Chapter 1501: The Yellow Springs and The Grave
Xiang Shaoyun was the owner of a pseudo-G.o.d body. He also had incredible speed. Even so, he couldn"t avoid the stab. One could imagine how terrifyingly powerful the headless zombie was.
Xiang Shaoyun instantly activated the profundity of life to start recovering from his injury. One could say that he had a recovery speed far faster than regular Great Saints. At the same time, he activated the Black Yin Magnetic Field to try to disturb the headless zombie with the chaotic field. Unfortunately, the zombie seemed unaffected by the chaotic field. Once again, it stabbed at Xiang Shaoyun, aiming for his chest this time.
Xiang Shaoyun released his Yin Yang s.h.i.+eld unhesitatingly and unloaded the incoming attack. Unfortunately, the s.h.i.+eld was only able to unload about 30 percent of the attack, with the remaining portion of the attack landing on his chest. A b.l.o.o.d.y hole opened on his chest, causing him to drop into the deep ravine.
Xiang Shaoyun was unable to stop his fall. At the same time, he could feel a sense of suppression appearing within his body, restricting his astral energy and devil pearl. If he lost access to his energy, he definitely wouldn"t be able to survive in such an environment.
Fortunately, as he attempted to circulate his energy, the primal inception energy erupted like a raging torrent and washed through his meridians. The suppression was removed, allowing him to regain some of his strength. Even so, about 30 percent of his strength was still suppressed. As for his devil pearl, it was completely suppressed. He could no longer utilize his devilish energy.
"So is this the most terrifying place in the Wumo Pa.s.s?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he looked into the ravine while controlling his fall and healing his body with the profundity of life.
The moment he looked down, he inhaled deeply in shock, and his body instantly stopped dropping. He started flying up at his fastest speed.
At the very bottom of the ravine flowed a yellow stream upon which countless corpses floated. An intense stench a.s.sailed Xiang Shaoyun"s nostrils. The stench was so bad that it made him dizzy. The stench came from a terrifying amount of corpse poison, and the air around him also contained the yellow water"s unique power.
"I-is this the water from the Yellow Springs?" exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun in alarm as he circulated an energy of extreme yang around his body.
It was rumored that the water of the Yellow Springs could only be found in h.e.l.l. Thus, he was extremely alarmed to find some in the Wumo Pa.s.s.
A tiny bit of Yellow Springs" water could easily melt a G.o.d and take their life. The Yellow Springs was known as the most overbearing spring of death. The yellow water did not occupy the entire bottom part of the ravine. Dry land existed at the two sides of the water stream. There, countless corpses were buried. Every now and then, some corpses would dig out of the ground and begin climbing out of the ravine.
Xiang Shaoyun was immediately certain that the ground beside the water was burial soil, the optimal soil for a zombie to cultivate the Zombie Devil Technique. When the zombies sensed Xiang Shaoyun"s existence, they looked at him with their green eyes.
None of them could fly toward him, as they were all restricted by the ravine"s suppression and could not utilize their death energy within the ravine. Therefore, their only way out of the ravine was by climbing.
When Xiang Shaoyun sensed how dangerous his surroundings were, he took out the jade slip and started searching for his father. Soon, he looked in a certain direction and flew over as quickly as he could. Before long, he arrived before a grave. That grave was also the source of the yellow stream.
The grave was ma.s.sive, taking the s.p.a.ce of an entire city. The ma.s.sive mound atop the grave consisted of burial soil that emanated a terrifying suppressive force. As Xiang Shaoyun approached the grave, 20 percent more of his strength was suppressed. In other words, he could now utilize only 50 percent of his strength.
A ma.s.sive crow was perched above the grave and rested on it like a mountain. Every now and then, it whined sorrowfully, emanating a bleak aura. Surrounding the grave were 108 ancient coffins. Each coffin emanated an indescribable power. Together, the coffins formed a formation that resonated with the grave to alter the natural laws in their surroundings. This formation was also the source of the suppressive force in the ravine. Not even Xiang Shaoyun"s divine dao eyes could see through the coffins, but he was certain his father was within one of them.
"My father is right here. How should I save him?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun anxiously.
The biggest threat was the ma.s.sive crow. It was probably a G.o.d Realm expert. With Xiang Shaoyun"s strength, he definitely wouldn"t be the crow"s match. Standing before the 108 coffins, he could sense that the power surrounding the coffins did not have any suppressive effect. He could walk straight into the formation, but he was also certain that he would be faced with a calamity the moment he stepped inside. His courage would determine his next choice.
"Father, I"m here to take you away," muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he stepped forward.
Instantly, the crow opened its eyes and looked at him.
At that moment, all his hairs stood on end as a sense of crisis enveloped him. But since he had already gone this far, he could only brace himself and say, "Lord, please forgive this kid for intruding upon you."
The crow looked astonished. It started speaking without moving its beak, "Able to stay unaffected by the restriction? You"re an outstanding one. You"re qualified to obtain an outside domain inheritance."
Xiang Shaoyun was dumbfounded. What in the world was going on?
"Lord, this kid doesn"t understand," said Xiang Shaoyun.
However, the crow shut its eyes and sank back into silence. Xiang Shaoyun was confused, but he did not dwell on it. He was only here to save his father and nothing else. Soon, he arrived before a coffin by following the jade slip"s guidance. The jade slip started s.h.i.+ning brightly, proving that he had arrived at the right place.
The coffin was the same as the other coffins. The only difference was that it had tiny traces of life in it. Additionally, traces of lightning energy could be sensed within the coffin as well. The life and lightning energy were so weak that anyone else wouldn"t be able to sense anything.
Xiang Shaoyun grew emotional. Voice trembling, he said, "Father, your son is here to save you!"
Xiang Shaoyun dropped to his knees without any hesitation.
Before he could say anything, a voice rang out, "Hehe, you should gain the ability to save yourself before thinking of saving others."
