On the boundless bloody land, the three mountains were like paper. Under the surging of the gray fog, they collapsed all of a sudden and turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
"Rustle … …"
The sound of sand being blown by the wind could be heard faintly. However, that kind of power was absolutely unparalleled, as if it could destroy everything.
"It's here!"
The gray fog surged over from the horizon like a tide. The sound was still very weak, like the rustling of falling leaves. It was very gentle and didn't seem to be violent at all.
However, the three of them felt a great danger. The gray fog contained the power of death. Even Beyond Sky and Human Outsider revealed a grave expression.
"Let's go!"
They decisively retreated. Facing this divine gray fog, the three of them felt their hearts palpitating. It was an indescribable pressure.
The gentle gray fog seemed slow, but it was actually moving very fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already covered several dozen li and was already in front of them.
At this point, even the Octadic Extreme Speed and Spatial Traversal seemed to be useless. The three of them were caught up by the gray fog.
"Bang … …"
Beyond Sky swung his fist and directly smashed the void. The three of them entered the dimensional space in order to avoid the gray fog.
What was hard to imagine was that the gray fog actually destroyed the dimensional space. Nothing could stop it wherever it passed. Only the big world could contain it. Even the dimensional space was shattered.
"Run!"
The three of them paled and tried their best to escape.
A power that could even make a Half Ancestor feel fear was definitely horrifying. The gray fog brushed past. Although it seemed gentle, it contained an all-conquering power.
"Boom!" Seeing that the gray fog was about to swallow them, Human Outsider extended his snow-white fist and punched backwards. Immediately, it was like a meteor colliding into the vast sea, the raging waves engulfed the heaven and earth.
The gray fog fluctuated and emitted a majestic aura. It absorbed the power of Human Outsider in a blink of an eye.
"Rustle … …"
The gray fog finally surged up and submerged the three of them.
"Chi … …"
Beyond Sky and Human Outsider worked together to create a light screen. It was like a light screen, preventing the gray fog from approaching the three of them.
Xiao Chen took advantage of this opportunity and took out the cracked stone statue from the acupoint space. However, the process was a little difficult. Perhaps it was because of the strength of the stone statue, it was not easy to take it back.
With a flash of light, he fused with the stone statue.
Everyone's expression changed as they exclaimed, "Not good, the mist is too evil."
The mist was currently corroding the light barrier, refining and absorbing the Half Martial Ancestor's power. Judging from the situation, they would not be able to stop it at all.
"Bang … …"
The light screen that the three of them released was shattered. The power in the grey mist was so terrifying that it was shocking. It was as if a lightning hammer had smashed into their bodies. The people from Beyond Heaven and those outside felt intense pain all over their bodies. It was as if all their bones had been shattered.
It could actually injure a powerful Half Martial Ancestor!
More cracks appeared on Xiao Chen's stone statue. If not for the divine light from the seven-colored holy tree in his body filling the cracks, the stone statue would have shattered.
"What kind of mist is this? We have to leave this place. Otherwise, we will all be refined into dust!"
The Sky Beyond Heaven shouted. His entire body flashed with a weak divine glow as he resisted the invasion of the grey fog. Then, he rushed toward a certain direction.
The people from outside Beyond Heaven and Xiao Chen followed closely behind. They wanted to rush out of this terrifying grey fog.
However, the grey fog seemed to be boundless. After flying for an unknown amount of time, the three of them were still inside. The horrifying power kept corroding them, wanting to refine them into a part of the fog.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. They could not find the exit at all. The situation was very dangerous. If this continued, even an undying Half Martial Ancestor would truly fall.
Comparatively speaking, Xiao Chen was still safe. The divine light from the seven-colored holy tree could actually resist the grey fog.
"Seniors, let me put you into the stone statue."
At this point, the people from outside Beyond Heaven didn't care about their reputation anymore. They directly entered the stone statue and temporarily alleviated the danger.
"This is not a long-term solution. The holy tree's divine power will be exhausted sooner or later. We have to get out of here."
The people from outside Heaven felt very vexed. They had no choice but to reevaluate the World of Death. It was far more dangerous than they had imagined. However, they were still far from the deepest region.
However, the three of them were helpless. The area covered by the grey fog seemed to be a boundless world. They could not find the exit at all.
Time elapsed. One year, two years, three years … ten years …
The three of them kept fumbling forward. However, it seemed like they were forever isolated in this place.
They had been trapped in the grey fog that was filled with the aura of death for thirty years. However, they were still clueless. It was as if they had fallen into a maze filled with destructive power.
"Bang … …"
On the thirty-second year, Xiao Chen and the others suddenly suffered an attack. A powerful force ruthlessly bombarded the back of the stone statue. Dozens of cracks appeared in an instant.
Xiao Chen was already certain that if they left the seven-colored holy tree, this stone statue would have already collapsed. The power of this attack was too powerful. It was definitely the destructive power of a Half Martial Ancestor.
"Swish … …"
He reacted immediately and moved several hundred meters away. However, the sneak attack followed him like a shadow. It suppressed him and continuously bombarded the back of the stone statue.
"You've gone too far."
The people from outside Heaven were furious. No matter what, the stone statue had the power of three Half Martial Ancestor. The two of them immediately poured their divine power into Xiao Chen's body and let him control the stone statue.
"Boom … …"
The seven-colored divine light on the stone statue soared into the sky. Even the fog seemed to have thinned. The sneak attacker was sent flying on the spot.
"Shua … …"
Xiao Chen made use of this opportunity to turn around. At the same time, he attacked forward.
Dozens of battle swords emitting cold light in all directions formed a sword formation. They immediately surrounded the sneak attacker.
"Clang! Clang!" The battle swords moved horizontally and vertically in front of them.
Immediately, the three people in the stone statue started to laugh.
This sneak attacker was really too miserable. His entire body was tattered. There was practically no part of his body that was intact. Almost every bone was full of holes and corroded beyond recognition.
The two words "Sovereign King" appeared in the minds of Xiao Chen and the others. However, this person was really too miserable.
"Stop! Stop! We are all in the same boat. Why must we fight each other? "
The tattered white skeleton transmitted such a spiritual fluctuation.
"Just now, you wanted to kill us. Do you think we will stop just because you say so? We will dismantle you first. "
Xiao Chen released all twenty-seven swords. The peerlessly powerful sword formation completely trapped the sovereign king. In that instant, the sword aura soared to the heavens. The dazzling sword-qi interweaved together like a divine rainbow. It was exceptionally dazzling.
"Dang, dang, dang … …"
Unexpectedly, even with the sharpness of the battle swords, it was only able to dismantle the lower half of the Sovereign King's body. The Sovereign King was holding a bone fragment in his hand. It resisted from east to west and protected his upper body.
"What is it that didn't shatter?"
Beyond Heaven revealed a curious expression and said, "It can't be the bone of an ancestor god, right?"
After saying that, he and the others helped Xiao Chen at the same time. Divine power surged violently. The entire body of the stone statue blossomed with radiance. The battle swords seemed to have sensed it. The sword light became even sharper.
"Chi! Chi!"
The sword soared into the sky. Divine rainbows were dazzling and emitted a resplendent radiance. The Sovereign King was submerged within. It was equivalent to him bearing the attacks of three half ancestors. It was difficult for him to resist anymore.
In the end, with a rumble, the bone body completely collapsed. Only the skull and a bone fragment were left floating in the gray fog.
The instant the skull left the bone fragment, the Sovereign King screamed miserably. The flame in the skull seemed to have been corroded by the gray fog. He quickly rushed to the front of the bone fragment. Only then did he stabilize himself. Furthermore, he chose to escape at the first moment. The radiance wrapped around the bone fragment and it flew far away like a meteor.
"Do you think you can still escape at this point?"
The stone statue shot out a seven-colored divine radiance. The twenty-seven battle swords turned into divine rainbows and chased after it. In an instant, they trapped the Sovereign King's skull.
It was not easy to find a fourth person in the gray fog. How could they let him escape? They quickly suppressed the Sovereign King.
"Speak yourself, or do you want us to force a confession out of you?"
Beyond Heaven was very experienced. He directly started to threaten them.
"Speak what? What do you guys want to know?"
The flame in the Sovereign King's skull flickered. The underworld fire in its eyes flickered with a malicious glint.
"What exactly is going on with this gray fog?"
This was what Xiao Chen and the others wanted to know urgently. Rather than being trapped here forever, they might as well choose to die.
"No one knows what the gray fog is, but it is an existence that surpasses the Sovereign King. Anyone who is engulfed by it can only end up dead."
"Could it be that no one is able to deduce a thing or two? It is very obvious that you are not telling the truth. "
Beyond Heaven questioned in dissatisfaction. At the same time, Xiao Chen snatched the bone piece away.
"Ah … …"
After leaving the bone piece, the Sovereign King screamed miserably on the spot. He was once again invaded by the gray fog.
If this was spread out, it would definitely scare people to death. Even the Sovereign King was unable to resist the gray fog. He was as weak as an ant in this place.
"What the hell is this?"
When Xiao Chen was looking at the bone piece, Beyond Heaven also sent out his divine sense. However, he was unable to figure out the origin of the bone piece.
The bone piece was snow-white in color. It was as smooth as jade. Although there was no radiance circulating around it, one could feel that it contained a special power. It was precisely because of it that the Sovereign King in front of them was able to survive.
"Give it back to me … …"
The Sovereign King screamed hysterically. He was enduring an indescribable pain.
"What is the deal with this bone piece?"
Beyond Heaven asked.
"That is a treasure that I refined. It can resist the corrosion of the gray fog. You guys already have the stone statue, so don't steal my bone piece. Quickly give it back to me … …"
"Liar, you are definitely not able to refine this bone piece."
Xiao Chen did not believe it at all.
"Eh, there is a scribble on the other side."
Beyond Heaven said in surprise.
The bone piece was only the size of a palm. One side was as smooth as a mirror, while the other side was engraved with some incomprehensible patterns.
"This seems to be a map, could it be … …"
Xiao Chen, Beyond Heaven, and Beyond Heaven seemed to have thought of something at the same time.
"Could it be the map that the evil corpses are searching for?"
"That's right, it looks like an oracle bone map!"
"You skeleton, you are still lying when you are about to die?"
The three of them spoke at the same time.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and tell us the truth. Otherwise, we will forcefully search through your tinder memory."
Beyond Heaven's words were definitely not a joke. He was an expert in this aspect.
The Sovereign King who was left with only his skull was thoroughly defeated. He did not dare to hide anything anymore and began to answer every question.
What made Xiao Chen and the others shocked was that this Sovereign King had already been trapped in the gray fog for over a thousand years. If it was not for the protection of the oracle bone map's mysterious power, he would have already turned into ashes.
After being trapped for a thousand years, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Even the protection of the bone piece would not be able to hold on for much longer.
The gray fog was one of the most dangerous substances in the world of death. It contained the "power of the world". As long as one was engulfed by it, no matter how fast one flew, they would not be able to escape. It was as if they were trapped in a box and would be refined alive.
According to the conjecture of some Sovereign Kings, if this gray fog was not the destructive yin fog from before the creation of the world, then it would be the unconscious soul of the fallen ancestor god. Other than the existence that surpassed the Sovereign King, anyone who entered would not be able to escape the fate of having their body and soul destroyed.
Speaking of the name of this bone piece, the Sovereign King's knowledge was limited. He only knew that this was a treasure map that could even move the heart of an existence that surpassed the Sovereign King. If all the bone pieces were gathered, it would lead to a mysterious place.
As for what exactly was in that mysterious place, other than the existence that surpassed the Sovereign King, even the Sovereign King did not know.
"Is there an existence that surpassed the Sovereign King in the world of death?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Ever since I gained consciousness, I have never seen or heard of any rumors of their appearance. However … …"
Speaking until here, the Sovereign King paused for a moment, "There should be … …. I think they can be born in the deepest part of the continent of death."
After obtaining everything he wanted to know from the Sovereign King, the Sky Beyond Sky shattered the Sovereign King's tinder. After that, Xiao Chen collected it.
Perhaps this was very cruel, but if one were to be merciful to the enemy that tried to assassinate him, it might lead to his own destruction in the end. After all, this was a Sovereign King. If he carried a grudge and decided to assassinate him for revenge, that would be an unimaginably terrifying scene.
Xiao Chen tried to refine the tinder. However, as he had guessed before, absorbing the tinder after reaching the Paramount Realm was no longer effective. He had absorbed more than a third of the tinder, but his realm did not increase at all.
However, he could vaguely feel that his potential seemed to have increased. Of course, this was only an intuition. As for the potential that had yet to be unlocked, it was impossible to truly estimate it.
Whether it was an intuition or a misconception, Xiao Chen absorbed another third of the tinder.
The stone statue was filled with resplendent divine radiance. Xiao Chen's entire body was sparkling and translucent. The Sovereign King's tinder's divine radiance completely enveloped him.
In the end, the Sky Beyond Sky felt the pinch and asked Xiao Chen to preserve the last third of the tinder. This delinquent-like Half Martial Ancestor kept his disciple for him.
"That's not right. This time, I really feel that the Sovereign King's tinder's energy seems to have merged with my potential."
Xiao Chen's entire body was enveloped in a divine radiance. His flesh was almost transparent. He looked like a supreme deity.
"If I reach the Sovereign King realm, this potential will definitely awaken. That way, I will have the combat prowess of two Sovereign Kings."
"Right now, you can also fight against several people of the same realm."
The Sky Beyond Sky rolled his eyes and kept the remaining third of the Sovereign King's tinder.
The divinized acupoints and the stored Sovereign King's potential … … made Xiao Chen's "foundation" very solid. He believed that as long as he advanced, no matter which realm he was in, he could become one of the strongest in the same realm.
From time to time, it flowed slowly like water.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen and the others had been trapped in this gray fog for a whole fifty years. However, they still couldn't find a way out. They had to fumble around in the gray fog all day long.
This made the Sky Beyond Sky and the Human Outsiders gasp in surprise. The rainbow-colored sacred tree seemed to have an inexhaustible divine power. Its radiance didn't show any signs of dimming.
"This is the Ancestor God level sacred tree!"
This was the highest evaluation they could give it.
For a whole fifty years, Xiao Chen and the others could only rely on cultivation to pass this kind of dull and monotonous life.
On the fifty-sixth year, the Sky Beyond Sky and the Human Outsiders suddenly woke up. After that, Xiao Chen also felt an unusual fluctuation.
Immediately, the three of them became vigilant. They controlled the stone statue and cautiously approached the front.
It was a blur in front of them. Even the Half Martial Ancestor's divine sense couldn't extend very far in this terrifying fog. There seemed to be a huge monster moving in the gray fog.
Xiao Chen and the others were on guard as they slowly approached.
It was actually an island, an island floating in the gray fog!
This discovery was out of Xiao Chen and the others' expectations. How could there be an island floating in the destructive fog?
As they continued to approach, they finally saw it clearly. Rather than calling it an island, it would be more accurate to call it a floating boulder. It was about half a square kilometer in size.
Apart from the fog, there was nothing else in this deathly silent area. It was indeed a colossal creature.
The black boulder didn't have any luster. It only emitted a weak energy fluctuation, but it could resist the corrosion of the gray fog. It was enough to prove that it was extraordinary.
"What an excellent material. I'm afraid it's an ancestor god's material. I have never seen it before."
The Sky Beyond Sky rubbed his hands excitedly. He extended his divine sense to observe the black boulder.
"Wait a moment."
The Human Outsiders suddenly noticed something strange. They said, "There's someone on it."
There was indeed a humanoid creature on it. However, it seemed like it was already at the end of its rope. It was lying motionlessly on the black boulder.
"That's a demon!"
Xiao Chen was very surprised.
This was indeed a demon creature. It was about two meters tall. Other than its head, its entire body was covered in purple scales. Its blue hair had already lost its luster a long time ago. There was a spiral shaped silver horn on its head. If the scales on its entire body were disregarded, this demon's face could still be considered handsome. Especially it had a pair of furry bear ears, it mitigated the demon's ferocious temperament.
"Damn it, I was just swearing on the name of the female relative of the highest existence in the world of death. If … he can let me see another person in this godforsaken place … even if I have to die immediately … it will be worth it. The highest existence … his mother! If I really see him … could it be that he wants me to die? "
This demon weakly crawled up and cursed angrily with a weak voice. It seemed like it didn't even have the strength to speak.
This was definitely a Sovereign King level existence. Other than a Sovereign King level expert, no other creature had any chance of surviving.
"It's over … I'm really going to die. Speaking … wasted the last of my strength."
The demon laid down on the ground once again.
Xiao Chen landed on top of the huge black rock. He felt that this demon was very interesting, so he didn't make his move immediately.
"I know … you lump of stone want to take my life. Come, give me a quick death … this oracle bone map belongs to you."
The demon gasped for breath with great difficulty and threw a warm bone piece over.
Regarding this demon that didn't take the initiative to attack, Xiao Chen and the other two didn't have any intention of killing it. The instant he caught the bone piece, Xiao Chen squatted down at a distant place and began to converse with it.
However, this Sovereign King level demon was indeed very weak. It almost didn't have the strength to speak. Xiao Chen shot out a rainbow divine radiance to allow it to continue speaking.
After a series of conversation, Xiao Chen and the others unexpectedly found out that this demon had been trapped on this black rock for ten thousand years.
Such a long period of time was really scary!
The demon had almost exhausted all of its energy. Even with the protection of the huge black rock and the mysterious bone piece, it was afraid that it would die soon.
The demon had a very interesting name. It was called "Brave Bear". That's right, it was "Brave Bear" and not "Hero". "The highest existence in the world of death … I greet your eighteen generations of ancestors. Just after I swore an oath … I really saw a stone man, your mother's!"
Xiao Chen, Sky Beyond Sky, and Human Outsider smiled. They felt that this guy was very interesting. Moreover, this gray world was too dull, so they decided to save him.
"Rumble … …"
"What's that sound?"
The few of them were startled.
A majestic aura spread over. A huge shadow was slowly approaching from the distance. It was several times bigger than the huge black rock.
"That is … …"
They could finally see it clearly. They simply didn't dare to believe their eyes. That was a majestic celestial palace that stretched on endlessly.
"The highest existence in the world of death is your mother's! Don't tell me … … he really came to pick me up personally? "
Brave Bear weakly cursed and muttered.
