Chapter 543: The Ancient Cave of Time
Ling Feng stood on a giant hand, feeling an incredibly terrifying demonic essence. He couldn't help but swallow hard.
Just how powerful is this golden Demonic Jiao?
A demon emperor? Or a demon ruler?
Ling Feng even felt that this golden Demonic Jiao's strength might surpass that of the Qiongqi Demon Emperor.
However, Ling Feng couldn't understand why this golden Demonic Jiao suddenly appeared to help him out of his predicament.
The situation was changing rapidly. Cold sweat dripped down from Ling Feng's forehead. The demon kings were already deadly enough, and now, a being suspected to be a demon ruler had appeared.
It was terrifying!
Too terrifying!
"Rise, all of you."
The golden Demonic Jiao spoke calmly, and then focused its gaze on Ling Feng. Its enormous face actually showed a slight smile. "You’ve finally arrived!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was stunned. Could this golden Demonic Jiao possibly know me? Impossible, this is my first time in the Nanjiang demon domain.
Moreover, the demon race experts often have lifespans of thousands of years. I am not even twenty yet. How could it have met me?
The Three-Headed Demonic Jiao clan below all looked at each other in shock.
This old ancestor hadn’t come out for decades, yet now he appeared because of this Prince Long Fei?
"Hehe..."
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly as he forced a smile and looked up at the golden Demonic Jiao.
Its massive body made Ling Feng's neck ache just from standing on its hand and having to look up.
"Ancestor, why have you suddenly emerged?" Jin Zhulong asked nervously while looking at the golden Demonic Jiao. For decades, this old ancestor had guarded the Ancient Cave of Time, and was completely indifferent to the life and death of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao. Yet today, he acted for Long Fei.
"None of you are to trouble him." The golden Demonic Jiao's voice was very calm, with eyes as deep and unfathomable as the sea.
"Yes! Yes!"
All of the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao nodded repeatedly. This old ancestor’s power had reached an unimaginable level.
"Prince Long Fei, you are indeed magnanimous!"
Jin Zhulong sighed lightly and said, "My daughter has been rude to you. I hope you won't hold it against her."
"I won't," Ling Feng replied with a faint smile. Then he asked, "By the way, who exactly was that ancestor just now?"
"Well..." Jin Zhulong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I don't know much about that ancestor's identity either. He is indeed the ancestor of our Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan and holds immense power. I suspect he has already reached the level of a demon ruler."
"A demon ruler!"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes. His guess had been correct. However, it seemed that no other demons in Heavenly Demon City knew of this powerful being’s existence. Otherwise, the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
"I only know that the ancestor's name is Kong."
"Kong?"
Ling Feng blinked. Kong, meaning 'empty' or 'nothing,'[1] was indeed a strange name!
"This ancestor existed even before the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan migrated to the northern demon domain, so it’s possible that he’s from a much older era. Yet, he has always guarded the Ancient Cave of Time, never allowing anyone to enter and never coming out himself."
"We Three-Headed Demonic Jiao only know of such an ancient existence but have almost never seen him. This time, we got to see this legendary figure only because of your arrival, prince."
Ling Feng nodded slightly and asked, "Then, what is this Ancient Cave of Time?"
"Prince Long Fei, haven't the elders of the main branch mentioned it to you?" Jin Zhulong asked curiously.
"No."
Ling Feng touched his nose. Is this Ancient Cave of Time such a well-known secret among the Three-Headed Demonic Jiao?
"Well..." Jin Zhulong shook his head and smiled. "The legends about the Ancient Cave of Time are just rumors. There's indeed no need to bring it up."
Jin Zhulong took a deep breath and said calmly, "I only know that the entrance to the Ancient Cave of Time is behind our Three-Headed Demonic Jiao Clan's settlement. There is a long mountain path there. However, no matter how long you walk, it seems you can never reach the end.
"And it's said that the end of that mountain path is where the Ancient Cave of Time is located." Jin Zhulong squinted his eyes at Ling Feng and said slowly, "The ancestor just said that you could go to the Ancient Cave of Time to find him. Perhaps you might actually be able to enter that legendary place."
"A legendary place, huh?"
Ling Feng's eyes shone with a sharp light. Ever since he arrived in Heavenly Demon City, he had always felt a mysterious force calling out to him. Now, this call seemed even stronger.
The Ancient Cave of Time, huh?
Ling Feng clenched his fists. Perhaps, it is indeed necessary for me to investigate!
