Chapter 649 - Flood Dragon Grotto
Chapter 649 - Flood Dragon Grotto
Half a month later, deep within the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold microcosm.
The entire microcosm had become barren due to the withering of the spirit vein. Sandstorms were everywhere, and could often be seen sweeping through.
Some of these storms were so powerful that they could easily sweep away even Divine Nascent realm experts, tearing them apart midair.
The deeper one explored, the more terrifying and frequent these storms became. For human martial artists, navigating through them was incredibly difficult, but demonic beasts thrived in this harsh environment. After over a thousand years of adaptation, they had made the storms their home.
Many of the storms persisted year-round, becoming nests for these creatures.
In the giant storms, entire kingdoms of demonic beasts had formed, with countless creatures living, hunting, and reproducing inside the swirling chaos.
Chen Fan’s group discovered that the deeper they explored, the more of these kinds of storms they would find. Within the depths of these storms, powerful vitality fluctuations ebbed and flowed, hinting at the presence of strong demonic beasts.
One day, they came face-to-face with an enormous sandstorm.
This particular storm towered over ten thousand meters high and spanned several thousand meters wide, resembling an unstoppable fortress of destruction.
The storm swept toward Chen Fan’s group. His sharp gaze immediately detected numerous demonic beasts lurking within the storm.
If they were swept into the storm, even though they were Divine Nascent realm experts, they would be immediately torn to shreds by these demonic beasts.
Though massive, the storm moved alarmingly fast, giving them little time to react.
In just moments, the sandstorm arrived, and the first wave of demonic beasts—known as Sand Beasts—charged straight at Chen Fan.
Each of these creatures was encased in a thick layer of sand and gravel. Though merely in the Core Formation realm, they attacked in unison, sending massive columns of sand hurtling toward Chen Fan’s group. These sand columns, sharp as spears, pierced through the air, surging forward like an unstoppable tidal wave.
Chen Fan unleashed a palm strike. The Northern Star Reaper Hand covered the sky, becoming infinitely huge like an enormous shield. It stopped the sand columns. With a violent slam, a terrifying force erupted from it, killing those Sand Beasts.
The coordinated attack from these beasts could have overwhelmed most Divine Nascent realm experts, injuring them severely or even leading to their deaths. But Chen Fan was far from ordinary.
Chen Fan had already broken through to the fourth-level Divine Nascent realm, and his cultivation was solid. His combat prowess was monstrous—on par with experts at the sixth or even seventh level of the Divine Nascent realm.
Despite their numbers, the Sand Beasts were simply insignificant when facing a terrifying expert like Chen Fan. Without any suspense, they were all smacked to their deaths on the spot.
However, the sandstorm was teeming with demonic beasts. The sheer density of them made it seem as if an entire kingdom of beasts was surging out from the storm.
With that, the whistling sandstorm showed signs of collapsing.
Chen Fan rushed in for the kill, slaughtering the demonic beasts without restraint.
Although Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin were not as ferocious as Chen Fan, their strength had also skyrocketed recently. So, these demonic beasts were easy targets for them too.
Chen Fan kept killing these demonic beasts, not stopping for a moment.
These demonic beasts were no match for Chen Fan. Fresh blood spilled to the ground, and the odor of blood permeated the entire space.
“Roar!”
Likely enraged by Chen Fan’s killing spree, the beast king of this demonic beast kingdom roared furiously, shaking the sky. It charged out of the sandstorm at once, revealing its enormous size and its fierce appearance. An overwhelming might erupted from it, shrouding the area.
“Human, how dare you kill my people. I’ll tear you apart!” roared the beast king.
“Hmph, nothing but a sinful beast, yet you dare to show off!”
Chen Fan faced the beast king’s overwhelming pressure nonchalantly. After cutting down a demonic beast with his halberd, he rushed toward the beast king.
“Die!”
A Green Lotus Sword Qi instantly erupted, splitting open heaven and earth. The sound of cloth tearing rang out in space.
This beast king looked horrified, feeling as if death itself had called it out. It wanted nothing more than to rush back into the sandstorm.
It had realized that it had offended an unfathomable existence.
Alas, no matter how fast it ran, it couldn’t outrun the sword qi with its name on it.
With a poof, the sword qi cleaved the peak sixth-level Divine Nascent realm beast king, killing it on the spot.
The moment this beast king was killed, a Flood Dragon Token dropped. Chen Fan grabbed at the air and caught it. He sensed a powerful flood dragon aura from it, but he didn’t know what use it had. So, he could only put it away.
The remaining demonic beasts immediately scattered and fled in all directions, crumbling as an army.
Chen Fan and his companions continued moving forward.
Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out in heaven and earth. The space in the entire microcosm shook intensely.
Rumble!
“What is happening?”
Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin’s expressions darkened.
Chen Fan also looked puzzled. However, he could sense the source of this change.
“Not sure. Let’s go, the source of the tremor is in that direction. Let’s go take a look.”
The trio flew out at once, rushing toward the source.
The others still searching for opportunities and treasures in various corners of the microcosm also sensed the huge commotion. They also quickly flew toward the source.
Soon, Chen Fan’s group arrived at the depth of the microcosm. They were now deep inside an unbroken mountain range.
A massive, over ten kilometers long, flood dragon was sprawled on the ground here. However, it was just a grotto shaped like a flood dragon, not a real one.
The Third Dragon Lord and the others stood in front of the Flood Dragon Grotto, looking rather upset.
“Chen Fan!”
Naturally, the Third Dragon Lord sensed Chen Fan approaching. He narrowed his eyes, which carried deep hostility.
They had accidentally triggered the Flood Dragon Grotto, which used to be underground. For some reason, they triggered it and caused the earth to crack open, revealing the Flood Dragon Grotto and creating a ruckus.
“Chen Fan, get lost with your people immediately. We discovered this place. It has nothing to do with you!” threatened the Third Dragon Lord.
The other Dragon God Army members’ gazes were also very cold. Strong killing intent emanated from them.
They had discovered the Flood Dragon Grotto, so they didn’t want other people to lay their fingers on it.
They were upset because they had no idea how they had made the Flood Dragon Grotto appear. Had they known how this worked, they would have taken the opportunities and treasures inside silently.
Chen Fan did not care about the Third Dragon Lord’s threat at all.
Treasures and opportunities were right in front of him. How could he leave?
Swoosh, swoosh.
Suddenly, more wind-breaking noises rang out, causing the Third Dragon Lord and the others’ expressions to darken.
