Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 321: Skyfall

Wei Huo could feel this terrifying aura as well. He could also feel that this terrifying creature was rushing toward him. To be precise, it was charging toward the giant beast at his feet.

Wei Huo had intercepted all the despair and fear during the Battle Royale. He had forcibly stolen the fear and despair of all the Atlanteans and created a terrifying monster.

He had planned to use the monster to kill his way to the bottom of the sea so that the higher-ups would understand what despair was.

However, he had not expected that the monster he had created would lure another monster out. It was a monster that the higher-ups of the seabed yearned for day and night, a monster that fed on fear and despair.

More than 350 Legendary creatures had been cultivating in seclusion for this giant beast, right?

Wei Huo did not know what the beast was, but he could feel its terror.

This aura was terrifying and powerful. Wei Huo recalled that when he had been in the Divine Realm, the God Annihilation Beast that had destroyed the Divine Realm had emitted such a powerful aura. Wei Huo still remembered its golden eyes.

That was why Wei Huo instantly understood what the Atlanteans were trying to do after sensing this aura. They were planning to gather 350 Legendary creatures to hunt a Mythical beast!

They had collected fear and despair to attract this giant beast. At that moment, the giant beast was about to appear!

Wei Huo controlled the monster under his feet and made it dive wildly. However, the deeper he dived, the closer he felt to the aura. It was as if a gigantic mouth that could swallow everything was approaching them.

The bottom of the sea was pitch-black, and all sorts of sounds could be heard. Fear filled the surroundings, as if a huge mouth was waiting for Wei Huo to deliver himself.

However, Wei Huo’s willpower was firm. No matter what he encountered, he could calm his heart and his mind. The monster under his feet was diving crazily. Its purpose was to reach the underwater world before the giant beast arrived and guide the more terrifying giant beast into the underwater world.

The giant beast was not something a Legendary could deal with. That aura was undoubtedly an aura that only a Legendary-level beast could emit. It was a real Mythical beast that had lived for countless years and witnessed endless history.

The giant beast fed on despair and fear. If it was hungry, it would flip over and create a terrifying tsunami to drown everything in despair. If it was thirsty, it would hit the bottom of the sea and trigger a huge earthquake to kill countless people and cause fear.

Wei Huo seemed to have guessed who it was, but he was not sure. There was only one thing he could do at the moment. He could dive as fast as he could and reach the deep sea and enter the underwater world.

At that moment, all the Legendary creatures in the underwater world had left their cultivation state. They had all left the volcano. The Soul Refining Water kept falling and piercing countless steel buildings.

The Soul Refining Water’s density exceeded that of steel even in its liquid state. However, this liquid fell with tremendous force and was enough to penetrate ordinary steel walls.

The Legendary creatures of the underwater civilization had appeared. More than 350 Legendary creatures were standing in the sky. Their auras were affecting each other and enveloping the underwater world.

The other Atlanteans in the underwater world knelt on the ground. The aura that was affecting them and becoming stronger shocked them. The 350-odd Legendary creatures were like 350 Gods. They stood in the sky and looked at the deep sea outside the protective shield.

Many of the underwater Legendary creatures walked the path of despair and fear. Many of them were prisoners who had been sent to this deathly game. However, by fighting and comprehending the aura of despair and fear, they had broken through the Epic stage and become Legendary creatures.

That was the reason the Atlanteans were creating deathly scenes at the bottom of the volcano. One, they wanted to collect despair and fear. Two, they wanted to create more Epic and Legendary experts. Three, they wanted to collect Soul Refining Water.

All the secrets had been revealed. This was the plan the Atlanteans had been preparing for years. However, why were they hunting this Mythical beast? Didn’t they know that they were courting death?

“It’s been 7,000 years. It’s been 7,000 years since I last saw it!” an old man said. He was hunched over, and his hair and beard were already white. A group of Legendary creatures surrounded him and formed an array with him as the core. It seemed like they were going to use this array to resist the Legendary beast.

The old man had said that he had seen the giant beast 7,000 years ago. This was enough to show that he had the strength of a peak Legendary creature. Apart from Wei Huo, only peak Legendary creatures could live for 7,000 years.

Besides, there were no mercury spots on the old man’s body. He looked almost no different from a land person. He was different from the other Atlanteans. The Atlanteans had evolved into another form because they had been living under the sea for a long time. However, the old man had maintained the appearance of a land person.

The old man continued speaking. “The plan succeeded. This is all thanks to Little Thirteen. He’s a very young and nice man. He became a Legendary creature in about 1,000 years. His speed ranks him in the top three in the history of the Skyfall Race. If I die, Little Thirteen will be the next clan leader of my race. We have to do our best to support him, as he is the only one who has the chance to reach the peak of the Legendary stage.”

The other Legendary-level experts replied that Little Thirteen, who the old man was talking about, was not there. He seemed to have been hidden by the old man.

The old man added, “Our race has 421 Legendary creatures. We will fight 357 Legendary creatures today. If we die in battle, we will have a chance to rise. If we die in battle, the other Legendary creatures will not hesitate. They will steal the energy of the inner core and leave this planet.”

The other Legendary creatures only nodded. No one dared to say no.

The old man looked around and said, “The first reason we killed this Mythical beast was to take revenge for the continent we lived in 10,000 years ago, which sank. The second reason was to kill this beast and use its body as a boat to build a void spacecraft. The third reason was to find the supreme divine weapon of our race that was swallowed by this beast. Therefore, none of you should let fear of death cloud your judgment.”

Most of the Atlanteans looked like they were ready to die, but a small number of people who had become Legendary because of the deathly game’s setting lowered their heads and had their own thoughts.

In the end, the old man said his last words. “I’ll say it again: We originated from the same ancestry as the land people. We’re all members of the Skyfall Race. People of the same race can’t kill each other. We can only unite. If I die, my race will extract nuclear energy from the planet and travel to the void. We have to bring them along. We can’t let them stay on this planet and wait for death.”
