Chapter 1088: The Usefulness of Sky-Devouring Snake
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
"Don't attack! It's me, Sky-Devouring Snake." The voice of the Sky-Devouring Snake echoed from afar.
Qingfeng Li was confused to hear this familiar voice, as he thought it was a sea monster. How did the Sky-Devouring Snake swim to the bottom of the ocean?
Soon, the Sky-Devouring Snake reached Qingfeng Li. "Are you okay?" it asked him.
"I'm fine," Qingfeng Li shook his head, "We've got to get out of here."
"What's the rush, we're at the bottom of the ocean."
"Little snake, I've stolen one of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace's treasures. We need to get out of here."
"Treasure? Okay, let's go quickly! Hurry the f*ck up!" the Sky-Devouring Snake said upon hearing this.
As an ancient spiritual beast, the Sky-Devouring Snake knew that a Dragon Palace existed at the bottom of the ocean.
The palace was destroyed during the Great Ancient Battle, but the Dragon King didn't die; he was just badly injured.
Thousands of years had passed since then, and the Dragon King must have built himself a new palace by now.
The Sky-Devouring Snake feared the Dragon King, since a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. If the Dragon King were to come out and pursue them, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Qingfeng Li and the Sky-Devouring Snake quickly arrived at the abyss.
Devilish, horrifying energy surrounded the abyss, as black monsters flew in and out.
These black demonic beasts were all tainted with devilish energy, as they were beasts from the devil realm.
The Sky-Devouring Snake opened its mouth to create a giant whirlpool, sucking in all the monsters to create energy for itself.
Qingfeng Li stared in awe; this snake was incredible, devouring black monsters like it was just another Friday night, even when they were filled with devilish energy.
After devouring the monsters, the snake led Qingfeng Li onwards. About 50 meters across the abyss, it suddenly stopped in its tracks, a grave expression on its face.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Qingfeng Li asked, "Why'd you stop?"
The Sky-Devouring Snake shook its head and said, "I can sense a giant devilish monster up ahead; it's waiting for us with its mouth open."
Hearing what the snake said, Qingfeng Li looked forward and there, in the abyss, was a devilish monster.
The monster's body was at the bottom of the abyss; they couldn't see its head, but its mouth was 50 meters long, taking up half of the abyss.
Its body and mouth were black, just like the color of the abyss. Normal people wouldn't have noticed it was even there.
It was a good thing that the Sky-Devouring Snake reminded him; if Qingfeng Li continued walking, he would drop right into the monster's mouth.
"Little snake, how are we going to get pass it?" a bit concerned, Qingfeng Li asked the snake.
He knew nothing whatsoever about the underwater abyss.
He also didn't know anything about the monster, only the Sky-Devouring Snake knew.
"These devilish monsters are bottom feeders of the Dark Abyss. They eat all sorts of creatures, so once we feed them some sea monsters, they'll go back into the abyss," the Sky-Devouring Snake explained.
Qingfeng Li nodded; they'll be fine as long as there was a solution.
Qingfeng Li retreated from the abyss. He quickly captured some sea monsters and brought them back before throwing into the ground-hugging demon's mouth.
The snake was right; once the demon ate all of the sea monsters, it closed its giant mouth and retreated back into the abyss.
Qingfeng Li looked at the Sky-Devouring Snake gratefully. He never thought the snake could be so helpful.
Qingfeng Li and the snake passed through the abyss and continued on to the surface of the ocean.
Travelling at a fast paste, they soon reached the surface.
Thankfully, the passenger ship was still there waiting for them.
Flower Fairy smiled in relief as she saw Qingfeng Li emerge from the waters.
The others were all delighted to see the pair come return safety as well.
Somehow, Qingfeng Li had become the person who held their group together, and they were all uncomfortable without him.
"Qingfeng Li, are you alright?" a bit concerned, Flower Fairy walked over to Qingfeng Li and asked.
Qingfeng Li played an important part in Flower Fairy's life. She often thought of him, and worried that something would happen to him at the bottom of the ocean.
Smiling, Qingfeng Li answered, "I'm fine, but we really need to get out of here."
Everyone agreed that this was a dangerous place. Quickly, the captain started the ship, and they were gone.
...
The Dragon Palace -
The Dragon King's wife was having a birthday party, and everyone who attended was either powerful, had high status, or were regional overlords.
They were all powerful masters; some were half-step Spirit King Realm masters, others were already in the Spirit King Realm.
Injured by immortals of foreign planets during the Great Ancient War, the Dragon King was still recovering in seclusion, so he did not attend his wife's birthday party.
The gorgeous Dragon Queen looked as if she were only 30 years old – her skin was as white as snow, and her lips was as red as blood. Elegant and poised, she had on a dragon robe and dragon hair pin.
"My lady, I heard that many historical relics and treasures have been excavated, does that mean that we are close to returning to our former glory?" a giant sea lion asked.
The sea lion's fur was gold that shimmered in the sea, and its ears were like bronze bells. As a powerful Spirit King realm monster, it exuded horrifying energy.
The Dragon Queen laughed, "Did you forget that a war erupts once every five thousand years? The Millennium War is about to begin."
The Millennium War?
These three simple words struck fear in everyone's hearts.
A war erupts on Earth once every five thousand years. Last time, the saints of foreign planets joined forces in attacking Earth, shattering our Celestial Palace and killing countless saints and immortals.
Many ancient saints and immortals died in that war five thousand years ago, allowing humans to procreate and evolve from primitive and slavery societies…all the way to today's technological civilization.
The Huaxia civilization was known to have begun five thousand years ago, but in truth, it was actually a new civilization that began after the death of the previous era.
"Zixi, go find your sister. She went back to her chambers to get the presents, but hasn't returned yet." The Dragon Queen said with a frown.
"Yes mother." The Second Princess nodded as she stood up from her seat.
Her sister had left for quite a while, so the second Princess was also wondering why she hadn't returned?
After entering her chambers, the Second Princess looked everywhere for her sister, finally finding her under her bed.
