Eternal Sacred King

2637 Mountain Ridges of Corpses and Bones

The Martial Dao Prime Body controlled his body and stood in midair, looking around. At the same time, he released his spirit consciousness to check out the surroundings.

The surroundings were dark and sinister. There were no sun, moon or stars above his head and the rare few light sources came from various strange vegetation.

Some of the tall trees were pitch-black with lush leaves. However, most of the leaves were pitch-black.

Only a few leaves emitted a faint glow from time to time. In the dark environment, they flickered and looked rather terrifying!

In the darkness far away, a large shadow appeared motionlessly, as though many gigantic ancient beasts were hidden in the depths of the darkness.

It seemed particularly sinister in the quiet and dark environment!

On the ground not far away, there were fist-sized ghastly green flames that floated like ghost flames.

The Martial Dao Prime Body focused his gaze and narrowed his eyes instinctively.

Beneath the balls of ghost flames were scattered white bones with many slashes and bite marks—it was clear how tragic a combat battle had broken out here back then.

The Martial Dao Prime Body sensed it briefly.

Although there was also some Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the surroundings, it was clearly much thinner than the Heavenly World.

Of course, it was far superior to the Dragon Abyss Star.

However, there was a dark and sinister power mixed in the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that was different from the Heavenly World.

The Martial Dao Prime Body felt as though he had arrived in an unfamiliar world.

Not only was this world out of place with the environment of the Heavenly World, the atmosphere was even completely different from the entire upper world!

Looking around, even the vegetation here was unfamiliar and strange—the Martial Dao Prime Body had never seen it in the upper world before.

“Where am I?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly.

He sensed carefully and could tell that he had already lost connection with the Green Lotus True Body.

Under normal circumstances, he controlled the Hell Suppression Tripod. Even in Greater Avici, he could maintain a connection with the Green Lotus True Body.

After falling here, his connection with the outside world was severed completely.

The Martial Dao Prime Body circulated the power of the Grotto-heaven and punched casually.

The surrounding void trembled and a crack appeared, revealing a spatial tunnel within.

The Martial Dao Prime Body entered in a flash.

Before long, another void split open and the Martial Dao Prime Body walked out of the spatial tunnel, frowning.

Something was amiss.

Although he could tear through the void and teleport at any moment, he could not return to Greater Avici, let alone the Heavenly World.

It was as though there was an unshakable barrier between him and Greater Avici!

“How could this be?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered as he surveyed his surroundings.

He had just undergone spatial teleportation and had already arrived near the tall shadow he first saw.

Now that he was closer, he could see clearly that the majestic shadows hidden in the darkness were endless mountain peaks.

Initially, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not think too much about it. However, his gaze inadvertently swept past the nearest mountain peak and his pupils constricted!

Corpses were strewn all over the mountain peak and there were all sorts of living beings. Apart from humans, there were also other races!

How was this an ordinary mountain? It was a mountain of blood and corpses!

The Martial Dao Prime Body released his spirit consciousness and it extended outwards continuously.

Corpses were strewn everywhere in the endless mountain ridges and white bones were piled beneath!

In fact, some living beings had just died not long ago and their flesh had yet to rot.

The terrifying thing was that all the towering mountains and precipitous peaks within 5,000 kilometers of the Martial Dao Prime Body’s spirit consciousness were in such a tragic state.

This entire mountain ridge was filled with corpses and bones!

Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body could sense more than a hundred cultivators speeding towards him.

The group of cultivators were not surprised by the mountains of corpses and bones around them. It was as though they were already used to it and looked like they were locals.

“There’s some activity over there. Let’s go take a look. We’ve just taken down Weeping Soul Ridge. Let’s not let the other factions take advantage of it.”

“Sigh, the Nether Qi is depleted and resources are scarce. It’s getting harder and harder to cultivate.”

“I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to become a Hell General in my lifetime. I’ll have my own territory and lead millions of Hell Pawns with countless beauties by my side.”

“Hell General? Don’t count on it. We’ll be Hell Pawns for the rest of our lives. Fighting and killing is commonplace in the North Ridge, it’s already not bad if we can survive for a few more years.”

“Do you think you can live long even if you cultivate to become a Hell General? Even the previous Territorial Lord of Weeping Soul Ridge was killed by our Territorial Lord!”

When the Martial Dao Prime Body heard that, he frowned slightly.

Nether Qi?

Hell Pawns? Hell General?

Weeping Soul Ridge, North Ridge?

Weeping Soul Ridge and North Ridge should be names. However, what were the Nether Qi, Hell Pawns and Hell Generals that the cultivators were referring to?

Ever since he ascended to the upper world, the Martial Dao Prime Body had been cultivating in seclusion most of the time.

However, he had browsed through cultivation techniques and secret skills of the upper world. In Avici alone, countless legacies of the trichiliocosm were passed down.

There had never been any mention of Nether Qi, Hell Pawns or the likes in those inheritances.

In the senses of the Martial Dao Prime Body, the cultivation realms of the hundred-odd cultivators varied.

The weaker ones were Black Immortals while the stronger ones were Heaven Immortals. The leader should be a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal.

Furthermore, the Martial Dao Prime Body noticed that although the cultivators were in human form, there were slight differences.

The pupils of those cultivators were brown. Perhaps due to the lack of light source, their skin looked pale, lacking the color of blood.

The cultivators exuded a sinister and cold aura that was extremely similar to their surroundings.

The Martial Dao Prime Body had never seen such an aura in the upper world.

He knew nothing about this place and was about to find someone to ask.

At that thought, the Martial Dao Prime Body welcomed the group of them.

“Commander Cui, how many Nether Stones will the Territorial Lord split to us now that we’ve taken down Weeping Soul Ridge?” A cultivator in the crowd asked with a grin.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get your share.”

Commander Cui said indifferently.

“Boss, look! Someone’s over there!”

Right then, a few cultivators pointed to a purple-robed man who was flying over from afar and reminded.

“What’s his cultivation realm? Why can’t I detect him?”

“He’s even wearing a mask, how secretive.”

“Boss, why do I feel that this person exudes an aura of life and doesn’t seem like he’s from our North Ridge?”

“He looks like a fat sheep who might have quite a number of Nether Stones on him.”

A few cultivators discussed softly.

Commander Cui looked at the purple-robed man not far away and narrowed his eyes slightly, sending a voice transmission, “Wait for my instructions later. If he’s truly a living person, we’ll kill him first!”

“If there are truly Nether Stones, we’ll split them first!”

“Understood!”

The cultivators behind him replied hurriedly and licked their lips with excited eyes.
