Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money - Chapter 217

217 The Mystery From Ancient Times

In ancient times, the abundance of spiritual energy resulted in a variety of living creatures, so it was not strange for such fierce beasts to exist. However, for some reason, as time went on, spiritual energy depleted and these fierce beasts gradually disappeared.

A hill on the ground trembled non-stop, accompanied by rumbling sounds. A demonic beast that was 100 meters tall emerged from the ground. It looked a little like a pangolin, but it had several pairs of different wings that were covered with dense scales.

When the scales opened up, they turned out to be countless mouths. Its sharp teeth seemed to be able to tear everything apart and instantly swallowed countless huge beasts.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his back. This creature had too many mouths. If he was bitten, even if he didn’t die, he would be severely injured.

!!
This ferocious beast was like a taotie. Wherever it passed, it would consume everything. Its powerful bite force made it impossible for any demonic beast to escape. It didn’t even spit out any bones.

Roar!

A beast’s roar came from the sky.

Ye Xuan subconsciously looked up at the sky. An extremely hot ball was rushing towards them. Due to the high temperature, even the clouds were set ablaze. The burning sky was inexplicably beautiful.

The ball looked like a flying sun, and from within it, a huge bird flew out. It had three legs and easily caught the other beast that was on the ground.

The original overlord of the land had become the food of this unknown bird, and the roles of hunter and prey had been completely reversed.

In the blink of an eye, the bird crashed into a spider web. The white web, which blotted out the sky and covered the earth, wrapped it up in layers. The bird kept spewing out hot flames from its mouth, and the spider web instantly became a sea of fire.

However, after the sea of fire disappeared, the spider web was still intact.

Ye Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. This wasn’t a cobweb; it was clearly an inescapable net! He couldn’t help but feel an itch in his heart. If he used this spider web to tie people up, no one in the modern world would be able to escape from him.

It was a pity that everything in front of him was illusory, and he could only look at it.

The spider web trembled slightly. Ye Xuan had never seen such a huge spider before.

Even with the height of several mountain ranges added together, the spider moved nimbly over its web. Without a sound, it stabbed its fangs into the bird’s neck, killing it in one blow.

Countless pairs of eyes flickered like stars in the sky. It gave Ye Xuan goosebumps. Looking at them for more than a second made him feel sick.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but look away. When he looked again, the spider had already disappeared, leaving only the big web, quietly waiting for new prey to appear.

This was survival of the fittest.

For some reason, such a statement appeared in Ye Xuan’s mind.

In this land, there was no order. Only strength was respected. Life and death battles occurred endlessly every day, just like reincarnation.

It was either eat or be eaten. This was the cruel law of nature and the reason for the survival of these demonic beasts.

Ye Xuan looked at the scene in front of him. He wasn’t a saint, so he wasn’t too moved. After all, this was how these demonic beasts lived.

However, there was a demonic beast that would always be at the top of the pyramid, sitting high above all the other demonic beasts. It was the dragon, the owner of the Dragon Pearl.

Most of the time, it seemed to be sleeping and didn’t care about what was happening down below. Naturally, no fierce beasts dared to disturb it, unless they were tired of living.

When it turned over, even a sneeze could cause a violent earthquake below. However, nothing seemed to be able to arouse its interest.

“Since the dragon clan was so powerful back then, why did they fall?” Ye Xuan muttered.

He was a little confused, but he didn’t think much about it. Too many things died in the past 1000 years. The dragon clan wouldn’t be the first, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. Ye Xuan speculated that he would continue to waste his time here until the power of the Dragon Pearl was exhausted.

If that was the case, then he regretted watering it with dragon blood. He didn’t know how long he would be trapped here.

Suddenly, his vision turned black. When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned.

There was a huge hole in the sky. To be more precise, it was a black crack that was spreading in all directions. Countless black threads covered the sky, filling it with an ominous and cold aura.

The mountains were split, and the rivers were cut off. The ground was covered with piles of bones, layering the earth with white.

Black and red intertwined in the sky, and the fluctuating light made the creatures panic. The sun had long disappeared, and the celestial bodies had fallen. Even the spiritual energy in the air had been replaced by the gloomy and cold aura above.

“What exactly happened?” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself. Such a doomsday-like scene was too terrifying.

A huge spiritual power fluctuation came from above, as if the sky was falling down. It took Ye Xuan’s breath away. A battle of such scale had long surpassed his imagination.

It was definitely not something he could participate in with his current cultivation. Even just looking made his internal organs feel squeezed and he felt like he was going to explode.

Ye Xuan only took a few glances. The dragon clan was fighting, so there should be something in the crack. He wasn’t too sure because the opponents were too far away.

He also found that the dragon was more powerful than before. There was actually someone standing on its head, fighting with some kind of creature in the crack.

The spiritual power that the person emitted made Ye Xuan breathless.

He was a little surprised. The dragon clan was powerful to begin with, so who else could control such a powerful being?
