Chapter 252 (2/2)
The roars of dragons resonated through the skies as the black and white dragon flew in unison, colliding again and again in ferocious strikes. Thunder roared and the heavens and earth trembled as though wrought under a violent gale.
Mu Chen and the rest watched the frightening confrontation occurring up in the skies. Even from such a distance, the Spiritual Energy impact still made them tremble a little.
Furthermore, the two of them were only wisps of the two Sovereigns. If they’d been fighting with their main vessels, the entire sky would probably shatter.
“The light screen has weakened a little.” Su Xuan suddenly said.
Mu Chen and the few others immediately looked over and confirmed that as the battle in the sky intensified, the originally powerful light screen that covered the black basin was starting to ripple. Its originally brilliant glow had also dulled a little.
“The White Dragon Sovereign has died, after all. His strength is limited. Furthermore, he’s fighting the Black Dragon Sovereign’s Clone, so he’s definitely exhausting a lot of energy. That’s why the light screen is rapidly weakening,” Mu Chen clarified.
Su Xuan also nodded. “It might not be long before the light screen becomes weak enough for us to pass through.”
“Everyone must be cautious while collecting treasures. White Dragon City is extremely well-prepared and they’re glaring like tigers. They’re definitely the strongest contestor out there.”
Mu Chen smiled when he heard that and swept his eyes around the basin. “Even still, their very strength may get in their own way; some of the other forces are likely to take precautions by allying to deal with them. Who knows if we could take that chance to collect the treasures?”
“We’ll see how it goes. If we can’t get any treasures, then we’ll retreat first. Our lives are the priority.” Su Xuan said lightly.
Mu Chen and the others nodded. Treasures were great, but lives were still more important.
The other forces had also sensed the changes to the light screen and their expressions immediately heated up. The terrifying White Dragon Sovereign was currently occupied. From here, the only thing that mattered in winning treasures was their personal abilities.
Even though many were still shocked by the secret nature of White Dragon City, Bai Xuan and his experts weren’t actually enough to make them fear. And even though the Demonic Dragon Palace was powerful, they and the Northern Heavens Academy were like fire and water; the Demonic Dragon Palace wouldn’t do anything rash.
“Get ready to act.”
Bai Xuan closely scrutinised the powerful light screen fluctuating with ripples and said with a low voice, “We’ll kill all those who dare to get in our way.”
“Yes!”
A ferocity flashed through the greyed-robed elder when he heard Bai Xuan’s orders.
Bai Dong’s cold eyes glanced in Mu Chen’s direction. He’d wait until they entered the black basin. If there was an opportunity, he definitely wasn’t going to let that kid go!
Countless numbers of experts quietly waited around the black basin, barely restraining the excitement in their hearts. The skies above them rolled with clouds as the black and white dragons tore at each other. Frightening Spiritual Energies rippled through the heavens and earth.
This wait lasted for more than ten minutes before the powerful light screen lost the stability it once possessed and took on an illusionary quality, as though it was on the verge of collapsing.
Everyone’s eyes boiled at the same instant. It was about time.
“Go!”
Bai Xuan took the lead with a wave of his hand. With his White Dragon City experts in tow, he flashed out like lightning towards the screen. While they were still some distance away, Bia Xuan threw out his fist.
Boom!
Spiritual Energy surged. The White Dragon City experts towards the back barked lowly as the black spears in their hands shot forward like gusts of strong wind, bombarding the light screen until it was on the verge of collapsing.
Dong!
Even more ripples moved over the light screen as it turned even more translucent. Several breaths later, a series of cracks began spreading over its surface.
Rustle!
When Bai Xuan and his group saw the crack, they moved and charged in.
Every other force followed when they saw White Dragon City’s group charge in. A gale broke out as everyone tore a hole in a different place of the light screen. Together, they charged endlessly into the black basin.
“Let’s go!”
Su Xuan raised her jade hands and took the initiative. Mu Chen and the rest quickly followed.
When they reached before the light screen, they joined powers to tear their own crack in its surface, revealing the pitch-black basin on the other side. The darkness there gaped like a massive, hungry maw, devouring the endless river of people.
“Be cautious,” Su Xuan reminded as she charged into the crack. Li Qing, Guo Xiong, and Su Ling’er quietly circulated their Spiritual Energies to protect their bodies before following.
Mu Chen peered into the darkness behind the crack and a smear of curiosity flashed through his pupils. The supreme treasure that the two Sovereigns had been speaking of should be in here. Except he didn’t know…
What sort of treasure was it?
An intense curiosity rose in Mu Chen’s heart. Then, he smiled and stepped into the darkness on the other side of the rift.
