Tomb of the Gods
* Puchi! *
The chains were just like sharp blades as they wrapped around the puppet. Immediately, a mighty force pressed down. The puppet did not even let out a groan before it was directly shattered into countless pieces.
"Those who invade my territory will be killed no matter how far away they are!"
The moment the puppet shattered and Zhuowen's divine sense dissipated, an extremely cold voice came from the iron coffin.
Outside the crack, Zhuowen suddenly opened his eyes. His face was pale, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Even though it was just a wisp of his divine sense being crushed, it still affected him greatly.
Even Cheng Huang let out a muffled groan. After all, Cheng Huang had also placed a wisp of its divine sense into the puppet.
"How terrifying. The coffin hasn't even been opened. Just the chains on the surface of the coffin directly destroyed a Profound Sage-level puppet," Zhuowen said in a deep voice with a look of horror in his eyes.
"The owner of the coffin was definitely a supreme master when he was alive. He's not an existence we can provoke," Cheng Huang said with some fear.
"What did you see inside?
Looking at your shocked expressions, did you encounter some kind of danger? "Xiao Hei stood on Zhuowen's shoulder and asked as he looked at Zhuowen and Cheng Huang.
Zhuowen and Cheng Huang looked at each other and briefly explained what had happened inside. Speaking of which, they hadn't been in the Nether Corpse Extremis for long before they accidentally entered the territory of a powerful existence and were killed.
"Sigh!
Those who can be buried in the Nether Corpse Extremis were all earth-shattering figures when they were alive, especially those who were buried in places with good feng shui. They have a strong sense of territory. If they accidentally entered, it wouldn't be strange for them to encounter what you just encountered, "Xiao Hei said indifferently.
Zhuowen stared at Xiao Hei with some surprise and said, "Xiao Hei, from the looks of it, you seem to be quite familiar with the Nether Corpse Extremis."
"That's right, Xiao Hei. You haven't entered the Nether Corpse Extremis before, have you?" Cheng Huang said in a strange tone.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei fell silent. Its eyes became a little blurry, as if it was reminiscing about the past.
"During that great calamity, this dragon lord's body was almost shattered. In order to save myself, I once buried myself in this forbidden land of corpses in exchange for a longer lifespan …"
Zhuowen and Cheng Huang were shocked when they heard this. They had not expected Xiao Hei to have such a past. No wonder he seemed so confident about the Nether Corpse Forbidden Land. It turned out that he had once been buried in this forbidden land.
"And then?
Now that you've become like this, could it be that the burial failed? "Cheng Huang asked.
"I did succeed, but my injuries were too severe, and my origin was shattered. Even the Serene Corpse Extremis couldn't heal my injuries. Left with no other choice, I gave up on my physical body, and my soul left the Serene Corpse Extremis."
"Later on, by chance, I entered the Ryūka ancestral hall of this kid's family. There, this dragon lord's dissipating origin was stopped. Later on, I discovered that this kid had the Fuxi Cauldron in his body, so this dragon lord followed this kid …"
Xiao Hei slowly recounted. Although its tone was very calm, anyone could tell that it was extraordinary.
"I see. Then when you were buried in the Serene Corpse Extremis, did you sense Lord Fuxi's aura?" Cheng Huang asked expectantly.
Xiao Hei shook its head and said, "I'm not you, so how could I sense Fuxi's aura?
Moreover, I was heavily injured back then, and after I was buried in the Serene Corpse Extremis, I fell into a deep sleep. I don't know what happened after that … "
"Is that so?" Cheng Huang was a little disappointed.
"Since Xiao Hei is so familiar with the Serene Corpse Extremis, let's go in and take a look again. Perhaps we can really find Fuxi there!"
As he spoke, Zhuo Wen took out another puppet from his Spirit Ring. The Treasure Trove Palace was filled with treasures, so it was naturally impossible for it to only have one puppet. Since he had lost one puppet, Zhuo Wen naturally had to take out another one.
This time, Zhuowen let Xiao Hei's Divine Sense enter the puppet. After everything was ready, they once again entered the Serene Corpse Extremis through the crack.
At this moment, with Xiao Hei as an experienced driver, the puppet was able to travel very far in the Serene Corpse Extremis. Although they encountered many powerful burial grounds along the way, they didn't rashly approach their territories, so the previous mishap didn't occur.
After walking for about half a day, Cheng Huang still did not sense anything. The three of them were a little frustrated.
"The Serene Corpse Extremis is vast, and coffins are as numerous as the stars. Looking for Fuxi in such a big place with so many burial grounds is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack," Xiao Hei said with a sigh.
"Sigh, after walking for half a day, I still can't sense any aura of Master. Perhaps Master isn't even in the Serene Corpse Extremis," Cheng Huang said somewhat dispiritedly.
Zhuowen did not feel any disappointment. He had entered the Serene Corpse Extremis for Xiao Hei and Cheng Huang. He was not very familiar with Fuxi, so he could not say that he had come for Fuxi.
At this moment, Zhuowen controlled the puppet to look around and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Hei, Elder Song once said that a god was buried in the Serene Corpse Extremis. Is that true?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hei fell into silence. After a while, he said, "A god was indeed buried here. Moreover, it was a dead god."
Zhuowen's gaze turned cold. He looked around, his heart thumping as he asked, "Then, do you know the place where a god was buried?"
In Zhuowen's heart, a god was an unreachable existence. It was also an existence that Zhuowen had always looked up to. Xiao Hei had once said that a god had once existed ten thousand years ago.
After ten thousand years, gods no longer existed in the Heavenly Armor Continent, and even Saints were hard to find.
Even though Zhuowen had now become a Profound Sage, he still had an unconcealable reverence for gods. It was said that gods were existences that surpassed this world and were eternal existences.
"I know, but that place is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go there?" Xiao Hei said solemnly.
"I want to go. I want to see the tomb of a god. Even if it's just a glance from afar, I want to go," Zhuowen said seriously.
"Then follow my instructions. The tomb of a god is not ordinary. You'll know once you go there. Remember, don't go near it. Otherwise, you'll really be consigned to eternal damnation."
At this moment, Xiao Hei was very serious. Although Zhuowen was very curious, after seeing Xiao Hei's appearance, his heart trembled and he nodded seriously.
Under Xiao Hei's instructions, Zhuowen rushed through mountain after mountain, crossed river after river, and passed through dense forests. After three days and three nights, he finally stopped at the summit of a mountain.
In front of the mountain, there was a huge plateau. At the top of the plateau, there was white snow, as if it was wearing a layer of white gauze.
At the center of the plateau stood a huge and magnificent palace. In front of this palace, there was a stone tablet that seemed to reach the sky.
The surface of the stone tablet was densely engraved with words that Zhuowen could not understand.
When Zhuowen's eyes focused on the words on the stone tablet, his mind shook, and his main body, which was sitting cross-legged outside the Serene Corpse Danger Ground, directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't stare at the inscription. The inscription was carved by a god. It's not something that a mere Profound Sage like you can bear."
The moment Zhuowen spat out blood, Xiao Hei immediately stopped Zhuowen, and Zhuowen hurriedly looked away, no longer daring to look at the inscription.
"So terrifying. Just the inscription alone has such power." Zhuowen gasped for breath and could not help but be surprised.
After recovering, Zhuowen's eyes fell on the four corners of the plateau. In the four directions of the central palace, there were four huge tombs.
Although these tombs were not as magnificent as the central palace, they were much more high-end and majestic than most of the burial grounds Zhuowen had walked through.
Four huge statues stood in these four tombs. These four statues faced the central palace and knelt on one knee, as if they were worshipping the master of the Divine Tomb.
"The four tombs are buried in four extremely powerful True Immortals. They were built to protect the Divine Tomb from being disturbed." Xiao Hei stared at the plateau with a complicated expression.
"Tombs of True Immortals?"
Zhuowen's heart trembled. Above the Profound Sage was the Heaven Sage, and above the Heaven Sage was the Immortal Sage. The Immortal Sage had three small realms: the Earth Immortal Sage, the Heaven Immortal Sage, and the True Immortal Sage.
Among them, the True Immortal Sage was the highest level of the Immortal Sage, and was collectively known as the True Immortal. It was considered a peak Sage, and it was a terrifying existence that could easily destroy the entire Eastern Land with a wave of its hand.
"Kid, you've seen the Divine Tomb. It's time for you to leave. The Divine Tomb isn't a place for trouble. Hurry up and leave." Blackie reminded.
Zhuo Wen, on the other hand, was reluctant to leave. His gaze landed on the majestic tomb of the gods, as well as the four majestic tombs of true immortals. In the end, he sighed and said, "Just what kind of existence could actually bury a god?"
"Kid, you don't want to live anymore. How can you say such things?"
As soon as Zhuowen finished speaking, Xiao Hei's expression changed greatly, and it hurriedly stopped Zhuowen. Then, it looked at the four tombs of True Immortals on the plateau with great vigilance and said in a low voice, "Leave quickly. This place is taboo. There are many unknown things inside. Some things can't be said carelessly."
Seeing Xiao Hei so cautious, Zhuowen did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly lifted his feet and prepared to leave this place.
Creak!
The moment Zhuowen lifted his feet, the sound of gears turning was heard. Then, the statues in front of the tombs of True Immortals in the East, South, West, and North of the Divine Tomb suddenly turned around, and a wisp of raging flames appeared in its hollow eyes.
"Blasphemers will be killed without mercy!"
A magnificent voice came from the statue. Then, the statue stomped on the ground and instantly appeared in front of Zhuowen like a cannonball.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
Zhuowen hurriedly retreated hundreds of steps. Looking at the tall statue in front of him, he was faintly frightened.
