CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 249: THE GOLDEN CREATURE REVIVES

Inside the cave, Chen Pingping and Chen Shixian were also in a panic. They could sense the powerful fluctuations of force penetrating through, which was exceptionally strong. Fortunately, the Earth Chicken was holding on.

Next to them, Hei’s Sword Dao was somehow able to ignore the Spatial Barrier and slash towards the Spirit Realm.

Chen Pingping was staring in amazement. Awesome!

Raising these Spiritual Beasts for so many years had finally paid off. Hmm, they’re quite powerful.

Chen Shixian was biting her lip, her eyes darting around, evidently pondering something.

CLUCK, CLUCK!

The Earth Chicken raised its head, looking very proud.

Hei was not to be outdone, continuously making noise.

"I have a bad feeling," Chen Pingping spoke.

"Me too!"

"Will that guy revive?" He pointed at the golden creature.

Anyone who could rival the man in black is no ordinary individual! If it revived, who in the Heaven Martial Continent would be able to withstand it?

The more Chen Pingping thought about it, the more alarmed he became. He summoned Lao Huang over to have him expand his aura field, just in case.

"You have so many Spiritual Beasts," Chen Shixian said with a sidelong glance, her tone neither warm nor cold, as if she recalled something.

Back at Salt Mountain, this guy tricked me several times, and that’s how I missed out on the Earth Chicken. Otherwise, it might not be his.

The latter laughed sheepishly. "Next time, if I come across a Spiritual Beast, I’ll catch one for you."

"Will there be a next time?" Chen Shixian stared at him intensely.

Spiritual Beasts are incredibly rare; one might not encounter one in a thousand years. By then, wouldn’t I be invincible already? Would I still need a Spiritual Beast?

As for the four Spiritual Beasts by Chen Pingping’s side, she could only offer a weak explanation: It’s just good luck. Yes, just luck!

There was a big problem, and an even bigger contradiction.

To ascertain the exact location of the channel, they would need to go through the golden creature. However, they dared not awaken it now, fearing it would cause havoc in the Heaven Martial Continent, leaving no one to clean up the aftermath.

Chen Pingping became thoughtful.

「Spirit Realm!」

In front of the altar.

Jin Chan had revived the Flaming Flag, a powerful Divine Weapon composed of eighteen flags, a type of Array Divine Weapon.

He intended to forcibly break through the Spatial Barrier, even if just for an instant. As long as his Divine Sense could fully enter the Heaven Martial Continent, he would be able to kill the Earth Chicken and that little black dog.

If everything went as planned, he would then awaken his ancestors.

By then, the ancestors would open a passage in the Heaven Martial Continent, allowing the powerful beings from the Spirit Realm to invade Heaven Martial.

A perfect plan!

Jin Chan grinned, his expression turning fierce. The eighteen flags rotated above the altar, intense flames and Dharma Principles combining to whip up a strong wind.

BOOM!

The Flaming Flag spun wildly, its overwhelming Power Path slicing through the altar towards the Spatial Barrier.

The scene was magnificent.

Even the old man was stunned. Alone, he had no way to revive the Flaming Flag, but Jin Chan did it with ease.

CRACK!

The next moment, the Spatial Barrier briefly split open.

Seizing this opportunity, Jin Chan activated his Divine Sense and launched an attack towards the other world. "Damned trash creatures, you’re courting death!"

The Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, dozens of times more so than before.

It was not something the Earth Chicken and Hei could fend off. Fortunately, Chen Pingping had earlier summoned Lao Huang and had him expand the aura field, completely isolating this place from the outside world.

The powerful Divine Sense, crossing from the Spirit Realm, suddenly couldn’t find its target.

Jin Chan was taken aback.

Filled with a fierce desire to kill, he had come to slay the Earth Chicken and Hei. But at this moment, his targets vanished, and his attack seemed to sink into a quagmire.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

What’s going on?

In his brief moment of distraction, the Divine Sense he had launched vanished without a trace.

Jin Chan’s mouth opened slightly.

What happened now?

The opponent had completely blocked off that altar. He lost his attack target, and now... his Divine Sense had completely disappeared, as if he had never unleashed it.

He was dumbfounded.

In the cave, Chen Pingping laughed heartily. "Well done, Mao Qiu!"

The aura deployed by Lao Huang was not your ordinary aura. It was very special, resembling a tiny space that completely isolated this place from the outside world.

Hence, Jin Chan’s attacks would lose direction.

Then, in that moment, Mao Qiu leaped up and swallowed his Divine Sense, which even Chen Pingping hadn’t anticipated.

Chen Shixian looked at Mao Qiu, her gaze becoming intensely fervent.

AAAAHHHH! Damn it! Jin Chan flew into a rage—a genius of the Purple Gold Divine Clan, yet unable to deal with a chicken and a dog, and repeatedly made a fool of.

His anger was unparalleled, and he attacked again.

The Flaming Flag operated wildly, launching powerful strands of Divine Sense.

But the outcome was the same every time: his Divine Sense couldn’t find a target and was mysteriously devoured.

Twice, thrice, five times... until the twelfth time...

Jin Chan finally exhausted all his strength. His complexion was as pale as snow, he was panting heavily, his expression contorted, and his state frenzied. He muttered to himself, "How can this be? Damn it, what exactly happened? That chicken, no, no, no, it can’t be it, nor can it be that dog..."

The young genius of the Purple Gold Divine Clan had lost his mind.

If he could see the enemy, it would have been alright. But he couldn’t see his foe at all and had no idea who was causing the mischief.

...

"Young one..." Suddenly, a low and husky voice came from inside the cave. It carried a bit of hoarseness, as if reaching here from many ages ago.

Chen Pingping and Chen Shixian immediately tensed up and turned their gaze toward the altar.

It’s him! The golden entity.

The aura inside the cave was growing stronger, and the fluctuations became more violent. The golden entity began to emit a sheen from his body. Although dim, it was enough to confirm the situation.

He was about to revive.

Chen Pingping quickly protected Chen Shixian behind him, his expression serious as he looked forward. "If something happens later, run away quickly!"

This guy... he actually knows how to care about people! Chen Shixian was briefly moved.

Then she heard him say, "If you’re going to die, die farther away. Otherwise, it’s easy to be misunderstood!"

Chen Shixian: "..."

Even at a time like this, he’s still worried about being misunderstood? I want to draw my sword and kill Chen Pingping!

The golden entity spoke again, "Human Clan junior!" His ancient, desolate eyes slowly opened. At first, they were empty – a void of darkness, bottomless.

As time passed, the depths of his hollow eyes gradually filled with color, flashes of golden brilliance emerging.

He stared at Chen Pingping. In just that moment, it was as if he had seen through Chen Pingping entirely.

The latter’s scalp tingled.

"Human Race Divine Body, hehe, not a bad supplement," the golden entity said, looking towards Chen Shixian, his lips curling slightly, looking incredibly ferocious.

BOOM!

He attempted to rise, but the Array activated on its own. A mighty force like Mount Tai suppressed him, pinning his body firmly in place.

The golden entity roared in fury, "Wu Ji!"

Unable to rise, he extended a withered hand, aiming for Chen Shixian.

Fortunately, the Array was powerful enough to suppress him yet again.

The golden entity went into a rampage. "You should die..." His frail body shook fiercely as Divine Brilliance burst forth, the terrifying Power Path assaulting its surroundings.

Alas, it was still blocked by the Array.

Seeing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
