CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 549: HUNTED INTO THE FORBIDDEN LAND
Blood!
Dried for an unknown period, oxidized to black, the blood seeped into the stone walls.
What was terrifying was that such a massive mountain would need how much blood to be dyed black? Just thinking about it was chilling.
This discovery made the figures in the coffins extremely tense.
But not long after, cries of shock rang out.
Someone found that they couldn’t control the True Qi within their body.
"What’s going on? I can’t utilize the True Qi inside me."
"Neither can I."
"What’s wrong with this place? Is there a Forbidden Spirit Array here?"
"What kind of ghost place is this after all?"
"..."
In the silent environment, voices of cursing, surprise, and panic echoed.
Those who could enter here were at least Heavenly Pass Experts, individuals who could stand their ground outside, but at this moment, after experiencing the strangeness of Ancestor Mountain, they felt increasingly uneasy.
Without the ability to utilize True Qi Divine Power, their combat power plummeted dramatically, in such an environment, no one’s heart could be calm.
After going through these oddities, finally, someone couldn’t hold back, trying to crawl out of the coffin, clutching their weapon tightly, looking at the surrounding darkness, then gathering towards the nearest person, acquiring a bit of a pitiful sense of security.
But all around, there was only Black Mountain, and more Black Mountain, not a blade of grass grew, not even a bird’s shadow.
"Whhooo"
The wind blew in the mountains, carrying a thin mist.
A gust of wind passed, the mist lightly moved.
In the group, a Heavenly Pass Expert with a cloak covering their head, holding a Mo Blade across their front, the mist behind them moved, then suddenly their body stiffened, eyes rolling white, the veins on their face jumped swiftly, turning black, the next second, they suddenly exerted force underfoot, the Mo Blade slashed fiercely towards a person diagonally forward.
That person was also sensitive, turning abruptly, blocking with a longsword in their hand, taking a few steps back with a thud, shouting angrily,
"Are you crazy?"
Amidst the anger, this person saw the Mo Blade man’s eyes turn black, their facial veins twisting like black snakes, a scare surged in their heart, their strength loosened a bit, the sword edge slipped, the Mo Blade slid directly onto their shoulder, blood splattered, an arm was cut down.
"Ah"
A scream of agony.
And this scream seemed to turn on some kind of switch, suddenly, screams of agony rang out from all around.
Only to see, the team that emerged from the coffins, suddenly turned their blades and swords at each other.
Due to the prohibition of divine skills, these people started the most primitive physical fighting, fury and slaughter intertwined, blood light merged with flashes of blades and swords.
And those who had not left the coffins, seeing this scene, looked on with surprise, watchful and guarded.
"Clang"
The mist blew towards a bronze coffin, the coffin suddenly emitted a violent shaking sound, although clearly there was nothing around.
But in the next second, the mist condensed swiftly, manifesting a ferocious white shadow in the void.
The white shadow was enormous, having a giant head, with sharp fangs in its mouth, eyes like a pair of burning blood-red lanterns, with huge fleshy wings on its back, the monster let out a roar, bellowing towards a middle-aged man in the coffin, the sound wave seemed tangible, causing the eardrums to ache.
Its massive claws slapped fiercely onto the bronze coffin, yet a faint layer of blue light rose on the bronze coffin, protecting those inside.
The monster slapped several times, then fixated its blood-red eyes hatefully on the people inside, seeming unable to do anything to them, then it took flight, disappearing directly in the void, reappearing among those outside the coffins, like a specter, each wing flap stirred up a bloody storm, shocking a cacophony of screams.
Chillingly, when others’ weapons struck this monster, the weapons passed directly through, as if nothing was there, utterly unable to harm it.
And this situation was happening simultaneously within the coffin groups in other parts of the Giant Mountain.
Someone keenly noticed the traits of the bronze coffins.
"Quickly, get back into the coffins!"
Figures or demons hurriedly ran towards the coffins.
Once danger was evaded into the coffins, indeed, those monsters, no matter how fierce outside the coffins, couldn’t harm the people inside.
"What the hell are these things after all?"
Someone, having narrowly survived, looked at the monstrous phantoms changing freely in the void, feeling a chill in their heart, with divine powers disabled, they were like ordinary flesh and blood, killed by these oddities, but unable to do anything to them in return.
But fortunately, the bronze coffins seemed like a novice protection zone, staying inside guaranteed safety.
Just when many people were gasping for breath within the bronze coffins, thinking they were finally somewhat safe,
suddenly, faint sounds were heard by their ears.
As if something disturbing was approaching.
The noise came from the mountain below.
One pair of eyes after another focused intently toward the bottom of the Giant Mountain, below seemed like a bottomless abyss, all light devoured, inducing unease.
"Crunch, crunch"
"Crack, crack"
The sound grew nearer, as if something densely was climbing upward.
Finally, when the first White Bone emerged from the abyss, its jawbone eerily opened and closed, as if chewing on some invisible entity.
Then, a second, a third...
From the abyss, an endless swarm of White Bones surged forth, as if startled locusts, climbing densely towards the mountain, the terrifying scene made the Martial Arts Expert who saw this gasp, a chill running from their spine to their skull, hair standing on end.
It was like a sea of White Bones, the tide surging up, erupting from the abyss.
These White Bones, in various shapes, hideous and horrifying.
Some were from the Human Clan, crowded, even containing golden bones, resembling an Arhat Golden Body;
Some had six pairs of wings, eye sockets flickering with green ghost fire, terrifying Demon Bones; others bore pieces of flesh, as if trying to regrow flesh and blood...
Many of these skeletons were unidentifiable but the terror they exuded was goosebump-inducing.
Endless skeletons surged over the black Giant Mountain, like tens of thousands of rusty knives simultaneously scraping metal, with eerie green ghost flames occasionally flickering, illuminating the terrifying details on the White Bones, some skulls impaled with golden broken arrows, the arrow feather still glowing with Spirit Light, harboring an undying spirituality; others with ribs flashing with dazzling Divine Light, uncrushed by this side’s Absolute Spirit Array, it was the Central Elixir Field, also the Purple Mansion, perhaps with immortal Divine Treasure still existing in the world.
In this sea of White Bones, it seemed to bury numerous once-mighty heroes or demons in the long river. And as the number of bones increased, the entire mountain seemed covered by a layer of writhing white shell, from afar, it appeared as if Black Mountain was shedding its decaying flesh, revealing the ghastly White Bones within.
The endless bones climbed rapidly, soon some bronze coffins were submerged, the people within inevitably fated to perish.
"Run!"
At once, silhouettes used the bronze coffins as stepping stones, frantically fleeing upward.
This led to a scramble for resources, and bloody conflict.
Everyone wanted to fight their way up.
Silhouettes in such a manner, amidst slaughter, trampled over others’ bones, flying and leaping toward the summit of the Giant Mountain!
....
In the early hours of the next day, under the night and cold stars, the sky trembled.
In the Ten Thousand Mountains, within the Sand Sea of Sin City, a stream of light tore through the void, then swiftly charged into the depths of the Sand Sea amidst the rolling winds.
A few breaths later, from within the Sand Sea storm, came a hum, followed by a milky white pillar of light shooting into the sky from beneath the veiling yellow sand.
When the light pillar connected Heaven and Earth,
the void above the Sand Sea shuddered incessantly, the heavens swayed and the ground quaked.
Numerous terrifying Demon Shadows reflecting in the void, like heavenly stars connecting in lines, sketched out, roaring throughout the mountains and rivers.
"Treacherous and cunning beings, actually set a Transmission Array here."
"After killing so many of this king’s demon children and grandchildren,
"Do you think you can just leave like this?"
"Stay behind for this king!"
In the high heavens, a starry Demon Shadow with wings directly descended, a giant purple hand covering the sky, slapped directly towards the Sand Sea storm.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
Columns of wind exploded violently.
In the end, the giant purple hand slapped directly onto the soaring white light pillar.
"Bang"
The light pillar shook violently, suddenly displaying five-colored rosy light inside, then the light pillar shattered, space collapsed, drawing in the swirling yellow sand around it.
And that five-colored rosy light, was also subsequently sucked into it.
