Chapter 1472 - Rising Up in Revolt
Several li, for them, was but a very close distance. They could rush over with a single step, leave this burial region just like that.
Suddenly, the female knight staggered, almost falling. Her body swayed about, immediately stopping, unable to continue.
“What’s wrong?” Shi Hao was startled.
“This region has problems, greatly affecting undead knights, I… feel the yin energy within my body surge. I cannot proceed any further.” The young lady said.
At this moment, her true body was covered in black mist. When they left this holy land, death energy surrounded the outside of her body, covered in dark clouds, the divine and auspiciousness all disappearing.
Undead knights were a mysterious race. Even though they didn’t like sunlight, they didn’t fear it either, they could enter any type of environment. Meanwhile, she encountered a restriction here.
What was going on? The two of them revealed shocked expressions.
“No wonder the immortal medicine led us here, it seems like it knew this place can deal with undead knights. The place ahead is definitely harmful for you, you should stay behind.” Shi Hao said.
That long life tree was extremely lowly, wishing to deal with the two of them.
Shi Hao was unaffected because he wasn’t an undead knight. Right now, he was in skeleton form.
“I remember, this place is a restricted region for undead knights, adjacent to our holy land!” The female undead knight said.
It was because this holy land had been abandoned, no undead knights coming here anymore. All of them pretty much forgot about that legend.
Holy earth was accompanied by vile earth!
The so-called vile earth was precisely adjacent to this place!
“There was this type of saying?” Shi Hao was shocked.
“When undead knights are asleep, their place where they reside is carefully chosen, only a few vile earths able to restrict us, this place ought to be one of them. Of course, for a powerful Golden Undead Knight, the effects of vile earth are also practically negligible.” The female undead knight said.
“You all, wait here, I’m going inside!” Shi Hao had her return. They were drawn to this type of place by a stalk of medicine, and it even wanted to continue leading them by the nose, Shi Hao’s expression wasn’t that pleasant.
He prepared to enter by himself, personally catch the immortal medicine.
“You need to be careful, the vile earth isn’t some auspicious place for us undead knights, but I don’t know if it will affect you all too!” The female undead knight warned.
“It should be fine, or else I would have sensed something a while ago. Moreover, this is a chance. I’ll pretend that I am affected and stagger my way over, maybe it can drop that medicine’s guard, catch it this way.” Shi Hao snickered.
The female undead knight didn’t say any more, backing up, heading towards that ancient dao platform. She wanted to see if there were any great opportunities there.
This region really was incredibly strange. There were plants inside, but it wasn’t full of life, lacking animals, to the extent where not even an insect could be seen. It was completely silent.
Wind blew past. This was a chilly and desolate place.
Shi Hao staggered over, several times almost falling, but he was still getting closer, entering that ancient land.
That stalk of immortal medicine appeared several times, walking and stopping, wishing to lead him deeper.
“When I catch you, I’m going to leave the roots, but the tender shoots are all going to be made into a pot of immortal pills!” Shi Hao grumbled. This immortal medicine was just too daring, continuously provoking him.
Yi?
Suddenly, Shi Hao was shocked. There were traces up ahead, covered densely in black spots, forming strange patterns.
These spots were separately distributed on the ground, extremely vast, nothing much could be seen when he walked close. However, Shi Hao felt like this should be a diagram that represented the laws of this place.
He jumped up, entering the skies, looking down. His body immediately shook!
When those patterns were viewed together, it was actually a black skull, extremely sinister and strange. This was formed from the black earth on the ground.
He quickly descended, feigning to be staggering a few more times. It was because he didn’t know if that immortal medicine was still nearby.
Shi Hao began to think to himself. This black skull was exactly the same as the marking on that beast skin diagram he saw in Imperial Pass. At that time, they thought that it was a warning sign, now, it seemed like it was a real pattern!
Did he finally reach that ancient land?
Divine Medicine Mountain Range, Heavenly Beast Forest, Ancient Burial Region, the place the three surrounded was precisely that place of natural luck, as well as Shi Hao’s objective for this trip.
Previously, he thought that the female undead knight was leading him to a holy land, he never expected to end up here!
Vile earth!
He shivered inwardly again here. Just what kind of place was this exactly? What was hidden here?
The foreign creatures should know a few things. Previously, it was precisely them who were looking around, wishing to come here, while the restricted regions of the Nine Heavens should also know a few things, also wanting to come and investigate.
“This place should be extremely terrifying. If I enter recklessly, it will be extremely difficult to make it out alive!” Shi Hao said to himself.
Until now, even though he entered, nothing dangerous happened.
Moreover, that long life tree also came, wishing to draw them into the innermost depths. Could it be that this stalk of medicine knew this place’s secrets?
After advancing a bit of distance, Shi Hao didn’t continue forward. He was worried that something bad might happen, moreover, the reason he even came this far was for the immortal medicine.
He staggered a bit, becoming weaker and weaker, completely imitating the female undead knight’s state. In the end, he even searched for a place to fall down, and then he stopped moving.
Would baiting the immortal medicine like this be of any use? Shi Hao didn’t know, he even felt like acting like this was a bit too stupid. That stalk of medicine should be extremely slippery.
This was completely continuing to try everything out of desperation. That medicine will definitely still be on guard for some time, it wouldn’t be easy to catch.
Shi Hao was extremely patient, not moving even after many hours, even retracting all of his life aura. He didn’t move at all.
“Shameless immortal medicine, how can you still stay calm?!” Shi Hao cursed inwardly.
That stalk of medicine didn’t reveal itself from start to finish, as if it disappeared.
Shi Hao was a bit speechless. Was that medicine watching him make a fool of himself? If this really was the case, then it was too hateful.
Suddenly, he heard footstep sounds from the distance!
This left Shi Hao shocked. There were living creatures here?
Before, it was extremely quiet, not even an ant visible. Why did such powerful blood energy fluctuations suddenly appear? The vital force was extremely vigorous.
Was there danger?
Shi Hao wanted to get up, but he endured it.
Soon afterwards, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips, because he knew who it was. When those creatures passed through the region where the black skeleton skull was, everything could be clearly perceived.
Before, with that black skull marking in the way, he actually couldn’t even see sense who it was.
The golden creature was incredibly majestic, comparable to three mountain peaks. It gave off an extremely terrifying oppressive feeling.
These were three lions, all of them as if cast from gold. They were massive, fierce and horrifying, so powerful even space itself seemed to be distorting. There were energy fields protecting their bodies.
However, when the three lions came here, they also became extremely cautious, reducing their body size, turning into around a zhang in height, fearing that bodies that were too massive would easily give them away.
There were three Fearless Lion Clan experts who actually came here, leaving Shi Hao considerably shocked.
“Emperor Clan’s young great one entered first, I really hope he doesn’t seize the opportunities away first!” A golden lion said quietly, voice overcast, extremely worried.
“He has a supreme treasure on him. This time, quite a bit was invested in order for him to come in here without any hindrance, enter first. In the end, the fact that we are able to enter is also partly because of him.” Another golden lion said.
“Everyone thought that he came to kill Huang, only a few people knew that he actually came for the things here!”
The three golden lions conversed quietly, the divine radiance in their eyes like rainbows. Meanwhile, their bodies were also extremely brilliant, throbbing like golden flames.
Shi Hao’s mind jumped. The foreign side’s Emperor Clan’s young great one came for the natural luck here? This made his mind sink, it was best if he could stop the other party from obtaining it first.
“Say, do you think he can obtain it?”
“I think it’s hard to say. After so many years passed, all of the experts who came have failed, leaving behind many corpses. I refused to believe that he is this heaven-defying! Actually, we have to be careful too. If we continue forward, there might be danger to our lives. This place is too terrifying!”
Shi Hao could hear everything from his hidden location. He found it hard to calm down, what exactly was there here?
Right now, the three golden lions approached, none of them noticing the skeleton not far out was a living creature.
It was because Shi Hao retracted all of his life aura, so he looked no different from a set of dried-up bones, difficult for others to tell the difference.
“Huang mysteriously came to Divine Medicine Mountain Range, so he most likely came for this place too!”
“Only a few people have come here, the others all unaware, thinking that we are here to kill Huang. However, in reality, the Emperor Clan individual and Gu Clan’s person’s objectives are both this place!”
When he listened up to here, Shi Hao felt a wave of killing intent within him. They actually all came for this place! If he ran into him, then he’ll just get rid of them along the way.
“I wonder if Huang came here. He is quite frightening, don’t tell me he really is a Golden Undead Knight!”
When they recalled news of Shi Hao walking together with an undead knight, all of their expressions became ugly.
“Impossible. He is the Nine Heavens Ten Earths’ creature, we are certain of this. The one from Imperial Pass has given us sufficient proof!” A golden lion said.
“The strength he displayed really is too powerful, it is best if we can kill him to avoid future disasters, avoid him entering my clan to settle things!” Another golden lion said coldly.
The killing intent within Shi Hao became stronger. He understood these golden lions’ misgivings.
It was because the Fearless Lion race came from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, originally not a foreign creature. However, in the end, before the great battle of the last era, they defected over to this side.
The effects of this were severe, causing many other powerful clans to also defect.
Moreover, when the true great battle descended, they were extremely vicious, helping the foreign side attack the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, killing countless creatures, their hands soaked in blood.
“What is there to be scared of? It’s just one Huang, he still hasn’t grown up yet. He’ll be killed sooner or later!” A golden lion said coldly.
“Exactly, there’s nothing to worry about. Moreover, there’s no need for us to fear him either. Forget about the seniors, even in this generation, my clan has produced someone who retraced his ancestry, he should have the strength to stop him!” The other golden lion nodded.
The divine flame in Shi Hao’s skull glowed slightly. He didn’t want to continue waiting, wanted to take action, kill the three golden lions here.
One of them was just too close to him, having its back to him.
Hong!
Shi Hao jumped up, instantly arriving. A palm descended like a heavenly blade, drawing out a dazzling streak of blade radiance.
“Who?!” The three golden lions were all on guard, immediately sensing that something was off. They hurriedly activated great divine abilities to intercept this attack.
However, it was a bit too late. The lion that was targeted by Shi Hao screamed miserably. Even though it avoided getting hit in the vitals, its tail was cut off, blood splashing everywhere.
Moreover, Shi Hao was like a flash of light, arriving forward. His fist smashed downwards, striking its back.
“You dare!” The other two lions roared out.
The golden lion who was struck erupted with divine radiance, using its divine force to crazily attack.
This was an extremely powerful golden lion, long possessing Self Severing Realm cultivation. However, in the end, it still suffered greatly, because there was no way it could move faster than Shi Hao.
Pu!
Shi Hao’s fist blasted through its body, sending golden blood splashing out.
Chi!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao grabbed its neck, capturing it alive, and then quickly backed up.
“Tell me everything else you all know, or else I will definitely kill it!” Shi Hao said coldly. He wanted to know what laid in this piece of vile earth.
At the same time, he didn’t have any good intentions towards the Fearless Lion bloodline. Back then, this clan contributed to evil, severely wounding the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, it really was a great bloodthirsty clan that was beyond vicious.
“Huang, stop!” The other two lions were both shocked, not expecting it to be him, recognizing his identity from the primordial spirit light.
Pu!
Shi Hao didn’t say anything. An arm descended, directly removing one of the legs of the captured golden lion, blood gushing everywhere.
“If you waste any more time, I am going to directly slaughter it!” Shi Hao said coldly.
