Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 389: Fierce Beast or Divine Beast? Just Speak English
Celestial Trace Abyss.
Without hesitation, Giant Rock stepped past the stone stele.
However, with just the first step, his expression changed dramatically!
BOOM!
That single step felt as if a small mountain had suddenly crashed down upon him.
He had no choice but to mobilize more Qi Blood to keep moving forward.
BOOM!
Another small mountain…
If the gravity before was like a frog in slowly boiling water—uncomfortable but bearable—then the gravity now was like being thrown directly into a pressure cooker with the valve welded shut!
The final thousand meters.
The Battle Armor on Giant Rock had long since crumbled. Now, he could only rely on his own immense Qi Blood Power to support himself.
When he reached the final hundred meters, Giant Rock’s knees buckled, and he nearly fell to them.
“Damn it… What… what is this godforsaken place…”
Nearby, Viper, who had also rushed to catch up, afraid of being left behind, was not faring any better.
At this moment, even speaking counted as strenuous activity!
’What should we do?’
’Retreat?’
The two exchanged a glance, and both saw the insane, blood-red glint in the other’s eyes.
No retreat!
If they retreated now, wouldn’t all the suffering they had endured be for nothing? Wouldn’t the opportunity to reach the Emperor Realm, which was right within their grasp, be handed to someone else?
That’s just how people are.
The higher the sunk cost, the harder it is to turn back.
“Move!”
Giant Rock let out a low roar and took another step forward.
The final hundred meters!
’For this opportunity, what does this little difficulty even count for?’
…
At the same time.
In the giant pit at the base of the final stone wall.
The Outer Realm Fierce Beast suddenly lifted its head again.
In its ghastly green eyes, the once-dead pupils began to twitch frantically, as if they’d been shot full of adrenaline.
Suddenly, a cunning glint appeared in its eyes.
Immediately after, its body began to tremble violently.
KRAK! KRAK!
A series of bone-chilling sounds of dislocating joints rang out.
The sharp bone spurs on its body were actually retracting forcefully back into its flesh!
Its layer of drab, scaly skin began to rapidly shed and dissolve, like a snake sloughing its skin.
“Ugh… Ah…”
The Fierce Beast convulsed in agony.
Just over ten seconds later.
The original monster, which resembled a demon from hell, had vanished.
In its place was a creature that was pure white, with soft fur, emanating a faint, gentle golden light.
Its form looked somewhat like a lion and also somewhat like a mythical Qilin. A translucent, crystalline horn even grew from the top of its head.
It lay there, no longer ferocious, but instead exuding a sacred, majestic, and inviolably noble aura.
If one were to ignore the trace of tyranny and cunning that occasionally flashed in the depths of its eyes, it would look for all the world like a genuine, auspicious Holy Beast!
…
At the same time.
Gu Yuexi also stepped past the stone stele.
She glanced uncertainly toward the top of the stele… A moment ago, through the Blood Covenant, she had faintly sensed the aura of “Dead Mosquito.”
But in just an instant, the aura vanished.
’Was it just my imagination?’
Under such a powerful gravitational Law, her Perception seemed to have weakened somewhat.
’Forget it. I’ll deal with that beast and get what I came for first.’
Gu Yuexi’s eyes were cold as she, too, headed toward the final stone wall.
And this final thousand meters was a difficult journey even for her. She was even slower than Giant Rock and Viper.
After all… she could currently only barely use a tiny bit of the Power of Law. In terms of pure Qi Blood Power or Mental Power, there was still a huge gap between her and the two King Realm experts ahead.
However, although she was slow,
Gu Yuexi was far more composed.
…
Finally.
After paying the price of nearly seventy percent of their Qi Blood Power,
Giant Rock and Viper had finally… dragged themselves to the edge of the deep pit.
“We… we made it!”
“Is this the end?”
The two stood at the edge of the pit and peered down.
Although they couldn’t see what was below, a faint, profound aura drifted up from it.
It was as if it were luring them in.
However,
the two were seasoned veterans, after all. Though greedy, they weren’t stupid, and they didn’t rush down rashly.
Just then,
a soft, non-blinding golden light suddenly shone from the bottom of the pit.
Immediately after,
the greyish-white mist that had shrouded the pit rapidly melted and dispersed like snow in the sun.
An aura full of majesty and sanctity emanated from the pit:
“Who… dares disturb my slumber?”
The voice was incomparably grand, carrying a divine, superior air.
The strangest part was,
in this distorted environment with a million times the gravity, the voice was perfectly clear, completely unaffected!
’What kind of realm is this?’
’Emperor Realm?! Or even… higher!’
Giant Rock and Viper trembled, almost falling to their knees on the spot.
The two hurriedly craned their necks to look.
At the bottom of the pit, a “Holy Beast” bathed in sacred golden light, as if it had walked out of a myth, was slowly raising its head, watching them quietly with eyes full of wisdom and compassion.
“This… This is…”
Giant Rock’s tongue was tied; he couldn’t even form a complete sentence.
“I am the Ancient Celestial Sacred Beast.”
The “Holy Beast” spoke again, its tone laced with a hint of loneliness and sorrowful indignation:
“Ten thousand years ago, I was ordered to guard this realm. But I was ambushed by treacherous villains and trapped here by those filthy creatures from the Outer Realm.”
“And I have been trapped for ten thousand long years…”
As it spoke, it let out a very human-like sigh, its tone ancient and weary:
“Since you two have made it this far, it must be fate that has brought us together.”
The “Holy Beast’s” gaze swept over the two of them:
“I see that although you are of the Human Race, your Qi Blood is abundant and your aptitude is acceptable.”
“If you can help me escape, I am willing to form an equal contract with you, acknowledge you as my master, help you achieve supremacy in the Emperor Realm, and join you in slaying the Outer Realm fiends!”
After speaking, the “Holy Beast” held its proud head high, quietly awaiting the duo’s reaction.
However, Giant Rock and Viper just stared at each other, wide-eyed and confused, and began conversing in English:
“What… is it saying?”
“I think… it’s ancient Chinese?”
“We… can’t understand it…”
“Why would a Holy Beast in a Secret Realm of my White Eagle Country be speaking ancient Chinese?”
Just as the two were completely dumbfounded,
a flash of annoyance crossed the Outer Realm Fierce Beast’s eyes.
However, it quickly spoke again, this time a bit awkwardly.
This time, it actually… spoke English:
“i am…”
This time, Giant Rock and Viper finally understood.
The meaning was simple—whoever helped it escape, it would acknowledge as its master, sign a contract with them, and help them reach the Emperor Realm!
Reach the Emperor Realm!
Those four words were enough to drive any Martial Artist insane.
Giant Rock’s breathing instantly became as heavy as an ox’s, his eyes practically bulging out of his head.
Viper, on the other hand, was suspicious by nature. Although his heart was pounding, he still maintained a sliver of caution.
“May I ask, Senior…”
Viper asked cautiously:
“How can we help you escape?”
A flicker of impatience, almost imperceptible, flashed through the “Holy Beast’s” eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
It shifted its body slightly, and the chains rattled.
“These four chains bind my physical body, but they are not the key.”
“The key is the three ’Soul-Corroding Nails.’”
As it spoke, the golden light around its body dimmed slightly, revealing three spots: between its brows, on its chest, and on its spine.
There, three long nails, black as ink and covered in bizarre runes, were shockingly embedded in its flesh!
Just looking at these three nails made one’s soul ache, as if they contained an extremely evil power.
“These are cursed artifacts left by that Outer Realm Evil God back then. They are constantly eroding my Origin.”
“My limbs are bound, so I cannot remove them myself.”
“You two need only pull out these three nails for me, and I will regain my freedom!”
