2004 Planet of Death (1/2)
Linglong Xue walked to Qingfeng Li's side. ”I once read some ancient texts,” she said. ”They said that the Sun Monarch from five thousand years ago wasn't native to Mars. That he came from some other saint level planet. They said that he was the first disciple of a saint.”
Hearing Linglong Xue's words, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly as he pondered to himself. The truth was, he had suspected long ago that the Sun Monarch wasn't a native of Mars. This was because the sarcophagus he was buried in was made from saint level materials.
There were no saint level materials in all of the Crimson Fire Continent. If there had been any, they would have been found by the Crimson Fire Emperor. Then, the bastard would have become a Saint long ago instead of staying at the peak of the ninth level of the monarch realm.
However, although the Crimson Fire Emperor hadn't reached the Saint Realm, he controlled the fate of the entire planet. He was the ruler of this planet's heaven and earth. Even if he were to encounter an ordinary Saint, he could still fight them as an equal.
Qingfeng Li looked ahead at the planet filled with a deathly aura. There were bones everywhere. Astonishingly, every living thing on the planet had been exterminated by the Saint. Humans, animals, plants and everything else; they had all died. Their essences and souls were all gone, leaving only piles of bleached bones behind. The entire place seemed especially terrifying, dark and cold.
Qingfeng Li sighed. ”Linglong Xue,” he said, ”do you know what planet this is?”
Linglong Xue lifted a brow. Twin beams of blood-colored light shot out from her eyes, sweeping over the space in all directions. She observed the planet before them in detail, studying its material composition.
After a moment, Linglong Xue replied, ”Where we're currently standing, the soil below our feet is all yin-aligned. There is a massive amount of baleful yin energy within the ground, and it's seeping out from far below. Look, there's a significant amount of fog in front of us.”
Qingfeng Li and Huozhu Chi both looked in the direction Linglong Xue was pointing in. True to her word, they found a trace of black baleful energy ahead of them.
The baleful energy rose from the ground. The moment it came into contact with the bleached bones on the ground, they were all corroded into bone-dust.
Even solid stone and massive dead plants were being turned to dust by this baleful yin energy. It seemed that this energy contained some unfathomable power.
Huozhu Chi's face was stark pale as he sucked in a sharp breath, backing away. ”True-Yin Baleful Energy,” he said, surprised. ”I'd never have thought that I'd see the legendary True-Yin Baleful Energy here.”
Qingfeng Li also backed away, color draining from his face.
To the self-cultivators of in the self-cultivation world, True-Yin Baleful Energy was no doubt a terrifying thing.
Between heaven and earth, there is yin and yang; black and white. Yang represented fire, which had a searing heat that could burn anything. Yin represented water, balefulness. Yin could become a powerful baleful energy that would enter the body, resulting in death by freezing.
Qingfeng Li remembered what Dark Night Emperor had once told him. True-Yin Baleful Energy was an extremely valuable substance found only on planets where Sages resided. It would never have formed on ordinary planets.
Now, massive amounts of True-Yin Baleful Energy had appeared on this dead planet. Could it be that this was once the home of a Saint? Otherwise, how could one explain this?
In addition, this massive planet was located inside the Bronze Sarcophagus. This meant that the Bronze Sarcophagus was a powerful Saint level item in its own right, one that held a massive space within. Otherwise, it would never have been able to withstand this massive planet.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue all grew grim. They now knew that they had arrived on the planet of a Saint. This was no longer the Crimson Fire Continent. This place was dangerous.
