After the iceberg melted, charred bird carcasses were completely exposed.
Who could have imagined that a tiny bird, dead for countless years, would erupt with flames from within its own corpse.
"Sizzle." Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?
The flames burned brighter and brighter, releasing a heat that even the icy caverns felt.
On the stone bridge, Zhang Ruchen, Qi Sheng and others who were fighting all stopped, staring at the cage suspended in mid-air with astonishment.
What's going on? What just happened?
"How do I feel a faint power fluctuation coming from the carcass of the bird?"
"Impossible! It's been dead for tens of thousands of years, how could it still not be completely gone?"
"All the beings imprisoned here are absolutely notorious fiends, none of them are simple characters. If even one escapes, the entire Kunlun Realm will be thrown into chaos."
??? Huo not only possesses powerful mental strength but also has the ability to foresee dangers that may occur in the future to a certain extent.
Right now, her face is a bit solemn. She reminds us, “Leave this place quickly, or we will die without a burial ground.”
Qi Sheng and Mo Tianzi knew that Huoxing's perception was very accurate, so they didn't dare to stay in the ice cave any longer. They glanced at Zhang Ruochin standing on the top of the stone pillar by the bridge, but ultimately decided not to attack him further.
The two of them, along with Huì, surged out from the stone bridge and began to climb the icy wall.
Zhang Ruchen also sensed an extremely dangerous aura, so he didn't try to intercept them. Instead, he met up with Qingmo, grabbed her wrist, and fled rapidly towards the outside of the ice cave.
Below, flames surged from the bird's corpse, engulfing the entire cage. Around the cage, space itself seemed to distort slightly.
"Ah!"
Then, from within the flames, a shrill cry rang out.
The holy beings in the ice cave, including Zhang Ruochen, all felt a piercing pain in their skulls, as if they had been stabbed by needles. Their vision went black.
Suddenly, blood flowed into his ears.
All sacred beings briefly lose consciousness and fall.
Qing Mo, as a plant-like being, wasn't too affected. She just went slightly dazed before quickly snapping back to reality.
She grabbed Zhang Ruichen's wrist with her backhand. Her other hand transformed into five vines, striking the ice wall and creating five holes, suspending both of them in mid-air.
<<>>
Zhang Ruochin took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, turned around, and glanced at the cage suspended below. "What terrifying sound waves, has it truly awakened?"
The entire cage transformed into a massive fireball, releasing heat that caused the ice walls of the glacial cavern to melt slowly.
A palm-sized bird corpse, making a "crackling" sound, broke open its black shell and grew out vibrant, dazzling feathers. This scene before our eyes, much like a duckling transforming into a swan, is truly astonishing.
The crimson feathers, each one glistening and translucent, seemed to be crafted from some kind of jade.
When the sages on the stone bridge awoke, they saw this scene before them and were astonished beyond belief.
Could it be...? It actually came back to life?!
A shocking expression flashed across the ???'s eyes, and he stammered, "That…that's...the legendary Phoenix?"
As the Goddess of the Undying Temple, Huo Yue could be considered erudite. She once saw a record about the Phoenix in an ancient tome, which included both text and illustrations.
Inside the cage, the bird blazing with flames looked very much like a phoenix.
"Bang bang." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A blazing red bird, furiously rammed against the cage, trying to break free.
The iron chains that bound the cage were covered in a layer of rust that had crumbled open, revealing a violet-blue pattern of lightning veins. Dozens of bolts of electricity surged from it, striking the crimson-colored bird.
Then, the stone bridge shook violently.
On the bridge surface, ancient dragon scripts emerged one after another, like a heavenly scripture.
"The Dragon Clan really did leave some means behind, able to suppress the ferocious beasts imprisoned here. To prevent any anomalies and let them escape." Zhang Ruochen muttered inwardly.
Since the fire-colored strange bird could come back to life, Zhang Ruochin thought it was a mutation.
Under normal circumstances, even a being of the Great Sage level should have died long ago after being frozen for such a long time. How could it possibly still be alive?
Zhang Ruochin was now far from Shiqiao and could cast Spatial Teleportation to escape at any time. That's why he stayed behind to observe and wanted to know what secrets were hidden here?
Zhang Ruochin stared at the ground below while asking, "Where's Xiao Hei?"
<<>>
<<>>
"How is that possible? It's a cat." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?
Zhang Ruochin felt that Qing Mo's thoughts were too active and shook his head gently.
<<>>
"It just doesn't like to be called." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhang Ruochin didn't sense Xiao Hei's aura on that flamebird.
On both sides of the stone bridge, there are densely packed cages, imprisoning many ferocious demons from ancient times. Zhang Ruochin has been suspecting since the beginning that Xiao He's physical body is very likely to be in one of these cages.
Zhang Ruochin had examined all the corpses inside the cages, none of them resembled Xiao Hei in shape. Not even a single cat was there.
Of course, there are also cages suspended in colorful mist, completely invisible. It's not impossible that Xiao Hei's physical body is hidden within the colored clouds and fog.
Qing Mo seemed to agree with Zhang Ruo Chen's words, nodding slightly. Then she asked, "Didn't the Dragon Clan already go extinct? Who sealed Xiao Hei's body here? And why was his body sealed here?"
<<< It's a very simple question, yet it stumped Zhang Ruochen. <<<
According to Xiaohei, back then, it was the Xumi Holy Monk who suppressed it, sealing its physical body in Yin Yang Sea and refining its soul into the artifact spirit of the Kunlun Divine Wood Diagram.
But why did the holy monk Shumi seal Xiaohei's physical body in Yin Yang Sea?
Before this, Zhang Ruochin had never thought about it.
Could it be… that the venerated Sumisai Saint wasn't a human at all, but a divine dragon? Zhang Ruochen dared to imagine.
It's not strange that the Dragon Clan joined Buddhism. Eight hundred years ago, the Buddha's mount, "Golden Dragon," wasn't it a holy figure in Buddhism?
"Boom, boom, boom." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The flame bird in the cage, its power grew stronger and stronger. The lightning erupting from the stone bridge couldn't hold it back at all.
The stone bridge trembled even more violently, and at the same time, the five-colored clouds that enveloped it gradually dissipated, revealing the entire structure of the bridge.
Previously, Zhang Ruochin and the others had only seen a small section of the stone bridge.
A bridge hundreds of miles long, spanning the sky, its surface covered in brilliant dragon script.
In the center of the stone bridge, there was a five-colored iceberg, towering a thousand feet high and occupying one-third of the bridge.
At the bottom of a five-colored glacier, stood a young man with golden long hair and a pair of dragon horns. He had delicate features and a slender build.
He stood on the bridge, arms crossed, gazing into the void, his entire being exuding an air of majesty.
If he hadn't been encased in the glacier, everyone would probably think he was still alive.
"He... what kind of person is he, to be frozen on the bridge? Just looking at his posture, he doesn't seem like a prisoner, nor does he look like someone who was frozen during a fight. It's so strange."
Could he have sealed himself away?
????????……
Zhang Ruochin's gaze was also fixed on the young man standing inside the iceberg. Even though he was encased in ice, the aura emanating from him was majestic and imposing, like a celestial emperor gazing at the cosmic river of stars.
If he were still alive, he would surely be a terrifying figure.
Qing Mo said, "Could he be a divine dragon?"
If he were a divine dragon, then he would certainly be the last of the dragon clan.
"Why?" Qing Mo asked.
"Intuition."
Zhang Ruochin's eyes were somewhat contemplative, and he continued, "I feel that something very terrifying is likely to happen next. Let's leave this place quickly."
Zhang Ruochin, accompanied by Qing Mo, used the Spatial Displacement Technique to burst out of the ice cave and arrive on the surface of the Glacial Continent.
<<>>
Qing Mo was a bit anxious and said, “What about Xiao Hei? It’s very likely still inside the ice cave.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?
"Whether it can escape the Ice Cave depends entirely on its own abilities. With our current cultivation, venturing back into the Ice Cave would be no different from suicide." Zhang Ruchen said solemnly.
Just now, Zhang Ruochin clearly felt that the connection between Xiao Hei and the乾坤 Divine Wood Diagram had disappeared!
Then there are only two possibilities:
Firstly, Xiao Hei's holy soul encountered unforeseen calamity, completely scattering his spirit and essence.
Second, Xiao Hei found the sealed physical body and, relying on his own power, severed the connection with the Kunlun Godwood Diagram.
Swallowing Heaven Demon Dragon, Mang Fourteen, Bai Li Prince, Mo Tian Prince, Qi Sheng, and Huò all dashed out of the ice cave, escaping to the surface of the Glacial Continent. They all felt like they had barely survived.
The Devouring Heavenly Dragon's eyes locked onto Zhang Ruochin, and killing intent once again surged from his body.
Several other Saint Realm beings also began to circulate their holy energy, dispersing and moving from different directions towards Zhang Ruochen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zulong Mountain, Jiuli Palace, and the Undying Blood Clan all suffered heavy losses this time, nearly wiped out. The culprit is Zhang Ruochin.
If they don't kill Zhang Ruochin, how will they explain themselves when they return?
"Shall we fight more?"
Zhang Ruochin showed no fear whatsoever. He released Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan from the Water Star Gourd, and summoned the Devouring Saint Flower to stand opposite them.
All familiar faces, our court has come to join in the festivities as well. Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!
After a while, the various holy figures of the Imperial Court emerged from the wind and snow, forming a third party. |
