God Emperor - Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280: 1280

After the ice mountain melted, the scorched black bird corpse was completely exposed . Who would’ve thought that such flames would come out of a small bird that had died so many years ago?

Crackle, crackle .

The fire burned brighter and brighter . The heat that it emitted actually created a warm feeling in the bone-chilling ice gorge .

The people fighting on the bridge—Zhang Ruochen, Qi Sheng, and the others—all stopped and stared at the cage hovering in the sky . They were all shocked .

“What is this? What happened?”

“How come I feel weak energy waves coming from the bird corpse?”

“No way! It died tens of thousands of years ago . How can it not be completely dead?”

“The creatures that can be imprisoned here are all horrible world-dominating demons . None of them are simple . Any one that escapes can overturn Kunlun’s Field . ”

Not only did Ying Huo have extremely strong Spiritual Power, she could also predict future danger to some extent .

Right now, her expression was a bit grave . “Hurry and leave this place,” she warned . “Otherwise, we will all die here . ”

Qi Sheng and Crown Prince Motian knew that Ying Huo’s gut feelings were accurate, so they didn’t dare to stay here any longer . Glancing at Zhang Ruochen at the top of a stone pillar, they stopped attacking .

The two of them rushed out of the stone bridge with Ying Huo and started to climb the ice wall .

Zhang Ruochen also sensed an extremely dangerous aura, so he didn’t stop them . Instead, he grouped with Qing Mo . Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her quickly out of the gorge .

Below them, the fire surging out of the bird corpse covered the entire cage . The space around the cage was actually a bit distorted .

Caw!

Then, a bird’s sharp cry came out of the flames . All the Saints inside the gorge, including Zhang Ruochen, felt a stab of pain in their heads . It was like getting stabbed with a needle .

Their visions turned black and blood flowed out of their ears . All Saints lost consciousness and plummeted .

As a plant-type creature, Qing Mo wasn’t too affected . She was only dazed temporarily and then quickly reacted .

She grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s wrist backhandedly . The fingers on her other hand transformed into five vines . Hitting the ice wall, the vines produced five holes so they hung in the air .

Ying Huo, Qi Sheng, Crown Prince Motian, Prince White Li, Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, and the others weren’t so lucky . They all fell from the sky and crashed against the stone bridge with loud booms .

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath . Rubbing his temples, he turned and looked down at the cage hovering below him . “Such strong sound waves . Did it really awaken?”

The cage had become a huge fireball . The heat that it emitted was melting the walls of the ice gorge .

Popping sounds came from the palm-sized bird corpse . It broke out of the black shell . Dazzling feathers grew . The scene was as breathtaking as an ugly duckling turning into a swan .

Each of the fiery-red feathers were translucent and glistening as if made out of some type of jade . The Saints on the stone bridge woke up . Seeing this, they all found it incredible .

Did it really come back to life?

Shock flashed past Ying Huo’s eyes . “Is this… the legendary Immortal Bird?”

As the Goddess of the Immortal Pavilion, Ying Huo was very well-learned . She’d once read about the Immortal Bird in an ancient book . It had text and images .

The bird covered in flames in the cage looked very similar to the Immortal Bird .

Thud, thud .

The strange fiery bird crashed against the bars of the cage, wanting to escape from it . The layer of metal on the chains wrapped around the cage broke apart, revealing purple-blue electricity . Dozens of lightning bolts hit the bird .

Then the stone bridge shook violently .

Various ancient dragon runes emerged on the bridge like a celestial book .

The Divine Dragons had indeed left some things behind to imprison the monsters here, Zhang Ruochen thought . This is to prevent mutations that can let them escape .

Zhang Ruochen believed that the fiery bird had come back to life because of mutations .

Under normal conditions, even a Supreme Saint being would’ve died after being frozen for so long . How could it come back to life?

Zhang Ruochen was now far from the stone bridge . He could use the Great Spatial Move at any time to escape, so he stayed behind to investigate . He wanted to know what secret was hidden here .

He looked down while asking, “Where’s Blackie?”

Qing Mo’s brows were tightly knit . Thinking back carefully, she said, “Blackie fell down with us . While falling, Princess and I hit an ice mountain . We were instantly sealed and lost consciousness . I think Blackie should be sealed in ice too . ”

After a pause, Qing Mo’s eyes looked around . “Could Blackie’s physical body be that bird?”

“How is that possible? It’s a cat . ” Zhang Ruochen thought that Qing Mo’s thoughts were too strange and shook his head .

Qing Mo still believed that Blackie was a bird . She debated with Zhang Ruochen with a serious expression . “But Blackie has never made cat sounds . Don’t you think that it might not be a cat?”

“It just doesn’t like to make cat sounds . ”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t sense Blackie’s aura on that mutated fire bird .

There was a mass of cages on either side of the stone bridge . Many ancient monsters and demons were imprisoned there . Zhang Ruochen started to suspect that Blackie’s physical body was in one of them .

He observed all the corpses, but none of them had a figure like Blackie . In fact, there wasn’t a single cat .

Of course, some cages were inside five-colored fog, so he couldn’t see clearly . He couldn’t say that Blackie’s body wasn’t hidden inside one of them .

Qing Mo seemed to think that Zhang Ruochen was right . She nodded and then asked, “Aren’t the Divine Dragons already extinct? Who would seal Blackie’s physical body here? And why would they do that?”

It was a simple question, but Zhang Ruochen couldn’t answer .

According to Blackie, Saint Monk Xumi had suppressed it back then . He’d sealed its physical body in the Yin Yang Sea and turned its soul into the weapon spirit of the Universe Spiritual Map .

But why would Saint Monk Xumi seal Blackie’s body inside the Yin Yang Sea? Zhang Ruochen had never thought about this before .

“Could it be that… Saint Monk Xumi isn’t human and is a Divine Dragon instead?” Zhang Ruochen got a crazy idea .

It wasn’t strange for a dragon to enter the Buddhist Way . Eight hundred years ago, the Buddha’s ride, the “golden dragon,” was a Buddhist Saint too .

Kaboom .

The fiery bird inside the cage produced stronger and stronger force . The lightning pouring out of the stone bridge couldn’t repress it anymore .

The stone bridge shook even more violently . At the same time, the five-colored fog around the bridge scattered, showing the entire bridge .

What Zhang Ruochen and the others had seen before was only a small portion of the bridge . It was hundreds of miles long and cut across the air . There were many dazzling dragon runes on the entire surface .

There was actually a five-colored ice mountain in the center of the bridge . It was thousands of meters tall and took up one-third of the bridge .

A young man stood at the bottom of the mountain . He had long blonde hair and a pair of dragon horns . His features were defined and his figure was tall and thin . He stood on the bridge with his hands behind his back . He stared into empty space, emitting an authoritative aura .

If he wasn’t standing inside an ice mountain, everyone would probably think he was still alive .

“He…who is he? Why is he sealed on the bridge? Judging from his standing posture, he doesn’t look like a prisoner or someone who was sealed during battle . It’s so strange . ”

“Did he seal himself?”

…

Zhang Ruochen was also staring at the young man in the ice mountain . Even though he was frozen, his aura was still mighty . He was like a godly emperor gazing at the universe .

If he were still alive, he would definitely be a terrifying existence .

“He can’t be a Divine Dragon, right?” Qing Mo asked .

“If he is a Divine Dragon, then he would definitely be the last dragon of their race . ”

“Why?” Qing Mo asked .

“Gut feeling . ” Eyes dark, Zhang Ruochen said, “I have a feeling that something terrifying will happen next . Leave this place immediately . ”

He took Qing Mo and used the Great Spatial Move, rushing out of the ice gorge and reaching the surface of the ice land .

Five-colored light burst out of the ice gorge . They transformed into a hundred-mile-wide beam of light . It shot into the sky, coloring the boundless sky above the Yin Yang Sea .

Qing Mo panicked . “What about Blackie? It might be in the ice gorge still . ”

“Whether it can escape or not depends on its own abilities . With out current cultivation, rushing into the ice gorge again would just be like going to die . ”

Just then, Zhang Ruochen had clearly sensed that Blackie’s connection with the Universe Spiritual Map had disappeared!

There were two possibilities . One, Blackie’s saint soul was damaged and destroyed . Two, Blackie had found its sealed physical body and used its own power to cut the connection .

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and the others rushed out of the ice gorge and fled to the ice land . They felt like they’d escaped from death .

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon stared at Zhang Ruochen . Murderous intent flared from his body again .

The other Saints started circulating their Holy Qi too . They separated and walked toward Zhang Ruochen from different directions .

The Ancient Dragon Mountain, Nine Li Palace, and Immortal Vampires had all suffered great losses . They’d practically been wiped out and the reason was Zhang Ruochen .

How could they explain if they didn’t kill him?

“Still want to fight?”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid . He released Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan from the Mercury Gourd . He also summoned the Holy Carnivorous Flower to face the enemies .

“We’re all familiar . The imperial court will come have fun too . ” Wan Huayu’s laughter sounded .

A moment later, the Saints of the imperial court walked out of the wind and snow, forming the third party .
