Chapter 221 Golden Scale Beast
"So how exactly do we get up there?"
Gu Ce looked at the Universe Venerable of the Hong Alliance and asked.
The Universe Venerable was somewhat apprehensive. He subconsciously glanced at the Lord of Hundred Bamboo in the distance before speaking, "Getting to the second level of the temple is simple and not dangerous. You just need to go through that passage... However, this passage has been occupied by the Lord of Hundred Bamboo and those people from the Northern Frontier Alliance, so I don't know what's on the second level. Judging from their appearance, it might be somewhat dangerous."
Northern Xinjiang Alliance.
Gu Ce looked over and frowned slightly, only to see that the Lord of Hundred Bamboos had forced an ugly smile onto his face.
"Lord Starsea, if you wish to ascend, I can certainly make way for you," said the Lord of Hundred Bamboo with a smile.
"Lord of a Hundred Bamboos, what's on it?" Gu Ce was no longer in a hurry and asked the Lord of a Hundred Bamboos.
"Whatever it is, Venerable Xinghai will know once he goes up and takes a look." The Lord of Hundred Bamboo's smile was disgusting. It was obvious that he had ill intentions and wanted to use Gu Ce as a pathfinder.
Gu Ce squinted and looked at the Lord of Hundred Bamboo.
He felt that crushing the Lord of Hundred Bamboo wouldn't be difficult, but killing him completely would be a challenge. He wondered if the Lord of Hundred Bamboo had any hidden tricks or any supreme treasures.
After all, he has reached the level of a universe master, so it's quite difficult for him to die.
At this moment, the Lord of Hundred Bamboo looked at Gu Ce with some nervousness.
There aren't many people from the Northern Frontier Alliance around the field, so if a fight really breaks out here, it's hard to say who will win or lose.
"Lord of the Hundred Bamboos, how about we go up together?" Gu Ce invited.
"Hmm?" The Lord of Hundred Bamboo's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and said, "Venerable Star Sea, this concerns a top-tier treasure. Would you be willing to explore it with me?"
"So what?" Gu Ce also laughed, "The ones who can decide the ownership of this treasure are the Lord of Qilan of your Northern Frontier Alliance and the Lord of Youhou of my human race. We two don't have the ability to compete for it."
"That's true." The Lord of Hundred Bamboo nodded slightly.
Those two third-tier universe masters are the main force in the competition for Tian Liufan; at most, they'll just be his assistants.
If Gu Ce hadn't appeared, the Northern Frontier Alliance would have had a better chance of winning. But now it seems that Gu Ce can hold off the Lord of Hundred Bamboo without much trouble. So it all depends on whether the Lord of Qilan can suppress the Lord of Youhou.
"How about we go up together?" Gu Ce invited again.
If the Lord of the Hundred Bamboos disagrees, then we have no choice but to take action here.
Gu Ce thought to himself.
"Well... alright." The Lord of Hundred Bamboo finally relented and agreed to enter the second level of the temple with Gu Ce.
"Let's go," said the Lord of Hundred Bamboo in a gentlemanly manner.
The passage leading to the second floor is a golden staircase with a hundred steps.
The staircase is about 100 kilometers wide, and each step is 1 kilometer high. There is no danger at the top. Gu Ce shrunk his divine body to one ten-thousandth of its original size before he stepped onto the staircase.
The Lord of Hundred Bamboo glanced at Gu Ce a few more times. He had previously thought that Gu Ce had deliberately enlarged his divine body, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Can a human being possess a divine body that is 90,000 kilometers tall?
Did he achieve perfect genes?
The Lord of Hundred Bamboo was very puzzled, but after thinking about it, he realized that what appeared here might not be Gu Ce himself, but rather that special life form's clone, and he understood.
Judging from the scene when Gu Cexing's clone appeared in the Flowing Sea, 90,000 kilometers was already the maximum size. Now that it has shrunk to 9 kilometers, its combat power will be reduced significantly.
However, the Lord of the Hundred Bamboos had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. Who knew if Gu Ce was just putting on an act for him?
For the two of them, climbing a hundred steps was just a blink of an eye.
Soon, the two entered the second level of the temple!
"roar!"
As soon as they stepped onto the second floor of the temple, a monster attacked them.
The monster had four hooves, was shaped like a horse, and was covered with golden, sand-like scales. Three tails swung behind its rear, and its head was covered with thick hair. It looked fierce and majestic, with two horns on its head. It was about 90,000 kilometers tall and more than 100,000 kilometers long. Its four hooves were emerald green, as if they contained deadly poison.
This monster possesses an imposing aura, and its strength is likely no less than that of an ordinary cosmic overlord.
The hall on the second floor of the temple is hundreds of millions of kilometers wide and high, as if it were being prepared for something.
"This is a ferocious beast without intelligence, called the Golden-Scaled Jade-Clawed Beast, or simply the Golden-Scaled Beast," explained the Lord of Hundred Bamboo. "After we defeat this beast, we will have a period of rest until the next beast appears. Each time a beast appears, the number of Golden-Scaled Beasts will double. We don't know what conditions will be met to leave this place, or whether there will be any way to reach Tian Liufan's location."
This isn't a secret. After Gu Ce kills the beast, he'll see the rules on the wall. Since we're already here, there's no point in hiding anything.
With a casual sword strike, Gu Ce instantly killed the still-roaring golden-scaled beast. He then restored his divine body, which was over 90,000 kilometers tall, and arrived at the wall of the hall.
There were many characters carved on the wall. Although I couldn't understand them, I could understand their meaning through the spiritual imprints on them. They were similar to what the Lord of a Hundred Bamboo had said.
Could there be a real and a fake one among the three halls on the first floor of the temple?
Gu Ce was pondering this question.
The Lord of Hundred Bamboo looked at Gu Ce in astonishment, his eyes filled with even greater vigilance.
Killing that golden-scaled beast wouldn't be difficult for the Lord of Hundred Bamboo, but it would be far more easy than what Gu Ce did!
Gu Ce killed the golden-scaled beast as easily as he crushed an ant.
"roar!"
"roar!"
The rest period is about one day.
For Gu Ce, a day is quite short.
This time, two golden-scaled beasts appeared.
Gu Ce looked at the Lord of Hundred Bamboo, who took a deep breath, knowing that if he didn't want to fall out with Gu Ce right now, he would have to put in the effort.
"One against one!" the Lord of Hundred Bamboo shouted, and at the same time a bamboo weapon resembling a cane appeared in his hand, which seemed to be a high-level melee treasure.
Gu Ce nodded and made his move instantly!
The two golden-scaled beasts were instantly killed when faced with the simultaneous attacks of two universe lords.
The divine power wasn't even used up much!
The two golden-scaled beasts were easily dealt with.
"Next time, four golden-scaled beasts will appear," the Lord of Hundred Bamboo solemnly said to Gu Ce.
"If there are too many of them, even a cosmic overlord could overwhelm a cosmic lord!"
