Chapter 1563 - Burial King’s Request
A giant grave towered in the limits of heaven and earth, extremely tall and lofty, reaching into the clouds. It was dark red in color, the soil as if previously soaked in blood.
This was extremely strange, and also extremely shocking. It was actually a great grave that appeared in this world! Moreover, there was a pa.s.sage that extended out from it, connecting to this place. What did it want to do?
Everyone looked in this direction, every single one of their hearts pounding, feeling a type of indescribable oppressed feeling, as if their souls were being reaped.
This was still the result of the ten thousand banners sealing this place. Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t dare believe how terrifying the pressure from that great grave was.
“This is… the grave mounds of undead knights?” Someone said with a low voice, coming to this conclusion.
In reality, there weren’t many from the foreign side who knew about burial knights, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths knowing even less, not many at all.
Inside the copper prison, s.h.i.+ Hao’s pupils rapidly contracted. He watched carefully, still remaining silent.
It was because he only learned about undead knights not long ago too, knowing that these creatures existed. Before that, he had never come into contact with them before.
Now, a great grave appeared before them, as if it was located in the endless past. Primal chaos surged, black mist curling about, truly a frightening scene.
When facing it, it was as if one was looking at the entrance into h.e.l.l, souls even sinking, about to be sucked in.
Hong!
Heaven and earth trembled, the great grave shook. A crack appeared, pitch-black like ink, as if it was connected to the most terrifying abyss.
At the same time, all types of miraculous scenes appeared in that direction, for example, a sea of corpses, an endless sea of blood surging, extending past the gloomy grave regions.
In the end, everything disappeared, only an ancient land remaining. Ancient tombs were everywhere, weeds overgrown, extremely overcast. There was a large grave at the center that was the most striking.
“Burial Region!”
Everyone realized what this was. Things were now much more troublesome.
This great grave didn’t appear from the great desert, but rather from the far off Burial Region. However, it now clearly appeared who knew how many tens of thousands of li out, moreover producing a path.
What was it trying to do? Was it trying to stop the undying kings?
Forget about the great army, even the undying beings were shocked. At their level, these individuals naturally knew about that ancient land. This was a place with just too many strange and terrifying things.
In the past, there were foreign cultivators who dug up a mysterious great grave in Burial Region, which led to many clans being wiped out. These were extremely powerful King Clans, yet their ancestral lands were turned into scorched earth, bones everywhere.
It was precisely because of that frightening event that the foreign higher levels truly understood how terrifying Burial Region was.
From then on, even though they really wanted to know the secrets of what happened several great eras ago, understand whether there were creatures of even higher levels, they became incredibly cautious, controlling themselves.
Right at this time, a rusted bronze carriage drove over along the dark light path, pulled by eight giant pegasi with rotten wings.
There were still descendants of pegasi in this world, but their bloodlines weren’t pure. True unmatched pegasi had practically gone extinct. They were one of the best mounts.
Now, eight exceptionally robust, but ones whose flesh carried rotting auras pulled the bronze chariot over, bringing with it an underworld aura.
Honglonglong!
The eight pegasi moved faster and faster. Eventually, the brilliance they released surpa.s.sed lightning. As they pulled the bronze carriage, rumbling noises like thunder sounded.
Something shocking happened. The rotting smell from the pegasi’s bodies became weaker, their fur starting to s.h.i.+ne. At the same time, their rotting wings also began to change, displaying vitality.
Eventually, the eight large pegasi’s fur became glossy like satin, extremely heroic looking. Their bodies produced dragon scales, the feathers on their backs released electricity, creating pi pa sounds, starting to move about. They really were as fast as lightning, stirring on electricity as they arrived.
Everyone became stupefied, because the eight pegasi revived. They were large and powerful, extremely heroic, all of them wanting these as their mounts,
There were some that were scarlet red like blood lightning, some releasing purple lightning, purple energy rising from the east, surrounding its body, some golden, resplendent like a blazing sun, miraculous and incomparable, some entirely pitch-black, dark light surging…
“Eight Horse Diagram’s pegasus!”
Someone cried out in alarm. The foreign cultivators were clearly extremely shocked, because they dug up some information from Burial Region’s outer areas. There were some stone engravings that had eight special pegasi, identical to what they were seeing themselves now.
The bronze carriage was extremely large and s.p.a.cious, seated on the cart shaft was a dried corpse, shriveled and pet.i.te. As they arrived, it also underwent a transformation.
Its body expanded, no longer being just skin and bones, instead starting to surge with life force. It became an elder whose eyes were like golden lamps, spirit hale and hearty, only, he couldn’t be considered tall, to the extent where he was quite short.
“Ah li gu la…” He spoke while seated on the bronze carriage, not showing the ancestral altar any great respect. He spoke some words, actually indicating for the undying kings to get on the carriage.
There were many people in the foreign army who wanted to shout out. In their opinion, undying kings couldn’t be blasphemed against, everyone had to show them the utmost respect.
This elder urged the carriage over, actually just this openly. He clearly wasn’t a true Burial Land lord, yet he invited the great ancestors of this world.
There were undying beings who gestured, not allowing them to speak.
That was why this place was extremely quiet. Everyone only watched, no one truly acting out.
It was clear that the foreign side’s higher levels felt great restraining fear towards Burial Region.
Then, what was completely unexpected was that there were undying kings who nodded, and then with an en sound, actually agreed to get on the carriage, hold a meeting with them.
“What is going on? The creatures of Burial Region are inviting my side’s great ancestors into Burial Land?” Someone said out of shock.
“Shush, don’t speak randomly!” A great cultivator reminded.
Honglong!
On the altar, the figures disappeared, that place no longer indistinct, now lacking primal chaos as well. Instead, primal chaos began to disperse about the rust-filled bronze carriage.
Then, the entire ancient chariot became blurry, unable to be seen clearly.
Moreover, in the carriage’s surroundings, some more narrow streams of time flowed past, the scene world shocking.
The undying kings got on the carriage, really going to this meeting!
“You all head back and wait calmly. You all are not permitted to take half a step into Burial Region!” This was Shutuo’s voice, clearly transmitted to every single leader’s ears, giving the order.
No one expected this type of unforeseen event to happen!
There were powerful undead knights from the mysterious Burial Region who actually took the initiative to appear, moreover directly stopped the undying kings here, inviting them into Burial Land!
For normal foreign cultivators, none of them understood this species, none of them understanding what was going on at all.
Meanwhile, those who had somewhat come into contact with this, moreover knowing a bit, they were greatly shaken up. Were the low-profile undead knights going to emerge into this world?!
They actually stopped the undying kings, about to bring them into Burial Land!
In reality, many creatures wanted to stop this, even a few undying beings couldn’t hold themselves back, wis.h.i.+ng to object, because the depths of Burial Region could definitely be considered a dragon pool, tiger’s den, not a place they should recklessly enter!
After all these years, the more they understood, the more they felt that that place was terrifying.
One had to understand that for these existences, a single slumber would last half a great era. Their origins, birth, and other information were shrouded in mist, sinister and terrifying.
However, no one dared to doubt the decision of the undying kings, only able to watch as they moved.
Dark light flickered about. That black great path led straight to the heaven reaching blood-colored great grave at the limits of the horizon!
The eight pegasi cried out, releasing terrifying life energy from their bodies. They beated their wings, quickly pulling the bronze chariot into the distance, vanis.h.i.+ng in almost the blink of an eye.
Hong!
The bronze carriage charged straight into a black crack in the grave, as if it was entering the underworld, its traces thus nowhere to be seen!
They left just like that, leaving most of the people here speechless, everyone extremely confused.
“Withdraw!”
An undying being spoke. The great army went on their way, all of them heading in the foreign side’s direction.
At the same time, several streaks of electricity moved through the air, these were the few undying existences who returned to the foreign side a step earlier. They didn’t waste any time here, wis.h.i.+ng to go back and discuss some matters first, make some decisions.
It was because the undying kings had entered the depths of Burial Earth, this was definitely a huge matter.
From the past until now, no Burial Kings had appeared in this world, yet today, they made this type of display, wis.h.i.+ng to meet Anlan, Shutuo, and the others. What exactly was going on in Burial Earth?
“Are great changes about to happen?!”
Inside Imperial Pa.s.s, someone said quietly, obtaining secret intelligence, coming to this type of opinion after seeing the present situation.
Outside Desolate Border, the foreign great army also had some people who frowned, feeling like the situation was now complicated. This really was an eventful period.
At the limits of the great desert, a lush forest appeared. Those ancient trees were extremely giant, some of them alone, like great mountains towering into the clouds.
s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t say a single word. He was locked up in the prisoner carriage, unable to even turn around, only able to see before him, follow them into the other side!
They pa.s.sed through the forest, crossing some ancient mountain regions, pa.s.sed by some place rich with chaotic energy. Finally, they entered a brand new world!
Goodbye, Imperial Pa.s.s!
Goodbye, old land!
For s.h.i.+ Hao, he was leaving the great world he was born in, now entering the other side as a prisoner alone.
Hong!
After entering this ancient land, he clearly sensed that something was different, as if there were large streaks of lightning digging into his body, shaking up every part of his body.
Moreover, even his blood was rumbling, as if about to boil.
These were dao laws, perfect, flawless great dao. It descended from the heavens above. For him, this was like being tempered by a hammer!
