Chapter 5418: One of the Strongest Existences in the Ancient Era
Despite having lost the black crystal, neither Li Wu nor Feng Ling showed any intention of taking it back. Fear covered their faces.
Big sister. Feng Lings lips were quivering as she looked at Li Wu. Is our lord really still alive?
That didnt seem like a formation. Our lord might really still be alive, Li Wu replied with a frown.
Feng Ling nearly collapsed to the ground.
We plundered our lords treasure when our lord was still alive. Will she kill us? Feng Ling asked worriedly.
We would have already been dead if our lord wished to take our lives, Li Wu replied.
It could be that the black crystal is just a transmission tool, and that our lord isnt here at all. Otherwise, theres no way she would have spared us. She wouldnt have permitted us to covet her treasures, Feng Ling said.
Despite her fragmented memories, she still remembered their master to be a vicious person.
Li Wu chuckled at those words and said, Feng Ling, youre underestimating our lord. Even if the black crystal was just a medium of communication, the fact that she was able to see us through it means that she could have also killed us through it too.
Does this mean that... were free? Feng Ling asked.
Im not sure. Li Wu shook her head.
Feng Lings complexion grew heavy. She was still worried even though their master had said that they werent her subordinates anymore. Tens of thousands of years had already passed since then, but their masters terrifying might was still deeply imprinted in her soul.
Lets go, Li Wu said.
That black crystal was headed in Chu Fengs direction. Big sister, do you think that hell be able to withstand its powers? Feng Ling asked.
Thats a question I should be asking you. You should know him better than me, Li Wu said.
Chu Feng is indeed talented, but the world inside the black crystal is simply too terrifying... I dont know whether Chu Feng will be able to withstand it or not, Feng Ling said.
Dont think too much about it. Itll be best for us to steer clear of our masters affairs, Li Wu said.
Ah... Th-thats right. Feng Ling nodded, but her face remained awfully pale.
Li Wu patted Feng Lings head and consoled her, saying, You dont need to get so worried. Our master would have already killed us if she intended to do so. Since she has chosen to show us mercy, it could only mean that she doesnt blame us. Besides, its a good thing that our master is still alive; thats the greatest backing we can ever dream of.
I understand, but Im still afraid, Feng Ling replied.
Its only normal for you to be afraid. Even the powerhouses of the Ancient Era fear our master! Li Wu said.
Feng Ling nodded in agreement. After all, their master was one of the strongest existences in the Ancient Era.
Speaking of which, how was the Nine Heavens Zenith? The tournament should be over now that youre back, but its weird that the results havent been announced yet, Li Wu asked.
It was postponed, Feng Ling replied.
Postponed? Why? Li Wu asked.
Master Nine Zenith said that there are people missing from the invitation list this time around, and that would undermine the credibility of the tournament. Thus, he declared that it would be postponed for the time being, Feng Ling said.
I see. Did you meet the other juniors? Li Wu asked.
I did. One of them even followed me here, only to get stuck by our masters remnant. Feng Ling chuckled under her breath.
How are they? Is there anyone stronger than you? Li Wu asked.
Theyre just a bunch of entitled kids who have benefited from the shade of the big trees behind them. However, theres one guy from the Immortal Sea Fish Clan who might be a threat to me. I was unable to see through him, Feng Ling said.
Xianhai Shaoyu?
Yes, thats him. He didnt cross blows with anyone, but I can sense that hes very powerful.
Do you think that you can defeat him?
Id naturally be able to beat him if were at the same cultivation level, but the thing is that I dont know what his current cultivation level is, Feng Ling replied confidently.
Thats more like the Feng Ling I know. Lets go! Li Wu said.
Mm! Feng Ling nodded.
...
Meanwhile, Chu Feng was still trying to chase after Li Wu. Through the item he had received from Li Wu, he realized that she wasnt cursed by the Black-feathered Specter. Rather, she was the Black-feathered Specter herself.
That being said, he didnt think that Li Wu was a bad person based on his interactions with her thus far, which was why he wanted to find out more about her. It was a pity that he was unable to find her despite his best effort.
Shoosh!
A flash of black light suddenly rushed in his direction.
Why is this item here? Taking a closer look, Chu Feng realized that it was the black crystal Feng Ling had stolen from him.
Just then, the black crystal released a powerful suction force that drew him in.
The next moment, Chu Feng found himself standing in the middle of vast space. There was light in his surroundings, but it came not from other realms but little specks of blue light.
The larger specks floated alone, whereas the smaller specks lined up to form little snakes and swiftly bolted around the realm. Each of these blue specks had a rune on them, suggesting that they carried something. All of them were revolving around an incomparably huge bundle of blue light.
Sitting in the middle of the bundle of blue light was the black crystal that had dragged Chu Feng in here, just that it was many times larger. Granted that it was still smaller than the bundle of blue light, but it still easily spanned the size of thousands of realms stuck together.
What truly unnerved Chu Feng wasnt the colossal bundle of blue light but the black crystal.
There were countless chains on the colossal bundle of blue light, each of them plastered with a humongous talisman containing a powerful sealing formation. The chains and the talismans formed a complete set to seal off the bundle of blue light and the black crystal.
As a world spiritist, Chu Feng could sense just how powerful these seals were. Even a single one of these seals had more than enough power to obliterate him from the face of the world. It made him shudder just to imagine how powerful the black crystal was.
Hm?
Chu Feng sensed a gaze, which prompted him to turn around. There was a bundle of red aura behind him.
Elder, we have met again, Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
While this bundle of red aura was only around ten meters in diameter, he immediately knew that this was the remnants master. He was initially flustered by the situation, but the appearance of the red aura calmed him down. He sensed that the remnants master was even stronger than the black crystal, such that the latter didnt seem that scary anymore.
