Chapter 885: Innate Or Insane?
Chapter 885 : Innate Or Insane?
Yue Yang had never seen such a scene before.
When he saw Hui Tai Lang, his entire being was stunned.
What he saw was a large mountain of flesh that appeared to be higher than the Tie Ling Mountain in the outside world towering towards the sky. Bursts of volcanic magma and ash erupted from time to time. If Yue Yang didn’t have the Heaven Eyes Transverse, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that this product was also an actual beast. Everyone would feel like this was a volcano no matter who looked at it— however, there was no doubt that it was a beast.
Yue Yang finally saw the legendary Volcanic Whale, a kind of beast that no longer existed in Tong Tian Tower.
He had never thought that he would see it in this way… Under the mountain of flesh, he discovered that Hui Tai Lang had become a giant wolf of several hundred meters, opening his mouth like a fool and was biting onto the Volcanic Whale. With the beast in his lips, he held his head up to face the prehistoric beast towards the sky.
For goodness sake!
Yue Yang became nervous as he saw what happened.
Even if you want to bite something and swallow it whole, why couldn’t you find a smaller target? How can a prehistoric behemoth that is several kilometers long be swallowed? Besides, this Volcanic Whale has a strength of a 6th Heaven Rank. Even if it doesn’t struggle, with your strength, wouldn’t it be too much of a whimsical thought to digest it?
Worst of all, this place was still their home. Although the Sea of Flames weren’t able to burn Hui Tai Lang, the gain to him was very small, whereas the Volcanic Whale was born as a Battle Beast that thrives in the Sea of Flames. Yue Yang really didn’t know how Hui Tai Lang managed to bite and lift up the Volcanic Whale, but this method was definitely equivalent to drinking poison for the sake of quenching thirst.
“Rumble rumble rumble…”
A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the Sea of Flames under Yue Yang’s feet.
The burning magma revolved like water and the vortex that was several thousand meters in size appeared beneath his feet. The sight was rather spectacular.
There seemed to be a human face faintly flashing under the whirlpool.. Before Yue Yang could look at it intently, there was an unimaginable human face bursting out of the sea. It opened its mouth filled with magma and sharp teeth, wanting to swallow him up desperately.
Although this human face was rather incomparable with the Volcanic Whale, it was also a super giant monster.
After opening its mouth, the size was bigger than a football field.
Moreover, in that revolting and greedy mouth, there was a kind of force that held people back and prevented them from escaping. It was capable of absorbing flame, magma, thick smoke, lava and whatnot.
The speed of the sneak attack was extremely fast.
Yue Yang didn’t react. The big mouth closed instantly, swallowing both Yue Yang and the Chaos Ghost. Only when the human-faced demon appeared out of the Sea of flames did Hui Tai Lang realise that there was another enemy all along, remaining hidden from his sight behind the flames. It turned out that in his eyes, the suspiciously hidden human-faced demon resembled the appearance of a fisherman with the body of a fish.
Besides having a hugely disproportionate mouth, this monster fish had a strange face that resembled a burning stone and there was even a tentacle on top of its head.
There was a ball of magic crystal that exuded pure energy on the tip of its head.
The whirlpool made a sneak attack and jumped out of the Sea of Flames to engulf Yue Yang’s odd-faced fishman.
Then, it retreated back into the flames proudly.
It was about to slap the fiery lava with its powerful tail and was preparing to dive back into the shield of the fire, all in hopes to wait for another victim.
Suddenly, the mouth that had just swallowed up a bunch of junk started to swell up. And just like a volcanic eruption, the fishman’s huge mouth suddenly opened, spouting countless sources of flames in the form of waves. Just as the flame tornado that was about to disappear from a distance changed its power and appearance, it suddenly became a hundred times stronger, drawing almost half of the Sea of Flames away. The odd-faced fishman had no time to escape into the depths of the Sea of Flames, so it couldn’t do anything but allow the situation to unfold.
Even if the strange-faced fishman was a fire sea creature that had the strength of a 4th Heaven Rank, it was not enough to see through the camouflaged flame tornado that carried the Divine Power of Calamity.
Chaos Ghost angrily watched a hand popping out from the strange-faced fishman’s mouth.
Several golden thunderbolts dropped from a very high altitude.
The bolts directly blasted the head of the fishman that was stuck in the depths of the flame tornado. The fishman with the strange face vomited again, spewing out all of the junk that it had swallowed before, but Hui Tai Lang did not see Yue Yang.
“What are you looking at? Did you really think that this Young Master would seriously let a spoiled fish consume me?” Yue Yang’s real figure appeared above the head of Hui Tai Lang.
Under his surprise gaze, Yue Yang gave him a fierce kick.
This heavy kick was so familiar, and it was so timely as well.
Hui Tai Lang received the greatest boost from Yue Yang as both his courage and strength doubled from before.
The master is here, I can finally let go of this! Hui Tai Lang immediately vomited the Volcanic Whale that had just been bitten,releasing the terrifying clump of meat that could not be swallowed as he regained his freedom. Now, he truly understood the value of freedom. In fact, they were in a mutually uncomfortable scenario— the Volcanic Whale was having a hard time, but Hui Tai Lang was also feeling very uncomfortable, especially when there was a Lord of Fire that constantly used his mental power to force a contract between them. He felt that the time he spent in that position was no less than an hour. Relying on the Innate True Qi and the small power of the Law transmitted by Yue Yang, Hui Tai Lang immediately doubled in size happily.
A powerful head bump knocked away the Volcanic Whale that looked like a clump of flesh.
Hui Tai Lang wanted to tell Yue Yang as soon as he could.
The biggest enemy was not the Volcanic Whale, but the Lord of Fire who just hid himself and sneaked off. That guy was the most terrifying existence.
But he didn’t have time to speak. Except for the large head shake that he did after bumping the Volcanic Whale, he used his entire frame to shield over Yue Yang’s head, subconsciously blocking the possibly heavy blow from Lord of Fire for his master.
Boom!
The giant palm of fire that appeared out of the Sea of Flames without warning had slapped Hui Tai Lang away.
The first action after its successful blow was to close the giant palm homeopathically, as if trying to squeeze a little ant to death, trying to pinch the comparatively small student Yue Yang to death.
Compared with the Lord of Fire’s palm, Yue Yang was really considered smaller than a little ant.
No matter how he looked at it, Yue Yang wouldn’t be able to escape from the grasps of his palm.
So, he closed his palms and tightened it hard into a fist.
The squeezing motion formed a high temperature and intense inflammation that was a thousand degrees higher than that of the Sea of Flames. The temperature had reached the ultra high heat of melting gold, sparkling stones and gasifying everything.
Hui Tai Lang that was sent flying was about to drop back, but the Volcanic Whale that fell into the Sea of Flames immediately recovered its combat power as its tail twitched vigorously. Hui Tai Lang that was hit was once again swept away like a meteor as he disappeared into the sky. The Lord of Fire emerged from the Sea of Flames, but his face did not portray the joy of killing the enemy.
On the contrary, he wore a strange expression.
He looked at his right hand that was formed by fire, only to be surprised to find that his fist that had strangled the enemy was incredibly frozen. It turned out that his fingers and palms that were made in the form of hot flames were now gradually frozen into ice. From the interior to the exterior, it spreaded slowly until his entire right hand was frozen. A kind of humiliating anger flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Fire. Except for a certain rival back then, no one had ever frozen the palm of his hand.
No, even the rival back then failed to do this.
There was no increasing support for the Sea of Flames and the body of the fire energy element back then either.
A person who could perfectly control the flames had his own hand turned into ice by the enemy. What else is this if it wasn’t shameful?
The will of the Lord of Fire erupted and the entire frozen fist instantly ‘smashed to pieces’ forcefully. The icy fragments that dispersed all over the sky were completely wiped out in the raging flames surrounding it that carried his anger and rage.
Only Yue Yang, who had been ‘strangled’ just now, remained standing in a calm and collected manner.
The corners of his lips maintained his ever-present smile as if nothing had happened and everything was business as usual.
“Who are you?” The Lord of Fire didn’t understand Yue Yang’s identity, but he could guess one thing. This weird young man probably knew Hui Tai Lang. Otherwise, the wolf wouldn’t risk himself to save him. Moreover, when Hui Tai Lang saw him, he was completely energised, ridding himself entirely from the mental lock.
“It doesn’t matter who I am; the matter is who are you? Don’t you know that Hui Tai Lang is my watchdog? You’re still looking into the gaze of the owner when you’re beating up the dog, so it’s obvious that you’re asking for a fight if you’re beating up my family’s watchdog in front of me!” Yue Yang took out the ‘I am a gangster, are you afraid now?’ look, but the Lord of Fire frowned when he heard this kind of bullshit.
“He’s your watchdog? Nonsense, you don’t have a contract with it at all!” The Lord of Fire was a little confused. Could it be that after ten thousand years, the Tong Tian Tower has a super power like the Buried Sword?
This kid looked like a pupil—if it weren’t for a second generation ancestor, it would be impossible for him to have such strength at such a young age. But this kid didn’t seem to be the type who lies. If he used a beast as a watchdog, then the owner behind it would probably be a really strong man like that of the Buried Sword. It wasn’t all that weird for those who bore the blood of their powerful ancestors to be a prodigy, despite its probabilities being one out of ten thousand.
Originally, the Lord of Fire wanted to kill Yue Yang in seconds, but he was now afraid that he might be a bit too eager to shoot him. In case his death would provoke a certain powerful enemy that he could not afford to, he suppressed his anger a little and asked, “Who are you? Why do you not greet me upon the sight of a strong senior cultivator? Was this how your family educated you?”
“The adults only educated me in the way that I should be careful when I see people with unpredictable intentions. My civility and politeness depends on people’s character. For a senior who makes a sneak attack, I think it wouldn’t be too late to figure out his identity before deciding if I should respect them. Whether you are an Innate or whether you’re insane, I do not know you. So, who exactly are you?” Yue Yang asked with a sneer.
“When this Lord captures you, I will be sure to let you know!” The Lord of Fire expanded his mind infinitely, spreading across the entire Sea of Flames.
Finally, he discovered that there were no other enemies besides Yue Yang in the Sea of Flames.
This was nothing but a child that ran away from home to venture on a journey to improve cultivation. With no adults to look out for him, there was no need to ponder about decisions too much.
Maybe it was a bit too soon to go in for the kill, but it was very necessary to slow down and interrogate him slowly to know about the progression of the outside world. The ice attribute energy of this boy was very powerful— and if he was a descendent of one of the family lines of his enemies, all the more reason not to let him go.
However, the enemy had died with him for many years, so there should not be many future generations.
Perhaps, an inheritor among the line of descendents.
There were many talented people in the Tong Tian Tower. At every certain age, one or several super-powerful people like him would be born. It was considered a normal occurrence— after all, it would have been weirder if there were none!
The Lord of Fire felt a certain threat, but he also got a little excited. If there were no stronger opponents than himself in the future generations, doesn’t it mean that the entire Tong Tian Tower would belong to him? Today, this kid must be captured and interrogated about the modern situation of the Tong Tian Tower. If the Tong Tian Tower did not have a strong person who surpasses him, it was about time for himself, who had been in hiding for many years to recover his strength, to go out and seize the ownership of the entire Tower.
“Boy, let this God teach you in the place of your family! I’ll educate you on the meaning of politeness!” The Lord of Fire laughed triumphantly. Maybe the super strong man who helped nurture this kid would be a bit tricky to deal with, but there is nothing to be afraid of a mere kid that has a backing! With his strength alone, there’s nothing that could possibly scare me!
[TL note]:
Wheeeee, new chp! At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!
At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
