Chapter 194: Dead?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the race track, the mechanical Phoenix Firebird disintegrated, transforming into fiery red particles. From within emerged a new phoenix!

Unlike the previous large mechanical phoenix, this new phoenix, tail excluded, was only about ten feet long. Nalan Yu didn’t stay in the cockpit; instead, she stood on the back of the flying phoenix!

In contrast, the Ice Dragon Chariot took a different approach; its body began to shrink as some space law was activated.

Blue light burst forth, turning into a beam of light that shot straight towards the finish line!

“It seems the champion of this race will likely be between these two teams…

Wait, the thirteenth team is also charging!”

“Boom!”

The lid of the bronze coffin slid open, then stood upright, and a bronze sphere suddenly shot out.

“This is… the cockpit of the thirteenth team!” exclaimed the commentator.

“Inside the bronze coffin lies another flying boat!”

Like a comet, the bronze sphere, trailing a stream of light, crossed the finish line at an unbelievable speed.

“The first to cross the finish line is our special guest team!” The commentator’s voice was flushed with excitement as the arena erupted in cheers.

Even though the special guest team’s results were not ranked, in the eyes of the audience, the true champion of this Flying Boat Race had been decided.

Nalan Yu crossed the finish line second, her superb piloting skills earning her the gold medal of the tournament.

Ao Sheng and Ao Yuan followed closely behind.

For Ao Sheng, the runner-up position was sufficient, as the top three would receive awards personally from the Empress of Shattered Cloud City.

Following the Ice Dragon Chariot was the Jade Bone Sect’s white bone chariot.

In the final sprint, the white bone chariot transformed into a giant skeleton, engaging in a fight with the Tree People Tribe’s wooden giant.

But the Tree People cultivators didn’t expect the Jade Bone Sect cultivators to fight without honor.

The white bone giant, while fighting, threw its own head out, which clung tightly to the huge tree person.

The Tree People, using wood magic for natural growth, lacked the flexibility of disassembly.

So, they could only watch helplessly as their enemy, now just a head, made a getaway.

The bronze sphere’s hatch opened, and Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu, hand in hand, stepped out with smiles.

Ye Banzhuang, having concealed her form, hopped along beside them.

The atmosphere in the arena was jubilant, with loud drums, fireworks, and a sea of people waving flags in celebration of the successful conclusion of the race.

Since the top three were undisputed, the Flying Boat Race quickly moved to the award ceremony.

The dignified and majestic Empress of Shattered Cloud City, dressed in a luxurious gown, appeared on stage.

On the podium, the three winning teams paid their respects to the ruler of the Demon Immortal Kingdom.

Ye Banzhuang nodded in acknowledgment. She approached the champion, Nalan Yu, and smiled slightly, “Is this the third time I’m presenting you with an award?”

“Yes, your Majesty,” replied Nalan Yu, her normally aloof demeanor melting into a lively and radiant smile.

“But this is my first time winning the championship.”

“You’ve done well. Keep it up,” Ye Banzhuang said, handing her the trophy.

Then came Ao Sheng and Ao Yuan.

Ao Sheng looked eagerly at the approaching Empress, his smile nearly reaching the heavens.

Ao Yuan rolled her eyes at her brother.

From the moment the Empress started awarding Nalan Yu, Ao Sheng had been craning his neck, almost as long as a tortoise’s.

Ye Banzhuang approached Ao Sheng and sighed.

Having such an enthusiastic fan was somewhat troublesome.

Still, the award had to be presented. She extended the trophy, which Ao Sheng and Ao Yuan accepted together.

As Ye Banzhuang activated her magic, Ao Sheng suddenly felt everything around him blur.

It was as if he was cut off from the world.

The Shattered Cloud Empress in front of him disappeared, replaced by a young girl dressed in palace attire.

“This is my true form,” Ye Banzhuang said softly.

Ao Sheng’s mouth fell open, stunned.

He felt as if something within his Dao heart had shattered.

Deep within the Demon God Mountain.

A figure in a white robe and hooded cap was flying unsteadily through the air, his flight path erratic.

“I’m almost there, almost…” muttered the elder cultivator from the Great Light He uncontrollably plummeted from the sky, barely managing to support his body and prevent a fall.

His exposed skin was covered in web-like cracks, eerily writhing as if alive.

Staggering forward, the elder cultivator eventually reached a small valley.

He tore off his human skin mask, revealing a face devoid of features, except for the strange patterns converging into an eye.

In the center of this eye, the flesh parted to reveal a blood-red eyeball.

He stopped in front of a rock wall, as the eyeball indicated he had reached his destination.

Feeling along the wall, he found a recessed spot and pressed the eyeball against it.

Blood trickled from the eye into the rock, causing the wall to glow, spreading from the recess to the entire surface.

As the wall illuminated completely, the elder cultivator staggered away, collapsing to the ground.

Compared to his previously robust form, his condition was now dire.

His body was emaciated, his hair turned white, skin sagged like tree bark, and his nails were cracked and dry.

He looked more like a dried corpse than a human. Yet, the drained elder had a faint smile on his face.

“Greetings… Divine Being,” he murmured.

Bright, clear light shone from the rock wall.

Under this light, the elder’s body underwent a miraculous transformation.

His withered body filled out, his white hair darkened and grew wildly, reaching his ankles.

His bent back straightened, and his dry nails fell off, replaced by sharp, black talons.

His muscles grew, his height increased by half a foot, and dark demonic patterns emerged on his skin.

He slowly stood up, his robe now straining against his muscular body. The old man’s consciousness was obliterated, replaced by a new entity.

The white-robed demonic figure howled to the sky.

A third eye opened on his forehead.

He strode confidently towards the valley’s exit.

Just then.

A mile away, a brilliant blue light burst forth, striking the demonic figure.

With a loud ‘boom,’ his body exploded.

He was dead.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu, observing from a distance, were puzzled.

What was that?!

The old man went in, the old man fell down.

The demonic figure rose, the demonic figure came out, the demonic figure was gone.

It was like watching a silent farce.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu turned their heads simultaneously, looking toward a distant mountain peak, part of the central section of Demon God Mountain.

They exchanged glances and flew towards it.

Confronting each other on the mountain, the area was silent, saying nothing.

Lu Xuan raised his fist and punched.

“Boom—I’

The mountain shook, the ground collapsed, trees fell, rocks tumbled down, startling countless birds and animals.

Beneath the soil, a faint blue light appeared.

Having cleared a large area, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu widened their eyes at the sight.

Silver-white walls, seemingly cast from a special metal, were covered with a blue energy layer.

Lu Xuan pressed his hand against the wall, applying a bit of force. The energy barrier lit up, numerous hexagons dispersing his strength.

Facing the highly technological structure before them.

“Let’s go in and take a look,” Lu Xuan suggested, smiling as he touched the silver-white wall.

He seemed to have discovered something very interesting..
