Chapter 1451 – The Foreshadow of the Calamity
Qin Nan and his crew were stunned by the words.
"Are…are you sure that you won't kill us?"
Little Worm probed in disbelief.
"Mm, I won't kill you, and I won't harm you anymore."
The magnificent figure nodded. His words sounded like a promise.
"This…"
Little Worm was startled.
Even though he did not like the old prick, he was still familiar with the old guy's personalities. He never failed to keep his words. He always did what he said.
"I mentioned, I've been waiting for you."
The magnificent figure's emotionless voice turned slightly misty, "It has been eight thousand years since your flesh is suppressed by the South-Heaven Gate. I've been thinking throughout these years and kept asking myself."
"In the end, I realized that although I don't agree with the rules you've set up for the God Beast Forbidden Ground, but deep in my heart, I always knew you're a peerless genius. You're worthy to lead the beast tribe. I truly find you impressive."
Little Worm was stunned.
He never thought the Spirit of the Dragon Necropolis who was like an enemy of life and death to him in the past would utter such words.
"I've helped every Beast God to fulfill their destiny, yet when it came to you, I didn't provide any assistance. I'm one of the main reasons why you lost the fight."
"Therefore, I've been waiting for you to return once again, so I can support you."
"I'm sorry, I once forgot my duty."
The magnificent figure's voice sounded rather heavy.
He had been living with guilt over the past eight thousand years. If he did not see Little Worm today, he would still be asleep, treating everything indifferently.
Little Worm fell silent. The words had significantly impacted him. After some time, he slowly spoke, "…if that's the case, Jiu Lingxuan will be my companion from today onward."
"…if you say that one more time, I'll reveal every mistake that you've made."
The magnificent figure said. Even though his expression was missing, his lips were twitching rapidly.
"Cough cough, I was just joking. I didn't have any feeling for her."
Little Worm waved his hand. His lips slowly curled into a smile.
There were too many things troubling him in his life. His cowardly withdrawal that betrayed Empress Feiyue was one of them, and the second thing was failing to earn the Spirit of the Dragon Necropolis's approval.
But today, he finally got it, even though it had been eight thousand years.
"We're running short on time, let's talk later. We'll have to take away some of the dragon corpses to refine a weapon capable of shattering the South-Heaven Gate."
Little Worm said sternly.
"A weapon capable of shattering the South-Heaven Gate?" The magnificent figure was slightly shocked, before he said, "If you find them useful, just take them all."
"Take them all? How about you…"
Little Worm was stunned once again.
The strength of the Dragon Necropolis was deeply related to the dragon corpses in this place.
"If they knew their corpses could be of assistance to shatter the South-Heaven Gate, I believe they will be extremely grateful in the afterworld."
The magnificent figure's voice turned cold as a thought crossed his mind, "However, you only have a hundred breaths left. The present God Beast has set up some tricks here. He is determined to refine me. He's going to find out if it took longer than a hundred breaths."
"What?"
Little Worm's eyes flickered with cold murderous intent.
He did not expect the God Beast to be this shameless.
Everyone knew that in the ancient teaching of their tribe, it clearly stated that no one was allowed to harm the Dragon Necropolis regardless of the circumstances. The Dragon Necropolis' status was comparable to the master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground.
"Qin Nan, Longhu, you two go and retrieve the dragon corpses. Pick the stronger ones!"
Little Worm took a deep breath and said while withholding the fury burning in his chest.
"Mm, thanks, senior!"
Qin Nan and Longhu had no idea what to say. They nodded and proceeded to retrieve the enormous dragon corpses.
This time, the traps and forbidding auras had disappeared.
On top of that, the dragon corpses stopped resisting as if they were aware of something.
Time gradually passed. The beasts competing for the Dragon Soul Stones and the authorities of the God Beast Forbidden Ground were totally unaware of their actions.
Qin Nan and Longhu first acquired the twenty-three dragon corpses of the Martial God Realm, before retrieving the dragon corpses in the Martial Monarch Realm.
The aura of the Dragon Necropolis significantly weakened as the dragon corpses were taken away.
However, Qin Nan's crew and the Spirit of the Dragon Necropolis did not notice an obscure seal was glowing somewhere deep in the place.
The seal turned out to be the God Beast's Seal.
It was secretly absorbing the force of the Dragon Necropolis.
The God Beast's Seal stopped all of a sudden as if it was aware of something. The hidden runes in it began to light up.
When forty-five breaths had passed since Qin Nan and his crew started collecting the dragon corpses, all the runes inside the seal had lit up.
An energy ripple burst out from it and flew deeply into the God Beast Forbidden Ground.
"…Martial God Jinlong seems to have approached the people of the Anti-Heaven Alliance lately. Senior God Beast, should we use him…"
Martial God Zhenghai appeared once again in the hall. He had come to discuss other matters.
"Mm?"
The master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground who was listening to him suddenly frowned and unleashed his Divine Sense.
"The Martial God and Martial Monarch dragon corpses inside the Door of Dragons are missing?"
The master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground was astounded.
Even the Spirit of the Dragon Necropolis was unable to destroy or move the dragon corpses deep inside the Dragon Necropolis.
The only possibility was someone had stolen the dragon corpses.
"Tell everyone deep inside the Dragon Necropolis to head east. Find the Door of Dragons and investigate what's happening inside!"
The master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground let out a roar and transmitted the thoughts.
Following it, the Martial Gods and Martial Monarchs of the God Beast Forbidden Ground were startled.
Wisps of thoughts were transmitted to the badges of the beasts in the Dragon Necropolis.
Meanwhile, a glamorous icy figure in the endless rift.
BANG!
A terrifying aura suddenly burst out of the figure, shattering the surrounding rift into pieces.
The glamorous icy figure seemed to suffer a great blow. Fresh blood with the color of ice crystal leaked out from her lips.
"Senior Empress Feiyue!"
"Senior…"
The outstanding figures covered in mystical glows were greatly shocked, who almost could not believe their eyes.
Senior Empress Feiyue was injured?
Who had managed to harm her?
"Don't panic, keep advancing."
Empress Feiyue said coldly. She did not slow down her pace, but her eyes were filled with countless ancient runes.
The runes were changing rapidly and forming a variety of rare phenomena and worlds.
She was rather confused too. Why would she be injured out of nowhere despite her cultivation?
Could those people in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm be responsible for it?
"I can't deduce the answer?"
Empress Feiyue inspected the rapid-changing runes that failed to merge with one another. Her hands began to perform a seal.
Buzz.
Following a soft buzz…
Empress Feiyue immediately saw the copper mirror deep in her body trembling while emitting mystical rays as an image slowly surfaced on it.
"Could this be…"
Her eyes immediately wore a stern look.
A few moments later, the image thoroughly stabilized. It was an enormous mountain, where its top stood a pitch-black boulder with a smooth surface and a height of ten zhang.
The boulder was not emitting any aura, yet its surface was written with huge ancient words. Even from the image, one could sense the icy murderous intent coming from it.
I'm coming!
