Chapter 3171 So Many Divine Cores

Within the gloom of the Abyss of Darkness, Austin fumbled every step forward.

After a moment of glancing around the darkness, he saw that a bright light began to shine and the mist slowly rose. A peaceful scene as far as the eye could see welcomed him.

Even though the map provided by the eight supreme leaders was incomplete, Austin still engraved it deeply into his Soul Sea.

Every once in a while he'd consult the map and successfully managed to avoid some of the recorded dangerous areas.

Although Austin was proficient in the Earth Exploring Technique, some areas were still extremely dangerous even for him. Some of the places within the Abyss of Darkness made him tremble in fear at the very sight of them and he didn't dare to approach any closer.

One of the areas was surrounded by nine green mountains and incredibly dense fog. All the spiritual birds and beasts there were full of vitality.

After only a moment of studying the place, Austin realized that it was a legendary forbidden area.

Based on what he remembered of the place, it was one of the most horrible and dangerous places in the world.

If it weren't for the notes on the eight supreme leaders' incomplete map, Austin might have already entered it.

However, some dangerous areas weren't marked on the map.

Just a day later, Austin found himself deep inside a terrible place before he realized it.

Dozens of black mountains stood side by side and cast an ominous shadow.

A huge lake served as the center of the black mountains and had water as dark as the mountains' shadow.

It was dark and lifeless. A foreboding feeling climbed up people's spines just by looking into the water.

Plop!

Small ripples surged from the dark water of the lake from time to time as unknown creatures swam within the depths.

A huge black lake was surrounded by dozens of black mountains.

It wouldn't take a genius to realize that it must be a terrible place.

Despite realizing that he was in a bad place, he had no idea how he actually entered the place.

Just a moment ago, he was in a fairyland with beautiful mountains, gurgling rivers, and light mist floating in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the scene completely changed.

No matter

shock, Austin's eyes were caught by the dazzling fist-sized crystals floating on the surface of the lake. Each one of the crystals was surrounded by rich laws.

Dozens of them glinted above the lake's dark waters.

'Are those divine cores?'

Austin took a deep breath to calm his shocked heart.

Those crystals floating above the lake were similar to the divine cores the little boy mentioned to him.

If what the little boy said was true, then these crystals should be divine cores.

"There're like twenty, no, thirty divine cores!"

Austin slowly counted in complete disbelief.

Divine cores were the condensation of all the energy and laws in a divine god's life and represented the most original essence of the divine god.

If anyone, especially a divine god, was on the edge of death, they could start a new life as long as they absorbed a divine core.

Every divine core represented a chance for revival.

"If I get those divine cores, I'll make a huge fortune!"

Every breath Austin took became heavier and heavier as his eyes remained entranced by the dazzling light of the divine cores.

Even divine gods could only dream of getting that kind of treasure!

However, his already excited heart thumped even faster against his ribs when his gaze landed on the powerful dragon's corpse again.

From the dragon's force alone, he already wanted to crawl onto his knees and beg for mercy. There was no doubt that once they began to fight, he'd be instantly killed.
