Chapter 1045: Chapter 1039: Cunning Clown
“Hm?” (Is there something wrong?)
End Abyss looked down at David Jones’s chest.
David Jones took out the glowing Innocence, only feeling that the heavy force his body was enduring was instantly reduced by half.
It’s known that the Heavenly Emperor Relic requires Legendary Beast Tamers to enter precisely because of the extraordinarily high gravity inside the relic, which is dozens of times stronger than that of Sapphire Star.
Even Epic Physique Cultivators, who train their bodies specifically, would still find it difficult to move within the Heavenly Emperor Relic. Only Legendary Beast Tamers who have cultivated the Legendary Body can explore the relic for extended periods.
“Innocence seems to be able to offset some of the relic’s suppression.”
Feeling the change in Innocence, David Jones subconsciously looked toward the southeast.
At the end of that direction, there was something that piqued Innocence’s interest.
“Ee?” (Shall we go and take a look?)
Rainbow offered proactively.
Seeing the curiosity on the little ones’ faces, David Jones nodded.
“We can take a look.”
Unless they were unlucky enough to run into a rare spatial storm, there were almost no threats in the Flatflow Region that could endanger Rainbow and the others.
Perhaps due to changing the direction of their journey, David Jones encountered a Grade VII Epic mesona “Golden Sand Flower” after traveling thousands of miles toward the southeast.
It was a golden spirit flower in full bloom, each petal covered with pure golden sand, emitting a faint glow, especially conspicuous in the dim relic.
“Are they fishing for the law?”
David Jones glanced at the small mound slightly raised beside the Golden Sand Flower.
Through his Golden Eyes of Flame, he could see a Shadow Beast with a strange aura lurking in the shadows of the mound, ready to pounce and ambush at any moment.
Unlike the common beast forms on Sapphire Star, this Shadow Beast was of medium size, its body wispy and uncertain, as if composed of countless flowing shadows and phantasms.
What was most eye-catching was its head, which bore a laughably silly clown face, its smile eerily cold, and its wide-open mouth seemingly mocking prey that walked into its trap.
“Species Name”: Cunning Clown
“Type”: Demon Shadow Series
“Species Level”: Emperor
“Grade”: Class VIII lower-level
“Species Skill”: Cunning Mockery, Clown’s Shadow Box, Shadow Blades Dual Stab, Shadow Tricks,
“Introduction”: An aggregate of fallen spirits from the Ancient Age, tainted by the trickery of the Primordial Demon God, giving rise to a Shadow Beast that is sinister, cunning, and adept at deception.
Note: Shadow Beasts are a special form of life situated between beasts and Mysterious Beasts; if they leave the Heavenly Emperor Relic, they can fully transform into Calamity Mysterious Beasts.
“That’s interesting; the suppression within the Heavenly Emperor Relic might be intended to contain the birth of Mysterious Beasts,” David Jones mused thoughtfully.
“Hiss!”
Seeing that David Jones was not falling for the trap, the Cunning Clown’s mouth gaped even wider, still stupidly standing in place without initiating an ambush.
Upon seeing this, David Jones couldn’t help but laugh.
In the Federation of Trainer Guild’s records, the Cunning Clown has another nickname – “Motionless” – which means that as long as the Trainer doesn’t trigger the traps set by the Cunning Clown, it won’t attack, even when passing right in front of it.
“Ee?” (Can it really be that foolish?)
Rainbow appeared curiously above the small mound, yet the Cunning Clown still did not make a move.
“Alright, let’s not waste any more time.”
David Jones reached out to pluck the Golden Sand Flower, and the Cunning Clown let out a strange laughter, then weaved through the shadows, its shadow-formed blades instantly stabbing towards David Jones’s heart.
David Jones’s expression remained unchanged as he extended his finger to collide head-on with the incoming shadow blade.
Boom!
David Jones did not channel Arcane Force; relying solely on the immense strength granted by his Body of the Azure Dragon, he easily crushed the shadow blade, but his attack on the Cunning Clown didn’t cause even the slightest ripple.
“As expected, Shadow Beasts are completely immune to physical damage.”
Seeing this, David Jones’s interest was piqued, and Arcane Force surged out from within him like a tide, condensing into a colossal palm that smashed down fiercely.
“Hiss!”
The Cunning Clown’s eyes bulged, unflinching and unwavering, as it transformed into an illusory shadow, and then a sudden feeling of weakness violently burst forth from the depths of David Jones’s brain.
“A curse, huh.”
After testing the Cunning Clown’s strength with two exchanges, David Jones immediately lost interest.
“Heavenly Thunderbolts.”
As soon as he spoke, a tremendously mighty thunderbolt struck down, hitting the Cunning Clown and eliciting a frenzied scream from it.
The next second, the lightning dissipated, and at that moment, the Cunning Clown’s phantom form turned into rolling black smoke and was annihilated.
“Squeak.” (Seems kind of impressive.)
Goldy commented.
Struck by that Heavenly Thunderbolt, even an Eighth-Rank Peak Emperor would fall instantly, yet this lower-level Class VIII Shadow Beast managed to hold on for three whole seconds. Its astonishing survival ability could even compare with a Semi-Immortal of the same Class.
“Normal, the Cunning Clown is one of the more troublesome Shadow Beasts. Even the strong ones from the Federation of Trainer Guild wouldn’t easily provoke it if they encountered one inside a Relic,” David Jones said with a light chuckle.
Despite only being a lower-level Class VIII Shadow Beast, the Cunning Clown, with its powerful curse ability and a phantom body immune to physical damage, would be hard to kill by even a Deity Beast Trainer unless faced by a Supreme Deity.
“Ee.” (Boring.)
Rainbow slightly lowered its head.
It didn’t understand why David Jones paid special attention to a mere clown.
“Let’s keep moving.”
Noticing Innocence’s restlessness, David Jones spoke up.

…
Three days later, David Jones successfully traversed the Flatflow Region of the Heavenly Emperor Relic and arrived at the extremely dangerous Confluence Region.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roar continued incessantly.
Gazing at the chaotic world torn into countless pieces by spatial storms in the distance, a trace of amazement flashed in David Jones’s eyes.
Because even before entering the Confluence Region, he could distinctly feel the overwhelming Domination of the spatial storms sweeping heaven and earth.
“Ee.” (Instant Teleportation can’t be used here.)
Rainbow said with a grave expression.
Upon hearing this, David Jones turned his gaze towards Lolo.
“Chirp.” (I also can’t wield the power of Space.)
Lolo’s little hand shone with silver-white spatial ripples, which collapsed and dissipated in the next second.
“It seems we can only wait for the spatial storm to enter its waning phase, then move slowly forward through the Heavenly Palace.”
David Jones’s gaze moved to the stately Heavenly Palaces emanating a soft glow amidst the storm, seemingly isolating the clamor and turmoil of the outside world.
With their strength, it wasn’t difficult to forcefully make their way through the spatial storm to reach the Heavenly Palace on the other side.
But the rampaging storm would bring numerous Shadow Beasts, among which might even appear Quasi-Divine Shadow Beasts.
Although it was David Jones’s first entry into the Heavenly Emperor Relic, with the information provided by President Will, he could roughly estimate that the spatial storm’s waning phase would be about a week.
“Hum!”
At that moment, sensing David Jones had stopped, Innocence trembled slightly, voluntarily radiating a dazzling golden light that entered the Heavenly Palace, causing the nearby terrifying spatial storm to pause for a second and opened up a shining golden light path.
