Chapter 2669: Chapter 2668: Mountain Summit
The storm was coming, as if the sky was being torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a force mixed with darkness and fury surged from the crack, transforming into an unprecedented dark storm.
The fierce wind carried a sharp howl, as if it wanted to consume all living things.
"Quick! Find cover, hold tight to the rock wall!" Lin Dong’s voice was particularly firm in the storm, he swiftly turned around, using all his strength to steady himself, while warning his teammates.
Yun Ruoxian and Aidan quickly reacted, each finding a relatively stable rock crevice as a wind shelter. Tian Kong, relying on his extraordinary agility, tightly stuck to the rock wall, motionless like a gecko.
However, Tang Yun’s situation was worrying. Her strength was initially weaker, and the sudden storm made it nearly impossible for her to stand.
A more violent wave of wind hit, and Tang Yun instantly lost her balance, leaning back, seemingly about to be swept into the endless darkness.
"Tang Yun!" Lin Dong, quick-witted, disregarded his own safety, forcefully extending a hand to precisely grab Tang Yun’s wrist.
At that moment, their eyes met in the air.
Lin Dong exerted all his might, slowly pulling Tang Yun back to safety.
"Thank you so much, Lin Dong. I’m tempted to pledge myself to you." Tang Yun, after being saved, although pale, her lips curled into a playful smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with humor.
Lin Dong heard this, couldn’t help but give her a sideways glance: "At this moment, you still have the mind to joke. Don’t get distracted, hold tight. I can save you once, but can’t save you multiple times."
Tang Yun heard this, collected her smile, seriously nodded, gripping the rock wall crevices even harder.
The storm continued raging, everyone exerted their utmost effort, persevering to resist the storm, not letting themselves be blown away.
Half an hour later, when the last gust of wind seemed to exhaust its strength, the dark storm finally slowly subsided.
The night sky returned to calm.
The six exchanged smiles, though their clothes were in disarray, their faces full of fatigue and dirt, their eyes sparkled with victory.
"We shall continue, there’s still a long way to the mountaintop." Lin Dong spoke first.
The others also nodded, tidying up their gear, once again set off on their climbing journey.
Lin Dong’s group, having braved countless difficulties, and under the shroud of darkness, continuously climbed for three days and nights.
The distant mountaintop was now faintly visible, seemingly within reach.
The summit was indeed as they thought, broad and flat, like a giant tray quietly suspended in the void, extending outward but suddenly stopping at a point, as if blocked by an invisible force, appearing mysterious and awe-inspiring.
"The shape of this mountaintop is really strange," Yun Ruoxian said.
"We have to head towards the extended part," Lin Dong spoke.
The group nodded unanimously, the mountaintop extended long and rectangular, outward stretching long distances.
Moreover, it was shrouded in black fog, looking extremely terrifying.
"Use the divine talisman to guide us forward, otherwise, we can’t even see the road." The black fog ahead completely blocked their vision.
Then it’s not night time now, but within this black fog, the road is completely invisible.
Even the firelight is useless, unable to illuminate the black fog.
Only relying on the divine talisman for guidance.
Lin Dong at this moment, took out a divine talisman.
This divine talisman, called the ’Guiding Fire Talisman’, is not high level, only a Second Grade Divine Talisman.
And its function is only to guide the path.
Its use doesn’t require inner Qi activation.
Simply use the flame to burn it, and it can exert its function.
At this moment, Lin Dong ignited the guiding fire talisman, then it floated ahead like a guide, leading them forward.
The guiding fire talisman can avoid obstacles and recognize danger.
If there are obstacles or danger ahead, it will automatically stop.
Now, under the lead of the guiding fire talisman, Lin Dong and the six continue forward.
Here compared to before, it is faster as the summit is not so steep.
Of course, it’s not much faster.
After walking for several hours, when they approached the summit full of hope, suddenly, the guiding fire talisman stopped ahead.
This was a hint, there was danger ahead!
The air ahead suddenly became heavy and oppressive, a dense toxic mist like the breath of the death god, quietly spread.
This toxic mist contained a terrible force enough to corrode everything and devour living beings, even Lin Dong and other cultivators with extraordinary cultivation levels had to use all their spiritual power to resist the toxic mist’s erosion.
Just then, a deafening wing flapping sound came from the depths of the toxic mist, the sound was so loud it seemed able to tear space and shatter the soul.
Following that, a giant flying strange beast slowly revealed its huge body from the toxic mist.
"It’s the Netherworld Winged Dragon!" The soul of the Sovereign Witch manifested, fixed its gaze on the giant flying strange beast ahead, and spoke gravely.
This Netherworld Winged Dragon was tens of feet long, with wings spread, blocking out the sky, covered in dark black scales like night, each seeming to hold the breath of death.
Its eyes flickered with ghostly green flames, like two balls of ghost fire, especially striking in the darkness, revealing an ancient and evil power.
This frightening appearance instantly shattered the summit’s tranquility, its huge body weaving in the air, each wing movement stirred up fierce gales, intertwining with the surrounding toxic mist creating an alarming picture.
It emitted a deep and prolonged roar, filled with anger and provocation at the intruder, as if wanting to enshroud the entire summit in its shadow.
Facing the sudden formidable enemy, Lin Dong and the others, despite internal fear, did not retreat.
They knew that only by defeating this Netherworld Winged Dragon could they hope to uncover the summit’s secrets and leave this eerie space.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the spirit of the Sovereign Witch!
Having lost their inner Qi, they could only rely on the spirit of the Sovereign Witch.
The spirit of the Sovereign Witch stared at the Netherworld Winged Dragon, and the dragon also sensed the profound divine soul power from the spirit.
Its gaze naturally focused mainly on the spirit of the Sovereign Witch.
The flying strange beast, the Netherworld Winged Dragon, its body gigantic like a mountain, wings spread blocking out the sky, covered in dark purple scales, under moonlight glimmering with a gloomy cold light. Its eyes like the deep night sky, projecting a captivating cold and violent aura.
Opposing it, was the ethereal and dignified spirit of the Sovereign Witch. Its body was surrounded by faint blue light, exuding an undeniable majesty and power.
The battle was imminent, the Netherworld Winged Dragon attacked first, it roared skyward, the sound wave shaking the surrounding space.
The wings swung fiercely, fierce winds arose, kicked up sands and stones forming sharp blade winds, directly targeting the Sovereign Witch.
The Sovereign Witch’s expression turned grave, facing the Netherworld Winged Dragon, even she had no guarantee of victory.
