Chapter 134 Emergence
After the fight the previous day, Alexander was won out and tired to the point that he could not do what he intended to do the previous day.
He slept like a baby, if it wasn't for Liam coming to knock on his door then he might have still be sleeping by now.
"What happened.' Liam could not help but ask, for Alexander to be this worn out it means he has done something really tiring.
"Don't worry it's nothing." Alexander replied with a smile as they walked toward the cafeteria, Alexander bought the most expensive dish and also ordered for Liam.
Those who did not know of their relationship thought that they were younger brother and older brother.
Only those who attended the contest seated were able to tell that Liam was a peerless genius hiding in the body of a young boy, he was the first person to finish his pill, even the best alchemist and the best alchemist king was so amazed by his talent that they sang praises of his name as though he was there mentor.
"He's the youngest alchemist in the contest and has the highest potential of winning." Some of them whispered to each other and those who did not know beforehand held their mouth with their hands.
Their gazes toward the two of them changed, Liam especially, all of them sent respectful gaze towards him, his future can already be determined at a young age, capable for forging pills more than the old men participating in the contest.
There was only one percentage of purity remaining for it reach 90% which was already a blazing start.
Liam did not bother with the gazes on him, his eyes was staring at the food on the table it has a weird appearance that might make him throw up, however after tasting it his impression of it transformed. it was really yummy.
After eating the two of them headed toward the place the contest will be taking place, they meant that it was already starting but they weren't late because there was others walking to their designated cauldron on different stands on the stage.
When Liam was seen on the stage, everyone present yesterday started hailing his name.
The population here was at least times two hundred of the people present at grained earth kingdom alchemy contest, also all of them were at least up to two million, the ordinary persons without cultivation among them was up to 1.4 million while the others were cultivator who have reached notable cultivation realms.
"Today the contestants will be forging blazing blood pill..." Nevertheless before this person could complete what she was about to say, her eyes caught something ahead it was so enormous and there was also a human like figure moving ahead of it. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
.....
Inside the forest, the strange voices kept o. resounding, if was like the voices in haunted house in horror movies, carrying a large amount of killing intention and the voice was so fearful and seems to contain a large amount of sorrow that will make someone with cold personality to start crying.
It was coming from no other being than the serpent queen, an entity with enormous body and a large amount of tentacles that have their own life, she can be referred to a tree of life, the branches are the tentacles that have their own life and what they did throughout their life was protect ans fight for the serpent queen.
In grained earth kingdom, there has been a large number of earthquake.
Those at the hunter guild knew of what was befalling the people and immediately started sending the citizens of the kingdom out through flying mediums to a safer place.
"Gather all the hunters with good cultivation, the transportation unit should take care of taking the women and children and women away, the serpent queen have started reacting and would be out anytime soon."
The hunter guild leader announced.
Other guilds like the alchemist and the merchant guild also joined hands with the hunter guild to take the people of grained kingdom away, the serpent queen is an entity they did not want to mess with.
All they could do now was protect the next generation from the harm that is about to befall them, if anything was wrong with the Future generation how wood be current generation be able to continue with their daily life.
It took several hours to completely send the people of grained earth kingdom away, after they were done with this they sent out their strongest cultivators armed with their best weapons as they stood gallantly in front of the towers and fenses waiting for the serpent queen to emerge.
Thump thump
The earthquake drew nearer and the strange sound also because louder, the cultivators prepared to fight started having second thoughts and started questioning their own boldness to be able to stage a fight with a monster as strong as the serpent queen.
The leader of all the guilds in the kingdom were all at the transcending human realm, the leader of the hunter guild was the strongest, he stepped into the realm few years back.
The other have been in the transcending human realm for sometime now, only the alchemy guild leader recently stepped into the transcending human realm several days ago.
The thumping got louder, soon the sound of tree falling was also heard.
Everyone swallowed, sooner or later they will be seeing the serpent queen, what await them was calamity but it was advisable that they fight to save time for the children and women to reach their destination.
Even if they were to die, their death would be tagged as honourable, the future generations will leave to remember the generation that saved their lives.
Soon the first tentacle shot out of the forest and took the body of one hunter, the others tried to save the other hunter by dragging him.
"Let go of me... waaa, I don't want to die." The younger hunter could not help but cry as he did not want to die like this, the other hunters have tears in their eyes as their fellow hunter cried for his life which was on the verge of death.
They say life only path was death, human can only avoid death by stepping into the immortal stage of cultivation.
At that stage they will be able to defy the logic of humanism, death will no longer be possible naturally unless they are killed by their enemies or poison.
Nevertheless at the peak of immortal stage of cultivation, an immortal's body will be able to deflect magic attacks on it's own, the healing rate will increase and they will also have an anti poison in their body.
"Let him go, all archers prepare the best arrows, we'll be launching an attack on this vile beast anytime soon" The leader of the hunter guild announced.
"The other clans are coming, the royal palace of grained earth kingdom is sending their army to join hands with us here, try your best to hold on to your life as tightly as you can" The leader of the hunter guild annoyingly and summoned multiple energy spear behind him.
He muttered something and all the Spears flew toward the forest, it burnt down the tress still standing and then started piercing the body of the serpent queen that was displayed the moment the trees fell to the ground and burnt to ashes.
"Humans," The serpent queen let out a mocking roar, her voice was akin to a demon that has just incarnated in the body of a human being, that soul piercing scream and the blood thirsty eyes.
The head of the serpent queen was displayed, it was greenish and also have a little bit of humaness in it, the appearance alone made some of the weaked will soldiers to fall to the ground with fears in their eyes.
The pressure released by this serpent queen was so much.
Just like they have anticipated, each of her tentacles have the cultivation power ranging from human lord to transcending human realm.
They could not accurately tell how strong she really is because there has never been anything like it in the surface of the earth, it is a calamity that first appear in this generation.
No one even the vilest person on earth will be able to pray that such an existence originate once again.
