2825 The ancient God’s graveyards (1)
Tang Zhen originally thought that he would watch Rody’s journey in the void and experience a long and boring time.
In the end, he discovered that the river of time was flowing rapidly and marked a direction.
The end of the river of time was the final destination of Rody’s journey. It was where Rody was at the moment.
Without any hesitation, Tang Zhen chased after it.
The moment he reached the end, the illusionary scene became solid, and the flow of the river of time became normal.
However, when they looked at the surrounding scene, they were shocked.
On the vast land, there were huge bodies that were as large as mountains, and they looked similar to humans.
They were already dead, without any breath.
Many of the corpses had already sunk into the ground and were covered in dust. Looking at the traces of weathering on the surface of the corpses, they had died at least ten thousand years ago.
On the surface of the corpses, there were traces of battle. There were even some mountain-like objects, which were actually giant weapons made of unknown materials.
The word ” giant ” was actually a bit forced, because only after seeing it with one’s own eyes could one understand how shocking the scene was.
In front of it, normal humans were simply like a speck of dust, not worth mentioning at all.
In the air above these massive corpses, there were many foreign cultivators who looked like poisonous bees with hard wings on their backs.
They held javelin-like weapons in their hands and scanned the earth with cold eyes, exuding a fierce aura.
The average strength of these foreign cultivators was around level four or five, which was still a step away from being a Lord.
The fact that they could arrange cultivators of this level to act as Sentinels showed that this cultivator organization was not weak. It was possible that there were God-level cultivators in it.
Tang Zhen, who had been playing the role of a spectator from the beginning, became excited at this moment. He was guessing if there was an opportunity to hunt down a deity.
If that was the case, this trip would definitely not be in vain!
At this moment, fighting intent was boiling within Tang Zhen’s heart. He had never been afraid of battle. He would only become stronger when he encountered a stronger opponent!
He just didn’t know if there were any worthy opponents in this group of foreign cultivators who wouldn’t let him get excited for nothing.
With this thought in his mind, Tang Zhen’s observation became more and more careful. Unless a God rank cultivator carefully inspected it, it would be impossible to discover it.
When he found a suitable target, he would launch a thunderous strike, leaving no chance for the prey to escape.
The time that followed was for more detailed observation.
On the desolate and broken land, there were groups of prisoners with shackles on their bodies and all kinds of strange appearances.
These prisoners were all cultivators, but they were very weak, only level one or two.
They surrounded the giant corpse on the ground, constantly waving their tools, trying to break it into pieces.
The sound of a collision reverberated in the sky.
It turned out that the giant corpse was extremely tough. The prisoners kept waving their tools, but only a very small damage was done to it.
Although the work was extremely difficult, none of the prisoners dared to stop. Every time someone slacked off, the foreign cultivators in the sky would punish them.
With a point of the javelins in their hands, an electric current would fly out and fall on the lazy prisoners.
This was not a pure electric current, but a special spell that could multiply the pain.
The prisoner wrapped in electric current kept screaming in pain.
After the punishment ended, each and every one of them had their skin and flesh torn open, and their spirits were extremely low.
Every once in a while, the foreign cultivators would allow the prisoners to rest for about ten minutes.
The resting prisoners did not stay idle. They grabbed the powder that fell on the ground and threw it into their mouths to chew slowly.
These rocks and mud-like things were actually the dried flesh and blood of the giant corpses, which were used as food for the prisoners to replenish their strength.
The petrified flesh was difficult to digest and had to be chewed continuously before it turned into bright red mucus.
He swallowed the red slime, but his expression showed that he was having a hard time. It was obvious that this thing didn’t taste good.
However, in order to ensure their survival, they had to continue eating like this, because the foreign cultivators didn’t provide them with food.
Therefore, many prisoners ‘mouths were red as if they had just drunk blood.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that there were many cave-like things on some of the giant corpses.
Some of these caves were filled with wounds, and some were specially dug by prisoners, leading directly to the inside of the giant corpse.
The prisoners went in and out of these caves, pouring out the petrified flesh and blood powder, which piled up like a small mountain.
Compared to the petrified flesh and blood outside, the blood and flesh powder that was poured out had a strange dark red color.
Tang Zhen observed over a dozen giant corpses in succession and discovered that there was basically no difference. All of them had died due to the injuries from the war.
The entire land looked like a giant construction site, a busy scene.
Tang Zhen had already figured out the reason why the prisoner dug into the giant corpse. It was to find the blood Qi crystals hidden in the flesh.
This crystal was only the size of a fingernail, but it contained a rich power of qi and blood. Its purity was simply unheard of.
Under normal circumstances, the power of blood and Qi was far inferior to the energy of heaven and earth, and could only be used as blood food for low-level cultivators and pet demonic beasts.
However, there were some special transcendent creatures that possessed extremely powerful vitality. They could become gods and saints just by relying on their bodies.
To make it easier to distinguish them, the Lou Cheng cultivators called these transcendents the ancient God clan.
These transcendent lifeforms also had a weakness. Compared to God-grade cultivators who had long lifespans, these races with deity-grade bodies had a limited lifespan.
Whether it was a few hundred thousand years or a few million years, there would be an end to one’s life sooner or later.
Just like ordinary living beings, the end of this kind of life could not be reversed, but it was possible to be reincarnated.
Another disadvantage was that the body of this transcendent being would be damaged, which would lead to the loss of life.
The giant corpses on this land should belong to those special transcendent lifeforms, and might even have reached the level of gods.
The blood Qi crystals condensed in their bodies were far more valuable than crystals condensed from heaven and earth energy. They were definitely Supreme treasures for body cultivators.
Even if he did not cultivate his body, he could still nourish his soul and expand his sea of spirit after absorbing it.
No matter which force it was, this place was a super treasure that could allow a cultivator’s strength to increase rapidly.
No wonder the defense was so tight, even using special means to cut space and completely shield this world.
If he had not been tracking Rody and following the guidance of the Book of Destiny, Tang Zhen would not have been able to discover this place.
Although the treasure was moving, Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to act. He first went to find Rody’s traces.
Releasing his divine sense to search carefully, Tang Zhen sensed a familiar aura. It was located within an ancient God’s corpse.
When he got closer, he realized that it was a huge hole in the head of an ancient God’s corpse.
The huge hole in his head was obviously a fatal wound from a battle, but now it was being used by the prisoners.
There was a musty smell in the hollow, and the prisoners who worked here all had something like a mask on their faces.
It wasn’t just the smell that was bad, if one inhaled too much, it would cause a series of strange diseases to act up.
This was the corpse of a transcendent being at the deity level. The poison in its body was extremely terrifying. If an ordinary cultivator were to be contaminated by it, they would die without a doubt.
Compared to the prisoners working outside, the prisoners inside the head were undoubtedly more dangerous, and the chances of death were higher.
