Chapter 345: Legend of the Vicious Beast?

Nie Zongsheng and the others quickly followed.

This commotion was too terrifying.

It spread throughout the entire Luotian Realm.

One figure after another flew over, coming from various major forces, staring at that direction in shock.

Rumble!

Rosy clouds gathered.

The ground here collapsed frantically, cracking into a grand canyon, as massive pieces of mangled flesh and blood faintly revealed their true form.

That body had clearly been dead for countless years.

Vital parts like the head and heart were missing, and the wounds were horrific.

Moreover, it had been severed into many pieces.

Yet it still flowed with divine light, and blood still trickled from the wounds as if it had only just died.

From the remaining parts of the body, one could vaguely discern that this was once a massive giant with three heads and six arms, with Innate runes carved even onto its bones, appearing exceptionally ancient and powerful.

The sun and moon were reflected in mid-air, like its eyes.

“What… race is this?”

Everyone was shocked and cried out in surprise.

“It's very unfamiliar, likely very ancient; many historical records don't mention it!”

“…”

Many people frowned, unable to identify the figure's origin, only vaguely sensing its unprecedented power. Its aura was not even slightly inferior to the Dragon Emperor Legacy obtained by Han Li.

“Could it be… an Ancient God?”

In the Kunlun Holy Land, the elderly and learned Grand Elder Zhou Yao frowned.

Murong Qiushui's gaze instantly became solemn as she stared at him. “Are you sure?”

Zhou Yao shook his head. “I'm not certain, but this appearance does indeed match the records of the Ancient God Race in an ancient scroll preserved in our Holy Land!”

The Ancient God Race.

Even in the oldest secret archives of the Holy Land, there were only a few words recorded.

All that was known was that in the distant past, they were the most blessed race of that era—born as deities, they didn't need to cultivate and would naturally grow powerful as time passed.

Their Physical Body was Immortal.

Their Primordial Spirit was indestructible.

They fought against heaven and earth.

It was said they could even sweep aside Immortals.

This race once acted as the Dominator of many Small Worlds.

They were sustained by the offerings of ten thousand races.

They called themselves the God Race.

But later, this race's Luck reached its end, and they were resisted by a joint effort of all races under the heavens, eventually being completely suppressed and disappearing into the long river of history.

Could it be that the Ancient God Race still had a Bloodline remaining?

And that they participated in that battle back then?

Everyone's gaze was solemn; even those with the firmest Heart-Nature couldn't help but feel their emotions fluctuate at this moment.

“What exactly is going on this year? Opportunities of this level never appeared in previous years, but now two have appeared at the same time?”

“The young people of this generation have incredible Luck!”

“It's enough to make even an old man like me green with envy…”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. This year was truly bizarre. If these were truly the remains of an Ancient God, it would definitely be considered a supreme treasure, no weaker than a Pseudo-Emperor Legacy… Within the Luotian Realm, these young people didn't have such erudite knowledge.

But they could also sense it.

This was definitely a rare Opportunity.

“Clear the area!”

The corners of Lu Jiuge's mouth curled up, and Nie Zongsheng instantly understood.

Now.

In this Secret Realm, the strength of their two Great Holy Lands held the absolute advantage; there was no reason to share such an Opportunity with others.

Of course, “others” here mainly referred to the Prodigies of the Northern Dark Holy Land and those from ordinary external forces.

As for the Kunlun Holy Land.

They still had to give them some Face.

Firstly, this Secret Realm was their territory; secondly, the Kunlun Holy Land had always refrained from participating in conflicts and remained neutral. Attacking them would easily drive them to band together with the Northern Dark Holy Land.

For ordinary Opportunities, it wouldn't matter much, and they wouldn't take it too seriously.

But right now… social graces still had to be observed.

Thus.

The people from the two Great Holy Lands acted decisively, launching lethal attacks against the Northern Dark Holy Land Disciples in the vicinity.

In an instant.

A fierce battle broke out.

Even the Northern Dark Disciples who had been hiding in the distance and hadn't approached were instantly drawn into the flames of war.

“Don't let a single one escape! Clear out everyone from the Northern Dark Holy Land!”

Lu Jiuge laughed wildly, wielding a massive Mountain-Splitting Battle-Axe as he sought out a Prodigy from the Northern Dark Holy Land. With every swing, wind and thunder roared, as if the Void Realm itself was being torn apart, heavily wounding that Northern Dark Disciple in just a few strikes.

“Damn it, this is too much!”

“Brothers, let's fight these guys! We have to take a few down with us!”

“…”

Su Qinghe, Yuan Congtian, and the others were filled with rage. They all exploded with power, unleashing various Sword Qi, Magic Treasures, and Divine Abilities all at once, instantly taking down several Prodigies from the Primal Chaos and Universe Holy Lands.

“Stubborn resistance! The Northern Dark Holy Land's fortune is running out. Their Saint is a waste who can't cultivate, and the Disciples below him are each more pathetic than the last!”

Lu Jiuge shook his head disdainfully.

Nie Zongsheng also sneered. “A deathbed struggle! I love seeing those expressions on your Faces—hating us but unable to defeat us, hahaha…”

Su Qinghe's Face was covered in blood as he grinned savagely. “Bullshit! If you and I fought one-on-one, I would definitely cut you down with my sword within thirty moves!”

Nie Zongsheng chuckled. “Provocation? It's useless against me!”

With the current situation being so favorable, he wouldn't be foolish enough to give up the advantage they had worked so hard to gain just to duel Su Qinghe.

A great Opportunity was right before them.

Nothing was more important than this.

If nothing unexpected happened, once this trip to the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven ended, the likes of Su Qinghe would no longer be qualified to be his opponent… “How hateful!”

“These two Great Holy Lands are becoming more and more shameless!”

“What kind of skill is it to bully with numbers?”

“Fuck!”

“…”

Outside.

The people from the Northern Dark Holy Land watched the battle in the Luotian Realm with gnashing teeth, glaring furiously at those from the Primal Chaos and Universe Holy Lands.

The other side responded with sneers: “Who said Alliances aren't allowed in the Secret Realm? Absolute nonsense!”

“The winner takes all. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. What's there to argue about?”

“Exactly! That Han Li in your Azure Cloud Realm was so despicable and cunning, harming so many of our people. This is retribution!”

“There's no rule saying that one must fight one-on-one in the Secret Realm. If that were the case, why even enter the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven? We might as well just set up a stage to decide the winner!”

“…”

Qiu He and the others' expressions also softened quite a bit.

As expected.

Watching the competition in the Luotian Realm was much more heartening.

The Azure Cloud Realm had been too painful to watch.

“These Ancient God remains are a supreme treasure rarely seen in ten thousand years. This Opportunity is not inferior to a Pseudo-Emperor Legacy in the slightest. This trip to the Jade Pool Grotto-Heaven is worth it!”

“Indeed, indeed!”

“We've finally turned the tables!”

Just then, in the Luotian Realm, a sudden change occurred… “Eh, what's that?”

A Primal Chaos Disciple squinted his eyes, looking into the distance, and asked in confusion.

“What?”

“Hiss, holy crap!”

“So fast!”

“…”

A chorus of exclamations rose. Nie Zongsheng and Lu Jiuge also noticed and looked over.

In the extremely distant sky.

A Divine Rainbow streaked across at an incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning.

Moreover, wherever it passed, it didn't detour around high peaks but crashed straight through them, piercing through the mountains with its speed completely unaffected, appearing extremely domineering and unreasonable.
