At this moment, Xiao Chen had already been subdued by the old man's ruthlessness. However, after a while, he had already regained his senses. The old man in front of him was a Venerable who was at least at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Building Realm. Furthermore, he was a ruthless person who did not hesitate to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of clansmen in order to suppress the millions of foreign beasts. Thus, he was definitely a person who was decisive in killing, and also a person who hated evil as if it was his enemy.
"Boy, you are quite sensible. In your heart, you have not forgotten the glory of the human race's ancient inheritance. The human race has never died in hundreds of battles, and has fought all over the world. Even if there are some shameless scum in the race, who do not have the blood of the human race, but more importantly, the backbone of the human race will not be broken. Tens of thousands of years have passed. In this world, there is no longer me, the Venerable Purple Snake, and there is no longer my Purple Snake Combat Division. The glorious Purple Snake Combat Division has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and has borne the responsibility of tens of thousands of years. Finally, there will be a day when I grow old, just like the human combat divisions that have been destroyed generation after generation. Since you were able to break the seal and enter this city that has been buried for tens of thousands of years, it seems that the seal has already been broken!"
"Venerable Senior, you are right. This seal has already been broken by the foreign race from the outside. I came to this underground city because I chased the resentful spirits of the foreign race!"
"The ancient seal formation used hundreds of thousands of clansmen as a blood guide, and millions of Otaku people were buried underground. After so many calculations, I did not expect that in the end, the foreign beasts were still not completely wiped out. A dam of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. This is fate!"
"My tribe is only five thousand miles away from here. A day ago, the people within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were suddenly shrouded in darkness. Countless Otaku resentful spirits wreaked havoc in the vast wilderness. Hundreds of human tribes were massacred by them. Therefore, in order to find the place where the resentful spirits gathered, I inadvertently barged into this underground city. However, on the way here, I heard some Wanderers say that the seal here was broken by a foreign race from the outside. As for the identity of this foreign race, I do not know!"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. He was very curious about the identity of this foreign race who had broken the seal. After all, he had heard from an elder of the Black Snake Tribe that there was a ruin of a human tribe here. After the Black Snake Tribe was destroyed, he had personally come to investigate, but was forced to retreat by the seal. He did not expect the situation to change so drastically in just a few days. Furthermore, he had entered the ruin and learned of such a secret from ten thousand years ago.
"Ten thousand years ago, we sacrificed hundreds of thousands of clansmen to seal the foreign beasts. We had no choice but to do so. I did not expect that in just ten thousand years, it would be broken by these foreign races from the outside. The one who broke the seal was a resentful spirit that escaped from this sealed space. It only sealed this place from the outside after possessing a human's body. It could be said that it knew this ancient seal formation like the back of its hand. Three hundred years ago, a resentful spirit among the millions of imperial beasts that were originally sealed here had already awakened."
"What?!"
The Purple Snake Tribe member did not pay attention to Xiao Chen's shock. He continued, "That resentful spirit was a commander of the imperial beasts. After it awakened, three hundred years ago, a human cultivator accidentally entered the outer perimeter of the formation when it was at its weakest. He picked up an elementary cultivation method of my Purple Snake Tribe. Since then, for the past three hundred years, this bloodline of humans would enter the formation whenever it was at its weakest. Just a month ago, a human entered this place and took away a bronze chariot. The commander of the imperial beasts possessed the chariot and left this formation!"
What!
Since entering the underground city, the repeated shocks had almost made Xiao Chen numb. According to the Purple Snake Venerable, a human had entered this underground city three hundred years ago. If he was right, it must be the first chief of the Black Snake Tribe who had accidentally obtained the resources in the ruins and established the Black Snake Tribe. This was exactly three hundred years ago. In this way, it could clearly explain why the Black Snake Tribe could develop so quickly in this remote area after only being established for three hundred years, and this was only by picking up some resources from the outer perimeter of the city.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could not help but feel a monstrous wave in his heart. According to the old man, someone had entered this underground city a few days ago and had even taken away a bronze chariot. This person's identity was obvious. The person who owned the bronze chariot was the chief of the Black Snake Tribe, Xuan Kui. Xuan Ke had long been killed by him at the Yuan Stone Vein. In this way, it could be confirmed that the corpses that had piled up like a mountain at the Yuan Stone Vein had disappeared without a trace. This was also the reason for the collapse of the hill.
"Venerable senior, since you've already discovered that a commander-level vengeful spirit of the Imperial Beast Clan has awakened in the formation three hundred years ago, why didn't you act …"
"Did you turn a blind eye to me and the vengeful spirit of the Imperial Beast Clan, allowing it to accumulate strength and recover its vitality in three hundred years? Did you even allow it to possess the body of a human and leave the underground city to wreak havoc in the vast wilderness and slaughter its fellow humans?"
Venerable Purple Snake said as he looked at Xiao Chen's puzzled expression. Even so, the old man did not look angry. Instead, there was a trace of worry. One could imagine what could make a Venerable level powerhouse feel worried. "Sigh, I also have my own difficulties.
I'm afraid this secret has long been buried in the passage of time and no one knows about it. My Giant Stone Valley was so vast a hundred thousand years ago. As for the name 'Giant Stone Valley', it was only called fifty thousand years ago. Fifty thousand years ago, when the King of Zi Jin was at its peak, my Giant Stone Valley belonged to the Supreme King's King of Zi Jin. All the human combat divisions in the valley were feudal vassals of the King of Zi Jin. At that time, the human race was at its peak and there were many human combat divisions in Giant Stone Valley. The territory of our Giant Stone Valley was so vast that the strength of our Giant Stone Valley had already surpassed the Falling Dragon Mountain Range and reached the Southern Region of the Wasteland. The entire Giant Stone Valley spanned millions of miles. Now, Giant Stone Valley is just a small basin in the Falling Dragon Mountain Range with an area of only a few hundred thousand miles. Compared to the territory of fifty thousand years ago, it's not even a tenth of its original size! "
"This …!"
Hearing the Purple Snake's continuous spilling of secrets, Xiao Chen's heart could be said to have waves after waves. How could he not know about the King of Zi Jin? Xiao Chen had always yearned to join such a famous King of Zi Jin tribe. At this moment, in the space of his Seal of Mountains and Rivers, the King of Zi Jin tribe's inherited secret technique, the Purple Gold Battle Body, was quietly lying inside. He never thought that he would once again hear the Purple Snake mention this human race's Supreme King's tribe that had already disappeared in the river of time.
"Fifty thousand years ago, countless foreign races joined forces and besieged our human race's Supreme King of Zi Jin tribe. Under the joint attack of several foreign race kings, the last generation's King of Zi Jin was ultimately defeated and died in battle. His blood spilled across the wilderness. That battle caused the mountains and rivers to change color. Giant Rock Valley was also one of the battlefields. Giant Rock Valley, which originally spanned several millions of miles, was forcefully turned into a barren wasteland. The rivers and seas flowed backwards, the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range shifted, and the original territory of Giant Rock Valley was reduced by eighty percent. After the great battle, the entire territory under the King of Zi Jin's rule was smashed into pieces. Billions of clansmen fell into depravity. There were even foreign races that descended into Giant Rock Valley through the Void Road. From that moment on, the entire Giant Rock Valley was engulfed in the smoke of war, becoming the hunting ground of the foreign races!"
"These foreign races were the Otaku. From then on, our Giant Rock Valley was plunged into an endless bloody war. Fortunately, although our human race suffered a great loss due to the sudden attack of the foreign races, our foundation was still intact. After thousands of years of tug-of-war, with the support of the other kings, our human race was able to slowly reclaim a large portion of the original King of Zi Jin's territory!"
Xiao Chen gently shook his head. Since ancient times, the human race had been a history of bloody wars. Countless mysteries had disappeared in the long river of time. Too many lives had been buried in this land of the human race. Not only the human race, there were also many foreign races. After countless years, their corpses had already turned into ashes and merged with the entire wilderness.
"However, because of the opening of the Void Road, the foreign races could continuously enter our Gu Yuan Tribe from their territory. Because of this, the war between the two sides had always been in a stalemate. Later on, several of our human race experts used their entire lives to form a seal and sealed the Void Road. Only then did Giant Rock Valley have a chance to survive. However, there were still the remnants of the Otaku from the foreign races in Giant Rock Valley."
After a slight pause, Xiao Chen continued, "Therefore, Senior used the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of humans from the Purple Snake Tribe to open the great sealing formation and completely annihilate the remnants of the Imperial Beast Tribe!"
"That's right. However, things aren't that simple. Even if there are millions of foreign beasts from the foreign races remaining in Giant Rock Valley, they are just rootless duckweeds. As long as our human race tribes work together, we will definitely be able to completely annihilate them. The animal skin scroll that I left behind was originally intended to cover up this secret. However, no matter how much I calculated, there was still an oversight!"
"The problem lies in this Void Road!"
"Void Road?"
Xiao Chen also knew a little about the Void Road. It was a space wormhole or an eternal space opened by a supreme expert in the void. It was a passage connecting two distant regions.
"After this Void Road was sealed, our human race established tribes at the junction of this Void Road to suppress the foreign races from breaking the seal. For tens of thousands of years, this Void Road has experienced the rise and fall of several tribes. Until twenty thousand years ago, when the previous generation of tribes guarding the Void Road completely declined and were no longer able to suppress the Void Road, my Purple Snake Tribe took over the responsibility of suppressing this Void Road!"
"However, the seal on this Void Road is not unchanging. As time goes by, the strength of the seal will gradually weaken. At that time, there will be a powerful foreign race that will break the seal and descend upon Giant Rock Valley. Therefore, every time the seal weakens, it is the time when the guarding tribe will engage in a bloody battle. Ten thousand years ago was the time when the seal was at its weakest. In order to prevent the foreign races from descending upon Giant Rock Valley again, I wanted to annihilate the remnants of the foreign beasts that were wreaking havoc in Giant Rock Valley once and for all. Therefore, I came up with this plan. I used the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of people from my Purple Snake Tribe as bait to trap and kill the millions of Otaku people. At the same time, the flesh and blood of the millions of Otaku people were turned into energy and poured into the seal on the Void Road. This completely sealed the Void Road so that the foreign races will not have the opportunity to descend upon Giant Rock Valley and wreak havoc on our people!"
At this point, the Venerable Purple Snake's words were filled with undisguised murderous intent. The atmosphere in the great hall suddenly dropped. Xiao Chen could even feel some crystal-clear frost forming on the ground. A chill seeped into his bones.
The Venerable Purple Snake's words did not fluctuate because of his emotions. Although his eyes were covered by the pearls on the glazed crown, they still shone brightly through the gaps.
"These wandering Otaku people are like ghosts that haunt us. They actually hope in vain that when the seal on the Void Road weakens, they will use a blood sacrifice to reopen the Void Road and allow the experts of the Beast Clan to descend upon Giant Rock Valley. My Purple Snake Tribe is the battalion that guards the Void Road. Naturally, we have to kill them all. Since it is a blood sacrifice, why not use their flesh and blood to strengthen the seal and return to Giant Rock Valley ten thousand years of peace!"
"Kid, don't you want to know why I watched the vengeful spirits of the Beast Clan awaken and even escape to wreak havoc in the vast wilderness again?"
"This … Venerable Senior, I dare not make wild guesses!"
"Haha … you've guessed it, but you don't want to say it!"
Xiao Chen was not surprised that the old man had seen through his thoughts. From the moment he saw the Venerable Purple Snake, he felt that he had nowhere to hide in the eyes of this old monster from ten thousand years ago. At this moment, the thought that emerged in his mind was that the seal on the Void Road had once again changed.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Venerable Purple Snake's words confirmed his thoughts.
"Ten thousand years ago, the seal that I used the flesh and blood of millions of Beast Clan to strengthen has once again changed!"
Xiao Chen, who still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, was shattered into pieces by Venerable Purple Snake's words. He felt a chill run down his spine. The seal on the Void Road had changed again. The current Gigantic Rock Valley was no longer the same as it was ten thousand years ago. Nowadays, martial arts in Gigantic Rock Valley had withered, and the martial power of the Blood Refining Realm was already considered a high-end combat power. Ten thousand years ago, the Purple Snake Division had united hundreds of tribes in Gigantic Rock Territory. After a series of wars, they still had more than five hundred Blood Refining Realm warriors and nine Heavenly Layer Great Warriors. Even this Venerable Purple Snake in front of him was a Heavenly Layer Sixth Layer Great Warrior. With such strength, they had to sacrifice the entire tribe of hundreds of thousands to strengthen the seal. Now that the seal was broken, how could Gigantic Rock Valley resist the attack of the foreign tribes?
Now that the seal was broken, how could the Giant Rock Valley resist the attack of the foreign races? "Therefore, this old man did not stop this lucky member of the Beast Clan who had awakened his divine soul to escape. Thinking about it, in these ten thousand years, the Giant Rock Valley has been peaceful for a long time, and martial arts cultivation has been slacking a lot. Our human race has fought hard in the Great Wilderness and survived hundreds of battles because we relied on continuous fighting. Although the Great Wilderness is vast and there are many human tribes, those who forget to fight will perish. This old man let this small fish escape to remind the descendants of the human race in the Giant Rock Valley that danger is everywhere. Only by fighting can we survive and thrive in the dangerous Great Wilderness."
"At the same time, in these ten thousand years, my Purple Snake Division has long been buried under the endless wasteland, never to see the light of day. I'm afraid that it has long disappeared in the long river of time. Now, this old man is only a remnant soul. Who knows if my soul will scatter in the next moment. This heavy responsibility of guarding the Void Road of the foreign races cannot be left behind by my Purple Snake Division!
We need a new human division to replace my Purple Snake Division and guard the Void Road! "
The human race has not died in hundreds of battles, and there is still a righteous cause. The journey of heaven and earth has been stained with blood, and the torch of generations will not be extinguished!
