Chapter 681: Chapter 681: The Real Forbidden Area Creature, Quasi-Saint Xuan Zhong of the Celestial Clan
“`
Ancient fierce creatures kept passing through the teleportation gates.
They appeared to be of the Human Race.
However, they were at least three meters tall, with a crimson moon mark on their foreheads and red eyes that were eerie and terrifying.
They wore fur skirts and velvet clothes, resembling wild men.
The weapons in their hands were also primitive, some holding bone clubs, others long sticks, and some bamboo poles.
But these weapons were not weak at all!
Though they looked unimpressive, they were incredibly sturdy, on par with powerful Spiritual Treasures.
“So these monsters came from the teleportation gates!”
“Does that mean that they are indeed not native creatures from the Five Great Forbidden Zones and that we have been wrongly blaming the Forbidden Areas all these years?”
People from the Nine Great Holy Lands widened their eyes, their worldview fiercely challenged, unable to calm their feelings.
There was a time when people from all forces thought that all creatures within the Five Great Forbidden Zones deserved to die.
Every so often, ancient fierce creatures would emerge to slaughter, at best destroying many nations and causing the demise of countless creatures; at worst, even Four and Five-Star Forces were obliterated.
But since the Five Great Forbidden Zones all contained Saint Realms, the forces simply turned a blind eye.
Some cultivators, filled with a sense of justice, would condemn the Forbidden Areas.
And some powerful cultivators would take the initiative to slaughter those ancient fierce creatures, even invading the Forbidden Areas.
Over time.
The Five Great Forbidden Zones went from being five ancient lands to forbidden areas, frightening to all who spoke of them.
But today.
The top cultivators of the Nine Great Holy Lands and Nine Great Mountain Ranges discovered that the ancient fierce creatures causing massive destruction were not native to the Five Great Forbidden Zones.
People like Xiao Cangtian and Wu Xuan, who were native to the Forbidden Areas, ended up carrying an undeserved burden for countless years.
“Why not explain?”
“If the chaos-causing ancient fierce creatures are not natives of the Five Great Forbidden Zones, why haven’t you taken action to annihilate them?”
The people from the various forces were puzzled and turned their gazes toward Xiao Cangtian, Wu Xuan, and other top powerhouses from the Five Great Forbidden Zones.
“Explain?”
“We disdained!
Xiao Cangtian said with his hands behind his back, “The native creatures from our Five Great Forbidden Zones have always been too proud to stoop to explaining ourselves to the outside world.”
“There was indeed a time when the native creatures of the Five Great Forbidden Zones would kill the ancient fierce creatures, but since we’ve been blamed, we stopped taking action,” said Wu Xuan, a son of the Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone.
“Indeed, a bunch of people who can’t see the truth deserve to be annihilated by the ancient fierce creatures,” added Xiao Cangtian.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and the others understood the situation.
It turned out that the infamous ancient fierce creatures that once caused turmoil in the Shenzhou Continent were not native to the Five Great Forbidden Zones.
And creatures like Xiao Cangtian, even though they bore infamy and misunderstandings, had indeed slain the troublemaking creatures in the past.
Unfortunately…
After the misunderstandings deepened, they could not be bothered to act anymore.
As a result, without the obstruction of the Five Great Forbidden Zones, the ancient fierce creatures invaded the Shenzhou Continent, destroying one prosperous civilization after another.
“Heeheehee!”
“There is actually a prosperous city here, which I had overlooked before. This time, it must be swiftly breached!”
“We, the Celestial Clan, should remain invincible forever!”
Just then, the void was torn apart.
Several Heavenly Emperor Level ancient fierce creatures appeared, baring their teeth in a cold and brutal smile.
Behind them, more and more ancestors from the Void Break Realm came, forming an imperial army of nearly a hundred people.
“Just five Heavenly Emperors dare to be arrogant here, I suppose you are tired of living?”
Bai Ji glared at those ancient fierce creatures, surprised that they had found the Cangqing Ancient City which was hidden by a large formation.
Rip!
The canopy of heaven was torn once more.
A towering figure wrapped in crimson thunder slowly walked out, holding a Crimson Giant Axe, with an oppressive aura bursting forth, making Xiao Cangtian and the others feel the pressure.
“A One-Turn Quasi-Saint!”
Ye Feng’s expression changed slightly.
He quickly activated his Eye of Insight.
[Name: Xuan Zhong]
“`
[Race: Celestial Clan]
[Rank: One-Turn Quasi-Saint]
[Note: Emerging from the powerful and mysterious Celestial Clan, this race has built a transmission point within each of the Five Great Forbidden Zones. They randomly open a transmission point every thousand years, slaughtering countless creatures upon their descent to the Shenzhou Continent and collecting various energies.]
“Celestial Clan… collecting energy!”
Ye Feng felt as if he had stumbled upon a massive conspiracy.
Could it be that some ancient force with a mysterious Saint Realm at its helm periodically invaded the Shenzhou Continent to collect energy, aiding its members in their assault on higher realms?
He unconsciously deduced this.
“I am Xuan Zhong, a special envoy of the Celestial Clan. You all have seen us of the Celestial Clan, why have you not kneeled down swiftly and presented your heads?”
Xuan Zhong, holding a giant axe, said coldly.
“Hahaha…”
The remaining powerhouses of the Celestial Clan also sneered viciously.
“Aren’t you ancient, violent creatures supposed to know nothing but slaughter? How come you possess such high intelligence?”
A certain top-tier Heavenly Emperor exclaimed in surprise.
Xuan Zhong looked up at the blood-red moon that had grown a hundredfold in the sky and sneered, “I can’t tell you that, after all, dead men don’t need to know too much.”
He raised his Crimson Giant Axe high and laughed madly, “Attack!”
“Kill!”
The remaining hundred-plus Void Break Realm members of the Celestial Clan struck out, aiming to crush the creatures in the other areas of Cangqing Ancient City.
“How dare you!” Xiao Cangtian erupted in rage.
His aura shook, and the terrifying might of a One-Turn Quasi-Saint burst forth. With a grasp of his large hand, he instantly crushed the hundred-plus Void Break Realm members of the Celestial Clan.
Boom!
They exploded in the sky, like a mist of blood.
In the blink of an eye.
The only powerhouse of the Celestial Clan left was Xuan Zhong.
He showed no anger over the fall of his subordinates, only a strong desire for battle.
“Now, the eternal Crimson Moon has fully descended, replacing the sun and hanging high in the sky for a long time. The Shenzhou Continent will inevitably be enslaved by our Celestial Clan!”
“Kill!”
Xuan Zhong roared, and in an instant, he devoured the blood mist of his fallen subordinates, his aura wildly erupting as if he was standing at the level of a Second Turn Quasi-Saint. His aura shook, and he sent everyone flying.
In mid-air.
Ye Feng waved his great sleeve, sheltering his disciples behind him.
“This place is dangerous, you all hide first.”
He clasped his hands together and the void behind him tore open, swallowing up the seven people except for Hu Feifei, protecting them.
“Now that the Crimson Moon is in the sky, and has grown a hundredfold, it’s extremely strange. What should we do?” Wu Xuan asked loudly.
“First kill this man!” Xiao Cangtian roared, charging forward.
Having broken through to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint and being a top-tier freak himself, Xiao Cangtian was not in the slightest bit afraid of Xuan Zhong, who had reached the level of a Second Turn Quasi-Saint with the power of his subordinates.
“Golden Dragon Breath!”
Xiao Cangtian exhaled a burst of golden breath from his mouth, tearing the heavens asunder, and in an instant, it struck Xuan Zhong, only to blow him back a hundred yards with no injuries on his body.
“A mere One-Turn Quasi-Saint, what can you do to me?”
Xuan Zhong laughed madly three times, swinging his Crimson Giant Axe to chop down. The terrifying power of Heaven and Earth bore down, and even someone as strong as Xiao Cangtian was sent flying, a huge wound appearing on his chest.
“So strong!”
The top powerhouses from the major forces changed their expressions.
Watching Xiao Cangtian being injured, Bai Ji’s face lost its color, and she shouted at the powerhouses of the major forces, “Why haven’t you made your move? What are you waiting for?”
The Son of Supreme Heaven Forbidden Zone, Wu Xuan, drew out the Emperor Sword, and the top powerhouses of other major forces also prepared to act.
“Stop! This man, I will personally slay!”
Xiao Cangtian shouted loudly, stopping all those who were ready to move. He clenched his fists, and a vigorous life force surged out, the wound on his chest healing at a visible rate.
Immediately following.
His body began to expand, transforming into a ten-meter-long Golden Dragon, his aura soaring tremendously. Even the Quasi-Saint Protectors of the major forces felt the pressure increase.
In the void.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei stood side by side.
The corners of their mouths lifted slightly, watching the battle with detached amusement.
