Chapter 372

The dark passage was very gloomy. Evil wind blew like the cries of ghosts, chilling people's hearts.

After being swallowed by the demonic shadow, Zi Chen arrived here. The world was dark as if it was the end of the world. Even his vision was blurred.

"This is the burial ground of the Saints."

As he slowly adapted, Zi Chen could finally see his surroundings clearly. This was a passage that led directly to the depths. In front of him, he could see corpses.

"Crack."

As soon as he moved, he heard a sound. A piece of bone was crushed and turned into powder.

"The bones have turned into powder. How many years have these people been dead?"

Zi Chen was very surprised. He walked forward step by step and saw many bones. They were almost weathered. Obviously, no one had set foot here for many years.

Swoosh.

With a flash of red light, the piece of armor flew back and floated above Zi Chen's head. It was like a flame, burning fiercely and illuminating the surroundings.

This was a passage and also a battlefield. There were sword scratches on the walls. Although countless years had passed, they were still clear as if they were telling the world of the tragic battle.

Clang.

Zi Chen pointed his finger. Golden sword Qi fell on the stone wall, but it burst into sparks. The stone wall was intact.

"What a hard stone."

Zi Chen was very surprised. His attack didn't even leave a scratch on the ground. He looked around and saw that the ground was covered in battle scars. He could imagine how strong the cultivators who had fought with him were. At the very least, they were stronger than him.

The passage was very deep, and corpses were everywhere. Although Zi Chen was very careful, he still crushed a few corpses and turned them into powder.

"Is this a weapon from the past?"

Zi Chen saw a broken divine sword. It was mottled with rust and dim. It fell to the ground and had lost its power.

"Crack."

As soon as he picked it up, the divine sword cracked. Then, it also turned into powder and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Exactly how many years have passed? Even the Divine Sword of the past has lost all of its Spiritual Qi and become rotten."

Zi Chen sighed as he walked forward step by step. During this time, he saw a few more weapons, but without a doubt, they had all lost their spirituality and had become decayed. The moment he picked them up, they vanished into thin air.

"Even the weapons refined by the diamond were reduced to ashes."

Zi Chen was very surprised. Diamond was very hard and was a material used to refine Dan Weapons. Just a small piece was enough to make an Ancestor Realm expert bow down. This kind of thing was practically everlasting.

But in Zi Chen's hand, there was clearly a weapon made of diamond, which turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"The Holy Burial Ground is very mysterious. It's second only to the Lightning Divine Hall. No one has discovered the secret of the Lightning Divine Hall to this day. As for the Holy Burial Ground, it has existed for countless years. No one knows how it was formed, but there are rumors that it was caused by a disturbance in the Martial Heaven Continent." Old Mo appeared.

Even though he was a character from countless years ago, he didn't know much. He had never fought alongside the Boundless Sect, so he only knew a few secrets.

"During that disturbance, it's said that a foreign race invaded and almost destroyed the human race. In that battle, even Saints fell. That's why the Holy Burial Ground was formed.

"It's said that the Boundless Sect was established here to protect the Holy Burial Ground. But as for why they attacked in the end, it's always been a mystery. No one knows. However, that was a long time ago, at least a hundred thousand years ago."

Zi Chen clicked his tongue. It had been a hundred thousand years since the Boundless Sect had attacked the Holy Burial Ground. Then didn't that mean the Holy Burial Ground had been formed even longer ago?

Even the spirit weapons had decayed and turned to dust. Clearly, this battlefield wasn't from a hundred thousand years ago, but even longer ago. There had been other powers that had attacked this place.

The man and the soul continued forward. They saw many bones and spirit weapons, but without a doubt, they had all been turned to dust by the passage of time.

Above his head, the piece of armor shone with a bright red light. It was like a torch, illuminating the path ahead. There was a golden line in the middle.

This was the path that the armor was pointing to.

Walking out of the passageway, Zi Chen arrived at a large hall. It was very spacious, like a public square. Here, dried bones were everywhere, and it was eerie.

Clearly, this was an even larger battlefield.

"This is …"

Looking at the huge skeleton in front of him, Zi Chen was shocked. Could this be the foreign race that Old Mo was talking about?

This was a skeleton that far exceeded a human's. It was four or five meters tall, but it wasn't much different from a human's skeleton. It was just that it looked taller, like an ancient giant.

"This should be the foreign race from back then," said Old Mo.

"Could the foreign race be the ancient giants that disappeared?" Zi Chen was bewildered. Only the ancient giants could have such a huge body.

And although the ancient giants had the word "human" in their name, they weren't humans. They were called foreign races.

The entire hall was filled with bones. Corpses from back then could be seen everywhere. The ground was black, and it was unknown if it was the original color or if it had been dyed by blood.

Most of the bones belonged to humans. There weren't many skeletons that looked like those of the ancient giants left.

"Oh, it's actually glowing."

During this time, Zi Chen discovered a glowing skeleton. The skeleton occasionally flickered with light, emitting bits of divine splendor.

"Countless years have passed, but the skeleton is still glowing. Just how strong is this foreign race?" Zi Chen was incomparably shocked. He could feel a terrifying aura from the bits of divine splendor.

After countless years, the flesh and blood had already melted, but the skeleton was still so mysterious, emitting light. This made Zi Chen incomparably shocked.

The foreign race's fatal wound was a bloody hole in the forehead. Zi Chen went up to examine it carefully.

But at this moment, the divine splendor in the skeleton fluctuated, and a powerful will swept out.

"Human, die!"

The will let out a roar that was like rolling thunder exploding in his sea of consciousness. Zi Chen's mind trembled, and his spiritual will was almost shattered. His mind went blank.

"Careful!" Old Mo cried out, but Zi Chen didn't move.

"Roar!"

Within the bones, specks of divine splendor floated out and transformed into a tall figure. He let out a loud roar that shook the surroundings. It was unknown how many withered bones were shattered. He was seven to eight meters tall and had an imposing figure. A terrifying aura surged around his body as he rushed towards Zi Chen.

"Human, die!"

The demonic figure rushed over. It was incomparably tall and carried with it the will to kill. In a trance, Zi Chen seemed to have seen the other party really come to life and become a powerhouse with flesh and blood. The surging aura made him feel suffocated.

At this moment, he couldn't speak, couldn't move, and his mind was blank. He didn't even have the slightest bit of defense. He could only look at the tall demonic figure rushing towards him.

"Die!"

The demonic figure came to life and sent out a cold will with boundless killing intent. The surging aura swept towards Zi Chen.

"Chi."

At this moment, the armor on top of Zi Chen's head emitted a fiery light. It was like a ball of heavenly fire that rushed towards the demonic shadow. In the next moment, the demonic shadow howled in pain. His voice was shrill as he turned into ashes in the endless fiery light.

Zi Chen's expression changed, and he was extremely shocked. He finally woke up. Thinking about how he almost died just now, there was still lingering fear in his eyes.

Elder Hiroshi was the same. At the critical moment, he could only let out a cry of surprise, and then he couldn't move. The demonic figure was very strong.

"What a terrifying foreign race. Its body is dead, and its Dao is gone. It only has a strand of unyielding will, but it still has such means." Elder Hiroshi was amazed.

"It hates humans to the core. At this moment, your appearance has activated its unyielding will."

Zi Chen was extremely shocked. A strand of will had such means. He couldn't imagine how strong this foreign race would be when it was alive.

But thinking about it, it was many times stronger than the Ancestral Masters.

"Ka ka." The last strand of will dissipated, and the huge skeleton also disappeared with the wind, turning into ashes.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Just now, the aura surged, and the surrounding skeletons turned into ashes. An empty area appeared, and in front of him, another glowing skeleton appeared.

"There's more."

Zi Chen's expression changed, and he took two steps back. Silver light flashed between his eyebrows, and he was ready to take out the Purple Gold Gourd.

If it wasn't for the armor, he and Elder Hiroshi would probably be dead.

It was another skeleton, emitting a divine glow. It was as tall as an ordinary person, and it was a human skeleton.

"This is the skeleton left behind by a human expert. It should be the expert who killed the foreign race," Elder Hiroshi said.

With the transformation of the foreign race's skeleton, Zi Chen didn't dare to go forward, and could only watch from afar.

"There are words there." Zi Chen saw some ancient words on the side of the skeleton. They were very old, and they belonged to the ancient era.

"They're not ordinary ancient words." Zi Chen was shocked when he took a closer look.

He had studied ancient books before, and he knew many ancient words. But at this moment, he couldn't recognize any of them.

"These are words from the ancient era. They're very ancient."

Elder Hiroshi said. Although he was a spiritual body, he had lived for countless years and could recognize these ancient words. In the next moment, he read them out loud.

"After three thousand years of war, although the Saints are dead, they will not be blasphemed by the foreign race. We are willing to guard this place and kill all invaders until we die."

When he read the ancient words, the content was shocking.

"Could this be a battlefield during the Age of Chaos? These people were experts who followed the Saints to destroy the foreign race." Zi Chen was shocked.

He thought that this was caused by other forces attacking the Saint Burial Ground. He never thought that this was the first battlefield, the ancient battlefield.

And the content was shocking. After three thousand years of war, even the Saints died in the end. Could it be that the foreign race wanted to attack the Saints' corpses?

These dead humans didn't attack the Saint Burial Ground, but guarded this place, guarding the dead Saints.

Although it was only a few words, Zi Chen could imagine the determination of the human experts.

After three thousand years of war, they were physically and mentally exhausted. The Saints were dead, and their backbone was gone, but they were willing to guard this place and fight to the end.

But in the end, they were defeated. There was an open stone door in front of them, and gusts of cold wind blew out from inside. Clearly, the foreign race had broken in.

"This is the burial ground of the human Saints. The foreign race are all invaders."

Zi Chen sighed. A generation of experts finally fell and died together with the foreign race, but they still couldn't guard this place.

"Zi Chen, look at this skull. It's brilliant and blooming with divine splendor. It can be refined into an extraordinary weapon and can be used as another trump card." Elder Hiroshi pointed at the skull.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Such an expert should be respected, not blasphemed."

Zi Chen pointed his finger, and the divine splendor in the skull was guided out, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Let everything dissipate."

As he rolled up his sleeve, the skeleton that had lost its brilliance finally disappeared.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
