314: Chapter 314 Showing off is a crime; the Heavenly Demon wants to devour the Great Dao.
The ancient characters on the stone slab erupted with a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire secret chamber as bright as day.
Su Changge instinctively retracted his hand, frowned, and looked at the glowing stone slab, feeling a bit panicked inside.
【Damn, what's going on? Is this stone slab a bomb? I only touched it once, surely it can't be that bad?】
Zhao Tian and the War God Remnant Soul also became tense, instinctively stepping in front of Su Changge, watching the glowing stone slab vigilantly, fearing that it might suddenly explode and hurt Su Changge.
After a few seconds, the golden light slowly dimmed, and the ancient characters on the stone slab actually floated up automatically, drifting in mid-air. One by one, the golden characters combined into dynamic images, clearly appearing before Su Changge.
Su Changge looked at those images, his expression slowly becoming solemn.
The first image displayed a battlefield from the ancient era, where countless star Cultivators wearing silver armor were fighting against a group of strange, misshapen monsters exuding black mist.
Those monsters were extremely ugly; some had three heads, others had over a dozen arms. The black mist on their bodies was highly corrosive; ordinary Cultivators would be instantly corroded until not even their bones remained upon contact. The Cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and the entire earth was stained red with blood.
In the second image, three War Gods wearing golden armor appeared; they were the masters of the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins, the Ancient War God and his two brothers. The three of them joined forces, leading the remaining Cultivators in a desperate resistance, beating those black monsters back until they retreated to the current location of the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins.
In the third image, in order to permanently trap these monsters, the three War Gods did not hesitate to burn their own Divine Soul and lives, setting up a super Seal covering the entire Shattered Star Ancient Ruins, sealing all the black monsters deep beneath the ground of the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins. They themselves, due to the exhaustion of their Divine Soul, experienced Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul to guard the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins and protect the Seal.
After the last image disappeared, the golden characters in mid-air formed a paragraph, clearly appearing before Su Changge.
"Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons are bloodthirsty by nature and enjoy consuming the Divine Soul of living beings. They break the Seal once every hundred thousand years, at which time living beings will suffer, and the Three Realms will face disaster. Now that the Seal has loosened, we hope future generations will reinforce the Seal and save the common people from misery."
Su Changge looked at that paragraph, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped up on the spot.
【Damn? Seriously? I just wanted to get the Shattering Star Art to show off, how did I get involved in such a huge mess?】
【Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons? They sound really awesome; as someone at the Qi Refining First Layer, can I even beat them? When they really break the Seal, won't I be the first one to be eaten?】
Su Changge was panicking inside, but on the surface, he remained nonchalant, as if he had known about this all along. He even nodded slightly, revealing an "as expected" expression.
Zhao Tian and the War God Remnant Soul looked at those images, their faces turning pale with fright. They never expected that something so terrifying was sealed beneath the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins, and that it was about to break the Seal.
They had heard the legends of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons; in the ancient era, three great experts at the War God level joined forces, plus hundreds of thousands of star Cultivators fighting with their lives, only then did they barely manage to Seal these Heavenly Demons. Now that the Seal has loosened, relying on the people they have, they simply cannot stop them.
"Mas-Master, what should we do? If the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons break the Seal, the billions of living beings in the entire Lingxu Wasteland will die!" Zhao Tian's voice was trembling uncontrollably. He was a native of the Lingxu Wasteland, and he still had relatives in other parts of the Lingxu Wasteland. If the Heavenly Demons broke the Seal, his relatives would not survive either.
The War God Remnant Soul also knelt down and kowtowed to Su Changge, its golden phantom trembling slightly.
"Master, you possess vast Divine Ability and can even perceive the breath of the Dao, and you can sever people's Karma with a wave of your hand. You must have a way to reinforce the Seal, right? Please, Master, save the billions of living beings in the Lingxu Wasteland!"
Su Changge was about to cry inside. What kind of solution could he possibly have? He was just a high school student who had undergone Transmigration, his cultivation forever stuck at the Qi Refining First Layer. Besides knowing how to show off, he couldn't do anything else. What could he possibly do?
But on the surface, he remained looking unfathomable, waving his hand indifferently.
"What are you panicking about? They are just a bunch of clowns. With me here, they cannot break the Seal."
Anyway, bragging doesn't require paying taxes. Let's stabilize them first. If they really break the Seal, I'll just run away. Anyway, I run fast, and the Three Realms are so big, I can just find a place to hide, and the Heavenly Demons won't be able to find me.
Su Changge was calculating in his mind, his expression becoming even more nonchalant, even revealing a trace of disdain, as if he didn't put these Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons in his eyes at all.
Zhao Tian and the War God Remnant Soul felt relieved instantly upon hearing Su Changge's words. That's right, Master is the Master of the Dao, he could easily disable two old devils at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; dealing with the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons must not be a problem. They were simply worrying unnecessarily just now.
Just at this moment, the entire Shattered Star Ancient Ruins suddenly shook violently, as if a magnitude-ten earthquake had occurred. A huge crack split open in the ground, and a thick black mist emerged from the crack, carrying a pungent, fishy stench that made one feel dizzy just by smelling it.
Faintly, one could hear bursts of terrifying roars coming from the crack, as if something was about to crawl out from inside. The roars were filled with bloodthirsty desire.
Su Changge looked at that crack, his mouth twitching, and he was panicking inside.
【Damn? Seriously? Speak of the devil and he appears? I just finished bragging, and you give me this? Are you playing with me?】
Just as he was about to retreat, he felt an extremely terrifying aura within that black mist lock onto him. A hoarse, dry voice, like sandpaper rubbing against stone, came out from the crack and clearly reached his ears.
"The breath of the Dao... It has been a long time since I have eaten something so delicious..."
