Chapter 210 Immense Pressure!
Emperor Ao could tell Chu Xun was injured the moment he saw him.
“Look at the trouble you’ve got yourself into,” Emperor Ao said jokingly.
Chu Xun smiled as if his injuries were nothing, and said, “I had to do it to survive.”
Emperor Ao did not talk about it further.
“You should recover first.”
Chu Xun did not argue. He sat down and entered full concentration stage immediately.
Chu Xun woke up from full concentration stage after three days, and his body was back in its top condition again.
However, his injuries caused a huge drop in his cultivation, now his strength was only considered early stage of Foundation.
“It’s all because of that bloody Firmament Chain.” Chu Xun cursed deep inside.
“Give it to me,” Chu Xun said as he reached one hand to Emperor Ao.
Emperor Ao knew that he was asking for the crystal that contained Hong Meng Scripture.
“Not now,” Emperor Ao said.
Chu Xun looked at him with a strange look.
“I know you want to use your bones as a bridge to channel more strength, but your bones are still too weak.”
“After training Azure Dragon’s Tyrannical Physique Technique, my bones are as tough as jade stones. Is that still too weak?” Chu Xun thought in shock.
“No one has ever trained Hong Meng Scripture, so there is no telling how dangerous it would be. If your bones could not withstand the pressure and break during the training, it would have dire consequences on you,” Emperor Ao said.
“I assume you already had another plan?” Chu Xun asked as he looked at him.
Emperor Ao nodded and said, “I want you to change your bones.” His expression was a bit strange.
“Change my bones?” Chu Xun said in shock.
Emperor Ao meant to replace every bone in Chu Xun’s body.
“And whose bones would I use? Yours?” Chu Xun asked.
He thought Emperor Ao was just joking. Over the past three thousand years, he had witnessed changing blood and changing organs, yet it was his first time hearing about changing bones.
Emperor Ao remained silent for a while, and then looked at Chu Xun. His eyes were beaming with light, and no one could tell what kind of emotion he was feeling.
“Follow me!”
Chu Xun followed Emperor Ao to a valley.
Emperor Ao’s cultivation also dropped by a lot, the Purple Mansion was not as big as it used to be, so peaks and rivers were right in front of them, enabling them to reach their destination in a second.
Emperor Ao performed an act of worship towards the valley.
Chu Xun did not understand the meaning of this, but he did not dare to show any disrespect towards the place that Emperor Ao worshipped, so he did the same.
Emperor Ao raised his hands and formed a magic signet. He then separated his hands in the air, as if pushing something aside.
Boom!
The entire Purple Mansion started to shake.
The two mountains in front of them shifted and showed a path leading into the valley.
Meanwhile, Chu Xun’s face changed as he sensed a terrifying energy gushing out of the valley.
It was the power of an Immortal Emperor.
“Is there an Immortal Emperor in the valley?”
Chu Xun was shocked at this thought. “That’s impossible. Earth is already broken and exhausted, so there’s no way it could withstand the existence of an Immortal Emperor.” He thought as he shook his head.
The power of Immortal Emperor was beyond anyone’s imagination. He could destroy a little planet like the Earth simply by lifting a finger.
There was a trace of sadness in Emperor Ao’s eyes.
Chu Xun was surprised to see that.
Emperor Ao started walking into the valley. He looked absentminded, and his figure looked extremely lonely.
Chu Xun kept his head down and followed him.
They walked in silence, and each had something on his mind.
The imposing pressure grew even stronger fifty meters into the valley. Chu Xun felt blood surging within his body, his legs felt heavier as he walked.
“Chu Xun, there is something with terrifying strength in the valley,” Jiu You said. Its childlike voice sounded grim for the first time.
“Don’t worry! Emperor Ao will never put us in harm’s way.” Chu Xun reassured Jiu You.
A hundred meters into the valley, Chu Xun’s forehead was already covered in sweat. His breath became heavy and each step he took required great strength.
This energy was too strong. Not only was it affecting one’s mental state, it was also putting great pressure onto one’s body.
Chu Xun felt his legs were filled with lead. He tried his best to keep up with Emperor Ao.
Bang!
Jiu You suddenly fell onto the ground from Chu Xun’s wrist. His landing created a big pit on the ground.
Chu Xun was taken aback.
“I can’t stand it anymore.” Jiu You said in its childlike voice, “I feel like my body is going to explode.”
Chu Xun was puzzled. Jiu You’s cultivation should be above him now. He too felt extremely exhausted, yet he could still withstand the pressure.
“Whoever is inside is definitely not human, I can feel that. This pressure is from a different bloodline, and I can’t surpass that.” Jiu You’s childlike voice was filled with unwillingness.
At this moment, Emperor Ao stopped and looked at Jiu You.
“It’s already impressive that you made it thus far, little thing.”
Emperor Ao was communicating through divine sense as well, so both Chu Xun and Jiu You could hear him.
“What exactly is inside?” Chu Xun asked.
“You’ll know once we are inside.” Emperor Ao started walking again. He also sent his voice through divine sense, “The Hellish Python can stay here for the time being. There’s no way it can go any further.”
There was nothing Chu Xun could do, so he told Jiu You to wait for him here and caught up with Emperor Ao in staggering steps.
Two hundred meters into the valley, Chu Xun’s eyes were already filled with tiny blood vessels, his clothes were soaked entirely in sweat.
Emperor Ao never stopped moving. His breathing was steady and effortless. Chu Xun felt he could even fly in this place.
“Why are you unaffected?” Chu Xun asked while feeling a little irritated. He felt his entire body was pressed down into a swamp by a mountain. Each step he took now required tremendous strength.
Emperor Ao remained silent. He suddenly stopped walking and stared into the distance.
After a short while, he formed a signet with one hand and pointed with one finger.
Ripples started forming before them in the air. It was as if a mirror was being shattered, revealing what was hidden.
The moment the ripples dispersed, the entire valley was filled by golden light.
Puff!
Pressure came crushing down on Chu Xun like raging water.
Chu Xun felt his legs weakening and he was forced onto the ground by the pressure. Half of his body sank into the ground, cracks started spreading on the ground around him.
Chu Xun screamed in pain. Blood was bleeding through his eyes and ears, he felt he was going to explode.
Tremendous fear engulfed him. He was pressed down by the unknown pressure before he could see clearly what was inside.
Emperor Ao looked at the spot where golden light burst. He appeared to be stunned, and his eyes turned red as tears started trickling down his face.
He then kneeled and kowtowed towards the same direction.
“Forgive my lack of filial piety, father.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He kowtowed three times, leaving three clear sounds.
Emperor Ao then stood up, and one could now see resolve in his eyes.
“Did you train Azure Dragon’s Tyrannical Physique Technique just for fun?” Emperor Ao asked Chu Xun as he gave him a sideway glance.
Chu Xun tried to use the technique, and the terrifying pressure disappeared quickly.
Puff!
Chu Xun spat a mouthful of blood after holding a tremendous amount of pressure in his body. He now felt much better.
“Emperor Ao reminded me of that only now; he must do that on purpose.” Chu Xun thought furiously.
He was about to speak, yet he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
A golden dragon was hovering in the air a few meters away from them. A million rays of golden light emitted from its body, so did the terrifying pressure.
Chu Xun moved closer subconsciously.
After gaining a clearer view, he realized that it was not a golden dragon, but the skeleton of a dragon.
This skeleton was slightly less than thirty feet long, and its size was much smaller than Jiu You. However, the pressure from this mere skeleton was able to crush him easily.
Chu Xun was sure that this dragon must possess incredible power comparable to an Immortal Emperor when it was still alive. “How did it die? It’s such a pity.” He thought.
Chu Xun was suddenly stunned. He remembered that when Emperor Ao kneeled and kowtowed, he was calling it “father”.
“What...” Chu Xun almost went crazy at this revelation. He had never been this shock in the past three thousand years.
If he was not wrong, this was an Ancestral Dragon of the first generation.
“Emperor Ao just now talked about changing my bones...” Chu Xun looked to the Ancestral Dragon skeleton that emitted golden light and felt his eyelids and the corner of his mouth twitching.
