In an instant, the tens of millions of punches thrown transformed into a lightning energy ball and heavily struck the right head of the three-headed dog.
The eyes of the other two heads, which were crying out in pain, instantly filled with terror, but everything happened too fast. They could only watch as their good brother, with whom they had spent tens of thousands of years, was blasted apart.
"Bang!"
Blood and bones scattered, and even Shi Nuo and Ming Xin, who had never seen this move before, were stunned on the spot.
Even with their eyesight, they couldn't tell how many punches Lin Beiya had thrown in just one second.
"What are you standing around for? There are still two left!"
"Ah…"
Startled awake by Lin Beiya's voice, the two immediately launched an attack on the three-headed dog's other two heads, which were filled with sorrow.
"Full Concentration · Horn Fist."
"Lightning Fire Strike."
Shi Nuo directly blasted a large hole in the central head, which quickly went to meet its brothers, but Ming Xin's cultivation was still insufficient. Although she could cause damage to the Spirit Beast, it wasn't fatal.
Seeing this, Shi Nuo immediately redirected his punch to finish it off, and the first battle for the three brothers in the canyon ended in a complete victory.
"Beiya, this Death Canyon really lives up to its name. We just got in and already encountered such a powerful Spirit Beast."
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, why would I call you two to train here?"
"Of course, if you feel it's too dangerous, you can leave first."
As soon as he said this, Shi Nuo and Ming Xin's heads immediately shook like rattles.
"No, no, no, we'll continue forward."
"That's right, Big Brother Beiya, we're not leaving."
Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Beiya inspected the three-headed dog's corpse but found no Spirit Bone. The three continued deeper into the canyon.
The further he went, the more Lin Beiya noticed the increasingly intense anomaly in his Spirit, which meant he was getting closer to what he wanted.
Along the way, the path for the three brothers was incredibly difficult.
Although the number of Spirit Beasts in Death Canyon was not large, their quality was extremely impressive.
The weakest they encountered was a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, and the strongest was an 80,000-year-old Steel-backed Demonic Bear. Fortunately, this fellow seemed to have eaten its fill and was napping, so the three took a detour, avoiding a bitter battle.
Two days later, the three brothers had delved deep into the canyon.
What surprised them was that the number of Spirit Beasts here had not increased; instead, they were rarely seen.
The few that were present were only flying Spirit Beasts, and they also seemed afraid to venture further in.
"Beiya, there's something strange up ahead."
"Hmm, the Spirit Beasts seem reluctant to approach here."
Lin Beiya understood Shi Nuo's concern, but his Spirit guided him to continue straight ahead, so he was temporarily in a dilemma.
Going forward might lead to dangers he couldn't handle, but he wouldn't be content to return empty-handed.
Finally, he thought of a compromise.
"Shi Tou, you and Ming Xin wait for me here. I'll go the rest of the way alone."
"This… Big Brother Beiya, let's go together."
"That way, we can look out for each other if there's danger."
Seeing Lin Beiya wanting to face danger alone again, Ming Xin felt anxious and wanted to go with him.
But she was stopped by Shi Nuo, who was beside her.
"Beiya, then you go. We'll wait for you here."
"Alright, whether I find what I'm looking for or not, I'll return as soon as possible."
"Okay, be careful."
Watching Lin Beiya continue deeper, Ming Xin looked at Shi Nuo with some confusion.
"Big Brother Shi Nuo, why did we…"
Shi Nuo shook his head, interrupting Ming Xin's next words.
"Beiya has many tricks up his sleeve. Even if he encounters danger he can't handle, he can still escape."
"But if we're with him, it might be different."
As if recalling the scene many years ago on the streets of Spirit City where Lin Beiya covered his retreat, a hint of powerlessness appeared on Shi Nuo's face.
So many years had passed, yet in high-level situations, he still seemed unable to fight alongside Lin Beiya. Not dragging him down was already the best he could do.
"Okay… okay."
Ming Xin's face showed obvious disappointment. There was nothing she could do; Lin Beiya's strength indeed far surpassed theirs… On the other side, Lin Beiya, who was advancing alone, felt the mental force pressure around him growing stronger and stronger. This further confirmed that his decision to leave Shi Tou and Ming Xin behind was correct.
The environment here indicated that he might encounter dangers he would have to handle with caution.
He looked at the statue of the goddess of war in his right hand; it was now emitting a milky white glow.
This was something that had never happened before.
The surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer, and visibility became lower and lower. In the end, Lin Beiya could only close his eyes and move forward by relying on his senses.
But even with his Cosmo, which had awakened the Seventh Sense, he was suppressed to only being able to perceive situations within a five-meter radius around him.
This kind of environment made it easy for people to lose their sense of time and space.
In the end, Lin Beiya couldn't tell his direction, nor how much time had passed.
Just as he began to weigh the pros and cons, wondering whether he should continue forward, a faint speck of light seemed to appear in the darkness ahead.
After a moment of thought, Lin Beiya decided to go investigate. At the same time, Corpse Qi already surrounded his fingertips. If anything felt wrong, he would immediately open a Netherworld portal and go to Yomi Hirasaka.
The speck of light in front of him grew larger as Lin Beiya approached, until everything around him became clearly visible.
It was completely different from the gloom inside the canyon and the Chaos of the path he had just taken.
This place was filled with the aura of light.
Scanning his surroundings, Lin Beiya could see some architectural ruins here.
It was these architectural ruins that caused a massive surge in Lin Beiya's heart.
Because some of these buildings still retained a degree of completeness, and their style was extremely similar to ancient Greek architecture.
One must know that Lin Beiya's Spirit was greatly related to Athena.
This further convinced him that what he needed existed here, which was why his Spirit had guided him to this place.
The area here was not too large, only about the size of a football field.
Soon, Lin Beiya had searched the entire area, but apart from some broken stone statues and weapons that had long since weathered away, Lin Beiya found nothing else.
However, the statue of the goddess of war in his hand, constantly glowing, reminded him that something very important to him existed here.
This couldn't help but make Lin Beiya feel suspicious.
"Strange, logically, with such a strong sensation, the item should be very easy to find."
"Could it be buried underground?"
His senses were severely suppressed; his mental force could only penetrate about three meters underground, making it impossible to search for mysterious objects buried deep below.
This made Lin Beiya feel troubled. Was he supposed to dig pits like a carpet search here?
Even if he was willing to do so, he didn't know how deep he would need to dig to find what he needed.
He also didn't know how much time it had taken to get here, but Lin Beiya's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Coming to the center of the architectural complex, Lin Beiya found a relatively clean spot, intending to replenish some food and fresh water before making further plans.
He approached a round stone with a slightly curved bottom, patted off the dust, and then sat down.
He took out some food and fresh water and began to eat a simple meal.
Feeling the stone beneath him sway from side to side due to uneven pressure, it felt somewhat like sitting in a rocking chair.
After eating a piece of bread, a Conan-style lightning bolt flashed across Lin Beiya's temple. He suddenly felt that something was wrong!
