Chapter 1342 - Chapter 1342 Chapter 1342 Life in the Moonlight

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: Life in the Moonlight! Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: Life in the Moonlight! The Treasure Hunters nodded in agreement upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words.

It seemed that this fourth world was absolutely safe during the day.

But come nightfall, that was a different story altogether.

“Good! Huang Xiaolong, let’s wait for night to fall!” The Sword Immortal Emperor’s face showed a terrifying evil Qi.

This time, he had lost several Profound Immortals, and they had died without rhyme or reason. This made him feel humiliated and unwilling to accept it.

Immediately, everyone began to wait in utter silence.

Waiting for dusk to set in.

Huang Xiaolong, on the other hand, appeared relatively relaxed.

As time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, as if water was about to drip from it.

Finally!

The sun slowly set in the west.

The whole world was shrouded in a dim and eerie twilight.

The stone sculptures in the grasslands looked like graves, extremely chilling!

“Ladies and gentlemen, be spirited! Release your divine senses!” The Sword Immortal Emperor said tensely, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The Treasure Hunters dared not slack off; each one of them was very stern.

Even Huang Xiaolong had a sharp gaze, murmuring, “Hehehe… I really want to see what kind of peculiar natives this fourth world has…”

Possession?

Huang Xiaolong was not afraid.

His divine sense and soul power were incredibly strong now. Having refined the hazy light emitted from the magical treasure trees, Huang Xiaolong had gained a lot.

Purely in terms of soul strength, Huang Xiaolong was far ahead of all the Treasure Hunters.

He believed that the beings of this world would hardly be able to possess him.

A waning moon slowly moved out of the dark clouds.

Moonlight spread everywhere.

The whole world was bathed in moonlight.

“Hm?” Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

His divine sense swept back and forth through the moonlight.

At the same time, the other Treasure Hunters seemed to have also noticed something amiss!

“This… this moonlight is not right!” The Third Crown Prince of the Dragon King exclaimed in surprise. “No wonder! No wonder we couldn’t find anything during the day! But once night falls, trouble arises! It turns out the problem is with the moonlight of this world!”

“Yes, within this eerie moonlight, there lies a special form of energy!” The Sword Immortal Emperor affirmed. “Within this energy form, there even seem to be traces of life!”

Traces of life!

Finally!

The Treasure Hunters had unraveled this world’s secret or, one could say, the rules of this world!

In fact, this world was not devoid of vitality or life. Rather–its life forms were hidden within the moonlight!

Even the gathered Immortal Emperors, Profound Immortals, and Demon Kings, who had traversed the universe and seen much, had never seen or heard of such beings!

“It’s utterly bizarre! It’s utterly unpredictable,” exclaimed the Demon King Kui in shock. “It’s even more peculiar than the ways of our Demon Race!”

“The life signs moving within the moonlight are difficult to pinpoint, even more difficult to strike and destroy,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly said. “It’s hard for us to launch an attack on this moonlight–”

Wuuu~~ wuuu~~~

With a gust of wind, a demonic low-pitched sound arose from the grassland. It was like the eerie life within the moonlight was mocking them outright.

Just then!

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~~

Some moonlight coalesced into blood-red beams, shooting down.

Moonlight shone on part of the stone sculptures!

“Be alert!” Huang Xiaolong bellowed. “An entity within the moonlight seems to have descended! It’s those stone sculptures!”

No sooner had the words fallen.

Several stone sculptures, with eyes previously closed, directly snapped open!

Their pupils were red as fresh blood!

Those rigid facial expressions also suddenly came alive, turning fierce, eerie, and strange.

“Heh heh~~heh heh~heh heh~~”

A ghastly sinister smile emanated from their mouths.

“Die! Abominations!”

The Sword Immortal Emperor had been prepared, his divine sense had locked onto the few stone sculptures that had opened their eyes!

In the following moment, the Sword Immortal Emperor’s entire body erupted with everlasting immortal light, and with a wave of his hand, bright, pillar-like sword beams furiously slashed out.

Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~~

The several eye-opening stone sculptures were directly blasted into powder!

However–

Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~~~

Blood-red light, from the eyes of the stone sculptures, flashed by in a blink!

This blood-red light fell onto the group of treasure hunters and then quickly vanished.

“Somebody has been possessed.” Huang Xiaolong stated icily.

Simultaneously–

Rumble rumble~~rumble rumble~~rumble rumble~~~

The ground where the destroyed stone sculptures stood trembled, and soon, new stone sculptures rose from beneath the soil, standing in place, replacing those destroyed by the Sword Immortal Emperor.

However, the new stone sculptures still kept their eyes closed.

At this time, the lifeform within the moonlight no longer possessed anyone, but merely drifted through the night air like it was omnipresent.

“Heh heh~~heh heh~~~” An evil male voice, which seemed to seep from the moon itself, enveloped the entire world, deeply malevolent and wicked. “You foolish treasure hunters~~heh heh~~Just now, a few of my subjects have successfully taken possession~~heh heh~~Now, try to find out which of my subjects have taken over~~heh heh~~It’s going to be interesting~~~”

“Who are you?” Huang Xiaolong was unable to really pinpoint the source of this evil sound but still asked.

“You foolish treasure hunters, you don’t deserve to know my name~~But well, out of pity, I shall tell you–it does no harm–Listen well! I am the Moon Worship King! The great Moon Worship King!”

“Moon Worship King?” Huang Xiaolong involuntarily looked towards the crescent moon in the sky.

“Heh heh~~Since ancient times, my people have worshipped the moon deity. Our Moon Worship has a history of tens of thousands of years~~The moon deity has bestowed great power upon my race~~You ants-like treasure hunters will all be buried in our world~~Gah gah~~~~”

After a burst of sinister laughter, the evil voice, that of the Moon Worship King, abruptly fell silent.

At the same time, the treasure hunters noticed that the lifeform moving within the moonlight had completely disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, the moonlight cast upon everyone’s face revealed a flickering and uncertain luster.

Instinctively, the treasure hunters all put distance between each other.

Suspicion filled their eyes.

One thing was now certain–among the many treasure hunters, some of them had died. More precisely, they had been forcibly possessed by the lifeform of this world!

“Stand still!” The Sword Immortal Emperor’s complexion looked worse than a dead man’s, “Now, there is a traitor among us! Nobody is allowed to make hasty moves! We must find the traitor!”

“Also, everyone must be on guard to avoid stealth attacks from the traitor!” The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor also spoke with a trembling voice.

Now, no one could be trusted!

“I’m not the traitor! I haven’t been possessed!” All the Profound Immortals exclaimed simultaneously, with looks of innocence on their faces.

Both Demon Kings, as well as dozens of Demon Saints, also cried out in unison. “We are also problem-free! The possessed are not among us!”

“Now, this is interesting,” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile wryly.
