Chapter 817

The level nine flood dragon had gone berserk, and the barbarians were in imminent danger. The exit tunnel appeared at the right time, and all the barbarians rushed towards it.

This was a desperate attempt to escape. Along the way, the barbarians lost their lives under the flood dragon's sharp claws. However, they did not care. As long as they were still alive, as long as they had one breath left, they had to get out.

As long as they could get out, they would never come back. Moreover, they had to spread the news so that no one from the barbarian world would ever come back again.

The rumor about the flood dragon was just a lie. In just a few dozen meters, almost half of the barbarians had fallen.

"Swoosh!"

However, before they could escape, a figure that was even faster than them rushed into the tunnel. In a flash of light, the figure had already disappeared.

The first to escape was the outsider Wu Yu.

From the current situation, Chen Meng had undoubtedly kicked an iron board. He was afraid that after Zi Chen killed Chen Meng, he would come to kill him. After all, there was always hostility between the outsiders. Therefore, he immediately escaped when the tunnel appeared.

As for the so-called green light egg, Wu Yu did not even dream of getting it. The battle power that Zi Chen had displayed had completely frightened him. He did not even have the slightest intention to fight for it.

"Wu Yu, just you wait. I will kill you."

Just before Wu Yu disappeared, Chen Meng let out a thunderous roar. Immediately after, he coughed out a mouthful of blood essence. His entire body emitted a resplendent blood-red light. Chen Meng, who was emitting a blood-red light, moved at an extremely fast speed, dodging Zi Chen's sure-kill attack in an instant.

Chen Meng's sudden change was completely out of Zi Chen's expectation. By the time Zi Chen reacted and chased after him, Chen Meng had already reached the entrance of the tunnel and disappeared in a flash.

However, wherever Chen Meng passed by, there was a large amount of blood mist left in the air. He must have used some kind of secret technique.

In the blink of an eye, there were no traces of humans left. There were only a few flood dragons that had lost their target. These flood dragons seemed to be extremely afraid of Zi Chen. They did not even attack Zi Chen.

Zi Chen did not feel that it was a pity that Chen Meng had managed to escape under certain death. This was a lesson for him. In truth, just as Chen Meng had underestimated Zi Chen, Zi Chen had also underestimated Chen Meng. That was why he had been careless and allowed Chen Meng to escape.

In fact, no one who had stepped onto the ancient road was weak, especially those who had dared to enter the first-class ancient road. If Zi Chen had not relied on his perfect body, which was comparable to a mid-stage Primal Core cultivator, it would have been impossible for him to suppress Chen Meng to that extent.

"If you want to revive the dragons, you have to kill these flood dragons first." Suddenly, a voice rang out in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.

Zi Chen instantly became alert. He looked around and released his spiritual senses at the same time. However, he did not find anyone.

"I'm here." The voice from before sounded again. This time, it was above Zi Chen's head.

Zi Chen raised his head and saw an unfamiliar human man standing on top of an altar. He was only a little taller than Zi Chen. Obviously, he was an outsider.

Zi Chen, who was already on high alert, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from the man. Zi Chen had not noticed the sudden appearance of an outsider.

"Who are you? When did you come in?" Zi Chen asked coldly.

His spiritual senses kept scanning the man's body. However, he could not find any clues. The man was just like an ordinary person in the outside world.

However, how could the man be an ordinary person if he could appear here without a sound? Zi Chen's spiritual senses could not find anything. This could only mean that his spiritual senses were too weak.

The man was definitely an unfathomable existence. At this moment, Zi Chen actually had the urge to run away.

"You can't leave. If you leave, the dragons will not be able to be reborn." The man on the altar seemed to have guessed what Zi Chen was thinking.

Zi Chen stared at the man. He was still on high alert.

"Haha, you're a cautious little guy."

The man chuckled. Then, the aura around him began to surge. It was an extremely powerful aura. Under this aura, Zi Chen seemed to be fixed in place. He could not move his body.

Zi Chen's eyes instantly widened. Hearing the familiar voice and feeling the familiar aura, he exclaimed, "You, you're the Barbarian God."

"If you want to catch up, then wait. Now, let's kill these annoying dragons first."

As he spoke, the man withdrew his pressure. Zi Chen could already move. Just as he could move, Zi Chen found that the rest of the dragons had already closed in on him and were attacking him.

Zi Chen's expression became puzzled. However, he did not hesitate and attacked the dragons with all his might.

In just a few attacks, all the dragons were killed.

After the dragons died, their bodies and dragon crystals turned into endless green gas. They flew back to the green light egg and were completely absorbed.

The man jumped down from the altar and looked at Zi Chen with admiration in his eyes.

"You're really the Barbarian God."

Zi Chen looked at the man and sized him up. He had previously guessed that the Barbarian God might be a human, but it was only a guess. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he could not believe it.

"What do you think?" The man smiled faintly.

Zi Chen's expression was uncertain. However, the perfect body in his body indicated that the man was an existence with the same constitution as him. It was also the man who summoned him.

"Time is of the essence. If you have any questions, ask them later. Now, let's break the array above first." The man pointed at the array above.

"Why me?" Zi Chen looked at the man, his heart filled with vigilance again.

The man spread his hands and said, "If I could break it, I would have done it tens of thousands of years ago. It wouldn't be your turn."

Zi Chen was still puzzled.

The man continued, "Haven't you noticed that my power can suppress you in an instant, but it can't suppress that damned flood dragon? I can suppress you to the point that you can't move, but the flood dragon can dive towards you. This involves some secrets, I'll tell you later. Now, hurry up and break the formation."

Seeing that Zi Chen was still indifferent, the man's expression suddenly turned cold. He said, "You don't have the right to refuse because I'll kill you with one slap. It'll be easier than you killing the dragon."

Being threatened, Zi Chen had no choice but to walk up the altar. Because the passage was already closed, Zi Chen had no other choice.

The man smiled faintly and said, "Be quick. Use your blood to break the seal."

Zi Chen did as he was told and used his blood to break the seal.

The altar began to tremble, and the array pattern that was emitting a green light slowly dimmed because of Zi Chen's blood. Not long after, cracks began to spread across the altar, and the array on the altar was destroyed.

After destroying the array, Zi Chen walked down. The man was looking at him with a kind smile.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen asked. He could tell that the man didn't have any ill intentions.

"Are you asking me why I'm here, or why it's here?" The man pointed at himself, and then at the egg.

"Both."

A bitter smile appeared on the man's face, and he said, "I appeared here because I made a low-level mistake, and was sent to guard the ancient path. As for it, it originally came from here, but it was also banished because it made a low-level mistake. However, it was more unlucky than me, and was directly killed by someone. Although it was reborn through nirvana, it was sealed. If you had come ten thousand years later, it probably would have never been able to come out of this world."

"Guarding the Ancient Road? Mistakes? What are you talking about?" Zi Chen looked confused.

"When you entered the Ancient Road of the Strongest Ancient Road, you should have seen the Ancient Road Guardians, right?"

"Of course I saw them. They're a bunch of people who use their position for personal gain." Thinking of the Ancient Road Guardians, Zi Chen clenched his teeth.

A strange smile appeared on the man's face. He didn't say much and directly said, "Let me tell you this. Originally, my rank was even higher than the Ancient Road Guardians. However, because I offended a certain existence, I was demoted. I just happened to know about the situation with the barbaric dragon, so I took the initiative to come here."

Zi Chen's eyes were wide open as he stared at the young man and said, "What did you just say? You're at the same level as the protectors of the Ancient Road? In other words, you're a cultivator of the Human Origin Layer."

Zi Chen's shocked expression made the man feel a bit proud. He proudly said, "Of course."

"Since you're a Mortal Yuan expert, who would dare demote you? Who could demote you?" Zi Chen was still shocked.

"The ancient path is the most mysterious place in the entire Martial Heaven Continent. It's also a place where experts gather. Let alone a lowly person in the origin realm, even someone stronger would be demoted. However, I was demoted because I offended some higher-ups."

"A higher-up."

"Of course, as long as there are people, there will be disputes. The Ancient Road is no exception. In fact, it's even worse. However, you're too weak, so it's useless to tell you."

The man didn't seem to want to say more. Zi Chen also didn't want to ask. He hated power struggles and killing each other.

Suddenly, the man exclaimed, "Why hasn't the barbaric dragon been born yet? Furthermore, there are no signs of it coming out. Could it be that it's already dead?"

Zi Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The man suddenly looked at Zi Chen and asked, "When you broke the formation, did you use your life essence blood to awaken the barbaric dragon?"

Facing the man's question, Zi Chen said, "You didn't tell me. How would I know?"

"Idiot, the barbaric dragon belongs to the body cultivator faction. It has been sealed for so many years that most of its memories have been erased. Its power has also greatly weakened. How could it come out on its own? Hurry up and use your life essence blood to awaken it."

Zi Chen was helpless. He could only continue walking up the altar. He then forced out his life essence blood and smeared it on the cyan egg.

As soon as the golden life essence blood touched the cyan egg, it immediately disappeared and was absorbed. Several drops of life essence blood were quickly absorbed. This absorption speed startled Zi Chen.

"This is the barbaric dragon of the body cultivator faction. It's one of the true dragon totems. Its power is unfathomable. You think you can awaken it with just a few drops of life essence blood? Who do you think you are? God? Is your life essence blood divine?"

Hearing the man's flustered and exasperated voice, Zi Chen could only place his entire hand on the cyan egg.
