Chapter 507: Lightning Winged Dragon

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou looked toward the layers upon layers of iron loops, he still had no idea how it worked and even had no plans to understand anything about it.

After taking a look at it, he walked out of the spell altar. He was really afraid that maybe for some reason, he would be teleported to another unopened world.

Moreover, he didn’t have that much lifespan left that could be used up.

While traveling on the stone bridge which spanned the void, Zong Shou walked outwards. When he was about to step across this gate, he heard a light giggle.

“So that’s the case… Unlimited light and endless darkness, the ‘luck’ word talisman. No wonder you could use the instrument. Interesting… Interesting… Within the cloud world, there is actually such a junior. Just grade-7 and you managed to witness the creation of a world, however, to you, who knows if it’s a blessing or a curse? Good luck…”

Zong Shou was startled upon hearing the monologue. The voice came out so suddenly and it was just like it was right beside his ear.

Even after turning around to see the source of the sound, he found that there was no one. He even used his spiritual sense, but he found nothing at all.

Frowning, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to step out of the door. After looking back at the building, he was in deep thought.

The voice came really weirdly, was it the master of this stargazing tower? However, thankfully, it seems that it has no nefarious intentions.

He shook his head, Zong Shou could only place down his thoughts and questions for now. He took out a mirror while thinking to himself that since so much lifespan was sucked out of him, it was possible for him to have become an old man.

He wasn’t happy to he had to act young sometimes, but he wasn’t willing to become an old man yet.

After looking at the mirror, Zong Shou was startled. He was still had his extremely young face, there were no changes at all.

Zong Shou looked at it for a moment and understood something. He sighed a little and facepalmed.

It was said that when one reached grade-7, a few with thick and deep roots could fix and maintain their looks. How could he forget this?

This meant to say that in the future, would he always look like a 16-year old?

This made him feel dejected for a moment, after which, Zong Shou forced out a drop of fresh blood. With a few incantations and spells, he saw a inch long light shining out.

This was a secret technique from the future to test a person’s lifespan. Even normal commoners could use it.

The outcome of the test made even Zong Shou’s eyes sharp.

“30 years…”

The consumption of the World Viewing Instrument actually reached 900 years. If he couldn’t break through his current cultivation, then he only had 30 more years to live.

His eyes remained shining as he sighed, clearly not bothering much about it.

What made him truly depressed was that he spent at least 7 days in the instrument. The Dragon Hall opened on the first day and closed on the third.

This meant that the current Dragon Hall was already closed, this gave him a really big headache.

Also, within his mind, there were still piercing pains throbbing within, his consciousness was a little unclear. He had consumed too much effort in the instrument, no matter which spiritual pill he used, it didn’t help him recover.

While walking down the stone stairs step by step, Zong Shou was suddenly startled. This was because he was able to see that on the side of the Energy Accumulation Fountain, Zong Yuan, Ruoshui and the Ye sisters were still beside the pond. The group also looking over at him with a shocked expression.

Zong Shou flew over with many doubts in his mind. Right as he was about to ask them why they haven’t left yet. He saw that the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon and the seven cocoons were still in the depths of the pond. He changed his words, “How long did I leave for? What’s the time now?”

“What do you mean? We just saw you walk away for a moment and for some reason, disappear for a breath before finally appearing and then walking back.”

Ye Feishuang had a weird expression on her face. She noticed Zong Shou’s ashen-white face, worry rose up in her eyes, “Are you okay?”

Zong Shou was astonished once more. The 7 days that he experienced just now was a single breath? After turning around to look, the stone platform had disappeared, he was unable to see it anymore.

His brows furrowed. A moment later, his face recovered back to normal. He smiled, “Why? Are you worried about me?”

“Huh? I’m afraid something would happen to you and we can’t enter the legacy land!”

Ye Feishaung turned around as she scoffed with a disdainful look on her face, “The Energy Accumulating Fountain can replace the Dragon Spirit Blood Birth pill. However, the legacy land has several good spiritual items. If we won’t be able to take it, then it would be such a waste…”

On the side where Ye Feishuang was speaking, Ye Feihan was making a cute face at Zong Shou. She pointed at her lips and then her heart while shaking her hands to express that her sister didn’t mean what she said.

Zong Shou laughed out loud. Only then did Ye Feishuang notice what was wrong, she turned around and stared furiously at her sister.

There was still close to 18 more hours until the Lightning Winged Flood dragon would transform into a dragon.

After which, Zong Shou sat down quietly and waited, surprisingly, he didn’t try to comprehend anything nor meditate and cultivate.

He was completely relaxed, it was as if his breathing was non-existent. His consciousness was in a half-awake state, his thoughts had all stopped.

He was using this near hibernating style to pseudo-stop all signs of life to regain the spent effort from before.

After who knows how long had passed, a loud dragon’s roar from within the pond charged at the clouds. Zong Shou opened his eyes and saw a dragon’s shape filled with purple scales suddenly struggling out from within.

It was the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon. After it popped out of its body, it was a little smaller than before. However, the purple-colored lighting around him was more closely packed. The Dragon Aura was vast, even Zong Shou, who was its master, had his brows rise up.

The sides of the dragon’s body still had a pair of wings. Which could actually absorb the true fire of the sun with flames wrapping around it.

It flew for a few minutes in the sky before it descended. Then, it finally coiled around Zong Shou’s side in a really demure manner.

Ye Feishuang looked at them calmly with envy appearing in her eyes. However, it quickly disappeared as it came. “Not bad! Its bloodline is at the middle-grade, no weaker than those natural God Beasts. Unfortunately, your Lightning Dragon’s bloodline has too many impurities, there’s even a Winged Dragon’s blood mixed in too. If you are unable to dispel or merge it, then it would be detrimental to its development.

Zong Shou acknowledged what she said, but didn’t bother much about it. He continued to look below at the Energy Accumulating Fountain.

Logically speaking, the 7 Saint Fire Silver Ants should have taken a much lesser time to advance than the Lightning Winged Dragon.

Then, as expected, moments later, a silver light flew up from the pond. It arrived in front of Zong Shou while glancing coldly at him.

The arrogance returned in its eyes, it was filled with an untamed feeling and came with a provocative intention. It already tried to go up against Zong Shou’s soul control. Its body was also burning with a silver-white flame.

Zong Shou was delighted upon seeing this, the expression in his eyes also changed. However, he didn’t forcefully activate the soul control formation as well as the talisman to suppress the challenging figure.

His aura turned cold and sword intent was rising up. The sword intent seemed like it came from the ancient times, the beginning of all beings. The moment this sword intent descended on Hanx, it wiped out the fire of the few Saint Fire Silver Ants. Their bodies were now shuddering and filled with fear.

Just now, it tried to repel Zong Shou’s control since it became stronger. However, it now feared and respected Zong Shou.

As for Chuxue who was still in deep sleep, her brows suddenly furrowed, asking curiously. “The Absolute Beginning?”

Zong Shou turned around and looked at the brat. He was slightly curious but didn’t notice anything weird.

Was this Xue’er sleep talking? Why did she coincidentally say the words ‘Absolute Beginning’?”

However, she was right. Just now, what he used was exactly that bit of intent that he had comprehended from the World Viewing Instrument, the Core of the Absolute Beginning.

What he gained wasn’t much, but it was still the start of all life, it could even suppress the natural variants.

At this moment, the Lightning Winged Dragon beside Zong Shou roared out, filling the air with threatening intent.

Hanxi’s body shuddered upon hearing this. After looking at the dragon shadow behind Zong Shou, its eyes were filled with shock.

Dragons were a type of God Beast, on the same level as natural variants. At this moment, it was also grade-8, however, the threat it gave off was totally different from when it was a Lightning Winged Flood Dragon.

After terrifyingly flying back tens of feet, Hanxi was finally tamed again. Its eyes were regaining its calm and it stopped struggling.

At this moment, Zong Shou could now carefully observe the changes of its body. It was now half an inch taller, the 4 knife arms were a little longer and much sharper. The 6 wings on its back were filled with silver-colored patterns.

The silvery-white Saint Fire was burning bright while being wrapped around its body. It was now more and more saint-like, the entire structure looked absolutely beautiful.

It was almost like an angel. It made one hard to believe that it came from an ugly and disgusting Demon Fire Crystal Ant.

Zong Shou was also astonished. In the next moment, he felt a spiritual sense spread over as he was in deep thought.

He understood that this was the information of Hanxi’s evolution.

After the Saint Fire Ant Queen advanced to grade-8, it had 2 choices. One was to reproduce and split once more to give rise to four grade-7 middle grade Saint Fire Silver Ants. While the other choice was to strengthen the six Silver Ants to raise half a grade; To improve from the middle of grade-7 to the peak level.

Be it strength or the control of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, it would be half a grade weaker than grade-8. Its speed would have changed from before and would now be even faster.

When Hanxi advanced to the middle of grade-8, they could all jump up a realm.

Hanxi asked him to decide as a form of its loyalty.

Zong Shou took in a deep breath before finally choosing to pick the latter one.

Unless it was giving birth to thousands, even tens of thousands of armies, then just four more of them wouldn’t be all that useful.

Why not strengthen the remaining six? This would surely bring more benefits.

The moment he made this decision, the depths of the pond gave rise to an eye-piercing silver light.

The 6 Saint Fire Silver Ants finally changed. When the cocoons disappeared and they each rose up from the pond, before silently suspending in mid-air beside Hanxi.

They were roughly similar to Hanxi, their knives were sharper, the silver armor was sturdier, their 4 pairs of wings also had silver patterns.

Their bodies had also changed, looking more like that of a human shape. Only that it was still mostly that of a bug’s. Their flying speed was no less than Hanxi’s when it was at grade-7. As for their strength? He would still have to take a look during actual battle.

Zong Shou didn’t observe too much before keeping them all and staring at the fountain in front of him.

He sighed as he thought, ‘Who knows if this bathing water for Little Lei and Hanxi would be useful for Aokun?’.
