Chapter 633 – The Mist That Corrodes Statues

Qin Yu finally confirmed that this astonishingly large divine palace had an almost incalculable number of statues. Perhaps because he had killed one, once these statues discovered his aura they would begin to awaken from their dormancy.

In order to avoid being chased down by them, Qin Yu constantly changed directions in the fog. Even if a place was relatively safe he could only stay there temporarily. While he could also absorb the stone beads while he was moving, the efficiency was drastically reduced. This left Qin Yu in a considerably poor mood.

A palace square appeared in front of him. Qin Yu tore open the fog and entered, but as soon as he did his complexion darkened. This was because near the square, there was a statue standing there with a heavy sword.

Besides the first time, Qin Yu hadn’t truly fought with any statues. But, this didn’t prevent him from coming up with a judgment of the standard strengths of them. Except for unknown exceptions, the larger the statue, the stronger they were.

The size of this statue in front of him was in the top three ranks of all the ones he had seen before. His feet moved and he was about to retreat, but at this time his eyebrows suddenly furrowed together…it was strange, but this statue didn’t give off any threatening feeling at all, as if it was something truly dead.

His thoughts stirring, Qin Yu came to a stop. When he didn’t sense anything wrong, he slowly approached the statue.

As he thought, the statue didn’t react to him at all. After glancing over it, he found the difference – the surface of the statue was covered in corrosive marks, as if it had experienced a baptism of acid.

Qin Yu’s eyes began to shine. Right now, he was being chased by the statues and he was slowly running out of places to flee to. If there existed some strength here that could destroy these statues then he would have found a safe area. Of course, the key point was that he needed to confirm this to determine whether or not his guess was right.

Qin Yu’s figure flickered and he rapidly raced around the edge of the square. Soon, a second object came into sight. It was a statue similar to the first and its surface was covered with corrosion marks.

He continued forward. Once Qin Yu made a loop around the square and returned to the beginning, he had discovered eight large statues surrounding the square. Without exception, all of them had been severely corroded and they had lost their strength, becoming true blocks of stone.

His lips curved up in a smile. He had now confirmed his previous guess. What he needed to do now was to fight the source of this strength that corroded the statues.

Qin Yu’s final goal was to unravel the secrets of this towering divine palace. If he could find and grasp onto that strength that corroded these statues, it would undoubtedly be helpful to him.

He looked up around at the boundless fog all around him. This place was no different from anywhere else. These statues had stood here for unknown years before becoming as corroded as they were now. If he wanted to find the source of this strength, it wouldn’t be easy at all.

As Qin Yu was lost about what to do, he suddenly frowned. He turned and looked outside the square. The fog tumbled and stirred. Soon, walking corpses emerged. When they sensed Qin Yu they revealed expressions of awe.

But what was different was that these walking corpses didn’t leave like before. They simply avoided Qin Yu and continued to flow into the square.

There was something wrong!

Qin Yu immediately followed after them. In order to avoid scaring these corpses off he maintained a certain distance as he kept behind them.
