If he didn't go now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
He risked his life to come to Ba Ling Sect, participate in the Ice Cave Grotto-heaven, join the Feng Fan Battle, and fought with all his might to win first place—wasn't it all to comprehend the Refining Saint Wall?
Sacred Artifacts are Magic Treasures that only Ninth Grade Refiners can refine.
Qian Duoduo is only a Fourth Grade Artifact Refiner now, so if there was a Sacred Artifact here, even just a glimpse would greatly inspire him.
"The Dao contends for supremacy!"
Suddenly, Tang Honggong's words echoed in Qian Duoduo's ears.
The words were old, but the truth was not!
Clutching the Entering Saint Key tightly, Qian Duoduo stepped into the desert.
The sand was soft, like the firm mud on the surface of a swamp, with countless Vicious Beasts lurking beneath.
Carefully moving his feet, Qian Duoduo walked several hundred feet into the desert, and the black mist around him was already rising like small snakes from the sand.
If not for his Purple Eyes, his heart would have been filled with murderous intent, and he would have lost his sanity.
Suddenly, eight powerful auras sped towards Qian Duoduo from beneath the desert.
These eight auras came from all directions, surrounding him in the middle, leaving him no escape.
Stomping his left foot heavily on the ground, Qian Duoduo accelerated forward.
"Boom!"
Two Mystic Sky Crocodiles burst out from beneath the sand, blocking Qian Duoduo from left and right.
Early Stage Jin Beasts! Each was a full ten feet long.
The Mystic Sky Crocodile on the left opened its massive mouth, its foot-long, snow-white teeth snapping towards Qian Duoduo's head.
His Purple Eyes flashed, looking at the Mystic Sky Crocodile's head.
A mass of black mist was coiled around the Mystic Sky Crocodile's head.
Upon being gazed at by the Purple Eyes, the black mist began to flee, and the Mystic Sky Crocodile lost control of its body, trembling involuntarily.
At this moment, the Entering Saint Key in Qian Duoduo's hand had reached its lower jaw, easily piercing through its skull.
The Mystic Sky Crocodile's body stiffened and fell to the ground, revealing the true form of a Soul-Seizing Blood Crossbow.
Qian Duoduo swung the Entering Saint Key with a backhand slash, striking the head of the Mystic Sky Crocodile on the right.
With a dull thud, the Mystic Sky Crocodile's skull caved in, and it roared in pain, swinging its massive tail.
The giant tail whipped up a hurricane, carrying sand and dirt, and fanned towards Qian Duoduo.
Instead of retreating, Qian Duoduo advanced, thrusting the Entering Saint Key into the Mystic Sky Crocodile's skull.
"Puff!"
Like a sharp blade cutting into fat, Qian Duoduo forcefully twisted the Entering Saint Key inside, instantly turning the Mystic Sky Crocodile's head into a pile of shattered bones.
The Mystic Sky Crocodile died, and its massive tail, halfway through its swing, stopped.
Qian Duoduo turned around to face the six Mystic Sky Crocodiles rushing from behind.
The four crocodile eyes of the two directly behind him met Qian Duoduo's gaze.
Qian Duoduo activated his Purple Eyes, seeing through the black mist within the heads of the two crocodiles.
As the black mist tried to escape, it was struck by the faint light emitted from the Purple Eyes, turning into a wisp of smoke that was expelled from the Mystic Sky Crocodile's body.
These two Mystic Sky Crocodiles landed on the sand, shook their heads, and regained consciousness.
The teeth of the four Mystic Sky Crocodiles to his left and right, like four pairs of scissors, snapped towards Qian Duoduo.
If they bit him to death, Qian Duoduo's body, condensed from Spiritual Awareness, would surely be shattered.
Qian Duoduo condensed a Soul Shield on his left, protecting his left side, and used the Entering Saint Key in his right hand as a weapon, stabbing towards the eye of the nearest Mystic Sky Crocodile.
The two massive crocodile heads on the left crashed into the Soul Shield, shattering it and sending Qian Duoduo flying sideways.
Early Stage Jin Beasts are equivalent to Early Stage Golden Core cultivators.
The Mystic Sky Crocodile closest to Qian Duoduo on the right had a small hole poked in its head by Qian Duoduo's Entering Saint Key.
The slightly farther one was biting Qian Duoduo's flying leg, but its tail was suddenly bitten by a Mystic Sky Crocodile that had regained consciousness from the front.
