Chapter 2289 The Power of the Overlord Sword (5/5)
Twilight of Nine Souls.
The duration is about seven hundred years. For a soul user, seven hundred years is not a short time, but for the history of Nine Souls, it is a blink of an eye, like a fleeting moment.
However, these seven hundred years have been an unsolved mystery in the history of Jiuhun.
No one knows the specific time period when the Nine Soul Twilight occurred, but according to existing historical records, during that period of history, there were countless great powers who fell. Most of them built their tombs in advance, and then
Place the magic weapon and put it in the inheritance, commit suicide, and sleep forever...
Why do they do this?
Is there a more terrifying existence that threatens the Nine Souls and forces them to commit suicide? If so, why do they go to so much trouble to build tombs and place magic weapons to pass on?
Bai Ye couldn't understand it at all.
And Xing Mie only knew so much.
Even the masters of some forces on the Nine Soul Continent who have inherited it for thousands or even nearly ten thousand years are unable to understand this period of history.
What exactly happened to Jiuhun that year?
As I was walking, suddenly, there was a squirming movement of demonic energy in front of me.
Xing Mi's face was horrified, and he hurriedly retreated like a frightened bird.
But the demonic energy seemed to be attracted by something. It slowly gathered and formed several ball-sized air masses. The air masses continued to expand, and after a while, they were as big as a small room.
Bai Ye was slightly startled.
Suddenly.
Bang!
The air mass exploded, and several huge shadow giants appeared!
"careful!"
Bai Ye shouted: "Everyone, stay back!!"
Yi Baixiu and others immediately retreated to the rear. They knew that they could not help Bai Ye in any way and might even become a burden to Bai Ye. Therefore, they would retreat as soon as possible if any situation arises.
The shadow giant opened its blood-red eyes, let out a harsh cry, and rushed over quickly. Its huge hand turned into a dark magic knife and slashed down at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye's eyes flashed, and his demonic energy burst out. He was not afraid of these shadow giants, he drew his sword and killed them.
roar!
The terrifying roar of the Death Dragon Sword once again shook the entire secret realm.
The shadow giants scrambled to be torn apart, and the offensive was broken. As the smoke filled the air, Bai Ye rushed over in a single step, opened his big mouth, and swallowed them all.
The surroundings returned to calm.
"Bai Ye, are you okay?"
Fu Qingqing shouted worriedly over there.
"I'm fine. If this were the devil's tomb, I would be able to restrain myself!" Bai Ye said with a smile.
The Nine-turn Immortal Body is already extremely powerful, because it is a technique created by demons, and the demons' soul skills will not pose much of a threat to it.
Seeing Bai Ye destroying the three demonic figures so easily, everyone became excited.
"As expected of the Dragon Lord, he is really powerful!" Xing Mi couldn't help but say something. Bai Ye's terror made him even more afraid to have any strange thoughts.
"Let's go!"
Bai Ye exhaled and moved on.
The footsteps of the people were extremely loud in the darkness. They looked around in the white night, listening in all directions, and took every step with extreme caution. In this secret realm created by great power, no one can guarantee whether there will be traps.
But at this moment, there was another strange movement ahead.
Everyone stopped and looked warily.
But look, a long tunnel appeared in the darkness ahead, and at the entrance of the tunnel, there was a dark figure blocking the door, with a pair of blood-red but indifferent demonic eyes staring at this side.
"There seems to be someone there!" Yi Baixiu said warily.
"Be careful." Bai Ye whispered, getting closer to the figure little by little, and placed his hand on the hilt of the Death Dragon Sword.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, a hoarse voice emerged from the black shadow.
Everyone's nerves jumped involuntarily.
"Who are you?" Bai Ye did not answer the figure's question, but asked instead.
"I am the owner of this tomb. Since you have found this place, don't you even know who I am?" The voice became deeper.
It is indeed a tomb.
Bai Ye was slightly happy and immediately said: "We discovered this place accidentally. We didn't know this was a tomb, let alone the burial place of our seniors. Please forgive me if I disturb you."
The figure was silent for a while before making a sound.
"Let me ask you...is the mainland still there?"
Is the mainland still there?
Bai Ye and others were confused by this question.
What does this mean?
"The mainland has always been there." Fu Wuqing couldn't help but say.
"What did the senior mean?" Bai Ye asked.
The figure remained silent for a moment, then asked: "Which continent are you from?"
"Qing Ge."
"Qing Ge?"
The figure seemed to be thinking.
No one knew what the figure was asking, but after a while, the figure gradually dimmed, and just as it was about to disappear, the voice emerged again.
"Come in."
Then it disappeared completely.
The few people behind were very nervous.
People are most afraid of unknown things, no matter how strong you are.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Bai Ye, you can't go, let's go back immediately!" Shen Hong shouted hurriedly.
"If this place is really a murder tomb, even the upper emperors may not be able to deal with the mechanisms inside it. You should consider it carefully. Although there are many opportunities in the Nine Souls Continent, many people take advantage of the opportunities to move to higher places, but there are also
Many people have also died on the way to obtain opportunities. All treasures are accompanied by risks! Don't be greedy." Yi Baixiu couldn't help but speak.
She knew that Bai Ye couldn't even see through the specific aura of that figure, otherwise she wouldn't have talked to him.
And Bai Ye is so powerful, but he is also passive at every turn, which is enough to show how terrifying this tomb is.
The white night was silent.
No one spoke for a long time, and the entire killing tomb seemed extremely silent.
Xing Mie was ready to make a move, he seemed a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to say anything.
I don’t know how long it took before Bai Ye opened her eyes.
"I have to go in."
"Bai Ye..." Shen Hong called urgently.
Fu Qingqing and Yi Baixiu also expressed worries.
"Bai Xiu is right. Opportunities are accompanied by risks. Since I have stumbled upon this opportunity, why not give it a try? The road to soul cultivation is inherently difficult and dangerous. If I shrink back, I will never be able to do it.
Make some progress!" Bai Ye seemed determined.
But having said that, he actually knows in his heart that the situation in Jiuhun cannot allow him to continue like this. He must improve his strength as soon as possible to face the coming storm and the trip to the Holy State.
"Bai Xiu, Senior Sister Shen, Wuqing, you guys wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
"But..." Shen Hong wanted to say something else, but Fu Wuqing took over: "You have to be careful about everything."
Shen Hong glanced at her and finally gave up persuading her.
"I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Bai Ye nodded, grabbed Xing Mie with his palm, and pulled him towards the tunnel door.
It was impossible for him to keep Xing Mi behind. After all, Xing Mi's heavenly soul was still alive, so it would be too easy to deal with Yi Baixiu and others.
After entering the tunnel, there was a long corridor. Bai Ye pushed Xing Mie forward to explore the way.
Xing Mi knew that he had no initiative, so he could only cautiously test things out from the front.
However, what shocked Bai Ye was that there was no mechanism at all in the entire long tunnel.
Did the owner of this tomb deliberately not set up a trap? Then not everyone can enter?
The two of them had an unobstructed journey and arrived at the end of the tunnel.
Xing Mi took a deep breath and carefully pushed open the stone door at the end.
Rumble....
The dull sound seemed to spread throughout the entire killing tomb.
The stone door is wide open and dust is flying!
What caught their eyes was an extremely huge palace!
Xing Mie was stunned.
Bai Ye also looked at the palace blankly.
The palace is extremely vast, reaching the top and boundless, and in the center is a triangular golden staircase built with tens of thousands of steps!
There is a dark coffin placed at the top of the stairs. Lying inside the coffin must be the owner of the murder tomb.
Bai Ye and Xing Mie walked in carefully, only to find that there were dark iron chains hanging from the top, and under their feet were terrifying reliefs.
These reliefs are particularly impressive. There are reliefs of evil ghosts and reliefs of ferocious beasts. They are so dazzling that they cover the entire ground.
"come over!"
At this time, there was a sound in the coffin.
Both of them were shocked. They looked at the huge golden steps, took a deep breath, and approached carefully.
"The great power must have chosen us and given us the inheritance!" Xing Mie was very excited and said in a low voice.
Bai Ye was silent, but kept alert.
When the two of them approached the golden steps, they discovered that there were a large number of pottery figurines placed at the bottom of the steps. These pottery figurines were all the same as human beings, including men and women, old and young, and dressed in different costumes. Some were wearing armor.
Some are holding spears, some are wearing bamboo hats and holding long swords, some are like mountains, mighty and domineering, and some are nimble and graceful, like fairies.
"These are all the powerful men I have killed in my life. Each of them is a powerful man with a reputation all over the world. Before I died, I melted their appearance using the art of concrete and buried them with me!" the voice said!
Get up again.
When Bai Ye heard the sound, he immediately became enlightened.
Perhaps this is a manifestation of achievement.
"Why did senior want us to come here? Also... who is senior?" Bai Ye took a deep breath and asked loudly.
"who I am?"
The voice in the coffin was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a sad and arrogant laugh.
"Hahahahaha....who am I?"
"I don't know who I am? Who should I be? The memory of this ray of thought is so incomplete that I can't find the person I used to be. I'm already dead!"
"But how did I die? I committed suicide! I was a person who didn't want to die but had to die! I could have lived well, but for the so-called righteousness, I had to die..."
"I regret it. No one on this continent remembers me. Some descendants found my burial place, but they don't even know who I am... I regret it so much! I shouldn't have died! I
So regretful!!”
The sound waves roared and exploded like thunder. The shock caused Xing Mi to vomit blood and retreat repeatedly. Even Bai Ye was affected.
Is the remaining thought after the other party's death so powerful?
Then what state was he in during his lifetime?
Bai Ye didn't dare to think about it.
After a while, the roar in the coffin disappeared.
He seemed to have regained his composure, but said nothing else.
"Who I am is not important anymore. Now...I want to hand over my inheritance to you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, both Xing Mie and Bai Ye were stunned.
The inheritance of this tomb...is it so easy to get?
