Chapter 948: Chapter 942: Commencement

“Hmph, I have other urgent matters today, otherwise I would definitely spar with you a few moves to determine the winner.”

Kun Wanyu sneered.

“Alright, I’ve long wanted to knock you down.”

Ao Wuxu grinned.

The two knew they couldn’t fight here, so after a brief verbal spat, they both quieted down.

“Ye Xuan, don’t be fooled by Kun Wanyu’s gentlemanly demeanor; he’s a man with honeyed words but a sword in his heart, not a good person.”

Ao Wuxu whispered to Ye Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan just nodded. He had no intention of making enemies with this guy, and it was better to avoid the Kunpeng Clan for now.

There was still some time before the Netherworld Ghost Cave opens.

Looking at the strong warriors gathered from far and near, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but purse his lips. Now here, it seems that nearly half of the fighters in the Western World are gathered—Three Major Monster Clans, the top forces of various Human Clans, and some major forces with some reputation in the Western World—all have sent top warriors. It looks like this exploration of the Netherworld Ghost Cave will be an intense battle…

During this wait, the yin wind swirling in the air was exceptionally icy. If it were at a specific period when the yin wind formed a storm, even Extreme Martial Saint strong people would turn slightly pale. Therefore, although more and more strong warriors were arriving in this wilderness, not many dared to venture in casually, especially when the shrill screams came after some reckless people couldn’t resist their greed and tried to rush into the passageway. This made many strong people curb their greed and wait cautiously outside for the thorough formation of the passage.

Ye Xuan, along with the Dragon Clan members, didn’t rashly charge in either. Although there was now a bit of a connection with the Dragon Clan, causing probably no one to dare provoke them, Ye Xuan didn’t become complacent for it. With his powerful spiritual power, having now entered the God Realm, he could vaguely sense some extremely daunting presences among the ocean-like numerous auras here.

Being the first to rush out was clearly not a wise move.

All the strong warriors on this whole wilderness were suppressing their greed, quietly waiting…

And that wait, come noon on the fourth day, was finally broken as everyone sensed the fierce yin wind permeating the wilderness was showing signs of weakening.

Buzz buzz.

Various buzzing sounds surged from all directions like tidewater. The originally somewhat orderly wilderness finally turned chaotic again, with countless strong warriors having a burning fervor rise in their eyes.

The greed that was sternly suppressed before, along with the yin wind’s weakening, was quickly growing like wild weeds.

“It’s going to be chaotic.” Ye Xuan looked at this scene, slightly lowered his eyes, and said calmly.

“These people truly underestimate the Netherworld Ghost Cave; even staying outside, I really wonder how many will end up shedding blood here this time.” Ao Wuxu smirked coldly and said.

The passage is only so big, yet people here are as numerous as cattle, and expecting them to enter in an orderly fashion is unrealistic.

This place isn’t as simple as it seems.

Moreover, in this scarcely human region of the extreme south, there are many Demon Beasts descended from ancient times. These Demon Beasts, affected by the yin qi erosion from the Netherworld Ghost Cave, have mutated. Even though their spiritual wisdom isn’t high, they are naturally endowed, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

“The passage has already started taking shape; we need to prepare to enter as well. We should prepare too, while there is a large number of people; it should disperse a lot of the yin wind’s power, and as for those Yin Beasts inside, others can help bear some load.” Ao Wuxu glanced at the distance, then smiled.

Although he loved fighting wars, he didn’t like wasting unnecessary energy. He knew well the power of the yin wind; if one sinks deeply into it, it would be a significant problem.

Ye Xuan’s gaze was also toward the distance, where innumerable auras had erupted, and then streams of light surged like locusts, finally rushing into the passage filled with Gang Wind.

Vaguely, there were still some cries of agony, but among the myriad of roaring sounds that followed, they became faintly inaudible.

“We’ll go ahead.” Huang Qinger suddenly spoke up nearby, glancing over, then in his hand, a light mass suddenly appeared, once the light scattered, it turned into a red feather, ancient runes covered the feather, radiating a peculiar force that slightly distorted the space.

“A very powerful treasure.”

Ye Xuan could sense a rather powerful wave from the feather; it was evident this feather wasn’t an ordinary item, but a rather powerful treasure.

“That’s the Divine Phoenix Feather, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s supreme treasure, left by the ancient Divine Phoenix. Though not a Divine Artifact, its power could rival one.” Ao Wuxu said.

“Divine Phoenix Feather?”

Seeing this, Ye Xuan was slightly astonished; the ancient Divine Phoenix undoubtedly belonged to the same level of existence as the ancient Three Emperors, yet the difference is this Divine Phoenix Feather is the ancestral feather of the ancient Divine Phoenix, whereas the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts were merely treasures they crafted, hence the Divine Phoenix Feather could be comparable to Divine Artifacts.

“Go.”

Huang Qinger let out a low shout, and the Light Shield had taken away more than a dozen figures, finally directly entering the passage filled with yin wind.

“Haha, Ao Wuxu, we’re going ahead too.”

From not far away, the Kunpeng Clan’s Kun Wanyu let out a loud laugh, then space before them began twisting, more than a dozen people had a golden light wing appear behind them, transforming into streams of golden light, and darting into the passage filled with yin wind.

“The Kunpeng Clan actually didn’t use treasures and directly entered the passage?”

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised; the yin wind-filled passage isn’t safe; the yin qi storm of the Netherworld Ghost Cave isn’t to be taken lightly, even for the robust-bodied Dragon Clan, it’s unlikely they could withstand the erosion for long.

“The Kunpeng Clan is naturally very adept at controlling space; a Kunpeng spreading its wings can traverse thousands of miles in an instant. Though the space around the Netherworld Ghost Cave is unstable, with their ability, passing through safely isn’t particularly difficult.” Ao Wuxu explained to Ye Xuan.

“That does seem convenient indeed.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

“Let’s set out too.”

Ao Wuxu waved his hand, a brilliant light erupted, and then a dragon-shaped ship appeared; this dragon boat was lifelike, covered in dense Dragon Scales, resembling wearing a layer of iron armor.

“This is the Iron Armor Dragon Boat, though not as good as the Heavenly Phoenix Feather, it is still more than adequate to traverse this passage.” Ao Wuxu said with a grin.

“All aboard, we need to keep up.”

All of the Dragon Clan were heading onto the Iron Armor Dragon Boat, Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue, although not members of the Dragon Clan, they would deplete somewhat while traversing this passage. Boarding this Iron Armor Dragon Boat would undoubtedly reduce many troubles.
