Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that Qin Chuan had stopped, Lin Yue promptly halted as well.

After glancing at Qin Chuan's expression, she quickly guessed the situation, a hint of delight appearing in her eyes, "Did you find something good?"

"Mm!" Qin Chuan nodded with a smile, "I don't know what it is yet, but I have a premonition that this could very well be the reason why White Jiao Cold Ridge has become what it is today."

"This treasure is buried too deep," he said, with a streak of fortune on his face.

The target was at a depth of ten thousand meters underground, just at the enhanced detection limit of Sun Needle's First Talent. Standing directly above the treasure, Qin Chuan could barely sense its location.

Even a slight deviation would have meant they would have missed the treasure entirely.

Clearly, the influence of Prayer was at play.

Such an extreme distance also surprised Lin Yue.

"No wonder it hasn't been discovered after all these years," she whispered, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Let's go down and take a look!"

"Okay." Qin Chuan thought of Grian's emphatic demeanor and couldn't help but laugh.

Quickly switching his syncing partner to Rock, with the power of the Earth Attribute, a passage rapidly formed beneath the ice and snow, guided precisely by Sun Needle's First Talent to the resources below.

The two of them leapt down the passage, descending swiftly, eventually arriving at a vast cavern deep underground.

"Thud~"

Back on solid ground, both were unable to hide their astonishment.

"Who would have thought there'd be such a place ten thousand meters underground," Lin Yue spoke softly, then looked around, "Do you sense the treasure's location now?"

"I sense it," Qin Chuan nodded, "It's over..."

Before he could finish, his expression changed instantly, pulling Lin Yue in a flash, they disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, a terrifying assault swept past where they had just been, the cavern thundered and shuddered nonstop.

On the other side of the cavern, having dodged the attack, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue were both shaken.

The strength of the attacker… was a bit terrifying.

It had already surpassed the upper limit of ten million of the First Realm of Mythical Rank, though it had not yet reached the Second Realm level, but it was far beyond an ordinary First Realm.

In the darkness, two blood-red pupils suddenly lit up.

Those were the eyes of a gigantic beast.

In a moment, that pair of eyes fixated on Qin Chuan and Lin Yue.

Instinctually, Qin Chuan was about to activate Time Stop, but he heard a roar echoing throughout the cavern.

"Which insect... dares disturb my Deep Sleep!"

The language of the attacker...

Qin Chuan's gaze flickered and put off activating Time Stop for the moment.

After three months of contact with the Heavenly Dome Rank, he had become very familiar with the languages of the six Clans of the Heavenly Dome Rank.

But the language used by this giant beast did not belong to any of them.

The beast's body gradually twisted itself into action, the large cavern seemingly narrow in front of its massive frame, as its huge head drew closer to Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, its eyes brimming with menace.

In the darkness, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue finally saw clearly the appearance of their counterpart.

A huge white snake with a horn on top of its head.

A horned snake is known as a flood dragon.

This was a White Flood Dragon.

Connecting this to White Jiao Cold Ridge, both of their gazes sharpened simultaneously.

As the White Flood Dragon drew nearer, the atmosphere within the cavern became more tense.

At this critical moment, the White Flood Dragon suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as the previous ferocity ebbed away like a tide.

"Immortal Clan?"

"No... not right, you are not from the Immortal Clan."

The White Flood Dragon's blood-red eyes held a look of confusion.

"Why do you carry the traces of the Immortal Clan?"

"What Clan are you?"

"Where have the Immortal Clan gone?"

"How very strange..."

Hearing the White Flood Dragon's subconscious muttering, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's eyes widened in shock.

"You... know of the Immortal Clan?" Lin Yue could not help exclaiming, "Are you a Clan that has survived from the previous ten thousand years?"

A Clan other than the Moon Spirit had survived the last ten thousand years?

Both were inwardly shaken.

Though they had previously encountered Salma of the Illusion Clan and Qingyang Immortal Monarch from the Immortal Clan, both had existed in the world in special ways, leaving behind only a few traces of their respective Clans.

The creature before them was entirely different; it was a being of pure flesh and blood, genuinely surviving from the previous ten thousand years.

Blood Demon? Or Nest Clan?

Yet, it seemed to share no common traits with the two Clans described by Qingyang Immortal Monarch.

Before Qin Chuan and Lin Yue could continue their questioning, the White Flood Dragon that had heard Lin Yue's exclamation suddenly fell silent.

"The previous ten thousand years..."

Its voice carried a note of wistfulness, "I've slept for so long..."

The White Flood Dragon gazed at Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, but its eyes were somewhat vacant, as if recalling events that had occurred before its slumber.

After a moment, as if understanding something, the White Flood Dragon's eyes flashed with sudden realization.

"Reincarnation Immortal Monarch..." Its voice was low, echoing within the cavern, "It was the power of the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch, right?"

"I thought it felt somewhat familiar."

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged glances.

This White Flood Dragon before them, so knowledgeable about the Immortal Clan?

Not only could it discern traces of the Immortal Clan on humans but also associate them with the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch.

"Don't guess anymore, I am not one of the Clans that ascended the Heavenly Dome Rank." Sensing their confusion, the White Flood Dragon spoke languidly, "The Heavenly Dome Rank also has its natives."

"Original inhabitants?" Qin Chuan's expression showed surprise.

The Heavenly Dome Rank did indeed have life forms that weren't part of the six major Clans, but those were merely ordinary beasts and plants, and even if they possessed transcendent powers, they were certainly not strong.
