Chapter 485: Crumble!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
It was an incredibly amazing sight to see people still riding on horse carriages in this era, even when horse carriages no longer existed!
Looking at the vast skies above, one could see the lonely galaxy with huge stars as a backdrop.
But apart from the crowd, the strange creatures that’d died for many years were also standing on the spot unmoving. Further away, there was a 100 zhang condensed light flashing across, causing no one to be able to see what was within it.
“Wait! This is not a video image, there’s really a strange beast pulling the carriage!” the Drought Demon suddenly exclaimed as the red mist around its body turned thicker in an instant. However, the crowd could not feel any heat from it at all.
“Impossible! Isn’t the strange beast dead already? How could a dead beast still carry us and gallop across the galaxy?!”
Ling Xu quibbled skeptically.
“I’m not sure, but in my opinion, this is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Although we don’t know how this strange beast that’s supposed to be dead is currently running across the galaxy, the good news is that we’re finally getting away from Earth. Of course, there’s the worry that this fellow might run out of energy halfway there.”
Even Wang Wuyou could not help feeling a little apprehensive and worried at this moment. After all, they were currently far up in space!
Fa Wang also shook his head and said, “We can only leave everything to heaven’s will now.”
Everyone exchanged a look and shrugged their shoulders. There was nothing they could do in this situation even if they wanted to. After all, the difference between their levels and the current circumstances was too far wide.
The beautiful scene of the milky way passing by their windows only lasted for a brief moment before it disappeared completely. Very soon, everyone could only drift endlessly in the vast expanse of darkness.
A thousand zhang tall door stood in the distance. This was where the crowd had entered from. Originally, when they entered, there was a 10 zhang gap left behind by them. But now, it’d actually closed completely.
The crowd returned to the huge door and stood before it. Numerous runes were flowing along the doors, emanating a scary pressure!
“That ball of light was pointing towards this direction just now, could it be that there’s some kind of profits from here?”
The Water Ape pointed a finger towards a direction. Everyone nodded and followed after it. That direction did not just contain the area with the dead creatures; there was an unknown condensed light there, and nobody knew what was held within it.
It wasn’t that no one tried to open the huge door, but every force that was thrown at it had disappeared without exception, as if struck against a muddy pool. There wasn’t the slightest bit of reaction from it.
“There’s some ruins of a structure over here!”
This seperate space was extremely vast, and was likely at least tens of kilometers wide. At this time, a Greater Demon returned from its scouting and respectfully reported its findings to the Water Ape.
The crowd very quickly rushed over as well, only to find the ruins of a huge structure that spanned several kilometers wide. Most of it was rubble; the 10 meter tall structure was in their center.
“Looks like it’s this place.”
Bei Feng nodded his head. The place where he saw the light from was most likely this place.
The crowd carefully walked into the ruins; most of them directly turned into dust with just a light touch. It wasn’t clear how long they’d existed to reach such a state of brittleness.
There was evidence of some formation runes on the structures, but unfortunately, they’d lost their effectiveness long ago.
The crowd’s speed was not fast, but they were not slow, either. In just over 10 minutes, they arrived before the only complete structure.
A layer of dim light barrier surrounded the structure, but it looked like it would disappear soon. The structure was not undamaged—there was many a mark of damage on it.
“Pa!”
A metal ball embedded in the ground trembled, and then completely broke. Following that, the barrier of light around the entire building disappeared.
The structure instantly collapsed. If not for the formation, it would have fallen apart long ago.
The building collapsing stirred up a large amount of dust, which was easily dispersed by the crowd.
In the middle of the collapsed building, there was a young lady dressed in white robes lying on the ground. A sharp fingernail of incomparable sharpness was embedded in her chest!
“I’ve seen a ghost! Even after so many years, the blood around this girl’s wound is still bright red. And from the look of her expression, she seems more like she’s asleep.”
“You’ve seen a ghost indeed! This girl’s chest is still rising and dropping!”
The group of Demonic Beasts all gasped and growled among themselves.
Everyone felt a chill spread down their backs. No matter how they looked at it, this girl was not a simple character who could be offended. Not to mention that her body hadn’t aged at all despite thousands of years passing, her chest was still rising and dropping softly! It was obvious that she was most likely only heavily injured.
Nobody dared to approach the girl. This girl was way too scary. Everyone could sense that her blood and Qi was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, but at the same time, there was a nauseating aura that was tangled with her as well.
Cleanse Filth stood out and stroked its long beard with claws, then guessed, “Just who is this girl? Couldit be that she’s a palace official of the Qin Dynasty?”
“I don’t think so, if she’s really an important character of the Great Qin, there’s no way they would leave her to suffer alone in this place,” another person retorted.
“Hong long!”
As everyone crowded around and speculated, the seperate space suddenly began to shake!
Countless huge cracks appeared all over the black earthy ground, and the space itself began to twist.
The orange ball of light above them shook and suddenly flickered out, causing everyone to plunge into darkness.
A few minutes later, the space lit up again, and as everyone turned to look again at the female corpse, they realized that she’d gone missing.
“Where’s the girl? How did she go missing?!”
“Impossible! Who could have taken the body away from in front of all of us?!”
“It is indeed impossible, but what if the girl had left on her own?”
As soon as the discussion reached here, everyone fell silent as they looked around them cautiously.
It was normal for the crowd to feel scared; as the saying went, the bigger the forest, the more varieties of birds there were. How many of the people present were normal?
Wang Wuyou, a person who died and was reborn as an Extrme Yin Demonic Corpse!
The Water Ape, a water-attributed Greater Demon!
As for the rest… there’s no point mentioning them. In any case, none of them were normal. Looking at it in that light, it wasn’t that hard to accept that the female corpse was abnormal as well.
A Void Gu realm Demonic Beast looked around cautiously as a sharp gleam flashed in its eyes, quickly vanishing without anyone noticing.
Outside the carriage, the thousand zhang long strange beast was moving at an extremely fast speed. It’d already crossed an unknown number of galaxies, and the blood and Qi it was emanating was massive enough to blot out the sky and cover the sun!
On this day, many lifeforms on numerous planets all felt a terrifying pressure pass over their heads like the might of heaven!
“Ang!”
The strange beast let out a loud roar, and its enormous body shrank by a round. Following that, it extended its claws and ripped out once again on two sides of the void space, once again creating another spatial rift!
Its action this time was very slow, unlike before. Not only that, its scales began to fall off, turning from incredibly bright and sharp to dull and colorless.
From its tail end, its body began to fall apart inch by inch, revealing its pearly white skeleton.
The strange beast gripped the corners of the spatial rift tightly in its claws, tearing it open with great effort. Its actions were extremely slow, as if its strength was insufficient.
But in the next moment, a crazed expression shone in its eyes as all its flesh and blood was ignited in an instant!
The blaze created by its blood and Qi ignition surged upwards, covering an area of 100,000 zhang!
As if it’d obtained a new burst of strength, the strange beast’s body shook as the spatial rift was directly torn apart!
The spatial rift was so forcefully torn open that after the huge carriage barged into the spatial rift, it remained agape, only closing back again after a long time.
The carriage was already moving very quickly through the vast space, but now, it seemed to have been shot with steriods as it tore through the darkness, reaching a speed over tens of millions times greater than before!
But the strange beast had already turned into a pile of bones which did not have the ability to pull the carriage anymore. At this time, the carriage was charging forward by itself, completely reliant on the momentum that it had entered the spatial rift with!
A distance of a million li in the outside world was equivalent to only about a hundred meters, no, just one meter in this passage!
Although the carriage relied more heavily on the force of inertia, and the speed of it now was much slower than when the beast pulled it through space, the total distance travelled was far from comparable to travelling outside the spatial rift!
Of course, not everyone had the ability to tear open a spatial wormhole like this. Even if an expert brought another person into a wormhole, if the latter didn’t have the sufficient cultivation, they would still be left only with the path of death!
At this moment, Bei Feng, Wang Wuyou, and the rest belonged to this case. After being tossed into the wormhole, they had little choice but to be corroded by the power of the primal chaos.
The runes on the carriage were growing fainter and fainter at this moment, burning a large amount of energy constantly as they fought to withstand the pressure in the wormhole.
Time passed day by day, and it was hard to tell how long the group had been drifting through space for. The formations on the carriage could no longer hold, and directly shattered!
“Kacha!”
After the formation broke, the originally sturdy carriage also began to fall apart!
Although the carriage was made of incredibly sturdy materials, it had still suffered heavy damage beforehand. After such a long time, the carriage’s core had been wrecked long ago. At this time, with the terrifying power of the void crushing down on it, the carriage could not hold any longer.
At this time, Bei Feng and the rest still did not know that they were in such a precarious situation. Everyone had their eyes closed in meditation.
‘What a pity, I still don’t know how much longer it’ll take to recover from my injuries. My foundation are heavily damaged as well, and without very high grade medicine, there’s no chance of fixing it.’
Bei Feng spat out a breath of air and shook his head. After such a long time, he’d only managed to recover his strength by 80 percent. If he hadn’t been so heavily injured, he should have already broken through to the Controlled Dan middle stage by now. But from the looks of things now, breaking through was a thing that would only happen far in the future.
Looking at the little fox in his arms, Bei Feng felt extremely helpless. Although he’d managed to extend its lifespan by three years, it hadn’t woken up yet ever since it’d fallen unconscious a long while ago.
Right now, the little fox could be said to be a cup with a hole at the bottom. Once the water inside leaked out completely, it would be gone.
As for the Yin-Yang School’s legacy, Bei Feng had naturally taken it out and looked through it during this time. It was extremely fragmented, and contained a large number of pieces. Just translating this portion of the legacy had cost him over 100,000 experience points.
Outside, the originally mightly and domineering carriage was already wobbling dangerously, and was on the brink of complely falling apart!
All of a sudden, the entire spatial passage shook, and a strange spatial ripple swept through it!
“Kacha!”
“Hong-long!”
The carriage shuddered lightly, and suddenly burst apart!
The thousand zhang tall carriage collapsed into pieces, and the seperate mini-space inside the carriage also rumbled from the chain reaction!
