Chapter 358: Chapter 354 Old Friend? (5th Update)
The already turbulent sea surface suddenly calmed down, all the seawater started to retreat quickly, and within a few breaths of time, it had retreated tens of miles, revealing a large expanse of exposed seabed and mudflats.
But in the next instant, a giant wave thousands of feet high rolled in from the deep sea, blocking out the sun and crashing down in thunderous roars, bringing with it a destructive force aimed directly at the East Sea Pinnacle.
All the creatures present, whether from the Dragon Palace’s Aquatic Clan or various demon races, were dumbfounded, completely unable to avoid it, and could only wait helplessly for their death.
“Damn, grab onto me!” Seeing this, Shen Luo was greatly alarmed.
Disregarding everything else, he resolved to give it his all, planning to try again to cast Yimu Xuandun, to get them out of there.
Shen Yu and the other two could only hold onto his arm immediately and close their eyes.
However, in the next instant, a sound resembling the roar of an ancient beast woke them up.
When the three of them reopened their eyes, they saw a huge black figure, as large as a City Wall, piercing through the thousand-foot-high water wave. It opened a massive blood-colored mouth from which came rolling suction.
Shen Luo stared at it and saw a figure shrouded in demonic fog, its head resembling the legendary Kun peng described in ancient books. But before he could get a clear look, the casting of Yimu Xuandun was interrupted.
He only felt a mighty force pulling him and Shen Yu’s group, lifting them into the air, flying towards that giant bloody mouth.
Shen Luo struggled hard but to no avail. His vision was chaotic. It seemed that all the creatures in the East Sea Pinnacle could not escape this awe-inspiring suction.
He was like a floating leaf, drifting aimlessly in the raging wind and waves. His eyes gradually became heavy and he lost consciousness.
…
Shen Luo did not know how much time had passed before he awoke, and his face changed involuntarily as he looked around.
He was alone in a world of darkness, Shen Yu, Bai Bi, and others were nowhere to be found.
Above him was a gray-black sky, oppressively gloomy, and the surrounding ground was a ruin, full of broken bricks and rotten tiles, many of which were already decayed.
“What is this place… Is it inside the belly of the Kun peng? Where did the others go?” Shen Luo, recalling the previous events, checked inside his bosom and found the Seven Star Talisman Pen still there.
He didn’t hesitate to check his own body. He then took out the Flying Talisman, flew into the mid-air, and looked around.
The ruin was vast, stretching beyond his sight. Besides himself, he couldn’t feel the breath of any other living person, let alone Shen Yu and others.
Just at this moment, his flying figure began to waver. It turned out that his body’s Mana was exhausted, and he could no longer operate the Flying Talisman. He hurriedly landed back on the ground.
He checked his body and found that he was not injured, but his Mana was severely depleted. Seeing that there was no immediate danger around him, he sat down cross-legged and tried to recover his Mana.
Although his surroundings looked desolate within this gray-black space, the spiritual energy were very dense. Since he possessed twenty meridians, his absorption of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi was extremely fast. In just a few moments, he recovered about fifty to sixty percent of his Mana.
Instead of continuing to meditate, he chose a direction and began to investigate, trying to figure out where he was and locate Shen Yu and the others.
However, the ruin was so vast that he had made no progress after searching for half an hour.
Then, at one point when he urged the Flying Talisman to ascend into the air, his gaze was suddenly drawn in a particular direction. At the end of his line of sight in that direction, he could vaguely see a glimmer of golden light.
After a slight hesitation, he put away the Flying Talisman and flew towards the source of the golden light. He quickly arrived at the source of the golden light.
There stood a golden pagoda glistening with light. The base of the pagoda was a golden lotus platform. There was a Nine-story Pagoda on top, the top of which soared into the clouds, emitting myriad rays of golden light.
Looking at the magnificent golden pagoda in front of him, Shen Luo gasped, his face full of amazement. He stared dumbfoundedly for a long time before he regained his senses.
“Who are you?” Just then, a clear voice came from the side.
Shen Luo was startled and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a young man in golden armor walking over from the other side of the golden pagoda. It was the Five-clawed Golden Dragon who had fought with the Three-headed Jiao beast.
“I have the family name Shen. I ended up in this place unintentionally. May I know your respected name?” Shen Luo secretly let out a breath, calming his mind and responded with a cupped-fist salute.
“You…huh! You’re Shen Luo, right?” The golden armor youth seemed as if he wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly froze, and he said with surprise.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was stunned.
He was confident that he hadn’t made a mistake. He had definitely never seen this person before, and had never met anyone from the East Sea Dragon Clan before.
“Don’t you remember me, Brother Shen? My name is Ao Hong.” Seeing the look of astonishment on Shen Luo’s face, the golden-armored youth continued speaking.
Hearing the golden-armored youth introduce himself by name, Shen Luo was more certain that he had never met him before.
However, he thought of a possibility. It was now a thousand years later, and this Ao Hong was probably someone he had met during that time. Judging by the look on Ao Hong’s face, it seemed that they had a close relationship and were good friends.
“So it’s Brother Ao. I suffered a serious injury to my divine soul a few years ago, and many of my memories have become blurred. I didn’t remember you right away, please forgive me,” Shen Luo quickly formulated a response in his mind and smiled.
“So that’s what happened. I was wondering how you wouldn’t remember me! But why are you here, Brother Shen?” Ao Hong spoke with a smile, seemingly not doubting Shen Luo’s words at all.
“A group of Daoist friends and I were being chased by demons all the way to the East Sea Pinnacle. We were swallowed by a giant Kun peng, and when I woke up, I was here,” said Shen Luo truthfully.
“I remember now. There were several humans standing on the seashore outside just now. Brother Shen was among them. The Kun peng demon was after me. I didn’t expect it to affect brother Shen and your friends. Please accept my apology,” Ao Hong seemed to have recalled Shen Luo and apologized with a fist and palm salute.
“It’s not your fault, Brother Ao. It’s just my bad luck,” Shen Luo responded with a shake of his head and smile.
“It is my fault for causing this situation. Brother Shen, rest assured that even if I have to stake my life, I will help you and your friends to escape from here,” Ao Hong said solemnly.
“To get out of here… Seems not to be easy. Let’s work together. But brother Ao, I saw you fighting with the Three-headed Jiao beast outside, and mentioning the East Sea Dragon Palace in the conversation. It seems there were also some disputes in the Dragon Palace?” Shen Luo shook his head first, then asked with a glint in his eyes, seeing the other’s solemn look.
“Demons and fiends have thrown the world into chaos. There’s no peace anywhere. The East Sea Dragon Palace has also been attacked by demons. I escaped only after fighting tooth and nail, but still couldn’t evade the grasp of the demons,” said Ao Hong, sighing.
Hearing these words, Shen Luo was shocked.
The Four Seas Dragon Palaces are in charge of granting rain and favourable weather, though located in the Human World, they are genuine immortals. The demons dared to attack the Four Seas Dragon Palaces. Had their power grown to such an extent?
