Chapter 883: We Would Be The Best Combination Team In The World!
The drilling of the Mountain Earthworms caused the tunnel to be full of twists and turns.
Because of the abnormal energy spreading about in unusually large circles of various places, it felt like walking into a maze. If this occurred before, Yue Yang would definitely feel excited about these energy-varied areas everywhere and attempt just about anything to try and come closer to the truth of what happened that year. However, he was currently so anxious to the point where he didn’t care about checking his surroundings at all. Just like an arrow being released from the bow hold, he plunged straight to the point.
“What’s the matter? What happened?” Xia Hou Wei Jie, the eagle-eyed man who was stationed at the end couldn’t help but become astonished when he saw Yue Yang rus.h.i.+ng forward like a shooting star.
“Where is Hui Tai Lang?” Besides the fact that the energy in the entire central area had some oddities to it, there was also a horrible wave of energy vortex.
If he did not see Hui Tai Lang, then he must have entered the energy vortex.
Naturally, Xia Hou Wei Jie knew that Hui Tai Lang had indeed entered the vortex. In fact, he had eaten chicken legs with him as they went exploring the day before. He originally a.s.sumed that things would be okay. With the strength of a Divine Beast, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to explore the Buried Sword Valley that had been in ruins for thousands of years. But he didn’t expect Yue Yang would frantically be searching for him just a day later.
Even full of anxiety.
He had never seen Yue Yang wear that sort of expression before so his entire body tensed up suddenly, “I’ll go in and clear up the way for you!”
Yue Yang hurriedly stopped him, “It’s dangerous inside. It’ll be extremely life-threatening if you go in, so just stay here.”
Xia Hou Wei Jie unsheathed his own sword with a shrill and stopped Yue Yang with a solemn expression, ” Losing Xia Hou Wei Jie means nothing to the Soaring Dragon Continent; but it cannot afford to lose you, the Third Young Master of the Yue Clan! If you don’t agree to let me become your scout, I would rather die right in front of you”
“Fine, be careful!”
Yue Yang glanced at Xia Hou Wei Jie and saw the persistence in his eyes.
He had no choice but to agree with a nod of his head.
Just as Xia Hou Wei Jie turned around and was about to rush into the energy vortex, Yue Yang instantly made a sneak attack against him.
Xia Hou Wei Jie had focused his entire body and mind on the energy vortex, completely letting his guard down against Yue Yang as a palm of a hand diagonally intercepted the base of his neck. Moreover, even if he was on guard, with the gap between his strength and Yue Yang’s, he wouldn’t be able to withstand his sneak attack. In fact, Yue Yang didn’t have to lie to him as he could have also stunned him forcibly. However, he was worried that if the blow was too heavy, it would have caused the eagle-eyed man to suffer some severe damage.
Clap!
Xia Hou Wei Jie’s body stagnated abruptly and he slowly fell to the ground.
Yue Yang formed a gust of wind with his palm and skillfully blew his body into the tunnel that was situated a hundred meters away.
He took another deep breath and suppressed the worry in his heart. This was to restore himself to the invisible state of the Innate Supreme to make sure he would be in his best condition upon entering the energy vortex that leads to an unknown place.
The energy vortex completely penetrated through the limitations of s.p.a.ce, chaotically connecting several dimensions.
There was hardly any choice for Yue Yang but to enter the first dimensional s.p.a.ce at the fastest speed. He found that the world inside was not all that big as the entire s.p.a.ce alienated an unknown form of energy. It was terrifying, similar to the state of a gunpowder barrel— the slightest abnormality will cause a devastating explosion. The second dimensional s.p.a.ce that he chose to go in was a shattered s.p.a.ce. It was estimated that it was formed by the skies of the Buried Sword Valley. However, Yue Yang quickly escaped from the chaos of destruction inside. All of his clothing was tattered by the shattered s.p.a.ce’s energy vortex, smithereens turning into fly ash and disappearing.
Yue Yang repeatedly explored six mutated s.p.a.ces, but found nothing.
In some s.p.a.ces, remaining traces of the ruins were found, perhaps originating from the buildings of the Buried Sword Valley.
Yue Yang didn’t have time to study the remnants of these ancient buildings, knowing that they might be completely destroyed in the next moment because of the abnormal changes caused by his own intrusion. But, he honestly couldn’t care less about that.
Nothing was as important as the life of Hui Tai Lang.
Although Yue Yang usually complained and scolded him, kicking him a few feet away when he was unhappy, in his heart, Hui Tai Lang definitely did not own a position that was as simple as a watchdog. To some extent, YUe Yang seemed very similar to him, at least in terms of tenacious survival will. As a transcending man, perhaps no one else besides Xue Wu Xia and Princess Qian Qian knew just how much effort he had to put in to guarantee his likelihood of survival and to be ahead. Even though Jun Wu You and Old Fox knew that Yue Yang was a hard worker, they still felt that Yue Yang was an immeasurably peerless genius that could make crazy progress without practicing as hard as the others.
In fact, Yue Yang only appeared lazy on the surface. However, the effort he put in that was unbeknownst to the public was definitely more than any other person that was of the same age as him.
His laziness on the surface was just a disguise against his real life.
He was undoubtedly a genius, but the main reason behind his rapid progression and elevation into the higher ranks were because of his efforts.
The same could be said when it came to Hui Tai Lang.
At first glance, Hui Tai Lang seemed to be the laziest among all of the Battle Beasts. Apart from being clever and flattering, he was almost always asleep. However, he was the most outstanding amongst all beasts, second only to Xiao Wen Li and he was also the first to achieve the Divine Beast status.
In fact, Hui Tai Lang’s hard work in growth and fighting were actually absolutely impossible for ordinary Battle Beasts to attempt.
Like Yue Yang, he had a very strong sense of impending crisis as he was always worried that he would lose everything he has now if he didn’t work hard enough. Although he had become a Divine Beast, he was not someone who would surrender but he was not prideful and complacent either. For greater improvement, he had never regarded himself as a superior beast or a destructive demon wolf that was capable of swallowing the world. Instead, his own persona that he insisted on was a mere watchdog that would lose everything should he lose his own master.
It was precisely because his heart had always placed himself on the edge of the bottom line of safety that he would never be satisfied with the status quo.
There was no contract between them except the roles of a human and a beast. Yet, the two resonated with each other.
Yue Yang thought that seeing Hui Tai Lang was like seeing another version of himself. His struggles in surviving in this world was no different from his own.
This was especially true for Hui Tai Lang.
Seeing the master was like seeing the hope of the future.
If he didn’t have the master who had provided him with everything, then the role he admired and the goal that he had always pursued in his heart would disappear. His whole world would be completely turned upside down as well. The Third Young Master of the Yue Clan who looked down upon the world had to exist for himself to exist.
When Yue Yang anxiously looked for Hui Tai Lang, the latter was also missing his master.
“Boom!”
In the mouth of Hui Tai Lang was an extremely giant Battle Beast ‘Volcanic Whale’ that was 5,000 meters long, 800 meters wide and 300 meters high.
Even with his Power of Destruction ability, the demon wolf could not swallow such a huge monster.
The level of the Volcanic Whale was as high as Heaven Rank Level 6.
But what made him feel afraid was the fact that the strength exerted in the Sea of Flames of this Volcanic Whale was far beyond that of the Heaven Rank Level 6. If it manages to return to its own Sea of Flames, it would be the start of Hui Tai Lang’s fall. He, who had already been severely injured, had no second option. He could only rely on his strongest ability, using the Power of Destruction, to devour what was ahead of him.
He swallowed the Volcanic Whale into its belly starting from its head. Using the strength of his own head and neck, he tried to engulf the entirely erect Volcanic Whale which was thousands of meters long, desperately preventing it from returning to the Sea of Flames.
Only in this way could he restrain this Volcanic Whale that could easily bite back.
It struggled desperately, but Hui Tai Lang was stable like a mountain.
If there were no third party interferences and only the Volcanic Whale’s existence, Hui Tai Lang had enough patience to consume this extremely giant whale. Even if it took hundreds and thousands of years with a very low digestion rate, it could still be done.
“Hahahahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
There was a triumphant laughter that echoed in the entire world of the Sea of Flames.
Every burst of laughter shook the Sea of Flames, causing a spark of fire to burst with every echo.
The owner of this laugh was a giant that was nearly a thousand meters high and composed entirely of extreme flames. He was taller than the Giant t.i.tan that Hui Tai Lang had seen before, this was the master of that Volcanic Whale— the Lord of Fire.
Although his human body had been completely destroyed, the powerful soul of the Lord of Fire and the idea of transcendence that was comparable to the G.o.ds easily cultivated the body with extremely intense flames and reorganized himself. The entire Sea of Flames were not only his natural ability, but also its domain of power. In this Sea of Flames, both him and his summoned beasts were invincible.
If it weren’t for the motives of subduing Hui Tai Lang, the Lord of Fire would not make a move that was as simple as summoning a Volcanic Whale to fight.
“Struggling is meaningless, come to me!” Even without a human body, he still had the strength of a Level 8 Innate Supreme. The remaining strength was no less than the Nine Headed Ocean Demon King who led a crowd to destroy the Tong Tian Tower back in the day. The diva, in some aspects, even exceeded her power.
“…” Hui Tai Lang’s mouth, throat and belly were all stuffed fully by the Volcanic Whale’s ma.s.s. He swallowed over the load, making it unable to make any sound at all.
” I already understand your persistence and your intentions. Yes, I don’t want to hide my preferences, so to summarise it up, I admire you very much. Think about it, you and I can be the best combination duo ever! You are the World-Exterminating Demon Wolf whose main attribute is fire, and I am the Lord of Fire who is only a sliver away from becoming a G.o.d. If I become the G.o.d of Fire in the future, you will be the mount of the G.o.d of Fire. Apart from me, you would become the strongest Fire Beast in the world! Your will and wisdom surprised me, but it also made me experience a kind of natural joy and appreciation for your talents. In such a short time, you were able to come up with countermeasures against the Volcanic Whale. And even though you knew I was watching from the sidelines as an owner, you still dared to swallow it boldly… Make a contract with me and be my beast, for I will give you the best things in the world. No matter what you need, I will satisfy you! I dare say that you are the destined beast of my resurrection and you are the opportunity for me to become a G.o.d in the future!” The Lord of Fire patiently inked a contract on the forehead of Hui Tai Lang as he tried to persuade him.
“…” Hui Tai Lang had no other way except to resist it with his will.
“Maybe you are not used to being under the commands of other people, or maybe you are trying to test my patience. Hahaha! Let me tell you, after I escaped the seal, I have stayed here for tens of thousands of years and never had a trace of boredom linger within me. My patience is beyond the tolerance level of mere ordinary people. And, as you must know, people with the Supreme Will would not change their minds very easily. Come on, let’s make a contract! We would truly be the best combination team in the world!” The Lord of Fire persuaded him over and over again in a very patient manner.
“…” Hui Tai Lang refused repeatedly as well. When the Lord of Fire invaded his mind with a powerful surge of mental power, he used his feelings of missing his master, Yue Yang, as a s.h.i.+eld to resist the impact of the opponent’s Supreme Will.
It would be fine if the master was here.
With him here, even if he flies and kicks it casually, it would be much easier for me to replenish some energy.
This guy talks too much and is nagging all day like a toothless old woman. It’s better to be with the master— he would scold and beat us accordingly while he does things quickly and neatly without any muddling. If the master is here, I don’t know if he would be very angry at the fact that I have gotten into trouble again this time. If I knew that the trouble this time was this powerful, I would have escaped sooner.
Hui Tai Lang knew that his master was busy with his marriage and would not come in a short time, but he still wanted to see him suddenly appear in front of him and give him a big surprise!
Even if he was already a beast, he could afford to be alone.
But that kind of habitual dependence on his master would still be indispensable!
[TL note]:
At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!
At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
