Chapter 1318: Chapter 1338: Black Holy Grail, Origin of the Cemetery_1

"There’s something ahead."

Lin Chen’s spirit was invigorated. Was he about to unravel the truth of the Eternal Cemetery, one of the Six Desolate Lands, today?

After flying dozens of miles, Lin Chen slowed down his pace.

He could feel it too.

A strong surge of killing aura, like a bone-chillingly cold wind, made one’s body tremble as if being in an icy cavern.

The dark fog here was incredibly dense. If not for Xi Jie’s guidance, Lin Chen, though his strength was comparable to a Half Immortal, would be as blind as a bat. He couldn’t see anything.

As he continued to move forward, the killing aura became even stronger.

Lin Chen’s heartbeat quickened as he neared, and his body was cold all over, as though millions of ants were crawling on him, giving him an instinctive urge to turn around and run.

"Xi Jie, what is this? The killing aura is so strong that I can barely withstand it..."

"Let’s move a little closer to see."

Suddenly, the Ghost Tower began to emit a golden light. Though the scope of the light was small, covering a range of just two to three meters, it perfectly encapsulated Lin Chen within.

The bone-chilling sensation and heat palpitations on Lin Chen’s body instantly diminished, and his previously cold body became warm. It was as though the Ghost Tower was a beacon in the icy, snowy land.

Driving away the darkness, driving away the cold.

Protected by the Ghost Tower’s light, Lin Chen continued to advance and eventually arrived at the center of where all the killing aura originated.

In front of Lin Chen was a precipice. The dense killing aura and the rolling dark fog rose to the sky from below the precipice.

Following the deep valley downwards, Lin Chen descended about four to five hundred meters before arriving at the bottom.

The golden light expanded once more, and Lin Chen’s field of vision widened along with it.

After searching for a bit, he finally found the source of the killing aura and the dark fog.

A pitch-black cup.

This cup seemed to be made of a unique kind of black metal. It’s unknown how long it had been lying here, but it was still spotless, emitting a metallic shine that made it look rather attractive.

The surface of the cup was engraved with various lines that were all flashing with white radiance.

The rim of the cup had a fairly large gap, as though something had brutally smashed a corner of it. Large amounts of black smoke continued to pour out from the broken part of the cup.

"Xi Jie, is this a magical treasure? A mere cup can create a Dead End area?"

"Let me take a look."

The Black Holy Grail on the ground floated up and moved towards the Ghost Tower.

The Ghost Tower didn’t rush to "devour" it. Despite being severely damaged, it could still constantly produce black fog, continuously expanding the size of the Eternal Cemetery. This Holy Grail-like treasure clearly had significant origins.

Xi Jie inspected it for a while and confirmed that it is a dead object, unlike the Ghost Tower which possesses an Artifact Spirit, before storing it inside the tower.

As the damaged black Holy Grail was taken away, the intensely intense killing aura suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his body instantly relaxed.

The dense black fog, which had remained immobile, suddenly churned, was light and fluttering as though it had abruptly lightened.

Lin Chen gazed at the churning black fog, and with astonishment, he said, "As soon as the cup was taken away, the black fog of the Eternal Cemetery could be dispelled?"

"We’ll know once we give it a try."

Xi Jie shot into the sky and then hung in mid-air.

Suddenly there was a wind where the air had earlier been utterly shrouded by the black fog.

The wind grew stronger and wilder. The only sound between Heaven and Earth was the howling of the gale.

The gale swept up countless strands of black fog, agitated and dispersed them, sweeping them to the distant horizon.

The black fog between Heaven and Earth grew less and lighter. Finally, when he looked upwards, he could vaguely see the daylight.

Amid the howling gale, there was a great commotion in the black fog of the Eternal Cemetery.

One by one, the colossal, battered bodies of giant beasts appeared in the black fog, letting out low growls, panicking and running around, revealing an indescribable terror.

Lin Chen hovered in mid-air, watching the first ray of sunshine falling from the cloud layer.

Such a dangerous Dead End area was caused by a tattered black cup.

What’s more, this black cup was casually lying at the bottom of the deep valley, without any formations or protection.

Upon further thought, with so many powerful giant living corpses, apart from immortals, who else could break through their defense and accurately find the source of the black fog?

The truth seemed simple, but breaking free was difficult.

"The Eternal Cemetery, it’s going to be gone."

Xi Jie said in a clear voice: "Let’s go. See if there are any other formidable living corpses, so I can catch a few more."

Lin Chen flew towards the area where the colossal beasts were active, at the same time, he asked, "Even you don’t know the origins of this cup?"

Xi Jie laughed and said: "The Immortal Realm is boundless, and there are countless magical treasures. Who dares to claim that they know all the treasures in the world? However, this seems to be a soul-based artifact. Even in its broken state, it has such power. It must have had greater power before it was broken..."

Lin Chen suddenly thought of the Mist Island in the Sea of Oblivion and said, "There is an island in the Sea of Oblivion that is also shrouded in mist, with similar giant beasts living there. But the fog there is grey, and the beasts are alive. Do you think they are connected in some way?"
