Chapter 759 This place is a battlefield!
Ancient Immortal Realm.
Inside the lair of the Ten Fiends.
As Shi Hao, Lin Dong, and the others stepped into the depths of the nest, the area around the mysterious skeleton immediately became quiet again.
However, the closure of the stone gate did not stop the other cultivators from proceeding.
Soon other cultivators arrived and rushed through the three stone gates.
In fact, ever since news of the Ten Fiends' lair was spread in Bright City, a large number of cultivators have been flocking to this dangerous land almost every day.
This place is now like a giant battlefield, where countless people rush in hoping for a chance, but only a very few manage to come out alive with good fortune.
Many more remained forever on this dark red land, turning into cold corpses.
……
The world behind the stone gate is completely different from the outside.
As soon as Shi Hao led his men inside, they were greeted by a dense surge of spiritual energy so rich it was almost condensed into droplets.
These vital energies contain vibrant life force; inhaling them makes them feel refreshed and invigorated, as if they were in a sacred, pure land.
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
Sensing the surrounding spiritual energy, Qian Renxue couldn't help but exclaim, "The cultivation environment here is many times better than outside!"
After taking a deep breath, Luo Dao also showed a look of intoxication on his face: "This place is simply a holy land for cultivation. If I can go into seclusion here for a period of time, my cultivation can at least break through a small realm."
Lan Yichen remained vigilant: "Everyone should be careful. The more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it often is..."
Shi Hao nodded and began to look around the place.
The space here is extremely vast, with various spiritual herbs and exotic flowers and plants growing on the surrounding rock walls, and a layer of soft green grass covering the ground, making no sound when stepped on.
In the distance, one can vaguely see ancient buildings, some of which have collapsed, while others are still well preserved.
"Let's go and take a look ahead."
Shi Hao took the lead and walked along a bluestone path deeper into the area.
The group followed closely behind, cautiously observing their surroundings as they walked.
After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a colorful ribbon suddenly floated across the void ahead.
The ribbons were silent and vibrant, like the sunset on the horizon, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
But the moment the ribbon appeared, Shi Hao felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Watch out!"
He shouted and retreated rapidly, spreading his Kunpeng wings to sweep up Qian Renxue, Luo Dao, Lan Yichen, Hong Huang and the others around him, and flew away.
The ribbon drifted silently past where they had just stood, carving a deep trench in the ground.
"That was close!!!"
Qian Renxue's face turned pale, and she murmured as she looked at the ravine with lingering fear.
Shi Hao was about to say something.
But just then, a series of screams suddenly came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw that the colorful ribbon had flown past them and bumped into another group of cultivators who had just entered through the stone gate.
There were dozens of cultivators, all disciples from various sects who had come to search for the treasure after hearing the news. Before they could react, the ribbon grazed their bodies.
Wherever the ribbons passed, the bodies of those cultivators were sliced in two as if made of paper.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people lay dead in pools of blood.
No one was spared...
"This……"
Lan Yichen couldn't help but gasp.
He hadn't expected the ribbons to be so powerful. Shi Hao frowned: "What are these things?"
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a remnant of some ancient restriction. Although time has passed, its power is still terrifying. We need to be careful; there might be more than one of these..."
"Um……"
Shi Hao nodded, then continued to lead the group around that area and forward.
However, the road ahead was even more difficult.
Shi Hao and his companions encountered all sorts of strange restrictions and ferocious beasts here, and almost every level was extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, Shi Hao, relying on his powerful physical body and the Kunpeng's extreme speed, finally led the others through the perilous ordeal.
After passing through fifty levels, Shi Hao and his companions finally overcame all the obstacles and arrived at the bottom of the portal.
This is an open space, filled with an extremely dense chaotic energy that surges like clouds and mist.
There were some broken magical artifacts and rotten wood scattered on the ground, indicating that someone had been here before, but ultimately failed to leave.
In the very center of the space, there is a simple and unadorned futon.
The prayer mat was covered in dust, clearly indicating that it had been unused for countless years.
Around the futon, the chaotic energy was most concentrated, almost condensing into liquid and flowing on the ground.
Just as Shi Hao was about to go over and take a look, he saw several corpses lying next to the prayer mat.
The bones of those corpses were crystal clear, emitting a faint glow. Even though they had been dead for countless years, one could still feel the terrifying aura they possessed in life.
On the skeleton of one of the corpses.
There were even remnants of runes still flickering.
He was clearly a highly skilled expert in his lifetime.
"Those are... the remains of a true god, and a peak true god at that!"
Looking at the skeletons, Luo Dao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Lan Yichen pointed to another corpse and said warily, "This is the corpse of a sect leader. There are still traces of Daoist energy on his bones. He was at least at the Escape Realm when he was alive..."
Qian Renxue frowned and said, "Even the True God and the Sect Leader died here. What is it here that could attract so many people at once?"
Shi Hao did not answer, but his gaze fell on the corpses, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
He carefully walked up to a corpse, squatted down, and began to examine it closely.
The skeleton had obvious fracture marks, as if it had been shattered by some terrifying force.
A faint black aura remained at the broken point.
The aura was cold and decaying, exactly the same as the aura of the chaotic corpse he had encountered outside the Ten Fiends' lair.
"This was... killed by the Chaos Corpse?"
Shi Hao rested his chin on his hand and murmured softly.
With Han Li not around, no one can give him a definite answer.
But Shi Hao could sense that the black aura contained an extremely terrifying power of death.
Even after countless years, it has not faded away.
"Everyone be careful..."
Shi Hao stood up, his grip on the Void Halberd tightening instantly: "There might be a Chaos Corpse here..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
The previous Chaos Corpse, a Celestial God Realm expert, had already put them on the brink of death.
If there is something even more powerful here, then they are likely in grave danger.
