Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1173 Two Beast Statues

Rocky and the women accompanying him walked along the gloomy passage. At first, theirsurroundings were quite peaceful, but after about thirty minutes of walking, they immediately feltthat the temperature suddenly dropped as if they were in a deep cellar underground. Even thoughthey were protected by the spiritual energy, the chilling air still permeated in their skin.

"What is with this place? It feels so horrifying,” Lena said with a frown as her body started shivering.Then, suddenly, a burst of ghostly cries came from the depths of the passage.

Rocky and the women couldn't help but look at each other, surprised at what they just heard.However, they just kept walking until they arrived at the end of the passage. They stopped in theirtracks and were shocked as they looked around.

What welcomed them was a spacious and strange room without a definite purpose. On the otherend of the room, they saw that there was a road leading towards the depths of the forbidden area.However, they soon noticed that more than ten misty white souls, like shadowy fogs, wanderedaround and occupied the room. They perceived that these souls emitted strong auras that were atleast equivalent to the masters at the Supernal Stage. Furthermore, they also possessed a viciousaura of hostility, making them unable to move freely. Then, they realized that these souls must theghosts of the Butterfly Divine Clan that Kayla had mentioned before.

As a result, they stopped at the entrance of the room and didn't dare to move forward.

"What should we do now?" All the women looked at Rocky and waited for his decision.

"It looks dangerous. You have to wait here first while I go and take a look. Once everything is clear,you can follow me," Rocky said after thinking for a while. He then pulled out the Frozen WindDagger and rushed inside the room.

However, the moment Rocky stepped into the room, the souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan seemedto be infuriated by the presence of a stranger. They immediately let out sharp cries and dashedtowards him. Their faces were like demons that would haunt every living soul. They swarmedtowards Rocky as if they were going to devour him whole.

As he saw the fast-approaching ghosts, Rocky immediately waved the Frozen Wind Dagger andslashed several Moon Blades to resist them. However, to his surprise, the Moon Blades just passedright through them and didn't seem to take any damage at all. He clearly saw that the souls werestill rushing towards him at an incredible speed

Rocky was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that the Moon Blades would be renderedineffective against them. With his quick-thinking, he decided to use the Hexagonal Netting DragonRing and spread out the light barrier around him. However, the ferocious ghosts still ignored andjust passed through the light barrier that he had set up.

"Basil, watch out!" the women couldn't help calling out to Rocky as they saw that he was beingchased down by more than ten of the fiendish-looking souls.

There was a frown on Rocky's face, as he was disappointed that even the light barrier didn't hinderthem. Fortunately, his reflexes and movement skills were at a high level.

Just as the souls were able to make contact with his body, Rocky instantly disappeared from wherehe was standing and was able to return to the room's entrance, where the women were, in the blinkof an eye.

As the women saw that Rocky was able to come back to their side, they breathed a deep sigh ofrelief.

"This is tough. The souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan are so difficult to deal with! We won't be able tomove forward like this,” Rocky said in frustration, clenching his fists.

"It seems that it's useless to break in by force. It will be more problematic if we are possessed bythem," Lena remarked as she analyzed the situation.

"You're right. It seems like we can't do anything to guard against them. So what are we going to doto pass through the room?" Sabina grumbled as she put her hands on her waist.

"I think I know a way. I can use the Dragon Master Clan's secret skill to suppress these souls. But Iwill need to remain here in order to perform it. You guys go ahead while I prevent them fromrushing towards you," Lena finally said after hesitating for a while.

Rocky and the other women immediately showed expressions of disapproval on their faces themoment they heard Lena's suggestion.

"What? No! We can't leave you alone. That's too dangerous!" Isis strongly objected. After all, Lenawas the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. If anything bad happened to her, it would be a great lossto the empire.

"I will be okay. I can suppress them for a few hours with my strength. I should be fine within thattime. Remember our purpose for coming here. We need to assist Basil in acquiring the spiritualtreasure. While I stay here restraining them, that should give you enough time to fulfill the mission,"Lena insisted.

"How about I accompany Lena? After all, I won't be much of a help. The rest of you can go withRocky and continue searching for the spiritual treasure,” Sue suggested in order to come up with acompromise.

"Basil, what do you think?" Isis asked while all of the other women also looked at Rocky.

"Why are you hesitating? Don't worry about me,” Lena urged Rocky to agree already.

Rocky fell silent for a while, looking at Lena anxiously. However, he also knew that what she said wasright. Right now, it was their top priority to obtain the spiritual treasure. Otherwise, all their effortsof coming to this place would be all for naught. Thus, left with no choice, he nodded and agreed.Soon after, Lena stepped into the room. As soon as she entered, the souls of the Butterfly DivineClan gave the same response as before. They immediately rushed and attempted to pounce on her.At the same time, a golden light suddenly shone from within Lena's body, and an extremely strongspiritual power was instantly drawn, enveloping the entire room

"Secret skill of the Dragon Master Clan—the Dragon Soul Suppressing!" Lena's hands crossed infront of her chest. In a flash, the golden light that spread throughout the room instantly turned intogolden dragon shadows, binding the incoming souls in place and rendering them motionless.

"It's done. Go now," Lena instructed Rocky and the others as she sat in the middle of the room withher legs crossed.

Immediately, Rocky and the rest passed through the room and reached the other end. Sue stayed inthe room and guarded Lena as she suppressed all the souls.

Then, Rocky and the others continued to move forward until they entered an aisle that seemed likea long corridor. They still encountered some souls of the Butterfly Divine Clan, but they didn't movein clusters and weren't aggressive, like the ones they faced earlier.

After they walked for a few hundred meters, two beast statues made of copper suddenly appearedin front of them. They were several meters high and looked rather atrocious. Most of the aisle wasblocked, leaving only a gap wide enough for a single person to pass through.

However, just as when they were about to approach the statues of the two beasts, the wholecorridor began to tremble. The next moment, they noticed that the bodies and limbs of the beastsgradually moved as if they were coming to life.

Then, suddenly, the huge eyes of the beast statues opened and flashed a strong radiance. Theyopened their mouths and quickly spurted two beams of spiritual power with a diameter of dozensof centimeters, aimed directly at the group.

Immediately sensing the danger, they quickly dodged sideways, clinging onto the stone walls besidethem. The two beams swept past where they previously stood, leaving two deep charred marks onthe ground.

Right after hurling the beams of light, the beasts began to move. They dashed towards the group,like massive tanks that plowed the aisle. Since the beasts almost occupied the entire aisle, thebeams of light that constantly darted from their mouths made the situation even more dangerous.They didn't have much space to get away from the beasts’ attacks.

Fully aware of their situation, Sabina suddenly activated her ice shadow and rushed directly to thetwo beast statues. As soon as the icy light rose, she immediately shouted, "Freeze!" Instantly, twostreams of icy spiritual power emerged from her arms and shot towards the beast statues at anincredible speed.

Upon contact with the beast statues, the icy spiritual power instantly covered and froze them,sealing their movements.

Rocky and the others were relieved to see that the two ferocious beasts finally stopped moving.However, at that moment, they saw that the ice enveloping the beast statues was starting to breakand collapse. Soon after, the beast statues broke through, and they suddenly launched their fierceattacks again.
