Chapter 1059: Chapter 1049: White Bone Road
All things are bound to mutually reinforce and counterbalance one another.
Previously, when Chen Hai probed the black mist at the mountain path’s edge, he felt his limbs corroding, unable to withstand it. The primary reason was his lack of a suitable method to counteract it.
But now, suspecting a link between this black mist and the Black Water Mysterious River Array, and having a certain understanding of its essence, merely dealing with the black mist wafting from both sides of the mountain path posed little difficulty for him.
“The human heart is the most complex, and in a certain sense, the Six Desires can be called the source of evil.”
“With the Six Desires protecting me, this trivial black mist, just devour it!”
Taking a deep breath and staring at the black mist shrouding the path ahead, Chen Hai let out a low roar.
A ghastly pale giant human face shot out from his body.
Suspended in the void before him, the face opened its mouth, inhaling forcefully.
Like rivers converging into the sea, the dense black mist swirling on the mountain path surged frantically, pouring into the wide-open mouth of the human face.
With the black mist’s shroud gone, the rugged mountain path before them became considerably clearer.
Only at this moment did everyone notice that the ground beneath them was neither rock nor soil but was paved with countless white bones.
They remembered clearly that when they first entered the Land of Slumber, they were stepping on solid ground made of mountain rock. At some unknown point, the original mountain path had completely transformed into this White Bone Road.
The countless bones appeared gruesomely eerie.
Most of the skeletons were scattered, but some bones were more or less intact, barely revealing what they looked like in life.
“These are Taotie’s bones, and not just one or two.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
“On the Primordial Land, the Taotie race has long vanished; it turns out their extinction occurred here.”
“And this, if I’m not mistaken, this section of the White Bone Road is paved with Qiongqi’s bones.”
“Could it be that the white bones composing this Great Path all originate from those ancient clans that have disappeared from the river of history?”
“It’s indeed possible. The disappearance of those powerful ancient clans on the Primordial Land was initially an unsolved mystery.”
“If this place is truly the Land of Slumber for the Primordial Heavenly Path, these ancient clans might have been buried here as funeral offerings for all eternity.”
The White Bone Road, unobscured by the black mist, utterly astonished everyone.
Along this path, with each short distance onward, exclamations of awe sporadically erupted.
The black mist on both sides of the Great Path remained, but the monstrous creatures hidden within were no longer seen.
The likely reason is that most of the black mist spreading onto the White Bone Road was devoured cleanly by Chen Hai’s giant human face.
After all, those monstrous creatures would start attacking everyone when the black mist enveloped the Great Path, completely covering the countless white bones on the ground.
Perhaps those monstrous creatures within the black mist only appear in places where the mist exists.
Like the Black Water Lineage’s Black Water Mysterious River Array, the fierce beasts transformed by its disciples usually only roam within the Black Water.
While they are capable of attacking enemies beyond the Black Water, their strength significantly diminishes outside it, and they lose the ability to continuously regenerate. In such cases, unless forced, no one is willing to do so.
Judging by the toad that perished at his hands earlier, it seems the ferocious creatures within the Black Water possess little intelligence and act purely on instinct.
Under such circumstances, once the black mist over the Great Path was mostly cleared, fully revealing the white bones underneath, those ferocious creatures no longer appeared, which indeed seems logical.
Centered around Chen Hai, Ancestor Kugu and Lu Yingtian, among others, clustered around him.
Previously, when they all worked together, although they successfully dealt with a massive black snake within the black mist, they were aware that its strength was mediocre, far inferior to the toad Chen Hai had previously struck down.
After a moment of fleeting joy, they quickly came to terms with their reality.
During their time in the Land of Slumber, their group had already lost three Quasi-Saints. Given the current situation, acting recklessly would only lead them down the same path as their departed comrades.
With Chen Hai as a golden anchor willing to offer protection, they naturally wanted to hold on tightly.
Although the white bone road, unveiled by the absence of the black mist, no longer showed those monstrous creatures hidden within the surrounding mist, they remained cautiously vigilant.
Continuing forward on this White Bone Road, the group proceeded unceasingly.
Except for the ever-larger bones beneath their feet, with remnants of lingering auras growing ever more terrifying, they encountered no other surprises or danger.
Amidst calm, time gradually began to slip away…
On the Primordial Land, within the Endless Sea, below the submarine crack.
Near the Land of Slumber’s entrance, amidst the pitch-black seawater, several figures began to emerge stealthily.
“Emperor Pan, are you sure the Primordial Heavenly Path has not awakened and remains slumbering?”
Gazing at the Land of Slumber’s entrance not far off, resembling an oceanic whirlpool, the few wore serious expressions. After a moment of silence, one of them spoke.
The speaker was called the Sky Splitting Great Saint, not among the few Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm individuals who manifested in the grand palace on the Mysterious Turtle’s back.
Among the three before them, only Emperor Pan Ancestor had been in the grand palace atop the Mysterious Turtle’s back that day.
At this moment, the Sky Splitting Great Saint and another named Sea Covering Great Saint both fixed their gazes on Emperor Pan Ancestor.
“Sky Split, Sea Cover, you should know well what kind of person I, Emperor Pan, am.”
“To be honest, some of those Quasi-Saints who entered the slumbering area have my eyes parasitically implanted on them.”
“After they entered, I could clearly see everything happening through those eyes.”
“For those Quasi-Saints, there are indeed considerable risks, but as long as we Primordial Chaos Daluo are cautious and don’t awaken the Heavenly Path, there will absolutely be no danger.”
“With just our little strength, if we follow the agreement and rendezvous with the other Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm individuals before entering, others will feast while we may not even get a bone to gnaw.”
“Fortune favors the bold; if we enter ahead and get lucky enough to seize some Primordial Origin from the slumbering Heavenly Path, we will indeed strike it rich!”
With words laden with temptation, Emperor Pan Ancestor explained to the two beside him.
