Chapter 128: Chaotic Battle

The Beast King had been driven back!

The Star Roc, the Fire Beast Bifang, the Scarlet Flame Beast, and even the invincible Ancient True Dragon had all been forced to retreat. Though they were merely manifestations carved in stone, possessing only the forms of their originals, the might they radiated remained immeasurable.

The Ancient True Dragon was especially terrifying. As an ancient taboo that had endured across endless ages, its power was so dreadful that it made it difficult for anyone to take even a single step forward. Only a madman like Luo Hao would dare provoke such a taboo.

“The stone carvings have shattered, and the Beast Kings have retreated. This is our chance!”

“Charge! Push through!”

“Ancient battle sword! Supreme true blood!”

With the three Beast Kings dispersed and the Ancient True Dragon driven back, the human martial artists outside the magma lake could no longer suppress the fervor in their hearts. Every one of them seemed to have been injected with stimulants.

...

Yet while some rejoiced, others grieved. Chu Yu suddenly heard a tremendous boom. Someone had actually blown up a furnace. It was utterly inconceivable. Moments later, a man with a face blackened by soot came running out, fleeing the Radiant Elixir Hall as though he had no face left to show anyone. Well, that made two people who had received a bye.

This wave was enormous, slamming the child down until half his body disappeared beneath the surface. His face had been visible before, but now only the top of his head could be seen faintly.

“Damn it. Two hundred points of spiritual power? I don’t even know how much spiritual power I possess myself. How am I supposed to raise it to two hundred?”

Chu Qian thought helplessly as he glanced at the technological watch on his wrist and sighed.

The discovery filled Qin Yang with excitement. An island like this was the safest place of all, and it suited his wishes perfectly as a settlement. Here, he could grow quietly and develop under the radar.

At the critical moment, someone tackled Shen Enran from behind. The two of them crashed heavily onto the ground to the side.

“Chu Qian, don’t take this the wrong way, but as a rich heir, giving someone a ten-carat diamond? Isn’t that a little stingy?”

Liu Feng laughed with wild abandon. He leisurely took a sapphire ring the size of a pigeon’s egg from his pocket and personally slipped it onto Zhao Yanyan’s finger.

The tension in Zhuge Chengzhu’s heart finally eased. Now that Zhuge Jиеyan was safe and sound, it meant she had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm and already possessed formidable means.

His mother, Wang Caiyan, entered without even knocking. When she saw Chu Qian and Hu Lingxuan, her brows furrowed.

Blanched tiger prawns and steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce were practically universally loved among mid-range dishes. Southerners and northerners alike enjoyed them, and they were highly acceptable to every palate.

When Shi Shouxin heard that it was Kunlun Frost Jade, he leaped up in excitement. He immediately drew a dagger and drove it viciously into one of the jade stones, intending to pry a piece loose.

With that thought, Jin Fengjiao lashed out several times with the long whip in her hand. A blazing ring of light suddenly shot forth, carrying an overwhelming, peerless force as it descended upon Luo Hao.

Yet you are lonely as well. Three years is such a long time. Even if the road leads through the Yellow Springs, after three years you have already gone so far along it. I am afraid I can no longer catch up with you. I still cannot find you.

By the time I returned to the Underworld Affairs Shop, it was already eleven at night. Zhang Tao awoke upon hearing me come back and asked when we were going to the Ghost Village.

I crouched beside the pot. Wisps of spiritual energy lingered around it, identical to the energy I had sensed in the cinnabar beneath the water. Could there truly be a cinnabar mine here—and could there really be spirits living within it?

The moment that thought occurred to me, I had no mind to continue devouring anything. I shot into the air and flew toward the direction from which the disturbance had come.

Even so, he did not slow down in the slightest. Instead, he accelerated once more, secretly regretting his decision. Had he known this would happen, he would never have come to inspect whether that beast tamer had completed his mission. Otherwise, he would not have encountered Luo Hao and the others.

A series of hurried footsteps came from beside us. Countless people were frantically drawing closer.

Only after exchanging blows did he realize that he had greatly underestimated his opponent. After regrouping with Fan Qing, he stared at Luo Hao with a grave expression.

When brute force proved ineffective, he began flattering me. By the time he spoke those words, he was displaying such reverence that he seemed to be fawning over me as though I were the Jade Emperor himself.

Ever since the previous invasion by an alien race had failed and everyone’s levels had been reset, all reputation had vanished as well. Since that day, Tongtian had never obtained any more reputation. It seemed the system had canceled it because the alien invasion mission had failed.
