Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2496: Chapter 2497: Falling into the Dark River

It’s this willpower!

Ye Luo keenly sensed a faint Divine Sense emanating from the dark river, which was the consciousness controlling these Ferocious Beasts.

In theory, Demon Beasts rarely develop Divine Sense, as it is determined by their species—only the Human Race and a few special races can generate consciousness.

Many races have extremely strong physical Strength, their cultivation talents far surpassing those of the Human Race, yet they are unrelated to consciousness, as determined by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Ye Luo was puzzled, could there be a Human Race or other races capable of generating Divine Sense hidden in this dark river?

After all, neither the Space-time Behemoths nor the Totem Beasts can generate consciousness.

In that case, the dark river becomes even more complex.

In just a brief moment, these Ferocious Beasts went completely berserk, which greatly shocked Ye Luo. Originally, he thought these Ferocious Beasts merely wanted to refine him, but now it seemed they truly intended to take his life!

Damn it, fight it!

Ye Luo widened his eyes and swung another sword, immediately knocking a Behemoth to the ground. But by then, the attacks of the other Behemoths were already in front of Ye Luo.

Facing this overwhelming Law Strength, Ye Luo could only smile bitterly. The tunnel was already tight, and this force of attack seemed to encompass the entire cave; where could he possibly hide?

Additionally, what frustrated him was that these Ferocious Beasts were using their utmost Strength from the start!

Even if he held on, he would be severely injured! Maybe even killed outright.

Given this, there was only one way left, since it was all or nothing, he might as well make a stand!

With this in mind, he suddenly jumped into the dark river.

Instantly, the icy cold river water enveloped him, making him feel like his soul was about to freeze.

Earlier he had studied the river water, and it contained only a shred of Space-time Law, but now, why was there suddenly added Ice Law? And a trace of Dark Law that Ye Luo had never seen before!

Indeed, this river water was truly unusual!

However, at that moment, he couldn’t worry about it, because he could feel that those Ferocious Beasts had also jumped down and were now pursuing him.

He had dodged that blow earlier, but he was already beginning to regret it.

In this river, he felt even more powerless. The river water severely impeded his abilities, reducing his Strength by at least twenty percent!

Of course, the Ferocious Beasts were affected too, even though they lived in these waters all year round, they were still impacted by the river water, which brought Ye Luo some relief, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed to run, he would simply have surrendered.

But his speed in the water was slightly slower than the Ferocious Beasts.

Yet he discovered that it seemed those Ferocious Beasts were toying with him!

Maybe they exerted all their Strength just to drive him into the water.

If they truly wanted to kill him, why weren’t they rushing to attack now, instead leisurely following behind him, clearly like herding a duck, driving Ye Luo in a designated direction?

Damn it! Ye Luo felt quite helpless, but he had no choice but to go in that direction.

All other directions were blocked by those Beasts, he simply couldn’t break through.

Moreover, spatial Behemoths and Totem Beasts occasionally appeared in the water.

From the outside, the dark river looked like a narrow strip, but this was clearly a vast lake, after all, giving Ye Luo a boundless feeling.

The issue was the Space-time Beasts didn’t attack him at all, but the Totem Beasts that occasionally appeared had eyes the size of fists, clearly showing a mocking expression.

Damn it, being despised by beasts!

If not for the Ferocious Beasts chasing him from behind, he would’ve certainly struck with his sword, as these Space-time Behemoths and Totem Beasts weren’t his match at all; one sword would take their lives.

However, he knew that there must be a more terrifying presence awaiting him at this location.

In that case, he might as well go see this creature, and since it didn’t want to kill him, it must have other motives.

Several hours later, he suddenly noticed that the Ferocious Beasts were no longer chasing him, instead gradually leaving this area.

This was not the bottom of the dark river; in fact, Ye Luo had no concept of how deep the dark river truly was.

However, there was a floating giant rock with many holes, and Totem Beasts occasionally appeared from them.

Moreover, Ye Luo noticed that the Totem Beasts here were vastly different from those outside.

If one were to explain, perhaps it was the difference in Bloodline purity, as the Totem Beasts here had gazes fixed upon them, and though their Strength wasn’t necessarily greater than other Totem Beasts, their aura was closer to a Totem.

”Looks like this must be the end!”

Ye Luo’s expression grew solemn; the Ferocious Beasts merely drove him here.

”Come in!”

A consciousness transmitted into his mind!

It was of the Human Race! Ye Luo’s eyes widened; indeed, it was a Human Race consciousness, something he could distinguish.

However, this didn’t mean he was safe; on the contrary, the consciousness was quite cold and hostile, clearly unfriendly towards him.

”Kid, even if you want to run now, it’s impossible. If you don’t want to die immediately, you’d better do as I say!”

The consciousness transmitted again.

It was right; the Ferocious Beasts outside hadn’t left, and now a few powerful Totem Beasts had focused on him.

Forcing his way out would only lead to death, with not even the slightest chance.

With that in mind, he bit his lip and headed towards a massive cavern.

The surrounding Totem Beasts stared coldly at Ye Luo but didn’t stop him, as if following orders.

Even before reaching the cavern, a foul stream floated out from it.

However, upon closer approach, the water within the cavern was dense with Spiritual Power.

What appeared as a foul stream was merely the excrement of the Beasts, which Ye Luo carefully avoided before entering the cavern.

As he suspected, inside the cavern, there was no river water, just a typical cave.

The surroundings weren’t lit by Luminous Pearls, but rather by torches, whose origin was unknown, burning several meters high and crackling as they burned.
