Although opportunities were dependent on luck, one also needed strength. He did not plan on letting those within the Great Eastern Alliance freely enter and exit the burial grounds. This was his territory, and he was the overlord.
As for himself, he planned to enter the burial grounds to explore.
The burial grounds did not restrict one's cultivation, and anyone could enter as long as they found the entrance.
Lan Si was one of the first to enter, and he had already been in the burial grounds for a few days. Over the past few days, he had been thinking of ways to avoid the wooden hammers that fell on his head.
He wanted to curse, but after entering the burial grounds, he had inexplicably found himself in a sunken area. Before he could even take a good look at his surroundings, a wooden hammer had already smashed down on his head. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly enough to see the cracks on the hammer and determine its position. Otherwise, he would have been crushed to death.
The wooden hammer was as large as a planet, and it smashed into the ground again and again. Each strike caused the ground to sink and the void to crack. Lan Si guessed that only a giant could use such a wooden hammer. Based on the size of the hammer, this giant was even larger than Chen Huang. In fact, it was so large that it could even grab a planet.
Lan Si tried his best to avoid the hammer, but it was useless. The wooden hammer was too large, and even with his speed, he could not escape before the next strike landed. He could only stare at the cracks on the hammer and avoid being smashed by it.
Fortunately, the wooden hammer was as large as a planet, and the cracks were as wide as mountains. As long as he did not run around, he would be fine even if he stayed where he was.
He endured the first day in this manner, and on the second day, he discovered that the wooden hammer had a strange rhythm when it struck the ground. This rhythm excited him, as it was similar to the Overlaying Stacks Path, but it was also different.
The Overlaying Stacks Path was one layer after another, and the Emptiness Palm was the culmination of the Overlaying Stacks Path. It allowed one to forcefully display the strongest power of the Overlaying Stacks Path with a single palm strike. However, the rhythm of the wooden hammer striking the ground was different. It was as if all of one's strength had been unleashed in an instant.
This technique of using strength was even better than the Emptiness Palm.
Lan Si was excited, and he did not want to leave. He wanted to stay here and experience it.
Even though he did not know who was striking the ground, he wanted to learn this technique of strength. He was confident that this technique was the most suitable for him.
Lan Si could not see who was striking the ground, but Ling Que could see it from afar.
The Lingling Clan also had a Gate to the Burial Grounds. He had just arrived and had not intended to come in. He had slipped and accidentally fell in. He would never admit that he had been kicked in by the Spirit Palace.
As soon as they entered the burial garden, they were almost scared to death by the huge tremors. When they looked up, they saw the corpse of a giant swinging a wooden hammer on the ground.
At that moment, Ling Que was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Throughout his entire life of cultivation, he had never seen such a large giant before. Furthermore, it was a corpse. How could a corpse move?
Moreover, with this kind of physique, even if he did not cultivate, he could kill him with a slap. He held his breath and wanted to escape.
Fortunately, the giant did not seem to care about Ling Que at all. It continued to swing its wooden hammer on the ground, and for some unknown reason, the ground was filled with craters. Each crater was as large as a planet. "It would be hilarious if some unlucky person fell into one of these craters and got crushed to death," Ling Que thought to himself as he walked into the distance. He had to leave as soon as possible, as this place was not safe.
He had only taken a few steps when he tripped over something. He looked down and saw that there was a rope tied to the edge of the crater. Ling Que was curious, and he grabbed the rope and tugged on it. Something seemed to be tugging on the ground, and he tugged on it. The rope barely managed to pull out a bit, and he continued to tug, tug, and tug until he finally pulled it out.
A single sourcebox, a humanoid sourcebox, and that was not all. There was a string of humanoid sourceboxes.
Ling Que was stunned. What was this?
There were strings of sourceboxes?
Furthermore, they were all humanoid sourceboxes?
He had never seen so many humanoid sourceboxes in his entire life.
Whatever, it didn't matter. As long as it was a sourcebox, it was good stuff. Ling Que stuffed the string of humanoid sourceboxes into his cosmic ring and then started running. He did not even care that these humanoid sourceboxes did not contain any danger.
Not many people had entered Burial Garden, but as more people left, the situation within Burial Garden would be revealed, and more and more people would enter.
Lu Yin entered through the Burial Garden's gate that was located in the Ross Empire's ocean stronghold.
Shi San's description had led Lu Yin to guess that Burial Garden might be the place where he had once merged with the corpse and seen Progenitor Chen. He had to verify this.
According to Shi San's conjecture, after entering the Burial Garden's gate, one would not necessarily appear in a fixed location. This was because Lu Yin would not be able to reach Yima Planet in just a few days, so he should appear at random.
Lu Yin had brought the Second Nightking with him as a precaution, but when he looked around, the Second Nightking had disappeared. Sure enough, they had been randomly separated.
Lu Yin appeared on top of a shattered boulder, and as he looked around, he saw shattered rocks everywhere. It was as if they had been shattered by a tremendous force. These shattered rocks should have originated from the same boulder, which was why Lu Yin could not see the end of it. The boulder was very large, and it was comparable to a planet. Perhaps this was not a fragment of a boulder, but a fragment of a star.
Lu Yin randomly picked a direction and headed into the distance. He wanted to find the ocean.
Not long after, he suddenly stopped and became motionless. His eyes turned into runes as he looked around. His heart sank; he could not see any rune lines in Burial Garden. This place had isolated the Rune Progenitor's power.
Just now, he had sensed that something was following him, but even after releasing his domain and spiritual force, he still could not find it.
Lu Yin clenched his fists and continued walking forward, but then he stopped again. There was no mistaking it; something was definitely following him.
"Come out!" Lu Yin barked. He suddenly turned around, but there was nothing there. He squinted and spread out his fingers. His power shook the air, but there was still nothing.
Lu Yin waited in place for a while, but there was still no aura. He could only continue walking, but then he stopped again. He had sensed that something was following him, but what exactly was it?
"Which senior is joking with this junior?
Please show yourself, "Lu Yin said in a clear voice.
Still, there was no movement.
Lu Yin snorted and suddenly accelerated into the distance. At the same time, the Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet. He moved and instantly vanished from his original spot.
At the same spot where he had been standing, within a crack in the rubble, space distorted for a moment before returning to normal.
Lu Yin appeared in the distance and looked back, but he still could not see anything. However, the feeling of being followed had disappeared, and he relaxed. Just what was following him?
He was not too worried, as the other party had not made a move. Even if they did, he should be able to withstand it with his defenses. His miniature armor could defend against an attack with a power level of nearly 900,000, and he did not believe that any random enemy would be that powerful. If that was the case, then he could only blame himself for being unlucky.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and continued walking forward.
Far in front of Lu Yin, there was another pile of rubble, but there was a large piece of rubble. From the back, it did not look any different from the other rubble, but from the front, one could see that the rubble extended inwards, forming a set of battle technique movements.
Every movement was very clear, as if someone had used the rubble as a template and imprinted their own battle technique onto it.
At this moment, there was a middle-aged man standing in front of the rubble, his eyes burning as he stared at the battle technique imprinted on the rubble. His body unconsciously followed suit.
There were sixty-nine movements on the rubble, and the middle-aged man tried to perform them consecutively. His movements became faster and faster until they actually overlapped.
There was a corpse at the middle-aged man's feet, but it was not a corpse from the graveyard. Instead, it was someone who had just died. It was obvious that this person had been killed by the middle-aged man.
There were two more people hiding in the distance. One of them was an old man who looked at the middle-aged man's back in fear. His eyes were filled with killing intent, as if he was plotting something. The other person was a girl with a fish on her head. It was Xi Qi.
Xi Qi covered the fish's mouth with all her might to prevent it from speaking and exposing their location.
The fish continuously flapped its fins. It had been stifled for a long time and needed to speak, or else it would suffocate to death.
After waiting for a while, the middle-aged man became more and more familiar with the battle technique. The old man could not take it anymore and stepped forward, distorting the void. His body took on a strange shape, and with one finger as the center, he viciously charged towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Stop hiding." A circular weapon appeared in his hand and he threw it at the old man. The old man flipped his finger and kicked out with his right leg. "Get out of my way."
"Old thing, you're courting death." An imprint appeared behind the middle-aged man's back and easily blocked the old man's kick. He then struck out with his left hand, and a dark green light appeared on his palm. The old man reacted quickly and retrieved a shield-like object from his cosmic ring.
With a bang, the old man's body was sent flying while the middle-aged man retreated at the same time. The two were evenly matched.
Xi Qi's eyes widened. Both of them were Enlighters, and she hoped that they would both be injured. Otherwise, she would be in trouble. She did not believe that they had not discovered her.
"You're from the Sixth Mainland?" The old man was apprehensive.
The middle-aged man sneered. "So what if I am?"
The old man angrily rebuked, "The graveyard belongs to my Fifth Mainland. Are you trying to start a war by trespassing?"
The middle-aged man did not seem to mind. "The graveyard's door is not only open in the Innerverse, but also in the Outerverse. Why? Can't people from the Sixth Mainland enter?
Enough with the nonsense. I'll send you on your way. "He then raised his hand and made a pose that the old man had not expected. It was the same battle technique as the graveyard's battle technique.
The old man's pupils shrank, and he turned to leave. The Sixth Mainland had the advantage against the Fifth Mainland's cultivators, and his most powerful trump card was the shield. However, it had caved in after being struck by this person's palm. It was obvious that the shield would not be able to withstand the next attack, and if the old man insisted on fighting, he would only be courting death.
"Trying to run?"
The middle-aged man suddenly charged forward and used the graveyard's battle technique. His body turned into multiple afterimages that overlapped and struck out with a palm. This attack caused the old man to despair, and he immediately rushed towards Xi Qi, attempting to throw her over as a scapegoat.
Xi Qi cried out and tried to flee, but with her strength, she was unable to escape from two Enlighters.
Xi Qi was grabbed and thrown backwards by the old man, and her face turned pale.
Regardless of whether it was Xi Qi or the old man, the middle-aged man had to die. He struck out with his palm, and he was confident that this attack would not only pierce through the woman, but it would also kill the old man. The battle technique within the graveyard's graveyard allowed him to display power that was several times his own. At this moment, he knew that his future was different, and he could definitely join an even more powerful organization, such as a Cosmic Imprinter's family or even the Daosource Sect.
Xi Qi watched as the middle-aged man's palm approached her, and the fear of death made it difficult for her to breathe.
