Chapter 1621 - Immortal Pit
The pit was extremely large, and also extremely deep, made of stone. There were some cracks by the opening, looking like the fissures of a crude volcano.
Meanwhile, on the crater's surface, giant rocks were everywhere, all of them in different shapes, some like heavenly swords, inserted in midair, some like crouching White Tigers, some like Azure Dragons.
Some of the rocks were black, lacking luster, looking like they were soaked in black blood.
There were some rocks that were brown, as if they were chunks of dried mud.
In short, the heavenly pit lacked plant life. It was barren, extremely still, but it wasn't like a dead place, because it was rich with immortal energy rising from the depths of the pit.
This was a heavenly pit that had existed since the age when emperors fell, this naturally made one's thoughts go wild.
Shi Hao began to ponder to himself. Did this place really have rare treasures?
"Isn't it just a pit, What kind of underground mining region dangers haven't I seen before?" Shenming laughed. Her dress fluttered about as she stood on the cliff. Her figure was tall and slender, face sparkling white. Her large eyes were full of life, style alluring.
"Is that so? This Immortal Pit is extremely well-known in my Immortal Domain. If you all are not scared, you all can go down and give it a try." The young man dressed in violet-gold armor said.
His figure was tall and straight, carrying purple energy, even his pupils violet-gold, actually having a metallic radiance. His steps were like those of dragons and tigers, like a young emperor.
Now, the three of them already knew that his name was Huo Fudou, his race unclear, cultivation depth unclear. However, this was definitely an extremely terrifying young expert.
This type of person, if he went down to the lower realm, he would definitely be a powerful expert. If he couldn't overlook the entire younger generation, then it was pretty close.
"Have you all gone down before? Did you all obtain any returns?" Shenming smiled sweetly, charming and moving. She didn't express any of her own opinions, instead asking like this.
"I have received benefits." Huo Fudou was extremely cold. Even though Shenming's beauty could topple countries, he still didn't care too much about it, not like the Golden Crow Clan's young expert Jin Yang whose attitude towards her was far better than that towards Shi Hao and Sanzang.
"If you all have courage and insight, then go and explore yourselves. Heheh, who knows, you all came from the lower realms, so after you all taint Immortal Pit, the lurking Stone Beasts might all run away. At that time, this'll bring back great returns!" Another young lady said while laughing.
She wore a light blue long dress, hair a light blue like water ripples, pupils like sapphire, sparkling and translucent. She was extremely pretty, carrying immortal energy.
This was especially the case with the red marking between her brows that flickered with scarlet multicolored light. It left others with a deep impression, hard to forget after just a single look, adding a bit of a moving style to her appearance.
Only, her words really were a bit sharp, not really matching her immortal dao aura, clearly holding some type of innate superiority feeling towards those of the lower realms.
Her name was Nuo Lan, race also unknown.
"Have the people of your side not been beaten enough yet? Do you want to be mounted by Huang and beaten into submission before you're satisfied?" Shenming was surprisingly direct.
Even though she was a devastatingly beautiful woman, her bearing graceful, every frown and smile moving one's mind, a natural born beauty, her mouth wasn't lenient at all, words extremely penetrating.
The young lady Nuo Lan with a red marking between her brows that flickered with scarlet multicolored light, dressed in a blue dress, charming face like white jade immediately went rigid. Her water ripple-like hair fluttered about, eyes widening, extremely shocked.
It was clear that she didn't expect the other side to be this direct. This was just too direct, carrying a bit of unruliness.
From her side, what was even the term 'beaten enough'? She was even to be mounted on by Huang and beaten viciously, this was just too vulgar!
This sentence not only undid Jin Yang's scars, it even more so filled Nuo Lan's face with humiliation. She glared at Shenming, saying, "So this is the female cultivator of the lower realms? Manner of speech really is vulgar. Perhaps your conduct is also uncivilized?"
"Hmm? Do the words sting a bit? One shouldn't impose upon others what they don't desire themselves. When you spoke out to mock the lower realms, when you were looking down on us, have you taken the time to think in our shoes?" Shenming had a faint smile on her face.
Then, she further added, full of provocation, "If you can't accept it, then come, have Huang fight you. I promise that he'll suppress you within five hundred moves, moreover give you a beating three times over!"
Shi Hao rolled his eyes. Was she taking the initiative to drag him into the water too? What was she incurring the hatred of others for no reason for.
Nuo Lan glared hatefully at Shenming, and then suddenly laughed, not getting angry and saying, "That makes sense, if I fight with you, it'll be the same as bullying you, which is why you are pushing out this human clan youngster. However, you are overthinking it. I am not Jin Yang. If I take action, not many can hold me back!"
Shi Hao revealed an expression of shock. This blue-clothed young lady with a red marking between her brows was just too arrogant, right? Her large sapphire eyes actually carried a hint of battle intent.
She really was going to take action?
What was rare was that the people here, for example, the one directly involved, Jin Yang, didn't say too much, not refuting this. One could see that this young lady named Nuo Lan really was quite strong.
There were a total of five young individuals who accompanied Shi Hao this time. Jin Yang, White Peacock Fairy, purple-clothed youngster Huo Fudou and blue-eyed young lady Nuo Lan, only the last young man was rather taciturn, not saying too much, so they didn't know much about him.
Previously, they were covered in mist, not willing to reveal their true selves, showing disdain for the creatures of the lower realm, Shi Hao only saw White Peacock Fairy and Jin Yang's true selves. Now, Huo Fudou and Nuo Lan also finally revealed their true appearances.
However, it was all because of a bit of opposition, incited by words that they scattered the immortal mist, revealing their faces.
Kacha!
Right at this time, Shi Hao crushed a rock at the edge of the cliff with his hands, pulling out oval-shaped black stone pieces.
It was extremely sturdy. The surrounding rock all split apart, yet it remained firm and unbreaking. No matter how Shi Hao's fingers shone, it was still difficult to break.
This was quite the unusual thing. At his cultivation realm, even stars could be bare-handedly ripped in half, let alone a rock!
"I am warning you, do not be so impetuous here, be a bit more careful." Jin Yang spoke. It was because after losing to Shi Hao, he still didn't feel that good, carrying cold intent.
Honglong!
Shi Hao's palm and fingers shone, using a type of great divine ability, splitting this stone apart. With a pa sound, it cracked to pieces like an egg.
Sou sou sou...
Huo Fudou, Nuo Lan, White Peacock Fairy and others were all fast as lightning, quickly withdrawing, staying far away.
When Sanzang and Shenming saw this, they also backed up.
Only Shi Hao who was directly involved, when his palms and fingers shone, he was sucked in by a huge wave of power. His expression changed slightly. Following a light shout, magical force surged. He activated precious techniques, several types of divine abilities merged together, and only then did he break away, quickly withdrawing.
Hong!
A wave of berserk energy rushed out. A head that was covered in red fur opened its bloody mouth, directly biting through space, making the place where Shi Hao stood explode to pieces.
It carried a wave of barbaric aura, extremely distant, as if it came from prehistoric times, struggling free into this place.
Hou!
A great roar sounded, shaking up this region, even Immortal Pit shaking. Many giant rocks in the surroundings fell, the ground surface shaking and rumbling with noise.
Not far out, a few figures quickly rushed over. There were quite a few people who were searching for opportunities here, just that this place was too large, so they were rather spread out. This disturbance just now was too great, startling the surrounding cultivators.
This head was a bit like a lion, the hair on the temples scarlet red, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't a lion at all, the only part that was similar was the lion mane.
This was a monster, its large bloody mouth swallowing the sky. It suddenly increased in size, becoming as great as a mountain peak, that head like an archaic great mountain as it occupied that area.
This left Shi Hao who quickly backed up stupefied. Just now, it was just a stone that was a zhang or so in length that was destroyed, so why did this colossus suddenly appear?
It only had a head, the neck bloody, not having a body.
This really was a bit terrifying. The head was raised, the void collapsing. When that bloody mouth opened, it was as if it could swallow all things.
In the distance, a few mountains were uprooted, flying towards its mouth. There was some metal ore that melted into liquid, becoming a stream, also flowing towards its mouth.
"What... kind of monster is this?" Shi Hao was startled.
If not for him backing up fast enough, the consequences would be hard to predict.
"Youngster, you should rejoice that you can still live after acting so rashly." A middle-aged man descended here, speaking like this.
White Peacock Fairy, Huo Fudou and Nuo Lan also walked over, because that thick scarlet-furred vicious beast's head didn't chase after them.
"Luckily, it was only a wave of blood energy, not true flesh. Otherwise, there would definitely be a bloody battle." Huo Fudou said.
White Peacock Fairy explained to them. Comparatively speaking, her attitude was still not bad, not particularly looking down on the lower realms' creatures.
"I already explained everything. This place has natural luck, but it is also extremely dangerous. There are some things sealed within some stones, some products of the era when emperors fell."
According to what White Peacock Fairy said, one couldn't act too rashly here. If some ruined magical bodies were unleashed, there might be corpse fiends that might be released, causing a 'demonic calamity'.
"It's this sinister?" Shi Hao revealed a strange expression.
If there was this type of place, Immortal Domain should have flattened this place. Shi Hao voiced his doubts.
"There's nothing that can be done, there are some things in the depths of the underground that cannot be moved, best if the original state is preserved. On the contrary however, younger generations can come here to search for opportunities." The middle-aged man explained, revealing an expression of surprise. It was because this was general knowledge, why did this young man not know about this?
"They are creatures of the lower realms." Jin Zhan spoke, moreover explaining further.
The middle-aged man's attitude directly became cold, turning around to leave, not giving Shi Hao another look. Moreover, his body shone, purifying his body with a wondrous technique.
This type of scene made Shi Hao really want to throw his shoe at his face. He actually showed the cultivators of the outside world such disgust!
"This is a great place! What a great place!" Sanzang who hadn't said anything for a long time spoke up, moreover continuously nodding, praising this place.
Even Shenming laughed, extremely sweet, a smile able to topple cities. Her figure was graceful like a lotus, style exceptional, searching carefully here for something.
Shi Hao was moved. Those were two Golden Undead Knights, could it be that this was a paradise for them?
"Brother Sanzang, in a bit, help me choose a piece of rock, let the people of Immortal Domain vomit a few mouthfuls of blood." Shi Hao transmitted sound.
"No problem, I'll do my best. However, I feel like Brother Huang should trust your own instincts more, perhaps you really might be able to find some scripture left behind from the age when emperors fell." Sanzang said.
He further transmitted sound, saying, "I believe I heard Burial Kings mention that the true scriptures from the age when emperors fell were priceless!"
The weight of these words was extremely heavy. For even Burial Kings to praise them, just what kind of scriptures were these?!
The ancient texts that could be regarded as 'scriptures' during that age, they were definitely supreme treasures.
"Sigh, I really hope I can bring some amazing stuff out of here, have them feel a bit conflicted and at a loss. That way, when we leave, they'll come out of Immortal Domain to find us." Shi Hao said.
