Chapter 148

"Hmph! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

The Dark Elder shouted angrily, waving his hands, and the black crystals around the altar suddenly lit up.

They shot out countless black rays of light, attacking Tang Yun like a rainstorm.

Tang Yun did not dodge or evade, letting the black rays hit his body.

Ding ding dang dang!

A series of metallic collision sounds rang out; after the black rays hit Tang Yun's body, they actually bounced off, failing to cause him any harm.

"Is that it?" Tang Yun curled his lips in disdain, "It's not even enough to scratch an itch."

The Dark Elder's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Impossible! How could your physical body be so powerful?"

"Nothing is impossible." Tang Yun sneered.

"How could an old demon like you, who has been hiding in his nest for a thousand years, understand how wonderful the outside world is."

Tang Yun's figure flashed, instantly appearing before the Dark Elder and throwing a punch.

The Dark Elder was caught off guard, hit in the chest by Tang Yun's punch, and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the platform.

"Cough cough..." The Dark Elder coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.

"You..." He pointed at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

"I said, today I'm going to tear down this broken nest of yours." Tang Yun walked step by step toward the Dark Elder, and with every step, the golden light on his body grew stronger.

The Dark Elder struggled to stand up, only to find that he couldn't move at all.

"Who... who exactly are you?" he asked tremblingly.

"Me?" Tang Yun's mouth curled slightly, revealing a wicked smile, "I'm just a... passing... small fry leveling up by fighting monsters."

Before the words had faded, Tang Yun stepped on the Dark Elder's chest, and a powerful force instantly erupted, crushing all of the Dark Elder's ribs.

"Ah!" The Dark Elder let out a shrill scream, his body twitching violently, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.

Tang Yun withdrew his foot, looking at the now-dead Dark Elder without a hint of pity.

"Old demon, have a safe journey."

He turned to look at Tianji Old Man and Leng Yue, smiling slightly: "Done."

Tianji Old Man looked at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with awe and worship.

He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had seen such a powerful young man.

Leng Yue looked at Tang Yun, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She knew that Tang Yun was no longer the ordinary college student he once was.

He had become more powerful, and also more mysterious.

"Tang Yun..." Leng Yue called out softly.

"Hmm?" Tang Yun turned to look at Leng Yue.

"Are... are you really okay?" Leng Yue asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Tang Yun smiled slightly, "Just a small injury, it's nothing."

He walked to Leng Yue's side and gently helped her up.

"Let's go."

Tang Yun supported Leng Yue and left the altar with Tianji Old Man.

Not long after they left, the altar suddenly began to shake violently.

Rumble!

A loud noise, and the altar collapsed, turning into a pile of ruins.

At the same time, the crystal in Tang Yun's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force surged from within him, shooting straight into the clouds.

The black clouds in the sky instantly dissipated, revealing the bright sunshine.

Tang Yun looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

"What... is going on?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Congratulations on successfully fusing the Chaos Dao Body."

Tang Yun was stunned. Chaos Dao Body? What was that?

Before he could react, the voice in his mind rang out again.

"The Chaos Dao Body is the most powerful physique in heaven and earth, possessing infinite potential. That you were able to fuse with the Chaos Dao Body is your fortune, and also your destiny."

"Destiny?" Tang Yun frowned, "What destiny?"

"Your destiny is to save this world."

Tang Yun nearly laughed out loud. "Save the world? Are you kidding me? I can't even take care of myself, and you want me to save the world?"

The voice in his mind was silent for a moment, then said.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true. This world is about to face a huge catastrophe, and only you can prevent it from happening."

"Catastrophe? What catastrophe?" Tang Yun pressed.

"I can't tell you yet; when the time comes, you will naturally know."

"Screw your 'time comes'!" Tang Yun couldn't help but curse.

"You leave me in the dark, and then tell me to save the world? Why should I?"

The voice in his mind sighed: "I know you're confused right now, but please believe me, I won't harm you."

"Believe you? Why should I believe you?" Tang Yun sneered, "You won't even reveal your own identity, why should I believe you?"

"My identity..." the voice in his mind hesitated, "It's not yet time to tell you."

"Heh, I knew it," Tang Yun curled his lips in disdain, "Playing mysterious."

"Tang Yun..." Tianji Old Man looked at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with worry, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yun came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, just suddenly thought of some things."

He turned to look at Leng Yue and found that she was staring at the fragment of cloth in his hand, her brows tightly locked.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yun asked.

Leng Yue handed the cloth fragment to Tang Yun: "Look, there seems to be something embroidered on this."

Tang Yun took the cloth fragment and began to observe it carefully.

The cloth fragment was very small, only the size of a palm, and had some strange patterns embroidered on it.

These patterns looked like some kind of writing, but Tang Yun had never seen them before.

"What kind of writing is this?" Tang Yun asked.

Leng Yue shook her head: "I don't know."

Tianji Old Man leaned over to take a look, and his expression suddenly became grave.

"This is... Ancient Divine Script!"

"Ancient Divine Script?" Tang Yun and Leng Yue asked in unison.

"That's right," Tianji Old Man said in a deep voice, "This kind of writing has been lost for thousands of years; I didn't expect it to appear here."

"Ancient Divine Script... what does that mean?" Tang Yun pressed.

Tianji Old Man took a deep breath and said slowly: "According to legend, Ancient Divine Script is the writing used by ancient gods, containing powerful strength."

"Powerful strength?" Tang Yun's heart stirred, "Could this cloth fragment be some kind of treasure?"

"Very likely," Tianji Old Man nodded, "However, what specific treasure it is will require further study to know."

Tang Yun put away the cloth fragment and then looked at Tianji Old Man: "Senior Tianji, do you know how to interpret Ancient Divine Script?"

Tianji Old Man shook his head: "Although I know of the existence of Ancient Divine Script, I do not know how to interpret it."

"Then what should we do?" Tang Yun was somewhat disappointed.

"Perhaps... we can go find someone," Tianji Old Man said after pondering for a moment.
