Chapter 1547 Hell Ghost Ancestors!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Beings from Hell who have come to the Great Chiliocosm?”

“These two Foxes are full of nonsense. I won't believe them anymore.”

“But seeing how afraid they are, these Hell Ghosts should be rather capable.”

Traveling Buddha and the others were discussing matters avidly. According to the very strange information the Ice and Fire Foxes had provided, they claimed that the Hell Ghosts were beings possessing frightening strength that had escaped from Hell and they did not belong to the mortal realm.

“Best to be a little cautious,” Tamu stated. “After all, they are a race that we have yet to encounter, and as the old Earth saying goes: a careful ship sails for ten thousand years.”

Xia Fan nodded, agreeing with what Tamu had said. Because of how great Xia Fei's influence on the Celestial Path was, anyone living there would pick up some Earth sayings, and while Xia Fan had not been to Earth, he had always yearned to visit his father's homeworld.

If the people on Earth were to learn that their aphorisms had become the trendiest terms of the Celestial Path, or found out that dishes like a steamboat, hamburgers, and vermicelli rolls were the most popular delicacies in the Great Chiliocosm, sought after by plenty of the wealthy and power people there, they would surely have been very excited to learn how great an influence the small planet exerted across the Great Chiliocosm!

“No one knows which universe Earth belongs to. That is a secret kept by the Skywings,” Bright Pearl explained. “The Skywings have too many enemies, so if anyone were to learn where Earth was, a horde of enemies would surely rush over there for revenge.”

——

A warship fitted with a shockwave engine could reach unimaginable speeds. In three days, the Skydome had crossed more than half of this universe, arriving at the rumored territory of the Hell Ghosts.

The scenery in the Desolated Valley Universe was uninspiring. To call it a barren land would be a compliment, since every planet found across this universe was part of a sea of fire and brimstone, where animals and plants had all completely disappeared. If there was truly a place across the universe that could be considered Hell, it should be this place!

The Hell Ghosts lived on a large planet, a continent in the center of it that was filled with black rocks, surrounded by a humongous sea of lava. Countless volcanoes were actively erupting, causing copious amounts of magma to flow like rivers before ultimately ending up in the sea. There were also volcanoes underneath that sea of lava, preventing the magma from cooling down, so waves of lava were roiling all year round.

*Boom*

When the turbulent waves crashed ashore, the tide of lava would surge for dozens of meters. The red hot lava was so hot that any human would immediately burn up and melt if any of it splashed on them.

“Could there be life in such a hellhole?!” Traveling Buddha frowned. He found this inconceivable, commenting in annoyance, “Bring those two damned Foxes down here. Watch me kill them if they dare lie to yours truly!”

Traveling Buddha felt like he had been dropped into a furnace, and everyone was extremely uncomfortable being here. This was especially true for Pearl; the Frostseal Megadragon was not afraid of the cold, but very afraid of heat. At the moment her mouth was hanging ajar, sticking out her little tongue with flushed cheeks. She was panting heavily, looking so weak that it seemed like she was being roasted alive.

Xia Fan was also quite skeptical, He believed it was possible for there to be beings that could withstand the temperature that this sea of lava was giving off. There were all sorts of wonders found in existence, so being unafraid of heat was not impossible. But to say that there were beings that lived here in such an inhospitable environment all year round? Xia Fan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. Even ghosts should not be willing to live in such a place!

There were no signs of battle in the surrounding space. Metal scraps left from where spaceships fell or spatial ripples from heavy artillery bombardment were not detected either, which probably meant that the chaotic timeline had placed Xia Fan and everyone in the past, to a time before Xia Geng and the Skywings had yet to arrive.

*Boom*

While everyone was having their doubts and preparing to leave, an explosion was heard coming from the center of this sea of lava. This sound was frighteningly loud, and the sea of lava seemed to abruptly seethe as a huge wave surged high up and came rolling in.

To everyone's surprise, two beings stood atop this huge wave. They were completely red all over, with a simmering white smoke emitting from their bodies. Though they were made of lava, everyone could make out their facial features distinctly. They could tell the two were male and female respectively.

Lava people?

Hell Ghosts?!

Xia Fan and everyone else was stunned, shocked by the race's unique way of living. It seemed like the two Foxes had not lied. There was indeed life amidst all this lava, but there were not as much as they described: just two people.

“Human, who are you? How did you find this place?” one of the Hell Ghosts asked warily.

Xia Fan showed them his usual bright smile and very courteously said, “Friend, no need to be nervous. We came here to look for Skywings, and I was hoping to learn if either of you had seen them?”

The Hell Ghost was startled. While they did not appear to show any killing intent and appeared placid, they were actually secretly communicating in very low voices.

“What are Skywings?”

“I haven't heard of that before. We've only just arrived, yet they located us so fast? Isn't that strange? How could there be such a coincidental thing in this world?”

“So you mean to say that they are our enemies?”

“They must be! Let's seize them first, so they can't run off, then wipe them all out afterwards!”

It was really quite the coincidence. The Cosmic Gate had actually brought Xia Fan and the others to the past due to the chaotic timeline effect. In this age, the so-called Hell Ghost race had not yet come to be. The two ancestors of the race had just moved to the Desolated Valley Universe, and Xia Fan had arrived after them, making the two of them extremely wary.

“Ah, so you are all here looking for Skywing. He was here the other day.”

“Oh yes, Skywing was very kind, and we really liked him a lot.”

The two lava people were smiling as they said this, but Xia Fan and the others were dumbfounded the moment the two opened their mouths. Firstly, the Skywings was not just one person, they were a clan.

Also, the Skywings were not at all kind. They were ferocious!

The Hell Ghosts maintained their fake smiles as they rapidly approached. What they did not know was that the humans were already deeply suspicious of them, and were all on high alert.

“Right now!”

“Kill them!”

The two Hell Ghosts shouted the moment they were close. They revealed their savagery as killing intent exploded forth from them, charging toward Xia Fan and others with great hostility.

*Rumble*

The Hell Ghosts possessed the ability to control lava, and made the rolling lava instantly turn into a tsunami wave well over a hundred meters in height. It came crashing toward Xia Fan's group in an attempt to bury them alive.

*Roar*

Bright Pearl was already prepared for this assault and immediately changed her form. She was now a Frostseal Megadragon, her snowy white body stunning to behold, and the roar she let loose pierced the heavens, shocking the Hell Ghosts greatly!

*Fwoosh*

A white mist spat out from Bright Pearl's mouth. Her Absolute Zero Frost Breath collided with the lava, which created an incredible thermal reaction. When two things of such opposing temperatures collided, it caused the lava to instantly solidify into rock and explode!

Bits of rock and magma shattered and rained down from above.

Traveling Buddha had covered himself with a golden glow and leapt right into the rumbling lava. He stood on the surface of the magma and charged toward the enemy. With his indestructible body, Traveling Buddha was completely unafraid of any attacks.

Tamu opened his arms wide and unleashed his guardian God of Light. It leapt into the air almost instantly and followed Traveling Buddha.

After Bright Pearl had successfully countered the enemy's attack, not only did she not stop breathing, she instead intensified it even more. Like a gigantic white pillar, she swept it across and chased after their enemies. The female Hell Ghost did not manage to evade this in time, and her feet were caught in the last sweep. Her limbs froze instantly, turning into rock just like the sea of lava, rendering her immediately immobile.

“You dare attack yours truly? You two must be tired of leaving, huh!?”

They were too close, so Traveling Buddha was able to hurry over and deliver a punch without any delay!

*Boom!*

Everyone watched as the female Hell Ghost's body exploded the moment Traveling Buddha's fist connected with her head, killing her with a single punch.

“They shattered them! They beat the Hell Ghosts until they exploded!”

“These people are very strong!”

The two Foxes that were still held captive watched the fight through a small porthole. The Hell Ghosts were formidable, sheathing themselves in an intense fiery glow like they were some lava monsters, yet Traveling Buddha had already blown one up with a punch when the battle had only just begun? Such an outcome was simply inconceivable!

Traveling Buddha, Tamu, and Pearl; the special abilities the three possessed were amazing in their own ways, so when they worked together, the destructive power alone could give anyone pause. After killing the female Hell Ghost, Traveling Buddha and the God of Light began to deal with the male Hell Ghost.

The moment the male Hell Ghost saw how quickly the tables had turned, he tried diving into the sea of lava. But the God of Light and Traveling Buddha were not afraid of the heat, so they disappeared into the lava along with that male Hell Ghost. Everyone saw the turbulent lava turn into a large whirlpool, as if the three of them were engaged in a fierce battle amid the burning lava.

*Gulp*

The two Foxes swallowed at the same time, absolutely dumbfounded. That lava measured well over a thousand degrees, yet Traveling Buddha and that God of Light guardian had actually dove right into it?

A creeping fear began to build in their eyes as they looked on, bewildered. This was not just an issue of just how powerful their special abilities were, but more about ferocious the humans were. No matter how they looked at it, Traveling Buddha appeared to be this sloppy person, yet the moment he was in a fight, he did not hesitate to plunge into the boiling lava. Just what kind of fearless mentality did this person have!?

“Truly, they live up to the Skywing reputation…”

“I think it's best if we be a bit more honest. We've been very lucky to have survived this long…”

The two Foxes exchanged words. They had finally realized that Xia Fan was already being extra merciful by not killing either of them, since the strength this team possessed was enough to kill them a hundred times over!

In no time at all, Traveling Buddha and the God of Light returned back to land with that Hell Ghost captured. They threw him violently to the ground, while Pearl spat her frost breath at him. Having that Absolute Zero Frost Breath envelope the body of the Hell Ghost was an absolutely unbearable experience.

Xia Fan told everyone his conclusions, which gave everyone an epiphany. It turned out that they had come to this ancient age, the Hell Ghosts had not come to be yet, which was why they had naturally not seen Xia Geng or his fellow comrades.

*Clank*

Disruptor handcuffs that could restrict special abilities were clasped onto the Hell Ghost's wrists. Xia Fan was startled in the next moment, because the handcuffs were actually useless against the Hell Ghost, as his body was still constantly burning.

“What's going on? Are disruptor cuffs actually useless on him?”

“That's strange. These cuffs are capable of sealing one's seventh brain region, and that should very swiftly have their special ability contained,” Traveling Buddha and Tamu gasped in disbelief.

“Hahahaha!” The male Hell Ghost burst into laughter, retorting loudly, “Seventh brain region? I don't have that! You clueless humans have absolutely no idea who I am, or where I'm from!”

Traveling Buddha stroked his chin, “You're not really something that came from Hell, are you?”

“Hell? You would call the place I come from, Hell?”

“Ignorant humans, there will come a day where you will regret and pay the ultimate price!” the Hell Ghost bellowed, his face savage and full of spite.

Xia Fan chuckled, “No idea if I will regret this in the future or not, but I do know you'll surely feel regret today!

“Bright Pearl, freeze him up!”

Several minutes later, the body of the Hell Ghost was no longer aflame. He was nothing more than a lump of ice being carried aboard the Skydome and thrown into a special room. Xia Fan planned to take him back to the Waystation and hand him over to Cardiff, using his mental interrogation torture ability to forcibly extract his memory and find out just where exactly the strange being had come from.
