Zhuo Wen stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the surface of the tombstone. He felt a bone-chilling coldness coming from his palm, which made Zhuo Wen's whole body and even the depths of his soul feel chilly.
"Law of Death?"
Zhuo Wen murmured in a low voice, with a hint of awe in his eyes. The law of death is definitely a terrifying law.
In this world, no one is immortal.
Even if a saint lives as long as heaven and earth, and his life span is long, if heaven and earth collapse, the saint will also die.
As long as a living creature is alive, it will eventually die. It is an inevitable process.
"Becoming a member of this kingdom of death is not a bad thing, but I want to be the king of all of you. As long as you surrender under my feet, I will integrate into you and become a member of the kingdom of death."
Zhuo Wen jumped up and stood on the top of the tombstone, overlooking the bone mountain. The densely packed and countless skeletons, the loud voice resounded, reverberating like thunder.
quiet!
At this moment, the entire burial ground fell into silence. All the surging skeletons stopped moving and looked at the young man standing on the tombstone.
"If you want to be our king, the king of death, then you have to die once. How dare you?"
A vicissitudes of life figure slowly walked from the foot of Bone Mountain. This figure was also a skeleton, but this skeleton was golden. His body was stooped, like the skeleton of an old man. Although he walked staggeringly, he was extremely firm.
The moment the golden skeleton approached, those brave skeletons who were not afraid of death all lowered their heads and immediately retreated to the side to make way for a path that led to the top of the mountain.
The golden skeleton walked slowly, step by step, until it reached the palace of ice and fire.
The golden skull was raised, and there was a pair of golden flames in the empty eyes. He stared at Zhuo Wen, opening and closing his upper and lower jaws, as if smiling, and said: "Young man, why don't you invite me to the top of the mountain?"
Zhuo Wen's eyes slowly narrowed. The aura on this golden skeleton was so vast that it actually gave Zhuo Wen a sense of crisis.
"They are the bones of the Holy Body. There is actually a Holy Body that died in this second restricted area?" The mountain god murmured in a low voice, his voice a little surprised.
"Is it the Holy Body? But the aura on this golden skeleton seems to be vaster than that of Leng Xing and Hao Zhi!" Zhuo Wen said doubtfully.
"It is the Dacheng Holy Body. Generally speaking, those who can become the Dacheng Holy Body will basically become mountain gods. He will not be..."
The mountain god seemed to have thought of something, and his voice suddenly stopped.
"Who is he?" Zhuo Wen asked.
"Haha, it turns out to be Liao Si. This should be a ray of your soul. I haven't seen you for a hundred years. It seems that you have become the new mountain god of the 18th Mountain. You are worthy of being the junior I was optimistic about."
The golden skeleton's eyes suddenly fell on Zhuo Wen's clothes, and his faint voice continued to echo like an echo.
"He was the former 18th Mountain God Raus. He once guided me in practicing the Holy Body and was considered half of my mentor. However, he made a desperate move a hundred years ago and entered the 19th Mountain to find an opportunity. So far, there has been no news. Unexpectedly,
He actually broke into the second restricted area, and only one skeleton was left."
Liao Si said, shaking his head, with a rather sad look in his eyes.
"The previous 18th Mountain God?" Zhuo Wen said strangely.
"Yes, Liao Si is right. I am the former 18th Mountain God Raos. Unfortunately, I broke through the first restricted area and entered the second restricted area. In the end, I died here. The laws of this restricted area,
People in the upper world cannot touch it at all, and you will die if you touch it." Rouse sighed lightly.
"What? Senior Rouse, do you mean to say that we as cultivators in the upper world will never be able to successfully understand the law?"
Liao Si's eyes were horrified. In fact, he had already felt something when he was in the first restricted area. He followed Zhuo Wen and Long Xiaotian to understand the Law of Desolation, but in the end he found nothing and was even confused.
This is also the reason why Liao Si plans to follow Zhuo Wen into the second penalty area.
He subconsciously believed that the law of desolation in the first restricted area might not be suitable for him, and perhaps he could understand the laws of the second restricted area, but now Rouse's words revealed the truth.
Liao Si looked at the skeleton-turned-Rous with complicated eyes. He knew that the latter's initial mentality was similar to his before. He worked hard to break into the first restricted area, but found that he could not understand the Law of Desolation.
So I went deep into the Second Forbidden Zone with a sense of luck, imagining that I might be able to successfully understand the laws of the Second Forbidden Zone, but in the end, I died here and became a member of the Boneyard.
"But I'm very curious about how this quasi-holy boy broke into the second restricted area. It's really a miracle." Rouse looked at Zhuo Wen in surprise.
"Senior Rouse, this son is the 72nd inheritor of Canglong Temple. He has obtained the law of desolation in the first forbidden area. This time he is here to obtain the law of death in the second forbidden area." Liao Si said with some awe.
After all, Routh was half of his mentor. Even though he was now reduced to a skeleton and his strength was greatly reduced, he still respected the former.
"Inheriter?"
Rouse's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be the inheritor. Since the first inheritor, no outside inheritor has ever successfully broken into the second restricted area. You are the second inheritor."
One, maybe you can really master this law of death."
"What's your name?" Rouse asked.
"My name is Zhuo Wen!" Zhuo Wen replied.
"Zhuowen, if you can master the Law of Death, then you will be the benefactor of this land of bones. These bones are all living beings who died under the power of the Law of Death, and because of the Law of Death, the soul cannot be reincarnated and can only live forever.
Existing here is simply a torment.”
"But if you can master the law of death, you can lift the curse of death and transcend all the dead here."
As Rouse spoke, he suddenly bowed and said extremely humbly: "Zhuowen, I hope you can help us. We are just victims of the death tombstone."
"Help us!"
"..."
In the bone burial ground, countless skeletons were kneeling on the ground, their voices filled with reverence.
They have been trapped in the burial ground for too long. They want to be freed. They never want to feel the feeling that life is worse than death.
"I came here this time for the Law of Death. I will do it even if you don't tell me."
Zhuo Wen took back the Ice and Fire Palace with a move of his right hand. He did not feel any hostility from Rouse, and coupled with the identity of the latter's former 18th Mountain God, he let down his guard.
Rouse walked slowly to Zhuo Wen and said gratefully: "Zhuo Wen, thank you very much this time. No matter you succeed or fail, we are all very grateful to you."
"Senior Rouse, you have been exposed to this law of death before. If I want to understand this law, I don't know what I need to do?"
This Law of Death is very strange. Zhuo Wen can only feel the death energy around him, but he does not feel the power of the Law of Death at all.
"The power of the law is in the death tombstone. If you want to feel it, you can only touch the death mark with your hands."
"I came into contact with the mark of death at the beginning, and then directly degenerated into the appearance of the undead now."
Rouse's voice was a little bitter as he continued: "Although you are the inheritor, you must be careful when coming into contact with the mark of death. The law of death has the ability to summon the dead to become undead, and it also has the power to make living people lose their vitality and fall to death.
"
"I see, then let me try!"
Zhuo Wen pondered for a moment, then walked to the death tombstone, stretched out his right hand, and landed on the mark of death in the center of the tombstone.
"This power?"
Zhuo Wen's pupils shrank, and he clearly felt that a strong death enveloped his whole body and penetrated deep into his soul. Then his eyes went dark, and he was unaware of what was going on.
At this moment, on the top of Bone Mountain, Zhuo Wen still maintained the posture of touching the mark of death with his right hand, his eyes were closed tightly, motionless.
"Zhuowen, what's wrong with him?"
On the lapel of his clothes, the mountain god was startled and looked at the golden skeleton with doubtful eyes.
"Liao Si, don't worry. Now Zhuo Wen should be trapped in the death tombstone space, where there is the real law of death. When I first entered, I was repelled by the law of death inside."
"This Law of Death is definitely much more terrifying than the Law of Desolation in the First Forbidden Zone. With the tenacity of my Holy Body in the First Forbidden Zone, the Law of Desolation couldn't do anything to me, but this Law of Death directly made me become this...
The souls of the dead who are not ghosts.”
The golden skeleton's eyes flickered, and his expression was full of loneliness. It was obvious that he was brooding over the fact that he had died under the law of death.
"I hope Zhuo Wen can truly master the law of death. If he fails, he will eventually become a member of this burial ground." Rouse sighed.
"I hope so!" Liao Si huddled in Zhuo Wen's lapel and said worriedly.
…
Zhuo Wen slowly opened his eyes, and then he discovered that he was in a dark space, and above this dark space, there was a huge skull suspended.
The skull hung high in the sky, emitting a glittering brilliance, bringing a little bit of light to this dark space.
"Here is...what's wrong with me?"
Suddenly, Zhuo Wen suddenly discovered that his hands and feet were actually white bones, with all the original flesh gone. There was also a crunching sound during the swing.
"Am I turning into a skeleton?" Zhuo Wen said to himself in horror.
However, he soon calmed down. He looked around and found that there was nothing but darkness around him.
"Is there a bridge there?"
Suddenly, Zhuo Wen's eyes stopped in the northeast, where there was a long bridge with a stream under it.
"Go over and have a look!"
Zhuo Wen quickly walked towards the long bridge, but he found that after turning into a skeleton, his movements seemed extremely stiff and his steps became very slow.
It took about two hours to arrive at Long Bridge.
"The bridge of life and death, life and death, you have to choose life or death!"
Above the long bridge, a line of subtitles appeared, and Zhuo Wen murmured it in a low voice.
