Chapter 115: Statue
In the Northern Mountain range, a giant bronze statue of a man was standing tall amidst the ice storm. It was 400 feet tall, and his fists were clenched together into a praying motion, his eyes staring at the sky.
And that terrifying aura Chen Yi felt was coming from the spear mark on its forehead. Chen Yi focused on that spear mark; he was able to feel the real horror of this mark. The Heavenly Demon in his soul sea, and instantly opened his eyes and stopped the flow of the spiritual Qi through his body, and his vision turned normal once again.
It was the first time that this had happened with him; he didn't know what caused the Heavenly Demon to react like this, but he was ready to find out.
He was still looking at the Northern Mountains, but this time, he wasn't using spiritual Qi; instead, the celestial Qi was running through his body, giving him the power beyond realms.
He stared in that direction for a while, then suddenly his body vanished into the thin air, appearing straight on the top of the statue's head.
"Huh, so much silence." Chen Yi spoke in a low voice, yet his voice echoed through the entire northern mountain range.
Hearing his echoing voice, he felt a little strange. But he didn't dwell on it much, as he was thinking about what secrets this statue carries. He was unable to comprehend what kind of secret this statue has.
All he knew was that finding it out felt was finding it out was necessary. After thinking for a while, he was still unable to come up with the secret of this statue. But he did find that spear tattoo on the forehead of the statue, terrifying. He was able to feel oppression coming from it, but luckily, his celestial Qi was allowing him to nullify this pressure.
"What could it be?" Chen Yi placed his hand on the tattoo, trying to understand what this aura is. After all, it was the first time he felt this kind of strange power. This Aura was definitely above the Half-Saint stage, but his Qi was still lower than that of the celestial Qi he was using. But it was close.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he saw a completely different world inside the statue. There was a completely different world there.
This wasn't something he was expecting, but the world inside the statue felt completely endless.
The world inside was so big that it made him completely freak out; there was not a single living thing there. Just endless desert.
He continued exploring the endless desert. He was getting a headache as he looked around this deserted world.
After looking inside for a while, he was ready to stop his search when he saw a pillar of flame extending towards the sky. He quickly turned his vision towards that place, locking his spiritual sense on that place.
There was a young man sitting on the dune, watching the giant fox in front of him burn to ashes under the intense orange flames.
That fox fur had turned to ashes as she crawled around the sand screaming, but she didn't dare to attack the young man, while he was burning her to death.
"Awu… ahh…" the giant fox was rolling in the sand, screaming in pain, while the young man watched her suffer lazily.
He was getting bored with her screams, as he sat up, and with the flick of his fingers, the orange flames reached their peak, and a huge burst of flames took place. Chen Yi was just a little distance away from the fox as he watched her get burned.
When the burst of flame took place, he didn't feel any heat or threat from the hit. With celestial Qi protecting his vision, he was clearly able to see the thing happening within this storm of flames.
There, the fox was growing her fur back; instead of melting under the intense heat, her body was getting reformed. While that young man was watching her healing from a close distance.
It took less than a minute for that fox to turn back into a giant, gorgeous white fox, with a long, furry white tail. She had a tiny crescent moon mark on her forehead. Suddenly, that fox turned towards Chen Yi, giving him a shock.
He instantly felt like retreating, but before he pulled back his spiritual vision, the fox had already closed in, tracking him outside of the statue.
Chen Yi quickly shifted away from the statue, as he watched that white fox jumping out from that spear mark on the head of the statue.
"Finally, I am out of that junk yard." Chen Yi heard a human's voice, and while he felt like this voice was too masculine for the fox demon, he spotted the young man being carried out by the fox. Her tail was wrapped around his body as she placed him beside her on the snow-covered ground.
"Good job, I should have beaten you up much earlier." The Young Man said, his drifting into surroundings. Soon, he spotted Chen Yi standing a little further away from them.
"Who are you?" Chen Yi directly confronted this Young Man, as he was really curious about how this man got into that statue, and moreover, the heavenly demon was afraid of this white fox.
From the look of it, this man was the one in power, if that fox is listening to him. In his spiritual sea, the heavenly demon had shifted into the corners, hiding its existence as much as possible.
"Me, you can call me, the great emperor Li Chen." The Young Man replied after a little thought, but his eyes clearly wandered in the surroundings; there was nothing that seemed to catch his eye.
"What is this Place?" Li Chen asked.
"Northern mountain range," Chen Yi replied cautiously.
"Oh…" Li Chen accepted his answer, but it was clear he didn't know where the northern mountain range was.
