Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There were billions upon billions of mountains, countless in number, forming a vast ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see.
They connected with one another, forming an expansive grand formation enveloping the endless void. Not just Saint Realm experts, even Great Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, and Quasi-Emperor Realm experts would find it arduous crossing this place.
Each mountain peak was wreathed in a layer of auspicious multicolored glow, appearing extremely sacred and tranquil. Wisps of thin mist coiled around, imbued with a touch of fairyland aura washing everything pristine. As long as one did not approach recklessly, this place was a veritable paradise.
However, if one forcefully intruded, it was feared that in just a few breaths’ time, whether you were a saint, a great saint, a saint king, or even a quasi-emperor, you might all turn into a mist of blood in an instant.
Before this, many powerful experts had already been annihilated into nothingness by this grand formation.
Not far away, a blazing sun rapidly approached. Essence fire boiled within as the cry of the Golden Crow reverberated, shaking the world. Wherever it passed, flames surged into the sky and the vague silhouette of a Golden Crow flapping its wings could be glimpsed soaring on high.
This was a powerful Golden Crow who had rushed over hurriedly from the East Barrens.
“That’s… Fellow Daoists of the Golden Crow Clan have arrived!” In the void, a white-haired elder’s eyes lit up at the sight. Surprised delight flashed in his orbs as he spoke.
“Hahaha…” boomed a robust voice from the sun. “I’m able to come today thanks to various fellow Daoists giving advance notice!”
As the voice rang out, the divine glow vanished. The Golden Crow transformed into a middle-aged man, garbed in golden robes and a purple gold crown, striding vigorously toward the assembly.
His eyes were supercilious, sweeping disdainfully over the gathered experts. “Have fellow Daoists from the Thundercloud Hou Clan still not arrived?” he asked, surprised.
The Golden Crows and Thundercloud Hous had a solid relationship. Logically, as inhabitants of the Southern Region, the Thundercloud Hou Clan should have arrived earlier after getting wind of the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s emergence.
Yet not only were there no signs of them, but this Golden Crow had come all the way from the distant East Barrens to now stand at the heart of the Chaotic Sea Star Region.
“Fellow Daoist, to be frank, I’m afraid people of the Thundercloud Hou Clan may not make it,” the white-haired elder said heavily as his expression darkened.
“Oh?” Golden light glimmered in the middle-aged Golden Crow’s blinking eyes. Intrigue furrowed his brows. “Did something happen to the Thundercloud Hou Clan’s fellow Daoists? Do they require my assistance?”
“I won’t hide this from you, friend. The Thundercloud Hou Clan experts met a human on their way here. After exchanging moves, they ultimately lost their lives at his hands…” Sadness shaded the elder’s face as he shook his head slightly.
Though not top secret, news of the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s emergence had spread first among the Southern Region’s top experts. With practically no human experts left in the south, they could hardly relay this information outward. After all, the few ancient teleportation formations were controlled by the ancient myriad races while the Heavenly Path Sect’s was long defective. Communicating via jade slips to other domains was equally unlikely given the Southern Region’s scant external contact.
Moreover, within the Southern Region, even if the human race was aware of the emergence of the Chaotic Sea Star Region, they did not know its specific location. Even if they wanted to notify others, it would be futile. Outside the Kun City where they were previously, although there were many humans, most of them had been living near Kun City.
Therefore, they were able to arrive outside the Chaotic Sea Star Region at the earliest opportunity. Relying on those human individuals to spread the news seemed implausible.
However, since it wasn’t them, at this moment, having powerful human figures arrive still carried a somewhat coincidental meaning.
If nothing unexpected happened… the human who had slain the Thundercloud Hou Clan experts might have already arrived at this place.
“Human?” The Golden Crow’s expression chilled, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. “Where is this human from?”
With his clan’s bond to the Thundercloud Hou Clan, even if indirect, he had to take a stand and help the Thundercloud Hous regain face. Moreover, as the southern native power, how could he let some human run amok so freely in their sphere of influence? Once word of a rampaging human spread, what face would the ancient, self-proclaimed ancient royal clans still have?
“You’ll have to ask Fellow Daoist Zhu You of the Heavenly Demon Alliance,” the white-haired elder said, slowly turning to gaze at a sturdy figure nearby, an extremely fearsome creature even among the gathered Great Saint Realm experts.
The middle-aged Golden Crow followed his gaze and the two parties mildly nodded in greeting.
“A month ago, an outstanding descendant of mine fell,” Zhu You rumbled, his voice thick and grandiose yet with killing intent poorly concealed within that caused many peer experts present to shiver involuntarily. It was clear this lost descendant had been extraordinarily valued.
“And then?” the Golden Crow asked solemnly.
“And then?” Zhu You’s chest heaved, no longer suppressing the tangible killing intent that dyed the very world. “Then 1 discovered my descendant had already perished. 1 even found a nearby battlefield with not just Thundercloud Hou Clan experts’ corpses but also that of a Great Saint Realm Green Scaled Beast! A single enemy defeating two Great Saint Realm foes!”
The Golden Crow’s expression grew heavier. Reaching the Great Saint Realm, neither the Thundercloud Hou Clan nor Green Scaled Beast could have been easy adversaries. Yet both had fallen to this nameless human, evidencing that person’s extraordinarily deadly prowess..
