Chapter 535: Chapter 310: Beneath the Golden Tree, Young Hero Versus Valkyrie!
But she couldn’t feel happy at all.
Equally unhappy was the eldest brother.
Because at this moment, Duan Yun’s body was in mid-air, already in an inverted position.
He clasped his hands together, and flames flared up from his palms.
Could this be the legendary hand technique descending from the heavens!
"No!"
"No, please!"
The two siblings shouted simultaneously.
The Young Hero remained silent, only continuing to unleash his palm strikes.
Duan Yun descended from the sky, blazing with Heroic Fire, and launched a palm strike.
The center of his palm carried Thunderfire, forming a burning handprint shape that completely enveloped the siblings.
When the scorching palm fire penetrated their bodies and the violent palm force surged into their flesh, the siblings were in a state of sheer terror, bewilderment, and shock.
How could we possibly withstand such a palm strike!
Previously, the eldest brother thought that killing a Martial World expert to guard their secret was as easy as killing chickens or swatting mosquitoes.
But now, under this terrifying palm force, they felt no different than mosquitoes or chickens.
Because they were about to be roasted alive!
With a loud boom, even before landing, a massive handprint had formed on the ground, rocks tumbled, and the air rippled into circular waves.
Thud!
The siblings fell into the handprint, their body hair entirely burnt off.
Duan Yun retracted his heavenly hand technique, gracefully spinning to land outside the handprint.
Duan Yun watched, sighing: "Only one left."
The village head’s family of four, now three had been blasted into Abyss Hell for transformation by his Heroic Spirit, leaving only the second son in the village.
Thinking only one was left, Duan Yun felt much relieved.
He descended to a position above the previous staircase.
Duan Yun glanced at the siblings who had nearly been roasted by his Heroic Fire palm, then looked upwards.
What secret is there that makes the village head’s family guard it so fiercely?
The warmth of the Heroic Fire still lingered, but he could feel waves of coldness from above.
Suddenly, a few fragmented golden lights appeared at the end of the stairs.
Duan Yun reached out and caught a piece of a golden leaf.
The golden leaf, like gold, appeared once more.
In the night, these golden leaves emanated a mysterious aura.
Duan Yun continued upward.
To the naked eye, the mist here grew thicker.
Then, he saw a hole.
Or rather, a pit.
A Heavenly Pit.
Behind this Taoist temple, there was a very deep Heavenly Pit.
In the pit stood a giant tree.
Duan Yun had not seen this tree before because it was in the pit.
From here, the tree appeared twisted, like a giant burnt by fire, struggling in the flames, with its trunk and branches in a contorted stance.
The tree looked twisted from the burning, yet it grew lush with branches and leaves.
Tiny golden lights lit up on the tree.
That’s where the golden leaves resided.
Is this the legendary Golden Tree?
And what about the Valkyrie with the large bosom, could she be below too?
It’s said that the Valkyrie is hardly considered human, because even the historically top-ranked Grandmaster could not live through such ages.
If the Valkyrie truly still lived, could she have become demonic or sinister?
Watching this strange tree, Duan Yun’s mind, heated by slaughtering the family, slowly calmed down.
He began to slide down the slope of the deep pit.
Once sliding, the pit was deeper and larger than it appeared from outside.
Duan Yun reached the range of the tree’s shade.
Under the shade, it was not as dark.
Due to many leaves emanating mysterious golden light, it slightly illuminated the environment below.
Duan Yun slid for a while longer, finally reaching the bottom of the Heavenly Pit.
Here, the ground was filled with raised tree roots, tangled with many fallen leaves.
Duan Yun walked barefoot, feeling slippery wetness.
The fallen leaves on the ground had withered, only occasionally glowing with golden light.
However, there were many golden leaves on the tree.
This mysterious golden light was very much like the twilight glow, making Duan Yun at times feel like it was dusk rather than late night.
Duan Yun walked with an uneven pace, without making any significant discoveries for a while.
Because the bottom was too vast.
Suddenly, the treetop leaves above shone brightly golden, thus turning the surroundings into a sea of gold.
In this moment, Duan Yun completely felt an illusion of being in the twilight glow.
And he saw more things.
He saw individual people.
Strange people.
Or rather, corpses.
These corpses twined among the tree roots, both male and female, resembling the female corpse state in Taoyuan Village before, in a mummified state, where the skin and flesh hadn’t completely decayed, allowing a glimpse of their appearance in life.
The bizarre part is, these male and female corpses share similar facial features.
Like a family.
These similar corpses, at a glance, no fewer than twenty or thirty, stand among these roots, looking very terrifying.
Duan Yun couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
He always felt that he was close to this secret.
Because at this time, the golden leaves emitting golden light from the Golden Tree were increasing, thus the Heavenly Pit surroundings were also illuminated.
Around this Heavenly Pit were buildings reminiscent of Taoist temples and palaces, only they entangled with roots and branches, and under the light of these golden leaves, seemed as if cast in gold.
Golden Tree, Golden Palace.
Are those shadows under the tree these closely resembling corpses?
Duan Yun walked along these corpses.
There, leading to the depths of this twisted, mysterious Golden Tree.
The farther he walked, the more golden leaves fell, accumulating higher.
And here, even the fallen leaves had quite a few emitting golden light.
So at a glance, the ground seemed covered with gold.
And just then, Duan Yun stopped in his tracks.
Because he saw at the end of these golden fallen leaves, an altar-like object.
The altar clung to the trunk, and in the altar, a tall woman leaned there, seemingly asleep.
This woman wore a half golden mask on her face, and her right arm was missing.
Just seeing her appearance, Duan Yun felt an exceptionally intense pressure.
Valkyrie?
Is the legendary Valkyrie real?
The key is, at a glance, this woman stood over two meters tall, with fierce prowess.
Was Qing’s idle writing speculation true?
Just like those corpses among the tree roots, this woman appeared to be a corpse too, without any sign of life.
The Valkyrie also seems dead, so she wouldn’t wander in this golden palace.
Duan Yun thought this way, but in a blink, the hair on his whole body stood up.
Because at this moment, the forever "sleeping" Valkyrie suddenly opened her eyes.
Her pupils were also golden, appearing like a deity or demon.
In the instant of both eyes meeting, even the extraordinarily skilled Old Demon Duan felt threatened.
After that, the Valkyrie stood up.
Rising from the altar.
Her body over two meters tall, golden pupils, mysterious half-face mask, far surpassing G’s bust, with golden leaves reflecting, forming a bizarre and splendid tableau.
The Valkyrie was alive.
Or as the legend says, she had never died, wandering in the Golden Palace.
Suddenly, Duan Yun raised his elbow and struck.
Because at this moment, the Valkyrie originally five zhang away suddenly appeared in front of him, using the one arm to smash toward him.
Five zhang distance, originally not short, but for the towering Valkyrie, merely two steps away.
In Duan Yun’s perception, she seemed to have suddenly arrived before him.
This strike seemed without any trickery, looking extremely simple, yet very efficient and abrupt, about to hit Duan Yun.
But Duan Yun’s reaction speed wasn’t slow either, Death Qi Breaking Body Sword Energy burst outwards, clashing with the Valkyrie’s left hand.
With a boom, the roots and fallen leaves on the ground shattered.
Both parties each retreated three steps, standing firm.
The Valkyrie looked at Duan Yun with golden pupils, revealing slightly puzzled expressions in her eyes.
She seemed puzzled, not having crushed this ant with a single blow.
The next moment, she turned back, went to the altar.
Only hearing a crack, a golden arm connected at her broken limb, thus she appeared even more heroic and extraordinary.
The Valkyrie’s golden arm.
Just saw the golden arm’s five fingers twisted slightly, appearing more flexible than a living person’s hand.
Duan Yun saw this scene, his expression also turned serious.
This could be a very troublesome adversary.
Little Yu, Qing, come out!
Almost simultaneously, two Dharma Images emerged behind Duan Yun, like a pair of black and white wings.
For a moment, viewed from high above, one was towering with golden pupils and an exceptionally flexible golden arm, the other with black Sword Qi flowing, two Dharma Images like wings behind him, both like deities and demons!
