Chapter 554 – Rock Nest

They were all extremely cautious while flying inside the sea of rocks, Tang Tian controlled Sextans Eye to prevent it from flying too quickly.

Rocks were the only things they could see, inside the land of silence.

“Be careful, there’s something strange!” Tang Tian’s intuition was the sharpest, as if he could sense something lying in wait in the darkness, he immediately warned the rest.

The three of them became even more cautious, as they trusted Tang Tians intuition. Although he did not look to be very reliable in times, but on the battlefield, Tang Tians judgement rarely made mistakes. Even the arrogant Little Fool became even more careful, since he had experienced the fool’s beastial like intuition.

“Look at that rock!” Crane exclaimed, attracting everyone’s attention.

All of their eyes followed Crane’s finger, towards an ordinary looking rock. The surface of the rock had holes that resembled a bees’ nest, causing all of their hair to stand.

“Be careful!” Tang Tian’s face suddenly changed.

Just as his words came out, a group of jet black shadows flew out from the packed holes, shooting towards them like rain.

All the black shadows were extremely fast, to the point that they could not be seen with their naked eyes.

Little Fool’s reaction was the fastest, the Ya Ya Umbrella suddenly blocked the group’s front. Serene looking light auras lit up from the umbrella’s surface, transforming into a light barrier. The Ya Ya Umbrella was broken in the fight against the Temple Saints, and with its current spirit value, it was not of much of a use. If it was the past Little Fool, he would had thrown it because it was useless. But Ya Ya had saved him, and thus he reluctantly kept it.

For a fussy perfectionist with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, to keep something for commemoration and no value was truly difficult to accept.

So Little Fool immediately spent a relatively large amount of energy to reconstruct the Ya Ya Umbrella.

The new Ya Ya Umbrella had characteristics leaning towards more on defensive capabilities, and Little Fool did not care about what he invested into it. He added the Honorable Martial Crown, which was a powerful furnace cauldron in the shape of a skull, so the new Ya Ya Umbrella’s defensive attributes were outstanding.

Ding ding ding!

The sound of the attacks poured like rain, the sound coming from the umbrella. At the same time, an extremely surprising force came through from the umbrella as well.

Little Fool’s face changed.

The Ya Ya Umbrella was forced to retreat backwards, the strong force caused the surface of the Umbrella to be ignited with sparks, causing the dark void to light up.

Little Fool took a deep breath, and suddenly spun the Umbrella’s handle.

Woosh!

The Umbrella’s surface rotated very quickly, the intense revolutions caused the powerful attacks to ricochet.

Chi Chi Chi!

The black figures were flung by the umbrella, and shot into the boulders around, at the same time releasing unbearable piercing sounds as they entered the rocks, it was ear piercing.

Facing the black figures, the sturdy boulders were like tofu, easily pierced through and leaving thumb sized holes. All of their faces changed at the same time, they finally understood how the holes had appeared on the boulders.

The black figures that separated everywhere, once again pounced towards Tang Tian’s group.

Like lightning!

But all of them had been through so many battles, initially they were shocked, but they had already regained their focus. The first to counterattack was Ling Xu, gently twisting his palm and blossoming out countless silver auras into the air around him.

When the black figures entered the silver aura, pa pa pa, all of them exploded into pieces.

Ling Xu was somewhat excited, all the black figures were strong, stronger than he had imagined, and he was pushed back by the intense shock wave produced by the attack.

But this force only made him more excited.

Clashing head on was his favourite attacking style. Without hesitation, his body flowed along with his spear as another raindrop sized silver aura exploded in front of him, trapping the black figure that was flying towards him.

Pa pa pa!

The dense explosions sounded out from the silver rain of spear auras.

The Crane Sword was unsheathed in Crane’s hands, the clear sound of a crane cry aroused everyone’s spirit.

Soaring upwards like a black crane dancing, he danced along with his sword, performing weird stances, forming a formless ripple with Crane at the center dissipating outwards. All the black figures that were swept by the formless ripple would turn sluggish.

Everyone then noticed that the black figures were actually black worms.

The black worms were the size of fingers, their bodies were shiny black with hints of metallic luster. Their bodies were full of joints, allowing them to curve around casually. All these joints were like many springs forced to cramp together as they bent, storing a large potential energy. The moment they touched the rocks, they would bend, like a spring contracting on the rocks, they would use the momentum to shoot out, leaving a thumb size hole deeply embedded into the rock.

Crane had never seen these black worms in all the ancient records before, their frontal mouth pincer like weapons were like two extremely sharp razors. And what was terrifying was that the two sharp blades were moving at an extremely fast frequency. The strong rocks, facing those ‘weapons’, were easily cut down like tofu.

At the moment, Crane seemed to be in a trance, like an ethereal illusion, his dancing figure was blurred.

If we were to say that Jing Hao’s spirit domain, the sword spirit was extremely rare, then Crane’s spirit domain was even more mysterious and unfathomable. Even Crane himself did not expect that after training with the [Heavenly Crane Sword Principle] till the end, what he had cultivated out was not a sword technique, but a type of sacrificial ritual.
