Chapter 133 - True Supreme Water (1/2)
The desert was vast and boundless. As golden sand flickered about, it made people a bit dizzy. While stepping on top, one would often feel a burning pain as well as waves of scorching heat attacking their feet.
If it was an an ordinary person walking here, then they would certainly not be able to withstand the heat for a long time before fainting. The temperature of this desert was high to the point of being terrifying, as if it was a giant furnace.
Currently, the Rain Clan’s mood was fiery and passionate like the desert. They were full of joy, because they were closing in on their destination with the True Supreme Water in their sights.
A divine reservoir could be spotted just two li away. It was only a meter in diameter, however, it was exceptionally conspicuous within the golden desert.
Although the divine reservoir was small, there were still waves of intimidating power coming from it, as if they were the waves from a huge storm. The divine fluid was bright and translucent, and had a type of divine luster as strands of multicolored like illuminated from within.
Moreover, dense mist rose and auspicious vapors were surging about as they enshrouded that area. Even if if one was uninformed and had never heard of the True Supreme Water, they would still be able to tell that this was a unique and priceless treasure.
This was due to the fact that the view was extremely astonishing, matching the characteristics of the treasure.
“This is great! There is hope for the rise of our Rain Clan. If we are able to obtain this divine reservoir, our clan will definitely be incomparably splendid in the future, recreating the glory of our ancient family name.” Yu Wencheng was excited, and even his beard and hairs were trembling.
The group of people surveyed the scene from an elevated position, and they were all extremely hopeful. What did that reservoir of water represent? They all knew just how important this was for their Rain Clan. All of them were extremely excited, to the point where their bodies began to tremble.
As long as a single drop appeared in the outside world, it would immediately trigger a sensation. The value of this water reservoir was truly impossible to measure!
Yu Kun reminded, “Be careful. The True Supreme Water has a soul, so we cannot recklessly damage its symbols. We need to carefully close in on it, using the Rain Clan’s natural water’s affinity to obtain its trust.”
Although the True Supreme Water was considered a divine liquid, it seemed to have a mind of its own. After using the symbols and natural laws, it could take to the skies or flee on the ground; it was difficult to truly capture.
They had to get its approval first. If they tried to forcefully seize it, then it was impossible to obtain this entire collection of water.
The Rain Clan’s people were all silently praying as they took steps forward, pausing with each step. They recited their clan’s ancient incantations, and the force of the water in this area immediately became more active, emitting a blue mist of light.
Aohou...
A black tiger roared, creating a black whirlwind. Several sand dunes were directly rolled up into the sky. It was an extremely terrifying sight, and that tornado reached the limit of the sky.
“What is this? Why did a vicious beast appear?” Everyone was suddenly startled.
“It’s not a true vicious beast. It is created out of symbols, and is half real and half illusionary. Do not be deceived by it,” Yu Wencheng muttered.
He began to examine it. Even though they were within the desert, there were still bluish green ripples moving up and down. It extended from where he was, obstructing that black tiger and attempting to reveal its true form.
Hong
With a loud burst of sound, the black tiger exploded, blowing up on the spot. It became sand, and the tornado also disappeared.
However, right when the sound of the wind died down, a different noise began to sound. If was as if the joints between bones were being displaced.
Kacha, kacha...
Golden sand began to shake, and then the desert began to split open. A pile of snow white bones appeared, quickly assembling together. It formed a bird of prey, only that it lacked feathers.
Symbols flickered above its head, emitting a strange fluctuation and a rather terrifying aura.
“This was a powerful expert within the desert back then. Who could have thought that the True Supreme Water truly had a spirit, being able to summon and reconstruct these dead remains.”
Multicolored light flickered, and the sound of joints moving rang out again, causing another section of the desert to be torn open. This time, ten bones appeared at once, all with symbols circulating about them.
“So many strong beings have perished here!” The group of people exclaimed
At the same time, many of their eyes began to reveal a fiery passion. Those were all precious bones! There was a total of ten of them, and regardless of what else happened, just these treasures were already extremely astonishing.
“We cannot directly attack, or else we might agitate the True Supreme Water. If it escapes, locating it again will be troublesome,” said Yu Wencheng.
“This True Supreme Water is truly formidable. It has the unique characteristic of transformation like a guardian spirit, and can actually manipulate these skeletal remains.” That legless elder exclaimed.
The True Supreme Water was currently trying to grant these skeletons life. The symbols once again shone with vitality, creating a rather terrifying scene.
“Fortunately, we made sufficient preparations and deduced the various things that could have happened within the Hundred Shattering Mountains.” Yu Kun nodded his head.
They took out a precious bottle, and after opening it, a dark yellow mist surged. Soon after, it gave off strands of dark light. The three individuals simultaneously used their precious methods, urging the dark light into forming ripples, pouring it forward.
Dark light danced about, sending waves of patterns over. It formed all types of creatures one after another. There were monsters, dragons, humanoids, and all of them were completely different.
This was the Hellwater refined by the Rain Clan. The cost to produce it was extremely high. Many symbol bones were smelted in a furnace, and water from the Yin river within the tombs was used to refine it, causing many symbols to be fused together.
Of course, the precious bones that were used were typically fragments. They were all precious artifacts that had been ruined during the course of a battle or those that had just been created, so they were not as valuable as symbol bones.
Otherwise, how could a bottle of Hellwater make such a large clan feel so much pain? It was because they had to use up so many symbol bones in the smelting process!
The Hellwater was boiling, and the mist drifted about. However, the light that formed was not actually yellow, but was instead a dark light. Strands of the dark light flew out, wrapping up everything in front. All types of symbols resonated, and as if a gate to the underworld was being opened, this entire area became gloomy and sinister.
Skeletons were scattered one after another within the desert. Within the dark light, their motion unexpectedly became sluggish. In the end, they fell with hualala sounds. The bone joints collapsed, completely disassembling.
“This is really effective!” The group of people were overjoyed, and were extremely stirred up.
“Our goal for refining this bottle of Hellwater was for the sake of exploring the Forbidden Land of Death. I never expected for us to waste it here. A person should be happy with what they have, I guess. If we are able to obtain the True Supreme Water, then we’ll just wait within the desert without going anyway until the exit out of the Hundred Shattering Mountains opens.”
Everyone within the Rain Clan looked at the divine reservoir in front of them. Their hearts were stirred up, but they did not forget to put up necessary precautions. This divine liquid was psychic, and could summon skeletons to do its bidding; only the heavens knew what it was going to do.
“Why have you disturbed me from my slumber?” A weak and indistinct existence appeared, and it had a bewildered look.
All of them were shocked. This divine reservoir really was going to transform into its spiritual body after all! It was originally already full of divinity, so if it truly did succeed, then it would definitely be incomparably powerful in the future, to the point of igniting divine flames and sealing deities.
Luckily, its existence was still weak. The road to forming a spiritual body was still far off, so dealing with it was still possible.
”We are the descendants of the Rain Deity. Our ancestors are the same, we have no malicious intentions...” The Rain clan’s elders tried to communicate with it.
Suddenly, the ground cracked open. A beam of green light flew out, and a vine appeared at that location. Its body was sparkling and translucent, and it was several zhang long. It was not that thick, but it was similar in shape to a Flood Dragon.
“There was actually a guardian!” Everyone from the Rain Clan became fearful.
All divine existences had vicious birds and beasts protecting them. They never expected a vine to be here, and it seems like it received some benefits from the True Supreme Water. Its roots were nourished, and had an ample amount of spiritual essence; it was extremely powerful.
“This is the last obstacle. As long as we defeat this Spirit Vine, the True Supreme Water will be in our hands.” The Rain Clan members all clenched their fists, and light burned within their eyes.
