In the valley, the mountain of skeletons had fallen to the ground.
The skeletons on the bluestone were fragmented and on the verge of falling apart.
"Old man, where is this place? How can we leave?" The Little Mouse asked.
"Hahaha, this is Death Valley. Don't even think about leaving."
The skeletons let out a wild laugh. Thinking about how they were trapped in Death Valley and unable to leave, he was very happy.
Even if his remnant consciousness was about to dissipate, he could still drag a few human geniuses down with him.
"You're courting death."
The Little Mouse rushed in front of the skeletons, opened its small mouth, and bit the skeletons head.
The skeletons immediately let out a miserable cry.
Back then, when he fought with the Zang Jian Emperor, his body and soul were almost destroyed.
Now that his remnant consciousness had recovered a little, if he could find a suitable vessel, he would be able to revive.
But he didn't expect to meet the Little Mouse.
The skeletons were very unlucky.
The Little Mouse's teeth were extremely sharp as it bit the remnant consciousness of the skeletons.
"Old man, if you don't tell me, I'll make you wish you were dead," the Little Mouse threatened.
"Hmph, there's no harm in telling you. Anyway, don't even think about leaving." A person who was about to die didn't care about anything else.
The skeletons slowly explained.
It turned out that this valley was called Death Valley.
It was the main battlefield of that earth-shattering battle.
Back then, countless experts had died here.
The old man was the only survivor in Death Valley.
After the baptism of countless years, Death Valley was filled with the aura of death.
If a human martial artist wanted to leave Death Valley, they had to convert the aura of life on their body into the aura of death.
But how could ordinary martial artists do it?
The aura of death was the aura of the dead.
This stumped Fang Chen and the others.
"Damn it." Tie Yizun and the others were filled with worry.
They didn't expect to accidentally enter such a damned place.
"Old man, is there any way to leave?" the Little Mouse asked.
"If you want to leave, you have to comprehend the true meaning of death." The skeletons laughed, taking joy in their misfortune.
Crack!
The skeletons that had lost their function was directly crushed by the Little Mouse, and the remnant consciousness dissipated.
Little Mouse turned to look at Fang Chen. "Boss, what should we do?"
Fang Chen's face was gloomy. He could clearly feel that the laws within the valley were different from those outside.
Here, the aura of death was the main theme.
"It's impossible to convert all the Life Qi into Death Qi. The only way to get out of here is to comprehend the True Meaning of Death," Murong Bing said.
The True Intent of Death was a legendary transcendent-grade True Intent.
True Intents were divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, and transcendental.
Of course, there was also the supreme true meaning that did not exist in this world.
In the vast universe, those who had comprehended a transcendent-grade True Intent were few and far between.
And those who could comprehend an exceptional true intent were practically none.
Fang Chen's True Meaning of Space and Time was the legendary supreme True Meaning.
That was his last thought. Without any foundation of cultivation, it was too difficult to comprehend the True Intent of Death.
"Is there no other way?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
The eight of them discussed for a while and decided to try and see if they could break out of Death Valley with their own strength.
Then, the eight of them went back the way they came.
They wanted to leave through the entrance, but they found that the entrance to the valley had long since disappeared. The entire valley was like a single entity. There was no exit at all.
"Let's try attacking the same spot," Fang Chen said.
Boom!
Eight tyrannical attacks gathered at one point and ruthlessly attacked a certain point in the valley.
Immediately, ripples appeared in the void.
Then, a terrifying aura of death enveloped Fang Chen's group.
"Not good! Restrain your aura!" Tie Yizun shouted.
The eight of them hastily retracted their aura. Even so, the dense aura of death still left some marks on their bodies.
"Too strong. The aura of death here is like the ruler of heaven and earth," Torvosaura said as he looked at the wounds on his body.
They had only just released a bit of Life Qi when the aura of death sensed it.
"From now on, don't release your aura," Fang Chen warned.
Once they released their aura, they would be targeted by the aura of death.
"Then what do we do?" Tie Yizun asked.
"Let's see if there are any other exits," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
The eight of them split up and searched for the exits.
After an hour, the eight of them had no results.
"Looks like we can't get out," Torvosaura said helplessly.
Who would have thought that they would enter such a mysterious place?
"There's no other way. We can only comprehend the True Intent of Death."
Everyone shook their heads and sat down cross-legged. With the help of the dense aura of death in Death Valley, they began to comprehend the True Intent of Death.
There was no other way. If they couldn't comprehend it, they would be trapped here forever.
Fang Chen sat on the green rock where the skeleton was and closed his eyes.
"True Intent of Death."
He had never come into contact with the aura of death before. It was very difficult to comprehend the True Intent of Death.
"We can only start from the Intent of Death," Fang Chen said.
However, just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly discovered a unique sword Qi emitting from his body.
This sword Qi was actually not afraid of the aura of death and was emitted.
Then, the sword Qi scattered in the void.
Then, an image appeared in front of Fang Chen.
Suddenly, Fang Chen opened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
The scene in the image was exactly Death Valley.
At that time, there weren't mountains of corpses in Death Valley.
A middle-aged martial artist was holding a long sword and fighting with a foreign race expert.
"This is Emperor Zang Jian."
Fang Chen exclaimed.
He saw what had happened in Death Valley.
"Could it be because I once obtained the inheritance of Emperor Zang Jian?"
Fang Chen stared at this scene with his mouth agape.
Emperor Zang Jian was too strong at that time.
He seemed to be able to destroy the starry sky with a raise of his hand.
Fang Chen was shocked with every slash of the sword.
The foreign race expert opposite him was no match for Emperor Zang Jian.
From the beginning to the end, Emperor Zang Jian made a total of three sword strikes.
He directly injured the foreign race expert. Then, the Heaven Devouring Divine Rat appeared and used its innate ability to kill the foreign race expert.
Emperor Zang Jian's body seemed to have merged with heaven and earth.
"What realm is this?"
Fang Chen was shocked.
Although he had come into contact with Emperor Zang Jian when he was in Burial Sword State.
At that time, he only thought that Emperor Zang Jian was an expert from the Outerverse and didn't think much of it.
But now, it seemed that Emperor Zang Jian wasn't just an expert.
"With such destructive power, he should at least be an expert from the Divine World." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Emperor Zang Jian put away his long sword and his aura spread out.
Fang Chen was fascinated and entered a state of enlightenment.
Emperor Zang Jian turned to look in Fang Chen's direction and revealed a bright smile.
Huala.
Emperor Zang Jian disappeared and the image in front of him disappeared.
As for Fang Chen, he was in a state of enlightenment.
When he was in Burial Sword State, he received Emperor Zang Jian's recognition.
The Sword Dao that he cultivated was more or less related to Emperor Zang Jian.
Now that he saw Emperor Zang Jian's comprehension of Sword Dao, he entered a state of enlightenment.
His Sword Dao aura spread out and the death aura in Death Valley couldn't get close.
Little Mouse also saw Boss's abnormality and was a little surprised.
"Boss is breaking through."
"Sword Dao."
Fang Chen kept recalling Emperor Zang Jian's three sword moves in his mind and it was simply shocking.
Every sword strike was simple to the extreme, but its power was frighteningly great.
If Emperor Zang Jian didn't control his strength, the entire Death Valley would have been destroyed.
Zang Jian Emperor had also risen from humble beginnings and eventually became a top-notch expert in the vast universe.
Unfortunately, he fell due to certain reasons.
"Although they are both Sword Dao, Emperor Zang Jian's control of Sword Dao is too strong."
Fang Chen exclaimed.
While Fang Chen was in a state of enlightenment, the other seven people were also rapidly comprehending the True Intent of Death.
In the blink of an eye, one month had passed.
Fang Chen and the others were safe and sound, but there was no progress.
On this day, a figure appeared outside Death Valley.
This person was wearing a golden robe and if there were others here, they would definitely recognize this person.
He was one of the Nine Great Star Kings of the Old Hua Islands, Star Arrow King.
"This is …"
Star Arrow King accidentally discovered this valley and felt that the death aura in the valley was too strong.
Standing outside the valley, Star Arrow King didn't step in.
Instead, he picked up the longbow on his back and shot out an arrow.
The most terrifying thing about Star Arrow King was his superb archery skills.
On the Old Hua Islands, there was a saying among the Heavenly Body Tier cultivators.
Don't provoke Star Arrow King. Otherwise, no matter how far away you are, Star Arrow King's arrow will pierce through the void and kill you.
Although this saying was a little exaggerated, it also showed Star Arrow King's powerful archery skills.
Swoosh!
However, the moment the ordinary arrow left the bowstring, it seemed to be enchanted by Arrow Star King.
With terrifying power, it directly pierced into the thick death aura around Death Valley.
Dong!
The arrow pierced into the death aura and exploded.
The horrifying death aura formed a gigantic vortex in the void. It spun rapidly and devoured the aura of the sharp arrow.
Seeing this, Star Arrow King's expression changed slightly.
His intuition told him that this valley was very dangerous.
Star Arrow King turned and left to find the other Star Kings.
This valley was suspected to be the nest of the Demon Blood Tribe and the Bloodthirsty Tribe.
The mission of the Nine Great Star Kings was to destroy the nest of the two great tribes and eliminate all future threats.
Star Arrow King left.
However, he alarmed the other seven people in Death Valley.
"What's going on? Someone is attacking Death Valley?"
"What a terrifying attack. That person is at least at the peak of the Heavenly Body Tier."
"Archery skills. Only that person can reach the peak of the Heavenly Body Tier." Tie Yizun looked up at the void, his eyes filled with respect.
"Who is it?" Man Long asked in confusion.
Murong Bing seemed to have thought of that person as well and was very surprised.
"Old Hua Islands, Star Arrow King, one of the Nine Great Star Kings," Tie Yizun said.
