Chapter 1500: Save Me…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There are many types of laughter, such as gentle laughter and cold laughter. There’s also a type of laughter, which, even without expression, makes one feel cold all over as if death is closing in.
At that moment, the mid-grade G.o.d King of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty was facing this feeling. It was as though he would die in the next moment. Such a feeling was extremely terrifying.
Rumble!
The figure moved, leaping forward with an explosive force and releasing all its acc.u.mulated power in an instant like a nuclear warhead…
With a loud bang, the mid-grade G.o.d King flew backward immediately, streaked across the air like a cannonball, and smashed hard into the void, causing it to collapse.
“What happened?!”
The emissary group of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty broke out in an uproar. They never imagined that such a thing could happen. They were… attacked! Since this relic belonged to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, could the attacker be a Xiayi expert?
But… that didn’t seem right. They had just stepped into this relic, and they had not acquired any treasure related to the HeavenG.o.d. Why would they become the target, and why would a Xiayi expert want to attack them? That was what puzzled them.
The remaining few G.o.d Kings all narrowed their eyes, unleashed their formidable auras, and charged toward where the battle broke out like bolts of lightning.
“Everyone move back!”
A low-grade G.o.d King stayed back with the group. All tensed up, he ordered the geniuses behind him to retreat.
Those geniuses seemed to sense the danger as well, so they followed after the low-grade G.o.d King and quickly retreated into the distance.
Tai Fei narrowed his eyes. ‘We were attacked as soon as we entered the relic… Do the experts of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty want to kill us because Heaven King Tai Hang had wantonly attacked their Divine Emperor? That’s very likely!
‘But… When did the Xiayi Divine Dynasty become so crazy? If this news were exposed, it would definitely start a war between the two divine dynasties. It will be a war between great worlds, and the whole Chaotic Universe will bleed!’
Boom!
An explosion broke out in an instant, and the ground shattered. A mid-grade G.o.d King, with the barbaric glyphs on his body glowing dazzlingly, was knocked flying backward.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Several G.o.d Kings jumped up into the air and then landed forcefully. They all looked up in horror, staring at the figure in the distance.
That was a figure without eyes, and there was only a slit on its face, which split open and was dripping with slime, making it look particularly disgusting. This thing… was not a human being, but it pretended to be one! Even so, the mid-grade G.o.d King actually didn’t discover that!
With a crack and a pop, the leading mid-grade G.o.d King’s head was crushed. His blood spilled and puddled on the ground, boiling and steaming. His soul crazily bolted out of the body to flee. As long as his soul was intact, he could always make a comeback. However, he soon despaired because the creature was even better at dealing with souls.
Even as the G.o.d King’s soul was about to flee, the figure dashed forward like a savage beast, raised a hand, and thrust it into his chest. Then, with a slash, it ripped the soul in half and shoved them into its splitting mouth…
Everyone watched in horror as the G.o.d King’s soul was ripped apart and devoured… And the thing that ate it looked as if it was eating a hot and delicious bun!
As if the taste of the soul had stimulated it, the creature roared and charged toward the other G.o.d Kings of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty.
“May we know which King of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty are you? We are the emissaries from the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty! Do you know the consequences of hurting us?!” a mid-grade G.o.d King growled.
Unfortunately, the figure simply ignored him. With a boom, it appeared in front of him like a storm and threw out a fist. The punch didn’t contain the Power of Law but spinning black energy…
The G.o.d King raised his palm and collided with the fist. However, in just a flash, his palm was smashed into a pulp! His pupils constricted, but then his head was crushed…
A G.o.d King was dead, and he didn’t even know how that happened!
After killing the G.o.d King and devouring his soul, the figure threw its head back and roared. The next moment, barbaric glyphs appeared and flickered all over its body. At the sight, the hair of the t.i.tan experts stood on end.
What monster did they run into? Why did it possess the t.i.tan’s barbaric glyphs?!
After being enhanced by the barbaric glyphs, the corners of the creature’s mouth curled upward, revealing a disdainful smile. Then, it charged again with an even more fearsome fighting prowess. A G.o.d King was instantly pushed to the ground and killed with his body torn into pieces…
The faces of the geniuses and experts of the emissary group all turned ghastly pale, bloodless. They never thought something like this would happen. All their mid-grade G.o.d Kings had fallen!
Without hesitation, the remaining low-grade G.o.d King turned his head and bellowed at the geniuses including Tai Fei, “Run! Don’t think about anything, just run! Run to the defensive city the Xiayi Divine Dynasty had built in the relic! Hurry up!”
The geniuses were still in a trance, as death had descended too quickly.
“Run! Run for your life!”
When they finally recovered their wits, they realized that if they didn’t run, they would all be dead!
Rumble!
Tai Fei did not hesitate. His strength was the strongest, so he was the first one to speed away like a cannonball into the distance. The other geniuses followed in panic.
The figure was still showing that blood-curdling smile. The low-grade G.o.d King tried to stop it, but he was killed instantly. His body blew apart with a boom, and then his soul was devoured…
Several G.o.d Kings were brutally killed here, and they died without knowing what kind of monster had shown up in the relic. Blood flowed in streams, and the ground was littered with broken bodies.
A small pit in the ground had turned into a pool of blood, and numerous glinting black b.a.l.l.s could be seen inside. The resentful souls of the G.o.d Kings wandered and howled, filling the air with an aura of death.
…
Tai Fei ran in panic. He was the top genius of the t.i.tan Divine Clan, but his heart beat so fast now that it almost jumped out of his throat. It was too horrible. Everyone was dead. His companions and the G.o.d Kings who brought them here… They were all dead!
With his own eyes, he saw that ferocious figure use a finger to rip apart the body of a top genius, who was a DemiG.o.d with a great hope to become a high-grade G.o.d King. t.i.tans prided themselves on their tough fleshly bodies, but that genius could not even resist the attack for a brief moment, because the stranger also possessed barbaric glyphs!
“No, it doesn’t possess but imitates! It had learned and imitated the barbaric glyphs of the G.o.d Kings it killed! That’s the most frightening thing! Just what monster is that?!”
Suddenly, Tai Fei’s pupils constricted as he recalled something. Didn’t they come to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty to find out the truth of the creature described by the Xiayi Divine Emperor? Could it be that he didn’t lie and that the creature actually existed?!
Tai Fei sucked in a cold breath. When the t.i.tan Divine Emperor learned about the news, he thought it was just a smokescreen released by the Xiayi Divine Emperor to deter the other two divine dynasties from doing anything, since his end was near. Now, by the looks of it, the Xiayi Divine Dynasty didn’t lie to them!
Tai Fei regretted it very much now. Had he known this, he would not have come to this relic! How was he going to escape, now that he was trapped here in this dangerous place? He might soon die here.
Perhaps, the only chance for him to survive was to run to the a.s.sembly point established in the relic by the Xiayi Divine Dynasty. An a.s.sembly point like that must be guarded by a high-grade G.o.d King. Although the creature did not fear mid-grade G.o.d Kings, it should be afraid of a high-grade G.o.d King. Otherwise, it would have killed all the living things in the a.s.sembly point.
“Run!”
Tai Fei fled at top speed.
Rumble!
A rumble suddenly rang out. Tai Fei paused. He felt as though his whole body was frozen, and the void around him was sealed off… He knew he could no longer escape.
In the distance, the figure slowly turned around and opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth. Then, it moved, speeding across the great distance in a flash and leaving countless afterimages behind. In just the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Tai Fei, breathing puffs of black air in his face.
Tai Fei felt as though he was plunged into an icy cellar. “You…” He took a deep breath. “I’m the Crown Prince of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty… If you kill me…”
However, before he could finish, some blood splashed onto his face. His pupils constricted. “I… I… I…” He tried to say something, but he could not get the words out. Then, he began to cough blood, again and again, until only black blood came out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, the figure in front of him began to shrink like a leaking balloon. Soon, it collapsed to the ground.
A long time later, Tai Fei’s eyes returned to normal. He curled the corners of his mouth upward, belched, and wiped the black blood away from his lips with the back of a hand.
“Well… I’ve finally found a decent body, and I’ve finally… evolved to this stage…”
Tai Fei, or whatever thing that had possessed him, smiled faintly. As he sensed the great power in him, he narrowed his eyes, and black energy flowed out of his body.
“This body could only be considered decent. After possessing it, I have only the original power of this body. However, with my realm, I can exert so much more power than this native…”
Tai Fei narrowed his eyes. Barbaric glyphs could be seen floating over his palms, then the Law of Destruction appeared, surrounded by many other Laws. A storm seemed to be forming!
…
“Zi zi zi?”
Foxy stopped suddenly, and her hair bristled as she looked into the distance, where blood flowed in streams and souls wandered in the air.
Bu Fang arrived in the next instant, and he furrowed his brows. “Why is this place so full of death aura? What happened here? This is… broken barbaric glyphs…”
With his keen eyes, Bu Fang saw a broken but glinting glyph drifting in the pool of blood. He was familiar with it. “Isn’t that the barbaric glyph drawn on the t.i.tan expert’s body? Did their G.o.d Kings die here? With so much blood and such a strong death aura… Could it be that the whole emissary group of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty died here?”
Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath.
“Is this place really so dangerous? I’d better go back and open my restaurant… No wonder the System gave me this temporary task. There’s indeed something strange in this relic.”
Suddenly, Bu Fang turned and looked into the distance, where a rustling sound rang out. He saw a figure crawling toward him, covered in blood and severely injured in the chest.
“It’s… me… Save me…”
Bu Fang frowned, while Foxy’s fur bristled.
It was only when the figure came close enough that Bu Fang saw who he was. “The genius of the t.i.tan Divine Dynasty… I think his name is Tai something Fei?”
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tai Fei. “It seems some of them had survived. That’s good. I can learn from him about what happened. This place is really dangerous. In the worst-case scenario, I’ll go back to the restaurant and sell oyster pancakes.”
Tai Fei was s.h.i.+vering all over. His body shook with every step, and even his shoulders were twitching. He looked as though he had just gone through something terrible. Step by step, he walked toward Bu Fang…
