Chapter 848: Chapter 476: With the God of Zhong Mountain, Born Holding a Candle (Part 2)

The feeling seemed not to rush forth furiously, galloping with divine might, but rather it was trapped in some desperate situation, about to be swallowed by the swamp in fear and panic.

This emotion is clearly off!

Boom boom!

Under the collapsed statue of the King of Reincarnation, a pitch-black hole unexpectedly appeared. From within the hole, low roars echoed, the terrifying roars filled every corner of the Divine Temple, an unprecedented pressure continuously coalescing from the terrifying presence.

“No, this remnant soul is not the culprit, instead, it is merely a scapegoat, locked in this statue as an energy source to suppress the terrible existence beneath the temple, a pitiful wretch…”

“It seems I’m increasingly close to the truth? Could it be that the reason for establishing this Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Temple here is to suppress the horrific thing beneath it?!”

Different thoughts surged out from Zheng Yi’s mind in an instant, he felt as if he had grasped some sort of insight, though it was not entirely clear.

His eyes were fixed firmly on that black hole continuously emitting cold energy, the flicker of lights outside unable to disperse the darkness inside.

As if in a deep, dark cave, so-called brightness is utterly ineffective.

Clatter!

Accompanied by the gradual sounding of low-growing roars towards the pitch-black entrance, the crisp sound of dragging chains further instilled an unprecedented sense of oppression.

“What exactly is being suppressed?!”

The harsh sound of friction echoed in his ears, the cold sound of chains like a storm quickly spread to every corner of the temple, the cold energy continued to coalesce as if a terrifying beast suppressed below was about to re-emerge.

A giant black snake head peeked out from the black hole, its massive head like a small upright mountain, its long snake tongue emitted a chilling breath, casting a layer of cold atmosphere on the surrounding air.

The most shocking thing to Zheng Yi was that between the brows of that massive black snake head, grew a third eye, only it was horizontally placed, tightly closed, while at the tip of the snake tongue stood a burning white candle.

The flame atop the candle not only did not extinguish but instead flickered with the snake tongue’s movement, maintaining a stable burning state.

Then it slowly opened its eyes, within the giant vertical pupils, reflected an icy cold intent, this terrifying ancient giant beast filled with dreadful resentful energy.

“North of the Akshui, there exists a god with a human face and snake body, and red skin, eyes straightforward, its dusk is dark, its sight is bright, does not eat, does not sleep, does not rest, approached by wind and rain. It is Yin Jiuzhu, known as Candle Dragon.”

“Yin Jiuzhu?!”

Zheng Yi was shocked beyond measure, the appearance of this beast revealing its true body was remarkably distinct, whether it was the giant snake head, or the tightly closed, horizontally placed third eye, especially the candle burning atop the snake tongue, unmistakably indicating its identity.

A terrifying divine beast that only exists in ancient records, contemporaneous with many ancient gods and demons.

Yin Jiuzhu, that is, Candle Dragon, the legendary God of Zhong Mountain, a creature unclear whether it is a snake or a dragon.

This is the True Spirit, and indeed the True Spirit controlling the Laws of Time in legends!

The annotation in “Poetry Containing Divine Mist”: “Heaven is insufficiently northwest, no Yin and Yang messages exist, hence a dragon carries fire essence illuminating the Celestial Gate.”

Herein, the so-called “fire essence” refers to the Candle Dragon.

Born while carrying the candle!

This is the most notable trait of Yin Jiuzhu, moreover, aside from its enormous size, its uniqueness lies in its naturally containing some sort of special Law of Time, possessing a terrifying ability.

In legend, its third eye cannot be directly looked at; carrying a Divine Candle in its mouth, when the third eye opens, heaven and earth shine brightly, and when it closes, the world plunges into darkness.

“It’s starting!”

When Zheng Yi noticed the slight tremor of Yin Jiuzhu’s third eye between its brows, terrifying divine power roared out, surrounding him completely, filling him with an unsettling feeling the next moment.

In an instant, Candle Dragon opened its third eye, illuminating the Divine Temple suddenly, a strong radiance bathed the temple, brilliant sunlight piercing through the endless darkness, directly showering down an indescribable dazzling light.

Golden rays reflected off the black scales, mirrored on the temple walls.

And Zheng Yi finally saw clearly, seeing Yin Jiuzhu’s massive body crawling out of the dark hole wrapped in thick black chains.

A fragile force still maintained the chains.

“Sure enough, the establishment of this Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Temple was likely to suppress this Yin Jiuzhu!”

The previously flowing doubts finally coalesced into a clear conclusion.

Especially thinking back to all he had experienced before, Zheng Yi became even more certain of his current speculation regarding the true meaning of the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Temple.

But what person had such grandeur, imprisoning a remnant soul of an incomparably powerful Great Power, embedding it within the statue of the Reincarnation Saint King, suppressing Yin Jiuzhu, preventing its emergence.

Moreover, Zheng Yi keenly perceived that those long black chains binding Yin Jiuzhu seemed to be the legendary Dragon-Binding Lock, seemingly ordinary, yet these chains fully suppressed Candle Dragon’s innate laws, preventing its time divine techniques from being exercised.

This dignified Time Element True Spirit, legendary God of Zhong Mountain, like a beast completely stripped of its intelligence, suppressed here for countless millennia, otherwise ordinary metal chains could not possibly confine it.

Crack crack!

The crisp sound of breaking accompanies Yin Jiuzhu shaking its massive body, continuously rupturing the chains.

With the suppression of the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Temple gone, the force formed by the remnant soul within the statue of the King of Reincarnation lost, without the terrifying array’s support, the previously maintained power became incredibly fragile, unable to withstand the terrible power erupting from Yin Jiuzhu.

Swoosh!

Heaven and earth transformed yet again, when Yin Jiuzhu’s third eye closed once more, the divine candle’s flame it carried barely trembled, abruptly plunging the entire temple into boundless darkness.

In an instant, the light overhead completely vanished, enveloping the space once more in endless darkness.

In the dim temple, only the candle held by Yin Jiuzhu in its mouth burned, emitting faint glimmers, unable to dispel the surrounding darkness.

“One eye for light, one for darkness?! Yin Jiuzhu truly is a divine beast wielding certain time rules.”

Witnessing the swift alterations of sun and moon by Yin Jiuzhu, the change of time, the brief alternation between light and darkness, the awe it wrought could only be comprehended by those witnessing firsthand. It’s an incredibly rare power system for great human cultivators.

Even Zheng Yi was deeply startled when witnessing this scene.

Boom boom!

Yin Jiuzhu thrashed its enormous body, with terrifying power, continuously destroying the chains binding its form, trying to completely break free from the fate of suppression, struggling to escape.

In truth, at this stage, Yin Jiuzhu should thank Zheng Yi, were it not for his accidental intrusion into the Land of Reincarnation, unlocking the imprisoned remnant soul within the Reincarnation Saint King, disrupting the entire arrangement, awakening the slumbering Yin Jiuzhu, it wouldn’t have been able to revive from the sleep.

Much less break free from the Reincarnation Saint King statue and the Dragon-Binding Lock, struggling to climb out from the Earth Abyss.

However, when its massive vertical pupils noticed Zheng Yi, it shook its terrifying head, cold snake jaws opening wide like an endless abyss, suddenly devouring large bites, as if a black hole had opened, a powerful suction force attempting to draw Zheng Yi into it.
