Chapter 538: The Burial Ground
Extreme North.
It was a place of utter desolation.
Here, the sun never shone year-round, rendering it extremely cold.
Terrifying deadly winds filled the area, cutting against one's skin as if with knives.
Even the Battle King Level powerhouses could not withstand the assault of these horrific winds.
Moreover, with bad luck, one might even encounter spatial rifts.
Once swept into a spatial rift, even a Battle Emperor Level powerhouse would undoubtedly meet their death.
And now, Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope stood at the entrance to this Extreme North.
Before their eyes lay a canyon covered in perennial snow.
"This is the entrance to the Death God Domain," the Luotian Pope said. "Pass through this canyon, and you will see a massive space tear. Just enter the space tear, and you will arrive at the Death God Domain."
Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this.
Looking around at the harsh weather that could be described as severe.
He had not expected the Death God Domain to be located in such a place.
No wonder this place was known as a dead land, with such a harsh environment, it was hard to imagine what kind of dangers lay inside.
"What exactly are you looking for in the Death God Domain?" the Luotian Pope suddenly asked.
"Opportunity!" Xu Nian replied.
The Luotian Pope was taken aback.
This young man before her was already Tianhen Continent's most outstanding talent. If he followed the regular path of cultivation, no one would be able to surpass him.
Why take such a great risk to seek opportunity in such a desperate place?
"May I ask you a question?" Suddenly, Xu Nian turned his head to the Luotian Pope and inquired.
"What is it?" the Luotian Pope asked curiously.
"Sister Pope, what is your name?" Xu Nian asked earnestly.
The Luotian Pope was speechless for a moment, gave Xu Nian a white look, and then directly turned into a streak of light, rushing into the snowy mountain canyon.
With a faint smile, Xu Nian's figure also turned into a streak of light and followed.
As soon as he entered the canyon, Xu Nian felt the terrifying deadly wind hit him head-on.
The horrifying wind buffeted his body like numerous sharp blades, cutting Xu Nian's skin and leaving behind one white mark after another.
On the other side, the Luotian Pope directly activated the Great Brightness Stone to form a sacred Defensive Light Shield to fend off the terrifying winds.
When she turned to look at Xu Nian, she was surprised to find that Xu Nian had not activated any Defensive Light Shield.
Instead, he was bracing against the terrifying winds with his body.
Xu Nian's clothes were torn open with cuts all over.
The deadly winds striking his body caused him immense pain.
But he clenched his teeth and endured.
The Luotian Pope was taken aback.
She knew that Xu Nian was tempering his body with the deadly winds and was also trying to comprehend the Cutting Force of the Wind Attribute through his personal experience.
But she had not anticipated that Xu Nian would be so desperate in his cultivation.
She suddenly felt that Xu Nian's achievement in his cultivation at such a young age was not simply due to his extraordinary talents and good fortune.
Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope pressed on.
Along the way, Xu Nian encountered numerous spatial rifts.
These spatial rifts were obviously much larger than the ones he had previously created with Dimension Cutting.
And within these spatial rifts swirled powerful currents.
Once caught in the currents, even the most robust body would be instantly minced to nothingness.
Due to the fierce deadly winds, their speed was greatly reduced.
After enduring for a full two hours, Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope finally came to the end of this canyon.
At the end of the canyon was a huge space tear about twenty meters in length.
The terrifying winds were gushing out from this immense spatial rift.
And behind the spatial rift, there was darkness.
As if swallowing everything, it gave one an extremely oppressive feeling.
"Is this the Death God Domain?" Xu Nian stared at the vast space tear, murmuring in astonishment.
He really couldn't imagine what could have torn such a huge rift in space.
"That's right, this is the space tear. The ancestors of the Stam Giants emerged from here. As for what secrets are buried inside, no one knows, because those who went in never came back," the Luotian Pope said seriously.
Looking at the huge space tear before her, she also felt a bit daunted.
The aura emanating from behind the space tear was too horrifying.
Even she, a Battle Emperor level powerhouse, felt a little panic.
"Let's go in!"
Xu Nian said to the Luotian Pope.
The Luotian Pope nodded her head.
Since they were already here, there was no reason not to enter.
Xu Nian took the lead, charging straight toward the space tear.
The Luotian Pope followed closely behind.
The terrifying winds slapped directly onto Xu Nian's face.
The winds at the entrance of the space tear were clearly much more terrifying than those in the gorge.
In just a moment, Xu Nian's face and body were covered with dense bloodstains.
These were all wounds left by the winds blowing against him.
With Xu Nian's body at Four-star Body Saint level, these winds could easily slice through his skin.
It showed that their power was extraordinarily formidable.
Yet Xu Nian still braved the winds and charged into the entrance of the space tear.
Upon entering the space tear, Xu Nian immediately felt as if he had penetrated a thin membrane.
His entire being arrived in another space.
But when he saw the sight before him, he was stunned.
The Luotian Pope's figure also appeared, and when she looked forward, her cold and beautiful face also revealed an extremely shocked expression.
Where they stood was a bare and desolate hill.
And in front of them was a huge basin.
Within this basin, there were densely packed, numerous bones.
There were not ten million, then at least eight million of these bones.
The dense bones, crisscrossed and overlapping, were chilling to behold.
And these bones were clearly not just human; there were human bones, as well as Demon Beast bones.
There were even some bones of humanoid creatures.
Some of these bones even emitted a strong aura, obviously, they were very powerful beings in life.
"What a massive burial ground, how many people must have died to accumulate such a number of bones? Could a great battle have taken place here?" Xu Nian wondered aloud in surprise.
He had long heard that the Tianhen Continent was a Lost Land that had once been glorious.
But he had not expected it to be such a scene.
"Looking at the state of these bones, they should have been dead for over a thousand years. To be intact for a millennium, these beings must have been beyond the Battle Emperor realm before their demise," the Luotian Pope also remarked in amazement.
Even she was deeply moved by the sea of bones before her eyes.
"Ah, how could this be?"
At that moment, Xu Nian suddenly cried out in alarm.
The Luotian Pope's complexion also changed.
Because they discovered that they were unable to fly.
In other words, if they wanted to cross this expanse of bones, they had to walk step by step.
However, what surprised them even more was that the once long-dead bones were now coming to life, starting to crawl out from the soil.
Their eye sockets were all glowing with a deep green flame.
What do you think?
