Chapter 58 Ch 58: Earth King's Ancient Land

"No!" Aaban shook his head and replied, "What I want is not just his hand but his life!"

Ivaan frowned, replying, "You can't do that. I'll not let you kill a disciple of my Mystical Peak!"

Aaban's brows furrowed as a sharp aura suddenly burst out. "Humph! I must kill him today. No one can stop me!"

"Then give it a try." Ivaan did not show any weakness as he released his aura, causing his clothes to flutter.

The battle between the two experts was on the verge of breaking out.

However, at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Immediately after, the sky in the south changed as a purple beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the layers of clouds floating above.

The weather had changed, and a violent force shook the heavens. And at the same time, a mysterious and vast energy began to spread everywhere.

.....

Inside the Stairway to Chaos, when Atticus saw this scene, he muttered in low voice: "The true trial has begun. Little guy, show me what you have got. Don't disappoint me!"

.....

Looking at the purple pillar of light that soared to the sky in the distance, everyone showed the expression of shock and solemnity.

"What's going on? What happened there?

"That direction.... that direction seems to be the direction of Earth King's Ancient Land. Has the Earth King's Ancient Land been opened?" The old man that was chasing after Alex a few seconds ago muttered in a low but deep voice.

"It seems so!" Aaban's lips slightly moved and astonishment emerged in his eyes.

"What is this Earth King's Ancient Land?" Alex muttered this and a series of information flashed in his eyes.

"So that's what it is!"

Knowing what the Earth's King Ancient Land is, Alex nodded his head in surprise.

Earth's King Ancient Land is a secret land left behind by the renowned expert of this world. As the name of Ancient Land itself says, the owner of this Ancient Land was known as the Earth King who is said to be an extremely mysterious and one of the top experts in the entire country.

Alex and others of Mystical Peak descend the mountain because they wanted to enter this Ancient Land. However, there were still ten days left for the opening of this Earth King's Ancient Land.

The early opening of the Earth King's Ancient Land was completely unexpected. No one had expected such a thing to happen at such a critical moment.

What should they do now? Should they keep fighting?

Aaban glanced at Alex and Ivaan coldly, then he shifted his gaze to the old man, and shouted, "Old man Song, what are you standing there for? Let's go and enter the Earth King's Ancient Land. We'll deal with this brat later!"

The old man surnamed Song reluctantly nodded his head. His face showed unwillingness to accept this. He fiercely glared at Alex and said coldly: "Brat, I'll let you live a few more days for now. I won't let this matter go."

With that, Old Man Song took the lead and left in a hurry. After a few seconds, Aaban also left with a cold snort.

Initially, they had thought that there would be at least another ten days before the opening of the Earth King's Ancient Land, but now that it has opened so early, everyone was caught off guard. After all, entering the Earth King's Ancient Land required a lot of preparation. If they were to waste their time here, they might even suffer great losses.

After the two of them left, Alex could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?!" Ivaan looked at Alex at this moment, walked up, and asked.

Alex laughed and shook his head. He looked at the person in front of him deeply. Although this young man didn't help him greatly and even told Aaban that he could break his hand, Ivaan was not wrong. The previous owner of this body deserves to have his hand chopped off.

He didn't think too much but said solemnly, "Senior Ivaan, I am grateful for your help this time. In the future, if there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best to help you."

Alex was no longer confident if this was a trial or he'll now have to stay in this body for how whole life. Since he didn't know and thinking about it will only cause his head to hurt, he chose to throw this matter at the back of his head.

"We're all fellow disciples, there's no need to be so polite." Ivaan didn't show any sign of emotion on his face and replied calmly. He again said with a serious expression, "Alright, there is not much time left. I will gather all the disciples of our Mystical Peak who came here and head to the Earth King's Ancient Land. You should head over there immediately. Don't delay!"

"Ok!" Alex didn't say anything. He simply agreed with Ivaan and took his leave.

.....

The Earth King's Ancient Land was located in a city called the Star River City. Actually, it was located in a valley called the Earth King Valley.

At this time, the Star River City was already in the middle of the most chaotic situation. Without a doubt, the early opening of the Earth King's Ancient Land had left behind a huge stone on the surface of the calm lake, splashing water everywhere. All the big and small forces in the city and from around the city hurriedly left their houses when they heard the news of the early opening of the Earth King's Ancient Land.

Anyone can guess that the journey to the Earth King's Ancient Land will not be smooth. And after entering the Earth King's Ancient Land, there is bound to be a bloody battle waiting for them.

After all, where there are people, there will be fights. Where there is a fight, there will be casualties as well.

Alex was halfway to the Earth King Valley when a huge flying boat appear above his head. This ship was not flying much higher, it was only about ten meters above the ground. Without a single warning, Alex jumped into the air and landed on the deck of the flying ship.

It is because this flying ship belongs to this body's Senior Ivaan who brought other disciples of the Mystical Peak. None of them said anything. The flying ship sped up and started flying at a very fast speed.

Although the speed of the flying ship was extremely fast, when they arrived at the Earth King Valley, it was already packed with people and was bustling with noise and excitement. The large and small mountaintops in the surroundings were filled with a crowd of people.

In the Earth King Valley, there was a very big mountain range with many poisonous insects and vicious beasts living inside. The surrounding mountains were steep and there were countless cliffs.

Alex saw that the entrance to the valley was already surrounded by people and it was so blocked that not even a three years old child could pass through. However, there was a light purple light barrier at the entrance. This was the restriction that stopped people from entering the Earth King's Ancient Land.

"It looks like we didn't come late. The entrance has yet to be opened." A fellow disciple of Mystical Peak named Kim Jin-Oh said.

There were many teams gathered in groups. They even recognized a few teams which were the team composed of forces called Flying Cloud Castle, Heaven Hall, Hundred Poison Sect, and Ancient Sword Gate. Well, there was also their team, the team of the Mystical Peak which become very eye-catching the moment they arrived here.

On the other hand, Alex discovered the various people of the Hundred Poison Sect casting their cold and unfriendly gazes at him and his fellow disciples of the Mystical Peak.

Obviously, such a blatant look couldn't be hidden from other disciples of the Mystical Peal.

Alex didn't say anything, nor did any disciple of the Mystical Peak had any intention of saying a word. They chose to ignore the disciples of the Hundred Poison Sect and shifted their gazes.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the Earth King Valley. However, the vast majority of them came to watch the show. It was impossible to enter the Earth King's Ancient Land just because they want. Even if they were to be given a hundred times more courage, those few people will not choose to enter the Earth King's Ancient Valley. It is because they know how terrifying the battle is going to be inside the Earth King's Ancient Land after the restriction stopping others from entering will be lifted.

These people also needed enough strength on top of courage if they want to enter and fight for resources inside. They needed to have the ability to fight bloody battles against the geniuses of the various forces.
