Chapter 234: Floating Islands

Wei Huo and the others rushed into the black tunnel. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. An endless aura of death rushed into the tunnel and merged with the walls of the tunnel. The walls kept spinning.

Wei Huo and the others continued moving forward due to inertia. Soon, they saw a glimmer of light ahead. The further they went, the brighter the light ahead was. A few seconds later, they saw the scene outside the tunnel.

There was a vast blue sky with white clouds. Then, a floating island floated past. Wei Huo and the others rushed out of the tunnel and arrived at the eighth level.

They stood in the air and looked at the countless floating islands around them. The floating islands were shaped like cones and looked like mountains that had collapsed.

Boom! A floating island brushed past a white cloud. The strong wind blew the white cloud into pieces.

The golden armor was shocked. “Is this the Immortal Realm?” it asked.

Wei Huo led his team forward and descended slowly. They eventually landed on a floating island the size of a football field. The top of the floating island was not flat. There were small mountains, and green gra.s.s was growing all over it. The green gra.s.s swayed in the wind in the distance.

Boom! Two floating islands collided. They were two medium-sized floating islands. For some reason, they had collided with each other. Fortunately, the impact was not strong. After they collided, they only shattered into a few pieces and separated, moving in the opposite direction.

The broken pieces did not disperse. Some of them flew toward Wei Huo and were eventually caught by him.

The fragments were flowing along with the Rule Power. Wei Huo took a closer look at it. The Rule Power on them was the Flying Rule, which could also be called ‘Rule: Weight Loss’.

Wei Huo threw the fragments, which flew out slowly. A gust of wind blew over, and the fragments changed direction and flew into the distance.

The golden armor took a deep breath, although it did not have a nose or a mouth. Then, it said, “The spiritual energy here is really dense!”

They had encountered this kind of spiritual energy on the seventh level, but there had been too little of it. They had absorbed and collected it all. However, there was an endless amount of spiritual energy on the eighth level. When a gust of wind blew over, the spiritual energy would rush over and make one feel refreshed.

Wei Huo said, “Cultivating in such a place will definitely be easier.”

The golden armor said, “In such a place, wild chickens can turn into Phoenixes and azure snakes into True Dragons.”

As soon as the golden armor said that, a dragon’s roar came from afar. The few of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge green dragon fly past the white clouds and the floating island and into the sky.

The golden armor was shocked. “There’s really a True Dragon!?”

Wei Huo was surprised. This was the first time he had seen a living dragon. However, based on its aura, this dragon was not very strong. It was at most at the Epic stage.

Wei Huo still remembered System Number Two saying that a True Dragon’s strength was unfathomable. It was at least at the Mythical stage. Although the dragon in front of him was huge, it was probably not a True Dragon.

Wei Huo took a closer look and realized that each of the dragon’s claws was holding a golden pearl. It seemed like the pearl gave the dragon some buoyancy, allowing it to fly freely.

“It shouldn’t be a True Dragon. It might just be a descendant of a True Dragon,” Wei Huo said.

An Epic-ranked creature could not fly freely. Without the four golden beads in its claws, it would not have been able to fly freely.

Wei Huo led the group and flew toward the dragon. They were very fast, so they caught up to it in the blink of an eye. However, the dragon ignored them and continued flying around.

The golden armor was surprised. It said, “This dragon’s mental state is very weird!”

Wei Huo could feel that the dragon was in a weird state. It seemed overjoyed and happy as it flew around in satisfaction.

This situation reminded Wei Huo of the time before the time halt when people had used drugs. Although Wei Huo had never met anyone who used drugs, he had seen some films and television series with information on the Internet.

The golden armor was confused as it asked, “Is it having a drug overdose? I heard that people who eat poisonous shrooms act like this. They see small humans running around.”

Wei Huo: “…”

No one would believe that an Epic-ranked creature had been poisoned after eating a mushroom, right?

Wei Huo and the others asked the dragon about the situation. However, the dragon was still excited and kept emitting brain waves. If they had translated, the conversation would have gone as follows:

“I’m happy. Are you guys happy?”

“How free! How happy!”

Wei Huo frowned and extended his claws to grab the dragon’s head. He had seen the dragon wave its tail, but how could it be Wei Huo’s match? Before its tail could reach him, its head was grabbed by Wei Huo’s domain hand.

However, the dragon still had no intention of running away. It turned its head around and tried to bite Wei Huo, but Wei Huo threw a punch and sent two dragon fangs flying.

“We just want to ask about the situation in this small world. We don’t want to hurt you. We’ll let you go after you tell us about that.”

To be honest, Wei Huo was a little confused. The dragon was only at the Epic stage, but it did not panic when it encountered the three Legendary creatures. It did not plan to escape and had attacked them instead.

Was it fearless, or was it out of its mind?

After hearing Wei Huo’s words, the green dragon did not give in. Instead, it said, “Life is what I want, and so is happiness. The two cannot be combined. I’ll sacrifice my life to obtain happiness!”

After saying that, the green dragon waved its tail again.

At that moment, Wei Huo and the others understood that the dragon was not normal. It had even modified the ancient sages’ poems.

Wei Huo did not want to kill it, but the green dragon kept pressing on. It even shouted, “Just be happy!”

Wei Huo flew forward and enveloped the dragon with his domain. The powerful force shattered the four golden beads in the dragon’s claws.

As soon as the pearls shattered, the dragon turned into a green python. Apart from its head and crown, all its horns, claws, and beard disappeared.

The giant green python shouted in shock, “Return my Dragon Pearl!”

However, after it roared, it realized that three Legendary creatures were standing in front of it. It was terrified.

“L… Legendary?”

Wei Huo asked, “What’s going on in this world? What happened to you?”

The giant green python did not dare be careless. The happiness in its heart gradually disappeared and was replaced by fear. It then said, “I don’t know what happened either. A long time ago, I survived the Lightning Tribulation and turned into a dragon. I then came here. As for this world, we call it the Paradise Immortal Realm.”

The eighth level’s small world was also known as Paradise Immortal Realm. Wei Huo and the others understood why the Epic-ranked python was so happy.

Wei Huo continued asking about the world. The python said, “There’s a floating continent about 300 kilometers away from here. I can take you there. Please let me go!”

300 kilometers was not a long distance indeed. The python was up to something. It had lost the Dragon Pearl and could not fly, so it hoped that Wei Huo and the others could take it to that continent.
