Chapter 376: Chapter 292: The Thunder Emperor’s Legacy (First Update) (Revised)_2
The Great Demon God seemed slightly taken aback, pure blood beast meat and monkey wine… These were indeed delicacies that were hard to come by, each of them incredibly precious and not easily obtained, even in the upper realms.
Let’s not mention monkey wine for the moment, just the pure blood beast meat alone was extraordinarily hard to find. After all, pure blood creatures are unlike the species of the Ancient Times, the former possesses an esteemed bloodline; each of them has the potential to become a primordial creature.
“Rest assured, there will be plenty to go around at that time!” Tu Wa Zi nodded his head.
The two things that their village never ran out of were just these, stashing a whole mountain cave full of them. Even the newcomers who recently joined their village had the opportunity to have a share.
Having said that, he suddenly turned his head to look at the young man beside Little Dot. He found him very strange, and equally unfamiliar.
“Little Dot, is this a new friend you’ve made?” Tu Wa Zi asked.
“This is my grandfather, Shi Zhong Tian.”
“He’s your grandfather? But he looks so young!” Tu Wa Zi was somewhat taken aback. This person in front of him seemed at most to be in his twenties, with hair as black as raven’s feathers draped across his shoulders. Could it be possible for him to be a grandfather at this age?
Is he too conservative, or is this world just too crazy?
“I’m just a humble old man who was lucky enough to have regained my youth. In reality, I’m already in my seventies!” Shi Zhong Tian laughed heartily.
He had a grand personality. Although he had advanced in years, he still possessed a jovial, childlike spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chased by the adult Pixiu into the Dark Forest for thirteen years after hunting a Pixiu cub. As a result, he quickly hit it off with Tu Wa Zi.
“So that’s how it is, I apologize for my disrespect upon our first meeting!” Tu Wa Zi hastily said, being genuinely sincere.
In the meantime, Lin Zhuang and others were drawn in by Tu Wa Zi’s actions and walked over.
Tu Wa Zi did not beat around the bush and immediately introduced Shi Hao and Shi Zhong Tian to Lin Zhuang Lin Chen and others.
“So you’re Young Master Shi. Your ability to disguise is truly astonishing! If it hadn’t been for Tu Wa Zi’s introduction, we wouldn’t have recognized you. Not only did your appearance change, even your voice, height, weight and so on underwent changes!”
Lin Zhuang Lin Chen and others marveled. Had it not been for Tu Wa Zi noticing something odd, they wouldn’t have been able to detect it, even if Shi Hao was swaying in front of their eyes.
The technique of disguise is regarded as a rare form of Divine Skill, especially for Little Rock, who seemed to have mastered it more deeply.
As for Shi Zhong Tian, even though he was Little Dot’s grandfather, they were not familiar with him, so they merely nodded at each other in a sign of friendliness.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of Tu Wa Zi, several of them decided to travel together.
The decision was based on their previous experiences.
Tu Wa Zi always felt that staying close to Little Dot would significantly increase his chances of obtaining good things. Nine out of ten times, this proved to be accurate, something he had personally experienced before.
Little Dot did not refuse and readily agreed.
Along the way, the group chatted and laughed heartily. After all, they were all old acquaintances; once the floodgates were opened, there was much to talk about.
This scene left the observing creatures around them astonished.
Let’s not bring up Lin Zhuang and Tu Wa Zi for now. They had seen Little Dot and Shi Zhong Tian take action before; they were formidable individuals, fearlessly facing thousands of enemies. Especially just now, the two of them effortlessly slew two primordial creatures.
“They know each other?”
The surrounding onlookers were written all over with shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
They originally thought that a collision between top talents would happen, which would provide a good show for them. However, they never expected that these individuals not only knew each other, but also their expressions and tones suggested that they were a team.
This was the most terrifying part.
Such powerful talents, when gathered, would certainly possess strength beyond any creature’s imagination, enough to sweep across this secret realm.
Moreover, someone recognized Little Dot.
“Is this young man actually Huang?”
The crowd was astonished.
Huang, who had only recently made his name known, left his mark under an ancient stele. Although he didn’t achieve results as exaggerated as Lin Hai, suppressing all creatures, it was still enough to shake the world. After all, even Immortal Supreme Qin Chang Sheng of Immortal Mountain ranked below him.
Somehow, a strange notion arose in everyone’s minds.
These top-notch prodigies seemed to enjoy comparing themselves to Immortal Supreme.
Has the Immortal Supreme done something to incur their wrath in recent times?
The creatures pondered amongst themselves.
“Which hermit’s immortal Dao does this belong to, there are so many prodigies!”
Even more people expressed their heartfelt astonishment, their eyes red with envy; they subconsciously thought that Little Dot and Lin Zhuang were from the same Taoist Orthodoxy but had entered the Secret Realm separately and were now finally reunited.
If these prodigies all belong to the same Taoist Orthodoxy, then the last term is likely to witness a significant change, because the number is truly vast, and each is extraordinarily exceptional.
Be it Huang, or Wu, both of them are considered top prodigies throughout history.
At the rear mountain of Liu Village, atop the mountain ranges.
Seeing the sudden union of two teams, Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised as he didn’t predict this scene.
He suddenly wanted to give Tu Wa Zi a big thumbs up. He was worth his salt indeed. Despite Little Dot’s convincing disguise, he had sensed something was amiss. Could this be a case of mutual restraint ordained by destiny?
Jiang Hui’s heart was filled with amusement. While he was deep in thought, Lin Zhuang, Little Dot and others had already stepped onto the single-log bridge and were heading deeper.
The group kept moving forward. Apart from the Mingzi and the Purple-Gold True Leonopteryx that Little Dot encountered when they first stepped onto the single-log bridge, their journey was peaceful, with not a single reckless creature daring to challenge them.
Before long, they reached nine majestic mountains.
The grand mountain ranges were overwhelmingly tall, like giants propping up the sky. Bathed in an aura of purple, they exuded an ancient mysteriousness.
“We have arrived. This should be the place of inheritance!” said one creature, his eyes ablaze.
This place was the Supreme Secret Realm, a supreme level of inheritance, which were hard to encounter but coveted by all. Even if they didn’t get all the opportunities, getting a fraction of it was enough for them to significantly enhance their powers, or even defy fate and turn the tide.
Most importantly, rumors said that a unimaginable inheritance was hidden in the Yuan Heavenly Supreme Secret Realm, even more precious than the Secret Realm itself. It was a genuinely immortal opportunity. As long as someone was destined, they could compete for it.
Therefore, every time the Yuan Heavenly Secret Realm opened, all the immortal Daoists sent their the most talented prodigies or hidden geniuses into it, in search of this legendary opportunity.
Before the nine colossal mountains, many outstanding individuals were engaged in fierce competition. Many of them were wounded, their bodies stained with blood. However, their gaze was fixed at the front.
Not far ahead of them.
Two massive figures blocked everyone’s path.
A tens-of-meters-long purple gold centipede, its body emanating a metallic aura, and a pair of antennas as sharp as blades, capable of cutting through any mountain range that spanned hundreds of miles.
The other was a body enshrouded in darkness, a black crow as big as a few dozen zhang, its body surrounded by a scorching aura streaking out, it was terrifying to behold.
Both of these creatures were indigenous life forms of the ruins. They were usually incompatible like fire and water but today, they had set aside their differences and stood united against a common enemy.
Both of these ferocious beasts were formidable, especially the leading Beast Kings who had ignited the Divine Flame. The pressure was intense, causing many prodigies to frown and feel a great amount of pressure.
Although everyone present was a top-notch prodigy with high spirits, even the strongest among them was still only at the Perfection stage of the Noble Realm. To challenge those in the Godfire Realm was a leap of a great boundary; it was simply wishful thinking. Apart from the prodigies and geniuses of that era, they couldn’t possibly pull it off.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
“Roar, roar, roar!”
At this moment, shrill roars echoed throughout the clear sky.
The two Beast Kings had been watching the prodigies who ventured into this territory for a while, preparing to launch an attack.
To them, the flesh and blood of these prodigies were precious, nourishing substances.
“Buzz…”
Instantly, from the shadows of the nine mountains, a large group of purple gold centipedes and black crows rushed out densely, like a torrent gushing out.
This smaller size purple-gold centipede and black crow were offsprings of the two Beast Kings. After countless years of reproduction in the Secret Realm, they had reached a terrifying number. In just an instant, they completely surrounded the prodigies present.
