In the distant mountains and hills, a dense gray mist suddenly appeared, thick as a celestial barrier.
The gray air was icy cold, and faintly, it seemed to carry countless chilling wails of spirits.
In the midair, countless tomb shadows appeared faintly, with death energy surging throughout.
This was the location of the Myriad Beasts Graveyard.
Standing on a solitary peak outside the Myriad Beasts Graveyard, Liu Bai and his companions looked at the death energy permeating the land and at the enormous tomb shadows faintly floating in the air. Their expressions gradually grew serious.
"The death energy here is far too concentrated. Without special means to block it, in no time the body will be eroded and turn into an undead creature."
Jiu You looked at the scene before her, feeling her heart race in alarm.
Liu Bai smiled lightly and then a white lotus floated from his hand, slowly hovering over Jiu You's forehead before sinking into her being. In the next moment, a faint white light spread from Jiu You, covering her entire body and instantly isolating all the surrounding death energy.
This was the Spirit-Purifying Lotus they had purchased at the trade point, capable of effectively dispelling death energy and sensing other special spiritual entities.
However, it required a special soul stone to provide energy, so Liu Bai and the others had spent a considerable price to acquire enough soul stones as a reserve.
After making all necessary preparations, the four of them began advancing into the gray, death-filled space.
As they approached, Liu Bai and the others could clearly feel the intensifying chill of the death energy. Looking below, they saw the land beneath their feet had turned black, resembling rotting soil.
"We are entering!"
Liu Bai shouted a warning ahead. Jiu You and Mo Ling suddenly felt the air grow icy and cold. Even with the protection of the Spirit-Purifying Lotus, the corrosive death energy still made them shiver.
The gray death energy was now so dense it obscured vision, and under its influence, Liu Bai noticed that even spiritual perception was heavily suppressed, unable to extend far.
As they delved deeper, some of the surrounding peaks gradually turned gray-white under the influence of the death energy. As far as the eye could see, there was no greenery remaining. It had truly become a world of death.
Howl!
From the depths of this death world, they faintly heard cold, beastly roars, devoid of any life, as if coming from inanimate objects.
Swish! Swish!
Liu Bai and his companions quietly weaved through the mountains, moving cautiously, every muscle tense, eyes scanning for danger.
Thud!
Suddenly, Liu Bai's figure at the front stopped. He landed like a ghost on a bare, gray-white giant tree, his gaze fixed ahead. In the air before him floated several shadows, radiating waves of chilling death energy.
"Are those beast spirits?"
Jiu You and the others followed, looking up. The shadows were gray-white, with hollow eyes and no intelligence.
Their forms were varied, some even appearing as half-human, half-beast.
However, without exception, each shadow exuded immense death energy. Anyone below Sixth-Grade Sovereign who touched it would die.
"According to prior information, these leaders must be dealt with quickly. Their heads need to be crushed, or they will continuously harass us. They may also summon other beast spirits. Being surrounded would be troublesome."
With that, Liu Bai vanished from sight, reappearing behind one of the shadows.
This figure's body was covered in white fur. Its gray-white body appeared fragile but was harder than gold or iron.
When Liu Bai's palm, wrapped with the Phoenix Pattern, struck it, it had no resistance. Its head was instantly pierced.
Bang!
The skull exploded, but no blood splattered. Only some bone ash scattered, and the beast spirit's body instantly stiffened before falling from midair.
Liu Bai did not look at the falling beast spirit but examined his palm. After piercing the beast spirit's head, grayish death energy clung to his hand. This was the corrosive death energy.
"This death energy is troublesome."
Still, Liu Bai simply rotated his Five Elements spiritual power, dispersing the gray death energy.
After Liu Bai dealt with the beast spirit, Jiu You and the others finished off the remaining beast spirits.
However, Liu Bai realized that these beast spirits were too low in rank, providing almost no experience or even beast soul points. From now on, when encountering such weak creatures, he would not bother.
"The locations Han Shan mentioned where the phoenix cries and suspected undying flames appear are deep within the Myriad Beasts Graveyard. From here on, we must proceed with extreme caution!" Liu Bai warned gravely.
Jiu You and the others nodded seriously. They fully understood the danger of the path ahead.
"Then let us continue."
Although they had missed the opportunity to reach the place where the treasure beasts had fallen, Liu Bai was far more concerned with the Divine Tomb Garden located at the deepest part of the Myriad Beasts Graveyard.
Surprisingly, as they advanced, the usually deserted depths of the graveyard had suddenly become bustling. Along the way, Liu Bai noticed several teams hurrying past, all heading deeper into the graveyard.
"What is happening? Why are so many people moving this way? They seem anxious, as if afraid someone else will get ahead of them," Jiu You said, puzzled.
"I sensed the presence of the Celestial Crane Clan and the Nine-colored Peacock Clan in those teams," Mo Feng said seriously.
These were all powerful Divine Beast clans in the Great Thousand Worlds, each with numerous Super Divine Beasts, comparable to human super powers.
Liu Bai raised his brow and immediately understood. He smiled. "It seems there is an unexpected event in the depths of the Myriad Beasts Graveyard. To draw so many top Divine Beast clans, it must involve a Super Divine Beast. Perhaps this is related to the Phoenix. We should follow them."
Liu Bai had guessed correctly that the destination of these teams was most likely the Divine Tomb Garden at the heart of the graveyard. He would not miss such a chance to have others lead the way.
"Let us follow them!"
With that, Liu Bai transformed into a streak of light and quietly trailed behind the teams.
Jiu You and the others did not hesitate and followed.
Although this place was extremely dangerous and would usually be avoided, their target was the Phoenix Divine Blood. Even a slight chance required them to take the risk.
"Look, that is the team of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Clan!"
While advancing rapidly, Liu Bai and his group encountered another team. However, this was not one of the top Divine Beast clans, but the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Clan, comparable to the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan and the Rhino Clan, a top-tier Spiritual Beast clan.
Liu Bai's gaze swept over them. The team consisted of five people, all Seventh-Grade Sovereigns. The black-armored, gaunt leader was a peak Seventh-Grade Sovereign, whose strength surpassed that of the Peng Clan and the Rhino Clan by a considerable margin.
"Their destination is also deep within the Myriad Beasts Graveyard. Let us try to gather some information from them," Liu Bai said, his eyes lighting up.
"Ah? We do not even know them. Will they speak to us?" Mo Ling asked innocently.
Jiu You smiled faintly and gently blocked her, saying "Do not worry. They will certainly be very willing to share information with us."
Indeed, upon seeing Liu Bai nearly defeat their strongest member with a single punch, the members of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Clan immediately became submissive and answered every question.
From them, Liu Bai obtained quite a lot of useful information.
It was said that in ancient times, when the Origin of Divine Beasts shattered, the superpowers of the continent fought against the kings of the Fiend Clans. Most of these powerful beings perished in the deepest part of the Myriad Beasts Graveyard.
The residual evil energy from the fallen Fiend Clan warriors had incredibly strong corruptive power and attempted to pollute the remains of the Super Divine Beasts. Over time, the residual will of these Super Divine Beasts merged, occupying the depths of the graveyard, guarding the bones and suppressing the kings of the Fiend Clans.
That region, where numerous Super Divine Beasts had been laid to rest, was known as the Divine Tomb Garden.
Deep within the Myriad Beasts Graveyard, the earth no longer bore the lifeless gray-black color. Instead, it was dark red.
This dark red had been stained by blood, and not ordinary blood, but that of superexistences. The entire space exuded overwhelming oppression. Even Liu Bai, protected by the True Dragon and True Phoenix spirits, felt his breathing suppressed.
The ground was cut by deep chasms that seemed bottomless, and even the spatial structure here appeared twisted and shattered.
Clearly, this testified to the terror of the ancient battle. Even after tens of thousands of years, this world could not repair itself.
The death energy here was no longer gray-black but tinged with faint red. Liu Bai and the others could feel the residual negative emotions within it, left behind by countless fallen warriors from that war.
This was far more dangerous than ordinary death energy. If it entered the body, it could shatter the soul instantly.
The four of them gazed at the surrounding environment, particularly the gray-white mountains formed from the bones, and were silent for a long while.
"This is the Divine Tomb Garden?" Jiu You asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on the vast and magnificent graveyard, her face full of shock. Compared to this tomb, they were as insignificant as ants. The feeling was indescribable.
"It should be," Liu Bai replied, sensing that besides them, there were still many spiritual power fluctuations around, causing him to frown.
"It seems news of the Divine Tomb Garden has already spread."
"This is not surprising," Mo Feng said calmly.
Although the top Divine Beast clans were well-informed, they could not hide from attention. Every action they took was observed, and as they entered the Myriad Beasts Graveyard one by one, others could make guesses.
Weren't they also part of this following crowd?
"Let us move. Judging by their appearance, they should all be gathering in that area."
Liu Bai's gaze shifted to a region on the outskirts of the Divine Tomb Garden.
There, massive rocks rose, and spiritual power fluctuations radiated outward. This was clearly the place where the numerous teams had gathered.
They could collect more information there.
The arrival of Liu Bai and his companions did not attract much attention, as the number of people there far exceeded their expectations.
Sensing the strong presences around them, Jiu You and the others became extremely solemn. They had not expected to encounter so many powerful clans.
"Those are the top clans in the Spiritual Beast realm," Jiu You explained gravely to Liu Bai.
"See that group with colorful eyes? They are the Nine-colored Peacock Clan."
Liu Bai looked in the direction indicated and spotted at the forefront a woman as graceful as an immortal. She wore azure clothing, her features delicate, radiating both beauty and nobility, commanding respect.
"Even among the many avian Divine Beasts, their bloodline is noble, not inferior to the Phoenix Clan," Jiu You continued.
Liu Bai nodded slightly. From a single glance, he instinctively sensed her immense power, unlike any so-called prodigy he had encountered before.
"And over there are the Heavenly Ape Clan," Jiu You added.
Liu Bai turned to another direction, spotting three lean figures holding stone rods. They appeared ordinary, yet Liu Bai could sense strong dangerous fluctuations emanating from them.
"Tsk tsk, a bit of the Monkey King flavor," Liu Bai murmured, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"Then there is the Roc Clan…"
"Over there is the Heavenly Crane Clan…"
In just a short moment, all the top Divine Beast clans he had only heard of before now appeared before him.
"What do you think would happen if I left all these prodigies here in the Divine Tomb Garden?" Liu Bai sent a thought to Jiu You.
His words startled her. She immediately replied, "Do not even think such reckless thoughts. If you dare, the entire Divine Beast realm will hunt you down. Even as a Heavenly Sovereign, you would have no escape!"
These clans contained numerous Super Divine Beasts comparable to Heavenly Sovereigns. To kill them would be no different from seeking death.
