Chapter 1490 - Breaking Into the Palace
“Land of origin?” s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t understand. Just what was it that originated from this place?
However, he couldn’t directly ask Sanzang or Shenming, he could only secretly chat with the long life tree, have it answer his questions.
“It has something to do with the undead knights’ origin. It is rumored that their origins are extremely complex, also extremely shocking!” The immortal medicine secretly replied.
This left s.h.i.+ Hao shocked. Was there another saying regarding the undead knights’ origin and rebirth? Were they different from other clans?
“We have to enter. If we really succeed, in the future, we might become Burial Kings, become the most powerful existences!” Shenming was extremely stirred up. Her head of fiery red long hair fluttered about, vivid eyes widening greatly.
Sanzang was also excited, different from his previously earnest appearance. His head of golden long hair was resplendent like a blazing sun. He clenched his fists, releasing a low roar.
“Let’s work together to break inside!” Sanzang said.
The ancient palace was ma.s.sive, several dozen thick pillars towering. They were a faint white color, standing before them, giving off a dignified and divine feeling, even more so having mottled imprints of time.
This palace towered for at least a great era or two, but it never collapsed, this alone enough to explain many things.
It was piled up from giant rock, every piece of stone material corroded by time until all light was lost, as if they had been polished. They more or less had some signs of erosion, but they were still st.u.r.dy, only having a feeling of great changes added to it.
The stone was not brilliant, but the entire palace gave off a hazy radiance. The light didn’t touch the stone, only surrounding the palace surface.
This was a simple and ancient giant palace, one that fully embodied the past.
Meanwhile, the surrounding divine light added a type of mysterious coloration.
“Can it be entered?” s.h.i.+ Hao asked.
Right now, they arrived before the palace, feeling a type of mysterious power. That type of light didn’t hurt anyone, but it stopped them from proceeding.
Beneath the stone stairway before the great palace was a lot of dust. There was white-colored, gold-colored, even black-colored dust, all of them different, carrying yin energy.
This was originally a holy land, but it was actually this strange underneath the platform.
“The ashes of powerful beings!” Sanzang said. He immediately came to this type of conclusion.
It was because before coming here, he already did a lot of research, reading through many ancient texts, knowing a few mysteries of this place.
s.h.i.+ Hao was speechless. It was extremely dangerous even at the ancient cave’s entrance, he almost died in the process. Meanwhile, if those two Golden Undead Knights didn’t have body protecting talismans, they would have definitely died under that death light as well.
“There were actually this many experts who reached this place since ancient times…” s.h.i.+ Hao said with a sigh.
“Seniors truly are venerable, for the sake of pursuing the ultimate secrets, none of them feared death.” Shenming said.
This place was extremely unordinary, it was definitely extremely difficult to enter. Now, they were starting to look around.
“We are going to stake it all. If we can enter, who knows, we’ll become three great Burial Kings in the future, become burial region’s three giants. Do you all dare enter?” Even though Shenming looked elegant and beautiful, a world-toppling beauty, right now, she was extremely outgoing, her words resounding, wis.h.i.+ng to immediately charge forward.
“We are naturally going to take the risk, use all methods!” Sanzang nodded.
s.h.i.+ Hao really, really didn’t want to. If there weren’t any dangers, he naturally would want to explore, search for ways to become stronger.
However, right now, this place was extremely dangerous, moreover related to undead knights. The meaning wasn’t that great to him. He didn’t want to enter at all.
“Let me think things over!” He said. The immortal medicine was also like him, not wis.h.i.+ng to enter.
“Then I will go first!” Shenming said. She immediately walked forward, a layer of divine armor covering her. Moreover, there was a strange pendant hanging from her forehead.
Chi!
In that instant, the ancient palace’s doors shone, the steps surging with endless auspicious multicolored light, immediately drowning out this place. It was terrifying beyond compare.
“Ah…” Shenming shouted out, as if she endured unimaginable pain.
Kacha!
The pendant between her brows immediately shattered, but large amounts of patterns extended out, immediately covering her, protecting her true body.
“What? That is the aura of a Burial King!” The long life tree was shocked.
That pendant was unusual, hiding the power of a Burial King. Right now, it turned into mysterious patterns, protecting Shenming.
She staggered, but in the end, she rushed into that ancient palace!
At the same time, s.h.i.+ Hao felt something wrong. The fluctuations in this place were too intense, as if the entire ancient palace was a huge monster that was reviving.
“I am going as well.” Sanzang turned around. He smiled towards s.h.i.+ Hao, extremely gentle, but also a bit strange.
They were already this far in, yet they could still smile?
Sanzang was even more direct, producing a magical decree. It was extremely terrifying, the aura released unimaginable. Tens of thousands of symbols released kengqiang noises, as if blades were resonating.
“Burial King decree!” The long life medicine was shocked. Moreover, it believed that this was a great dao magical decree inscribed seriously by that Burial King.
Hong!
The multicolored light on the platform was blasted apart. A crack appeared over there. Sanzang rushed in, even though his body shook, blood gus.h.i.+ng out from his body, he still successfully entered.
“Those two both had their preparations, having powerful Burial Kings supporting them!” The long life tree said.
s.h.i.+ Hao turned around to leave. He definitely didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate. Those two individuals both had Burial King secret treasures on them, able to protect themselves. If he rashly entered, he would undoubtedly die.
However, things exceeded his expectations!
The ancient palace’s fluctuations became increasingly intense. Auspicious light was released in endless streaks from the stairs, and then it actually began to spin about, turning into a golden vortex, swallowing everything.
“Not good!”
s.h.i.+ Hao released a strange cry. Even though he was doing everything he could, he was still surrounded by the golden vortex, swept in.
If he fell inside, without the magical artifacts Burial Kings bestowed, he would definitely die!
s.h.i.+ Hao finally knew why Shenming and Sanzang smiled, the smile so strange. It was because the two of them long foresaw that he would definitely be forced in.
This place had quite a few mysteries. He didn’t know about them, but those two did.
Kuangdang!
s.h.i.+ Hao immediately brought out the Darkness Immortal Gold Cauldron, having it quickly enlarge. s.h.i.+ Hao brought the long life medicine with him, rus.h.i.+ng inside, and then closing the lid.
In addition, he produced the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram and Everlasting Sword Core, facing it seriously.
Dang!
One could hear a clear noise. Then, there was a rumbling sound. The auspicious multicolored light continuously bombarded the Immortal Gold cauldron. Then, s.h.i.+ Hao felt as if the world was spinning. That golden vortex moved, as if it was going to make this cauldron break apart.
Sure enough, the Immortal Gold cauldron already couldn’t hold on. After all, it was cracked, long damaged.
At this time, through the cracks, he could see streak after streak of resplendent light extending over, directly drowning out the cauldron.
s.h.i.+ Hao did everything he could, displaying all of his precious techniques, resisting with full force.
However, this was meaningless. This wasn’t a confrontation at the same level of power. As soon as he made contact, the bones in his body released pi pa sounds, several dozen of them broken!
Moreover, his flesh was badly mangled, about to explode!
He brandished the Everlasting Sword Core, hacking outwards. He held the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram in defense.
However, that type of blazing radiance was everywhere, the Ten Thousand Spirit Diagram ineffective for the first time.
It was because this wasn’t a frontal attack, but rather one coming from everywhere. That type of radiance turned into water ripples, submerging this place.
Weng!
At the crucial moment, the Everlasting Sword Core trembled, releasing ascension light, forcing back the multicolored light.
However, this provoked an even more terrifying attack. This light really seemed to have condensed into water ripples, quickly pouring over, becoming even stronger.
Hu!
After a wave of trembling, crazy winds roared about. The Everlasting Sword Core floated up on its own, apart from ascension light, there were also other irregular scenes!
Up above, there was a human-shaped creature that ascended to immortality, a rain of light scattering down, filling the skies. It was too dazzling, blinding to the point where one couldn’t open their eyes.
Below, there were expanse after expanse of ancient burial regions, tombs endless, a dark red color, unknown just how many creatures were buried.
Under the blood-soaked dusky sunset, there was a human creature who sat on a copper coffin, looking lonesome and melancholic.
Blood flowed about, turning into a stream, pa.s.sing through burial lands one after another, silent and terrifying.
The ancient burial land was soaked in blood. Only that copper coffin’s place was peaceful, no blood approaching it. A human creature sat on it, head tilted, gazing towards the blood-soaked sunset.
This was the second time this scene appeared. Even under these current circ.u.mstances, it still left s.h.i.+ Hao shocked.
Right now, s.h.i.+ Hao had the misconception that the blazing multicolored light inside the dark gold coffin became blood, while the Everlasting Sword Core became that copper coffin, drifting along.
Only by grabbing the sword core could he protect himself.
This was a type of extremely strange transformation. Eventually, it was as if everything disappeared, no immortal ascension scene, nor was there any heavy destructive light.
There was only that copper coffin resting in a sea of blood.
Hong!
After who knew how much time had pa.s.sed, everything shook, and then it all disappeared. Regardless of whether it was the auspicious multicolored light, the ascension rain, or the ancient burial land and blood graves, they all vanished.
There was only s.h.i.+ Hao grabbing the Everlasting Sword Core, sitting in the cauldron.
He knew that he definitely pa.s.sed through the obstructions, entering the ancient palace.
s.h.i.+ Hao quickly put away the sword core and other things. With a kuang dang noise, he opened the cauldron lid, walking out from inside. The Immortal Gold cauldron returned to being the size of a fist, appearing in his hand.
It was clear that Sanzang and Shenming were shocked, not expecting s.h.i.+ Hao to be able to enter as well.
“Brother Huang is formidable after all, admirable!” Sanzang said.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t reply, instead staring forward. His attention was deeply captivated.
In reality, Sanzang and Shenming also immediately concentrated their attention on a consecrated object at the center of the ancient palace.
The source of the aura was actually this thing!
Right now, it was flowing with brilliant colors, dazzling radiance pervading outwards. Brilliant divine multicolored light flickered about, continuously changing, as if they arrived in a long life country.
“Origin?!” s.h.i.+ Hao asked. He narrowed his eyes, carefully sizing it up, wis.h.i.+ng to see its main body clearly.
Sanzang and Shenming were even more uneasy, really wis.h.i.+ng to immediately merge with it, become Burial Kings!
