Chapter 868
“A saint has emerged. Only a saint possesses such means!”
“The barrier of heaven and earth is broken. The world is about to flourish once more, and those self-sealed experts will begin to emerge one by one.”
“Is there going to be a bloodbath again? The descendants of the ten thousand clans must be coming out now.”
“No one knows how this era will end!”
“…”
At every corner of the Mortal Realm, figures gazed at the intertwined textures above the void and watched the spiritual energy pouring down from the sky. Countless experts who had never revealed themselves looked towards the void.
They all knew that from today onwards, this era would open a new chapter.
Ye Chu was unaware of all this. At this moment, swept up by the arm of the Mojade Venerable, his entire body was bound by a powerful force. Along with Zhong Wei and the shattered Tashan Jade, he was taken away by the Mojade Venerable.
He submerged into the void, not knowing how vast a distance they crossed. Ye Chu did not know where he was being taken, and he was powerless to resist, so he could only let himself be carried away.
Zhong Wei tightly gripped Ye Chu’s hand, her palms breaking out in a cold sweat.
No one knew how much time had passed before he brought Ye Chu and Zhong Wei down at the foot of a mountain range. Looking at this mountain range, he waved his power, and lines of texture appeared from his hand. In the void, a gigantic hand suddenly appeared, towering ten thousand feet high with a terrifying momentum.
“What is he trying to do?” Zhong Wei stared blankly at the massive arm before her. “Could it be that he intends to snatch this entire mountain range away?”
Zhong Wei’s words came true as the gigantic hand reached down towards the continuous mountain range below. This mountain range, stretching for hundreds of miles, was literally ripped from the earth.
The ground shook continuously because of this, and a massive sound vibrated through heaven and earth. This mountain range kept rising into the sky, and as it ascended, the soil and bluestone of the mountains continuously fell away.
“Let us go!”
The Mojade Venerable grabbed the mountain range. The mountains stretching for a hundred miles blocked the light of the sun and moon. Looking up, all Ye Chu could see was a mountain range of unimaginable weight.
Such a shocking sight made Ye Chu swallow hard. He could not even imagine the power of a saint. It was far too terrifying, as an entire mountain range was easily picked up.
After lifting the mountain range hundreds of metres into the air, the Mojade Venerable casually tore at the void, creating a crack hundreds of miles long. The pitch-black crack was frightening, as if it wanted to devour everything. The Mojade Venerable threw the mountain range directly into it. The originally rumbling heaven and earth returned to calm at this moment, while the area in front of Ye Chu was completely flattened.
All this happened in just a few breaths, so fast that one could not even react.
“Too strong!” Ye Chu sighed in his heart. Even people like the Son of Heaven were mere ants in front of the Mojade Venerable. Was this the method of a saint?
Such a majestic mountain range standing proudly between heaven and earth was so easily tossed by him to some unknown place with a casual wave of his hand.
Having done this, the Mojade Venerable leapt away with Ye Chu and Zhong Wei, walking quickly across the flattened land where the mountains had disappeared.
The flattening of a mountain range spanning hundreds of miles alarmed countless cultivators. Many cultivators rushed towards this area, wanting to see exactly what had happened.
Ye Chu was brought by the Mojade Venerable to a place filled with mist. This mist stretched for a hundred miles. Ye Chu took a look around and realised that this mist-shrouded place was exactly the very centre of the mountain range they had just seen.
“He flattened the mountain range just for this place?” Ye Chu was puzzled, but because of the obstruction of the mist, he could not see what was inside.
“Do not move from here!” The Mojade Venerable spoke to Ye Chu for the first time. With a wave of his arm, he condensed a seal in front of Ye Chu and Zhong Wei, protecting the two of them within it.
After doing this, the Mojade Venerable leapt forward, his fingers tapping continuously. With each tap, the laws of heaven and earth danced, transforming into howling winds that blew towards the mist ahead.
Yet, even someone like the Mojade Venerable, who could casually flatten a mountain range, could not blow away the mist before him. This made Ye Chu and Zhong Wei exchange a glance, their hearts shaking. They did not know what this place was, that it could actually block the laws wielded by a saint.
“Rumble…”
The blowing laws disturbed something within the mist. A figure wearing golden armour and bearing a golden chrysalis mark on his forehead walked out. He held a weapon and stood outside the mist.
“Someone from the Golden Bug Clan!” Ye Chu was shocked in his heart. He naturally recognised the texture on the other party’s forehead. Back when the Golden Baby fought a terrifying youth, that youth had the exact same texture on his forehead.
“No, he is not a living person. He is a dried corpse!” Ye Chu quickly noticed the anomaly. He found that the other party’s eyes were dull, and standing there, he had no spiritual consciousness at all, exactly like the dried corpses seen in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land.
Ye Chu could not help but think of the Heavenly Feather Saint Lord he had encountered before, who was easily repelled by Ou Yi back then. It was not that Ou Yi’s strength had reached such a level, but rather that the things inside the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land seemed to fear him. Ye Chu could not help but be curious about Ou Yi’s identity. He roughly knew the identities of the Golden Baby and Shigu, but Ou Yi was the most mysterious. Back then, he had uttered the words asking if the heavens dared to let him die in madness.
“The Golden Bug Holy Armour!” Looking at the golden armour on the other party, Zhong Wei also murmured to herself, her heart full of shock and a trace of disbelief.
“What is the Golden Bug Holy Armour?” Ye Chu asked Zhong Wei curiously.
Pointing her finger at the dried corpse’s armour, Zhong Wei said, “The Golden Bug Clan can be considered an extremely strange family. Although they have never produced a Supreme, their momentum is not inferior to the top holy clans that have produced Supremes, and they once even suppressed a Supreme clan. The Golden Bug Holy Armour is the famous artefact of the Golden Bug Clan, representing the identity of the Golden Bug Patriarch. Legend has it that this artefact was forged by an absolute expert and possesses extraordinary power, inherited by whoever becomes the Golden Bug Patriarch. However, it later disappeared. I never expected it to be here. It seems that the person before us must be a generation of the Golden Bug Saint Lord. I just do not know which generation…”
Ye Chu had not expected the armour on the other party to have such a background. He could not help but turn his gaze to the Mojade Venerable, wondering what he was going to do.
“A junior dares to block my path!” the Mojade Venerable scolded. “Get lost!”
His words carried the power of laws, surging out with a momentum that shook like thunder, possessing the might of heaven and earth, as if the heavens had handed down a holy decree.
Zhong Wei and Ye Chu both stared at the Golden Bug Saint Lord. A dignified Saint Lord, unable to rest in peace, had become a dried corpse here. This was undoubtedly the greatest insult.
Similarly, Ye Chu was also curious about who could turn him into a dried corpse. Someone who could become the patriarch of the Golden Bug Clan for a generation must possess terrifying strength, and it would not be strange if they had reached the level of a saint.
“Could this place be an existence similar to the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Land? But that should not be the case. If this were truly a forbidden land, it would be impossible for the continent to have no records of it. Forbidden lands have always been the most recorded places in the continent’s texts, and every forbidden land is familiar to everyone. Although the Mortal Realm has forbidden lands, I have never heard of this one.”
