Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 696 - Heaven’s Wail

Edited by Ea

“Heaven’s Wail is a major catastrophe.” Another clan elder frowned, obviously not trusting Lin Zhan’s words very much. “If a major catastrophe is coming, the Prophet Clan will certainly give a hint. Otherwise, how would they have the face to be one of the Divine Clan?”

“The Prophet Clan?” Lin Zhan couldn’t help sneering, “Decades ago, the main line of the Prophet Clan was ordered to divine the fate of a Qianyuan Dynasty heir who was ranked towards the front. They had already suffered the backlash from the Dao of Heaven and couldn’t recover for several years. If the disaster fell from the sky, there would naturally be a sign, but if it was man-made — heh, it would look like what’s happening now. What’s more, it’s not like Esteemed Lan Yue did not warn everyone. He sent letters to all Divine Clans one by one, calling on them to gather at the Daoist sect to discuss the issue of driving away evil spirits. However, who believed his words? There are many people who uttered jokes behind his back and satirized secretly.”

Xuan Wushe glanced at Lin Zhan. “What are you wasting your breath for? The disaster is approaching. Let’s get those people out of there first and talk about other things later.”

Before the words fell, Xuan Wushe flew towards the center of the vortex that was still blowing with black mist. Like a goshawk, his cloak was open, and his whole body was surrounded by fierce wind. He scattered the black mist surging from the vortex. It looked like Xuan Wushe’s figure was about to disappear into the vortex.

Suddenly, the black smoke condensed even faster, and it turned into a black dragon in the blink of an eye. With the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, it roared violently, and its entire body rushed straight towards Xuan Wushe.

Xuan Wushe made a sword seal with his right hand, and a teal lotus radiating sacred light wrapped around him, slashing the black dragon through the waist.

The people underneath made nervous and terrified noises. Many of the sect powerhouses and clan elders who were invited to witness the birth of the next Dragon Emperor had also returned to their senses. They would never sit and wait for death and encouraged their own disciples to assume fighting stances, waiting for a chance to attack.

Xuan Wushe flipped over while holding his sword and cut towards the incorporeal black dragon thousands of times larger than his own body. After a few slashes, the black dragon was scattered into several pieces.

Before the pieces could merge together again, Xuan Wushe cast another spell and enveloped it with a large golden-teal sword Qi net.

With a deafening scream, the black dragon without horns gradually turned into black mist and dissipated, drifting in the air.

Everyone here was shocked.

After Xuan Wushe killed the black dragon, he continued flying towards the vortex, but the whirlpool seemed to realize that Xuan Wushe was too powerful, so it suddenly shrank into a ball.

Xuan Wushe slashed his sword and shouted, “Break!”

The ball was forcibly torn open again.

Suddenly, strong winds erupted, and a heavy snowfall came. Some of the snowflakes condensed into balls of ice and some into icicles, which shot forth from the crack in the sky.

Lin Zhan’s eyes became cold, and he shouted, “Hurry up and defend! Those things can hurt people!”

Everyone took out magic weapons and cast spells in an attempt to block out these evil things falling from the sky. The sound of banging and slamming continued, and the scuffle below became a chaotic scene.

Lin Zhan was being protected by Zhuang Xinglan, his personal bodyguard. Zhuang Xinglan blocked those sharp falling icicles that were as big as small children, so Lin Zhan merely stood in place and looked solemnly towards the broken sky. Lin Zhan clenched his left hand tightly.

In the crack, the black mist was spreading, the purple Qi leaked out, and the evil Qi was everywhere.

“What’s that?” Zhuang Xinglan sent dozens of icicles flying. Suddenly looking back, he saw a monster condensed into a dark shadow emerge from the crack.

“Evil spirits.” Lin Zhan said, “The evil spirits of Heaven’s Wail have already formed.”

Zhuang Xinglan was shocked. He gradually squeezed the weapon in his hand and pursed his lips. “Your Highness, I’ll go and kill that thing!”

Lin Zhan refuted, “No need, you can just stand beside me. You can’t kill that thing.”

“Can’t kill it?” Zhuang Xinglan was stunned.

Those evil spirits emerged from Heaven’s Wail one by one and slowly solidified into tangible entities. They were naked monsters with long slender limbs, smooth skin, and human faces, but they didn’t have any hair.

“What’s that?”

“Monsters are flying out of the crack. Kill them quickly!” Someone shouted.

Half of the people who were blocking the falling icicles turned to kill the evil spirits. However, they were too far away, and most of their attacks lost power before it could even reach the monsters.

The hornless black dragon who blocked the sun hovered in the air, motionless. Its body was coiled up. The sky was heavy and the cold wind was howling. Evil spirits stretching their bodies squeezed out one by one, making sounds that human beings could never make. They rushed down from the air at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!

“Wushe!” Lin Zhan suddenly shouted.

Originally, Xuan Wushe had already cut an opening through the entrance that would allow only one person to pass through, but he too saw the scene outside.

He made a decision almost instantly. He withdrew his sword, allowing the entrance of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land to be completely closed, and then wiped the blade with his left hand, letting the blood drip down the sword.

The man held his sword and turned into a ray of teal light, hitting the evil spirits head-on. There was the sound of massive roaring incessantly scattered through the air. With the power of one person, Emperor Xuan slashed dozens of evil spirits into black smoke.

Someone wanted to go up to help, but Lin Zhan admonished, “Don’t go up and add trouble!”

The young man was startled. Although he was unconvinced, he didn’t dare to say more because of the prestige of the East Empress.

Seeing that Xuan Wushe killed them so easily, the Dragon Queen thought that those evil things only looked strange and powerful, but in fact they were actually really weak, so she said to the Dragon Emperor, “Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Longyao family. If you’re only watching the Eastern Sovereign doing something, when this matter is over, I’m afraid that others will look down on you, the Dragon Emperor!”

The Dragon Emperor glanced at his own Dragon Queen, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes. Even at a time like this, she was still worried about power struggles — truly, only this Dragon Queen of his could do something like that.

He nodded gently. “What you said is quite reasonable.”

The Dragon Empress was delighted, but then she heard the Dragon Emperor say, “Father-in-law, besides me, you are the one with the highest cultivation in the Longyao family. I will keep guard down below and need to stay still. Go and help the East Sovereign.”

“Your Majesty!” The Dragon Queen was shocked.

Longyao Wuji’s complexion changed slightly. Under the gaze of everyone, he didn’t dare to refuse. He reluctantly flew towards the air.

Longyao Wuji’s cultivation had already reached Earth Realm’s Major Perfection Stage. According to reason, these evil things shouldn’t be his match. However, when Longyao Wuji used his Lightning Palm to hit the evil thing in the head, he found that the evil spirit passed through his attack perfectly intact and rushed back directly at him.

It grabbed his head and body with its hands and feet, opened its big mouth wide, exposing two rows of fangs, and twisted his head off with a sudden turn of its hands.

“Elder Wuji!”

Blood sprayed from the air, mixed with ice and snow, and scattered all over the land. The Dragon Queen’s eyes were cracked.

“Ahhh!” She screamed and fainted.

However, the Dragon Emperor turned to look at the paralyzed Dragon Queen on the ground with a bit of disgust and a bit of pity. He gently raised his lips and said something only he himself could hear, “If you do lots of unrighteous things, you will self-destruct.”

Zhuang Xinglan swallowed hard and resisted the impulse to hide behind Lin Zhan. “W-What the hell is that? Can His Majesty deal with them, all by himself?”

“These things aren’t that powerful yet.” Lin Zhan inadvertently blocked Zhuang Xinglan behind him, but his eyes remained motionless. He stared at Xuan Wushe, who was still killing evil spirits near Heaven’s Wail. “The powerful things haven’t actually come yet.”

Zhuang Xinglan, “…” He was about to pee himself from fright.

The Dragon Emperor narrowed his eyes lightly, cut his palm in the same way, and drew out a transparent staff carved from ice. The blood flowed down the staff. “I’ll help you!”

Amidst the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, there was a lot of silence.

Everyone only felt that something roared past them, bringing a burst of coldness and fear. However, before they could react, the gust of wind had already gone far away.

As they opened their eyes, the frozen sea surface appeared in front of them.

Many of the Dragon Clan disciples fell on this ice sea.

They looked around, or watched their fellow disciples warily. Many disciples who had a good relationship in the past, or had already agreed to get together, found each other to form a group.

“Is this the Dragon Tomb Holy Land? It’s a little different from what I imagined.”

“I heard before that there is a field of yellow sand raging in here, just like the Northern border. But unexpectedly, the environment is full of ice, my favorite thing.”

“Ah, you can’t even see the end. It’s much bigger than our dragon clan’s Crystal Lake! It’s so beautiful.”

“I just don’t know how to find the burial place of the Dragon God’s bones. It is said that if you find the burial place, you can get the inheritance of the Dragon God.”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t ignore the inexplicable feeling of palpitations just now. He was still holding Yan Tianhen’s hand. “Did you feel it?”

Yan Tianhen said softly, “I felt it. When I came in just now, there was evil Qi.”

Lin Xuanzhi, “Be careful.”

After looking around, Hai Kuanglang said to Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, “What were you whispering about just now? I don’t remember having been here. Every time the gate of the Dragon Tomb is opened, the location is different. I guess we’ll have to find our way for a while.”

Zhan Fengting looked back at Hai Kuanglang, “This should be the right hind claw of the Dragon Tomb. The place where the Dragon God’s bones are buried is in the heart of the dragon skeleton. The dragon head is facing the north, so we should be facing the northeast.”

Hai Kuanglang was stunned. “Shixiong, you know so much about this place. I didn’t even know about that.”

Zhan Fengting took Hai Kuanglang’s hand. “I used to live in this Dragon Tomb Holy Land for many years. Naturally, I know a little more than you… Let’s go.”

It was better for someone to know the way than to blindly stumble around.

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen followed Zhan Fengting to the northeast.

They don’t know how many years these ice layers had gone through and condensed into thick layers. Although they looked transparent, they were too thick to see what was covered underneath.

The reason why ice can be condensed is because the temperature is too low and there is also water.

Soon, the sky was covered with white snow.

The heavy snowfall even blocked people’s sight, making it hard to see the road in the distance.
