The Sovereign’s Ascension

Chapter 127

A huge commotion was created when the two palms came into contact, with dazzling radiance bursting out in the point of contact.

Rumble! Rumble!

The ground started to tremble within a hundred miles of radius, causing sand and rubbles to burst out. The cloud of dust blinded everyone.

Up in the sky, dense clouds overlapped together, casting dusk upon the region. The clouds covered a far range, which felt within reach if one just stretched his hand out.

The spiritual energy in the atmosphere began to stir chaotically, making it hard for people to absorb. This majestic phenomenon made everyone feel tiny, and everyone went on their knees. No one dared to utter a single word.

Lin Yun squinted his eyes at the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party, who stood towering within the chaos. They were like swords, who would rather break than to bow.

It was especially so for Bai Lixuan, who seemed to be trying to comprehend something from the two statues.

At the same time, Si Xueyi also stood upright with his eyes glowing.

On the other hand, the Wan Clan’s cultivators all hid behind their beasts. They could endure the immense pressure like the two clans.

“What a bunch of monsters…” Lin Yun was speechless. He had no idea where these people get their confidence. Perhaps this was what made the four clans unique.

Fortunately, the chaos did not last long. Otherwise, everyone would be too weak to enter the Azure Sun Realm. When the dazzling radiance from the two palms disappeared, a vortex was produced.

That was the entrance to the Azure Sun Realm!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two silhouettes soared into the sky at the same time when the entrance appeared and dove into the vortex. The two were Si Xueyi and Bai Lixuan, with the disciple of their sects following behind.

Rustle!

Shortly after, everyone dived into the Azure Sun Realm’s entrance.

“Brother Lin, you’re bringing your horse in as well?” Ming Hua asked with interest, looking at the Dragon Blooded Horse that had revealed its true form.

“Well, I’m just going to give it a try.” Lin Yun looked at the height of the vortex, which was nearly a hundred feet high. It would be great if he could bring the Dragon Blooded Horse in.

“It’s impossible for demonic beasts to enter the ruins. But if your Dragon Blooded Horse can enter, it will be a great help. But I’m afraid not many mounts can bear the vortex’s immense pressure.” Ming Hua spoke enviously.

As he spoke, the Radiant Pavilion’s party had finished their preparations. Cupping his hands together, Ming Hua looked at Lin Yun, “I’ll take a step first. Let’s meet again inside.”

Lin Yun was stunned when he noticed that the old man had also followed in, but that also meant that the old man wasn’t a Profound Martial Realm like he’d guessed.

Then the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm? It was also doubtful they could enter. After all, it would be dangerous if they died in the vortex.

“What is the Radiant Pavilion planning by taking such a huge risk? Anyhow, it’s time for me to go in as well.”

By now, more than half of the cultivators had already entered. There was no meaning for him to wait, and it would only mean a waste of time.

Lin Yun found a hill closest to the mountain and charged at the vortex, riding the Dragon Blooded Horse. As the Dragon Blooded Horse accelerated, its four hooves blazed, and lightning flickered on its horn. When it came near to the vortex, the Dragon Blooded Horse jumped.

They only realized that the vortex was larger than he had imagined when they got close, pulling the two of them in. When they entered the vortex, they would sense violent energy crashing down on their bodies.

And before they could even react, they were thrown out by that force like rags. In the end, the two of them were separated and thrown onto the ground like sandbags.

When Lin Yun fell onto the ground, he slapped his palm on the floor to stabilize his figure.

Boom! Boom!

A few cultivators, who Lin Yun had no idea if they were too weak or careless, but they were heavily injured from their fall, groaning out in pain. Just from this fall, their opportunities had come to an end.

“Reddie?” Lin Yun looked around before he found the Reddie at a mountain top far away.

Lin Yun did not need to worry about the Dragon Blooded Horse’s safety. This fellow had thick skin, so it did not suffer any injuries. With the Dragon Blooded Horse around, he would have an unrivaled advantage in speed. If Lin Yun had encountered trouble, Lin Yun could run away even if he couldn’t fight. But now, they were temporarily separated.

“And I was still hoping that you can help me.” Lin Yun smiled helplessly and began examining the surrounding.

Looking at the massive desolate place that smells of ancient aura. When he looked around, everyone was examining their surroundings just like him. Lin Yun fell into thoughts when he swept his glance out at the Xiantian Realm cultivators around. They should all be transported to a different land.

Some unfortunate ones were impaled by sharp rocks when they fell.

“Isn’t this secret realm the ruins of the ancient sect? Why can’t I sense anything…”

“What luck, we must’ve been thrown too far away. I’m afraid that we’re not even near the borders.”

“Let’s move out! If we’re too slow, we will have no luck with the treasures.”

Everyone in the surrounding was cursing and began to run, dashing past Lin Yun. Looking at them, Lin Yun knitted his brows together. Was it a good idea to treat it so lightly?

Poof!

The ground trembled, and a dessert appeared before them. Those who had just run out fell into the quicksand and started yelling for help.

As bodies sank, only traces of blood were left behind that once proved their existence.

“A demonic beast who can control quicksand?”

Many demonic beasts could control quicksand, but this scene was a little too terrifying that made Lin Yun’s face change.

At this moment, he realized that he couldn’t be careless!

If those people had jumped out when the quicksand appeared, they would be fine. Even if there were treasures, you needed to stay alive to enjoy them.

Calming himself, Lin Yun traveled forth. Whenever he noticed that the ground was soft, he would jump over it. When he jumped over the quicksand, he turned around to look at the ground.

Whoosh!

When the quicksand was formed, the head of a ferocious lizard popped out from the sand and stared at Lin Yun. Its eyes were flickering with a red glow.

However, Lin Yun did not fear. If that demonic beast dared to come out from the quicksand’s range, he would kill it.

The demonic beasts here possessed ancient bloodline, and it was practically guaranteed for them to have a beast core.

The Azure Sun Realm’s beast core was popular in the outside world, and it was a market with no supply. But a short moment later, the lizard burrowed back into the sand.

“What a pity.” Lin Yun sighed and continued his journey.

As an individual realm, the Azure Sun Realm was abnormally huge. Lin Yun was unlucky to be thrown to the border. Even after walking for two hours, he did not see any traces of ruins.

Lin Yun gradually felt oppressed, with this place telling him a tragic tale.

Along the way, he had also encountered many demonic beasts. However, none of them posed a threat to Lin Yun. On the contrary, he had harvested quite a few beast cores. As for herbs, only those above five hundred years old could attract his attention.

Two days later, Lin Yun rested on a mountain. He had been cautious along the way and even fought a few battles.

In addition to the unusual pressure in the Azure Sun County, Lin Yun was exhausted. He was close to the ancient ruins, so he decided to rest before continuing his search.

But even when he closed his eyes, he did not dare to be too relaxed and keep his alert.

Rustle!

Half an hour later, a commotion woke Lin Yun up from his cultivation. When he raised his head, he could see a massive patch of black crows flying across his head.

“Blackflame Crows!”

The Blackflame Crows were rare demonic beasts that feast on rotten meat. Their diet consisted of demonic beast’s corpses. The Blackflame Crows were fourth orifice demonic beasts individually, but the Blackflame Crows in the Azure Sun Realm were stronger than those outside.

However, they wouldn’t be too overpowered. The trouble was that they traveled in a flock, not to mention that they could fly. So they had no natural predators.

“Why are there so many Blackflame Crows? Did a powerful demonic beast die?” Lin Yun was tempted to follow. After all, the Blackflame Crows were known for their keen senses.

So many Blackflame Crows could mean that the deceased demonic beast was enough for them to feast upon. As Lin Yun imagined the scene of Blackflame Crows feasting on a demonic beast’s corpse, Lin Yun felt a chill down his spine.

“Let’s take a look!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed and followed the flock of Blackflame Crows.

He wasn’t the only one. Many cultivators noticed the Blackflame Crows as well.

“So many Blackflame Crows! Could it be that there’s a dead Profound Martial Realm demonic beast nearby?”

“Profound Martial Realm demonic beast can be killed?”

“Who knows. But if that’s true, then we’ll benefit greatly. We’re talking about a profound core here!”

The beast core for Profound Martial Realm demonic beasts was also known as profound cores. It was extremely valuable, and all Profound Martial Realm demonic beast would possess one for sure.

So if the Blackflame Crows were going for the corpse of a Profound Martial Realm demonic beast, the value was simply unimaginable. In the end, more people gathered, which they ultimately stopped before a barren mountain.

The mountain wasn’t high, but they could see the flock of Blackflame Crows hovering at the peak. Occasionally there would be terrifying lightning flickers in the clouds.
