Dead land
"Howl …"
This was a place where ghosts wailed and wolves howled. The entire world was gloomy, and the dense black clouds were close to the ground, giving people a sense of oppression like a mountain. If an ordinary person approached this place, they would definitely be crushed by this invisible pressure.
A jet-black, ink-like mist slowly rose from a huge mountain in this region. It wiggled in all directions like numerous demons as it wildly corroded everything around it, causing the huge mountain to be completely devoid of life. There was not even a single blade of grass. It was a barren wasteland, with only the sturdy mountain rocks present. What was even more unbearable was that there was a nauseating aura drifting around the area around the huge mountain. Those ghostly wails and wolf howls that caused one's heart to be in chaos were coming from beneath the huge mountain.
No one knew where this place was, and there were no living creatures here.
"Hehe …"
A gloomy laughter rang out from the midst of the ghostly wails and wolf howls. It seemed to be filled with pride as it preached in an incomparably seductive tone. "My people, contribute more lives to me as a sacrifice. I will bestow upon you even greater power, the power to destroy the heavens and the earth … Hehe!"
"How many years has it been? That old thing would never expect me to be immortal. I'm eternal. No one can kill me. Hehe! "
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, the mountain began to shake violently, causing the ground within a thousand miles to tremble. It was as if a great earthquake had occurred, and a series of loud noises could be heard from tens of thousands of miles away.
However, despite this being the case, this great mountain didn't move in the slightest. Not even a small mountain rock fell. It took root, as if it was one with the great earth. As long as heaven and earth didn't perish, the great mountain wouldn't fall.
"Damned seal! Damn that old man! If I get out, I will definitely kill all living beings to avenge the hatred in my heart! "
A gloomy and ruthless voice came from beneath the mountain. It sounded like a devil's howl, and the surrounding wind blew, causing the sky to darken.
All of a sudden, the surroundings returned to silence. There were no more ghostly cries or wolf howls, no more tremors, and no more violent gales. Even the ink-black clouds in the surroundings had seeped back into the mountain and disappeared. It was dead silent, as if nothing had happened.
"Swoosh!"
A crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the mountain, and a middle-aged man in gray walked out of it. He floated above the mountain, and his eyes were bright and clear, as if he could see through all nothingness. He constantly scanned the movements of the mountain, as if he wanted to find something.
"Strange, the seal is intact. Why do I smell something disgusting?"
After carefully looking back and forth a few times, the middle-aged man did not find the slightest abnormality. He slightly wrinkled the tip of his nose and frowned.
"Swoosh!"
He hesitated for a while, then approached the mountain, stretched out a palm, and pressed it on the mountain. He carefully sensed it. After a while, he withdrew his palm, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He murmured, "Could it be an illusion?"
He wrinkled the tip of his nose, but he still smelled the disgusting smell. Immediately, his frown deepened. "Could it be that the smell is drifting out because it has been accumulating for many years?"
The middle-aged man carefully explored the surroundings, but still didn't find anything strange.
"Add another seal!"
For some unknown reason, he faintly felt uneasy in his heart. With a single thought, his hands began to form hand seals. One after another, complicated and jerky hand seals were continuously formed. The wind and clouds in the surroundings surged, and the aura from his entire body was vast and matchless. He was like a god standing there with an awe-inspiring might.
"Seal!"
His eyes shot out divine light, and he shouted. He formed a mysterious seal with one hand, and it sank into the mountain. A light flashed, and the mountain returned to normal.
After doing all this, the middle-aged man floated there, panting slightly. It seemed that this seal had taken a lot of his strength. His face was pale, and sweat was rolling down.
Seeing that there was still no movement on the mountain, he was slightly relieved.
"There should be no problem now, right?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the mountain again. His hand broke through the air, and he stepped inside, leaving behind a dead silence.
Many years had passed, but there was still no movement here. Everything was as usual …
"Swoosh!"
The space was cut open again, and the middle-aged man's aura was vast. He walked out again, looked around, and still didn't find anything strange. He was slightly stunned. "Could it be that I sensed wrongly?"
After carefully inspecting it once more, he sighed and left.
"Hehe …"
A few hours after he left, a gloomy and proud laughter came from under the mountain again, resounding for thousands of miles and shaking the space.
"Boom!"
After the great mountain trembled violently, a mark condensed from lustrous light shattered with a loud bang, turning into specks of starlight that sprinkled down.
"Howl …"
The wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves rang out from within the mountain once again, and the entire world returned to its original state.
"No one can seal me except that old ghost. Hehe …"
A gloomy and ruthless howl rippled out. It seemed to be incomparably arrogant. Following this howl, streams of ink-like energy once again flowed out from some tiny holes on the mountain, forming black clouds that seemed to want to annihilate the world.
"No seal is eternal. Old ghost, you are too arrogant. You overestimated yourself and underestimated me!"
The pitch-black energy rampaged on the mountain, forming tiny tornadoes, drilling and grinding on the hard mountain. After a long time, they would leave marks that became deeper and deeper.
"The day of my success is coming! Hehe! "
The gloomy voice was full of bloodthirst and ferocity, and it called out with endless temptation, "My people, listen to my call and send me living creatures. Your God is hungry …"
"Swoosh!"
A crack appeared in the sky once again. Desolate beasts and lifeless humans fell out of the crack and landed on the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
"Delicious, hehe …"
Black Qi lingered and shrouded the whole area. Shrill screams came from inside, as if they were suffering from some inhuman torture, which made people feel bone-chilling. After a while, the black Qi faded slightly, and there was no trace left in the whole area, not even a trace of blood. It was as if nothing had happened.
