Chapter 585: Crocodile Illusion
However, the Shattering Space Power within the lake water was simply too powerful, allowing his Divine Sense to only inspect a nearby few meters, and he was unable to inspect any farther distances.
The Shattering Space Power obstructed his Divine Sense Inspection, so he could only rely on the unique Domain Power of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul to inspect a few meters around his body.
Had he not possessed the unique Domain Power of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, he would have been blind by now, able only to grope around by waving his hands in front of him.
Fortunately, the underground lake was not deep, and he soon dived into the lake bottom.
He felt around at the bottom of the lake for a while until he finally found a skeleton.
By the appearance of the skeleton, it was clear that it was not from the Human Clan but from the Alligator Clan.
Duan Gujin initially wanted to go pick up the crocodile skeleton, yet he soon discovered that the skeleton possessed countless strange energies.
The moment his hands touched the crocodile skeleton, his whole body would feel as though it was shocked by electricity, becoming completely numb.
He initially thought that as long as he could withstand the shocks, he could carry the crocodile skeleton up.
However, after several attempts, he ultimately failed.
The Lightning Power released from the crocodile skeleton grew stronger, and he discovered that his Body couldn't take it anymore.
"Unexpectedly, this crocodile skeleton possesses such powerful Lightning Power; could it have encountered a Heavenly Tribulation before?"
In the Cultivation system, above the Martial Saint Realm lies the Shattering Void Realm.
Just as Duan Gujin was considering other methods, suddenly, he sensed that the crocodile skeleton lying ahead on the lake bottom began to move.
"Disaster!"
Previously, the Heartless Demon Saint had told him that once the crocodile skeleton starts moving, it means that it is about to impart martial arts knowledge to him.
However, this kind of knowledge transfer is not something that ordinary members of the Human Clan or crocodiles could endure.
At the next moment, the hollow eye sockets of the crocodile skeleton suddenly flashed with two blood-red lights.
In the pitch-black lake bottom, the sudden appearance of two blood-red lights was indeed somewhat frightening.
Duan Gujin quickly calmed down; the Heartless Demon Saint had already told him how to deal with the crocodile skeleton.
Very soon, Duan Gujin received a Divine Thought from the crocodile skeleton, and upon hastily checking it, he realized that it was an attempt by the crocodile skeleton to pass on an ultimate skill of the Alligator Clan, asking if he wanted to learn the ultimate skill of the Giant Crocodile Clan.
Duan Gujin thought that if he refused the request of the crocodile skeleton, many variables might appear on it.
"Yes!"
Duan Gujin immediately responded.
Shortly afterward, he saw dozens of crocodile shadows suddenly appearing in the Void ahead.
His complexion greatly changed, and he extended his Divine Sense to look around.
He quickly confirmed that what he sensed were illusions, not physical entities.
"To defeat enemies, our Giant Crocodile Clan must first have extremely strong Bodies! Only with a very strong Body can one fight the enemy at close quarters!"
At this moment, the Divine Thought sent by the crocodile skeleton echoed beside Duan Gujin.
"Then come on over!"
Although Duan Gujin knew that the crocodile skeleton in front of him had been dead for a long time and might not have any consciousness at all,
subconsciously, he responded in that way.
Following that, Duan Gujin sensed that the air around the front crocodile skeleton seemed to burst forth with immense momentum suddenly.
At the same time, the number of crocodile shadows also increased instantly.
"So powerful!"
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, and he quickly inspected those crocodile shadows, whose strength was at least at the Fifth Level of Martial Emperor.
If he were surrounded by dozens of Giant Crocodiles with cultivation equal to the Fifth Level of Martial Emperor, he couldn't imagine what his fate would have been.
He immediately took a sharp breath and prepared to dodge.
However, he was now at the bottom of the lake, and his movement speed had become very slow.
He had a bad feeling about dodging the attacks in the water from dozens of experts whose cultivation level was similar to his.
"Don't be afraid! These are all illusions!"
He took a deep breath, soothing himself with these thoughts.
He believed that those dozens of crocodile shadows were merely illusions and even if they hit his body, they wouldn't cause much damage.
"I think those shadows are similar to Divine Soul attacks! I must be cautious of their sudden strikes on my Divine Soul!"
Upon reflection, he felt that the crocodile shadows ahead might just be an eye-blocking technique, merely a means for the deceased crocodile skeletons to launch their Divine Soul attacks.
Realizing this, he began to observe the crocodile skeletons in front of him.
Within five breaths, those dozens of crocodile shadows pounced towards his body.
"They are illusions!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, readying himself for defense.
At this moment, he also wanted to clearly see what those crocodile shadows were really about.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, five crocodile shadows charged towards him.
After the crocodile shadows neared his body, they transformed into a massive force, assaulting his body with the momentum of tearing through the void.
With a loud bang, Duan Gujin rapidly retreated backwards.
Meanwhile, the crocodile shadows completely disappeared.
But before the crocodile shadows vanished, a powerful force charged towards Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin initially thought he could evade the attack launched by the crocodile shadows, but only after clashing with the crocodile shadows did he realize that they were a burst of energy emitted by the crocodile skeletons.
"So that's how it is!"
After knowing the truth, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered.
Although one of the crocodile shadows hit his body directly, it did not cause him much damage.
He circulated his Primordial Power to check his body.
"Good, I blocked it!"
He took a deep breath, his face showing elation.
Initially, Duan Gujin thought he had withstood the attack from the crocodile shadows.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a severe disorder in the Primordial Power within his body and he hurriedly circulated his Primordial Power, trying to stabilize it.
However, after a while, he still failed.
"My God! Could it be that the impact from that crocodile shadow just now caused the disorder in my Primordial Power?"
His eyes flashed as he considered this possibility.
About 15 minutes later, he finally managed to completely restore the disordered Primordial Power within him.
"Thankfully, I hadn't caught my breath when those crocodile shadows didn't launch a fierce attack on me! Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble!"
He took a deep breath, feeling fortunate for his luck.
However, a Divine Thought coming from the crocodile skeletons made him gasp in shock.
After understanding the meaning conveyed by that Divine Thought, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
It turned out that the Divine Thought was telling him that it was just letting Duan Gujin get used to it for now; next, the crocodile skeletons would send ten crocodile shadows to attack him simultaneously.
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered and then he decided that no matter what, he had to withstand the attack from the crocodile shadows.
He had an intuition that the attacks from the crocodile illusions would be greatly beneficial for the strengthening of both his Body and Divine Soul.
"I must endure it!"
The next moment, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and the lake water around him quickly started to freeze.
"Damn! It's going to freeze here!"
Duan Gujin was immediately alarmed, and he quickly realized that all these conditions must be the workings of the crocodile skeletons.
