Chapter 1800 - Secret of Origin

The Origin Ancient Artifact had a truly terrifying ability. At the peak of its glory, it had previously created Burial Kings!

Was this something that made undead knights? Shi Hao definitely wouldn’t forget what he clearly saw back then, he even almost died in that abyss’ palace.

Now, there was a similar object that released nine-colored brilliance, flowing with hazy imperishable light, swirling with chaotic energy.

Darkness matter surged, possessing astonishing activity. All of the corpses were granted life, allowing them to stand back up, moreover gradually become more powerful!

“What is that? Is it an unmatched supreme treasure?!”

Everyone was shaken. Was it one of the most powerful magical artifacts? It could actually create this type of scene, making everyone's souls tremble. They all found this inconceivable.

Now that Immortal Domain sent out troops, there was naturally no lack of extremely powerful individuals among them. However, these people were also stupefied. Even though they sensed that something was strange, they never expected to see this type of mysterious ancient artifact.

“What is that? Does the commander know?” Someone asked quietly.

“I am not sure, it is too sinister. This thing has revived all of the corpses, even more mysterious than the artifacts of immortal kings. It is unimaginably powerful!”

Those on Immortal Domain’s side looked like they were facing a great enemy, building an even longer line of defense along the mountain range. Great banners fluttered about, formation cores everywhere, forming a dark expanse, continuously piling up.

“What exactly are the darkness creatures, what kind of backgrounds do they have?” Some people began to surmise and make predictions.

At this time, and elder from Immortal Domain walked over. His age was great, even though he was nurtured every day by immortal energy and had taken all types of divine pills and wondrous medicines, one could still see that his blood energy was insufficient.

It was because there was only a layer of golden skin left around his entire body, wrapped around his bones. If one didn’t look carefully, one might even mistaken him for a skeleton.

“Black calamity, it has happened before. That time, it was extremely cruel, but it was ultimately quelled, a battle my mysterious ancestor had experienced. As for even further back, as for whether or not it has happened, I do not know. That is a secret classified at an even higher level.” The elder said.

Everyone stared blankly. This type of cruel disaster should have been carefully explained and passed down to later generations so they could be on guard, why did it end up becoming treated as a taboo level secret?

“I previously heard that this is something that touches upon the very foundation, for example, how did the other side appear, all of this might be related!” A commander said.

“Shut your mouth!” It was clear that this elder’s status was exceptional. He berated the commander, not letting him speak too much. There were some things that were classified as top level secrets that couldn’t be leaked out, there were naturally considerations and reasonings made by the higher levels.

The precious mirror was put away. The ancient artifact in the darkness disappeared, nothing visible any longer. One could only see that at the outer areas of the black sea, there were mountains and seas of creatures approaching.

This was a rapid rate of expansion. The region Immortal Domain set aside, after not much time had passed, was already eaten away, all of it becoming regions of darkness.

Newly evolved leaders and kings roared out within, glaring at the line of defense ahead.

Hong!

There was a creature who took action, a Nine-Headed Snake Dragon. Every single one of its heads was releasing black flames. It was massive, like a great peak, its offensive power astonishing.

“It was actually fast to this level, just how many days passed? However, the darkness beast kings already have such a powerful member!”

On the dragon vein side, everyone was shocked.

Killing the Nine-Headed Snake Dragon wasn’t difficult, but these types of beast kings weren’t few in number. There were many in every region, so how many of them were there within more than seven hundred provinces of darkness?

The most terrifying thing was this type of evolutionary speed!

Not much time had passed at all… it was only two weeks or so, yet they were already almost at the self release level. It really was horrifying, even shaking up one’s soul.

Many people felt that this was absurd. Why did cultivators cultivate? It was to defy the heavens, undergoing all types of tribulations and bitterness before finally becoming strong.

Then what about these creatures of darkness? In just a short amount of time, they already accumulated more than ordinary cultivators did their entire lives!

Many people were unwilling, feeling a sense of defeat, even more so a bit discouraged.

“There is no need to feel discouraged. The reason why these creatures are strong is because they have continuously devoured each other. They look like a single creature, but they are actually a mass of a sea of beings.” Immortal Domain’s commander said.

According to what he said, the creatures of a provinces might ultimately be devoured by a single creature, all of the vital energy merging together, becoming the most powerful being.

Meanwhile, there was danger behind this as well. From a certain perspective, it might mean that strength would be acquired from a single feast.

“Once they develop true consciousness, the ability to strengthen through devouring will disappear, they will become normal creatures.” Immortal Domain’s elder said with a sigh.

However, this still made others sigh, shake in fear. This way of creating experts, just how terrifying was it?

“It can only create low level soldiers, the truly strong cannot be made unless there are some special bloodlines, or lucky evolutions.” Immortal Domain’s elder added, having everyone calm down.

Shi Hao didn’t approach this place, instead, he was in another province. He was exploring, staying far away from Immortal Domain’s experts, because he knew that those people’s senses were sharp.

Needless to say, there were definitely true immortals among them!

However, he could also learn some things he wanted to know through the news that were transmitted out.

Hou!

A world-shaking great roar sounded. In the darkness, there was a creature that rose in rank. This was an elder whose hair was disheveled, entire body covered in blood, body releasing golden light.

“Vajra Gate’s old sect master, he has continuously devoured beast kings and other creatures, becoming a cultivator at the peak of Self Release Realm. Is he going to defy the heavens?”

Many people were stunned.

They personally saw this scene. It was because that old sect master’s pupils shed cold tears, as if they were two silver-colored lamps, releasing a faint glow. His consciousness was becoming more and more clear.

“Something isn’t right, look, that mysterious chest flew over, stopping briefly over his head. Is this to grant him some type of benefit?” Someone cried out in alarm.

In the darkness, even the mist was scattered. The mysterious chest that released nine-colored brilliance flew over, rising and falling there, making Vajra Gate’s sect master tremble.

“Is this to create a leading figure, have him become a supreme being level servant as soon as possible?” Someone said with a frown.

Immortal Domain’s shriveled elder also revealed a serious expression. This type of chosen creature might produce a special bloodline, able to continue evolving, become a threat.

“Is this being operated by some true darkness creature behind the scenes? Or is it to say that this was the chest’s own choice?” He said quietly to himself.

Then, he gave Vajra Gate’s sect master a look, quietly ordering Immortal Domain’s cultivators, “Get rid of him!”

“It is rumored that unknown in which era it was, Shutuo unexpectedly appeared just like this. Was this how he rose in strength?” A commander near the elder said this quietly.

Those nearby vaguely heard this. They all widened their eyes in shock, making sure they didn’t hear wrong.

“What?!”

“There was actually this type of secret?!”

“Heavens, the source of the other side is related to these things? It was this complicated?” Those people were horrified, all of them feeling their scalps become a bit numb.

“This type of thing cannot be randomly spoken!” The elder scoffed. He looked around him, seeing that they were all Immortal Domain creatures, thus calming down a bit.

“Senior, we all know that this dark storm is but a corner of the real turmoil. As for how miserable it will be in the future, it has already been deduced by the great masters many years ago. Now, there are some things that, if they are blindly hidden, it will be unfair for us. We do not wish to be muddle-headed ghosts, even if we are to die, we wish to know clearly.” That leader said.

Nearby, those people’s fine hairs stood on end, all of them shivering. What was the meaning of this? This commander great one was actually this pessimistic. This was definitely bad!

“It is due to fear of raising panic that some things must remain hidden!” Immortal Domain’s elder said coldly.

“But we’ll most likely be unable to return to Immortal Domain. We’re already at this point, if things are continued to be hidden from us, I cannot accept it!” The great commander said.

“We can’t go back?”

“Why? Could it be that we are all going to die here?”

The others were also stunned.

A layer of goosebumps covered all of their bodies, feeling like they were in great danger. Didn’t they say that this battle wouldn’t be too difficult? When they were leaving Immortal Domain, many people sent them off, smiles on their faces, saying they awaited their return.

“Perhaps you all do not know, but there were glorious great figures who fought with the creatures of darkness, yet in the end could not return to Immortal Domain.” The great commander said, his eyes shining.

“Did they all… die?”

“No, there are some who are alive, to the extent where they are still healthy in this world. However, they do not have the qualifications to return to Immortal Domain anymore, only able to remain in this world.” The great commander’s voice was shaking.

“Why?” One person asked with difficulty, swallowing a gulp of saliva.

“They are all in the life restricted regions!” The commander replied.
