Chapter 2345 (Raw 2452, Raw 2451 Nonexistent): A Grave in the Heart
Jiang He descended from the starry sky with his eyes closed. The restriction on his chest slowly unraveled.
The five-colored Divine Stone on the stone pillar below seemed to sense him.
It soared up to meet Jiang He. Barring surprises, this five-colored Divine Stone would come in contact with him.
Who knew what would happen after it did so?
Perhaps the contact would release the five-colored Divine Stone’s seal. Perhaps the five-colored Divine Stone would merge with Jiang He, allowing him to obtain the Wings of Time.
Perhaps Jiang He would die. After that, the five-colored Divine Stone might break, and the Wings of Time might appear.
Everything was possible. It was also possible that nothing would happen.
Xi smiled as he quietly watched the two approach each other, not doing anything.
Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan, who stood by Xi’s side, showed grave expressions.
Damn it. What is this Xi planning? He is still not doing anything. What if the Wings of Time ends up in Jiang He’s hands? Everything would be over then. Yan Cangming sent a voice projection to Zhen Yuan, revealing the anxiety and conflict in his heart.
Zhen Yuan showed an equally unsightly expression as he replied, That fellow must know something that we don’t. We cannot let Jiang He come into contact with the five-colored Divine Stone. Otherwise, we will end up in a passive position.
Yan Cangming pondered this. Then, he turned his head and said, “Lord Xi, this situation seems somewhat strange. Are you just going to watch as the five-colored Divine Stone touches Jiang He?”
Xi smiled faintly and said, “Yan Cangming, you want to do something? I have no objections. It is indeed somewhat strange. It would be good for you to test it out.”
Seeing Xi’s smile, Yan Cangming found this person even more unfathomable in his heart. Then, he secretly cursed Xi several times.
However, Yan Cangming had no other choice. He could not be as calm and indifferent as Xi while watching the five-colored Divine Stone approach Jiang He.
What if Jiang He really obtained the Wings of Time? As the hope of the Flood Dragon Human Race, Yan Cangming could not accept this result.
“Damn it,” Yan Cangming roared while gritting his teeth. Then, he soared into the air and directly attacked Jiang He.
On the other side, a figure soared up at the same time as Yan Cangming.
It was Qin Ming, the Dragon God Crown Prince Qin Ming!
Like Yan Cangming, he could not accept the Heavenly Dragon’s son obtaining the Wings of Time. If that really happened, he would find it even harder to bear than Yan Cangming.
No matter how strange this was or whether someone laid a trap in secret, the two of them had no choice. Even though they knew it might be a trap, they had to jump in.
“Whoosh!”
A Golden Dragon and a Flood Dragon Human, a race formed when a group of mixed-blood dragons fell, met each other’s gazes in the air.
The two could see a bone-deep enmity and hatred in each other’s eyes. However, they had the same goal, so they attacked Jiang He at the same time.
“Touch of Death!”
“Driving Dragons into the Air!”
The two executed their killing moves. A black flame burned on Yan Cangming’s body. That flame seemed to be alive, moving like water. When driven by his Death Dao Domain, it seemed like the grim reaper mercilessly swung its life-harvesting scythe at Jiang He.
Qin Ming brought out the Emperor Dragon Fist to its limits. He tightly clenched his fist, and his body merged with a golden Emperor Dragon image.
“Boom!”
The two’s killing moves materialized horrifying auras. They were quick and decisive. Before anyone could react, the attacks landed on Jiang He’s body and erupted with black and yellow shock waves.
The shock waves spread out from Jiang He’s body. However, something strange happened. Jiang He sustained no injury whatsoever.
Not only that, the restriction at his chest seemed to dissipate even faster.
“Damn it! Why is it like this?”
Yan Cangming and Qin Ming showed shocked expressions. Even a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor could not withstand these two killing moves.
However, Jiang He seemed untouched. The only effect was a decrease in his rate of descent.
“You will have to ask us for permission first if you want to kill Jiang He.”
After Xiao Suo and Hao Kai reacted, they soared into the air without thinking, guarding Jiang He at both sides and staring at Qin Ming and Yan Cangming.
“You are seeking death!”
Qin Ming and Yan Cangming appeared furious, not hiding the murderous intent on their faces.
Illuminated by resplendent light, the four immediately started an intense, chaotic battle in the sky.
“Whoosh!”
When Lin Feng saw the situation, he wanted to use the chaos to bring Jiang He away. However, Zhen Yuan blocked him.
“Damn it.”
Lin Feng and Zhen Yuan started fighting, making the battle in the air even more chaotic.
“Whoosh!”
Without any warning, the five-colored Divine Stone below flashed with light. Then, it headed for Yuan Zhen on the lotus platform.
To think that Yuan Zhen wanted to take advantage of the situation to take away the five-colored Divine Stone.
“Damn baldy, stay here!”
How could the others let this happen? Wenren Yu and Dao Yan immediately surrounded Yuan Zhen.
Xi’s expression changed slightly. He said, “Attack. We absolutely cannot let Yuan Zhen bring the five-colored Divine Stone out.”
The figures of Ming Xuan and Yang Qing flashed. Then, they joined Wenren Yu and Dao Yan in surrounding Yuan Zhen.
The core area of the Ethereal Immortal Palace devolved into utter chaos, with battles royal in every direction.
Amid the chaos, any attacks that landed on Jiang He just sped the dissipation of the restriction at his chest.
When Xi noticed this detail, the smile on his face widened. Then, he gave the starry sky above a deep look.
The Silver Dragon King and Sikong Shu, who were watching Xi, felt something off but did not know what it was.
—
At the same time, after Xiao Chen was pulled into Immortal Burial Lake, he found that he could not move at all.
He could not circulate his Divine Energy or Soul Energy, only able to watch as his lifeforce slowly ebbed at the lake’s bottom.
A line separated life and death. The bottom of the lake meant death.
A chill assaulted Xiao Chen’s entire body, making him feel like death slowly approached.
However, he felt calm in his heart, not fearing death.
Soon, all the light in the lake disappeared, leaving only darkness and silence.
Boundless loneliness surged like a flood in Xiao Chen’s heart.
He felt confused. He did not know where this boundless loneliness came from.
After some time, this loneliness filled his heart. Then, a light appeared. He saw a great beauty, one that could destroy cities, quickly swimming over.
Fast!
Xiao Chen’s first reaction to this figure was not to her beauty but her speed.
This figure moved at light speed, arriving before Xiao Chen in the blink of an eye. Then, she held Xiao Chen’s cheeks with her hands and gently kissed his forehead. This kiss reached his heart, and she instantly entered his Soul Pool.
This was clearly Xiao Chen’s Soul Pool, but he felt like an observer here.
That beauty searched his Soul Pool as her lips moved slightly, muttering, “Sky Dome. Sky Dome. Sky Dome…”
The words “Sky Dome” echoed endlessly in Xiao Chen’s Soul Pool, agitating Xiao Chen’s Soul Energy into surging up like waves.
This beauty appeared anxious, showing fluster in her eyes. She looked like she was searching for something, continuously rushing around the vast and boundless Soul Pool.
Xiao Chen felt a little surprised that his Soul Pool was actually so vast.
There were many places that his consciousness had not been to before.
As Xiao Chen followed the beauty, he saw many scenes that he had never seen before, his ken widening.
What is she searching for?
Is there a secret in my Soul Pool that even I do not know about?
Xiao Chen felt curious. He had seen his past life in the Three Life Mirror, so he knew that he was the Sky Dome Immortal Lord’s reincarnation. However, he did not know much about the Sky Dome Immortal Lord.
Xiao Chen only knew that although the Sky Dome Immortal Lord had been an Immortal Lord, he had been much stronger than an Immortal Ancestor. He had been the strongest Immortal Lord of the Immortal Epoch.
“That is?!”
A huge wave suddenly billowed in Xiao Chen’s heart. There was actually a grave in the boundless depths of his Soul Pool.
After the pretty figure saw this grave, she could no longer suppress her emotions. She fell to the ground and touched the nameless gravestone, tearing up continuously.
Without a doubt, this figure was the Immortal Epoch’s Xi Wangmu. However, why was she crying before this grave?
Many doubts appeared in Xiao Chen’s heart, confusion filling his mind.
He thought back to the scene he saw in the Three Life Mirror back then, the scene where the Sky Dome Immortal Lord met the Azure Emperor before dying. This filled his heart with fear and horror, along with the previous confusion.
Who is buried in this grave?
