Chapter 644: Mountains Collapsing and Earth Splitting!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as the three Blood Ocean experts stood around in a daze, the five experts from the Elusive World of Immortals had also come down. One of them immediately asked, “Why is there n.o.body here? Did you search everywhere thoroughly?” It was obvious that all of them were very shocked.
“It’s empty! This is extremely strange; how could there be n.o.body down here?” One of the Blood Ocean experts scratched his head and wondered aloud. Ever since his cultivation had reached great heights, he had never scratched his head again. But this time, his long buried habit had resurfaced again…
The eight people knocked and smashed every stone and pebble, but the result of their investigation was the same: this was an empty hole with solid walls of soil and stone surrounding all corners of it. There was definitely no possibility of any hidden tunnels here! The possibility of a tunnel under their feet was even more impossible. The toughness of the ground clearly conveyed this fact!
“So it’s a wasted trip, haha! We were so worried and fidgety all the way down. To think that there was nothing down here…” A person laughed self-mockingly. A hint of relief could be heard in his voice as he continued, “Since there’s nothing down here, let’s hurry back up. This place is so dark, it’s giving me the creeps…”
Since there’s n.o.body here, what was the point of staying there? This place was 50 zhang below ground level; it wasn’t a good place to linger around!
Just as everyone was preparing to return, someone jumped and shouted, “Everyone look! My G.o.d!”
The others were just about to mock this person for shouting so uncouthly when they suddenly jumped and shouted themselves, “F*ck! How come there’s so much water suddenly?”
Water gushed out of the ground abruptly like a fountain. The water was extremely cool, and in the blink of an eye, the water had already reached everyone’s kneecaps! Just a short moment ago, everyone had observed that the ground beneath their feet was extremely dry, until it suddenly wasn’t much different from the clay in an oven. But… how could there be water spouting out so suddenly?
Unfortunately, now was not the time to think about the coolness of the water, or consider where the water was coming from. When water gushed out of a deep hole like that, it only meant one thing… this hole… was about to collapse soon…
This was 50 zhang underground! If the hole collapsed…
The eight people panicked together as they leapt upwards and scaled the walls with a speed as if they were flying. With the strength of these eight, if there weren’t any accidents, there would be a large chance of escape. The water wasn’t rising that quickly, and it would not catch up with them at this rate… But just at this time, the walls around them began to shake violently…
The eight felt their sights darken as they cried out in their hearts. F*ck!
Large portions of soil cascaded down in an instant, with huge rocks intermixed within them! This was 50 zhang underground! The eight had been climbing with all their might when a loud rumbling sound rang out. In that moment, all light went out in the dark hole; it was as if the walls itself were collapsing on them!
A total of eight Superior Supreme top-tier experts were buried alive in the hole!
Zhen Ci Bei and the rest were waiting above for good news. But as they waited, they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet shake. Du Jue’s reaction was the fastest, leaping out of the way before everyone else escaped clear of the hole. At the same time, a loud rumbling sound rang out from the hole as it collapsed inward!
Soil and rock from all directions caved inwards… quickly filling the hole up and sealing it!
Zhen Ci Bei and Zi Jing Hong instantly spat and cursed aloud. “Sh*t! This was a trap!”
In that moment, the merciful look that always seemed to hang on Zhen Ci Bei’s face completely disappeared, causing him to look extremely terrifying. It was as if he was ready to eat someone alive, and his hair flew up as he swore vulgarly. “F*cking dog Chu Qi Hun! Your entire family is comprised of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! To think that you would set this kind of sinister trap, I f*ck your ancestors!!”
A benevolent and kind looking old man suddenly bursting out with expletives like a common woman screaming in the market… just what kind of a scene was it?
How grand was such a scene? I don’t know. but the experts of the three Great Holy Lands surely must have their thoughts about it!
Everyone looked on timidly like a bunch of cicadas in the dead of winter as this white-bearded old Venerable jumped and cursed, his beard flying all over place. The vocabulary of his vulgarities were unimaginably extensive, and even fiercer than a fat woman tripped in front of her own door and had her pants split open…
It was impossible for Zhen Ci Bei to not rage and not be shocked!
In order to prevent any mishaps, he had sent out five experts at the peak of the Superior Supreme realm! Those were experts who were only one step away from reaching the Venerable realm ah, but to think that they were all lost here…
The consequences of such a loss were unthinkable! Its severity was something that even he could not withstand!
Furthermore, this plan was something that he himself had come up with! He’d made the plan while rejecting Zi Jing Hong’s fitting proposition!
Zi Jing Hong was similarly red faced with anger, and his heart bled at the loss of his three experts. However, he was also rejoicing smugly in his heart. F*ck his granny! Let’s see you try to scheme against this daddy again in the future! Is this result satisfactory? Three of my men have been buried, but your side lost five! It’s two more than my Blood Ocean, and all of them are peak level experts! b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, if three of those people buried down there were not my men, this daddy would have secretly ran somewhere to celebrate…
Du Jue’s mouth was pursed into a line, and his face twitched slightly. There was even a look in his eyes that hinted at him rejoicing over the misfortunes of others. However, his mouth was uttering words of sympathy. “To think that this hole was actually a trap ah… how truly unexpected… Gentlemen, please be consoled in your grief. After all, the dead cannot be revived… Xuan Xuan Continent is filled with talent, and it’s still possible to gather a few more experts…”
Du Jue’s well-concealed mockery instantly caused Zhen Ci Bei and Zi Jing Hong to go crazy with anger, almost ascending to the heavens and attaining nirvana from rage!
Were these still the words of a human?
The people had only been buried alive… they weren’t confirmed to be dead, but you’re already offering your condolences?!
Wasn’t that simply a plain curse?!
“Men! Uncover this hole for me with the greatest speed possible! Hurry up!” Zhen Ci Bei’s face was trembling with rage as he placed his hands on his hips and hollered.
On the other side, Zi Jing Hong also hurriedly issued a similar command!
Underground, Jun Mo Xie was sitting with his eyes closed slightly and his hands clasped together. All of a sudden, his arms flew out and numerous waves of muddy yellow light surged out from his body, instantly merging into the soil, spreading far away quickly. Yellow light continued to flood out of his body, unceasingly…
I’m going to make the heavens and earth collapse!
Finally, Jun Mo Xie opened his eyes abruptly as his face paled. His eyes blazed fiercely and with a violent shout, an ocean of yellow light flooded out of his body. After that, his body fell weakly to the ground, and he waved his hands anxiously at the rest. “Hurry! Leave this place! The farther the better!!”
Chu Qi Hun grabbed his body and dashed into the dark tunnel without hesitation; Mei Xue Yan followed quickly behind and the group disappeared in the blink of an eye…
On the surface, just as the three Holy Lands were beginning to try to dig out their comrades, and one of the experts had barely dug out a piece of earth, the ground underneath their feet started to surge and tremor violently!
The huge piece of land was moving crazily as if it were dancing in joy!
The earthquake this time was much stronger than the earlier one! Even the stones on the ground were jumping high into the sky from the tremor…
The crowd only felt the ground beneath their feet turn unstable. Du Jue raised his head, looked, and his face changed drastically, paling in an instant. Raising his voice, he hollered, “F*ck me! The mountains are collapsing… how could the mountains fall all of a sudden… everyone run ah…” With a sou sound like that of arrows leaving the bow, the Supreme Golden City experts immediately followed after him…
“Don’t go! The rescue isn’t complete yet, no one is allowed to…” Zhen Ci Bei was so angry that he was on the verge of coughing out blood. But as he turned around, his eyes also grew wide, and the words were stuck in his mouth!
The two mountain peaks on both sides of the valley were wobbling heavily; first, the snow atop the peaks rumbled and gushed down with the momentum of tens of thousands of horses galloping together… This was an avalanche! But that was not the end. The mountain peaks continued to shake, and suddenly, like a drunk person tipping over, it tilted off the cliff…
Two mountain peaks suddenly collapsed together, one on the left, and the other on the right, smas.h.i.+ng everything in their paths as they gravitated toward the center! Countless rocks of all sizes accompanied it, their weight crus.h.i.+ng and burying everything along the mountain side. The momentum of this landfall was extremely powerful, like a ten thousand zhang dike was suddenly breached! The scene could only be described by the idiom: Mt. Tai cras.h.i.+ng down!
Zhen Ci Bei sputtered and gasped as he ran, shouting shrilly all the way. “Hurry up and run!” The tone of his voice had turned significantly higher in that moment…
The group of around 100 experts fled blindly like birds startled by an eagle…
Unfortunately, they had not reacted as quickly as Du Jue, and quite a large number of people were buried in the avalanche, screaming wretchedly… They could only use their Xuan Qi to resist the crus.h.i.+ng weight of the debris for as long as possible…
The land continued to shake, and the mountains fell apart. The commotion carried on for the time it took for a pot of tea to boil.
Looking at the valley again from this vantage point, the two mountains on the side were now of the same height… a vast expanse of flat land!
The area between the bases of the two mountains was originally a long valley. But now, everything was completely level…
Instantaneous changes, oceans turning into mulberry fields… Wasn’t this the same?!
The experts of the three Holy Lands stood panting raggedly atop the vast “plains,” their eyes staring blankly with disbelief at the scene before them. Each person only felt a chilly feeling down their backs, and cold sweat continuously spouted from their skin. Their faces were green and their lips were pale; their expressions were devoid of any feeling! This kind of heavenly might; who could possibly stand before it?
Under the snow and rocks, faint groans could be heard from time to time, and numerous huge rocks moved slightly… One had to say that these Superior Supreme experts truly had tough bones ah. Such a grand landfall was actually unable to smash them to death! Of course, their bodies were decorated with many different colors…
Their bodies were filled with green, purple, and red… These kind of decorations were quite different from wedding decorations…
Complete silence!
All of a sudden—
“Rescue them ah ah… you bunch of r.e.t.a.r.ded sons of b*tches! Have you all turned into dummies from shock?!” Zhen Ci Bei beat his chest with exasperation and raged. “If this old man did not say anything, would you all plan to continue standing there and watch them struggle? A bunch of useless tras.h.!.+ F*ck your grannies…” As he scolded, his anger rose, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth! Both his eyes had also turned blood red!
***
A full seven days had pa.s.sed before this area was more or less tidied up. The three Holy Lands had sent a total of 152 experts here initially; 17 had been crushed by the crumbling mountains, of which two had broken their legs. Three people broke their arms, and the rest all had various injuries of varying degrees. Fortunately, no one lost their lives.
This group of old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds truly had tough bones ah! Their several hundred years of cultivation really weren’t not weak…
After everything was done, everyone finally moved to dig up that first hole. In one afternoon’s time, they dug down 40 zhang , finally uncovering the eight people. Those eight were truly very unlucky… They had been buried alive, and just when they were striving to crawl their way back out, the mountains collapsed on them, and the huge rocks smashed down, battering the ground like giant hammers and compacting the ground even further. The eight were directly crushed to death, and then suffocated…
