The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 609 Five-eyed Divine Demon_1
Chapter 609: Chapter 609 Five-eyed Divine Demon_1
In the boundless desert, the violent wind was relentless, stirring up unending sand and dust, as if heralding the apocalypse.
In the midst of the dust-filled sky, an unkempt, utterly disheveled elderly man was heading towards a certain direction with a disgruntled expression on his face, completely alone, painting a picture of profound solitude.
Suddenly, a palace emerged from the dust-filled winds not too far away.
"****..."
Upon seeing the palace, the old man hurried towards it with reckless abandon, much like a hungry wolf spotting a naked beauty.
Who knows how long he had walked, but there was finally some change in this damn place. It was really not easy at all!
...
Within a certain dimension, in a forest.
An old man and a younger man were moving through the forest, their brows knitted in worry.
They didn’t know how long they had been wandering through the forest, but they had not encountered anyone else, they hadn’t even run into a single insect.
"Elder Qi, how much longer are we going to keep walking like this?" Suddenly, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask, "It seems like nothing has changed since we started traveling here."
Elder Qi turned his head and said, "If you are asking me, then who the hell should I ask? God knows what kind of godforsaken place this is."
Seeing Elder Qi flare up, the middle-aged man didn’t dare to speak another word.
He knew this old geezer very well. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were only two of them here and the old man needed some company, he was certain the old man would’ve already killed him.
Without any assurances, he did not dare to provoke Elder Qi excessively.
"Damn it, why are there only the two of us? Where has everyone else gone?"
As Elder Qi continued walking, he muttered with a furrowed brow, "Could it be that this broken formation is so vast that everyone else has been scattered to different locations? How come we haven’t encountered anyone?"
"Elder Qi, look, there’s a palace up ahead." Suddenly, the middle-aged man pointed to the front and jumped up excitedly.
Elder Qi glanced at it and his first thought upon seeing the majestic palace was that there must be good things inside. Thus, he didn’t bother responding to the middle-aged man and dashed towards the palace at an extremely fast speed.
Having walked in this damn forest for so long, they finally found something good. This time, he had to make a good profit.
"Elder Qi, wait for me."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately chased after him.
He was just an Innate cultivator, how could he match the speed of a Grandmaster? If he fell too far behind, he wouldn’t be able to get any benefits.
Would Elder Qi wait? Wasn’t holding onto benefits tightly his style?
The answer was affirmative.
The middle-aged man was better off not shouting, that shout made Elder Qi run even faster. His speed was as if he was flying.
"Damn it, this old bastard."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth in resentment. He could only increase his speed to its limit, trying to reach the palace sooner to grab the bits and pieces left behind. It was most frustrating to be with Elder Qi.
"Damn it!"
Soon, a hysterical roar resonated in the palace, "There’s nothing in this damn palace! Are they playing me for a fool?"
...
Inside a formation in a forest in Tongzhi County, within a certain dimension.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
A few silhouettes suddenly appeared from thin air and stood on a suspension bridge. They were Zhang Xian, Mo Shaoyun, Blood Soul, and Xiao Huo - two people, one corpse, and one beast.
"Ah..."
As her vision became clear and Mo Shaoyun saw the surroundings, her face paled, and she flung herself into Zhang Xian’s arms.
"Um..." Zhang Xian held Mo Shaoyun tightly while looking around vigilantly.
At this moment, they were standing on a suspension bridge. Behind them was a cliff wall, leaving no path for retreat, and about a hundred meters ahead, there was a dark red metallic gate. Beneath them, a deep abyss filled to the brim with lava, released surges of heat waves that made them feel as though they were in an oven.
"Zhang Xian..."
Mo Shaoyun didn’t have a fear of heights, but this place was horrifying, especially the lava underneath which was bubbling and emitting hot steam, "What... what kind of place is this?"
"I just arrived here like you did."
Zhang Xian withdrew his gaze and said, "It seems there is only one path and that is crossing this bridge to go through the metal gate opposite."
"I’m scared..." Mo Shaoyun shook her head, she didn’t have the courage to cross this bridge.
Zhang Xian said, "You don’t have a fear of heights, do you? And this bridge is not that high, why are you scared to walk?"
Mo Shaoyun shook her head and said, "I just don’t dare to walk."
"Um, I’ll carry you." Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment, then crouched down and said.
In an unfamiliar place, he needed to stay alert at all times; carrying Mo Shaoyun would affect his reaction speed. However, since she refused to walk, he had no choice but to carry her.
After glancing left and right, Mo Shaoyun leaned on Zhang Xian’s back, and Xiao Huo perched on her shoulder.
As for the Blood Soul, it remained largely indifferent the whole time. It simply followed Zhang Xian wherever he went, staying close behind him.
"Zhang Xian, be careful." Mo Shaoyun warned anxiously.
After nodding in response, Zhang Xian suddenly accelerated, covering ten meters in one leap. He crossed the hundred-meters-long suspension bridge in just a few jumps.
"Ahhh..." Mo Shaoyun let out high-pitched screams all the way to the other side, her face turning pale with fear.
Zhang Xian put Mo Shaoyun down, massaged his ears, and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, was that really necessary? After all, I’m a cultivator in the Tier Six Celestial Body Refinement Realm, crossing a suspension bridge is nothing for me."
"Maybe in other places it’s nothing, but here, it’s better to be careful."
After giving Zhang Xian a rolling of her eyes, Mo Shaoyun curiously asked, "But I am very curious, nothing happened when I crossed, why is there a bridge here at all?"
"The formation was constructed a long time ago, with no one to maintain it, many of its functions have ceased. In the past, things weren’t so simple here."
Zhang Xian added, "Now, the few most potent mechanisms in the formation that still possess attacking power are the ones that have lasted the longest. They are the most powerful, consume lots of Spiritual Energy, and naturally, have endured till the end."
"What? The most potent mechanisms?" Mo Shaoyun appeared startled again.
Zhang Xian looked at Mo Shaoyun and smiled, "Don’t worry, with so much time having passed, no matter how powerful these mechanisms were, they probably don’t pose much of a threat now. Formations require maintenance too."
"That’s good." Mo Shaoyun sighed a breath of relief.
She didn’t understand much about formations. However, from what Zhang Xian described, formations seemed very powerful, and she couldn’t shake off the fear and anticipation.
"Let’s enter!"
Zhang Xian turned, took hold of Mo Shaoyun and the Blood Soul, walked to the door, and with a kick, pushed open the heavy metal door.
"Boom..."
The grating noise echoed in the empty abyss, sounding particularly harsh.
Faintly, this harsh sound gave a creepy feeling, as if the door before them was a gateway to Hell, and evil spirits might jump out at any moment.
"Oh..."
The moment the metal door opened, Mo Shaoyun couldn’t help but shudder, hiding herself in Zhang Xian’s arms unwilling to move out.
"Something’s up."
Zhang Xian held Mo Shaoyun tight, waiting for the scene beyond the metal door to reveal itself.
The metallic door opened slowly, and the range his divine consciousness could reach was limited, unable to probe the actual situation inside. However, the moment the metal door opened, he smelt a strong stench of blood rushing at him. There was definitely something extraordinary behind the door. This place, at least during Ancient Times, was a land of purgatory.
"What’s that smell? Why is it so nauseating?" Mo Shaoyun frowned.
Zhang Xian replied, "It’s the smell of blood, sealed in this space so it has not dissipated. In the past, this place was undoubtedly a purgatory, not knowing how many creatures perished here."
"Are you serious? Why did we come to such a godforsaken place?" Mo Shaoyun shuddered. The strong smell of blood made her extremely uncomfortable, and her delicate body involuntarily trembled.
Finally, the gate opened, revealing an empty hall inside.
On either side of the entrance, there were six golden pillars, engraved with unknown creatures of peculiar shapes that seemed lifelike as if they were about to come alive the next moment.
Right in front, there was a golden throne, imposing and domineering.
Sitting on the golden throne was an eerie creature, grotesque with a pair of horns on its head, an ugly face, and a massive figure.
Its arms were disproportionately long in comparison to its body. Its wrinkled forehead carried three eyes. Its massive lips were tightly sealed, yet could not hide the protruding teeth.
"Wha...What is that?"
Mo Shaoyun gasped when she spotted the creature on the throne, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and her mouth wide open, able to fit an egg.
She had seen many strange creatures in films, but this was the first time she had seen something so real, so close, and so imposing.
"Damn, a Five-eyed Divine Demon." Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched repeatedly upon seeing the creature.
The knowledge in his inheritance wasn’t extensive, only a small part of the knowledge possessed by cultivators. However, among that information, there was record of this Five-eyed Divine Demon.
According to the details in the inheritance, the Five-eyed Divine Demon is a hybrid creature somewhere between man and beast. Legend has it that in the Ancient Times, some humans combined with demonic beasts to give birth to this creature.
At the time of its birth, the Five-eyed Divine Demon caused a massive uproar in the Cultivation World. It not only possessed human intelligence but also the fighting prowess of a demonic beast.
In an equal battle, neither humans nor demonic beasts were a match for this Five-eyed Divine Demon.
Who would’ve thought the formation would house such a horrifying existence?
After all, this creature was once a troublesome entity in the Cultivation World during Ancient Times.
"Five-eyed Divine Demon? Wha... What does it mean?" Mo Shaoyun turned to ask.
"Seems like... we’re in a bit of trouble."
Zhang Xian said with a bitter smile, "The creature inside, it’s an extremely formidable being. If we have to confront it, our chances of winning don’t seem very high."
"No...Really?" Mo Shaoyun worriedly asked, "Then...then what should we do now? There’s no way out, we’re trapped."
Zhang Xian replied, "I just said our chances aren’t very high, not nonexistent. Why are you so panicked?"
"Didn’t you just say it’s a big trouble?" Mo Shaoyun retorted.
Zhang Xian replied, "That’s certain. However, this Five-eyed Divine Demon is not its true body, its power has been weakened by the formation, we might as well take a shot and see who’s stronger."
