HUM! HAA! HUUM! HAAA! HUUM! HAAA!!
Within what was once a beautiful field of grass and trees laid a massive golden furred creature amongst its remnants. Its snore was so loud and resounded throughout an entire area of 500 meters. Suddenly, it scratched its belly and glanced towards the entrance of cavern through the corner of its eyes. A violent an cunning gleam flickered brightly at the core of its eyes.
"GASP!"
Swallowing a breath of fresh air, Feng Yu felt surprised at the Golden Furred Ape King's stubbornness. He sighed at the bottom of his heart while thinking.
"It seems that this Damn Ape won't be giving up that easily, sigh, look at it acting as if it is the protector of the fallen cave. I have no choice. I have to find another way out of here."
He looked at the broken sword 'Black Lightning ' on the ground beside him and picked it up gently cleaning it for a while he then placed it in his storage ring.
Feng Yu looked around for a bit then focused his gaze towards the depths of the cavern, vaguely, a warm light could be noticed at about 200 meters downwards. It could be seen at first glance that this was a bottomless cavern, after walking for a short while a feeling of heat could be felt as the temperature began to rise for every step talking further downwards.
This cavern was different from normal ones while traveling further underground Feng Yu was beginning to notice some interesting things. There were ancient markings on the walls arranged uniquely. Faintly, both the walls and floor looked as if it was sliced into by sharp weapons while specific areas were made into small craters by heavy blunt objects. These signs continued to trail all the way down to the very bottom of this cave.
"It seems as if there was a battle here, but it happened quite a long time ago." Feng Yu said while noticing how mosses and dirt have taken up back most of the gorges as well as how faded the sword marking were. He clenched his fist tightly and made a blow towards the wall with seventy percent of his strength.
BANNGG!!!
The wall remained unharmed due to its incredible durability, it seems as though this type of cavern wall was imbued with some foreign source of strength that originated from the odd markings arranged on its surface.
Feng Yu was shocked by the power of the cavern walls "What type of augmented rune is this? I've never seen anything like this before, to think that even this amount of strength cannot break it. Could it be that those who fought here before are people of far greater power than I currently wield? I wonder, who could have been the one to have made such a rune?"
Thinking for a bit, he decided to no longer pay attention to the strange runes as he had not too long ago got into contact with this world, it was natural that he wouldn't know many of the strange things. After traveling for a depth of 1000 meters, he arrived at the source of the warm light he saw from the previous distance.
A blast of heat quickly surged across his face, casting his red hair backward and his clothing which began to make 'Flap' 'Flap' noises due to the sudden heat wave.
"Hmm, the temperature here isn't too bad." Feng Yu said while feeling slightly comfortable.
If it were anyone else who came to this distance in the face of such a heatwave, they would have either burnt to a crisp or suffered severe burn injuries. After all, the temperature here was no lower than 900 Degrees. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
At the front of Feng Yu was massive space of about 2 kilometers, within which was an endless amount of lava at boiling high temperatures. There was a solid platform about 500 meters wide at the center of the of lava, attached to it was a rocky pathway that was connected the area where Feng Yu was currently standing.
Observing the region closely an assortment of pillars could be seen arrayed around the entire platform, standing proudly at the central position was an ancient tombstone that seemed to have stood there from antiquity times. Across its surface was the very same rune markings seen on the walls previously, that led all the way from the beginning of the path traveling down the to depths of the cavern. The only difference being that these markings were far more complex and profound.
"Wow! Who constructed such a thing I wonder, could this entire cavern be a sort of tomb...?" Feng Yu was curious and surprised at the new structures.
After observing the surroundings for a while and seeing nothing out of the ordinary and dangerous Feng Yu started making his way towards the ancient looking tombstone at the center of the pillars.
Quickly, he arrived within its vicinity looking towards the ground he saw a bunch of skeletons, each with their chest armors and bones destroyed in the same violent method, a few weapons were also left on the floor beside the frames.
Feng Yu reached his hand out and picked up one of the weapons, but before he could even give it a good swing, it decayed into dust.
Crumble!
"It seems that these guys have been dead for many many years...." Feng Yu said softly while looking at the dust flowing down from his hands.
"I wonder what or who killed them?" Feng Yu began to ponder, he then moved his sight from the skeletons and stared at the ancient tombstone, there a corpse of a man that sat in lotus position on top of an old throne created bellow tombstone. It was dressed in old torn up robes but judging from its quality it seemed to be made of a type of rare creature, the corpse held two scabbards in its hands each giving off an exceptional aura, and they also had ancient carvings making both of them feel as if they came from ancient times.
"EH? A corpse, but how could its body be preserved to such a state. If my inference is correct, this body should have been here around for an even longer period than bot these two dead skeletons. Hmmm, what interesting looking scabbards could they be a Heavenly Artifacts?" Seeing the items before him, Feng Yu felt excited, after scanning them carefully with his soul strength he did not sense any signs of danger. Thus, he reached his hand out to try and take the two scabbards, but soon he was hindered by an unknown force.
RUMBLE!!!!!!
PUUUUUIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, the platform began to shake in an unsettling manner as pillars that were surrounding the tomb began to shine with bright golden light.
"It's not good! What's going on? Did I trigger some sort of trap?" before Feng Yu could react, all the lights connected forming a circular formation that beamed down a pillar which instantly surrounded Feng Yu. The corpse that had the two scabbards suddenly seemed to have been granted a breath of life.
Whooosshhh!!!!!!!!!
A stream of energy condensed around its form, and instantly it transformed the ancient corpse into a figure of an ordinary looking man, he was wearing a grand robe and had an imperial crown on his head. His hair was silver and looking into his eyes was a scene that seemed to have been filled with the ancient vicissitudes of time.
"Who...?" the corpse said.
"Who is it... that has awakened me!" it said once more.
A voice that was filled with weariness and dignity shock the carven and reached to depths of Feng Yu's soul.
Shocked by too many things happening all at once Feng Yu could only stare blankly at the man that appeared in front of him.
Soon, however, the figure took notice and stared at Feng Yu carefully observing him.
Being started at by ancient being Feng Yu who was in a daze suddenly regained his wits, he felt as if all the secrets hidden within him was exposed, he decided to greet the senior.
"Young... Younger Generation Feng Yu greets the Ancient One!" Feng Yu's voice echoed throughout the silent space. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com
"Ancient One... HAHAHAHA! Ancient One, Indeed..." Suddenly a look of melancholy could be seen on the face of the figure, however, it was soon replaced by a severe and solemn expression.
"Little One, I am called by one name and one name only throughout this endless heaven and earth..."
Seeing that the figure had stopped inspecting him, Feng Yu felt better at heart he curiously listened to the words that he was saying.
"They called Me Tydol, Tydol of the Phantasmal Swords!"
