Chapter 328: Influence
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"There's no other choice, we can only awaken the Ancestral God as our last form of resistance! Once the hollow falls apart, we shall each escape with a portion of the treasures!"
As the key leaders of the hollow, these members of the Golden Horned Wing Tribe immediately understood what was happening and planned accordingly.
"Kaboom!"
A gigantic hexagram appeared on the ground, its centre was the palace's Ancestral God Hall.
Immediately, a serene aura could be felt. It was as though something that was in 10,000 years of deep sleep had suddenly awoken.
"Ancestral God, please complete your last duties!"
Six members of the Golden Horn Winged Tribe kneeled down as tears flowed down their faces. In an instant, they turned into six streams of meteors and flew into the horizons.
"Don't think about leaving!"
Suddenly, the world paused for a moment.
Even the destruction of the hollows seemed to stop for a moment.
In the skies, numerous cracks merged together and formed into the shape of a door.
A dainty jade hand emerged from this gigantic indescribable door.
Just with this palm, the door seemed to collapse as it could not withstand it.
The jade white hand pointed lightly and one of the golden meteors was stopped. The Golden Horned Wing Tribe member in it bellowed, "Demon!"
As it bellowed, numerous golden flames blazed from its body which formed a small sphere.
However, in an instant, the jade white hand broke space-time and appeared beside the Golden Horned Wing. Even as it tried to escape or defend, it was all useless, the jade white hand touched the area between its eyebrows.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
He floated in the mid-air and suddenly, his body cracked like it was made out of porcelain. Between the cracks, a golden liquid slowly seeped out.
"Boom!"
Under the explosion, this Golden Horned Wing Tribe member turned into powder.
A bit of light emerged from its body and was grabbed by the jade white hand immediately. The jade white hand was elated and went for the other golden coloured meteors at once.
"Where do you think you all are going!"
A green lightning split the skies as a similar green-coloured arm emerged from it. The green arm grabbed one of the meteors and crushed it into pieces.
"Ancestral God!!!"
The remaining four meteors let out a sorrowful wail.
"Roar!"
The palace below crumbled as a bedazzling and bright golden light shot up to the skies and turned into a golden dragon.
Its antlers resembled those of a stag, its neck that of a snake, its belly that of a clam and its scales those of a carp. There were four claws on its abdomen and each claw had five toes. There was an inverse scale below its neck, it was indeed a five-clawed true dragon!
As it saw the hollow crumbling and turning into ashes, coupled with the grisly sight of the two dead members of the Golden Horned Wing Tribe, it let out a loud roar.
"Woong! Wooong!"
Large amounts of power from the hollows gathered around its body which formed large heavenly clouds.
The dragon was interconnected with the surroundings!
Once the five-clawed golden dragon appeared, the whole hollow momentarily went back to normal. It displayed its shocking might.
At that moment, the true dragon's eyes had a hint of blood-red in it as he looked at the owner of the two huge hands.
"Eh... just a transformed spirit of the hollow! What's there to be afraid of?"
The two huge hands sent out a wave of force, it obviously did not undermine the true dragon.
The spirit of the hollow had complete authority over the hollow, it could harness the energy of the hollow to suppress outsiders. Even Illusionary Divine dream masters at the 7th Tier would be wary inside the spirit's home ground.
"The spirit of the hollow's power is only limited to inside the hollow, the hollow is crumbling, what's there left?"
A fearsome force from the outside was tearing apart the hollow, Changli Mountain Hollow was collapsing at an even faster pace.
"Roar!"
The true dragon was majestic, its body was protected by the heavenly clouds. It blocked the two huge hands and allowed the remaining Horned Wing Tribe members to evacuate.
"Ancestral God... hollow... tribe members..."
The four remaining Golden Horned Wing Tribe contained their tears as they could only fly farther.
"Kaboom!"
Suddenly, black fog gathered at one point of the horizon and turned into a huge black-coloured hand. Its fingers were like mountains and grasped one of the Golden Horned Wing Tribe member, "The two of you are too slow! Since I am here, I have to rip this hollow apart!"
"Kaboom!"
The moment the voice spoke finished, a tremendous force from outside caused part of the hollow to immediately disintegrate, it was as though it was bitten off.
"Roar!"
One of the heavenly clouds on the five-clawed golden dragon's body disappeared.
As it faced the three humongous hands that covered the skies, his power slightly weakened.
"Haha... small dragon, you better obediently surrender and call me master! I may even spare your pathetic life!"
A terrorising thought emerged and viciously suppressed the true dragon.
Suddenly, the five-clawed golden dragon's eyes fully turned blood-red. He turned in a circle and encircled the three huge hands, there was a destructive atmosphere in the air.
"D*mn it! This spirit of the hollow would rather self-destruct for his cause!"
A slightly exasperated voice could be heard. Immediately, a shocking explosion happened.
The explosion shot to the skies, the wave of destruction was extensive and cracks appeared in space. Only a few meteors were intentionally protected as they were sent out of the area to beyond the horizons.
As the hollows trembled, blood rain fell from the skies signifying the sorrows of the land.
Immediately, it was as though the hollow lost its core strength that kept it together. Large fissures emerged as the entire hollow began to break apart and disintegrate.
...
"This... What's happening?"
Even Fang Yuan and the Ye sisters experienced the impactful force.
The blood rain also brought about a feeling of inauspiciousness.
"Blood rain falls from the sky evoking the sorrows of the land... the spirit of the hollow has died..."
Ye Shuhua's face turned ashen at once, "If he was merely subdued, this wouldn't happen... Indeed, it was a brawl between the sages..."
Those below the Prominent Divine dream masters were merely nobodies, she obviously had no confidence in surviving.
"You forgot the most important thing! Once the spirit dies, what will happen?"
Fang Yuan clenched his teeth.
"The hollow will disintegrate?!"
Once Ye Shuhua spoke, an earthquake more than ten times stronger than the previous ones could be felt.
Furthermore, this time around, not only did the lands crumbled, space too!
The obliterating storm began to brew in the hollow.
Space was shattered into pieces as pieces of land was being thrown into the storm of chaos.
"Dead, we are so dead!"
Ye Shuhua despaired as she looked at such a scene.
"There is actually a solution..."
Fang Yuan stared into the fathomless void and he had an idea, "We can't wait for this entire land to be ripped apart by this space obliterating storm! We have to jump out first!"
"You are saying... true form dream traverse?"
Ye Shuhua was clever, she immediately understood.
"Indeed... if this was like the usual, once we dream traverse with our true form, if there were no coordinates of other realms nor protection from rare treasures, we would be turned into powder! Whereas this Changli Mountain Hollow is different since it is not a realm but a part of Da Qian Empire, there is a huge possibility that we would be sent to Da Qian. I think there's a 70% chance of success that is worth a gamble!" Fang Yuan rapidly suggested.
The hollow was crumbling, they would have died if they stayed there. If they took the risk, they still had a chance of survival.
"I guess that's the only way!"
Ye Shuhua clenched her teeth, "We'll do it together!"
"Of course..."
With the protection of the sword essence, Fang Yuan also fully utilised his Golden Metal Body as they went against storm and arrived at the verge of the land.
At that moment, the boiling lava had already disappeared. What was left was only the silver coloured storm.
Rocks, water currents and even living things were all sucked into the storm. The destruction left behind an eerie silence.
"We must avoid the closest storm and throw ourselves into the calmer void further away!"
Ye Shuhua hugged her sister and clenched her teeth.
As she was talking, a loud boom could be heard as the land they were on tremored heavily and separated away towards the void.
"There's no more time, hurry!"
Fang Yuan whipped out his sword and carved out a piece of rock. He and the Ye sisters rode on top of it.
"Huuu! Hruuuu!"
Pieces of this huge rock melted away as it met the storm.
Fang Yuan held the sisters tightly as he suddenly jumped and turned into a stream of sword radiance. He dashed across the storm quickly and entered the dark space.
Immediately, a terrifying force surged and torn apart the three of them. It was like a powerful torrent which caused them to be unable to control their own bodies.
In an instant, the three of them were separated inside the turbulence.
"The void's turbulence is indeed horrifying, it is a totally different feeling from what an elemental clone would experience..."
Fang Yuan felt the weightlessness and as he felt powerless inside the void, it made him clenched his fist and thought, "One day... I will make sure even this void cannot restrict me!"
Moments later, a powerful force could be felt.
He opened his eyes wide and saw a golden meteor entered the void rapidly.
"That's..."
Inside the golden radiance, there was a Golden Horned Wing Tribe member which had four pairs of golden wings.
"Two pairs of wings was equivalent to an Illusionary Divine dream master at the 4th Tier... then this winged beast?"
Fang Yuan's hair stood at once.
However, this member of the Golden Horned Wing Tribe did not bother about Fang Yuan at all. It was using all its strength to flap its wings and fly away, it was as though it was escaping from being killed.
"You... can't escape!"
All of a sudden, Fang Yuan saw a jade white finger chased into the void too.
There was only one finger, however, it was akin to a sculpture that was beautifully carved out of jade. Its might was fearsome, it even caused the void's turbulence to retreat.
This was evidently one of the jade white hand's finger. However, he did not know why only one finger was left.
"The treasures left behind by the sage cannot be taken by the evil demons!"
As the Golden Horned Wing Tribe member hollered, its facial expression was even more resolute and determined.
"It's useless!"
The jade white finger shook lightly and appeared right in front of it.
"Die!"
Even the void's turbulence moved aside as the powerful force resonated.
"Ahh... I will fight till the end!"
The Golden Horned Wing Tribe member howled. The horn on his head was lit in golden flames and its whole body turned translucent as a beam of light emerged.
"You..."
Suddenly, a shocking explosion could be felt.
Even though Fang Yuan was not at the epicentre, he spat out a mouthful of blood at once, "Perish together? Wait a minute..."
He thought of something and immediately took out the water dragon's pearl. As he focused his elemental force into it, a green coloured water dragon appeared.
After the explosion, a mysterious glow that appeared tried to escape out of the void. However, due to the influence of the pearl, it entered the water dragon's pearl and stayed there.
"It's successful!"
Fang Yuan was relieved, however, he was immediately thrown deeper into the void's turbulence…...
