Chapter 1199: The Mysterious Guest
Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+ sucked An Lin to his heart’s content before bidding farewell with a satisfied expression.
“Mr. An Lin, I’ll come and see you again after I forge my new body!”
The middle-aged man and Gluttony soon disappeared from An Lin’s line of sight.
An Lin felt like that day would not be too far away. He was struck by a profound sense of sadness for some reason before busying himself with something else.
Meanwhile, at the Holy Glacial Lands.
This was a boundless expanse of frosty white land. The snow maidens that had once lived here were unable to endure the freezing cold and had ma.s.s migrated a long time ago, leaving behind this bleak, barren land that was completely devoid of any vitality.
The violent frost and snow were still wreaking havoc here.
The power of extreme frost seemed to be threatening to freeze all living beings solid.
However, in this barren, lifeless land, there was somehow smoke from fires rising into the air.
A golden barrier of light enshrouded a large area, within which one ma.s.sive tent after another had been set up. The sound of chatter and banter reverberated between heaven and earth, creating a peculiar contrast with the rest of this bleak world.
“Sigh… Wasn’t this world supposed to be a wonderful place? I feel like we’re just going to be trapped here until we die!” a man with dragon horns on his head and a pair of bat wings on his back grumbled.
“Shus.h.!.+ This was an opportunity that the evil dragon warriors secured for us at the expense of their lives! It’s very ungrateful of you to be complaining like this,” a Dragon Tribe woman berated.
The man fell silent upon hearing this before averting his gaze with a slightly shameful expression.
Another Dragon Tribe man spoke, “The new Tai Chu Continent is indeed a very good place. I can sense flouris.h.i.+ng vitality beyond the destructive power outside.”
“It’s just that we ended up arriving at a location that is not ideal. Our scouts have already set forth in all directions in search of a better habitat. I’m sure they’ll return soon with good news.”
The living beings that had suddenly appeared here in the Holy Glacial Lands were the evil dragons that had forcefully opened up a spatial pa.s.sageway in order to get here from the Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm.
They were planning to maintain a low profile upon arriving in this world before reproducing for a few generations in order to boost their population.
They had now achieved their first objective of keeping a low profile, but this environment was going to be the death of them!
They had only just arrived when over a hundred evil dragons froze to death!
Thankfully, the Ancient Dragon Empress was able to unleash a powerful enchantment barrier with the help of the five Return to Void Final Stage evil dragons in order to protect their tribal brethren. Otherwise, all of the evil dragons below the Soul Formation Stage were going to freeze to death here.
“I heard all five of the remaining Return to Void Final Stage dragons have suffered severe injuries.”
“The Ancient Dragon Empress is actually in the worst condition among all of them and has already gone into seclusion to facilitate recovery. I wonder when she’ll get better.”
“Sigh, we paid such a heavy price during that battle. We had over thirty thousand tribal brethren, but over a third of them have perished…”
“It was so satisfying watching the Ancient Dragon Empress kill Hades after what that scoundrel had done to all our tribal brethren.”
“I wonder if all of the other Dragon Tribe cultivators died in Ancient Tai Chu Dragon Realm…”
All of the evil dragons discussed among one another. They didn’t really have anything else to do aside from that.
All of the evil dragon guards were also doing nothing in particular.
After all, the enchantment barrier set up by the Ancient Dragon Empress and the five Return to Void Final Stage evil dragons was the best defense. The guards were only standing around, and there wasn’t even any scenery to see as everything was a vast expanse of white.
It was like that until a black spot appeared in the extremely far distance.
The evil dragon guards all sprang to their feet before yelling into the distance.
“Who’s there? Answer now, or you will be regarded as intruders and killed!”
The black spot did not falter. Instead, it was coming closer and closer.
As it drew closer, the black spot was slowly revealed for what it actually was.
This was a delicate youth wearing grey linen garments. He walked barefoot through the snow without leaving any footprints.
There was an extremely pet.i.te little girl hovering in the air beside the delicate youth. She wore a white, veil dress and her silver hair fell to her waist.
The little girl was extremely beautiful, as if she were a flawless artistic masterpiece carefully crafted by the G.o.ds. Her blue eyes were extremely bright and clear with not even the most minuscule hint of impurity within them.
The two of them continued to draw closer, as if they hadn’t heard the warning issued by the evil dragon guards.
“F*ck, are they looking down on us evil dragons?”
“Looks like we’ll have to teach them a lesson!”
“All of our most powerful dragons are in seclusion, and the enchantment barrier has a limited supply of energy. We can’t allow these idiots to deplete any of that energy!”
“Let’s go destroy them!”
A dozen or so Soul Formation Stage evil dragon guards roared as they flew out from the enchantment barrier and unleashed their domains before descending upon the unwelcome intruders with terrifying might.
“Xue Yan, don’t kill them,” the youth spoke in an indifferent voice.
The little girl nodded lightly as a wisp of blue divine light flashed past her body before being released into the air.
All of the evil dragons flying toward them were struck by a biting chill that seeped into their bones.
Their speed gradually became slower and slower, before being completely frozen in place and immobilized before they had even reached the two intruders.
“c.r.a.p! The intruders are very powerful! Hurry and notify our Return to Void Stage mighty figures!” the evil dragons within the enchantment barrier yelled in shock and horror upon seeing this.
Soon, a Return to Void Stage evil dragon exuding a monstrous aura pounced toward the two intruders.
“Oh, this looks like one of the more important dragons here.” The youth looked up as a faint smile appeared on his face. “Hi there, I’m looking for the most powerful being here.”
“You can get f*cked!” The ma.s.sive dragon that was over ten thousand feet in length abruptly swept a gigantic palm through the air toward the youth.
The young girl hovering beside him extended a palm as well with a cold expression.
Bam!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
The ma.s.sive Return to Void Stage evil dragon was bashed through the air for several dozen kilometers, and it soon disappeared into the boundless expanse of white, leaving an anguished wail echoing through the air.
“Gasp…”
All of the evil dragons within the enchantment barrier were petrified upon seeing this.
A Return to Void Stage evil dragon had just been insta-killed!!
Why was it that the first two people they encountered in this world were so terrifying? Was this really a better place than the one they had been in?
They suddenly wanted to go home!
“Xue Yan, I told you to go easy on them. We’re here with friendly intentions. You almost just slapped that dragon to death, did you know that?” The youth’s brows furrowed slightly.
An apologetic expression appeared on the young girl’s face, and her head lowered slightly as she spoke in a faint voice, “I’m sorry. I just progressed to the Dao Integration Stage, so my control over my own power isn’t very precise yet.”
The two of them were conversing very loudly, but the evil dragons that had made their way to the edge of the enchantment barrier had all heard what they were saying. They wished they hadn’t heard the conversation as they were now too scared to even walk straight!
Dao Integration Stage! Their enemy was a legendary Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure!
Their revered Ancient Dragon Empress was only at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage! But this young girl who was seemingly extremely respectful toward that youth was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure!
Some of the evil dragons had already been scared sh*tless. Even more of them were struck by the urge to go home now…
Boom!
The enchantment barrier was broken by the young girl, right before the astonished eyes of all of the evil dragons.
The two of them swaggered in as if they were taking a stroll in the park.
All of a sudden, a light breeze blew past.
A Dragon Tribe woman wearing a rainbow imperial robe suddenly appeared before the two of them.
Her features were quite pale and the energy within her body seemed to be in a lot of turmoil, but she still stood resolutely at the forefront of her tribal brethren as she positioned herself before the two intruders. “Who are you, and why are you here?”
This woman was none other than the empress of the evil dragons, the Ancient Dragon Empress!
The youth’s footsteps faltered, and he looked at the Dragon Tribe woman before him as a warm, gentle smile appeared on his face. “You really are a worthy empress. Let me introduce myself.
“I am Chen Chen, the second heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect.
“Would you be interested in learning about the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect?”
