The Death World had too many secrets. Immemorial Demon Cities were definitely not rare in this world.
Billions of years ago, this world was the center of the myriad of worlds. Its history was even longer than the Heaven Realm. It was said that all the experts of the myriad of worlds came to worship it.
Most of the stonemen and cultivators below the Ancestral God Realm didn't participate in the war. They lived in seclusion and had already condensed their own demon cities.
This was the reason why the Death World had so many Immemorial Demon Cities.
Many Immemorial Demon Cities gathered the experts of the myriad of worlds!
Even though the Death World was on the verge of collapse in that war, it didn't mean that all the experts of the past had died in battle.
As for the stonemen and the Ancestral God from billions of years ago, it was hard to estimate how many people survived after the world-shaking war.
The Pure Land and the Immemorial Battlefield were only separated by a spatial barrier. After the dimensional barrier was cut open, demonic aura immediately surged in.
The eerie aura of death filled the air. It was a huge contrast to the Pure Land that was full of vitality. The two were worlds apart.
"Is that the Immemorial Battlefield?"
Two faint golden lights shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes. Almost all the strongest experts of the past had fallen there.
"That's right. That's the ancient battlefield where the experts of the myriad of worlds fought their ultimate battles. Back then, who knows how many powerful figures had fallen there. Even though time has passed, everything of the past is still difficult to erase."
Qingqing stood in front of the opened spatial barrier with Keke in her arms. She gazed at the boundless world of darkness. That was the last traces left behind by the battle of the deities in the past.
"Squeak …"
Keke was very naughty. She struggled to enter that space to see what was going on, but Qingqing stopped her.
"Don't enter rashly. It's very dangerous inside."
Ten thousand years ago, Qingqing and the others were stopped by this Immemorial Battlefield and couldn't pass through. She might be able to give it a try now, but she was currently fused with the Dream Flower, so it was inconvenient for her to move.
What kind of world was this? What was in front of the battlefield? Xiao Chen's heart was filled with many questions.
"Bang …"
This dimensional world shook, and the space barrier in front of them was broken. Outside, a vast army of skeletons surged over.
Among them, a few skeletons were at the forefront. They took large strides and brandished their bone blades, looking around disdainfully.
"Who are they?"
Xiao Chen gazed at the boundless skeletal creatures.
"They are fire seeds summoned by a powerful existence. They often attack this place in order to seize the Flower of Dreams."
King Qinguang walked forward and blocked the path of those people. At the same time, he explained to Xiao Chen.
"Can't we destroy them forever?"
"We are unable to discover the mastermind behind this. There are thousands upon thousands of flames, and he can summon them at will. There is no end to them."
Lunhui Wang also walked forward and said, "According to my conjecture, that person might be a formidable vengeful spirit that came from the Primeval Battlefield, and it's extremely likely that he's the remnant soul of the Flower of Dreams that we obtained."
"That kind of old fogey is extremely crafty. Unless he's absolutely certain, he won't reveal himself. He's always sending people to disturb our cultivation."
King Yanluo said as he attacked, as if he was already used to such things.
"This is not good. If they succeed, it will be too late for regrets."
Xiao Chen frowned.
"We have the Abyssal Abyss, so we usually cover this place with it."
While speaking, the three skeletons already made their move with all their might. They expelled all the skeletal creatures from this dimensional space and began their merciless massacre.
Just at this time, the stone jar on Xiao Chen's body suddenly trembled lightly. After that, it flew out by itself and floated in this dimensional space.
Keke was like a curious baby, she wanted to grab it and play with it. However, she was stopped by Xiao Chen. He knew this stone jar was very strange and powerful, so he wanted to see how it would perform.
"Buzz … …"
The stone jar shook violently in the air. Even though it was only as tall as a palm, it was as if it could topple the mountains and overturn the seas. It caused the surrounding space to collapse.
There were many ancient engravings on its surface. At this moment, it was emitting a bright radiance. After that, it began to absorb the surrounding space frantically like a whale sucking in water.
One could clearly see with the naked eye, one after another black radiance soared into the sky from every corner of the space, and gathered on top of the stone jar.
"That is … … powerful soul power!"
"There is also the power of the curse!"
Just at this time, the three skeletons returned after defeating the enemies. They were very sensitive to the power of the curse.
The stone jar was still trembling as it absorbed the surrounding black radiance unceasingly.
"No … …"
Just at this time, a shriek transmitted over. The most powerful black radiance soared into the sky, it wanted to break through the space and escape.
Keke's reaction was very fast, she opened up the Lost Paradise all of a sudden and enveloped that black radiance.
"Buzz … …"
The stone jar trembled and completely absorbed that black radiance.
"I understand now, he was only trying to cover up his attack by harassing us. Every time, he would take advantage of the chaos to leave behind a portion of the power of the curse and a weak divine sense. He wanted to suddenly counterattack us one day in the future."
After deducing this conclusion, the three skeletons were very furious. Even Qingqing's complexion changed.
The power of the curse was the most mysterious, the three skeletons only managed to grasp it after they accidentally obtained some kind of inheritance in the ancient battlefield.
Qingqing said, "It must be the resentment of the fallen experts during the final battle of the Death World. Legend has it that the power of the curse had been developed to the pinnacle during that period. Many powerful figures were proficient in it. However, after the great war millions of years ago, the inheritance of the curse gradually declined."
Just at this time, a world-shaking roar transmitted from the ancient battlefield through the torn space. Even someone as powerful as Xiao Chen and the others felt their heart palpitate.
"It really is the resentment from the ancient times!"
A divine radiance shot out from Yanluo Wang's eye sockets as he stared at the ancient battlefield and said, "What a pity, this time he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice used to lure it."
The stone jar seemed to be especially sensitive to the power of the soul. In the past, it relied on this to repel the powerful divine sense of the True Wood Saintess. Today, it showed its might again, and it seemed to be able to restrain the power of the curse.
"Squeak … …"
Just at this time, Keke let out a cry of fear. The little thing was swaying left and right as it was sucked in by the stone jar.
Xiao Chen was gobsmacked, he hastily stopped it and hugged it.
The stone jar shook violently, the suction force became even stronger. Just at this time, a wisp of black gas floated out from Keke's body.
"That is the power of the curse!"
Lunhui Wang cried out in fear, it seemed like he was very shocked.
Xiao Chen immediately understood, Keke's family was once cursed and was on the verge of extinction. The so-called heaven-defying family only had three to five members. It was easy to imagine how terrifying this kind of curse was.
Especially Keke, it suffered from a double curse. Because its mother was the Ancestral Dragon, she also suffered from the curse.
After knowing all this, Xiao Chen revealed a joyous expression, it seemed like the stone jar could break Keke's curse.
"Squeak … …"
However, Keke let out a cry brimming with fear. At the same time, Xiao Chen discovered its soul was about to rush out of its body.
And just at this time, the stone jar flew over on its own. After seeing this scene, Xiao Chen was terrified and hastily stopped it.
Lunhui Wang shouted at Keke, "Don't circulate your divine power."
Even though the little thing was very flustered, it didn't lose its judgment. It immediately calmed down after hearing what was said.
Speaking of which, that stone jar immediately stopped trembling. Xiao Chen hastily grabbed it and sealed it inside the ancient scroll. Only like this, did everyone break free from their nervous state.
The three skeletons understood the curse, they understood the reason behind it after a simple deduction.
According to what they said, Keke was cursed, and it was a curse that was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
It seemed to be the strongest kind of curse from millions and millions of years ago. It could practically annihilate any of the golden clans that could move unhindered in the universe.
Even if it was not the strongest curse in the past, it could still be ranked in the top five. It was much more powerful than what the three skeletons were able to use at present.
This kind of curse had already intertwined with Keke's soul … … it would fluctuate along with its soul. That was why when the stone jar was absorbing it, it almost swallowed its soul at the same time. Only when it calmed down, could the power of the curse fall asleep and avoid the stone jar's absorption.
According to what they said, there was currently no one who could break this kind of powerful curse. No one could separate it from Keke's soul.
"Perhaps, only by reaching the level of the Golem King can he break this kind of curse by himself. Outsiders can't help him at all."
After hearing what Lunhui Wang said, Keke grumbled a few times while panting with rage. It clenched its little fist tightly.
Xiao Chen held the stone jar in his palm again and observed it carefully. He didn't expect it to be this powerful and heaven-defying. It could restrain the curse and pure soul, it was indeed a precious treasure.
Keke still had a lingering fear, it became obedient and took a few steps back.
Xiao Chen and Qing Qing studied it for a long time and came to a conclusion. He said to the slightly scared Keke, "It doesn't matter. Just now, the ancient curse triggered the power of the curse in your body, that's why the stone jar swallowed it. Under normal circumstances, the unforeseen event just now wouldn't happen."
Hearing this, the gloomy expression of the little critter was immediately swept away. It became lively all of a sudden and snatched the stone jar away. It turned it around to look at it.
"In case something unexpected happens, you should immediately prop up the Lost Paradise. It will definitely cut off the connection with the outside world in an instant."
Qing Qing rubbed the little critter's fluffy snow-white body. She possessed the "Abyss Prison", that was the most precious space that coexisted with the Lost Paradise. After studying it for more than a hundred thousand years, she naturally had a deep understanding of it.
"Squeak … …"
Hearing such words, the little critter became even more confident. It began to play with the stone jar without a care in the world.
But very soon, it revealed a strange expression. Its pair of big eyes brimming with intelligence were filled with suspicion. It stretched out a small claw and pressed it on the stone jar.
Xiao Chen and the others were also dumbstruck. There were many crisscrossing marks on the stone jar, and many of them overlapped with each other. At this moment, when the little critter's little claw pressed on the stone jar, it just so happened to overlap with a "plum blossom mark" that was very hard to distinguish. It was exactly the same as its chubby little claw.
"This … …"
Mang Chen was very surprised. Ever since he obtained the stone jar, he had studied it for such a long time, but he didn't make any discoveries. He didn't expect that the little critter would make a discovery from the chaotic overlapping marks as soon as it came into contact with it.
This discovery was just like how an ordinary person would discover a regular pattern from a chaotic 3D map.
"Swish … …"
The little claw that was hidden among the chaotic overlapping marks on the body of the jar suddenly shone brightly. The little critter was so frightened that it immediately threw the stone jar away with a tremble of its hand.
At the same time, it took out the Lost Paradise and enveloped everyone inside.
The little claw on the stone jar shot out a glaring ray of light and immediately pierced through the dimensional space outside. It took a long time before everything returned to normal.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. At the same time, their hearts palpitated.
"Squeak, I didn't do it on purpose … …"
The little critter was like a child who made a mistake. It lowered its head in annoyance.
"That is the power of the curse."
The three skeletons came to their senses in a flash. King Yanluo said, "It is the same as the power of the curse on Keke's body."
"This is a demonic jar, not only does it seal a powerful soul, it also contains all kinds of mysterious power of the curse. Just now, it seemed to have activated the most powerful power of the curse. If it was used on a person, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine."
This was the conclusion that Xiao Chen and the others came to after carefully speculating.
If it was used properly, this would be a powerful war treasure. However, if they were not careful, they might injure themselves. Because the method of activation was very strange, the little critter accidentally triggered one of the terrifying power within the jar.
After that, Xiao Chen and the others tried again and again, but they found out that it was very difficult to release the power of the curse.
This kind of power was too powerful, an ordinary person would turn into ashes on the spot. Even for a heaven-defying family like Keke, it was also because their ancestors had endured the majority of the power of the curse. After dozens of generations, the power of the curse on their body had already become a lot thinner than before.
In the following few days, Xiao Chen experimented again and again. He found out that this kind of power couldn't be controlled precisely. He concentrated on activating it for dozens of times, but he didn't necessarily succeed even once.
At the same time, during this process, he tried to get rid of Tenax's dragon curse. However, he found out that it was also a failure. The power of the curse on its body had also fused with its soul.
Half a month later, apart from Qingqing, everyone else set off. They were going to enter the battlefield left behind by the ancient times.
"We will be back in less than a month."
Xiao Chen bid farewell to Qingqing. He wanted to try and see if he could obtain any fortune there. After returning, he planned to go into closed-door training.
Keke waved her hand reluctantly and said, "We will be back very soon."
This was a huge battlefield. It was impossible to see the end of it. Black mist lingered in the air, and the atmosphere was gloomy. There weren't a lot of corpses on the ground, it could even be said to be very rare.
After all, the people who could stay in this ancient battlefield were all elites who came from all over the world millions of years ago. It was impossible for them to be seen everywhere like the common lifeforms.
"The master of the emperor city once found seven stonemen from this ancient battlefield. And Qingqing even obtained a seed of the Dreamflower from here. Perhaps we will also have a great harvest."
That seed that was separated by millions of years was even rarer than the stonemen. Xiao Chen didn't hope to obtain the sacred object on the Ancestral Dragon's skin, but he felt that finding one or two stonemen's remains might not be a problem.
Lunhui Wang reminded, "Don't be careless, not many ancestor god level experts are willing to enter this place. That is because it is really too dangerous."
Just at this time, everyone discovered a speck of light ahead.
"Treasure!"
Kill Vanquish Wolf cried out excitedly.
Keke was also itching to give it a try, she wanted to rush over.
However, the three skeletons' complexion immediately changed as they shouted loudly, "Run quickly!"
That speck of light became brighter and brighter. Everyone could already see it clearly, it was actually a ball of ghost fire. It looked especially scary in this desolate ancient battlefield.
The abnormally terrifying aura covered the sky and covered the earth as it surged over. There was no need for Qinguang Wang to remind them again, Xiao Chen and the rest already felt it.
"What the hell is that?"
"That is the Stoneman King's ghost fire!"
While Yanluo Wang was flying, he explained with lingering fear, "It is not much weaker than the real Stoneman King. If it touches your body, anyone will immediately turn into ashes. There is basically no hope of resurrection."
"If we refine it, wouldn't it be the same as controlling the Stoneman King's divine flame?"
Xiao Chen said.
"You must not take the risk, it is basically impossible to refine it. No one has ever succeeded before."
Lunhui Wang reminded.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen's Octadic Extreme Speed was fast enough. After an hour, they finally broke away from the Stoneman King's ghost fire.
They stopped in front of a huge ruin. The black fog was even heavier here, it was so heavy that they couldn't breathe.
Don't tell me there are some precious treasures here? "
Kill Vanquish Wolf had a miserly look on his face.
"If there were precious treasures everywhere, would it be your turn to pick them up?!"
Yanluo Wang glared at him.
"Eh … …"
Just at this time, Xiao Chen's expression became serious as he said, "I feel a special aura."
When everyone heard this, they all became nervous.
"The Heavenly Monument … … It's the Heavenly Monument!"
Xiao Chen felt very shocked. He actually discovered the aura of the Heavenly Monument in the deepest part of the world of death.
"Is it under these ruins?"
Tenax asked.
"It's very far away, very far away."
Xiao Chen gazed ahead.
"That direction is the forbidden area of the Primordial Battlefield. Rumor has it that only a few people have succeeded since ancient times."
Qinguang Wang revealed a grave expression.
