Chapter 1859 - Return From a Rewarding Journey

In the lower realms, there was a clear excellent candidate, which was the lord of the restricted region. He was a fierce individual who crossed the ‘dam world’, ridiculously powerful.

Of course, he was also ruined, now only having half of his skull left. However, his will seemed to be incredibly firm, so he wasn’t willing to disappear from this world.

The fist-sized altar quietly floated up and down. On it, the crystal skull, golden arm bone, and the bleeding eyeball all became quiet, temporarily becoming still.

Shi Hao reached out his hand, releasing a strand of light, and then a sphere of flames appeared, surrounding the altar, bringing it away from Western Tomb Realm’s deepest parts just like that.

He didn’t wish to remain here much longer, because the one who was suspected to be the Demonic Cattail Tree might still be alive, or else why would it have needed to act with such apprehension? It could have just immediately refined the three old monsters.

Meanwhile, the reason why Shi Hao could even face the three ghosts on the altar was most likely in part because of that Demonic Cattail King who only had a ruined body left.

However, he had to increase his cultivation as much as possible, this world was just too chaotic. Even though this world entered a Cultivationless Age, it was also becoming more and more dangerous. Once the most terrifying age arrived, the weak wouldn’t have any hope of survival.

Even if it was only for his family, for his friends, he had to continue living, protect everyone.

Immortal Ancient’s battle almost completely wiped out the Nine Heavens Ten Earths’ clans, let alone this time. Only heaven knew what was going to happen.

The attack of a true immortal would make a sea of stars explode, let alone the true unmatched beings -- the peerless immortal kings!

Back then, the reason why the Nine Heavens Ten Earths were blasted to pieces, the reason why all creatures died miserably was precisely because of this reason. When unrivaled experts passed by, just any random gaze might directly burn ordinary cultivators to ashes.

Outside, the battle was extremely intense, the main reason because new creatures appeared endlessly. This place was vast, ancient beasts concentrated.

The primitive mountains rose and fell continuously, appearing one after the next, ancient trees towered into the clouds. Pi Xiu, Luan, True Hou, Three Footed Golden Crow, and others treaded on the sky dome, moving through the horizon, flickering with dazzling brilliance as they charged out murderously.

Mu Qing, Zhu Lin, and Shi Zhong all had injuries on them, traces of blood, while there were some others who couldn’t move at all, now laying on the ground, protected by others.

There were extremely powerful creatures who slaughtered their way out, leaving all the young leaders weary. The main reason was that there were just too many creatures here, while they only had a few hundred.

Shi Hao stood there, still not taking action, quietly watching. With a 

sou

 sound, a large black turtle dove over, hiding behind him, looking around. Then, it patted its chest, saying with a startled look, “This tortoise was almost scared to death, motherf*cking… I encountered an old tortoise who kept chasing after me. It was definitely a prehistoric giant.”

Honglong!

A great mountain immediately collapsed. A large black claw appeared, directly crushing it. A giant black head appeared, belonging to a giant tortoise.

This tortoise was definitely strong, its defensive strength astonishing, Stone Village’s youngsters unable to do anything to it. The shining tortoiseshell seemed like it was cast from Immortal Gold, 

kengqiang

 noises sounded as they struck its surface.

“Kill!” Mu Qing took action. A lightning divine spear with astonishing penetrative power appeared in his hands. He became one with the spear, turning into a streak of golden lightning, advancing courageously. With a 

pu

 sound, this turtle at the peak of Self Release Realm was impaled to death.

Hong!

The Lightning Emperor Precious Technique surged with the divine spear at the center. Everything exploded, the surrounding vicious beasts were all blasted by lightning until they began to twitch, their entire bodies scorched black, quite a few even more so directly exploding.

Mu Qing’s strength was one of the very best here. The craziest vicious beasts were coming out towards his direction, yet he was holding all of them back.

Even if this was just training, one had to be realistic. Creatures that were too powerful, for other youngsters, wouldn’t be a self refinement, but rather life threatening.

Of course, every single one of them had to see blood, feel that type of crushing death atmosphere, and only then could they receive the tempering they needed and its sharpening results.

They fought until they all went crazy. All of the youngsters were going all out, the people laying on the ground all staggered to their feet again as well, fighting while bathed in blood.

Shi Hao stood there, calmly watching all of this. Even though this situation was already extremely dangerous and bloody, he still didn’t show any intention of taking action. All of this would depend on those people alone.

They simply fought until the skies became dusky and the earth turned dim, sun and moon without light. Blood covered the ground, even crushed bones were visible, quite a bit of it from Stone Village’s youngsters!

The vicious beasts here fought unendingly. It really was hard to imagine just how many remains were buried here back then, the war souls truly countless. After being nurtured by Western Tomb Realm, they all developed sentience.

“Kill!”

Zhu Lin had four feathers stabbed into her body, as well as a bone spur. She was currently facing several vicious birds, fighting a deadly battle against them.

Among them, there was a Golden Crow that had dazzling golden feathers. There were several that pierced Zhu Lin’s body, dripping with blood. They continuously attacked her.

There was a unicorn that was entirely snow-white like jade, but it was extremely savage. After going crazy, it completely changed forms. A row of white bony spurs appeared on its back, one of them piercing through Zhu Lin’s chest.

This battle became more and more intense. At this point, everyone felt danger, feeling that they couldn’t face their enemies like they did before.

“Kill!”

Eventually, they all became completely exhausted, all of their essence energy spent. However, the vicious monsters in Western Tomb Realm still continued to appear endlessly.

“Just how many remains are there? How can there be this many ruined souls and wills? They are half tangible, half made of spiritual force, there has even been demonic blood that revived, it really is strange.” Shi Hao said.

The skull on the quiet small altar spoke up again, saying, “The remains number in the millions at least, or else how could this type of small world take form? It was formed by relying on them.”

“Alright, today’s battle will end here.” Shi Hao said. These youngsters were extremely stubborn, even though they already long ran out of energy, some even dying, they still persisted on, fighting a bloody battle.

Shi Hao took action. With a wave of his large sleeves, all of the giant beasts flew out like straw men, completely clearing up this place, none left.

Then, he personally took action, activating the essence unique to his Supreme Being Realm cultivation, helping treat some people, helping them recover from their dying states, or else these people would have undoubtedly died.

“There are still some good things here, at the very least, for their cultivation levels, they should be great mending medicines.” The crystal skull said, informing Shi Hao that there was another treasury deep beneath Western Tomb Realm.

“Get up, dig into the ground.” Shi Hao ordered.

The youngsters always obeyed Shi Hao’s words, doing whatever he said. Even though they were exhausted, they still immediately got up, starting to move their bodies, treating this as a portion of their training.

Earth and stone surged, the surface opened up.

Everyone became shocked. There were many remains underground, all of them rare species. There were some that were as large as mountain peaks, some only the size of a thumb. However, there was one similarity, which was that they were all extremely powerful when they were still alive.

As they dug further down, the earth layer was no longer withered, instead carrying a moist aura. Then, they dug into an older age mine, to the extent where there was even ice, with ice caves and snow holes.

“This place…”

The corpses here hadn’t rotted, still retaining their flesh and blood, carrying exuberant essence blood energy.

“

Sigh

, these things, back then, we’ve already ate so much until we wanted to vomit!” When the youngsters who came from Desolate Border saw these things, their stomachs immediately retched.

The crystal skull became a bit speechless. It originally wanted to gift them some treasures, a great gift, because some of these ancient beasts’ cultivation realms were extremely high. Their blood and qi essence, if they were extracted, would be comparable to divine pills and wondrous medicines.

“Bring them back!” Mu Qing ordered. Everyone moved together, some sizing them up inwardly. The essence these vicious beasts and divine birds contained really was terrifying.

“Don’t waste anything. When the time comes, extract the marrow, the essence there is the most astonishing!” Shi Zhong said, extremely experienced.

“

Wu

, not bad, there is a half supreme being corpse that even we can use. After the killing energy is eliminated, it can be used as great medicine for tempering the body!” Zhu Lin nodded.

In the end, they returned from a rewarding journey, bringing back large amounts of ancient beast bodies.

Meanwhile, this wasn’t all. According to what the crystal skull said, the underground depths had an even more terrifying level, one that might be dangerous even for Shi Hao to explore.

“There is a supreme being body?” Shi Hao was shocked.

“If you search carefully, there will be even more powerful bodies, their blood rare and precious, truly exceptional great medicines. They might not be that much inferior to immortal medicines.”

“There are even stronger ones?” Shi Hao asked.

“There are!” The crystal skull nodded.

Shi Hao began to think to himself. If there were even stronger ones, then just what level would they be? Wasn’t this place a bit too frightening, actually having this many terrifying creatures.

“In the deepest level, it is where we are buried.” The crystal skull said deeply.

Shi Hao was stunned, and then he completely understood.

“Is the bone marrow in your bones still there? Do you all still need it?” Shi Hao asked them quietly.

The crystal skull stared at him, the purple-golden flame within its eyes sockets slowly pulsing. That golden arm bone also slowly floated over, while that bleeding eyeball also looked at him.

Shi Hao decided to stop, not asking anymore, no longer thinking about those things.

“Seniors, since this place is separated into several floors, buried within are these types of treasures, in the future, I’ll have to ask you to please treat these descendants kindly.” Shi Hao asked.

“You wish for us to lead the way, guide them in their training here?” The crystal skull asked.

“Precisely.” Shi Hao nodded.

“Do you not fear that Demonic Cattail King?”

“I am not scared of it myself, and with seniors looking after the youngsters, I believe there should be no problem.” Shi Hao said.

“We have attached importance to you, but you are now making us teach and escort these brats?” The crystal skull was unsatisfied.

“Come over here, you all still aren’t paying your respects to these seniors?!” Shi Hao exclaimed.

The group of youngsters lined up in an orderly manner, walking up at the same time, greeting them respectfully, showing great respect.

They returned to Stone Village, starting to extract the marrow, extract the flesh and blood’s essence, refining all of it into divine pills. These were all invaluable great medicines.

As for Shi Hao, he brought the small altar and the three creatures with him, directly seeking out the lord of the restricted region.

When they just approached, the lord of the restricted region already sensed something. Unlike before, he rose into the air, white clothes purer than snow, countenance like jade, standing in the air, looking down on this place.

“Kindred spirits?” He spoke up, his voice carrying a bit of charm. If he could still revive, this would definitely be an extremely beautiful man, possessing an exceptional temperament.

The small altar swayed. The crystal skull, golden arm bone, and the bloody eyeball trembled, even feeling a bit of uneasiness. They felt a type of powerful pressure.

“Dao brother has gone so far down your path!”

“I just knew something was up. How could this brat agree so easily, moreover saying that he was bringing us here to establish good karma. Turns out he wanted to intimidate us, hateful.”

“

Heh,

 which great era did dao brother live in, when did you transcend?”

At that time, forget about the crystal skull, even the golden arm bone and that eyeball actually released divine will fluctuations, conversing here.

“Should be later than you. Have you all gone into the dam?” The lord of the restricted region asked.

“You… went there before?!” The crystal skull was shocked.

“That is the source of all chaos! You were able to return alive after entering?!” The bleeding eyeball’s gaze was deep.

“My body has already died, but my dao remains persistent, remnant will wandering the world, heart carries unwillingness.” The restricted region lord said.

Then, the restricted region lord greeted them modestly, inviting them to sit down and drink some tea, have a chat.

However, the three of them didn’t have bodies, and they couldn’t make their true bodies appear, only able to continue floating above that altar.

Shi Hao was greatly shaken. He knew that he really brought these three monsters to the right place, it was still better for the lord of the restricted region to chat with them. He also wanted to understand some truths.
