Chapter 55: Demon Emperor’s Burial Mound
The few elders from Ling Xu sanctuary began to work on Pang Bo as one of the elder’s shot forth a red light that became a scarlet web, each strand was sparkling, translucent and was flashing with a fresh red glow, it was like a carnelian being refined as it flew towards Pang Bo, enveloping him.
The current Pang Bo was lifeless and had a dazed expression, only his pair of eyes were flickering with green rays of light. As he stretched out both hands, his gestures made him appear to be entrusted by the heavens as he raised his hands up to open up the large red web and tear it apart.
Another elder was emitting rays of purple light as he held a violet eight trigrams mirror in his hand and directed it towards Pang Bo, mists of purple could be seen, resplendent and dazzling as it shrouded Pang Bo, keeping him in place as the dense purple aura circulated.
“Shuaaa”
The red web successfully landed and trapped Pang Bo securely. Elder Wu Qing Feng stepped forward and his finger was like a sword as lights shot forth, divine energy sealed Pang Bo making him unable to move a single finger.
Ye Fan was most concerned about Pang Bo and seeing the few elders act in this way together with their expressions when doing so, he had a smiling expression as he let loose a sigh of relief. It seemed that things would be alright.
“Dong!”
An oppressive sound was once again transmitted from within the volcano and Ye Fan had long anticipated this as he executed the mystical arts recorded within the Dao Scripture. The golden coloured dot within his sea of bitterness immediately released wisps of divine light that flowed towards his heart, instantly making him feel more comfortable unlike the previous times where there was the acute pain.
Ye Fan carefully scrutinised and realised that the supreme birds and beasts could not help but tremble and even the ten odd elders from Ling Xu sanctuary shuddered, all affected by the sound. This made him surprised, having eaten the divine fruit and drinking from the divine spring really allowed one to shed their mortal body and exchange the bones. When comparing only their physiques, it seemed that he was not much worse off compared to the elders.
“Dong!”, “Dong!”, “Dong!”
Three successive sounds rang out in a very short interval, the lava within the volcano surged up as streaks of blazing light rushed towards the sky, night had seemingly turned to day.
The lava was gurgling as it flowed from the volcano, the bright and dazzling ancient palace floated upwards and released a strong aura of life.
Atop the volcano, the Ling Xu sect leader as well as the four grand elders released golden light that shrouded their bodies as they steadily advanced closer. On the other side, the great demons that had turned to human form also advanced, unafraid of the flowing lava as they stared unblinkingly at the ancient palace. Only when they were right before the opening of the volcano did their eyes sweep over to look at the few human cultivators.
Amongst them, the man whose arms were covered in scales shouted: “Humans, you are all simply too much! The primitive ruins have already been split into two and you people already have the Ling Xu immortal sanctuary, now you actually have the cheek to enter our territory to contest for the immortal depository, could it be that you want to create a conflict between us?”
Not far away, the huge man that had bull horns and was almost three metres tall shouted in a deep voice: “If you want to fight, go ahead and try taking a piece of the pie of this ancient palace!”
The sect leader of the Ling Xu sanctuary and the four grand elders were not afraid as one amongst them stood forth and said: “This piece of ruins is something inherited from our human ancestors, now that a precious treasure has emerged us coming here to look for an opportunity is well justified. What seems to be wrong about this?”
“This primitive ruins is precisely where we live in and we naturally cannot tolerate you coming here to steal our treasure!” The young woman with wings in place of hands and a head full of golden hair shouted: “If you people really want a piece of the pie, don’t blame us for being discourteous!”
“This area is an inheritance left behind by our human ancestors, the few of you have merely borrowed the area to stay in. How can you claim it as your territory?” The sect leader of Ling Xu sanctuary was unperturbed as he calmly spoke, but at the same time he exuded an intimidating and imposing presence.
“The last words left behind from my river dragon ancestors was that this place is not the native homeland of you humans, rather, it was the imperial capital of the demon race back in their golden age and has no connection to your people whatsoever.” The river dragon whose head had a solitary horn and claws under his belly spoke human words although he had not transformed into a human. His strength was clearly not weaker than the others but it is just that he was not adept at transforming from his beast form.
“Impossible, the constructions in this place have all the makings of the human race, how could it possibly have anything to do with the demon race?” A grand elder within the Ling Xu sanctuary questioned. Both sides bickered with neither giving an inch, it seemed they were all really interested in obtaining the ancient palace.
“Dong!”
The oppressive sound continued to resound from within the ancient palace and even the few great demons and the group with the Ling Xu sect elder seemed to be unable to bear it as their faces began to turn ugly.
