Chapter 102 – Native Peoples of Sacred Island



Chaos was about three meter tall, he was a powerful beastman brimming with wildness. He had a pair of wolf ears, and a long tiger tail. And the person that was glancing around behind him was actually a fatty! His stature was not lofty at all, he was short and stout. People get the feeling that he was especially simple and honest, even when he was glancing around, he seemed a bit foolish and stupid.

This was too strange! Xiao Chen could indeed sense Chaos’ aura from his body, but why was the body a different person? Suddenly, he felt a nip in the air and quivered momentarily. Could it be that Chaos was already dead, and then resurrected with a different corpse? After all, he experienced too many strange and terrifying things during the ghost town’s calamity. He instinctively thought of something like this. In addition, there was also the bizarre fact regarding the snowy mountain’s old ghost, how could he not let his imagination run wild.

The simple-minded fatty circled around the sea of bones. After that, he actually crossed the sea of bones, and walked towards the Southernmost direction. Xiao Chen was not too familiar with the Southern part of the island, he had never explored that region before. However, he went after him this time, and decided to find out the origin of this little fatty that possessed Chaos’ aura.

When he was following the little fatty, Xiao Chen found that the Solitary Sword Demon and the mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist were also following closely. They didn’t even try to avoid him. When they crossed the sea of bones, and entered the mountain woods, Xiao Chen walked over to them, and said straightforwardly, “I suspect there is an evil spirit borrowing corpse to return from the grave. That’s why I came after him, what about the both of you?”

The Solitary Sword Demon sneered, “Heh, likewise! I could feel the aura from a certain beastman that left a little impression in me from his body. But that body doesn’t belong to that person.”

“I also chased after him for the same reason.” The mysterious woman answered like this.

Xiao Chen was finally convinced, his feeling was not wrong, something strange was going on here.

The silly little fatty was not as simple as his outer appearance dictated. He seemed to be very perceptive, he constantly changed his direction in the mountain woods for fear that someone was tailing him. This made Keke that was following at Xiao Chen’s side blink its glittering big eyes unceasingly, it seemed to find this very fascinating.

They kept going southward for about an hour or more, only then did the little fatty enter a wide mountain forest. He was no longer turning left and right, but Xiao Chen and the others were not worried at all, it seemed like they had already reached their destination. But just at this time, Keke jumped onto Xiao Chen’s shoulder. It extended one of its little paw to pull his long hair. After that, it kept glancing backward with its big eyes.

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat, he pretended to stop and probe around. Not long later, the snowy mountain’s old ghost entered his perceptive range, he could clearly “see” him following them.

This was definitely not good, Xiao Chen saw the Solitary Sword Demon and that mysterious woman in front, it seemed like they didn’t know the existence of this old ghost yet. Xiao Chen remained calm and collected, he continued to follow them. Not long later, they found a small village in the ancient forest. The surroundings were enclosed by ancient trees, it would be hard to find this village if they didn’t search thoroughly.

The small village only had about seventy to eighty household. They could hear the cries of chicken and barking dog. It was brimming with the scent of countryside. It made Xiao Chen felt as if it was a lifetime ago, there was actually a small mountain village brimming with livelihood on this kind of uncivilized dragon island, it was a bit unreal.

“Cough! Cough……!” A fit of coughing transmitted over, a specter-like old woman appeared behind Xiao Chen and the others. She sighed faintly and said, “Youngster, why are you guys following my grandson?”

Xiao Chen felt heavy-hearted, his foresight ability did allow him to detect the old woman in advance, but the other person was seriously too fast. He clearly saw a figure approaching them from the forest like a wisp of smoke.

The Solitary Sword Demon held his metal sword and retreated to the side, pulling some distance from the old woman. And all traces of that mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist were long gone, it seemed like her ability was really outstanding. She already concealed herself from the old woman in advance.

“We don’t have any evil intention, we only wanted to investigate something.” Xiao Chen was very calm. He looked at this crooked old woman with white hair before him.

“You want to investigate our village?” The old woman’s voice was somewhat cold.

“No.” Xiao Chen decided not to beat about the bush. It was not necessary to cover up the truth with some excuses, he said, “We felt the aura of an acquaintance from the body of the little fatty. We thought it was very strange, so we followed after him. We wanted to find out what is going on.”

“You felt the aura of an acquaintance, don’t tell me that so-called acquaintance was your friend?” Although the old woman was speaking quite gently, Xiao Chen’s prophet-like spiritual sense could feel a trace of danger.

“No, truth be told, he was my foe. Between me and him, only one of us would be able to keep on living.”

“Oh…” The old woman nodded her head. At the same time, Xiao Chen felt the danger faded away.

“How about you?” The old woman turned her head to look at the Solitary Sword Demon.

Although the Solitary Sword Demon was conceited, he also didn’t want to stir up trouble with a powerful enemy without clearly understanding the opponent’s strength. He used his index finger to point at Xiao Chen and said, “I am the same as him.”

“My intuition tells me you guys are not lying. Then this will be easy to deal with, I don’t mind telling you. That beastman known as Chaos was killed by me. I implanted two of the ancient beast souls from his body into my grandson.”

Xiao Chen and the Solitary Sword Demon what a little shocked, they had once heard some beastman had ancient beast soul sealed within their body. It was indeed possible to forcefully remove them and implant them in other people’s body.

“My grandson is also the descendant of a beastman. His body has an ancient beast soul. That Chaos didn’t know what’s good for him, he wanted to swallow up my grandson’s beast soul. As a result, he was captured alive by my grandson, I punished him like such after bringing him back to the village.”

Xiao Chen and the Solitary Sword Demon were speechless, Chaos was truly too unfortunate. He actually met this kind of fate.

“Let’s go, we rarely get any visitors, let’s go to the village and drink some tea. I know you guys surely have a lot to ask me.” The old woman walked forward as she said these.

“Granny, may I ask; Are you guys living on this dragon island all along?”

The old woman looked at Xiao Chen, her tangerine-like face revealed a smile, and said, “I knew you were going to ask this. Our ancestors were like you, they came from the mainland. As a result, they were trapped on the island, we are their descendants.”

Although he already thought of the possibility, Xiao Chen still couldn’t help but feel amazed. It seemed like he could see his own future already. Is he going to spend the rest of his life trapped on this island?

“Something’s amiss, the dragon island was unsealed not long ago, why didn’t you guys leave?” Xiao Chen thought of this question.

“How to leave? Living on this island for a long period of time, our physique will change. It was just like a curse, we cannot leave this island.” The old woman let out a breath as she speak.

“Don’t tell me there is no other way?”

“There is, if you guys can subdue nine Syndicate Dragon King, even if this island is already sealed, you will be able to safely depart from this island.”

“Is that true?” The Solitary Sword Demon who remained silent until now also couldn’t help but open his mouth to ask.

“The mixture of nine Dragon King’s blood can lift the curse of us later generations.” The old woman looks absent-minded, she was a little excited.

As they were talking, they entered the village. Although there were the sound of chicken cries and barking dogs, the figures of human was sparse. It appeared lacking of vitality, it felt a little lonely.

That silly little fatty walked over from a courtyard, and asked, “Grandma, they are……”

“You silly little boy, you were usually quick-witted, but today you didn’t even realize you were being tailed.”

“They were following me?!” The little fatty was somewhat vexed, then he appeared a little silly again. However, Xiao Chen didn’t look down on him. This little fatty might be those kind of people that act like a hog to eat the tiger. Otherwise it was impossible for him to get rid of Chaos.

The old woman brought Xiao Chen’s party into the courtyard. She prompted them to take a sit beside the stone table, then she made the little fatty prepare the tea. Only then did she begin to talk slowly with Xiao Chen’s party.

“The dragon island is sealed, even the sea area in the vicinity had also turned into the Taboo Ocean. Regardless of man or ship, everything that attempted to enter will be destroyed. But according to legend, there is a divine ship that can cross the Taboo Ocean.” The old woman gave Xiao Chen’s party a sliver of hope.

“What kind of ship?”

“It was a divine ship built from the Ancestral Dragon’s bone and Heavenly Tree. It was drifting in the middle of the Taboo Ocean all along. It already drifted for countless years. It can bring everyone on the island out of the Taboo Ocean.”

“How do we find this divine ship?” The Solitary Sword Demon asked.

The old woman took a sip of the tea, then she said unhurriedly, “Didn’t I say it before? You need nine Dragon King, they can work as one to summon the divine ship that drifted in the Taboo Ocean.”

“Then don’t you suppose we have a high chance of leaving here?!” The Solitary Sword Demon was very excited.

Then the old woman poured cold water, “The prerequisite is that you guys must first find nine Dragon Kings, and have them listen to what you said. You must make them agree to summon the divine ship for you.”

This was definitely an extremely difficult challenge. At that time, how many people wished to subdue the Amethyst Dragon King, and yet none were able to subdue it. Of course, if the Solitary Sword Demon knew Xiao Chen and his party had obtained two Dragon Kings, he definitely couldn’t resist his urge to throw up blood.

“Is there nothing else we can use as replacement?”

“There is, if you guys can find the legendary young Ancestral Dragon, it is also possible. One Ancestral Dragon can produce the same result as nine Dragon Kings.” The old woman said very calmly.

Chapter 101 – After a Mysterious Week



Xiao Chen decided to go probe around the vicinity of the ghost town, he must get to the bottom of this, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to feel at peace.

Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen didn’t plan to explore for ghost town for a short period of time. Their most important mission now was to nurture the young Dragon Kings. Only until the two young Syndicate Dragon Kings had enough power to protect themselves would they be willing to leave their side. They needed to seek for a place to train, the situation on the dragon island was very complicated at the moment, only strength represents everything.

After the calamity in the ghost town, as well as that massacre previously, several hundred practitioners on dragon island died. Now, there were merely a little over a hundred practitioners on the entire dragon island. Almost all of these people were lone wolves. If they also participated in the battle that day, and were forced into the ghost town, perhaps there would only be a few practitioners left on the dragon island now.

Xiao Chen originally wanted to go probe around the vicinity of the ghost town, but he found that area was still brimming with baleful aura, the bloody radiance was unpleasant to the eyes. He changed his mind in the end, that place was too dangerous at the moment, he decided to not take any risks temporarily.

When the few of them walked in the mountain woods, they were shocked to find that; The rain of blood did not fall on these region at all. It seemed like only the sea of bones and that deathly still forest were affected by that rarely seen rain of blood. The few of them heaved a sigh, that region was seriously too dangerous, and that night they massacred until that place by chance. It was indeed following the path to their own doom.

There were many beautiful landscapes on the dragon island, Xiao Chen and the gang found a spiritual mountain pretty quickly. The fine woods were flourishing, the wisteria were all over the place, it could even be said to be the intoxication of a beautiful spring day. The spiritual energy was dense, that was even a waterfall in between.

After experiencing the calamity in the ghost town, everyone felt delightful to see this kind of beautiful spiritual land, their body and mind loosened up.

There was a crystal clear lake in the bamboo forest. Xiao Chen was currently free-swimming in the middle of the lake. He washed off the dirty blood all over his body, it seemed like his spirit had also received a baptism. His mind was empty and calm, he unconsciously operated his secret technique, the entire water surface was rippling. Xiao Chen was shrouded by the drizzling mist.

Soon after, the lake water calmed down again. It seemed like he had become a part of the tiny lake, the surrounding fishes were no longer afraid of him; They were swimming beside him. Xiao Chen felt as if he had really merged with the heaven and earth, and became a part of nature. In the end, he submerged into the bottom of the lake, and sunk into a fantastic martial zone. His entire person already no longer require to breathe, endless spiritual energy entered his body from the skin, the impure energies were discharged by nature.

God knows how much time had passed, Xiao Chen finally opened his two eyes and rose from the bottom of the lake. After he surfaced, the golden rays of light spilled from the East. It allowed him to take a bath under the dazzling morning sun.

Lawrence who was jogging at the side of the lake was incomparably shocked and said, “Don’t tell me you were in the lake the entire night?”

“Oh? I guess that was the case, I also never thought I would actually lie dormant from yesterday evening until now.” Xiao Chen flung his dripping wet long hair, and walked towards the shore. The surface of his body was flickering with a crystal clear luster, it was like a layer of jade flower had been smeared on his body.

“It seemed like you had undergone a peculiar transformation.”

“I also felt as if some transformation had taken place.” But Xiao Chen was unable to pinpoint accurately what kind of changes had taken place. However, just at this time he said, “Yizhen is also coming over here.” After saying these, he blanked out for a moment, because he was unable to see Yizhen nor could he hear the voice, yet he was completely sense Yizhen getting close.

Sure enough, Yizhen walked over from a bamboo forest not far away, which confirmed the feeling he had a moment ago.

Lawrence was dumbstruck. Only until Yizhen appeared in his line of sight did he discover him. Practitioners on their level were nimble, they normally wouldn’t make any sound when walking. And Xiao Chen actually relied on his spiritual sense to find Yizhen approaching in advance. Although the distance was not too far, this kind of foresight with spiritual sense was still really miraculous.

“Our good captive is really so diligent, she is actually preparing breakfast for us. There are Mongolian gazelle’s leg, deer breast…… coconut juice……” Xiao Chen spelled it out one by one. Lawrence quickly rushed into the bamboo forest, and found that it was exactly as Xiao Chen had said; Under Rowena’s supervision, Yan Qing Cheng was preparing those breakfast.

In regards to Xiao Chen’s conspicuous spiritual sense, Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen were extremely shocked.

“Without your eyes nor your ears, how far can you perceive?” Lawrence asked.

“I guess roughly a hundred meter or more.”

“How terrifying, no one will be able to mount a sneak attack on you from hereafter.” Buddhist Yizhen was deeply moved as he said, “This seemed to be an ability that only surfaced when one reached the Historia realm.”

Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis were regarded as the five major realms for the practitioners. Once they entered the Historia realm, the practitioners would gain some bizarre divine ability. Xiao Chen’s ability to sense the surroundings without sight or sound could be considered as a kind of divine ability. ⌈1

Xiao Chen just made a breakthrough to Exuvia Seventh Celestial Layer not long ago, there were still some distance from the Historia realm. And yet a divine ability had already emerged, this was definitely a rare event.

“Time to eat……” The extraordinarily beautiful Rowena called out to the three men from the bamboo forest.

Enjoying the sumptuous breakfast served by beautiful woman while appreciating the fragrance of flowers and birdsong not far away, as well as the clear mountain spring, they felt extremely pleased. Their nervous mood in the past few days finally eased up.

At this entrancing and flourishing spiritual land, Xiao Chen trained with a relaxed mind. His pure energy became more and more condensed, after his martial technique improved, he felt that he was able to absorb the worldly essence much faster than before.

It must be mentioned that Rowena was really “responsible and diligent”, she actually wanted to turn Yan Qing Cheng into a gorgeous woman. She diligently gave her instructions everyday, which made Yan Qing Cheng clench her teeth in anger. ⌈2

The three skeletons were training, Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen were also training, everyone was striving to increase their own strength. According to what Lawrence had said, training for one year on the dragon island was equivalent to three-five years of training in the past, because they might die if they didn’t have enough strength at this place. Everyone had no other choice but be forced to devise ways to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Only Keke was the most leisure, it would go provoke the two young Dragon Kings when it had nothing to do, which caused the birds and beasts in this region to run away frantically due to the dragon roars.

“Xiao Chen, are you using the true God Slayer Technique?”

Yizhen was currently swapping pointers with Xiao Chen, he saw how Xiao Chen used the God Slayer Technique before. He was very surprised after the enquiry, and said, “Legend says that after the God Slayer Technique reach a certain level, it was possible to slay a god efficiently. It is an extremely terrifying killing move, but nobody was capable of mastering it.”

Yizhen saw how Xiao Chen was already able to display such a huge power with his current ability, he was indeed somewhat fearful. Xiao Chen didn’t hide anything and passed this technique to him, but Buddhist Yizhen was unable to display its full power with his Buddhism Law. It seemed like this killing move was specially customized for those who trained in the divine monolith’s law.

After hearing Xiao Chen’s presentation, there were still three techniques as powerful as God Slayer; The Chaotic Patterns, Demon Suppression, and Death Blow, Buddhist Yizhen was truly a bit speechless. In fact, Xiao Chen only focused on practicing the God Slayer at the moment, because one technique could evolve into endless variation, he still haven’t grasped the essence of this first technique.

Actually, after the life and death experience in the ghost town, Buddhist Yizhen had reaped a huge benefit too. The ancient scripture in the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel had embedded in his heart for eternity. At the same time, the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel had increased his power from the Fifth Celestial Layer directly to the Seventh Celestial Layer. ⌈3

After training on this beautiful spiritual mountain for a few days, Xiao Chen and the others clearly felt the baleful aura in the heart of the island had become weaker. And this was already the seventh days since the ghost town appeared.

Xiao Chen hurriedly left this place, and made his way to the vicinity of the sea of bones in order to look around. As for Lawrence and Yizhen, because of the Azure Dragon King and Jade Dragon King, they stayed behind. The three skeletons also didn’t leave, and continued to train at this place. Only Keke followed Xiao Chen delightfully.

With his current ability, a few dozen miles were nothing. He quickly entered the deathly still forest, and arrived just before the sea of bones.

A few dozen practitioners concealed themselves at this place, they were all watching the ghost town from the sidelines. They paid close attention to everything that happened there. Xiao Chen arrived just on time, the sea of blood in the sky slowly retreated, and the Brass Trigrams, Divine Halberd, and Metal Engravings in the ghost town transformed into three light beams and left the ghost town. As for Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, it embedded itself back onto the ancient city gate.

Soon after, all the dragons flew out from the ghost town, their divine ability seemed to be weakening at lightning speed. They actually landed on the ground as soon as they left the ghost town. The last to fly out of the ancient city was the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn and Ancestral Dragon’s Claw. They flew towards the direction of the sacred mountain.

Everyone was incomparably shocked, the dragons really seemed to have lost their divine ability, they merely recovered their divine ability for seven days, and then returned to their original state. Regardless of the kings of dragons such as the Monarch Lion Dragon and the Tyrannical Dragon, or the common dragons such as the Elephans Draco and the others, all of them were using brute force to run towards a distant location. Not a single dragon were able to fly again.

Seven days!

Such a mysterious seven days!

How did something like these happen?!

The ghost town in the middle of the sea of bones also gradually became duller over time. In the end, it actually completely disappeared in the boundless sea of bones. Only the hundred meter tall ancient divine monolith stood there. Everything had disappeared, as if nothing happened in the first place. However, regardless of the deathly still forest, or the boundless sea of bones, the traces from the rain of blood remained, this was the only evidence that left behind.

Only until a long time later, when the dragons distanced themselves, and the forest became quiet, did the practitioners dare to approach the sea of bones. They wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. Among the dozens of practitioner, the majority of them did not enter the ghost town. When the rain of blood descended, they didn’t enter this terrifying ominous land. Spell Master Schroder and Psychic Lanyu was among the group. Xiao Chen had met these two before, he was unable to recognize the rest.

Xiao Chen also entered the sea of bones, he found the Solitary Sword Demon at this place, as well as that mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist. Almost all the survivors who had entered the ancient city before were present, they were the most concerned regarding these.

All of a sudden, Xiao Chen felt someone was spying on him. This was his foresight ability without relying on sight and sound. This was the new divine ability that came into his possession recently. Fifty meter behind him, a young man with pale complexion was currently sizing him up.

Even though they were still a distance apart, Xiao Chen could feel this guy was extremely dangerous. He had a feeling that even the Solitary Sword Demon was not a match for him.

Although he didn’t turn around to watch, he already clearly captured that person’s appearance with his spiritual sense. That was a twenty plus year old youngster, he was medium-sized, and couldn’t be considered handsome. His complexion was abnormally pale, it seemed like there was no flowing blood.

For some reason, a weird feeling welled up in Xiao Chen’s heart, it felt like he had seen this person before, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment. The youth with abnormally pale complexion was clearly not spying on Xiao Chen alone, he also spied on Solitary Sword Demon, Lanyu, Schroder, and the other experts, all of these were clearly sensed by Xiao Chen. ⌈4

What was he doing? Xiao Chen remained calm and collected, he continued to use his foresight ability to observe him. All of a sudden, Xiao Chen’s pair of eyes emitted two divine light, he felt a nip in the air. He “saw” the red birthmark on the left wrist of the youth, it was identical to a shocking memory in his mind. ⌈5

He once excavated thee ice coffins at the snowy mountain. Each coffin had a piece of casted off human skin. All the three human skins had this kind of red birthmark on their left wrist, it was exactly the same. At last, Xiao Chen finally realized why he felt this youth looked so familiar. If this youth had more wrinkles on his pale cheeks, and had thinly spread white hair, then he would look exactly the same as those three human skin.

It was the old ghost in the ice coffins!

Xiao Chen secretly sucked in a mouthful of cold air, how did this happen? His original speculation actually came true, this kind of bizarre old ghost actually existed! If that was the case, then doesn’t that mean this old ghost had lived on this dragon island all along? That means he had lived for at least a few hundred years!

But why did he spy on me? Xiao Chen had this kind of doubts. Being watched by this kind of bizarre old ghost, anyone would feel a sense of danger. God knows just what was this old ghost planning.

Looking at how young the old ghost was one more time, and yet so pale, it really looked like a living corpse. Words couldn’t even describe how eerie and frightening it was. In the end, the old ghost distanced himself, and disappeared from this sea of bones.

This was a great misfortune, he must think of a way to defend himself, or even eliminate the old ghost. Just when Xiao Chen’s state of mind was very unstable, he felt a very familiar aura, it seemed like the Barbarian Tribe’s young expert Chaos was glancing left and right not far behind him. However, Xiao Chen was completely gobsmacked, even though the aura was very much like that of Chaos’, that was not the same person! ⌈6



 


  1. Silva: Ain’t this the Magic Perception? They should be a pretty common ability in most of the recent stories~ I guess this story really takes place a really long time in the past 😛  
  2. Silva: I couldn’t help but think; Rowena is so dead once Yan Qing Cheng break free. 
  3. Silva: Hew~ Hew~ That’s a huge jump of level~ 
  4. Silva: I had the weirdest feeling that it was that Treant… 
  5. Silva: Ok guess not… 
  6. Silva: What?! Did Chaos get eaten by an evil spirit or something? 

Chapter 100 – Harvesting Dragon King



On that afternoon, the few of them decided to leave the ice and snow world, and return to the exuberant mountain woods brimming with vitality. Just at this time, Xiao Chen recalled the three dragon eggs he buried at this snowy mountain. The Monarch Lion Dragon’s egg had already been refined by him. The Tyrannical Dragon, Saber Dragon, and Thunder Dragon’s egg were still preserved in good condition at this place.

When they heard Xiao Chen mentioned this. Not only was Rowena startled and excited, even Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen were emotionally moved. They heard about the battle that unfolded on the snowy mountain due to the dragon eggs before, but they never thought Xiao Chen actually managed to get so many dragon eggs.

When everyone entered that region, all of them stopped at the same time. That was because they could feel the fluctuation of life, it was precisely on that mountain peak where Xiao Chen said he buried the dragon eggs. They thought of the same possibility simultaneously……

They quickly rushed up, Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen followed Xiao Chen’s instruction, and destroyed a thick layer of ice. A snowy cave revealed itself.

After clearing up the ice and snow at the tunnel entrance, dazzling rays of light immediately overflowed. Three magical dragon eggs were as beautiful as jade. The green Tyrannical Dragon’s egg flickered with glorious divine radiance. It was crystal clear, and as eye-catching as a green moon. An intoxicating radiance was circulating on the Saber Dragon’s jasper-like eggshell, it had a striking resemblance with spiritual jadeite. Purple splendor was lingering on the Thunder Dragon’s egg. It was extraordinarily beautiful, as if it was carved out of amethyst.

And just at this time, the fluctuation of life became more intense. It actually originated from the Tyrannical Dragon and Saber Dragon’s eggs. Xiao Chen and the rest were right on the mark, a young dragon or two was about to be born.

“This…… the temperature is so low here, and yet they are able to break free from the shell. This is inconceivable.” Lawrence sighed in awe.

Buddhist Yizhen explained, “The temperature have nothing to do with it. The dragon eggs will absorb the worldly essence by itself, when they collected sufficient spiritual energy, the young dragon will break free from the shell by itself.”

Xiao Chen also never thought it would become like this.

“Crack!”

The sound of cracking eggshell could be heard, a small crack appeared on the Tyrannical Dragon’s egg. A green divine radiance emitted from the crack.

Xiao Chen hastily called everyone out of the cave, he told Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen at the entrance of the cave, “I have a feeling, that Tyrannical Dragon’s egg might produce a young dragon king. I believe the first person it see will leave a deep impression in its heart. Among the two of you, who wants to go in and obtain this opportunity?”

What this signify was very obvious; They might be able to subdue a dragon king, nobody would remain unstirred at such an opportunity! Rowena who was at the side felt really envious and jealous. But she knew a Dragon King was too precious, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for her.

“Brother Xiao, you should go in by yourself.” Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen unanimously decided.

“No. You guys had seen it yourself, Keke was not inferior to Dragon Kings. You guys make a decision quickly, or you might miss the opportunity.” Keke’s magical ability was obvious to all. Xiao Chen was speaking the truth.

Buddhist Yizhen said, “Brother Law, you go. You are a Void Master. Your only weakness is that your physique is inferior to Martial Artist. If you have a Dragon King at your side, you will inevitably be unparalleled. You will become a genuine war king.”

“No. I already heard this a long time ago. Buddhist had mythological beasts as protector of Buddhism law. If you have a Dragon King beside you, your Buddhist Divine Power will rise tremendously.”

The two of them declined each other’s kindness. Xiao Chen laughed and said, “Don’t argue anymore, it seems like there are two life fluctuations. They are almost just as powerful, but one of them will be born soon. Lawrence, you go first. The other one belong to Yizhen.”

Just at this time, Lawrence and the others also felt it. The other fluctuation of life also became more intense. It seemed like it was also about to break out from the shell. Lawrence no longer declined. He entered the ancient cave with large strides. And just at this time, the sound of cracking eggshell sped up.

A cry of shock transmitted outwards, Lawrence had seen the young dragon born with his own eyes.

“Roar……!”

A dragon roar transmitted outwards, Lawrence embraced the half meter long green colored young dragon and walked out. The young dragon seemed a little perplexed, but it didn’t attack Lawrence.

“It’s a Dragon King!” Buddhist Yizhen and Rowena cried out at the same time.

Syndicate Dragon King were born with extraordinary gifts, they were substantially different from the rest of the dragons. This green colored young dragon did not resemble a Tyrannical Dragon at all. Its dragon head was similar to that of the Ancestral Dragon, it was almost the same. A pair of green dragon horns shone with resplendent rays of light. Its body looked similar to Tyrannical Dragon. It was flickering with green radiance. The moment it was born, it began to absorb the worldly essence frantically. The spiritual essence gathered from all directions.

Lawrence quickly operated his spiritual energy to “feed” it, allowing the little dragon king to absorb it frantically. This was a joyous and shocking occasion.

“I will call you the Azure Dragon King from now on.” Lawrence said happily.

And Yizhen did not say much to Xiao Chen, he already entered the icy cave, waiting for the young Saber Dragon to break free from the shell. Without a doubt, that was definitely a Dragon King, because its life fluctuation was not much weaker than the Azure Dragon King’s.

If these were to spread out, everyone would certainly feel incomparably shocked. The dragon eggs fetched by Xiao Chen was really as the rumor says. The “Dragon King Cultivation Plan” was successfully carried out, but this was actually unintentional.

“Crack! Crack!”

The sound of cracking eggshell transmitted from the icy cave. A dragon roar followed soon after. Another young Dragon King had been born, Buddhist Yizhen embraced the little dragon and came out, it was also about half a meter long. Green radiance was lingering on its entire body, the dragon head was also similar to that of the Ancestral Dragon, it had a pair of jasper-like dragon horns, its draconic body resembled the Saber Dragon; It had many sharp bony outgrowths, it gave Buddhist Yizhen no other choice but to be careful when embracing it, lest he be stabbed.

“Then I will call you the Jade Dragon King from now on.” Buddhist Yizhen was very happy. He also began to operate his pure energy to “feed” the young dragon king, allowing it to absorb it frantically.

“Xiao Chen, could you give the remaining young dragon to me? All of you already have a powerful Dragon King anyways.” Rowena was acting shyly, she kept casting flirtatious glance to Xiao Chen.

“If a young dragon will really be born, I can give it to you.” Xiao Chen replied like this. But in reality, he knew it was not highly possible, because he couldn’t feel a trace of life fluctuation from the Thunder Dragon’s egg.

However, Rowena already ran into the icy cave happily. Only until a long time later did they hear her startled scream, “How did this happen?!”

Xiao Chen walked into the cave, he only saw Rowena using one hand to lightly drag the huge purple dragon egg. It seemed like she didn’t use too much strength.

“Why is it so light?” She was filled with doubt.

When Xiao Chen received the Thunder Dragon’s egg, he furrowed his brows. This dragon egg was indeed too light. Moreover, the life essence inside the egg was not very much. There was practically no life fluctuation transmitted outwards.

“Don’t tell me the life energy within had been fought over by the two Dragon Kings?!” Xiao Chen had this kind of thoughts. After all, an ordinary dragon couldn’t be compared to the Dragon King. Since the dragons were born, they needed to absorb a great amount of worldly essence. In the face of two Dragon Kings, this dragon egg couldn’t be preserved anymore.

When Rowena heard this, she immediately became dejected. She was extremely disappointed. ⌈1

And outside of the icy cave right now, the Azure Dragon King and Jade Dragon King had already absorbed enough spiritual energy. They could walk by themselves already.

Keke also ran over from a distant place, it curiously sized up the two Dragon Kings. The Azure Dragon King and Jade Dragon King seemed to possess an enmity against one another. They faced each other and it seemed like they would break into a fierce battle any moment now. Lawrence and Yizhen hastily separated them.

Dragon King and Ancestral Dragon will fight for supremacy. At the same time, the fierce battle would also occur among the Dragon Kings. Right now, they definitely cannot allow them to be hostile to one another, if they were to fight, both will suffer a disastrous loss regardless of who win or lose.

Lawrence and Yizhen were fully aware of the legend regarding the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon King. The young Dragon King will gain an ability to protect themselves not long after they were born, then they will leave the dragon nest by themselves. From then on, they will keep fighting and grow up in dangerous environment.

The young Dragon Kings might have a favorable impression of them now, but it was hard to say whether they will leave on their own accord or not. Therefore, the two of them decided they must establish a tight relationship with the Dragon Kings, just like that mysterious woman and that Amethyst Dragon King.

“This is truly unbelievable. To see two Dragon Kings born on the same day. I find it a little hard to believe.” Lawrence sighed in awe.

“It was indeed very amazing.” Buddhist Yizhen also spoke like this.

“I found these eggs at the vicinity of the sacred mountain. The dragons and monsters roaming around that place were the most powerful of their kinds. How could their later generations be any ordinary dragons!” Xiao Chen already had this kind of premonition a long time ago. He knew if the little dragons were to be born from the dragon eggs he looted, they will most likely be Dragon Kings.

The young Dragon Kings could already run as fast as the wind, they seriously lived up to their name as the mythological beasts in legend. Even though they were only half a meter long, they were already bigger than Keke.

“Squeak! Squeak……!” Keke was jumping from the head of one dragon to another, it felt very strange. It seemed to be extremely happy to have two new playmates.

But the two proud Dragon Kings were not very happy, they resented that little critter for stepping on their head. They were even angrier that Keke was taking them to be mounts. However, they found that they were unable to do anything to that snow-white little critter. Its speed was much faster than them.

“Roar……!”

“Roar……!”

Dragon roars pierced the sky, it nearly caused an avalanche. Even though the Syndicate Dragon Kings were very young, they possessed incomparable strength.

When the few of them left the snowy mountain, they stood at the tallest peak to survey the sea of bones. That place was still shrouded by bloody light. It seemed like the battle had not ceased yet. This was indeed an earth rending battle.

Why did the rain of blood fell that night? How did the dragons who had been sealed recover their divine ability? And most importantly, why did they attack that incomparably terrifying ghost town simultaneously? What was the thing that was suppressed by the divine monolith…… The few of them were filled with questions. It was really not easy to get out alive this time.



 


  1. Silva: Oh Xiao Chen… you heartbreaker… XD  

Chapter 99 – Breakthrough to Seventh Celestial Layer



“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Keke’s status increased greatly. Everyone looked at it more passionate than ever. How they wished they could just embrace the little critter in their bosom and take it away. Unfortunately, the little critter didn’t understand their ways of thinking at all. It blinked its glittering big eyes and looked at everyone innocently. It seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied being stared by everyone like that. It waved its little paws at everyone while “squeaking” resentfully to protest.

Everyone had different thoughts, and began to push their way forward again. However, they were getting closer to those densely packed castle halls below.

“Swish!”

Light and shadow flickered. Xiao Chen disappeared, but he was pulled back by Keke in the nick of time. However, it seemed to be struggling a little. Only after the mysterious woman, Lawrence, and Buddhist Yizhen hastily offered their support did they manage to drag Xiao Chen back in the end.

“Not good, we can’t go on like this. Otherwise none of us would be able to get to the mountain foot alive.” Xiao Chen halted his footstep. He didn’t want to die, it was only because Keke was capable of saving him did he dare to take the lead. But now, it was getting more strenuous for Keke, it will eventually slip up if they keep up like this.

“Then what do we do? Don’t tell me we’re just going to wait for our impending death here?”

Everyone was feeling anxious, they didn’t have any ways out.

“Guys, look over there…… it seems like a sacrifice altar!” The extraordinarily beautiful Rowena suddenly cried out in shock.

The huge sacred mountain region was very vast, behind a pile of rubble at a distant place, it seemed like there really was a sacrifice altar. It was made by piling up dark brown rocks.

Everyone walked over there cautiously. In the end, they looked at each other in dismay, that place…… seriously had a sacrifice altar that was about ten meter tall. It was emitting unbounded ancient aura.

Xiao Chen said, “Rather than waiting for our impending death here, we might as well make a bet!”

“Heh. Let’s take our chance then!” The Solitary Sword Demon agreed. Even if he was conceited and arrogant, he also had no other way to get out of this alive.

Everyone walked on top of the ancient sacrifice altar together, a gloomy baleful aura was transmitted from above. It seemed like it had once been stained by blood. Even though countless years had passed, they were still able to see the dried up bloodstain.

But when dozen of people got to the top of the altar, the ancient sacrifice altar didn’t have any response. It seemed like nothing more than an ordinary altar.

“Blood sacrifice! It seemed like this altar requires blood to activate.” Someone proposed this kind of idea because they saw the dried up bloodstain on the sacrifice altar.

“Very well, then each of us will spill some blood on the altar.”

Everyone pierced their finger tip, and let the blood drop spill on the altar. Although the blood was limited, they could clearly feel the changes of the sacrifice altar. Its entire body actually turned red and burst forth with bloody light.

At the same time, the stars in the sky actually shot down one after another light beams. All the light beams gathered on the ancient sacrifice altar. The bloody light then soared into the sky, glaring bloody radiance emerged from this area. Meanwhile, a bizarre image came into their view, everyone actually saw the ghost town. All of their faces turned pale at the thought that they will be sent back to the ghost town. This made them feel very discouraged.

Fortunately, that was just an image, it was not their destination.

The intense battle in the ghost town was still ongoing. The Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn, and the Brass Trigrams were still bombarding the divine monolith. The dragons were also making their moves. An endless swarm of evil spirits who carried sky-rending baleful aura were approaching the divine monolith.

What made everyone even more terrified was that; There was actually a sea of blood hovering on top of the ghost town. It the center of the sea of blood, there was a mountain of bones. And on the mountain of bones, there was an ancient castle emitting dense negative aura.

This…… made everyone stupefied. Wasn’t this the diagram carved on the divine monolith? The real thing actually appeared!

They clearly saw the picture carved on the surface of the divine monolith while they were in the ghost town. Therefore, they were able to recall those images in their mind.

What was carved at the uppermost of the divine monolith was an ocean of blood as far as the eyes could see, there were hundreds and thousand layers of raging waves. A mountain of bones stood at the center of the bloody ocean. And in the center, the dragons were galloping in the skies. It seemed like they were wailing. Many people and deities were also struggling. Below the dragons and those deities was a ghost town. The demonic aura was dense, the pitch-black gate to hell was half-opened. It was completely lifeless beyond the gate, it was a world of complete darkness. And below the ghost town, there was an auspicious land. The castle was idle, the resplendent divine trees and jade-like grasses were all over the place. However, not much was outlined. It was already at the bottom-most of the divine monolith, it was hard to observe more of the vast land.

Right now, the sea of blood and mountain of bones had made an appearance. The ghost town also appeared. Could it be that there was really a pure land underneath the ghost town? Everyone was full of doubts.

All of these indicated the picture recorded on the divine monolith was real!

Glaring bloody light flashed. The light beams shot down by the stars in the sky were absorbed by the ancient sacrifice altar. After that, it emitted blazing rays of light, everyone was unable to open their eyes anymore. But they knew that they will be sent to an unknown area.

Certainly, they were putting their lives on the line. After all, the sacrifice altar was not supposed to be used to travel back and forth. It seemed to be used for sending offerings. If their deduction was correct, their situation was extremely dangerous, because it was very possible that they will be delivered to the door of the Saint Demon as an offering. However, they didn’t have any other choice, they could only take the bet!

They were crossing the empty space once more, and it was pretty much the same as the last time. The light beams flew past in the endless void sky like shooting stars. It seemed like countless stars were flickering as they forged ahead, it felt as if they were pushing their way through under the resplendent starry sky.

The time was already twisted. It made people unable to understand whether the time was passing by quickly, or if the time was flowing slowly. It lasted until a glaring radiance burst out. After they came out from this bizarre space, all of these finally came to an end.

The cold air whizzed past. The snowflake danced in the breeze. A vast expanse of whiteness was now present before everyone’s eyes. They actually found themselves at the great snow mountain.

This is…… the great snow mountain at the West side of the sea of bones!

The Sacred Mountain at the East, the sea of bones in the center, and the Great Snow Mountain at the West, these three formed a straight line. These were extremely unusual locations on the dragon island, Xiao Chen never thought these three actually had a great connection.

Everyone was anxious and frightened. They didn’t know if they had really came out alive this time around. It was currently at the crack of dawn, the East already exposed marble white color of the dawn sky. The cold wind roared furiously on the snow mountain, the snowflakes danced wildly. This snowy world was particularly cold.

“Will there be any terrifying existence here? Will we be…… eaten up as offerings?” One practitioner’s voice was somewhat shaky. They faced death again and again in such a short period of time, it already made him lose heart. He was unable to endure anymore psychological damage than this.

After the series of dangers, only sixteen people were able to get this far. And this included Qinguang Wang, Lunhui Wang, and the other skeleton. If they only count those who were completely “human”, then there were only thirteen of them.

When everyone was feeling somewhat nervous, Keke let out a cheer. It stepped on the Amethyst Dragon King’s head and jumped onto the snowy ground. It happily rolled on the ground, it was like a happy little snowman. The young Amethyst Dragon King was very unhappy. It let out a growl towards Keke who was much smaller than it, but it didn’t launch an attack.

The time passed by peacefully. The blizzard already came to a stop. The morning sun rose from the East and gave off a golden radiance. It was a morning filled with hope.

Everyone cautiously trod on the snowy ground, they climbed on top of a snowy peak to survey the green hills at the distant place. They didn’t encounter any danger here.

“There’s no restriction here, we are saved.” One practitioner shouted happily.

Illusion Master Carlos was the first to soar into the sky. He quickly flew towards a distant location. After he was convinced that they were no longer in any immediate danger, he couldn’t help but run away as soon as possible. Otherwise he and Xiao Chen will definitely engage in a life and death battle, since they already don’t have any common interest.

“Haha……” The Solitary Sword Demon laughed heartily, his sonorous voice was like trembling metal. He looked at Buddhist Yizhen, Xiao Chen, and the rest before he lifted his metal sword and left at lightning speed. The woman shrouded in colorful mist also left swiftly with the Amethyst Dragon King. Soon after, the survivors left one after another.

Rowena didn’t leave, she revealed a heartfelt smile. She used her lily-white hand to tightly secure Yan Qing Cheng’s hands, preventing her from running away. This made Yan Qing Cheng hate her to the point that the root of her teeth was itching.

“We finally escaped!” As soon as Lawrence finished these words, he fell onto the snowy ground. His wound was not light. At the same time, because he was exhausted, and that he was physically weak to begin with, he fell asleep the moment he relaxed.

“One new life, one transformation.” It seemed like Buddhist Yizhen gained an insight, he welcomed the morning sun and sat on the snowy ground.

As a Martial Artist, Xiao Chen had a physique far more powerful than ordinary people. Even though he felt a bit exhausted, he didn’t have the desire to take a rest. The God Slayer, Chaotic Patterns, Demon Suppression, and Death Blow; These four killing techniques were enticing him like an ancient spell. He rushed in between the snowy mountain to smooth out his body, then he began to practice these four killing techniques on the heavenly diagram of the divine monolith.

Under the morning sun. At the snowy field. Xiao Chen’s body seemed like a mosquito. ⌈1⌋ He jumped to the summit of a snowy mountain, and left one after another afterimages. He pushed his way through like a streak of divine radiance. With a rumbling sound, the summit of the snowy mountain was actually destroyed. His momentum was extremely great!

At a distant place, Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng’s face already discolored. Buddhist Yizhen who was currently sitting in meditation also felt emotionally moved.

Xiao Chen stood on top of the snowy mountain, his tall and lofty figure was covered by the golden radiance of the morning sun. It looked like he was adorned with a layer of divine armor. Just now, he clearly felt the power of the four killing moves. He merely used the first “God Slayer” only, and it already drained all of his strength. However, it was extremely powerful. He actually destroyed the mountain peak!

If he could use these four killing moves without a limit, then he would be peerless among those of the same generation.

After resting for sufficient time, Xiao Chen proceeded to practice the second killing move, “Chaotic Patterns”. But it was the same as before, his innate power was unable to keep up. Only a fraction of power was displayed before the power in his body ran dry. Due to this, he was really looking forward to the day he could fully control these four killing moves; God Slayer, Chaotic Patterns, Demon Suppression, and Death Blow. He was unable to exhibit their full power right now, and yet they were already so terrifying. If he was really able to fully control them, then just how powerful would they become?

After practicing two of the killing moves, the God Slayer and Chaotic Patterns, even after Xiao Chen had sufficient rest, he felt his qi and blood was having adverse reaction. His body seemed somewhat unstable. He naturally knew what was going on. He had this kind of feeling a really long time ago. Whenever he practiced a powerful technique, he would feel like this. And precisely because of this, he deduced it was because of the technique he practiced in; It seemed to be imperfect, there ought to have a follow-up.

To be able to come out alive after charging into the ghost town this time. It truly turned into a great opportunity for Xiao Chen. He was actually able to find the continuation of the qi-training diagram bestowed by heaven.

Xiao Chen calmly stood on the snowy peak. The qi-training method bestowed by heaven was very special, it didn’t require one to sit in meditation to practice. That heavenly diagram embedded into the depths of his mind reappeared at this moment. He began to operate the secret technique in accordance to the diagram.

It was truly like water and milk blended together. It was really the continuation of the qi-training diagram he found previously. It was completely compatible with the former qi-training method. Xiao Chen felt his entire body was extremely relaxed, the adverse reaction between his qi and blood from earlier completely calmed down.

He stood like that for half a day, his surroundings was flickering with multi-colored radiance. It made the snowy ground brightly lit in contrast to the surroundings. All the spiritual energy was forcefully gathered together and rushed into his body. In the end, Xiao Chen’s two legs actually parted three-inch from the ground, and floated in the sky. A faint luster was circulating around his body, every inch of his skin was like divine jade.

In the afternoon, Xiao Chen finally woke up from that mysterious martial domain. A layer of crystal clear radiance circulated around his entire body. He actually broke through to the Seventh Celestial Layer very naturally. All because his secret technique improved one step further, he breakthrough to a new level very naturally.

Lawrence also woke up a long time ago. He kept drawing one after another diagrams on the snowy ground as if he had been possessed by the devil. It was a very mysterious space magic that was recorded on the stone fence. It could be considered a priceless treasure for him, Xiao Chen and Yizhen didn’t disturb him. They let him remain submerged in that selfless domain.

Two days had passed without any water and rice, Buddhist Yizhen hunted a few Snow Rabbit, he and Xiao Chen used their pure energy to melt the snow and washed the rabbit meat. After that, they operated the secret technique and used the blazing divine radiance to roast the rabbit meat. This could also be considered some kind of unconventional practices.

The aroma of the meat finally woken Lawrence from that “selfless” domain. His stomach betrayed his wisdom and called out with a “grumbling” sound. The remarkably beautiful captive, Yan Qing Cheng, didn’t get mistreated at all, and she also didn’t regard anyone as outsider. She sat along with everyone and enjoyed the meal.

Only Keke was looking at everyone miserably, it painfully stroked its round and bulging little belly. After that, it used its pair of little paws to cover its eyes. ⌈2

To live on after a calamity, everyone felt deeply moved. They finally escaped from the ghost town. Even if they were at this ice and snow world, they still felt the life was so vivid. A genuine world with vitality and energy was just too great.



 


  1. Silva: It originally says mosquito dragon, but dragon feels redundant and meaningless. It probably mean Xiao Chen’s figure was so small that it looked like a mosquito. 
  2. Silva: There it is!!! Keke’s signature move! It’s super effective! 

Chapter 98 – Passing through the Space



“Keke, how come you’re here?” Xiao Chen was really worried about it earlier.

Keke was panting with rage as it pointed at him, and then pointing at itself. Its expression was so cute and funny, it was “squeaking” unceasingly like a sulky child. It seemed to be blaming him for abandoning it.

After Keke jumped over, a huge commotion already broke out below the sacrifice altar. It seemed like the evil spirits that rushed out from the former residences wanted to cross the blood river and rush to the top of the altar. This made all the practitioners incomparably frightened. But fortunately, they only let out a few angry snarl and did chase any further.

“Aw~ so cute!” The exceptionally beautiful Rowena smiled enchantingly. She walked over here and embraced Keke, but the little critter didn’t seem to appreciate the soft feeling of her breasts, it directly jumped on top of her head instead.

This made Rowena felt embarrassed and humiliated. In the end, it was Buddhist Yizhen’s bald head that helped her broke away from this predicament. With a “swish”, Keke jumped on top of his head, it even jumped on top of his head a few times due to curiosity. Buddhist Yizhen was not angry at all, he was all smile. It seemed like he had really became a monk that transcended worldliness.

“Keke, don’t mess around.” Xiao Chen grabbed Keke down from Buddhist Yizhen’s head. However, Keke fixed its gaze on the Amethyst Dragon King in the end. It looked at the legendary king of dragons without a hint of fear. Moreover, it was extremely daring as it hopped onto the Dragon King’s head. This gave everyone another great shock, just what was this little critter’s origin for it to be so fearless?!

“Roar……!” The Amethyst Dragon King raged, it shook its dragon head with all its might. It wanted to throw Keke down. For the Amethyst Dragon King, this was a type of serious provocation. As the future Dragon King, how could it let a little critter ride on top of its head. It was truly intolerable.

“Keke……” Xiao Chen was almost speechless. This little critter was really too naughty. How could it be so fearless? He quickly grabbed Keke forcefully in order to prevent the Amethyst Dragon King from going crazy. Facing such an angry Amethyst Dragon King, Keke waved its little paw without a care in the world. It seemed to be saying; I don’t want to play with you anymore.

Everyone became speechless watching these event unfold.

And just at this time, the bloody sun shifted to the middle of the sky. One after another bloody light descended, the sacrifice altar also burst forth with endless bloody radiance. In the end, everyone felt everything around them were covered in the color of blood. They were unable to see anything else.

The space was distorted, it seemed as if the time had also twisted. Everyone felt as if they had entered a space-time tunnel, a bizarre feeling sprouted in their heart.

The bloody light became the only thing before their eyes. Who knows how much time had passed, everyone felt as if they were walking on the clouds. It seemed as if they were pushing their way through at high-speed. When the bloody light finally faded away, what appeared before them was an empty space. It was like they had returned from ancient times, there was no scenery within this unusual space. Except for their breathing sound, it was deathly silent in this pitch-black space.

It felt like a hundred million years had passed, yet it felt like only a few seconds had passed, everyone was experiencing a space-time disorder. Soon after, countless light beam streaked through the sky beside everyone like one after another shooting stars. Xiao Chen and the rest felt as if they were travelling through time and space.

They quickly pushed their way through just like this. It felt as if time had already stopped, they couldn’t feel the flow of time anymore. Everyone’s heartbeat and breathing also seemed to have stopped.

Who knows when it started, the surrounding space began to twist, one after another ripples of energy fluctuation approached, but the energy ripples did not harm the body of anyone. It brushed past their skin like soft water ripple. ⌈1

“Rumble!”

With a burst of loud rumbling sound, a glaring radiance suddenly burst out, everyone couldn’t help but shut their eyes.

When everyone opened their eyes again, cool breeze brushed past their face, the moonlight was gentle, this was a peaceful night. The sky was filled with many stars, the moonlight spilled down like the water, everything was so auspicious and peaceful.

It really felt as if it was a lifetime ago, the soaring bloody light, the gloomy baleful aura, the endless stream of evil spirits…… they all disappeared without a trace.

Everyone found themselves on the summit of a huge mountain. There was a pavilion not far away, and a small bridge with running water. There was also the refreshing fragrance of flowers. Under the calm starry sky, everything seemed so beautiful, everyone had escaped from the ghost town. ⌈2

“We finally got out……” Someone shouted excitedly.

Xiao Chen found this place somewhat familiar, and Keke who was sitting on top of Lunhui Wang’s head was a little restless, it stayed on alert and looked all around. It was rare for the insensitive Keke to show this kind of expression.

One practitioner happily ran towards the clear spring nearby, but just when he passed the ancient hall at the side, he suddenly disappeared in thin air. This unforeseen event made everyone’s expression change, their happy expression vanished from the face of the earth. ⌈3

At the same time, a Psychic also disappeared in the sky. The sky was just as terrifying!

“Don’t move around randomly! Don’t get close to those ancient halls!” Xiao Chen yelled loudly, he finally remembered, this was the sacred mountain! This was the place where many dragons roamed around previously, it was very close to Keke’s home; the Heavenly Tree. At that time, he almost lost his life at the foot of the mountain.

How did they get here, and why was it already night-time, could they really have traveled through space-time, and spent more than half a day? Everyone had this kind of doubts.

The Amethyst Dragon King also let out a growl, it also hinted everyone not to act blindly without thinking. It seemed to be a little fearful of this sacred mountain.

The fine trees were exuberant on top of the sacred mountain, the waterfall was surging down the mountain, and there were many pavilion halls. It seemed just like a fairyland, but everyone felt fearful in their heart instead.

“This is really eccentric, the entire scenery looked picturesque, but the bottom seemed so desolate.” One practitioner who stood at the precipice thought out loud as he looked down.

It was like he said, the top of the sacred mountain had so many grand halls, but the bottom was very desolate. There was almost no vegetation, the huge sacred mountain was all brownish. It was somewhat strange.

It was clearly visible, all those halls had been through the vicissitudes of time, some were already collapsed.

“Where is this, what the hell is going on?” The practitioners were very uneasy. “We passed through the space and arrived at this unknown place.” Psychic Lawrence was most proficient in the power of space, he positively announced his verdict to everyone.

The mysterious woman who was proficient in time said, “We spent a lot of time to reach this place.”

Now, they could finally understand why it instantly turned from noon to night.

Xiao Chen didn’t conceal anything, he shared his experience at the foot of the sacred mountain last time. Right now, their fate was interlinked, only by working together as a group would they have a chance of survival.

Not far away, the mysterious woman whose entire body was shrouded by colorful mist lightly stroked the Amethyst Dragon King’s horn. She attempted to communicate with it, and she finally came back after a long time, then she said, “The Amethyst Dragon King unintentionally charged into an ancient hall at the foot of the mountain and after that, it mysteriously arrived at the ghost town’s sacrifice altar.” ⌈4

Everyone became silent, the Amethyst Dragon King entered the ghost town from the foot of the mountain, and yet when they came back from the ghost town, they arrived at the peak of the sacred mountain. How are they supposed to get down safely?

With Xiao Chen’s experience. As well as how those practitioners disappeared in thin air earlier, all of these indicates that it would be difficult and dangerous to get to the mountain foot.

“Let’s probe around carefully as we descend, this place should not be as dangerous as the ghost town.” Someone proposed this kind of idea. The other people hesitated for a moment, but they still decided to go along with it.

However, just when they covered a distance of roughly hundred meter, a miserable cry resounded. The person at the frontmost disappeared in thin air. And there was no ancient hall in the vicinity, this was really somewhat frightening. They were still on the summit, they had just left from the precipitous area, they hadn’t really descended yet.

Looking at all the ancient halls below the mountain, everyone started to feel dizzy, they finally felt a sense of danger.

“Life or death will be decided by fate. Let’s go!” One practitioner was very courageous, he actually took the lead. This time everyone advanced for nearly fifty meter, then the practitioner who took the lead disappeared in thin air. He didn’t even had enough time to shout.

“How did this happen?!” Everyone were somewhat terrified, nobody was willing to take the lead now.

“Let me take the lead.” The mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist walked in front without hesitation, everyone couldn’t help but admire her courage.

“No, let me do it.” Xiao Chen walked out from the crowd just at this time, because he recalled what happened last time; Keke had saved him twice in the most crucial moment. He put Keke on the ground and said, “Little monster, you should stay a little far away from me, you must save me at the crucial moment.”

“Squeak! Squeak!” Keke was very dissatisfied to be called a little monster by Xiao Chen. It grabbed Xiao Chen’s long hair lightly and pulled it. After that, it nodded and blinked its big eyes as it got to the back of the line. Soon after, it jumped onto the back of the Amethyst Dragon King without restrain.

“Roar……!” The Amethyst Dragon King was completely enraged, this little critter actually dared to offend it again and again. It really made this Dragon King furious, how it wished it could tear the little critter apart immediately.

“Don’t get angry.” The woman shrouded in colorful mist appeased the Amethyst Dragon King who was about to go on a rampage, she said, “It is much smaller than you, let it have its way for a bit, a Dragon King must have a Dragon King’s elegance.” Very clearly, the mysterious woman treated the Amethyst Dragon King as a child throwing a tantrum.

The Amethyst Dragon King let out a growl, then it turned around to take a quick glance at Keke. It seemed like Keke was no longer provoking it and sitting on its back quietly. Keke was currently keeping an eye on Xiao Chen nervously.

After changing their direction, they walked down the mountain for about ten meter. Xiao Chen’s figure suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, that area burst forth with divine radiance. Keke had made its move! It actually dragged Xiao Chen back.

Everyone was dumbstruck, they couldn’t believe their eyes and looked at this cute little critter. Even the Amethyst Dragon King also exposed an astonished expression, it turned its head around to look at Keke who was on its back.

“Hehe……” Keke laughed out like an innocent child.

Xiao Chen who had just paid a visit to the gates of hell seemed to have sensed something, he turned around and said, “Just now I felt like I was enveloped by inexhaustible baleful aura. It was the same aura as in the ghost town. If we disappeared in thin air at the sacred mountain, we might end up in that ghost town again. Moreover, we might end up in a more dangerous place.”

From this, it could be seen that the quiet sacred mountain was also brimming with danger. A bit of carelessness would mean losing their life.

It was incomparably thrilling as they advanced for more than two hundred meter, Xiao Chen disappeared in thin air three times, but he was pulled back by Keke’s bizarre ability. However, something bad happened, because Keke “squeaked” and using a gesture to tell Xiao Chen that it was getting more and more strenuous.

All of them couldn’t help but feel anxious, if they keep going until the waist of the mountain, the ancient halls would increase in numbers. It was impossible to avoid them all. Everyone had already analysed the regular pattern, the closer to the halls, the more dangerous it became. How would they be able to leave the sacred mountain like this?!

When Keke pulled Xiao Chen back for the sixth time, the Amethyst Dragon King exposed an astonished expression. It noticed how Keke had a completely different expression from before. After that, it actually emitted a divine radiance and pulled one practitioner walking in front back from the netherworld.

It was actually a divine ability similar to Keke’s very own, but it was not as powerful as when Keke used it. Everyone looked at the Amethyst Dragon King in awe. They couldn’t help praise the Syndicate Dragon King, it truly lived up to its name, it actually learned Keke’s skill in such a short about of time.

But when it heard everyone’s compliment, the Amethyst Dragon King exposed a rarely seen ashamed and upset expression.

The mysterious woman was very close with the Amethyst Dragon King, she could more or less guess the reason it felt ashamed, so she asked, “Was Keke using the dragon’s divine ability?” ⌈5

The Amethyst Dragon King nodded its head in distress.

Seeing this as a result, everyone seemed to have petrified. Keke was actually using the dragon’s divine ability!

“I thought that was the case, when we were in the ghost town, I saw the Monarch Lion Dragon and Tyrannical Dragon using this kind of skill to confine, destroy, and exterminate everything.”

Not only was all the practitioners looking at Keke in awe, even Xiao Chen who walked in front stopped his footstep and turned around to look at that cute little snow-white critter. And just at this time, Keke became a little muddle-headed, it opened its eyes widely and looked at everyone in puzzlement. It had an innocent look.

Buddhist Yizhen recited the chant, and said, “I once saw an ancient scripture regarding the records of exotic beasts. It seemed like there were two or three exotic beasts that were as strong as dragons. They possessed unparalleled inborn intelligence, and could practice the divine ability of every race. I believe Keke might be one of those race, but it’s a pity that the ancient scripture was based on Buddhist doctrine, the record was lacking in details. It didn’t describe the exotic beasts’ appearance and name in detail.”



 


  1. Silva: Seriously… I wonder what’s going to happen now… are they going to be sent hundred years into the future? 
  2. Silva: Could this be the auspicious land below the well? 
  3. Silva: Oh noes… it was that sacred mountain!! 
  4. Silva: Oops…. that means those poor guys are back to the ghost town…. my condolences… 
  5. Silva: Gasp… Keke is a dragon? 

Chapter 97 – Heavenly Diagrams Appeared



The young Amethyst Dragon was the legendary Syndicate Dragon King. With it at their side, even if those dragons found them, they wouldn’t be attacked. Everyone comforted themselves like this. The Yin Warriors and Celestial Warriors at the back seemed to be anxious, they were unwilling to approach this place, and watched from a distant.

Letting out a growl, the Amethyst Dragon King moved away from the vicinity of the divine monolith. It ran towards the upstream of the blood river. This blood river with a nauseating smell could even be said to have nine bend eighteen curves. It was incomparably twisted.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, the rays of light soared into the sky from the divine monolith. The divine halberd with resplendent golden light and that jet-black metal engraving were sent flying away. Xiao Chen felt very excited, because at the time the divine monolith lit up, they arrived at the back of the divine monolith. He could vaguely see some diagrams within the divine radiance!

He was extremely excited at the moment, that was the continuation of the qi-training diagram bestowed by heaven. It was the piece of secret technique he had yearned for all along. The divine monolith on the dragon island really had some big connection with the ancient monolith in the Yellow River.

“Xiao Chen, what are you blanking out for?! Let’s go!” Lawrence noticed Xiao Chen was standing there with blank expression, he couldn’t help but pull his shirt.

“You guys go first. I will come after you soon.” Xiao Chen was absent-minded, his attention was fully focused on that indistinct qi-training diagram.

“Are you crazy?!” Lawrence exerted his strength to push Xiao Chen.

The Solitary Sword Demon at the side laughed grimly and said, “Hmhmhm. You wanted to memorize the qi-training diagram on the ancient monolith? I advise you to forget about it. Each and every practitioners who tried to practice the qi-training diagram on the dragon island’s ancient monolith ended up dead.”

Buddhist Yizhen also walked over when he heard these, then he said, “Xiao Chen, don’t be absurd and try to memorize the qi-training diagram, that is a technique that cannot be practiced. According to legend, someone had obtained the diagrams in the past. But all those who practiced this technique died tragically.”

“It doesn’t matter, you guys go first.” It was as if Xiao Chen had been possessed by ghost. His gaze was fixed at the ancient divine monolith firmly. But those diagrams already faded away as the rays of light receded.

Just at this time, a cry of alarm transmitted from the front. It seemed like the Amethyst Dragon King had led everyone to a bizarre location. Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen glanced at one another, then they pulled Xiao Chen at both sides and walked forward. It was easy to tell they were worried something would happen to Xiao Chen.

And just at this time, the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn, Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, Brass Trigram…… as well as numerous dragon’s spell bombarded the divine monolith again. The dazzling rays of light rose from the ancient monolith, the heavenly diagram appeared again!

This time, two terrifying rays of light shot out from Xiao Chen’s pair of eyes. It was just like an essence, his mind seemed to have left his body along with the two divine light. At this moment, he felt a large quantity of ancient aura pouncing on him directly. An ancient stone inscription deeply embedded into his brain.

That’s right, that was the follow-up of the martial arts he practiced! Moreover, he found four new techniques in that complicated diagram. It was four mysterious killing moves. Although there were only four moves, it meant the whole world to Xiao Chen.

It was impossible for Xiao Chen to completely assimilate the follow-up heavenly qi-training diagram in such a short period of time. He could only firmly embed them in his brain. However, he felt a sense of deja vu in regards to that four killing moves. After thinking about it for a while, it seemed like he had seen this One Scale: Half Claw before.

The first move from the four killing moves had a striking resemblance with the God Slayer Technique. But it was much more simpler than the God Slayer Technique. The more Xiao Chen analyzed, the more fearful he felt. The God Slayer Technique he found at the stone fence previously, when compared to the first move on the divine monolith, they were worlds apart. They couldn’t even be compared, it was hard to express just how profound it was with mere words.

Soon after, Xiao Chen found that the four killing moves on the divine monolith, a little trace of each could be found in the killing moves recorded on the stone fence. The second move of the four killing techniques actually had a little resemblance with “Chaotic Three-Way Patterns”. The third move of the four killing techniques actually had a little resemblance with “Eight Laws of Demon Suppression”. And the last of the killing techniques actually had a little resemblance with “Five Death Blow”.

The four killing techniques on the ancient divine monolith only required four signs, but so much skills had derived from such a simple diagram. Maybe this was the so-called main path.

The legendary Chaotic Three-Way Pattern, Eight Laws of Demon Suppression, Five Death Blow, etc were all evolved from one of the four killing techniques. And who knows just how many fold more refined were these techniques.

The main path is simple…… the main path is simple! Xiao Chen kept muttering these few words. In the end, he dubbed the four killing moves as: God Slayer, Chaotic Patterns, Demon Suppression, and Death Blow!

“What are you muttering to yourself?”

Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen who were pulling Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shake him a few times after seeing his absent-minded look. Xiao Chen finally woke up from that kind of state. He gradually calmed down, and said, “I am fine.” Only then did Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen let go of him.

“What happened over there?” Xiao Chen looked ahead of him in shock, they were already a few hundred meter behind. The bloody light soared to the heavens ahead of them.

“The Amethyst Dragon King drew us here, who knows; there might really be a way to get out of here.”

In this area, the amount of ancient buildings decreased. The blood river nearby pervaded with negative aura, bloody fog drifted around. The soaring bloody light in front seemed to possess an ancient platform brimming with oppressive aura.

Xiao Chen and the others quickly rushed over there. They found out that was actually an ancient sacrifice altar. It was made by piling black boulders on top of one another, the height was at least twenty meter tall. It was brimming with the vicissitudes of time. It was surrounded by two meter tall stone monoliths. And the soaring bloody light was precisely emitted by those stone monoliths. It was like they were shielding the ancient sacrifice altar.

The blood river was connected to the ancient sacrifice altar, then it flowed towards the distant location. It seemed like the bloody light had great connection to the blood river. People couldn’t help but suspect, could this be the legendary blood sacrifice? Could it be that the blood river was made for the purpose of powering this ancient sacrifice altar?

Nearly all the survivors in the ancient city followed the Dragon King and escaped to this place. But there were only seventeen to eighteen people left. The rest were no longer alive. Xiao Chen found his enemy, the genius Illusion Master, Carlos, at this place. But the two of them didn’t start a fight, this is not the best time to settle their personal enmity.

The Amethyst Dragon King let out a growl, then it actually jumped, and leapt over the blood river. It crossed the stone monolith, and rushed into the bloody light. Then it got in front of the ancient sacrifice altar. It turned around and let out a few growl, it seemed to be asking everyone to follow.

Dozens of practitioners looked at each other in dismay, could they leave the ghost town by running to the sacrifice altar? That seemed unlikely. However, they didn’t have much time to think over it, because waves of stampeding sound was transmitted from a distant place. The Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors took a long detour from the divine monolith and finally arrived here. Furthermore, even more evil spirits were also rushing over. The sky was also covered by the densely packed skeleton birds.

What’s more shocking was that. Many of the former residences were no longer at a standstill. Waves of mournful roars were transmitted from those residences, those were definitely some super powerful monsters!

The practitioners were no longer hesitant. Since they are already here, might as well give it a try along with the Amethyst Dragon King. Dozens of people jumped over the sea of blood in succession and crossed the stone monolith.

Everyone followed the Amethyst Dragon King along the ancient stone steps and got to the top of the sacrifice altar. The stone altar that had endured the wind and frost over countless years had diagrams of the sun, the moon, and stars carved on the surface. Not only that, there were also many drawings of ancient figures, but they were unable to guess what it was.

When they walked on top of the sacrifice altar, everyone also noticed many bloody diagrams depicting dragons being offered as sacrifices to the gods. This made the Amethyst Dragon King very angry, it kept letting out a growl.

Just at this time, a big crowd of evil spirits arrived in front of the sacrifice altar. Black fog rolled over and over, the gloomy fiendish aura pervaded the air. And the sky was also covered by a black cloud. Not only was there the skeleton birds, there were also many other unknown evil spirits that could fly. All of them were staring at the sacrifice altar fiercely. But none of them had unleashed their attacks yet.

“What’s going on? Why do I feel something fishy is going on.” Someone said with bewildered look, “These monsters are swarming around us, don’t tell me…… are they going to treat us as live offerings?”

The evil spirits kept increasing in numbers. In the end, they let out a shriek. It made this place tremble unceasingly. Even the Amethyst Dragon King seemed somewhat anxious now, it kept raising its head to look around. Through the gap between the evil spirits in the sky, they could see the bloody sun was about to suspend over the ancient city.

When the bloody sun gradually approached the center, the bloody light of the ancient sacrifice altar glinted incessantly. This sacrifice altar that had existed for god knows how many years was crazily drawing the surrounding blood river as if it had come to life. Dazzling rays of light rushed up.

The evil spirits that were besieging them raised an upheaval. Their mournful screech kept resounding non-stop. It seemed like they were watching a live sacrifice from taking place.

Just at this time, the building complex very close to the sacrifice altar suddenly turned chaotic. A violent rumbling noise resounded, the most majestic former residence in the center suddenly collapsed. The mournful screech was deafening, it seemed like another unique monster was born.

Everyone were overwhelmed with shock. This is something that never happened before since they entered the ancient city. Right now, even though many former residences were letting out a bizarre sound, they haven’t collapsed yet.

Following that, a streak of white light rushed out. They could only see a hairy and adorable little critter jumping from the rooftop of one building to another. The snow-white little critter was panting with rage while blinking its pair of glittering big eyes. It looked at that ruins and let out a “Squeak! Squeak!” sound that transmitted to everyone’s ears. ⌈1

“Shriek……!” The screech of the malicious spirit caused the evil spirits in the sky to tremble. They almost fell onto the ground. They could only see a tall man wearing ancient armor crawling out from that ruins.

“Ah……!”

“How could this be?!”

“That is……”

Everyone turned pale with fright. Because that was a headless angel, and yet it was actually able to let out a sound. Moreover, he had a pair of golden wings, that means he must be a god as depicted in legends! Why was he in the former residence? And where did his head go? But after a careful observation, they couldn’t sense a trace of holy aura from him. His entire body was brimming with terrifying baleful aura.

The headless golden-winged angel threw itself at the snow-white little critter. It destroyed that former residence in a flash, endless amount of smoke and dust were blasted into the air. The little critter seemed to be extremely fast, the headless angel’s golden wings were actually unable to catch up. In the end, the little critter rushed into another former residence, the headless angel also followed into the residence.

Every former residences had a super powerful monster in it. Along with the collapse of a few former residences, several monsters wearing ancient peasant clothing already rushed out. One couldn’t find anything special about them, but their terrifying strength made people felt very fearful. They were so much stronger than those evil spirits everyone had encountered before.

A seemingly very adorable snow-white little critter actually made such a huge ruckus. And it was actually able to come out in one piece even after entering a few former residences. It was completely inconceivable.

“Keke……!” Xiao Chen cried out in fear. He already recognized Keke, he absolutely never thought of the possibility that the little critter had actually entered the ancient city too.

Some people had seen this little critter following Xiao Chen before. They suddenly recalled it at the moment. But they never thought this little critter was so mystical. One must know that many practitioners who entered the former residences never seen the light again. They were reduced to the evil spirit’s ration. But this adorable little critter actually ran inside again and again, it really made everyone speechless.

Not only does it seem to be fearless, it appeared to be panting with rage. It was extremely cute and mystical.

Keke heard Xiao Chen calling out its name, it blinked its glittering eyes and looked over. After that, it ran over cheerfully as if it had found its close relative. It stepped on one after another former residences along the way.

Things have gotten really rowdy. The golden-winged headless angel and other monsters pursued at the rear, they frantically destroyed several haunted house along the way. The smoke and dust soared into the heavens at that area.

Everyone was completely dumbstruck, this little critter…… was too unrestrained. Or was it because it was too pure and adorable? It actually rushed over here without a care in the world, all the while stirring up such a huge commotion on the way. Everyone was completely speechless.

While Xiao Chen was feeling anxious for Keke, he was also secretly guessing at the same time; Could those few people behind the golden-winged headless angel be celestial beings back in those time? After all, he was able to recognize one of them before. Even though these few people had unfamiliar faces, it was hard to say they don’t have similar status.

“Rumble!”

One after another former residences collapsed in succession. Keke was almost caught by one evil spirit, Xiao Chen was extremely nervous. In the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to jump out of the sacrifice altar to provide support for Keke.

“Don’t go!” Lawrence and the woman shrouded in colorful mist stopped him at the same time. Xiao Chen was stopped by the power of Space and Time.

Fortunately, Keke was in good health. Moreover, it actually had enough time to angrily wave its little paw at the golden-winged angel.

In the end, Keke transformed into a streak of white light with a swish. It actually flew across a few dozen meter in the sky. It directly passed the blockade in front of the sacrifice altar, and leaped one more time to jump over the blood river. Then it ran towards the top of the sacrifice altar.

Keke was really too mystical. Its entire body was snow-white, that spotlessly white fur was flickering with a crystal clear luster. It was as if the fur was carved out attentively from soft and pure agate. Adding on to that, its pair of glittering big eyes made it extremely adorable. This little critter was seriously a goblet of intelligence.



 


  1. Silva: …. What the hell?! Was Keke sleeping in that house? puhahaha, this little critter never failed to impress XD 

Chapter 96 – Amethyst Dragon King



The dragons that are currently attacking the divine monolith at the core of the ancient city noticed the abnormal situation in this area. A Monarch Lion Dragon with golden scales all over its body rushed over. It opened its mouth and spouted a golden ray. The blazing radiance made the practitioners unable to open their eyes.

The mournful screech of ghosts resounded. Hundreds of skeleton birds fell from the sky, their feathers fluttered about and danced in the sky. In the face of the king of dragons, the Monarch Lion Dragon, all the skeleton birds flew off like rockets. And that thirty meter tall demon was also dominated by the Monarch Lion Dragon’s intimidating aura, it stopped its footstep.

The Monarch Lion Dragon let out another roar, a golden rain of light fell from the sky, its target was the gigantic demon. The rain of light was as terrifying as unstoppable sword-qi. The huge demon had no other choice but to fall back at lightning speed.

However, it seemed like the Monarch Lion Dragon did not plan to let him go. It suddenly swooped down from the sky, a streak of enormous golden ray cuts through the void like lightning. Everyone felt their vision blurred. After that, they heard a loud “splashing” sound. The billows from the blood river soared into the sky, the Monarch Lion Dragon actually swept the huge demon into the blood river.

When the demon let out a mournful screech, bubbles surfaced on the blood river as if it was boiling. The demon struggled violently, it seemed like a monster was pulling his huge body into the river. The bloody waves rolled over and over. It finally calmed down after a while, that thirty meter huge demon was silenced in the blood river.

The Monarch Lion Dragon in the sky coldly swept its eyes across the young practitioners. But it didn’t attack them, the reason it rushed over here was to wipe out the evil spirits. In the end, the majestic Monarch Lion Dragon flickered with golden radiance, and ran towards the core of the ancient city in the sky.

Not far away, the three skeletons slowly reassembled their framework, and exercised their joints. The survivors were in a dreamy state, to find a way out from a desperate strait, all of them were brimming with joy.

However, their smiles were frozen again in the next instant, because a gloomy fiendish aura pressed towards this place once more. Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang were extremely fast at this moment, they reassembled their framework with a “clattering” sound, and then rushed beside Xiao Chen in the blink of an eye.

At a distant place, fifty plus Yin Warriors adorned with the ancient armor were closing in one step at a time. Although the bronze and iron spear in their hands were rusty, they still contained a skyrocketing murderous aura. It was as if they had vowed to massacre anything in their paths, even if it was a Dragon King.

And behind the Yin Warriors, there was another fifty Celestial Warriors. They were also wearing similar ancient armor that carried the vicissitudes of time. They looked almost like an ancient fossil. The killing intent was similarly skyrocketing.

Everyone did not know how powerful was the Celestial Warrior, but they had already experienced the strength of the Yin Warrior. And now so many of the Yin Warriors and Celestial Warriors had come together, it was impossible for them to resist.

Moreover, the eyes of these Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors were very clear. This means that they are very clear-headed. The Yin Warriors they killed earlier were far from comparable to these warriors! It was very possible that any of these Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors could wipe the floor with them!

Xiao Chen lamented inwardly. This is really a ghost town, even if the deity ventured too deeply, they might not be able to leave without a hitch.

“Let’s run!” Someone shouted. All of them ran forward along the ancient street. Facing this many Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors head-on was equivalent to suicide.

It was not only the Celestial Warrior and Yin Warrior that were closing in, those skeleton birds that were scattered by the Monarch Lion Dragon started to gather together and flew towards this region once more. Even the Spell Master and Psychic had no other choice but to fly at low altitude, otherwise they’d be sitting ducks for the several hundreds of skeleton birds.

Xiao Chen and the rest were running quickly on the ancient street, this moment was indeed a great escape with their life on the line. Even though the Yin Warrior and Celestial Warrior’s pace were not fast, they still closed in the distance with ease, as if they possessed the Ground Shrink ability.

The skeleton birds in the sky were increasing in numbers. Already a few hundreds were assembled. They started to launch their attacks on Xiao Chen and the gang again. At the same time, evil spirits lingering with black fog rushed out from the alleys every now and then. God knows just how powerful were these evil spirits. They also gathered in the same place and chased after the group of practitioners. ⌈1

At the central zone. The divine monolith trembled violently. The entire ancient city shook slightly. And the door of many former residences also opened with “creaking” sounds at this time. That was a very bad signal, it seemed like the monsters that always remained idle until now were finally making their move.

At the same time, waves of trembling sound transmitted from a distant place, it sounded like the stampede of numerous huge monsters.

At this moment, the baleful aura in the ancient city skyrocketed, the deathly aura filled the air, all the evil spirits became restless. Xiao Chen and the rest felt they were caught up in a desperate strait, if this goes on, where else could they run to? It was only a matter of time until they were wiped out.

The cry of a young dragon transmitted over. That’s right. It was a soft and immature cry. That was obviously the cry of a young dragon. With a flash of purple light, a one meter long young dragon rushed over, it was shrouded by purple clouds. Its appearance was very much identical to the legendary Qilin.

It possessed a deer-like and horse-like body, four wolf-like feet, and dragon scales, but it also possessed some distinctive differences from the legendary Qilin; It had a crocodile-shaped divine tail. The resplendent purple radiance was glorious, its scales were gorgeous, and the pair of amethyst horn on the side of its head resembled the antler. Its head looked just like the legendary Ancestral Dragon’s!

It was actually the Amethyst Dragon King, many practitioners here had once encountered this little dragon. And Yan Qing Cheng, along with Carlos and Wharton, even tried to ambush this Syndicate Dragon King. But they still failed to subdue it in the end.

Although the young Amethyst Dragon King was only one meter long, it emitted a powerful dragon-qi. It possessed a pressure worthy of the king of the beast. It looked at everyone vigilantly, and then cheerfully ran beside the mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist. It intimately rubbed against the side of the mysterious woman. ⌈2

This outcome made everyone stupefied. The Amethyst Dragon King was actually subdued by her!

That was but the first Dragon King they encountered on this dragon island, it might be the very first Syndicate Dragon King to be born. That means it might be the young Ancestral Dragon’s most powerful adversary. So much so that it might even take down the young Ancestral Dragon and replace it. If it can grow up smoothly, it will definitely become a terrifying existence that even the god don’t dare to provoke.

The young Amethyst Dragon King turned around and ran forward. It seemed to be guiding the mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist.

“Everyone follow me.” The mysterious woman’s angelic voice transmitted outwards, then she ran after the Amethyst Dragon King.

The monsters and evil spirit behind them continued the chase, and as for those skeleton birds in the sky that saw the young Syndicate Dragon King, they started to hesitate. They were afraid of drawing the attention of those fully grown dragons behind the young Dragon King.

The Yin Warriors and Celestial Warriors did not stop, and those evil spirits covered by black fog were even more fearless, they also quickly closed in. The Amethyst Dragon King suddenly turned its body around. Purple divine flame pulsed all over its body, then it let out a roar towards the evil spirits at the rear.

Although its gentle cry was soft and immature, when it gets angry, the roar was as ear-splitting as the sudden clap of thunder that resounded in the heavens. It caused those evil spirits to slow down their footsteps in the twinkling of an eye. The Amethyst Dragon King’s appearance made them recall some ancient memories.

Everyone had noticed, the young Amethyst Dragon King actually led everyone to the vicinity of the divine monolith. It caused many evil spirits to stop advancing as a result. Only the Yin Warriors and Celestial Warriors chased after them with a pace that was not too slow nor too fast.

“Can this Dragon King be trusted?” Someone raised a question.

The young Amethyst Dragon King turned its head around to take a glimpse at the practitioner and let out a growl. It was very sensitive to sound, and possessed expressions like that of a human. This made Xiao Chen thought about Keke, that adorable little beast couldn’t still be sleeping right? Let’s hope nothing bad happened to it.

“If we don’t believe it now, then what other choice do we have?” Someone refuted.

“You guys just keep moving, it will not do harm to us.” The mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist had a really gentle voice, while advancing as if she was flying, she gently caressed the dragon horn of the Amethyst Dragon King.

“How did you subdue it?” Someone finally couldn’t resist and asked. One must know many people originally planned to subdue this Amethyst Dragon King. But all of them failed in the end.

The mysterious woman was flabbergasted as she said, “I have never subdued it. I only treated it as a friend, that’s why it would frequently appear beside me when we were at the mountain woods out there. But… I never thought it also entered the ancient city, it seemed to be showing us the way now.”

The practitioners looked at each other in dismay when that heard what she said. The mysterious woman had such a pure characteristic, she actually obtained the trust of the Amethyst Dragon King like this. It seriously made people jealous and envious of her. But some people were not convinced, if not for the Dragon King, then for what reason would she enter the dragon island. ⌈3

“I wonder why you guys were always at each other’s neck, especially you, Solitary Sword Demon. If I didn’t stop you several times, you might have killed even more.” The mysterious woman had some complaints for the Solitary Sword Demon.

These words caused to other practitioners to feel amazed. Could this girl really be that pure-hearted? Could she really be an oddball from some noble family? Even though they have their doubts, they didn’t think about it too much. It is more important to run for their life now.

“Hmph!” The Solitary Sword Demon only gave a snort in return.

Xiao Chen felt all the more familiar with this mysterious woman, but he just couldn’t recall where he met her before. ⌈4⌋ He had seen many female practitioners on this dragon island, perhaps she was among one of them.

As they were talking, everyone had already been led by the young Amethyst Dragon King to the vicinity of the divine monolith. But of course, the so-called “vicinity” was a place where the energy rays couldn’t reach. Rays of light flickered in front of them, the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, Brass Trigrams, etc were still bombarding the divine monolith. High up in the sky, there were even more dragons……



 


  1. Silva: Even I wanted to cry now, the situation seemed more hopeless than ever… 
  2. Silva: Gasp… she subdued the Dragon King! 
  3. Silva: 120% confirmed, she is Lan Nuo!!!
    Chanayh: Why?
    Silva: Who else can she be other than Lan Nuo? It can’t be possible for her to end up in a different place from Xiao Chen and Zhao Lin Er, she opened the portal after all. 
  4. Silva: Oh c’mon, are you a blockhead? It’s Lan Nuo I tell ya! 

Chapter 95 – Desperate Straits



“Overlapping Space!” Lawrence saw how the Law of Time slowed down the Yin Warrior, his pair of eyes immediately burned with passion. The void power surged up violently. When the power of space and time merged together, glaring rays of light burst out, it was more powerful than anyone could have imagined.

“Boom!”

The sound of something disintegrated could be heard, a little less than half of the Yin Warrior’s ancient armor was actually burst open. Its sturdy body was exposed to the air, that bronze-colored skin emitted waves of black fog.

Xiao Chen also made his move around this time, he jumped into the sky, and swooped towards the Yin Warrior. He launched the God Slayer Technique without blinking an eyes, a few blazing divine radiance tore the space apart. At the same time, the Solitary Sword Demon also waved his metal sword towards the Yin Warrior. As for Buddhist Yizhen, he shot an incomparably huge Buddha Palm forward.

The Yin Warrior felt dangers approaching, after a part of the armor had been cracked, most of his strength seemed to have dissipated. It waved the ancient bronze spear in its hand to resist the attacks. However, within this glaring rays of light, the remaining armor was thoroughly destroyed. The ancient bronze spear in his hand also snapped in half. His bronze-colored body was exposed to the air, and then his body actually began to age slowly. One after another hideous wrinkles emerged, even his muscles gradually started to wither.

“We finally encountered some living person and not an evil spirit.” The Solitary Sword Demon’s voice was very cold, it seemed like he encountered the evil spirits before. The claw marks on his body were very terrifying.

The Yin Warrior had an incomparably bewildered expression, it seemed like his soul was devoured. Following closely, that weak soul fluctuation in his body disappeared. After that, his sturdy body completely deteriorated, only skin and bones were left in the end. ⌈1⌋ Will-o’-wisp flickered in his pair of eyes, and then an incomparably baleful aura burst out from his body.

A practitioner said in surprise, “How did this happen? He lost his life force, and it seemed like…… he transformed into an evil spirit!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep and low growl emitted from the Yin Warrior’s mouth. It seemed like he had obtained a new life as he dashed towards everyone with a sinister look.

Xiao Chen who just fell from the sky was the first to receive the attack. But Xiao Chen was not fearful at all, he had already seen the evil spirit before. As long as it was not those figures from the former residence, or those evil spirits with demonic item like the burial cloth, he should be able to handle ordinary evil spirit.

He attacked with the God Slayer Technique, it seemed as if both of his hands had transformed into Heavenly Blades, they were unstoppable and extremely sharp. The blazing rays of light were swung down, and chopped the corpse warrior’s two arms in an instant. After that, Xiao Chen sent a roundhouse kick and destroyed the corpse warrior’s head, sending him flying away.

The corpse warrior was far weaker without the ancient armor, he was unable to threaten the practitioners at all. The Solitary Sword Demon destroyed that headless corpse warrior with a single strike.

The battle ended like this, everyone understood after actual combat. If they wanted to kill the Yin Warrior, they needed to destroyed the armor first, otherwise they wouldn’t stand a chance.

The place became very quiet, all of them had a really ugly expression. After all, they were only able to kill one Yin Warrior after cooperating as a group. And they saw more than hundreds of Yin Warrior and Celestial Warrior when they entered the ghost town. If all of those warriors were to gang up on them, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In addition to those evil spirit that came out from time to time, as well as those terrifying huge monsters, their situation didn’t seem too bright. After all, there were too many monsters in this ghost town. The Yin Warrior was far from the most threatening, those unknown monsters were what they were most afraid of.

“Why did the Yin Warrior possess life force, but once their armor was taken off, they would die immediately and transform into an evil spirit?” One practitioner raised the question, this was also what puzzled everyone.

“We can tell the ancient city had existed since untold time, and those Yin Warrior might have lived just as long. The reason they were able to live for so long might be because those armor was able to preserve their body in that condition all this time.”

Someone proposed this kind of idea, even though it might not necessarily be true, it still made some sense. This made some people among them gave birth to some schemes. Should they plunder the Yin Warrior’s armor, or gather the broken ancient armor on the ground……

But… without giving them the time to think, the earth suddenly produced a rumbling noise and shook violently. A frosty gale blew over, the building in the vicinity began to tremble, and the wretched fiendish aura surged up violently. The deep and low shriek resembled the explosive thunder that caused people’s soul to tremble.

Without any hesitation, all the practitioners rushed into an alley, and evacuated from this ancient street. Just when they distanced themselves from that area, they could feel enormous monsters passing by. That area shook violently as if an earthquake had just taken place.

“This is much more terrifying than the Yin Warriors, and who knows how many more of these terrifying monsters are out there. Even if a god enter this ancient city, it’s hard to say whether they can get out alive!” One practitioner groaned in fear, he was already somewhat desperate.

The mysterious woman who was shrouded in colorful mist advised everyone with her heavenly voice, “No matter what happens, do not attempt to hide in the former residence.”

Everyone nodded in consent, because many who entered the former residence never came out again. But Xiao Chen had a different feeling from everyone else. He did see a legendary immortal that was enshrined and worshiped in the mortal world with his own eyes after all. And he seemed to be the owner of that deadly residence…… He felt the mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist had also discovered this kind of secret.

“Squawk……!” Gloomy howls resounded above everyone’s head, three skeleton birds were swooping towards them at high-speed. They had skinny body and huge wings, they seemed very ferocious and menacing.

“Hmph! These damnable thing again!” The Solitary Sword Demon snorted coldly. When he brandished his metal sword upward, the space distorted, as if it was about to break into pieces. A “domain” created by his powerful force was launched toward the sky. It emitted a powerful energy fluctuation, and enveloped two skeleton birds in an instant. After that, a bone snapping sound transmitted outwards. The ghost’s feathers filled the sky, shattered skeletal remains fell toward the ground. It was not hard to tell how powerful and terrifying was the Solitary Sword Demon, it made Lawrence at the side couldn’t help but admit the Solitary Sword Demon was stronger than him.

The other skeleton bird was pulled towards the ground by the giant Buddha’s hand created by Buddhist Yizhen. It was then pulverized on the ground. The three skeleton birds were destroyed, but the mysterious woman shrouded in colorful mist helplessly cried out, “We might be in danger.”

Everyone raised their guards. Before the three skeleton birds attacked them just now, it seemed like they were calling out for help. Everyone quickly rushed towards an alley, wanting to leave this area as soon as possible, but it seemed like they were too late. There was no time for them to run.

Waves of chilly wind swept down from the skies, a bone-chilling air enveloped everyone on the ground. The blood-colored sky was filled by the skeleton birds, they plunged towards the ground like a mass of black cloud. There were at least a thousand of them altogether.

How were they supposed to fight like this? Even if all of these evil spirits just drop themselves towards the ground, it was already enough to drown everyone to death. Moreover, each one of them was just as ferocious.

“This is it, we’re done for!” One practitioner was in despair. In the end, he actually rushed into one of the former residences at the side. But… as soon as he entered, a miserable shriek resounded. Following that, the “cracking” sound of bones was transmitted outwards. It seemed like a monster was gnawing at the skeleton of the dead.

Everyone’s face turned pale, nobody else dared to rush into the surrounding former residences. All the practitioners ran forward at high-speed, wanting to get far away from the death threat coming from the sky.

But… even the Psychic and Spell Master capable of flight found that it was a fruitless effort. Those skeleton birds were really too fast, while producing waves of bone-chilling wind, they quickly outflanked the practitioners and cut off their path.

The shadow and chilly wind were everywhere. The mournful sound made people’s scalp feel numb, the chill even ran through their spine. Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang pulled the lower hem of Xiao Chen’s shirt, then they pointed at the blood river in front. After that, the three of them broke themselves into pieces and mingled with the bones on the street. The three of them began to play dead.

“Must we plunge into the blood river?” Xiao Chen thought out loud. There was no need to think much, it was obvious that the blood river was not a benevolent place. Maybe there would be even more ferocious ghosts in the river. However, there was no other way, he could only rush over there.

The skeleton birds swooped down, everyone began to suffer from the relentless attacks. One after another netherworld light spouted from their mouth and were launched toward everyone. Right now, all of them couldn’t help but reveal their most powerful technique. Otherwise, they might perish right here and now.

The woman shrouded in colorful mist used her Law of Time to stop the skeleton birds in the sky. The practitioners below sent one after another dazzling rays of light to rip apart those motionless monsters. After that, the Solitary Sword Demon’s sword-qi also soared into the sky, after an invisible “domain” enveloped those damnable creatures, the sound of cracking bones reverberated unceasingly. The skeletal remains kept falling non-stop.

Xiao Chen’s God Slayer Technique, Lawrence’s Law of Space, and Buddhist Yizhen’s Divine Ability were also exhibited to the fullest extent. The blazing rays of light soared into the sky unceasingly. One after another skeleton birds fell, but there was an endless stream of monsters, it was impossible to annihilate them all.

Few of them were hit by the deathly rays, it left a terrifying wound on their body. Everyone attacked and retreated at the same time, they were gradually rushing towards the blood river not far away.

The rapid blood river smelled incomparably fishy, bloody mist pervaded the air. The smell of rotten corpse assailed everyone’s nostrils. It seriously gave people the impulse to throw up the food they consumed the previous day.

Where else could they run if they don’t plunge into the river? One seriously wounded practitioner couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped into the surging river first, but something frightening happened. As soon as he jumped into the river, a huge shadow quickly rushed over in the blood river. A demonic claw about the size of a millstone grabbed the practitioner. It snapped the practitioner in half on the surface of the water, and then it sunk into the blood river.

This scene seriously scared everyone to death, all of them couldn’t help but feel fearful. This scene was really too scary, they didn’t see what was that creature at all, they only saw a huge demonic claw…… The ghost town was really too frightening.

Waves of chilly wind swept down from the skies, the thousand plus skeleton birds were still swooping down non-stop, but nobody dared to jump into the blood river anymore.

Right now, even Xiao Chen, Lawrence, and the Solitary Sword Demon were wounded. As for Yan Qing Cheng and Rowena, if not for the protection of the woman shrouded in colorful mist, they might be dead a long time ago.

In regards to that mysterious woman who could control the Law of Time, Xiao Chen felt a sense of deja vu for some reason. ⌈2⌋ But he didn’t have the time to think about it at the moment, the evil spirits in the sky pushed him to the edge of danger. Under this kind of circumstances, his God Slayer Technique became more and more refined. He was able to exhibit a terrifying power, the blazing divine radiance kept tearing the monsters in the sky, a large quantity of the skeleton bird’s dismembered body already fell all around him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang……!” The earth was shaking, even the buildings near the blood river were shaking. A huge monster walked over from a distant place. A huge shadow was cast on the ground, the earth trembled for a moment with each steps it took.

That was indeed a terrifying giant demon, it was about thirty meter tall, its humanoid body was covered by white bony scales, only its head was not covered by the scale. A layer of dried skin was sticking close to the skull. What little yellow hair it had swayed with the wind. Its deep eye-sockets were emitting bloody red radiance, it seemed incomparably cruel.

And along his tailbone was a huge tail about ten meter long. It was also covered in bony scales,it looked just like a huge crocodile tail. Along with his movement, the earth trembled violently. The demonic aura spread in all direction, some skeleton birds in the vicinity were scared and flew higher into the sky.

When it rains, it pours. ⌈3⌋ This is the worst case scenario for Xiao Chen and the rest. They were already caught up in a desperate strait due to thousand plus skeleton birds, and now this kind of huge monster came. The situation seemed more hopeless than ever.

“Damn it!” The conceited Solitary Sword Demon couldn’t help but let out a curse, because the feeling of fear rose in his heart. He felt death was fast approaching, it seemed like they really had no way out of this now. ⌈4

“We’re dead…… There’s no hope of survival……” Someone already indulged in grief.

Indeed, under this kind of circumstances, it seriously made people lose all hope.

While killing the skeleton birds that swooped down unceasingly, Xiao Chen looked at everything calmly. He was not fearful in the face of death, he only felt regretful that he couldn’t go explore the land of immortals. Are they going to die in this ancient city? He felt somewhat regretful and unwilling to die.

The earth trembled violently, the thirty meter tall demon already got in front of them, a huge shadow was casted on the ground. He tried to trample everyone with a sinister-looking face.

“Roar……!” All of a sudden, the dragon roar shook the heavens. A glaring golden explosion of light flashed through the sky! ⌈5

Chapter 94 – Spiritual Divine Light



It was already too late for Lawrence’s assistance, all of this happened too fast. Just now he was sent flying very far away, he was too far away from Xiao Chen, the void power wouldn’t be able to reach this area. As for Rowena who was at the sideline, she didn’t have that kind of power.

But just at this time, three streaks of white light rushed into the sky like three streaks of lightning. The three skeletons that didn’t make a move until now finally made their move after Xiao Chen was caught up in danger. Since the battle began until now, the three fellows watched at the sideline, they were unusually calm. It seemed like they were looking for the evil spirit’s weak point.

“Bang!”

They bumped into the evil spirit at the same time, six bony claws violently tore apart the burial cloth, and saved Xiao Chen from the dangers of being wrapped. At the same time, Xiao Chen quickly took action. After his legs clashed a few times with the evil spirit’s legs, he sent a horizontal slash towards the evil spirit’s throat with his left hand.

By the time they landed on the ground, Xiao Chen’s right palm had already broken free from the burial cloth. The three skeletons split up and tore the burial cloth from three different directions. They wanted to tear it apart from the evil spirit’s body.

The burial cloth was a bizarre cursed item, the three skeletons had seen everything clearly, and Xiao Chen already had a profound understanding. He almost paid a huge price because of this just now, he also started to tear the evil cloth that was covered in black bloodstain.

The black netherworld light flickered, the burial cloth actually let out a screech. It was an incomparably mournful screech, just hearing it caused people’s scalp to feel numb. The black fog violently rolled over and over in this alley.

“Shriek……!” The evil spirit seemed very anxious, the burial cloth trembled violently in hope of destroying Xiao Chen and the rest.

Just at this time Lawrence also rushed over, the overlapping space enveloped it again. The green rays of light made the evil spirit felt as if it was caught up in a swamp.

“Quick! Pull the burial cloth apart, he is not as strong as we thought, his power came from this evil cloth!” Xiao Chen yelled at Lawrence. He was able to uncover this secret during close combat. It was the burial cloth which granted the evil spirit this kind of power.

“What…… The burial cloth?!” Lawrence kept sending the green-colored void power to confine the burial cloth and pulled it outward with all his might.

“Shriek……!” The evil spirit bellowed in rage, the burial cloth that covered its face was already tore apart by Lunhui Wang. Half of its rotten face was exposed. Eerie green light emitted from its eye sockets, and the messy blood-colored hair was spiky. This kind of rotten corpse was especially intimidating. It was a genuine evil spirit.

The evil spirit was getting desperate, if the burial cloth was torn apart, his power will diminish substantially. He struggled intensely, and then spouted a few yellowish gas from his mouth. It transformed into a glaring light sword that attacked Xiao Chen and Lawrence. This was the strongest demonic-qi he accumulated in his body.

It forced Xiao Chen and the rest to fall back.

“Shriek……!” The evil spirit screeched loudly. The instant Xiao Chen and Lawrence were forced to take a step back, he shook the burial cloth with all his might. The inexhaustible aura of death spread all over the place, the black fog rolled, and pushed Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang away in an instant.

“Clatter! Clatter!” The three skeletons’ framework collapsed and scattered on the street. The white bones all over the ground were especially unpleasant to the eyes.

Xiao Chen was downhearted, but his tension immediately loosened up after he notice that framework was not destroyed. They were just separated from the joints, and he actually saw Qinguang Wang’s skull flickering with specks of radiance. It seemed to be telling him that they were fine.

Three cunning skeletons…… Xiao Chen no longer worried about them.

The evil spirit viciously gazed at Xiao Chen and Lawrence. Then it dragged its rotten legs and walked towards them in large strides. Traces of yellowish dead water was left on the surface of the ground. Its full attention was focused on the two people ahead. But just at this time, when he was about to get past the three skeletons’ skull, the skulls jumped up at high-speed, and shot towards the evil spirit like three streaks of white light.

At the same time, Xiao Chen and Lawrence also made their moves. A blazing sword-qi and light rain enveloped the evil spirit.

The evil spirit let out a screech, it waved one demonic claw towards the three skeletons’ skull. The other demonic claw was used to fend off Xiao Chen and Lawrence’s attack. As expected, the skulls were sent flying by him, but three spiritual light shot out from the skulls like three streaks of lightning and pierced the evil spirit’s eyes.

“Shriek…..!” Like it received a devastating attack, the evil spirit suddenly fell to the ground while facing upwards. It rolled around like crazy on the alley.

Without any delay, Xiao Chen rushed over quickly and grasped the burial cloth firmly. And then he pulled it in one breath, the burial cloth flipped over, it produced a flapping sound, and gave rise to thick black fog. It finally separated from the body of the evil spirit. Lawrence also rushed over and used void power to confine the burial cloth in a tiny space.

After losing the burial cloth, the evil spirit’s body was completely exposed. It was a truly frightening scene. Half of its body was completely swollen, it was already rotten. And the other half was like a dried up tangerine skin. The parched skin was sticking to the framework which gave off a black light.

It was sinister and scary!

The evil spirit was still rolling on the ground, Xiao Chen took a step forward. He stepped on the evil spirit’s neck ruthlessly. With a “snap”, the sinister ghost head tumbled down. At the same time, three spiritual light rushed out from the evil spirit’s eyes, and entered three skulls on the ground.

The evil spirit which had its head and body separated still did not become motionless. It actually struggled to get free, its headless body stood up straight, and pounced on Xiao Chen as fiercely as before. After losing the burial cloth, it was far weaker than its former self. It was already unable to threaten Xiao Chen’s life.

Xiao Chen jumped high into the sky, he moved his hands unceasingly, and then threw the seal downward with all his might. A blazing divine radiance descended, and then with a “boom”, the evil spirit was torn apart.

Even though they knew the evil spirit wouldn’t pose any threat to them after losing the burial cloth, Lawrence was still very shocked to see this killing move of Xiao Chen. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why did I never see you use this killing move before?”

Xiao Chen descended from the sky, and said, “How would I dare to use it before, this is a technique I saw on the fence around the divine monolith. It seemed to be the legendary God Slayer Technique. I never practiced it before, how would I dare to use it on the evil spirit? Just now I felt there was no more dangers, so I’m just using it as a test. Who could have thought that the God Slayer Technique was this powerful. Indeed, the better secret technique requires one with compatible ability to exhibit its full potential.

“Is that so……” Lawrence smiled slightly with his somewhat sickly yet handsome face. He had recorded many diagrams regarding the space from the fence at that plaza. It will surely be beneficial if given some time.

And Xiao Chen had also recorded quite a few killing moves. Not only was there the God Slayer Technique, there were also the Chaotic Three-Way Patterns, Eight Laws of Demon Suppression, etc.

After the evil spirit was ripped apart, the black fog dissipated quickly. Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng also came closer at this time. They felt very fearful just looking at the remains on the ground. And Xiao Chen destroyed the head with another attack.

Lawrence opened up the sealed space, and threw the burial cloth onto the ground. All of them could feel a bizarre energy fluctuation.

Yan Qing Cheng was watching this battle from the sideline all along, she seemed somewhat excited. She couldn’t help but start to talk, “This burial cloth was handed down from ancient times, not only was it still in good condition to this day, it is bearing a frightening demonic-qi and powerful energy. It was definitely stained by the blood of an extraordinary figure.”

“Not bad, it was definitely encroached by the blood of a super powerful experts. Otherwise it wouldn’t be this terrifying and bizarre.” Lawrence spoke until here, then he turned his attention to the three skeletons at the side, and said, “It was thanks to the three of them. Otherwise we would be in a really dangerous situation just now. It never occurred to me that their spiritual lights are so strong. This is clearly a sign that they will be able to evolve into Sovereign Kings.”

The three skeletons slowly assembled their framework. After that, they stretched their joints comically. But everyone clearly looked at them differently now, these three skeletons were definitely a perfect example of disguising oneself as swine to eat the tiger.

“Was it really a ghost? I couldn’t feel any soul fluctuation from their body……” Lawrence whispered to himself. The condition of his injury was getting worse after this battle, he seemed a little weak.

Xiao Chen also pondered for a while before he opened his mouth and said, “Maybe it was because the baleful aura in the ghost town was too heavy, which stirred up the residual thoughts within those corpse, and took shape of such a terrifying evil spirit. Perhaps…… the ghosts in the folklore were formed like this.”

Soon after, their gaze fell back to the burial cloth again. Judging from how easily Xiao Chen destroyed the evil spirit in the end, the evil spirit was not really that strong. The only reason they were unable to defeat it in the beginning was because this bloodstained burial cloth increased the power of the evil spirit.

“This adult evil spirit is not much stronger than the young evil spirit we eliminated earlier. It was only because of this cursed item, how do we deal with it?” Lawrence asked Xiao Chen.

In regards to this kind of demonic item that was filled with fiendish aura, no one had a favorable impression of it. Nobody was willing to use it as weapon. It didn’t seem too likely for it to be refined either. Perhaps only an evil spirit would be able to refine it.

“How about giving it to the three of you?” Xiao Chen looked towards Qinguang Wang and the other two skeletons.

“Clack! Clack!” The three skeletons moved their jaws unceasingly. They waved their hands to refuse. At the same time, the lotus insignia on their foreheads emitted resplendent divine radiance. It made their framework appear as bright as the white jade, not a single trace of sinister aura could be found. On the contrary, they looked like the most perfect masterpiece under the heaven.

All of them thought it was weird, skeletons brimming with divine aura, it was really strange.

In the end, they used a slab to cover the burial cloth in the alley, then they quickly left this place. But… when they were about to turn at a corner, Xiao Chen clearly heard the door of a former residence opening with a “creak”. He suddenly turned around to take a look. He only saw a man wearing ancient cloth, he pulled that burial cloth from under the slab quickly, and floated back into the former residence.

In that instant, Xiao Chen felt a chill down his spine, because he saw the real face of that person clearly in the last second. It was actually a legendary immortal that had a golden statue in the human world! But… within that instance, he didn’t feel any immortality on the other party’s body. He also didn’t feel any soul fluctuation, there was only a sinister baleful aura.

Xiao Chen quickly caught up with Lawrence and the rest, leaving that alley behind him. However, he was unable to remain calm, just what kind of place was this ancient city? Why…… Why did it become like this?! Just now, he definitely didn’t see wrongly. His state of mind fluctuated violently, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn’t tell Lawrence and the rest what he saw earlier, because that will only increase the anxiety.

They pushed their way through the ancient street, Xiao Chen became more cautious than ever. They remained at a respectful distance from the door of every former residences. It was hard to say what would be hiding in the former residence, it was even harder to predict what kind of dangers exist in this ancient city.

All of a sudden, waves of yelling noise entered their ears. The sound of battle was transmitted from an ancient street not far away, it seemed like there were quite a few people.

“The line is empty, sit empty, silent movement are all empty. It would go head to head. Like the cranial longitudinal sword cut spring……”

Xiao Chen heard Buddhist Yizhen’s voice. He walked out from this alley, and looked towards that ancient street. He only saw seven to eight practitioners having a fierce battle with two Yin Warriors. Buddhist Yizhen and Solitary Sword Demon were among them, they had laid down their desire for revenge at this moment, and worked together to confront a powerful enemy. Even that mysterious woman who was shrouded by colorful mist was among them.

The Yin Warrior was like an ancient fossil, their entire body was covered by the armor. He was standing at the same spot without moving an inch. The ancient bronze spear in his hand emitted one after another brilliance. It gave a hard time for a few young experts.

If it was not because the woman who was shrouded by colorful mist using the Law of Time to slow down its movement, those few people would already be in a dangerous situation. The Solitary Sword Demon was showing off his ability like a sharp sword, and the sword in his hand even caused the space to distort. His long sword emitted a whistling sound. He was definitely the strongest among the group.

Buddhist Yizhen seemed transcendental, when he was soaring in the sky, he seemed like the Gods and Buddhas. Lotus flower light were actually floating in his immediate surrounding. His entire person was brimming with Buddha nature. Thousands of Buddha Palm kept attacking that Yin Warrior. After he received enlightenment from the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, he had successfully transformed. He is not much weaker than Solitary Sword Demon now.

Xiao Chen and Lawrence walked forward with large strides, their only hope for survival now is to work together. They decided to join the fighting group.

They had no choice but to admit, the Yin Warrior was indeed very strong. Only one of them was able to resist eight young experts, and it seemed like he was not very clear-headed. He definitely had a super terrifying strength. They were unable to read his state of mind, he looked like a stone statue no matter how they looked at him. One person fighting against eight experts, and he was still as silent and indifferent as in the past……

Chapter 93 – Burial Cloth



Lawrence’s green battle space opened widely, the stinky odor of the corpse spread all over the place. Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng who were at the back almost threw up. Even the three skeletons seemed to hate this kind of fiendish aura very much. They hid at a place the wind could not reach.

Only after a long time later did the alley return to peace.

“Let withdraw from here quickly.” Xiao Chen took the lead and rushed towards another alley. The rest followed him closely. They knew these thing were very formidable, just now they only killed a “young evil spirit”, if they were to encounter a normal adult “evil spirit”, whether they could win or not was hard to say.

Especially that evil spirit that was wearing a burial cloth from before. If it really appeared in front of them, then it will certainly be a very terrifying thing.

“Hide!” Xiao Chen quickly rushed into the shadow of an alley. The few people behind him also concealed themselves. He discovered dangers ahead of time, it was a response originated from spiritual sense, it was one’s natural instinct to seek luck and avoid calamity. This was the pure spiritual awareness of a practitioner that had reached a certain level.

Just at this time, a chilly wind brushed past in the sky. The sound of wind blowing sent a chill down people’s spine. One figure quickly flew past on the top of the alley.

Although it flew past at high-speed, the few people here were not weak either, so they were able to see what kind of creature it was in an instant. Their complexion changed over and over again. That was a human figure with a pair of grayish wings, but his head seemed like a skull. There was only a layer of dry skin sticking on it. Its eye sockets were incomparably empty, it seemed very frightening. That was definitely not a god-like existence like the Fallen Angel, it was like a genuine “Birdman” that was already dead. However, he could soar in the sky freely.

The chilly wind rose again, cold air enveloped the area. The few of them went into hiding again. There were three birdmen flying past this time.

“This is really such a damned place!” Even Xiao Chen who had willpower as strong as steel exposed this kind of feeling.

All of a sudden, Qinguang Wang and the other two skeletons were getting restless. They fixed the spiritual light in their pair of eyes at the other end of the alley.

The three skeletons seemed to be very sensitive to the baleful aura in the ghost town. They actually detected it earlier than Xiao Chen and the others this time.

They only saw a shadow slowly extending over from the ground. Soon after, a bone-chilling wind was blown here. Following closely, the burial cloth that was carrying a fiendish aura exposed itself from the corner of the alley. It was flapping along with the wind. Everyone felt their scalp had gone numb, this terrifying monster still chased after them in the end. They originally thought they had already broke away from it.

The original color of the burial cloth was already unable to be distinguished, because it was brimming with the black bloodstain. It produced a “flapping” sound along with the chilly wind, the gloomy alley was so frightening and bizarre. The baleful aura bubbled up violently for an instant, a lofty and awe-inspiring shadow turned around from the corner.

His entire body was shrouded in darkness. A black fog was drifting at that place. And his body was wrapped thoroughly by that burial cloth. It was hard to see his real face clearly. Only a pair of eyes could be seen clearly, it was throbbing like a bluish-green will-o’-wisp. No fluctuation of soul could be detected, there was only the stinky smell of rotten corpse, as well as that baleful aura.

They couldn’t run away anymore. This evil spirit had clearly locked onto them already, they could only settle this once and for all.

That lofty shadow walked without making any sound, only the frightening flapping sound of the burial cloth could be heard. A pair of deathly eyes stared at Xiao Chen and the gang.

“Do it!” Xiao Chen was fearless, he faced the bone-chilling wind and dashed forward. The North Star light screen appeared in his left hand, it transformed into a seven starlight shield and protected him. The crescent light blade also appeared in his right hand, the rays of light was extremely glaring, it was just like a genuine divine sword.

The crescent light blade drew a beautiful trajectory. It was like a comet streaking across the sky from outer space. The resplendent divine radiance illuminated the entire dusky alley. It went straight for the evil spirit’s neck. The black fog was dispersed, the evil ghost’s lofty body was exposed. With the black burial cloth winding around, it looked like an imposing tombstone.

“Cling! Clang!” The ear-piercing metallic sound caused the eardrums to ache. The evil spirit’s right hand was as fast as lightning, it gave rise to a chilly wind that shielded its neck, and deflected the crescent light blade.

That was an adamantium-like demonic claw. A layer of black skin was sticking on the parched joint. It was a genuine claw of the evil spirit. Just looking at it made one’s scalp feel numb.

Brilliant rays flickered, the crescent light blade turned around, its speed had reached the peak, and targeted the evil spirit’s chest. At the same time, Lawrence moved both hands repeatedly, a prison made of void power fell towards the ominous ghost from the sky at high-speed.

The ominous ghost did not shrink back at all. On the contrary, it took large strides forward. The right demonic claw deflected the crescent light blade once more. At the same time, the left hand stretched forward. It actually destroyed the green cage on top of its head with raw power. The heavy smell of rotten corpse pervaded the air. His left hand and right hand was substantially different. The left hand was incomparably swollen, it was like the hand had been soaked in water for too many days. It was very bloated and bulky, but the power it possessed was not much weaker than the right hand.

Lawrence and Xiao Chen cast a glance at one another, this evil spirit was too powerful. Perhaps they would have a hard time against it. However, there was no point in running, their only hope of survival was to fight to the death.

Xiao Chen raised the level of his secret technique to the limit. His long black hair fluttered hysterically. After that, the North Star light screen in his left hand and the crescent light blade in his right hand merged together. The seven stars were embedded into the crescent moon. The light blade became incomparably bright. It was being held in Xiao Chen’s right hand.

He dashed forward without fear. His tall and straight body left behind one after another afterimages like the flickering light and passing shadows. The first slash was sent towards the evil spirit’s waist. He obviously wanted to chop the evil spirit in half at the waist. The evil spirit seemed to be aware of Xiao Chen’s power and the sharpness of the light blade. It didn’t use its demonic claws to block this time, and quickly dodged to the side. After that, it sent a sharp claw towards Xiao Chen’s heart.

After Xiao Chen’s power increased, what improved the most was his speed. He made a somersault without the time to ask a question. ⌈1⌋ He jumped high into the sky in that instant, and avoided the demonic claw. And with the head and legs upside down, he swooped downwards. The light blade in his hand emitted a glaring divine radiance, he slashed vertically at the evil spirit below.

The evil spirit let out a growl. It fell back one step at a time, huge cracks appeared with every steps it took. One could imagine just how much pressure he was bearing.

Just at this time, Lawrence also raised his void power to the limit and made his move. The green light screen broke up this place into several pieces. It took shape of a few overlapping spaces. Not only did he temporarily sealed the evil spirit’s path to retreat, he even wanted to use this kind of space to rip the evil spirit apart.

“Creak! Creak……!”

The evil spirit’s body produced this kind of sound. It seemed like the bones in his entire body was dislocated. It tried to resist being crushed by Lawrence’s void power.

This provided Xiao Chen with a golden opportunity. Even though his body was tall and straight, its movement was like the wind and lightning. Moreover, it was as agile as the light and shadow. Xiao Chen twisted his body in the air, and sent another slash towards the evil spirit that was temporarily trapped.

The evil spirit’s body was bounded, but both of its hands were able to break free. It crossed its hand to block the incoming attack from the sky, then it let out an angry growl. Waves of black fog spouted towards the sky from its mouth.

Xiao Chen’s body emitted rays of light, a layer of light screen protected his body like a shield. He was not afraid of those undead miasma invading his body.

“Cling! Clang!”

The light blade firmly hacked onto that swollen demonic claw. Even though the netherworld light flickered and protected the evil spirit, after Xiao Chen’s light blade and North Star Constellation merged, it was seriously too sharp, it actually left a deep cut, that bloated demonic hand was almost chopped off. The yellowish dead water splashed everywhere. The light blade was stuck between the bones on the demonic hand.

“Shriek……!” Even though it was an evil ghost, it seemed like he was able to feel pain, and let out a bone-chilling screech. And then with a “boom”, it broke free from Lawrence’s overlapping space, and was about to pounce on Xiao Chen who was falling from the sky.

Xiao Chen’s movement was too nimble, he flipped over like a gale, and got back to the upright position, then he used his leg to firmly kick on the pair of wide open demonic claws before he tumbled towards the ground. Everything was performed smoothly.

“Shriek……!” The evil spirit let out a bellow of rage. After being stepped on by Xiao Chen’s foot, that sharp light blade that was embedded on its demonic hand actually disintegrated, and the shockwave actually destroyed one of its demonic claw. The yellowish dead water splashed all over the place.

The burial cloth flapped along with the wind, the evil spirit let out a screech, the bluish-green radiance throbbed violently in its pair of eyes. Its destroyed left hand actually became swollen again. After that, the broken hand actually regenerated. Another rotten ghost hand reemerged in good condition.

Xiao Chen sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Lawrence furrowed his brows, and said, “His power is indeed very frightening. If not because he is not very bright, our condition might be worst.”

“Shriek……!” The evil spirit let out a screech and ran towards them. It gave rise to waves of black fog, the ground actually started to shake when it ran with all its might, one after another huge cracks appeared on the ground. One could imagine just how much power it possessed.

“Thousandfold Overlaps!” Lawrence’s handsome yet sickly face welled up with the color of blood. He had executed his most powerful technique. The void power trapped the evil spirit, and the folding space tried to tear it apart.

“Unite!” Xiao Chen took large strides forward, his eyes were as sharp as the cutting edge of a sword. The light blade in his hand seemed to have melted, and became one with his right palm. The light blade was all pulled back into his palm. The right palm shone with a divine radiance, it was almost transparent. The mark of North Star Constellation was on the back of the hand. The hollow of his palm was filled with a full moon.

“Bang!!”

A palm blade firmly sliced the evil spirit’s tiny arm, a terrifying wound appeared in place, and dead water rushed forth. The radiance flickered, and the palm blade left behind one after another afterimages. Xiao Chen entirely transformed into a streak of light beam. He revolved around the sluggish evil spirit and kept attacking non-stop.

It was being torn apart by the overlapping space. Even though the evil spirit tried to attack Xiao Chen, it was unable to land any decisive blow. It urgently let out an angry screech. Although the netherworld light that sprung up from its dead body blocked the palm blade, it still received heavy injuries.

Xiao Chen’s light palm caused Lawrence to feel deeply startled. If he was not facing this terrifying evil spirit, but a practitioner on the same level, Xiao Chen’s strength would be unparalleled!

However… the evil spirit’s power exceeded Lawrence and Xiao Chen’s expectation. The burial cloth abruptly trembled, a thick deathly aura spread over a large area. The netherworld light destroyed Lawrence’s void power, the green overlapping space faded away instantly. Lawrence was sent flying by his own disordered power. Trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

And Xiao Chen was also forced backwards by the powerful force. To make it even worst, the evil spirit was targeting him. It left behind an afterimage in its original position and appeared in front of Xiao Chen. It spread out a pair of demonic claws and sent them downwards.

Xiao Chen frantically raised his power, and evaded at top speed. Then he executed an incomparably powerful counterattack. The shadows of the man and ghost seemed to have tangled together. Apparently, the burial cloth was an extremely powerful cursed artifact. It gave rise to the chilly wind that caused Xiao Chen to feel dizzy. One after another netherworld light intertwined in his surroundings, it seemed like the ghosts were dancing.

The evil spirit was really too strong. It was using the bizarre power of the burial cloth to lay out a “domain” that belonged to him. That was a special “Ghost Domain”. Even if Xiao Chen had unparalleled strength, even if that evil spirit was scared of his light palm, he was still being forced to be on the defensive side.

In the end, he was forced to jump high up into the sky. He wanted to break away from that bizarre ghost domain, but the evil spirit also soared into the sky. It was sticking close to him like a glue. When the demonic claw waved around, one after another deathly light was produced. The netherworld aura tried to engulf Xiao Chen.

“Break!” Xiao Chen shouted loudly, his right palm and the demonic claw came into contact. It was too late for the evil spirit to dodge this time, it could only grab onto Xiao Chen’s palm blade.

“Crick! Crack!”

The sound of bones shattering into pieces could be heard. The demonic claw was actually destroyed. The palm blade that was made from the fusion of North Star and Moon Blade was truly unstoppable. Even the evil spirit suffered a heavy loss. However, just at this time, the burial cloth on the evil spirit’s body flipped over, and quickly wrapped the resplendent divine radiance on Xiao Chen’s right palm. The black fog rolled over and over, which immediately submerged the rays of light. ⌈2

All of this happened too fast, every actions were completed while they were still in the sky. The evil spirit let out a growl. The burial cloth all around its body flipped over, wanting to wrap Xiao Chen within. The black fog flooded the entire alley, the aura of death spread all over the area. This place appeared incomparably frightening.

Xiao Chen struggled to get free with all his might, but the burial cloth was very bizarre. He was actually unable to destroy it. The unstoppable light palm also had a hard time cutting it. It was only a matter of time before Xiao Chen was completely swallowed up.

Chapter 92 – There really is Ghost



Miserable shrieks that caused one’s blood to run cold were transmitted from a distant place. It sounded like someone was ripped apart by unknown huge creatures. Xiao Chen and the gang looked at each other in dismay, the ancient city was getting more and more terrifying, yet they hadn’t encountered one of those hideous organism or demonic creature that roamed about in the ghost town from beginning to end. They knew once they did, they will inevitably be caught up in a life and death situation.

“Can we…… really get away from here?” The extraordinarily beautiful Rowena broke out in cold sweat, her face was somewhat pale.

“Maybe.” Xiao Chen seriously had no idea, this ghost town was clearly enclosed by an extremely incredible ancient spell. Otherwise it was impossible for them to get lost all the time.

“Ah……!”

A miserable shriek resounded from the main street not far away, Lawrence quickly flew over there, and surveyed the surrounding from an alley. After that, his face suddenly twisted, he flew back and shouted, “Not good! I saw those Yin Warriors are also making their moves now.”

They saw several hundreds of Yin Warrior and Celestial Warrior when they entered the ancient city earlier, they seemed like ancient fossils. They once turned a blind eye to numerous practitioners, but they are making their moves now, this is definitely not a good news.

Xiao Chen walked to the other end of the alley to survey, he merely saw two Yin Warriors dragging the corpse of a few practitioners toward a distant location. It seemed like they didn’t spend a great deal of effort to eliminate those practitioners. This is really too terrifying.

“We must think of something, this city is too dangerous for us.” Xiao Chen’s mood was somewhat heavy, it didn’t seem like there was any feasible means to get out of here.

The entire place turned silent for a moment. “What kind of monsters are you? Show yourself!” At a distant place, the Solitary Sword Demon’s voice suddenly transmitted here. It seemed like he ran into trouble. Following closely, waves of terrifying growls was transmitted over, along with the angry roar of the Solitary Sword Demon and the ear-piercing hiss of iron sword tearing the void apart.

After a burst of intense battle, the Solitary Sword Demon let out a long howl. It sounded like he was wounded and ran away. This made Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng change their countenance at the same time, they knew how terrifying was the Solitary Sword Demon. If even he was unable to deal with the vicious thing that appeared within the city walls, then the other people wouldn’t even stand a chance.

Instead of entering those expansive main street again, Xiao Chen and the gang rather forge ahead within the alley. It should be comparatively safer since it was unlikely for the huge monsters to show up here. They were exceptionally careful when passing through the doors of the every residences, because according to the information they gathered, each of those former residence was occupied by a vicious beasts. When they just entered the ancient city, many practitioners were eaten alive within those residences.

Fortunately, the vicious beasts within those former residences did not come out. Otherwise it’d be an incomparably scary event. Just thinking about it, if every vicious beasts in the ancient city were to move, would cause people’s scalp to feel numb.

Within the dusky alley, the pavement was spread with black rocks that had been through the vicissitudes of time. It was emitting an ancient aura. Xiao Chen and the gang turned left and right, but they still couldn’t find a way out. They felt it was impossible to leave this ghost town.

A “Tap! Tap!” sound suddenly reverberated within the alley. The eerie noise filled the quiet alley, it caused Xiao Chen and the gang to feel a nip in the air. Practitioners on their level were all light-footed, so this was definitely not a sound they made.

It sounded like someone who wore wooden clogs was following them unhurriedly. Xiao Chen suddenly turned around, but he didn’t find anything. At the same time, the “Tap! Tap!” sound also faded away.

“Go! Don’t pay much attention to it, we should leave this district as soon as possible.” Xiao Chen knew they finally ran into an unknown demonic beast. They were already being targeted.

Rowena had a worried expression. Yan Qing Cheng who had her power sealed was also unable to remain calm. The two rushed in front of the three skeletons, and ran forward at high-speed. Xiao Chen and Lawrence also raised their speed, while taking precautions at the same time, for fear that the demonic beasts would launch a preemptive strike on them.

“Tap! Tap! Tap……!” The sound suddenly reverberated again, and it actually came from the front.

“Ah……!” Rowena cried out in fear, she immediately turned around and ran, Yan Qing Cheng also didn’t lack behind.

A chilly wind was blown from the front, Xiao Chen and Lawrence raised their power to the limit. Looking at the corner of the dusky alley, they could see a burial cloth flapping along with the chilly wind. More than half of the cloth was exposed, it was emitting a fiendish aura. The “Tap! Tap!” sound came to a halt, they could only see that piece of cloth flapping along with the wind, they couldn’t see the demonic beast that hid at the other corner of the alley.

Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng already hid at the back, Xiao Chen and Lawrence took a glance at each other. They knew it was impossible to break away from that demonic beast now, the other party had already marked them as targets. They could only settle this by force. The two of them walked forward at the same time, the three skeletons also followed them closely. They also felt very restless.

“Ah……!”

A miserable shriek suddenly resounded from a distant place, it was especially frightening in this quiet ancient street. Xiao Chen and the gang immediately halted their footsteps. And that flapping cloth in front also moved away all of a sudden, that nerve-wracking fiendish aura faded away. The sound of the footsteps rushed towards a distant location.

That place turned deathly silent, after a long time later, the few of them were convinced that unknown demonic beast had really left.

“So scary…… How frightening……” Rowena lightly patted her towering breasts, she said with a startled expression, “Although we didn’t see what it was clearly, I knew we were in grave dangers just now.”

“Fortunately, it already left.” Lawrence also let out a breath, he was actually very nervous too. After all, this is a terrifying ghost town that had already snatched away the life of many practitioners.

“Tap! Tap! Tap……!” The sound of the footsteps reverberated in the empty streets once more. It came from their back! The few who just loosened up didn’t even had the leisure to relax, their face immediately froze up.

“Why is this happening……” Rowena’s voice was trembling, Yan Qing Cheng’s face also twisted, they quickly turned around.

This time, Xiao Chen didn’t fall back. He decided to settle this once and for all. The other party had already locked onto them, rather than running with their tails tucked in between their legs, it was better to settle this as soon as possible. As if he had understood his intention, Lawrence followed him and rushed towards the path they came from.

However, when they rushed backwards, they realized in a flash; This doesn’t seem to be the same demonic beast from earlier, because it didn’t possess that nerve-wracking baleful aura, but they could also feel great dangers all the same.

“Swish!”

A huge shadow appeared in the middle of the alley, blocking their path. It looked like a malevolent demon, it was making threatening gestures. Behind that shadow was a pitch-black fog, they couldn’t see a sliver of light. It seemed like the gateway to hell was standing right there.

Without any unnecessary words, Xiao Chen used his hand as a sword, he immediately engulfed it with a resplendent divine radiance, and sent the unstoppable sword-qi slashing forward. Lawrence used the void power to form a rain of light, and enveloped the target.

“Crack! Crack!” The sound of bones snapping could be heard. Following closely, the watery blood splashed everywhere. It was emitting a steaming heat, the scarlet blood flowed along the pavement. This was definitely not a dead person, it was clearly a living creature.

“Gu-lulu…”

One human head rolled out from the black fog, it kept rolling until Xiao Chen’s foot. It had a malevolent appearance, it must had been really terrified when it was still alive.

“Ah……” Rowena who was behind them let out a shriek.

Without taking another glance, Xiao Chen had already recognized this face. This was a young practitioner who was together with them not too long ago. But everyone had scattered all over the place. This person was clearly not killed by their attacks just now. Because his neck seemed to be tore apart, there was also a deep scar on his face.

The black fog ahead was still drifting around, but that huge shadow was already gone. They could vaguely see a figure standing in place within the black fog.

“Swish!”

Rays of light flashed, Lawrence executed his attacks, one after another light screen was pouring down like water curtain. Its target was the black fog. At the same time, Xiao Chen fearlessly stepped forward, the North Star light screen broke away from his left palm and enveloped the black fog.

“Crunch! Crunch……!” It resembled the sound of crunching, this kind of unpleasant noise transmitted from within the black fog. At the same time, the black fog started to dance wildly, it clashed fiercely with the two light screens that was covering it. It wanted to break free.

“Pssh! Pssh!”

It was like the sound of water dripping onto red-hot iron. The point of contact between the black fog and light screen kept producing this kind of noise. At the same time, a nauseating stench wafted through the air. A yellowish dead water flowed out from within the black fog.

“Demonic Beast, it’s a Demonic Ghost!” Rowena cried out in alarm.

“Kill it quick, otherwise it will attract other evil spirits!” Yan Qing Cheng’s face also changed abruptly, she yelled urgently. Although she was Xiao Chen’s enemy, she didn’t wish anything to happen to them now.

Actually, she didn’t need to say anything, Xiao Chen and Lawrence were decisive people, they were already preparing to execute their strongest attacks. Lawrence completely sealed this space, he couldn’t care less about the stench of the corpse now. The space was enveloped by the green light screen. Him, Xiao Chen, and the black fog already found themselves in the bizarre space. This was Lawrence’s battle space.

“Xiao Chen, do it quick, while I am restraining him!”

The ripple-like void power restrained that black fog, and Xiao Chen was not affected at all. The North Star light screen appeared on his left hand again, and due to the fluctuation of his state of mind, the resplendent star on his right hand actually transformed into a crescent light blade.

“Kill!”

The light screen in Xiao Chen’s left hand enlarged, it protected him like a light shield. He quickly dashed forward, the crescent blade in his right hand slashed out like a Heavenly Blade, it ruthlessly tore the black fog apart.

“Wuah……!” And ear-piercing and mournful screech reverberated from within the black fog.

“It seems like the Demonic Beasts are not that strong, both of us are sufficient to get rid of it.” Lawrence’s confidence skyrocketed, he could clearly feel that the opponent was unable to break through his confinement. It was already unable to move the moment he sealed its movement, and Xiao Chen’s powerful attack was unquestionable, it was more than enough to destroy this threat.

The crescent light blade was whirling within the black fog, it resembled a new moon descending between the black cloud. It kept eliminating the darkness. The stench was indeed incomparably nauseating, even when they were holding their breath, they could still feel that nasty odor.

Xiao Chen used his formidable strength to disperse the black fog, a seven to eight year old boy revealed itself. His clothing was very ancient, it was similar to the diagram carved on rock wall. It emitted an ancient aura. He didn’t have a trace of life, his dead-fish eyes were devoid of any light. He was at such an innocent age, yet there was a hint of malicious aura. He firmly fixed his gaze on Xiao Chen and Lawrence. His tattered ancient cloth was already shattered into pieces by the crescent light blade, but his body was not chopped off. His skin already had cracks, it looked just like fish scales. The light blade left one after another marks on his petite body that was as hard as steel. The yellowish dead water precisely flowed out from those tiny wounds.

“It really is a ghost!” Lawrence was somewhat shocked, he believed there was god on earth, because that was the reason why he trained so hard, but he didn’t believe in ghosts. In his opinion, gods were experts that evolved from man, but what is ghost? After death, everything will be lost, everything ought to return to nothingness.

“The existence of undead creatures were reasonable, since their souls were not destroyed, but a ghost……” Lawrence was extremely bewildered as he looked at this young child that emitted the stench of corpse. He couldn’t feel the fluctuation of soul from the body of the other party. There was only a malicious fiendish aura.

“Let’s forget about that for now, we should eliminate it first.” Xiao Chen controlled the crescent light blade to hack at it unceasingly. After losing the protection of the black fog, this fierce-looking “ghost” was not indestructible anymore.

Within the glaring radiance, his two arms were already chopped off by the light blade. During this process, it actually emitted a metallic noise, it was like a clash between metals. Soon after, Xiao Chen beheaded him with all his might, causing his head to tumble-down. It was not worth to take pity on something as ominous as this evil spirit. Going easy on him would only bring disaster upon themselves.

After he was beheaded, this ancient “evil spirit” was actually still struggling. Its body trembled slightly, its head was also trying to roll away. Lawrence didn’t give him the chance to get away. Xiao Chen also didn’t let him slip away, the two worked together to crush his body completely. ⌈1



 


  1. Silva: I actually laughed when these two guy were trying to detain the evil spirit, am I weird? XD  

Chapter 91 – Engraving, Halberd, Wheel, Trigrams, Dragons



In the end, the illusion of the other divine monoliths faded away, only the real “Eternal Restrain: Lost Island” remained. It is currently subduing that “Demonic Well”.

Everyone couldn’t help but suspect whether there were other ancient monoliths similar to the eternal restrain on the dragon island out there? Other people have doubts, but Xiao Chen was sure there were other divine monoliths out there. After all, he had personally seen “Eternal Restrain: Yellow River” before.

The bottomless “Demonic Well” shook violently, it seemed to be connected to another world. It appears as if countless souls are struggling to get free. They rumbled restlessly as if they wanted to get out.

Just at this time, brilliant rays started to erupt from the real divine monolith. It suppressed the dazzling light that was about to burst out from the “Demonic Well”. The magnificent power was incomparably boundless, it spread all over the ghost town like a vast ocean.

The Demonic Well trembled unceasingly, but it never stood a chance against the divine monolith in the first place. The powerful light from the Demonic Well become dimmer over time. And finally, the light retreated back to the Demonic Well with a flash. The huge divine monolith was really bright, it trembled unceasingly, and the diagrams looked as if they had come to life at this moment.

Among the ear-splitting explosive sound, the diagrams from the divine monolith actually flew out from its surface. The dragons, deities, sea of blood, ghost town, and Pure Land interweaves together to form a light screen that covered the Demonic Well, and sealed it underneath.

On this day, the sea area around the dragon island covered the skies, the entire ocean was like a boiling water. The entire island was affected by slight earthquake. On the island, the forest trees danced hysterically, dead leaves swirled in the air, monsters rampaging everywhere, and vicious birds let out a long cry. The ghost town had it worst, a ******* light burst towards the heaven.

On the dragon island, a mountain that had remained silent for many years suddenly bubbled up with a torrent of black fog. The jet-black metal engraving from one side soared into the sky and flew towards the ghost town at high-speed. It left a behind streak of dazzling radiance in the sky.

This metal engraving was only fist sized at first, but when it arrived at the ghost town, it was already as big as a mountain. It lunged towards the divine monolith below. When the divine monolith flickered with brilliant rays, a light screen faced the sky. After the metal engraving rammed onto the light screen, a loud explosive sound was produced. The ten million tonnes of metal engraving was actually sent flying away.

Just at this time, from a mountain range that had collapsed for countless years on the dragon island, a divine halberd burst forth with dazzling radiance. It broke free from the historical remains and soared into the sky. Then it launched towards the ancient monolith in the ghost town.

But it was fended off by the divine monolith with the same method. The ten meter long divine halberd cuts across the void as it was flung towards the sky.

After that, Buddha’s Eternal Wheel on the city gate produced a loud sound similar to the yellow bell. The sound resonated across the heaven and earth. It emitted glaring rays of light and bumped into the ancient monolith at the depths of the ancient city. The ancient divine monolith shook violently, and Buddha’s Eternal Wheel was also sent flying away like a huge meteorite. It left behind a trail of light as it flew towards the distant sky.

Carrying on, another valley on dragon island burst open. A huge brass trigrams split the sky and headed towards the ghost town. It strikes the ancient monolith below with power worth tens of thousands of thunder claps. But… the terrifying power brought about by brass trigrams was unable to shake up the divine monolith. It was sent flying like the former three.

Soon after, the metal engraving, the divine halberd, the Eternal Wheel, and the brass trigrams bombarded the ancient monolith continuously. The explosive sound kept reverberating in the ears, the entire ghost town was shaking. But even so, the divine monolith was not damaged in the slightest. Soon after, two rays of light also came from where the dragons were besieging the ancient city. That came from a hundred meter long Ancestral Dragon’s Horn, it was glinting with multicolored light. The Ancestral Dragon’s Claw was as sharp as the divine blade, it was very dazzling as it tore the sky apart and attacked the divine monolith below.

Today, explosive sound kept reverberating at the ghost town that had remained silent for countless years. Even the sky was covered by the bizarre light. Although the rain of blood stopped a long time ago, it was even more terrifying now. The ancient city was pervaded by an invisible baleful aura.

Under the attack of the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn and divine tools like the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, the ancient monolith trembled violently. And just at this time, all the dragons flew over there. All of their magic spells were aimed at the divine monolith. It was very obvious that their final goal was that Demonic Well. It seemed like that place was connected to an exotic world. Only… It was sealed by the ancient monolith, which prevented the other forces from entering.

The countless amount of skeletons outside the ghost town all looked up at the sky. At this moment, it seemed like they had been embedded with souls. As far as the eyes could see, the sea of bones was enveloped by a layer of dim bluish-green radiance. This was the light of departed spirit. They fused together to form a pressure as great as the furious ocean, and surged up violently towards the dragons in the sky.

The dragons in the sky also didn’t dare to stay idle to look at the dim bluish-green light. One after another divine rays descended, and left many huge cracks on the deathly light screen. They penetrated the light screen and smashed the endless white bones below into pieces.

It was very obvious that these skeleton army was protecting the ghost town. Waves of mournful whistle that made one’s scalp feel numb resounded from the sea of bones every now and then. The sound of ancient battlefield seemed to cut through the time-space continuum and transmitted here. Just by hearing it would cause one’s hair to stand on end. The dragons had no other choice but to spare some of their energy to observe this ancient battlefield.

With the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn, Buddha’s Eternal Wheel, and so on bombarding the divine monolith unceasingly, the ghost town was already shaken up. Xiao Chen and the rest couldn’t stay in the vicinity of the plaza anymore. That place was truly the eye of a hurricane, all the attacks were concentrated over there.

The jet-black metal engraving, the resplendent divine halberd ⌈1⌋, and the ancient brass trigrams were clearly divine artifacts on the same level as Buddha’s Eternal Wheel. They once made an appearance in the legendary tales. There were divine artifacts of unmatched strength.

The Eternal Wheel belonged to Buddha, that was without a doubt. As for the owner of the other divine artifacts, they should be from the same era or at least on the same level. Only… it was unknown whether they were still alive or not. But one thing was certain, the Ancestral Dragon from the past generation was long dead. Otherwise the Ancestral Dragon’s Horn and Claw wouldn’t separate from its main body and showed up by itself.

“The legendary weapons, who was their previous wielder?” A lot of people had this kind of thoughts. Even though they’ve heard of a few divine artifacts, they didn’t really know as to who was their previous wielder.

The divine monolith was already nearing its limit. It seemed like it would fall at any given time. After all, it was bearing powerful attacks from all sides, and still had to seal the Demonic Well underneath, it seemed to be losing its strength to resist. However, just at this time, those fence that encompassed the plaza suddenly erupted with resplendent rays of light that seemed to harmonize with the divine monolith’s radiance. They began to work together to resist the power from the outside world.

“Could those really be tombstone of the ancients?!” Someone cried out in shock. After all, those stone tablet had too much resemblance, and it was in this ghost town and all.

It was just like the stone fence and divine monolith had become one, they formed a dazzling light screen that enveloped the entire plaza. Fortunately, Xiao Chen and the rest had already retreated from the plaza. Otherwise they would be trapped within.

The dragons and divine artifacts seemed like they didn’t want to give up the opportunity today, they kept attacking the divine monolith unceasingly. Xiao Chen and the rest were unable to stand straight at all in the vicinity of the plaza. They quickly retreated, they wanted to use this chance to escape from the ghost town. However, they were unable to find the exit. This ancient city was just like a maze, all the streets seemed so similar, they were tangled up and incomparably complicated. While on the run, they stepped into a hall unknowingly.

In front of the hall with imposing aura, there was a block of jet-black monolith. Three ancient characters were carved on the surface: Demon Execution Hall. This place gave people a distinctive pressure, those three huge characters seemed to have voiced out the purpose of this place.

“Swish!”

A huge shadow flit by, everyone looked up in surprise. A twenty meter tall human-shaped figure stepped across at lightning speed. It disappeared in the gaps of the hall. That couldn’t be a human, he was too big, but his movement was as soundless as the wind. It was difficult to trace him.

A chilly wind brushed past. Among the ancient halls, the bloody doors swayed unceasingly while letting out a creaking sound. It was especially frightening.

Everyone did not pass through the halls, they took a detour and continue onward. However, they didn’t walk too far away from the ancient street. Another ancient and magnificent building appeared before their eyes. There was a similar black monolith standing in front of the hall. Three ancient characters were carved on the surface: Fallen Deity Hall.

This was clearly related to the Demon Extermination Hall. “Extermination” and “Fallen” explained everything.

The survivors felt a nip in the air, nobody dared to scout the area. Everyone took a detour and bypassed this place. After that they slowly forged ahead. They wanted to escape from this ancient city, the mood was very heavy. All of them didn’t know if they could leave this place alive.

The crowd gradually scattered, many people began to look for an exit by themselves. Not long later, a miserable shriek resounded. Xiao Chen and Lawrence rushed forward at high-speed, but they only saw a meat paste on the street gushing out bloody fog. There was a one meter long huge claw mark on the ground. Apparently, that person was flattened by a strange giant creature!

They cautiously probed their surroundings. Xiao Chen and Lawrence cast a glance at one another and retreated at lightning speed. They could feel a huge monster hiding in the dark. It seemed like it was about to assault them with the claws. Even though they didn’t see it clearly, that kind of feeling couldn’t be wrong.

They quickly ran away from that area. And soon after, a miserable shriek once more resounded from there. Obviously, someone rushed to the scene and met up with misfortune. The three skeletons followed closely at the side. Rowena and Yan Qing Cheng also followed closely behind. This was a really frightening ancient city, whether they could safely depart from this place was full of unknowns.

Passing through one after another streets, they saw many grand halls along the sides of the road. There were actually so many demonic shrines that were unheard of. Xiao Chen and the gang still couldn’t find the exit of the ghost town. They could feel the energy fluctuation emitted by the divine monolith at the heart of the town. But no matter how much they searched for the gate at the opposite side, they couldn’t find the real exit. The ancient streets kept diverging them from the main road, it seemed like their sense of direction had been affected by a bizarre power, they were unable to distinguish left from right.

“Rumble……!”

It sounded like the gallops of ten thousand horses, the ancient buildings in the surrounding trembled violently. Xiao Chen and the gang hastily rushed into the depths of an alley. By relying on their intuition, it seemed like a group of huge monsters were surging forward on the main street. The baleful aura swept past with a rumbling sound.



 


  1. Silva: Is Xiao Chen going to get this Halberd? I see he was holding a Halberd in the cover picture~ 

Chapter 90 – Eternal Restrain!



“The so-called Buddha, and the so-called life or death. They are nothing in front of me, absolute strength can crush everything!” The Solitary Sword Demon once killed Buddhist Yichi with three slash, he was indeed in possession of a preeminent ability. He left an afterimage in his original place, and appeared in front of Buddhist Yizhen while brandishing the double-edged sword in his hand. The sword produced waves of terrifying demonic whistle, the surrounding space was distorted immediately afterwards. This was the incarnation of absolute strength!

Buddhist Yizhen did not receive the attack head on. Rather, he flew up with a whirl, and went along the ancient street while defying gravity, he looked transcendental like a Buddha going for a walk under the moonlight.

“Solitary Sword Demon, let’s have a decisive battle between you and I after changing location.”

“I won’t die that easily. In front of absolute strength, every scheme will be wasted.” The Solitary Sword Demon’s confidence originated from his own strength. He didn’t stay for long, and chased after Buddhist Yizhen after shrouding himself in the black fog.

“The line is empty, sit empty, silent movement are all empty. It would go head to head. Like the cranial longitudinal sword cut spring……” ⌈1⌋ Buddhist Yizhen’s speech was faintly discernible as he gradually distanced himself. One could tell he had definitely advanced to a whole new level. Each and every speech of his contained the wisdom of Buddha. ⌈2

Not a single person from the plaza went after them. Even though that might be a rarely seen big battle, so much so that it could even be considered as biggest confrontation of the youth generation, none was willing to roam about randomly when they couldn’t even guarantee their own lives. Moreover, there were some ancient training diagram on the stone fences around this plaza. Although they were all badly damaged and difficult to comprehend, it was still a rare opportunity to them. Everyone carefully searched this place, hoping to find a diagram that was useful to them.

A sword-qi appeared suddenly, a streak of light went straight for the middle of Lawrence’s back. Even though Xiao Chen could feel it, it was already too late to help him. He was away from Lawrence by some distance, although he believed in Lawrence’s strength, the guy in question was already heavily injured after all. He couldn’t help but feel anxious.

However, green radiance rushed forth, and Lawrence’s body was enveloped by that hazy radiance. When the sword-qi that was launched towards Lawrence entered this bizarre space, it became slower and slower as if it fell into a swamp. A crystal clear throwing knife halted just behind Lawrence’s back! It was only a few inch behind him.

Lawrence turned his body around, and looked at the fence not far away, then he said, “I almost suffered an unfortunate event once, but the same attack will not work on me twice. Come on out, Wharton. I have already locked onto you, only one of us will come out of this alive today.”

Wharton, the successor of the Godly Flying Dagger Technique, turned around and ran away as soon as he stood up from the back of the stone fence. However, Lawrence soared into the sky and left a green trail in the sky as he chased after him.

Xiao Chen also didn’t tarry, his left hand was enveloped by the North Star Light Screen, and a resplendent star appeared on his right hand too. He emitted a threatening murderous aura. He didn’t want to let Wharton get away anymore. His figure swayed continuously as he left behind one after another afterimages during the chase.

“Xiao Chen, you don’t need to make a move. I have already locked onto him. This time I will let him taste his own medicine. I will make him understand Void Master is not to be trifled with!” Lawrence disregarded his injured body and was determined to kill the enemy. Nobody could change his killing intent.

They passed through the blood river. Lawrence and Xiao Chen were pursuing Wharton closely on the ancient street. In the end, they got back to the plaza. Being able to fly at an early stage was the Psychic and Spell Master’s biggest advantage, Wharton’s path was still cut off in the end.

Lawrence trapped Wharton in a green dimension. Unable to escape, Wharton could only choose to fight with Lawrence. Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger pierced the void and transformed into one after another dazzling rays of light. It was launched towards Lawrence.

However, when facing only one opponent, Lawrence possessed absolute control within the green dimension. He could respond to every single attack a single practitioner on the same level was capable of. The most terrifying Godly Flying Dagger Technique lost its merit today, all the Flying Daggers became so slow in this dimension, everything was clearly reflected in Lawrence’s pair of eyes. He unhurriedly evaded all the sword aura, and even halted a few Flying Daggers in midair.

At this moment, Lawrence showed everyone why the Void Masters were revered as kings, and utterly destroyed the legendary Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger! ⌈3

“Clang!”

A metallic noise resounded, few of the Flying Daggers in the sky were broken into pieces simultaneously. The resplendent sword of rain condensed from void power took the form of Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger. They emitted glaring rays of light and was shot towards Wharton.

Even if Wharton was powerful, he was powerless to do anything at the moment. He had the same feeling as Xiao Chen at that time. He felt his entire body was being bound in the space controlled by Lawrence, he was actually unable to budge an inch, as if he was caught up in the swamp.

“Plop! Plop! Plop……!”

More than ten glaring rays of light continuously ran through Wharton’s body, one after another bloody arrows came out from the other side. Blood flowed out like waterfall from the dozen of wounds on Wharton’s body. Lawrence defeated Wharton using the imitated Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger.

The green light screen gradually faded away. Wharton’s body swayed left and right. He coughed out blood unceasingly. He smiled bitterly and said, “At least I died in the hands of a living person. I am much luckier than the rest of you. All of you will die tragically……” Saying until here, he tore apart the front piece of his cloth. They could see a bloody big hole in his chest. Even though his heart was still throbbing, the mark of the claw was very clear. It seemed like his heart was almost scooped out. Furthermore, there were a few deep scars near his chest. ⌈4

It was very obvious that he was already seriously wounded, he wouldn’t be able to live more than a few days. And this suicide attack proved that he was prepared to die. As soon as he finished saying these words, Wharton fell on the pool of blood. Nobody knew what did he encounter, but that paw print didn’t seem like the doing of an ordinary human. Recalling what he said before, everyone felt a chill down their spine. This is a ghost town after all.

“Roar……!”

Thunderous roars transmitted from outside the ancient city wall. God knows how many dragons had already assembled at the moment, they finally began to go at it for real. Even if the survivors had made it to the center of the ghost town, they were still able to feel the unlimited fluctuation.

The dragons attacked in a frenzy, it seemed like they wanted to destroy this ghost town as quickly as possible. Even though the ******* light enveloped the ghost town, and the baleful aura was present everywhere, it seemed like it also wouldn’t be able to resist for long. Not long later, the entire ghost town was shaking, it seemed like it might collapse at any given time.

The rain of blood already ceased, the dark sky was illuminated brightly by the divine radiance of the dragon’s spell. It seemed like they wanted to split the hazy sky, and let the radiance of the sun destroy this ghost town.

In the middle of an ear-splitting thunderous noise, the dragons outside the dead city let out a roar simultaneously. Apparently, they were using a powerful dragon magic. The glaring rays of light were like the brilliance of ten suns, the rays of light ripped apart the dark sky and dispersed the demonic clouds above the sky. The sunlight shone down in an instant.

This is an astonishing change.

It was already noon at the moment. When the gleaming sunlight and the demonic light of the ghost town came together, rumbling noise resounded constantly. It was like the incompatibility between fire and water. It kept producing thunderous explosion noise.

Soon after, a deadly aura soared into the sky, a bloody screen covered the sun. Even though the demonic cloud was dispersed, the sunlight was still dyed in the color of blood by the ghost town!

The plaza produced a rumbling noise, the hundred meter tall divine monolith and few almost identical monolith illusions were moving around in a circle. They actually encircled the plaza, and trapped the black well that appeared in central-most plaza without anyone noticing.

Only until the bloody sunlight shone upon the world did that pitch black ancient well become especially apparent. Even though the sky was illuminated by the rays of light, it still appeared incomparably dark and bizarre. It possessed a magic power that causes one’s heart to race.

That ancient well was only three meter in diameter, an indistinct black aura was lingering on the well. It gave people an enigmatic feeling, it looked like an entrance to hell. The more one looked at it, the more puzzling they felt. It was incomparably bizarre, it felt like it would swallow up people’s mind.

The face of the huge divine monolith and the surrounding monolith illusions could finally be seen clearly under the radiance of the bloody sunlight. There were handwritings engraved on every monoliths, two identical characters were found on every monoliths: Eternal Restrain!

Xiao Chen was deeply attracted by the first monolith. It was actually Eternal Restrain: Yellow River! Isn’t this the divine monolith at his hometown, why did it appear here? He knew this divine monolith was an illusion, but it was actually related to the divine monolith on the dragon island. It really made him feel restless.

The only characters on the divine monolith was only not limited to “Eternal Restrain”. After the ancient character, there were different characters. Looking at the other ancient monoliths, he could see “Eternal Restrain: Lost Island” on the second divine monolith. Other than that, he could only see “Eternal Restrain” on the other monoliths, the rest were fuzzy. Moreover, in a moment later, those characters flickered momentarily and faded away. In the next moment, one after another vivid diagrams appeared on each and every divine monoliths.

Even though a few huge divine monoliths were in front of their eyes, everyone could tell that only the second “Eternal Restrain: Lost Island” was real. The rest were merely illusion that looked almost identical. What made everyone feel extremely shocked was that, all the divine monoliths were emitting a bizarre energy fluctuation, they seemed to be imbuing the real divine monolith with power.

Under the bloody sunlight, the diagram engraved on the divine monoliths did not only appear more vivid, it seemed like they had been imbued with souls as they passed straight through the wall.

The first divine monolith, that is “Eternal Restrain: Yellow River”, had a very peculiar diagram on its surface. High up in the sky, black clouds covered densely. Heavy rain poured, huge lightning ripped apart the void. On mother earth, the mountain collapsed, the surface splits, and magma rushed forth. The entire mother earth was trembling fiercely. In the middle of the sea, the raging waves beat against the shores, the stormy seas covered the skies, and engulfed the heaven and earth.

The second divine monolith, that is “Eternal Restrain: Lost Island”, had the portraits of dragons galloping in the skies. It seemed like they were wailing. Many people and deities were also struggling. Above them was an ocean of blood as far as the eyes could see, there were hundreds and thousand layers of raging waves. A dried up mountain of bones stood at the center of the bloody ocean, it was rammed by the torrents of bloody waves, and yet the majestic mountain of bones remained motionless.

Below the dragons and those deities was a ghost town. The demonic aura was dense, the pitch-black gate to hell was half-opened. It was completely lifeless beyond the gate, it was a world of complete darkness. It emitted inexhaustible aura of death. What made people even more amazed was that, below the ghost town, there was an auspicious land. The castle was unoccupied, the resplendent divine trees and jade-like grasses were all over the place. However, not much was outlined. It was already at the bottom-most of the divine monolith, it was hard to observe more of the vast land.

The diagrams on the third divine monolith were made out of a few hardly related drawings. A farmer riding an old ox to plow the land. A shepherd guiding a group of oxen and horses at a prairie. A fisherman standing on a boat and casting his fishing rod into the river. A peddler standing in front of the store touting the wares. Few of these small diagrams were not related in the slightest, but when they were put together, it called to mind the simple life of humans. It made people couldn’t help but think of all kinds of lifestyle.

The diagram on the fourth divine monolith emitted an indistinct radiance. One after another imposing Temple in Heaven stood tall on the clouds. They were hidden behind the clouds, many bejeweled jade castles were faintly discernible.

The diagram on the fifth divine monolith depicted an inexhaustible purple fog covering up the heaven and earth. It seemed like there was a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses galloping within the fog, and yet it seemed like there was a bellow of countless creatures. This diagram was very fuzzy, but it made people’s heart race. Even though they couldn’t see the scene beyond the fog, the interior emitted a majestic aura similar to that of the boundless ocean.

It seemed like there was a sixth and seventh divine monolith, but they were barely visible. As for the diagrams on those monoliths, there wasn’t even a need to ask.

Under the radiance of the bloody sunlight, few of the visible stone inscriptions did not only seem more vivid, they were even transmitting a faintly discernible sound. These stone inscriptions seemed so real and so vivid. Each and every diagrams seemed like they had their own soul.

These doesn’t seem like stone inscriptions anymore, they seemed more like a few different worlds that were put together by someone.

Even though the diagrams on the huge divine monoliths were incomparably mystical, they still fell short to the black well that was encircled within. The more they look the more terrified they felt, it seemed like a bottomless hell that would swallow up their mind.

Under the sudden rampage of the dragons, the demonic well let out a faintly discernible heavenly music for a period of time, then it produced a mournful whistle that caused people’s scalp to go numb in the next moment. It caused every practitioners to fall back involuntarily. Even though the sound did not have an offensive nature, it caused people’s nether region to shrink.

The ghost town trembled violently, the huge divine monolith and the illusory monoliths also trembled violently. Even though Xiao Chen had guessed only one divine monolith was real, he was unable to find any faults in the other monoliths at the moment. It seemed like their souls had crossed time-space continuum to come here and provide power for the ancient monolith.

Chapter 89 – Reappearance of the Divine Monolith



Without a doubt, these must be the pair of experts Buddhist Yizhen encountered before. It seemed like they were mortal enemy, even after entering the ancient city, they were still having their decisive battle. The black fog and colorful mist concealed their face, it made people unable to clearly distinguish their real appearance. They could only see hazy shadows.

“It is really the power of time, it is the genuine Divine Law!” Lawrence offered a word of praise, it was easy to tell that he was very excited. It seemed like he wanted to rush over there to learn something from the woman in question.

Without making any sound, a murderous aura suddenly closed in. Xiao Chen turned around immediately, his left hand was enveloped by North Star Light Screen, and grabbed an almost transparent knife blade in that instant. That resplendent knife blade was crystal clear, it was as beautiful as a work of art. With astonishment, it was actually Xiao Li’s Flying Dagger!

The big battle ahead also didn’t cause Xiao Chen loosen his guard, he stopped the killing move this time in the first moments. Just by raising his wrist lightly, sword aura ripped the void apart, it was launched high into the sky.

“Plop!”

A lot of blood splashed downwards, the human figure in the sky flee in a hurry. Just when Lawrence was about to soar into the sky, Xiao Chen pulled him, and said, “No need to go after them, you are not in your best condition, we must not suffer any accidental loss.”

“Wharton was actually carried by Carlos into the sky, it seems like they wanted to escape immediately after getting rid of you. However, we can collect some interest in advance……” Speaking until here, Rowena smiled flirtatiously. After that, she lifted Yan Qing Cheng’s face by holding her chin, and said, “Treating this kind of peerless woman as interest is really too wonderful. I wonder how should we tame her in the future?” When they arrived at the central ancient city, the dragon’s magic attacks were already unable to affect this area. In other words, their lives were no longer in danger. Even though they were attacked from time to time, it was nothing compared to the dragon’s destructive attack. All of these could be stopped with ease.

However, Xiao Chen had a really bad feeling, his intuition was telling him something was watching outsiders like them in the dark. He suddenly turned his head around and saw a huge shadow quickly approaching from among the ancient building complex. They could vaguely tell it was a human figure, but the figure was really too big, it was at least twenty meter tall.

“Swish!”

Lawrence used the void power to create a light rain, and launched it towards the dark zone ahead. The resplendent light illuminated that corner, a black cat about the size of a pony cried out in fear, and scampered with a whoosh. It disappeared in the darkness.

Such an enormous black cat really made one feel stupefied. Moreover, it was actually able to evade Lawrence’s light rain attack, which gave people an even more bizarre feeling. They could vaguely see a necklace made out of human skulls hanging around its neck. Words can’t even describe how eerie and mysterious it was.

“Gu-lulu”

On the ancient street, a few snow-white human skulls rolled over, they kept rolling until they reached under Xiao Chen’s foot. Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang seemed to be very mindful of these human skulls. The three skeletons lifted the skull, and their jaws kept making a snapping sound.

Xiao Chen took one human skull from their hands, he discovered there was a lotus insignia on the forehead of the skull. It was similar to the insignia on Qinguang Wang and the other two’s forehead. But they already lost their splendor long ago, there was only a little bit of imprint.

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

The few human skulls mysteriously shattered, the white powdered bones fell gently like the dried up sand. These things were extremely strange, it seemed as if the skulls that had existed for countless years were giving them some kind of warning.

Lawrence looked at Lunhui Wang and the rest, then he faced Xiao Chen and said, “Those who have a lotus insignia on their forehead might evolve into the Undead Sovereign in the future. That is an existence that would cause even the deities to shrink back. Those few skulls just now seemed like the leftover of genuine Sovereign Kings.

“This ancient city is too mysterious and scary!” Xiao Chen exclaimed.

The unknown mystery seemed to possess an irresistible force on humans. After Xiao Chen and the gang entered the ancient city and arrived at this place, they could already stop advancing, but their strong desire to explore this place seemed to be pushing them forward. They wanted to get to the bottom of this deathly still ancient city.

After Lawrence probed the surroundings carefully, he said in a heavy tone, “The ancient city is very bizarre. There is an energy confining the space above the sky, even Psychic and Spell Master wouldn’t be able to leave from the sky. Perhaps only the dragons would be able to break through.

The Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors they passed by occasionally did not block their path, but when their cold gaze swept past them, it seemed like they were looking at dead people.

From the front, the sound of surging river could be heard. At the same time, a baleful aura pervaded the entire area. Moreover, pungent smell of blood drifted in the air. Scarlet blood mist rushed forth as the bloody river was surging forward. The pungent smell that made people wants to throw up didn’t allow anyone to doubt whether or not the blood was real.

Until now, even Xiao Chen was somewhat convinced, this place really seemed like the residence of the Sovereign of Death.

Above the surging bloody river, there was a stone bridge every few distance away. The stone bridges were engraved with various demons and deities. The vicissitudes of time were clearly visible on the engravings, it seemed like they were explaining something.

There were some withered skeletons on each and every stone bridge. It might be due to the vicissitudes of time, but those white bones were almost eroded. Xiao Chen and the gang did not stop, they directly crossed the bloody river using one of the stone bridge. And it seemed like the heart of the ancient city was already in front of them, that place was a central plaza.

A huge monolith stood in the center of the plaza, it was at least hundred meter tall!

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked. Isn’t this the divine monolith in the middle of the sea of bones? How did it appear in the ancient city, could it be that these two were interlinked and had a great connection? That must it be!

The plaza was very wide and spacious, except for that huge and eerie ancient monolith in the center, the plaza was surrounded by a very special fence. It was actually made out of rocks that looked similar tombstone.

“Those couldn’t be built by assembling ancient tombstones together right?” Lawrence looked at the surrounding fence doubtfully.

And just at this time, the survivors also arrived at this place one after another. Among them included the expert who was wrapped in black fog from head to foot, as well as the woman who was shrouded by colorful mist. However, they are no longer fighting, and distanced themselves from each other.

Altogether only thirty plus people who arrived at this place. They are the true elites among the practitioners. Several hundred people died in a disaster, only a few dozen people remained in the end. Far away, those Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors still looked at everyone as if they were nothing. They didn’t have any reaction towards the few dozen practitioners.

In the distant sky, the dragons were bellowing in rage. They were still attacking this ghost town. Just at this time, the huge ancient monolith standing at the center of the plaza suddenly burst forth with a torrent of divine radiance. It tore apart the dusky sky, and prevented the rain of blood from falling, all of them were blocked high in the sky.

A fluctuation similar to that of the boundless ocean surged up violently from the plaza. Even though it didn’t possess any destructive force, it still possessed a huge pressure on the mind. It made the practitioners at this place unable to bear it anymore, that was a fear evolved from the soul.

Half of the people were unable to bear this kind of pressure, they actually couldn’t resist kowtowing on the ground. They were just like puny ants scared into submission by the ruler of all living things. That huge pressure, that ancient aura, it was really intimidating!

Xiao Chen, Lawrence, the mysterious man shrouded in black fog, as well as that woman shrouded in colorful mist were doing their utmost to resist. In the end, only the few of them didn’t crouch down.

The divine radiance emitted by the hundred meter tall ancient monolith was entirely drawn back. But in that split second, they transformed into one after another figures. A few more huge divine monolith suddenly appeared on the plaza, but with careful examination, they could only detect one genuine monolith. The others seemed to be almost identical illusions, they stood at the center of the plaza together with the real ancient monolith.

Everyone wanted to take a step forward to look at the mysterious ancient monolith. Even though the fog was bubbling up, everyone could still see the mysterious engravings on the ancient monolith!

Only… nobody was able to approach. It seemed like there was an invisible energy in the surroundings of the huge ancient monolith and the few layers of monolith illusions. One practitioner attempted to approach, nothing happened at the beginning, but once he entered a few meter deep, he actually transformed into a pile of blood paste and melted on the plaza.

Nobody else dared to attempt, everyone couldn’t help but fall back. They surrounded the huge ancient monolith and watched from the distant. In the end, god knows who was the first to discover the diagrams on the surrounding fence and cried out in surprise.

After that, everyone walked over to those pitch-black stone beams that looked like tombstone. Many ancient events seemed to be recorded on the stone fence, but they were too hard to decrypt. Nobody was able to understand what they were reading. None of the diagrams on the stone tablet remained in good condition. It seemed like the most crucial parts were deliberately erased.

However, it was still somewhat beneficial for everyone. They actually discovered some training methods carved on the stone monolith. Lawrence whispered to Xiao Chen; That he found a diagram left behind by a powerful Void Master. Even though the diagram was very fuzzy and difficult to comprehend, it still gave him a very important enlightenment.

At this time, the plaza was very quiet, everyone was searching in the vicinity of the stone fence, they wanted to find some even more valuable diagram.

Xiao Chen also searched around. However, he didn’t pay much attention to the secret techniques of the Martial Artist, because his intuition told him those training methods were far inferior to the Secret-Qi Training Method he specialized in. But he still received huge benefits from these, this place had many lost skills, as well as some of the legendary killing move; Such as the God Slayer Technique, Chaotic Three-Way Patterns, Eight Laws of Demon Suppression, etc.

“O the ultimate essence of things, a moment of enlightenment is all thee need. Once the scene can’t be concealed, here we meet face to face.” ⌈1⌋ Just at this time, a clear and sonorous chant transmitted to everyone’s ears. Buddhist Yizhen floated over here.

One couldn’t see his once mournful expression, he seemed really graceful and ethereal at the moment. He fixed his gaze at the mysterious man with black fog all over his body, and said, “Solitary Sword Demon, I will make you understand what is karma today.”

As he was saying this, Buddhist Yizhen was calm and indifferent. So much so that he even possessed some sort of charm similar to that of Gods and Buddhas smiling while fiddling with flower. Words couldn’t even describe how breathtaking it was. It was very obvious that the Buddha’s Eternal Wheel made this young buddhist accomplish the first Nirvana-like transformation. It seemed like he really had a flash of realization.

The black fog bubbled up, the Solitary Sword Demon’s tall figure became visible. This was a man with really grim expression, he was not that handsome, but he had this really threatening disposition. His entire person seemed like a sharp unsheathed sword.

“It was really you.” Yizhen was very calm.

“It seems like the legendary Buddha really possessed sky-shattering magic power. A single Buddhist Tool could actually let you undergo a complete transformation. I thought the Dharma faction was already abolished, I didn’t expect there was someone like you.” The Solitary Sword Demon’s voice was as grim as his expression.

“Few were born, few return to nirvana, such is the circle of life. Light and dark maintained an equilibrium, some seeds shan’t return to the roots or origin.” ⌈2⌋ Buddhist Yizhen quietly recited the chant, quoting the Buddhist scripture, it seemed like the insight was considerably deep.



 


  1. Silva: Can I just leave these “chant” thing in pinyin? 
  2. Silva: I just can’t do it… with my lousy translating skills, I can’t translate these Buddhist chants… Just think of them as some gibberish magic words and be happy with it…
    Chanayh: Just f**k Chen Dong… 

Chapter 88 – The Terrifying Ghost Town



Even though they were very far away, it seemed like the dragons could hear what they were saying. The divine rays fell beside them unceasingly, as if they were intentionally driving them into the city.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen already got beside Lunhui Wang, and joined the three skeletons to look at the warriors in the ghost town. It was deathly silent, both sides seemed to find themselves in a very subtle situation.

The rain of blood swirled in the air, those Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors were giving off an ancient aura. It seemed like they had already lived for countless years, they seemed like the reformation of the ancient figures in present age.

The glaring divine ray pierced through the bloody curtains, targeting the inner city gate. Xiao Chen didn’t have any other choice, and finally took the last step. The Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors in the city already stopped their drill a long time ago. They stood there like one after another huge tombstone as they looked at Xiao Chen with their cold gaze.

One step, two steps, three steps……

Xiao Chen entered the ancient city!

The dragon’s attack could no longer do anything to him. Those ancient Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors did not attack him. Lawrence and Buddhist Yizhen also entered along with him. Rowena’s facial expression was very pale, she detained Yan Qing Cheng and followed behind the rest. The three skeletons cautiously got beside Xiao Chen.

The eyes of the Yin Warriors were incomparably eerie, they lifted the ancient metal spear in their hands simultaneously. Rowena turned deathly pale immediately, but the Yin Warrior did not attack, and continued their drill under the rain of blood. This made the few people let out a long sigh immediately.

They did not dare to enter too deep into the ghost town. They only stood near the city gate quietly. If not for the bombardment of the dragons outside, they wouldn’t even think of hiding here.

At a distant place, those practitioners that were still alive saw a few people hiding in the safety of the ghost town. All those people began to rush over there. The dragons also didn’t make things difficult for them, they intentionally gave them a way to survive. They wanted to force everyone into the ancient city to find a path for them.

There were merely a hundred plus survivors in the ghost town, the rest had been completely annihilated by the dragon’s bombardment. And just at this time, the dragon’s berserk attack actually changed from the sea of bones to the ghost town. One after another divine rays rammed on the city wall, many light beams that were launched beyond the city wall spread out.

Everyone was caught up in the attack once more. Just at this time, the hundreds of Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors near the city gate lifted the ancient lance and metal spear in their hands. One after another, they faced the light beams that descended from the sky.

Those rusty looking and damaged ancient weapons actually resisted most of the divine rays. Those divine rays were unable to injure these Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors, but these warriors also exhausted their strength. Their steps were unsteady, and their body swayed unceasingly.

Xiao Chen’s keen intuition detected the ancient city emitting a bewitching radiance, the bizarre black radiance blocked most of the dragon’ magic attack. Otherwise, even these Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors wouldn’t be able to truly block the dragon’s divine ability.

The ghost town is really mysterious and terrifying! That might explain why the dragons dare not approach this place.

“Fo……” ⌈1

A long drawn out “Fo” suddenly resounded, it gave people an unfathomable feeling. Above the city gate, Buddha’s Aureola soared into the sky. The splendid radiance sprinkled across the land as far as the eyes could see. The Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors hastily retreated. The radiance was precisely emitted by Buddha’s Eternal Wheel.

That huge Eternal Wheel kept quivering on the ancient city wall unceasingly. The invisible sound wave was like a stormy sea surging up violently. It actually caused everyone to push on to the depths of the ancient city’s street. And except for Buddhist Yizhen, none were able to stay near the city gate. Even those several hundreds of Celestial Warriors and Yin Warrior had no choice but to brandish their ancient weapons, and head towards the rear.

“Fo……”

Another “Fo” resounded. The Buddhist’s Aureole surrounded Buddhist Yizhen. Buddhist Yizhen whose monk cloth was dyed red by blood appeared very solemn at the moment. He sat cross-legged, and clapped both hands together. In contrast to the sorrowful looks before him, he is very calm and content right now, his gracefulness is out of the world.

Within the Buddhist’s Aureole, Buddhist Yizhen slowly floated up. He was actually sitting on empty air. One huge Buddhist image actually appeared at his surroundings, that unfathomable aura was precisely emitted by that faintly discernible Buddhist image.

Looking from a distant, Buddhist Yizhen was sitting on the huge palm of the old Buddha. Even though his monk cloth had already been stained by blood, his entire person seemed so ethereal as if Buddha had really been reborn. The auspicious and merciful aura spread over a large area.

“Amituofo……” Buddhist Yizhen chanted in a low voice. It seemed like he was enlightened with the perfect wisdom. His entire person seems to have changed, he could only be described as out-of-this-world at this moment. It seemed like he has forgotten the sadness he once felt, forgotten the death of his senior brother, he is very calm and undisturbed right now.

He quietly sat on the hollow of Buddha’s palm, and muttered difficult to understand ancient scriptures. He closed his eyes and sunk into some kind of special meditation zone. At the distant, everyone was envious of Buddhist Yizhen’s luck. Without a doubt, he was helped by Buddha’s Eternal Wheel.

Nobody knew how much benefits did Buddhist Yizhen get from this, but it was the legendary Buddha’s gift, even those people with immortality would be very excited to receive it!

Far away, those thunderous roar of the dragons momentarily calmed down due to the sacred light of Buddha’s Eternal Wheel. However, the thunderous roar shook the sky again after a short while, one after another dragon magic bombarded the inner ghost town from all direction.

Even though the black radiance had already enveloped the sky of the ghost town, many divine rays still passed through. All the Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors lifted their ancient weapons to resist.

Except the place where Buddhist Yizhen was, the other practitioners were painstakingly trying to dodge. They were actually forced into this kind of mysterious yet terrifying ancient city. They seriously had no room to advance or to retreat.

Xiao Chen was the first to go along the ancient streets, and headed towards the depths of the ancient city. Even his countenance would change in the face of the dragon’s divine spell. Even though the spell were weakened by the black radiance produced by the ancient city, it was still not something Xiao Chen and the rest could ward off.

Lawrence and rest followed Xiao Chen along the ancient street. Yan Qing Cheng was very cooperative at the moment, she did not resist at all, and followed the others along with Rowena.Their only hope for survival was to get away from the battlefield near the city gate.

The people at the back also ran towards the other end of the street after a slight hesitation. If they were one step slower, they would have fell under the spells of the dragons. Those Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors also retreated, but they still didn’t attack the others, they were like stone statues without emotion.

Only, many practitioners gradually started to feel uneasy, because they saw a lot of white bones on the street! Could these people be the same as them, and died a mysterious death after bursting into the city? However, everyone has no way out, they could only wait quietly in the depths of the ancient city. Quietly wait for everything to calm down.

However, the situation did not turn for the better. On the contrary, it became even more severe. The dragon roars were gradually approaching, the roars caused the heaven to fall and the earth to rend. Many of the weaker practitioners couldn’t bear it anymore, their face were incomparably pale. They could see enormous figures of dragons in the sky over the sea of bones. They are currently outside of the ghost town, the intimidating pressure was like a furious ocean surging up. Some even penetrated the ancient city’s black radiance, causing everyone to be caught up in a perilous situation.

The dragons seemed like they wanted to destroy this ghost town, even if they were fearful of it. They didn’t dare to descend towards the ground, but the magic attack descended from every direction.

Just at this time, all the practitioners scattered like ants. Each of them ran towards the empty streets and alleys of the ghost town, they couldn’t care less anymore. Regardless of whether there was any dangers in the city, it is more important to avoid getting killed by the dragons right now.

The Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors also couldn’t ward off the attacks anymore, they waved their rusty ancient weapons, and retreated towards the depths of the ancient city. The ghost town was brimming with baleful aura, the watery blood flowed unceasingly on the streets. In addition to those white bones on the ground, it was seriously like the hell on earth.

“Ah……!”

A miserable shriek resounded from the depths of an alley. It was a very sorrowful shriek, as if the person had received a great shock before he died. It was not very far from Xiao Chen and Lawrence’s party.

“What’s going on, that place was not attacked by the dragon’s magic attack right?” Rowena’s voice was trembling.

Xiao Chen and Lawrence did not say a single word, they went into the ancient alley together. The surrounding buildings were like the city wall, only god knows what kind of material they were made out of. Their colors resembled the dark red of dried up blood. And yet they were flickering with bizarre black radiance.

The alley became narrower as they move on. They quickly reached a dead-end. The miserable shriek just now came from within a normal-looking residence, there’s still some lingering sound. However, there was another more notable sound.

“Skeech! Skeech……!”

Relying on their intuition, they felt that was a gnawing sound. It seemed like the sound of tearing one’s flesh apart with the teeth. They didn’t know what kind of creature was it, nor do they want to know under this kind of circumstances. Rowena’s face was deathly pale, she exerted her strength to cover her mouth. Xiao Chen and Lawrence looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they chose to fall back, and left this residence that caused one’s hair to stand on end.

The ghost town was indeed not a benevolent land, it was filled with unknown dangers!

“Ah……!”

The miserable shrieks once more resounded from not far away, and not only from a single location. When Xiao Chen and the gang arrived at the scene, they discovered it all came from those former residence. The former residences flickering with black radiance were densely packed on both sides of the street. Some are grand and magnificent, while others are in terrible condition. The arrangement is pretty similar to any ordinary city.

The miserable shrieks were transmitted from within the former residences. Clearly, many practitioners decided to hide in the former residences after seeing how the dragon’s magic spell couldn’t destroy the building. They never thought they’d actually die within the building. Up until now, no people knew how they died.

However, Xiao Chen and the rest had already heard the gnawing sound from a few former residences. Clearly, something terrifying was devouring the practitioners within the former residence. This was a very terrifying thing, all those who entered the ancient city could be regarded as some of the most well-known figures, and yet they ended up becoming other people’s food……

“Clank! Clank!”

“Clink! Clank!”

In the depths of the ancient street, the sound of clashing metal could be heard. Xiao Chen and the rest saw two Psychics controlling divine swords made out of spiritual energy in the sky, and killing each other mutually. Under this kind of circumstances, they were still fighting. One could see the enmity between them was not simple.

After a miserable shriek, one Psychic was cut in half, and fell from the sky. The other Psychic flew towards a different direction. That two section of corpse fell in front of a big residence. “Creak…!” That tall bloody red door opened slightly.

Xiao Chen clearly saw two specks of eerie green light in the darkness. That was a sinister yet frightening pair of pupils. As soon as a burst of chilly wind brushed past, the two section of corpse in front of the blood-red door disappeared. After that, the door close with a “Bang!”. From behind the door, the gnawing sound could be heard.

This was a terrifying scene Xiao Chen and the rest saw with their own eyes. Even though they didn’t see what kind of creature it was, it was enough to make them feel astonished. It seemed like there was a terrifying person, beast, or perhaps a ghost residing in each former residence.

“What was that?” The beauty queen Yan Qing Cheng also couldn’t help but feel a little fearful. She stared at the bloody red door without blinking her beautiful eyes.

Rowena was “responsible and diligent”, she reeducate Yan Qing Cheng by saying, “Why don’t you worry about yourself first.”

The dragons’ attack were getting wilder, some of them already flew overhead the ghost town, and shot down one after another divine rays unceasingly. Some Celestial Warriors and Yin Warriors were already annihilated by them. However, it seemed like the dragons did not launch an all-out attack yet. Judging from their attacking style, it seemed like they were still probing around.

The practitioners were inevitably caught up in this disaster, some more people died an unnatural death.

Xiao Chen and the rest kept using the buildings on the street as shelters. Not long later, they saw two powerful experts mutually killing each other on the main road. One mysterious man with his entire body shrouded in black fog is currently engaging in a fierce battle with a girl shrouded by seven-colored radiance. Their battle is very extraordinary.

The divine sword in the man’s hand swept from all eight directions in a single breath. He possessed this disdainful look out of the corner of his eyes, and had an air of overbearing supremacy. The space was twisted due to a wave of his sword, it formed a special “domain” at his surrounding. He seemed like an overlord within that domain.

And the girl shrouded by seven-colored radiance was just as mystical. The hazy radiance that enveloped the space was so outstanding, even the mysterious man’s long sword would become incomparably slow, and lose its excelling power once it broke into the space. That space shrouded by the dense bright fog seemed like a tiny world in its own right.
