The Prodigies War

Chapter 1126 Chi Yao

It was already astonishing that a Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree tore apart the sky in the wilderness and underwent heavenly punishment.

But then, a chunk of sacred wood formed pure origin energy from the destructive power of the lightning tribulation and transformed into a young girl. This was all the more shocking.

How bizarre!

A’lu yelled out, “Hey! What monster is that?”

Lin Xun narrowed his black eyes, raising his vigilance. The girl looked pretty and sweet, but the aura around her was very unusual!

But Toady straightened his robe and cleared his throat with a cough and said with a smile, “Miss, what are you doing here? Are you not afraid of being abducted in this wilderness?”

He was dressed in an elegant green robe and had a handsome and charming face. An ordinary woman would have been besotted with him.

But the fiery-haired girl’s eyes flashed, and she lightly bit her lips and chuckled, “Little elder brother, you are so handsome but you want to abduct me. Could it be that you want to play something embarrassing with me?”

Her skin was snow-white, and her smile was sweet and captivating. As she spoke, she exhaled a fragrance like an orchid.

Toady’s eyes went wide. “You’re so forward. Miss, is that really okay?”

The fiery-haired girl said in a displeased tone, “Little elder brother, are you lustful but have no courage?”

“I…” Toady’s eyes rolled in his sockets.

“He likes men,” A’lu interrupted.

“Eh?” The fiery-haired girl looked blank.

Toady almost went crazy. He wanted to kick the barbarian to death, but he had to quickly explain, “Little sister, don’t misunderstand. I am very interested in you. The sun and the moon can prove my true heart to you!”

The fiery-haired girl giggled. Her laughter was as pleasant and beautiful as the morning rays. “Okay, do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? You just want to capture me and use me as a rare ingredient, am I right?”

Toady froze, realizing that the girl was not that easy to fool. He gave her a thumbs up. “My dear little sister, you have sharp eyes. Then what do you say?”

“Are all the descendants of the Three-Legged Golden Toad so shameless?” The girl was unexpectedly not annoyed, but her eyes glittered with interest as she studied Toady.

“What do you mean by shameless? Miss, please speak carefully.” Toady’s face darkened as he tried to hide his surprise. This girl is amazing. She even knows about my background!

“Then I might as well tell you that, if you try to trick me, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.” The fiery-haired girl smiled.

Swoosh!

Before her voice faded, a flicker of flame shot up from Toady’s feet like a snake springing up.

Toady frantically leapt away and swung his palm with lightning speed.

But to his surprise, the flame suddenly transformed into a fire dragon, growing several times larger. Monstrous flames surged up from its tremendous mountain-like body and flooded the entire space.

Toady was frightened once again and about to fight back with all his strength.

But the giant fire dragon faded into a shower of flames and vanished with a pff.

At the same time, the fiery-haired girl’s laughter echoed like wind chimes. “I’m just teasing you, but you really wanted to fight against me.”

“Miss, you are so mischievous!”

Toady ground his teeth with anger and gave the fiery-haired girl a surly look. The girl had given him a scare and embarrassed him.

The fiery-haired girl was standing there with a cheerful look on her face, but her gaze was on Lin Xun. “I am called Chi Yao. Today, I took advantage of the changes in the world. I was lucky enough to break the shackles that have bound me for years and awakened. I never thought I would alarm you guys. I’m really sorry.”

Her one sentence sent Lin Xun’s heart trembling.

It turned out that the Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree was not trying to overcome the tribulation, but instead used the power of the lightning to destroy the shackles and awaken her!

Undoubtedly, they had all misunderstood. The bright and energetic girl was actually an ancient-era eccentric genius who had been silent for countless years!

“Chi Yao! What a name!” Toady laughed. Clearly, he was still bothered by what happened earlier.

Chi Yao rolled her eyes. “You should take some medicine.”

“Miss, there is no need to apologize. We were a little rude just now. But I’m glad that the misunderstanding is cleared up, we shall take our leave now.” Lin Xun gave a cupped fist salute and motioned Toady and A’lu to leave.

“Brothers, can you take me with you?”

Who would have thought that Chi Yao would catch up to them, but her footsteps were accompanied by the rattle of chains.

Only then did Lin Xun and the others notice that there was a strange black chain shackled around her fair ankles, filled with a chilling aura of death.

When she stood still, the chains were invisible and undetectable, but the moment she moved, they were immediately revealed.

Noticing the gazes of Lin Xun and the others, Chi Yao said casually, “It’s just a natural shackle. When I become a king, I can destroy it myself.”

“Who actually are you? In my opinion, you don’t look like a spirit entity transformed from the Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree at all.” Toady frowned, sizing up Chi Yao with his golden eyes.

Chi Yao explained truthfully, “I am not a spirit entity in the first place. I was just sealed in the tree by my ancestors, taking advantage of its wither and thrive power to withstand the erosion of time. At the same time, I also studied the dao of wither and thrive.”

“Your ancestors left the chain on you?”

Toady stared at the chain on her ankles, and the more he looked at it, the more rapidly his heart beat. The deathly aura around the chain was terrifying, able to transform into bizarre distorting dao runes.

This was not something that ordinary people could achieve. Even among Saints, only those who had set foot into the Big Saint Stage could do that.

“Correct.” Chi Yao nodded.

However, Lin Xun still refused to let Chi Yao travel with them.

This surprised Chi Yao. As she watched Lin Xun and the others depart, the smile on her pretty and cheerful little face subsided, replaced by a cold and emotionless expression.

“A descendant of a king from the Three-Legged Golden Toad Clan, one with the aura of the Dragon Elephant War Emperor, and the other...”

Her shapely brows wrinkled as she thought of Lin Xun. “A descendant of the True Dragon Clan? No, he is human and he is pure-blooded, but why does he have the aura of the True Dragon Clan?”

She thought long and hard but still couldn’t figure out anything.

“No matter what, that guy must be carrying a piece of Bodhi wood on him, and it is a Bodhi wood that has been struck by Dao Slashing Power…” Chi Yao murmured and her clear and beautiful eyes started to blaze uncontrollably.

But she very quickly suppressed it.

“Miss, did you see what just happened here?” A group of cultivators came racing over from the distance like masses of black clouds.

The lightning tribulation caused by the Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree had caught the attention of many cultivators.

Chi Yao seemed unaware, still deep in thought. “That guy must want to enter the Supreme Realm. If so, there will be a chance to meet him again.”

With her gaze drifting off in thought, her bare feet moved forward, heading into the distance.

The cultivators were all taken aback to be ignored by a little girl. They felt they had lost face.

“Stop, didn’t you hear what we asked you?” A cultivator charged up to her.

Boom!

But before he could get close, a raging flame engulfed and incinerated the powerful Cyclic Derivation Stage expert.

Instantly, he turned into ashes like he had evaporated from the world, leaving no corpse behind.

But Chi Yao still looked completely unaware, wandering alone through the mountains and across the rivers. Her fiery red hair fluttered around her like she was a fairy of flames.

The cultivators were all scared out of their wits. Who was that girl? Why is she so weird and terrifying?

……

Swoosh!

The Grand Universe Ark sailed across the void.

The great changes across the world had sparked chaos. Lin Xun and the others frequently ran into dangers, including conflicts with old monsters of the king stage, so they had no choice but to travel in the Grand Universe Ark

“You were right to refuse. That girl is extremely weird. She looks cute, charming, and as innocent as a child, but in truth, she is not an ordinary person!”

On the ship, Toady’s expression turned serious for a rare moment. “No ordinary person would be able to take advantage of the Scarlet Cloud Sacred Tree to cultivate in silence. Moreover, when she was born, she used the lightning tribulation to break the shackles that bound her. This is even more unbelievable.”

After a pause, he continued, “Most importantly, the chains on her ankles should be an extremely terrifying Saint treasure of extraordinary origin!”

A’lu said in surprise, “I thought you had been bewitched by her already.”

Toady snapped, “I am not that stupid!”

“She is indeed not ordinary,” Lin Xun remarked.

This was the first time he had witnessed the ‘birth’ of an ancient-era eccentric genius. The sight was astonishing and affected him greatly.

How many ancient-era eccentric geniuses like Chi Yao were there in the world?

No one knew.

But it definitely would not be few.

Five days later.

Lin Xun and the others came to an ancient battlefield.

It still had the remnants of the war, with ruins and devastation everywhere. Occasionally, they spotted rotten bones and broken armor and weapons on the ground.

The foul wind roared, the sky was dim, and from time to time, lightning bolts ripped the void and lit up the ghastly scene.

“If I remember correctly, after we pass through this battlefield, in less than ten thousand miles is the Sunset Current Valley, where the Golden Crow Clan occupies land. Back in ancient times, it was regarded as a Hidden Holy Land, but I extremely dislike the Golden Crow Clan. I wonder if those golden crows are all dead now.”

Toady led Lin Xun and A’lu toward the depths of the ancient battlefield like he was very familiar with this place.

A thought struck Lin Xun. He remembered what the Bloodthirsty Queen Zhao Xingye had said to him when they were on the Blood Kill Battlefield.

The No-Nonsense Bow was an extremely terrifying Saint treasure with unmatched heaven-defying power. If he could find its weapon spirit, he could restore the bow to its perfect state.

According to Zhao Xingye, the weapon spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow was highly likely hidden in the Sunset Current Valley!

“Toady, have you ever been to Sunset Current Valley before?” asked Lin Xun.

Toady shook his head. “That’s the territory of the Golden Crow Clan, a clan infamous for its ruthlessness and insidiousness in ancient times. Also, the clan is watched over by many terrifying old monsters. Who would dare go there?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the gloomy sky was suddenly lighting up as though a golden sun was rapidly rising over the area.

Toady froze for a moment. “What a coincidence! We really ran into the Golden Crow Clan!”
