The Dayue Slope was a strange place.
The slope was not steep, it was in the shape of a half-moon, which was how it got its name. It looked desolate and barren, the terrain was vast.
According to legend, this used to be the place where the ancient beasts got close to the gods. No one knew how it changed to this lifeless state.
Whether it was day or night, it was always gray and foggy. The scenery was dark and gloomy.
When Ye Fan and the others stepped into this area, they did not see any plants or insects. There were no living creatures, not even birds passed by this place.
The Dayue Slope was desolate as if no one had entered it for hundreds of thousands of years. It was silent and deserted.
However, according to the Nine-tailed Crocodragon, this slope was not like this in the past. Some ancient beasts told some anecdotes that the Dayue Slope was once an important place in the Mythological Era. It was not as desolate as it was now.
There was an Mythological Era? This made people confused. What happened to the Dayue Slope that made it become such an abandoned place?
White bones and rotten corpses appeared on the ground from time to time. The fog lingered. It was noon, but it looked like dusk.
The Yin Qi in this area was heavy. Ye Fan and Longma were on guard. They were not completely at ease with the Nine-tailed Crocodragon. This ferocious beast complained that it was wronged, saying that it did not have any bad intentions.
After knowing the background of Ye Fan and Longma, the Nine-tailed Crocodragon decided to follow them. It had already put away the messy thoughts in its mind.
With the upcoming war on the ancient starry sky path, it felt that it would be safer to follow the filthy Longma and the unfathomable divine body.
Whoosh!
A streak of divine light flashed in the distance. Even though it was separated by mist and dense fog, it still could not escape Ye Fan's Heavenly Magic Eyes. He had already become a saint, the doors to the treasure in his body had opened even more, his spiritual senses were even sharper.
Two hundred miles away, there was a strong creature. It moved swiftly and turned into a beam of light, crossing the quiet land.
"Didn't you say that there are no living creatures in this area?" Longma was suspicious. He was afraid that the Crocodragon had set a trap for them.
The Nine-tailed Crocodragon was also very puzzled. It explained seriously and led the way in front to find out what was going on.
The mist in front of them was even thicker. It was as if they were shrouded by leaden clouds. There were many bones on the ground, but they had long since decayed. When one stepped on them, they would make a 'ka ka' sound as they instantly rotted.
"It's a stone wolf!"
Ye Fan's heart sank and a strange expression appeared on his face. Currently, the Tenth City and this ancient planet were filled with tension and panic as the Sacred Spirit was about to attack. Now, they actually saw a Stone Wolf. This was definitely not a good sign.
Holy Spirits were nurtured by the heavens and blessed by the heavens. They were extremely powerful the moment they were born.
However, things like fate were hard to predict. The more the Heavens favored them, the more they were prone to accidents.
This stone wolf's fate was full of misfortune. It didn't have a human body, and its wolf body was also very flawed. An accident had happened during the process of incubation, and it was far from the consummate level.
It only had three legs, and there was a terrifying crack on its head. Perhaps it had come to this world hundreds of thousands of years in advance.
Even so, the blood and qi in its body were monstrous. It contained a vast amount of Sacred Blood and Qi that could sweep out like a tsunami at any time.
"The Saint Realm is very difficult to deal with." Longma revealed a solemn expression.
No one was willing to go against a Sacred Spirit. This kind of thing was naturally powerful and had mastered many nature-defying laws. In a battle of the same level, it could almost sweep away all its opponents as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
After advancing for more than eight hundred miles, they gradually approached the depths of the Great Moon Slope. The gray mist had thinned a little, and some of the scenery on the barren horizon could be seen.
"An ancient castle … there's an ancient castle!" The nine Crocodragons' expressions changed drastically, and they could not help but exclaim.
It was a magnificent ancient castle that looked like the residence of a demon god. It was engraved with the traces of time, and emitted a majestic and dignified aura as it sat on the ground.
"Didn't you say that there are no living beings in the Great Moon Slope?" Longma doubted it again.
"According to what I know, there are no living beings in the Great Moon Slope. However, it's obvious that something strange has happened. I've thought of some legends. "The Nine-tailed Crocodragon's expression was uncertain.
"Legends? Don't tell me it's something related to the Age of Legends. "Longma looked askance at it.
"That's right, it's related to this." The nine Crocodragons revealed a solemn expression.
"Then tell me about it." Ye Fan gestured for it to tell the truth. The Great Moon Slope was a strange place. It contained the oldest secrets of this ancient planet, so there should be many secrets.
"According to the legends, every hundred thousand years, when a crack appears in the Graveyard of Deities and Ghosts, it will be accompanied by the appearance of a magnificent ancient castle and other unusual sights." The Nine-tailed Crocodragon told them some of the anecdotes it knew.
This was an abandoned land with a very ancient history. It was usually exceptionally quiet, and there was nothing but gray mist and dead silence.
Strange sights would only appear in special eras, and all kinds of ancient ruins would appear. Since there were rumors that this place had a glorious past in the Age of Legends, it wasn't hard to associate this place with the past. This place buried everything from the Age of Legends before the Age of Legends!
Some people believed that there were terrifying things in the Graveyard of Deities and Ghosts. There were unknown secrets and it wasn't over yet. If someone entered, they might be able to obtain some ancient weapons. It might even be a great fortune.
"A dust-covered ancient land." Ye Fan muttered to himself. He thought of many things.
In the depths of the universe, there was a Holy Spirit General leading a magnificent army to attack the ancient road of humanity. Two holy cities had already been destroyed and the ancient road had been severed.
There was no such thing as a war without a reason. If it wasn't because of hatred, then it was because of benefits. They wanted to plot some world-defying things.
Now that he saw a stone wolf scouting the way here, Ye Fan had reason to believe that things were getting more and more complicated. The Holy Spirit's goal in attacking the ancient road of humanity wasn't small.
The Age of Legends was long, and there were many abandoned lands. This place was one of the Holy Spirit's targets, but not the only one. It could be assumed that on the ancient road, such places wouldn't be too few.
"What is the Holy Spirit looking for?" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
The nine crocodiles had seen many things. Because this ancient planet's inheritance was extraordinary, it had always been suitable for cultivation and had never declined. It had heard many secrets from its predecessors.
"I've heard that in the Age of Legends before the Archaic Age, there was an ancient technique that could allow imperfect Holy Spirits to achieve perfection through hard work. That was an era where they could approach deities."
Could it be that the Holy Spirit that appeared in the depths of the universe was searching for such things? This made people vigilant and uneasy.
"This is an ancient road that belongs to the human race. I believe that the human race's strength isn't that weak. There should have been people who had seen through the Holy Spirit's goal. But now, we can't care so much. It's more important for us to work hard and increase our strength."
They were whispering to each other while moving stealthily and soundlessly, arriving at the depths of the Great Moon Slope.
The ancient castle was enormous and boundlessly grand. It was faintly discernible as waves of demonic roars transmitted from it. It was exceptionally terrifying.
However, when they approached it several times, the ancient castle became dim and unstable. It turned into an illusory image and couldn't be entered.
In front of them, the stone wolf was the same. It tried many times to no avail and had already arrived at the center of the slope.
"There's a huge door there!"
The ancient castle and the others had disappeared. A huge stone door was closed and towered on the ground. It was several hundred zhang in height as if it was specially built for demonic gods.
There were no buildings behind the door. It was connected to the void as if it could be used to enter another world.
"I understand now. Both the ancient castle and this pair of huge doors are entrances. We can enter the Graveyard of Deities and Ghosts through them." The nine-tailed crocodiles came to a realization.
"Look, there's a formation over there. There's a Holy Beast receiving it," Longma said.
In front of the huge door, layers of dao patterns were densely covered. Specks of flowing light flickered like a clear and crystalline lake that was connected to the huge door.
That was a wild fox that was currently protecting this formation. Its expression was focused. In front of it was a stone altar with a resplendent golden divine egg on it.
"Tyrant Dragon's child!" Ye Fan and the others' expressions changed. They immediately knew the origins of this golden dragon egg.
A wild fox was protecting a stone altar with a golden divine egg placed on it. When facing this pair of enormous stone doors, it seemed incomparably strange.
This wild fox was extremely powerful, a Holy Beast. Its blood energy was restrained, but that type of terrifying aura could still be sensed by others. In this desolate land, there was no need for it to hide its cultivation.
When the stone wolf arrived, the wild fox immediately welcomed it. It muttered softly, transmitting sound through divine senses as if they were communicating about something.
It was clear that the descendant of the Tuolan Sacred Beast King and the Great Sage level Tyrant Dragon was here. This was the result of the ancient star's experts colluding with the outer realm's Holy Spirit powers. Stealing it would be of great use.
"This egg is not simple, even the eggshell has strands of divine patterns. Those are clearly the imprints of the Great Sage." Longma was shocked.
Even if it was a Holy Beast, their descendants would be different from the masses, extremely powerful, but it was impossible for there to be these types of divine patterns in the egg. Only during the process of growth would they gradually transform into Holy Beasts.
The nine crocodiles said with trembling voices, "Several years ago, the ruler of this ancient star, that Great Sage level Tyrant Dragon Monarch passed away. It was rumored that before his death, he displayed a heaven-defying divine ability, passing down his life's dao fruit to help his descendants."
"Too heaven-defying! Once this divine egg hatches into a Tyrant Dragon, its future accomplishments will be unfathomable!" Longma said with a sigh. Using a Great Sage's entire life's dao as a gift, this was definitely heaven-defying.
"I fear that it is precisely because of this that this divine egg was plundered and transported here." Ye Fan said.
The wild fox chanted an incantation. The stone altar shone, and the golden divine egg immediately shone with immortal splendor. It was resplendent and dazzling, and golden divine multicolored light overflowed like water ripples.
Layer upon layer of dao patterns interweaved, and the entire formation was activated. It connected to that huge stone door, and waves of rumbling sounds rang out.
The stone door that was connected to the Graveyard of Gods and Spirits was trembling violently, emitting waves of grinding sounds. A huge force was circulating, causing it to slowly move, and a gap appeared.
"They want to open the Graveyard of the Era of Legends!" Ye Fan's expression changed. This was definitely a terrifying abandoned land.
He occupied an advantageous position and signaled Longma and the nine-tailed crocodiles to spread out, preparing to block the stone wolf and the wild fox's path of retreat.
