Dig 300 feet of ground to explore the secrets of the castle's origins.
Xiao Chen and the others could not break ground on the surface, but would directly transform into the depths of the ground.
The huge stones were stained with blood and were bright red. Deep in the bottom layer, there were many regular square stones scattered in the soil.
The viscous red liquid seems to never dry up. It is still alive and full of pungent smell of blood.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. At his level, he could clearly sense the residual divine power in his blood. This seemed to be the blood of an ancestor-god-level powerhouse.
He didn't say anything more, and sat cross-legged on the ground and started refining. Streams of blood-colored essence flew out continuously, converging towards the palm-sized demon city between his palms.
"Is this a slaughterhouse?" Sha Po Lang reached the seventh level of the Half-Ancestor, but he still felt a bit chilly deep in the ground because the Yin Qi here was extremely strong.
"Gather all the stones. These are the best materials." Little Stubborn Dragon said as he took action first and began to clean up the underground ruins.
There was not much divine power contained in the scarlet blood, and it was soon completely refined by Xiao Chen. Then he held the ancient city in the palm of his hand and began to use the mysterious method to collect all the huge stones into the palm of his hand.
In the magic city.
Those stones are all fragmented from the old castle, and they have mysterious power condensed on them. It is conservatively estimated that they are no worse than the stones in the Magic City.
The boulders continued to roll and were collected into the Demonic City and became part of its city. During this passage through the city, Xiao Chen always used his great magic power to help solidify the city.
This miniature ancient magic city is becoming more and more strange. The black light is shining and crystal clear like ink jade. It is like a perfect work of art, blooming in Xiao Chen's hands.
As for Xiao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his mind was completely immersed in the Demonic City. After so many years, after constant sacrifices, this sacred object, which was almost transformed into the Divine City of Kings, completely belonged to him.
Sometimes he hesitates, should he really take the path of the stone man? The increasingly powerful Demon City is now getting twice the result with half the effort for him.
However, considering that there were too many uncertainties on the path of the stone people, it was difficult for him to make a decision. You must know that those stone people need to silence one or two civilizations in the history before they can achieve results.
And those results are 99% tragic.
To take the path of the supreme god or the path of the stone man? This is the choice Xiao Chen will face now, because he has entered the ninth level of the realm of the ancestral gods, and it is time to make a choice.
"boom"
A loud noise was heard, and when Shapolang and Hydra were cleaning up the ruins, after removing a pile of rubble like a hill, several dilapidated buildings like dungeons appeared there.
"Tianlao, there are strong men imprisoned here!" Sha Polang shouted.
Xiao Chen got up and quickly walked over. Most of the dilapidated building that looked like a prison was buried underground, with only the closed stone windows exposed on the ground.
After observation, Xiao Chen was convinced that this was not a heavenly prison. The architectural pattern was like this. It looked very closed, like a dungeon.
Inside, there is a stone body sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, emitting some slight fluctuations of divine power.
This shattered castle was too mysterious. It would be of great significance to find a living creature, but Xiao Chen was quickly disappointed because he knew it was just a corpse.
When he rolled up the stone body with divine light, little bits of flying ashes filled the air. Most of the stone man's body, which had almost lost its life fluctuations, turned into smoke and dust. Except for one arm, the rest of the body was destroyed. The little bits of life fluctuations were normal.
It's from that arm.
"I thought there were living things." Hydra muttered.
They cleared out more than a dozen stone houses in succession and found two emaciated corpses, one of which was a skeletal body and the other was a physical corpse.
Like the first corpse, it turned into fly ash at the slightest touch, leaving only a bone elixir and a blood elixir, similar to Buddhist relics, which are the essence and cannot be erased by time.
Xiao Chen put it away.
The stone arms left behind by the first stone body will be the main material for him to build the divine city. If he takes the path of the stone man and wants to take the last step, there will be too many hardships. It is impossible for other worlds to watch.
Now, in addition to choosing a secret place, we also need to build an unbreakable royal city.
In this way, several people continued to clean up the ruins, while Xiao Chen concentrated on refining the Demon City. The stone man's arm has not faded away after the baptism of years. It can be said that after being smelted into the Demon City, it would be like the arm of the Stone Man King.
, it is obvious that the aura of this ancient city has become much stronger.
"boom"
With a loud noise, a large pile of boulders in the ruins was cleared, and several majestic palaces were revealed in front, which were the remaining parts of the ancient castle.
The palace here is the most solid place in the castle - the central giant palace.
Although only the central giant palace is left, people still feel a strong sense of oppression when they get closer. It seems that this is not a palace, but a majestic giant city!
Yes, it looks like an intact divine city standing in front of you.
What's a bit special is that the vast sea-like pressure can only be felt at close range. Stepping within three feet immediately makes people feel suffocated, as if someone has strangled their throats, making them breathless.
The dark door was tightly closed. It was made of an unknown material, like cold and hard metal, but also like a strange magic stone, exuding a gloomy and dangerous aura.
Sha Po Lang and Hydra faced great pressure and walked forward step by step, leaving clear footprints on the ground. They wanted to try to open the stone door, but the giant door did not move at all, just like the foundation of heaven and earth.
generally.
"Let me give it a try." Little Stubborn Dragon stepped forward and pushed the stone door hard. There was a "click" and the stone door trembled slightly, but it still did not open.
"Open it!" Little Stubborn Dragon shouted softly. He is a war dragon among the ancestral dragons. His brute force is unparalleled, and even the masters at the same level can't match it. His hands turned into dragon claws to forcefully shake the closed stone door.
"Clang"
With a loud noise, two huge stone doors suddenly opened.
"boom"
At the same time, a huge aura rushed out from inside. Sha Po Lang and Hydra were like dead leaves, swept out by the strong wind and fell heavily into the pile of rocks behind.
The little stubborn dragon also stepped backwards and took more than ten steps before he could steady his pace.
Even Xiao Chen who was behind was shocked. He knew deeply how powerful Little Stubborn Dragon was and how powerful the War Ancestor was in the Sixth Heaven. He had few opponents. The breath that rushed out after the stone door opened actually forced him back more than ten steps.
This is somewhat bizarre.
"That is……"
After seeing everything in the huge central palace clearly, Xiao Chen suddenly became nervous. He saw a tall stone man standing quietly in the center of the palace, and all the breath was coming from him.
Stoneman King!
Definitely the King of Stonemen!
No one expected that when they came to a small village in western Kyushu to search for the secret of the Sky Monument, they accidentally learned that the ancient castle had fallen here. When they went in to explore the ruins, they actually encountered a Stone Man King!
This is really shocking. There is such a peerless master hidden deep underground. It is very unexpected and surprising.
"It's unreasonable. I was hit seven times a day and I'm not as depressed as I am now..." Sha Po Lang's face has turned green. Doesn't this mean he will automatically come to the door to die?
Hydra was also extremely nervous and ready to fight.
But at this moment, Xiao Chen and Little Stubborn Dragon suddenly let out a sigh of relief, because they found that this Stone Man King was very abnormal and had no mental fluctuations.
After careful inspection, it was discovered that there was a hole in his Tianling Cap, which seemed to have been penetrated by a sharp weapon!
dead!
The stone body has powerful combat power, but the spiritual consciousness has long been destroyed, which is like a dead person.
"click"
At this moment, the stone man suddenly moved.
"No, this seems to be a puppet battle body!" Xiao Chen looked shocked. This was really a generous move. Using the Stone Man King as a puppet made people horrified.
"This..." Even the calm little stubborn dragon changed its color and refined the fossil king into a puppet. This was simply unimaginable.
What is the origin of the old castle? What kind of important place is this central palace that needs the guardianship of the Stoneman King?
"click"
The stone man was moving, and a lot of dust fell from his body, as if he hadn't moved for many years.
"This..." Xiao Chen's eyes glowed with divine light, and he said: "No one can enslave the Stoneman King. Someone must have collected the unparalleled Stoneman who died in the battle and used his body..."
"Yes, that should be the case." Little Stubborn Dragon agreed. This is a reasonable explanation, because the Stone Man King already represents the limit of individual strength.
Although the Stone Man King was moving, he did not leave the palace and seemed to be confined to that area.
"What is he guarding?"
The important place guarded by the Stoneman King's puppet must have a huge secret, which made Xiao Chen and the others want to go in and investigate.
After just a few steps, the Stone Man King puppet stopped moving again and stood quietly in the palace.
"Fortunately, he is just a puppet without any mental power, otherwise we might all be wiped out here." Sha Po Lang was still frightened, and stepped forward after making sure there was no danger, but he was under tremendous pressure.
Although the Stone Man King was as motionless as a fossil, the power contained within the powerful stone body was truly terrifying, and the aura emanating from it was incomparable.
"The castle and the sky monument fell to the ground at the same time. The real danger has been reduced to the lowest point. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to go in and explore."
Xiao Chen has a divine map, an ancient scroll, three sky marks, and a Pangu stone order on his body. After these artifacts are added, the eight-phase world unfolds and the traces can be completely hidden.
With a flash of light, he led the other three people into the second level palace silently, directly avoiding the puppet of the Stone Man King.
However, the moment they entered, the giant door of the first-level palace closed silently, and the stone man's empty eyes became darker and darker, and he blocked the doorway.
The second-level palace was very empty. On the only desk, Xiao Chen and the others found a picture of dragon skin. Little Stubborn Dragon immediately concluded that it was made of ancestral dragon skin.
When he saw this dragon skin that looked like a map, Xiao Chen was immediately shocked. He saw the Tongtian Death Bridge on it, and even the Huangni Terrace, but the words Zulong Terrace were marked on it. But obviously,
Tongtian Death Bridge and Zulong Platform are both small signs, incomparable to those eye-catching large signs.
"The divine map has the mark of the divine map on it." Sha Po Lang pointed at the eye-catching mark on one corner, showing a look of surprise.
"There is also the Ninety-nine Heavenly Palace." Little Stubborn Dragon also pointed to a place above, where the Ninety-nine Heavenly Palace was very dazzling.
"Look, there are nine ancient lamps." Hydra pointed to nine very eye-catching places.
Not far from Jiudeng, the markings on several celestial monuments are also very clear, with a total of seven sides.
"Hey, no, there seems to be an eighth side, looming, like an invisible body." Little Stubborn Dragon said in shock.
"No, it seems there is a ninth side." Xiao Chen's eyes also showed two bright lights.
