Chapter 2901: Temple Beneath the Lake

Chapter 2901: Chapter 2901: Temple Beneath the Lake

"Huh? What is that?"

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense diffused, discovering an enormous temple at the bottom of the lake.

The temple was awe-inspiring, emanating a sharp aura of chaos that was somewhat similar to the Pangu Axe in Fang Bai’s hand.

Suddenly, the Pangu Axe seemed to sense something and began to tremble, making it difficult for Fang Bai to hold.

A thought struck Fang Bai, and he released his grip, allowing the Pangu Axe to break through the water, whistling as it flew into the temple.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense diffused, trying to trace the Pangu Axe’s path, but he found that as it reached the temple, an invisible force seemed to block him, preventing further progress.

Fang Bai was secretly astonished, realizing there must be something extraordinary within the temple, and he approached cautiously, increasing his vigilance.

Sounds of water resounded behind him as two Golden Dragons and four Divine Emperors pursued him.

Turning his head to take a look, Fang Bai knew that both the two Golden Dragons and the four Divine Emperors wanted to reclaim the Golden Fish, and he was no match for them, so he hastened toward the temple, hoping to divert their attention to the temple at the lake’s bottom.

When he was about a hundred zhang away from the temple, he felt as if his body were bound, making it difficult to take a step.

The two Golden Dragons seemed wary of the temple at the lake’s bottom, not daring to approach too closely. They stopped a thousand zhang away, baring their claws and fangs, continuously roaring toward Fang Bai.

Unfortunately, the dragon roars were neutralized by the golden light emanating from the temple before they could reach several hundred zhang away from it, having no effect on Fang Bai.

The four Divine Emperors also attempted to approach the temple like Fang Bai, but once they entered within a thousand zhang of the temple, a surge of Supreme Divine Power from within repelled them, causing their organs to churn and almost injuring them.

Only then did they understand why those two domineering Golden Dragons dared not approach the temple within a thousand zhang, for they too feared an attack from the Divine Power within.

The attack from the temple served as a warning to them, so they could only watch Fang Bai anxiously without daring to make further attempts to approach.

Thus, two Golden Dragons, four Divine Emperors, and Fang Bai stood in a suspenseful standoff several hundred zhang apart.

Seeing that the two Golden Dragons and four Divine Emperors couldn’t attack him, Fang Bai let out a sigh of relief, feeling secretly pleased.

The temple behind him didn’t attack and allowed him to approach within several hundred zhang, providing him with protection in this sense.

However, why was there no news of his Pangu Axe after it entered the temple?

With this thought in mind, Fang Bai set his sights on the temple again.

He circulated the Divine Method, mobilizing the Chaos Divine Power in his Qi Sea, forming a protective shield around him, and then approached the temple once more.

Advancing another hundred zhang this time, he was again obstructed.

He summoned the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, using its intense Evil Qi to assault the Supreme Divine Power from within the temple that hindered him.

Once obstructed again, Fang Bai summoned the Houyi Bow, using its sharp and aggressive aura to continue advancing.

Afterward, the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron appeared above Fang Bai’s head...

With the support of the three Supreme Divine Artifacts, Fang Bai finally broke through the barrier, advancing to within only a few dozen zhang of the temple.

However, upon releasing his Divine Sense again, he still couldn’t perceive the temple’s interior.

A thousand zhang away, the two Golden Dragons and four Divine Emperors were astounded, watching Fang Bai gradually approach the temple with the help of three Divine Artifacts, yet the temple did not retaliate, which seemed incredible to them.

Moreover, they could sense that the three Divine Artifacts Fang Bai successively summoned were all unparalleled Divine Artifacts. If Fang Bai controlled those three Artifacts to battle with them, he would still have a major advantage, but overcoming them wouldn’t be a task that could be accomplished quickly.

At this moment, they truly viewed Fang Bai in a different light, no longer displaying their former arrogance.

What of a Half-Step Divine Emperor?

Just being able to control three Supreme Divine Artifacts simultaneously makes him a force beyond any of them.

They speculated that there must be great opportunities within the temple, yet as they watched Fang Bai get closer to the temple’s gates, they were anxious but helpless.

They didn’t understand why the temple didn’t reject Fang Bai as it did them, seeming instead to welcome his entrance.

They were unaware that Fang Bai was also at his wit’s end, incapable of taking any further step forward.

"It seems my strength is still too weak! If I could reach the Divine Emperor Realm, perhaps I could enter the temple to investigate!"

Fang Bai sighed, looking helpless.

However, he didn’t retreat; instead, he surrounded himself with the three Divine Artifacts, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating, utilizing the continuous surge of Supreme Divine Power from within the temple.

The two Golden Dragons hovered over two enormous underwater rocks a thousand zhang away, keeping a watchful eye on Fang Bai.

The four Divine Emperors each found a spot, maintaining a collaborative stance, both guarding against any potential attacks from the two Golden Dragons and monitoring Fang Bai.

Neither the two Golden Dragons nor the four Divine Emperors had given up on reclaiming the Golden Fish taken by Fang Bai.

The Golden Fish in this Golden Lake, continuously absorbing the Chaos Divine Power, were under the protection of the Golden Dragons. Should any grow up and achieve sentience, they might leap over the dragon gate appearing on the lake’s surface and transform into a dragon, becoming one of them.

Therefore, whoever attempted to take the Golden Fish was bound to face their full-on attack.

The four Divine Emperors had long coveted the Golden Fish, hoping to capture some and take them back for consumption, aiding their cultivation and helping them to break through to higher realms.

Fang Bai, of course, knew that neither the Golden Dragons nor the four Divine Emperors would let him go, so he decided to stay put with the temple’s protection, seeing who could outlast whom.

If he could successfully advance to the Divine Emperor Realm at the lake’s bottom, he would no longer fear the two Golden Dragons or four Divine Emperors, making his escape from the Golden Lake a simple feat.

With this thought, Fang Bai was in no hurry; he closed his eyes and cultivated calmly.

"Looks like that kid’s not planning to leave the lake’s bottom anytime soon!"

Seeing this, the four Divine Emperors followed Fang Bai’s lead, entering a cultivation state at the bottom of the lake.

After all, the Golden Lake’s water was rich in Divine Power, making cultivation there beneficial and harmless.

As for the two Golden Dragons, born in the Golden Lake, they had no qualms about staying at the lake’s bottom.

Thus, the bottom of the Golden Lake fell silent.

No one knew how much time passed, but as Fang Bai cultivated, he felt a warm sensation.

Though his eyes remained closed, he was aware of everything around him.

He realized that at some unknown point, a golden light emanated from the temple before him, enveloping him.
