Chapter 65 - Through The Sky (2/2)
Xin Huo was stressed, and with all his might, he calculated the probabilities and changes of the totem carvings. He instructed, "Now go in, move forward 183 feet and 2 inches!"
Zhong Yue burst out in an instant, and lightning crackled beneath his feet. Zilaa—he dashed into the seal and stopped abruptly right at the spot Xin Huo mentioned.
Lightning propagated beneath the Xiang Dragon radially, but before the bolts of lightning could travel far, they were all crushed away by the totem carvings around.
Zhong Yue levitated in the air with the lightning. He finely coordinated his body. The Dragon commanded the clouds, while the winds followed the tiger. In his Xiang Dragon form, it was not difficult for him to control lightning.
However, the difficulty in controlling the lightning would significantly increase when he reverted to his human form.
There were pros and cons both in the form of Xiang Dragon and a human; in the human form, he could continue with his cultivation, but he hadn't the slightest clue on how to cultivate in the form of a Xiang Dragon.
"What's next?" Zhong Yue watched the marvelous-looking totem carvings around him, his face twisted and his voice was throaty.
Just by looking he could tell, any one of these totem carvings could send him to heaven hundreds of times over. It was okay for him to watch and look, but if he intercepted with any one of the totem carvings, then death would be his only outcome!
"We wait."
Xin Huo was as nervous as Zhong Yue was, he said, "Don't stress, don't panic, look at me, I'm perfectly calm and steady…"
Zhong Yue lowered his sights, the death rays from the white skeletal giant beast below him missed its target, but the creature was now beneath the pool. Its mouth opened and roared, but nothing could be heard. Its huge body crouched and as the earth trembled, it sprung up into the air, gnawing its mouth right at Zhong Yue!
Its mouth was as big as half of a mountain when widely opened as if it were going to chew a hole in the sky!
"Xin Huo?" Cold sweat flooded Zhong Yue's forehead.
"A little bit longer…"
In the copper lamp, the little flame was in fact, more stressed than Zhong Yue. He leaped out of the lamp and with a hoarse voice, he yelled, "Wait… Jump, now!"
Above Zhong Yue, there were marvelous yet deadly totem carvings alighting down; below him, the malevolent mouth of the beast was coming right at him, he was already in the middle of its gaping mouth.
Zhong Yue clenched his teeth, lightning crackled beneath his leg, and with a leap, he thrust himself upward!
The moment he jumped up, the totem carvings above him suddenly broke off, it was as if the power they contained was too strong that it crushed the totem carvings by their own power.
That split second was the moment that decided his fate, the opportunity he needed to seize to live. Zhong Yue slipped past the totem carvings, and away from the malevolent mouth of the beast, he dived into the pool of water!
Like a dragon that met with water, Zhong Yue quickly swam toward the surface of the pool, and the giant beast followed behind him. Its head rammed into the pool, but unlike Zhong Yue, it was trapped by a net of totem carvings at the surface of its head!
However, the inertia of the giant beast carried him upward regardless. Booom—a loud burst followed the emergence of a Xiang Dragon from the pool as it landed on the solid ground and quickly ran away.
Right after the Xiang Dragon left, an explosion occurred in the middle of the pool, splashing the pool water all around like shrapnel from an explosion while a giant head rose out of the water. The eerie white color of its skull and the marvelous totem carvings engraved on its surface then become clear!
All of a sudden, he felt a tremendous aura reminiscent of a saint ... heavenly, imposing and yet, extremely terrorizing—Boom! The gigantic skull ruptured into pieces, crushed into bone ash by the totem carvings!
Zhong Yue, in the form of Xiang Dragon, quickly ran away right after he came out of the pool; suddenly, Zhong Yue spotted a shadow on the ground that grew larger with every second. He knew that it meant that something was falling from the sky right on top of him—Chui! The item missed Zhong Yue by a hair's margin and stabbed into the ground right in front of him!
"I've finally escaped from that forsaken place! This… is this the fang of that pseudo beast god?"
Zhong Yue quickly stopped. The thing that almost sliced him dead pierced into the mountain rocks beside him. It appeared to be a scimitar-shaped winter-white sharp fang, with weird and strange totem carvings engraved on it, it was one of that giant beast's fangs!
The fang was 17 feet long, around the height of two adults. One side of the fang was sliced flat by the seal of the gods while the other side was sharp and incisive. The edges of the fang were serrated and unaffected by the seal of gods.
Zhong Yue was startled, his heart was shocked and overjoyed at the same time.
The fang of a beast god, even if it comes from a pseudo-beast god, it was still fairly precious!
One had to know that he would be considered very, very lucky to be able to walk out of the Devil Soul Forbidden Land alive. The thoughts of finding treasures never even crossed his mind, not to mention the fang of a beast god. His mind was completely preoccupied with his own survival!
But now, after he escaped from the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, a beast god fang had serendipitously fallen from the sky right before him.
What would a beast god fang be like?
Probably not a single soul weapon, not even the Ten Malefic Weapons in the Valley of Sword could be its match.
"What a huge bone blade, with a hilt, it will be over 20 feet long."
Xin Huo leaped out from the copper lamp and praised the fang, "It must be really fun and comfortable to slash your foe with it!"
