Chapter 334: One Day Journey In the Primordial World

The mountains and rivers were a beautiful sight.

The fluctuations of the mountains and their rising peaks were over 10,000 meters tall. It was as if many heavenly pillars were rising from the ground and shooting towards the sky.

Ancient, dignified, majestic…

Endless vast and vicissitude auras came gushing over.

There were large stretches of primitive forests, and the entire place was like the primordial world before the universe was formed.

Each ancient tree was like a huge pillar, and even the thinnest of them would require over ten people to carry it up. It was unknown how long they had been growing for, but their vitality remained extremely strong and they were evergreen all year round.

The primordial world, the most primitive scene. It felt as if the space-time had been switched and Feng Lin was very surprised by this.

In fact, he wasn’t unfamiliar with this feeling. When he entered the Kusanagi mythological secret realm he had experienced a similar scene.

The mythological secret realm was situated independently in a stretch of space, cut off from the rest of the world. Therefore, they would naturally appear to be very different.

Then where was this place?

Feng Lin started to feel curious, and his spirit force went probing out toward the surroundings.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, the earth trembled. Smoke and dust seethed in the far distance.

A group of massive figures came charging over, each of their two huge teeth piercing into the air. They looked very terrifying and savage.

This was clearly a herd of mammoths that had already gone extinct in Ancient Earth. Although they looked very similar, their bodies were way bigger than the fossils. Each of them was over 30 meters tall, and they were like small mountains. They came charging over, and their huge feet left many cavities in the ground.

Howl howl howl!

Sharp cries rang out incessantly.

A group of saber-toothed tigers that had a height of over ten meters were chasing behind the mammoths, their eyes gleaming with greed and brutality.

Whenever one or two of the mammoths were to fall behind the rest of the herd, they would immediately be surrounded and devoured by the saber-toothed tigers.

This wasn’t all!

Smoke and dust seethed and gigantic pangolins, moas, crocodiles—many ancient animals that should have been extinct in the primitive times appeared. It was as if this place was the Jurassic World.

The beast tide seethed and came charging over from the distance. The fluctuations formed a stretch of continuous black tidal waves.

Every wild beast was wearing terrified expressions, as if they were escaping something horrifying.

Feng Lin stood at the mountain pass and watched silently, not regaining his senses even after a very long time had passed.

A primordial scene that was ancient and vicissitude appeared before his eyes.

After the fog, it felt as if he had passed through the passage of time and arrived in the primordial ages of ancient times.

It was novel yet astonishing.

Screech!

A screech that pierced through the sky rang out and the sky immediately darkened.

A huge shadow was cast, covering up the sun. Although it was daylight, it seemed as dark as night. The sun and moon shied away, and there was no hint of light except at the very edge of the horizons.

Feng Lin raised his head and looked over. Through the dim light, he could only see a huge pair of indescribable wings flashing, sending up surging wind across the land. Dust flew up and the mammoths that were as heavy as mountains, the ferocious saber-toothed tigers, and the large scaly pangolins… all of them were thrown into the sky like small rats, swallowed into the huge mouth, and chewed up into minced meat. The smell of blood permeated the air.

Strong gales gushed.

The light on the horizon started to brighten up.

Feng Lin raised his head and looked over, quickly recording it with his identity microchip.

A gigantic bird that had the body of a fish and a pair of huge wings let out a sharp screech and flew across the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

“In the northern darkness, there is a fish and its name is Kun. The Kun is so huge I don’t know how many thousand li it measures. It changes and becomes a bird whose name is Peng. The back of the Peng measures I don’t know how many thousand li across. When it rises and flies off, its wings are like clouds all over the sky. When the sea begins to move, this bird sets off for the southern darkness…” [1]

This was…

Kun-Peng?

Having the body of a fish and wings of a bird… other than this mysterious creature in Huaxia’s ancient myths and legends, he couldn’t think of any other creature that would fit this description.

The Kun-Peng spread out its wings that were as large as the universe. Its vertical-slit pupils radiated an intelligent glow, and they were filled with contempt toward life.

Its wings flapped and it disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind seething demonic auras that lingered for a very long time in the air.

The ground was battered and a stretch of emptiness appeared within the beast wave. The beasts there had been devoured.

However, the group of beasts behind continued to charged forth in waves, instantly drowning the traces left behind by the Kun-Peng. It disappeared entirely.

A primitive scene, a primordial world… Everything was just so unbelievable.

To think that there was still an actual surviving world of myths and legends after all this time.

If this scene were to spread out, it would probably cause a commotion throughout the entire universe. Countless people and organizations would want to come in to investigate and explore this place.

An extremely thick spiritual qi permeated the air, turning into the fog to nourish all sorts of strange flowers and mysterious grass… They took all sorts of strange forms and emitted intense spiritual vigor.

Many plants had already been extinct in the universe.

…

This was the primordial world?

Feng Lin was secretly overjoyed.

(It’s a great, great fortune!)

If he could bring out these strange beasts and plants, he wondered how many contribution points he could exchange them for?

(But how can such a primordial world survive and be forgotten by the rest of the world? There must be some kind of huge secret behind this.)

The beast wave was filled with ancient ferocious living creatures that could count as primitive hegemonic-level existence.

Feng Lin went all out to conceal his own aura. Although he was unafraid, he didn’t wish to attract unnecessary trouble either.

He was observing from the side and suddenly noticed a strange thing. These beasts came charging over from the distance, and there were all sorts of living creatures mixed together. Some of them were even deadly foes with each other. However, they didn’t show any signs of attacking each other, and their pupils were magnified, filled with intense terror. It was as if they were desperately fleeing for their lives.

It was as if the world’s end had arrived and they wanted to run away as quickly and as far as possible.

What on earth happened there?

Feng Lin couldn’t help but find things strange. He looked toward the source of the beast wave.

The primordial world was shrouded in mystery everywhere. He wondered what kind of abnormalities had taken place there. Maybe he might be able to see through some truth.

Wealth was sought amidst dangers.

Feng Lin had the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene’s abilities and could survive for at least an hour even in outer space. He would be able to protect himself regardless of how bad the environment was, and he would naturally not be afraid of anything.

He didn’t retreat but advance instead, moving toward the beast wave.

The vast land and the beast waves were like a long dragon that one couldn’t see the end of.

Feng Lin ran across the land like illusions, and the scenery was thrown off behind him. However, even after very long, he couldn’t see the origin of the beast wave.

He decided not to wait any longer and stomped down heavily on the ground. His figure leaped into the air, and he rode on the clouds, dashing out through the sky.

The higher he went up, the clearer were the mountains and rivers under his feet.

Intense spiritual qi gushed into his body, and even his genetic power became lively.

Feng Lin roamed in the sky, feeling exhilarated that everything was under his feet.

A stream of black smoke rose, instantly attracting his attention.

Feng Lin accelerated and the black smoke that was like a huge pillar was gradually presented before him.

A tall mountain that was beyond one’s imagination stood with a height of over 30,000 meters. The top of the mountain spurted out burning flames, illuminating the sky in red and sending black, seething smoke all over.

The forest at the bottom of the mountain was in a state of chaos. Countless wild beasts were fleeing in a rage, as if it was the end of the world.

Feng Lin suddenly discovered that these flames were ordinary yellow-red color but had an intense baleful aura!

This was…

Earthfiend True Fire!
