HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 276 You Will Awaken the Wrong Person
The two Sovereigns behind Xing Miao immediately blocked him. One of them said coldly, “Hmph — do not seek your own death. We are from the Four Spirit Worlds, and this is the daughter of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Venerable. If you attack us, you will make enemies of our Four Spirit Worlds. Did you know that even an Immortal Soul Emperor must show respect to our Heavenly Majesty of the Four Spirit Worlds?
“Tsk tsk, so she is the daughter of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Venerable. No wonder he so spoiled the eyes. Alright, I will squeeze this girl's juice to dry and sell it to the Ten Kings Palace!” Tan Nie grinned.
If in the past, they might have been afraid of the people from the Four Spirit Worlds. However, the Immortal Hunt Competition was held by the Immortal Soul Emperor. If something were to happen, the Immortal Soul Emperor and the Ancient Tomb Divine Kingdom would be in charge.
"You talk too much!" Li Yu was impatient and pulled out his sword with a swish.
Xing Miao, who was furious after hearing Tan Nie's insults, had issued a token. It instantly turned into an enormous flaming vermilion bird. It was like the scorching sun that fell from the nine heavens, or the mighty waves formed by the heavenly flames that instantly drowned everyone from the Ghost Valley.
The explosion!
As the waves of flames surged, a loud explosion sounded. The enormous Vermilion Bird quickly turned into the ghost of a small Vermilion Bird that soared into the sky. It went round and round and disappeared.
As for the people from the Ghost Valley, they had already disappeared into thin air with two flying beasts. There was not even ashes left.
"Gosh, is the Vermilion Bird Token my father gave me that strong?" Xing Miao was shocked when he saw that he had actually burned a large group of people from the Ghost Valley to ashes with a single strike. He blinked in disbelief.
The Vermilion Bird Token his father gave him could instantly unleash an attack equivalent to the full strength of his Heavenly Majesty.
However, he had not expected to be able to burn so many Burial Earth experts to ashes. After all, the other party had experts of the Supreme Realm and the Sacred God Realm.
Moreover, they were protected by the aura of death in the Burial Earth World, so their strength could not be underestimated.
'It seems that Burial Earth creatures are more afraid of fire!' Xing Miao thought. If not, there is no other explanation. He was furious earlier and was unaware of Li Yu's lightning-fast sword attack.
The two Sovereign Realm elders were also shocked upon seeing this.
Although they had just seen Li Yu's attack, they could sense that Li Yu's attack had no fluctuations in magic power, nor did they see any traces of sword Qi or spells. It was as if he was casually slashing through the air with his sword.
Moreover, even if he were to use some sort of offensive method, it was impossible for him to make these people from the Ghost Valley disappear into ashes with his sword.
Hence, they could only believe that the Vermilion Bird Token had displayed incredible strength, or that the flame had an unimaginable restraining effect on the creatures in Burial Earth.
Of course, regardless of their thoughts, they still felt that something was amiss. It was just that they could not understand what was going on for a moment!
“Hmph, a bunch of ugly monsters who don't know their place. Now you know how powerful I am! Xing Miao clapped proudly. He had vented all of his anger now, and he felt great.
Li Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the arrogant Xing Miao. He probably really thought that he had killed everyone with the attack.
However, Li Yu did not bother to expose him. He withdrew his gaze and immediately flew forward.
“Hey, Young Master, why are you leaving again? Aren't you afraid of danger?” Seeing Li Yu leave again, Xing Miao's expression changed as she hurriedly chased after him.
The two Rulers looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They could naturally tell that their young miss liked the handsome man.
Moreover, they could vaguely sense that Li Yu was not simple. After all, they could not sense any aura or magic power on him. His cultivation seemed unfathomable, and he seemed to possess an overwhelming aura that no one dared to be underestimated.
“Young Master, wait for me. This Burial Earth creature will not let this go. It's too dangerous for you to go alone!” Xing Miao chased after him.
Li Yu suddenly stopped and turned to look at the indomitable Xing Miao. He was naturally aware that this girl liked him.
He's used to things like that. He has no choice. She's too charming and eye-catching.
However, he did not want to take a girl on vacation.
If he had never seen her help before, even though he did not need her help, it would be a good thing for him to help her.
Otherwise, he would definitely freeze Xing Miao on the spot and go alone.
“Nona, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need your help. I have something important to do, so let's split up here!” Li Yu said with a serious expression.
Seeing Li Yu had already explained that she did not want to be bothered, Xing Miao was disappointed. However, he couldn't bother her anymore because it was too rude.
Therefore, he could only sigh and say, “Alright! Careful, Young Master!”
Li Yu cupped his hands again before continuing flying forward.
"Eh, right, Young Master, I still don't know your name..."
Before Xing Miao could finish his sentence, Li Yu had already flown far away. He was too embarrassed to chase after her and ask, so he could only sigh in disappointment.
"I hope he doesn't face any danger!" Xing Miao whispered.
…
After separating from Xing Miao and the others, Li Yu sped up. This time, after he met the Burial Earth Spirit, he did not care about his intentions and killed him with a single strike without a word.
After all, he already knew that these people were basically here to hunt him down. No need to show mercy.
After flying for a long time, Li Yu finally approached the location of the Morning Bell.
However, right at this moment, a tolling bell resounded throughout the world, and a strange magic power seemed to spread out. Li Yu could even feel the power of heaven and earth gathering towards the source of the chimes chime.
'It looks like someone has found the Morning Bell!' Li Yu thought.
However, this is normal. After all, the various large factions had sent people here to quickly find the Morning Bell.
Moreover, the people in Burial Earth World might also be looking for him.
Hence, one would definitely find the Morning Bell before him.
Below them was an ancient tomb. In the center of the tomb stood a large bronze bell. It was like a large hall that exuded a strong and heavy aura.
“Sister Li, let's try again. We should be able to penetrate the domain outside this Morning Bell!” A middle-aged man in black armor said.
He was the ruler of the Desolate Ancient Family in the Heaven Mixed Immortal Realm — Sun Bingyuan.
As for the person he summoned as Brother Li, he was the master of another ancient family in the Mixed Heaven Eternal Realm — Li Changsheng.
The people here were from the Li and Sun families.
Initially, both families acted alone. However, after learning about the Eternal Hunt Competition for Burial Earth creatures, the two families decided to travel together for safety reasons.
They had not expected to be so lucky to find the location of the Morning Bell first.
However, they had no idea that the Morning Bell was not the first to be discovered, nor did they know that it had become a huge decoy as hunters hid in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
At this moment, a ghostly figure condensed from the stone tablets beside the ancient bell.
It was an old man with a wrinkled face.
He looked at the Li family and the Sun family and said in a low voice, “You shouldn't have come here! And don't touch those old bells. You will wake up people you should not have!
Everyone looked at the ghostly old man and their faces darkened. The old man's words were like alarm bells waking their greedy hearts, and a chill emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
Wake up someone who shouldn't be woken up?
Was there a terrifying existence suppressed under this bell?
They were well aware that many terrifying existences were buried and sealed in this Burial Earth, so they were scared for a moment.
If they truly awakened an unknown frightening existence, they might have to pay with their lives.
However, just as they hesitated, human skin floated down from the sky like pieces of paper.
Immediately, the human skin began to expand rapidly, turning into a ferocious-looking phantom child. They were connected with a red line, creating a strange blood-colored barrier in the air that trapped the Sun family and the Li family.
At the same time, a strange man with a very old face like a big-headed baby crawled out of the ground with a sinister smile.
"Huh, we've already got our prey!"
This freak was the evil ruler of the Netherworld Divine Hou—Gu Tong.
This place was first discovered by the Patriarch Corpse.
After he broke through the array formation that hid the tomb, he had no time to admire the Morning Bell.
Unfortunately he meets the evil god Qing, who is also looking for the Morning Bell, and the evil ruler, Gu Tong.
They had killed the Corpse Patriarch and occupied this place. They want to use the Morning Bell as bait to attract aliens, kill them, and devour and purify their flesh, blood, and soul.
However, not long ago, the evil god 'Qing' was summoned back by Master Yin Si, so only this Gu Tong was left here. He did not expect the new victim would take the bait this fast.
"Oh no!" Li Changsheng's expression was ugly as a chill ran down his back.
"Patriark, what should we do?" Sun Bingyuan looked at his Holy Lord Patriarch.
"We're in big trouble!" The expressions of the Sun family ancestors were just as ugly.
The barrier set up by the human-skinned ghost children gave them an almost desperate threat. As for the big-headed baby in front of them, at least in the Sovereign Realm judging from its aura.
In this Burial Earth World, even if they encountered Burial Earth creatures of the same realm, their chances of winning were not high, let alone meeting an expert in the Sovereign Realm.
“Think of a way to break this barrier. Otherwise, we would all die here!” The orders of the Sacred Lord Patriarch of the Li Family.
"okay!" Everyone answered. They immediately circulated their magic power and used divine power to try to break through the barrier.
However, the demon child laughed out loud. Immediately, he formed a hand seal, and the surrounding human-skinned ghost children immediately became even more ferocious as they started attacking everyone in the barrier crazily.
The Li family and the Sun family were immediately seriously injured by the suppression of Gu Tong's barrier and siege.
The Ancestors of the various Holy Lord realms were pale as if they could not last much longer.
"It's almost time to end your pain!"
Gu Tong let out an ear-piercing creepy laugh before he took out eight talismans and a disc. The disc flew over the barrier and instantly turned into an ancient altar.
The talisman turned into eight zombie-like figures that floated around the altar.
In an instant, a strange power enveloped them. The chains shot out from the zombie mouth and directly pierced through the chests of the Li family and the Sun family, imprisoning them and starting to devour their blood essence mercilessly.
This time, the Li family and the Sun family were completely desperate. Under the double attack of this strange array formation and barrier, they could no longer resist.
However, the moment they thought they were going to die, the chains that had pierced through their bodies suddenly disappeared, and the forces that were restraining and suppressing them disappeared.
At the same time, a figure appeared on the altar.
He waved his hand, and the barrier as well as array formation below instantly disappeared!
