The top of the mountain was extremely calm. The surroundings were barren and there was nothing. Apart from the white jade staircase behind him, all he could see from the top of the mountain was a sea of fire. There was no path at all. Furthermore, the mountain had a radius of several hundred meters, and there was a majestic aura around it. It was as if the surroundings were sealed. Other than the white jade stairs, there was an invisible barrier in all directions, and there was no way out.
Was this bare mountain the Octopus people's altar and imperial mausoleum? Were they worshipping the air?
Wang Zhong raised his head again and finally discovered something mysterious in the sky. There was a massive, phoenix-shaped void object floating in the air. It emitted a dark red light and quietly floated in the air. It looked like a cloud, like fog, but it also seemed to possess a physical form that could not be described with words.
Was it the corpse of a phoenix? Or was it just an illusion or projection?
Wang Zhong felt that it was a little unbelievable because the floating object was too huge. It was so huge that it felt like it was much bigger than the entire mountain range. What was even more amazing was that he did not notice such a huge object in the air when he flew over the grassland to observe it before he entered the Sacred Mountain.
At this time, he turned around to look at the stairs behind him.
The Sword Saint who had chased after him had only reached the halfway point of the mountain. His speed was obviously slower than Wang Zhong's, but he was also more stable. His condition was also more relaxed, and he even seemed to be devout when he took a step.
It was not that the other party could not speed up, but he was not in a hurry at all. With reverence and devoutness for this Sacred Mountain, the other party obviously knew this Sacred Mountain better than Wang Zhong. He had probably calculated that Wang Zhong would not be able to leave the top of the mountain. If he ran up, he could only sit there and wait for death.
Other than this Sword Saint, there were no other experts chasing after him, but Wang Zhong could see about seven or eight Sword Saints and Warlock Saints waiting on the white jade stairs at the foot of the mountain. Further away, a huge flying legion had gathered outside the Pilroni Sacred Mountain. They should be the Octopus people soldiers from the nearby fortresses who had received the order to search for and be on guard. There were dozens of people in each fortress, and hundreds of people from the fortresses had gathered together. There were thousands of them, and all of them were the hidden elites of the Octopus people. They were riding huge double-headed dragons, frost snakes, and so on. They densely surrounded the Pilroni Sacred Mountain, and it was a spectacular sight.
In order to catch him, the Octopus people had really put in a lot of effort. However, why didn't the Octopus people send such a large force to the battlefield? There were many creatures that had never been heard of. What were they waiting for?
"Lao Wang, we can't keep waiting here. Think of a way!" Simba said. "I feel that we can go up the mountain!"
Now, he could only go up and take a look.
The Soul Power Circuit instantly covered Wang Zhong's entire body, and his body shone with a golden light. Wang Zhong wanted to fly into the air, but he realized that no matter how much he urged his Soul Power, there was no airflow around him. His Soul Power could only circulate within his body and couldn't be used externally. He couldn't fly at all. This place was filled with the aura of a supreme being, and this behavior was forbidden.
Wang Zhong tried to jump high again. With the terrifying explosive power of his legs, it was easy for him to jump dozens of meters high, but it still didn't work.
"Let me do it, let me do it!" Simba shouted, asking Wang Zhong to throw him up.
With the explosive power of his arms, he could throw Simba over even if he was thousands of meters away. However, Simba, who was almost scared to death when he fell from the sky, didn't even touch the object in the air. According to it, it was still too far away.
Salamander also came out, and the black iron chain that extended infinitely flew straight up into the air. However, even this infinitely extending chain couldn't do it. This was not a problem of distance at all. It felt like space. It was right in front of him, but it seemed to be far away.
Wang Zhong couldn't get close to it using all sorts of methods, but the Sword Saint on the white jade stairs had already walked two-thirds of the way up.
Simba was a little dumbfounded. "What's going on?"
Tatamu, who had been pretending to be invisible, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. This human couldn't leave, and it didn't matter if he was trapped here. What was more important was that when the Octopus Sword Saint came up, a servant like him would be seen as desecrating the Octopus people if he came to this place. He would only die. "It's over, it's over. The most dangerous place is indeed the most dangerous place. Tatamu said that we can't come here. Only the Octopus people can enter the forbidden area. I've never heard of any alien race escaping to this place …"
Wang Zhong turned his head. He had almost forgotten about this guy. "Is that place really the forbidden area of the Octopus people? You've been here before? "
"How could Tatamu have been to such a place before? But that's the relic of the Phoenix God. There are all kinds of totems in the imperial city, and I'm sick of looking at them …" Tatamu sighed. It had been controlling the mechanisms and singing in the laboratory, but it had somehow been kidnapped by a test subject and brought to such a place. It was even forced to be on the same boat as the test subject, and it was in such a miserable state. What kind of sin had it gone through?
However, Wang Zhong's eyes lit up. "Totems? Since it's the forbidden area of the Octopus people, how did they enter? You better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will throw you back to experience the baptism of the Octopus people's Holy Land. "
Tatamu was already helpless. This human kept threatening it. "The royal family has the way to enter. During the sacrifice, they will naturally open the seal. It is said that even Heroic Souls can come up at that time."
Wang Zhong furrowed his eyebrows. This answer was not good news. "So only the royal family has the way to enter the forbidden area in the sky. Is it some kind of mechanism or spell?"
"Half-and-half …" Tatamu probably thought that it was going to die, so it didn't use honorifics anymore. It was rather dejected.
"What do you mean by half-and-half?" Simba came up to it fiercely. "Speak quickly! I'm still hungry! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" The dejected Tatamu shivered. Although it felt that it was going to die, if it had to choose between being slashed to death by a Sword Saint or being eaten alive by these two demons, it definitely wouldn't choose the latter.
It forcefully raised its spirits and said, "My master … No, no, no, that Octopus Warlock Saint once followed the royal family to sacrifice to the heavens. I heard from him that the way to enter the forbidden area is not through any spell or mechanism, but through the blood of the royal family. The forbidden area in the sky is closely related to the royal family of the Octopus people. In order to protect them, only those with pure royal blood and who have been recognized by the forbidden area can bring people in. It seems that they have to drip some blood on the top of the mountain or something … Ah! "
Tatamu screamed before it could finish speaking. Wang Zhong didn't show any mercy, but considering that it was still cooperative, he only cut off a small part of its leg this time.
"Shut up!" Simba threatened. "Otherwise, I'll cut off more!"
Tatamu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. It had actually taken the initiative to help these two demons. It was really looking for trouble for itself. From the small part of its leg that was cut off, a black liquid dripped out. It was the color of the Polylegs' blood, and it had a fishy smell.
Wang Zhong casually sprinkled the blood all over the top of the mountain. In some places, there was no reaction when the blood dripped down, but in other places, the blood quickly soaked into the soil and emitted white steam. When the blood reached the center of the mountain, there was a relatively strong reaction from the ground. A rather simple and unadorned ancient array faintly flashed on the ground, as if it had smelled the blood and was attracted. However, it was a pity that the ancient array dimmed in just a few seconds. It was obvious that it was not interested in the black blood at all.
There was indeed something! Wang Zhong suddenly felt a little regretful. When he handed over the corpse of Sword Saint Heinrich, he would have been able to use it now if he had kept a leg or an arm. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Wang Zhong did not hesitate and used the Nebula Sword to make a cut on his finger.
The blood of the Octopus people was red like that of humans. Perhaps he could pass it off as real? At this time, he could only try it as a last resort. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he would try it first.
Simba widened his eyes in anticipation. Tatamu also widened its eyes, but there was not anticipation in its eyes. It was speechless.
This human was simply a joke! Did he think that it would work just because it was all red blood? Not to mention humans, even the Octopus people would not be able to open the passage to the forbidden area in the sky, unless they had royal blood, like Warlock Saint Sauron.
But before Tatamu could complete its thoughts, something miraculous happened.
The moment Wang Zhong's blood dripped onto the ground, the unadorned array on the ground suddenly lit up. It was extremely dazzling, and red light overflowed in all directions!
Soon after, the entire ancient magic formation let out a buzzing sound. One could feel that the dense Primordial Qi around the mountain peak was crazily gathering towards the center of the magic formation. Then, a pillar of light that reached the heavens shot up from the ancient magic formation!
"This, this, this, this?! So you are not a despicable human. You are our prince? A … mixed-blood? " Tatamu was pleasantly surprised. Happiness had come too suddenly. Could it be that this person had a special identity? Was it living in a dream?
"Your whole family is mixed-blood!" Wang Zhong slapped its head. If it had not provided useful information, he would have punished it. At this moment, he grabbed it and threw it into the pillar of light. "Scout the way!"
Before Tatamu could react, it was already in the pillar of light. Before it had the time to be afraid, it felt a gentle force rising from the bottom of the pillar of light. This force lifted its body and lifted it into the world in the sky that the pillar of light was connected to.
"It's useful. Lao Wang, hurry, let's go!" Simba shouted loudly and returned to Wang Zhong's Soul Sea.
This was also the reason why Wang Zhong left Tatamu behind. After all, in a completely unfamiliar place, such a local tyrant was still useful. Wang Zhong took a step forward. The moment he used the energy from the pillar of light to soar into the sky, he saw a Sword Saint standing on the white jade stairs, dumbfounded.
Pievrov was considered a relatively young Sword Saint. When he became a Sword Saint, he was only 39 years old. At this moment, he still looked very young. He was ordered to guard the Moon Guard Fortress and was also the guardian of the Forbidden Land this year. When he received news that someone wanted to invade the Forbidden Land, and it was a human wanted criminal, Pievrov naturally took action immediately. He was also the first Sword Saint to rush to the foot of the Sacred Mountain. Pievrov was a member of the Sword Faction, but due to his responsibilities, he could not chase after the human who killed his junior brother. He did not expect the human to come to him!
Not only could he make a contribution, but he could also retrieve his divine sword. Just thinking about it made him excited.
