The space in front of him was no longer dark. A 10 metre thick circular pillar stood in front of him, reaching all the way to the top of the space. The pillar was made of some unknown material, and it gave off a faint light. Although the light was quite weak, it was enough for him to see.
In front of this gigantic pillar, there was a gigantic black shadow.
Its body was completely black, and under the dim light, it gave off a metallic lustre. Its head was facing Ling Chen, and it had a lizard-like mouth. There was a half metre long horn at the tip of its mouth, and 2 incredibly sharp teeth protruded out of its mouth. On its head was a 2 metre long jet-black horn, and on its back were 2 black bat-like wings that hung down. Its abdomen was also jet-black. Its front claws, which were half covered by its body, had iron-like nails. Behind it, there was a conical tail that was at least 10 metres long on the ground. At this moment, it was evidently in a deep sleep, and its thick and even breathing caused Ling Chen's eardrums to ring.
What … was this creature?
Although it was in a deep sleep, the pressure it gave off made Ling Chen feel as if he couldn't breathe. For it to be like this in a deep sleep, it was evident how powerful this creature was.
Ling Chen held his breath, and told Little Gray to try and obtain its information. As Little Gray's horn flashed with light, incomplete information about this gigantic creature appeared in Ling Chen's mind.
[Evil Black Dragon]: Type: Ancient Beast, Grade: Mysterious God, Level:????. One of the 10 Ancient Beasts of the East Ocean Continent. It is incredibly powerful, and has a greedy and bloodthirsty nature. It has brought countless disasters to the East Ocean Continent, and was heavily injured by the Moon Deities. Because of its fear of death, it submitted, and has been obedient ever since. Afterwards, it was ordered by the Cherry Blossom God Representative to become the Sunrise City's Guardian Beast, and has never left the Sunrise City's City Lifeline.
Passive Abilities:???? Attack Skills:???? Ultimate Skill:???? Weaknesses:????;
Goddamnit, an Ancient Beast!
Ling Chen gulped … the gigantic creature in front of him was actually a super Boss on the same level as Tao Tie! A main city's guardian beast! Other than the Saint Destroyer beasts, they were the peak existences! It was no wonder that even in a deep sleep, there was still such a frightening pressure.
However, to let a former vicious beast become the guardian beast of the city, wasn't it afraid that it would suddenly become ferocious one day? Or did the Moon Deities really have enough confidence?
Knowing the origin of this huge black creature, Ling Chen's heart was in his throat. He did not even dare to breathe loudly. For a fierce beast of this level, its spiritual sense must be terrifyingly sharp. Don't be fooled by the fact that it was sleeping soundly. As long as there was a slight abnormal sound, it would immediately be alerted.
By the way … wait a minute? Protect the Sunrise City's City Lifeline?
City Vein?
Ling Chen suddenly raised his head, looking at the huge pillar behind the Evil Black Dragon.
Could it be that the pillar was the Sunrise City's City Lifeline? And this space was where the Sunrise City's City Lifeline was?
The City Lifeline was the natural lifeline of a city. In the Mystic Moon world, the natural and order elements were incredibly dense and active, at least 10 times more than on Earth. The high density and activity of the elements caused the creatures in the Mystic Moon world to be far more powerful than creatures on Earth, and their lifespans were also much longer. However, this wasn't without its drawbacks. The drawbacks were that the elemental disasters were frequent and violent. Water disasters, fires, tornadoes, lightning strikes, earthquakes … no matter if it was the frequency or intensity, they were all more than 10 times greater than on Earth. The power of nature was something that humans could not resist, and main cities and Royal Cities were at the heart of the human world, so they could not be frequently destroyed. As such, every city of a certain size would have a City Lifeline, especially main cities and Royal Cities. The City Lifeline's purpose was to balance the elemental elements within a city … to put it more bluntly, it absorbed the overly active elemental elements in order to prevent elemental disasters from exploding out.
However, it only absorbed them, and not destroyed them. In that case, if a city's City Lifeline was destroyed, all of the accumulated and active elemental elements would explode out. This was equivalent to the natural disasters that had been suppressed by the City Lifeline exploding out at the same time, which would be a true disaster for the city. As such, a city had to have a City Lifeline, and the City Lifeline had to be powerful to the point that it could not be destroyed. In the Mystic Moon world, the main cities and Royal Cities' City Lifelines were all fused with the power of the Moon Deities, and were indestructible. At the same time, there would usually be a powerful Guardian near the City Lifeline. Some were humans, some were beasts, and some were even Moon God Representatives personally guarding the City Lifeline.
Similarly, a City's City Lifeline would be hidden incredibly well, and would have powerful defences. Moreover, it would not allow any creatures to come close.
Ling Chen never thought that the place he had entered out of curiosity would be where the Sunrise City's City Lifeline was located.
Looking at the gigantic pillar behind the Evil Black Dragon, an evil expression appeared on Ling Chen's face … the Sunrise City had most likely existed for a very long time, so the elemental storms within the City Lifeline were most likely quite terrifying. If he destroyed this City Lifeline … the scene would be incredibly beautiful.
Of course, he could only think about it. If the City Lifeline could be destroyed so easily, the main cities and Royal Cities would not have existed for so many years. Even if he stood in front of that pillar and hacked at it for 100 years, he would not be able to harm it at all. What's more, there was a terrifying beast that was on the same level as Tao Tie in front of the City Lifeline!
Little Gray did not move, and did not dare to move forwards. Without a doubt, the Evil Black Dragon gave Little Gray a great sense of danger. The light on its horn continued to flash, and it was flashing incredibly quickly. This frequency meant that Xiao Hui was not more than fifty meters away from the target treasure.
Looking around, apart from the Evil Black Dragon and that pillar, there was nothing else. In that case, where was the treasure that Little Gray sensed? Could it be behind the Evil Black Dragon, where he could not see it?
Just as Ling Chen was about to move forwards, Qi Yue's voice sounded out in his mind, "Little master, what is this place?"
"Below the Sunrise City, where the City Lifeline is located. There's a guardian beast, the Evil Black Dragon," Ling Chen quickly and succinctly replied to Qi Yue. From Qi Yue's voice, it seemed that he had just woken up, and did not know what had happened.
"City Lifeline?" Qi Yue was slightly surprised, then said in a soft voice, "Could it be that you've found the place that Su 'Er pointed to?"
"No." Ling Chen replied, feeling surprised that Qi Yue would ask such a thing.
"No? Then why is there a God Orb's aura here … and a very powerful aura at that! If I'm not wrong, this should be the most powerful one out of the 12 God Orbs! "
"… What?!" Ling Chen was so shocked that he almost cried out.
There … was a God Orb here?
"It's definitely the aura of a God Orb, but it's almost as powerful as a Saint Orb! Since I can sense it, it can't be more than 50 steps away from little master! Immediately search this place. If we can find this God Orb, little master's strength … will greatly increase! " Qi Yue's voice was filled with excitement. She now knew where Ling Chen was, and that the gigantic black figure in front of him was giving off a terrifying pressure that Ling Chen could not resist.
"Alright!!"
Ling Chen replied. He held his breath, but his mind was filled with excitement. The Gemini Orb, Sagittarius Orb, Cancer Orb, Pisces Orb and Virgo Orb all had heaven-defying stats, and all of them had greatly increased his strength. And now, Qi Yue was telling him that the most powerful God Orb was nearby … the most powerful meant that it was even more powerful than all of the God Orbs he had obtained!
Just how shocking were those attributes!!
"Little Gray, hurry and find it!"
The treasure that Little Gray sensed was definitely the strongest God Orb that Qi Yue had mentioned. After receiving Ling Chen's order, Little Gray, who did not dare to move forward under the Evil Black Dragon's pressure, began to bravely walk forward. His steps were very slow and light, clearly knowing the consequences of making the slightest noise.
Ling Chen carefully followed behind Little Gray. At the same time, his gaze swept across every corner of this place, his footsteps also extremely light. His ability to control his footsteps and aura could be said to be unparalleled in the world. After a few dozen steps, Little Gray arrived in front of the Evil Black Dragon, only five meters away from its huge head. After pausing for a while, Little Gray continued to walk forward, following the Evil Black Dragon's body to its side. He then stopped at its left claw, his pair of gem-like eyes staring straight at its left claw.
Ling Chen squatted down and tried his best to look in the direction that Little Gray was looking at … when he lowered his gaze enough, he saw a faint light under the Evil Black Dragon's jet-black claw, which was as big as his body. At the same time, the 5 God Orbs on the Lunar Scourge flashed with a silver light.
The most powerful God Orb that Qi Yue had mentioned was under its left claw!
The Evil Black Dragon's left claw was not flat on the ground, but was instead in a natural half-clenched position. From between its open fingers, Ling Chen could see the orb that gave off a silver light! There was no mistake. Its size, the light it gave off, as well as the Lunar Scourge's reaction, all proved that it was undoubtedly a God Orb that belonged to the Lunar Scourge.
He had searched far and wide for it, yet he had unexpectedly found traces of a God Orb in this place. This was inconceivable!
Ling Chen's heart beat wildly with excitement, but he also felt a headache coming on. From the state of the Evil Black Dragon's left claw, it seemed that the God Orb was not pressed down, so it shouldn't take too much effort to move it. Its claw was too big, and the gap between its fingers was wide enough for Ling Chen to put his arm in. However, if he did this, no matter how careful he was, he would definitely startle the Evil Black Dragon and this terrifying Ancient Beast.
Ling Chen fell silent for a while, and finally made up his mind … there was no other way, so he could only forcefully take it out with his hand. No matter what, he had to obtain the God Orb!
Ling Chen put away Little Gray and approached the Evil Black Dragon. He crouched down, his head almost touching its sharp claws. He then slowly stretched out his hand, his left arm going through the gap between its fingers … just as his hand was about to touch the orb, the Lunar Scourge in his right hand released a silver light … Moon Shadow activated, freezing everything apart from Ling Chen and the orb.
Ling Chen's speed suddenly increased, and he grabbed the God Orb with one hand. As he expected, he didn't need to use much strength before the God Orb was in his hand … if the Evil Black Dragon had used its claws to press it down, with its weight, even if Ling Chen was twice as strong, he still wouldn't have been able to take it out.
Obtaining the God Orb was so smooth that it felt unreal. Ling Chen didn't have time to look at its stats, and he threw it back into his bag. He then quickly took out a Spatial Orb … he had to immediately leave this place. Once Moon Shadow's effects ended, the Evil Black Dragon would definitely wake up. If he was targeted by it, it would be a big problem.
"Ding … you are in a sealed space, the Spatial Orb's power cannot take effect."
Ling Chen: "… …"
