Chapter 377: Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse (1)

Human language!

The words spoken by the tall leader were actually the universal language of humans.

Although he was very unnatural, like a foreigner speaking another country’s language, it was indeed human language.

Surprised, Su Jingxing replied with a question, “You are the Winged Ones?”

“You know that we are the Winged Ones?” The tall leader was delighted, but he thought of something and quickly restrained himself. He asked again, “Are you a human spiritual martial artist?”

“So what if I am and so what if I’m not?” Su Jingxing replied coolly.

“You are definitely a human spiritual martial artist!”

The tall leader’s eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, “Human divine martial artists can’t enter this place. There are very few human spiritual martial artists. I’ve only heard from my ancestors that human spiritual martial artists have powerful physical bodies and can be comparable to that of Spirit Race experts. The source of the name “spiritual martial arts” comes from the Spirit Race!”

There’s such a thing?

Su Jingxing was surprised. He could sense that the tall leader wasn’t lying.

There was nothing to lie about.

In other words, the origin of a spiritual martial artist was really related to the Spirit Race.

The Spirit Clan was another race that he had never come into contact with.

At the very least, there was no such race on Earth Star’s continents. This race probably came from another human world.

So far, Su Jingxing finally understood that there were many worlds, or planets, where humans lived outside of Earth Star.

For example, in the Black Flame Caves, the desolate world where he had a strange dream about was a planet where humans lived.

The humans on Earth Star were just one member of the human race.

Be it the Winged Ones or the demons, they were all from other worlds.

However, unlike the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect that descended directly from space, the Winged Ones and the demons had most likely come to Earth Star through the Void World.

And it was unknown how many more similar existences there were.

Su Jingxing pondered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

“That’s right. I’m a spiritual martial artist. What do you mean when you said that divine martial artists can’t come here?”

“Literally what it means,” said the tall leader in a deep voice. “I’m Sha Lou. May I know your name?”

“Huang Tianhua.” Su Jingxing habitually used his new alias.

“So you’re Huang Tianhua,” said Sha Lou in a low voice. “The attack earlier was just a precautionary measure to see if you were from an ancient site. Now I’ve cleared things up, you’re a human spiritual martial artist. My apologies, I hope you can forgive me.”

“…It’s fine. Since it’s a misunderstanding, all is good now that we’ve cleared things up.”

Su Jingxing’s lips twitched, but he had no intention of pursuing the matter.

Although the sneak attack earlier was filled with killing intent at the beginning, there was indeed no killing intent later on.

And Su Jingxing could sense that this leader of the Winged Ones called Sha Lou was also in the Transcendent-grade!

As for whether he was inclined towards the physical body or the soul,

Su Jingxing couldn’t tell.

He had only learned a little about this race through the Bone Demon’s memories.

However, their exact habits, characteristics, and path to becoming stronger were unknown.

Now that Sha Lou did not show any malice, Su Jingxing did not want to gain another unknown enemy for no reason.

Naturally, he wouldn’t be so free as to insist on killing him.

…

“Everyone, stand down.”

Sha Lou waved his hand and asked the other Winged Ones to retreat.

“My friend, this way please.” Sha Lou extended his hand and invited, “This is not the place to talk. How about we go up the mountain?”

“Sure.” Su Jingxing nodded and followed behind.

The two of them quickly left the altar and went up to a platform at the top of the mountain.

“I didn’t expect a human to come here after more than ten thousand years.”

Sha Lou looked at the distant sky and sighed. “My friend, you might be very puzzled as to why I asked that earlier, right?”

Without waiting for Su Jingxing’s answer, he continued, “Because this is a sealed place!”

“A sealed place?” Su Jingxing was puzzled.

“Yes, the area that seals the Heavenly Demons.”

Sha Lou said in a low voice, “More than 10,000 years ago, a Heavenly Demon descended into this world. Human experts fought for decades, and more than 100,000 people died before they killed the Heavenly Demon. However, the corpses of the Heavenly Demons cannot be destroyed, and over time, they can be revived. Therefore, through a secret method, we barely managed to split the Heavenly Demon’s corpse into three pieces and seal them in three areas. This place is one of them!”

Su Jingxing didn’t show any surprise on his face, but he was shocked inwardly.

He didn’t expect such a secret to exist.

“Heavenly Demon? Heavenly Demon ancient sites?” Su Jingxing murmured.

“Yes, there is a ruin not far from here. That’s where the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse is sealed.”

Sha Lou pointed in the direction Su Jingxing had come from and said in a deep voice, “The Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse has been buried underground for more than 10,000 years. It hasn’t been damaged for such a long time. Under its influence, this area has been corroded and life has mutated. The reason why our race has become like this is because we were affected by it.

“It’s been more than 10,000 years. No one has been able to leave this place. The area within a thousand miles’ radius has become a land of peril.

“Back then, when the human experts sealed the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, they also sealed the entire region to prevent it from recovering too quickly.

“At first, we could still enter and exit this area, but later, due to the influence of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse, we were no longer able to do so.

“The reason why the Winged Ones are trapped here is because you people barged in without knowing?” Su Jingxing was curious.

“Yes.”

Shalou replied calmly, “When our ancestors heard that the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse would give birth to a treasure medicine, they brought people over to guard it to make it convenient to retrieve the treasure medicine when it matured. In the end, they were trapped here and could not leave anymore. The clansmen who remained were then affected by the aura of the Broken Heavenly Demon Corpse and slowly mutated. In the end, their wings fell off and they became like this.”
