C575 – Be sensible of The Times

When hearing him, the statue halted abruptly, plunging into deep contemplation.

“I forgot, I seem to have slumbered for an awfully long time!” The statue’s countenance betrayed a pained look.

“That’s great!”

Upon spotting the statue, the flat-inch man’s spirits lifted. Perhaps this was his sole opportunity for escape.

Yet, just as he began to turn away, the statue’s voice echoed, “I distinctly recall that you attacked me moments ago, intending to obliterate me!”

“Thus, your fate is sealed!”

Hearing these words, a creeping sense of impending doom enveloped the flat-inch man. His potent mental energy surged, attempting to rupture the Veil and break free.

However, he was preemptively vanquished. The statue, still in a daze, witnessed this development and instantaneously transformed into an immensely fierce entity. A forceful slap was unleashed, binding the flat-inch man as if with unbreakable chains. Regardless of his attempts to evade, the statue’s palm struck true.

“No!”

The flat-inch man’s disbelieving cry resounded.

“Rumble!”

His ethereal form shattered under the statue’s brutal assault. A resounding explosion rippled through the air, and the Great Dao itself splintered. The very fabric of space trembled violently, as if the world’s end had arrived.

Meanwhile, from the Burial World, a deluge of crimson rained down. Rampant energy surged forth, punctuating the landscape with myriad fissures stretching across ten thousand miles.

The few Death Monarchs who had recently ventured in detected this anomaly. In an instant, their expressions contorted, and the ambient environment fell into an eerie hush.

This was a Celestial King, hardly inferior to themselves. If he could be dispatched so readily, it indicated that the enigmatic figure within held the power to eliminate them too.

“What should we do, everyone?”

One of the Death Monarch’s inner energy had been driven back.

Moments ago, avarice had consumed his thoughts. However, the demise of a Heavenly King had shaken him awake.

The other Death Monarch remained quiet. In former times, their status was unrivaled, governing vast expanses of land.

As the imminent catastrophe loomed, it was likely that concealed experts would emerge in the world. Their previous advantage had eroded. Negligence might result in their demise.

This sensation resembled a return to ancient epochs. In that era, myriad Great Daos abounded, and Imperial Emperors were aplenty. Heavenly Kings were numerous, and even supreme masters occasionally appeared and conversed.

Having weathered millions of years of warfare and slaughter, many experts had fallen. Yet, when confronted with danger, numerous individuals preemptively sealed themselves.

Now, with the resurgence of the great calamity, these individuals feared the prospect of evading it once more. Some opted to confront it directly instead.

“Yi, where’s Innocent Child?”

“Fuck, when did this bastard leave?”

Only now did Death Monarch realize that Innocent Child did not follow them.

This cast a shadow over everyone’s heart.

Innocent Child’s strength wasn’t the most outstanding amongst them, but why did everyone like befriending him?

That was because the innocent child comprehended a type of innate supernatural power, able to seek fortune and avoid disaster.

Now that the great calamity had descended, they naturally wanted to live as well. That was why they gathered by Innocent Child’s side. They never expected that at this crucial moment, this fellow would actually run away. This was fucking cheating!

“This bastard!”

“What should we do now?”

The innocent departure cast a shadow over their hearts, making them feel even more uneasy.

“Da Da Da…”

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from the depths of the palace. All of the Death Monarch hastily looked over.

……

Innocent Child Burial Palace.

Innocent Child’s expression was somewhat serious. He didn’t really understand Zhang Xuan’s temper. He didn’t know if Zhang Xuan would accept his kindness.

A wave of footsteps sounded from outside the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went over to welcome them.

When he saw that the person who came back was the bone dog, a smile appeared on his face.

“How is it?”

Innocent Child asked indifferently, as if he had a well-thought-out plan.

The bone dog excitedly knelt on the ground, “Reporting to my lord, everything is as my lord predicted. Mr. Zhang has a kind temperament, he is not a person who would kill.

I have told Mr. Zhang everything that my lord has told me. Mr. Zhang is very happy, and he even got his subordinates to bring back a gift for my lord!”

“Oh? Let me take a look!”

The innocent child was stunned for a moment and said curiously. In fact, he didn’t have much expectation in his heart. After all, the resources in Burial World were seized from the hands of the major powers of Chaotic Battlefield, which was at its peak.

The current Chaotic World didn’t even have a hundredth of what it used to be. What good things could Zhang Xuan have?

When he saw the water bag taken out by the bone dog, Innocent Child felt even more disdain in his heart. Sure enough, it was just a perfunctory answer. But, who asked him to be so powerful?

He could only pinch his nose and bear with it!

But in the next moment, when he opened the water pouch, he was instantly dumbfounded.

“High-grade Holy Spring?”

A rich fragrance gushed out from the water bag, instantly filling his nose with innocence. His eyes suddenly opened and let out a moan.

It was too comfortable!

This constituted a Supreme Grade Holy Spring. In the Burial World, due to its life-corroding properties, it was deemed a treasure of the highest order. Only Yin Tianzi possessed some of it.

Whenever any of them contributed significantly, the emperor would reward them with a few drops. They would promptly consume it as they couldn’t preserve it.

Precisely due to this attribute, the Holy Spring had transformed into an exceedingly valuable and rare commodity.

Innocent Child glanced at it. The water pouch contained at least several hundred droplets!

Furthermore, grasping the water pouch, Innocent Child breathed deeply, a sense of contentment coursing through him. He detected the potent Taoist energy emanating from the pouch, closing his eyes to immerse in the sensation.

He lifted his head and took a small sip, perceiving streams of vital energy and blood circulating within him.

Suddenly, Innocent Child’s eyes snapped open, and he unleashed a roar akin to a wild beast.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

A torrent of worldly essence converged around him. The surrounding Void emitted a resonant hum, and the burial palace of the innocent child was instantaneously infused with vitality.

Upon witnessing this spectacle, the bone dog was momentarily stunned, then ecstatic. It quickly mobilized its subordinates to encircle the area; Lord Death Monarch appeared to be on the cusp of a breakthrough.

This boded well. Their very beings were indelibly marked by the essence of Lord Innocent Child. Their lives would grow increasingly comfortable as Lord Innocent Child’s power surged.

Seeing signs of Lord’s imminent breakthrough was undoubtedly the most favorable news for them.

The entire expanse of Death Monarch Palace was submerged in an ocean of energy. All individuals and skeletons within the palace greedily absorbed the influx.

Innocent Child resembled a colossal whale, his voracious attraction turning his surroundings into an immense vortex.

Innocent Child lifted his head and let out a jubilant roar, releasing his elation.

Finally, his cultivation, dormant for countless eons, was stirred into action!

“Kacha!”

A faint sound emanated from within. All phenomena vanished, and the innocent child shut his eyes.

His form abruptly radiated a golden glow, exuding an auspicious aura.

“Dong!”

At that moment, from the direction of Wutian Burial Palace, a Great Dao… fragmented.

Innocent Child’s gaze shifted to that area, his eyes widening. As he suspected, something significant had occurred. His instincts had proved correct.

He felt relieved that he hadn’t followed along.

“Weng!”

All of a sudden, at this moment, the second Great Dao broke…
