"Enough, now is not the time to argue." Lin Ya said angrily: "Kill the Undying Sword King first..."

But before he finished speaking.

That Undying Sword King, wearing blood-red armor and a crown, had already locked onto Li Yi, clearly regarding Li Yi as one of the enemies that must be killed.

Roar!

A roar like a wild beast rang out, echoing in the building. The ground around the Undying Sword King instantly shattered, then its figure disappeared from where it was instantly. Accompanied by a blood-red light flashing, it had already arrived before Li Yi in the shortest possible time. As the treasure sword in its hand danced, cold light covered the space before it, making people unable to avoid it.

"Just a loser." Li Yi's Daoist technique on his fingertips had already operated to the extreme.

If he displayed Daoist techniques inside the building, he could likely use the Holy Corpse's protection to avoid the peeping of evil creatures in the depths of the darkness. Moreover, he didn't want to continue tangling with this Undying Sword King. Otherwise, if the aftermath spread, this building would really be smashed to pieces. By then, losing the place of protection, they would have to run away again.

He didn't want to face this situation again.

Dividing the River to Create Land!

Without the slightest hesitation, he extended his finger and pointed at the sword light that was shrouded over.

Brilliant, gorgeous light erupted, instantly as if lighting up the entire building. This light condensed into a line, destroying everything. Just one contact, and the sword light before him shattered immediately. Moreover, the aftermath didn't diminish, heading straight for the Undying Sword King.

The speed was too fast.

As if crossing space, it arrived in an instant.

At this moment, the Undying Sword King sensed fatal danger. A trace of horror appeared in its beast-like fierce eyes, seemingly not expecting that the enemy who could fight back and forth with it before would reveal fatal fangs this time, with strength so powerful that it was hard to parry.

Unable to avoid it, the Undying Sword King's head was hit.

The power of the top-tier Daoist technique, Dividing the River to Create Land, was hard to resist even for legendary monsters in the dark world. The extreme brilliant light swallowed its entire head and completely annihilated it. The aftermath agitated, slashing open a corner of the building, and sank into the darkness outside, disappearing several tens of kilometers away.

The Undying Sword King, which had just been displaying its ferocity, had now turned into a headless corpse again.

But this time, its head couldn't be picked back up, because the entire skull had been completely annihilated, not even leaving a piece of flesh and blood, leaving only a golden, shining crown, which hadn't been damaged in the aftermath, finally falling to the ground with a crisp rebounding sound.

Then, the Undying Sword King's body immediately went silent. Not only was there no movement, but the flesh and blood on its body were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it seemed to have returned to the first stage, revealing the appearance of a skeleton, and very quickly, this skeleton also appeared cracks.

Dead?

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

The legendary Undying Sword King was actually solved by Li Yi in one move?

No, not dead yet.

The cracks on the skeleton's frame continued to spread, and then the stark white bones began to peel away, revealing golden radiance from within; these golden rays gathered in one place, vaguely forming the shape of a human figure, and the aura it emitted was even more powerful than before.

It was just a pity that this Golden Undying Sword King still had no head, appearing incomplete.

"Third stage?" Seeing this, Li Yi's face turned black.

Was this thing really so hard to kill? He had already crushed it twice, and he hadn't expected there to be a third stage. It was simply endless.

Accompanied by a powerful momentum radiating from the remains of the Golden Undying Sword King, a violent windstorm suddenly blew nearby. Those close by didn't even have time to react before they were blown away, and just the random venting of power caused the surrounding buildings to be shaky, large pieces of cracks appearing, revealing the scarlet flesh and blood inside the wall, then the flesh and blood cracked, and blood flowed uncontrollably. "This momentum..." Everyone was shocked.

From this momentum, it wasn't hard to infer the strength of the Golden Undying Sword King. With just a slight move, the building would collapse; it simply couldn't withstand such power.

Li Yi also felt heart-palpitating. He didn't even care about restraint anymore, directly flipping his palm and bringing out the Xuan Huang Seal, preparing to use the power of the Daoist artifact to suppress this Golden Undying Sword King in one go, not giving it the slightest chance to fight back.

However, unexpectedly.

When this massive momentum climbed to its peak, it took a sharp turn for the worse, immediately withering. A golden-like blood sprayed out from the position of the severed head, like a fountain spraying everywhere. Moreover, this blood wasn't fishy at all, but carried a strange fragrance. Even more bizarrely, after this blood sprayed on the ground, it was immediately absorbed by the building.

The entire building seemed to have revived, emitting a throbbing of life.

The cracked walls of the building were repairing themselves rapidly, all the lights in the building lit up, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter. Even the Holy Corpse in the middle of the building was recovering its blood and Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming full of vitality.

The blood of the Golden Undying Sword King was nourishing this building, and at the same time, it fed the Holy Corpse, as if the Holy Corpse were about to wake up.

This mutation came suddenly, out of everyone's expectation.

"How could this be? How did the Golden Undying Sword King suddenly die?" Lin Ya was somewhat incredulous.

"Without a head, the third stage transformation failed, seemingly unable to withstand the massive power after transformation, and was backlashed to death..." Hai Li frowned, making a reasonable explanation. He bathed in the golden blood at this moment, but discovered that the injuries on his body were recovering at an unimaginable speed.

>

Yu Chuan also bathed in the golden blood. He felt his body was rapidly becoming stronger. Clearly, this golden blood was an extraordinary energy substance that could help an Evolver's body evolve.

It was just a pity that the time for this golden blood to spray was too short, and the vast majority was absorbed by this building. Even if he bathed in some golden blood, he couldn't complete a thorough transformation.

After the blood of the Golden Undying Sword King sprayed out, its body also completely disappeared.

The blood-red armor collapsed at this moment, losing its support, and the sharp treasure sword also fell to the ground, sinking deeply into the ground.

This time, the Golden Undying Sword King was truly dead.

It probably wouldn't have thought that it would die in front of Li Yi in such an absurd way.

However, Li Yi understood a little.

The Dividing the River to Create Land Daoist technique destroyed its head and slashed away most of its soul, which was why its power went out of control, so much so that it had to head toward self-destruction after transforming into the third stage.

This was the same as a Soul Realm Evolver. If the soul power was strong enough but couldn't control the power of the body, it would cause the power within the body to run wild, thereby damaging the body.

Although Li Yi didn't kill it directly, he also indirectly killed it by mistake.

"This is..."

Suddenly, Li Yi saw that from within the red armor of the dead Undying Sword King, there was actually a sound of a heartbeat.

He strode forward, pushed aside the armor, and actually saw a beating heart.

The heart was golden all over, shining with brilliance, looking very magical.

"Golden Heart." Lin Ya, Hai Li, and Mei Ling couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this.

"Golden Heart, what is that?" Li Yi frowned.

"That is a treasure left behind by powerful monsters only after they die. It is said that people who eat the Golden Heart will inherit all the power of the dead monster. More than a hundred years ago, a team of adventurers hunted a dark dragon. It is said that they found a Golden Heart from the dragon skin of that dark dragon. A person named Griffin ate it and obtained the power of the dark dragon, becoming a legendary adventurer. His story is still circulating in the building to this day. And some people say that Griffin hasn't died; he inherited the power of the dark dragon and also inherited the lifespan of the dark dragon, and is still living in some building in this world to this day."

Hai Li told a long-standing and true story at this moment.

This story circulated originally to encourage adventurers to resist the monsters in the darkness.

But he hadn't expected that today, this story would be staged again.

They had seen the legendary Golden Heart once again.

And this was the Golden Heart of the Undying Sword King. If one ate it, wouldn't one be able to immediately obtain the power of the Undying Sword King?

Looking at the beating Golden Heart in Li Yi's hand, the eyes of all the adventurers in the building were burning.
