Chapter 974: Shi Zun
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It alarmed some people?”
Ye Chen looked outside the cave. Other than the tremors, there was no one to be seen. Could it be that the remaining experts of the Blood Spirit Clan had arrived?
Little Gold’s body erupted with powerful lightning energy, but it did not answer.
Mo Ning came over to Ye Chen’s side and said, “Tomb Master, give me three minutes. Right now, we have not completely merged. I have to use some techniques to forcefully merge our memories. Otherwise, I won’t be qualified to face such powerful experts.”
Mo Ning walked to the back and sat down cross-legged. She held her breath and circulated her cultivation technique. Her blood-red clothes fluttered in the wind, as a red glow emanated from her body.
Ye Chen kept his eyes on the cave entrance. He could feel the tremors getting stronger.
“What exactly is coming?”
After a full ten seconds, a black shadow that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared.
Even though Ye Chen had seen a lot of things, he was still stunned by what he saw.
It was a huge snake that was a hundred meters tall.
The snake’s body was covered with protruding stones, making it look extremely ferocious. One of the stones flashed with a dark light.
When Ye Chen glanced at Little Gold, he noticed that its expression was extremely serious.
Logically speaking, Little Gold’s bloodline came from ancient times, so there were very few demonic beasts that it treated seriously.
This alone meant that this thing would be dangerous and troublesome to deal with.
“The Blood Spirit Clan won’t come to this place for the time being because this is this fellow’s territory. If we don’t get rid of him, it’ll be very difficult for us to leave.”
“Also, I can sense an ancient bloodline within this fellow, so its background is definitely special.”
“If you subdue this beast, you can at least crush three Supreme Emperor realm experts! Even in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, the experts of the Blood Spirit Clan won’t be able to touch you.”
As Little Gold spoke, the giant snake flew over. Its gaze was so cold that it caused Ye Lingtian’s body to stiffen.
“You bunch of ants, I am Shi Zun and this is my territory. Do you know what price you have to pay for trespa.s.sing here?!”
“All of you, kneel down and accept your death!”
A threatening voice rang out in the sky.
The sound waves even shattered Ye Chen’s formation.
Without the formation, Ye Lingtian spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
Even Ye Chen took a few steps back as his blood surged.
On the other hand, Little Gold did not move and let out a deep roar.
Ye Chen glanced at Mo Ning. She seemed to also be affected by this creature’s words, as her expression was contorted and twisted.
Since he had promised to buy her a few minutes, he had to do it. He made a hand seal and forced out another drop of blood essence.
The blood essence dispersed and gathered the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a blood-colored barrier.
The blood-red barrier showed signs of cracking. It seemed that he could not hold on for too long.
Shi Zun looked at the few people at the entrance of the cave indifferently. He sneered, “It seems that you still don’t understand what I mean. Well, the aura you ants are exuding is not bad. The energy of the Blood Spirit Secret Realm can no longer help me break through. However, if I devour you, that might change.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Zun descended from the sky.
Little Gold glanced at Ye Chen and said, “You’re definitely no match for it. It’s a weapon of destruction. I’ll see if I can handle it. If I can restrain it, then you can attack! Listen to my commands!”
“Alright.”
Ye Chen’s left and right hands held the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword and the Nine Nether Sky Spear respectively.
The blood energy around his body surged, and he was ready to attack at any time.
Little Gold let out a furious roar and charged at Shi Zun.
“I’m your opponent. Although I’ve only evolved to the second level and I can’t unleash the true power of my ancient bloodline, it won’t be that easy for you to deal with me!”
Little Gold was as fast as a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing behind Shi Zun. Its sharp claws slashed at Shi Zun’s body, and cracks appeared.
Shi Zun obviously did not expect Little Gold to speak, and more so for it to be so fast and powerful.
It quickly regained its senses and twisted its body in the air. Its tail, which was filled with explosive power, came smashing toward Little Gold!
Little Gold sneered. “Your body is too big. It might be useful against humans or other beasts, but against me, it’s your biggest weakness!”
After saying that, Little Gold’s blue pupil released the violent power of divine lightning. It traveled using the power of divine lightning to fly dozens of meters high and land steadily on Shi Zun’s head.
“Although I don’t know where your vitals are, if you lose your eyes, it will definitely be very painful!”
When Shi Zun heard Little Gold’s words, it tried to shake Little Gold off, but soon realized that it was futile.
At the same time, Little Gold’s sharp blade-like claws, which were infused with the power of divine lightning, stabbed straight toward Shi Zun’s eye!
“d.a.m.n it!” Shi Zun’s eye was instantly dyed with blood, which splattered onto Little Gold’s body.
“Argh!” Shi Zun roared angrily as it swung its tail toward its head in an attempt to kill Little Gold.
Little Gold wanted to destroy Shi Zun’s other eye, but it was too late. It did not even have time to dodge. Instead, it stared at the incoming tail with its red pupil, and a strange power spread through its body.
Runes flashed continuously within the red pupil.
Ding!
Shi Zun’s giant tail actually stopped in front of Little Gold, and was unable to move forward at all.
Even so, Little Gold’s body was also trembling. The power of the red pupil was still depending on its own strength, and having only reached the second stage of evolution, it was still rather weak.
However, Shi Zun was completely shocked by all of this. Its attack had been comparable to a human Supreme Emperor realm expert!
Such a small ant-like creature could actually block its attack?!
Even Ye Chen was stunned. The scene in front of him was too shocking.
“Right now!” Little Gold said while trembling, “Right now! Between its eyebrows!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen came back to his senses. He did not waste any time and gripped the Nine Nether Sky Spear tightly as he took a step forward and charged toward Shi Zun.
