Chapter 1638: It Awoke Before
A cloud of black dust was swept up around the Heaven Boundary Monument.
No matter how much time passed, nothing could weather away a single ancient sigil or text on this monument.
It stood erected on this land as if guarding something, yet reminding people of something.
Chu Mu stood below this Heaven Boundary Monument and looked up to see the top.
He wanted to know the reason for the existence of Heaven Boundary Monument. It represented a certain era, but had a history even longer than a wheel. The texts carved on it only recorded a certain era’s story, but before then, would there be another story of a creature even earlier than that recorded on it? Or perhaps, would he be recorded on this Heaven Boundary Monument in the next wheel?
Beneath this Heaven Boundary Monument was the Dark Wind Palace, within the palace was the fifth era’s strongest, Ancient Flood Dragon Person.
Its eyes were closed, as if a devil was taking a nap. It would occasionally look at the living beings on this land and grin eerily. Its dominance shrouded over this land all the time. Once it woke up, no matter if there was any new race or new master on this land, it would reclaim the land.
Chu Mu remembered that when he stood below the Heaven Boundary Monument for the first time, only a portion of memory was left in his head. This portion of memory gradually appeared as he became stronger, eventually letting him take the path of a Monument Tear Individual.
Meanwhile, there were many people like him in the human territory, guided by Heaven Boundary Monument unconsciously. As they became stronger, they would gradually clash against other Monument Tear Individuals similarly treading this narrow path......
At the end of the path was this napping devil.
It could be said that Heaven Boundary Monument was deciding the fate of some people.
In the past, Chu Mu had no idea because he was only standing within the folds of mountains and could not see the entire picture.
Now, he saw many more things.
The truth behind Solar Eclipse, the truth behind Monument Tear Individuals, the entire world was not as vast as he used to imagine. Instead, it gradually looked like a cage, and the rules of the cage were determined and managed by Heaven Palace.
“Huhuhuhuhuhu~!”
Gusts of eerie wind blew past, the pitch-black Heaven Boundary Monument no longer looked so intimidatingly solemn. Instead, it appeared to be like an arrogant spirit manipulating something.
Chu Mu jumped up and flew to the top of Heaven Boundary Monument.
He used his hands to tear open a spatial sigil above Heaven Boundary Monument and a spatial passage connecting to another dimension appeared.
Chu Mu did not think any further and flew inside.
......
The raging wind of darkness remained blowing, there was also occasional coldness coming from the chilling palace ahead.
When Chu Mu walked into this palace floating above darkness and raging wind, he felt like walking into a mausoleum.
Suddenly, a pair of emotionless eyes appeared on the roof of the palace. Its gaze coldly focused on Chu Mu, like pieces of ice stakes piercing into Chu Mu’s eyes, sending waves of chill directly into Chu Mu’s soul!
Chu Mu inspected with soul remembrance and noticed a slim creature lying on the roof. It was completely dark and had a well-groomed fur. Its long tail hung down from the roof and just touched the stairs of the levitating palace.
Its tail lightly swept left and right and appeared to be rather casual, yet it carried a deadly killing intent!
Chu Mu’s heart sank, he could not be any more familiar with this creature. It looked exactly like the little black fox Yu Suo usually carried in her arms!
Seven Sins Fox Dark Death King!
Chu Mu remembered clearly that there was a petrified Dark Death King in Wind Palace. The creature lying on the roof was none other than it.
Chu Mu had personally witnessed the strength of the ten thousand year Immortal Dark Death King, and this Dark Death King before him was not any weaker than the ten thousand year Immortal Dark Death King.
“Young master, this fellow is guarding outside, it looks like Ancient Flood Dragon Person has not completely awaken,” said Old Li.
Ancient Flood Dragon Person had been sleeping for five thousand years. This Solar Eclipse certainly could let it awaken, but this awakening process still took time.
Since Dark Death King was guarding outside, Ancient Flood Dragon Person must still be bound by something. This was definitely a good news to Chu Mu!
“Wuwuwuwu!”
Dark Death King’s gaze was filled with hostility. As long as this human dared to take one step closer, its claws would surely tear this human to shreds.
It slowly stood up, the dense darkness aura lingering around its body slowly turned into a violent darkness storm, triggering an unstable shaking within the entire space.
Suddenly, a huge fox shadow appeared on the back of Dark Death King. That majestic body was even more astonishing than the solemn Wind Palace. That pair of eyes stared at Chu Mu coldly, as if just its gaze could vaporize this weak human.
Chu Mu knew that it was already showing killing intent and immediately chanted.
Since it was darkness, he would find out who was the true dominator of darkness. Chu Two black summoning diagrams appeared next to Chu Mu. Within one diagram, Dead Dream flapped its sixteen feathered wings and hovered next to Chu Mu.
From the other diagram, Zhan Ye in black armor walked out slowly. Facing a legendary opponent like Dark Death King, Zhan Ye’s eyes gleamed in anticipation instead!
Only an enemy like that could allow it to unleash its full power!
Dark Death King slowly walked over along the roof and pillar of the palace. It looked like a ruler walking down from its throne. That pair of eyes remained arrogant and cruel!
It exposed its sharp fangs and the fox shadow on its back did so as well!
Suddenly, Dark Death King turned into black lightning and pounced towards Dead Dream!
Its fox shadow actually separated from its body and attacked Zhan Ye!
Black lightning zoomed past with unimaginable speed. Dead Dream already took evasion action, but a long claw wound still appeared on its body. Blood slowly flowed out from Dead Dream’s body.
Chu Mu turned around and noticed Dark Death King already appearing behind Dead Dream. It lifted up its claw and elegantly licked the blood on its claw like a hunting playing with its prey.
What an astonishing speed!
Chu Mu was shocked. Dead Dream had a very high agility, there were hardly any creatures which could hit it in a frontal attack.
However, this Dark Death King charged past Dead Dream and yet Dead Dream was unable to evade the attack. Dead Dream’s strength after experiencing God Dew’s baptism had become much stronger than during the war!
On the other side, Dark Death King’s fox shadow showed a completely different attacking style compared to the main body. Dark Death King attacked with speed and drew blood in a single strike.
Meanwhile, the fox shadow split out from Dark Death King used overpowering strikes, each strike would tremble the space. Zhan Ye had already reached high class Immortal rank, yet it had trouble taking the terrifying strikes of the fox shadow!
Zhan Ye was injured, Dead Dream was also injured. Right after the fight started, this Dark Death King which had slept for five thousand years already disppd its terrifying strength. As expected of the past strongest creature in that wheel. It was much stronger compared to the other subordinates of Ancient Flood Dragon Person!
Chu Mu’s heart sank again. There must be other subordinates guarding within the palace. If Dead Dream and Zhan Ye could not handle this Dark Death King despite cooperating, he probably could not even enter the Wind Palace, let alone scattering the seeds inside!
“Grrr!”
Zhan Ye roared. It did not take long before it was forced to use Broken Limb Rebirth. This was sufficient to prove just how terrifying Dark Death King’s strength was. What caused Zhan Ye to feel frustrated was that this was only Dark Death King’s soul shadow!
Dead Dream was facing the real Dark Death King. Under the creepy and swift attacks of Dark Death King, even Dead Dream could not maintain its usual calmness and composure.
More and more wounds appeared on its body, yet the dark purple lightning surroundings its body could not touch Dark Death King at all.
“Young master, this fellow is overwhelmingly strong. It seems to be even stronger than Yu Suo’s Dark King. You have to summon another soul pet to take it on, or you have to join in yourself,” Old Li took a glance at the disadvantageous situation and urged.
Zhan Ye was already getting injured at the start of the battle. This was enough to prove that this Dark Death King was much stronger than Dead Dream and Zhan Ye. Perhaps, before Zhan Ye could boost its strength, it would have used up its Broken Limb Rebirth chances.
After chanting another incantation, Chu Mu summoned Night which also had darkness property.
Night’s strength should be on par with Dead Dream after going through Ning Maner’s nurturing. Chu Mu originally thought he could handle Dark Death King with two soul pets, but never expected to have to summon all three of his darkness property soul pets.
After Night appeared, Dead Dream and Zhan Ye were able to gain some room for breathing. Chu Mu knew he could not waste too much time outside the palace. So he transformed into a streak of black and silver flame and flew into the palace.
......
It was still quiet inside the Wind Palace, Chu Mu could see the entirety of the palace within the dimness.
There were originally many statues gathered inside the palace, but those statues had already disappeared now. There was only one semi-giant like creature half kneeling before Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s throne, Chu Mu could not tell what kind of creature it was.
On the throne, Ancient Flood Dragon Person with the upper half human body and lower half dark blue dragon body remained leaning on the armrest.
Chu Mu took a glance at it and instantly felt an ominous chill.
He clearly remembered that Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s petrified posture was lying on the side with one hand propping up its head back then.
However, Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s sleeping posture changed. Both of its hands were crossed in front of its chest. Its closed eyes also gave off a feeling that they might open any moment. Meanwhile, its dragon tail with sharp scales changed from the originally coiling state to stretching out along the stairs......
It awoke before!
