I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 380: Vengeful Spirit Golden Crow's Attack

Chapter 380: Vengeful Spirit Golden Crow’s Attack

As Shen Tian and the rest enjoyed themselves in the Thearch’s herb garden, the rest of the folks outside were not having as good a time.

The groups exploring the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb comprised the core members of the various sacred grounds across the five regions. There were many worldly and experienced pract.i.tioners amongst them.

As they ventured deeper into the tomb, an increasing number of them realized that this tomb was not as simple as it looked.

In particular, a number of unlucky teams came into contact with some special ancient seals after breaking into some secret rooms, unleashing terrible evils which had been sealed off for tens of thousands of years!

...

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

In the dim tunnels, a team from Middle Ground’s Da Li Sacred Ground was fleeing pathetically.

The Da Li Sacred Ground was not considered amongst the top of the 49 Sacred Grounds in Middle Ground, but they were also not the bottom few.

The Da Li Imperial Sutra was derived from the Imperial Sutra of Sun and was one of the most powerful fire-attribute sutras.

Every single one of the cultivators from the Da Li Sacred Ground was very adept at controlling fire!

Even so, the faces of these Heavenly Venerables and Elders from the Da Li Sacred Ground were filled with panic, as if being pursued by vicious spirits.

Well, it wasn’t “as if”.

A powerful vengeful spirit was indeed pursuing them. More than one of their members had already fallen at its hands, being incinerated into ashes.

A normal vicious spirit might be able to kill a Heavenly Venerable from the Da Li Sacred Ground. But to completely incinerate a powerful pract.i.tioner from the Da Li Sacred Ground with a fire-attribute attack, it was something unfathomable.

However, that was exactly what happened.

And this was because the creature pursuing those people was the legendary divine bird—Golden Crow!

Yes, it was the Golden Crow vengeful spirit that Shen Tian had encountered earlier.

The difference was these Heavenly Venerables were not as powerful as Shen Tian to be able to suppress that bird.

Inside the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb, the cultivation levels of all pract.i.tioners had been suppressed to below the Sage stage, so their battle prowess was also reduced.

Apart from Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerables like that freakish Azure Lotus, almost no one else had the battle prowess of a Sage pract.i.tioner.

Of course, we said “almost”.

One could not discount the fact that there might be other hidden Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerables, whose foundations were secretly already at the Sage stage and possessed an extremely deep cultivation level.

If those low-key powerful pract.i.tioners were pit against the Golden Crow vengeful spirit, the bird might be the one running away instead.

Unfortunately, there were no Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerables amongst the Da Li Sacred Ground cultivators.

They only had one choice left against this Golden Crow—flee!

Rumble!

Dark-red fireb.a.l.l.s shot toward them from behind, incinerating the Da Li Sacred Ground cultivators one by one.

It was not that they didn’t try joining forces to counterattack. The tunnel was very winding, and the Golden Crow vengeful spirit was difficult to target.

And with the tomb’s power as its source, the Golden Crow vengeful spirit would never get tired. It could pursue after its enemies forever.

Under such circ.u.mstances, there was only one way to survive—one had to run faster than their teammates.

By sacrificing your teammates, you could then have more time to escape.

With that thought in mind, the Da Li cultivators ran like crazy, regretting the fact that they didn’t put in more effort into learning escape techniques.

“Sacred Leader, Sacred Leader, what should we do!?”

“Go and find the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Ever since a long time ago, that fellow was already rumored to be an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable. It’s just that he had no actual battle accolades. So many years have pa.s.sed since, and no one knows just how powerful he is now. Even if his cultivation level is suppressed now, I bet that he will still be able to subdue this evil bird.”

“So you are saying that we will definitely be able to subdue this evil bird if we can find the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.”

“Yeap, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s cultivation level is on par with mine. If we join forces, this evil bird will be nothing to us!”

...

Rumble!

A black-red fireball shot from another tunnel.

The fireball flew at very high speed and possessed terrifying heat energy. It charged straight toward the Da Li Sacred Leader’s head.

“d.a.m.n, when did this evil bird sneak up in front of us!?”

The Da Li Sacred Leader’s mouth twitched wildly. He formed some hand seals. “Have a taste of my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Barrier!”

Roar!

Nine dazzling dragon-shaped flames formed in front of the Sacred Leader before merging into a ma.s.sive, fiery net.

The black-red fireball smashed into the net and spun wildly, incinerating all the surrounding fabrics of s.p.a.ce.

Zap!

The Da Li Sacred Leader’s flames were clearly not your usual fire either.

The two types of flames clashed and fought. But soon, the black-red fireball gained momentum and expanded further.

Meanwhile, the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Barrier was split open, revealing the Da Li Sacred Leader’s somewhat pallid face.

No use. Executing the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Barrier with his cultivation level suppressed was just too difficult when up against this Sage-level Golden Crow vengeful spirit.

More importantly, he realized something rather awkward.

He had been wrong. The bird behind them had not suddenly sneaked up to be in front of them.

The one in front of them now was an entirely different Golden Crow. A Golden Crow, which was even fiercer and bigger than the one behind.

Yes!

Two Golden Crow vengeful spirits were surrounding the unlucky team!

...

“d.a.m.n, why are there such things in this Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb?”

The Da Li Sacred Leader gazed despondently at the two Golden Crow vengeful spirits. He felt like he should have checked his almanac before stepping out today.

If he had done that, he might have known better than to come to this cursed place then.

Well, now he was being surrounded by two Golden Crow vengeful spirits.

He had been playing with fire for 1,000 years, but if he couldn’t escape this time, he would be burned to death by two big birds.

This was an absolute insult to the Da Li Sacred Leader!

Wait a minute!

The Da Li Sacred Leader’s eyes hardened. “There’s someone nearby!”

Just as they were about to come face to face with death, a holler echoed through a tunnel from the side.

“Oi! Evil beast! How dare you behave so wantonly when I am around!”

Boom!

The fabrics of s.p.a.ce erupted, and an old Taoist priest dressed in purple robes shot out.

The muscles on his skinny body rapidly expanded, and he soon became like a big, burly grandfather.

“Have a taste of my Supreme Ocean Staff: Hitting A Little Chick!”

Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The golden staff swung here and there, leaving multiple afterimages in the air, all shooting straight toward the Golden Crow on the left.

The staff completely disintegrated the Golden Crow flames. For a moment there, the Golden Crow vengeful spirit was utterly subdued.

The old Taoist priest smiled smugly. “Everyone, please don’t worry. With me around, this little vengeful spirit is nothing at all.

“As long as everyone gives me some protection fee and Spirit Qi to replenish my energy reserve, I will ensure your safety. Satisfaction guaranteed!”

This old Taoist might be arrogant and shameless, but he was indeed very powerful.

He was just at the Mighty Prowess realm but was able to subdue this Sage-level Golden Crow vengeful spirit completely.

This was an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable!

Woooooo~

It was a pity that the other Golden Crow didn’t stop its attack even after seeing its own brethren being subdued.

When the two Golden Crows joined forces, their battle prowess was greatly magnified. The two Golden Crows could go against four Sages together.

Suddenly... the old Taoist priest was fleeing from the flames.

He cried in pain as he ran.

“d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n d.a.m.n! You two old birds. Don’t you have any shame?

“You are already tens of thousands of years old but want to bully a young fellow like me. And now you are still ganging up against me?

“Watch where you are shooting your fireb.a.l.l.s at! I haven’t used this part of my body yet, don’t damage it! How will I woo fairies in the Celestial World in the future?

“Still doing that? It’s nearly cooked!

“Help! Junior Brother, where are you? Can you please come out and help me?

“I will return that Sage artifact I stole from you in the tomb!”

The Da Li Sacred Leader, “...”

Everyone else, “...”
