Chapter 2404 - 2405: Dragon of the Earth Veins

Yang Fei smiled bitterly, gazing at the enormous city seemingly suspended in the air, feeling a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps within that hanging city, he could gain some rewards.

Otherwise, this trip might have been in vain.

Yang Fei looked at the western sky, silently contemplating the floating city.

The other cultivators also awoke from their daze.

Everyone gazed at the massive city in the sky, their mouths agape in wonder.

A Sun God cultivator approached Yang Fei sincerely.

"Master Yang, forgive me, but we should work together and explore the floating city to see what it hides."

Yang Fei nodded, leading the way, saying calmly.

"I agree to cooperate, but here's the ugly truth: if anyone doesn't listen, don't blame me for abandoning a companion."

"This place is very dangerous; if you can't control your greed and bring disaster to yourself, it's your own fault, but dragging everyone else down is unacceptable."

The Sun God cultivator nervously turned around and cast a harsh glance at everyone.

"Did you hear that? From now on, anyone who doesn't follow orders and acts on their own, Master Yang might ignore you, but I certainly won't let you off easily."

"You all saw what happened earlier; this concerns everyone's lives. Don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes."

Out of the twenty or more cultivators, seven or eight had died, leaving only about ten.

Recalling the dangers faced at the Magical Beast Tomb, everyone loudly agreed.

Yang Fei and his group proceeded forward.

The sandy beach was extremely difficult to traverse.

However, for the cultivators, it wasn't a major problem.

But the scorching heat was unbearable.

This scorching sensation didn't affect the body directly, but felt like hellfire burning souls and divine thoughts, extremely powerful.

Fortunately, everyone present were Great Spiritual Masters, able to endure the agony.

If it were ordinary people, their souls might evaporate in an instant.

The closer Yang Fei got to the aerial city, the more intense the heat felt.

The floating city resembled a giant sun.

Though it didn't burn, it constantly emitted fierce heat, scorching souls.

At this moment, Yang Fei's Divine Thought suddenly sharpened, sensing a powerful hostile aura rapidly approaching.

"Be careful!"

He shouted, instinctively shielding the Fire-Swallowing Tribe's Little Princess, his body ascending like a rocket.

Boom!

The ground where Yang Fei stood suddenly erupted.

Sand scattered everywhere, and a massive head appeared, its mouth wide open.

One unsuspecting cultivator was swallowed by the giant mouth, disappearing instantly.

The cultivator's form was buried under the rolling yellow sand, with faint explosive sounds emanating from the ground.

The Wutu Divine Thunder underground detonated, blowing the cultivator apart.

Yang Fei, watching from above, saw clearly.

That massive magical beast wasn't flesh and blood but constructed from rolling sand, resembling a dragon.

Grains of sand shimmered with yellow light, spreading like a tide to attack cultivators.

Cultivators soared into the air to evade the attack.

From above, the rolling sand waves formed a fierce dragon-shaped monster.

Suddenly, the monster leaped over ten meters from the ground, aiming to devour a cultivator in the lower sky.

The cultivator was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, barely resisting the heat, struggling to fly.

He never anticipated the dragon-shaped monster would rise from the ground to attack.

Panicking, the cultivator tried to escape higher.

But at that moment, the dragon-shaped beast's mouth spewed a waterfall-like sand wave, forming a sandstorm that engulfed him.

Hit by the sandstorm, the cultivator fell like a broken kite.

His screams emanated from the sandstorm.

"Save me, save me! I don't want to die!"

The other cultivators were terrified.

This wasn't a demonic beast, but its sand refinement and Wutu Divine Thunder creation were more frightening than any demonic beast.

Just then, a figure cut through the sky at an angle, unfolding Wind and Fire Wings.

He grabbed the cultivator with his left hand, immediately flying higher.

Everyone saw it was Yang Fei.

Yang Fei carried the Fire-Swallowing Tribe's Little Princess on his back, saving the cultivator's life, then quickly sped away.

"Quick, everyone, this is the Dragon of the Earth Veins."

The group was horrified.

The Dragon of the Earth Veins was also called Dragon Veins on Earth.

Legend says Dragon Veins gather the Earth's utmost Yang and mighty Dragon Qi.

Ordinary people who obtain it and are buried within bring royal destiny to their descendants.

However, now the Dragon Veins cultivated Divine Thought and Divine Skills, which is astonishing to hear.

Seeing its catch stolen midway, the underground Dragon of the Earth Veins was furious.

Numerous sand pillars shot skyward, swirling towards airborne cultivators with rolling storms.

Boom, boom, boom!

The explosive sounds erupted, countless sand pillars rose, then scattered down.

The faintly visible massive head of the underground Dragon of the Earth Veins lifted, gazing at the sky.

Everyone flew higher to dodge, trembling with fear.

Yang Fei flew to the sky, letting the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator down.

A disk-shaped magic artifact appeared beneath him, standing in mid-air, deeply grateful.

"Thank you, Master Yang, for saving my life. I, Shen Ping, cannot repay you even if I die a thousand times."

Yang Fei's eyes locked onto the underground Dragon of the Earth Veins, casually pushing the little girl towards Shen Ping.

"Your name is Shen Ping? Help me take care of this little sister; I'm going to slay the Dragon of the Earth Veins."

Shen Ping was shocked, urgently grabbing Yang Fei, pleading.

"Master Yang, be careful! The Dragon of the Earth Veins is huge, its true form hidden somewhere, and it releases Wutu Divine Thunder, extremely formidable."

Yang Fei smiled gently, calmly replying, "Don't worry, I have Divine Skills to subdue the Dragon of the Earth Veins."

As he spoke, he let out a long howl, retracting the Wind and Fire Wings, and dove towards the Dragon of the Earth Veins like a meteor.

The Fire-Swallowing Tribe Little Princess behind Yang Fei shouted loudly, "Big brother, be careful!"

Yang Fei, hearing the girl's voice filled with worry and deep affection, felt touched.

"This little girl has a good heart."

Everyone saw Yang Fei rushing towards the Dragon of the Earth Veins instead of retreating, and they were startled.

Though Yang Fei possessed great Divine Skills, the Dragon of the Earth Veins took advantage of the location, charging down was nearly suicidal.

At this moment of shared adversity, everyone couldn't help but worry for Yang Fei.

He was the strongest among the cultivators; any mishap would make the journey even tougher.

Under the anxious, fearful gazes, Yang Fei revealed the Sky Wolf Demon Blade.

From the blade edge, a blood-red eye appeared, shooting a red light that targeted a particular spot in the sandy ground.
