Chapter 1651
The wait was relatively long.
Viper had yet to recover from his injuries and was still recuperating. Tombkeeper brought Zi Chen on a tour of the area.
The Tombkeeper Clan's residence was completely protected by restrictions. Dragons were very sensitive to the aura of the Tombkeeper Clan. If they were not hidden, the entire Tombkeeper Clan would be wiped out.
During this time, the two arrived at the center of the restrictions.
A large golden bell floated in the air. Mysterious runes appeared on the surface of the bell. The runes flickered with light and a mysterious power spread out in all directions.
The golden bell was very extraordinary. The mysterious power within seemed to be suppressing something.
Tombkeeper looked at the golden bell and said, "That is the supreme treasure that can stop the flow of time in the world. In order to activate it, we paid a great price."
Glancing at Zi Chen, Tomb Keeper asked, "Are you wondering why I call the elders' uncle 'instead of' grandfather 'and' grandmother '?"
Zi Chen shrugged.
Tombkeeper said, "It is not because of my seniority, but because they are very young. They were originally in the prime of their lives. Unfortunately, in order to activate the Bell of Heaven and Earth, not only did they lose a great deal of their cultivation, but more than half of their vitality was also sucked away. That is why they became like this."
Zi Chen was shocked. "You mean they were all in the ninth layer before?"
"That's right. They were all in the ninth layer, and at the peak of the ninth layer. They were extremely powerful, but for the sake of the Tombkeeper Clan, they sacrificed their talents. Half of their vitality was sucked away, and they no longer had the possibility of reaching the peak."
Zi Chen was shocked. He was also very surprised by the elders. Then, Zi Chen thought of a question and asked, "Then what about you? Could it be …"
Tombkeeper said sadly, "That's right. I was also in the ninth layer, but considering my status, I only controlled the Bell of Heaven and Earth. The loss was not great, and I only dropped a level. You do not see any ninth layer here. It is not that my clan does not have them, but that all of them have either dropped a level or died."
All the powerhouses had dedicated their entire lives to the cause. Zi Chen had undoubtedly seen a united race, and he was very impressed.
When Zi Chen saw the eight old men again, they looked even older. Their cultivation levels had dropped again, almost to the initial stage of the Domain Realm. This time, they were no longer a threat. They looked like they were in their twilight years. Some of them even had age spots on their faces.
It was reasonable to say that the lifespan of a Domain Realm expert was almost endless. However, they had suffered a severe drop in their cultivation, and their vitality had been severely damaged. They could be considered to have reached the end of their lives.
Seeing them trembling as they handed over the Devouring God Seals one after another, Zi Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt. At the same time, he also felt a sense of responsibility.
"Zi Chen, the Patriarch believes in you. We also believe in you. We hope that you can succeed."
The one who spoke was Uncle Wang. His back was bent and his spirit was extremely weak. The old Zi Chen did not recognize him at first glance.
"Zi Chen, our Tomb Keeper Clan is completely in your hands." That Aunt Zhou bowed deeply to Zi Chen. The others did the same.
Zi Chen did not reply. Instead, he turned around and did not accept such a big bow. Zi Chen, who was as tough as iron, actually had tears in his eyes at this moment.
"Seniors, don't worry. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely think of a way to exterminate these giant dragons." Zi Chen's tone was calm, and he did not even turn his head as he spoke.
With the Devouring God Seals in hand, it was time for the three of them to leave. Viper's injuries had completely healed, and Tomb Keeper's cultivation level had increased. However, it had only stabilized by one level.
The clansmen sent the three of them to the edge of the restriction. The eight hunchbacked elders were in the lead.
Looking at the expectant expressions of the crowd, Tomb Keeper waved his hand. Zi Chen did not like this kind of parting scene, so he walked straight ahead.
Without too many reminders, only endless trust, the three of them left.
…
…
Ever since the Imperial Sky Region's side had successfully taken back Imperial Sky City, the entire Battlefield of Despair had regained its peace.
The Dax Plains had once again become a training ground for many humans.
Knowing that they would not be able to take down the city, the foreign tribes still held their breaths and came to the Dax Plains of their own accord to compete with the humans one after another.
Among them, some human geniuses stood out and displayed powerful combat strength.
The few Titled Ones from Shuntian Prefecture naturally did not pass on their responsibilities.
At this moment, a group of 66 people gathered together. To be more precise, they were gathered together. Their heads were close together, and their eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Hehe, it's finally done." Among them, Fortune Teller's proud laughter rang out.
"Hmph, deliberately mystifying things." Ye Ming stood in the distance, not bothering to pay attention to them. As long as Zi Chen was not here, Jin Qingcheng would not be at a disadvantage.
There was a blood-red chip in the fortune-teller's hand. If Zi Chen were here, he would immediately recognize that it was the chip that the fortune-teller had asked for on credit. Other than the fortune-teller, almost everyone else had one.
In the past few years, they had completed their requests one after another and summoned something that belonged to them.
As for Fortune Teller, he was one of the later ones.
"Crack!"
The blood-red crystal shattered in Fortune Teller's hand. A seal appeared from where the crystal shattered. In the middle of the seal, a passage to the Domain World appeared. A thick ancient book slowly appeared.
The Book of Destiny, a powerful treasure, appeared in front of everyone just like that.
Everyone widened their eyes and stared at the Book of Destiny curiously and carefully.
"Pfft, what's there to see? It's not real. It's just an illusion formed." Ye Ming curled his lips in disdain again. He then tiptoed and looked into the crowd.
"Every Fortune Teller has to condense a Book of Heaven's Will in their lifetime. Only then can they control the true Book of Heaven's Will. I didn't expect my Book of Heaven's Will to be condensed here. Haha, my battle prowess has clearly increased."
Beside him, Wu Xie asked, "Isn't it just one more calculation every day?"
"Hehe, one calculation. I can now calculate ten times a day. Pfft, ten is nothing. Let me tell you, there are more magical and more powerful ones."
It was obvious that Fortune Teller was very excited about the formation of the Book of Destiny. There was obviously a lot of pride in his words.
"Wait, find a target and I'll show you."
Fortune Teller stood up and looked around. However, he didn't find anything.
"Is anyone there?" Fortune Teller suddenly shouted. His voice traveled for miles.
The strong were bold, so no one stopped him.
Soon, a small group of foreign races appeared in their line of sight. There were ten of them, and two of them were in the late seventh stage.
Fortune Teller's eyes lit up when he saw these foreign races. He kept waving at them. "Over here, over here."
The small group of foreign races was slightly stunned. They looked at the humans in front of them with uncertainty. They didn't dare to go forward.
"Come quickly. I just got something good. I need you to be my witnesses." Fortune Teller shouted again. He was very excited.
It didn't matter if he didn't shout. However, when he suddenly shouted, the foreign races, who were already uncertain, turned around and left … They actually fled.
"Uh …" Fortune Teller was dumbfounded.
"Idiot." Ye Ming sneered.
The others also stared blankly at the fleeing foreign races. It seemed like it was the first time they saw foreign races flee without a fight. Moreover, they were fleeing in a group.
Fortune Teller, who was holding the Book of Destiny, said unwillingly, "Let's wait a little longer. There will definitely be others coming."
"What exactly is it?" Man Shi asked.
"You'll find out soon." Fortune Teller smiled mysteriously.
The foreign races didn't disappoint him. They didn't flee. Instead, they went to find reinforcements.
Soon, two more small groups of foreign races appeared. There were more than twenty of them, and four of them were in the late seventh stage.
"It's them." The seventh-stage foreign race from before pointed at Fortune Teller and the others.
"Hehe, they're here." Fortune Teller quickly smiled and waved. "Come, come quickly."
The group of foreign races looked at Fortune Teller as if he was an idiot. Soon, they surrounded the group.
Fortune Teller didn't care about this. He smiled faintly and said, "I just got something good. I hope you can be my witnesses."
"Is it a supreme treasure?" One of the late seventh stage foreign races sneered.
"It's this." Fortune Teller raised the Book of Destiny in his hand.
A book.
The group of foreign races was stunned. Then, they lost interest. Among the beasts, other than the priests, who would be bored enough to read a book?
Now that they were here, it was time for the demonstration. The Book of Destiny in Fortune Teller's hand slowly flew up.
"Open."
Along with a shout, the Book of Heaven's Will opened. The pages flipped, and eight pages appeared. A dazzling light erupted from the Book of Heaven's Will, attracting everyone's attention.
A golden light appeared from the Book of Destiny. When it landed, the golden light turned into a person.
Seeing this person, everyone's eyes widened.
"Zi Chen, it's you."
"What are you doing here?"
"What's going on?"
Looking at Zi Chen, who was bathed in golden light, everyone was stunned. Then, they immediately exclaimed.
Unfortunately, the figure in the golden light didn't answer. His expression was cold, but his eyes were dull. He looked like a body without a soul.
"It's that demon."
When the group of foreign races saw Zi Chen in the golden light, their faces changed. Even though a few years had passed, they still had a deep impression of Zi Chen.
"No, it's just a clone. Kill!"
"They're with the demon. Hurry up and kill them."
The group of foreign races shouted, their auras exploding.
"Kill."
Fortune Teller gave the order coldly. However, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Swoosh.
Zi Chen turned into a golden light and rushed forward.
He was fighting without fear of death. His body dodged two attacks and rushed to the front of a late seventh stage foreign race. He clenched his fist and punched.
The dazzling golden light was filled with a powerful aura. With an unstoppable force, it broke through the defense of the late seventh stage foreign race and hit the opponent's head.
"Bang!"
The late seventh stage foreign race's head exploded.
