The Ancient Zombie Emperor

Only after four hours did the beast tide stop.

Tens of thousands of vicious beasts were crossing the border, and the land was in ruins. Old forests were destroyed, mountains collapsed, and it was an apocalyptic scene.

When Xiao Mu came out from the underground cave, he saw the scene in front of him. Tens of thousands of fierce beasts had gone berserk. Something big must have happened in the depths of Forbidden Ridge.

Under the urge of his curiosity, Xiao Mu decided to head deeper into the Forbidden Ridge to take a closer look. The moment he discovered any dangerous existences, he would immediately withdraw.

Xiao Mu walked for two hours with the collapsed mountain range and scarred land in front of him. Gradually, the smell of blood became stronger in the air, as if he was in a battlefield of death. Xiao Mu felt his scalp go numb.

In front of him was a broken mountain range, a collapsed mountain ridge, and a family that was covered in blood.

The corpse of a Sixth level vicious beast lay in a pool of blood, as if it had experienced a great terror while alive. The fear in its widened eyes had yet to dissipate.

Immediately after, Xiao Mu found even more sixth stage and even more Stage Seven Vicious Beast corpses.

In the eyes of martial practitioners, they were synonymous with terrifying power. But now, they had died a horrible death. Their flesh and blood were instantly destroyed by a force, and the ground was littered with broken bones. It was hard to imagine what kind of power this was!

"That's the Grade Eight Vicious Beast, Golden Horned Rhino!" Xiao Mu saw a golden horned beast lying lifelessly in a pool of blood, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

A deep sense of fear rose in his heart.

The Grade Eight Vicious Beast s had all lost their lives in the depths of Forbidden Ridge, and the so-called sturdy and undying golden horn had been broken as well.

On the broken ground, there was a fault formed by an enormous shockwave. Xiao Mu looked into the distance and said in shock, "This fault was as large as the radius of a hundred meters!"

What kind of shockwave could cause such a tragedy!?

After walking forward a hundred meters, Xiao Mu found the corpse of the Grade Nine Vicious Beast.

The Grade Nine Vicious Beast had also died here!

All of these corpses had their lives obliterated by a terrifying force in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, his face blazing with fire. Grade Nine Vicious Beast were normally an existence at the level of an overlord, so almost no one in Flowing Moon Sect dared to bother about them. However, they had all died tragically here.

To Xiao Mu, these corpses were like a delicious feast, containing corpse energy that was tens of times stronger than Fourth Stage Vicious Beast s. If he was able to devour their soul, Xiao Mu's strength would instantly skyrocket to a terrifying level.

However, Xiao Mu was bound to be disappointed.

Circulating the Ten-Thousand Corpse Mantra, Xiao Mu felt it carefully. The corpse energy on the Grade Nine Vicious Beast's body was instantly devoured by the life force, and even its soul essence was completely destroyed.

"What a pity." Xiao Mu sighed.

However, when Xiao Mu checked the corpse of a Grade Nine Vicious Beast, he was pleasantly surprised. This Grade Nine Vicious Beast still had a trace of spirit energy left.

Xiao Mu immediately absorbed this remnant soul essence. In an instant, his four limbs and bones were filled with boundless energy, as vast as the ocean. After a while, Xiao Mu's cultivation had already broken through to the early Fourth Stage of the Unmoving Body Refinement Realm!

There was still seventy percent of his soul that had not been refined. Xiao Mu sealed it within his dantian, waiting to be refined in the future.

With his current realm, forcefully refining all of the Grade Nine Vicious Beast's Soul Essence would cause Xiao Mu's body to explode, and he would die.

After a while, Xiao Mu arrived at a broken mountain that was dyed in blood.

There were even more corpses of fierce beasts here, and a few of them were emitting traces of Qi, causing Xiao Mu's eyelids to jump, this was … A corpse that surpassed Grade Nine Vicious Beast s! Its enormous body was like a mountain as it swept across. A terrifying aura surged through the heavens from within the corroded flesh and blood!

As their blood flowed out, the billowing infernal energy in their blood filled the broken mountain, turning the wind that blew past into a fiendish wind. If a martial artist breathed in, their body would fester.

A barely noticeable black light flashed, and all of the baleful wind that had entered Xiao Mu's body was completely refined.

Even so, Xiao Mu still felt unwell.

In front of the piles of corpses, there were pieces of broken rocks. A stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Mu on the broken ground.

This was a monolith that was filled with the mottled aura of time. It was not possible to trace what it was left behind, but the words written on it made Xiao Mu's heart fill with horror. He could not understand a single one of the words on it.

It was as if he did not belong to this era!

About thirty meters away, there was a temple with crumbling walls. However, the deity statue within it was already broken beyond recognition, and its surface was eroded by the wind of time, recording a period of unknown events.

On the walls of the temple, there were rows of words that did not belong to this era!

"Could this be a lost land?" Xiao Mu was shocked.

Old text

dilapidated temple

a statue of a deity with a completely different face

This was a piece of history that was sealed, and might have been older than Xiao Mu had expected.

There was actually such a place in the Forbidden Ridge!?

After passing through the temple, Xiao Mu arrived at a yellow sand field. However, from the shallow riverbed around him, he could tell that this place had once been a vast ocean. The river flowed unceasingly, giving birth to a large piece of land and water.

The wind blew away the sand, exposing the bones.

As far as the eye could see, it was everywhere!

At the end of the sand, there were sword tombs lined up one after another. Rust stained iron swords were stabbed into the tombstones. Xiao Mu gently picked up the iron sword and waved it. And then, with a crack, the metal sword shattered into fine powder.

"This is an iron sword refined from the Blood Golden Essence, it is able to cut off the bones of Grade Nine Vicious Beast, but it was not corroded to scrap!" Xiao Mu frowned.

All that the bell had said was that in the long past, the Forbidden Ridge was once a lost land where an unknown civilization existed. This type of age was enough to make many people speculate.

Rustle, rustle, rustle …

Suddenly, the yellow sand flowed, and beneath the sand, a pair of scarlet eyes opened up, shooting out a shocking scream.

The sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out, and a section of the scorpion's tail shot out.

Xiao Mu was shocked, when he pulled out the Dragon Mark Black Gold Sword, it was already too late to defend, so he held his sword horizontally in front of his chest.

Clang!

A terrifying huge force burst forth, and as if he had been smashed by a heavy hammer, Xiao Mu spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, as he was sent flying ten meters away. On the Dragon Mark Black Gold Sword, a crack had appeared, and it was actually broken!

Beneath the yellow sand, a three-meter-long scorpion covered in black runes appeared, and slowly approached Xiao Mu.

Its body was emitting a vicious aura, proving that it was a Grade Nine Vicious Beast!

Xiao Mu's face was filled with fear, he stood up shakily, stepped on the unfettered step, and tried to shake it off. However, the result left him in despair. The scorpion was moving as fast as lightning.

With a flash of its black shadow, it had already caught up, its savage pincers stabbing forward.

In the next moment, Xiao Mu released waves of Sword Qi that flew at the scorpion.

The Destructive Sword Qi was as weak as paper. It was shattered by the pincer and its power did not decrease at all as it stabbed at the Dragon Mark Black Gold Sword. Instantly, the Dragon Mark Black Gold Sword exploded and pieces of its body flew into the air.

Xiao Mu's chest shook, and all his internal organs tumbled. The pincers ruthlessly stabbed into his flesh, and a scarlet blood spurted out in an instant. Xiao Mu felt his consciousness sink. A wave of dizziness assaulted him, and he could not help but faint.
