Chapter 647: Extraordinary
According to the “Great Qian Chronicles”, there is a Black Water Abyss in the southern region with a gravity far beyond the ordinary. Inside it, a demonic beast known as the Black Water Toad resides at the level of the Seven Calamity Cycles. Its entire body is pitch black, it is the size of a mountain, and with each drum-like croak, it can amplify gravity hundreds or thousands of times, flattening mountains of one hundred zhang in an instant.
Due to the powerful strength of this monster, and the fact that it lives in the Blackwater Pond all year round and does not harm the people, the Demon Slaying Department has always classified the Black Water Abyss as a forbidden zone. Few dare to even think of confronting the Black Water Toad.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even if the Twelve Divine Generals were to take action against the Black Water Toad, even if they were to emerge victorious, the battle would be far from easy.
However, at that very moment, the colossal head of that terrifying demonic beast appeared in front of Qin An and his companions!
Zhen Tianyi, as one of the Twelve Divine Generals, and Yu Mei, as one of the Thirty-six Stars, naturally possessed a keen sense of danger.
They could sense a terrifying aura deep within the mountains that sent chills down their spines.
The being responsible for killing the black frog was obviously the master of that terrifying aura!
Although Qin An wanted to speak up and ask something, he was silenced by a glance from Zhen Tianyi. After all, Zhen Tianyi had been patrolling the southern territory for so many years and had never encountered such a situation.
In the face of this terrifying presence, he seemed to lack the courage to confront it directly!
Not even the Southern Territory Commander could give him this feeling!“Hmm?” A deep, muffled voice echoed, and a massive hand emerged from the mountains and grabbed the Black Toad’s head.
The arm was covered in mud, making it indistinct, but on the hand were four huge fingers connected by black membranes, with no visible gaps between them.
The giant hand snatched back the Black Toad’s head, and in a matter of moments, the earth shook, accompanied by the incessant sound of crunching and chewing.
The expressions on Zhen Tianyi and Yu Mei’s faces turned extremely ugly. They had thought that this terrifying presence might be at the peak of the Eighth Calamity Cycle.
But the moment the opponent’s hand appeared, their hearts seemed to stop beating.
This power was clearly beyond the eighth level, it was the rumored realm of transcendence!
When had such a terrifying entity appeared in the southern region?
It should be noted that in the historical records of the Great Qian, only a few individuals were confirmed to have reached the Transcendence Realm, such as Cang Xuan of the Dragon Clan, Asura King, the Divine Guardian Yu Yi, and the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower!
Though there are often rumors of godlike beings in the world, they usually remain just that – rumors.
But now the legend stood before the trio.
No one knew what to expect.
Soon, the chewing stopped abruptly.
What seemed like a brief moment to Zhen Tianyi and his companions felt like an eternity of agony.
They were unsure if the colossal creature in the mountains had noticed their presence.
Until a pair of huge pupils gleamed, their gaze piercing towards them.
Thump!
Thump!
The heartbeat and breathing were so clearly audible.
Zhen Tianyi clenched the long knife in his hand and said through a message, “Hang on, I’ll do my best to delay them for you. Run as far as you can!”
He wanted to sacrifice himself to give them a small chance of survival.
But just then, the emptiness wavered, and a streak of white light streaked across the sky like a speeding meteor.
Its speed was too great, leaving a trail of remnants, each one shining like a star.
It was a seven-colored horned white deer, radiating a holy aura from head to toe.
When Zhen Tianyi saw it, his grip on the knife handle loosened slightly, and a deep sense of powerlessness washed over him.
Facing two beings from the transcendence realm, escaping had become a luxury!
“Lord of the Marsh, you have awakened,” the White Deer said in human words.
A deep voice answered, “How long has it been?”
“Five thousand years.”
“So much time has passed. With the opening of the Netherworld and the leakage of the aura of the gods and demons, this Heaven and Earth will eventually face a trial.”
“Which side will you support this time?” the White Deer asked.
A contemptuous snort echoed from the darkness. “I will support neither side. Whether the gods and demons descend or the fate of the human race, it does not matter to me.”
“If the human race perishes and the seal of Heaven and Earth is broken, it may be difficult for you to find a peaceful place to rest,” the White Deer remarked lightly.
Upon hearing this, the night fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, the Lord of the Marsh spoke again, his tone tinged with resignation and desolation.
“There is no escaping it, regardless of the Three Realms, regardless of who it is, be it the Ghost Lord or the Immortal King.”
“In the end, death is inevitable. It’s better to die peacefully.” The somber voice gradually faded, and the emptiness began to wriggle like a swamp.
Zhen Tianyi and his companions watched as a massive figure leapt high into the writhing void, its terrifying aura disappearing without a trace.
But what was even more terrifying was the conversation they had overheard. What kind of trial was this Heaven and Earth facing?
Why had such terrifying beings awakened in the world?
Without waiting for them to think too much, the three of them felt as if they were facing a great enemy just because the white deer was looking at them.
“Report today’s events to the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower in the Imperial City.”
“After waiting for a thousand years, we finally saw a change.”
“Could this be what you mean by ‘putting yourself in a desperate situation before coming out alive’…” The light words disappeared into the night along with the pure brilliance of the white stag.
Qin An looked at his master and Senior Yu Mei, both of whom looked solemn.
“Master…” Qin An hesitated to speak.
“It looks like we’ll have to part ways for a while.” Zhen Tianyi’s voice was deep. “To avoid any mishaps, I will personally inform the commander about today’s events. Yu Mei, take this boy to the Imperial City and make sure you meet with the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.”
“Understood.”
…
At the Heavenly Pool, Old Master Cang Xuan looked at the slightly bulging belly of his precious granddaughter reflected in the mirror, his long eyebrows fluttering, the wrinkles on his face seeming to pile up.
At that moment, a clan member rushed over to report, “Old Master, there’s a disturbance in Dragon Abyss.”
Cang Xuan frowned, but he quickly relaxed. After exchanging a few words with Cang Feilan on the other side of the mirror, he put the precious mirror away.
Then, his figure flashed and appeared in front of an ink-black abyss hanging in the sky – this was Dragon Abyss!
Dragon Abyss was huge, its length and width were unknown, and its end was impossible to see. A half-submerged large bronze coffin revealed a corner on the surface of the lake, emitting a terrifying fluctuation from within.
Boom!
Boom boom!
The bronze coffin trembled, causing shock waves to ripple through Dragon Abyss.
Cang Xuan murmured in a deep voice, “Ancestor…”
…
Two women were pregnant, and it had been some time since they had been looking for him. Qin Feng had also gone through his bachelor days again.
There was one person on the bed who should have been sound asleep at this late hour, but he was tossing and turning.
Although the night was stuffy, it wasn’t overly hot.
However, Qin Feng’s forehead was covered with a fine sweat.
In his dream, the environment was pitch black, but it suddenly brightened, blinding him.
The howling wind blew out, mixed with a foul smell, sometimes scorching like a furnace, sometimes freezing to the bone like the depths of winter.
In this alternation of ice and fire, in the fleeting space between day and night,
Qin Feng could only feel the gaze of someone staring at him intently…
