184, scattered and fled for their lives

  Six people rushed out in a frenzy. But this underwater palace was too big, they had been inside for half a day, and it wasn't something they could escape from in an instant.

  At the same time, all the dragon's breath in the underground palace rushed rapidly towards the Dragon Temple.

  Mò Tiān Gē looked back. The dark and quiet passageway, only the faint glow of the moonstone they carried. But in this quietness, there was a sense of oppression that made her heart tremble with fear.

  The dragon's breath is gradually fading, and the pressure it brings is also fading. However, the six people present are becoming more fearful. Because this faint dragon's breath is all on one person, and what that person will become after receiving this dragon's breath, no one knows.

  While running, I suddenly heard a deafening roar, the water surged and the ground shook.

  All six of them changed color. The roar was low and unclear, but they all heard the majestic meaning in it. The power of the Holy Dragon... Could it be that Ren Feng had really succeeded?!

  "Several seniors..." Tang Fang called out, his face looking very unsightly, "What to do?"

  Qiu Zhi Ming's face turned pale: "Escape, we can only hurry to escape with our lives. Hopefully, the one surnamed Ren hasn't finished yet, and we can rush back to report to the master..." Then, looking at Yu Xiao Ran who was being half-dragged forward, he revealed a pained expression, "Yu Shidi's injuries are severe, I...I'll take him with me, you all use your skills, hurry up and escape!"

  "Qiu Shixiong!" Tang Fang's expression changed, "You're saying..."

  "We must have someone escape back to the camp to report the news, otherwise we'll all be buried here together!"

  "Qiu Shixiong is right." Xiahou Yuan's gaze was stern, "Tang Shidi! No more nonsense, our priority now is to save our own lives."

  Tang Fang's eyes dimmed for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Alright, we'll each escape on our own, whoever manages to get out will return to the sect to report back, if we can't escape...".

  "That's even better for us." Jiang Shanghao chimed in, a ruthless glint already appearing on his face. "Once we get out of this underwater palace, we'll split up and make our own escapes. The chances of getting out are higher that way."

  Apart from this, there is no other way.

  Listening to them talk, Meng Tian Ge remained silent. They were all orthodox disciples, and there was still affection between them, like Qiu Zhi Ming who was willing to take Yu Xiao Ran with him as they escaped, even though his speed would be greatly reduced because of that. But she wasn't an orthodox disciple. Having only a fleeting encounter with these people, she could only look out for herself.

  "Leaf Shidi..." At this time, Jiang Shanghang saw her and hesitated for a moment, "You..."

  Mò Tiān Gē knew that, underwater, she was no match for the orthodox monks' aquatic escape techniques. At present, she could keep up with them because of two reasons: one was the extraordinary power of her Cloud Treading Boots, and the other was that Yu Xiǎo Rán had injuries on his body, which slowed down their speed.

  "Brother Jiang, don't worry," Mo Tian Ge said calmly. "Although my escape techniques are not great, I still have some ways to protect myself."

  Originally, she had planned to find an opportunity to bring Jiang Shanghang into the Void Sky Realm after knocking him out, which would also be a way of repaying the kindness he showed her by staying behind to save her life. However, they already have other plans now, and it's not necessary for her to go that far. After all, her trust in Jiang Shanghang hasn't reached the point where she would go to great lengths to ensure his survival.

  Jiang Shanghang's eyes wavered for a moment, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Then... we'll each go our separate ways. If fate allows it, we'll meet again someday."

  Moyan Song nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. So many years had passed. There were not many people who could make her feel at ease and trusted. Before the age of 20, there was only her second uncle; after the age of 20, it was just a few people from the Xuanqing Sect. Other people she occasionally met might temporarily join forces with her, but ultimately, they didn't have her wholehearted trust.

  As for Jiang Shang, she was also like this at first. He concealed his true purpose for coming here, and she was even more annoyed. However, when he was willing to give up the opportunity to search for treasure and stay behind to take care of her, she felt that maybe this person could be trusted a bit more. But now there's no chance to verify it anymore.

  It's all right, people who meet by chance are all driftwood under the sky, meeting and parting as fate dictates. As long as we're alive, maybe there'll be another chance to meet again - when they escaped from Yunwu Mountain back then, they didn't think they'd reunite in the future either.

  "Alright, no more nonsense! Let's split up!" Qiu Zhiming shouted, charging out of the underground palace first.

  Others didn't hesitate either, one by one they slipped away unnoticed.

  As soon as they left the Earth Palace, these people stepped out of the transmission array of the Divine Dragon Stele and each activated their water escape technique, using their fastest speed to escape.

  Mó Tiān Gē just saw that four flashes of light flashed in different directions and disappeared before his eyes.

  She sighed and didn't follow them out. Instead, she turned back and stepped through the transmission array again into the restricted area of the Divine Dragon Stele.

  These four people have a natural advantage in the water, she is destined to be thrown down. If it takes a long time with the wind and waves, maybe everyone can escape, but if they finally catch up, then the first person to catch up will be her.

  Pressing her brow, she silently recited the incantation. The light between her eyebrows grew brighter and brighter. After counting her breaths, her figure suddenly disappeared, vanishing into this Dragon Hiding Land.

  She raised an eyebrow, a pearl emerged, her finger drew a line, and a crack was torn open in the void sky, revealing the scene outside.

  With the Void Sky Realm, what was thought to be impossible has become possible. She can hide well within the Void Sky Realm and no matter how she transforms with the wind, it is impossible to find her.

  And she also wants to see what is called the ancient divine beast, the dragon's breath. How strong will Ren Yu and Feng become.

  The entrance to the underground palace remained open, and the dragon's breath emanating from inside grew weaker and weaker. Finally, even the aura on the Dragon Stele began to surge into the underground palace - this period of time was not too long, and the dragon's breath near the Dragon Stele had disappeared completely.

  Meng Tian Ge stared at the entrance of the Earth Palace, she was now in the Void Sky Realm, although she could see the outside scene, but couldn't use her divine sense, didn't know if Ren Feng had already chased out or not. However, since the absorption of the Dragon God's breath had stopped, he would come out soon.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected. Not long after, Ren Yu and Feng's figures burst out of the entrance to the underground palace.

  The moment she saw him, Mo Tian Ge furrowed her brow. She wasn't outside, so she couldn't sense Ren Yu Feng's current aura, but his appearance had completely changed from just a moment ago!

  Ren Yu Feng's appearance was also that of a young man in his early twenties, although his demeanor made people feel uncomfortable, his face was fair and clean. But the Ren Yu Feng in front of him now had a pitch-black face, a ferocious expression, and his entire body emitted a black aura, as if he had become possessed.

  Seeing him like this, Mo Tian Ge's heart went "thud". The Dragon is an ancient divine beast, rumored to have a majestic aura, with a righteous and dignified air, it is the species closest to the gods. Whether it was the Divine Dragon Stele or the Divine Dragon statue in the underground palace, their dragon aura was always so grand and sacred.

  But Ren Feng's appearance was as if he had entered a demonic state, unable to find any hint of the sacred aura of the divine dragon.

  Mo Tian Ge dared to affirm that he was not absorbing the Dragon God's breath and becoming the so-called Dragon God's son, what exactly happened?

  Ren Yu Feng stepped on the wind and transmitted it to the outside of the Shen Long Bei seal.

  Mogentian thought for a moment, pressed his brow, and came out of the Void Heaven Realm, re-entering the Earth Palace.

  This world has existed for millions of years since ancient times. From the current perspective, these long millions of years are divided into several stages: Pre-ancient, Divine extinction, Ancient and Modern.

  Open the Hongmen, heaven and earth transform, gods emerge and spirits appear, this is Tai Gu. The Tai Gu period lasted for several million years, at first it was a world of gods, demons, and spirits, later humans appeared, and the gods left the mortal world. However, spiritual objects still remained.

  The period when the Youling and humans lived together was also known as ancient times.

  In the distant past, during a particularly special period of tens of thousands of years in the ancient era, humans were born and gradually became the spirits of all things. Eventually, cultivators appeared. After hundreds of millions of years passed, they gained wisdom and learned the ways of cultivation from demons and spirits. Those who drew close to spirits became immortals, while those who drew close to demons became devils.

  The power of the immortals and demons gradually grew stronger, finally breaking out into a great war. The gods who had established the rules of the world intervened, causing the powerful immortals and demons to ascend, while the monsters and spirits migrated to another world. Only those cultivators of immortality and magic who were not yet strong enough remained in the mortal realm. Thus ended the ancient era.

  The divine beast is the king of this period. The divine beast is the strongest spirit, born with spiritual power, unlike the cultivators and demon cultivators who need to cultivate to obtain magical powers. Their powerful strength is almost like that of a god, surpassing both immortals and demons, and they are also the source of human cultivators' cultivation techniques.

  This Dragon God Temple, judging from the sacrificial scene, should be a time when humans had just appeared and had not yet cultivated immortals. The ancient legacy of hundreds of millions of years, the distant past is a period of tens of millions of years, which is also a period of human origin. During this period, the gods left the world, and the divine beasts were the most powerful forces that humans could come into contact with. They possessed the blood of the gods, so they were sacred and vast, the strongest kind of spiritual power.

  In ancient times, divine beasts were gods in human hearts.

  The Divine Dragon Stele and the Divine Dragon's Breath in the underground palace indeed possess a majestic and sacred aura that a divine beast should have.

  If he truly absorbed such a divine dragon's breath, then his own spiritual energy must also be upright and pure, and it is absolutely impossible to produce black colors like demonic possession.

  Fairies are born from spirits, demons are born from monsters, absorbing the breath of spirits, it is absolutely impossible to become a demon!

  It's almost certain that Ren Yu's method of absorbing the dragon's breath is wrong. But why is it wrong?

  Coming from this Dragon God Temple's secret method, it is impossible to become a demon, otherwise how can this thick dragon breath be explained?

  Ling Ke's power can suppress evil spirits, and as a cultivator of demonic arts, he also possesses innate sealing powers. Where the divine dragon's breath exists, there should not be any demonic aura present.

  Unless... Ren's aura on his body is not demonic energy, or... this place is not the true dragon's breath!

  Mo Tian Ge once again stepped into the Divine Dragon Temple.

  Without the dragon's breath, this dragon statue no longer has its previous majesty.

  Passing by the statue of Shenlong, stepping on the stone gate where Tang Fang and others escaped.

  Although she had long been mentally prepared, Tian Tian was still shocked.

  This is a gigantic skeleton that even after losing its life hundreds of millions of years ago still remains with an awful presence. This is the Divine Dragon's bones.

  The consequence of staying up all night after a long journey is that I was dazed for the whole evening... Continuing in the evening, I went to rest first and slowly crawled over...
