Chapter 420: Vanishing Sounds in the Darkness (2/2)
Elder of Discipline raised his head to look and saw blood raining down from above. It started with a drizzle before becoming heavier and heavier.
One of the twenty stars moving in the sky dimmed and wavered. Suddenly, it went out in a fierce collision, falling from the sky.
Daoist Ling Jing was dead.
Elder of Discpline's face dimmed. Only Heavenly Devil Patriarch was left. and he was still battling. Even if he was skilled in the Seven Writings of Creations in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures, it would be hard for him to change the outcome of the battle.
In the ruin, Elder of Discipline didn't raise his head to look at the battle in the sky anymore. Instead, he stared at the flames of the bonfire, subconsciously adding more firewood to it.
The flames grew taller and taller, and the intensity of the heat also grew, yet he couldn't feel anything at all.
”Why is this winter so cold…”
He shivered from the cold and added more firewood. ”What's wrong with this fire? No matter how fierce it is, it's still so cold. How is it still so cold when I added so much firewood…”
Another star dimmed in the sky, before bursting forth with light again. It was exceptionally gorgeous, lighting up the sky.
”A marvel of creation, the light and shade it dominates!”
A shout tore through the darkness, inspiring and shocking.
Dong.
The melodious sound of a bell came from the sky, rushing in all directions. It faded away soon after, and the marvel of creation ceased to exist.
The lights in the sky gradually dispersed, and the darkness slowly came back after the explosion.
A star had fallen.
Elder of Discipline buried his head in his hands and didn't say anything.
He was waiting for daybreak, to retrieve the corpses of the two old men.
In the sky, the eighteen stars paused for a moment before continuing to head east.
Great Ruins' God Broken Mountains were sharp as a blade, their peaks were covered in snow. In the sky, flood dragons were rushing toward them.
The wind was strong and blew their whiskers and mane backward.
Beside Qin Mu, Si Yunxiang was trying to use Heart Inspection Mirror to contact the young patriarch. Moments after, she fell into a daze. ”Patriarch said that he won't be coming back. He said that you guys don't need to miss him.”
Qin Mu was stunned, and Granny Si turned her face around to secretly wipe away her tears.
”That old guy actually left earlier than us.” Village Chief was stumped for words and could only sigh. ”He's as impatient as ever.”
They came closer and closer to God Broken Mountain Range, and their eyes went past, looking into Great Ruins that were shrouded in darkness.
Over there, they could see stars moving in the sky, rushing in their direction.
”Mu'er, stop on the mountain!” Village Chief suddenly ordered.
Qin Mu gave a command, and the flood dragons lowered their speed. They stretched their bodies while their bladelike claws clasped onto the mountain peaks to stop themselves. With their fluttering whiskers and strong bodies, they crushed numerous Mysterious Pearl Crossbows.
The snow was white while the mountains were black. The flood dragons, however, were of all colors, like white, black, red, and even sapphire blue. Their bodies shone with light which came from the natural rune markings of their race. They shone upon the snow, giving it a colorful hue.
”Let's have the battle here.” Village Chief looked around and asked, ”What do you guys think about this place?”
King Kun examined his surroundings and said, ”Very good, it's just a little cold.”
Tuxing Feng jumped down from a dragon's back and pulled his clothes tighter around himself. He muttered, ”This damned place is still so cold, being warm underground is still the best. Human Emperor Qin, if you go to the underground world of our Earth Travelers, your horizons will definitely expand.
”The whole underground world is covered in jade glass and thick crystals hanging from the ceiling. There are those with six and eight edges, all clustered together like brightly colored decorations. With the light from the magma reflecting off them, they are so pretty. There are also numerous plants that grow in the magma and taste amazing. They burn your throat like fine wine, but the taste lingers on—”
”Stop speaking.” The serpent on Xu Shengwu's shoulder gulped down its saliva. ”I'm getting hungry just from your descriptions.”
Tuxing Feng raised his head to look at the stars that were closing in, and he grabbed his sharp horn-shaped hammer while muttering, ”I wonder if I'll have the chance to return underground for another bite. Our underground world still has Flaming Fruit, which is born from the magnetic element force. That taste…”
Village Chief looked at Qin Mu and said, ”Mu'er, bring the dragons and your little wives down the mountain. You are not needed here anymore, just remember to collect the corpses tomorrow.”
Qin Mu nodded and called the dragons over. He then brought Si Yunxiang, Hu Ling'er, and Yan Jingjing down the mountain. In the sky, the stars were getting closer and closer.
”Are we just going to look at them fighting for Eternal Peace?” Si Yunxiang was not willing to just leave like that. ”What can we do? Can we really not do anything?”
”We can go to Great Ruins!” Qin Mu's gaze flickered. ”We can find Sun Ship and Moon Ship! But this darkness is blocking our path! However, we have a powerful bodyguard. Where's Surging River Dragon King?”
”Dragon King is here!”
Under God Broken Mountain Range, river water churned as a huge dragon rose from the darkness. Coiling himself, he lowered his huge head. ”What's Your Majesty's command?”
