Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God Novel - Chapter 316
Chapter 316: My Youth Is Over
The Chaotic Divine Region, Luohe Ancient City.
The appearance of the Dusk Drum and the Pan Emperor’s Void Sword made many people leave the ancient city to search for these two magic treasures in the Chaotic Divine Region.
However, there were still many people in the ancient city, especially on the bank of the Luo River. The heat of Fairy Luo He inviting people to the shore to cross the river had not dissipated.
Those infatuated with Fairy Luo He were still lingering here, waiting to witness her figure again.
As for those who yearned for the world on the other side of the river, they could only see everything through the fog.
The brothels and restaurants along the coast were still bustling with people. It was like the never-ending Luo River.
Of course, more people were paying attention to the rankings.
Magic Treasure Rankings # 11: Phoenix Parasol Zither
Magic Treasure Rating: Ancient Divine Artifact
Owner: Ji
Origin: Unknown
“Unknown origin?” Luohe Ancient City was in an uproar when they saw the owner of the Phoenix Parasol Zither on the latest rankings.
This was the first time an unknown origin had appeared on the rankings. Usually, even if they did not belong to a faction, they would belong to a world or country.
This unknown background suddenly revealed a sense of mystery.
Furthermore, this name was unusual. It only had the word Ji.
The word ‘Ji’ was both a surname and a form of praise for women.
…
They just did not know what it meant.
No one knew who this person was.
“I’ve never heard of this person!”
“That’s right. Although the Ji family is not a weak force in the Immortal Realm, this person’s background is unknown. It’s clearly not from the Ji family!”
“Mm, it should be a woman with the word Ji!”
“The last time such a strange phenomenon appeared seemed to be Li Yu’s reward.”
“That’s right, the reward is a secret!”
“Looks like it’s a ruthless character too!”
“It might be another hidden peerless expert!”
“But if this person is an expert, why has he never been on the Physique and Bloodline Rankings before?”
“Yeah, it feels strange!”
However, just as everyone was discussing the owner of the Phoenix Parasol Zither, there was a sudden commotion on the bank of the Luo River. Cries of surprise instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone looked over curiously, and their eyes revealed surprise as they rushed to the shore of the Luo River.
On the river, two peerless figures rode the waves over. They were so extraordinary and compatible, like a match made in heaven. It was pleasing to the eye and enviable.
“It’s Fairy Luo He and that person… Great Immortal Mi Lu!”
“They didn’t come by boat!”
“They’re coming over!”
“Fairy Luo He is so beautiful!”
Many onlookers instantly gathered by the riverbank, looking at everything in surprise.
This was the first time they had seen someone walk on the Luo River as if it was flat ground.
After Li Yu and Fairy Luo He arrived at the shore of the Luo River, they soared into the sky and flew into the distance together.
It only left a trace of fragrance and shock for the people by the river bank.
“Fairy Luo… Luo He has flown away!”
“She actually left the Luo River!”
“Could it be… that Fairy Luo He has really become his?”
“It’s over. Will I never see Fairy Luo He again?”
“My youth is over!”
Countless people who were infatuated with Luo He were heartbroken. They had never thought that Fairy Luo He would leave this river one day, nor did they expect to witness her and another man flying together…
In an instant, the entire shore of the Luo River fell silent. Countless people stood on the spot in a daze as if their souls had been emptied.
In the Chaotic Divine Region, the first batch of teams sent by the Gongshu family to find the Dusk Drum had accidentally discovered the location.
It was as if an earthquake had just occurred here. The surrounding ground was filled with giant cracks. All the trees in a radius of more than five kilometers had fallen, and only half of a mountain had collapsed.
On the half of the mountain stood a giant drum that emitted a faint golden glow. From afar, it looked like a sun hanging in the sky.
Not only that, but the power of heaven and earth in a five-kilometer radius was also normal. Their vision and senses were no longer disturbed here, and the fog that blocked their vision had dissipated.
This place seemed to have formed a vacuum with the Dusk Drum as the center.
At the moment, at the foot of the mountain, giant rocks were scattered around. A few immortal beasts were crawling at the foot of the mountain as if they were worshiping it.
“Our luck is too good!”
“Yeah, we actually discovered the Dusk Drum so quickly!”
The Gongshu family was thrilled. The Gongshu family’s Saint Realm expert, Gongshu Ling, led the way and rushed to the Dusk Drum.
His eyes were burning as if he had seen a goddess.
This was the first time he had seen a Supreme Artifact at such a close distance.
Gongshu Ling raised his hand as if he was about to touch his goddess. His trembling hand slowly reached for her…
In the end…
Thud!
With a single touch, Gongshu Ling was sent flying by an invisible force.
“As expected of a Supreme Artifact. It’s indeed extraordinary and arrogant!” Gongshu Ling was shocked, but he was not discouraged. Since they were so lucky to meet this Dusk Drum, they were clearly fated to meet.
This time, he used his magic power to control the Dusk Drum, but he was still rebounded by a force.
After that, he tried to bind it with his blood and refine it with his Essence Soul. In the end, all his methods were rejected by this arrogant drum.
“This…” Gongshu Ling had a headache. He could not control the Dusk Drum at all. He could not touch it or move it. What should he do?
‘Could there be some sort of restriction or domain power around this Dusk Drum? I have to break it first’, Gongshu Ling thought.
With this in mind, he immediately used his divine power to attack the Dusk Drum, wanting to break through the domain power that enveloped him.
However, his divine power was bounced back again.
Under the influence of this divine power, the mountain under the Dusk Drum continued to split open. Boulders kept falling off, vaguely revealing a shiny black jade-like object hidden inside.
“Sir, look, there seem to be words under it!”
Gongshu Ling immediately focused his gaze and realized that there seemed to be words on it. He immediately used his magic power to attack the mountain and remove the rocks covering it.
It turned out that there was a black stone tablet below the Dusk Drum. A row of large words was engraved on it.
Whoever sounded the Dusk Drum could have it!
“Does this mean that only by playing the Dusk Drum can one obtain its recognition?”
“Probably!”
“So that’s how it is!” Gongshu Ling had always felt that he was fated with this Dusk Drum and could definitely pull it.
However, what made Gongshu Ling despair was that neither his magic treasures nor his divine powers could move the drum at all.
Other than the sound of air being compressed and exploding, and the vibration of the stone tablet, causing the ground to tremble and emit muffled rumbles, there was no sound of drums at all.
Furthermore, he was struck by the attack reflected by the Dusk Drum, causing his face to turn pale.
Not only could this Dusk Drum reflect attacks, but the reflected attacks were also stronger than the ones he had used. If this continued, he would die before he could sound the drum.
…
