Chapter 693: The Mysterious Underworld Race Reappears
Ten days later, the two Sky Celestials sent out by Luo Yunyang returned to Yunyang Paradise with the two items in tow.
The two men did not return alone. Behind them were envoys from the Cangyuan Sect and the Mysterious Great Sky Auction Hall.
The two envoys, who were Celestial Thearches, greeted Luo Yunyang respectfully after congratulating him on receiving Yunyang Paradise.
Luo Yunyang didn’t care much about their congratulations. He hastily took the Five-Fire Heart Sphere and returned to the ninth level of his Paradise.
Thanks to the accumulation of various materials, the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast stopped devouring the normal materials that had piled up like a small hill instinctively and decided to stare at the Five-Fire Heart Sphere Luo Yunyang had taken out of his storage bracelet.
After roaring out loud, the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast hurriedly swallowed the rare treasure into its belly.
When it devoured it, Luo Yunyang felt a power that felt like a volcanic eruption madly burning in the belly of the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast.
Although Luo Yunyang had a Heavenly Venerate consciousness and had even found his Heavenly Venerate True Body, he still felt an unprecedented fear when he saw the raging flame burning.
He had never seen this flame before. It was greyish-white in color and when it enveloped the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast, he felt his consciousness within the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast fall into a deep slumber.
Although he knew that it was necessary for these divine items to aid the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast in advancing its cultivation base, Luo Yunyang still felt that he had to be careful.
After all, the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast was too important to him.
The burning occurring inside the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast would last three years before it could be completely extinguished. Before the flame was extinguished, Luo Yunyang would have to stop everything pertaining to the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Yunyang was meditating in the eighth-level palace hall of his Paradise. Although the spirit energy in the Paradise wasn’t as useful to him as before, he still continued to conjure the Celestial Domain in his body to absorb the energy.
“Greetings, Heavenly Venerate!” Yin Feihuan entered Luo Yunyang’s cultivation hall and greeted him respectfully.
Yin Feihuan’s cultivation had not improved greatly during the past year, but her attitude when it came to handling matters had gone through a huge improvement.
Luo Yunyang lifted his hand and gently helped Yin Feihuan to her feet before asking, “What is the matter?”
“Heavenly Venerate, the Mysterious Great Sky Auction Hall just sent an invitation. Their auction, which happens once in every millennium, is about to begin. This is for you.”
An invitation from the Mysterious Great Sky Auction Hall?
Luo Yunyang eyes lit up when he scanned the invitation. Although there weren’t many useful items for the Heavenly Venerate True Body at the auction, Luo Yunyang’s own cultivation had not yet attained the Heavenly Venerate. Furthermore, the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast was a greedy beast. Due to the rate at which it was devouring precious materials, Luo Yunyang was constantly finding it hard to make ends meet.
He was also going to enhance and strengthen the Da Alliance and the Human Tribe of the Divine Union when he returned.
All these things required a great number of resources.
Even though he possessed this Paradise, the Great Sky Heavenly Venerate had still taken away most of the good stuff in it before leaving.
“I will attend the auction and have a look then.” After making his decision, Luo Yunyang stood up from his jade platform and disappeared into the void.
Heavenly Venerates could cross the void.
In an instant, Luo Yunyang arrived in a huge city situated high up in the clouds. A purple-gold wall gave off a rather simple, unadorned vibe.
Luo Yunyang wanted to enter the huge city with a step. However, the defensive array formation of the city had sealed the void. There was only one way to enter, and that was to smash the defensive formation array.
Luo Yunyang didn’t want to act arrogantly, even though he had the abilities of a Heavenly Venerate. Hence, he simply strolled towards the gate.
Nebula-Grade warriors clad in purple armor stood like metal towers on both sides of the gate. Although they looked immovable, the dense pressuring aura they exuded still made it hard for ordinary martialists to breathe.
Someone was getting ready to stop Luo Yunyang as he approached. However, the middle-aged martialist, who looked like he was the person in charge, knelt on the ground and greeted him respectfully when he saw Luo Yunyang strolling towards him.
“Welcome, Yunyang Heavenly Venerate.”
Luo Yunyang glanced at the middle-aged martialist and asked, “You recognized me?”
“I’m too inferior to sense such things. It is the soul of the divine city that told me that you’ve arrived,” the middle-aged martialist, who did not dare to lie, replied respectfully.
The soul of the divine city? Luo Yunyang’s attention shifted towards the walls of the divine city. Instantly, he felt the happiness of the soul of the divine city when he looked at it.
Luo Yunyang nodded gently and continued strolling into the divine city.
The divine city was massive. It would take ordinary martialists a very long time to cross the entire city.
A voice spoke in Luo Yunyang’s ear as he was walking towards the Mysterious Great Sky Auction Hall. “Brother Yunyang, we’re having some drinks by Guiyan Lake. Do you want to join us?”
The voice was extremely peaceful. However, when Luo Yunyang heard it, he felt a sense of awe.
Although he wasn’t using his Heavenly Venerate True Body, upon hearing this voice, he came to the conclusion that the person who had spoken to him must have a cultivation base greater than his!
Luo Yunyang, who did not know where Guiyan Lake was, followed the voice and arrived almost instantly beside the lake.
Or rather, he arrived before a huge building that was suspended above the shore of Guiyan Lake.
Luo Yunyang saw a familiar figure outside the huge building. The female figure was surrounded by a large group of people who looked like they were fans of hers.
The figure hesitated a moment before greeting him respectfully. “Greetings, Heavenly Venerate.”
Luo Yunyang and Long Xinyue weren’t considered friends. On the contrary, the two of them had fought before. Hence, Luo Yunyang wasn’t particularly happy when he heard Long Xinyue’s greeting.
However, it was very normal for Long Xinyue to pay her respects to Luo Yunyang given his current cultivation base.
“Skip the formalities!” Luo Yunyang gently tapped Long Xinyue’s head and strolled into the huge building.
Long Xinyue was surprised by Luo Yunyang’s skyrocketing status progression. As he walked past her and into the huge building, a man standing beside Long Xinyue sneered, “What is there to be proud of? Does he really think that he became a Heavenly Venerate simply by relying on an object?”
The man, who sounded unhappy with Luo Yunyang, was beating around the bush to please Long Xinyue.
In his opinion, Long Xinyue must have hated Luo Yunyang to the core ever since her defeat while competing for the Heavenly Venerate True Body. Thus, his attitude would surely irritate her.
He was too busy feeling proud of himself to expect that Long Xinyue would send a slap across his face and chide him. “Is a Heavenly Venerate someone you can belittle? Scram!”
Long Xinyue’s slap made the man’s face turn scarlet. Although he was fuming with anger, he knew that it was practically impossible for him to take revenge.
Long Xinyue simply paid no further attention to him. Instead, she looked at the huge building as if she was longing for something.
When Luo Yunyang walked up to the huge building, he saw more than a dozen martialists sitting in the middle of the huge hall. Despite the many people present, the huge hall still felt somewhat cold and silent.
“I’m Muyuan, Brother Yunyang. Please have a seat here.” An old man in white robes greeted Luo Yunyang when he saw him.
Many people shifted their attention to Luo Yunyang as the old man greeted him. There were various expressions on their faces, some curious and some unfriendly. However, most of them looked disdainful.
Utterly disdainful.
Luo Yunyang knew the reason for the stares he was receiving. However, he wouldn’t start a feud with those Heavenly Venerates just because of something insignificant.
Hence, he simply smiled at Muyan before casually sitting down. After taking a seat himself, Muyan began to address the group of people. “This time, I encountered a race while visiting the east void. I wonder if any of you have seen it before.”
Muyan Heavenly Venerate waved his sleeves as he spoke and several figures appeared in front of Luo Yunyang and the others. Luo Yunyang’s face stiffened when he saw these figures.
He was very familiar with them. Suddenly, his blood started to surge uncontrollably.
The Mysterious Underworld Race! He had actually encountered the Mysterious Underworld Race in the Mysterious Great Sky Cosmos.
Just as Luo Yunyang was pondering why the Mysterious Underworld Race would appear here, the Mysterious Underworld beings started to point towards him and shout at Luo Yunyang and the group of people.
Although Luo Yunyang had had plenty of contact with them in the past, he had not learned their language. However, now that he had attained the Heavenly Venerate level, he instantly knew what those people were talking about.
“You bugs need to surrender now. The great Mysterious Underworld Race is on the move. We’ll reach your place very soon.”
“Surrender now and we’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, all of you will die without a proper burial!” The taller figure, who was speaking in an overbearing tone, acted like he was the commander and screamed at Luo Yunyang and the others.
Luo Yunyang could sense that the Mysterious Underworld being wasn’t lying as he sent a trace of his consciousness towards the being.
He wanted to know what was going on by scanning the Mysterious Underworld being’s head.
However, when his consciousness shrouded the Mysterious Underworld being, Luo Yunyang felt that being start to crumble!
The being’s body shattered as Luo Yunyang prepared to retract his consciousness!
