Chapter 541

This was a special area. Thick black smoke floated in the sky. This black smoke blocked the sky and blocked the sun. Even in broad daylight, one would not be able to see a single ray of sunlight.

In such a special region, even if the Spirit Devouring Rats did not scream, everyone could feel that something was wrong.

The old man once said that the region where the Sky Splitting Battle Ape disappeared was covered by black clouds, and no sunlight could be seen at all.

Moreover, that region had a very powerful aura. This aura had a strong deterrent effect on ancient beasts. Ordinary ancient beasts did not dare to come close. Even the king level ancient beasts were unwilling to come here.

Seeing the black smoke or black clouds above their heads, everyone's expression changed slightly. Zi Chen, Tyrant, Wang Qiong, Zhang Haotian, and Lv Peng's expressions changed greatly.

This was because the black substance above their heads was not black smoke or black clouds, but a kind of energy. This energy was very similar to the energy of the foreign race that died in the Saint Burial Ground.

This was similar to the foreign race's energy. Although everyone was not as sensitive as the ancient beasts, they still felt uncomfortable.

As soon as they arrived at this region, the devil ape that was hiding in the dark appeared. It raised its head and looked at the black energy above its head. Its expression suddenly became very excited, and a trace of ecstasy and greed appeared on its face.

In the next moment, it opened its mouth and sucked towards the sky.

As the devil ape sucked, the black energy in the sky began to surge. It was like boiling water, and then it fell down, forming a black water column. It fell from the sky and was sucked into the devil ape's stomach.

At this moment, the devil ape was like a bottomless pit. It began to crazily devour the black energy. Moreover, its face was full of enjoyment.

"Heavens, what kind of monster is this? It can even absorb this kind of black smoke." Seeing the devil ape's appearance, the Spirit Devouring Rats' small eyes widened to the limit. They were extremely shocked.

In their eyes, this black smoke or black clouds seemed to be formed naturally and could not be refined. However, the devil ape's face was full of enjoyment. This made everyone extremely shocked.

Only Zi Chen was relieved. This was because he had seen the devil ape's method in the Saint Burial Ground. Moreover, to the devil ape, this was the purest energy. It was even purer than Dan essence.

"Not bad, this is the purest energy."

It wasn't until the thick black energy above its head was reduced to a thin layer that the demonic ape stopped absorbing and burped.

The demonic ape retracted its intoxicated expression and flew downwards. It said solemnly, "Let's go. I can sense a bloodline call here. There should be someone of my kind here."

The devil ape's kin was naturally the Sky Splitting Battle Ape. Furthermore, it had disappeared for a very long time. This kind of bloodline call should be some kind of inheritance.

Everyone became excited when they heard this. It should be known that the Devil Ape that had not undergone any baptism or received any inheritance was already terrifyingly strong. If it were to receive a true inheritance and undergo another transformation, the Devil Ape's battle prowess would increase by several times.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go. Didn't the Heaven Splitting Battle Ape once cause this world to tremble? There should be quite a few good things left behind. Maybe there are one or two bones and one or two supreme treasures among them," Monk said. It was as if he had already seen the supreme treasures and became very excited.

Of course, everyone knew why he was so excited. It was because the old man had said that the place where the old monk often chanted scriptures was not far from the place where the Heaven Splitting Battle Ape had disappeared. The two places could be said to be closely connected.

The appearance of the Heaven Splitting Demonic Ape's inheritance meant that the Buddhist inheritance should not be far away.

Everyone was a team. The stronger they were, the better. Once they went out, they might encounter all kinds of enemies. Therefore, if one more person could improve their strength, they would have a better chance of survival.

Up until now, they had already offended two and a half of the five overlords. No one could imagine what would happen after they went out.

Moreover, Zi Chen was not sure if they could get out alive this time. If his friends could improve their strength, they would have more strength to protect themselves in the Bedlam Lands. It was very good.

Of course, if Zi Chen could get out alive, everything would be different. After all, with the old man who could kill a king-level ancient beast with a single strike as their backer, even if they were hunted down, they wouldn't be in a difficult situation.

As they went deeper, more and more black energy appeared in the sky. It was like layers of dense black clouds. Because the black energy was so dense, it caused black energy to drift between heaven and earth from time to time.

Everyone tried to refine the black energy, but all of them failed. Even Zi Chen couldn't refine it successfully. Only the Devil Ape could devour one or two strands of black energy from time to time.

Under the call of its bloodline, the Devil Ape led the group straight to their destination. It didn't take any detours. After a thousand miles, the Devil Ape's figure suddenly flashed and hid in the void. It then continued to lead the group forward.

After reaching this area, the Devil Ape was like a fish in water. Its range of perception had become much sharper. After another hundred miles, they arrived at their destination.

The source of the black energy was in front of them. The entire area was covered by the black energy. Everything originated from here.

In front of them, black energy filled the sky, covering the sky and the sun. It directly enveloped a region. From afar, it looked like an ancient black castle that sat there.

"A castle, there's actually a castle here!" Someone exclaimed as they approached.

That was because the black energy in front of them had actually formed a black castle. It looked like a solid body. The pitch-black stairs were also clearly visible.

Everyone gradually slowed down. The black energy had formed a castle. It was obviously very eye-catching. Ancient beasts didn't dare to approach this place, but that didn't mean that humans wouldn't.

Reality proved that the abnormality here had already alarmed humans. Moreover, there were quite a few of them.

Outside the towering ancient castle, there were already many black dots flashing. And every black dot was a figure. They were all humans.

The arrival of Zi Chen's group naturally attracted everyone's attention. Almost everyone's gazes turned toward them.

Among them, Zi Chen actually found some familiar faces. For example, Chen Liang and Zhou Xun. The people from the two overlords were actually here.

Moreover, other than these two, there were also two other forces. Among the five overlords, the last two were the Wei and Wu families.

Apart from the Shangguan Clan, who had been completely annihilated, the rest of the five overlords were all present. When they saw Zi Chen and the others, they all frowned.

However, when they saw Shangguan Bing Xi in the crowd, their faces lit up with joy. Immediately after, two figures flew towards them.

"Bingxi, it's really you!" One of the voices said in surprise.

"Wei Zheng, Wu Bo, it's you guys!" Shangguan Bingxi looked at them.

The two of them were the leaders of the overlords. They were considered the strongest among them. Now that they had arrived, they greeted Shangguan Bingxi warmly.

"Are these your friends? Why don't you introduce them to us?" Wei Zheng's gaze inadvertently landed on Zi Chen and the others as he casually said.

Shangguan Bingxi wasn't used to the enthusiasm of the two. He was slightly startled and prepared to introduce them.

"There's no need for introductions. We're all barbarians. We're not worthy." Just then, a cold snort was heard. It came from Wang Shan.

Zi Chen didn't say anything. Beside him, Lv Peng also said indifferently, "That's right, we're all barbarians from the Land of Barbarians."

Along the way, the people of the Bedlam Lands didn't give them any face. Calling them barbarians was already a sign of respect. Those who didn't respect them were called barbarian dogs. Now that the two leaders were acting so friendly, they naturally had ulterior motives.

Moreover, they had been whispering to each other while looking at them. At the same time, when they looked at the other groups of people in the distance, they became extremely wary.

"Haha, barbarians, as expected, have character. I, Wu Bo, like you guys, I'm going to make friends with you."

Wu Bo, who was wearing a blue robe and had a slightly thin body, let out a hearty laugh. "I heard that the barbarians of this generation are very strong and have outstanding talent. Today, I can see that each of you has outstanding talent. You are indeed extraordinary."

Wu Bo wasn't stingy with his praise. Just when Wang Shan and the others were feeling disgusted by his hypocrisy, Wu Bo mysteriously said, "We're all from the Bedlam Lands. Since we're here, we should put aside our differences and work together. Do you see those people not far away? They're from the Demon Race of the Wasteland.

They're very strong. "Everyone's gaze turned to the side of the ancient castle. There were dozens of figures there, all of them in human form. However, they weren't real humans. Some had two horns on their heads, some had scales all over their bodies, some had a pair of blood-red eyes, some had a pair of sharp claws, and even more strangely, some had a long tail.

The Wasteland was another hell in the Southern Lands. Similar to the Bedlam Lands, the inhabitants of the Wasteland were all from the Demon Race. The Demon Race weren't demonic beasts. They could all transform into human form.

They had the appearance and intelligence of humans, the powerful physique of demonic beasts, and even the innate abilities of ancient beasts. They were a powerful race.

Seeing Zi Chen and the others looking at them, a smile appeared on the faces of the Demon Race. However, it wasn't a friendly smile, but a sinister one. The killing intent in their eyes was even more obvious.

"The Demon Race is very strong. We're no match for them. Only by putting aside our differences and working together can we suppress them." Wu Bo said in a low voice.

As if he knew that Zi Chen was the leader of the group, he kept looking at Zi Chen.

Seeing Zi Chen's indifference, Wu Bo continued, "This ancient castle didn't exist before. It only appeared recently. Moreover, it's still in an unstable state. Everyone is restraining themselves. Once the ancient castle takes shape and the gate opens, a battle of slaughter will officially begin."

Just as Wu Bo said, the ancient castle in front of them wasn't stable. From time to time, there would be energy fluctuations.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire ancient castle began to tremble. A loud clanging sound rang out, causing the ground to tremble.

It seemed that the ancient castle had finally manifested. A simple and unadorned aura was emitted from the ancient castle gate.
