The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 286
Chapter 286 Ancient Dragon Court (9)
Such a grand move made one’s scalp go numb. The person who laid down this peerless grand formation must be a terrifying expert, right? Since this person had already discovered this Ancient Dragon Court, could he really obtain any useful treasures from it?
However, now was not the time to consider these questions, because they were still enduring the terrifying suction force beneath the abyss, and their situation was precarious.
“Ah–”
With a scream, Chang Wudi finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fell into the abyss.
“This time, I’m really doomed!! I didn’t expect that Chang Wudi would actually die in such a place! He died young!” She shouted, her hands and feet swaying about in the void.
Li Qing sighed and looked at Chang Wudi’s falling figure. She didn’t know how high this abyss was, falling from such a high place, coupled with the terrifying suction force accelerating her falling speed, even if she didn’t die, she would still be half crippled if she fell to the ground.
Of course, he couldn’t just watch her die like this. Although this fellow was a bit of a pit, it wasn’t too bad. At least he could save her.
Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision and jumped down. A cloud of Yin and Yang appeared beneath his feet and flew towards Chang Wudi, pulling her onto the cloud of Yin and Yang.
“Eh? What’s going on?” After stepping on the soft clouds, Chang Wudi’s screams instantly stopped. His mind was still a little confused, and he didn’t understand what was going on.
“I don’t need to die!” She came back to Earth God and cried with joy. She looked at Li Qing with a curious look in her eyes, “Who exactly are you? You can actually fly! What kind of treasure are the clouds beneath your feet?”
It seemed that she had treated the Yin Yang Cloud as a flying treasure.
Li Qing said expressionlessly, “Don’t ask me anything you shouldn’t know! If you ask me again, I’ll throw you down!”
Chang Wudi’s neck shrank, and he no longer dared to ask. Along the way, he had learned so many secrets about him that this fellow wanted to kill people and silence them time and time again.
Although there were Yin Yang clouds flying, the problem had not been solved. That huge attraction was still attracting them downwards. Li Qing could only try his best to withstand this suction force and slow down the descent.
“Activate your True Essence Body Protection to protect yourself. Try to minimize the impact when you land on the ground.” Li Qing shouted loudly and his expression became grim.
As the Yin Yang Cloud descended at a high speed, it flew down for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, with a loud “boom”, the Yin Yang Cloud landed heavily on the ground. Li Qing and Chang Wudi received a strong impact. Fortunately, they were protected by the True Essence and Yin Yang Cloud was at the bottom, so they didn’t suffer too much damage.
“Aiyo, it hurts!” Chang Wudi rubbed his aching legs and recovered after a while. However, Li Qing didn’t have too much of a problem. His physical body was extremely tyrannical. In addition, his Myriad Demon True Body’s recovery ability was extremely strong. This little pain wasn’t anything to him at all.
Just as they recovered, this terrifying attraction finally stopped. Only then did they have the chance to examine the situation at the bottom of the abyss.
The first thing that appeared in front of them was an unimaginably large object.
Many enormous ancient trees were piled up and stacked together, forming a huge nest. It looked simple and crude, but it was extremely grand and magnificent.
It was a bit like a bird’s nest, but its size had multiplied countless times.
It was so majestic that it was made of endless huge ancient trees. It was as tall and heavy as a mountain range. There were tens of thousands of large dragons roaming about, all of them formed from dragon qi.
“Could these big woods be the legendary True Dragon Ancient Wood?” Chang Wudi opened his mouth wide.
Within the nest, countless huge pieces of wood were wrapped in dragon qi. The surface was covered in mysterious dragon-shaped patterns, shining with a spiritual radiance. It was very similar to the legendary dragon wood. Thinking back to this place, which was the Ancient Dragon Court, the appearance of the True Dragon Ancient Wood was almost certain.
The enormous dragon nest made of ancient True Dragon Wood was simply too magnificent. It had not withered since the ancient times, but was instead filled with mysterious spiritual light. He didn’t know what kind of mysterious power it contained.
Thousands of dragon qi that resembled rivers constantly appeared and wrapped around the dragon’s nest, incomparably mysterious and magnificent.
The dragon wood was pitch black, and the entire nest was the same. It was ancient and crude, and there was a terrifying aura emanating from it.
“Can we take out these True Dragon Ancient Woods?” Chang Wudi’s eyes lit up and he almost drooled. This kind of wood was a precious material, almost imperishable. It contained the power of a dragon, and one of them was priceless.
“I have a faint feeling that there is a peerless array here. The ancient nest cannot be destroyed easily, and the dragon tree cannot be taken away. Otherwise, there will be a great calamity.” Li Qing said.
This dragon nest was a place where all dragon qi gathered. It absorbed the refined spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was profound and mysterious. It was completely linked to this ancient dragon court and could not be separated. If one moved the dragon tree recklessly, it might cause unpredictable consequences.
“Alright then!” Chang Wudi felt somewhat regretful, “I wonder what’s in the middle of the dragon nest?”
Because this dragon nest was too big, it blocked the situation inside. In addition, there were thousands of dragon qi wrapped around it, so it was impossible to see what was inside.
“I feel that the Dragon Nest is the core of the entire Dragon Court Array. Something incredible should appear there. Let’s go in and take a look!” Li Qing took a deep breath.
The two of them began to climb the dragon nest. The dragon wood was extremely large, each of which was ten zhang long. It was not easy for them to climb. They had to jump from one dragon tree to the other.
Since they did not move the Dragon Wood, they would not trigger the peerless grand formation here. There was no danger in doing so.
“Remember, don’t touch these dragon trees! Don’t even take off a bit of wood bark, otherwise we’ll be dead!” Li Qing warned.
He was truly afraid that Chang Wudi would suffer from the second illness again. He took out his spirit artifact and sword and secretly slashed it. At that time, he would be killed by her.
“Got it, got it! Do you think I look like such a stupid person?” Chang Wudi said impatiently.
The two of them continued to climb the Dragon Nest. Because the Dragon Wood was too large, there were many gaps between them. They did not need to climb to the highest point before going down. They only needed to pass through these gaps.
After about half an hour, they finally broke through this side of the dragon nest and entered the inner circle. At this time, there was no longer anything to stop them. He opened his mouth wide as he looked inside.
A heaven-defying True Dragon stood in the middle of the dragon nest, circling upwards. The dragon’s head was raised high, and its mouth seemed to contain a dragon pearl.
This True Dragon’s body was actually more than a hundred times larger than the remains of the True Dragon they had seen before! The black scales flickered with a black light, and a terrifying aura emitted, shocking the heavens and all worlds.
More importantly, this True Dragon’s body was actually intact, its body was still alive, and it did not rot at all! Unlike the True Dragon remains he had seen earlier, there was only one skeleton left.
This proved that the True Dragon in front of him was a True Dragon at the Demon God level! It was equivalent to a Dao Realm expert amongst humans! He could keep his body immortal, and time could not corrode it.
“What a terrifying True Dragon! Fortunately, it has already died for countless years!” The two of them felt this aura, and their foreheads started to sweat slightly. There was a terrifying pressure in their hearts.
They were like ants in front of a divine dragon. They were simply too small.
“Look, there seems to be something inside the True Dragon’s mouth!” Chang Wudi’s eyes were sharp, and he soon discovered something unusual.
“This is a rectangular object. I wonder what it is!” Li Qing also noticed, “This thing is actually contained in the mouth of a True Dragon. It definitely isn’t ordinary! Let’s go closer and take a look.”
They walked forward under tremendous pressure. Although the True Dragon looked like it was close to the dead horse, the distance between them wasn’t that close. The two of them walked slowly under great pressure and took a long time to reach the True Dragon’s corpse.
Looking up, they finally saw what was in the True Dragon’s mouth. This was actually a sarcophagus!
The two of them were so scared that their scalps went numb. What exactly was going on? The True Dragon actually had a sarcophagus in its mouth. Who would be so bold as to put the burial ground in such a place!
At this moment, a terrifying suction force suddenly came from the True Dragon’s mouth. Endless heaven and earth essence surged over. Countless True Dragon remains in the entire Dragon Court spat out all kinds of colorful lights. These lights gathered together and were all sucked into the True Dragon’s mouth.
These heaven and earth essence energies gathered in the True Dragon’s mouth, forming five-colored spheres of light that merged into the sarcophagus. The simple sarcophagus instantly seemed to have eaten a great tonic, and its brilliance flowed and shone brightly.
“All the energy gathered by the ten thousand dragons has fused into the sarcophagus. Perhaps this peerless array was set up by the owner of the sarcophagus to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and absorb it into the sarcophagus.”
“Why would the owner of the sarcophagus do this? It’s all in the coffin. It should be dead, right?” Chang Wudi was puzzled, “Since everyone is dead, why are you absorbing so much energy?”
Li Qing said, “Could it be that the person in the sarcophagus is not dead? Or could it be that he is waiting for a resurrection one day in the future?”
Once these words were spoken, the two of them were immediately shocked. If they hadn’t died yet, wouldn’t it be as simple as killing a chicken by the people in the sarcophagus?
They fell silent and didn’t dare to speak, afraid that they would wake up the people in the sarcophagus.
“Then what should we do now?” Chang Wudi lowered his voice to the minimum and said carefully.
“Take a closer look to see if there are any treasures in this place. Leave immediately after the search is complete!” Li Qing also whispered.
