Chapter 710: Chapter 696: Divine Beast Dharma Phase, Each with Their Own Thoughts! (Seeking Subscriptions!)_1

At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to clear up. The aura pulsing from the ancient divine spirits instantly made the land within a hundred miles tremble. Birds and beasts wailed, and warriors fell to the ground.

This was the suppression originating from primordial spiritual beings. But it was merely an illusory image of a divine dragon. For warriors below the Layered Tower Realm or average warriors in the Layered Tower Realm, perhaps it posed an effect. However, for a warrior of Xiao Chen’s caliber, it could pose no threat!

The divine dragon illusion before him might not emanate an immense power, but the ancient aura it exuded from the distant past left countless warriors awestruck!

This was an illusion of a divine spirit from the distant, desolate era. When chaos first receded, animals morphed into various divine beasts in the desolate land. The Dragon and the Phoenix became the most powerful species of the desolate era, respectively controlling the heavens and the earth for an era.

The living beings birthed in this era all possessed unfathomable divine powers; they were known as spiritual beings!

"Not good!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen stepped into the void. A torrential sound echoed from inside his body, and an explosive aura gushed from him, separating the boundless dragon’s might outside the Ancient Mountain Heavenly Ladder.

Despite his swift response, a portion of young warriors lost their mental stability and tumbled from the Heavenly Ladder.

"What exactly is happening? Why is the ancient divine dragon revealing itself in the void?"

Countless warriors were inwardly clamoring. Fortunately, the divine might wasn’t aimed at them. However, the pressure emanating from the spiritual beings still forced the warriors in the Blood Refining Realm to stay grounded helplessly.

The young warriors on the Ancient Mountain Heavenly Ladder were protected by Xiao Chen, but the warriors underneath the Ancient Mountain were not as lucky. Warriors in the Blood Refining Realm were on the verge of fainting in the blink of an eye.

However, before Xiao Chen could conceal his aura, an ancient and noble aura rolled between the heavens and earth. From the depths of the bloodline, a tremor was released.

Above the vault of Heaven ascended a green Divine Sun. The green divine brilliance sprinkled between heaven and earth. Accompanied by a clear phoenix sound, a divine bird materialized in the void. The green divine brilliance and gold radiated by the dragon shared the sky and occupied half of the sky vault each.

In the illusion, the divine bird spread its wings, overshadowing the sun. The massive green eyes gazed at the giant dragon, unfazed by its size.

"Nine Heavens Kunpeng!"

Another divine spirit from the desolate era emerged. Two ancient auras intertwined in the sky, casting green and gold divine light down the Sky Vault. They stared at the sky from above.

"What on earth is going on!"

Under the dual divine presence of two forces from the ancient desolate era, the only people who could remain unfazed were those with deep strength in the Layered Tower Realm. Even ordinary warriors of the Layered Tower Realm buckled under the pressure and collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, the sounds of dragons and phoenix echoed across heaven and earth. The illusions of the divine beasts from the desolate era dissipated into the surroundings.

All this occurred in a flash. It came quickly and left even quicker. However, for everyone, it was extremely long. The illusion of the divine beasts faded between heaven and earth, but their awe-inspiring presence was etched into everyone’s soul!

Merely during the brief moment the divine miracle manifested, Xiao Chen above the Sky Vault clearly discovered the cause of these appearances. Astonishingly, it resulted from two young warriors on the Heavenly Ladder who stirred up the vestiges of the divinity of the divine beasts in heaven and earth, manifesting in the entire Sky Vault.

These two young warriors were Long Tian and Kun Peng. Unbelievably, there were traces of divine beast bloodlines in their bodies!

Although it was extremely diluted, containing only an insignificant trace, and the two of them didn’t even know how to utilize it, this mere trace was enough to match the strength of their peers in the entire Eastern Wasteland.

Xiao Chen was overjoyed at this moment and couldn’t help but shout out loud. Indeed, attending the War God Temple assessment had turned out to be the right decision. A warrior with a divine beast bloodline had appeared. Recruiting such a gifted warrior would undoubtedly bring unimaginable advantages in the future.

As for why the conflict between the two could draw remnants of divinity of the divine beasts from the world and manifest a miracle again, this has to be traced back to the formation of the Desolate Land. Xiao Chen had also learned about such legends from an ancient book.

As per the legends, when the Desolate Land was first formed, countless divine beasts were birthed from the depths of chaos. Once born, they had the power to destroy heaven and earth.

At that time, the whole Desolate Land was filled with the strongest beings who were the Dragon Tribe and the Phoenix Tribe. The Dragon Tribe lived in the North Sea, controlling rivers, seas, and lakes, whereas the Phoenix Tribe resided in the Southern Volcanos, reigning over the land and the Sky Vault. However, the Dragon Tribe was slightly more powerful than the Phoenix Tribe.

Later, the Phoenix Emperor from the Phoenix Clan gave birth to two descendants, one being the divine beast of the colorful peacock divine bird, the ancestor of the peacocks.

The other was the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, it was said that when the Kunpeng was born, all the birds in the world came to worship this naturally-born emperor. The Kunpeng’s cry shook the nine heavens, chilling the Northern Sea Dragon Tribe. Soon, the adult Kunpeng roamed the seas and heavens, pursuing the Dragon Tribe and feeding on them. It was because of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng’s dragon-hunting practice that it became the Phoenix Clan’s supreme master in suppressing the Dragon Tribe.

The Kunpeng hunted the Dragon Tribe while the Dragon Tribe hunted the descendants of the Kunpeng for revenge. So, these two parties were destined to fight to the death. This feud had been established since the descent of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng from ancient times.

Today, two young men, each with the bloodline of a divine dragon and a Nine Heavens Kunpeng, the enduring ancient feud, coincidentally reunited, and they both continued their mutual struggle.

Fortunately, the bloodlines they possess are extremely diluted, and their power is only comparable to that of the Blood Refining Realm. Even though they evoke phenomena in the heavens and earth, it appears shocking, they cannot shake a powerful man like Xiao Chen. Perhaps in the future, when the two advance to the Layered Tower Realm, and completely master the divine beast bloodline within their bodies, causing the illusion of the divine dragon and Kunpeng to appear again, even the Venerables would have to bow before them.

On the Heavenly Ladder of the Ancient Mountain, there is the pressure of more than ten times the gravity. To vie for the position of first to reach the summit of the Ancient Mountain, two young men had to use all their strength. The originally hidden traces of the divine beast’s bloodline deep within their veins, was surprisingly stimulated, manifesting such phenomena in the sky.

However, the span of time since ancient times is far too long, so long that it is beyond the count of years and months. Coupled with the two men’s weak strength, the manifested illusions of the divine beasts could not display even a billionth of the real divine beasts’ power.

"Why do these two divine beasts appear to be at odds, I wonder why such an anomaly would appear in the world!"

As Xiao Chen was stupefied, a warrior next to him voiced a question, the shock in his eyes could not disappear for a long time.

When the miraculous signs of the divine beasts dissipated, the people finally regained their ability to move, and heavy breathing sounds echoed from the top of the ancient mountain.

Compared to ordinary warriors who cannot distinguish between illusion and reality, there were several Venerables at the top of the Ancient Mountain, including Elder Shi, the former highly respected Seven Heavens Warrior of the Towering Realm. Despite his severe injuries, it remained unknown whether he had recovered his strength or not.

Although Xiao Chen did not sense the fluctuation of combat energy in Elder Shi’s body, he could confirm that Elder Shi was certainly not as powerless as he appeared on the surface – an old man depleted of life energy.

"It looks like the Clan Leader Xiao’s establishment of the War God Temple truly brings good luck!"

The Vajra Venerable One’s eyes glittered with strangeness, and he finally whispered, it was clear that he had discovered something in the fleeting divine beast anomaly. His eyes were constantly flashing, which obviously meant he had some ulterior motives.

The illusions of the Divine Dragon and the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, suddenly appeared in the sky vault. If there was no reason, would he believe that they just appeared out of nowhere? Moreover, he had also discovered something.

The connection is with the two young warriors who participated in the assessment. When the divine beast illusion appeared, their bodies also emitted an ancient aura, which was fleeting but he captured it.

Although it cannot be determined what caused it, only looking at the talents displayed by the two now, anyone would definitely aim to recruit them into their own tribe. They would undoubtedly become the mighty figures who would intimidate others in the future, suppressing the tribes, let alone their inexplicable connection with the divine beast illusion.

Not only him, even the chief of the War Platform Battle Clan, also had the same strange light in his eyes - he was coming up with a devious plan.

At this moment, at the fifth level below the summit of the Ancient Mountain, the two individuals responsible for the divine phenomena were still confronting each other. They finally understood why they felt such animosity the moment they met.

"What an impressive Kun Peng, let’s see if you are really capable!"

At this moment, Long Tian’s body was filled with golden divine glow, his black hair burned with blazing golden flames, he wanted to break out of the gravity shackles on him.

"Hmph, let’s see then!"

The two no longer spoke, the intent to fight in their eyes clear. They started to step up the staircase, adding fifteen times the gravity to their bodies for every step. Moreover, for the last ten steps, the gravity would increase by one with each step. Even though Xiao Chen took timely action to block the divine might from outside, most of the warriors continued to stay on the Heavenly Ladder. For the young warriors who had crossed hundreds of steps, even skipped some, it was a challenge.

Behind them, a young swordsman was struggling. As a swordsman, he sincerely adhered to the path of swordsmanship. In the illusion space, he even had the courage to continuously push himself into desperate situations. His determination and character were evident.

Now facing the endless gravity, the youth was still struggling, even taking each step seemed very difficult, as if something was pulling at his legs, but he couldn’t change his determination to climb to the peak. At this moment, he was still nine steps away from the summit of the ancient mountain.

At this moment, what tested the warriors was not only the endless gravity, but also their will. The boundless pressure seemed to crush their bodies completely. Once their will can no longer resist the gravity pressure, the moment the breath in their hearts released, they would immediately be crushed by the gravity and roll down from the Heavenly Ladder.
