Chapter 465: The Cursed World
“HAHAHAHA…………” Li Shang laugher grew more and more hysterical. He was releasing a terrifyingly powerful Qi which shook the heavens, if Lin Feng was able to see this scene, he would know that they would never have escaped from Li Shang if he didn’t allow it. Li Shan’s power could bring Lin Feng to his knees, unable to move or breathe in Li Shang’s presence.
The ground as far as the eye could see was shaking because of Li Shang’s hysterical laughter. His Qi was flowing in all directions, it tore through the sky and ripped apart the earth. Shortly after, the ground burst open forming a large valley beneath his feet, shortly after, Li Shang’s silhouette rose into the air. His black cloak was violently fluttering inside the hurricane.
“Ka, kacha!” The valley was being forced open by a powerful force which seemed to be shifting the entire earth, an extremely powerful fire energy was rising from beneath the valley. Soon, the valley was filled with bright red flames.
It was magma!
The terrifying magma started to overflow from the valley and spread across the desert. The entire desert seemed like it had vanished, only flames from the magma remained where the sand used to be. Besides, the magma continued to rise into the air, it shot into the sky like an erupting volcano. It was terrifying!
Li Shang finally stopped laughing and looked towards the terrifying magma as it rose into the sky. He looked happy and carefree.
“Li Shang!” Shouted a husky voice from inside the magma. Then, a pair of eyes suddenly opened on the surface of the magma. As the magma rose into the air, it slowly started to take the form of a gigantic beast, more precisely a fire wolf. It was a gigantic fire wolf!
“Fire King, what brings you out?” Said Li Shang while looking at the terrifying fire wolf as if he was greeting an old friend.
“Li Shang, what’s wrong with you? Why are you laughing so loudly? What could possibly make you so happy?” Asked the Fire King. Its voice caused the atmosphere to tremble.
“Didn’t you see it? You probably knew about that exit a long time ago!” Said Li Shang.
“I know of it, but that exit will not work for you. So why are you laughing here like a fool?!” Said Fire King indifferently… He had lived here since ancient times, how could he not know about the exit to Xue Yue?
“Well, I gave him an extremely precious gift to take outside with him!” Said Li Shang while looking at the sky and taking a deep breath. Immediately after, the clouds in the sky started to swirl and a huge hurricane formed around Li Shang.
“BOOOOOOM!” Li Shang unleashed a terrifying energy from his fist which crashed through the air causing a thunderous boom.
“BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!” Li Shang continued to violently attack the same area, trying to force the door to appear for him.
“This bloody world is a cursed world, I, Li Shang, will find a way to leave!”
The earth was violently shaking and the heavens seemed like they would collapse at any moment.
“Being powerful is a burden! The more you know about this world, the more it drives you insane. If you’re like other people, you will never understand what kind of world this is… But, you have already found out the truth of the world we live in… But I can tell you that what prevents us from leaving is not a seal, and this world is not cursed. This is a normal world just like any other!” Sighed the fire king. Its voice had grown ancient and weary. He was much older than Li Shang, the gap in age was tremendous. It was born at the very centre of the world. Over the years it eventually formed its own intelligence. It had a vast and broad knowledge which spanned over millennia. The fire wolf was well aware of the limits of this world, they were unable to break the boundary of that world and escape their cage, but there were paths to the outside which allowed people to enter. Therefore, the wolf knew that Li Shang’s dream of leaving would remain just that.
“What about you? What are your plans?” Asked Li Shang towards the Fire King.
“All I want to do now is attack Tianya Haige and slowly gain control over this world. If I manage to conquer the world, I would have no reason to leave it behind.” Said Fire King slowly.
“I wish you success and I hope you’ll be able to achieve your dream in the future.” Said Li Shang while smiling. His body was then consumed by light and he immediately disappeared from sight with incredible speed. The Fire King was just looking at Li Shang’s figure in the distance, then slowly moved back into the magma. Very quickly, the desert returned to its original state as if nothing had occurred.
…………
After having escaped from the desert, Meng Qing and Lin Feng appeared in front of the ancient tree. They felt refreshed breathing in the cool air of the Lovesick Forest. They felt like it had been a lifetime since they had felt such refreshing air.
