33: Chapter 33 A single roar and you're this scared?

Roar!

A roar, even more ferocious and domineering than before, suddenly erupted from the mouth of the Heaven Swallowing Beast!

Its body, which was originally only ten zhang long, stopped growing wildly at this moment, finally settling at around twenty zhang.

However, the aura emanating from its body continued to climb at a terrifying speed, level by level!

It suddenly opened its hideous, giant maw, capable of swallowing mountains, and a deep, pitch-black vortex spun frantically within its mouth!

Vaguely, a phantom of an ancient Heaven Swallowing Beast, so massive it seemed boundless, slowly took shape at the center of the vortex. It looked as if it wanted to break free from its shackles, burst through this underground secret chamber, and completely devour this world!

Roar!!!

At the Blood Sea Star Pass, Ning Jianghe, who was watching remotely through a power brand, was startled into alertness by this terrifying power!

His heart suddenly tightened!

"Not good! The power brand I left behind was only meant to prevent outsiders from spying; its defensive power isn't top-tier! If it's completely broken through by this Heaven Swallowing phenomenon, I'm afraid... the entire Mother Star, and even the entire Human Race Territory, will be shrouded in this malevolent aura!"

Although that phenomenon might not compare to the galaxy-piercing display triggered when his grandson practiced before...

Within the Human Race Territory, it would definitely be considered earth-shattering!

Most importantly, the source of this aura was too clear!

Once exposed, it would surely attract the gaze of the Ten Thousand Races of the Starry Sky back to the Mother Star, this land of trouble, once again!

At this moment, Ning Jianghe even had an absurd thought.

"Could it be... that the Nine Resonances of the Great Dao phenomenon from a few days ago was also related to this brat?"

But the current situation didn't leave him time to think further.

He made a decisive move, activating his divine sense to fully trigger the power brand remaining in the secret chamber's lightning runes.

Across the endless space-time of billions of light-years, the majestic power belonging to a Martial Saint was continuously channeled in.

When Ning Yuan practiced for the first time, it had happened too suddenly, and he hadn't been able to completely shield the commotion due to being caught off guard.

But this time, he was prepared.

Around the walls of the secret chamber, countless new purple lightning runes, even more brilliant and domineering, were generated out of thin air.

The old lightning runes, which had been flickering as if they might collapse at any moment, instantly became incredibly stable after receiving this surge of power. They shone with great radiance, firmly suppressing the Heaven Swallowing phenomenon that was about to break free within the secret chamber!

Ning Yuan had been somewhat apprehensive, but seeing this scene, he was immediately stunned.

"Grandpa?"

As soon as he spoke, the countless lightning runes on the walls slowly converged, eventually forming a kind and familiar elderly face.

"Yuaner, don't worry, Grandpa is here." Ning Jianghe's voice reached Ning Yuan's ears clearly through the lightning runes, filled with an unquestionable dominance.

Ning Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Good, good. At least a third universal phenomenon wasn't triggered.

If it happened again, even he would feel a bit embarrassed.

Roar!!!

Another earth-shattering roar!

The Heaven Swallowing Beast, Wang Zai, finally completely finished its bloodline transformation!

However, the power of this final roar, full of the joy of rebirth, was truly too astounding.

Even with Ning Jianghe's remote reinforcement, a tiny, negligible ripple still broke through the barrier of the lightning runes and escaped.

Ning Yuan blinked and looked at the face formed by the lightning runes on the wall.

A slightly awkward, dry smile also appeared on Ning Jianghe's face.

"Ahem, well... Grandpa is a bit far away, so there was a slight delay in the power transmission. A small oversight, it's no matter, no matter."

Inwardly, however, he was incredibly amazed.

The potential of this little fellow after its transformation seemed to be even better than he had estimated!

If it could grow up smoothly in the future, its strength would likely be even greater than his, this old man's!

Across the endless space-time, he was beyond reach, and in the end, a tiny bit of fluctuation had leaked out.

But it was fine, not a big problem.

At most, it would just startle those few little fellows on the Mother Star.

...

Outside the secret chamber, in front of the black door.

Jiang Baihe was waiting idly, picking up a piece of discarded newspaper to practice the new style of origami Ning Yuan had taught him.

His fingers flew, and his expression was focused.

"That's not right... How exactly did that kid Xiao Yuan fold this before?"

Suddenly!

Roar!

A domineering roar, which didn't spread through sound but instead echoed directly in the depths of his soul, exploded!

He felt a jolt go through his entire body, and the newspaper in his hand was instantly vibrated into fine powder by the escaping Martial Emperor aura.

For the first time, a look of shock appeared on Jiang Baihe's refined face!

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the closed black door behind him in astonishment!

"Such a terrifying aura! Xiao Yuan... what on earth is he doing in there?"

Huge waves rose in his heart.

That roar wasn't a physical sonic attack, but rather originated from some extremely noble bloodline inheritance; it was a form of pressure that acted directly on the soul level.

Only those with sufficiently strong soul power could clearly sense it!

"This Little Martial Nephew of mine is truly graced by the heavens and earth, gathering ten thousand fortunes upon himself!"

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Suddenly.

His expression changed as he sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching from a distance.

He quickly sent a short message to Ning Yuan via Heavenly Communication.

"Xiao Yuan, don't come out for a while. Wait until I call you."

Immediately, the shock on his face vanished completely, replaced by his calm and composed dean persona as he went to meet the approaching figures.

The newcomers were the other deans of the Great Xia Martial Academy.

"Dean Jiang, just now that was... has some accident occurred?"

A burly, bald dean was the first to ask.

This person was named Li Mang, and he came from the famous Li family of the Federation.

Unlike the situation of the Ning family where Ning Yuan lived, which had few descendants, the Li family's descendants were already spread all over the starry sky.

One of the current nine Martial Saints of the human race, the Sky-Severing Sword Saint, was from the Li family.

And the Sky-Severing Sword Saint had received great kindness from Ning Jianghe in his early years.

Therefore, the relationship between the two colleagues, Li Mang and Jiang Baihe, was also quite good.

At this moment, these Martial Emperor-level deans, who usually remained unperturbed even if Mount Tai collapsed before them, all had solemn expressions on their faces.

The roar from the depths of the soul just now, although it lasted only for a brief moment, had caused them all to feel a sliver of heartfelt fear!

Jiang Baihe, however, remained unfazed and waved his hand with a smile.

"Everyone, there's no need to worry. It's just a little something my mentor left behind when he was in seclusion here. It went slightly out of control just now, but it's been resolved."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Immediately, expressions of awe appeared on their faces.

The Thunder Martial Saint!

He was the universally acknowledged strongest of the human race, and the illustrious contributions he had made for the entire race were unsurpassed.

Since they heard that the matter was related to that legendary existence, they stopped probing further.

Only one of them, a beautiful woman with an elegant temperament named Jiang Qinglan, stared deeply at the black door and thought to herself:

"Jiang Baihe is lying."

"That roar just now was full of primitive vitality and dominance; it seemed more like it was related to the birth of some peerless, ferocious creature!"

However, she only kept this curiosity suppressed in her heart.

The most senior among them, an elderly dean named Zhuang Chen, waved his hand and spoke:

"Alright, since everything is fine, let's talk about business. It just so happens that everyone is here today. I just received the latest news from the Mother Star Ruins Department. The 'Yan River Ruins' detected previously has stabilized in its energy fluctuations. After preliminary research, it has been confirmed that the ruins are likely related to the ancient Dragon Race! Furthermore, the spatial laws within are very special, only allowing martial artists of the Transcendent Realm and below to enter..."

Ancient Dragon Race?!

Upon hearing these three words, the expressions of the deans present all changed abruptly, becoming incredibly solemn.

If that were truly the case, then the importance of this ruins opening would likely be even higher than they had previously imagined.

I'm afraid there will be many complications.

...

Meanwhile, in Villa Dormitory No. 1.

Jiang Mingyue's face was currently slightly pale.

She had just spent a large amount of her Silver Moon Sacred Body's origin power to infuse it into the Heavenly Fox Egg before her.

At this moment, she was looking at the changes in the eggshell with great anticipation.

Crack... crack...

Crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another.

Soon, a moon-white fox cub, snow-white all over with a mysterious silver marking on its forehead, looking beautiful, noble, and gentle, crawled out of the eggshell.

After being nourished by Jiang Mingyue's Sacred Body origin, its future growth potential had firmly stepped into the Saint level!

Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue's heart was filled with joy.

"As expected of a starry sky beast with Saint-level potential! From now on, you shall be called 'White Moon'!"

The fox cub named White Moon rubbed affectionately against her palm, then rolled around on the bed repeatedly, looking incredibly lively.

At the same time, it also raised its proud little head, striking the pose of a future king about to rule over the starry sky.

Watching this, Jiang Mingyue smiled, looking incomparably beautiful.

Just then.

A terrifying roar from the deepest part of the bloodline exploded in the minds of both Jiang Mingyue and White Moon without any warning.

Jiang Mingyue's face instantly turned pale!

And the fox cub White Moon, who had been acting all majestic just a moment ago, looked as if it had been struck by a bolt of divine lightning from the nine heavens. It instantly went limp on the ground, its whole body trembling violently, letting out whimpering moans with eyes full of terror, its previous demeanor completely gone.

Jiang Mingyue was dumbfounded on the spot.

What happened to the promised Saint-level potential?

How could it be scared like this just by hearing someone else's roar?
