Chapter 571: Ancient Gods and Devils

Yang Ling furrowed his brows. He mulled this over, but he still couldn’t understand the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ affair.

“The Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ is more complicated than we think, and ordinary people can only travel in the outer periphery. Even though we have come here innumerable times, we still couldn’t understand the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ true situation,” the Sword God chuckled bitterly and paused for a moment before he said, “However, I have heard Mr. Raymond talking about its general situation long ago.”

When the Sword God Gerald discerned that the numerous clansmen with Sacred-Level or Domain-Level power couldn’t continue walking, he allowed them to rest here for a while, before he sat between trees and started recounting to people the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ generation situation. He uncovered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ mysterious veil!

It turned out that the Graveyard of Gods and Devils had a very long history and its history surpassed by much the numerous planes. It was said that in ancient times, the Graveyard of Gods and Devils was a Plane with a large expanse filled with rich resources. Many Magical Beasts and intelligent races lived there, and one day, the Ancient Gods and Devils started fighting out of the blue, and they carried out an intense battle.

That battle was earth-shattering and even the world’s landscape was changed by it.

The tall mountains were flattened due to the Ancient Gods and Devils’ fights, and rivers’ flow path was changed, while many innumerable spatial crevices were made in the Plane. This was a large disaster and innumerable Ancient Gods and Devils died, while only a few of the intelligent races survived. A Plane with a beautiful environment was turned into a unique great graveyard.

After the battle, the whole Plane turned into ruins, and Turbulent Spatial Flows that rushed forth through the spatial crevices ran amok everywhere. They created terrifying Spatial Storms, and this was why some places had a gravitational anomaly, and even an expert with a High-Level Deity’s power couldn’t move easily there, while in some other places, one would float and wouldn’t suffer gravity’s influence.

After innumerable years, some spatial crevices healed by themselves, while others were stabilized by peerless powerhouses with great magical abilities so that they could use them. They formed innumerable Planes Channels that were used by the people to enter the Graveyard of Gods and Devils.

In addition, the surviving intelligent races and Magical Beasts went through a mutation, and their descendants got all kinds of strange innate gifts, while some even evolved into terrifying demons.

After the disaster, the Plane became unusually brimming with energy. The reason behind this might have been of the Turbulent Spatial Flows’ energy, and it might also have been a large amount of energy released by Ancient Gods and Devils upon their death. In any case, the plentiful energy attracted all Planes’ experts. Some people came over to look for Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons, while others came to train in seclusion in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. After innumerable years, the number of people staying in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils rose higher, and its situation turned more complex.

“Mr. Gerald, since innumerable people came to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils in the past years, shouldn’t all Godheads and Divine Weapons have been plundered by them? Is there still any significance behind our entry?” Even though the Sword God spoke for a long time, Yang Ling was still confused, and he felt like this matter wasn’t as simple as what the Sword God stated.

“It’s significant. It’s obviously significant.” The Sword God looked at the confused Yang Ling and spoke, “After the passing of long years, people forestalled us to many Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons. But, there are still numerous Godheads and Divine Weapons left behind, and it’s up to one’s luck whether he will manage to get them.”

The Sword God Gerald looked at the crowd that wore a grave expression and took a breath before he said, “There are three reasons why Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons are left up to this day. The first is that they are spread throughout the whole Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and none knows where they are buried. The second reason is that some are in the depths of the Graveyard of Gods and Devils and none could go inside to seek them. The last reason is that they are protected by a large number of demons or Magical Beasts.”

“Mr. Gerald, could it be that the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ depths are so terrifying that even an expert with an apex High-Level Deity’s power isn’t able to go there?” The Corpse Wizard King looked in confusion at the Sword God.

“The inner periphery is vast like the outer periphery and even the legendary Divine Lords can’t enter some places there, let alone a powerhouse with a High-Level Deity’s power.” The Sword God tried hard to recall what Raymond had said in the past. He had no idea about the concrete situation, but he was still aware that ordinary people weren’t able to venture into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ depths.

In the past, the Sword God was in the prime of youth, and he joined hands with several brothers to venture into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ depths. They hoped to get by chance a Godhead or Divine Weapon of Ancient Gods and Devils. But, after they walked just half the road, they suffered a surprise attack from a group of God-Level Magical Beasts, and he was the sole person that managed to escape by luck from the five-person team.

“Mr. Gerald, what do you mean by the last reason you mentioned? Ancient Gods and Devils have already died. So, why are they protected by a large number of demons and Magical Beasts?” Yang Ling questioned the Sword God that sat opposite to him.

“Ancient Gods and Devils’ abilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us.” The Sword God shook his head and paused for a moment before he said, “It’s said that even though some powerful Ancient Gods and Devils died, they left behind a wisp of their Divine Consciousness and they summoned a large number of guards or Magical Beasts to protect their corpses. They hoped to come back to life one day.”

“There are still some Ancient Gods and Devils who asked in advance their disciples or Demonic Pets to protect their Godheads and Divine Weapons after their death. It’s said that the Abyssal Demon Lord had died in the past, but he left behind a wisp of his Divine Consciousness, and he forcefully summoned a large number of demons and Protective Spirits from the Abyssal Plane to guard his main body that would shortly dissipate.”

Could Ancient Gods and Devils come back to life?

Yang Ling found this unbelievable, and he shook his head. Even an ordinary Abyssal Demon like Barr was so powerful, and it was really unimaginable how great was the fighting prowess of the Abyssal Demon Lord.

“Yang Ling, picking by chance the Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons will be the best for us, but you still shouldn’t try to get one at all cost, and you mustn’t take risks and venture into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ depths.” The Sword God looked at Yang Ling that entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils for the first time and gave him a kind warning.

The Sword God quieted for a moment before he said, “The Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ Magical Beasts are different from other Planes’ beasts, and their Essence Crystal contained an unusually large amount of Soul Energy. They were rare and our main objective behind entering the Graveyard of Gods and Devils every time isn’t finding Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons, but hunting down all kinds of Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystal. And we could hunt and kill a God-Level Magical Beast and get its Godhead. This would be better.”

“That is right, this is also our trip’s objective.” The Chief Elven Priestess agreed to what the Sword God had said.

The Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God were Mid-Level Deities that entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils many times, and they were aware that they couldn’t get the Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads and Divine Weapons through hard work. This is why it was better to seize the time to hunt several God-Level Magical Beasts.

It was only the people that entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils for the first time and weren’t aware of its situation that would run around everywhere to look for a Godhead of Ancient Gods and Devils. In general, these kinds of people would usually die quicker than the others, and they wouldn’t just fail to get a Godhead of Ancient Gods and Devils, they would even lose their lives.

“You can be at ease. I will be careful.” When Yang Ling saw the worried Chief Elven Priestess looking at him, he smiled and started pondering over this. If he could kill several God-Level Magical Beasts, the Corpse Wizard King, beauty Sala and others would manage to advance into God-Level. This was why he couldn’t help but wonder whether he would be able at that time to venture into the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ depths with the Magical Beast Army.

He would surely hunt and kill Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals, but he still mustn’t miss Ancient Gods and Devils’ Godheads.

Yang Ling got to enter the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and this was a rare opportunity. This was why he couldn’t accept to go back empty-handed. Even though in theory, he would be able to use the Teleportation Gate to travel freely between the Graveyard of Gods and Devils and Magical Beast Territory after he left a Soul Imprint here, but he still didn’t try this, and none knew whether it was feasible.

After the crowd led by the Sword God Gerald rested for an hour, they quickly set off toward the small lake in the vicinity. They planned to set up a camp there for several days and wait until their injuries recovered before making another plan. After all, as long as three great Mid-Level Deities, the Sword God, Chief Elven Priestess, and Hydra recovered, they would be safer by much no matter if they decided to advance or retreat.

The lake wasn’t big, and it was just as big as a football field. But, its water was limpid, and the air here was fresh. Some sheep-like animals were here, and they lowered their heads as they ate the grass near the lake. When they saw the crowd, they just cried out several times lazily, and they didn’t seem afraid of them.

“Hurry up! Podocor, you and those few people should cut wood and contrast several wooden houses here. Hurry up!”

“Push that large bounder into another side and construct a base here.”

…

After the crowd washed their faces by the lake, they started bustling. Some people were building wooden houses, while others were leveling off the land, and others killed several sheep to roast them. After the crowd discerned that danger wasn’t lurking in the vicinity, they heaved a sigh of relief!

They were always scared and on edge since they entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. They had first met a large number of running beasts before they ran into a terrifying Abyssal Demon. When they hid in the forest, they managed to narrowly evade a large group of demons’ detection, and soon after, they were frightened by a Silver Ring Venomous Snake.

They were exhausted, both physically and mentally!

After the crowd relaxed, some people started bustling, while others laid on the ground or against a giant boulder to rest. They had all seen with their own eyes Colke’s outcome, and none dared to lean against a tree. They were afraid that they would be swallowed by a large python!

Roar!

When the crowd just loosened up thoroughly, roars transmitted from the forest and a large group of beasts as big as a calf rushed out of the forest.

Those beasts had hard, and sharps thorns atop their backs, and their bodies were covered by heavy armor-like dense black scales. There were six eyes as big as a hen’s egg on their faces, and they emitted scarlet radiance. They seemed quite dangerous, and their shape resembled a lion, but their heads were different. It was unknown what kind of monster those were!
