Chapter 58 – Charging Alone into the Dragon Pond (2/2)

The gentle and watery light spread out from the Night Pearl in his hand to all directions, yet after quite some time, this light still did not shine upon anything like a wall.

This was an extraordinarily vast space, incomparably spacious and empty. One could even place a true palace hall in here.

Chen Changsheng had never imagined that the Great Zhou Imperial Palace would have such a massive underground space beneath it. Judging by the distance he had run, the place he was standing might even be under some place in the capital beyond the walls of the Imperial Palace.

The light of the Night Pearl gradually spread farther, and the vast and limitless space seemed to gradually grow more real.

In the distance, there was a flashing of silver light, densely packed like countless layers of silver scraps or like all the stars in the night sky had descended to the human world.

Chen Changsheng raised the Night Pearl and walked in that direction. When he reached those silver scraps, he realized to his shock that it was actually a pile of silver ingots!

A silver sea formed from innumerable silver ingots.

In the center of the silver sea was a golden mountain made of gold bricks.

At the summit of this golden mountain grew a tree of dark red coral.

On the numerous branches of this coral tree hung countless fruits carved from diamonds and crystals.

A golden mountain, a silver sea, and a coral tree, and also tens of thousands of jeweled fruits.

This scene was truly rather tacky, because it was far too extravagant, extravagant beyond description.

Chen Changsheng was shocked speechless, even almost forgetting about that pressure.

He had never seen this much wealth in his life.

To be more precise, on this continent, there had never been anyone who had seen this much treasure.

The surface of the silver sea was covered in a shallow layer of frost.

The surfaces of many silver ingots had begun to peel and were scattered about like wood shavings. The scraps of silver he had seen were these.

This underground space was so cold that not even silver could endure it.

Just then, there was a sudden gust of cold wind.

The silver sea began to swell as countless silver scraps were sent rustling all over the place. The color of the frost suddenly deepened as snow began to accumulate in the depths of the silver sea.

This gust of cold wind blew for a very long time.

Chen Changsheng's body was covered in a layer of snow, his eyebrows and eyelashes already stained white.

But his heart was even colder.

Because this cold wind that had persisted for a very long time was just a single breath.

An extremely long and extremely frightening breath.

The gloomy darkness suddenly gave birth to two faint balls of flame.

Those two balls of flame were pure and cold, without a hint of color.

Like flames of ice from the underworld.

The two flames slowly approached Chen Changsheng.

The terrifying pressure completely enveloped this underground space.

Chen Changsheng could no longer endure it, and blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

A hint of what could be called emotion suddenly appeared in those two flames.

At first perplexity, then shock, then delight, after that curiosity, and finally, it all transformed into iciness and ruthlessness.

They naturally could not really be flames of the underworld. They were two eyes even larger than Chen Changsheng's body.

The being that possessed this pair of eyes…how large would it be?

The Night Pearl left Chen Changsheng's hand and floated upwards, ultimately landing on the dome of this space.

Suddenly, the entire dome lit up. This was because the dome was studded with several thousand Night Pearls. Previously, when Chen Changsheng saw that silver sea, he thought that profuse stars in the night sky had all descended to the human world, but now he knew that this place had its own night sky and its own profuse stars.

The underground space gradually brightened.

A black rock appeared in the air.

It was swiftly joined by more and more black rocks.

Those black rocks absorbed the light spilling down from the dome, not reflecting any back.

Chen Changsheng clearly saw that these were not rocks, but scales.

A massive black rock was actually a black scale.

In this world, only one kind of scale could be so large: dragon scale.

A terrifying black dragon slowly appeared in the night sky.

It looked down at Chen Changsheng, its two eyes like flames of the underworld, cold and cruel.
