In the depths of the Myriad Beast Graveyard.
The heavens and earth here were shrouded in dense deathly aura at all times, with a greyish-black colour spreading out to the end of one's sight. It was as if this place had abandoned all vitality.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, whooshing sounds rang out in the deathly silence as several silhouettes streaked across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they tore apart the deathly aura and headed towards the depths of the Myriad Beast Graveyard.
This group of people was naturally Mu Chen's group that had left the Myriad Treasure Lake and was heading towards the so-called God's Cemetery.
"We should be in the depths of the Myriad Beast Graveyard, and the God's Cemetery isn't far away."
Mu Chen stood at the front of the team with a black light flickering between his brows. Although he did not activate the Life-Extinguishing Pupil, he could still see through the deathly aura and sense the situation within a myriad feet to avoid the Beast Spirits in the depths of the Myriad Beast Graveyard.
Behind him, Jiu You, Han Shan and the rest nodded their heads. They did not doubt Mu Chen's words in the slightest. The smooth journey made them wonder if they were really in the Divine Beast Origin's ominous grounds.
Naturally, they knew that it was all because of Mu Chen's foresight. If it wasn't for him scouting the area ahead of them and choosing the safest route, they would have been drowned by the Beast Spirits many times over.
"I'm afraid that some teams have already arrived at the God's Cemetery."
Jiu You looked at the greyish-black deathly aura in the distance. He had no idea what terrifying things were hidden in the darkness.
At this moment, there should be other teams that have already arrived.
Mu Chen nodded his head.
Although they had surpassed many teams, they could only barely keep up with the teams that were in the lead.
That's because even he had to admit that the lineups of those teams were much stronger than them.
Furthermore, the leaders of those teams were true geniuses.
They basically represented the strongest amongst the geniuses that had entered the Divine Beast Origin.
Even someone as powerful as Kim Jung-cheon would retreat in fear when facing these geniuses.
The opponents they would face in the God's Cemetery this time would most likely be the top geniuses of the Divine Beast Origin.
It was obviously not an easy task to stand out among them and obtain the item they were fighting for.
However, even though it was difficult, it did not cause Mu Chen to feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, the blood in his body seemed to faintly boil, while high spirited fighting intent gushed out from the depths of his heart. The path of the strong was to conquer mountains that ordinary people would find difficult to reach.
Through those trials and tribulations, one would be able to wash away one's impurities, and one would become resplendent and dazzling in the end, obtaining immortality.
Whoosh!
His blood was boiling.
However, Mu Chen's speed did not decrease at all. He transformed into a streak of light and flashed past the greyish black mountains.
By the time the Beast Spirit in the mountain sensed them, the group of people had already disappeared into the horizon.
Just when Mu Chen's group's speed started to slow …
Four hours later, they descended from the peak of a mountain shrouded in a greyish-black forest.
Thereafter, he looked into the distance with a grave expression.
The land was no longer greyish black, but a dark-red colour.
The dark-red colour was like blood that had dyed the land for tens of thousands of years. Furthermore, the blood wasn't ordinary blood, but came from supreme existences. That's because the entire land was enveloped in a powerful pressure. Under that pressure, even with the protection of the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits, Mu Chen felt a little suffocating.
There were numerous bottomless ravines on the ground. It was so much so that even the space here was distorted and shattered. This was due to the destruction of the battle that had once erupted here. Even after tens of thousands of years, this place still couldn't recover to its original state.
The deathly aura that lingered in this region wasn't greyish black, but a faint red colour. It was the remnant will of many supreme existences that couldn't be cleansed even by death.
In the red deathly aura that spread out, there were numerous towering towers that stood like a forest. They seemed to have formed a barrier that isolated this region from the outside world. The red deathly aura that spread out couldn't spread out at all. Similarly, the greyish black deathly aura couldn't invade in the slightest.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as a black light flickered on the centre of his brows. He looked at the towering towers with a grave expression. With the Life-Extinguishing Pupil, he naturally knew that those weren't towering towers, but pieces of greyish white bones.
The owners of these bones couldn't be confirmed, but at least one thing was certain, they didn't belong to a single Divine Beast. Instead, they were formed from the bones of numerous Divine Beasts. These bones surrounded this area like a cemetery, guarding the fallen.
"This is the God's Cemetery?"
Nine Nether looked at the vast graveyard with shock on her face. Compared to the graveyard, they were as tiny as ants. The shock she felt was indescribable.
"It should be right."
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head. Thereafter, he turned his head towards another direction. In that direction, he could vaguely sense some Spiritual Energy ripples. Clearly, there was an endless stream of teams making their way over.
"Looks like the news of the God's Cemetery has spread out. There seem to be many powerful teams making their way over."
When Han Shan saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing. Right now, there would probably be nearly half of the teams in the Divine Beast Origin here.
"This matter can't be concealed."
Mu Chen wasn't surprised by this. Although the top-tiered Divine Beast Clans were well-informed, a tall tree would attract the wind. Every single one of their actions would be paid attention to. Previously, they had even entered the Myriad Beast Graveyard, so how could others not have guessed it?
However, Mu Chen also understood that the teams of the top-tiered Divine Beast Clans might not have intentionally concealed this news. After all, the God's Cemetery was a dangerous place, and if they wanted to make a fortune, they wouldn't have any capabilities.
Otherwise, they would just be sending their entire team to their graves.
Others were greedy and wanted to court death.
The teams of the top-tiered Divine Beast Clans would naturally watch from the sidelines.
"Let's go there."
Mu Chen's gaze suddenly focused on a region outside the God's Cemetery.
Towering rocks stood there with Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from it. Evidently, that was the place where many teams had gathered.
Although Mu Chen and the rest knew some information about the God's Cemetery, it wasn't too clear. So it was best not to rashly try and follow behind the majority.
When Jiu You and the rest saw this, they had no objections and nodded their heads.
Mu Chen's silhouette flew out.
He took the lead and flew towards that region. A few minutes later, his silhouette landed on a huge rock with Jiu You and the rest closely following behind.
When they landed in this region, only then did Mu Chen and the rest realise that there were so many teams that had rushed over. Instantly, they were a little startled.
There were groups of people standing on those giant rocks, and there were both large and small numbers of people.
However, they were clearly separated from each other. Furthermore, the number of teams was also extremely shocking. What made Mu Chen shocked was that these teams.
Their formations could be considered powerful, and they couldn't be underestimated.
Since they could reach the God's Cemetery in the first echelon, then they naturally possessed considerable strength.
Mu Chen's gaze swept out.
After sweeping his gaze around the area, a thought flashed through his mind.
His gaze involuntarily shifted to the deepest part of the mountain. Over there …
There were several gigantic boulders that looked like stone platforms. At this moment, there were several figures quietly seated on each of those boulders.
When Mu Chen's gaze swept over them, his eyes involuntarily narrowed and his skin tensed up. It was a reaction from his physical body sensing a threat.
"Those are the top-tiered clans in the Spiritual Beast Realm."
Jiu You said in a low voice. At this moment, her face was solemn. Clearly, she was also exceptionally fearful of those top-tiered clans. If the God's Cemetery really contained the inheritance blood essence of the Undying Bird, then those people would probably be the greatest powerhouses.
Mu Chen nodded his head without any expression. His gaze was first attracted by a group of silhouettes. Those people were rather peculiar because their pupils were multi-coloured with a crystalline lustre lingering on them, emitting a mysterious power.
At the very front of those people sat an elegant and fairy-like woman. She wore azure clothes and had exquisite features. Her entire body emitted a beautiful and noble aura that no one would blaspheme.
"That's the Nine-coloured Peacock Clan. Among the bird-type Divine Beasts, their bloodline is noble and not inferior to the Phoenix Clan," Jiu You said in a low voice.
Mu Chen nodded. The Nine-coloured Peacock Clan's bloodline was powerful and not inferior to the Phoenix Clan. However, they were slightly less famous than the Phoenix Clan.
"Those over there should be the Babel Ape Clan."
Mu Chen looked in another direction and saw that there were only two figures on a stone platform. They were all skinny and held stone rods in their hands. They looked ordinary, but Mu Chen could sense dense dangerous fluctuations from them.
The Babel Ape Clan was also a top-tiered clan in the Spiritual Beast Realm.
"There's also … the Kunpeng Clan."
Mu Chen's gaze shifted towards the stone platform on the right. There were several figures indolently standing there. Although they appeared to be indolent, when their gazes swept past, one could sense the frightening sharpness under that laziness.
The Kunpeng Clan was also a top-tiered clan. They possessed a domineering top-tier bloodline and had wings that could chase after the sun and moon. No one could match their speed.
Mu Chen's gaze paused at the very front of the Kunpeng Clan. There was a man seated with his eyes closed. His hair was a little white, and he seemed to lack some sharpness compared to his companions beside him. However, with his extraordinary senses, Mu Chen could sense that this person was likely the most unfathomable person in the Kunpeng Clan group.
"That should be the Heavenly Divine Crane Clan …"
"… …"
Mu Chen's gaze swept across them one by one as his expression grew more and more grave. In the end, he couldn't help sighing. These people were truly the prides of the heavens. Compared to ordinary people, they possessed an innate advantage.
Amongst the numerous powerful groups gathered here, they had directly occupied the best position. Although they didn't seem to be fighting for it, their domineering aura was something that no one dared to doubt.
Mu Chen sighed as he directed his gaze towards the stone platform at the front. But this time, before he could cast his gaze over, he sensed a cold gaze that pierced through space and instantly caused the surrounding air around him to turn cold.
Mu Chen's brows slowly knitted together as he raised his head. His black pupils looked into the distance and saw the members of the Phoenix Clan standing proudly on the stone platform at the very front. At this moment, a man in blue clothes was staring at him with a blade-like gaze that seemed as if it wanted to pierce through him.
The blue-clothed man gently waved the icy-blue feathered fan in his hand as a chilling aura lingered around him. His indifferent voice caused a chilling aura to abruptly spread in this region.
"You were the one who was spying on us earlier, right?"
