Chapter 116 Grotto Heaven Opens



Some distance away from where Duncan was meditating, Shen Wulong walked out of his hiding spot and looked up at the full moon shining brightly in the sky with a complicated expression on his face.

"The book that my ancestor left said that he had stumbled into a Grotto Heaven that was a remnant from the past era. According to the ancestor, the owner of this Grotto Heaven was probably above the Nascent Soul realm."

"The restricting he had left behind was operating five hundred years ago and no matter how hard my ancestor tried, he wasn't able to break through it and chance upon the wonders of the ancient cultivation world."

"That had been his biggest regret before ascending to the higher realm. Two hundred years ago, my ancestor had found a similar ruin and obtained a token that could allow someone to unseal such an ancient ruin one time. He was hunted down like a dog for this token," Shen Wulong muttered sadly looking at an ancient-looking token in his hand.

"However, my ancestor had somehow managed to send this token to the lower world before his death. Ever since then, all of my family has revered this token as a sacred object and had kept it hidden from the eyes of others. They knew that if the news was leaked, then doom would come for them. They had been afraid to use it as well," Shen Wulong said as he a somber look.

"In the end, what must happen will always happen. Someone had somehow found out about this token and news was leaked. My entire clan was annihilated to the last men, women, and children leaving me the only one alive. I had escaped with this token three years ago from the central continent on the last order of my clan's patriarch."

"And now, here I stand, before the biggest regret of my ancestor, with the thing that caused the doom of my entire clan from the ancestor to little children. I hope this thing will be worth their sacrifice. I hope this will give me enough strength to avenge them. Please, don't disappoint me," Shen Wulong prayed sincerely and threw the token high into the air.

The token flew high into the air and came to contact with a kind of sealed space causing formation markings to start appearing in midair. The scene was so dazzling that everyone in the vicinity was attracted by it. Even Duncan who was meditating seriously was alerted by the change in heaven and earth.

Several beasts that were in that region started fleeing in a panicked manner. Meanwhile, several beasts in the distance hurried toward the region in an overwhelming manner.

Roars and screeches filled the air as powerful demonic beasts converged in the area causing a ruckus. Duncan's eyes were filled with weaker demonic beasts running away and stronger demonic beasts rushing toward the restriction.

Meanwhile, the token slowly rose further and further up. As it rose, it started thrumming with vigor in mid-air causing a violent sound to start emitting throughout the region. Everyone in the vicinity felt their head throb in pain from the sound emitted by the token. Several demonic beasts that were in the air fell down unceremoniously

The feeling lasted for a few moments before the token was set ablaze.

Shen Wulong's heart thumped anxiously as he saw the token on fire. He didn't know what he would do if this token didn't open this restriction. He had nothing else to live for if the token turned out to be a bust.

Some distance away, two grey-cloaked figures looked at the distant phenomenon with desire in their eyes.

"Senior sister, is this the phenomenon of the Grotto Heaven appearing?" the man asked the female anxiously.

"It looks like Shen Wulong had indeed succeeded. We need to enter the Grotto Heaven before others enter it as well. These kinds of Grotto Heavens are left over from the past era. After millennia of being sealed in dense spiritual energy, a large number of heavenly treasures would have been born inside that region. We need to move fast if we want to avoid being late," the female said with desire naked in her voice.

"Then, why aren't we going over now?" the man asked in confusion.

"Until the Grotto Heaven's restriction is lifted, only a fool will try to enter it," the female snorted. "You can't barge into them with brute force. We will wait for the restriction to be lifted before heading over. There is no hurry."

"Looks like there is a fool heading there already, senior sister," the man said with glee as he saw a dark figure rushing towards the restriction from some distance away.

"It's a pity. Heavenly Demon Sect is going to lose a Golden Core realm disciple," the female snorted.

"It wouldn't be a big loss if they lost such a stupid disciple," the man shrugged.

At that moment, the dark figure rushed toward the restriction and tried to break through it. The next moment a brilliant flash emitted from the area and his body was minced into pieces.

Several demonic beasts, that were a little slower than the figure, saw this scene and immediately fled far away in fear. The man's lingering cry echoed through the night causing everyone's hair to stand erect.

​ "That looks like my senior brother. Pity, he wasn't able to keep his life even if I saved him once," Duncan muttered nonchalantly as he watched the restriction slowly fade away.

BANG!

A large explosion happened in midair blanketing everyone's vision with bright light. When the light faded, two large gates seem to appear out of thin air. The gates opened slightly causing dense spiritual energy to descend into the region.

The area around the restriction was bathed with dense spiritual energy and the vegetation in the area became lusher. Shen Wulong stood under the gates and looked up. Excitement filled him as he watched the gates open slowly.

Of all the beings in the region, he was the one closest to the gates. Thus, he could feel their heavy pressure and the dense spiritual energy wafting out of those gates more acutely than anyone.

The next moment his figure vanished and he entered the gates through the small opening.

Shen Wulong's actions were like opening the floodgates. The next moment, every powerful demonic beast that was running away in fear turned and rushed towards the gates.

The two grey-cloaked figures rushed to the gates as well. Within moments a massacre began in the sky in front of the gates as everyone who wanted to enter tried to clear their way.

A large demonic eagle screeched in anger and unleashed a devastating attack against other beasts that were in its way. A tiger demon roared intimidatingly and sprinted through the air. Any unfortunate demonic beast that was in its way was swatted away without a second thought.

Predictably enough, a melee began in midair as the strong demonic beasts in the region jockeyed for position. While the gates were big, the space that had opened up was not really large enough to accommodate multiple demonic beasts at the same time.

The gates were still opening, so the space to squeeze through was really limited. However, every demonic beast wanted to be the first to enter the gates after Shen Wulong. This created a struggle, which ended up driving away weaker beasts from the vicinity.

Just then, icy winds blew freezing a lot of demonic beasts in front of the gates. Duncan watched Shen Wulong's fiancé bring her junior brother and unhurriedly walk towards the gates. Any demonic beast that barred her path was dealt with viciously in a swift manner. An icy whip manifested out of thin air and smacked away those demonic beasts.

Any demonic beast that stood in her way was whipped by the icy whip. When the icy whip made contact with a demonic beast, the demonic beast's entire body froze and shattered into million pieces causing pandemonium to ensue. Duncan felt his soul chill watching Shen Wulong's fiancé massacre strong demonic beasts while walking towards the gates as if she was taking a stroll.

The demonic beasts vacated the area in short order and allowed her way. Shen Wulong's fiancé took her time and walked unhurriedly through the gates while establishing her dominance in the area. Several demonic beasts watched the grey-cloaked duo with fear etched deep in their eyes.

The grey-cloaked duo vanished into the gates and the invisible pressure that has descended onto the area dissipated. Just as the demonic beasts were preparing to enter the gates once more, a deep roar sounded from the distance causing the demonic beasts to tremble in fear.

Duncan felt his heart skip as he watched a huge demonic ape saunter over leisurely. The moment his eyes fell upon the demonic ape, Duncan knew this beast was the overlord of the Grasslands and was also probably one of the culprits in the destruction of his town.

Duncan watched the demonic ape intensely as other demonic beasts gave way to it. When the demonic ape passed over Duncan's head, not even bothering to look below, Duncan felt a mountain-like pressure slam into him. He felt his knees go weak and his legs tremble, as he struggled to stand still.

The moment passed and the demonic ape had already reached the region near the gates. Duncan had yet to recover from the dreadful baleful aura that had impacted him. Duncan knew that the demonic ape hadn't been targeting anybody in particular. It was merely walking by and Duncan already couldn't stand.

If he wanted to take revenge for his town, he needed to not only withstand the pressure emitted, which would be horrible when directed at him directly, and fight this demonic ape to death. This wasn't a small task. It would take him years or decades, or even centuries to grow to that level. And these people will not be staying idle either.

Duncan could feel his weakness very clearly at this moment. To that demonic ape, he was a mere ant at this moment. It could kill him by solely directing its pressure in his direction. And the people who fought it were probably as strong as the demonic ape to send it fleeing back into the Grasslands.

If he wanted to kill them all, Duncan had a long way to go. And Duncan realized the immensity of his task for the first time. He felt his declarations of taking revenge for his town were childish in face of this absolute power. Unless he had equal power, he can forget about doing anything.
