Chapter 2091: The Creepy Children

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Blackie kill a reverend once again, the remaining five reverends of the Bone Clan were as terrified as they were enraged. They had never been bullied so miserably since they came into being.
They did not believe that Blackie was only a Saint King but a Supreme Saint cultivator—an extremely powerful one, too, whom no Saint King cultivators could match. Even a being like Yan Wushen would have to back off.
It was just that they did not understand how such a powerful Supreme Saint cultivator could sneak into the Kunlun Realm, especially with the divine spirit of the Infernal Court covering the entire Ying Yang Sea.
It was impossible for the Supreme Saint cultivators from the Kunlun Realm to sneak into True Dragon Island.
However, now was not the time to harp on it because time was running out. Blackie had not given up pursuing them. It was better for them to make a run for it; the farther, the better.
“Eat this, owl!”
A chilling light flashed in the Eight-armed Reverend’s eyes. His bones unleashed a massive amount of Power of Darkness into the iron stick, which then rapidly extended. Like a heavenly pillar, it struck Blackie with tens of thousands of striking force.
He wanted to contain Blackie, buying time for the other four reverends to escape.
“Watch how I break your skeleton.”
Blackie’s eyes looked razor-sharp. It parried the strike of the iron stick with
The Supreme Power unleashed by the iron stick was powerful, but it could not hurt Blackie at all. Instead, a terrifying power traveled up the iron stick and hit the Eight-armed Reverend.
Craaack!
The Eight-armed Reverend’s hands grasping the iron stick shattered like ceramic in an instant.
He was sent flying back as if a meteorite had hit him.
Putting the iron stick away, the Eight-armed Reverend leveraged the impact force and slipped into a nearby rift.
While the Eight-Armed Reverend had been holding Blackie back earlier, the other four reverends of the Bone Clan had fled from the scene. They were nowhere to be seen now.
Blackie did not give chase, as the Bone Clan’s five reverends were fleeing in different directions. Even if Blackie gave chase, it could only catch up with one if he was lucky. After the dimension collapsed and they lunged out of the rifts, no one knew where they would end up.
Waving his wings to put away the damaged bones of the two reverends of the Bone Clan, Blackie spun around and lunged at the Jinyang Twin Kings.
A bloody battle was ongoing between the Jinyang Twin Kings and Zhang Ruochen, with Zang Ruochen bogging down the Jinyang Twin Kings.
Seeing Blackie coming for them, the Jinyang Twin Kings wasted no time shaking off Zhang Ruochen, even if that meant they were getting a few strikes of Sword of Time and losing decades of their life.
They fled with no hesitation because following in the footsteps of the two dead reverends of the Bone Clan was the last thing on their minds.
“Stop running! You all have to die here!”
Blackie came after them in violent wind and flames, soaring into the air and caught up with them almost in an instant, as if it had defied the limits of nature.
the Jinyang Twin Kings’ blood ran cold at sensing the looming deadly threat.
The two spontaneously mobilized their Saint Qi to perform a Broken-Star Palm.
The giant golden hand took form in an instant and shattered the void. It was unstoppable like the hand of a god.
Disdain filled Blackie’s eyes as it flapped its wings casually and slashed the giant golden hand.
Just then, the Jinyang Twin Kings had cast out the ancient golden cauldron and powered this Supreme Artifact with all their strength.
The extremely bright golden light burst out from the ancient cauldron. The light formed into a humongous, lifelike, three-legged Golden Crow that overlooked the world with its indifferent eyes.
The three-legged Golden Crow opened its mouth and spat a terrifying golden flame of the sun. Wherever the flame went, the void shook and melted.
“Don’t play with fire in front of me. You two still have a long way to go.” Blackie sneered.
As Blackie flapped its wings, a monstrous Eternal Fire emerged and clashed with the golden flames of the sun.
An incredible thing happened. In the blazing flame of Eternal Fire, the golden flame of the sun rapidly died out.
Even the three-legged Golden Crow was consumed by Eternal Fire.
A burst of powerful Eternal blew the ancient golden cauldron away.
Blackie did that intentionally. The ancient golden cauldron was crashing toward Sunshine Tianzi’s guards who were fleeing.
The ancient golden cauldron slammed into those guards with a loud crash, and a burst of power consumed dozens of guards.
Cries and screams rose as the body of the guards exploded. A terrifying power annihilated their bodies to ashes and their souls into nothingness.
Over two-thirds of the guards were ruthlessly killed in the blink of an eye. The rest of them suffered severe injuries.
The Jinyang Twin King’s blood boiled upon seeing that. But they could do nothing to stop it.
They could not even protect themselves, let alone others.
“D*mn it, how could this owl sacred beast possibly be a Supreme Saint cultivator? It had never shown that it had such a level of strength until now.”
The Jinyang Twin Kings were as confused as they were enraged.
There was no secret that Zhang Ruochen had an owl by his side, and many people knew that.
However, this owl had been low-profile all this while, so much so that people tended to overlook it. It just shocked them when it suddenly turned out to be such a powerful being.
The Jinyang Twin Kings beckoned the ancient golden cauldron back and picked up their pace to flee. They were in desperation. As soon as they got out of the hidden dimension, they thought that they would shake Blackie off.
“Stay!”
Blackie roared and faded into a beam of red light as it gave chase from behind.
The Jinyang Twin Kings took out an ancient talisman and struck it at Blackie.
Once activated, thousands of mysterious runes emerged from the ancient talisman. They were intertwined in the void and formed an energy barrier.
Blackie struck with its claws and damaged the energy barrier, but not enough to destroy it at once.
Seizing this moment of opportunity, the Jinyang Twin Kings jumped into the dimensional rift and fled without looking back.
The dozen guards who survived wanted to flee too, but they were intercepted by Zhang Ruochen.
These guards had been injured by the ancient golden cauldron before this, so they could no longer withstand Zhang Ruochen’s attack now. Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Sword of Time and cut off their heads before they could do anything.
“They are quick when it comes to fleeing. It is a shame that I have only managed to take down two of their top cultivators.” Blackie did not look too happy.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Blackie with a weird expression. Just as he was about to say something, the hidden dimension shook violently and the dimensional collapse was getting more severe.
He moved in a flash and came on Blackie’s back. “Let’s get out of here now. Otherwise, we will be in trouble.”
As small as this dimension was, its collapse could produce a powerful force of destruction, which is enough to kill any Supreme Saint cultivators.
With no hesitation, Blackie moved in a flash and tore an opening in the dimension with great force.
The wall of this hidden dimension had become so fragile that any ordinary Saint King cultivator could easily break it. But this also meant that the situation was extremely dangerous.
Blackie was quick. It lunged out of the hidden dimension, using its pair of bird claws to run deeper into the Dragon Temple ruins.
Apparently, the place where they emerged was not the place where they entered. The Bone Clan’s five reverends and the Jinyang Twin Kings were long gone. Not a wisp of their aura was detected.
Bwoom!
The hidden dimension completely collapsed, with a pitch-black void exposed. A dimensional storm rapidly formed and devoured everything around it.
Zhang Ruochen could also perform a similar Dimensional Storm. Just that its strength was a tad weaker than the current one.
It did not take too long before the dimensional storm subsided, and the broken dimension restored itself.
This had also shown some of the uniqueness of the Dragon Temple ruins.
Blackie stopped after running for hundreds of miles. Its body rapidly shrank and its aura declined along with the ferocious energy.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground and carefully studied Blackie with a strange look in his eyes. “What the hell was going on with you just now?”
Honestly, Blackie’s violent behavior earlier had come as a shock to Zhang Ruochen. He was accustomed to seeing Blackie’s flakiness and never thought that Blackie had such an impressive combat strength.
One thing was certain, though, was that Blackie had performed at the Supreme Saint-level of strength just now. It made him wonder if Blackie had recovered to the Supreme Saint realm.
Yet, by the looks of Blackie’s current condition, it did not seem like that was the case.
“I have been gradually cultivating the divine power of the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon. My strength is steadily improving, and I have recovered to the top of the Saint King realm. At some point, my strength will go as high as that of a Supreme Saint cultivator. But it is just for a short duration. Otherwise, I would have given chase to the Jinyang Twin Kings.” Blackie let out a sigh.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed slightly upon hearing that. “Can you do that at will?”
The burst of strength might be short, but it was extremely useful if Blackie could master it properly.
Such a sudden burst of power could subdue top cultivators, such as the Son of Darkness and the Bone Clan’s three emperors.
“As much as I want it, I can’t do that at will. It all depends on luck,” said Blackie in embarrassment.
Zhang Ruochen did not know what to say. It seemed that he had really overestimated Blackie. Apparently, Blackie was still as flaky as before.
Anyway, Blackie’s sudden burst of strength had been timely. It beat the Bone Clan and the Sunshine Civilization, which ran away with their tails between their legs. If not, Zhang Ruochen would have been in trouble.
It had been fruitful so far. Not only did he get the Demonstone Engraving and the Celestial Demon Mountain but also a Supreme Artifact.
The only thing was, the killing of Sunshine Tianzi would make him the enemy of the Sunshine Civilization.
Not that he cared. He had lost count of how many cultivators with nasty backgrounds he had killed. There was already a long list of immortals waiting to kill him.
But he was still alive.
“After some delay in the hidden dimension, I am afraid that we are already far behind now. We have to make up for lost time,” whispered Zhang Ruochen.
“Hey, we have found so many treasures the moment we entered Dragon Temple ruins. There must be more treasures like the Demonstone Engraving lying ahead.” Blackie’s eyes gleamed.
“If we can find the treasure that suppresses the divine power of the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon, I might stabilize into the Supreme Saint level and become the actual master of True Dragon Island.”
Entering the hidden dimension gave Blackie a taste of what was to come. Blackie was now looking forward to finding more treasures hidden deep inside the Dragon Temple ruins.
Just when Zhang Ruochen and Blackie were about to leave, their hearts skipped a beat. They spontaneously had a wary expression on their faces.
“Did you feel that, Zhang Ruochen? There was a solemn look in Blackie’s eyes. Blackie immediately drew an array pattern to protect itself.
Zhang Ruochen nodded. “It was a very weird feeling, like something peeping in the dark. But it was a fleeting moment, very similar to the feeling when we entered the hidden dimension earlier. At first, I thought it was the Eight-armed Reverend of the Bone Clan. But it seems that this is not the case.”
“I am sure that there is not a living person within a hundred miles of us.” Blackie became more worried, its mind tense.
Both Zhang Ruochen and Blackie had strong spiritual power, and they both were good at scouting. But no matter how hard they tried, they could find nothing, if it was just a false sense.
“We have got to be more careful next,” said Zhang Ruochen after thinking for a while.
Blackie could not help but nod in all seriousness.
Even Blackie did not know what to expect this time.
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie did not stay here for long. They moved deep into the Dragon Temple ruins at once.
The cry of a child was heard coming from the earth. It sounded so creepy that even Saint King cultivators would find themselves whistling in the dark.
A child’s phantom appeared in the spot where Zhang Ruochen and Blackie had just stood earlier. The child was about one meter tall, its body gradually materializing. It had blood-red eyes, with no feet but dozens of tentacles supporting its body.
The cry it made could form a spiritual attack.
Along with the spiritual attack, dozens of tentacles flew out and grabbed at Zhang Ruochen and Blackie. The tentacles moved like lightning and became dozens of miles long, with blood vein-like patterns on the surface.
“Where did this kid come from?”
“What the hell is it?”
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie were flying in the air. As powerful as their spiritual powers were, they felt a sharp pain in their heads and started to see bloody and creepy images in their minds when assaulted by this spiritual attack.
That child, as if it had crawled into their heads, appeared in a ghostly face as it wept.
“Go to hell!”
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie mobilized their spiritual powers at once, tearing the ghostly face in their minds to pieces.
Just then, those tentacles came in front of them.
Swish!
The Ancient Abyssal Blade was drawn. Zhang Ruochen spun around and struck with the sword, drawing a sword light several hundred meters long.
A powerful Eternal Fire rose from Blackie’s body and formed a fire wall that blocked the front. At the same time, it powered up the array patterns.
Swoosh!
The razor-sharp Ancient Abyssal Blade cut off several tentacles at once.
Hiss!
As more tentacles lashed at the fire wall and array pattern, they hissed with black smoke. They appeared to suffer some great injury, so they quickly retracted.
Zhang Ruochen spontaneously mobilized the Canon of Truth and activated the Armor of the Fire God. A powerful flame rose and engulfed them.
As if sensing the threat, the child quickly retracted the tentacles.
“You two… you two have come to Mojo’s territory… and if you two go further, you two will become like me… become Mojo’s children…”
Zhang Ruochen and Blackie gave chase, but only to see the tentacles disappearing into the ground without a trace. They released their spiritual powers, trying to figure out where those tentacles had gone, but to no avail.
Zhang Ruochen turned to look at the severed tentacles, only to find that those tentacles had also disappeared, leaving only a few faint black marks on the ground.
“Did you see what the hell that thing is?” asked Blackie.
“A child, and it said something like Mojo, and that we will end up like it. What is it?” Zhang Ruochen shook his head.
“Well, True Dragon Island has been closed for so many years, and it has been flooded with all kinds of divine and dark powers. Who knows there might be some terrible evil creatures?” Blackie looked nervous.
“It seems that the Dragon Temple ruins not only contain treasures but also terrifying monsters. We had better leave this place quickly,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Just after they left, those tentacles stretched out from the ground and turned the land within a hundred miles in radius into a lake of black ink. There were hundreds of children who opened their blood-red eyes with exposed sharp fangs standing on their tentacles and wept.
The cry spread far and wide. Many cultivators who entered the Dragon Temple ruins had heard it and saw creepy images in their minds.
Some cultivators with weaker spiritual power went insane, their pupils turning red, and their bodies gradually shrank, as if they were about to become children. It was an unspeakable, horrific sight.
