Xiao Chen did not continue to follow those people. Instead, he stayed in a lush primeval forest. He wanted to recuperate.
After the battle with the otherworldly ancestor god Babula, Xiao Chen suffered extremely severe injuries. After he escaped, he had to recuperate for a few days before he completely recovered.
This battle was a wake-up call for him. Even though the ancestor god had fallen, any remnant spiritual sense had unimaginable heaven-defying methods. He was still far from reaching the peak!
Xiao Chen frowned as he flipped open the jade book in his hand. He could not recognize a single word. The words of the otherworldly language were crooked, making it hard for him to decipher its meaning.
Most of the contents recorded in the Holy Scriptures were left behind in the form of a spiritual imprint. However, this jade book was completely written in words. Xiao Chen pondered for a long time but still could not understand it.
Only when he flipped to the last two pages did he gain something. He carved out two pictures.
The first picture was just a spear soaring straight into the sky! The tip of the spear seemed like it was going to pierce through the wall. Its aura was incomparably sharp, making people feel a chill in their bones.
Needless to say, this was the Great Destruction Spear!
It was powerful and tyrannical, bringing with it a boundless destructive aura! Just this picture alone gave people a strong sense of pressure. It was like a peerless sword was pressed against the throat.
"It is just a spear. I can't recognize the words at the front. I can't obtain the cultivation method at all. What should I do?"
Xiao Chen observed carefully. Just at this moment, he felt a soul intimidating power rushing out from the spear. It almost destroyed his spiritual sense.
Sharp, swift, and destructive. It was like a divine punishment that could destroy the world. It contained an extremely mysterious and horrifying aura.
Xiao Chen was startled and immediately took a few steps back. He pointed with his finger and shot out a beam of divine light towards the jade book. "Qiang!" The jade book was unharmed. The divine light did not destroy it.
This is really a divine book. It is very difficult to destroy. Although I don't recognize the words inside, I can obtain the essence of the pictures on the last two pages. "Xiao Chen muttered to himself. At this point, he already knew that although the engraving was simple, it directly expressed the true meaning of the Great Destruction Battle Spear. As long as he could quietly comprehend it, he would definitely be able to understand the profoundness within.
He had already obtained the Celestial Monument Mystic Technique, so he did not care about the moves and mental cultivation methods. The most important thing was to experience the artistic conception that the Divine Book wanted to convey.
What he needed was the true essence of the Great Destruction Battle Spear. Moreover, it wasn't hard to obtain. The battle spear was just like its name. The true essence of its fierce and overbearing attack was — Great Destruction.
Xiao Chen used his Spiritual Sense to attack the jade book. He immediately felt a destructive aura. The true meaning of the Great Destruction War Spear seemed to have taken a tangible form. It pierced through the void and pierced towards him.
Xiao Chen roared and raised his right arm horizontally. His right palm gave off a bright light, and a spear filled with overwhelming killing intent and a boundless destructive aura slowly appeared.
Although it wasn't as imposing as the spear in Babula's hand, it was still incomparably sharp and captivating. In the future, it would definitely grow stronger.
As the saying goes, understanding one method leads to understanding all methods!
Xiao Chen meticulously pondered for ten days and gradually grasped the true meaning of the three words, Great Destruction.
Although its might was far from being able to contend against the spear in Babula's hand, he believed that he would be able to surpass it one day.
"Babula, I will use your combat technique to give you a surprise. Who knows, I might summon the true Great Destruction War Spear. At that time, you will be in for a tragedy … …"
Xiao Chen flipped to the last page of the jade book. There was nothing to doubt, it was the carving of the Immortal Heavenly Shield.
A simple and unadorned big shield, it gave people a stable, firm, and unbreakable feeling. Although it was only a carving, it gave people a great sense of heaviness.
The Immortal Heavenly Shield was just like its name. Immortal for ten thousand years, indestructible for eternity. It was as majestic as the sea, as heavy as the earth, and as profound as the starry sky.
This was an ancient shield that had existed since the ancient times, an immortal shield!
Xiao Chen's desire for this shield surpassed that of the Great Destruction War Spear. That was because he already had a sword to attack with. Even if he couldn't obtain the Great Destruction War Spear, it didn't matter.
However, if he could find the true body of the Immortal Heavenly Shield, then his defensive power would undoubtedly be unparalleled.
Babula once said that even the Martial Ancestor and Fuxi, the two strongest among the Ancestral Gods, were unable to shatter the Immortal Heavenly Shield. It was easy to imagine how powerful the "immortal" title was.
"Immortal Heavenly Shield!"
Xiao Chen shouted loudly. His left arm flickered with radiance, and a simple and unadorned shield appeared. It was as if the heavy earth was protecting his front.
Finally, Xiao Chen took out another spoil of war. It was a leg bone as white as jade. It was taken from Babula's body.
Even a sword couldn't cut it, it was easy to imagine how hard this leg bone was. He wanted to polish it into a bone dagger, but he discovered that he couldn't even scratch it a little.
As expected of the Ancestral God's bone!
This made Xiao Chen feel a little helpless. However, he also knew that Babula would definitely be more depressed in comparison. He even lost the Ancestral God's leg bone. Perhaps Babula had been sulking these past few days. It was only a matter of time before he came looking for him.
Xiao Chen meditated for close to twenty days before leaving this mountain range.
He crossed the tall mountains and flew towards the north for more than six hundred miles. Finally, he arrived at the place suspected to be the "most sinister place".
Many practitioners had already arrived here a long time ago, but none of them discovered the eternal light. They couldn't even confirm that this was the most sinister place.
In the past twenty days, more than a hundred people had already ventured deep into the ground, but they never returned. It was as if they had completely evaporated.
This was a deathly still land. The mountain ridge was barren, not even a blade of grass grew. There was no vegetation at all. The color of the soil was also different from other places. It was completely corpse-yellow, gloomy and frightening. In the mountain ridge, even in the daytime, it was gloomy and chilly. It seemed like the blazing sun in the sky couldn't transmit its heat to this place. Even the sunlight appeared pale and gloomy. Regardless of whether this was the most sinister place or not, this place was very strange. There must be an inexhaustible destructive power buried under the ground. Otherwise, the surface of the earth wouldn't be like this.
Xiao Chen carefully observed the area within a circumference of a hundred miles for a long time. He felt that this place might be the source of the corpse river. Would there be the eternal light in this place? He couldn't judge for a moment.
After all, the eternal light required the burial of more than ten Ancestor Gods to form.
Presently, he knew that at least two Universe Enlightened Ancestral God Realm experts were buried beneath this ground. One was Babula, and the other was the 'Lord' that even Babu feared. Perhaps there really were a few Universe Enlightened Ancestral Gods buried beneath the ground.
Up until now, none of the experts present had died. Not a single half-ancestor had shown themselves. The experts were all watching from the sidelines. Those who threw themselves to death were the ones who thought themselves infallible.
Xiao Chen had already changed his face and hid his identity. He wasn't afraid of the old Asura, the Skeleton Sovereign King, and the others. He just had to guard against Babula's sneak attack.
He mixed in the crowd and watched quietly. He didn't believe that those half-ancestors would stay still. The eternal light could help them become half-ancestors. Any half-ancestor would be tempted.
After a few more days, Xiao Chen unexpectedly learned from a Heavenly King that those half-ancestors had invited the experts of the Soul World over and researched for a long time. After a secret discussion, they prepared to enter the underground to search for the eternal light. In the past few days, aside from the secret discussion, the half-ancestors had also been actively preparing all sorts of materials, preparing to lay down a Divine Formation to seal this place.
First, it was for safety reasons. If there were any changes underground, they could retreat quickly and use the Divine Formation as a shield. Second, it was to prevent others from entering, preventing them from sharing the spoils of war underground.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush at all. Even the eternal light was hard to obtain. It was hard to imagine how horrifying the "lord" at the end of the corpse river was.
Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to warn those half-ancestors. However, late at night, those half-ancestors had already taken action.
They appeared silently, not giving others any chances. They directly laid down a large formation, isolating everyone outside.
Xiao Chen looked at the Sun Blocking Divine Formation and said, "I can't even warn you out of goodwill. If you run into danger, it is purely your own fault."
More than one hundred bone banners stood among the lofty mountains and precipitous ridges, all of them more than a hundred meters tall. Xiao Chen did not know how they were made. The huge white bones looked exceptionally terrifying. The banners fluttered in the wind, releasing boundless black fog.
Soon, this strange land was sealed. From a distance, ghosts cried and gods howled. Many gods and demons gathered around the hundred-odd bone banners, rearing their heads to the sky and howling.
How was this a Divine Formation? It was clearly a Malicious Spirit Formation. Without even thinking, it was clear that this was the work of the Skeleton Sovereign, supported by many half-ancestors.
Gloomy clouds filled this place. Sinister winds howled, and Demonic Qi soared into the clouds, covering the sky and sun. The place was dark and gloomy.
This was an ominous land in the first place. With these arrangements, this place became even more sinister. Humans, ghosts, and gods would all retreat when they saw it.
On this night, everyone in the periphery was shocked. They all cursed the Skeleton Sovereign and the others for being immoral, cutting off the fortuitous encounters of others.
Xiao Chen learned from the curses of those in the know that the half-ancestors working together were his enemies — the Asura Half-Ancestor, the Skeleton Sovereign, the Yaksha Half-Ancestor, the Holy God, and the others.
By the time the sky brightened, the region covered by the hundred-bone banners was so dark that one could not even see their fingers when stretched out. It was clear that the half-ancestors had set up a tight formation here. The main reason they mustered such a large force was to block the other half-ancestor-level competitors.
"You all want to monopolize everything. In the end, you will end up smashing your own feet with a rock."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly as he watched all this quietly from the side.
When the Sovereign King Formation completely formed, this region looked like a deep abyss.
"We will go underground from other places. I don't believe that we cannot barge through this formation."
Someone shouted, and several people immediately responded. However, everyone was disappointed to discover that the Sovereign King Formation reached the clouds and descended into the netherworld. There was no way to pass through it.
Xiao Chen hid in the crowd and discovered a few people who did not look outstanding wandering around the formation. He gradually paid attention and felt that these people were probably half-ancestors.
In the end, three of them actually managed to walk into the black fog formation, while the others were blocked outside. They were still wandering around and thinking about it.
Xiao Chen was not anxious at all. Even if these people managed to enter, they might not be able to obtain anything.
However, this thought did not persist for long before it changed. This was because he discovered the powerful Babula. Although this otherworldly Ancestor God used an illusion to hide his true body, when he wandered near Xiao Chen, he still felt the unique aura of an Ancestor God's blood.
That was the Ancestor God's blood Qi that Babula could not truly conceal.
The otherworldly Ancestor God Babula only circled around the formation once before he immediately started to break it and successfully barged in.
Xiao Chen was greatly surprised. Babula was clearly very afraid of the "lord" at the end of the corpse river, but why was he so impatient to barge in today?
Could it be that the Eternal Light is really here?
At this point, Xiao Chen could no longer remain calm. After he watched the few half-ancestors break the formation, he also started to make his move.
However, this Sovereign King Formation was no small matter. Those who did not know the ins and outs would find it hard to enter. Fortunately, he was not the only one who wanted to barge in. Coincidentally, there were three other half-ancestors that barged in. Xiao Chen used all his Vital Qi and followed them in.
What was Babula trying to do? This was what Xiao Chen urgently wanted to know.
The three people ahead disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, after entering the hinterland, although there were still some formations, they could no longer stop Xiao Chen. Soon, he discovered an entrance. The Skeleton Sovereign King and the others worked together to excavate a huge cave. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
Xiao Chen did not have any reason and directly went down.
A sinister wind blew, and the cold air was very strong. Furthermore, there was a faint corpse stench.
After going down for several thousand meters, the sound of flowing water could be heard. A yellow river that sent a chill down one's spine surged and roared.
Corpse river!
Indeed, it was the location of the corpse river.
The water in this area was very rapid. The yellow corpse water occasionally surged up, and the stench assaulted the nose.
Experts who cultivated to the half-ancestor realm were all extraordinary people. Clearly, the people who entered later discovered that something was wrong and became very cautious, carefully advancing along the corpse river.
Just at this moment, a furious roar came from the front. It came from the Skeleton Sovereign King.
Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. If that sleeping "lord" woke up, not many people here would survive.
However, the worst-case scenario did not happen. The Skeleton Sovereign King rushed downstream and looked around furiously.
The few half-ancestors in front all looked at the old skeleton strangely. Xiao Chen nearly laughed out loud. The Skeleton Sovereign King's left calf bone had disappeared. It seemed like someone had snatched it away with brute force.
"Did you see a monster with eight bone spears?"
The Skeleton Sovereign King was very sullen. Clearly, its mood was very bad. Just at this moment, the Asura Sovereign King and the Yaksha Sovereign King rushed over.
"No one rushed out at all. If an enemy ambushed you, they must still be in front."
"Let's go!"
Hearing that, the expressions of the Yaksha half-ancestors and the others changed. They immediately rushed upstream, afraid that someone else would beat them to it.
Xiao Chen snatched away the left calf bone of the otherworldly Ancestor God Babula. Now, he sneak-attacked the Skeleton Sovereign King and snatched away the calf bone.
A sovereign king was plotted against and had a part of its body torn away. How could it not be angry?
Xiao Chen felt somewhat anxious. Babula did not retreat. Clearly, he had gone deep into the corpse river. He dared to take such a risk out of fear of the sleeping "lord". The Ken Clan had something that could attract the otherworldly Ancestor Gods!
The few half-ancestors in front of Xiao Chen also increased their speed. They rushed upstream as fast as lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen did not dare to delay. He followed the surging corpse river and rushed quickly.
The stench in front was unbearable. A yellow sea appeared in everyone's vision.
"How can there be a yellow corpse sea underground?"
Xiao Chen could not understand. Soon after, he seemed to have discovered something. He muttered to himself, "That's not right. This place is a world of its own. It is a mysterious space opened by someone. Hmm, that is …"
Xiao Chen could not help but reveal a startled expression. A huge island appeared indistinctly in the boundless yellow corpse sea. Unexpectedly, it gave off a divine light that soared into the sky. All the half-ancestors were already rushing there.
