Chapter 869: The Gold Shrimp Will Transform
The lava in the sky sloshed around, and sometimes, bubbles rose on its surface .
On the brown earth below, clouds of dust arose . A giant crab was running for its life .
It was running so fast that it covered a great distance in the blink of an eye .
Behind the crab was a young man, who was carrying a massive golden kitchen knife . The young man was sprinting after the big crab .
However, Bu Fang couldn’t catch that hairy crab .
The crab, who was running wildly for its life, moved as fast as a bolt of lightning crossing a meadow .
Although Bu Fang was running as fast as he could, his true energy had only just reached the Divine Soul realm with a one-step soul ladder . Hence, all he could see was the giant crab getting further, with clouds of dust rising behind it .
Watching the cloud of dust scatter, the corners of Bu Fang’s lips mouth curled begrudgingly . He wanted to use the crab to make a meal, but it had escaped .
He had planned to give the hairy crab an experience it had never had before .
He put away the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, and a cold light flashed as the jade token appeared in his hand .
It was this jade token that the huge crab had just fought the demon scorpion for . Many mysterious patterns had been carved on it .
The bronze palace it had projected in Bu Fang’s mind was familiar . If his memory served him well, that was the bronze palace he had seen on the Yellow Spring River .
Back then, in the thick blood-red fog, two black boats had been tugging the bronze palace along the Yellow Spring River . The bronze palace and the two ancient black boats he had seen earlier looked exactly the same .
Taking a deep breath, Bu Fang raised his head . If he was not wrong, this jade token was the key to unlocking the secret of this massive hole .
There should be more than a few jade tokens . Hence, Bu Fang pulled himself together and continued on his journey through the wild, barren wasteland .
The wasteland was dry, and the temperature was high . Even the air was very dry .
His feet made a noise when he stepped on crushed rock, which rubbed against his soles . The noise could make one’s scalp tingle .
However, the spirit energy in this area was really thick, unlike the Southern Region .
According to the information in the jade token, Bu Fang knew that the pond he had seen was located at the end of this wasteland . His goal now was to find that pond .
As he walked, he realized that this world had other living beings . He had seen long snakes slither across the wasteland .
Apart from the snakes, some very fast spirit beasts had crossed in front of him, moving as fast as an arrow, which caused dust to rise into the air .
Bu Fang took a cloak out from his system dimensional bag and put it on, shielding himself from the rising sandstorm .
The sandstorm finally rose, scattering sand and dust everywhere .

After a while, Bu Fang crouched to look at a white flower on the brown ground . As soon as he plucked the flower, the earth beneath it instantly cracked .
A gigantic bloody maw emerged from below and snapped at Bu Fang, in a bid to swallow him .
Apparently, the flower was a trap .
Bu Fang was a little astonished . He instantly soared into the sky, and the Black Turtle Constellation Wok appeared in his hand . Without a thought, he swung it down .
Boom!
The owner of the bloody maw had also jumped into the sky with Bu Fang .
It had sprung like a spring .
It was a pangolin spirit beast, but many of its features differed from a real pangolin . At least, its mouth was filled with sharp fangs .
When the Black Turtle Constellation Wok struck its target, the spirit beast was dumbstruck, and it crashed to the ground with a loud thud .
Bu Fang hovered, expressionlessly looking down at the spirit beast .
His left hand jerked, and the gold light began to curl around it, revealing the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in its grip .
A cold light flashed, and dragon might erupted from the kitchen knife .
As soon as the spirit beast felt the dragon might, it lied down on the ground and did not dare move anymore . The golden dragon might had subdued it, and it was shivering deep in its blood core .
“Using a flower as bait to hunt… You’re smart, but you’re not good enough to become a cooking ingredient . Anyway, I need a mount, so I guess I’ll use you then,” Bu Fang stated matter-of-factly, expressionlessly staring down at the spirit beast .
A moment later, he landed on the pangolin’s back .
This spirit beast was smart, and it seemed to understand Bu Fang’s intention . Living to see another day was the best outcome of this encounter anyway .
Immediately, it stretched and began to gallop .
This spirit beast moved so fast that it seemed to become one with the lava as he headed toward the far area .
Bu Fang sat cross-legged on the beast as his cloak fluttered in the wild, howling wind .
This spirit beast seemed to know the wasteland well . Soon, Bu Fang could see the end of the wasteland, where a range of mountains was situated .
Splash! Splash!
Suddenly, seawater surged out of nowhere and flooded the area . The spirit beast stepped on the water, creating bubbles underneath it, and continued running fast .
As Bu Fang looked at the seawater all around them, he furrowed his brows . He pressed one hand on the beast’s head, making it slow to a halt above the water .

How could this place have so much water all of a sudden?
Bu Fang was a little skeptical . Had the oceanic species’ experts arrived here already?
Bu Fang found that thought reasonable .
He jumped off the spirit beast . Before he landed, true energy covered his feet, allowing him to land and walk on the surface of the sea .
“Go, you’ve done a good job,” said Bu Fang, patting the spirit beast’s head .
The spirit beast had its scales fanned out . Without the slightest hesitation, it ran away, and soon, its figure had disappeared altogether .
Bu Fang cocked his head, looking at the vast sea around him .
His true energy covered him completely, and he slowly began to sink . Then, he realized that although seawater was everywhere, it wasn’t really deep .
Rising back up the surface, Bu Fang headed towards the far area, where the mountain range was . The spirit energy there reached the sky .
That was his destination .
Suddenly, Bu Fang stopped . He had seen something really huge standing far away from him .
It was a gold shrimp, whose shell was radiating dazzling gold light . The shrimp just stood there, not moving, as the seawater rose around it .
A moment later, it sensed someone behind it and turned around, shooting its target a sharp gaze .
A horrible pressure suddenly descended on the area .
The gold shrimp was at the Almighty Realm . And, apparently, it did not think that a human could appear here .
The illusion at the entrance of the hole, not to mention the stone bridge after it, had stopped many Divine Soul Realm experts of its oceanic species .
Yet, this low and weak human was here… How could he have reached this place?
After looking at that human for a while, the gold shrimp didn’t sense anything interesting . It turned back around, rolling its eyes in the process as it looked into the distance .
It was standing by a cliff, which had a massive valley underneath .
The valley stood in the middle of many mountain ranges, empty and silent .
This valley did not have the brown soil Bu Fang saw on his way here . Instead, it had many green trees and foliage . The trees were so tall that they reached the sky .
“Is this the place my ancestor tried hard to find, the secret domain? To seek transcendence in this world?”
The gold shrimp spoke human language .

Bu Fang was a little astonished . They were all shrimps, but why were they so different?
Buzz…
Gold light shot outward .
The gold shrimp suddenly began to transform, and soon after, it became a human .
Bu Fang’s pupils dilated after witnessing the shrimp transform into a handsome, blonde, young man, who was clad in gold armor .
Why did even shrimps act so differently?
His Shrimpy, for example, was only good at sleeping . However, this gold shrimp could talk and transform .
When the blonde, young man sensed Bu Fang’s look of surprise, he cocked his head at him .
“Human, know your place and leave . This is not a place you can visit . With your power, the thing here isn’t something you can dream of,” said the blonde, young man .
His voice was filled with disdain . In the young, blond man’s eyes, Bu Fang was just too weak to garner his interest .
What he wanted was to find the chance that his ancestor had always wanted .
This same chance had caused his ancestor, an almost-invincible existence in the Endless Sea, to suffer while searching for it .
Since his ancestor did not find it, he could only find it now to make his ancestor’s effort worth it .
Bu Fang acted as if he didn’t notice the shrimp’s disdain . He stepped on the hanging cliff, and then, from its dangerously high cliff, he jumped .
The seawater around moved with his body, becoming a bed of water, which embraced his body as he moved forward .
As he moved, the water bed reflected dots of light emanating from the glowing lava above it, making it look dazzling and magnificent .
The young man’s beautiful blonde hair fluttered as he hovered in the sky . He looked aloof and elegant . Clasping his hands, he stepped on the water .
Suddenly, the young man’s face stiffened .
Bu Fang’s pupils dilated .
Rumble! Rumble!
The water bed seemed to lose control, and everything surged downward like a torrential downpour .
The young man couldn’t hover in the sky anymore, and with a light swish, he fell into the valley below .
The sudden incident scared the blonde man, and the clumsy gestures he had made in panic looked funny .
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched .
He released his mental force . Immediately, he sensed a strange wave of energy in the void .
This valley… forbade people from flying .
As the cliff was dozens of meters, the blonde man’s fall would not end well for him .
But what did it matter?
Acting cool in front of Bu Fang… It was lucky that he did not decide to boil it and eat .
Bu Fang took a deep breath and dashed forward . When he reached the cliff, he raised one foot up, and with a loud swish, he leaped off the cliff .
His lean figure made an arc in the sky as he fell . His descent was so fast that he turned into a beam of light .
Bu Fang’s Vermillion Robe fluttered, and the velvet rope tying his hair broke, causing his hair to flutter about in the wind .
Boom!
He landed with a loud blast as his fall had created an enormous crater in the ground .
The blonde man coughed and crawled up from the crater . He looked at Bu Fang in embarrassment .
However, his cold and aloof demeanor soon surfaced .
“Human, I’m Ao Bai, third Crown Prince of Gold Shrimp Tribe in the Endless Sea . What happened today, you’re not allowed to speak of it . Otherwise, you will not like the consequences!” The blonde man coldly gazed at Bu Fang as he said that .
“Well, there’s a gold shrimp I often dip into my wok . I wonder if that little fellow is somehow related to you…” Bu Fang said, the corners of his lips rising .
Of course, he had not considered the shrimp’s threat for even a second .
The blonde man was momentarily stunned, and then, he became enraged .
This fellow actually dared to dip a gold shrimp from its tribe into a pot?! A fat thief with guts!
However, Bu Fang was no longer paying any attention to the young man . He had just seen the bronze palace, and this made his expression serious .
However, as soon as he took several steps forward, a sonic boom erupted in the sky above him .
Boom!
Terrifying waves of air expanded!
Suddenly, a giant demon scorpion with sparkling, red eyes appeared .
