Chapter 655: Chapter 379: Contract with the Spirit of Cave Sky _1
“So this is what Cave Sky is!”
A young man with fair and radiant features lay prone on the barren Scorched Earth, marked by lightning scars and void of life. His body was haggardly ruined, many parts penetrated, exposing charred and burnt flesh.
But what really drew attention was the bone wing on his back—only a part remained, adorned with charred remnants of flesh. The once pure and flawless wings had been ravaged, leaving only the skeletal frame.
“Indeed, it’s beyond my grasp.”
Lying amidst the mundane world, the Feather person youth—with his looks that could captivate most females and even incite the powerful’s fantasies—revealed a resigned smile.
Once vigorous and full of life, his handsome face rapidly aged as wrinkles formed at a visible pace. His once radiant complexion now had the pallor of old age and the gloom of an impending death.
“You dared covet the master’s Cave Sky? I don’t know whether to admire your courage or ridicule your ignorance.”
The figure of the Merfolk Queen, majestic and elegant with a Golden Trident in her hands, emerged amidst the clear currents in the air.
“Daring to appear before me now? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
The Feather person king, whose face had rapidly aged from youth to middle age, looked at the graceful and beauteous Merfolk Queen with indifferent and spiritless eyes.
“I doubt you have the strength left to do so.”
The Merfolk Queen confidently replied from a relatively close distance of only ten feet above the ground. She was certain that this old king was no longer a threat. Besides, she was within the protection of the master’s Cave Sky, rendering her fearless.
“What right do you have to kill me anyway?”
“Why wouldn’t I have the right?”
The Feather person king, whose face had already aged into that of an elder’s and was proceeding to age even faster, answered without any expression.
“Your desire to kill me is predicated on the disaster I brought upon the Qiong Yu tribe. However, your actions have planted seeds of potential extinction. When compared, your actions far exceed mine.”
“All of this started because of you.”
“But didn’t you fail to control your own desire and delusions?”
“Sweet talker!”
“No matter what you say, you’re nearing the end.”
The Merfolk Queen cast a glance at the old Feather person’s legs, of which hardly any flesh remained. His damaged legs were starting to emit a radiance that resembled feathers and was scattering towards the sky.
For cultivators, this is a sign of imminent death, and he was on the brink of it. It wouldn’t be long before this menacing old brute would disintegrate completely, returning all his life’s cultivation to the universe.
“What a pity,” she observed.
The old Feather person showed no emotional response to the Merfolk Queen’s sarcastic comments. After all, he had experienced all there was in his long life. At the end of his life, he made an impossible attempt, experienced the majesty of the Heavenly Immortals a little bit. Of course, he had regrets, but not that strong.
As for the continuation of the tribe, he didn’t care that much at this moment. After all, he was about to die, what was the use of thinking that much?
He spent most of his life devoted to his tribe; it doesn’t make sense to exhaust his energy for the tribe during the final moments of his life.
Although he brought calamity upon the tribe, he preferred to believe in the wisdom of his descendants, letting them figure out a way to continue the bloodline.
If they can’t manage it, there’s nothing he could do. They would have to face extinction, and he wouldn’t be there to witness it, he has done all he could.
“Insolent and pitiful creature!”
The Feather person whose body was nearly half transformed into radiant fire, scattered across the Cave Sky, gazed calmly at the sky above.
But in his last moments, he heard a jeering voice, mocking as if an ignorant and pitiful creature.
The Merfolk Queen, oblivious to the voice that showed no sign of change, was noticed by the old king, something was amiss. His closing eyes shot open, attempting to find the source of the voice.
That’s when he saw it—a colossal entity suspended high in the sky, overlooking the millions of miles of landscapes in the Cave Sky.
Its existence was not abrupt. It had always been there above, observing everything from the high sky. It was just that the Spirits in the Cave Sky, including the beings in the Cave Sky, were all oblivious to it. He could only sense it when he was on the verge of death, after most of his body had transformed and merged into the Cave Sky.
“So, there really is a will that governs everything in the Cave Sky. I thought I had a chance, how naive of me to have such unrealistic delusions.”
The old Feather person gazed at the colossal entity in the sky, with nine serpentine yet dragon-like heads and elongated necks, stretching like a range of mountains.
The colossal entity that almost concealed the sky offered an unparalleled visual impact, but this didn’t shock the old Feather person much.
In the pitch-dark depths of the sea, he had encountered ancient exotic species of unimaginable scale, and just a while ago, he had seen the gigantic Da Kun that the Human Race brought to his tribe.
“Can you see me now?”
Noticing the alien’s gaze that dared to reach for the Cave Sky, Jiuling responded indifferently.
