Chapter 847 The Three-legged Golden Toad

“Oh my god, my dear Chancellor, it’s great that you’ve defeated Rijkaard…”

“My lord, you are the glory of our Dark World…”

“My lord, you’re great. I adore you…”

All the dark creatures present were excited to hear that Sharapova had defeated Rijkaard.

They had been oppressed by the Divine Court for the past years and this was their first victory.

The Wolf King said excitedly, “Lord Chancellor, shall we go straight to the Holy City and wipe it out while the Divine King is injured?”

Khorkina shot him a glance. “You stupid guy. Have you forgotten about the Divine Healing of the Divine Court?

“The Divine King would soon recover from his injury if we didn’t kill him in one go. We would definitely be killed if we are at the Holy City right now.”

As the Dark Council President, Sharapova also got the point. She said to those around her, “What we have to do now is not to go to the Holy City, but to return to where we belong as soon as possible.

“We must get ready now. I believe that the Divine Court will get back at us soon.”

Then she left the Sun-never-set Empire with her followers and hurried back to their old haunt.

Qin Haodong and Lev came to Crow Canyon, hid their car in a secluded place, and then walked in.

They heard the sounds of cawing.

It was the crows’ cries. Countless crows flew over their heads like a mass of black clouds.

Following the map, they soon found themselves near the eastern side of the canyon.

Lev took a glance at the map, “Master, is there something wrong with it? There is nothing here.”

Qin Haodong was very excited. He could feel the distinct fluctuations of formation here. A hidden array had been set up in Crow’s Canyon, and the environment had totally changed.

He could feel that the formation, which had been in place for many years, was showing signs of weakening. This must be an ancient relic.

The formation here suggested that this was the ancient remains of eastern monks.

At the same time, he wondered why there were remnants of eastern monks. After all, this was the Western world.

No one could give him an answer and he could only go in and look for it himself.

Qin was not in a hurry to take action. He had entered countless ancient relics in the Cultivation World, many of which had hidden dangers. He believed it was no exception here, so his top priority was to improve his cultivation.

He left with Lev and then stayed in a dry and hidden cave in the nearby mountains to practice.

After several formations were set up, Qin Haodong sat cross-legged in the cave while Lev guarded the entrance for him.

Qin Haodong took out the Crown of God and held the top-level Spirit Stone in the palm of his hand.

No wonder it was the best stone. The Spiritual Qi it emitted was so rich that it made him feel very comfortable.

He closed his eyes and slowly ran the Green Wood Genuine Qi. The Spiritual Qi in the cave immediately rushed into his body.

The Spiritual Qi immediately turned into pure Genuine Vitality and was absorbed by his Nascent Soul, which grew slowly as time went by.

After a long time, Qin Haodong woke up from his meditation and found that the top-level Spirit Stone had turned into powder.

He hurriedly checked his sea of consciousness and found that the Nascent Soul, which was only about 20 centimeters long, had become extremely huge. It was about one meter long now, and its five senses were sharper and more agile than before.

He had reached the peak of the middle of the Nascent Soul and was only one step away from the final stage.

As long as the Nascent Soul was the same size as his body, he would be at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Master, you’re finally awake!”

Lev came over and exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Haodong nodded, “Let’s go over and have a look.”

They came to the ruins again. The hidden formation here was not a problem for Qin and he quickly broke the formation and a huge cave appeared.

“What… the techniques of the East are really amazing!” Lev’s mouth hung open in surprise.

“There was nothing here just now. How did such a big cave suddenly appear?” he wondered.

Qin stepped into the mouth of the cave. The cave was huge and was about 10 meters high and 5 meters wide.

The mouth of the cave was blocked by a huge rock, and there seemed to be some fluctuation of formations. If you could not find the way into the hole, even the top practitioners could not force their way in.

With countless experiences in entering ruins, Qin began to search around the cave.

Beside the hole was a hand-carved groove on which the Chinese character “Blood” was written in ancient characters.

“The Blood Slot!”

Qin Haodong immediately realized that blood was essential for opening the door here. But he didn’t know if his blood would work.

He cut his index finger with the Xuan Yuan Sword and put three drops of blood into the slot.

Then something strange happened. The slot was like a sponge, absorbing the blood instantly.

Then there was a wave of energy, and the rock slid open slowly on either side, revealing a gap for the two of them to enter.

“I made it!”

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. It seemed that his blood was effective and could successfully unlock the seal of the formation here.

“Master, the cave is open!”

Lev walked excitedly into the cave. But as soon as he arrived at the entrance, his body was thrown back, as if hit by an invisible force.

This force was so great that even someone as strong as the Wolf King could not resist it. Lev was thrown more than ten meters away.

The good news was that the tactics here were designed to keep the invaders out, not to kill them. Otherwise, Lev would have been seriously injured or even killed.

Lev got up and shouted, “Master, be careful. It’s too weird here.”

Qin Haodong ran his Genuine Qi and walked forward carefully, but nothing unusual happened.

“What’s going on?”

Lev followed Qin and tried to enter the cave. But the moment he set foot into the cave, once again, he was stopped by the invisible force.

“Master, this is so weird. Why can’t I get in?”

Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “It seems that this is a formation set up by my ancestors. Only Huaxia people are allowed in. You’re a western Werewolf, so you’re denied entry.”

“What…”

Lev looked depressed.

“You go back to the cave where we rested yesterday and wait for me. I’ll look for you when I’m done.”

Qin Haodong stepped into the cave. When he passed through the door, the rock slowly moved and the hole closed again.

The cave was not very dark because there were glowing stones embedded in the walls. He walked over and took a look. These stones were not luminous pearls, but ores of unknown origins.

He walked slowly down the cave and suddenly heard a strange cry after walking several meters.

“Goo… Goo…”

It sounded like a frog’s cry but was louder than an ox’s roar. The echoes were deafening in the cave.

At the same time, he felt uneasy and quickly stopped. Any treasure must be guarded by a spirit beast and this place was no exception.

Just as he looked around, something huge and black suddenly appeared.

It was the size of a small SUV and covered in numerous bumps. Its two huge front paws were placed in front of its body, and its eyes shone like headlights. Its mouth was open and its tongue which was several meters long, lolled out.

“Is this a toad?”

Qin Haodong was a little surprised. He had never seen such a huge toad even in the Cultivation World.

This was not an ordinary toad. It had two legs in front and only one leg behind it. It was actually a Three-legged Golden Toad.

A greedy look came into the toad’s eyes the moment it saw Qin Haodong as if it saw something delicious.

The toad croaked again.

With a muffled roar, the Three-legged Golden Toad pounced on Qin Haodong. It was as fast as the top saints.

Qin Haodong jumped aside to avoid its attack, but the toad was very agile. Although Qin managed to dodge to one side, the toad’s tongue which was several meters long, flew toward him.

D*mn it, the toad must have thought he was a fly!

Qin jumped to escape the tongue and then landed on the back of the toad. He then punched it hard in the back.

After entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, his punch was enough to break mountains. The toad would be smashed into pieces even if it was an SUV.

However, such a powerful punch had no effect on the Three-legged Golden Toad. Its defense was even more astonishing than that of the Blood Race.

As if it knew that Qin Haodong was on its back, the toad leaped into the air and tried to hit the roof.

Qin Haodong quickly jumped from the back of the golden toad, but before he landed, its tongue, the size of the python, flew out at him again.

“D*mn it!”

Qin Haodong punched its tongue and retreated with the help of the recoil force.

At the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he wanted to test his strength by fighting against the golden toad, so he was not in a hurry to take out his Xuan Yuan Sword.

The fight lasted for half an hour, and he did not gain the upper hand.

Qin Haodong was practicing the Cultivation Method, so he would be invincible among his peers once he entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He didn’t expect that he could not defeat a Three-legged Golden Toad even with such high cultivation.

This toad was as powerful as the middle-stage Saints.

After a few more rounds of fighting, Qin Haodong gradually lost his patience. It seemed that he could not break the defense of the Three-legged Golden Toad without the Xuan Yuan Sword.

“Big guy, I don’t want to kill you, but I have to now.”

Qin Haodong knew very well that it would take thousands of years for a spirit beast to reach such a high stage. But this guy was the defender and he could not access the relics without killing it.

Then he stretched out his right hand, and the Xuan Yuan Sword appeared with a golden light.

The toad croaked again.

The toad was in high spirits and it was about to attack Qin Haodong again, but a trace of respect immediately flashed in its eyes the moment it saw the Xuan Yuan Sword.

Then it retracted its huge tongue and lay on the ground obediently.

Qin Haodong was quite surprised. Did this beast know how powerful the Xuan Yuan Sword was? Was it afraid of him?

Just when he was puzzling over this, a light flashed in front of him, and a blurry figure appeared in the cave. It was Emperor Xuan Yuan.
