The vast starry sky, darkness and desolation are eternal themes.
A brilliant road in the sky stretches across billions of miles, leading to a distant place. The light is so dazzling that it illuminates the surrounding darkness.
Ling Xiao, Zhu Ganglie and Zhu Biao have been on this heavenly road for nearly a month, but they still have not reached the ancient ruins that Zhu Lan mentioned.
The sky was high and there was darkness all around. Occasionally a star would appear, but there was no sign of life and it was extremely desolate.
The Samsara World and the God of War World are two major world planes, separated by endless starry sky.
This was Ling Xiao’s first time to come into the starry sky. He saw the extreme splendor of the starry sky, but also saw the eternal loneliness and desolation.
"Ling Xiao, don't you want to know why Grandpa sent us to that ancient ruins?"
Zhu Biao finally couldn't help it and said to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I thought you could hold it in and not say it. If you want to say it, just say it!"
With Ling Xiao's current level of cultivation and based on the Yellow Spring Spirit Stone that Zhu Lan gave him, how could he not feel that they had clearly taken a detour
In other words, they don’t need to go to that ancient ruins at all and can directly return to the world of reincarnation.
However, Ling Xiao instinctively felt that the ancient ruins that Zhu Lan mentioned should be very important, so he walked on the Heavenly Road and headed towards the ancient ruins.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "So you know! That ancient ruins is very important to me, and it is also very important to you!"
"Oh? Why is that important?"
Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Because, that ancient relic contains the opportunity to become a god!" Zhu Biao said solemnly.
"What?!"
Ling Xiao's eyes were also shocked.
What Zhu Biao said was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
Zhu Biao explained, "I know this news is indeed a little unbelievable, but that ancient ruins is not simple! Because in that ancient ruins, there is a mountain called Kunwu Mountain. According to legend, it is a sacred mountain in the divine world, containing the laws of the gods, and there are also various treasures. If we can be baptized by the laws of the gods in Kunwu Mountain, perhaps we can become gods in this mortal world!"
"Kunwu Mountain? Shinto law?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. This news was indeed extremely shocking.
Now that the gate to the divine world is closed, the path to becoming a god is almost blocked. If there really is a sacred Kunwu Mountain in the ancient ruins as Zhu Biao said, then it would truly be a great opportunity and fortune.
“Master, if there really are Shinto laws, one can naturally become a god! But I guess, even if there is the Kunwu Sacred Mountain, the Shinto laws contained therein are not complete. Even if one can become a god, he is probably just a false god!” Zhu Ganglie said slowly with a gleam in his eyes.
"No matter what, this is still a glimmer of hope. It's worth a try, isn't it?"
There was a hint of excitement in Zhu Biao's eyes.
"Okay! Then let's go find the so-called Kunwu Sacred Mountain!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
“Ling Xiao, that ancient ruins is a place that is even older than the catastrophe that happened a million years ago. It is said to be the remains of the ancient war between gods and demons. There are many strange creatures in it with unparalleled strength. We must be careful!”
Zhu Biao reminded.
Ling Xiao nodded, and the three of them continued on their journey along the Heavenly Road, crossing the endless starry sky and heading into the depths of the sky.
A few days later, Ling Xiao and the other two saw a flash of light before their eyes, and a floating ancient continent appeared!
It was a dead silent place, shrouded in a black mist, floating in the starry sky. It was tens of millions of miles in radius and was extremely huge.
Around that continent, there are many corpses and weapons of powerful gods and demons, and even ancient ferocious beasts that are tens of thousands of feet tall. The flesh and blood have disappeared, leaving only the neat and dazzling bones.
Broken stars floated in the air, filled with a tragic and terrifying atmosphere.
After Ling Xiao and the other two got closer, they could still feel the heart-shaking power fluctuations.
"Is that... the corpse of a black tortoise?!"
Zhu Biao suddenly exclaimed. On the edge of the continent, there was a black basalt floating tens of thousands of feet tall. It had a turtle and a snake entwined in it, with ancient veins and was shrouded in black evil spirit. Its face looked extremely ferocious and lifelike, as if it was a living ancient mythical beast.
But Ling Xiao could feel that this Black Tortoise was filled with deathly aura and had been dead for countless years. It was only because it was too powerful that its body had been preserved intact.
However, there was a black spear nailed on the head of Xuanwu, which dealt a fatal blow to the Xuanwu and caused it to die here.
"This is a divine beast, the Black Tortoise, and it died here?" Zhu Ganglie was also shocked. He did not expect that there would be such a place under the starry sky.
"There are more over there! The ancient Teng Snake, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Immortal Firebird, Pixiu... These are all ancient mythical beasts and fierce beasts. There are so many of them?"
Zhu Biao was completely shocked. Behind the huge Xuanwu divine beast, in the starry sky at the edge of the continent, there were corpses of one horrifying giant beast after another floating, which looked terrifying.
So many ancient mythical beasts only existed in legends, but now they finally saw the real corpses of the mythical beasts, which made Ling Xiao and the other two even feel that it was unreal.
“Ling Xiao, this is an ancient relic, but the outer layer of magic fog is very terrifying. My grandfather narrowly escaped death before entering it. We must be careful! There are many terrifying beings in the relic!”
Zhu Biao stared at the black fog floating around the periphery of the continent and said with a serious look.
This ancient relic is truly shocking. So many lifelike skeletons of mythical beasts have survived countless years.
"What a pity! Although these corpses of mythical beasts look lifelike, they are completely lifeless. Otherwise, these corpses of mythical beasts would be priceless treasures. Whether it is the flesh and blood or the bones in their bodies, their value is immeasurable!"
Zhu Ganglie also said with some regret.
He could see that the corpses of these mythical beasts were filled with deathly aura and rising evil spirits. Even if the bones were taken down, their divinity had been lost and it would be impossible to refine treasures.
"Let's go in and take a look. Everyone be careful!"
There was a flash of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he flew slowly towards the ancient ruins with Zhu Ganglie and Zhu Biao.
Boom!
The layer of black fog floating outside the continent is surging and vast, rising like the sea, containing an unparalleled terrifying power fluctuation.
There were even black lightning interweaving among them, as if they could completely destroy everything.
Ling Xiao and the other two carefully approached the periphery of the black fog. When they were about to enter it, they saw the black fog swirling and suddenly transformed into an extremely terrifying figure, rushing towards Ling Xiao and the other two!
PS: Everyone should go to bed early. After these two busy days, we should be able to resume normal updates tomorrow. Thank you.
