Chapter 1584 Star Graveyard (1)

"Retreat!" Yun Lintian shouted and took Jiang Shuren away.

Kong Xun and Yu Zhilan quickly retreated to a safe distance.

"What's going on?" Jiang Shuren couldn't help but ask.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything and watched as the black worms began devouring the flesh and blood on the ground. As the worms swallowed them, their sizes constantly grew, and the dark energy inside them also became stronger.

Jiang Shuren and the others suddenly noticed a strange scene where the flesh and blood of Xing Ruihong and the Devil God Emperor were disappearing one after another.

After devouring everything, the black worms quickly gathered together and slowly formed a humanoid figure.

"What is that...?" Kong Xun was startled by the creepy scene.

On the side, Yu Zhilan's aura surged as she prepared to launch an attack. However, Yun Lintian raised his hand to stop her. "Wait and see first. Maybe it can give us a clue about this place."

Yun Lintian knew it was risky to let these worms complete their process, but it was also a good opportunity for everyone to get a clue from it. Risks and rewards always coexist, and he dared to bet on them.

Soon, the human-shaped figure took form, and a familiar face slowly appeared. It was clearly the face of the deceased Devil God Emperor.

"To think that all of you could actually destroy my body..." The man's face was icy, matched his eerie voice as it resounded.

The expressions of Yun Lintian and the others turned solemn as they witnessed this scene. Especially Kong Xun, who was the oldest person here. He had never seen anyone come back to life after exploding into pieces before in his lifetime. What kind of technique was this?

BOOM!!

Yu Zhilan's aura erupted as she arrived beside the man and thrust the ice sword she had previously obtained at him. The sword covered in a blue light, radiating a terrifying icy energy as it went straight into the man's head.

"Hmph!" The man snorted disdainfully, and the black lance, which was not far away from him, suddenly shot towards Yu Zhilan, forcing her to defend against it.

Clang!!

Two weapons collided, and Yu Zhilan was forced to retreat several steps.

In that instant, Yun Lintian silently arrived before the man and was about to let out another roar. However, the man had already anticipated this and swiftly punched Yun Lintian with incredible speed.

Kong Xun hastily created a golden barrier to shield Yun Lintian from the man's punch.

BOOM!!

The barrier shattered directly under the tremendous force of the man's punch. However, it was enough to buy Yun Lintian some time to avoid the punch.

Yun Lintian activated Shadow Step and swiftly shifted his body to the side before opening his mouth.

ROAR— n0veluSb.c0m

The cry of a tiger reverberated through the heavens and the earth once again. However, this time, the man froze for a split second and quickly recovered before Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan could attack him.

"Die!" The man uttered coldly. A black mist suddenly erupted from his body and lashed out like a claw, creating a dark scar in the space around him.

Yun Lintian, who stood closest to the man, was instantly engulfed by it, while Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan were compelled to intercept it.

Bang!

Instantly, Jiang Shuren and Yu Zhilan were sent flying, and blood could be seen pouring out of their mouths. However, they didn't care about the pain as they stared at Yun Lintian's location in despair... Could he be...?

The man sneered and was about to say something. However, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes when he saw Yun Lintian standing several kilometers away from him, unharmed.

He recovered and said. "Interesting. If I guess correctly, the technique you used is the Shadow God's Shadow Step. And the soul offensive technique came from your distinctive bloodline. Let me guess, it's the legendary White Tiger God's bloodline, right?"

Jiang Shuren and the others were relieved to see that Yun Lintian was safe and sound. They quickly moved to his side in a flash.

The man took a deep look at Yun Lintian and continued speaking. "It's strange that a descendant of the White Tiger God like you has appeared here... It seems that something big has happened in the outside world recently."

The man stayed in this place for over sixty thousand years, and he had little knowledge of what had occurred outside. That was why he believed Yun Lintian came from the White Tiger God Clan.

"What exactly are you?" Yun Lintian stared attentively at the man.

"Curious? Hehe." The man chuckled. "Never mind. All of you will die eventually. Let me enlighten you."

He paused for a moment and said. "This place is called the Star Graveyard."

"Star Graveyard?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly.

"Yes, a graveyard. You can also refer to it as a cursed land." The man said with a smile. "Whoever dies in this place will be resurrected and lived forever. And if they want to become stronger, they must consume the flesh and blood of living beings."

Yun Lintian and the others were shocked by the revelation.

"I came here in pursuit of my enemy over six thousand years ago. Just like all of you, I had no clue what this place was. It wasn't until I encountered other cursed people and met my demise at their hands." The man said further.

"Luckily, I activated my secret technique to escape just in the nick of time. They couldn't eat me because of that. And then I came back to life."

He looked at Yun Lintian and chuckled. "Surprised, right? I was the same back then."

"There's no way to leave here?" Yun Lintian asked.

"There is," The man responded without hiding anything. "Have you seen the tower over there? If anyone wants to leave this place, they must go there and undergo a trial. In the past, a total of four people successfully passed the trial and left this place."

"Four?" Jiang Shuren was stunned. She remembered that only three people managed to leave this place. Who was the fourth one?

The man didn't explain. He smiled at Yun Lintian and said. "You're quite interesting. I'm reluctant to eat you now. Perhaps we can become good friends. I will leave your body intact. How about it?"

"Since you know where the exit is, why don't you go?" Yun Lintian asked further.

"Do you think I don't want to?" The man snorted. "Cursed people like us will die instantly if we approach that tower."
