Chapter 5277: Hurry Up If You Wish to Live
The Totem Dragon n had already realized the situation too.
“It really is the demon monk? He isn’t dead?!”
Long Zhen looked at the sky with murderous eyes. His hands cracked from how tightly clenched they were.
“Long Zhen, you aren’t to make a reckless move,” Long Junlin ordered.
He knew that it would be hard for Long Zhen to remain calm in the presence of the culprit who had taken his father’s life, but the current situation called for them to move carefully.
“Milord!”
The experts of the Totem Dragon n turned to Long Junlin for instructions.
“That woman didn’t lie to us. The demon monk is indeed still alive, and he’s after our Totem Dragon n,” Long Junlin said.
He took out a palm-sized golden box that emanated immense energy. He opened the box and carefully ced the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant in before entrusting the box to Long Zhen.
“Milord?” Long Zhen was confused.
“The demon monk hase prepared. There’s no guarantee that our reinforcement will arrive on time. If, by any chance, I am overpowered by the demon monk, you have to leave this ce right away. I’ll cover for you,” Long Junlin instructed.
“Milord, you mustn’t!” Long Zhen eximed.
“Shut your mouth,” Long Junlin roared. “What I’m protecting here is the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant, not you!”
He stuffed the box containing the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant into Long Zhen’s hand. Not daring to defy his orders, Long Zhen could only carefully stow away the box.
Long Junlin turned to the crowd around him and addressed them.
“Everyone, the demon monk hase to exact vengeance on our Totem Dragon n. Retreating is not an option for us. It’ll be all good if we sessfully take down the demon monk, but even if we find ourselves overwhelmed, we mustn’t soil the reputation of our n.
“You should be aware of how important the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant is to us. Even at the cost of all our lives, we must safely deliver the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant out of here!” Long Junlin ordered with a roar.
“Protect the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant with our lives! Uphold the Dragon n’s honor!”
“Protect the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant with our lives! Uphold the Dragon n’s honor!”
“Protect the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant with our lives! Uphold the Dragon n’s honor!”
…
Long Junlin smiled at that sight. He knew that their Totem Dragon n was filled with fearless warriors. He looked toward the sky with determination in his eyes.
A visible passageway had appeared amidst the churning ck aura in the sky. A silhouette could be seen at the end of the passageway—the demon monk.
The demon monk gazed at the crowd below and sneered, “Cultivators of the Totem Gxy, I hope you have been faring well.”
“It’s the demon monk! He’s alive!!!”
An uproar broke out amidst the billions of cultivators.
They had heard about the atrocious deedsmitted by the demon monk centuries ago, so how could they not be frightened by his reappearance? Many immediately attempted to escape from the cage.
“Gah!”
Pitiful cries followed.
The ck chains that had sealed off the entire realm harnessed a suction force that pulled in those who dared to approach it and devoured them whole. With that, no one dared to approach the ck chains anymore.
The remaining cultivators inside the cage were relieved that they hadn’t tried to escape, or else they would have been dead by now. Nevertheless, their foreheads remained tightly knitted, and some even burst out crying.
It was starting to dawn upon them what kind of situation they were in.
“Totem Dragon n, can’t you see that your people are already scared out of their wits? Shouldn’t you show yourself now?” the demon monk shouted as he thrust his palm down.
Boom!
A massive ck hand manifested in the air, covering the entire sky. It harnessed immense destructive prowess that would kill everyone present should itnd.
Shoosh!
A golden light rushed into the sky and struck the massive ck hand, stopping it in ce. Then, the golden light began to suffuse the ck hand almost as if it was lightning traversing within it.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the ck hand dissipated amidst scattering golden light.
“Do not panic. I, Long Junlin, am here.”
A person rose into the air and stood opposite the demon monk. It was none other than Long Junlin.
With a tremor, countless rays of golden light rushed into the sky. Tens of millions of Totem Dragon nsmen emerged from the ground and took their position behind Long Junlin.
Most notably, there were four figures standing alongside Long Junlin. One of them was Long Zhen.
“Lord Long Junlin and Lord Long Zhen are here…”
“Five of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors are here!”
The frightened crowd suddenly felt a sense of security upon seeing Long Junlin and the others. Cries of fear were swiftly reced with cheers of joy.
The demon monk might be powerful, but he wasn’t a match for the Nine gs Dragon Warriors. The cultivators of the Totem Gxy had long heard about the story of how the demon monk was taken down by three of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors back then.
It was a shock that the demon monk was still alive, but this time around, he was up against five of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors. Back then, it had only taken three of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors to take him down.
On top of that, one of them was Long Junlin, one of the Three Masters of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors!
Thus, the crowd thought that the demon monk had made a miscalction here. There was no way the demon monk would have dared to make a move if he knew that Long Junlin was here.
“I guess the Totem Dragon n doesn’t care that much about the Saint Dragon Ancient Remnant. To think that they have only dispatched small fry here,” the demon monk sneered.
“Small fry?”
The crowd was stunned.
How could the demon monk have the guts to call the Totem Dragon n’s line-up ‘small fry’?
“Demon monk, how did you survive the ordeal back then?” Long Junlin asked.
“Curious? Kneel down and I’ll tell you,” the demon monk replied.
Boom!
Right after those words were spoken, a golden dragon charged toward the demon monk with a furious roar. It was Long Zhen. He couldn’t hold himself back and ended up making a move.
Long Zhen’s reputation wasn’t just for show. He had climbed to the position as one of the Nine gs Dragon Warriors with his own strength. The attack he had unleashed upon the demon monk was extremely powerful.
Pah!
Yet, with a casual wave of the demon monk’s hand, the golden dragon was smashed into smithereens amidst a pitiful cry.
The crowd was stunned. They couldn’t believe that the demon monk was able to ovee such an attack so easily. It finally struck them that the demon monk was far stronger than they had imagined.
“You are Long Mo’s son? Calm down, I’ll let you reunite with your father very soon,” the demon monk told Long Zhen.
Shoosh!
A golden light suddenly gushed forth from the Totem Dragon n’s army. It urately struck the demon monk in the sky, knocking him into the depths of the ck aura.
Long Junlin had made his move!
“Construct the formation!” the elder with yellow brows ordered.
The remaining four Nine gs Dragon Warriors channeled their vast martial power to form a massive golden barrier over the sky, protecting everything beneath it.
Boom!
As soon as the martial power barrier was formed, a loud explosion could be heard from the depths of the ck aura. The sh between the golden light and the ck aura produced terrifying shockwaves.
“The Totem Dragon n is prioritizing the safety of their people?” Chu Feng murmured.
The power used to construct the massive golden barrier could have been instead used to augment Long Junlin’s fighting prowess. That would have boosted his chances against the demon monk. Yet, they chose to allow Long Junlin to confront the demon monk alone instead.
On one hand, this showed that they were confident in Long Junlin’s strength. On the other hand, this showed that the Totem Dragon n cared for their people.
“The demon monk clearly isn’t a good person. I hope that the Totem Dragon n wins the battle,” Long Xiaoxiao remarked with uneasy eyes.
Despite what they said earlier about watching a show, the devastating battle unfolding before them had left them in no mood to enjoy the delicacies spread out before them.
“The demon monk is no pushover. I doubt that Long Junlin will be able to swiftly take him down,” Liu Kuo said with a sigh.
While the three of them were focused on the battle in the sky, the white-haired woman continued cultivating with her closed eyes, as if what was happening had nothing to do with her.
“The Totem Dragon n might not be a match for the demon monk,” another woman’s voice sounded.
Chu Feng, Long Xiaoxiao, and Liu Kuo immediately turned over to take a look. The white-haired woman also opened her eyes too.
Another person had appeared in the forest. It was a woman enveloped in white light. It was impossible to make out her facial features, but she was emanating the aura of the Ancient Era.
It was the person whom they had met in the ancient pce back when they were taking the first test.
“Elder, you have finally appeared. Why did you summon us here?” Liu Kuo asked.
“I’m offering you a chance to survive,” the glowing woman said.
“Elder, are you saying that the Totem Dragon n isn’t a match for the demon monk?” Liu Kuo asked.
“That’s hard to say, but there’s a chance that the Totem Dragon n may fall in defeat. If the Totem Dragon n loses the battle, the casualties won’t be limited to just their nsmen,” the glowing woman replied.
After the lengths the demon monk had gone to sealing the Skydomain Lower Realm, it was hard to imagine that he would spare the other cultivators gathered here.
“Elder, did you bring us here in order to protect us?” Liu Kuo asked.
“No, this ce won’t be enough to protect you either,” the glowing woman replied.
“But you mentioned that you brought us in here to give us a chance to survive?” Liu Kuo was confused.
“The four of you have cleared the test, so I’m bestowing a fortuitous encounter upon you that will help you survive the ordeal. However, you’ll have to obtain it with your own strength,” the glowing woman exined.
With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a wave of energy.
Boom!
The entire forest swayed in the face of the energy. Five towers began rising from the ground. These towers resembled the ones in the Trial of the Strongest, just that they were ten timesrger. They looked much more imposing and invible.
