ROAARR!!

"Hmm?!" Duan Li instinctively looked at the ground beneath him, and his frown deepened.

A strong monster underground.. is it the queen?

"That is the call of the queen! Young Master, prepare yourself.. the queen is an entirely different opponent when compared to everything that you have faced before!" the little sword said as he too became wary.

He had no doubt in the capabilities of his young master, but he had witnessed the strength of the queen back then, and if it were the same as the one below, then his young master would be in for the trouble!

"En!" Duan Li nodded as he continued to slash forward at the Parasitic Killerworms, dozens of them has already died by his sword at this moment.

Swish!

At this moment, he could only try to thin down the numbers of these Parasitic Killerworms before the boss came out!

...

At the summit of the large volcano, there was a bald person sitting cross-legged, looking dashing from afar as his head glistened. This person was the Guardian of the second region, Dugu Liubai!

Right now, this person with the highest authority in this region was scratching his bald head feeling confused as to why the holographic screen was not coming out from the projection stone on his hand.

Pak! Pak!

"What is wrong with this projection stone? Is it broken? He should've finished the first trial by now.." he said, feeling quite frustrated as he knocked the projection stone against the ground several times, in the hopes that the image would kick in.

When Duan Li entered the maze, he had been watching the entire proceedings from the very start. He had to give his approval nod to this projection stone that he got from the Guardian of the Fourth region, as the holographic screen was of a very high quality!

However, for some reason, after Duan Li entered the bronze vortex which was the first trial, he couldn't see anything through the projection stone at all!

There was only a static screen which he couldn't understand why it was playing like that, as if the signal was cut off!

I bought this one for an astronomical price! Is it actually a scam?

Or did I forgot to renew my subscription plan?

Bzztt!!

"Eh?" the projection stone on his hand emitted some lightning pulse before the static screen projection was back on with the high definition hologram like before!

"Good grief, its finally back on! Let's see where he is now.. ah, the second trial I see! As long as he could beat a thousand of them, he should be good to go for the third trial!"

At this moment, he noticed Duan Li's prowess with the way of the sword.

"What superb handling! How did he managed to master the sword arts to such an extent? It must've been from the tutelage of a formidable sword master! To think that the Tian continent nowadays has such a person!" he exclaimed feeling extremely amazed!

A single clean slash to instant kill a Parasitic Killerworm! He had seen many talented sword genius before, but nothing came as close as to what Duan Li was showing off right now!

In fact, the display of sword arts that Duan Li used right now was even higher than him! But of course, this does not mean that he would lose to Duan Li in a battle of the swords. After all, by the end of the day, cultivation realm still matters.

As he watched, he had several epiphanies of resolving the many mistakes in his sword arts and nodded once in a while as if taking notes like a diligent student.

"Ah, so it was like that, instead of swinging the sword directly, the energy transfer needs to start from the feet and passes through the crotch.."

As he secretly enjoyed watching and learning at the same time, feeling that it was killing two birds with one stone, the next moment had his countenance immediately turned pale!

ROARR!!

"That.. that bellow is from the queen of the Parasitic Killerworm!" he immediately stood up from his cross-legged position in a panic.

This is bad! How did the queen woke up from its slumber?

Even if there was a huge ruckus going on above ground, the queen shouldn't even give it a single damn! After all, it should only be interested in sucking the spiritual Qi from the Yin Yang Cube!

The Yin Yang Cube was a unique stone forged by the Grand Immortal, and its purpose was to supply the queen with an inexhaustible supply of spiritual Qi!

However, it was actually not infinite as per say, but that it merely absorbed the spiritual Qi of the one that used it!

This was why the Cube stone was named as the Yin Yang Cube, because it cycled the usage of spiritual Qi by following the law of universal balance!

In this way, the queen would think that it could suck spiritual Qi from the Cube all day long, but it was actually just sucking in its own spiritual Qi that was recycled by the Yin Yang Cube!

Otherwise, if the Yin Yang Cube could really supply an infinite amounts of spiritual Qi, the queen would have already evolved into something terrifying that even he would not be able to stop!

But this was exactly why he worried, because even if the queen's realm were lower than his, it doesn't mean that the queen was an easy opponent to deal with!

If it was already a trouble for him, it could only be a given that defeating the queen would be like scaling the heavens with Duan Li's current realm!

However, what caused the queen to make a move in the first place? It should only be concerned about spiritual Qi..

"Wait a moment! If I'm not mistaken, that fellow cultivated all three of his dantians! That makes his spiritual Qi incredibly dense and thick!" he said as realization strucked him.

Damn it! As the Guardian, I'm not allowed to intervene in trials.. even if the cultivator were to die in it, there was nothing I could do..

However, this fellow is different.. he had an infinite potential to grow! If he were to die, that would be such a waste!

Gritting his teeth, Dugu Liubai came to a swift decision, "If it comes down to it, then I'll just have to break the rules once!"

...

The ground continued to tremble immensely, as the queen was burrowing and crawling through the soil at a rapid speed!

While the surface area was only 500 meters by 500 meters square, the regolith under it was actually 10 kilometers deep! This was because the queen was absolutely massive, its 800 meters length would quickly traverse through such a distance in no time at all!

BOOMMM!!

"T-There it is.. the queen of the Parasitic Killerworm!" the little sword shivered at this sight.

It was even more massive than the one from before! By the looks of it, a part of its body was still underground too!

"So this is their queen..formidable!" Duan Li narrowed his eyes in wary, the aura radiating out by this queen was extremely horrifying that the air seemed to seethe continuously!

PSHUUU!!

Pshhh!!

A gaping hole tored through Duan Li's left arm! He was fortunate that his instinct evaded it in the last moment, as the attack did not come from in front of him, but below ground!

Dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

"Young Master!" the little sword shrieked out in horror.

"I'm fine!" Duan Li replied as he stared at the queen that was wriggling none stop like a viper, ready to prowl onto him at any moment!

The appearance of this queen was definitely like a combination of a viper snake and a leech! Furthermore, its skin was scaled like a reptile, but the mucus membrane that covered it from top to bottom gave it both defense and extreme agility!

In my current state, I would not have a single chance to beat it!

"First, I need to conserve my spiritual Qi and identify its attacking pattern, defenses and methods of counter-attacking.. therefore, the correct course of action right now would be.."

Huuu!!

"Tri-Desolation Heavenly Arts: First Desolation Warring Intent!"

BOOMM!!

Hints of flames began to suddenly burn under Duan Li's feet before rising upwards and then coelescing into a small ball of fire about the size of an adult's palm, which floated on Duan Li's back!

Clenching his fists tight, Duan Li then marvelled at the current flow of Qi inside his meridians and pathway channels. They were moving vigorously as if boiled by the flames itself!

By his estimate, his prowess has increased by five times at least!

"As expected of the family heirloom technique of the Imperial family!" Duan Li nodded to himself. If he had the Phoenix bloodline, his prowess would perhaps elevate to eight or ten times than this!

This was a technique imparted to him by the Emperor, Jiu Xian Ping, as a gift for defeating one of the member of the Dark Sect, Cao Tengfei!

While the amount of power-ups that this technique was not comparable to his Super mode 1 and Super mode 2, its still quite decent nevertheless, as the First Desolation Warring Intent was an overall boost to his offensive attributes for as long as the skill remained active!

On the other hand, his Super modes refered to him agitating the lightning element inside his dantian and fusing it with his spiritual Qi to elevate his overall attributes by at least 10 times more than normal, and 50 times on Super mode 2!

However, the only downside to this Super modes was that its spiritual Qi consumption was extremely demanding and taxing to the body!

Learning from his previous experiences in the First region of the Eternal Maze, he knew that he shouldn't squandered his spiritual Qi even if he has several times the reserves when compared to the average cultivators, especially when fighting bosses!

Not to mention, this queen of the Parasitic Killerworms was probably the most formidable opponents that he had ever faced!

Unless he was sure of every movement patterns that the queen would make, he would not go into Super modes at all!

Ssuuu!!

The gaping hole on his left arm healed, and with a smirk, Duan Li raised his left hand and beckoned with his middle finger towards the queen with a provoking attitude, all while shouldering the little sword to his back imposingly!

"Come!"

ROAARRR!!
