Chapter 237 Time Treasure, Asura Clan
The light gates flowed and shifted, and the space changed.
When Li Xijun and the rest of the Great Xia National Government team regained their footing...
What came into view was not the temple ruins I had imagined.
Instead, it is an incredibly lush, vibrant, and almost wild primeval tropical rainforest.
Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and thick vines coiled and hung down like giant pythons. Strange plants, emitting a faint glow, were scattered everywhere. The air was hot and humid, thick with the strong smell of decaying vegetation and some unknown sweet fragrance. In the distance, the roars of unknown creatures echoed, adding to the wildness and danger.
At some point, both Professor Xu and Su Nianying had disappeared.
It seems they are already somewhere in the sky, observing the group's performance on this trip.
"According to the information, the treasures in this mythical secret realm are all inside the Feathered Serpent Temple. There are no precious natural treasures outside. Our destination is the Feathered Serpent Temple. Proceed according to the directions."
After determining the location, Li Xijun spoke.
The Nationalist team members nodded and immediately formed a defensive formation, heading towards the legendary, enormous temple used to worship and serve the feathered serpent god.
Not far along, a group of burly men with Western faces, dressed in tattered camouflage uniforms and covered in ferocious tattoos, emerged from the dense forest with menacing grins and blocked their path.
Their eyes were fierce, carrying the menacing aura of someone who had long been licking blood from the edge of a knife. The weapons in their hands were a motley collection, ranging from alloy machetes to brass knuckles crackling with electricity.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Look what we've found. A group of fresh meat from the East!" The leader, a bald, burly man with a face full of scars and a cigar in his mouth, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and a heavy accent.
Another tall, thin man with a scorpion tattoo on his face licked his lips, his eyes greedily sweeping over Su Nianyi and Ye Ningxue: "Hey boss, these chicks are pretty good! Want to keep them for a bit?"
The bald, burly man spat his cigar onto the ground, crushed it with his military boot, raised his exaggerated, serrated machete, pointed it at Li Xijun and the others, and roared:
"You yellow-skinned monkeys! Hand over all your supplies, weapons, and those beautiful women! Maybe we can give you a quick death! Otherwise... hehehehe..."
This scene caused the members of the Great Xia Kingdom's team to have subtle expressions.
"Are the local gangs really this rude?" Jiang Qiyue couldn't help but whisper.
"Panama has always been a mixed bag, with various factions vying for power, including the military, Western European Union representatives, and Amerindian representatives."
Su Nianyi began to explain to her softly:
"These places are full of islands and all kinds of bandits, and none of them have received any education. All kinds of heinous crimes are commonplace."
"Kill them all, so as not to delay our entry into the Feathered Serpent Temple."
Li Xijun had no interest in taking action against these people and casually gave them orders.
Jiang Qiyue's spear flew out instantly, bringing with it a chilling glint, and she killed the bald, burly man with a single thrust.
"Kill!" Wei Ying said coldly, and a bolt of lightning-fast arrow aimed straight for the throat of the tall, thin man who had spoken so rudely.
Jiang Tu roared, his fists flying fiercely, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing indiscriminately.
Ju Mengya, Cai Meier, and even Luo Xu and Zhou Mingji all simultaneously attacked their respective targets...
The battle turned into a one-sided affair almost instantly.
Although these desperados looked fierce, most of them were at the Transcendent Realm, with only one or two at the early stage of the Intent Realm. They were dealt with by the group in just a few breaths.
The remaining few were terrified and, no longer caring about their companions, screamed and fled into the dense forest.
"Hmph, they deserved to die." Ye Ningxue coldly sheathed her sword.
After using her mental power to crush the fleeing people to death, Su Nianyi let out a soft breath.
High in the air, Su Nianying nodded slightly upon seeing this: "Seeing more blood and getting used to killing is a good thing."
After a brief rest, the group continued their journey deeper into the rainforest.
They encountered several more attacks along the way, but they dealt with them all easily.
Having become accustomed to killing human martial artists, the members of the Great Xia Kingdom's military team acted more decisively, and their attacks became even more murderous.
at last,
More than an hour later,
The outline of a massive, magnificent building, partially obscured by countless vines and ancient trees, came into view.
It was a stepped, pyramid-shaped temple, ancient and mysterious, with blurred feathered serpent god patterns and hieroglyphs carved on the stone walls, exuding an atmosphere of desolation, holiness, and death.
This is the Temple of the Feathered Serpent.
The temple's perimeter is littered with signs of battle and ruins, clearly indicating that it has been visited by countless people.
"It is said that the Temple of Quetzalcoatl has seven levels, but most of the areas have already been explored."
Wei Ying recalled the information, "The only thing that is confirmed to still have value is the third-floor 'Time Corridor,' whose entrance was only recently discovered. It is said that there have been strange phenomena related to time there, and perhaps some treasures can be found there."
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.
Li Xijun also showed some interest.
Time is the power he wielded when he transformed into the white dragon.
However, there is almost no way to improve his innate supernatural power regarding time.
Generally speaking, one can only wait for time to pass and for their strength to increase, or for them to reap more power from the common people, before using the power of a stronger white dragon to enhance the power of their innate divine ability, "Time."
But now,
Hearing about the strange phenomena concerning time within the temple of the Feathered Serpent God, an emperor-level being, gave him some food for thought.
Mythical creatures of the Emperor level are on par with Martial Saints, so they might also possess power related to the 'Law of Time,' or related treasures within the temple?
Thinking of this,
His movements became even faster.
"Let's go! Let's check out the third floor!"
at the same time,
In the dense forest outside that pyramid-like temple,
Seven figures dressed in jet-black robes are slaughtering a team of explorers who appear to be quite strong.
Their methods were incredibly cruel. They didn't simply kill the victim; instead, they used a sinister ritual to extract the essence and resentment of the deceased from their body, transforming it into streaks of bloody malevolent energy that they then absorbed into themselves.
As the slaughter continued, the auras of the seven people seemed to merge into one, and the blood-red light around them grew stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into a blurry and ferocious phantom above their heads.
The phantom had three twisted, roaring heads, four arms wielding sharp claws, and was shrouded in viscous, blood-red aura, exuding a cold, brutal, and pure killing intent.
The energy fluctuations it emitted actually climbed higher and higher, infinitely approaching the threshold of the Outer Realm!
What's even more chilling is that within each of the Asura phantom's four arms, a blood-red longsword composed of pure killing intent is coalescing.
The sword was not yet fully solidified, but the sharpness it emitted already made people in the distance feel a faint stinging sensation on their skin.
That's an attack power that reaches the level of an exterior scene!
A gust of wind blew by, slightly lifting the hoods of two of the men in black robes, revealing faces that would terrify many.
A man's face was covered with twisted tumors and scars, making him look as ugly and ferocious as a demon from hell.
The other woman, however, was stunningly beautiful, yet her eyes held a chilling and cruel quality, like a venomous scorpion.
"They are from the Asura race."
Su Nianying, who was in the sky, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"The Panamanian government is getting more and more corrupt; they even let this mythical creature in?"
The Asura race is a powerful and intelligent race in many mythological worlds.
However, they are also a race that extremely reveres killing and destruction, proving their path through killing and rapidly increasing their strength by killing and absorbing blood energy.
These seven Asuras are clearly intended to form a powerful formation. The Asura civilization has a famous formation called the "Seven Fiends Asura Formation," which combines the power of seven people with the blood Fiends they have plundered. It can unleash destructive power comparable to that of an Outer Realm cultivator in a short period of time.
"It seems they intend to use the lives of everyone here to nourish their 'Bloodthirst' and temper those 'Asura Blood Swords'."
Professor Xu pushed up his glasses and looked at the scene.
On the other side, the coach of the French national team also quietly appeared not far from the two, clearly attracted by the commotion.
"So you're from the Asura clan. I hope you two won't make a move?"
The French instructor began by saying:
"Our Lei Sheng disciple has been invincible among the younger generation of the Western Alliance for too long these past few years, and has become somewhat arrogant."
"This is a perfect opportunity to use these Asuras to teach Chaos a lesson and make him learn humility."
