God Of Immortals

Chapter 102: The Mystical Order [I]

After reaching an accord, they cautiously entered the passage and waded forward. Remains of nephilia spiders and critters could be seen littering the passage. It could possibly be that they were serving as a source of food for the death-eaters. Deeper into the cave, they went. Until they reached a massive area that resembled a colossal dragon's chamber. No matter how it was seen or percieved, that was the lair of a powerful death-eater or death-eaters. They contemplated turning back, but their curiosity won over them. However, they all agreed to use their teleportation seals if they ran into an extremely difficult situations. As they proceeded to examine the chamber. They saw large sword marks and claw marks all over the place.

Whatever or whoever killed the death-eater by the entrance, had been inside too.

The chamber seemed void of any other living creature until they turned to the other side of the colossal lair. They nearly jumped off their skin, save for Liu Luiyang who continued to observe calmly. There, reclining on the dais, was an extremely huge death-eater. That one was totally different from the massive one by the entrance. The dark colour of its scale was gleaming with gold radiance. Although, there were many deep slashes and wounds on it, the death-eater was still giving off immortal danger signal.

Ju Feng recognized it immediately. The same death-eater that almost cut off his head with its giant claws. Oh, that answered the two questions that had been bugling his mind. He now knew that the Conchi guardian was here at the cave, and that the mist was the same mist he first entered. That means the first tunnel could've led to the Death-Keep tunnels. The tree didn't tell him that. He could've easily died entering the tunnels. 

As Ju Feng was pondering, the death-eater raised its head and leered at them, one by one until it reached Ju Feng. In its eyes was the recognition of the one who woke it up from its deep slumber. The one it could taste the death-aura emanating from him. It had almost got him, but he had managed to escape its attack somehow. Then, the cursed guardian had prevented it from chasing the boy. It had underestimated the guardian's power, almost to its peril. Now, it could guess it had to be a treasure guardian at the cosmic level of power. Many of its members had died, and knew It had something to do with the crazy young mortal.

"Death-Walker."

It's eyes rested on Ju Feng with burning anger.

"At long last."

Immediately, the demigods stepped back except for Liu Luoyang. He continued to watch the death-eater with furrowed brows. Only one type of death-eaters could speak the Ortal language. A primal death-eater. A death-eater who had gained complete sentience or awareness after many millenia of absorbing spiritual energy. This was a death-eater that could claim divinity. A true immortal danger.

It was a crossroad. They looked at one another and they all nodded their heads in agreement to engage. No turning back and no running, for now.

Kang Ya's bronze breast-plate started to give of faint blue-white glow. Soon, the fiery glow covered her body like an armor. In a swift movement, she produced a bronze bow and fired a runic arrow at the death-eater.

"Breath of fire, flames of destruction."

The arrow burst into flames as it neared the death-eater. From where they were standing, the orhers could feel the burning and destructive power of the arrow. Swiftly standing up, the deayh-eater raised its massive claws that was roiling with immense dark energy. The arrow collided with it, creating a deafening sound before dissipating. But, the effect could stil be seen on its claws and scales that were glowing in red light.

"Do you think you are a match for me, demigod?"

The death-eater asked, making a gurgling sound of a laugh.

Fan Xinyi quickly flung her hands and tens of poisoned needles, flew straight at the death-eater.

"Fangs of death, a rotten world."

The needles hummed as they sped towards the death-eater. Sizzling in dark green glow, the needles combined together to form one needle. The dark green needle began to expand as it continued streaking forward. The rot and death aura coming from the needle was exceedingly overwhelming. The things around the needle appeared to suffer from it as they turned rotten green.

The death-eater's golden glow became thicker, and the roiling dark energy also became stronger. It formed a barrier with his giant claws. The impact from the collision was astonishing. Green glow covered the body of the death-eater for an instant before vanishing. The golden glow returned to its scale.

"Now, I look forward to killing you all. You little, disgusting demigods."

Fang Zedong looked at the new blade in his hand and shook his head. It was no heavenly sword like the black largesword of his family whic was already broken. It was only a worldly sword. How could a worldly sword do much damage to a primal death-eater? He didn't even have any more sword-seals on him. He would still do his best. And if it got out of hands, he would simply disappear with his teleportation seal. He raised his sword, pointing the sharp tip upward.

"From the heavens above, the forged steel descend."

An enormous largesword made of pure metal essence energy appeared above the death eater. The death-eater could feel the pressure of the descending sword. It knew the demigod's attack was weaker than the previous two. Hence, it raised only one massive claw hand. Although the impact was incredible, the essence sword was easily blocked.

Ju Feng was still thinking about the whole situation they were when the death-eater attacked like lightning. It moved with so much speed that it look like a phantom lightning. It attacked all of them at the same with one swift move. The other three demigods anticipated the attack, thus, they were ready. But Ju Feng was caught off-guard due to him being lost in thought. If not for the other deihods at his front, the attack on him could've been fatal. Still, the attack sent him sprawling a few yards back.
