Eternal Sacred King Chapter 236 to 243

 Chapter 236: Escape

Two figures stumbled out of the primordial forest and descended before the sea of bones.

“Thank you for saving me, master.”

The Blood Crow King said with lingering fear.

If not for the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord, given its own strength, it would not have been able to make it out of the primordial forest.

The Palace Lord nodded and turned back to look at the remnant ferocious beasts that were gradually retreating in the forest before heaving a sigh of relief.

Even with his strength as a Void Reversion, he had to exercise caution while crossing that primordial forest.

If he had truly encountered the king of the forest, even he would have to retreat to protect himself.

“Master, are we still chasing? That lad’s only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Could he have truly made it out of that primordial forest?” The Blood Crow King’s tone was clearly filled with doubt.

Surveying his surroundings, the Palace Lord noticed some traces left behind by Heaven Asura Sect and Purple Cloud Sect. He nodded his head. “Yes, that lad is quite lucky. He must have joined the crowd and managed to get out by chance.”

Narrowing his gaze, the Palace Lord looked at the sea of bones before him in silence.

There was a deep shock in the depths of the Blood Crow King’s eyes.

There were so many white bones piled into a sea.

Furthermore, these bones left behind from the primordial era had yet to decompose till this day. Just how strong were the owners of these bones back then?

“Master, are we crossing this sea of bones?” The Blood Crow King asked at the side warily.

Since there was no trace of Su Zimo in this place, logically, it should mean that Su Zimo entered the sea of bones.

However, for some reason, the Blood Crow King felt a sense of trepidation when he faced the sea of bones.

The Palace Lord nodded. “I’ll locate that lad using the secret skill.”

“Blood Curse Attraction!”

The Palace Lord shouted softly and a dark glow emanated from his eyes.

Like ink, the glow started to spread out before condensing into the word character for ‘green’ in midair, emitting strange energy ripples.

“Oh?”

The Palace Lord exclaimed softly as the character dissipated.

The Blood Crow King asked, “What’s wrong, master?”

Frowning, the Palace Lord shook his head. “It doesn’t make sense. That lad’s location shows that he’s already crossed the sea of bones! How did he manage to do it as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

“Could there be more to the background of that lad than it seems?”

The Palace Lord’s gaze flickered as he fell into deep thought.

“Wait here. I’ll go take a look myself.”

The Palace Lord said to the Blood Crow King before walking to the edge of the sea of bones and chanting a mysterious incantation.

Right after, the Palace Lord bit his tongue gently and spat out a drop of blood essence.

That blood essence, under the augmentation of the incantation, formed a blood-colored barrier that enveloped the surroundings of the Palace Lord.

The Palace Lord stepped foot into the sea of bones!

He was a few steps in when the sea of bones surged with bone waves, seemingly sensing something.

Countless white bones surged from the ground, taking on the form of white boned ferocious beasts; terrifying and menacing, mysterious flames danced in the sockets of their skulls.

“Roar!”

Waves of roars sounded from the sea of bones as the winds and clouds churned.

The Blood Crow King’s legs turned jelly as it witnessed the scene from the edge of the sea of bones.

Given his cultivation, it could naturally sense the frightening aura that was being emitted from those white boned ferocious beasts.

Any one of those white boned ferocious beasts would be able to crush him into pieces with ease!

Surrounded by the many white boned ferocious beasts, the Palace Lord continued forward with a calm expression.

The white boned ferocious beasts stared at the Palace Lord and identified the blood mist surrounding the latter. After hesitating for a long time, they dispersed and fell back into the sea of bones, turning everything calm once more.

...

At the moment when the Palace Lord released his secret skill to investigate Su Zimo’s whereabouts...

At the end of the sea of bones, at the foot of a godly mountain, Su Zimo’s eyes turned a faint green hue as he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his mind.

Right after, Su Zimo’s vision blurred and once more, he saw the blood-robed youth who had died in his hands charging at him with a sinister smile!

That throbbing pain and hallucination disappeared in an instant.

Before long, a commotion stirred from the sea of bones behind him, as if someone had barged in.

“They’re actually chasing me here?”

Su Zimo’s expression turned extremely terrible.

He originally thought that the primordial forest alone was enough to discourage his pursuers from continuing.

But from the looks of it, the other party still decided to enter the sea of bones!

There were only two possibilities now.

If the other party could cross the sea of bones, he would definitely die.

The second scenario was that the white boned ferocious beasts in the sea of bones would kill off all of his pursuers!

Su Zimo did not dare to take the gamble.

Looking at the rope that was tying him up, Su Zimo tried to budge but realized that it did not show signs of loosening.

Sneering internally, Su Zimo released his blood qi explosively.

Bang! Boom! Boom!

His bloodline churned within his body, letting out a rich demonic qi as blood filled his flesh while his tendons shook – Su Zimo’s body was expanding!

“Buzz!”

The Demon Suppressing Rope shone brightly, forming a resplendent atmosphere, before suppressing Su Zimo’s blood qi instantly!

“Ugh!”

Su Zimo’s expression changed as he grunted.

The Demon Suppressing Rope did not loosen. Instead, it dug deeper into Su Zimo’s flesh such that blood oozed out, staining his green robes.

Instantly, Su Zimo calmed his blood qi and allowed his body to return to normal.

The wounds that were inflicted on his body by the Demon Suppressing Rope were nothing but superficial wounds.

With Su Zimo’s immense healing powers, he would be able to recover very quickly.

However, how he should escape remained a tricky problem.

Su Zimo could not just wait foolishly for the gray robed cultivator to return and undo the Demon Suppressing Rope for him.

He would probably be a dead man by then.

A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.

Since he was unable to break free from it directly, how about attempting Tendons Transformation?

A series of crackling sounds could be heard from Su Zimo’s body as his tendons and bones echoed at the same time.

Su Zimo’s figure shrank rapidly at a discernible pace.

In the blink of an eye, he had shrunk to a mere meter tall and was extremely short!

However, to Su Zimo’s shock, the Demon Suppressing Rope had changed along with him! It kept shrinking while remaining tightly wrapped around his body such that he couldn’t escape!

This was the reason why the Demon Suppressing Rope was so powerful.

After demon beasts manage to cultivate an Inner Core, they could alter their appearances and take on a human form, no matter what sort of massive beasts they originally were.

However, if they were bound by the Demon Suppressing Rope, they would not be able to escape no matter the sort of transformations they undertook!

Su Zimo was at his wit’s end.

Right then, Night Spirit came over and extended its sharp claws that flashed with a cold glint. It hooked onto the rope and tore it apart continuously!

Moments later, the Demon Suppressing Rope snapped!

The moment it snapped, the light on the Demon Suppressing Rope dimmed and it fell from Su Zimo’s body.

Su Zimo was elated.

“Heeya!”

With an urging cry, Night Spirit turned around and sprinted up the mountain.

Su Zimo followed hurriedly.

Chapter 237: Extinct Primordial Life Form

The gray robed cultivator tiptoed his way through the mountain, looking nervous and furtive.

He held his folding fan in one hand and a metal rod as thick as a finger in his other.

At the tip of the metal rod, a slender needle passed through it, constantly spinning and guiding his direction.

Once in a while, the gray robed cultivator would stop in his tracks and wait for the needle to stabilize in a certain direction before heading in that direction.

With the constant pauses, the gray robed cultivator’s speed was not fast.

“This old man’s Earth Spirit Ruler is not reliable at all. Spinning here and there, it’s not even giving me a fixed direction.”

The gray robed cultivator mumbled as he walked.

On the other side.

Night Spirit brought Su Zimo through the forest of the godly mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Its nose twitched as it sprinted, as if smelling for something, as it walked further and further into the godly mountain.

After a long time, Night Spirit came before a gigantic cave and stopped.

Su Zimo raised his head and looked at the cave in shock. His mouth was slightly agape and he was speechless for a moment.

The size of the cave was way beyond his imagination!

In front of the cave entrance, Su Zimo was like an ant before a majestic palace hall – he felt incomparably small.

Just who was it who could have opened up such a massive cave in this godly mountain?

There were no signs of any saber or axe marks at the boundaries of the cave.

Such a method could be considered as a work of god!

What sort of a purpose did this cave hold with its size?

“Oo, Oo!”

Night Spirit bit the hem of Su Zimo’s shirt and continued to tug at him, gesturing for him to enter the cave quickly.

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo could not help but turn and look back before entering the cave.

That single look caused Su Zimo to stare fixedly, unable to shift his gaze away.

The massive cave was halfway up the mountain.

Su Zimo had the high ground vantage from where he was and he naturally had a wider view of the sea of bones behind him.

He could vaguely see that there were two rows of stone pillars in the sea of bones and they were nearly as tall as half the mountain’s height!

The top of the two rows of stone pillars leaned towards the middle, embedding into a huge, thick beam that was full of spikes and was several times thicker than the stone pillars.

“What exactly is this thing?”

There was a flash of doubt in Su Zimo’s eyes.

He had a nagging feeling that the stone pillars and beam resembled something when combined.

After pondering for a while, Su Zimo had no clue and followed Night Spirit into the cave.

...

At the same time, the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord crossed the sea of bones safely and let out a heave of relief.

The Palace Lord was motionless as he focused his senses and could not help but sneer, “Still fleeing! I want to see where you can flee to!”

Following the guidance of the blood curse, the Palace Lord rushed up the godly mountain.

Before long, a figure with gray robes appeared in front of a huge cave on the middle of the mountain, wielding a folding fan in one hand and the Earth Spirit Ruler on another.

“Hehe, the old man did not lie. Even though the Earth Spirit Ruler’s a little slow, it didn’t get it wrong. I really found it!”

Looking at the gigantic cave before him, the gray robed cultivator could but help but chuckle with a smug expression.

“If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. If it’s not, there’s no need to force things.”

Shaking his head, the gray robed cultivator waved his folding fan and sang softly in delight as he entered the cave.

...

Su Zimo had long realized that ever since they stepped foot into this primordial ruin, Night Spirit had been different from usual.

It was a little excited and nervous at the same time.

This was the first time complex emotions as such appeared on Night Spirit.

Back when Dao Lord Extreme Fire perished, he did not make it clear whether Night Spirit came from a primordial or ancient ruin.

Su Zimo had the suspicion that Night Spirit might have some intricate connection with this primordial ruin.

A bolder assumption would be to guess that Night Spirit originated from this primordial ruin!

After all, Night Spirit’s behavior had been peculiar along the entire journey.

The cave was extremely empty and there was almost no obstruction.

Rushing for a long time, the man and beast finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

“This is...”

At the end of the cave stood a grayish-white oval object that was as tall as a person!

Su Zimo stared in disbelief as he muttered to himself, “That’s an... egg?”

What sort of a demon beast would lay such a massive egg?

Su Zimo came before the gigantic egg and reached out to touch and feel it.

There were no patterns on the egg, which meant that it had not been born for long; a month at best.

In that case, the phenomenon that the many cultivators witnessed a month ago should have been caused by the birth of this demon beast egg.

Su Zimo recalled all the information he had regarding demon beast eggs.

After a moment, he still could not recall anything about the sort of demon beasts that could possibly give birth to this frighteningly massive egg.

Night Spirit navigated through Su Zimo’s robes and arrived at his chest area before long, watching him with blinking eyes, seemingly showing off.

Gazing at the egg before him, Su Zimo frowned and pondered.

He had the feeling that if he were to connect the scattered pieces of information along the entire journey, he should be able to obtain an answer.

The stone pillars, the beam, the cave, the egg...

A flash of light flickered through Su Zimo’s mind.

At the thought of that possibility, Su Zimo’s expression changed starkly.

Back when he first saw the gray stone pillars in the sea of bones, Su Zimo was puzzled.

Why would there be so many stone pillars in the sea of bones?

Furthermore, the surface of those stone pillars were smooth as jade – why wasn’t there any trace of aging despite the gap between the primordial era and present times?

What sort of stone could be so resolute?

It was till this very moment that Su Zimo finally understood.

Those were not stone pillars at all!

Those were... bones!

It was the skeleton of an incomparably strong being in the past!

The two rows of ‘stone pillars’ were in reality the ribs of this powerful life form!

As for the even thicker ‘beam’ in the middle that was filled with spikes, that was the spine of the life form!

The reason why it was in the sea of bones was because they were bones to begin with!

This cave that he was in right now should have been opened up by the race of that terrifying life form!

Just what sort of a being was it that could have possessed such a frighteningly massive body?

Even after dying for so many years with its flesh decomposed, the bones were still smooth as jade and were immortal – what sort of cultivation realm did this life form possess in the past?

A primordial life form!

To think that primordial life forms which were already extinct in Tianhuang Mainland were buried here!

If there were no surprises, the gigantic egg before him should have been laid by that massive primordial life form.

At that thought, Su Zimo gulped.

Piak!

Suddenly, a crisp sound reverberated in the cave behind him.

Su Zimo’s pupils constricted instantly.

Sprawled against his chest, Night Spirit had actually reached out with its claws and... pierced the huge egg in front of them!

Chapter 238: Big Trouble

“Night Spirit, you...”

Su Zimo was speechless.

Even though Night Spirit had not been born for long, it was extremely intelligent and sharp.

Whether it was the stunning display of killing a Golden Core spirit demon back in Dongling Valley or its various actions upon entering the primordial ruin, it was clear that Night Spirit was extraordinary.

But this time, Su Zimo realized that Night Spirit had gotten into trouble.

Furthermore... it was a trouble that could get them killed!

The egg in front of them had clearly just been born.

This also meant that the unknown primordial life form that laid this egg could possibly be nearby.

Even though he had not witnessed the terror of that primordial life form personally, he could understand everything through the forest and sea of bones outside.

A single finger of that terrifying life form should be enough to crush them into a pulp!

“Heeya!”

Night Spirit cried out softly, as if it wanted Su Zimo to hug it.

Su Zimo’s mind was in a mess as he carried Night Spirit by instinct.

Stretching its neck, Night Spirit only relented its claws when it got closer to the gigantic egg.

A tiny hole appeared on the surface of the egg, leaking out with a golden juice that was shining with a bedazzling, crystalline glow.

Instantly, Night Spirit opened its mouth and sucked at the hole.

Gulp! Gulp!

Night Spirit swallowed heavily.

“I-It’s eating?”

Su Zimo watched everything in disbelief with widened eyes.

Instinctively, he wanted to yank Night Spirit away.

However, on second thought, even if he were to carry Night Spirit away right now, they’ve already caused the trouble.

It was clear that the egg was not going to survive.

Furthermore, ever since Night Spirit was born, despite Su Zimo, monkey, spirit tiger and little crane’s immense efforts to prepare various sources of food for it, it was mostly disinterested.

Night Spirit did not touch the flesh of wild beasts, ordinary spirit beasts and spirit demons at all.

It would only have a slight taste when it came to the flesh of ancient remnant beasts.

During this period of time, Night Spirit’s body had barely grown as well. It merely gained a little bit of weight with some coarseness to its skin where faint patterns had started to appear.

It was rare to see Night Spirit so fond of this egg juice. It had an intoxicated expression as it devoured with a slight hint of greediness.

Su Zimo’s heart softened as he lamented to himself, “Forget it. Let it have it’s fill then.”

The egg juice entered Night Spirit’s stomach continuously and the eggshell became a little transparent – it was clear to tell the speed in which Night Spirit was devouring the egg juice.

Under Su Zimo’s gaze, Night Spirit consumed a full half of the egg juice before coming to a stop!

The demon beast egg was as tall as a person.

And... how old was Night Spirit?

If he had not witnessed it personally, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine how Night Spirit could have taken in that much egg juice with its tiny little body.

Night Spirit’s belly was rotund and was almost like an airbag; a gentle shake could echo with the sound of water flowing within.

It looked at the egg in front of it, still unsatisfied. Sticking out its tongue, its eye lit up and it licked its lips.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying from overeating?”

Su Zimo shook his head and chided in laughter.

However, it made sense.

Such an opportunity might never happen again – it was no wonder why Night Spirit was so greedy.

“Since you’re done eating, let’s quickly retreat and see if we can escape.”

Su Zimo had a feeling that the shattering of that egg might have already alarmed the frightening existence in the primordial ruin!

“Heeya!”

Night Spirit called out.

The moment it opened its mouth, it spat out a cluster of shiny and bedazzling rays.

In that glow, there was an extremely rich and pure life essence. Su Zimo’s body shuddered as his flesh was being nourished by that glow – he could sense the various magical changes that were happening within his body.

Shutting its mouth, Night Spirit gestured and pointed to the demon beast egg in front of it.

“You want me to eat the rest?”

Su Zimo understood what Night Spirit meant and was shocked.

It nodded immediately, indicating that the egg juice was the most delicious thing ever and urged Su Zimo to consume it quickly.

Su Zimo was a little hesitant.

Night Spirit started gesturing once more, telling him that it could no longer eat anymore and that it would be a waste to leave the remaining egg juice here.

Gritting his teeth, Su Zimo’s heart hardened.

Since they were already in big trouble, what was he still worrying about?

Placing Night Spirit into his robes, Su Zimo walked up and lifted the gigantic demon beast egg with both hands before gulping down in mouthfuls from that small little hole.

“The taste is a little strong, not entirely delicious.”

A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.

The refreshing and smooth juice flowed down his throat into his stomach.

Boom!

In that instant, Su Zimo felt like his body was about to explode!

The energy contained in that juice was much more than Su Zimo had imagined.

The moment it entered his stomach, the energy burst out into streams of divine lights that ran wildly in Su Zimo’s body, flowing through all limbs.

It was nourishing his skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow and five organs.

At that moment, Su Zimo realized that the juice in that egg was a great tonic for him!

It was even better than any demon beast Inner Cores or whatnot!

If he could digest all the energy of that juice, he might even be able to attain greater mastery of the Organs Refinement section!

Opportunity!

This was an unimaginable opportunity for him!

Of course, the prerequisite was for him to be able to escape that place.

Su Zimo swallowed heavily.

He finally understood the feeling of why Night Spirit was still longing for it even after it finished eating.

There was probably nothing in this world that could be purer than the energy of that juice!

That power was way too strong!

It barged wildly through Su Zimo’s body, spilling with brilliant rays of light through his pores.

A bedazzling light surrounded Su Zimo and shrouded all around. In that luminescence, he vaguely resembled a god!

Su Zimo knew that the energy contained by that juice was extremely rare.

With a deep breath, he quickly closed his pores shut to seal the essence qi within his body.

However, the energy was way too massive and thick – it was difficult to contain everything in a short while given Su Zimo’s physique.

His eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth began to emit rays of light, surging with vitality in a frightening manner.

Under the rush of that power, a faint, green glint appeared in Su Zimo’s eyes!

Before long, the evil power that was hidden in Su Zimo’s eyes was purged by the pure power of the egg juice.

That evil power was none other than the one left behind in Su Zimo’s body by the blood-robed youth’s Blood Slave Art.

Two green droplets of water trickled from the corner of Su Zimo’s eyes down onto the ground, condensed without dissipating and emitting a ghastly light!

Su Zimo was elated.

He never expected that he would be able to get rid of the latent danger within his body after consuming the egg juice!

This meant that as long as Su Zimo escaped from this place, his pursuers could no longer track him using any secret skills!

Chapter 239: Unforeseen Situation

Before long, Su Zimo drank all the juice from the demon beast egg.

He did not wish to waste the essence energy in his body and immediately worked to close his pores, eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth. The warm currents surged through his entire body and it felt like exploding!

Body Tempering, Tendons Transformation, Bones Strengthening, Marrow Cleansing, Organs Refinement... the five sections of sutras reverberated in Su Zimo’s mind.

He tried his best to suppress that energy.

After a short while, the energy was evidently calmer and was no longer colliding rampantly within his body.

Even then, Su Zimo did not dare to unlock his pores, eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth.

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo’s heart stirred – he could vaguely sense that someone was speeding towards his direction with their robes rustling loudly.

His expression changed slightly and he quickly turned back.

...

After entering the cave, the gray robed cultivator put away the Earth Spirit Ruler.

Even though the cave was massive and did not seem like it was made by humans, the interior was not complex.

He would definitely reach the deepest part of the cave if he walked along it.

After a while, the gray robed cultivator suddenly stopped in his tracks and frowned.

“Strange. Why does it feel like something is off?”

The gray robed cultivator murmured before continuing forward, opening one of his palms and starting to divine by using his thumb to make contact with the other four fingers.

“Oh?”

A moment later, the gray robed cultivator’s expression changed starkly as he gasped, “Unforeseen circumstances? How did this happen?”

He grit his teeth and hastened in speed, rushing towards the depth of the cave.

“Could someone have arrived before me and spoiled my plans?”

“Who could it be?”

“That’s impossible. There were only two of us who managed to cross the primordial forest and sea of bones. Furthermore, I restrained that green-robed cultivator using my Demon Suppressing Rope and there’s no way he could have broken free from it.”

“What went wrong?”

The gray robed cultivator’s mind was in a mess as countless thoughts filled his mind.

Turning around a corner, his vision cleared up.

A gigantic egg entered his view.

The gray robed cultivator finally calmed down. Heaving a sigh of relief, he thought to himself, “Thank goodness, thank goodness. I’m not too late. The egg is still here.”

However, the gray robed cultivator found himself worked up at the next moment.

There was a green-robed cultivator beside that gigantic egg!

The green-robed cultivator seemed to have heard his footsteps and turned around suddenly; that person’s robes around the chest was undone and there was a little dog head popping out from it.

The man and beast were pursing their lips tightly with a strange expression, as if they were holding their breaths.

“It’s you guys?”

The gray robed cultivator was stunned for a moment, slightly dazed.

He could not understand why the person that he had restrained at the foot of the mountain with the Demon Suppressing Rope had arrived before him.

“It’s him?”

Su Zimo was also stunned for a moment.

Instantly, Su Zimo realized that the goal of that gray robed cultivator was the demon beast egg beside him!

A little guilty, Su Zimo could not help but avert the gaze of the gray robed cultivator.

Because the gray robed cultivator’s mind was entirely focused on the demon beast egg, he did not notice Su Zimo’s abnormality. He walked forth and said at the same time, “Fellow Daoist, I’m not going to bother about how you managed to break free from the Demon Suppressing Rope. However, that egg is mine!”

“But of course, given your cultivation, you’re not going to be my match if you insist on fighting me for the egg.”

The gray robed cultivator was filled with confidence as he glanced askew at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo did not say anything – he did not even dare to breathe.

Right now, as long as Su Zimo were to open his mouth and speak, beautiful lights would definitely burst forth from his mouth in a bedazzling manner.

At that moment, the gray robed cultivator had already arrived in front of the demon beast egg. He swept his gaze across the surface and frowned, muttering softly, “Why is there a white spot that’s glowing...”

The voice stopped abruptly!

The gray robed cultivator could no longer continue.

He stared straight at that tiny hole on the demon beast egg. With a livid expression, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was at the brink of collapse.

“Boo~”

Night Spirit was simply way too young and could not hold it in anymore as it opened its mouth and shouted.

A massive aura of essence appeared for a brief moment.

“Oh?”

Seemingly sensing something, the gray robed cultivator spun around.

Su Zimo saw that they could no longer hide it and no longer held back, opening his mouth and exhaling deeply.

Right after, brilliant light spilled from Su Zimo’s mouth and nose, forming a dazzling atmosphere.

“Fuc-”

There was no way the gray robed cultivator did not know what happened upon seeing that. Instantly, he was fuming and his mouth swelled from anger, nearly puking out blood.

There was no way Su Zimo would dare to linger any longer as he deployed Divine Steed Fleeting and sped out of the cave immediately.

“F*ck, you’re still trying to escape?”

The gray robed cultivator bellowed with reddened eyes.

Waving his arm, the sleeves of his robes expanded as he circled around Su Zimo a couple of times before yanking the latter back!

“Hey, what are you doing!”

Su Zimo’s voice was questioning despite his situation. Unexpectedly, the moment he opened his mouth, a ray of light sprayed on the gray robed cultivator’s face.

“Fuc-”

The gray robed cultivator was trembling from anger as he grabbed Su Zimo’s collar and said through gritted teeth, “You actually ate the egg! You f*cking actually ate the egg! That’s a waste of that treasure! Do you know what sort of a life form that egg contains, kid?!”

When he saw the frenzied appearance of the man, Su Zimo was afraid that he might lose his mind and replied honestly, “I don’t know.”

“You ate it without knowing it?!”

The gray robed cultivator let loose of Su Zimo and wailed as if his parents had passed away, “I went through so much hardship to come all the way here just for this egg. But, you bloody ate it up! D... Damn it!”

At that moment, the gray robed cultivator even had suicidal thoughts.

This Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had appeared out of nowhere had screwed him to death!

If the old man were to know about this, he would probably be mocked to death.

“Kid, just wait to die. To think that you would dare eat that egg, fufufu.”

Looking at Su Zimo, the gray robed cultivator sneered.

Su Zimo did not reply.

The more the gray robed cultivator thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He moved forward and clenched his teeth. “How much of it did you eat? You’re even spewing out light from your mouth! How did you manage to eat everything alone?!”

“Burp... ”

Right then, Night Spirit who was initially hidden in Su Zimo’s robes popped its head out and burped; there were also a few shining rays of light that spewed from it’s nose and mouth.

“Fuc-”

The gray robed cultivator rolled his eyes and felt dizzy, almost fainting.

“Even that dog ate so much of it! Y-Y-You...!”

He pointed at Su Zimo’s face and was so pissed that he was speechless.

All of a sudden, the gray robed cultivator seemed to have thought of something and ran to the egg hurriedly. He flipped the folding fan in his hand and smashed it into pieces.

There was not much juice left in the egg; only some were still stuck on the eggshells.

“I don’t care anymore! I’m going to try some too!”

The gray robed cultivator muttered to himself and could not be bothered any longer. Raising a piece of eggshell with both hands, he stuck out his tongue and licked it without any regard for his image...

Chapter 240: Earth-Shattering

Under the guidance of the blood curse’s power, the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord arrived at a cave in the middle of the godly mountain.

“This cave...”

Raising his head, he looked at the massive entrance and a hint of fear and hesitation flashed through the depths of his eyes.

“Could that lad have really ran inside?”

Frowning, the Palace Lord’s eyes flickered and he was momentarily at a loss.

Given his identity, forcefully crossing the primordial forest and sea of bones might not anger the terrifying beings of this place. At most, he would just reveal his identity.

However, stepping foot into this cave would definitely lead to fatal trouble!

Right as the Palace Lord was hesitating, an extremely terrifying aura and a lethal killing intent suddenly came from behind the godly mountain!

When he sensed that aura, the Palace Lord’s expression froze.

...

The depths of the cave.

The gray robed cultivator licked every single piece of eggshell thrice.

The eggshells were so clean that they could reflect figures and could be used as mirrors.

Su Zimo was dumbstruck.

He lowered his head and looked at Night Spirit, thinking to himself, “Even if Night Spirit were to lick it, it probably wouldn’t be able to lick this cleanly. This person’s zodiac sign must be a dog.”

There was no way Su Zimo could have known that just the egg juice stuck on the shell alone was enough to have the gray robed cultivator go crazy!

The energy was extremely pure and rich without a single bit of impurities. If it was completely absorbed by the body, the changes to one’s physique was obvious.

Grinding his teeth, the gray robed cultivator glared at Su Zimo and Night Spirit at the side begrudgingly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

That man and beast had eaten so much that their bodies could not take it in completely such that they spewed out light the moment they opened their mouths – what a waste!

It was one thing for someone else to eat the juice, but a dog?!

At the side, Su Zimo frowned as the uneasiness in his heart intensified.

He had long wanted to leave this place, but the gray robed cultivator had no intention of letting him do so.

Out of helplessness, Su Zimo could only stand there and wait while watching the gray robed cultivator lick the eggshells in a frenzied manner.

Seeing that the gray robed cultivator was about to lick them once more, Su Zimo could not help but probe, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you bring those eggshells with you so that you can continue licking when you get back?”

The gray robed cultivator paused in his actions and his mouth cramped while fire burned in his eyes.

Eggshell?!

Why the f*ck am I left with just the eggshells?!

It’s all because of you and that black dog of yours!

Before the gray robed cultivator could get angry, Su Zimo reminded him, “I truly did not know what the life form in that egg was, but what I know is that if we don’t leave right now, we’re definitely going to be dead!”

Pouting his lips, the gray robed cultivator licked his lips, unsatisfied.

He glanced askew at Su Zimo with disdain and waved off his hand casually, “Let’s correct that statement. You’re the one that’s definitely going to be dead, not me.”

Su Zimo frowned.

Seemingly thought of something else, the gray robed cultivator continued, “Right, I’ve got to correct that even further. Even if you were to escape now, it’s too late. By eating that egg, you’ve already alarmed the life form in this place. Even if you can fly into the heavens or burrow into hell, you will still die!”

“Don’t forget, you ate it too.”

Su Zimo pointed to the eggshell in the hands of the gray robed cultivator and sneered, “I don’t believe that the life form here will spare your life.”

“Fufu.”

Chuckling, the gray robed cultivator shook his head. “You don’t have to worry about that. I naturally have my own means of leaving this place. You can just wait here for death obediently.”

When he heard that, Su Zimo’s mind went rampant even though he looked indifferent on the surface.

Swoosh!

Right then, an extremely terrifying aura descended and enveloped the surroundings of that entire godly mountain, surging in from outside the cave!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Right after, a loud and clear roar rolled from the sky behind the godly mountain. It was extremely fast and came close almost in an instant!

Su Zimo had lived in Cang Lang Mountain Range for an entire year and had seen countless demon beasts.

However, he had never heard a roar as such.

It was reverberating and its magnitude swept through the nine heavens in all directions!

A boundless power and anger was contained within that roar!

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The entire godly mountain began to shake as cracks appeared in the cave, causing countless rocks to roll down into dust clouds.

This was what earth-shattering truly meant!

A mere roar could cause the godly mountain to crack apart and even show signs of collapsing!

Under the terrifying roar, Su Zimo’s body burst out with a bloody mist – his muscles and flesh were cracked with bloody lines in a frightening manner.

Grunting, Su Zimo’s head was splitting and his face was pale.

The power of the sound was way too terrifying!

Su Zimo’s body was stronger than most Golden Cores.

And now, under this roar, his body was actually showing signs of breaking apart!

His tendons were snapped and cracks appeared on his bones while his organs were dislocated from the shock.

If this was before Su Zimo cultivated the Organs Refinement section, he would have burst into a mist of blood without a corpse instantly against that roar!

However, when Su Zimo’s body was seriously injured, the essence energy that was running rampant in his body gushed into his flesh, tendons, bones and organs.

Initially, Su Zimo’s body could not accommodate that much life essence.

However, the injury indirectly sealed all the excess essence energies within Su Zimo’s flesh and blood.

In the future, he would be able to absorb that energy slowly.

Night Spirit’s situation was not much better.

Its body was stained with blood from the roar and it was barely breathing.

Despite that, Night Spirit did not show any signs of fear.

If Su Zimo were to pay attention at this moment, he would discover that Night Spirit’s gaze was extremely terrifying right now – pitch black and deep, it was emanating a cold, killing intent!

At the same time, a hazy mist appeared around the surroundings of the gray robed cultivator.

There was an ancient aura to the mist, as if they had returned to the beginning of the universe where chaos had yet to develop. Enveloped by it, the gray robed cultivator was the only god within!

“Golden Core phenomenon!”

While Su Zimo was not a Golden Core, he could determine the origin of the haze right away by sensing its aura.

He had witnessed two Golden Core phenomenons before.

The first was Spirit Peak’s master, Wen Xuan’s Ethereal Sword Rain. The second was the Bone Corroding Black Wind from a Golden Core of the mysterious faction.

This haze phenomenon was the third that Su Zimo had seen.

Sensing the energy feedback coming from the gray robed cultivator’s Golden Core phenomenon, Su Zimo could tell that it was much stronger than the two he had seen before!

In fact, he had a feeling that even the first two Golden Core phenomenons combined might not be a match for the gray robed cultivator’s Golden Core phenomenon.

The gap between them was obvious.

“So, this person is a Golden Core.”

A thought crossed Su Zimo’s mind.

The early-stage Foundation Establishment that was displayed when making use of the Spirit Peering Art to check out the gray robed cultivator’s realm was not accurate at all.

Under the roar of that powerful life form, the gray robed cultivator frowned and was forced to release his Golden Core phenomenon as a defensive measure.

Chapter 241: Taking the Blame

The roar did not last long before it disappeared.

However, an even more terrifying pressure enveloped the surroundings of the godly mountain!

“Boom!”

There was a deafening sound.

It was as though a huge life form had descended at the top of the mountain, causing it to tremble with the risk of collapsing at any moment!

Any thoughts of escaping by now would simply be a fool’s dream.

Su Zimo looked at the gray robed cultivator. He believed that even if the latter was a Golden Core, he would not be able to escape!

Unhurriedly, the gray robed cultivator pulled out a dark rag from his storage bag.

His entire figure flickered as he walked to a corner and covered himself with the rag.

Right in front of Su Zimo’s eyes, the gray robed cultivator’s figure disappeared entirely along with his aura, as though he was one with the wall – there was no trace left at all!

If he had not seen it personally, Su Zimo would not have believed it.

It was as if the gray robed cultivator had disappeared into thin air!

However, Su Zimo knew that the gray robed cultivator was still there hiding in the corner.

While the rag may have looked inconspicuous, it could hide its tracks and even conceal its aura such that one couldn’t be discovered!

That was what the gray robed cultivator relied on.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was the only one left in the cave. He was all alone with eggshells that were licked cleanly scattered all over the floor.

Anyone who saw this would instantly guess the truth.

Su Zimo did not have much time to think – the powerful life form on top of the godly mountain could descend at any moment!

With a swift motion, Su Zimo headed to the corner where the gray robed cultivator was hiding and stood by the side expressionlessly.

The well hidden gray robed cultivator was initially waiting to see Su Zimo make a fool out of himself but when he saw this, he was shocked.

Even though the treasure he had could hide his body and conceal his aura, it was unable to withstand the impact of any attacks.

If the life form outside were to see everything within the cave, it would definitely lose its mind and be enraged.

By then, if the life form were to launch an apocalyptic attack in Su Zimo’s direction, he would definitely be implicated as well!

Instantly, the gray robed cultivator understood Su Zimo’s intentions.

“Fuc... what a schemer!”

The gray robed cultivator cursed internally.

Even if he attacked Su Zimo, it was already too late and he would expose himself.

The gray robed cultivator wanted nothing more than to send Su Zimo flying with a kick. However, he had no choice but to spread the rag and pull Su Zimo under it as well.

Instantly, the figures and aura of both men disappeared.

Right after he did that, the godly mountain was met with a tremendous force that sent the peak of the mountain flying, exposing the cave entirely.

...

When the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord sensed the arrival of the terrifying aura, he realized that it was already too late to leave – doing so would only cause misunderstandings.

Fortunately, he had not entered the cave and would not have offended the life forms here.

Furthermore, according to the blood curse’s guidance, Su Zimo was hidden in this cave.

Once the life form of this primordial ruin arrived, that lad would have nowhere to run from the cave and would die for sure!

If everything went well, he would reveal his identity and the other party shouldn’t make things difficult for him.

He could then leave this place safely despite the dangerous journey it was.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As the Palace Lord expected, a series of powerful roars could be heard right after the arrival of the terrifying aura. The deafening howls shot into the clouds and cracked all the rocks around.

A few seconds after, the primordial life form descended on the godly mountain!

Although he was mentally prepared, the pupils of the Palace Lord could not help but constrict while his heart palpitated upon seeing the primordial life form with his very eyes.

The primordial life form had yet to reveal its full appearance.

However, merely half of its body that circled the godly mountain was more than enough to envelop it almost completely!

The massive body circled around the godly mountain, hundreds of meters long and covered with green scales that shone with a cold gleam.

Clang! Clang!

Beneath that body, a pair of gigantic claws popped out. Their joints protruded and they were extremely sharp, almost piercing through the entire godly mountain when they dug into it!

The primordial life form’s horns were towering as he looked down with eyes that emitted a cold light filled with killing intent.

There was a beard on the chin of the primordial life form. When it opened its huge mouth, terrifyingly sharp teeth were revealed as thick saliva drooled from the side of the mouth of that ferocious face.

Dragon!

This was a true dragon!

The Palace Lord had read about the form of a dragon in the ancient records of the clan. But now that he was seeing it in real life, he was still extremely shocked.

The descriptions in the ancient records were less than one percent of what it actually was!

At best, the ancient records could only describe the appearance. However, the unique aura and dominance of a dragon was something that could not be penned down.

If Su Zimo could see this divine dragon right now, he would definitely recall something.

Before entering the primordial ruin, the gray robed cultivator had once said, “I’ve seen a True Dragon before. Even though it was just a scale and half a claw, it was shocking enough! That single scale was bigger than our entire bodies and that claw was longer and sharper than our flying swords!”

No one took those words for real.

However, looking at it now, the divine dragon’s appearance was even superior to what the gray robed cultivator had described!

Without using much strength, the divine dragon sent half of the godly mountain flying, exposing everything within the cave instantly.

The Palace Lord took a single look and blood drained from his face immediately.

Nobody!

The depths of the cave was in a huge mess with a gigantic dragon egg that was smashed into pieces. The liquid within disappeared and even the eggshells were licked cleanly.

But, there was nobody at all!

To be precise, there was only a single person – him.

A dragon egg was eaten by someone.

Other than the divine dragon who had just arrived, the only person left in the scene was him.

There was no way of explaining himself!

The Palace Lord was a little stunned – this was completely different from what he had imagined.

When the divine dragon caught sight of the eggshells on the floor, an endless fury and wrath surged in its eyes, almost spewing out with fire.

Instantly, the Palace Lord felt a chilling killing intent gushing towards him!

“N-no, it’s not me!”

The Palace Lord was completely flustered.

As someone at Void Reversion realm with the title of Dao Being, there was almost no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty who could be a match for him. Even so, against an adult dragon, the odds were completely stacked against him!

The gray robed cultivator hidden in a corner was a little stunned as well.

How was there someone else as well?

“That person is quite skillful. He must be a professional at taking the blame. To think that he would rush over at a time like this with such an accurate timing...” The gray robed cultivator lamented internally.

The two of them hid in the corner motionlessly, not even daring to lift the rag to check out the situation outside.

However, when he heard the commotion outside, Su Zimo could roughly guess what was going on.

The person who spoke earlier was probably the pursuer hunting him down!

Su Zimo truly wanted to lift the rag up and check out that person’s appearance; he was also curious about what the primordial life form that had appeared was.

But, he remained rational and endured it.

At a time as such, any slight movement could expose the both of them!

Chapter 242: Dragon Race

“Swoosh!”

The divine dragon let out a breath in the direction of the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord and a faint green mist spewed out from its mouth.

The surrounding air instantly burned!

As the green mist streaked through the void, the surrounding space went into a state of chaos while light distorted!

“Dragon Flame!”

The Palace Lord’s expression changed starkly as he exclaimed.

Dragon Flame was an innate ability unique to the dragon race. After every dragon was born, they would naturally be able to master this ability after growing to a certain state.

Furthermore, the older they grew, the deeper their cultivations would become. In turn, the might of Dragon Flame would grow as well, even till the point of being able to incinerate the heavens and seas!

That was the divine power of the legends.

While the Dragon Flame in front of him was far from the level of being a divine power, it was far beyond what the Palace Lord could withstand as well.

Slapping on his storage bag, the Palace Lord took out a talisman and crushed it on the spot.

Right after, he whipped out a blood-colored bone staff. At the very top, there was a skull that emitted an eerie aura embedded on it.

“Blood Pattern Curse!”

The Palace Lord waved his bone staff and two beams of bloody light shot out from the sockets of the skull!

As if alive, the skull suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a green beam of light.

The blood and green lights fused together to form a drop of blood.

Instantly, the blood exploded and formed a series of ripples in the air that flew towards the Dragon Flame.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The two completely different forces clashed, collided, corroded and fought in midair, letting out a series of sounds as three different colored lights spewed in all directions in an extremely dazzling manner!

While Su Zimo and the gray robed cultivator who were hidden in a corner could not see what was going on, they could sense the terrifying fluctuations of that energy!

Not to mention Su Zimo, even the Golden Core gray robed cultivator would lose his life on the spot if he was struck by the feedback of the fight between those two powerful beings.

Both Su Zimo and the gray robed cultivator looked terrible as their held their breaths, not daring to make a single sound.

The power of the Dragon Flame was clearly superior to the Blood Pattern Curse.

The two energies were locked in a stalemate for a moment before the Dragon Flame burned the series of blood patterns into a crisp and descended before the Palace Lord.

Having crushed the protection talisman earlier on, the Palace Lord was surrounded by a defensive barrier.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

This was the most advanced protection talisman amongst Grade 5 Talismans!

However, it was still incapable of withstanding the corrosion of the Dragon Flame as cracks appeared before long – it was about to disperse at any moment.

Naturally, the Dragon Flame’s might was also reduced after being mowed down by the defense of the Blood Pattern Curse and the Grade 5 Talisman.

“Dissipate!”

The Palace Lord waved his blood-colored bone staff once more, his eyes flashing a faint green as he hollered.

Bang!

Finally, the Dragon Flame dissipated into the air after three consecutive strikes from the Palace Lord.

At this moment, the divine dragon swayed in the air with its massive body completely expanded and exposed in front of the Palace Lord, radiating with an aura that could make one tremble!

The appearance of a divine dragon caused the weather to change!

By resisting, the Palace Lord made the divine dragon even more furious.

“Fellow Daoist of the dragon race, we’re both from the nine races. I barged into this treasure ground by accident, please show mercy,” The Palace Lord yelled immediately with a pale face.

In the corner, Su Zimo was shocked when he heard that.

Dragon race!

Could the primordial life form outside actually be from the dragon race?

Did dragons really exist in this world?

At that moment, an impulse surged in Su Zimo’s heart – he wanted to tear off the rag to see the appearance of one from the dragon race.

However, Su Zimo endured it still.

Back when he was studying in Ping Yang Town, he had already heard many legends about dragons.

Vague and without basis, those legends were merely folk tales that spread among the mortal realm.

Su Zimo had never taken them seriously before.

In fact, before he encountered Perfected Being Cang Lang, he did not believe that immortals existed as well.

Later on, Su Zimo stepped on the path of cultivation and joined Ethereal Peak.

In Ethereal Peak, Su Zimo read through some ancient books.

None of them had any records about dragons.

Even if there were, they were extremely short and vague.

By reading many ancient books, one could piece together some limited information.

Dragons were terrifying existences of the primordial era. They were not part of the demon race and were a unique race of their own, known as the dragon race.

Legend has it that the dragon race was extremely strong and they were incomparably glorious in the primordial era, reigning through the ancient times!

However, for some unknown reason, the dragon race disappeared from the sands of time and became extinct, turning into mere legends.

Su Zimo bore a sense of doubt towards those records.

From his point of view, since the dragon race possessed such a majestic history, there would definitely be some traces of them left in Tianhuang Mainland.

Before this, Su Zimo had never seen anything about it before.

Instantly, an image of the massive skeleton that nearly penetrated the entire sea of bones appeared in Su Zimo’s mind.

Could that have been... a dragon’s corpse?!

The thought of that possibility gave Su Zimo a shock.

Frowning, he recalled what was said earlier on and a thought flashed through his mind, “Nine races? What is that?”

On the other end, a glint flickered through the gray robed cultivator’s eyes momentarily upon hearing that.

“He’s someone of the nine races?”

“Blood Pattern Curse. Could it be...”

The gray robed cultivator’s eyes flashed as he guessed the identity of the Palace Lord.

“So what if you’re someone of the nine races? Notwithstanding the fact that your bloodline is impure making you a bastard child, even if you were pure-blooded, coming here to eat a descendant of the dragon race is just asking to die!”

Within the void, a deep and powerful voice boomed out. Every single word that came out was like a clap of thunder that shook one’s mind.

Swoosh!

The divine dragon swayed its tail.

Filled with green scales, the dragon’s tail that was thick like a divine whip slammed down at the Palace Lord with a destructive force!

“Ah!”

The Palace Lord’s expression changed starkly as he exclaimed.

Before the dragon’s tail even arrived, a suffocating aura of death had already approached.

The Palace Lord bit his tongue gently and spat out a drop of blood essence.

After spitting out the blood essence, the Palace Lord seemed to have weakened massively as his eyes dimmed in a dispirited manner.

By sacrificing that essence blood, he would have to take more than ten years of recuperation to recover even if he could survive that dragon’s tail.

“Go!”

The Palace Lord chanted a chain of obscure incantations and waved his blood-colored bone staff, pointing it forward.

The blood light transformed into a gigantic skeleton which gnawed towards the dragon’s tail!

At the same time, the Palace Lord took out a handful of talismans from his storage bag and crushed them all!

His eyes revealed a pained expression.

He had gathered those talismans through the course of many years, but he did not expect that they would all be used up in this one round.

He was painfully aggrieved for this battle!

He was originally chasing a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator that was bound to be killed.

But for some reason, he was the one being put in a passive position for the entire situation, as if someone was leading him by the nose.

After a round of torture, he arrived at this place by some freak accident and took on the blame of being targeted by a divine dragon without even seeing anyone at all...!

Chapter 243: Minor Transference Talisman

“Bang!”

The dragon’s tail collided heavily with the head of the skeleton and let out a earth-shattering sound in the air.

Almost instantly, the skull was crushed into power and dispersed in the surroundings.

Swoosh!

The dragon tail’s momentum did not stop and whipped the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord’s body viciously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Even the stacked talismans were unable to withstand the ferocity of the divine dragon’s tail!

The Palace Lord’s glabella lit up as a tyrannical spirit consciousness surged forth, resisting it with all its might.

Bang!

Like a kite that was snapped, the Palace Lord was sent flying from half of the mountain and landed heavily on the ground, creating a massive dust cloud.

“Pfft!”

He coughed out a mouthful of blood as color drained from his face. His eyes dimmed as his bones were all broken; even his organs were shattered!

If not for his final attempt to fight back, that tail would have whipped him into a mist of blood!

The difference was too great.

They were on completely different levels.

“It’s really... not me! I’ve only just arrived and didn’t even enter.”

Enduring the massive pain, the Palace Lord gasped with a trembling voice.

“Who else could it be if it wasn’t you!”

The divine dragon hovered in midair and looked down at the Palace Lord as it questioned him loudly. Its eyes were filled with a frosty killing intent.

The Palace Lord took a deep breath and said, “Fellow Daoist of the dragon race, please listen to me. The reason why I came here was because I was trying to kill someone. Your descendant must have been eaten by that person. He’s the true murderer!”

“I believe that he is still around here! He must have used some kind of trick to conceal himself and must not have gone far!”

Upon hearing that, Su Zimo and the gray robed cultivator who were hiding in the corner felt their hearts clench – they were so scared that they did not even dare to take deep breaths.

The gray robed cultivator lamented internally.

While it was true that his rag had the ability to deceive one’s vision, it was also based on the circumstances.

Be it whether the dragon’s egg was stolen or eaten, the divine dragon would definitely be heavily affected by that blow. In that troubled state, it would go crazy and lose its mind, rushing out to hunt for the murderer immediately.

With the rag to conceal their bodies and hide their auras, it would be easy to escape at that moment.

Furthermore, the divine dragon would not have expected that instead of leaving right away, they would be hiding within the cave.

That was the psychological blind spot.

However, the gray robed cultivator did not expect that this Palace Lord would appear out of nowhere in the chaos.

Hunting Su Zimo to this place, he deduced that Su Zimo was in the cave with the guidance of the blood curse’s power!

That was the reason why the Palace Lord said what he said.

If the dragon turned around and searched the cave, the gray robed cultivator’s rag turn into a complete ornament!

The rag could hide them from the detection of Golden Cores or even Nascent Souls with extreme ease.

However, it was a fool’s dream to think that it could hide them from the detection of an adult dragon.

Right after the Palace Lord said that, silence descended outside.

The atmosphere turned extremely strange.

The world seemed to have stopped!

A look of determination flashed through the gray robed cultivator’s eyes as he reached for his storage bag while putting away the rag at the same time.

At this moment, if they continued hiding, it would just be deceiving themselves.

A talisman appeared in the palms of the gray robed cultivator.

Minor Transference Talisman!

This was a type of talisman in the ancient era which had been lost through the times.

Even in the ancient era, the Minor Transference Talisman was famous and was extremely rare.

Crushing a Minor Transference Talisman could bring someone away from their current location instantly, teleporting them thousands of kilometers away!

While the end point was uncertain, an ability like that was enough to move every cultivator.

After all, it meant that any cultivators in possession of the Minor Transference Talisman could instantly escape from danger and ensure that they would not die!

The value of a Minor Transference Talisman was self-evident.

Using one meant that there was one less available.

In the current cultivation world, the Minor Transference Talisman was something considered to be priceless. No amount of spirit stones could buy one.

To be fair, the gray robed cultivator had not expected to make use of the Minor Transference Talisman in his original plans.

However, given the pressing circumstances, he was going to die if he did not use it!

The moment the gray robed cultivator pulled away the rag, two men appeared, standing in the deepest corner of the cave.

The Palace Lord blinked his green eyes – this was the first time he caught sight of Su Zimo.

As for Su Zimo, this was also the first time he saw his pursuer.

Even though it was a short moment, the two of them memorized each other immediately.

The next moment, Su Zimo caught sight of the primordial life form spiraled in the skies.

Psst!

His heart skipped a beat as his pupils constricted right away, gasping for a breath of cold air.

It was too shocking!

If he had not seen it himself, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine that a life form could grow to such an extent while radiating such a terrifying and intimidating presence!

In front of this primordial life form, Su Zimo actually felt a sense of insignificance and an urge to prostrate himself in worship.

It was as if the other party was incomparably noble and supreme!

The thought gushed into his mind, as though it was deeply embedded in the foundation of his bloodline.

Su Zimo frowned.

This feeling made him feel extremely disgusted.

Unless he was willing, Su Zimo would not bow down or kneel to anyone!

He narrowed his eyes with a burning gaze. Against the might of the divine dragon, he puffed up his chest instead while a trace of sharp killing intent was revealed in his eyes!

The moment that humble feeling emerged, Su Zimo crushed it into nothingness!

While the change that happened in Su Zimo was extremely short, almost instantaneous, the gray robed cultivator sensed it.

He looked at Su Zimo deeply.

This was the first time he felt that this green-robed cultivator was not simple.

He was the only one who knew clearly how difficult it would be to break free from the authoritative might and aura of someone from the dragon race.

Not only did it require an indestructible willpower, it also required a confidence that bordered towards arrogance and a type of dominance that would have one look down upon the entire world and fear nothing!

There might be cultivators out there who could fulfill some of those requirements.

However, there were only a few who could meet all three.

Su Zimo in front of him was one of them.

If Su Zimo had already given the gray robed cultivator a newfound respect, the black and unassuming little dog in Su Zimo’s robes was even more incredible!

“How is that possible?”

The gray robed cultivator’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Against the divine dragon that was spiraling in the skies with a holy light shimmering around it and menacing horns on its head, there was no trace of fear to be found in Night Spirit’s eyes!

Most of its body was hidden in Su Zimo’s embrace, revealing only a pair of pitch black eyes. With a calm expression, it glared at the divine dragon in the skies coldly.

Night Spirit’s gaze was a little strange such that the gray robed cultivator could not put it to words.

However, he would always remember that gaze.

Many years later, when the gray robed cultivator finally found out about Night Spirit’s origin, he would be enlightened upon recalling this gaze...
