Chapter 251: Sovereign Appears
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
Onom onom.
The space between heaven and earth was overshadowed with darkness as the natural Spiritual Aura of the land turned chaotic. A faint mist began curling up from the earth due to all the Spiritual Aura gathering towards this place.
Everyone noticed the sudden changes and took in the details of the scene, quietly preparing for battle. This was the resting place of a Sovereign; it was best to remain cautious. With their strength, they were only qualified to wander around the White Dragon Hillock; if they ever met a genuine Sovereign, they would be weaker than an ant.
Even though there was no longer a Sovereign here, all they needed was some of his legacy treasures to turn it into a life-threatening situation.
Mu Chen and his companions were also on their guard as they stared into the black basin. The colossal black pillars were beginning to give off light, bit by bit.
As the light grew stronger, they could barely make out a pattern on the surface of the black pillars. A light pattern that seemed alive and wiggling.
Shuuuu!
As the patterns thrashed, the intensity of the light suddenly exploded. The rays raced out from the basin, interweaving and blanketing the basin in thick layers of light.
Rumble!
It sounded like thunder. The natural Spiritual Energy surged and rushed towards the center of the basin in a torrent. Everyone’s expressions turned grim, though none of them rashly charged in; they knew that they’d only be crushed to death by the violent surges of Spiritual Energy.
Su Xuan turned her face towards the basin and frowned. “The black basin has been covered.” Up ahead, the light was slowly spreading out, until it’d become a solid screen several thousand feet in diameter and blocked their view of the basin.
Mu Chen frowned at the frightening Spiritual Energy rippling from the screen. “This must have been left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign to keep prying eyes away from the place where he fell.” This wasn’t something he could break. If he tried to force it, he might incur a counter-strike, and he’d be as good as dead.
Guo Xiong smiled bitterly. “This Sovereign Spirit Treasury really isn’t easy to reach.” They’d already endured so much difficulty to reach this place; they hadn’t imagined this light screen to be yet another obstacle in their path.
“Let’s study the situation first,” said Mu Chen. Su Xuan and the rest nodded in agreement. Right now, the best they could do was observe the changes.
The other experts’ faces also turned ugly when they sensed the light screen. How were they supposed to reach the Sovereign Spirit Treasury with this light screen in place?
Numerous pairs exchanged looks and the area grew extremely silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a courageous bark sounded from a skinny, middle-aged man in the crowd. “Hey, everyone! Let’s work together to destroy this light screen. Even though this probably belongs to the White Dragon Sovereign, it’s still several hundred years old, at least. Plus, there’s no one controlling it. With so many of us here, it’s possible for us to destroy it!”
His announcement attracted quite a few nods and verbal agreements from the others. After all, the light screen wasn’t going to disappear on its own.
The concurring voices increased in volume as more and more people demonstrated their willingness to cooperate.
“Good, we’ll act together!”
Tens of thousands of bodies rose into the sky, creating a surge of Spiritual Energy in a majestic scene.
Su Ling’er was eager, as she asked, “Are we going to help out, too?” She was fond of lively events, and the prospect of tens of thousands of people acting together was getting her excited.
Mu Chen helplessly shook his head. Su Xuan also glared at Su Ling’er and said, “Stop being rash. This light screen was left behind by the White Dragon Sovereign to protect the treasures that he left behind. Destroying it with only this many people is nothing but a dream. Those guys don’t know how powerful a genuine Sovereign is. There are probably a few among them who know, but they’re still just fanning the flames.
Su Ling’er pouted at Su Xuan’s lecture, but she did quiet down. She understood that she shouldn’t be rash in these situations.
Mu Chen nudged them to look in another direction, where Bai Xuan and his soldiers were looking around with frigid expressions. Bai Dong wore a ridiculing smile as he mocked the experts who were clearly overestimating themselves. “Look at those guys from White Dragon City. They’re waiting to watch a good show.”
“Watch out for them. If they’re really from the Demonic Dragon Palace, then they’ve probably already prepared something.” A dark light flashed through Su Xuan’s eyes as she continued, “When he was alive, the White Dragon Sovereign was also from the Demonic Dragon Palace. But for some unknown reason, he betrayed the Demonic Dragon Palace. The Demonic Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses while pursuing him. That was the chance our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was waiting for, so that they could eliminate them with just a single move.”
Mu Chen lightly nodded in understanding. Bai Xuan and his experts weren’t very surprised by the appearance of this light screen; they already expected it.
Shuuuu! Shhhhhu!
As Mu Chen and his allies conversed, the tens of thousands of experts had already finished gathering their Spiritual Energy into one. In the next instant, they fired it with an earth-shattering cry. Even the heavens and earth trembled as the tens of thousands of separate Spiritual Energies streaked across the sky and continuously rained down on the powerful light screen. The sheer volume of their attacks filled the entire black basin with a monumental air.
Mu Chen fixed his eyes on the scene. Even a Heavenly Completion Stage expert would try to avoid having tens of thousands of people bombard them. He wondered whether the White Dragon Sovereign’s light screen would withstand such a bombardment.
Rumble!
Tens of thousands of attacks hammered down, and the light screen suddenly fluctuated and rippled. Rays of light began gathering at the screen’s middle, before they slowly took on the fuzzy shape of a human figure.
The light slowly died as the figure appeared — a handsome youth, white-robed and slender with his long hair draped around his shoulders. However, there was no black in his milky-white eyes. An extremely odd detail.
The white-robed figure was quietly seated over his screen of light. A few stray lines of light circled around him, like a roaring white dragon.
With the appearance of this white-robed spirit came an indescribable movement in the natural Spiritual Energy. One filled with palatial might.
Even the heavens and earth seemed to tremble under the pressure of his aura.
