Chapter 2994: A Flock of Golden Horns Ravens
All of the participants from the Supporting Fall Nation were in the same group. The first in line was Hu Jin Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation.
“I’ll go first… Take care everyone.” After establishing ownership over the Major Jade and Minor Jade of his Accumulative Point Jade, Hu Ji Yong nodded at Duan Ling Tian and the others before he passed through the gate to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Initially, Hu Jin Yong had intended to let Duan Ling Tian stand in the lead. However, Duan Ling Tian did not care about such things and casually stood behind Huang Jia Long.
The second to enter was Huang Jia Long’s younger brother, Huang Jia Chao. Although Huang Jia Long had many brothers, he had the closest relationship with Huang Jia Chao since they were closest in age. A solemn expression appeared on his face as he said, “Fifth brother, take extra care once you’re inside. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.”
“Don’t worry, brother. I’ll make it out alive,” Huang Jia Chao said with a smile. After that, he nodded at Duan Ling Tian before he entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Huang Jia Long was the next to enter. Before he entered, he said to Duan Ling Tian, “Brother Duan, I’ll enter first…Although you have extraordinary strength, the Profound Nether Mansion is huge. There might be other Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who are strong as well. Be careful!” He was afraid Duan Ling Tian might underestimate the other Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who were also entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
“Don’t worry.” Duan Ling Tian nodded as he watched Huang Jia Long go in. Naturally, he knew that there would always be someone stronger no matter how strong one was. In fact, he was more experienced than Huang Jia Long even though Huang Jia Long was born in a Devata Realm and he was just a transcender. After all, he had met beings more powerful than Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms. He was not as clueless as Huang Jia Long imagined him to be.
After Huang Jia Long, it was finally Duan Ling Tian’s turn to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He took out his Accumulative Points Jade and established ownership over it in front of the person from the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect who was in charge of their group.
Following that, the person from the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect took out a small piece of jade for Duan Ling Tian to establish ownership over it. It was none other than the Accumulative Points Jade’s Minor Jade that would reflect the points from his Major Jade.
The person from the Cloud Platform Celestial who was in charge of Duan Ling Tian’s group was a young man. He said expressionlessly, “After establishing ownership over your Major Jade, you can use your Divine Consciousness to check your points… At this moment, you only have one point.”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian instantly sent his Divine Consciousness into his Accumulative Points Jade. As the young man had said, he had one point now.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go in now,” the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect’s disciple said after registering Duan Ling Tian’s name.
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and stepped past the gate in front of him into the darkness. As soon as he stepped in, he felt a pulling force overwhelming him. He tried to resist but to no avail. There was only darkness everywhere, and he felt as though the world was spinning. This feeling lasted for more than a dozen breaths. When it finally stopped spinning, the darkness was replaced with a blinding light that caused him to wince.
“This is…” Duan Ling Tian squinted his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. He discovered he was in a forest. There were some trees he was not familiar with. Yellow leaves littered the ground that was rather soft.
“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian’s attraction was soon attracted by a strange and dense dark yellow shrub. Its color allowed it to almost blend with the ground. As soon as he looked at the shrub, he saw a pair of eyes glowing with green light looking back at him in the shrub. In just a blink of an eye, a dark yellow figure leaped out and lunged at him.
“I-it’s a Celestial Beast!” Duan Ling Tian saw the dark yellow figure was a Celestial Beast with a wolf-like appearance. Based on its eyes, he could tell it had not gained intelligence.
Without wasting any time, he used his Divine Consciousness to probe the Celestial Beast. “It’s cultivation base is similar to a Profound Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! Its attacks are similar to those boosted by a heaven-grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability.”
Whoosh!
When the Celestial Beast drew close to him, Duan Ling Tian charged out at the speed of lightning. A mustard glow exuding a fierce aura appeared in his hand at the same time. He swept out his right hand that contained his Celestial Origin Energy and the Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth, the Earth Elemental Profundity.
The Celestial Beast howled when Duan Ling Tian caught it by the scruff of its neck with his Celestial Origin Energy that had transformed into a huge hand. With four limbs on the ground, the beast stood at 1.5-meter tall, and its neck was incredibly thick. If it were not for his Celestial Origin Energy that he transformed into a huge hand, he would not be able to hold it by the scruff of its neck. Although he could easily kill it, he deliberately left it alive.
“Hmmm, it’s not an illusion from a Formation. It’s a real living and breathing Celestial Beasts. There are living creatures in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?” Upon further investigation with his Divine Consciousness, he was shocked to discover the Celestial Beast was real.
‘So a Little World created by a Celestial Lord is able to house living creatures?’ Although he did not know much about Little Worlds left behind by Celestial Lords, he knew quite a bit about Little Worlds created by Celestial Dukes and Celestial Kings. Based on his understanding, humans, or other living creatures, would not be able to stay in Little Worlds created by Celestial Kings for long. After a period of time, they would be forcefully sent out of the Little World.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head when a thought appeared in his mind. ‘Wait… There’s a possibility this beast was recently sent in here…’
When Duan Ling Tian looked at the Celestial Beast again, he could see instinctive fear in the beast’s eyes. Before he let go of the beast, he said, “I’ll spare your life this time. If you dare to attack me again, you’ll die!”
After Duan Ling Tian loosened his grip on the Celestial Beast’s neck, it gave Duan Ling Tian a final frightened look before leaping away.
“Where’s this place?” Duan Ling Tian stomped down with his feet that contained Celestial Origin Energy and shot up into the sky, stirring up the yellow leaves on the ground.
“Hm? There are restrictions?” After rising 100 meters into the air, Duan Ling Tian discovered he could no longer rise any higher no matter how much Celestial Origin Energy he used or how many times he cast the Earth Elemental Profundity. It was as though there was an invisible barrier in the sky.
“At this height, I won’t be able to see anything useful.” Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air as he looked around his surroundings. All he could see was an endless forest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a noise rang from the distance.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not pay it any attention. However, as the noise drew closer, he found that it resembled the sound of water raging after the dam had broken.
“That…” Duan Ling Tian looked in the direction of the commotion and saw tiny black flecks heading his way at high speed. The black flecks grew larger and larger as they drew closer. When they eventually drew close enough, he discovered the black flecks were ravens the size of eagles. These black ravens had golden horns on their heads. And the horns glowed with a strange light.
“These… These are Golden Horn Ravens?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically when he saw the thousands of ravens flying toward him.
Although Golden Horns Ravens were Celestial Beasts without intelligence, they were incredibly strong. Without cultivating, their cultivation bases were similar to a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
“These Golden Horns Ravens are as strong as peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials!” Based on their speed, Duan Ling Tian could easily guess their strength. He felt his head ache immediately. He would not be worried if there were only a dozen of them. Even if there were just 100 of them, they would still pose a threat to him. With hundreds of them forming a Formation, with his current strength, he would surely die! The scariest part about them was not their strength; it was the bond and tacit understanding they had.
One Golden Horns Ravens were not threatening, but as soon as they joined forces, they would become extremely terrifying.
Rumor had it that several thousand Golden Horns Ravens in a formation could easily kill a powerful Celestial Duke!
“Wait! These ravens are already flying in a formation! I think they’re hunting!” As the thousands of Golden Horns Ravens drew closer, Duan Ling Tian discovered the ravens were already flying in a formation.
Duan Ling Tian did not waste any time and shot back into the forest as a mustard glow shrouded him. This was his only choice for now. Once he entered the forest, the Golden Horns Ravens would not be able to maintain their formation if they decided to dive down at him. This way, his chances of survival were higher.
Anxiety rose in his heart as he muttered to himself, “Why am I so unlucky? I’ve only just entered, and I’ve already encountered a flock of Golden Horns Ravens!”
