Originally, Li Nan wanted to dodge instinctively, but then, his mind suddenly recalled the scene on the mural.
So, instead of dodging, Li Nan temporarily changed his decision and stretched out his hand.
The next moment, he heard a “snap!” With a crisp sound, the drop of golden liquid fell directly into Li Nan’s palm.
Without waiting for Li Nan to see the golden liquid clearly, the golden liquid directly merged into Li Nan’s body and completely disappeared!
Just as Li Nan was wondering, he felt an incomparably powerful force, which instantly surged towards his limbs and body, and towards his mind and consciousness!
The power was so huge that even Li Nan had never seen it before.
In an instant, Li Nan’s entire body was in excruciating pain from this power, and his body trembled violently, even his soul seemed to be completely torn apart by this power!
Li Nan was shocked in his heart.
He had never expected that the power contained in this mere drop of golden liquid would be so huge that even a Heavenly Immortal like himself would find it difficult to resist!
Lai Nan dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly tried his best to control this power, otherwise, he feared that he might be completely torn apart by this power soon!
However, what Li Nan did not expect was that as he fought hard to resist, the power became more and more massive.
Soon, Li Nan found to his horror that his resistance was insignificant in front of this force.
In the end, Li Nan knew that no amount of resistance would be effective, so he gave up his resistance and withdrew his strength.
As he gave up, the next moment, that huge force instantly struck his whole body, and his divine mind was also struck by a huge impact like a mountain and a tsunami.
The next moment, Li Nan only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and his whole body directly fainted!
After an unknown amount of time, Li Nan woke up, only to find that he was not in the holy hall, but in the middle of a boundless void.
He stood up from the void and suddenly found that a tiny, ant-like figure was kneeling there at his feet.
This figure looked familiar, and was almost identical to the image of Zeus depicted in that fresco.
At that moment, a voice came from below.
“Thank you, Great Emperor, for bestowing divine power. Today, as my heavenly destiny has been fulfilled, I will return this origin divine blood! A thousand thanks! Ten thousand thanks! May the Great Emperor live with the sun and the moon and be blessed beyond measure!”
The voice was respectful and sincere.
Without waiting for Li Nan to understand what this was all about, he saw a drop of golden liquid coming from the hands of the figure below, reversing upwards and directly into his field of vision.
The next moment, with a poof, Li Nan woke up with a start.
Only then did he realise that he was still in the same sanctuary as before, and that the entire sanctuary was still empty and dead.
The only change was that the golden glow in the frescoes had long since disappeared!
Li Nan stood up from the ground, his entire mind was still in a trance.
The scene in the void just now was still vividly remembered.
However, Li Nan’s heart was full of doubts.
What was the scene in the void just now?
Was it something that happened in reality, or was it just a dream of his own?
To be honest, the scene just now was so real that Li Nan had a feeling that it might really be a reality!
But if it was really reality, it was a bit unjustified.
Why would Zeus kneel down to himself? And also said that he would return that origin divine blood to himself?
Could it be that the golden drop of liquid just now was the so-called Origin God’s blood?
Apart from that, there was another question that was even more puzzling.
That was, why did the other party address himself as Great Emperor?
Or was that address just to the person who had bestowed the Origin God’s Blood on him in the mural?
These questions lingered in Li Nan’s mind, making him unable to figure it out.
But right now, Li Nan really couldn’t be bothered to think about them.
He had passed out just now, but he did not know how long he had been unconscious.
There were more important matters to be resolved at Hitomi Mountain, and he simply could not afford to delay now.
Without further thought, Li Nan took one last look at the empty sanctuary, then he simply extinguished the flames and turned around to walk out.
Even Li Nan himself did not notice that the moment he turned around and the flames were extinguished, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a delighted yet eerie cold smile.
Li Nan walked out of the holy hall, and at the same time closed the stone door of this holy hall again.
Without the Spirit of Zeus, no one else could enter the sanctuary.
After all this, Li Nan flew up and continued to fly in the direction of Mount Hitomi.
At this moment, the sky was still dark, so it seemed that Li Nan had not been unconscious for too long.
The Hitomi Mountain is located almost at the easternmost part of the Sword Desolate Ancient Land.
The reason it was called Hitomi Mountain was that when viewed from high above, it looked like a huge pupil of an eye, which was the reason for its name.
Even in the entire True Martial World, Mount Hitomi is considered an extremely large mountain!
Trying to find the location of those Shura Palace spies in the middle of such a huge mountain was not an easy task.
Luckily, with Li Nan’s current cultivation level, the area that his divine sense could cover was already extremely wide, so he only needed to probe carefully, and in no time, he would be able to map out the entire mountain peak.
A few hours later, Li Nan finally arrived above Mount Hitomi.
As soon as he arrived, the first thing he did was to release his divine sense to explore the entire Hitomi Mountain.
At the same time, deep inside Hitomi Mountain, hundreds of figures were standing there.
In front of them was the entrance to a huge cave.
This cave led vertically underground, and above this cave, it was all covered by the branches and leaves of large interlacing trees, which were very dense.
Therefore, if one were to look down from the sky, one would not be able to detect the existence of this cave at all!
At this moment, in this cave, dozens of figures had already leapt down.
These dozens of figures were all the elites of the Xiu Luo Palace who were hunkered down inside the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
And among these dozens of people, the one at the head was no other than Zuo Chuan, who had once come into contact with Wu Ziyu before!
This time, Zuo Chuan was also able to sneak into this Sword Desolate Ancient Land through a special method, otherwise, with his position in the Shura Palace, he would have been immediately recognized by the people of the Divine Martial Sword Sect, and thus would have been denied entry into the ancient land.
“How about it, are you sure this is the right place?!”
Zuo Chuan rushed towards a figure next to him and asked in a low voice.
And at that moment, standing beside Zuo Chuan was not a large living person, but rather, it was clearly just a black-covered chimpanzee!
However, this chimpanzee’s mannerisms were very different from those of ordinary chimpanzees, and at first glance, it looked like a human being!
What is even more incredible is that this chimpanzee is now spouting human words.
“Yes, this is the place, I can already feel his breath! This is the place where the Ape Lord resides!”
This chimpanzee’s voice was incomparably excited, and his face actually showed an ecstatic expression that was no different from that of a human, looking extremely peculiar!
Zuo Chuan did not show any surprise at such a thing, apparently he was already used to it.
In fact, this chimpanzee was the secret weapon that Zuo Chuan had brought into the Sword Wasteland.
This chimpanzee was already enlightened, and, being of the Ape Djinn bloodline, his perception of the Ape Djinn was also unusually powerful.
This time, if it wasn’t for this chimpanzee to search the entire Hitomi Mountain, with Zuo Chuan’s skills, even if they stayed in this Hitomi Mountain for a month, they would probably not be able to find this hidden cave!
At this moment, hearing the chimpanzee’s words, a hint of joy appeared on Zuo Chuan’s face.
They had been hibernating in the Divine Martial Sword Sect for a whole year, and had spent too much energy on this matter, and now that they were about to succeed, Zuo Chuan’s heart was simply extremely excited.
But just at this moment, Zuo Chuan suddenly felt something and raised his head to look upwards.
“Senior Brother Zuo, what’s wrong?”
A man next to him asked in confusion.
“Someone is coming!”
Zuo Chuan said with a grave face.
Zuo Chuan’s cultivation level was already a Heavenly Immortal now, and his perception of external forces had also reached an extremely keen level.
Although it was just a moment ago, Zuo Chuan still clearly sensed the presence of other divine thoughts!
Someone was sweeping the air with their divine thoughts!
Moreover, they had already been discovered!
When the surrounding crowd heard this, they all frowned as well, slightly nervous.
After all, their plan was about to succeed, so they definitely couldn’t abandon it halfway!
Zuo Chuan naturally wouldn’t let this happen either.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chuan then said to the man from earlier, “Sun Ming, you immediately bring someone up there, before I wake up Ape Zun, you have to keep that person for me no matter what!”
“Understood!”
After saying that, the disciple named Sun Ming immediately leapt up with a dozen elite disciples and flew towards the top of the cave.
Zuo Chuan, on the other hand, did not slacken off any more.
“Everyone, speed up and go down!”
Zuo Chuan said, and then took the lead in leaping down, heading downwards at an even faster speed.
Those other people, too, all followed with a flash of their bodies.
Meanwhile, high in the sky.
Li Nan withdrew his divine sense, but a smug cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“This time, let’s see where you guys are still going to escape!”
