"Which path should I take …" Xiao Chen asked himself.
They had already arrived at the crossroads. He needed to clarify a goal for the True Wood Sage.
After collecting the corpses of the old farmer, Mo Xiaowang, and the others, they did not return to the Nine Provinces immediately. Instead, they walked forward in the world of death.
They destroyed the True Wood Sage's stoneman foundation just like that. Now that they thought about it, the battle just now did not seem too shocking.
Perhaps, many things only lasted for an instant. After that, it was like a cool breeze blowing across the land, white clouds, and green mountains. Everything quickly returned to silence until there was no more feeling.
"You guys destroyed the True Wood Sage's foundation. This matter has definitely blown up. I'm afraid the deities will search for you even if they have to dig three feet into the ground."
Babula was worried.
"If one comes, we'll kill one. If a pair comes, we'll kill a pair."
Although Killing Vanquishing Wolf was reluctant to admit defeat, he also felt that it made sense.
"Let's not return to the Nine Provinces in the near future."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's cultivate quietly in this world of death."
In front, there was a black river surging unceasingly. It flowed across the land of death like a black demonic dragon. It was unknown how long it was.
Xiao Chen was no stranger to the Underworld River of Death. It originated from the deepest part. Even if one traced it back for hundreds of thousands of miles, it would still be difficult to find the end.
In the surging river, there would occasionally be snow-white bone jades leaping out of the water surface. They flickered with a strange radiance as they peeped at the few people who did not reveal their auras.
"Let's just take a stroll and think about our respective cultivation paths."
Xiao Chen had an urge to walk the stoneman path in this world of death.
With the Sovereign Divine City in hand, this was the best choice.
However, there were still more than ten thousand years until the thirty thousand year promise. If he condensed the Demon City, he would have to remain silent for at least two civilizations. He would not be able to keep the promise.
The few of them naturally knew that Xiao Chen had already reached the crossroads. Tenax said, "Now, without reaching the Stoneman King realm, there is no way to turn the situation around. I'm very worried about the war thirty thousand years later …"
In fact, after understanding the strength of the other world, Xiao Chen still had some worries. If they did not have a few kings, they would not be able to contend against them.
Killing Vanquisher Wolf also became serious for once. He said, "Why don't you calm down and ignore everything else? Use the Monarch's Colossal City to cultivate bitterly and walk the true Golem Path?"
They advanced along the black Netherworld River. The river water was like ink, so black that it made one's heart palpitate. It flowed endlessly like thunder, but also like ten thousand horses galloping. The sound was deafening.
At this moment, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in front of them. Countless skeletal creatures rushed over from the depths of the World of Death like a tide.
"Huh? What happened?"
The few of them were very surprised and focused their gazes.
A large number of pyro species were either flying or running. From afar, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. There were tens of thousands of them, and they stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Let's go and take a look."
Now, Xiao Chen had sufficient capital. Even in the world of death, he could do as he pleased. Aside from the mysterious place in the deepest depths, he could go anywhere.
The Kill Kill Wolf was very excited. He had awakened in this world, if there was a powerful flame creature in front of him, then it would undoubtedly be an effective nourishment for him. He believed that with Xiao Chen and Tenax here, even if they ran into two or three legendary ancestors, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Roar!!!"
A gigantic skeletal elephant the size of a small hill let out a soul roar and was the first to rush over.
The Kill Kill Wolf flung his shoulder-length hair and had the appearance of a narcissistic expert. He rolled up his sleeves in a nondescript manner and lifted the gigantic elephant that was rushing over, then he asked, "What happened in front?"
The gigantic elephant immediately felt the strength of the few people in front of it. Its mountain-like body trembled as it let out a soul voice, "There is a deathly storm ahead. I don't know what it is, but all the pyro species are running for their lives … …"
The Kill Kill Wolf tossed the gigantic elephant away, then he grabbed a few more powerful pyro species and interrogated them. However, he still didn't get the answer he wanted to know.
Just at this time, the army of tens of millions of skeletons arrived in front of them. They let out a rumbling sound, and the entire World of Death was shaking. And that black Netherworld River even surged up a huge wave that was several dozen meters tall.
Xiao Chen and the others soared into the sky and looked down at the torrent of skeletons as they flew forward.
"Rumble … …"
It was as if muffled thunder was rumbling in front of them. The skeletons were boundless as far as the eye could see.
"Boom … …"
At this moment, Xiao Chen and the others clearly saw several tens of thousands of skeletons exploding in front of them. They turned into bone powder and drifted along with the wind. The bone essence formed into rays of white light and rushed forward. It was as if there was a huge monster absorbing the energy of these skeletons.
"I heard that a Sovereign King needs a large amount of bone essence to advance to the Ancestral Monarch realm. It seems like there is a huge monster ahead that is going to become an Ancestral Monarch."
The Kill Kill Wolf said.
The boundless sea of bones blocked the path ahead. The deathly storm engulfed them. Not only did the skeletons shatter into pieces, the bone essence also condensed in front of the deathly battlefield.
"There is indeed a big guy."
Xiao Chen could already feel a powerful fluctuation of divine power at this moment. After that, he suddenly smiled at Babula and said, "Speaking of which, you also turned into skeletons back then. I almost forgot about it. I still have something of yours with me. I will return it to you now."
He took out a leg bone and threw it over. Black lines immediately appeared on Babula's forehead. In that battle back then, Xiao Chen forcefully snatched a leg bone from Babula. After so many years, he didn't expect it to be thrown back to him again. This really drove him crazy.
"You … …"
Babula panted heavily.
The Kill Kill Wolf shamelessly said, "If you don't want it, just give it to me."
"Stay at one side!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen and the others advanced for more than a hundred miles and finally saw the fist. Out of everyone's expectation, there was a huge ghost town erected there. It was not the Sovereign King advancing to the Ancestral Monarch realm, but the stoneman summoning the essence of the skeletons.
The scale of the stone town was not very big. It was a lot smaller than the demonic cities they saw in the past. It looked like a stone castle. The scale was really very small.
Just above that little stone town, a stoneman with only two petrified arms was floating in the air. He was meditating cross-legged, and all the bone essence was condensing towards him.
"Such a small stone town, and it came into being before it even took the final step … …"
Tenax was in deep thought.
"I have seen this person before."
Xiao Chen was a little astonished. This was one of the experts of the otherworld in the past. Back then, when he was wreaking havoc on the otherworld with the yellow platform, he vaguely saw this person. He didn't expect that after more than a hundred thousand years, he had already become a stoneman. His growth speed was so fast that it made people tongue-tied.
"That's not right, other than his arms, which can barely be considered a stoneman, the rest of his body is not even comparable to the Ancestral Monarch of the Ninth Celestial Layer. It's a very strange feeling."
Xiao Chen knitted his brows and said, "It's a very strange feeling. He doesn't look like a stoneman, but more like a Seventh or Eighth Celestial Layer Ancestor God."
"Since he is an expert of the otherworld, then there is nothing else to say. Let's take him down first."
Tenax's battle intent was soaring.
Babula had an indifferent expression. It was very obvious that he recognized the person in front. However, it seemed like there was no grudge between them, so he didn't want to get involved.
"It's very easy to deal with him. It seems like he just walked out of the stone town after the failure. His vitality is greatly injured, and he is extremely weak. Not to mention the stoneman, even a Fifth Celestial Layer Ancestor God can pose a threat to him."
This was the result of Xiao Chen's careful observation. He held the stone jar in his palm and gently rubbed the Stoneman King's imprint on it. Immediately, the powerful Stoneman Body appeared in the void.
"Capture him!"
Xiao Chen shouted lightly.
The Stoneman King puppet let out a roar. It immediately shook the entire continent of death. Tens of thousands of fire type creatures crawled on the ground, they didn't dare to move an inch.
And that stoneman floating above the stone town also opened his eyes in shock.
The instant he saw Xiao Chen's group, he revealed his murderous intent. But when he noticed the Stoneman King, he revealed a startled expression. Without saying a word, he soared into the sky and was about to escape.
"Roar!"
The Stoneman King puppet's battle prowess was overwhelming. The boundless pressure caused the entire continent of death to crack. The "War God Domain" descended and covered the sky. It sealed off all directions in an instant. That stoneman couldn't escape at all.
"Boom!"
The Stoneman King puppet blasted a punch. The stone town in front immediately crumbled on the ground. And that stoneman was even more so as if he was struck by lightning. The arms he used to support his chest were broken on the spot. His chest even caved in. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
This was the might of the Stoneman Body. Apart from a freak like the True Wood Saintess, no one below the primogenitor level could contend against it.
"Boom!"
The Stoneman King puppet's aura soared to the sky as it blasted another punch. That stoneman who fell to the ground couldn't resist at all. Thousands of expressions shot out, but all of them collapsed in the void. At the same time, it couldn't stop the boundless fist power and collapsed on the spot.
The Slaughter Wolf and the Hydra were dumbstruck. Babula also revealed an astonished expression. Even Xiao Chen himself felt very surprised. The Stoneman King puppet was as easy as crushing dry weeds. This battle simply had no suspense at all. It was too fast. It ended in just two punches.
With a flash of light, the Stoneman King puppet imprinted itself on the stone jar again. Then, it disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Chen and the others descended and arrived beside that stoneman. They fixed that bloody head in place.
"I really didn't expect to meet you in this world. Speak, why did you appear in this world and condense the ghost town?"
The otherworldly expert's stone arms were shattered. Only his bloody head remained intact. His soul was preserved.
"Kill me if you want."
At the same time, he gazed at Babula doubtfully. Then, he cried out in surprise, "It's you …"
"If you don't speak, I'll take it by force!"
"No!"
The stoneman roared and wanted to detonate his soul.
However, Xiao Chen had absolute strength to suppress him. Even if he wanted to self-destruct, he couldn't.
Two golden lights shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes and entered the stoneman's sea of consciousness. Soon, he understood why the other party was shattered so easily. Strictly speaking, this wasn't a powerful stoneman at all. This was an expert who advanced using some unconventional method.
This otherworldly Ancestral God named Spirit Fox Killer. Yes, there's no mistake. His current strength was indeed far from the stoneman realm. It was just a trick.
In the World of Death, the Spirit Fox discovered the ruins of a collapsed ancient demon city. After excavating it, he found a stone corpse and used a secret technique to refine it. Then, he reconstructed the ruins, which was why he had his current achievements.
With the cultivation of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Ancestor God, he forcibly petrified his two arms. From the Ancestor God Realm, he stepped into the broken stoneman realm.
Xiao Chen was very interested in that secret technique. He forcibly searched through his sea of consciousness and finally found it.
There were indeed outstanding people among the otherworldly deities. In the past, someone used an unconventional secret technique to walk the Stone Golem Road. He continuously collected the remains of the Demon City and stone corpses, nearly taking the final step.
This was a great inspiration to Xiao Chen. He skimmed through it. Although it was just a hypothetical Great Dao with many flaws, it gave him boundless enlightenment.
Currently, Xiao Chen was at the crossroads where he needed to make a choice. After reading this secret technique, he had a new idea. Perhaps the Stone Golem Road and the Supreme Ancestor God Road were not the only two paths.
Starting from the stone corpses and the remains of the Demon City was a very unconventional inspiration.
"Yes, that is …"
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically. He found an infuriating memory in the Spirit Fox Killer's sea of consciousness.
The snow-white little beast, Keke, was enveloped in seven-colored light. It charged around desperately, its snow-white fur dyed red with blood.
In the end, it forcibly charged onto the charterer's warship. Unexpectedly, the deities used their full power. Before the warship could break through the barrier of the great world, the boundless divine laws struck it and broke off a section of the warship.
"Squeak … …"
The unwilling and immature cry ended just like that. On the broken warship, a few bloody paw prints were very eye-catching. It made Xiao Chen extremely sad and angry.
"Keke … …" Xiao Chen muttered softly.
This pitiful little thing was Xiao Chen's reverse scale. After he searched through all the memories, he crushed the skull in front of him with a bang.
After that, he mercilessly carried out the sacred sacrifice and collected all the life essence into the Demon City in his hand. In the end, he refined the stone city and stored it away.
"Keke is still in this world?"
Tenax revealed a surprised, happy, and sorrowful expression.
"I don't know, I only found a fragmented scene. There was no ending. I was killed by so many divine laws, even Xiao Chen found it hard to believe that Keke was still alive. But after all, there was still half of the warship that broke through the barrier of the great world. Perhaps there was still some hope.
They left this place, but they had only flown for ten thousand miles when a bizarre fluctuation appeared in front of them again.
"Today is really strange. Could it be that another stoneman has appeared?"
The Slaughter Vanquisher was bewildered and said, "Why are they all at the same time?"
Just at this time, the distant mountain range collapsed soundlessly and vanished in a puff of smoke.
It was very fast. The continuous mountain range in front of them collapsed like a sandstorm. A large area of land was turned into flat land. Countless mountains were turned into ashes.
This was a terrifying scene. It was very shocking.
A gray mist rolled over and over. It destroyed everything in its way and surged forward violently.
"The land of prophecy!"
Xiao Chen's eyes emitted two deep divine radiance. He knew what this mist represented because he had experienced it himself and almost lost his life.
"Death Celestial Palace, Mighty Underworld King, we meet again … …"
Xiao Chen was no longer afraid of this dangerous place. He protected the Slaughter Vanquisher and the Hydra and took the lead to fly forward.
On the other hand, Tenax and Babula didn't need his light barrier to protect them.
"This is the terrifying mist formed after the fall of the ancestral god … …"
Babula knitted his brows.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was advancing with a peculiar mood. He had always been suspicious about the Death Celestial Palace. He always thought that the prophecy was full of mysteries. He felt that things might not be that simple.
No matter what, he had to find out the truth this time. He wanted to see if Beyond Sky, Outsider, and Brave Bear had really fallen here or not.
The gray mist was boundless. It formed its own space and would only appear once every few hundred years.
There were many huge floating objects inside. Those were huge rocks that even the ancestral god's soul couldn't erase. They were high quality refining materials. They were like floating islands.
If one hadn't reached the ancestral god realm, they would need to rely on luck to enter the Death Celestial Palace even if they entered this mist. Back then, Xiao Chen and the others had to float for many years before they landed on that huge palace.
Xiao Chen used his powerful divine sense to scan all directions. He found the correct direction in an instant and led everyone forward at lightning speed.
After advancing for several hundred miles, a majestic palace slowly floated forward. It was bobbing up and down in the gray mist.
"What a magnificent palace!"
Babula gasped in admiration.
"We're rich!"
The Slaughter Vanquisher's eyes emitted green light as he rubbed his hands excitedly.
Xiao Chen and the others quickly approached and arrived in front of this boundless palace.
"That is … …"
Xiao Chen immediately revealed a startled expression. His eyes shone brightly as he saw half of the Ancestral God's Warship. It was anchored on the huge stone steps of the Death Celestial Palace.
"Keke … …"
Tenax cried out in fear. It didn't see Keke, but it saw the bloody paw print on half of the Ancestral God's Warship.
