Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 310: Chapter 71: Where the Mighty Fall

Bones of strong warriors scattered everywhere told of the horrific events of past days. Each of these beings had been an astonishingly powerful warrior during their time, yet all had fallen here, evoking sighs of lamentation.

“Could these powerful individuals have been pursuing eternal life? Did they ultimately get trapped and die here?”

Long Yuxi voiced their thoughts, and Lin Feng considered it, indeed finding it very likely.

This place was known as the Eternal Life Temple.

Perhaps it really held the secret to eternal life.

Who in the world wouldn’t desire eternal life? But who could truly achieve immortality?

Was the secret of eternal life deep within the Eternal Life Divine Hall?

Lin Feng looked down the dark corridor, feeling that the depths of the Eternal Life Temple surely concealed a shocking secret.

He and Long Yuxi did not stop, continuing to delve further.

“Arrrooo! Arrrooo!”

The three-headed hellhound emitted a low growl, its expression panicked.

Lin Feng and Long Yuxi both frowned, stopping in their tracks.

The three-headed hellhound was telepathic and could sense dangers that Lin Feng and Long Yuxi couldn’t.

This was something that both Lin Feng and Long Yuxi were well aware of.

Seeing the three-headed hellhound become so agitated indicated that the situation was far from simple.

Great dangers likely lurked deeper in.

Long Yuxi said, “Big Black’s instincts have never been wrong.”

Lin Feng gave a wry smile and asked, “Do you think we still have a way back?”

Long Yuxi nodded in agreement, indeed just as Lin Feng had said, they no longer had a way back.

Retreating was naturally not an option to leave the Eternal Life Temple; perhaps the end result would be the same as those who had perished, turning into bones of the Eternal Life Temple.

Only by moving forward could there be a slim chance of survival.

Lin Feng and Long Yuxi’s resolve strengthened.

They continued onward, stumbling upon several skeletons along the way, all of whom had been supreme strongmen who had fallen here in the past.

Eventually, they entered a large hall divided into an inner and outer sanctuary. Within the outer sanctuary lay dozens of skeletons.

These skeletons varied in color—gold, silver, jade…

They were clearly unparalleled strongmen.

“Kill…”

Suddenly, a deep shout echoed from inside the hall.

Lin Feng felt as if the scene before his eyes had changed, as if he had traveled through the flow of time, arriving at an era filled with turbulence and murderous intent. Endless black mist obscured the hall, and one after another strongman charged into the fog, their roars shaking the heavens, as if they were fighting some existence.

“Ah!”

Lin Feng clutched his head and screamed. He was greatly affected and felt his divine soul nearly shatter.

This was the undying killing intent within the temple, launching an attack on Lin Feng’s soul.

At that moment, Lin Feng felt as if his soul no longer belonged to himself, as if it had been directly shattered.

“No!”

Lin Feng roared as he operated the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to resist the terrifying killing intent that surged into his mind.

“Roar.”

The phantom of the Ancient Dragon Elephant manifested, its feet stomping the heavens and its head supporting the galaxy, it roared loudly, and the endless killing intent was dispersed.

Lin Feng returned to reality.

He broke out in a cold sweat, having nearly been truly endangered; the killing intent in the hall had drawn him into an illusory world where his Divine Soul was nearly severed.

If his Divine Soul had been severed in that illusory world, his main body would have also perished.

“No, no,” Long Yuxi screamed in terror, clutching her head in evident pain. The three-headed Hellhound growled lowly, trying to wake Long Yuxi, but failed. Lin Feng’s expression changed drastically; Long Yuxi had not escaped from that illusory world. Lin Feng planned to take Long Yuxi out of this temple, but at that moment, Long Yuxi stopped screaming. She opened her eyes and gasped violently, still showing an expression of lingering fear.

Long Yuxi had clearly also overcome that killing intent. Lin Feng was secretly shocked. He had overcome the killing intent by relying on the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, a supreme ancient Forbidden Divine Skill, and Long Yuxi had succeeded as well—apparently, she must have also cultivated an extremely powerful cultivation technique. Of course, Lin Feng would not delve deeper and inquire.

“It’s the undying killing intent of this place affecting us; these deceased people were too strong. After countless years of their death, their killing intent hasn’t faded,” Long Yuxi said with a pale face.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “You see, these skeletons are different from those outside. Many skeletons still contain immensely powerful energy. Despite being dead for so many years, the energy has not dispersed. It’s unimaginable how powerful they were in life.”

Long Yuxi nodded, equally shocked. These people were really too strong, though it was difficult to confirm their identities, not knowing who they were to have had so many supreme strongmen die here.

Lin Feng examined the surroundings. Most had left no identifying marks, but while examining a jade-colored skeleton, he discovered a Jade Pendant.

“Eh, come and see!”

Lin Feng picked up the Jade Pendant and Long Yuxi hurried over.

The Jade Talisman had the character “Li” on the front and the characters “Taixuan” on the back.

“Li Taixuan! How could it be him?” Long Yuxi exclaimed in disbelief.

“Who is Li Taixuan?” Lin Feng looked at Long Yuxi, puzzled. He had not expected that Long Yuxi would have heard of Li Taixuan. It was a surprising revelation.

Long Yuxi said, “This man is from the Ancient Era, a peerless strongman from over a hundred thousand years ago, known as the Sword Immortal! It is rumored that this person broke through the shackles of the Divine Dao and left this ancient world to go to the legendary ‘Undying Realm’, but he never imagined he would die here.”

“Undying Realm?” Lin Feng looked at Long Yuxi in surprise, hearing this name for the first time.

Undying! It implied so much, making Lin Feng instantly think of many possibilities!

“Eternal Life is known, but I never expected there really to be a legend of the undying. Undying truly means eternal life. Above the divine spirits, could there really be such a realm? Could there truly be an Undying Realm?”

Lin Feng murmured, somewhat incredulously. He had thought the ancient Divine Spirits were the pinnacle of power in the world and that eternal life was merely a legend.

Long Yuxi said, “Rumors of the Undying Realm have always circulated among the most elite forces, but no one knows if it’s real. However, Li Taixuan was believed by many to have entered the Undying Realm. It turns out that was just a miscommunication. Li Taixuan died here, making it even harder to prove whether the rumored Undying Realm truly exists.”

Lin Feng nodded. He looked toward the inner hall and said, “Let’s go inside and see.”

Long Yuxi nodded, entering the inner hall with Lin Feng.

Upon entering, they both felt their scalps tingle.

And the three-headed Hellhound’s fur bristled all over, its six eyes looking fearfully into the depths of the great hall.
