Chapter 135 - The God’s Treasure (1/2)

He's going after Brother Long Yue!

Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei's brows fluctuated violently as they stared at Li Jun's back. Hu Qimei gritted her teeth and said, "I have a strong urge to stab this brat from the back and pierce a hole in his heart!"

Yu Xuanji shook his head and lamented, "Once he gets out there, he'll be the Saint City Lord's closed door disciple and cultivate under his guidance, soaring the nine skies thereafter. It's impossible for us to ever catch up to him. In truth, we are just here to accompany the prince in his study trip, what a pity so many experts died…."

Hu Qimei's heart was also soaked in bitterness, "After we get out, we'll spread the word and reveal to the world all of his sinister acts and machinations, to crush and trample on his reputation!"

"That is, if the other monsters believe our words."

Yu Xuanji shook his head and said, "We are merely just two wretched losers, petty bugs. Whereas the Heaven Monster Li Jun is the strongest expert of saint city. His reputation in the saint city is simply beyond reproach, his influence is high and he is favored by countless monsters. His words would undoubtedly be placed above our own."

Hu Qimei also thought of the reputation the Heaven Monster Li Jun held in the monster race, and her heart began to be engulfed in powerlessness.

The Heaven Monster Li Jun's reputation was flawless, his looks and his temperament as perceived by the world was impeccable – generous, kind and charitable. He also enjoyed a vast circle of acquaintances. Every one of his appearances in the saint city would incite a clamor of adulation, and innumerable monsters of all ages or identity would erupt in a furor to cheer for his name in fanaticism.

Even the Saint City Lord himself would not incite such a commotion. The air the Saint City Lord brings was majestic and dignified, stern and dominant; the other disciples of the Saint City Lord were nowhere close to being able to give rise to any sort of remotely comparable scene as Li Jun would.

And most importantly, he was the disciple of the Saint City Lord. If the Saint City Lord also corroborated his statements, who would ever dare to play the contrarian?

Furthermore, even if the Saint City Lord knew that he killed Zhong Yue, how seriously would he be punished over a dead man?

The two of them were lost in their anxiety, and all of a sudden, the pontoon and platforms shook violently. The monster god Ming King palace was also quaking vigorously. Then, the roof tiles, brims, walls, stones, and pillars all flew into the air!

Heaven Monster Li Jun's face changed drastically, he stopped his steps, tensed his muscles and stood still in preparedness. Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei didn't dare move at all either. They leaned down onto the grounds of the platform. Suddenly, the sky spun and the earth goes round —zheng zheng zheng— the pontoons collapsed on their own while the platforms clashed and merged with each other.

All of a sudden, the pontoons, platforms, and the monster god Ming King palace vanished. And they were sent back to the same spot they were once at, facing a huge palace with the hundred and eight steps stone stairway in front of them.

The palace was returned back to its original state, exactly like how it was as before.

"Could it be that Long Yue has touched and triggered something, causing the palace to return to its original state?"

Heaven Monster Li Jun locked his brows, he strode into the palace and as he started to move, his gait increased faster and faster, but no matter how many steps he took, he was always a step away from the palace entrance. Ultimately, it was as if he had never moved in the first place!

Cold sweat rushed out of his forehead, suddenly, his speed broke through the sound barrier to continue bolting forwards. Regardlessly how immense his speed was, he always remained a single step away from the palace!

Heaven Monster Li Jun released a furious bellow at his inability to enter the palace. It was only a few moments later, where he finally stopped and calmed down before turning around to leave.

"So this is forcing me to kill you outside?"

He mumbled lowly as he quickly walked down the stairway, "Good, then I shall kill you in the saint city!"

"This is … a mini teleportation portal?"

Zhong Yue walked down the stairs, it was a half mile journey before a little stone platform suddenly appeared into his eyes. The stone platform was surrounded by stone pillars, the carvings they carried on their surfaces were nearly identical to the ones on Xin Huo's teleportation array formations!

Xin Huo was surprised, he flew out and said, "This is really a teleportation portal, but way smaller than the ones I placed. This one, it can only teleport one a few miles away at most."

"A few miles of distance, then that'll bring me deep underneath the Black Mountain? The treasure that the monster god Ming King was tasked to guard by the monster emperor ... could it be in the underground of the Black Mountain?"

Zhong Yue's heart thumped and he walked into the teleportation array formation. The stone pillars started to buzz lowly, and all of a sudden, the totem carvings on the pillars gleamed brightly and formed a curtain of light —Wongg— the light rays then converged into a door at the middle of the array formation. Vaguely, he could still see that another door was forming beyond the one in front of him, linking the two doors together like the ends of a vestibule.

Zhong Yue exclaimed in curiosity, he walked into the door and strode towards the one on the other end.

He took two or three steps, walking through the other door to arrive at a space that was not the marvelous-looking underground world anymore.

Zhong Yue measured the surroundings — the sky was round and the earth was flat. It was as if he was placed in an upended pot. On the ground was a quadrangle altar that was around a thousand feet long and the sky was also a thousand feet high.

Around the altar was a vast expanse of space, Zhong Yue lowered his sights and looked down. Beneath the altar was a gigantic big round ball, one that was fully engraved with totem patterns, and there was a transparent tube that linked the two together.

While below the big ball, was a huge and grandiloquent dome that resembled the sky itself. A dome that was purely formed by the god-level totem patterns!

Zhong Yue looked further down, through the transparent dome, and vaguely he could vaguely see the scenery beneath it.

"DEVIL SOUL FORBIDDEN LAND!"
