Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Encountering Brutes on the Road

It was nearly noon, the scorching sun hanging high.

Across the vast Endless Wilderness, earth-shattering clashes echoed from time to time. The bloody slaughter had reached its climax. The hunt between man and Desolate Beast, the brutal fights among beasts—all of it was a vivid enactment of the law of the jungle.

BOOM!

In a valley, as a terrifying flash of saber light descended, Ye Wushuang slew another Second-Level Wild Beast.

With twenty-seven extraordinary Qi Vortexes and a fearsome Spirit-Level Combat Skill, the current Ye Wushuang could even slay a Third-Level Wilderness Beast—a creature comparable to a cultivator at the Fifth or Sixth Layer of Qi Vortex. A Second-Level Wild Beast was no challenge at all.

Quickly stowing the Desolate Beast’s corpse, Ye Wushuang left the valley. Along the way, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh right, Fat Cat, what do you know about the Dragon Tomb?"

In the past seven days, the man and the cat had come to an understanding, born from their initial clashes. Ye Wushuang had learned from the Dragon Cat that its suppression within the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron had been a complete accident.

Three years ago, the Chaos Dragon Tomb had bizarrely passed through the Beast Realm. The cat happened to run into it, mistaking it for some rare treasure he could claim for himself. But as soon as he got close, he was inexplicably suppressed by the Chaos Dragon Tomb.

As Ye Wushuang’s voice fell, a lazy voice sounded from within the Chaos Space.

"This damn tomb... Lord Cat heard the Beast World Master mention it before. It seems to be a mysterious object that has existed since the Taichu Era. Rumor has it that it’s not only related to the Taichu Dragon Race, but also hides a world-shaking secret. As for what secret, no one knows."

"However, once the Chaos Dragon Tomb appears in the world, experts from the Nine Heavens Domain will all emerge to fight for this secret. The ensuing battles will tear the heavens and earth asunder, staining the sky and land with blood. Even eternal titans will fall, and some Ancient Sect Teachings passed down for myriad generations will be annihilated!"

The Dragon Cat had only spoken a few sentences, but they left Ye Wushuang deeply shaken. ’The heavens and earth themselves would be annihilated... just how terrifying would that be?’

Ye Wushuang had some understanding of this. This world had nine Celestial Domains, and the Grand Emperor Domain was one of them. For experts from all Nine Great Celestial Domains to fight over it, one could only imagine how precious and mysterious the Chaos Dragon Tomb must be!

Ye Wushuang suppressed his shock and asked, "What happened then? Did anyone manage to obtain the Chaos Dragon Tomb?"

"Of course, they did. Every hundred thousand years, the emergence of the Chaos Dragon Tomb ushers in a Golden Era. At that time, a person with profound Destiny is born to master the Dragon Tomb. Heheh, but... none of its masters seem to have met a good end. They all perished mysteriously, even... ahem, ahem!"

As it spoke, the Dragon Cat had a gloating expression, as if it had touched upon some taboo. It stopped abruptly and quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, this Dragon Tomb is very strange and far too complicated. It has a Ninefold Space, but no one has ever managed to pass the Sixth Layer."

"Strange? Far too complicated?" Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed, his heart heavier than ever. From the Dragon Cat’s words, he could imagine just how extraordinary the Chaos Dragon Tomb was.

And yet, this strange Dragon Tomb had bizarrely fallen into his lap, like a ticking time bomb. Who knew when it would go off and attract the covetous gazes of powerful experts? When that happened, Ye Wushuang would have no way to resist.

Thinking of this, Ye Wushuang’s heart sank to the depths!

However, as if things weren’t bad enough, he heard the Dragon Cat mutter again, "Also, Lord Cat will tell you something else. The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique is a Supreme Technique of the Dragon Race. You’re a human. Different species, different cultivation methods. If you force yourself to practice it, you’ll face limitations in the later stages, you know!"

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression changed. He stopped dead in his tracks. His Divine Sense hurriedly entered the Chaos Space, and he stared at the Dragon Tomb, asking, "Is what you’re saying true?"

"Why would Lord Cat lie to you?" The Dragon Cat was lying on the ground, looking as if it couldn’t be bothered with Ye Wushuang. It said, "It’s not some big secret. Besides, the solution is simple. Just scatter your Cultivation and start over!"

"Scattering and Rebuilding! Are you fucking trying to get me killed?" Ye Wushuang’s face darkened. He kicked the fat cat on the ground, sending it flying. His Divine Sense withdrew from the Chaos Space, leaving only a miserable shriek echoing behind.

Scattering and Rebuilding wasn’t as easy as the Dragon Cat made it sound. It was an incredibly crazy thing to do!

In fact, almost no one would ever choose to do it!

Because if you failed, you would become a complete and utter cripple, doomed for all eternity!

Ye Wushuang might be crazy, but he wasn’t *that* crazy. He couldn’t bear the consequence of being doomed for all eternity, so he immediately discarded the idea.

"Screw you! If you don’t do it, you’ll never get far in the future," the Dragon Cat’s cursing voice echoed from the Chaos Space.

But Ye Wushuang simply ignored it, burying everything deep in his heart. ’World-ending calamities, covetous experts... those are all problems for the future. I haven’t even solved my immediate life-and-death problems, so how can I even think about the future?’

Ignoring the Dragon Cat, Ye Wushuang continued to race through the wilderness. Just as he crested a mountain ridge, the sound of an explosion reached his ears.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

About a hundred meters ahead of him, three men and two women were running toward him, pursued by six young men in red. The cultivation of everyone involved was around the Qi Vortex Third and Fourth Layers!

"You can’t escape!" The six pursuers were incredibly fast and quickly caught up to the group of five. A flash of sword light shot out, and the head of a young man in the lead group went flying, landing right at Ye Wushuang’s feet. Blood splattered onto his trouser leg.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. He looked up and saw that the remaining four had reached his position.

They huddled together, on high alert as if facing a great enemy. They were so focused that they completely ignored Ye Wushuang behind them, their eyes fixed on the six red-clothed youths who were surrounding them.

"Keep running, why don’t you!" The six youths surrounded the four, their gazes quickly landing on the two women. One of them let out a soft sound of surprise, and then a wicked light bloomed in all of their eyes.

"Tsk tsk, not bad. Fair skin, perky ass, so delicate and fresh. Looks like we’re in for a treat today!" the men jeered, rubbing their hands together like common thugs.

Seeing this, how could the two young women not understand what the six men wanted? Their bodies trembled, and their pretty faces instantly turned deathly pale.

"Wh-what do you want?" one of the young women, dressed in yellow, asked, her voice trembling.

"Heheh, little beauty, we big brothers don’t want to do anything... just want to have a little ’chat about life’ with you!"

"You must be tired from all that running. Come over to big brother, I’ll rub your legs for you!"

The six red-clothed youths grinned wickedly, their fervent gazes locked on the two young women as they slowly closed in on the group of four.

"Bastards!"

Hearing the men’s taunts, the two young men immediately stepped forward, glaring furiously at the six!

"Shit, you still want to resist? Get lost!"

The gazes of the six red-clothed youths turned cold. Simultaneously, they threw punches from a distance, sending a surging wave of energy, like a monstrous tide, crashing violently into the two men.

BANG!

PFFT! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The two men’s bodies shook violently. They immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and were sent flying backward.

"Ice Sea!"

"Yunn Dong!"

Seeing this, the expressions on the two young women’s pretty faces changed. They were about to rush forward to help, but the six youths seized the opportunity, pouncing with wicked smiles. "Little beauties, they’re just two good-for-nothings. They can’t keep you safe. Hurry and come into our arms, we’ll give you what you need!"
