Chapter 1856 - Western Tomb Realm
Western Tomb Realm, this was a tomb!
After endless time passed, all information regarding it already became unclear.
Everyone knew that even in the outer regions of Western Tomb Realm, archaic vicious beast remains were piled up like mountains.
There were great mounds everywhere, any random one of them a burial mound of a vicious bird or a ferocious beast. After endless years, there were many problems, strange things happening from time to time.
Along the way, they advanced in a grandiose fashion, gradually approaching that region.
“I already told you all that Western Tomb Realm is extremely dangerous. When this old one went inside before, I saw it taking form, a heaven-defying process. You all absolutely cannot be careless.” Third Blackie said, half showing off, half as a real warning.
What it said wasn’t entirely false. Back then, when Western Tomb Realm first took form, forming a world, there were already divine kings, heavenly deities, and others taking form, terrifying to the extreme.
In the past, Shi Hao, the big black turtle, and others secretly watched everything, avoiding those indistinct and strange creatures, and only then did they cross it safely.
Otherwise, if they truly dared to clash head-on, not even bones would remain after they died.
After all these years, they didn’t know what was happening in Western Tomb Realm now. It definitely became even more frightening after all these years.
Shi Hao’s impression of this place was extremely deep, the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram was dug up precisely from this place, previously located on that altar. Back then, there were several other objects that rested next to the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram, but it was the only object he acquired.
“We will be careful!” Shi Zhong nodded. He was full of confidence, but he didn’t become complacent.
“Uncle Turtle, don’t worry, we aren’t flowers from greenhouses. If there are any tribulations, they can just come, we should sharpen ourselves a bit too.” Zhu Lin said with a laugh, purposely livening up the atmosphere.
When they heard her say this, everyone smiled.
“If you all aren’t greenhouse flowers, then who are?”
Only the crimson dragon put on airs, its face darkening, not playing along. It was because it truly hated ‘Great Master Nephew’, these three words, wishing to beat these fellas down a notch.
“Great Master Nephew, what are you trying to say? Do you not believe us?” Zhu Lin giggled.
“Foolish little girl, what have you seen before? Only today did you truly fight to the death with others, right?” The crimson dragon retorted.
It admitted that the Demonic Cattail Tree wasn’t weak. Being able to kill it already proved Zhu Lin was outstanding. After all, the Demonic Cattail Tree was a type of special creature, once one matured, tens of millions of creatures would die, along its evolutionary path, corpses would pile up, their essence absorbed. Through this type of growth process, it was impossible to not become stronger, even if it didn’t want to.
“Master Nephew, are you bullying me because my age is less? This is where you are wrong. Forget about the Demonic Cattail Tree, even opponents who were a thousand times stronger, ten thousand times stronger, I have seen them. No matter how cruel the slaughter in this world, before my eyes, they aren’t much. The so-called greenhouse flowers, it is more suitable for yourself.” Zhu Lin had a smile on her face.
However, these calm words immediately made this group of youngsters become quiet.
When they were young, what did they not experience? The undying beings attacked their cities, the seven kings fought back, true immortals died…
It was too miserable!
The crimson dragon said, “You foolish little girl, what could you have experienced?”
“I came from the original Emperor City, ate the corpses of the enemy ever since I was born There were vicious birds, fierce beasts, even the weakest were heavenly deity level vicious existences. We chewed through supreme beings, even chunks of undying beings’ flesh!” Zhu Lin said indifferently.
“Nonsense! With just a little girl like you, you wanted to eat that type of powerful being? Even a drop of blood would be enough to kill you!” The crimson dragon was unconvinced.
“Hah!” Zhu Lin laughed, becoming a bit emotional. “If you were born in the original Emperor City that had been trapped for an entire great era, from past until now, only fought against the other side, I believe that forget about the flesh of ancient beasts, we’ve even eaten the corpses of humans. Ever since I was born, the giant city’s spiritual veins had already dried up, no plants, no spiritual medicines, no normal food. There were only corpses, other than this, what else were we supposed to eat?!”
Shi Hao released a sigh. This was reality. He had previously entered that city, seen how cruel it was.
All of the children were like this, no exception. They wore tattered beast clothes, all of them dirty, covered in bloodstains.
They could only survive by eating those corpses. Fortunately, they had powerful seniors, one of the seven kings was still alive, helping them refine away all types of killing intent in those corpses, as well as the harmful substances.
This was also the reason why their bodies were so tough, the reason why Shi Hao had such great hopes for them when he brought them out. Children raised under those circumstances, in the future, their accomplishments definitely wouldn’t be low.
Comparatively speaking, even the crimson dragon, a descendant of the Vicious Ten, seemed like he grew up in a much more greenhouse environment.
“I’ve eaten supreme being meat, even tasted immortal blood. Unfortunately, back then, I was still too little, even after all of the killing intent was refined away by the seniors, as well as the things that could injure our foundations, I could still only eat a very small amount, moreover diluted in water.” Shi Zhong added.
“You all are now only thirty-six or seven, at that time, you were only three or four years old, what can you all remember?!” The crimson dragon didn’t really believe this.
“At that time, I was already twelve or thirteen, I remember things well. If I say this, you should believe it, right?” On the side, Mu Qing said.
“Let’s stop here. One day, I will bring you all to the other side, get revenge for all of your ancestors!” Shi Hao said.
There were some things he wasn’t willing to recall again. When he entered the original Emperor City, there were flames burning one after another, the corpses of the undying beings, remains of true immortals as well. They were burned, the essence extracted to maintain what the ancient city needed. The battle was too miserable, it was a segment of bloody history.
The crimson dragon now completely believed them. Through Shi Hao’s expression, through the downcast expressions of those youngsters, it was sure that these terrifying things really were true.
“This time, I’ll admit I was wrong.” It rarely lowered its head in apology.
“It’s fine. Master Nephew, we’ve also had our wrongs. When we were young, we drank the blood of evil dragons, so when we saw you, we secretly thought that the taste of True Dragons should be about the same.” Zhu Lin giggled.
The crimson dragon’s face immediately fell, becoming dark again.
It was clear that Zhu Lin’s mood was still lively, not too depressed.
There was a monument standing by Western Tomb Realm. When one went further in, they would step into a mysterious region.
The entire world was dark. When they entered this place, a wave of gloomy aura poured out.
A Taowu suddenly rushed out, opening its bloody mouth. It was like a small mountain, incredibly massive, its claws slashing towards everyone. Malevolent energy surged, making this place tremble.
Peng!
Shi Zhong took action, a fist smashing out, striking it back.
Sure enough, it was just like the big black tortoise said. This creature was extremely strong, many of them at the Heavenly Deity Realm. In the lower realms, this was really unimaginable.
“It is much more dangerous than before!” Third Blackie said.
In the past, when they came here, the wills of the creatures here were all blurry, they wouldn’t take the initiative to attack others. As long as one was more careful, then there wouldn’t be any dangers.
However, it was now different. They already began to take the initiative to attack outsiders!
“Why do I feel like things aren’t quite right? It seems to be half tangible, half spirit?” Shi Zhong said.
Shi Hao nodded. It was just like this. The spirits interweaved here, just like the initial stages of the Void God Realm.
Those heavenly deities and ancient beasts appeared through remnant spirit, forming a mysterious country, a realm of their own.
Of course, there was definitely strangeness involved here, or else these warring souls definitely couldn’t achieve this on their own. A spiritual country isn’t something that could be created just because one wanted to.
“Ao…” A fierce tiger roared.
When they entered the depths of Western Tomb Realm, a white tiger stepped on starry clouds, slaughtering its way over from the outside world, throwing itself at everyone.
At the same time, ancient trees towered into the heavens all around them, giant mountains rested imposingly. This was a primitive and savage scene. There were all types of flying birds and vicious beasts on the great earth, all of their blood energies overflowing into the heavens, locking onto them.
“This place isn’t bad, it is a true land for training men!” Shi Hao nodded.
There were just too many vicious beasts, for example, True Hou, Pi Xiu, Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, Thousand Armed Giant, Taotie, Lightning Lion… all types of legendary species here.
Many of them were at the heavenly deity level. Apart from these, there were even higher level creatures.
Back then, Shi Hao had also seen these creatures before, but they never took the initiative to attack him, yet now, it was completely different.
“Kill!”
They didn’t turn back, they were here to train themselves to begin with. Under Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, Shi Zhong, and the others’ lead, they charged forward, incredibly ferocious.
Shi Hao followed along. His brows gradually furrowed.
As they charged in, even though the enemies were powerful, they were still pushing forward, heading deeper inside.
Along the way, medicinal fragrance wafted about. There was a silver lightning tree that was incomparably brilliant, swirling with electrical radiance, filled with lightning fruits, strongly fragrant, making everyone drool with desire.
Apart from this, there was Dragon Tongue Grass that carried sparkling dew, growing in a great expanse, full of a sweet scent.
“This is a good place! There are actually all types of divine herbs!”
“You all cannot randomly eat them!” Third Blackie warned. The fruits and other things here were half real half fake, the most important thing was that they contained toxins, carried death energy, extremely deadly. Back then, it almost died after eating just half of one.
The further in they went, the deeper Shi Hao’s brows furrowed, vaguely sensing that the situation was strange, that something wasn’t quite right.
When they arrived in the depths of Western Tomb Realm, those creatures had pretty much completely become spirits, all of them like primordial spirits. The plants and others were vivid and lifelike, the giant mountains majestic, but everything was made from spiritual force.
“This place is just like Void God Realm!” Swan Saint said.
“Kill!”
Mu Qing, Shi Zhong, Zhu Lin and others took the lead, like a group of vicious beasts descending a mountain. Their auras were powerful, killing intent heaven overflowing, all of them extremely brave, pressing forward.
“Over there!” Shi Hao was shocked. He saw some of the truth. Up ahead, the skies were hazy with radiance, there was a path.
Western Tomb Realm merged with a world, a gate opened.
Shi Hao’s figure disappeared with a flash, directly rushing in. He wanted to obtain confirmation, that type of feeling left him extremely uneasy.
Void God Realm!
Western Tomb Realm actually merged with Void God Realm, refining a path.
“The destination leads directly to Darkness Prison!” Shi Hao’s mind surged, pounding intensely. Western Tomb Realm was half spirit half tangible, even his flesh was starting to integrate together.
Then, after exerting a bit of force, his flesh made it through. He stood there, feeling as if he entered a swamp.
His primordial spirit left his body, sending his body flying out again. The primordial spirit shone, advancing forward.
“With Western Tomb Realm as the foundation, as a key, Void God Realm’s shackles are trying to be undone, opening the prison?” He shivered inwardly, feeling more and more uneasy.
The lower realms were a terrifying prison to begin with, buried within tremendous secrets. Only Immortal Domain’s most ancient inheritances had detailed recordings, only immortal kings knowing the truth.
