Chapter 94: Four Murals

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The murals here seemed to have some sort of mysterious power.

Chen Feng watched silently as his gaze seemed to be drawn into the murals. He could even picture the scenes depicted in the murals before him.

“Is this Spiritual Projection?” Chen Feng mumbled in surprise.

A scroll slowly unfolded before him.

A cold corpse stood before Chen Feng. Blood dyed the ground red, and the faint smell of blood lingered about his senses.

It felt as if an unknown force had appeared and taken away a vital life.

“Crack…Crack crack…”

An indescribable sound suddenly rang out from the corpse’s head. It made Chen Feng feel slightly nervous.

“Crack… crack…”

This strange sound made one feel extremely uncomfortable. After all, there was a human head in front of Chen Feng. This unknown creature seemed to be feeding on the contents inside the skull.

Just this simple thought alone was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

“Creak… creak…”

The sound of teeth grinding could be heard.

However, Chen Feng knew that this was definitely not the grinding of teeth. It was the sound of bones breaking instead.

Sharp teeth were slicing through the skull of a skeleton.

The sound of eating tortured one’s senses. It sounded like the creature was biting on the skull and crushing it into pieces. The sound was just like a soul-stirring song from hell that was being played in front of Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng did not show any reaction in the face of this sinister-looking scene.

Chen Feng remained impassive. He knew that these things were only illusions caused by the murals. It felt like a movie was being played in front of him in a unique way.

However, this method was way too immersive.

Chen Feng slowly raised his head. There were countless other similar scenes in the distance.

Corpses littered the ground and extended all the way to the end of the horizon. As far as the eye could see, not a single part of the ground was clean. The ground was tainted by blood. It seemed malevolent and terrifying.

“Boom!”

Right then, an explosion rang out in the sky.

As a divine light appeared, thunder rumbled and the light shot into the sky.

Chen Feng could vaguely see a divine artifact shaped like a longsword emitting tens of thousands of rays of light within the thunderclouds. The rays of lightning surged forward and crisscrossed to form a tightly-meshed net between the heavens and earth.

All the demon-like monsters on the ground immediately started to move. They flowed out from the corpses at an extremely fast speed and turned into streaks of black light as they tried to escape.

However, how could it be so easy for them to escape the power of the gods?

The sword buzzed with lightning as it slashed down from ten thousand meters in the sky. The lightning spread across the land for thousands of kilometers. All the monsters were annihilated by the terrifying power, which seemed to be capable of causing the world’s destruction.

Lightning surged towards Chen Feng. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

“Whoosh——”

Chen Feng gasped due to the intense pain.

“Why are they attacking the audience that’s watching the movie?”

After that, he felt the pressure around him dissipate. Everything was submerged in darkness once again.

The movie ended.

To be precise, the mental projection contained within the murals had finished playing.

“Is this the power of the gods?”

Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes. Lightning shot out from his eyes and shone brightly in the dark valley.

“My eyesight seems to have been enhanced…”

Chen Feng felt that his vision was many times better than before.

Previously, he had been using his mental power to sense everything in the dark abyss. However, he could now see everything with his naked eyes.

He could see everything regardless of the presence of light. His eyesight was as sharp as that of the eagle with the sharpest senses in the world. He was able to see through everything!

His eyesight was as sharp as lightning!

“I wonder who carved this mural. He or she was able to imbue a stone engraving with such great power and still retain the power within it after so many years.”

Chen Feng could not help but sigh out loud.

The person who had carved the stone engravings had most likely retained his or her power within the engravings to give the people of the future generation an opportunity to find out about everything that had happened. Chen Feng had coincidentally obtained the said opportunity.

“Could it be the god-like being holding the longsword in the mental projection?”

“That’s not right…He should be a god himself. He must have powers related to lightning. His powers match the attacks in Gaotian Plains’ [Arcane Realm of Lightning].”

“If I’m not mistaken, the person who attacked the monsters just now was a god from Japanese mythology. Who can he be?”

“Izanagii? Amaterasu? Susanoo? Oana Mouchi God?”

Chen Feng did not get an answer from his simple guesses.

After all, he did not know much about Japanese mythology. He could only ask Sakurai Longzi if he wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Chen Feng continued to walk around the altar. He then saw the last mural on the left.

The first mural that he had seen showed the Godly Tree shining bright like the sun.

The second mural depicted countless humans and animals worshiping the Godly Tree.

Meanwhile, the third mural showed the sacrificial altar restraining monsters with evil powers under the Godly Tree.

What could be depicted in the fourth mural?

Chen Feng looked forward to what he would see.

He was stunned when he turned around.

There was no fourth mural!

Or could it be…

Random scratches appeared all over the wall in front of Chen Feng. Some of the marks were deep whereas some were shallow. They were extremely messy.

Even if there was a mural here, it had been covered up by the messy marks.

“The mural was destroyed!”

Chen Feng gaped. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

This meant that before he arrived, someone had already came over and destroyed the fourth mural by the side of the altar.

“Something’s not right. If someone destroyed the fourth mural, why is the power of thunder still inside the third mural?”

More importantly, what was depicted in the fourth mural?

Someone had purposely come over to destroy it.

Chen Feng had his doubts, but the destroyed mural could no longer be replicated. He could only focus his gaze on the top of the altar.

According to the graphics on the mural, the Godly Tree should be grown on the altar.

“It seems like the Godly Tree should be planted here.”

Chen Feng took out the [Hibiscus Seed] from his backpack. The fragile sapling emitted a strange glow the moment it appeared.

The light shone ahead and connected with the altar.

After that, the [Hibiscus Seed] flew out of his hand and slowly rose above his head.

“Ding! Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden side quest [Planting the Godly Tree]!

“Please check your reward!”
