925 Chapter 925: Legend Says...
Somewhere far away from the Three Domain Divine World…
This was a remote island. The surging sea waves crashed into the beach, and thunderclouds gathered above it.
Three people were walking quickly and very soon they landed on a cliff.
Behind them were gigantic waves and billowing waters. The dark clouds above the ocean made it look like a great thunderstorm was happening.
However, a great mist veiled their view ahead. This land in front of them could only be seen faintly. But even from afar, they could see a silhouette that looked like an enormous beast.
One of the three people who was also the youngest of them was so frightened that he sat paralyzed on the ground and almost fell down the cliff.
He cried out in terror, “Why did we come here… Isn’t it good to stay alive?”
Another person whose name was Ren Long probed into the further land with his divine sense. However, he realized that there was a formless and powerful barrier stopping him from doing so.
The strongest of them, Fu Ming, spoke, “We will charge into it straight away. We don’t have to be afraid of the dangers. The mist on this island can’t trap us.”
He waved his hand again and rushed ahead. The other two followed him closely. They soon entered the dense mist.
Fu Ming only said that the traps were not effective but he did not say that there were no powerful beings inside. After all, usually, many forbidden grounds had powerful beings who went crazy. They would attack any trespa.s.sers.
Yes, this is a forbidden ground that people fears to even stepping on. But for some reason, these three people decided to explore this place. The strongest of them, Fu Ming, seemed to have a target to find. He was looking for something that’s why he brought his two subordinates here.
After entering into the dense mist, everyone’s sight range was reduced to merely a few meters. Their divine senses could not penetrate the mist either. They immediately became extra vigilant against enemy attacks.
After moving forward for two miles, they had yet to exit the dense mist.
Ren Long could not help but frown when he saw this. He could not help but think: ‘Why do I feel like I’m lost?’
“We will continue to move forward. This island is bigger than you two can think. Many people who came here before thought that they lost their way too and turned back. But after circling around, they were eventually driven insane.”
At this time, Fu Ming’s voice came, which shook away Ren Long’s hesitation. He once again began to move full speed ahead.
They continued to move and it took him a few hours to cross 200 miles of land. Ren Long frowned again. Just how big was this island?
“Howl!”
Suddenly, a terrifying wolf howl could be heard from his back. Fu Ming was alright however, the other two people’s scalps went numb. However, they did not stop and simply continued to move forward.
After moving ahead for another half an hour, they finally went past the mist zone. The undulating mountain ranges before them were bare. Everywhere was lava, charred earth, and billowing thunderclouds. It seemed like h.e.l.l.
Fu Ming and Chi Yu flew out from his sleeves and landed beside him.
“Oh no… Oh no…”
Chi Yu was shivering. Tears almost rolled from his eyes because of fear. It was as though he was greatly wronged by someone.
“The rest is up to me!” Fu Ming said, “Follow me closely. Don’t fall behind me for more than 15 meters, or else I won’t be able to save you.”
After that, he began walking ahead. Chi Yu quickly followed behind him and dared not to say something, but he was too terrified. He never wanted to come to this G.o.d-forsaken place, but he was forced to come here by Fu Ming.
Ren Long followed them as well. He was very curious about what Fu Ming was trying to search for.
Fu Ming walked without hurry. Looking straight ahead, his expression maintained calm and was without any tinge of surprise. No one could understand what he was thinking.
Chi Yu felt extremely anxious as he looked left and right.
They had a clear sight all around them, but this still filled him with a sense of crisis.
“Boom!”
Someone with a terrifying look suddenly came charging toward them but was bounced back by a formless barrier. The impact propelled him backward and he vomited blood.
It was too fast!
It flew over again in an instant. The speed at which he moved was like teleportation.
Ren Long and Chi Yu looked over and saw that the person was a blood monkey. It had a hideous face, with tusks jutting out from its mouth.
After landing, it rolled hundreds of rounds. Then, It quickly dug into the charred earth and disappeared.
Chi Yu asked with a trembling voice, “What was that?”
He was already a Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. But at this moment, he was in fear, just like a mortal.
Ren Long looked at Fu Ming instead. He totally did not see how Fu Ming fought it back. Fu Ming did not stop in his tracks but continued ahead.
“This island is full of bale aura, which nurtured many ferocious beings. In the countless years, their power had reached a horrifying extent. The dense mist surrounding this place is actually a form of prison, to prevent them from going out.” Fu Ming clarified things with the two which shocked the two of them.
Chi Yu asked, “What are you trying to find?”
He could not understand why did this guy know so much about this forbidden land?
Had he been here before?
If yes, then why did he come here again?
He immediately thought of one possibility, the previous people who accompanied Fu Ming were all dead.
Ren Long also thought of this possibility, but he showed no fear.
Fu Ming glanced at Chi Yu and said, “Something that will cause your death after you have heard of it.”
Chi Yu was terrified by his chilling look and immediately shut his mouth. From then on, they were attacked multiple times, but all those ferocious beasts were repelled before they could even touch the trio.
Fu Ming was overwhelmingly powerful!
p、a,nd a-n、o、ve,l Half an hour later. They came to the foot of a volcano. A cave stood in front of them with the light of flames shining from within.
Fu Ming brought them inside.
“Be careful of what’s on the ground. Don’t step on the stones. They are extremely corrosive. They will kill you if you step onto them. Even Exalted Rulers can not survive for five minutes.”
His words made Ren Long and Chi Yu look down at the ground instinctively.
Soon, they saw that the ground was filled with all kinds of stones. They immediately flew up and stayed away from the ground surface. Fortunately, the cave ceiling was high enough, or else it would be very troublesome for them.
Moving ahead along the winding tunnel, they finally reached the end of it.
A cliff was in front and under it was a sea of lava. The extreme temperature made Chi Yu covered in sweat.
Fu Ming stood by the cliffside and looked downwards with a stern expression still. He did not move but observed everything silently.
Chi Yu wanted to ask but dared not speak. He could only turn his gaze toward Ren Long. But Ren Long ignored him and looked at the rocky walls opposite of them instead. There was a drawing on the rocky walls, which was drawn with red rock.
The drawing was that of a dragon with nine heads, surrounded by a few dozen of people. They were not fighting but executing a ritual.
“What is that dragon?” Chi Yu asked curiously. Ren Long was also curious. He had seen many dragons in his life, but he had never seen a dragon with nine heads.
Fu Ming smiled and replied: “There is a legend!”
“A legend?” Both people spoke and looked at Fu Ming with questioning gazes. Both Chi Yu and Ren Long didn’t want to come here, however, they were forcefully brought here by Fu Ming. The three of them all came from three influential families of their respective empires. Destiny brought them together and they became friends. Then they were separated for more than a thousand years.
But a few days ago, Fu Ming suddenly appeared in front of them and asked them to come to this forbidden zone with him. Ren Long thought for a while and agreed to come, however, Chi Yu was reluctant. But He never thought that Fu Ming will forcefully bring him here.
Fu Ming nodded his head and replied: “Legend says that there were once nine Ancestral Dragons. Today’s dragons were born from those Nine Ancestral Dragons. However, the first generation of those dragons didn’t hatch from eggs like other dragons or Ancestral Dragons themselves, instead, the nine Ancestral Dragons created the first generation of dragons using their flesh and blood. At that time, Heavens and its Dao supported the nine Ancestral Dragons, resulting in the successful creation of many different tribes of first-generation dragons.”
