Chapter 339: You Will Wake the Wrong Person

The two Sovereigns behind Xing Miao immediately blocked him. One of them said coldly, “Hmph—don’t seek your own death. We are from the Four Spirit Worlds, and this is the daughter of the Vermillion Bird Heavenly Venerable. If you attack us, you will be making an enemy of our Four Spirit Worlds. Do you know that even the Immortal Soul Emperor has to show respect to the Heavenly Venerables of our Four Spirit Worlds?”

“Tsk tsk, so she’s the daughter of the Vermillion Bird Heavenly Venerable. No wonder she’s such a feast for the eyes. Very well, I’ll squeeze this girl’s juice dry and sell it to the Ten Kings Palace!” Tan Nie grinned.

If it were in the past, they might be afraid of the people from the Four Spirit Worlds. However, the Immortal Hunting Competition was held by the Immortal Soul Emperor. If anything happened, the Immortal Soul Emperor and the Ancient Tomb Divine Kingdom would take responsibility.

“You talk too much!” Li Yu was impatient and pulled out his sword with a swish.

Xing Miao, who was furious after hearing Tu Ni’s insult, had already taken out a token. It instantly transformed into an enormous flaming vermilion bird. It was like a blazing sun falling from the nine heavens, or a monstrous wave formed by heavenly fire that instantly drowned everyone from the Ghost Valley.

Blast!

As the fire waves surged, a loud explosion sounded. The enormous Vermillion Bird quickly transformed into a small Vermillion Bird phantom that soared into the sky. It circled around and disappeared.

As for the people from Ghost Valley, they had already vanished into thin air with the two flying beasts. Not even ashes were left.

“Heavens, is the Vermillion Bird Token my father gave me that powerful?” Xing Miao could not help but be shocked when he saw that he had actually burned the large group of people from Ghost Valley to ashes with a single strike. He blinked in disbelief.

The Vermillion Bird Token her father had given her could instantly unleash a strike equivalent to the full power of a Heavenly Venerable.

However, she did not expect that it could burn so many Burial Earth experts to ashes. After all, the other party had Supreme Realm and Holy Lord Realm experts.

Furthermore, they were protected by the death aura in the Burial Earth World, so their strength could not be underestimated.

‘It seems that Burial Earth creatures are more afraid of fire!’ Xing Miao thought. Otherwise, there was no other explanation. She was in a fit of anger earlier and did not notice Li Yu’s sword strike that was as quick as lightning.

The two Sovereign Realm elders were also shocked when they saw this.

Although they had just seen Li Yu attack, they could sense that Li Yu’s strike did not have any magic power fluctuations, nor did they see any traces of sword Qi or spells. It was as if he had casually slashed at the air with his sword.

Furthermore, even if he did use some sort of offensive method, it was impossible for him to make these people from Ghost Valley dissipate into ashes with his sword.

Therefore, they could only believe that the Vermillion Bird Token had displayed some unbelievable power, or that the flames had an unimaginable restraining effect on the creatures of the Burial Earth.

Of course, despite their thoughts, they still felt that something was amiss. It was just that they could not understand what was going on for a moment!

“Hmph, a bunch of ugly monsters who don’t know their place. Now you know how powerful I am!” Xing Miao clapped his hands proudly. He had vented all his anger just now, and he felt great.

Li Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the smug Xing Miao. She probably really thought that he had insta-killed everyone with that strike.

However, Li Yu could not be bothered to expose her. He withdrew his gaze and immediately flew forward.

“Hey, Young Master, why are you leaving again? Aren’t you afraid of danger?” Seeing Li Yu leave again, Xing Miao’s expression changed as she hurriedly chased after him.

The two Sovereigns looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They could naturally tell that their young miss had taken a fancy to that handsome man.

Furthermore, they could vaguely sense that Li Yu was not simple. After all, they could not sense any aura or magic power on him. His cultivation seemed unfathomable, and he seemed to have an extraordinary aura that no one dared to underestimate.

“Young Master, wait for me. These Burial Earth creatures will not let this go. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone!” Xing Miao chased after him.

Li Yu suddenly stopped and turned to look at the persistent Xing Miao. He was naturally aware that this girl had taken a fancy to him.

He was used to such things. He had no choice. He was too charming and eye-catching.

However, he did not want to bring a girl on a vacation.

If he had not seen her help previously, even though he did not need her help, it would be a favor for her to help him.

Otherwise, he would definitely freeze Xing Miao on the spot and leave alone.

“Miss, I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t need your help. I have something important to do, so let’s part ways here!” Li Yu said with a serious expression.

Seeing that Li Yu had already made it clear that he did not want to be disturbed, Xing Miao was disappointed. However, she could not pester him anymore as that would be too rude.

Therefore, he could only sigh and say, “Alright! Be careful, Young Master!”

Li Yu cupped his hands again before continuing to fly forward.

“Eh, right, Young Master, I still don’t know your name…”

Before Xing Miao could finish her sentence, Li Yu had already flown far away. She was too embarrassed to chase after him and ask, so she could only sigh in disappointment.

“I hope he doesn’t encounter any danger!” Xing Miao whispered.

…

After separating from Xing Miao and the others, Li Yu sped along. This time, after he encountered the Burial Earth Spirit, he did not care about its intentions and killed it with a single strike without a word.

In any case, he already knew that these guys were basically here to hunt him down. There was no need to show mercy.

After flying for a long time, Li Yu finally approached the location of the Morning Bell.

However, right at this moment, a bell chime resounded through the world, and a strange magic power seemed to spread out. Li Yu could even sense the power of heaven and earth gathering towards the source of the bell chime.

‘Looks like someone has already found the Morning Bell!’ Li Yu thought.

However, this was normal. After all, the various large factions had sent people here to find the Morning Bell immediately.

Furthermore, the people of the Burial Earth World were probably searching for it too.

Therefore, someone would definitely find the Morning Bell before him.

As Li Yu had expected, more than 20 figures stood in the air where the Morning Bell was.

Below them was an ancient tomb. In the middle of the tomb stood a huge bronze bell. It was like a grand hall that emitted a powerful and heavy aura.

“Brother Li, let’s try again. We should be able to break through the domain outside this Morning Bell!” A middle-aged man in black armor said.

He was the master of the Desolate Ancient Family in the Mixed Heaven Immortal Realm—Sun Bingyuan.

As for the person he had addressed as Brother Li, he was the master of another ancient family in the Mixed Heavens Immortal Realm—Li Changsheng.

The people here were from the Li and Sun families.

Originally, the two families acted alone. However, after learning about the Immortal Hunting Competition for Burial Earth’s creatures, the two families decided to travel together for safety reasons.

They did not expect to be so lucky as to discover the location of the Morning Bell first.

However, they did not know that the Morning Bell was not the first to be discovered, nor did they know that it had already become a huge bait while the hunter was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At this moment, a ghost condensed from the stone tablet beside the ancient bell.

It was an old man with a wrinkled face.

He looked at the Li family and the Sun family and said in a low voice, “You shouldn’t have come here! And don’t touch that ancient bell. You’ll wake up the person you shouldn’t have!”

Everyone looked at the ghost old man and their faces darkened. The old man’s words were like an alarm bell that woke up their greedy hearts, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Wake up someone who shouldn’t be woken up?

Was there a terrifying existence suppressed under this bell?

They were well aware that many terrifying existences were buried and sealed in this Burial Earth, so they were afraid for a moment.

If they really awakened an unknown terrifying existence, they might have to pay with their lives.

However, just as they were hesitating, human skins floated down from the sky like paper cutouts.

Immediately, the human skins began to expand rapidly, transforming into ferocious-looking ghost children. They were connected by red lines, setting up a strange blood-colored barrier in the air that trapped the Sun family and the Li family.

At the same time, a strange man with an extremely old face like a big-headed baby crawled out of the ground with a sinister smile.

“Humph, we’ve got our prey!”

This strange person was the evil sovereign of the Netherworld Divine Hou—Gu Tong.

In fact, this place was first discovered by Patriarch Corpse.

After he broke through the array formation that hid the tomb, he did not have the time to admire the Morning Bell.

He unfortunately encountered the evil god Qing, who was also looking for the Morning Bell, and the evil sovereign, Gu Tong.

They had killed Patriarch Corpse and occupied this place. They wanted to use this Morning Bell as bait to attract foreign creatures, kill them, and devour and refine their flesh, blood, and soul.

However, not long ago, the evil god ‘Qing’ was called back by Lord Yin Si, so only this Gu Tong was left here. He did not expect that a new prey would take the bait so soon.

“Oh no!” Li Changsheng’s expression was ugly as a chill ran down his spine.

“Patriarch, what should we do?” Sun Bingyuan looked at his Holy Lord Patriarch.

“We’re in big trouble!” The Sun family’s ancestor’s expression was equally ugly.

The barrier set up by the human-skinned ghost children gave them an almost despairing threat. As for the big-headed baby in front of them, it was at least at the Sovereign Realm judging from its aura.

In this Burial Earth World, even if they encountered Burial Earth creatures of the same realm, their chances of winning were not high, let alone encountering an expert at the Sovereign Realm.

“Think of a way to break this barrier. Otherwise, we’ll all die here!” the Li Family’s Holy Lord Patriarch ordered.

“Okay!” Everyone replied. They immediately circulated their magic power and used divine powers to try to break through the barrier.

However, the demon child laughed wildly. Immediately, he formed hand seals, and the surrounding human-skinned ghost children immediately became even more ferocious as they began to attack everyone in the barrier crazily.

The Li family and the Sun family were soon severely injured by the suppression of the barrier and the siege of Gu Tong.

The Patriarchs of the various Holy Lord realms were pale as if they could not hold on much longer.

“It’s almost time to end your pain!”

Gu Tong let out another ear-piercing sinister laugh before he took out eight talismans and a disc. The disc flew above the barrier and instantly transformed into an ancient altar.

The talisman transformed into eight zombie-like figures that floated around the altar.

In an instant, a strange power enveloped them. Chains shot out of the zombie’s mouth and instantly penetrated the chests of the Li family and the Sun family, imprisoning them and beginning to mercilessly devour their blood essence.

This time, the Li family and the Sun family fell into complete despair. Under the dual attacks of this strange array formation and barrier, they could no longer resist.

However, just as they thought they were doomed, the chains that had penetrated their bodies suddenly dissipated, and the power that restrained and suppressed them disappeared.

At the same time, a figure appeared on the altar.

He waved his hand, and the barrier and array formation below instantly vanished!
