Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 524: Chapter 529: Blood Stains the Dragon Nest

Back when Ye Fan first saw the vermilion ancient coffin, his hair had stood on end. Now, hearing the Fighting Saint Ape talk about the secrets of the Ancient Clan, he was even more shocked.

There was no concept of coffins among the Ancient races, so why was there a vermilion coffin here?

Judging from its location, it had to be at the center of the Myriad Dragon Nest. Here, the Dragon Qi was most abundant, surrounded by thousands of dragons. It was dazzlingly resplendent and buried by Divine Source Blocks.

It pushed the changes of heaven and earth to their utmost, exploring the very depths of mystery!

This was Ye Fan’s feeling. This place was too extraordinary, inexplicable, and mysterious; the ancient coffin was completely unfathomable.

Everyone had the illusion that their bodies and spirits were being annihilated. Their bones and flesh crackled loudly, all because of the existence of that ancient coffin!

“ROAR!” An Ancient creature pounced. The Nine-layered True Demon Domain it projected was absolute, immobilizing two half-step sovereigns as its gleaming claws reached out.

“SWISH!” The terrifying Ancient creature lifted the skull of one half-step sovereign. Then, as if drinking tofu pudding, it sucked his brains clean in one gulp.

“PUFF!” Blood spurted out. The Ancient creature tore another half-step sovereign in two, then grabbed a bloody arm and shoved it into its mouth.

“CRUNCH!” The sound of teeth grinding against flesh and bone filled the air, making one’s skin crawl. Blood flowed from the corners of its mouth as flesh and bone were chewed to pieces.

Too brutal! Even the big black dog felt frightened; all its dense, long black fur stood on end, making it look like a giant hedgehog.

“BANG!” The Ji Family Sacred Master came through the air, as transcendent as a god. His robe flapped, black hair flew, and his eyes were sharp. A suspended Ancient Mirror above his head was radiant, emitting a dazzling divine rainbow that struck the terrifying creature.

“ROAR!” The Ancient creature dropped the bloody arm it held. It roared and shot two purple beams from its eyes, aimed at the Ancient Mirror, blazing and terrifying.

“PUFF!” Blood sprayed. The Divine Light from the Ancient Mirror pierced through the Ancient creature, shattering it. Its massive body erupted with blood as it died on the ground.

The Ji Family Sacred Master stood in the void. The Ancient Mirror floated above him, exuding divine majesty. His black hair swirled chaotically, and his eyes, as bright as electric rays, were soul-frightening.

Ye Fan was astonished. An absolute Sacred Master was indeed unfathomable, towering above others!

Just now, he had personally witnessed the fierce might of the Ancient creature that devoured two half-step sovereigns, yet it was slain by the Ji Family Sacred Master in a single strike.

A loud roar erupted as another Ancient creature lunged forward. Its lower half was a snake’s body covered in purple scales, while its upper half was a human torso with three heads and six arms. It shook its six arms, shattering the void and creating a black hole to swallow the Ji Family Sacred Master.

“BOOM!” A great foot stepped into the black hole, causing it to collapse and vanish into the air. The Ji Family Sacred Master’s black hair flared as his large hand reached out, striking the Ancient creature into pieces, splattering blood everywhere.

This is an absolute Sacred Master, extinguishing ordinary sovereigns effortlessly! Though they’re within the same secret boundary, there’s a world of difference between them! The big black dog shivered.

“Damn dog, quickly unleash the Chessboard Array Patterns! We need to leave here!” Ye Fan didn’t want to stay another moment. This place was like the Gate of Hell, with demons constantly emerging.

These Ancient creatures were all terrifyingly frightening. They even dared to eat half-step sovereigns, and their blood stained the entire area.

Wait a bit more; maybe there’ll be great harvests yet! The big black dog’s greedy habit flared up again as it eyed the massive Divine Sources inside the Myriad Dragon Nest, drooling.

“AAAH!” On another front, some Grand Elders were attempting to break out, only to be slaughtered by more than a dozen Ancient creatures. Blood splashed everywhere, exposing white bones.

Quite a few people were smashed alive. Bone shards mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere. This was truly a scene of Asura, extremely bloody and terrifying.

“BOOM!” Divine flames radiated brilliant light, pouring down and submerging the road ahead. The Jiang Clan Sacred Master acted. A Divine Furnace was suspended above his head, its lid open, firelight draping down like a river of stars.

Several powerful Ancient creatures screamed. Two were incinerated to ashes, while the bodies of the remaining three cracked apart under the Divine Light’s shroud, and they died right there in the passage.

“Quick, open the Domain Gate!” someone shouted. The situation was too urgent; they had to leave quickly, or they might all be annihilated here.

Someone had already taken out a mysterious jade platform, but there was no opportunity to activate the Array Patterns because a tremendously powerful being disrupted everything.

He seemed as heroic as a god, cloaked in Divine Rings. His purple mane obscured most of his face, revealing only two purple eyes, as sharp as knives.

He had no arms, only a pair of golden Divine Wings that seemed forged from Divine Gold. His lower body was that of a snake, spanning over ten meters, its golden scales shimmering. He flew through the air, faster than lightning.

“ROAR!” This Ancient creature, with just one roar, turned all the mysterious jade platforms into dust, destroyed by an invisible murderous intent.

The Qi Mechanism he emanated was terrifying. Several Grand Elders from the Wind Clan jointly resisted, yet they were suppressed to the point they couldn’t move an inch.

“BANG!” He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, divine flame swirling to the sky. The Grand Elders instantly shattered, turning into a mire of blood and perishing on the spot.

“HUMPH!” The Wind Clan Sacred Master struck. His gaze was cold and his hair disheveled. A heroic and majestic figure, he released endless killing intent. An eight trigram diagram was suspended above him, pressing down.

“BOOM!” A terrifying confrontation unfolded as he engaged in a life-and-death duel with the god-like Ancient creature. The fierce battle caused many Dragon Caves to collapse.

Nearby, several Grand Elders of the human race, along with some other Ancient creatures, were all obliterated. Once caught in the fray, they were devoured by the black holes unleashed by the combatants.

Everyone was trying to break through, but on the escape route, three powerful Ancient creatures lined up, blocking the way. Each exuded radiant Divine Light.

Flickering Light Sacred Master, Imperial Uncle Guhua, and the War King of the Southern Mountains all shot out dragon-shaped blood light from their bodies. Enormous Qi surged as they engaged in a life-and-death battle with that Ancient creature.

The black ancient cauldron, golden great halberd, and green ancient pagoda emitted waves of divine energy that shattered the void. Yet, the Myriad Dragon Nest did not collapse, and they failed to carve out a path.

Three Ancient beings, like gods, let down thousands of silken strands imbued with threads of Chaos Qi, instantly shattering several half-step sovereigns who had come to assist!

“ROAR!” Another powerful Ancient creature emerged. It was covered in purple scales and arrived in the blink of an eye, like purple lightning.

“PUFF!” It charged through, grabbing and crushing seven Grand Elders from the Purple Mansion, Wanchu, and the Jiang Family into chunks of flesh and bone. Blood splattered everywhere.

“BOOM!” Meanwhile, the mysterious jade platforms shattered again, and the void itself was confined. It charged towards the fiercest battlefield, aiding those three Ancient creatures that were akin to gods.

“PUFF!” A black hole appeared at its brow, instantly stripping off a large chunk of flesh from Flickering Light Sacred Master’s body and almost severing his right arm.

This was an extremely formidable Ancient creature. It already possessed a somewhat human-like form, its entire being flickering with dazzling purple scales, surrounded by eighty-one thick strands of Dragon Qi.

“Damn dog, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get moving!” Ye Fan anxiously urged.

The battle was extremely brutal. The ground was littered with chunks of flesh and blood-stained bone shards; many powerful cultivators lay dead.

“Monkey, you’re one of them, an Ancient creature! Slip in quietly and carry out some Immortal Treasures,” the big black dog egged on.

God damn it… Ye Fan couldn’t help but swear. This damn dog was too ridiculous! Even at such a moment, it was still fixated on the divine treasures of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

The Fighting Saint Ape also wanted to smash it to bits. Corpses lay everywhere, and powerful cultivators were constantly falling, yet this big dog was still indulging in such crooked ideas. How incredibly greedy could it be!

“Stop with your terrible ideas! Hurry up and leave now!” Ye Fan couldn’t contain his anger, grinding his teeth, wanting to eat the dog alive.

Now is a rare opportunity! With so many Sacred Masters and various Heroic Lords fighting the Ancient creatures of the Myriad Dragon Nest… The big black dog’s eyes blazed, staring into the deepest reaches.

“Damn it, don’t even think about it! Hurry up and engrave the Chessboard Array Patterns!” Ye Fan could hardly restrain his urge to kick it.

All the Ancient creatures that can come out are out now. Only their king is still asleep and won’t wake up for a while! The big black dog was practically salivating.

“AAAH!” A sovereign fell. It was Flickering Light Sacred Master’s junior martial brother, an outstanding figure of his generation, who had just been split in half by a newly emerged, powerful golden creature.

“CRACK!” His head was smashed into paste. His divine scan didn’t even get a chance to escape before turning to ashes. Everyone was shaken; a truly significant figure had fallen!

This golden creature, aside from its golden scales and an additional crocodile tail, was almost indistinguishable from a human.

His whole body burned with blazing golden light, terrifying to the extreme. Even top-tier sovereigns were not his match as he rampaged among numerous Heroic Lords.

“SPLAT!” The old Palace Master of Illusion Destruction Palace was smashed into pulp by his slap, dying instantly without even a chance to scream.

“WHAP!” This golden Ancient creature, with his long golden hair hanging down to his knees, whipped it forcefully. Like golden divine flames burning, the hair swept through the void, shattering seven or eight other cultivators.

“RIIIIP!” He rampaged like a bolt of lightning and tore apart the Head Elder of the Unfettered Sect, grabbing a vigorously pounding heart. He was utterly formidable and terrifying.

“CHIII!” The Ji Family Sacred Master confronted him. The Ancient Mirror suspended overhead shot out brilliant divine rainbows, destroying space and piercing through towards the creature.

“BOOM!” This terrifying creature raised his hand to block. His entire being seemed cast in gold, blazing brilliantly as he crushed the divine rainbows barehanded.

Even someone as powerful as the Ji Family Sacred Master was slightly outmatched. The Ancient Mirror shattered the void yet failed to harm this terrifying golden creature. Their life-and-death battle transformed into a dazzling glow of destructive energy.

“WOOF!” The big black dog yelped, tongue lolling and eyes rolling, nearly choked unconscious by Ye Fan.

Damn it, this emperor just wanted to sneak away with a couple of Immortal Treasures! Is my life easy?! it protested indignantly.

At this moment, they remained unattacked, entirely because the monkey was communicating with these Ancient creatures in the ancient tongue.

Ye Fan was utterly exasperated. Faced with such an incorrigible dog, he was truly at a loss; it simply couldn’t walk away when it saw treasure!

“Monkey, you definitely have a chance! Sneak in and steal a couple of Immortal Treasures! Besides the treasures of the Ancient creatures, maybe you can even find Immortal items left by a True Dragon!” The big black dog was completely shameless and persistent.

“Cut the crap and let’s go, now!” Black lines etched Ye Fan’s forehead. His plan to trap a group of powerful cultivators here had been well-conceived.

However, this damn dog was an unpredictable variable. It was stubbornly uncooperative, its old greedy habits flaring up, and it might very well get them all trapped too.

“I’m not greedy! I’ll just carry out that vermilion ancient coffin and, while I’m at it, grab that True Dragon Immortal Medicine,” the big black dog said with a toothy grin.

Damn it… Ye Fan’s face was turning green. He had a terrible feeling they might actually be doomed by this damn dog.

“Let’s go! While the Myriad Dragon Nest is relatively empty, we’ll raid the Ancient creatures’ lair!” The big black dog darted forward, then looked back to add, “Don’t worry, we can traverse the void at any time to escape.”

“AAAH!” A miserable scream echoed, shaking the Myriad Dragon Nest. Another top-tier figure had perished.

“The Wanchu Sacred Master is dead!”

“This… Sacred Masters have begun to fall!”
