Chapter 773: Chapter 607 Long Time No See
Human Realm.
Since Long Yi left, his legion disbanded, and Mosquito, the cook, and Wesley, the three brothers, returned to the Fourth Legion. Of course, as the times were peaceful, it didn’t matter which legion one belonged to.
Cook and Zhu Na had settled down and got married, with Zhu Na quickly getting pregnant and going on maternity leave. Cook was bustling about every day, preparing himself for his role as a father.
Mosquito, seeing his brother becoming a father, was also putting in effort. But whether it was due to compatibility issues, there were still no signs of pregnancy from the two Dandi sisters who accompanied Mosquito.
However, Wesley and the Divine Envoy’s sister were getting hot and heavy, and the Divine Envoy behaved more and more like a human.
Despite his busyness, Wesley, who had become a small leader in the army, would still occasionally chat with Cook and Mosquito.
Besides reminiscing about the good times when Long Yi was around, they often talked about Isrile and her followers.
Recently, Isrile and her three sidekicks had been occupied. Ruosha and the Fine Gold Dragon Suolin were likewise preoccupied. Whenever they were seen nearby, they all appeared weary. Since Long Yi left, the Plane Portal at the Gentle Wind Plain had been sealed by the Crystal Demon. The Darkness clan, which played a crucial role in the victory over the Dragon Clan, disappeared without a trace. The world seemed once again to be under human control.
But, it felt as if something was missing.
One day, Wesley and Cook saw Isrile, Ruosha, and Suolin all walk in as they were chatting lazily.
"Huh? It’s a rare sight to see all three of you together!" Wesley rushed to bring chairs over.
"No need to fuss. We’re here to bid farewell," Isrile remarked.
"Farewell? Where are you going?" Cook asked in surprise, looking noticeably rounder from when they last met.
"We’ve been busy repairing a damaged inter-plane teleportation gate inside the Giant’s relics. We’ve finally repaired it yesterday. After resting for a night, we’ve decided to leave for the upper plane to find Brother Long," Ruosha explained.
"That’s intense! I... I want to go too!" Wesley exclaimed excitedly.
"Firstly, the teleportation gate’s capacity is limited."
"Secondly, you haven’t reached the pinnacle of ten Dragon Marks, so you’ll die inside the portal."
"Thirdly, as the teleportation gate is damaged, we can’t predict where we’ll end up. We might not even land in the same place, or even the same time."
"Considering all this, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to join us," Suolin calmly stated.
"Damn, that’s pretty harsh," I lamented. Even though Wesley’s power would have been considered at the pinnacle among humans a few years ago, to these Dragon Hunting Spider, Tiger Whale warriors, and the Fine Gold Dragon, he was totally outmatched!
"Don’t worry! Maybe the next news you hear of me will be about how I and my man, Long Yi, have conquered the multiverse. Ahahaha!" Ruosha laughed, hands akimbo.
Not just Wesley, Cook and Mosquito also wanted to go. However, rationality overcame impulse -- they were not strong enough yet!
Underground, within a cave.
The Saintess of Darkness was leading the Dark Clan to feverishly calibrate a towering metallic arc – the Plane Gate. The once advanced technological giants traveled between planes as if strolling through a garden. However, to successfully operate this now-damaged gate required intensive repair work.
Luckily, the people of the Dark Clan had an innate grasp of the Giant’s technology.
At this moment, Isrile was standing at the head, holding onto her three shrunken, pact-bound followers.
"Initiate launch!"
At the Saintess of Darkness’s command, the three members of the Dark Clan turned into energy cores inserted into the three sockets on the metallic gate.
This gate required three cores to activate, a testament to the huge energy consumption.
Boom!
The void twisted, and space-time tore apart. A multi-colored door boomed open!
"So sisters, if we end up in different worlds, let’s see who conquers their world first," Isrile suggested, leaping into the radiance.
"Don’t worry! The victor will definitely be me," Ruosha declared, jumping in without any hesitation.
"You two overestimate yourselves." Suolin smirked, before following suit and jumping in.
Just then, the three cores unexpectedly started vibrating violently, before being jettisoned from the gate! The cores that tumbled onto the ground hardly retained any energy! The energy expenditure of the teleportation this time was alarmingly huge!
Without energy, the cores turned back into the exhausted Dark Clan members, who were then helped away.
Afterwards, the Saintess of Darkness waved her hand, declaring loudly,
"Start the inspection! We’re up next! We’re going with Master Long Yi to conquer the multiverse!"
"Yes!"
The loud voice echoed in the massive underground cavern.
According to the last information left by Little Zi, she had slipped underground from a mountain stream. Worried about getting lost in the rocks, she didn’t go directly through the rock layer. Instead, she utilized her ability to control the rocks and left a straight small hole behind her all the way.
Although the entrance was blocked due to many years, the bottom still maintained its flatness.
However, despite this, Long Yi wasn’t going there.
After all, compared to Ai Lin’s petite body, Long Yi’s size was just too big.
Fortunately, Long Yi’s control over rocks had become as instinctive as ever.
Ever since he received the power of the six Sacred Rocks, Long Yi could easily cast many rock magics that seemed miraculous before. Controlling the rocks to deform and allow him to pass through was just the simplest of them all.
Descending all the way, the underground gradually warmed up. But soon, Long Yi found that it was getting colder and colder below! The most obvious proof was that the steam he breathed out was frosting on his hair!
Why is it so cold?
Something isn’t right.
Finally, at the end of the passage, Long Yi directly floated in mid-air, cast a spell, spread the wings of the wind, and let himself float in mid-air. Six female demon sisters flew out at once.
"Master Little Zi is over here! We can feel the spiritual mark she left behind!"
"Let’s go!"
Long Yi flew straight ahead. Despite being underground, it seemed as though he was above ground. He saw mountains, completely withered trees, traces of water flow, but not a trace of water vapor.
After flying for a bit, Long Yi started seeing some buildings and even some farmlands.
This is strange. It’s as if there’s another surface layer wrapped around the surface of the ground.
Soon, on a tall mountain in the distance, Long Yi spotted a temple. However, it was in ruins. In the center of the destroyed temple, he saw a huge Crystal Stone. Inside the Crystal Stone, Long Yi actually saw a small figure curled up inside!
"Little Zi!"
Long Yi roared and charged towards the temple.
The startled Crystal Stone immediately emitted a humming resonance. The light enveloped the area, strange waves started distorting the air around. Then, from the ground, one after another, shriveled corpses clad in wide armor slowly crawled out and fast revived into strong warriors under the light.
Those warriors emitted a reddish glow from their whole body. They directly soared into the air and flew towards Long Yi.
"Get out of my way!"
Long Yi roared, his Crystal Stone armor lit with flames, and he collided with those blood-colored warriors.
"Power! This is the power that buried us!"
The warriors roared loudly and attacked madly. But Long Yi shattered all the warriors that charged at him! These warriors were not as powerful as Long Yi, but there were just too many of them! They constantly drilled out of the ground non-stop!
Upon closer inspection, Long Yi found that the shattered warriors reformed themselves as soon as they hit the ground! Long Yi tried to land, hoping of using the power of the rock to call a big move. But the moment the ripples swept over, they prevented Long Yi’s landing.
"Are you scared?"
Long Yi sneered, his body burst into terrifying mana, and he fell straight to the ground!
"Die..."
Long Yi was about to cast a spell. A terrifying thing happened promptly. The power within him began to be crazy absorbed by the ground beneath his feet! Whether it’s the giant’s power, the Dragon Power, or the recently acquired power of the rock. All the powers, except Divine Power, were uncontrollably absorbed by the ground! The warriors around him instantly became even more powerful!
"Damn it!"
Long Yi shouted and jumped directly with brute force. The absorption finally stopped.
At this time, a group of warriors entangled the female demons. They made tug-of-war gestures against the female demons, simultaneously, opened their big mouths, which were completely out of proportion with their heads. The female demons floating in mid-air, with almost no resistance, started flying towards the warriors in a daze!
Long Yi roared, took out a Giant Sword from his private space, and flung it over. The Giant Sword swept a group of warriors away, but even more, blood-warriors charged up!
At that moment, the enormous Crystal Stone became even more splendid and immediately absorbed all six female demons into the stone’s interior.
The blood-colored warriors howled and tried to rush towards the Crystal Stone, but they turned into rubble before they could even get close!
At this time, Little Zi had also woken up, and the six female demon avatars had returned to her body. She stared blankly at everything that had just happened, then spoke, "No wonder the moment I arrived here, you locked me in. You were trying to protect me, weren’t you?"
Bang!
Long Yi heavily landed next to the Crystal Stone, and gave it a light tap: "Yo, sister, long time no see!"
Little Zi laughed: "Indeed, it’s been a while, my Master." (Do you want to know more exciting news on "Ace Dragon Rider"?
