"When that fellow from the Divine Sea Palace came the other day, upon seeing the appearance of the Mo Qilin, he could infer that we would definitely have it help us in the forbidden zone to unravel our seal.
Ancient Clans… After the era of myths, our freedom to move about has been sealed. The Divine Sea Palace is like this, and are we any different?
However, every kind of Heavenly Seal is also an unresolvable method.
The Divine Sea Palace cannot operate in places without spiritual energy.
As for us, we require the King’s blood…
Neither of these is even remotely possible.
Now, before even reaching the mythical era, these have all appeared. It seems the heavens are about to change!"
As Xiao Tianlong spoke his last words, he sighed and looked up at the vast sky.
"So, we're just going to watch?" Yun Hu looked down at his feet.
"Let’s go back and prepare. Once the seal barrier is broken, we will follow the King… and march across this land. I feel this might be our rebirth, or it could be our demise!"
Xiao Tianlong uttered this one sentence and vanished in a flash.
The remaining few people exchanged glances.
Excitement flickered in their eyes.
The seal barrier would be broken…
Following the King to conquer…
This was a hope buried deep in their bones, passed down through generations.
As for rebirth or demise, after being sealed for countless ages, who cared about that anymore?
Being able to leave this place was surely better than being trapped in a cage, right?
Swish, swish, swish…
Figures disappeared one by one.
Yun Hu and the Ling Mao remained until the end. They cast a deep gaze towards the peak of the South Pole.
…
At the same time, deeper within this forbidden land.
Beneath the earth, in the darkness, a pair of gray-white eyes suddenly opened.
"You've arrived?"
This figure stood up and looked up towards the ceiling, which was a dark cave.
Only a faint light penetrated.
Splash…
The sound of chains echoed from not far away.
A pair of blood-red eyes appeared.
"The one you were waiting for has arrived? And so has the one I was waiting for!
It seems we truly are fated. We have kept each other company here for over twenty years, and now they have come together!"
The one who opened his eyes first said nothing. As he approached the cave entrance, he stood in the faint light, revealing his appearance.
He was a man completely unclothed, his skin as smooth as sheep fat jade.
His entire face, except for the gray-white eyes which differed from normal humans, resembled…
Chu Tian exactly.
"I was originally one with him. Twenty years ago, my mother separated me and sent me here to be sealed. Is she recalling me now? But I am an individual. Does she think she can just reclaim me?
It’s good they’ve arrived. I will erase his consciousness and reclaim my physical body, then I can leave this place."
"Hmm?"
From another direction, those blood-red eyes also drew closer.
"You intend to resist? Haha...! Interesting!"
This fellow poked his head out, said this one sentence, then retracted it.
If Xiao Hei were here, he would undoubtedly be shocked. This was an old Qilin with a gray-white body!
Furthermore, the man who looked exactly like Chu Tian stood in place, gazing for a while.
After a few seconds, he pushed off the ground, his body moved, and he leaped out of the cave entrance.
Bang…
But just as he was about to burst out of the cave, an invisible force appeared.
A rumbling sound shook the space.
His body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the hard ground beneath the earth.
"Damn it… Damn it… Why is Mother so biased!"
That fellow got up, roared to the sky.
"Sigh…"
A sigh came from the depths of the cave.
"Why are you sighing? Aren't you also confined here, filled with resentment? Otherwise, why would you have enlightened my consciousness?"
The white-eyed Chu Tian turned and glared into the depths of the cave, the direction from which the old Qilin had disappeared.
"I was merely bored…"
The ancient voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"Bored? Just bored?"
The white-eyed Chu Tian became even angrier.
Before the old Qilin could say more, he was interrupted and thus remained silent.
The underground cave fell silent.
…
Chu Tian and Xiao Hei had traveled several hundred meters.
A clear boundary line appeared.
Behind them was a stretch of desolate sand.
In front of them was a mountainous terrain.
The two stood at the boundary line.
"Shall we go?" Chu Tian gazed forward, towards a call whose distance was yet unknown.
"En!" Xiao Hei nodded.
He took a step forward at the same time as Chu Tian.
When their feet stepped across the boundary line,
and landed on the mountain rocks.
Xiao Hei shivered twice again.
And Chu Tian felt as if something had been stolen from him.
"What the hell!"
Xiao Hei jumped up in fright, looking down at his feet.
"Could this rock also be some kind of worm?"
When they had first entered the desert.
He had experienced a similar chilling sensation that made him tremble twice.
He had initially thought it was because the entire desert was filled with those disgusting worm eggs.
That was why he had felt that way.
He hadn't thought about it further.
After arriving here, that feeling reappeared.
However, it only lasted for a moment and disappeared in the next second.
"It's the rocks!"
Chu Tian shook his head.
It wasn't because of stepping on endless worm eggs beneath his feet.
Or stepping on some demonic beast.
Why would he feel this way?
A question arose in Chu Tian's mind!
Meanwhile, Xiao Hei looked up at the small mountain before them.
"Boss, do you think we might be on some kind of demonic beast right now?"
Hearing this, Chu Tian was also startled.
He looked around.
"That shouldn't be the case! If this thing were a demonic beast, how large would its body be?"
The mountain peak before them wasn't tall, but it stretched left and right,
extending as far as the eye could see.
"No… Boss, think about it, what if it's not wide… but long?"
As Xiao Hei said this, he felt his hairs stand on end. His face turned pale, looking extremely unwell.
Chu Tian looked him up and down.
"Little Hei, you're not scared of…"
"Stop… I'm not scared, I'm just… disgusted!"
Xiao Hei struggled to find the right words, finally describing the fear in his heart.
"Hahaha…"
Seeing his appearance, Chu Tian burst out laughing.
This guy was afraid of snakes.
Rumble…
Just as Chu Tian was laughing.
Suddenly, the mountain peak before them began to shake!
Chu Tian immediately stopped laughing.
But the next moment, he widened his eyes in shock.
"My God, Xiao Hei, you jinx!"
The mountain peak began to roll and move.
Clearly, it was a living creature.
Countless rocks tumbled down,
as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
Massive boulders, each weighing ten thousand jin,
rained down upon the two of them.
This wasn't the most terrifying part.
What was terrifying was that the thing moving beneath the rocks emitted a hissing sound.
"Snake… Oh my god!"
Xiao Hei's face turned even paler.
He didn't know why he feared snakes so much.
"Boss, hurry! Before its tongue coils around us, let's run!"
At this moment, Xiao Hei instantly transformed into his true form.
Chu Tian also quickly flew to the top of his head.
Chu Tian saw that this snake was coiled in a circular shape.
It was impossible to tell how long it was.
But looking at its thick body,
one could imagine it was an enormous python.
