Xiao Chen checked the surroundings of the mound.
Currently, two Demonic Dao cultivators were having an intense battle there.
Based on what Xiao Chen observed, he guessed that the hole in the mound was collateral damage from the shock waves from the two's fight.
When the two saw the surging Demonic Qi, they clearly were both startled.
Then, wild joy followed before the battle intensified even further. Both of them wanted to finish off their opponent quickly, snatch the Dao Tool, and leave as soon as possible.
However, the more anxious the two became, the more they could not end their fight.
Xiao Chen already sensed several experts lurking in the shadows just like him.
These people coldly eyed the two, not feeling anxious at all.
The two people on the mound, nearest to the inherited Dao Tool, were merely early-stage Star Venerates.
No matter what the two did, they would not pose any problems.
Clearly, the hidden people were all smart people. They knew that there would be no benefit in showing themselves so soon.
Everyone was waiting for when the inherited Dao Tool truly appeared.
The good show had yet to begin.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the inherited Dao Tool to break free of its restrictions and soar into the sky.
After a while, the two Demonic Dao cultivators fighting on the mound felt that something was wrong.
The two exchanged one more move, then fled quickly.
If the two still did not leave, they would be the first to die when the Dao Tool appeared.
These two were not stupid.
Hence, a strange scene occurred. The Demonic Qi fuming from the mound clearly thickened, but the various scenes around were even scarier.
The surroundings turned quieter. Eventually, there was not even a single sound.
The calm before the storm truly made one feel strangely anxious.
“I wonder what will fly out?”
The little monk Yan Chen's voice suddenly sounded beside Xiao Chen, startling Xiao Chen.
“What are you doing, following me?” Xiao Chen asked with some reproach and frowned slightly.
Yan Chen smiled abashedly. “Big Brother Xiao, it's not strange. I am someone who naturally enjoys excitement. When I was stuck in the temple, I liked to sneak out and go down the mountain. I could not endure the loneliness.”
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, feeling speechless. He wondered which temple this little monk came from. To think that they managed to teach such a weirdo.
“Then, you are only allowed to watch. Don't ever give me any trouble.”
When Yan Chen heard that, he smiled faintly and said, “Hehe! Don't worry. I never look for trouble.”
There was one more thing that Yan Chen did not say. He indeed never looked for trouble. It was usually trouble that sought him out.
However, this time there should not be any trouble. I am just watching from a distance. Yan Chen smiled uncertainly in his heart.
Suddenly, right at this moment, countless horrifying shrieks burst out of the mound, sounding like the mountains and seas wailing in anguish.
A baleful aura soared up, causing everyone to tremble in fear and sending chills down their spine.
The Demonic Dao cultivators hidden in the darkness shivered reflexively in excitement.
Just based on this sound, they could tell that this inherited Dao Tool had refined an untold number of resentful souls.
It had to be at least one million. Furthermore, these would not be ordinary resentful souls. Otherwise, the sound would not be so mournful and piercing, reaching the depths of one's soul.
“Rumble…!”
Without warning, countless bolts of lightning tore through the sky and shattered the demonic clouds.
It was like the Heavenly Dao did not permit such a Dao Tool with overwhelming sin to appear.
“Heavenly Lightning!”
“It is actually an inherited Dao Tool that can provoke Heavenly Lightning. This is incredible. This inherited Dao Tool must be extraordinary!”
“The success rate of refining an inherited Dao Tool that can stir up Heavenly Lightning is frighteningly low. It is too easy for them to get damaged by Heavenly Lightning. The Myriad Holy Temple of the past was truly a great Demonic Dao sect.”
This mysterious phenomenon immediately caused a big commotion. Many Demonic Dao cultivators started discussing with each other.
Several bolts of Heavenly Lightning fell, but the Demonic Qi blocked them all; they failed to strike the ground and could not harm the inherited Dao Tool.
As Xiao Chen gazed at the lightning in the sky, he felt astonished in his heart. This inherited Dao Tool that is about to appear is probably several levels higher than that ghost pennant.
If it landed in the hands of a Demonic Dao cultivator, the other party would definitely grow much stronger.
That would immediately create another strong enemy for Xiao Chen.
He wondered if he should risk snatching this inherited Dao Tool.
This thought appeared for only a moment before Xiao Chen rejected it.
The strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake. It was simply irrational for him to fight alone in this place and try to snatch this inherited Dao Tool. The risk was too great.
Furthermore, this was not the time for the final struggle.
Before the nightless mysterious phenomenon happened, Xiao Chen had best avoid doing anything that would attract attention.
That's right. It is better to watch from afar. That way, my enemies will be in the open, and I will be hidden. The more I understand, the greater my advantage.
Based on his own experience, Xiao Chen knew that the new wielder would not be able to bring out the full might of the inherited Dao Tool right away.
“Hehehehehe!”
The inherited Dao Tool in the mound let out a burst of scary laughter as if displaying wild disdain for heaven.
The Heavenly Lightning grew increasingly terrifying but never reached the mound to injure the inherited Dao Tool.
Just when everyone thought that the inherited Dao Tool would successfully appear, an intense and very piercing light suddenly flared in the sky.
Caught off guard, nearly everyone, including Xiao Chen, felt their eyes hurt.
“Boom!”
Close on the heels of that was an intense explosion. The mound was instantly leveled, and dust flew into the air, obscuring the sky.
The shrieks of countless resentful souls rang out. The fearless and unruly Demonic Qi that soared into the clouds got chopped apart and scattered with the wind.
The Heavenly Lightning had injured the inherited Dao Tool.
As expected, a scarlet demonic mirror appeared in the air, flickering with a flamelike black light, and flew in a certain direction.
The black demonic light was unsettling, but one could clearly feel it weakening. That final Heavenly Lightning had indeed injured this inherited Dao Tool that stirred the place up.
Xiao Chen opened his dazzled eyes, feeling something was wrong. His expression changed drastically.
“Whoosh!” The demonic mirror disappeared.
Xiao Chen turned his head and eyed Yan Chen beside him. Then, he asked through clenched teeth, “Little monk, can you explain why this inherited Dao Tool flew into your hands?”
