Chapter 2168: Mysterious Voice

Zu An remained unfazed. He used the Crown of the Ocean Deity to wrap water around his body. After he took a few steps, however, the water seemed to start boiling. It continued until all of the water evaporated.

A golden imperial seal suddenly appeared above him, sending down strands of energy to protect his body.

The alien monsters and Hell creatures that had been fighting bitterly were all stunned when they saw this scene.

“The Lord of Myriad Transformations has something like that?” The Bloodthirst Crocodile was confused.

“That’s the Human Emperor Seal. It used to belong to the human emperor Zhao Han, and then I heard that it ended up in the regent Zu An’s hands,” the Shadowhorror Devil said in shock.

The Bloodthirst Crocodile was stunned. “The regent was also someone the Lord of Myriad Transformations impersonated?”

The Shadowhorror Devil was speechless. He stared at his comrade and said, “Sometimes, I really wonder if you are the crocodile ancestor.”

“What would I be, if not the crocodile ancestor?”

“The pig ancestor, of course.”

“You bastard, you dare to curse me!”

“You idiot, it’s clearly the human regent who was impersonating the Lord of Myriad Transformations! He really took us for a spin this time, and yet you actually thought that the Lord of Myriad Transformations was impersonating him. What else are you if not a pig?”

“Dammit!”

Just how did this guy impersonate the Lord of Myriad Transformations? To reach this degree of resemblance, is he even human?!

Zu An activated all of his energy. The Human Emperor Seal floated above him, the Crown of the Ocean Deity rested on his head, the Tai’e Sword appeared in his hand, and he also took out the Sun Slaying Bow. Under the support of these deity-grade weapons, he was finally able to resist the terrifying pressure and walk up to the platform.

The platform was shrouded in strands of brilliant divine splendor. There was a powerful medicinal fragrance suffusing the air.

Zu An reached toward the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine first. However, just as his arm drew near to the brilliant stalk, it began to crack apart at a visible rate. Then, his flesh swiftly turned into scattered ashes. He was horrified. After all, his body had already been refined several times. And yet, together with the support of so many divine artifacts, he actually couldn't even endure for a single second? It was as if there was some special and mysterious law that passed straight through the power of the deity-grade artifacts and directly affected his body.

Zu An clenched his teeth. He was determined to remove the things inside even if he had to be seriously injured as a result.

Mi Li urgently stopped him. “Stop! That’s a restriction set by a certain unparalleled being. You won’t be able to take it out even if your entire arm turns to ashes. You’ll only end up bringing that destructive power upon yourself.”

“What should I do then?” Zu An swiftly pulled his arm back. Even if Mi Li didn’t say anything, he could also sense a terrifying power from the altar that was about to erupt. Even though he really wanted what was inside, he hadn’t completely lost his wits yet.

“Judging from the current situation, it seems we're still missing a certain step. You need to receive a certain item of authority left behind by the creator of this restriction to obtain the things inside,” Mi Li quickly said.

“A certain authority?” Zu An was startled. He then recalled Ka Qier who had just left.

“That’s right. Many places of inheritance require passing tests to obtain the approval of a certain being. That grants the so-called authority or access privilege,” Mi Li said. “Don’t worry, there's no way those aliens can get any closer while fighting in this place, let alone obtain the things inside.”

Zu An nodded. If not for the help of the divine artifacts, he wouldn’t have even been able to approach the altar. There was no way those guys could do it. Once he realized that, he returned to Shang Liuyu’s side and helped her chase away some creatures that had rushed over.

“What happened to your hand?” Shang Liuyu saw his hand that had almost been reduced to bones and was frightened.

“It’s nothing,” Zu An said while using the Primordial Origin Sutra. The regenerative force covered his arm, and flesh grew at a visible rate. Soon after, his arm was back to normal. Apart from being a bit paler than usual, there was no difference.

Shang Liuyu was shocked. High-level cultivators did have powerful recovery abilities, but one would need at least almost a year to recover from a wound like that, as well as the support of countless treasures! And yet, Zu An was able to recover almost instantly!

Zu An recounted what had happened on the altar to Shang Liuyu. Shang Liuyu’s thoughts moved quickly, and she quickly shouted, “The Skin-Flaying King!”

The Skin-Flaying King seemed to know a lot about this place and had likely found out that information ahead of time from a different source. That was why he hadn’t wanted to fight over it here, instead heading inside to participate in the trial of authority.

Zu An calmly said, “Don’t worry, I placed a Far-Tracking Talisman on him. I know where he is.”

He was about to proceed with Shang Liuyu when he froze.

“What is it?” Shang Liuyu quickly asked when she noticed his strange behavior.

Zu An’s expression was strange. “There seems to be a voice calling out to me.”

“Calling out to you?” Shang Liuyu’s expression changed. “This kind of calling is sometimes an opportunity, but sometimes a trap. You need to be careful.”

“That woman is right. You can follow it and take a look. Who knows, it might just lead to a way to obtain this World Law Beacon and Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine,” Mi Li said.

Zu An shook his head slightly. “There's no urgent need to respond to this calling. I’ll go after dealing with the Skin-Flaying King first. I just have a feeling that he’s up to no good.”

The reason why he hadn’t chased after the Skin-Flaying King before was because he was worried that the alien monsters gathered here would be able to obtain the World Law Beacon and immortal medicine. Since he was now sure that they couldn't get the treasures, there was no need to remain here.

Just then, the two alien monsters said, “Kid, regardless of whether you're the Lord of Myriad Transformations or an impersonator, we’re all in the same boat now. If we don’t work together to kill these monsters, we’ll all die here!”

Zu An laughed. “Who says I'm in the same boat as you two?”

After saying that, he left in the same direction Ka Qier had gone earlier.

As if guessing his thoughts, the Shadowhorror Devil released a cold snort. He sent a dragon-tailed humanoid into the cave to block their way. “How about now?”

When it reached the entrance, the dragon-tailed humanoid seemed to have remembered its mission. It quickly gathered several three-headed, six-armed creatures to block the entrance so no one could escape.

Shang Liuyu’s expression changed. Those three-headed, six-armed creatures were already strong enough, let alone these dragon-tailed humanoids who had just killed the Firedevil Sea Beast. Now that they were blocking the entrance, they wouldn't be able to go after the Skin-Flaying King immediately.

However, Zu An wasn’t fazed at all. He took her into his arms and wrapped her tightly within his cape. Shang Liuyu was stunned. When she felt their bodies press together tightly, her face became a bit red.

What is he trying to do?

Just then, the light rays around Zu An twisted. Then, he became like a black hole, turning everything within three feet dark.

This was a skill he had comprehended while fighting against the Shadow Monster King. He distorted the surrounding light rays with the Heaven Swallowing Sutra to produce darkness. Then, he used his Hidden in the Dark skill. In absolute darkness, his presence would be completely erased.

Sure enough, he and Shang Liuyu vanished from the eyes of the aliens and reanimated creatures. There was no trace of them left.

“What?!” The Bloodthirst Crocodile and Shadowhorror Devil widened their eyes. This scene was beyond their understanding. Where did that guy go?

And with that, the two of them became the target of the beatings.
