- Ancient Artifact
The golden light disappeared. The summoning scripture sound drifted into the distance, it couldn’t be heard anymore.
They followed the burial region branch vein into the deepest ancient region, restoring peace to this place.
There were no sounds even after a long time had passed, no words spoken. The events just now were too strange. A living being actually rushing over, an incomparably powerful primordial spirit!
“Where is its flesh? What era was it lost? Just where did it come from exactly?” Finally, a Golden Undead Knight spoke, its voice trembling.
Burial Abyss was a danger spot everyone believed definitely didn’t have life, even undead knights would die if they went inside. After remaining quiet for endless generations, there was actually a primordial spirit that struggled free.
This made everyone couldn’t help but feel a wave of chilliness!
“There are some rumors that aren’t necessarily fake. This place is extremely strange, things related to the birth of Burial Kings are worth thinking about!” A Golden Undead Knight said quietly.
In reality, if one was talking about the degree of shock, who could compare to Shi Hao? He understood even better than everyone here where that primordial spirit really came from!
Black prison, this ancient name was almost completely covered under dust, who would have expected that it would appear today, moreover a living being struggling free from it?
Just what kind of place was this? Prisons appeared one after another along the ancient river of time, drifting about, just how were they produced?
“I hate these types of strange things the most!” On Shi Hao’s shoulder, the immortal medicine couldn’t help but break out into a cold shiver, saying to itself like this.
Burial Abyss, this place was completely dark, temporarily recovering its peace, becoming quiet.
There was actually no one who was willing to go down to search for treasures right now, nor did anyone say anything else. They were all absent-minded from the scene they saw just now.
Suddenly, the black abyss released ripples again, multicolored light flickering about, spreading towards the surface.
“Don’t tell me there’ll be another primordial spirit that rushes out?”
The silence was shattered.
“No, this time, these are the ripples that should have appeared. Burial treasure is about to appear.” Shenming said. In addition, she took action, the first one to walk towards the great abyss.
When the others saw this, they quickly moved as well. This time, they came for opportunities and natural luck, so they naturally didn’t want to fall behind others.
“Brother Huang, please.” Sanzang called out, moving together with Shi Hao. They stood at the edge of the abyss, looking down through the primal chaos mist.
Everyone opened their Heavenly Eyes, looking towards the great abyss, wishing to completely see through this place.
The ripples were brilliant, extremely divine, overflowing from time to time, gentle like the ripples produced by a spring breeze.
“Wu, I hope we can obtain a burial treasure. When the time comes, we can bring it up to the outside world and temper ourselves.” Sanzang said to himself.
The other Golden Undead Knights didn’t show any reactions, but Shi Hao was greatly shaken inside. The undead knights were going to take the initiative to head to the outside world? This was different from his understanding!
Did he misunderstand? Didn’t the underground creatures always like sleeping?
Then, the words of one of the undead knights proved that this wasn’t just empty words. Shi Hao’s understanding wasn’t mistaken.
“Do you want to enter that large city, or that place outside the pass?”
“Wu, we’ll decide when the time comes. After sleeping for endless time, those places should have already become a bit lively.” Sanzang said.
This made Shi Hao’s mind rise and fall greatly, wave surge intensely within him. Weren’t the undead knights usually deathly still? They were actually going to participate in these things? This really left him in disbelief!
It was clear that the large city they talked about referred to Imperial Pass, while the place outside the pass was the foreign side.
“Ai, what a pity, I don’t know what the Burial Kings are thinking, remaining asleep for endless time, never leaving the Ancient Burial Region. Otherwise, burial land would be even more vast and boundless!”
The words a Golden Undead Knight said left Shi Hao with a strange feeling. Could it be that wherever the Burial King passed, that land would become burial land? Just the thought of this being a possibility alone caused a chill to run down his back.
“That can’t be right? There will definitely be great chaos in the future!” Shi Hao was given a fright. Because just now, just a random association already made him feel like the future would be a world of darkness.
The other side’s invasion could already wipe out the Nine Heavens Ten Earths. If burial land revived, then he really wouldn’t dare imagine the consequences.
Shi Hao was stupefied. When he thought of the conversation between the fat daoist and his disciple before the great river of time, he began to wonder to himself. Were things really going to be verified step after step? When the time comes, what they had to face would be unimaginable!
“Aside from us few Golden Undead Knights, the other clansmen have no way of entering those places, they will be discovered.” Shenming said.
Reality was indeed like this. The Golden Undead Knights were no different from the creatures of the outside world, to the extent where they were even more divine and holy, every one of them looking like solitary immortals, like gods!
“It’s coming, be careful!” Someone shouted loudly.
Inside the abyss, there was an expanse of multicolored light that rushed out. All of the Golden Undead Knights took action together. They all displayed their own methods, starting to capture it.
“It is time for you to take action!” Shi Hao said to the old medicine.
It was a pity that the old medicine didn’t have eyes to roll, or else it would definitely be glaring at him right now.
“Don’t speak randomly, be careful not to give us away. Now isn’t the time for me to go yet, it’ll depend on you. Moving about recklessly will make me break down!” The immortal medicine said.
Shi Hao was a bit embarrassed. He really didn’t know much about this place after all.
He immediately produced the Nine-Faced Burial Stone, doing this based on what the old medicine said. Several streaks of divine multicolored light immediately rushed out, heading murderously in his direction.
“Burial weapons!” Someone cried out in alarm.
The Nine-Faced Burial Stone was too useful, immediately drawing over this type of weapon. It was as if it had a wave of magical power, becoming a guiding lamp in the darkness.
However, the killing intent was still endless. Those burial artifacts were full of cold energy, carrying cold radiance. One could see a few extremely ancient weapons.
There were some that carried mottled traces, some that were cracking apart, some that were extremely damaged. However, right now, they were all shining, frantically flying towards the Nine-Faced Burial Stone.
At this moment, even Shenming couldn’t help but sigh, saying, “Worthy of being a burial treasure -- Nine-Faced Burial Stone, summoning these burial weapons over in worship.”
Shi Hao was stunned. This stone was even more precious than he had imagined, actually having this type of use.
However, when these weapons hacked over, they also brought danger. Cold radiance flickered about, killing intent overflowing into the heavens. A single mistake and he would be chopped into pieces.
He produced that lump of blood. The hardened blood was as tough as rock, lacking the slightest fluctuation. It didn’t have any powerful magical force either.
However, something that left everyone stupefied happened. Some of the weapons that flew over fell, dropping back into Burial Abyss, some releasing ka ka noises, the cracks seemingly becoming bigger.
Not a single one of the weapons came, they either fled or dropped into the abyss, none of them ultimately approaching.
When it saw Shi Hao’s shocked appearance, the immortal medicine had a complacent look on its face, saying, “How can items that are called burial treasures be ordinary?”
According to what it said, regardless of whether it was the Nine-Faced Burial Stone or that lump of dried-up blood, they were both burial treasures in the real meaning, absolutely priceless!
Shi Hao’s face darkened. “Do you realize that the burial weapons that rushed over all escaped? I didn’t obtain anything! It was all because of this piece of blood!”
“It’s fine. With the appearance of these two burial treasures, especially this blood’s strange force, those things are just small tricks. By forcing away these weapons, once a weapon really dares to come over, then that will definitely be a burial treasure, something that’s even better!” The immortal medicine said.
Burial treasures were rare, all of them priceless objects.
In the surroundings, the faces of a group of people became dark, because the burial artifacts that rushed at them also changed directions, all of them either fleeing or falling back into the abyss.
“Brother Huang, this won’t do. Unless they are the most powerful burial treasures, none of the other artifacts will be willing to come over. It will be hard for us to obtain anything.” A Golden Undead Knight said.
“Brother Huang, please put it away for now. In a bit, when we enter deeper into the abyss towards that burial palace, we can use these two treasures.” Sanzang said.
They were going deeper into the abyss? Shi Hao was immediately shocked, this was different from what he understood. There was a palace down there? What kind of history did it have?
“You all… are going to enter that legendary palace?” The others were shocked, clearly feeling incredible fear towards that place.
“After endless time passed, not many people have entered. It is too dangerous!” There was a Golden Undead Knight who said this.
“It’s fine, we now have two stalks of immortal medicines, and together with our burial treasures, it should be worth a shot!” Shenming also spoke up. She also wanted to take part in this.
“Alright.” Shi Hao nodded, putting the two burial treasures away.
Shenming was extremely jealous. These two items were both discovered from the open market, yet she missed out on them, filling her with regret.
“Brother Huang, do you have any other burial artifacts?” Sanzang asked, revealing a strange expression.
It was because after Shi Hao put the two burial treasures away, he didn’t hold any other magical artifacts in his hands.
One had to understand that this place was extremely dangerous. Regardless of whether it was Shenming or Sanzang and the others, they all produced powerful burial artifacts to protect themselves.
This question gave Shi Hao a headache. How could he have burial artifacts? Could it be that he had to bring out the Everlasting Sword Core and others?
“Hurry and take a look, which one of these weapons can bluff their way through?” Shi Hao secretly transmitted sound to the immortal medicine.
“None of them, they don’t have the slightest relationship to burial artifacts!” The old medicine completely rejected them all.
“What about this?” Suddenly, Shi Hao discovered an ancient artifact that had been unused for many years.
The immortal medicine gasped. It didn’t see the real thing, only deducing through the imprint Shi Hao produced that this thing was formidable.
“This is it! This is a formidable ancient burial artifact!” It came to this decision.
Shi Hao’s mind trembled. He immediately thought of many things, because this item really was unordinary, he hadn’t used it all this time.
Now, he didn’t hesitate, bringing it out. This place immediately became dark, and then specks of dark light were released, moreover accompanied by chaotic energy!
When this ancient artifact appeared, everyone became shocked, revealing looks of envy.
This was a small cauldron, extremely small, only fist-sized, entirely pitch-black. It carried bits of endless radiance, a mysterious aura restrained within its simple and ancient appearance.
The cauldron surface was covered in cracks, as if it had been smashed apart, and then forcefully stuck together. It was accompanied by primal chaos, making it look clearly extraordinary, ancient and profound.
Forget about other things, just the material alone was enough to leave one shocked. It was because this was completely made of Darkness Immortal Gold!
Ever since he obtained it, for many years, Shi Hao didn’t use it. It was because he really didn’t feel at ease with this magical artifact, always feeling like it was sinister!
It was to the extent where he had tried to destroy it with the Everlasting Immortal Sword, after all, that sword core could devour Immortal Gold, use it to replenish itself.
“Good stuff! It was definitely a supreme treasure before. What a pity, it was destroyed, actually covered in so many cracks. Just what kind of great battle did it experience before?”
“Perhaps it has buried an immortal in the past.”
When this cauldron appeared, the group of Golden Undead Knights sighed with praise, feeling deeply shocked.
They all believed that this was an ancient burial artifact with great origins, existing for a long time. The undead weapon aura it released was too strong, making all of their bodies feel comfortable, as if they were going to ascend.
It really was a burial artifact? Shi Hao found it hard to calm down. He thought back to some things, his mind immediately surging with emotions. It now seemed like many things were far more complex and terrifying than he had originally thought.
