Abyss Walker

Chapter 26 The Setting Sun Holds No Hatred

This enormous dragon was so large that it blotted out the sky, resembling a moving mountain.

Yun Muhan opened his blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his body, sending chills down one's spine.

In the blink of an eye, the giant dragon pounced on the fledgling with lightning speed.

It moved with such speed that it was like lightning streaking across the night sky, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

Just as the two were about to collide, the dragon suddenly stretched out its two thick and powerful front claws and fiercely grabbed at the fledgling.

The fledgling had no time to react before it was struck by this powerful force, its body instantly torn in two.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding sky and earth red.

"Damn dragon hatchling! It was so close."

Yun Muhan reverted to human form, looked down at the dragon's body that had been torn in two, and said softly, "Fortunately, there was very little spiritual energy left in this dragon's body, otherwise, in my current state, I would definitely be in a tough battle."

"The fledgling dragon should not be here at all. Senior, please show yourself."

A figure landed, dressed in blue and wearing a veil. It was none other than the woman from the Snow Mountain Ice Palace.

"Senior, why are you doing this to yourself? You want to send me away, but you also want to follow me." Yun Muhan spoke first.

"You're the Ancestral Dragon? As far as I know, there's no Ancestral Dragon on this continent. Are you from another continent? Or perhaps from another world?" the woman asked suspiciously.

"This junior is nothing more than an insignificant wild dragon," Yun Muhan retorted.

"Oh! A wild ancestral dragon? Do you even believe that yourself? You don't need to be afraid of me. If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already."

"Hehe, Senior won't even tell me where Xi Ling is. What is your purpose in following me here? Just speak frankly!" Yun Muhan replied.

"Stop calling me 'senior' all the time. I'm not that much older than you; on the contrary, you're probably much older than me," the woman said angrily.

"Senior! I'm only a quarter of sixty years old this year, while you're already fifty!"

(By the way, here's a little tidbit: a Jiazi (甲子) is equal to sixty years.)

"Impossible! Your bone age clearly indicates you're over fifty!" the woman exclaimed, utterly bewildered.

"Senior, it is true that I have been in dragon form for fifty years, but I have only been cultivating human form for fifteen years."

"As for the dragon form, it's merely in a dormant state. Senior, please speak frankly about your purpose."

Yun Muhan: Trying to trick me? I've confirmed it over the past fifteen years, but unfortunately, I can't directly confirm her identity through her description.

“Interesting. You’re definitely more than you seem. We’ll meet again.”

Before she finished speaking, the woman vanished instantly, leaving only a snowflake behind where she had just been.

"You still haven't told me... never mind." Yun Muhan continued to bury his head and try to freeze the long river.

————A Woman's Memories————

"Completely annihilate my little friend!"

"Young friend Blood Shadow wins!"

It happened in an instant.

"The decisive battle is about to begin. Both sides are requested to quickly adjust their state."

"This 'Complete Annihilation' has won seven games in a row. Can he win the next decisive battle against Blood Shadow?"

"That Blood Shadow won six matches in a row at the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm, it's unbelievable! It's a pity he faced a complete annihilation!"

"That's not necessarily true. Although this Wanmie is at the mid-stage of the Divine Soul realm, without any inheritance, he can only be considered a firefly."

"You think someone in the early stage of the Divine Soul realm can defeat someone in the middle stage? That's laughable."

"Silence! No noise is allowed in the competition area!"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent instantly, not for any other reason than that the one who spoke these words was a divine official at the God-Emperor level.

"You two, there can only be one winner in the end. It's time to settle the score." The priest raised his hand, and Wanmie and Xueying were instantly teleported to the arena.

Wanmie spoke first, saying, "The gap between us is too great, so I won't bully you. I'll suppress my strength to the early stage of the Divine Soul realm as well."

Blood Shadow chuckled: "Heh, no need! The only victor can be me."

"Please both sides prepare yourselves. This contest concerns the future of the divine realm. Please refrain from any meaningless actions."

"Let's begin! I bet I'll win this one." Blood Shadow looked at Wan Mie, who was still suppressing his cultivation level, and said contemptuously.

I also think you'll win, good luck!

"The competition begins!"

Blood Shadow instantly unleashed fire-type spiritual power, continuously bombarding the location of Complete Annihilation.

Wanmie simply raised his hand, and his water-based spiritual power fiercely suppressed Xueying's fire-based power.

"You had no chance of winning from the start, so just admit defeat."

"ridiculous."

In Blood Shadow's hands, the output of fire-type spiritual power continued to increase, attempting to completely evaporate and annihilate the water element.

"She was enraged by Wan Mi's words right at the start of the game; she was destined to lose."

"What's going on with this Blood Shadow? I bet on her to win! There's something fishy going on, there must be something fishy going on."

"This complete annihilation has been hiding all along. Blood Shadow is being countered, so they're doomed to lose."

"Blood Shadow, you should just admit defeat. At least your fate won't be too ugly now," Wanmie said with a relaxed expression.

"I will never admit defeat! The championship will definitely be mine!" Blood Shadow said, barely managing to hold on despite his spiritual energy being constantly depleted.

The exchange of blows between the two did not last long.

Then a voice was heard coming from afar.
