"This place still has an energy?" Xiu'er was skeptical. Looking at how desolate this place was, he couldn't think where was the energy here in this place.
"The energy is minuscule, so it's expected that you couldn't sense it." Jin Rou shook his head, "Besides, there is a terrifying thing here that might be the cause of the sudden drain of this falls."
"..." This time, Xiu'er believed what Jin Rou said. He couldn't help but feel a creeping feeling crawling under his skin. However, he still asked, "What is that terrifying thing?"
"An existence, to be exact." Jin Rou said gravely, "Until now, it's sucking away this falls' energy, turning it into its food."
"…" Xiu'er unconsciously step backwards. Jin Rou had successfully scared him. Jin Rou was very strong, and to categorize an existence as terrifying meant that the hidden monster here was a threat.
And now, even after thousands of years, it was still alive and still eating the falls' nutrients.
"Don't worry, since I'm here, nothing is going to happen." Jin Rou reassured the scared child.
Jin Rou had this sole and real purpose of coming here and the reason of the child's awakening came second. When Jin Rou was still in the True Dragon Clan, the moment he heard stories about this place, he immediately activated his eyes by secret and expanded his vision to the east until he reached this.
And when Jin Rou closed his eyes a while ago to check for threats, it was to confirm that aside from that existence hiding, there were no external threats that he needed to take care of.
Hearing this assurance, the child calmed down a bit and nodded.
He knew what to do. And that was to stay away from Jin Rou in a safe distance, and at the same time, Jin Rou would be able to reach him in case for the worst case scenario.
Then, Jin Rou walked off towards the drained falls and activated all his senses. Though he knew that he was stronger than this existence, he couldn't be so confident and put all caution away.
"Show yourself." Jin Rou said coldly, "You know that it is useless hiding here. You show yourself or I'll help you."
"Haha. I am amazed that you can pry into my dimension I created that deep." Suddenly, a deep voice reverberated the entire place.
And soon, an old man appeared. He looked like a beggar with his tattered clothes. With a black and white hair on both half of his head. His beard was seemed to be trimmed in hurried pace. He would looklike a drunk old man in the pub if not for his beggar's attire.
"Oh?" The old man appeared surprised and said, "I can't see this friend's cultivation. It seems like you have attained a powerful realm. For your age, it's quite an amazing feat."
This old man didn't look like the terrifying existence that Jin Rou described. But Xiu'er could feel the massive power that was circulating inside the old man's body. He could feel it.
This old man was stronger than the Dragon Emperor. Several times stronger than him, at least.
"You have been eating this falls' nutrients for quite a while now. You must have starved yourself in the past to do this." Jin Rou coldly smiled.
"Indeed, Daoist Friend." The old man nodded and answered truthfully, "I suffered grave injuries during the battle a hundred thousand years ago, and had no choice but to flee in order to survive."
"Who could gravely injure a progenitor at the immortal level here in this world?" Jin Rou posed a question, but he answered it immediately, "Oh, probably a true god with 12 laws?"
"Your insights has surpassed the limitations, Daoist Friend." The old man smiled amicably and confirmed Jin Rou's deduction, "Indeed, I have been injured by a Twelve-law True God. But it's already has been within my expectations."
Xiu'er couldn't help but suck a mouthful of cold air hearing this conversation.
This old man was actually an Immortal Progenitor! Remember, progenitors at the immortal level could only be counted in one's fingers. Perhaps, only with one hand.
And to actually see a real progenitor at a immortal level here, it sounded surreal.
Unfortunately, though. This progenitor had took the wrong way.
"You have been devoured by darkness." Finally, Jin Rou didn't beat around the bush any longer and said, "And since that's the case, I can't let you off."
Jin Rou could clearly see how dark this progenitor's heart. And he knew that he would bring nothing but calamity if ever he were to be set free in the land. The progenitor was still accumulating resources to prepare for his comeback on stage, thus, the time right now was the best to back him off.
"Daoist Friend, I might be already part of the darkness, but I am still me." The old man calmly said.
"No matter what you say, you won't escape death. You are still part of the darkness and what will you do, will also be according to the darkness." Jin Rou retorted.
"Indeed, what you have said is true. But..." The old man wanted to say more, but he shook his head and said, "Daoist Friend, it seems that there is no choice but to fight. So be it, a fight it is."
Soon, the old man suddenly became enveloped with dark gaseous flames. He closed his eyes and opened it, releasing two rays of dark light that shot towards Jin Rou.
"Boom! Boom!" Jin Rou evaded it but the two lights exploded, blowing everything in its vicinity.
"Daoist Friend, please excuse my rudeness." The old man suddenly disappeared.
And after a few seconds, he appeared once again but in the sky. His eyes turned dark again and rays of dark lights shot towards Jin Rou with even a faster speed.
"Boom!" It exploded once again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The old man kept on sending barrages of rays of light towards Jin Rou, leaving him nothing but defense.
Jin Rou couldn't help but be surprised. Except for his grandma, this was the first time someone could make him defend himself in succession.
