Damn it! The exit was locked out!

Swiftly turning his head towards the direction of the roar, Duan Li could make out a gigantic silhouette emerging from the shadows at the very corner of the chamber.

"Where does that big cave come from? When I had taken a look just now, there was no such thing?!" Duan Li spoke out with apprehension.

"I believe this should be... spatial manipulation!" said the sword.

When it scanned the entire chamber with its will, the sword found out that his will had rebounced off the walls! This could only mean that the whole chamber was being encompassed within a runic formation right now, and the fact that the entrance from whence they came before had disappeared so suddenly, that another entrance reappeared instead, could only mean one thing -- this runic formation was imbued with the power of spatial manipulation!

ROOAARR!!!

Duan Li squinted his eyes to see at that emerging figure. When its whole body came out, he couldn't help but to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Gulp!

"That... That is one big, giant Komodo!"

The body of this Komodo was about 14 metres long from head to its tail, and its height was around 4 metres. Its skin was covered with thick black scales and a glowing hot red pattern in between them, making them look like a molten lava!

"That filthy creature is of the Komodo dragon ancestor species, molten Komodosaurus! Its scales are extremely thick and no normal weapon could damage its body! I, the great Duergar however, have the ability to slice this thing up into a shish-kebab!" said the sword with a little bit of haughtiness to his tone.

"Although you should be very careful young master. Not only does that filthy creature have a tough body, its speed isn't something to scoff at either! Thus, eventhough I might have the ability to injure it, let us just run away!" the sword continued with a monotone.

EH?

That next sentence that came from the sword had totally rooted Duan Li to the ground, almost making him stumble even!

At first, the sword had bragged out haughtily that it could injure the Komodo, yet after that, it suggest for them to run away instead!

How shameless!

"Run away? Why? Can't we just beat it since you said you could slice it up, eh little sword?" replied Duan Li somewhat teasingly.

"Ahh that! I'm talking about the ancient past! However right now, perhaps I could only make a few sparks flew off from its boulder like body! Although that thing were of the similar realm with the Earthly golem, its a few notches more stronger and deadlier!" told the sword as it conjured its spectral hand to point out at one of the smaller pedestal.

"Furthermore, I think that in this chamber, we are not meant to even beat that little Komodo! It's just impossible for us yet! Instead, if young master noticed, that thing that is heading over to us right now ever so casually, as if we are nothing but an ant to it, had rammed those small pedestals that stood in its path, yet none of them was destroyed and appeared intact without a single damage!" continued the sword.

Hearing this, Duan Li took a swift look behind the incoming Komodo and could affirm that what the sword had just said was indeed right! The stone pedestals just disappeared and reappeared if the Komodo was near it!

"This.. is it because of the spatial manipulation or something that you had just said?" queried Duan Li.

"En! that means that all we had to do was avoid it and settle the puzzle here!" replied the sword.

Settle the puzzle?

Duan Li once again made a swift assessment towards his surrounding and could make out around 81 small pedestals spread out randomly inside this chamber. On the ground below them, was branches of straight lines with some stopping abruptly at a dead end, while others were joining together!

This!

"Isn't this the depictions of the numerous meridian pathways and acupoints around the human body?" thought Duan Li.

Due to his photographic memory, as he focused his sight onto each of these peculiarities, he could straightly understood what their hidden meaning implied!

"Oh? Young master knew of what they are? Then this will be quite easy!" exclaimed the sword in surprise.

The young master was an incredible person indeed!

Nodding his head, Duan Li moved to the nearest stone pedestals to his right and touched upon the treasure box. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

"You have acquired the treasure box, do you want to leave now, or continue on? Warning, if you do not exit, you would have to solve the puzzle until the end to exit the Eternal maze!"

Eh? This voice...

"That's the voice of the Mirealithians! It has been so long since I've heard them, but only theirs sounded so mechanical to me! It seems that they have their own terms with the Grand Immortal, as it looks like they were the one whom have designed this puzzle. No wonder that so many of these rare treasure boxes from the world of Mirealith were put here!" exclaimed the sword as it came onto a realization.

"I wonder what is atop of that towering stone pedestal at the very end, for the Mirealithians to construct such complex mechanism to unlock it! Not to mention, under the pressure of that little lizard that is currently stalking at us right now from afar, no one would be able to take this challenge head on!" continued the sword.

To think that this maze was made to test the people at the Qi condensation realm, isn't this way too much?

Furthermore, the incoming Komodo had stopped in its tracks, observing the movements of Duan Li with its tongue slithering about creating that 'hisss' sound.

"It seems that, the Komodo was waiting for my decision. If I chose to continue on, it would definitely charged forward without any hesitation to try and stop me from completing the puzzle!" thought Duan Li.

Gulp!

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he made his decision.

"Little sword and little cub, are you guys ready?" he turned to ask them both as his adrenaline began to pump inside his body furiously.

"Well, I chose to follow young master until the end! Since it has come to this, then why not? I, Duergar, has never been afraid of anyone or anything since the time I was created, let alone for a mere contemptuous lizard! Bring it on young master!" replied the sword, its tone full of pride and dignity!

"Arrff! Arrfff!" the cub barked out, as if agreeing with the statement made by the sword.

Duan Li chuckled out as his face then slowly turned serious and solemn. He looked straight in the eyes of the Komodo up ahead.

"..."

There was a moment of silence between both parties.

Tap!

Duan Li lifted the book as he replied to the voice inside his head, "I will be continuing!"

Shiinggg!

The stone pedestal glowed bright blue as they flowed downwards onto the line, immediately connecting to the next pedestal, waiting for the treasure box above it to be lifted.

Seeing this, the Komodo's mouth seemed to be curling into a sneer!

ROAAARRR!!

The Komodo bolted forwards with its jaws wide opened, seeming intent to devour Duan Li whole.

In a single breath, the leap it performed had covered the whole distance between them and was just a few metres in front of Duan Li, when the latter performed the movement skill art.

'One Step To Reach!'

Whoosshh!

Duan Li abruptly vanished on the spot as the Komodo snapped onto an empty air.

Whooshhh!

Turning around, the Komodo saw Duan Li reappearing onto the next pedestal as the latter lifted off another treasure boxes.

Two lifted, 79 more to go!

ROAAARRRR!!

The Komodo was enraged by now, for the other party to not care one bit about its existence, courting Death!

It leaped forward even more furiously and this time, Duan Li didn't had the luxury of fixing his gaze onto the correct spot as he vanished and reappeared away from the correct stone pedestal.

Swiftly injecting his spiritual Qi into the runic inscription at the bottom of the treasure boxes, their lids both opened as two identical pills were formed.

Swallow!

Without wasting any more time, Duan Li swallowed both of the pills. Then, with a thought, he quickly willed for both of the treasure boxes to morph into two, long javelin spears!

Woongg!!

Righr at this moment, Duan Li could feel that he could control the movements of these two long javelin spears that was floating above him with a single thought!

"What spiritual Qi control!" commented the sword in astonishment.

Pshewww!

Pshewww!

Duan Li launched both of the long javelin spears onto the Komodo.

Peng! Peng!

Both of the spears ricochet off from its body as the Komodo grinned as if saying, "Foolish human, your insignificant toys wouldn't be able to scratch me!"

Feeling a little bit annoyed with the attitude of the Komodo, Duan Li willed for the sword to form in his right hand as he quickly executed a skill art.

'Nine Swordplays Thunder strike!'

Pshew!

A single stroke of Duan Li's sword had created a flash of thunder that quickly bolted off onto the body of the Komodo.

Pooff!

However, the same thing happened as that stroke of thunder were being repulsed off by the scales. The Komodo could feel a slight tingling sensation from that thunder strike, but that was all there is to it.

Seeming to mock at Duan Li, the Komodo rolled on the ground as if laughing at him, "HAHAHAHAHA!"

"This infidel creature! How dare it act so brazenly in front of--" just as the sword was about to let off some curse words onto the other party, Duan Li had quickly swung him around nine more times!

'Nine Swordplays Thunder Strike!'

Psheww!! Psheww!!

'Nine Fists Shattering Meteor!'

Bam!! Bam!! Bam!!

'Nine Palm Slapping Oceans!'

Pah! Pah! Pah!

With a single breath, Duan Li had deployed all three of the Nine Legends edition skill arts instantaneously. His right hand performing the sword arts while his left hand performed both of the fist and palm arts!

Padah! Pa!!

Padah! Pa!!

Caught off-guard, the Komodo that was rolling on the ground got slapped and thrown left and right as it was then blown-off into the distance like a dirty ragdoll.

Holy-moly!

The Young master was finally incensed!

You are definitely going to die for this little lizard!
