Underneath the towering cliff, there was a cold pond, and yet there was a stone palace. This greatly surprised Ye Tianchen. Just as he rushed into the stone palace to see if Hu Gao was inside, suddenly, the stone palace transformed into a giant "dragon" head. The "dragon" head was grotesque, nauseating, and unimaginably huge. To call it a "dragon" head was a bit of a stretch because there were some features on this massive head that were unlike a dragonâs, making it indescribably strange and exuding a sinister aura.
With a cultivation at the Martial Saint Realm, Ye Tianchen was already considered a powerhouse on Earth. He had surpassed two realms and survived two tribulations consecutively, a rarity in the history of the Martial Arts World. Such individuals were incredibly scarce, all of them prodigiously gifted. However, here, Ye Tianchen was easily deceived. He didnât sense anything unusual and truly believed it was a real stone palace, or he wouldnât have barged in, falling prey to this dragon-like creatureâs deception.
Crack!
The dragon-like creature in the cold pond twisted its neck, producing a crisp sound that echoed like thunder. The water in the entire cold pond churned upwards with just a slight move. The mere motion of the "dragon" caused such a great disturbance, sending chills down oneâs spine.
"Itâs been a long time since Iâve eaten such a powerful martial artist. That young lad just reached the Martial Saint Realm at such a young age, a rarity even during Earthâs previous cultivation heyday. Iâm really fortunate!" This gigantic creature unexpectedly spoke in human language.
"Damn it, ugly freak, what did you eat just now? Was it shit?" an annoyed voice cursed.
"Huh? Youâve already become my parasite, and you dare curse me? But thatâs fine. Iâve been cultivating under this cold pond for so many years, lacking someone to chat with. Youâre quite chatty, or else I wouldâve swallowed you long ago," the enormous creature said with irritation.
"Go ahead, eat me, eat me as much as you like! I canât fight back against you anyway. But let me make it clear, if you eat me, there wonât be anyone left to talk to you, and youâll be bored to death, you ugly dragon." The speaker seemed somewhat shameless.
"Humph, just behave as my parasite. Once Iâve fully restored my strength, Iâll break out of this cold pond and make sure you vanish without a trace after witnessing my dominion over the world," the great creature snorted coldly.
"Ah? Damn it, you heartless and ungrateful ugly freak! Iâm a handsome guy whoâs been here keeping you company for months, and you still want to kill me? Thatâs too much. And let me ask meekly, when exactly can you regain your full strength? Iâve been here for months, and youâve only eaten one martial artist. Does it mean youâll have to wait thousands of years? I canât wait that long. So many beautiful girls are waiting for me to take them out," said the voice opposing the giant beast, sounding extremely anxious.
The gigantic creature was momentarily stunned. Even it was speechless for quite a while before saying, "Are you some oddity from Earth? Not worrying about your life and yet thinking about dating. Do your parents know how youâre behaving?"
"Damn, you monster, whoâve lived for who knows how many millennia, still know the trending phrases on Earth today?"
"Donât assume just because Iâm under this cold pond, I know nothing. Todayâs Earth is no longer the flourishing cultivation hub of ancient times. Itâs reduced to just the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, and the Ancient Transmission Arrays have shattered. Spiritual energy on Earth is scarce and unsuitable for cultivation. However, you need not worry at all. Back in ancient times, I could dominate the entire Earth, let alone now. Once the seal within me is fully released, I can restore my old strength. Who could challenge me?" the immense creature arrogantly declared.
"Does it make sense to boast like this to someone like me? Do you get a sense of superiority by deceiving me? You claim you dominated Earth in ancient times, but from then until now, itâs been at least millions of years. Even a Supreme Emperor couldnât live that long. Who do you think you are? Donât tell me youâre also an ugly freak at the Emperor Realm, just sealed inside here. A Supreme Emperor, invincible, yet sealed? Itâd make everyone in the Martial Arts World laugh!" the voice opposing the giant creature couldnât help but laugh out loud.
Upon hearing this discordant voice, the enormous creature didnât immediately retort but was lost in thought for a long time, as if recalling a battle from long ago. The massive "dragon" headâs eyes glinted with poisonous light, the hatred and unwillingness palpable, causing a shiver down oneâs spine and a tremble in oneâs soul.
"Humph, that battle was over a million years ago, but the hatred inside me hasnât faded a bit. The first thing Iâll do when my strength is restored is to destroy the entire Earth, annihilating all life forms on this cultivation ground, especially the Human Clan. Nothing less will quench my fury!" the gigantic creature said with resentment.
"Damn, youâre just embittered against the world! Letâs just say I believe youâre an ugly freak who survived from ancient times, but you canât go about it this way. All the creatures from your era are long gone, not even dust remaining. What does it have to do with people now? Are you really that powerful?"
At this point, the gigantic creature shook its head, revealing a person trapped by a small formation atop its head. The personâs body was covered in filth, except for a pair of eyes. When the giant creature brought him closer, he couldnât help but say with irritation, "Damn it, do you have to stare at me every day? Is it fun? I know Iâm handsome. Is that enough?"
"You brat, youâre still green. Let me tell you, even for Emperors, there are divisions of realms. Those in the Initial Emperor Realm can be sealed by the Great Dominator at the Emperor Realm. In ancient times, when prodigies filled the Martial Arts World, it wasnât uncommon. Moreover, I survived from ancient times due to having secret techniques as my foundation, plus my own inherent strength. To tell you the truth, the Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan are both protected by the heavens, and their life spans far exceed those of the Human Clan. The birth of the Human Clan was a mistake by the heavens. From their appearance, they defied the heavenly laws and naturally didnât receive protection, unable to live for long epochs," the gigantic creature said with a haughty demeanor.
"Damn, you talk like the Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan are far superior to us human folks. In truth, you were just slaves under this sky, all without blood and guts, accepting everything the heavens imposed without ambition or dignity. We humans are different, filled with spirit and toughness. If I, Hu Gao, could become a Supreme Emperor, Iâd be the first to break this sky. Damn it, heavens, who do you think you are?"
Nobody wouldâve thought that Hu Gao not only survived but became a parasite of this massive creature under the cold pond, stuck on the giant creatureâs body. His cultivation was far inferior to this enormous being, which is why these strange, absurdly funny words could only have come from Hu Gao. No one else couldâve uttered such unreliable nonsense.
Back then, Ye Tianchen had sent Hu Gao to the entrance of the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World to find the whereabouts of Wuxue and other eight people and bring them to reunite at the Heavenly Pit in Desolate Stone Village. Unexpectedly, when Hu Gao arrived, he saw a powerful man in black attacking Wuxue and the others. Naturally, he fought with all his strength. Unfortunately, Hu Gao was no match and was knocked off the towering cliff. Initially, he thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly fell into this cold pond and was captured by the giant creature. The creature didnât eat him, claiming it hadnât had someone to talk to for a long time. Moreover, Hu Gaoâs cultivation was insufficient, not enough to aid in the creatureâs practice, infuriating Hu Gao, who cursed daily for months, eventually getting used to it. Since he couldnât leave or escape, he figured he might as well keep cursing the ugly freak for fun with nothing else to do.
"Rest assured, it wonât be long. I just devoured that martial artist. I must admit he was strong. Though he looked only in his twenties, he had reached the Martial Saint Realm. Even in ancient times, when prodigies abounded, such individuals were extremely rare. I didnât expect someone so exceptional to emerge on this Earth, which is no longer suitable for cultivation. Unfortunately, he was unlucky to be born on Earth. Otherwise, in this Martial Arts Great World, he wouldâve inevitably become a dominant figure, perhaps even reaching the Supreme Emperorâs realm," the gigantic creature spoke coldly.
"Twenties? Martial Saint Realm? Damn, who the hell is so impressive? Even I, Hu Gao, donât have such talent. However, Iâm sure that guyâs dead after being swallowed by you. With your foul mouth, reeking for millions of years without a cleaning, a single breath from you would wipe out all life on Earth, saving you the trouble of killing and taking revenge on society!" Hu Gao said, covering his nose.
"You brat... I will eventually eat you..." the gigantic creature said irritably.
"Hu Gao, are you wishing for your big brotherâs death that much? It cost me great effort to find your whereabouts..." Ye Tianchenâs voice echoed from inside the great creatureâs stomach...
