Martial Universe

A fiery aura rose up from the crimson mountains. From a distance, they lookedjust like burning mountains. An appearance that was extremely dazzling.

Lin Dong’s gaze was tightly glued onto the enormous cauldron that hovered inthe sky above the mountains. The cauldron was bright red and there were imagesof flames on its surface. The fiery hot ripples that were being continuouslyemitted by it seemed to intend on incinerating the entire sky.

Clearly, this cauldron was the place where Lin Dong and the others weretrapped previously.

Swoosh!

Soon after Lin Dong appeared on this mountain range, Ling Qingzhu and the YuanCang trio also quickly appeared nearby. Subsequently, the surrounding spacequickly turned distorted as numerous figures were spat out from the distortedspace. Within a short few minutes, the sky above the quiet mountain range werefilled with a sea of people.

Following the appearance of this sea of people, the place also became muchnoisier. Quite a number of people were surveying their surroundings withcautious expressions. Some people even had bloodstains on their bodies. Fromthe looks of it, they had quite a hard time in the Burning Sky Array.

“Lin Dong!”

A joyous voice suddenly appeared from amongst the human figures that spreadacross the sky. Lin Dong turned his head, only to see a large group of figuresrushing over. The ones leading them were Ying Xiaoxiao, Ying Huanhuan and WangYan.

“Are you alright?” Lin Dong sighed in relief when he saw that the three ofthem were fine and hurriedly asked.

“We’re good. This Burning Sky Ancient Stash is too strange…” Ying Xiaoxiaoshook her head. Her face had a grave expression. Clearly, she also had a tasteof just how powerful the Burning Sky Array was.

“Big brother Lin Dong!”

Another young lady’s joyous and melodious voice sounded from the distance.Soon after, Lin Dong saw Qingtan and Chen Gui rushing over from the distance.

Lin Dong was finally completely relieved when he saw the two of them hurryingover. It was fortunate that everyone was fine.

At this moment, the sky was in complete chaos. The members of the variousfactions hurriedly gathered together. For a time, the noise seemed to be aboutto overturn the sky.

“Be careful.”

Lin Dong watched the chaotic sky. After which, his eyes were thrown towardsthe enormous cauldron as he softly cautioned. This cauldron might be a treasurebut he did not believe that it was able to suppress that unknown creature.

“If the situations changes later, all of you must leave immediately!” Lin Dongreminded. This Burning Sky Ancient Stash did not possess numerous treasures aseveryone had imagined. Instead, it held a group of demons that would killeveryone…

When Ying Xiaoxiao and the rest saw Lin Dong’s grave expression, they noddedalthough they did not understand.

“Lin Dong… look at that spot…” Ying Huanhuan suddenly pursed her lips. Herdelicate finger pointed at the tallest mountain in this mountain range. Therewas lava flowing down from the top of it. It was just like a live volcano.

“Oh?”

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes. His sight followed the direction where YingHuanhuan was pointing towards. A moment later, his eyes suddenly focused. Heseemed to have seen a human figure seated in the lava at the mountain peak…

“There is actually someone here?” Lin Dong’s expression changed. He focused ashe looked over, only to discover an extremely shrivelled figure. His body wascovered by a bright red robe. Moreover, Lin Dong could not sense any lifeenergy from his body. It looked just like a shrivelled corpse…

“Is he dead?” Lin Dong knitted his brows and muttered.

“No…” Ying Huanhuan shook her head. An icy blue colour flashed across herlarge eyes as she softly said, “It seems… he can still be considered alive.”

“Still… considered alive?” Lin Dong was clearly stunned by Ying Huanhuanstrange reply. One was either dead or alive. What did it mean by stillconsidered alive?

“I am not certain either… however, I can sense that his life force has notcompletely vanished… moreover… his aura is a little familiar.” Ying Huanhuanknitted her brows and contemplated for a moment before explaining.

Her last sentence was basically spoken in a whisper. Others might not be ableto clearly hear what she had said but Lin Dong could hear some of it. Hispupils shrunk slightly. It was naturally impossible for Ying Huanhuan to havemet the red robed person seated in the lava. However… this did not mean thather previous reincarnation had never met him…

The so-called familiar feeling was very likely something that her previousreincarnator had given her.

“She met him before reincarnating huh…”

Boom!

While Lin Dong’s eyes were focused on the human figure in the lava on themountain, the cauldron in the sky suddenly began to tremble. A loud collisionsound suddenly spread.

“Tsk tsk, old ghost Fen Tian, your broken cauldron cannot suppress thisgeneral!”

A monstrous black fog suddenly spread out from the bright red cauldron whileit shook. A piercing and hearty laughter that contained an endlessly sinisterfeeling swept across the mountain range.

The black fog gathered outside the cauldron. One could vaguely see a scarletlight flashing within it, like the eyes of a devil. It caused fear in those whohad been looked upon by it.

“So many ants…”

The scarlet light swept over the human figures that filled the sky. Soonafter, a sinister voice emerged from the black fog. In the next instant,countless black rays of light suddenly shot out.

Chi chi!

The black rays of light swiftly penetrated some people who were not able tododge. Next, everyone were stunned as they watched the bodies of those who werestruck begin to gradually wither away. In the end, not even their bones remainas they turned into ashes and scattered.

The entire sky immediately became chaotic. Shocked expression surged overeveryone’s faces.

“Leave quickly!”

Lin Dong inhaled a deep breath of air and immediately cried out in a deepvoice. This unknown creature that had survived since the ancient times wasclearly not something that they could match up to. Remaining behind would onlybe akin to seeking their own deaths.

Ying Xiaoxiao and the rest hurriedly nodded when they heard this. They couldsimilarly sense a rich danger from the black fog creature.

Lin Dong and the rest swiftly pulled back. Numerous black rays rushed pass allaround them. None of those struck by it could withstand it and were directlyreduced to ashes. For a time, ashes drifted over the sky, appearing like astorm of grey.

Lin Dong stood at the back of the group. His eyes were extremely cautious asthey watched the black rays that shot over from all directions. His pupilssuddenly shrunk in the next moment. A black ray of light had finally found itstarget and shot explosively towards them.

Lin Dong’s eyes turned grave and uncertain as he watched the black ray thatshot towards them. This was because even he did not have the confidence toreceive this attack that contained an extremely mysterious energy…

However, regardless of how uncertain he felt at this moment, he could notwithdraw. This was because Qingtan, Ying Huanhuan and the rest were behind him.

Lin Dong inhaled a deep breath of air as majestic Yuan Power surged out.However, he was just about to intervene and block the black ray when a figurestood in front of him first. That bouncing jet-black ponytail belonged to YingHuanhuan.

“You!”

Lin Dong was clearly greatly shocked by Ying Huanhuan’s action. He was justabout to berate her when the latter shook her head and softly said, “You cannotblock that attack.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was taken aback. It was not because of the words.but the additional trace of the bone deep icy chill that was present in YingHuanhuan’s voice. This coldness was not something her original self possessed…

Swoosh!

The black ray arrived like lightning, while an icy blue colour graduallysurged out from Ying Huanhuan’s big eyes. Behind her, Lin Dong watched as herjet-black hair started to show signs of turning icy blue…

Lin Dong’s eyes became focused at this moment. Soon after, he clenched hisfiss as a black tree trunk flashed and appeared. Clearly, he was planning toimmediately take action if something went wrong. At this moment, he no longerhad the time to care about whether he could block the strange black ray.

Swish!

The black ray finally rushed over in the next instant. Finally, it unleashed aripple of death in front of the eyes of Lin Dong and the rest…

“Humph!”

The split second before the black ray could strike Ying Huanhuan, the redrobed human figure seated in the lava on the mountain in the distance suddenlyopened his eyes. A flash of light flickered deep within those eyes.

“Ice… Ice Master…”

The red robed human figure raised his head. His eyes looked through spacebefore finally stopping on Ying Huanhuan’s figure. An unusually hazy and hoarsevoice that was filled with an ancient flavour slowly echoed outwards.
