Chapter 1181 - Crossing the River (2/2)
However, Fang Yuan had awakened a split second faster than the other Dao Ancestors.
Sometimes, this split second was enough to be the deciding factor!
His body moved around quickly, like a fish swimming, utilizing a myriad of transformations to reach the edge of the river before the claws of the dragon caught him.
But it was still useless!
The claws of the dragon swelled in an instant and came crashing down on his head!
“Evil beast!”
“How dare you!”
Fang Yuan had no more tricks up his sleeve, but he believed that these Dao Ancestors would go all out to save themselves!
Sure enough, one of them used their hidden trump card and slightly delayed the Emperor Beast’s killing blow!
“Now!”
The pure white light in Fang Yuan flashed, and his eyes seemed to explode with flames. He shifted his body sideways, avoiding the claws and managing to reach the riverbank on the other side.
This small shift was the difference between life and death!
Rumble!
Behind him, the dragon claw landed, the black river howled, and the vengeful souls of the Dao Ancestors appeared again.
Blood-curdling cries came from the mist.
Fang Yuan stood still, looking at Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian, who had already arrived at this side of the riverbank, and his heart turned cold.
These two patriarchs had not helped the six Dao Ancestors while they were under attack. Instead, they had used the opportunity to cross the river and reach the altar without any damage!
At such a critical juncture, these two Dao Ancestors showed their indifference!
The path to supremacy was indeed paved with many bones beneath them.
The black river suddenly stopped howling.
Fang Yuan knew that was because it had obtained the blood sacrifice of a Dao Ancestor and was temporarily appeased. He wondered which one of them had fallen.
Splash!
Black water splashed, and two streams of light flew out of it with the dragon’s shadow behind them.
Splash!
A black light was slightly slower and was dragged back into the river.
A jade-green light appeared beside Fang Yuan. It was Dao Ancestor Feng Hua!
However, this female Dao Ancestor now had an unkempt appearance. Her clothing was torn, and her breathing was extremely unstable. She was obviously seriously injured!
“Hehe… I didn’t think that you’d still have the advantage in the end, Jun Tian!” Patriarch Hu Tian smiled falsely.
“Your helpers weren’t wiped out either.” Patriarch Jun Tian was staring at the altar.
A black snake swam out of the black river and turned into the figure of Dao Ancestor Black Thorn.
Its robes were torn, showing a translucent, gender-neutral face and body, and was expressionless. Nonetheless, it seemed to be in much better shape than Dao Ancestor Feng Hua.
“This black river swallowed three Dao Ancestors at once?” Fang Yuan was very shocked. His thoughts turned to Qing Ji, saddening him a little.
“All right. Since we’re here, we can now discuss the distribution of the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss!” Patriarch Jun Tian said gently while looking at the survivors.
“Naturally, the patriarchs will enjoy it first. We’ll only distribute it if there’s any left!” Dao Ancestor Feng Hua might be seriously injured, but she was still able to talk eloquently at this time, without affecting her previous state of mind.
In fact, the Dao Ancestors who survived the upheaval just now were the best of the best.
Even Dao Ancestors Jun Tian and Hu Tian were slightly surprised with the results!
“Hmm, we’ll do it this way then!” The two patriarchs exchanged gazes and nodded. “However, we still have to deal with the Emperor Beast first!”
Not only was the Emperor Beast cunning, but its strength was even more astonishing. If Patriarchs Hu Tian and Jun Tian were to fight it alone, they would not be its opponent. As such, they had to join forces and display the light of the Great Cosmological Abyss to defeat it.
This was also why they did not move even though the altar, and the hope of breakthrough, was within their grasp.
No one knew what would happen while they were refining the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss. If the Emperor Beast were to attack during this time, they would probably not end up better than the other Dao Ancestors!
Dao Ancestor Hu Tian’s thoughts flashed, and his gaze fell on Dao Ancestor Black Thorn. “Black Thorn, your Dao Fruit is indeed strange since you can waltz through the river of resentment. How about you head into the black river and lure the enemy? Jun Tian and I guarantee that you will refine this natural source after us.”
Faced with this temptation, Dao Ancestor Black Thorn kept silent.
It might be foreign aid that Dao Ancestor Hu Tian invited, but luring the Emperor Beast from the black river was no longer a matter of danger. It was a matter of life or death!
And of course, it treasured its life.
“I know this is dangerous, but what if others help you?” Patriarch Jun Tian smiled as he turned his gaze to Fang Yuan and Dao Ancestor Feng Hua.
“Patriarch, we won’t be able to do anything to the Emperor Beast even if the three of us were to do it together…” Dao Ancestor Feng Hua’s expression was troubled.
The situation on the field was very obvious. Being the one with the most serious injuries, she was the most likely to die if they were to lure the enemy!
