Chapter 947: A Dream
The Purple and Black Dao-Devouring Dragon was an ancient beast. Even back when Wisdom was whole, only that one beast was born. It lived through the ages, undying and immortal. Even facing the destruction of worlds, it was still there, even after its owner succumbed to death.
Its power might not be equal to Madman Chu or the Unrivaled, but it was still absolutely at the top ten back then. It was an incredible supreme being.
No one expected Madman’s Chu’s mount to outlive him, or even for the mount to be guarding the Volcanoes of Disaster. What secrets did it hide?
“Xiao Chengfeng, what do we do?”
Yang Jiang could not help but ask. He stared at the battle within the volcano, using his third eye to its fullest. His third eye was so wide that blood threatened to flow out, but it was still hard to look at a battle between three supreme beings. Not only that, the terrifying spells and auras threatened to make his third eye useless.
He hurriedly shut off his vision, not daring to look anymore.
He said helplessly, “What else can we do? All we can do is wait.”
Wait for a chance?
Xiao Chengfeng was speechless.
He merely felt the unending sense of danger coming from within the volcano. Terrifying spells flew everywhere, and the power of supreme beings seemed to be able to take his life at any moment. How were they supposed to enter?
However, there was no way they could run. They had to go in!
The drunkard and the strong man looked at the two of them while they fought as well. When the drunkard and the strong man saw that the two of them did not retreat, and seemed prepared to rush in at any moment, the drunkard and the strong man gave some silent praise in their hearts.
However, they would naturally not allow Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng to just put their lives on the line like that, so they exchanged a look as power radiated from their bodies.
“Drunken heavens!”
Wine flowed out from the drunkard’s gourd, surrounding the dragon. The wine vapor was incredibly powerful, causing the dragon to suddenly feel drunk, clouding its judgment.
At the same time, the drunkard sent out a powerful blow on its body.
Compared to how large the dragon was, the strong man was positively minuscule, yet the power of that fist was still incredible. It sent the dragon flying into the wall!
“Now!” After hesitating for so long, Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng finally saw a chance. They immediately shouted as they flashed right into the volcano!
“Roar!”
Yet, the dragon suddenly let out a crazed raw that contained unending drage. It caused Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng’s blood to lurch. If the drunkard did not save them in time, they would have been crippled, if not dead.
However, that moment’s chance was all they needed to enter the lava.
The lava was no ordinary lava. It was at a heat that even Wisdom Elites would find hard to stand. However, it was naturally nothing to Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng. They continued heading down and arrived at the deepest point.
Splash!
One by one, lava monsters rushed at the two of them with incredible killing intent. At least a few dozen of them were Wisdom Dictators.
“Thankfully, supreme beings are rarely together. There won’t be a second supreme being in the volcano, or we’ll be done for.”
Xiao Chengfeng sighed as he slowly closed his eyes. After that, he opened them suddenly as his expression looked like a sharp blade. It destroyed one monster a hundred meters away!
He pulled out his blade and sent an unrivaled crescent to slash out.
However, his attack was stopped by five lava monsters working together.
That mountain did not just have the Purple and Black Dao-Devouring Dragon. Even the lava monsters there were stronger than in other places. They knew how to use their natural-born talents.
Yang Jian used his powers, and three pairs of hands slammed into a monster at the same time, smashing it!
Three monsters were torn apart, turning back to lava.
He said, “We can’t just stay here. There’s no end to these monsters. We have to hurry forward!”
“You’re right.”
“Sword Domain!”
Xiao Chengfeng raised a hand and waved. Many swords flew and danced around him, suddenly turning into uncountable images. It formed into an unending sharpness that cycled around him, becoming a defensive domain. The sword aura left the monsters unable to get closer.
“Spell protection!”
The figure behind Yang Jian let out a radiant golden light as terrifying energy rose from his body. It forced the lava monsters around him to retreat.
They did not want to waste time-fighting against the lava monsters as they hurriedly rushed forward.
They could feel an immense suppressive power deep in the volcano. It was the old friend of the drunkard and their goal.
…
At the same time, in the courtyard, it was late at night, and the moon was incredibly bright. Yet, the stars were dim.
Li Nianfan sat alone on the stone chair in the yard as he looked at the sky with a strange look on his face.
He suddenly noticed that the stars in the sky were not as bright as before, and the air did not feel as fresh either. It felt like a curtain was draped over the sky and dimmed the stars, polluting the skies.
Like a veil, it caused the stars in the sky to disappear in the end.
Li Nianfan frowned and said, “Is there pollution in the world of cultivation? It’s really… unpleasant.”
“Ah.”
Suddenly, the door opened.
Daji and Fire Phoenix walked out. After that, Qin Manyun, Shi Tuqin, Nanan, and Dragin all looked out of their rooms.
They looked at Li Nianfan with concern and curiosity.
Li Nianfan was stunned for a moment, and could not help but shake his head.
He almost forgot that everyone who stayed with him was an amazing cultivator. They would have noticed him going to the yard, not being able to sleep.
“Why are you still outside? It’s already so late. It’s cold outside, a bit on another layer.” Daji arrived next to Li Nianfan and gently put a coat on him.
Li Nianfan sighed lightly, “I had a dream and felt a bit frustrated, so I came out for a walk.”
Daji and the others raised their eyebrows. It meant that it was not a good dream.
Fire Phoenix said, “What did you dream of?”
“It’s nothing much. I just dreamt that all of you are no longer by my side. The world of cultivation is so dangerous, that I didn’t know what to do. I felt like I had no way to protect myself.”
Li Nianfan spoke of his dream. He had some knowledge of cultivation, or he would not be so frustrated with that dream.
Back when he arrived in the world, he was just a mere mortal. He lived for five years and had quite a good life.
However, once one knew luxury, it was hard to escape. He already knew so many powerhouses in many facets, and even had a good relationship with the Heavenly Palace. He even had Daji and the others to protect him, not needing to worry wherever he went.
If he suddenly lost all that, he did not know how he would continue living as calmly as back then. It would feel incredibly different.
So that dream was quite the nightmare.
