Chapter 1649: Chapter 999: A New Mysterious Race_2

The only difference was that those mountain peaks were piled with countless corpses.

Layer upon layer of skeletons formed continuous mountain ranges, an appalling sight. Some of the skeletal remains had already turned into stark white bones, reflecting a ghastly light under the cold glow; while others still retained their flesh and blood.

And the races were varied...

There were demon generals with blue faces and sharp teeth, celestials with six wings on their backs, and dragon bones a thousand feet long...

Pick any one at random, and in life, they were terrifying beings sitting in power over a region. Yet now, they were lifeless, dead for an unknown number of years.

Their surprise was not in these corpses’ past formidable nature, but in how horrific their lives must have been. None could have been more powerful than any one present.

What puzzled everyone was, why was this abyss full of bodies?!

Moreover, from observation, many of these corpses appeared to have been intentionally cast into this abyss.

Above this mountain-like mass of corpses, tendrils of black mist swirled around.

Like pitch-black poisonous snakes, they slithered and darted among the corpses, linking all the flesh and blood together.

The strange sounds heard earlier emanated from these corpses of mountains.

No sooner had they recovered from their shock, the black mist inexplicably burrowed into the corpses.

"Boom!"

As the mist penetrated into the remains.

The corpse mountains suddenly began to writhe.

Countless bodies, as if manipulated by invisible strings, struggled to rise, suspended in mid-air.

Under a blood-red sky, the wails of millions of wraiths condensed into substantial black mist.

Ancient piled bones began to squirm, their bony fingers piercing through decayed flesh, fractured spines entwined like living serpents. Amidst the acid-inducing sound of bones scraping against flesh, they collapsed and recombined, finally coalescing into an aberration of ten thousand zhang in size.

Its chest cavity was embedded with three hundred still-beating hearts of Immortal Kings, each heart pulsating with distorted scripture, echoing with red symbols on the surrounding stone walls.

The giant corpse was bloated beyond measure, its stench of rotting flesh overwhelming, its aura bizarre beyond belief. So much so that even the Supreme Immortal King witnessing this would instantly plunge into madness, into catastrophe, and even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor would have to temporarily retreat.

"Overestimating yourself, no—like a mayfly shaking a tree!"

The Ten Crown King stood in the void, his expression stern, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation.

He raised his hand and swung it, and suddenly a colossal hand gathered in the sky, shrouding the sun, as if it could crush the stars with a single strike. That massive hand, carrying the incomparable power of an Immortal Emperor, directly suppressed the giant of flesh and bone.

Between the fingers, the Great Taoist whistled, transforming into a hundred thousand chains, like giant pythons, slaughtering towards the giant of flesh and bone.

Before the giant hand had descended, the terrifying pressure had already shattered the surrounding space, with countless cracks spreading like a spider’s web.

The giant of flesh and bone let out a ghastly howl, attempting resistance, but against that absolute power, its struggle seemed so pale and powerless.

It was unclear what method the Bizarre Clan used to cultivate it to a level comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but in the face of a true road-end level existence, it was still vulnerable, like an ant.

"Swoosh..."

Hundred thousand Divine Order Chains, like needles piercing tofu, directly penetrated the giant of flesh and bone.

With a loud crash, the opponent’s divine might had yet to manifest when its massive body began to disintegrate, its rotting flesh and bones crushed into dust under the power of the Immortal Emperor.

However, the few look not relieved.

Though the giant of flesh and bone was not strong enough to pose a threat to them, it was because their solid power was there, either as Quasi-Immortal Emperors or Immortal Emperors.

Another joint action.

Such power would be enough to shake the Ten Thousand Realms.

The reason their expressions didn’t reveal much relief.

Was because this giant of flesh and bone was not the kind of bizarre creature they had encountered multiple times before.

In a certain sense, it seemed more like something being created, yet to be entirely successful, a new race.

But this made it even more astonishing.

Even though unsuccessful, it was already comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s existence.

If successful, wouldn’t it mean the creation of another road-end level bizarre life form?

Simply breaking the common norm of their understanding.

Moreover, to forge this Quasi-Immortal Emperor Level bizarre life form, so many lives were already sacrificed, what if it reaches the ultimate step, will the lives of these heavens be enough?

"No wonder Senior Jiang actively suggested that we come here. In times unknown to us, certain unknowable changes have already occurred here."

The trio’s expressions were gravest.

They have battled upon the Heaven for unknown millions of years, although not having been everywhere, generally such anomaly would not escape their perception.

Evidently, these corpse mountains only emerged while they were in secluded cultivation in Liu Village.

This requires greater caution.

Shi Hao, Gu Chen, and others were surprised at these words. They originally thought Ye Fan and others would know at least something, seemingly the three knew nothing at all.

"What exactly is the Bizarre Clan attempting to do?"

Several frowned.

The useful information they possessed was indeed too little, piecing together viable clues from such scattered evidence was no easy task.

Even if they were all extraordinary, the Bizarre Clan was not an ordinary enemy either.

But undoubtedly, Senior Jiang must have sensed something, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent them here.

They continued deeper, each step spanning billions of light-years.

But no matter how they proceeded, they saw no end, a vast and ancient profundity not possessed by other realm domains.

In their eyesight, all was ruin, an expanse of desolation.

The embers intertwined, beneath the sky, floating ash scattered everywhere.

The once countless Cave Heaven Places, now razed to the ground, left only massive pits, as if the lands bore ferocious wounds.

As for those once revered Immortal Mountains, now only remnants of ruined walls, shattered jade scattered everywhere.

In the distance, there was once an extraordinarily glorious Immortal Mountain.

Now its summit had disappeared, half of its body tilted, precarious and tottering.

The celestial palaces and pavilions above the mountain cliffs had long since collapsed, the exquisite carvings and murals destroyed beyond recognition.

They pressed forward, seeing another Spirit Valley, vast beyond imagination.

Even though destroyed, one could still feel the rich spiritual substance hitting one’s face.

It could be imagined, at the peak of this Spirit Valley, what exaggeration it was.

Perhaps even on the entire Heaven, it was considered a notable Sacred Land.

Here there once were immortal plants growing abundantly, spiritual energy pervading, but now only scorched earth remained.

The ground cracked, fissures deep without seeing the bottom, oozing some viscous black substance.

The immortal plants that once extended life and vitality, now all turned to ashes, occasionally visible charred roots and stems.

In a heap of ruins, Shi Hao found numerous fallen steles.

Ancient characters were engraved on the steles, however, now the steles had fractured, the inscriptions were long indiscernible.

Besides that, they also saw a Spirit Sea.

It too had dried up, the riverbed filled with enormous stones and skeletal remains.

The varying shaped skeletons looked as if telling of the dreadful calamity once occurring here.

Along the way, such scenes were countless. Each ruin, each patch of scorched earth, like a heavy hammer, relentlessly striking their hearts.

They didn’t know how long they traversed, nor how far they had gone, even beginning to feel somewhat numb.

"Fellow Daoists, when you arrived here, was it already like this?" Gu Chen casually picked up a bone.

It was a skull, not much different in size from a normal human, but possessing a glazed texture and color, yet filled with cracks. Had it not retained any divine substance, it might have long shattered to pieces.

The skull of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, how hard is it? And yet it ended up in such a state.

"Even more miserable, but we haven’t been here, so it’s uncertain." Ye Fan answered.

Compared to Emperor Huang Tian and others, they came from future times, the scenes they saw were also future images, but presently, what they experienced were all past times.

Willow God’s expression was extremely solemn, wordless.

In the past, the source of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths’ fragmentation was the Bizarre Clan.

And during the Immortal Domain battle, had Jiang Hui not stood up, perhaps the Immortal Domain would have been lost as well.

"Signs of life."

Continuing deeper, countless peaks receded, finally some change in their perception, signs of life appearing.

It was a vast forest.

Creatures were fleeing frantically...
