Chapter 329: The Ascenders of the Small World
After Xu Fan got a clear picture of the situation, he revealed himself and stood there, staring at the hybrid dragon.
“Roar~~”
The hybrid dragon just glanced at Xu Fan, who had transformed into a Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, and let out a soft growl.
In beast language, it basically meant, “Get lost.”
Meanwhile, back on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan, who was controlling the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, smirked slightly.
A good car needs a test drive right out of the gate—top speed is what makes it shine.
As Xu Fan looked at the coiled hybrid dragon ahead, he could almost hear the classic racing tunes playing in his ears. (Deja vu~~)
Suddenly, countless ice blades began to form around Xu Fan, spinning and gathering into a storm that surged toward the hybrid dragon.
“Roar~~”
The once-lazy hybrid dragon instantly flared up, leaping to its feet and charging at Xu Fan, leaving a trail of icy circles in its wake.
“Divine Ability: Ice Blade”
“Divine Ability: Awakening Spirit”
The ice blades Xu Fan summoned swirled into a massive vortex, hollow at its core.
Two enormous water snakes, each hundreds of meters long, materialized beside Xu Fan. With a flick of his hand, they gained intelligence in their eyes and darted toward the distant hybrid giant python.
“Summoning’s not bad either,” Xu Fan said casually.
If he couldn’t even handle a Core Formation stage beast with a Core Formation stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey under his control, then his so-called exceptional talent would be a joke.
With that, Xu Fan summoned a swarm of Nascent Soul stage piranhas.
Feeling the seamless flow of the Core Formation stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey’s divine abilities, Xu Fan’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“I could take on two more of these Core Formation stage beasts.”
Just as the hybrid dragon was getting annoyed by the two water snakes and the swarm of piranhas, two earth-shaking roars erupted from hundreds of miles away.
Two top-tier Core Formation stage hybrid dragons were charging straight for Xu Fan.
“Oh great, they actually showed up,” Xu Fan muttered.
“So this passage is your family’s heirloom, huh?” Xu Fan remarked, sensing the imposing aura of the two approaching hybrid dragons.
“Bringing the whole family? You think I’m an easy target?”
“Grape, bring out the Demon Suppressing Star. Leave the little one to me.”
“Understood,” Grape responded.
At that moment, the passage guarded by the hybrid dragon flickered with a faint light, and a young boy in the early Transformation God stage appeared at the entrance.
The boy frowned as he felt the pressure of the deep sea and muttered, “Is this the upper realm? Why is it all underwater?”
He glanced around, searching for something.
“Where’s my friend, Ironstone?”
Just then, a voice called out.
“Kid, do you want to die? Find a place to hide, quick!” Xu Fan transmitted the message.
Luckily, Xu Fan had drawn the battle away; otherwise, that hybrid dragon might have snacked on the boy too.
The boy felt the combat backlash from the fight between the hybrid dragon and Xu Fan’s summoned beasts and bolted in terror.
Just then, two light columns shot down from the sky, piercing through the ocean surface to the seabed. Two hybrid dragons that had come to help were instantly killed, without even a chance to struggle.
“Awwooo~~”
The hybrid dragon let out a mournful howl, sensing its parents’ deaths.
“Don’t worry, little one. I’ll send you to meet your family soon.”
Xu Fan summoned several Void Refinement stage water snakes and sent them to attack the hybrid dragon.
At that moment, the boy who had fled earlier appeared beside Xu Fan.
“I am Lin Yufeng, paying my respects to you, senior,” the boy said, bowing respectfully.
Xu Fan, casually watching his summoned beasts in action, said lightly, “You’re lucky. If nothing goes wrong, you’re the first cultivator from your small world to survive in thousands of years.”
“What do you mean, senior?” the boy asked, puzzled.
“That hybrid dragon has been guarding the path to ascension. It eats one ascender at a time, or a whole group if they come together,” Xu Fan explained with a sigh.
“Could what that Nascent Soul Stage cultivator said be true?” the boy muttered, frowning.
Just before he was about to ascend, a rumor had spread through the cultivation world:
“The passage to the Upper World is guarded by a dragon that devours all ascending cultivators.”
Hearing the boy’s words, Xu Fan realized that Shi Zhan was still alive.
At that moment, the hybrid dragon let out a final mournful cry as it fell to the combined attacks of the water snakes and piranhas.
Several underwater puppets swam over and dragged away the hybrid dragon’s corpse.
Xu Fan walked to the passage and began carving a Formation to connect it to the teleportation formation of Nine Phoenix Island. This way, anyone ascending after would be sent directly there.
“Alright, kid, don’t follow me anymore. Head ten thousand miles southeast, and you’ll enter the cultivation world. There, you’ll find everything you need to know,” Xu Fan said, glancing at the boy behind him.
“Thank you for your guidance, senior,” the boy said, bowing again.
“By the way, if you want to fully understand this cultivation world, there’s a giant island several thousand miles to the southeast called Nine Phoenix Island. There’s a sect there named Jiufeng Pavilion. You can serve as an offering there and get all the information you need.”
Xu Fan added this, as connecting the passage to Nine Phoenix Island had been part of his plan.
“Thank you for the reminder, senior,” the boy said, bowing once more before flying off in the direction Xu Fan had pointed.
Once the boy was gone, Xu Fan summoned a Transformation Stage puppet and sent it into the small world passage.
After finishing this, he stepped through the teleportation formation and returned to Jiufeng Island.
Xu Fan found Feng Chang Ning and explained the situation with the small world passage, as well as the thoughts left behind by the ascenders.
“Leave this to me, Grand Elder,” Feng Chang Ning said, nodding. She was already thinking of ways to keep those ascenders.
Two Transformation Stage heavy armor puppets, each holding a Giant Shield, appeared before Feng Chang Ning.
“These two puppets will follow you from now on. They’ll help intimidate any ascenders coming from the small world,” Xu Fan said.
“Understood.”
With everything settled, Xu Fan withdrew his focus from the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys.
“I’ve given you a chance. It’s up to you to make the most of it,” Xu Fan said, gazing at the turbulent sea in the distance.
Meanwhile, above the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake near Lin Sen Fairy City, a girl stared at the empty lake surface.
“Where did such a big island go?” she wondered, disappointment flickering in her eyes.
“Coo coo~”
A blue-tinged divine bird chirped softly beside her.
“I get it. Let’s go,” the girl said, stepping onto the bird’s back. They transformed into a streak of blue light and flew away.
“Where has my husband gone~~” the girl murmured sadly.
Far away on Hidden Spirit Island in the Endless Sea, Xu Fan suddenly looked up toward the central continent and muttered, “I feel like I’ve forgotten something important.”
“Big Brother Xu, want to go fishing?” Wang Yulun asked, holding a fishing rod. Ever since his near-death experience, he had become even more laid-back than Xu Fan.
