All the way to the north, the vast and desolate atmosphere between heaven and earth becomes more and more intense.
At first, it looked like faint wisps of mist floating between the sky and the earth, until closer and closer to the north, these ancient and desolate atmospheres have turned into heavy fog, covering every inch of the void like a haze. Entering it is like moving forward in the vast sea of clouds.
This aura is extremely terrifying, containing a strange power of heaven, which oppresses the soul and makes people feel like they are trapped in a quagmire.
A few days ago, Chen Xi and his party also approached this place, but they did not go deep because the ancient desolate air was too thick and dangerous, and it was very easy to encounter accidents.
But now, the call that arose in Chen Xi's heart pointed towards the depths of this area shrouded in ancient desolate energy.
He didn't hesitate and continued moving forward, but he was obviously more alert than before.
Wow~~
Waves of thick, water-like desolate air rolled towards both sides, passing through it as if flying through a sea of gray clouds that could not be seen. With Chen Xi's powerful perception, he could only explore a range of less than a thousand miles. Area.
Everything seemed so still.
But Chen Xi became increasingly vigilant. Sometimes the unknown meant danger, and he did not dare to take it lightly.
After a full stick of incense.
Suddenly, Chen Xi stopped, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In his mind, powerful and obscure auras rushed out of the area thousands of miles ahead. Apparently, many cultivators had entered here.
This made Chen Xi's heart move, and he immediately used the forbidden secret pattern to completely cover his own aura. At the same time, he could clearly capture the wisps of thoughts communicating.
"We have penetrated more than 100,000 miles, but so far we have found nothing. Could the news be false?"
"Impossible! According to what my grandfather said, someone did obtain an eighth-grade king-level ancestral root from here."
"Hmph, then tell me, who obtained that eighth-grade Dao root?"
"I can't say that it involves a big shot in the Imperial Domain, but I dare to swear to God that this matter will never be false!"
"Forget it, let's search again. If we find nothing, we will immediately turn around and leave. I don't know what happened. The deeper we go, the more panic I feel."
"Me too, I always feel that this place is too weird. Please be careful. If anything goes wrong, we will retreat immediately."
…
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the breath of the group of monks disappeared. It was obvious that they had already started taking action and continued to deepen.
"Eighth-grade king-level Dao root?" Chen Xi thought thoughtfully.
From the day he entered the land of ancestral origins until today, Chen Xi has found many ancestral origins. He has even seen many seventh-grade ancestral origins that have been excavated long ago, but he has not found an eighth-grade king-level ancestral origin. .
At that time, Chen Xi was still wondering whether this place of ancestral origin did not have an eighth-grade ancestral origin, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
It is said that the seventh grade is the king, the eighth grade is the king, and the ninth grade is the emperor. The ancestral Dao root that reaches the eighth grade level is no less rare than the ninth grade Dao root.
If there really is an ancestral source in this place that can give birth to eighth-grade Taoist roots, it would be considered a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi was suddenly startled. When he came here, he felt a sense in his heart and sensed the power of calling.
And now, I heard such news by chance. Could it be that there is still a trace of connection between the two
"Eighth-grade ancestral origin, mysterious call..." Chen Xi pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out a clue. He could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.
Without wasting any time, he continued to fly forward.
Indeed, as those cultivators said in exchanges, Chen Xi's heart soon felt a faint flutter, as if there were some terrifying murderous intentions dormant in this vast and hazy ancient desolate air. Waiting for it to be delivered to your door.
Clang!
With a low groan, the sword fell quietly into Chen Xi's palm. His eyes were as bright as lightning, and there was a hint of coldness and solemnity in his expression.
Continuing to move forward, not long after, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and at this moment, a scream came from far away from the depths of the mist.
"not good!"
"It's the ancient corpse of the ancestor god!"
"escape!"
The screams only lasted for a few breaths, then stopped abruptly, and everything fell into a deathly silence, which seemed extremely weird and made people's hearts tremble.
Chen Xi's expression became a little solemn, and he smelled a hint of blood in the air.
The ancient corpse of the ancestor god
Before entering the Land of Ancestral Origin, he had also heard that the Land of Ancestral Origin was full of dangers, the most dangerous of which was the ancient corpse of the ancestral god.
This kind of ancient corpse is the remnant soul of the god who died here countless years ago. It has absorbed an unknown amount of ancient desolate energy, and its strength is comparable to that of the powerful ancestor god.
Of course, it is comparable to the Ancestral God, not the real Ancestral God Realm existence. In other words, this kind of ancient corpse is more powerful than the ordinary Spirit God Realm existence, and already has the power of the Ancestral God Realm!
During these days in the land of ancestral origin, aside from the competition and fights from other cultivators, Chen Xi encountered various dangers more than once, and most of these dangers occurred near every ancestral origin.
For example, there are ferocious beasts and corpses dormant near every ancestral source. If you want to seize the Dao roots, you must first kill these ferocious beasts and corpses.
However, these dangers are not very strong, and naturally cannot be compared with the real ancient corpse of the ancestor god.
But now, deep in this vast mist, there might be an ancient corpse of the ancestor god. One can imagine how dangerous it is.
At this moment, even Chen Xi did not dare to be careless. He had even judged that those cultivators who screamed in agony were probably in trouble.
"Generally speaking, whenever something dangerous appears in this ancestral place, there is usually an ancestral source of the Taoist roots nearby. If we infer this, doesn't it mean that deep in this area, there may really be an eighth-grade creature? Ancestor?"
Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and finally decided to move forward to find out.
After a while.
Chen Xi stopped again. In front of him, corpses were lying in a mess. Some had their throats crushed, some had their heads smashed, and some were even torn into pieces of flesh. They were extremely miserable.
The divine blood is flowing gurglingly, soaking the earth. These corpses have obviously just died, and there is still a residual warmth and divine power in the corpses.
But all the divine treasures on their bodies were gone. This discovery made Chen Xi's face become more solemn. What does this mean? It means that those ancient corpses of ancestor gods still have a certain degree of wisdom and have learned how to search for divine treasures for their own use!
The only thing that made Chen Xi rejoiced was that he did not find a Supreme God in the scene. In other words, the strength of these killed cultivators was still far behind that of the Supreme God.
If a supreme god died here, Chen Xi would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word. He would not dare to brave such danger easily.
"Killed eight top cultivators in one fell swoop. Judging from the injuries of the deceased, there were at least four ancient corpses of ancestor gods who attacked together..."
Chen Xi deduced silently, but unfortunately, based on this scene alone, he could not know exactly how powerful those ancient corpses of ancestor gods were.
Um
Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a strong sense of crisis. Almost subconsciously, he activated the secret pattern of the forbidden path and quietly left this place.
Wow~
There was a fluctuation in time and space, and a tall figure appeared. He was covered in broken bronze armor, his face was pale and stiff, his pupils were like blood, and he was filled with a sinister and violent aura.
As soon as he appeared, his whole body was filled with a thick and solid death aura, which evolved into black halos that circulated around his body.
From a distance, he looks like a human but not a human, a ghost but not a ghost. He is like a walking zombie, which is extremely frightening.
He seemed to have discovered something. He glanced around, but found nothing. There was a rattling sound in his throat, like metal friction, piercing the eardrums.
Finally, his figure flashed and disappeared quietly.
"It seems that this ghost thing is the ancient corpse of the ancestor god. The aura is indeed extremely powerful. If it were not protected by the forbidden secret pattern before, I would have almost been discovered by this thing..."
After a while, Chen Xi's figure emerged, with a cold light in his eyes. Just now, he had been hiding on one side and observing quietly, and he roughly judged that the aura of the ancient corpse of the ancestor god was not weaker than that of the supreme god. !
As for how strong it is specifically, that can only be known by fighting against it.
After thinking silently for a long time, Chen Xi took out three more treasured copper coins and clamped them between the fingers of his left hand. He held the sword and urn in his right hand before continuing his action.
Because of the secret pattern of the forbidden path, he was not worried about being detected by the ancient corpses of the ancestor gods, thereby avoiding the possibility of a sneak attack on him.
However, Chen Xi did not dare to be careless. This place of ancestral origin was full of weirdness, and it could be said that it was murderous at every step, so he had to tighten his nerves.
As expected, as Chen Xi expected, on the following journey, he noticed traces of the ancient corpses of the ancestor gods more than once. They were either acting alone or in groups of three or five, floating like ghosts in the vast mist. , and the aura is extremely hidden, faintly blending with the ancient desolate air between heaven and earth. It is difficult to detect it unless you identify it carefully.
What exactly exists here? Why do so many ancient corpses of ancestor gods appear
Until later, Chen Xi couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart, and he felt more and more that this place was too unusual.
Another cup of tea passed by.
Suddenly, in the thick fog in the distance, a dazzling blue light appeared, as bright as lightning, and it looked extremely eye-catching.
That is…
Chen Xi was shocked in his heart, the eighth-grade ancestor!
The ninth-grade Dao root is divided into nine kinds of divine light: black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. From the ancestral source where the eighth-grade Dao root is born, a pillar of blue divine light will emerge!
If there is no mistake in the inference, there must be an eighth-grade Taoist source very far away!
Uh-huh!
However, before Chen Xi could get excited, suddenly, a sharp and sinister force silently cut through time and space, and suddenly struck him fiercely from behind.
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, and the sword in his palm seemed to have eyes. It turned suddenly, like a rewinding galaxy. With a bang, he blocked the blow, and the divine light burst out!
