Chapter 373 Ch 373: Faceless Giant: Thunderous Roar Emperor
Ling Xiaolong #2 watched as the tiny Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise landed on Ling Xiaolong #1's shoulder. It then looked at Ling Xiaolong #2 and slightly bowed its head, greeting him.
Ling Xiaolong #1 did not waste more time now that everyone was present.
He brought his hands together, forming a seal, and adjusted the position of his fingers to activate the runes on the Altar.
The Altar of Zephyr illuminated suddenly, emitting a brilliant glow before a pillar of light soared into the sky.
As the pillar of light vanished, there was no longer anyone on the altar. Everyone had disappeared.
Ka-boom!
A resounding crack echoed, and the Altar of Zephyr shattered. The divine runes and patterns on the altar dimmed before dissipating entirely. Once divine, the altar was now reduced to an ordinary state.
.....
In a vacuum filled with starry light that resembled a lengthy portal connecting to a different time and space, Ling Xiaolong #1, Ling Xiaolong #2, Queen, and the Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise found themselves rapidly being drawn by some mysterious force.
If the observation point is shifted slightly, the four of them could be seen appearing to be inside a pillar of light, descending from the sky to an unknown depth.
Ling Xiaolong #2 was awe-struck; he had never witnessed anything like this before. Suddenly, he sensed a shift in the Rules around him. They transformed into entirely new Rules, with which he was utterly unfamiliar.
These Rules appeared to be several times more profound and powerful than the Rules of incomplete Chaos.
"These are the Rules of the original Chaos!" Ling Xiaolong #1 nodded at Ling Xiaolong #2 and explained, "The change in Rules indicates that we have left the incomplete Chaos and are now traveling through the void to our marked destination; that is on the other Altar of Zephyr inside another Mystic Realm in the original Chaos."
"This is a portal of time and space. You already know that I transformed a Mystic Realm using the Lotus of Chaos, thus creating the incomplete Chaos. Moreover, I sealed the Mystic Realm completely with the Nine Layers of Formation Boundary, entirely separating the space of the incomplete Chaos from the original Chaos. Due to all these factors, a portal of balanced time and space was needed to enter the original Chaos once again. This pillar of light is precisely that portal of time and space we needed."
Ling Xiaolong #2 nodded in understanding. But he was still amazed by everything he saw and heard in this short period of time. Everything was so wonderful and had an air of marvel and mystery.
"Bang!"
As he was still sighing in amazement, something seemed to have struck the pillar of light from outside, causing the inside to quiver. It was as if the pillar of light had been dealt a heavy blow, making it vibrate at a very high frequency.
Everyone's body shuddered inside as well. Ling Xiaolong #1 was shaken to the core, feeling like he might vomit blood.
One has to know that Ling Xiaolong #2 was a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior now, a very powerful one at that. He is someone who has his personal Chaos and controls the power of Chaos.
Shaking him from the inside out was not something an ordinary attack could do. This attack must have come from a Master of Chaos at the very least.
"What was that?" Ling Xiaolong #2 asked in pain, shifting his gaze and darting a look at Ling Xiaolong #1 and Queen, only to see a worrisome expression on their faces.
Before he could receive an answer...
"Bang!"
Yet again, another such collision was heard.
As if it was made of glass, cracks appeared on the pillar of light.
Ling Xiaolong #2 was once again shaken to the core. This time, he was unable to control himself and vomited out a large mouthful of blood. He was gravely injured just from the high frequency of vibration.
"BOOM!"
Before he could do anything, the cracked part of the pillar of light shattered into cuntless fragments of tiny light.
Fortunately, both Ling Xiaolongs, Queen, and Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise had already passed the intersection where the pillar of light had cracked. They were still falling rapidly to an unknown depth.
To his horror, Ling Xiaolong #2 witnessed a scene he could never forget. He saw a huge shaft descending from the void and firmly stabilized itself within the pillar of light. A pair of giant hands with scales on them tightly made their appearance by grabbing the shattered part of a pillar of light.
Ling Xiaolong #2 then saw a giant stepping inside the Pillar of Light, he swept his hand and grabbed the huge shaft before chasing after the four of them.
This giant was not wearing any clothes, his entire body was filled with grey scales. Two pairs of scaly bone shards had grown out on his every joint, making his figure appear quite horrible.
The most terrifying thing about this giant was not his scaly body but his featureless head. There was no eye, ear, mouth, or nose. This giant was devoid of any facial features. However, since he still so accurately broke the pillar of light at the place where they passed by, and chased after them, it probably means he could at least sense them very clearly, maybe more clearly than seeing them with eyes.
"Hahahaha... Ling Xiaolong, you are finally back. Did you really think you could escape safely from that sealed incomplete Chaos you'd created? Even if you escape from everyone, how could you escape from the All-seeing Emperor?"
"I, the Thunderous Roar Emperor, paid a huge price to have the All-seeing Emperor calculate about you. I have to at least recover my losses. Now, obediently hand over the treasure you used to create the incomplete Chaos. Oh yes, also hand over the Celestial Glory Blade, Eternal Fury Divine Spear, and the Destiny Token of Jade Serenity Palace."
His words were like thunderous strikes, capable of easily crushing spirits. The more Ling Xiaolong #2 heard, the more he felt his heart breaking apart. Just his voice alone was strong enough to almost make him faint.
An unknown fear appeared in his heart. He was very clear that he would die if he dared to face this faceless giant who called himself the Thunderous Roar Emperor.
Even if he used the Power of Chaos, he still could not equal this giant in terms of strength.
Who was this faceless giant?
Ling Xiaolong #2's mind had somewhat become dizzy. He could no longer think straight.
He felt like death was right in front of him.
Fortunately, he was not alone. Queen and Ling Xiaolong #1 appeared in front of him with a flash, protecting him from taking burnt of the Thunderous Roar Emperor's attacks.
"I did not expect even the All-seeing Emperor, a neutral Master of Chaos, to give in my location. Looks like Greed can indeed make even high and mighty Emperors bow their heads and betray their empire." Ling Xiaolong #1 sighed.
Queen chuckled. She did not seem to be frightened by the presence of Thunderous Roar Emperor at all. She said, "Everyone has greed. Some could control their greed and some could not. All-seeing Emperor's heart is also filled with greed. It is just that the All-seeing Emperor knows how to control his greedy heart. However, when faced with exorbitant prices, even the All-seeing Emperor could not control the greed in his heart."
"In order to make the All-seeing Emperor calculate about you, this Thunderous Roar Emperor must have paid a heavy price."
'This is what he said as well!'
Listening to Queen's words, Ling Xiaolong #2 rolled his eyes.
Ling Xiaolong #1 nodded and turned to Ling Xiaolong #2, saying, "Thunderous Roar Emperor is a Master of Chaos of 18th Level. He must have made All-seeing Emperor calculate my position and next few moves, but even the All-seeing Emperor can not calculate about your existence since you are no longer the real 'me'. You are essentially different from me in terms of both body and soul. And you will become more different after merging with me."
"However, I'm afraid everything has to wait. I, Queen, and Heavenly Seal Divine Tortoise will face the Thundrous Roar Emperor and stop him. You should take this chance to escape. Of course, the location of your escape must be changed!"
As Ling Xiaolong #1 spoke, he threw two pearls at Ling Xiaolong #2.
Ling Xiaolong caught the two pearls, however, before he could take a closer look as to what these two pearls were, a vine wrapped around his body and threw him towards the cracked pillar of light that was shattering non-stop and expanding at an extreme speed.
"Teleport!" A voice entered inside Ling Xiaolong #2's voice.
He saw the incoming attack of Thunderous Roar Emperor and knew he had to escape right now and think about other things later.
Without hesitation, he teleported out of the cracked pillar of light, appearing in the void of chaos, only to collide against something unknown and fainting immediately.
He was already injured gravily and his mind was dizzy. When he collided with something extremely solid, his dizzy consciousness immediately flew out of his body, making him unconscious.
