Chapter 1378: Mysterious Jade Bone (Part 2)
"I now have the body of a Heavenly Saint. Isn\'t that strong enough?" Shen Xiang felt that his body was very powerful among humans, but there were still people who were thousands of times stronger than him.
"The Heavenly Saint Body is very powerful. How do you think you compare to this jade bone?" Long Xueyi asked.
"What a bullshit! He can\'t even break a divine weapon. This guy can\'t even be considered a human being." Shen Xiang only now realized how terrifying this ancient domain of holy beasts was. Even people with such a powerful body would die here, so what about him?
"The owner of this skeleton is most likely the Dan Emperor!" Bai Youyou suddenly said.
Among the Nine Emperors and Five Lords, Dan Emperor alone occupied two positions. He was both Dan Lord and Dan Emperor, and many people did not know it at the time, which shows how terrifying his strength was.
"Is there any basis for this?" Shen Xiang asked.
"To have such a strong body, you also need a very strong flame to temper it. You should know this very well. You often used flames to temper your body in the past. In that era, there were only a few people who had such a strong flame. The Fire Emperor, the Pill Emperor, and the Divine Craftsman were among them. Yue Baishan said that the Pill Emperor has never left since he came here."
"Although Yue Baishan and his group are very powerful, they are not enough in front of the Dan Emperor. The Dan Emperor is a being close to god, and only his physical body is close to the realm of a god. He is only at the holy bone stage now." Bai Youyou said slowly.
He has no power after death, but even the divine weapons cannot cut through his bones. When he was alive, he was indeed very powerful!
Shen Xiang has the skeleton of the Vermillion Bird, but the bones of a sacred beast like the Vermillion Bird are not that powerful!
"But... Dan Emperor is so powerful, how could he die?" Shen Xiang couldn\'t believe it. Even Fire Emperor could survive until now. If Ice Emperor hadn\'t been killed by him, he would still be half-dead now.
But only a skeleton remains of this Dan Emperor.
"He is not dead, but he gave up his body, and his soul left his body, and left this place in other ways." Su Meiyao said, "It should be like this. He is the Dan Emperor, it is impossible for him to die of old age, and he has such a powerful body, nothing can hurt him at all."
There was indeed no scar on the skeleton.
Shen Xiang dug a hole in the ground, buried the skeleton, and then continued on his way. Even if he looked back now, he could not see the road he had just walked. All he could see was the front.
He felt that the space he was in was like time, and he could not go backwards. What was better than time was that he could move left and right, but he had to move like a crab. He could also run forward faster, or stay where he was.
"If that is really the Dan Emperor, I wonder what he got here, and where did he go after leaving here?" Shen Xiang said.
"I don\'t know. Maybe he went to a higher world, or continued to stay in the Nine Heavens. If he could cultivate a powerful body, he could dominate the heavens. Guys like the Dragon Emperor are just minions in front of him. He is a real emperor." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang took out the map and looked at it carefully. This forest was very large and was surrounded by a huge mountain. By walking in the forest, he could bypass the huge mountain.
If you walk out of the forest, you will reach a desert. In the desert there is a big river. There is a passage at the bottom of the river. That is the fifth safe route.
Shen Xiang didn\'t know if he could get out of the forest, because Yue Baishan had said before that no one who went deep into the forest would be able to get out. Yue Baishan just discovered the danger and immediately tried his best to escape. He had not yet gone deep into the forest.
"At least it\'s safe now. According to the clues I\'ve got so far, my biggest danger is probably being trapped in here!"
Shen Xiang put away the map and ran forward with confidence.
"If that white bone is really the Dan Emperor, this guy is too powerful. He should have reached the final destination. According to the special space of this place, it is difficult for him to go backwards, but he still appeared there. I don\'t know how he did it. If he continues to work hard, maybe he can get out."
The place where the bones were found was very close to the outside.
"It\'s hard to say. Maybe every step he takes takes a year or ten years, and the strength required is very great. He may not be able to hold on. Sometimes he can succeed if he just holds on a little longer, but he must have despaired many times in that situation, so he is exhausted."
Shen Xiang felt that if he had the chance to meet the Dan Emperor in the future, he would definitely ask him what he felt at that time.
Two days passed and Shen Xiang was still in the forest. He had not encountered any danger along the way. Just when he was a little careless, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The old trees in the woods he passed before were full of vitality, but the leaves of the large group of old trees in front had all fallen off. Those old trees were all bare and dead. The scorching sun was not blocked by the dense branches and leaves, and could directly shine on the ground.
"There\'s something strange. Almost all the trees in front are dead, and this happened recently." Long Xueyi said.
If this happened a long time ago, these ancient trees would have decayed in the long water and moon.
Shen Xiang stepped into the dead forest and his expression suddenly changed.
"What\'s wrong?" Long Xueyi asked hurriedly.
"Quickly give me a longevity fruit to eat. My lifespan will be lost very quickly in here!" Shen Xiang said.
Fortunately, Shen Xiang had prepared some longevity fruits in the Youyao Ring, and for his current level of cultivation, the longevity fruits could help him prolong his life for a long time.
After he ate the longevity fruit, his expression eased a lot: "Staying here for one day will reduce my lifespan by at least one year. If there were no longevity fruit, and I was trapped here for a long time, I would die of old age soon."
"Is it that time passes quickly? Or is there some other reason?" Long Xueyi asked.
"There is a force that is devouring my lifespan. It\'s not the passage of time. In short, I can\'t stay in this place for too long. I don\'t know if the road ahead will always be like this." Shen Xiang\'s face was solemn, because this safe route had become unsafe. Although there was no way back before, it was at least safe and he didn\'t encounter any life-threatening things. But now something strange happened.
"It seems that the person who created this safe route is very powerful, maybe he is the Ten Heavenly Emperor!" Long Xueyi said: "The beast-killing technique is very important to the entire beast tribe. In the past, the beast tribe had many sacred beasts because of the beast-killing technique."
"But why does the Ten Heavens Emperor want to protect the Beast Killing Technique so much? Wouldn\'t it be enough to just destroy the cliff that has the Beast Killing Technique engraved on it?" Long Xueyi felt very confused.
"We\'ll have to wait until Elder Duan finds more information to find out. Something must have happened back then, so this ancient domain of sacred beasts became the Night Devil Hell." Shen Xiang sighed. This was something he had always wanted to know.
Shen Xiang traveled overnight, and it took him a total of twenty days to finally leave the forest and step into the desert on the map, preparing to enter the fifth safe route. When he arrived at the desert, he still couldn\'t go back.
The fifth safe route was at the bottom of a big river. He found the river in the desert according to the map, but the river had dried up!
There was a big river outside the forest before. That river was much smaller than this one, but it was not dry, and there were two huge basalt beasts.
This was difficult for Shen Xiang to understand. The desert was very hot and there was no spiritual energy. He felt that something was devouring the energy of this large area.
"Although it is dry, we still have to follow the safe route to avoid accidents!" Shen Xiang came to the bottom of the deep river. If he looked down from the sky, this river must be like a huge crack in the ground.
Under the dry riverbed, you can clearly see a ditch. This ditch is the safe route. It is as deep as three people. Now Shen Xiang is running in it. If there is water, this ditch may be safer, just like the previous small river.
This is the fifth safe route. After crossing the desert, you will reach a rocky mountain. Under the rocky mountain there is a very long tunnel that leads to a huge valley.
Ever since he entered the area of ??no return, he had not seen those little night demons, and had not even heard their voices. However, he still felt annoyed because this place was like a dead end, and there was no way back.
"There\'s nothing here. This river should be the largest one here. Some skeletons of water beasts would be fine." Shen Xiang was running wildly under the ditch. The dry river was empty. He did not find any water beast as huge as the Xuanwu beast.
"Do you think all animals have cultivated jade bones? Skeletons and corpses would have been reduced to ashes tens of thousands of years ago." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang sighed in his heart. His only hope to get out now was to reach the end and find the beast-killing technique.
"I don\'t know if Yue Baishan\'s friends and his wife are still alive. Maybe I can meet them!" Shen Xiang said.
"It\'s hard to say. Even if they are alive, they are probably at the end. There is no turning back. It\'s hard for you to meet them here." Long Xueyi asked.
"Is your life span still being devoured in this desert?" Bai Youyou asked.
"It\'s devouring more violently. One day might devour two years of my life. Fortunately, I have the Longevity Fruit!" Shen Xiang said.
