Chapter 719: A Gale Has Risen, Driving Clouds Away

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

“As the miserable wind blows, the water gets cold easily. Once Old Yak leaves, he will no longer return...”

As it was time to part, the big black yak was drinking large bowls of wine and eating large pieces of meat as he loudly sang to the bright moon hanging in the sky in parting with everyone.

A group of people listened silently. Even though big black yak hadn’t entered the depths of Mount Eternal yet, but perhaps the ending would be just exactly like what he was singing—once he left, they might never see him again.

“Old Yak, don’t be pessimistic! We believe you can come back alive!”

“Big Brother Yak, if you really can’t do it, let’s not go anymore. Listening to you sing to the moon like this, this Old Donkey’s heart is breaking and I want to cry!”

A group of people spoke up. On this one rare occasion that the Manchurian Tiger was in the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice, he drunkenly said that he could replace big black yak in going. If his brain dropped off, wouldn’t he be left with a scar the size of a lower millstone? It wasn’t anything serious!

“Why are you guys so dispirited? How can you have the energy to sigh? This Old Yak feels that if I don’t recite another poem as the time of departure comes closer, it’ll appear as though I lack literary grace and literary excellence. Come, come, come! Let’s have another verse!” Big black yak cleared his throat and loudly continued, “A gale has risen, driving clouds away; I’ll return to my hometown when my prestige spreads across the four seas!”

“How about that? I sang of departure with no return just now, but didn’t I sing of return now? This Old Yak will inevitably return alive and guarantee that I’ll reappear in the world again!” exclaimed big black yak before he fiercely chugged a jug of wine. He then threw the wine jug down, smashing it into pieces with a bang and said, “Let’s be on our way!”

After which, he followed Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng on their way and entered the depths of the monastery.

“Big Brother Yak, bring this along with you!”

A group of people chased after him and shoved a jade pot in his hands.

“No. Leave this kind of great medicine behind. Don’t waste it on me!” Big black yak declined.

“Old Yak, just take it. You’re going to do something big, so you must stay alive!” urged the group of people for him to take it along with him.

Even Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng nodded unanimously. In the end, Old Yak kept a pot of golden medicinal liquid that was extracted from Innocuous Divine Physique Zhou Shang’s body.

One shouldn’t look down on such a small pot because it was all essence!

Innocuous Divine Physique Zhou Shang’s blood had been cleansed tens of times as it was continuously refined through simmering and purifying. In the end, the product was this pot of great medicine that everyone gave Old Yak to take on his journey!

After that, Old Yak, Ouyang Feng, and Yellow Ox delved deep into Mount Eternal’s refinement ground.

In only just an instant after they walked into the dense fog, it was as though the world had transformed—the Big Dipper had turned and the stars had moved. Everything changed. The party sending them off and their voices disappeared in that split second.

In front of them, the Northern wind swooped to the ground, snapping the white grass. The dried up bones on the ground followed suit and flew up. This was a battlefield that appeared to bear an extremely desolate air to it. A few broken banners were stuck in the ground, making whipping sounds in the wind.

Many of which were corpses that spanned as far as the eye could see. The sound of wind wailing came from above the dark red soil.

Other than that, indistinct figures walked over from afar. After that, they howled and attacked the trio.

Those were undead that were all skin and bones. At this moment, glaring light flowed from their eye sockets. They weren’t of clear consciousness, but they had the desire to kill.

“Attack!”

The trio roared and charged onward.

The moon hung high in the air here, too, but it was a little frigid and dismal. Following the intensity of the battle on the battlefield, even that full moon was dyed with the color of blood and was a little scarlet.

Clank, clank, clank!

Sparks flew about in all directions. Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng didn’t dare to be careless even if they had entered this place on more than one occasion. They wielded their own long sword and large halberd as they violently attacked over here.

But this was an ancient battlefield. Countless shadows wearing armors were densely packed together as they kept on attacking.

The undead were roaring loudly; tens of thousands of them looked like a pack of devils breaking out from hell and attacking in this direction.

Deafening roars of ferocious birds and beasts came from the sky.

One could see a few winged dragons flapping their rotten wings as they spat out large areas of black mist while they dove down.

Other than that, the Western black dragon and silver dragon opened their mouths and spat out rays after rays of runed light that bore the scent of their rotten breath as they attacked from a high altitude.

The corpses of ancient Asian mythological beasts such as the bone dragon, Tao Tie, and Qiong Qi were present on the ground. At this moment, it was just like they were recovering. The earth collapsed and dust permeated in the night sky. When they roared, it was as though claps of thunder suddenly rang out and shook the world. Countless monsters appeared with bloodshot eyes as they attacked to the front.

Yellow Ox, Ouyang Feng, and big black yak only had one target—a three-legged demonic cauldron in the deepest regions of the forbidden land.

This was the conclusion they came to after seriously looking into the matter many times. The three-legged demonic cauldron was the key object in the demon race’s holy land. For there to be a possibility to control it, three life forms had to grab ahold of one cauldron leg each and conduct a blood sacrifice to obtain the land’s approval.

That was because they had looked into many of Mount Eternal’s steles these days and made conjectures about many things based on the engravings left behind by their predecessors.

“Attack!” Screams of attack shook the sky. When they really attacked, it was as though the undead and various monsters on the battlefield had really resurrected—they could open their mouths to scream and howl.

Furthermore, when the cutting edge of the sword landed on their bodies, it was no longer like chopping wood, but rather blood really splashed out.

Wounds appeared on Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng’s bodies in the intense fight at close quarters. They were dyed with blood, but they kept pressing on as they violently attacked their enemies in front of them.

As for big black yak, he was in a slightly more bitter state. A metal lance had pierced through his chest, and a broken sword was stuck into his shoulder; a bone lance was nailed into his back while his abdomen was covered with teeth marks from giant beasts, too.

His body was covered in blood, but he was very brave and fierce. With reddened eyes, he wielded his curved full moon blade formed from his large horn and ferociously attacked onward.

In the end, they escaped this battlefield and entered a zone full of life, but under the moonlight, there was a kind of chilly air too.

“There are mutant fruits here, but there are plants that kill, too, as well as various terrifying life forms. Be careful!” warned Yellow Ox.

Just as it finished talking, a golden ant the size of a fist flew over at top speed. Its teeth were very sharp like two knives that glittered like frost and snow as it wanted to pinch Yellow Ox’s throat to smithereens.

Bang!

Yellow Ox punched out with his fist and shattered it to pieces.

However, a group of golden ants took to the air in the jungle and also attacked. Not far off, many gold devouring beasts like jackals and wolves madly pounced over. Their bodies were completely silver white and they liked to eat metal, but they, too, liked to take lives.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The big black yak staggered as more than ten bloody holes appeared all over his body. Monsters that went by the name of ground dragon had pierced through his body. They were only slightly longer than a third of a meter, but their whole body was solid like a sharp sword and they could easily pierce metal.

The trio was up against more than ten thousand monsters. In the end, big black yak had sustained serious injuries, unlike Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng.

“Old Black, if you really can’t do it anymore, we’ll send you out of the fray!” This time, even Ouyang Feng couldn’t look askance to this as he seriously spoke. He was worried big black yak couldn’t hold on any longer.

Big black yak shook his head, insistent on proceeding forth as he said, “No, based on the records on the stele, the three-legged demonic cauldron can only be activated with three people. If I don’t go, no matter how powerful you two are, you’re still one person short.”

“Drink a bit of Innocuous Divine Physique’s blood medicine.” Yellow Ox asked him to tend to his wounds and not to stinge on the great medicine he had in his possession.

Big black yak shook his head and said, “No, I’ll leave this thing aside first. I still feel that we might need to use some special divine blood when we’re blood sacrificing that three-legged demonic cauldron.”

“Old Black, don’t exert yourself too much. Drink up. The blood of Divine King Ouyang is divine, too. When the time comes, I can offer a bit as sacrifice.”

Big black yak nodded and said, “Leave it behind first. I’ll drink it when I really can’t hold on any longer.”

“Old Black, don’t be impetuous. I know you hid a stele which dictates the method of blood sacrificing the three-legged demonic cauldron as inferred by our predecessors. It states that we have to offer our bodies as sacrifice, but don’t believe it.” Yellow Ox was incomparably serious for him not to be rash.

In reality, he had snuck a peek at that stele. Even though big black yak had hid it away, Yellow Ox had already seen it a long time ago.

After Ouyang Feng heard what Yellow Ox said, he was taken aback and said, “Old Black, you’re really quite something! Don’t be foolish! If you sacrificed yourself, how could we accept that? Could we watch our brother die with our eyes wide open? Also, Chu Feng will not agree to that, either. Do you want us to have a guilty conscience for the rest of our lives?”

“I feel like I’m always holding you guys back. But now that I finally have a chance to shine, I wanted to try it out. Relax, I have a thick skin. I won’t die for I have the greatest amount of blood!” drivelled big black yak.

“No!” Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng shook their heads.

“Let’s go! Onward!” After big black yak recovered, he waved his hand and took the lead to charge forth first.

In Kunlun, Chu Feng was chatting endlessly and he was foaming at the mouth. At long last, he had reasoned with the old sacred tree and got a large pot of pollen from it.

“Careful, don’t let it get on your body. If not, it’ll smelt your body and you’ll turn into a human weapon!” warned the Army Refinement Sacred Tree.

Whoosh!

Chu Feng immediately disappeared without a trace.

“Tiny brat, you run when you gain something good. You agreed to chat with this old man, so where are you!?” bellowed the old tree.

Chu Feng had long since travelled a thousand miles. He really couldn’t stand it any longer because he had accompanied the old tree in talking through the middle of the night. His saliva was going to dry up and smoke was going to rise from his throat already. In the end, the old tree still listened with keen interest, but he was going to vomit blood.

Especially since the old tree was a chatterbox himself as he talked along with Chu Feng without end.

Jiangning, Mount Zhijing.

Chu Feng returned again and immediately dove deep underground to look for Overlord Chu. After which, Overlord Chu took him to the small world located at the depths of the Earth’s core which had lingering primal chaos qi.

“You’ve come. But did you think it through clearly. Once I walk out from here, my actions will be unpredictable. Maybe I won’t be able to return to the past and will kill without boundaries, washing the starry sky with blood and becoming the source of a disaster, especially with regards to this planet...”

That deep and low voice, that hoarse tone, came from within the ancient coffin. It bore a trace of fanaticism as well as borderless brutality, resembling a devil that was waiting to be released from his shackles.

At this moment, Chu Feng hesitated. There was a wave of palpitation in his heart. Was he saving the mother planet or was he releasing blood and chaos?

He even held doubt as to whether that old man, whose brain had something wrong with it and was only left with the will to massacre and be tyrannical, had deceived him and was actually trying to break free himself.

“Give it to me when you’ve thought it through. This kind of pollen can smelt mother-of-all-gold, but it requires time, too, especially since the Yang realm’s mother-of-all-gold is even more terrifying. Moreover, there are supreme almighty runes within it that would require more than half a day’s time to do so at the very least,” came a deep and low voice from within the ancient coffin along with intense gasps for breath. It was as though a prehistoric ferocious beast was accumulating energy and wanted to breakthrough its cage.
