Chapter 294: Real Dragon
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Central Continent's group had seven people.
Zhan Wuya and Ji Wuxin were outstanding disciples of War God Temple and possessed unfathomable strength. This was all that was needed to be said about them.
As for Luo Tian, although he had been meticulously trying to hide his existence, no one had truly ignored him, because he represented the royalty of the Central Continent.
Luo Tian was related to the royal power of the Central Continent. With this sort of background, even if he just stood at the corner at the dragon's tail and been silent all the time, no one would miss his existence.
What concerned Xie Qianxue, she hadn't been cultivating for a long time and didn't have formidable strength, but she was in possession of a three sun heavenly world. In other words, she was a high mountain herself, but by relying on the world power of a three sun heavenly world, she could take the position of an invincible peak.
Previously, when all of them had been under the formidable pressure, she had surpassed Man Tian and caught Ye Qing. This performance clearly proved the existence of a heavenly world which turned her into a "transcendent" among the descenders.
However, Central Continent had the same problem as the Higher Dimensional Continent. Its people were separated into two or even three factions. Zhan Wuya, Ji Wuxin, and Luo Tian formed one faction. Li Yunmu with his two followers formed another, while Xie Qianxue alone formed the third faction.
This was the inherent nature of humans.
The six transcending powers and the six continents, not only the descenders but even the quasi deities above them, hadn't united until the threat of Heavenly Transformation begun to loom in front of them.
This made it foreordained that this group of people could never be unified as well.
The most important thing was that this group of descenders were not only divided by the conflicts between their native continents, but no one among the thirty-one of them possessed sufficient strength to suppress others and become the leader.
Thus from the beginning, Li Yunmu was fully aware that the cooperation between the descenders was in a worse state than a handful of loose sand. However, as long as there weren't any internal struggles, he would be more than fine.
Since the matter had reached this state, Li Yunmu didn't say anything and kept coldly observing, because the conflict regarding who gets to decide Ye Qing's fate had finally happened.
Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared long ago and hadn't had much hope that this group of so called comrades would be able to form a successful alliance.
"As I see, night has already fallen. None of us are familiar with our surroundings, so I suggest that we should find a place to rest first and tomorrow we can continue with questioning Ye Qing. As for the decision regarding his fate, since Divine Religion's plan had been foiled by Brother Li while Ye Qing had been caught by Xie Qianxue, then tomorrow, the final decision should be made by them."
The seagod's people could be considered as the least argumentative. Hai Yue suggested for the parties involved to take care of it, taking the middle ground between two extremes.
When everyone thought about it, they agreed that this was the best option they had and could only drop the subject.
Furthermore, Hai Yue's suggestion was within the limits of what everyone could accept. They could understand well that she indirectly implied that the final decision over Ye Qing's fate should be taken by Li Yunmu and Xie Qianxue and not the Central Continent's faction as Zhan Wuya had wanted.
Everyone could see that Li Yunmu and the two disciples of War God Temple didn't appear to be on friendly terms, and Xie Qianxue also didn't seem to have any intentions of getting close to Zhan Wuya.
The suggestion had surprised the group for a abit, but then they all accepted it.
Something that didn't skip anyone's mind was that by leaving the decision in the hands of Li Yunmu and Xie Qianxue, they could probably drive a wedge between the Central Continent's formidable faction, since it didn't seem to be completely united.
This was good, since it had seven people and none of them were weak, which caused anxiousness to other factions.
With both sides reaching an agreement, everyone began to set their camps to rest and prepare for tomorrow.
Today's descent to the origin world had been extremely exhausting for everyone. The unknown but formidable suppression had caused all these proud sons and daughters of heavens to exhaust their strength while crawling for more than half a day, putting them in a difficult position.
Because of Hai Yue's reminder, everyone recalled the terror of the origin world and instantly exercised restraint, taking a step back. Although Zhan Wuya was still dissatisfied, he wasn't foolish enough to offend Li Yunmu and Xie Qianxue, who were on his side, so he could only drop this matter for now.
At night, everyone took turns to keep watch, and the night passed calmly. Early in the morning of the second day, everyone discovered that the during the entire night, the unfamiliar jungle had been completely peaceful.
Not an insect had bothered them, let alone some ferocious beasts. But soon, the peaceful morning was broken by Zhao Mei's loud cry.
Everyone was vigilant and rushed out of their camps.
"What's the matter?"
Blade Devil's strength was clearly among the greatest in this group. He was the first one to reach the woman, and Zhao Mei foolishly pointed her finger toward the area behind her tent without saying anything.
Everyone looked in that direction and were instantly stunned.
This group of Flux Disciples which formed the top layer of the hierarchy of Flux Disciples in all the six continents had seen all kinds of stuff, but at this instant, they were all shocked by what they seeing, to the extent that all of them turned speechless for a long time.
Even Li Yunmu felt his mind exploding. In front of everyone's gazes, several kilometers away, there was a shimmering mountain range made of obsidian.
The mountain peak they had witnessed yesterday was just the tip of the iceberg, the real thing was far more enormous. But with just one careful glance in the daylight, everyone discovered that it wasn't a mountain range, but a motherf*cking corpse of an enormous black dragon.
"My god, is this a real dragon? It is really a dragon..." Men Shen who had followed behind Hai Yue murmured incessantly in his thick accent, which reached everyone's ears.
"It really is a real dragon."
"But it's already dead…"
Everyone was incredibly shocked—they hadn't expected that just after descending to the origin world, they would encounter such a terrifying supernatural being from the legends. Even if it was only a corpse which had been lying among the mountains and fields for who knows how long, it was still something to behold.
"A world where even deities can perish."
For Li Yunmu and others, this scene brought terror of the origin world to their hearts.
What sort of world was this where even gods could perish. It surpassed all of their understanding. The black dragon was like an enormous mountain range extending toward the north. Of the creature, they could barely see several tens of kilometers, and that was just the tail.
They could only see the tail.
Then how large exactly was this dragon? Several hundred kilometers or maybe even a thousand kilometers? Can a creature really grow to this stage?
None of them had the answer, because in their world, even the most terrifying quasi deity sage beast was only a hundred meter long and was known as Abyss Sage Python. It had required three battle sages to work together to force it to flee to the Seventh Dimension.
However, comparing that Abyss Sage Python to this dragon corpse was like comparing an enormous mountain to an earthworm.
