Chapter 1009: Narrow Road Encounter: The Three Heavenly Kings Assemble

The three creatures—Mountain Cat, Evil Crow, and Lark—saw that there weren't many wounds on the Heavenly Dog's body, only a single large hole in the center of its chest.

This meant it had barely fought at all.

And after encountering the human who killed it—

—that human, or his phantom beast, had pierced straight through the Heavenly Dog's chest in a single strike.

This was clearly a one-hit kill. "How is this possible!"

At once, disbelief flashed across the eyes of all three Heavenly Kings.

But the scene before them forced them to accept it as fact. "A one-hit kill!"

"Unless that human has reached the level of the Dark God himself!" "Otherwise it's impossible!" Even seeing the truth before their eyes,

the Evil Crow still found it hard to accept. "Look!"

"There are still traces of a sacrifice on the Heavenly Dog's body!" Suddenly—

the Lark cried out.

An unknown mark had appeared on the Heavenly Dog's forehead at some point.

That mark was precisely the one that appeared—

after a soul sacrifice, when the power of the Dark God who summoned them possessed its body. "What!" "You mean to say—" "Hiss!" At once, all three Heavenly Kings sucked in a cold breath.

This meant—

the Heavenly Dog had received their Dark God's power through a soul sacrifice, and still been killed effortlessly by the opponent.

What a terrifying level of power.

In their eyes, their Dark God was an invincible existence.

Even borrowing just a fraction of that power—

was already incomparably terrifying.

But at this moment—

the Heavenly Dog, empowered by their Dark God's strength—

had died here so carelessly.

This showed just how terrifying and powerful the human who killed the Heavenly Dog must be. "Could he be a being on par with the Dark God?" "How could that be?"

"There can't possibly be a human on the same level as the Dark God in this world!" Mountain Cat said in disbelief.

In its eyes—

the Dark God was the strongest existence.

Humans weren't even one-tenth of the Dark God…

This guess was, for the moment, hard for it to accept. "What do we do now?!"

"Do we keep pursuing?" the Lark asked cautiously. If the opponent was as terrifying as the Dark God,

then none of them might be a match. "Of course we pursue!"

"No one can be compared to the Dark God!"

"That human must have used some trick to kill the Heavenly Dog!" "I just went to check that castle over there!"

"I found that the Heavenly Dog's subordinates, the Blood Heavenly Dogs, were all dead inside!" "There must be something in that castle that formed a trap!"

"That's why the Heavenly Dog died so carelessly!" the Evil Crow said as it walked over from the Iridescent Mushroom Castle.

Just a moment ago—

the Evil Crow had already inspected the scene inside the Iridescent Mushroom Castle.

While horrified—

it also analyzed that the Heavenly Dog had likely been affected by that castle.

which was why it was instantly killed without even unleashing its full power.

The Heavenly Dog might have been killed by a surprise attack. "Let's go!"

"No matter what, we must carry out the Dark God's command!" "We stay cautious!"

"Just don't fall into that human's trap and we'll be fine!" The Lark nodded as well.

"Good, we have to take that human down!" Mountain Cat's face twisted viciously.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The next instant—

the Lark and the Evil Crow spread their wings and took flight.

Mountain Cat's fur stood on end.

Moving at astonishing speed, they headed toward Chen Xuan's location.

"Alphabet Fritillary Flower!" At this very moment—

Chen Xuan was wearing a satisfied smile.

After following the system's guidance—

Chen Xuan had obtained quite a few more spirit flowers and spirit fruits.

There were many precious Grade-7 spirit flowers and spirit fruits here.

There were even Grade-8 ones.

This trip to the Burial Ground—

could truly be called a bountiful harvest.

"I've now gathered thirteen kinds of Grade-7 spirit flowers and spirit fruits!" "Plus one Grade-8 spirit fruit!"

"Although it's only a low-grade Grade-8 spirit fruit, it's enough to raise my level and my phantom beast's level even higher!" After checking the spirit herbs and spirit fruits inside the Life Space Spider,

Chen Xuan said with satisfaction.
