Chapter 237: Overbearing Body Skull

~7 min read 1,300 words

Not clear, too ancient.

Feng Gu shook his head; the fortunate circumstances behind it, perhaps only the true form of the Great Saint Body knows.

What's wrong?

The Yaochi Saintess's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed at Yang Zhu, who had remained silent; it was obvious she was thinking.

Yang Zhu shook his head, turned to look at Feng Gu, and said only: "You only need to know that your ancestor was a great person; that is enough."

As an imperial son, Yang Zhu had grasped from various ancient texts or his father's lectures a fortune that is hard to imagine.

The Great Saint Body within the Holy Cliff of Undying Mountain was once a hero.

He had once suppressed the supreme of Undying Mountain during the dark turmoil, and later he even used supreme means to bind a section of Undying Mountain, transforming it into the Holy Cliff.

But like other Great Saint Bodies, he encountered misfortune in his later years, and worse, he later encountered an avatar of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, that is, the Undying Daoist.

Afterwards, under the assault and killing of the Undying Daoist, the Great Saint Body could only fall, blood staining the Holy Cliff.

A generation's Great Saint Body that once guarded humanity was buried in a foreign land like this.

Take these back with you.

After inquiring again, Yang Zhu left dozens of spiritual medicines, then departed with the Big Black Dog and others.

Thank you......

Feng Gu stared, those spiritual medicines are all over a thousand years old; here where spiritual energy is thin, even a century-old is rare, let alone a millennium-old.

It is simply a priceless treasure!

Only after leaving did Yang Zhu reveal the fortune he knew.

What a pity, a generation's Great Saint Body fell just like that.

The Yaochi Saintess sighed lightly; in an era when the Great Emperor did not appear, several Primeval Saint Bodies emerged, suppressing the Forbidden Zone of Life and resisting the dark turmoil.

They have always guarded humanity; it can be said that each is a supreme existence, worthy of reverence.

Damn, it's that old Undying Heavenly Emperor again—how is he everywhere? No wonder the Great Emperor had to suppress the Undying Daoist there.

Since learning some things about the Wushi Great Emperor from Yang Zhu, the Black Emperor, who already disliked the Undying Heavenly Emperor, now wishes he could point at his nose and curse him.

But he still held back a bit, after all he is the Undying Heavenly Emperor; he really dares not scold him out loud, only silently sending greetings in his heart.

Go check out the forbidden land.

In the recent understanding, although we learned of the decline of the Holy Saint Body's descendants, we also learned that this place has some quite unusual spots.

That place is commonly called the forbidden land by them; no one may see it unless they open the restriction set there, only then gaining qualification.

Unfortunately, over these many years, only a few could enter; after entering, without exception no one came out alive.

The poor Daoist wants to see—really that evil?

Duan De does not believe in evil; with Yang Zhu present, even the Undying Mountain in the Forbidden Zone of Life can be visited, let alone a forbidden land of a declined ancestral home, which needs no worry.

Half a day later, Yang Zhu and company arrived before a huge abyss, which was also a heavenly chasm dividing this land into two worlds.

Behind them lay the vast earth; ahead was an endless abyss, seeming boundless, stretching to the horizon with no end in sight.

The restriction varies with the era.

As Fei Gu said, if in its heyday, even a Great Saint arriving would likely be blocked, unable to set foot.

But with the passage of time, the restriction's effect changes according to the later generations' strength. At this point, the highest cultivator here, after training over a thousand years, only barely reached the Half-Step Dragon Transformation.

Therefore, only needing Dragon Transformation cultivation, there is a good chance to pass.

Yet even the lowest cultivators, the Big Black Dog and Duan De, have already achieved the Ninth Transformation of Dragon; thus, as they went deeper, they detected not the slightest abnormality.

This also precisely confirms the fact of decline..." the Big Black Dog muttered, for a moment not knowing what he felt.

He did not know much about that Great Saint Body, yet he guarded humanity; just that alone is worthy of his respect.

They leapt down, following the cliff wall inward; below it was pitch black, you couldn't see your fingers, and no light could penetrate.

However, their bodies emitted light, dispelling much darkness; with their cultivation not low, even shrouded in darkness they could still clearly see several hundred meters.

Another reaction.

During the descent, as they neared the bottom, the corpse of the Great Saint Body reacted again, as if stimulated by something.

Woof, it seems soon.

After falling dozens of kilometers, they finally saw a glimmer of light, exciting the Big Black Dog into constant shouting.

How could there be a platform?

I thought the underground was an unknown world, but after they landed, they actually stepped firmly on a flat ground.

Moreover, the platform is immensely vast, the eye cannot see its end, extending infinitely in all directions.

Yang Zhu instantly flew up, looked down, and was soon shocked.

Because the place beneath their feet is indeed a huge platform, only its appearance is extremely similar to something.

Exactly, it is the human Immortal Platform! After the Nine Transformations of Dragon, one can ascend the Immortal Platform, and the flat ground beneath their feet is precisely above the Immortal Platform.

I know what's going on.

After returning below, Yang Zhu expressed what he saw and his thoughts.

The poor Daoist said this ancient star looked strange; turns out it is a skull!

Duan De clapped his hands, suddenly realized, but soon he couldn't laugh, his body even shivered.

Infinite Heavenly Venerable, what kind of existence is it, that even after death a skull can transform into an ancient star, unimaginable how huge his body must be.

In other words, after all this effort, the group has been jumping on a dead person's head.

Just a single skull like this, it's hard to imagine how terrifying his true form's power was.

The Big Black Dog worries not at all; if any accident were to happen, those Saint Body descendants outside would have long been extinct, unable to survive to now.

He cared about who the skull's owner was, why the Great Saint Body chose to migrate here, and whether there was any connection; as they discussed, the movement inside the coffin grew louder, the runes on its surface all surfaced, only then suppressing all anomalies.

Yang Zhu pondered a moment, then a thread of divine sense probed into it; soon he could hear a calling……

One after another picture appeared in his mind, the clearest of which was nothing other than a life-and-death battle between two peerless powerhouses.

That battle shattered heaven and earth, destroyed the universe, even the void was worn away, one expanse of star sea after another was blown apart; the spectacle was no less grand than a duel between great emperors!

And one of them was the Accomplished Holy Body; as for the other, Yang Zhu also came to know while watching, it was the Heaven-Overwhelming Tyrant Body, the unsurpassed great enemy of the Primeval Holy Body! The Heaven-Overwhelming Tyrant Body, likewise a terrifying physique, could almost be matched against the Primeval Holy Body.

Throughout the long ages they have been contending, each having their own flourishing eras, making it hard to tell who is superior.
