The broken stone tablet recorded the fact that the otherworldly ancestor gods had fallen here. Countless years ago, a world-shaking war had occurred here.
But under the power of time, everything in the past had vanished like smoke.
Who was it that killed the otherworldly ancestor gods? This would forever be a mystery. The unparalleled experts of the past were most likely no longer in this world.
Xiao Chen suspected that this was the battlefield where Suirenshi, Martial Ancestor, Fuxi, and the others had shed their blood.
He straightened the stone tablet and continued to walk forward. Gu Lu, such a sound came from under his feet, and a skull was inadvertently kicked out.
After walking a hundred steps, he was shocked to discover a ground full of skulls. There were no less than a thousand of them. These should not be weaklings. When they were alive, their cultivation had probably far surpassed the Immortal Realm.
That was because he discovered a dazzling and peculiar skull among these thousand skulls. That was definitely left behind by a half-step ancestor.
"This is not a good place …"
Xiao Chen made such a judgment and became more cautious.
This mountain range was barren. It was filled with reddish-brown stone mountains. Some were like divine swords standing erect, some were like intersecting fangs. The atmosphere was very sinister.
Moreover, a mysterious and unfathomable power pervaded this place. Not to mention flying, even walking was somewhat difficult.
"Rumble …"
A skull suddenly rolled towards him from the stone forest. Xiao Chen immediately drew a sword and held it in his hand.
"Chi …"
The sword light suddenly appeared and the snow-white skull was split in half. A black-furred wild rat squeaked and escaped from inside.
"Eh, something's not right!"
Xiao Chen instantly became alert. Even a Heavenly King expert would find it difficult to move in this stone forest. How could a rat have such a fast speed?
"Sou …"
Sure enough, the sound of breaking through the air could be heard. A black light, like a black lightning, shot toward his throat. It was the jet-black wild rat. At this moment, its fur was shining like silk.
The sharp teeth in its mouth were as white as a bayonet. They were sharp and cold. A cold light radiated in all directions as it prepared to bite Xiao Chen's throat.
Xiao Chen leaned to the side and slashed with his sword at the same time.
"Squeak …"
Unexpectedly, this wild rat was as fast as lightning. The moment the sword came down, it turned its body in the air and dodged the attack.
"Hmm, that's weird. A demonic rat!"
Xiao Chen took a step forward, and his entire body lit up. He overcame the strong pressure in this area and increased his speed. Then, he swung his sword again.
"Pfft …"
Blood splattered everywhere. The blade of the sword had sunk into the body of the wild rat, but it did not cut it in half. It had only cut it open, and there was still a layer of skin attached. One must know that the battle sword was incomparably sharp and could cut through anything, but it had not completely torn the demon rat apart. This result was very strange.
However, this sword was definitely fatal. It had completely cut open its body. If there were no accidents, the Demonic Rat would not have been able to survive.
Xiao Chen wanted to take a closer look and understand what was going on. However, something unexpected happened. The cut on the dead rat quickly healed, and all the blood that flew out flowed back.
"This …"
Xiao Chen was astonished. Even a mouse was so strange. It made him feel that this place was filled with evil. Furthermore, he noticed that the flesh of the mouse was sparkling and glistening. There was a faint radiance flickering on it. This was definitely not ordinary.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the flickering black light of the wild rat, its eyes actually flashed with a cunning light. It was just like the eyes of a human. Xiao Chen was even more astonished.
"Pfft …"
A blood arrow shot out from the mouth of the wild rat. It was aimed straight at Xiao Chen's forehead.
"Courting death!"
Xiao Chen dodged to the side. At the same time, the sword in his hand fiercely stabbed down. With a "Pfft" sound, it pierced through the rat and stabbed into the sword.
And it was also at this moment that he felt danger approaching. His body moved several meters away. When he turned his head to look, the blood arrow actually turned around and shot back to its original position. At this moment, it was rushing towards him. With a flash of red light, it entered the mouth of the wild rat.
"Squeak …"
The pierced wild rat did not die at all. It screamed crazily.
"What is so strange about this place that it could create such a wild rat?"
Xiao Chen felt very puzzled. Perhaps if an ordinary practitioner came to this place, they would be killed by the demonic rat if they were not careful.
Just when he was observing the wild rat, a rustling sound came from all directions. Moreover, there were many skulls rolling over.
Xiao Chen immediately felt the hair on his body stand up. In all directions, there were actually no less than ten thousand wild rats surrounding him!
Among them, there were several hundred of them that were flickering with black light. They were exactly the same as the ones he had nailed into the sword. The rest were all blood red in color.
The densely packed wild rats all had cold teeth. It was like a flood rushing towards him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Twenty-seven swords appeared. Facing the tide of rats, they slashed horizontally and vertically. Immediately, a bloody light burst out and a bloody path was cut open.
However, something that made Xiao Chen astonished happened again. None of the black wild rats died. Even if their bodies were cut open, they would be as good as new in an instant. Furthermore, the blood that splattered everywhere would flow back to where it came from.
And although those blood rats were not as strong as the black rats, their wounds were also slowly healing. There was no sign of them dying.
Xiao Chen immediately wrinkled his brows and said, "A familiar aura, this is … … an ancestor god!"
He was greatly shocked. Suddenly, he thought of something and violently shook the black rat that was nailed into the sword. Fresh blood splashed out. At this moment, he became alert.
The strange demonic rat's body really contained the aura and divine power of the ancestor god.
"They … … Could it be that they ate the corpse of the ancestor god from the other world?"
This result made Xiao Chen's heart jump. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Tens of thousands of wild rats frantically rushed over here. Just at this moment, Xiao Chen discovered a huge golden rat. It looked like it was cast from gold. It was as big as a horse. It let out a sharp cry from a distance. It seemed to be commanding all the demonic rats.
Xiao Chen's eyes shot out two cold lights. Three swords soared into the sky and formed thirteen long rainbows as they chopped downwards.
The resplendent rainbows made the sun in the sky lose its color. The "Chi Chi" sound could be said to be terrifying and ear-piercing. All of them chopped towards the huge golden rat.
The huge golden rat was obviously an old demon that had already gained intelligence a long time ago. It actually left behind an afterimage in its original position and dodged the thirteen rainbows. It seemed as if it had passed through space and crazily pounced towards Xiao Chen.
This powerful huge golden rat had almost reached the Earth Penetrating Realm!
The thirteen swords chopped back. A total of twenty-seven rainbows charged in the stone forest. It was incomparably dazzling.
Even though the horse-sized golden rat displayed powerful strength, it still suffered a big loss when it reached Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen allowed it to bite at him. He simply kicked out. Even though the sharp teeth of the rat had bitten the Underworld Iron Battle Suit, it was impossible to tear it apart. In the next instant, the twenty-seven swords all chopped down on its body.
Twenty-seven terrifying wounds appeared. Golden blood immediately flowed out. However, the huge rat was not torn apart. It turned into a golden light and quickly retreated. All the golden blood also flowed back.
Its combat power was not its most terrifying aspect. This huge rat's biggest advantage was its undying body. After it was cut open, it could quickly recover.
Xiao Chen intercepted a few drops of golden blood and carefully examined it. He felt an even stronger aura of the ancestor god than the black rat's blood.
This group of wild rats was too heaven-defying. They actually had such a big opportunity. No wonder their physical body was so tyrannical! Xiao Chen was secretly surprised.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
The sword swept across the sky. Xiao Chen killed a bloody path and chased after it.
Just at this moment, that huge golden rat turned into the image of a middle-aged man. It was as if he was forged from gold. His entire body was golden.
"You actually dare to intrude into my clan's forbidden area. Leave behind your flesh and blood, I can let your divine soul leave."
The golden middle-aged man's eyes flickered with a gloomy light.
"Your tone is not small. You dare to eat my flesh?"
Xiao Chen waved the sword in his hand and slashed forward.
The golden middle-aged man knew how powerful he was. He turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the distant stone mountain. The sharp teeth in his mouth were terrifying. A few golden lights shot out and immediately opened a cave on the stone mountain.
"Chi … …"
The sword swept out a beam of light that was several miles long. The huge beam of light split that stone mountain in an instant.
The golden figure escaped in amazement and said, "You are indeed very tyrannical. However, we can't kill you. And you will never be able to walk out of this ancient forbidden formation. You will be eaten by us sooner or later."
"If you want to eat me, you will have to train for another thousand or eight hundred years."
Xiao Chen's sword swept across. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. The wild rats screamed in succession. A large number of blood rats had already died, but not a single one of the huge black rats died.
He frowned and stretched out his right hand. It was as big as a small mountain. It enveloped the area and grabbed dozens of black demonic rats. After that, he used his divine power to refine them.
"Pfff, pfff … …"
After no less than a quarter of an hour, a bloody light flickered. The black demonic rats' physical bodies finally shattered. They wanted to reassemble, but their blood was also evaporated by Xiao Chen. The sparkling and translucent crystals turned into ashes. The black demonic rats were completely dead.
"You dare to kill my people. You are dead for sure!"
The huge golden rat the size of a horse revealed its original form again. It faced the sky and screamed from a distant stone mountain.
"Rumble … …"
It was as if a dam had burst. The distant stone mountain was actually trembling. Countless demonic rats covered the sky and covered the earth as they rushed over.
It was simply like a tidal wave. There were at least several hundred thousand of them. The whole place was covered in blood red. The momentum was terrifying.
What made Xiao Chen feel a little relieved was that most of them were blood rats. There were only a few thousand black demonic rats.
However, three more golden demonic rats appeared. In addition to the original one, there were a total of four horse-sized golden rats. Their strength was already close to the Earth Penetrating realm. Moreover, they had an undying body.
The flood-like demonic rats rushed over from all directions and completely submerged Xiao Chen.
At this moment, he was secretly rejoicing that he had the Underworld Iron Battle Armor to protect him. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome in this evil land where flying was not allowed.
A rainbow-colored radiance flickered. Xiao Chen summoned the little sacred tree from within his body and made it float above his head. It dropped down a silk-like propitious light to protect his head, the only part that was not protected by the Ancestral God Battle Armor.
He killed his way through the flood of demonic rats. He used the battle sword to open up a path and slowly walked forward.
Xiao Chen felt that these four huge golden rats should be on equal footing. Presumably, there should be an even stronger rat king. He wanted to find the source. Who knows, he might be able to make a shocking discovery.
The otherworldly ancestor god's corpse created this group of demonic rats. Who knows, there might be some other important artifacts left behind.
"Chi … …"
A blazing golden light flickered. A huge golden rat pounced over and was cut in half by Xiao Chen's sword. Unfortunately, it had an undying body. If he didn't catch it and refine it, it was impossible to kill it.
The golden rat retreated far away after one attack. Very soon, it was submerged in the rat tide.
"Chi … …"
The second huge golden rat appeared. It seemed very greedy and brutal. Not only did it want to cut Xiao Chen's head, it even wanted to grab the rainbow-colored sacred tree above his head.
Twenty-seven battle swords shattered the surrounding demonic rats and blocked it in an instant.
The horse-sized golden rat screeched. It wanted to escape through the earth, but it couldn't. That was because when it tried to grab the rainbow-colored sacred tree, it was fixed in place by the rainbow-colored radiance.
"I've been waiting for you to walk right into my trap. Watch how I destroy your undying body."
Xiao Chen meditated on the spot. He pierced the huge golden rat with the battle sword and froze it in midair. Then, the Underworld Iron Battle Suit emitted a terrifying black light that submerged this place.
An overwhelming divine power surged out. Xiao Chen started to refine this huge golden rat that was comparable to the Earth Penetrating Realm.
The divine power surged and the stone forest shook violently. Hundreds of thousands of demonic rats rushed over in a frenzy. The three huge golden rats attacked continuously, but they couldn't break through the black light emitted by the ancestor god's battle suit.
After two hours, the huge golden rat that was pierced by the battle sword gradually became dispirited. The energy of the ancestor god in its body was forcefully extracted. It looked like it was going to be completely destroyed in both body and soul.
Just at this moment, a deep roar came from the ground. It was a muffled sound, like the vibration of a dragon skin drum. The surrounding stone mountains that towered into the clouds began to shake.
"There is indeed a big guy!"
Xiao Chen tossed the half-dead huge golden rat aside and walked forward with large strides.
At this moment, the one hundred thousand demonic rats retreated in one direction like the receding tide of the sea.
Xiao Chen followed. There was a large, pitch-black hole at the foot of a towering mountain. All the demonic rats had entered it.
This was a pitch-black and incredibly sinister hole. It looked like it was connected to the Yellow Springs. Whimpering came from inside, and Death Qi permeated the air.
Xiao Chen wore the Underworld Iron Battle Suit and the seven-colored holy tree above his head. Twenty-seven battle swords floated around him as he walked in.
Using the holy tree's light, Xiao Chen could see everything clearly with his Heavenly Eye. This was a huge cave that seemed endless. The entrance was at the foot of the mountain, leading to the belly of the mountain. After that, the ground slowly sank, leading deep underground.
After three kilometers underground, Xiao Chen arrived in a vast underground palace. Pairs of rat eyes glowed with faint green light.
However, Xiao Chen did not care and continued forward.
The underground palace widened, and the large cave gradually flickered with light. Strange glowing crystals were embedded in the walls of the cave.
Suddenly, a great sense of danger appeared in his heart. At the same time, Xiao Chen felt a terrifying force striking his waist.
Immediately after, he felt a boundless force approaching him at a horrifying speed. However, this time, the twenty-seven battle swords hacked down under his control.
"Clang … …" Xiao Chen immediately felt a boundless force approaching him at a terrifying speed. However, this time, the twenty-seven battle swords hacked down under his control.
"Clang … …"
The sound of metal clashing was so loud that it hurt his eardrums. It felt like his eardrums were about to burst.
Just now, it actually managed to hide from Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense. The sneak attack was a success. Xiao Chen turned around to take a look.
This was actually a set of white bones. There was no flesh or blood on it. The bones were crystalline like white jade and did not give off a sinister feeling. There was only a sinister aura, causing people to feel fear involuntarily.
This was because this set of white bones was very peculiar.
It was not a human skeleton. On the sides of the human-shaped body, there were eight white bone spikes that looked like spider legs. They were about one and a half meters long. Furthermore, there was a scorpion tail-like white bone spike at its tailbone. It was two meters long.
This was simply a monster. It was very different from a human's skeleton.
"Ancestor God's skeleton?"
Xiao Chen was greatly shocked. He took a dozen steps back. He did not feel any energy fluctuation from the other party, but he felt a dangerous aura.
The crystalline white skeleton before him seemed to be filled with a tyrannical aura. There was a formless killing intent. There was no fluctuation, but it was clearly transmitted to his heart.
Even if it was a living half-ancestor, it would not be able to give him such a feeling. However, this set of white bones before him was able to do so. It made him feel a chill in his heart.
Xiao Chen did not feel any soul fluctuation from the white bones. He also did not see any flickering flame in the skull. The white bones seemed to be moving based on a kind of instinct from the remnant imprint.
"Whoosh … …"
With a flash of white light, the Ancestor God's skeleton disappeared into thin air. At the same time, the battle sword in front of Xiao Chen also burst out with dazzling radiance and intercepted it.
"Clang!" The Ancestor God's skeleton blocked the battle sword with its hand. There was not a single trace of damage!
The white bones were sparkling and translucent. It was like the toughest divine weapon in the world. It was impossible to leave any mark on it.
Xiao Chen was horrified. The might of an Ancestor God was indeed unimaginable. The unconscious white bones were already this strong. There was no need to mention a living Ancestor God.
No wonder the three battle swords broke at the same time in the heavenly palace of the Death World when the mysterious expert used the battle swords to kill an Ancestor Emperor.
If the battle swords were not complete and did not form a true sword formation, it would be hard to kill an Ancestor God.
Xiao Chen's eyes immediately lit up. This was an Ancestor God's skeleton in name. It could be considered a peak treasure body. If placed in the Death World, it would definitely make millions of flame type lifeforms go crazy.
Even a sovereign king would find it hard to resist the temptation. Exchanging for such an Ancestor God's skeleton would greatly increase the combat prowess of the flame type lifeforms.
Even if Xiao Chen did not give it to others, he could use it for himself. This was definitely a valuable treasure.
The Ancestor God's skeleton moved like lightning. It was unbelievably fast in the underground palace. It was just a simple attack, but it already displayed strong combat prowess, not fearing the twenty-seven battle swords.
"Clang! Clang! Clang …"
The battle swords clashed with the Ancestor God's skeleton.
Just at this moment, the eight spider-like spikes on both sides of the pure white skeleton suddenly expanded and pierced towards Xiao Chen. They were like bone spears, incomparably sharp.
The battle swords soared through the air and blocked the eight bone spears. The vast underground palace gave off a bright light. The eight bone spears and the twenty-odd battle swords clashed intensely.
Suddenly, a white light burst out!
A white light soared up from behind the Ancestor God's skeleton. It was incredibly fast and dodged the light screen formed by the battle swords. Then, it drew an arc and pierced towards Xiao Chen.
He hastily used the Four Major Techniques to block it. With a "peng" sound, it was as if he was struck by lightning. The Nether Iron Battle Armor on his arm caved in. If it wasn't for the Ancestral God Battle Armor, his arm might have been pierced through.
Xiao Chen was shocked.
The scorpion tail bone behind the Ancestor God's skeleton had shocking penetrative power! Although it did not pierce through the Ancestor God Battle Suit, it caused it to cave in and deform.
Xiao Chen was enraged. The seven-colored holy tree above him shot out beams of auspicious light at that skeleton. At the same time, the twenty-seven battle swords formed an incomplete sword formation and surrounded this skeleton. "Chi! Chi!
Chi! "
The sound of the air being pierced lingered on. Finally, he managed to suppress this ridiculously powerful skeleton for the time being. After that, he fell back. The skeleton could not threaten him for the time being.
"Eh …"
Xiao Chen was astonished to find a jade book. It seemed to belong to the Ancestor God's skeleton. His aura was still left on it.
"Could it be the scripture left behind by the Ancestor God? This …"
He speculated that this skeleton most likely belonged to that otherworldly Ancestor God. Then, the jade book in front of him must be a mysterious scripture from another world.
"Danger!"
Just at this time, Xiao Chen felt an intense dangerous aura.
There seemed to be something hidden in the depths of the underground palace. Suddenly, he heard that oppressive sound again. It was like the Ancestral Dragon Drum was being beaten. The entire underground palace was shaking.
"There really is a big guy hiding here. Those damn rat demons seem to be serving it. What exactly is it?"
He determined that it was not the so-called Rat King. It should be a super huge monster.
Xiao Chen was on guard. There was an unknown danger in front and the Ancestor God's skeleton blocking his way. His situation was really not good.
