Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded out and a hole was left on the spot he was just standing.
I have to get in touch with Jin’er, Brother Bai and Senior Martial Sister Jun first then decide what to do later!
He charged right at the exit to the palace. In this palace, there were a total of nine levels, each being a seal that contained sinister spirits but only those who attempted to enter would have to go through the tests from these spirits, not those who want to exit.
It did not take long until he finally arrived at the outside but his heart sank to the bottom.
Qiu Jin’er, Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai each had a totem pillar with them but now, he could only get in touch with Bai Canghai!
“Did something bad happened to them?”
His heart felt heavy and suddenly, a blizzard stormed down in a radius of thousand miles around him and the atmosphere became cold and dangerous.
And wherever he went, wherever became entirely frozen.
If the Sword Master and the others were still alive, they would be shivering in fear by now and they would avoid Zhong Yue at all costs as this clearly showed that the Skeleton King Zhong was greatly enraged and his killing intent was so strong that it condensed into a blizzard storm!
The environment in Ancient Land of Gods Grave was not as harsh as everyone thought but instead, it had a very pleasant scenery and it was very calm and peaceful.
Far away, the mountains were very unique as well; when looked at from afar, these mountains were surrounded by one after another divine rays and it was probably the doings of the ancient ones.
Everything was too beautiful, but at the same time, everyone knew that danger lurked everywhere within this place.
It had already been one year since the discovery of the bloodied skeleton god and as days passed, everyone slowly forgot about this and now, the god surfaced again.
Rumours had it that this sinister god escaped from his realm and slain Skill Master in one strike!
The Ancient Land of Gods Grave was a vast place with abundant secrets; the ancient ones researched the Six Path Reincarnation at this place and tested on their theories here in order to search for a quickest path to Six Path and the Reincarnation.
No one knew how many realms were hidden in this ancient place and each and every single one of these realms had their unique traits as some of them were used to investigate the power of Six Path and the power of Six Path had different sub categories, which was the Dao Yi, Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang, Wu Xing, and Bloodline. The same went to the power of Reincarnation too; it had countless sub categories and some of them constantly changed form.
Thus, some of these realms would be way too dangerous and some of those natives in the realms were extremely hostile and powerful but there hasn't been any case where they escaped from the realms.
And now, the Blood Bone Evil God ran out from his realm and killed the Skill Master!
Just imagine how shocking the news was!
All these years, whoever survived after entering the Ancient Land of Gods Grave benefited greatly from what they gained in this place; some obtain rapid improvements, some reimbursed the talent they lacked and some obtained priceless treasures.
But there were even more dangers than gain in this place; behind the back of the tales of the successful ones lied countless corpses.
This place was also incredibly huge that from the outside, it looked very average but no one has ever completely traveled around in this place.
“Blood Bone Evil God? A sinister god that came out from his realm?” Someone said on a golden saint mountain, in a small temple where prayers could be heard coming from the pictures hanging on the wall.
The prayers were very complicated and contained endless hidden meanings that were beyond comprehension.
A young man who received news from his followers murmured in surprise, “This is….”
He kept quiet for a moment, stared into the picture on the wall and he said again, “Ever since I arrived at this place, I’ve been listening to the prayers from the picture trying to decipher and learn as much as I can from the prayers about the Six Path Reincarnation. I may have improved my power greatly but I still dare not enter these realms.”
“Qing Dian, why are you so worried about such beings that came out from an realm?” A pretty girl asked.
The young man replied, “Only fools would think that this is no big deal. Little did they know that being able to escape from the realm itself meant that this sinister god had already acquired the secrets of Six Path and Reincarnation yet I am still barely even close to that step.”
Six Path Wheels appeared behind his back suddenly and he said, “Nine times, I’ve been reborn nine times and I was barely even there! This time, I had the opportunity to drink a sip of Reincarnation Water and achieved my sixth realm and after arriving at this place, I increased my strength even further thanks to the prayers but I never manage to do what the sinister god pulled off. Just imagine how strong I’d become if I pulled it off as well. Now, it’s time for us to leave.”
Qing Dian got out from the small temple, got down from the mountain and said, “Let’s go take a look at this sinister god!”
“Eight hundred Qi Practitioners entered the Heavenly Voice Forest to listen to the Heavenly Voice. Among the eight hundred Qi Practitioners, I am the sole survivor.”
In front of a cliff, a lady that been at the same pose without moving at all stood up, looked at her follower and said calmly, “The Heavenly Voice in this forest talks about the Dao achieved by the ancient ones. This Dao is something with high entry level; without necessary requirements, one would only be killed after listening to the Heavenly Voice and I managed to do so because of an unexpected journey that profited me greatly. Ever since then, my true spirit was turned into the innate spirit and the innate spirit was awakened. Do you know what my spirit is?”
“It is the lucky spirit that could sense luck. After turning into the innate spirit, I became the Blessing Innate Spirit Body and now, my senses are tingling and this means that I will gain profit soon enough. This Blood Bone Evil God is closely related to the profit so now, follow me and let’s grab onto this opportunity firmly!”
In a lake far away, a figure came charging out from the lake and he shouted, “The sinister god ran out from the realm because he had the secrets of Six Path and Reincarnation! How can I miss such a precious chance!”
“The Blood Bone Evil God? Came out from the realm?” murmured Li Tianxing as he detoured straight towards Zhong Yue.
“There will be a lot of them that tried to look for trouble with this god and it is the best time for me to profit myself in the chaotic situation!”
Chapter 665: Death Follows Wherever He Goes |
Krong—
A mountainous giant fell back as the light faded from his eyes and a finger-size hole bore through his forehead.
Around him were corpses from many races, each one distinct from the other.
The only thing they had in common was the fact that they were all strong and powerful cultivators, their blood essence didn’t disperse after death but instead gathered together into a pool of blood that soaked their bodies in it.
In the midst of the bloody battlefield, a skeleton was treading across the pool surface, it looked glanced around and mumbled curiously, “Strange, why are these guys swarming over at me? I’m not a treasure or anything, what interest do they have in me?”
The skeleton was none other than Zhong Yue. He still hadn’t reacquired his ‘past life’s’ mortal body and was still holding in his skeleton form. On his way here, he had encountered more than a dozen battles, the Qi Practitioners were trying to take him down for no reason, forcing him to fight back in self-defence.
Thus, a trail of corpses was left behind as he traveled.
“Let the soul return!” As Zhong Yue snapped his fingers, totem patterns rushed out and formed a huge drum that thrummed heavily. Ghost fire hovered above the corpses, imbuing the s
cattered soul of the dead within.
This is the【Drum of Dusk】, a skill Zhong Yue learned in the Bone Realm. It can summon the dead’s scattered soul to interrogate information out from them.
The Bone Realm’s cultivation techniques were usually soul-related, and for him to linger in here for more than 85 years with the dead Prison Realm Realm Lord’s cultivation heritage, how could he not learn a thing or two?
One could even say, his attainments in the soul-related techniques were unmatched by any other than the gods.
“Have you seen these two ladies?” Zhong Yue’s psyche visualized Qiu Jin’er’s and Jun Sixie’s image before them and asked the scattered souls.
The scattered souls shook their head and Zhong Yue frowned. All of a sudden, a loud din reverberated the sky and the ghost fire containing the scattered souls flashed across the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
The loud din came from the Soul Reaping Bell, calling for the souls of the dead to be returned to Hell.
After the loud din, the silhouette of a Gui Shen Celestial Race’s Heavenly Deity emerged in the sky. His body was flickering as though he was situated in a different dimension. The Heavenly Deity smiled at Zhong Yue and warned, “Hey, skeleton, do not interfere with the duties of Hell, or die with no mercy!”
Although Hell was in close relation to the six realms, it was actually in a different dimension than the real world. Zhong Yue was already interfering with the duties of Hell when he cast the【Drum of Dusk】and halted the souls that were meant to return.
Even though this was a forbidden land to the Prison Realm experts, it was nothing to those in Hell as they were in a different dimension. But that at the same time prevented the Hell gods from plundering the treasures of the Ancient Land of the God Graves as they couldn’t enter the real world’s dimension.
Zhong Yue bowed and apologized, he then took out a divine weapon from his Yuan Shen secret realms and handed it over, “May the honourable god forgive my wrongdoings.”
The Heavenly Deity glanced around furtively and in the blink of an eye, kept the divine weapon into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He then put up a stern face and said solemnly, “You will only be spared once. Also, try not to kill too many. It’s only days and you’ve already killed far too much in far too little time. Careful as their teachers and seniors would come to avenge them! You can find me the next time when you run into trouble!”
As soon as he finished saying, the Heavenly Deity of Hell faded away.
This brat, he has already extorted me a dozen times. Zhong Yue shrugged as he thought.
Every time after a battle, he would cast the【Drum of Dusk】to interrogate the Qi Practitioners’ soul for Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie. And every time it would be this Gui Shen Celestial Race’s Heavenly Deity that appeared to warn him, stating that he would not be spared the next time over and over again.
However, he would be spared once he offered another divine weapon to the Heavenly Deity. Zhong Yue has practically made friends with the Heavenly Deity, one way or the other.
Fortunately, although the Heavenly Deity had plundered a dozen divine weapons from him, Zhong Yue still had enough divine weapons to offer to the Heavenly Deity. After all, most of the divine weapons had come from the Qi Practitioners he killed anyway.
Brother Bai shouldn’t be far now, let’s find him first and then search for Qiu Jin’er and Senior Martial Sister Jun Sixie! Zhong Yue took out the totem pillar, communicated with Bai Canghai for his location.
Just as Zhong Yue was going to do the leg work, he suddenly stopped and mumbled helplessly, “I should’ve asked for the Gui Shen Celestial Race’s Heavenly Deity to wait some time, now that I’ll have to blackmail him another time. Sigh, thankfully I have plundered enough divine weapons from you little sheep…”
Far away in front of him, purplish rays filled the sky; on his left, marvellous light rays gleamed over the mountain; on his right, demonic clouds and demonic rays hovered above the sea; and behind him, a rainbow light beam shot across the sky like a rainbow bridge.
Then, a Six Path Wheel condensed within the purplish rays; followed by another marvelous Six Path Wheel from the marvellous light rays, a demon Six Path Wheel from the demonic clouds and demonic rays, and a rainbow Six Path Wheel from the rainbow bridge.
Qi Practitioners descended down from the sky and surrounded Zhong Yue in the centre.
Four Qi Practitioners who’ve opened the Bloodline Secret Realm and cultivated the Six Path Wheel?
Zhong Yue was surprised, even in the Prison Realm, there were only a handful who had done it. He encountered two himself, one was Li Tianxing and the other was the young Qi Practitioner who engaged him and the Reverse Emperor on the godly bridge.
But who knew that he was now beleaguered in the middle by four Qi Practitioners who’ve cultivated the Six Path Wheel!
Hidden talents of the Prison Realm? Zhong Yue looked at the incomers, they were all young and prominent, each having over a dozen powerful followers by their side.
However, looking at the four prominent Qi Practitioners, he couldn’t help but doubt. Those who’ve cultivated the Six Path Wheels were the best of the best, they were usually talents unmatched by the mediocrity
Yet, although these four prominent Qi Practitioners were powerful, talents above the ordinary cultivators, they didn’t manage to phase Zhong Yue.
“It’s you three, Qing Dian, Ma sanshou and Yu Zhun. Since when have the three of you cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation?” Behind Zhong Yue, the lady striding on the rainbow bridge asked.
Qing Dian, the young man shrouded in purplish rays heard her and replied curiously, “Tian Xiangnv, I’m the one that should ask this. Although you have reverse opened the five realms, but you didn’t cultivate the sixth realm, nor were you an innate spirit body. You’ve been as ordinary as I can see, but why that you have cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation? Also, Senior Martial Brother Ma Sanshou, you are only ranked the second in the Yu Chi Galaxy, but with the prowess you present now, you are already stronger than the first rank. But since when did you cultivate the Six Paths Reincarnation?”
Ma Sanshou, a brawny young man laughed loudly, he said, “I’ve absorbed a godly ray and it allowed me to awaken the power of my bloodline in the body, which then allowed me to open the Bloodline Wheel. What about the rest of you?”
Tian Xiangnv chuckled, “I’m talented myself, I’ve long cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation, but I’ve just been hiding my strength.”
Qind Dian answered in a placid voice, “Same here, I’ve already cultivated it long ago. Only those who’ve done it with their own strengths are the truly talented ones.”
Ma Sanshou was dumbfounded, he turned to the other young man, Yu Zhun. Yu Zhen smiled, his hands were on his back while he replied casually, “If one doesn’t hide his prowess, how can he live well in the Ancient Land of the God Graves?”
Ma Sanshou cursed in his heart, he had openly admitted that it was only because of his attainment in the Ancient Land of God Graves that allowed him to open the sixth realm. Yet, his three competitors disdainfully claimed that they had done it a long time ago and looked down on him.
However, Ma Sanshou didn’t buy any of their claims, These three brats must’ve been the same just like me. It’s the attainments in the Ancient Land of the God Graves that helped them to open the Bloodline Wheel. Else, they wouldn’t be coming for this Blood Skeleton Evil God. This Blood Skeleton Evil God is able to break free from the lower realms because it has the secret of the Six Paths Reincarnation!
Such a secret was of utmost importance to them. Whereas for Li Tianxing and the others who’ve truly cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation on their own, they had their own Six Paths Reincarnation cultivation technique. Hence, they didn’t value the Blood Skeleton Evil God as much.
“There are four of us, but only one Blood Skeleton Evil God. What should we do?” Tian Xiangnv chuckled.
The four young experts looked at one another
and pondered. All of a sudden, one of the followers suggested, “If we fight, it might give the other Qi Practitioners a chance to kill us all. Why don’t we take down the Blood Skeleton Evil God, search its soul and plunder its memories and share its secrets.”
The four Qi Practitioners smirked in their heart, wouldn’t sharing the secret to the others be helping their competitors? Of course they wouldn’t do so.
Then, another follower suggested, “Why don’t we separate it into four parts, each has one!”
The four young Qi Practitioners smirked again, if the secret of the Six Paths Reincarnation was separated into four parts, none would be able to attain the complete secret. Why would they do that?
“Then, let’s just let our own strength speak for ourselves.” Yu Zhun suddenly said, “The one who is able to obtain it, keeps it. I’m sure everyone will be satisfied with this suggestion of mine, right?”
Just as Ma Sanshou was going to raise his voice, Yu Zhun, Tian Xiangnv and Qing Dian burst into action. Their Six Paths Wheel revolved rapidly in mid-air while they lunged at Zhong Yue with their greatest skills!
At the same time, their followers were sprung into action as well. However, they didn’t go for Zhong Yue but instead, attacked the followers of the other parties!
Due to his rather sluggish reaction, Ma Sanshou’s followers were struck heavily, a few of them even being killed on the spot!
“Argh! Damn you brats!” Ma Sanshou yelled, he didn’t have the luxury to help his followers, and went straight for Zhong Yue!
Just as he burst out from the ground, the Blood Skeleton Evil God’s eyes flared brightly.
A Six Paths Wheel emerged behind the skeleton with loud chants resounded the sky. A saber sheath emerged in its bony hands and as the saber was pulled out, saber rays filled every corner of the perimeter!
Within the coverage of the saber rays, come the cries of death. The skeleton held the saber with two hands, and swung it down from the sky. At the same time, another pair of hands emerged from its body, holding and waving a banner.
