Chapter 1519: A Familiar Aura
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a Cursed G.o.ddess in every age. This was found in the ancient records of the Divine Dynasty.
Once, there was a matured Cursed G.o.ddess with fearsome strength. For some reason, her curse power broke out, leaving a great world in ruins and death overnight.
Many people had no idea about the horror of a Cursed G.o.ddess, and that was because the records were rather fuzzy. But as the ruler of the divine dynasty, the Divine Emperor was very clear about what was written in the records.
The great world wiped out by that Cursed G.o.ddess was a first-cla.s.s great world guarded by a top-grade G.o.d King. Even so, the G.o.d King died that night, and all the living beings in that world were cursed and died on the same night.
Just like the Power of Law, the curse power was a peculiar and mysterious force born in the Chaotic Universe.
The Divine Emperor had been keeping an eye on Nethery. Even though Bu Fang surprised him greatly, he had begun to pay attention to the Cursed G.o.ddess after he first met her.
Now, with her coming out of seclusion, the curse power lingering around her worried him further. Of course, she was still nowhere near as fearsome as a matured Cursed G.o.ddess.
…
Meanwhile, in the ancient HeavenG.o.d’s relic…
Numerous figures flew across the sky at high speed, causing the void to tremble. Too many people had gathered in the head area, and their auras had joined and turned into thick rolling clouds.
The Note had marked the location of the HeavenG.o.d’s treasure, and it was where the chance could be found. This news spread at once to almost the entire relic. Countless G.o.d Kings rushed madly toward the place, even though great terrors and dangers awaited them there.
The reason was simple. They had come here for the treasure, for a sliver of the chance to become a HeavenG.o.d. Only by becoming a HeavenG.o.d could they stay immortal forever. Otherwise, even men as strong as the Divine Emperor would fall as the result of old age.
The stronger the man, the more he fears death. They did not want to die, so they had to keep climbing toward higher realms.
The wind was rising, and a storm was coming.
…
There was a mountain with beautiful scenery in the head area. Surrounded by immortal energy, it was full of spirit trees, spirit flowers, and spirit gra.s.s, and it was spring all year round here. However, beneath that incredible scenery lurked a monstrous terror.
This was the location marked on the Note, the lair of the existence ranked number one on the Blood Beast King List. This was a forbidden land, a place in the relic where many G.o.d Kings and Blood Beast Kings did not want to mess with.
Now, the peace of this place was broken. Numerous figures flew over, landed outside the mountain, and surrounded it. Almost all the top experts in the relic had gathered here.
A G.o.d King, a little breathless, asked his companion, “Is this where the HeavenG.o.d’s treasure lies?”
The sky and the ground were both packed with experts. Many people knew this was a dangerous place, so they did not rashly step into it. Instead, they waited outside, observing.
The gatekeeper had arrived. As an existence ranked high on the G.o.d King List, he was one of the strong contenders for the treasure. He was very old, and after waiting for ten thousand years in the relic, he finally got this chance.
Just then, b.e.s.t.i.a.l roars could be heard from a distance, and soon, many fearsome beasts loomed in the sky, including one rainbow b.u.t.terfly who blew up a rainbow storm with every flap of its wings.
Many G.o.d Kings were shocked. “That’s… the Rainbow b.u.t.terfly of Doom who ranked third on the Blood Beast King List!” said a high-grade G.o.d King in horror as his pupils constricted.
Almost at the same time, someone else cried out in shock while staring at the other side of the sky. There, the world was shaking as a colossal mammoth emerged from the void, emanating a terrible aura while its trunk was las.h.i.+ng about like a divine whip.
“That’s the Primeval Demon Mammoth who ranked fourth on the Blood Beast King List!”
The G.o.d Kings were terrified, and the gatekeeper was also on alert.
Sure enough, this place had become the target of all. Human G.o.d Kings wanted to fight for the treasure and the chance, and those Blood Beast Kings also did not want to let this opportunity slip away.
Once a battle broke out between them, the whole relic could be destroyed!
While the Blood Beast Kings’ mighty presence suppressed everything, the human G.o.d Kings were showing off their fearsome prowess as well.
Yu Qiu, the Sword G.o.d, came on a sword, followed by countless swords that blotted out the sky. As an expert who comprehended over two thousand Laws, he was strong enough to shake the skies. Ranked third on the G.o.d King List, he was one of the strongest experts in the relic. Even the gatekeeper would be dwarfed in front of him.
His appearance immediately caused the whole crowd to exclaim. Some people had a feverish look on their faces, while others were horrified.
The next moment, accompanied by a burst of loud laughter that shook heaven and earth, a bald, topless man arrived, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. He was none other than Xuan Kong, the existence ranked second on the G.o.d King List!
The little mountain seemed to have become the center of a great storm.
Bu Fang landed somewhere far away from it with Luo Sanniang and the others. To them, the mountain was very beautiful and did not look like a place fraught with danger.
Summer and Luo Sanniang were shocked as it was the first time they saw so many experts gathered in one place. They reckoned that almost all the top experts of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty were here.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, was calm. Frowning, he glanced at those experts. ‘Lord Dog should be here as well, shouldn’t he? If we join hands, we can try to fight for the treasure…’
He spent some time searching, but he found no sign of Lord Dog. Since he entered the relic, Lord Dog had been acting mysteriously.
In the sky, the Demon Mammoth stomped on the void, causing it to crack and filling the air with a rumbling sound. This savage beast could not wait to make a move.
“What a huge elephant…” Bu Fang had just eaten a dragon leg, so he was not hungry. However, his appet.i.te was aroused when he saw this Blood Beast King.
Luo Sanniang and Summer both gave him sideways glances. This guy wasn’t addicted to Blood Beast King meat, was he? He had eaten the Blood Phoenix and the Thunder Dragon, and now he was fixing his eyes on the Demon Mammoth? Others were here for a chance, but this guy seemed to come here for… tasting Blood Beast King meat?
Suddenly, the mammoth lifted its trunk and trumpeted. Then, it raised its front legs and stomped them hard toward the mountain down below.
All the people focused their eyes, while the Blood Beast Kings hiding in the void tensed up.
Had it started?! Had it finally lost its patience?
The mountain was peaceful with birds singing and flowers giving forth their fragrance, but soon, it would turn into ruins under the giant mammoth’s hooves. Standing almost ten thousand feet tall, the Primeval Demon Mammoth was the real dominator in the relic.
The existence ranked top on the Blood Beast King List was very mysterious, and many people wanted to see what it really was.
Rumble!
The hooves smashed down and struck the mountain hard. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, rings of energy spread like ripples, and then an invisible s.h.i.+eld was formed around the mountain. It was a defensive array, and it had stopped the trample of a top-grade Blood Beast King!
Those who saw this sucked in their breaths.
The s.h.i.+eld rippled while energy kept being released from it, causing everything in the surrounding to crumble and explode!
Yu Qiu focused his eyes, drove his sword up to the sky, and watched as the scene played out. “An array? The existence in the mountain knows how to use an array?”
He was somewhat shocked. In his opinion, Blood Beast Kings were all wild beasts, so the fact that they knew how to use arrays shocked him.
“Hehe… This might be an array left behind by the ancient HeavenG.o.d… There’s nothing to be surprised at! Let’s see if the mammoth can destroy it! These beasts’ desire for the HeavenG.o.d’s treasure is far greater than ours!” Xuan Kong said as he stroked his bald head.
Yu Qiu nodded. “No wonder that existence can remain at the top of the Blood Beast King List. With its lair sitting on top of the treasure, it would be tough not to become stronger.”
“To be honest, I’m very curious about this beast!” Xuan Kong said. His muscles were twitching, and his bones were colliding with each other, filling the air with a rumbling sound.
With a boom, the Demon Mammoth’s hooves were knocked back. The scene startled many people, and they all cried out in shock. The Demon Mammoth’s hooves were its strongest attack besides its trunk. Yet, it could not even break the array.
On the mountain, birds were still singing, flowers were still giving forth their fragrance, and rivers were still gurgling. It looked as beautiful as a fairyland.
Bu Fang, too, kept his eyes on the mountain.
The failure of the attack seemed to have irritated the Demon Mammoth. As it roared to vent its wrath, a squeaking sound rang out—the Rainbow b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings and blew up a violent tornado.
Rumble!
A trunk then lashed out like the divine whip that could break the galaxy, rus.h.i.+ng toward the array with the Rainbow b.u.t.terfly’s tornado.
Many Blood Beasts were growling.
Chuckling, Yu Qiu put his forefinger and middle finger together, raised them over his shoulder, and pointed them out. “It’s time for us to move as well!”
With a slash, a huge sword shot out in an instant and smashed down! The Power of Law fluctuated in it, joining the Demon Mammoth and the Rainbow b.u.t.terfly’s attack as they rushed toward the array.
Xuan Kong slapped his bald head and grinned, revealing his white teeth. Then, he raised a fist and punched himself on the chest. As a thump rang out like the clap of thunder, he opened his mouth and spat out a puff of yellow smoke!
The smoke looked like a cannonball, and with power not weaker than a sword, it joined the other attack and smashed toward the array.
The energy generated by the four top-grade existences turned the entire area into ruins, filling it with surging turbulence. In the blink of an eye, four bright streams of light fell and ruthlessly struck the s.h.i.+eld.
The s.h.i.+eld shook violently. Eventually, unable to withstand such a powerful combined attack, it began to crack!
“It broke!”
“The s.h.i.+eld is broken! The existence inside is finally going to reveal itself!”
“The HeavenG.o.d’s chance and treasure are finally showing up!”
The eyes of all the experts lit up as they stared intently at the s.h.i.+eld that was cracking.
Soon, the s.h.i.+eld burst like a bubble. After destroying it, the attack of the four mighty experts continued to fall toward the mountain. They wanted to destroy it completely.
However, just as the attack was about to hit its target, the void suddenly froze.
At some point, a stone coffin appeared on top of the mountain. With a creak, its lid slowly moved to the side, and then a pale hand reached out of it, flas.h.i.+ng with a ghostly green light.
The existence ranked first on the Blood Beast King List had finally appeared!
Although it only reached out a hand, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire crowd.
In the distance, Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed. “This aura… So familiar… Nethery?!”
