Chapter 1533: Lost

Not a single person had any idea about the strange weather phenomenon. All they knew was that something was wrong. “I have a feeling this is related to Long Chen,” Long Chen’s clone answered. “Maybe Tian Shen is free? Or maybe it’s something much worse… In any case, we’ll get our answers after we get to the core of this problem… The Tomb.”

“I think he is right as well. This seems to be related to the exploration. And if it’s enough to change the weather like that, then something really big is happening. We can’t wait.”

Black Tortoise Patriarch stated. He came here to get Long Chen back and to find out about the Origin Core, but now that he was here, he believed that this thing was much bigger than that. “You are right. We can’t wait at this situation.” Baihu Yang agreed. He instructed half the ministers to stay behind while telling the other half to follow him. He glared at Long Chen’s clone. “Lead the path!”

Zhu Chang held Long Chen’s clone’s hands as he started flying in the direction pointed by him. The others flew behind. The group consisting of the Demon Princess, White Tiger Prince, Black Tortoise Prince, Black Tortoise Patriarch, Snake Monarch, and Warriors of the White Tiger Realm flew like Lightning, trying to get to the Tomb. The Closer they went to the Tomb, the worse the weather became. They could see many thick lightning bolts fall in the surroundings as if the Heaven was raging at the atrocities of this Realm. With each moment that passed, Baihu Yang worried about his father and his sister. “Urgh!” He was still on the way when he clenched his heart, feeling crunching pain. He stopped mid-way. The others also stopped. “Are you alright?” Zhu Chang asked. “What happened?”

“Do I look like I’m fine?” Baihu Yang snapped. “I don’t know what it is, but I felt some pain in my heart. It was only for a brief moment.”

“Let me see.” The Black Tortoise Patriarch inched closer to Baihu Yang. He placed his hand on the chest of the young man and closed his eyes. Even though they were in a hurry to get to their destination, he couldn’t ignore such a strange phenomenon. As soon as he placed his hand on Baihu Yang’s chest, his face turned grim. “How is this possible?’

Seeing the old man so grim, even Baihu Yang grew somewhat worried. The Black Tortoise King was said to be the calmest God Beast King. Something that could make him so shocked? Just what could it be?

“What is it?” he asked. “He lost his God Beast Aura.” Before the Black Tortoise King could answer, Snake Monarch did. He was a beast from the mortal realms, so he was able to sense it better. The Suppression he felt from Baihu Yang was gone now. He could still feel that Suppression from Zhu Chang and his father, but not from Baihu Yang. “He is right.” The Black Tortoise King agreed with the Snake Monarch. “You’ve lost your Godly Aura… In other words, your Bloodline has lost the Protection of the God Beast Star.”

“How is that possible?” The Ministers asked. “How could the young prince lose the protection?”

“There is only one way for that to happen. He received that protection because his father had the God Core. As long as the God Core is in a Bloodline, everyone in that Bloodline receives Godly Star’s protection. It doesn’t matter which member has it. Those Bloodlines are called Royal Bloodline.”

“For him to lose the Protection, that means his Bloodline isn’t the Royal Bloodline anymore,” he added. “That means… Father…? But even if that was there in case, the Godly Core should’ve passed onto me or my sister.”

“That’s what I’m also worried about. There’s no doubt that your father is dead. The only question is about the passing of the Core and why it hasn’t passed on you. The one explanation… Either the Core has been destroyed already, or someone else absorbed the core before it could pass onto the next person of the Royal Bloodline. I believe it’s the latter.”

“Someone stole the core from Father? Father is dead?!”

So many shocks came for Baihu Yang, all at once. Both those statements seemed to be impossible. There was no way someone could kill his father, and even if they did, snatching the core should’ve been impossible!

“If the White Tiger King is dead, that can only mean one thing. Someone who can kill a Godly Beast Emperor has made a return. I suppose we all know who it could be… Tian Shen.” Long Chen’s clone sighed. “We are too late. And if Tian Shen is back, then Long Chen must be dead as well.”

“We should leave and never come back. That’s the only way we can survive. No benefit in facing Tian Shen!”

“Shut up!” Baihu Yang roared. His father had just been killed. He was burning for revenge. And instead of going for revenge, this guy was talking about running away?

“Just lead us to that place!” He commanded!

“Whatever. If you want to die, be my guest. We’re close.” *****

The group arrived at the entrance of the Tomb, right at the center of the thunderstorm. The weather was worse here. Even many spatial cracks had started developing wherever the lightning bolts fell. It was as if almost every second, there was a lightning strike, which kept getting stronger. It was as if the reality was getting destroyed!

The White Tiger Realm wasn’t the only God Beast Realm that was going through a strange phenomenon. The other God Beast Realms, also saw something strange. There were nine god beast stars in the sky that were visible all the time. But at the moment, one of the nine god beast stars was different. Instead of shining in the usual blue light, one of the nine stars was shining in a strange red light. The Dragon Emperor stood on his balcony, looking at the stars in the sky. It was the first time he had seen a star turn red. It was such a strange phenomenon that even he didn’t know what it meant. All he knew was that things weren’t good. The other God Beast Kings could also see the strange star in the sky. The Phoenix Clan was also standing before their balcony, looking at the sky. They weren’t alone either. With their group, there was another person standing.

The Ancestral Beast Rainbow Phoenix was welcomed to the Phoenix Realm by everyone. She was the Strongest beast, after all. She had been staying here ever since she killed Long Chen… Or at least she believed she did. “What is that…?” The Phoenix Queen asked the Rainbow Phoenix, who was silent.
