Chapter 17: The Dead Realm
The blood-red moon hung high in the sky, and there was a sense of lifelessness shining on the ground. Xiao Lan rode a three-headed dog and stood on a dirt slope, looking at the ground under his feet helplessly. This is a gathering place for three-headed dogs.
I don't know if this is the legendary hell, but Xiao Chao feels that there is not much difference between this place and hell. On this vast land that can not be seen, there are countless high mountains, these mountains have neatly divided this continent, and there is a basin in each mountain range, and at this time, in this basin in front of Xiao Chao, there are countless three-headed dogs.
It's as if all living things were grouped into categories for ease of management when the world was created. Xiao Lan saw that there were countless basins here, and the area of each basin was different, but in the same way, there could only be one living creature in each basin. Along the way, Xiao Lan saw countless skeletons, snakes that were completely made up of bones, and some basins with fist-sized red ant .......
One basin after another is like one village after another, and there can only be one living thing in each basin. The three-headed dog ran with Xiao Chao for a whole day, and during this day, Xiao Chao also saw many animals crawling out of the basin. And these animals that crawl out all have one thing in common, that is, they all have the strength of the third order or above.
Xiao Chao's luck is very good, this world actually has a language, and it is almost the same as the language of the human world. Xiao Chao understood when he thought about it. Since human beings are created by the joint efforts of many races, it is natural that they must learn the words that each race can understand. To use an analogy, humans actually speak authentic Mandarin. Other races generally speak in dialects. Although other races may not necessarily speak Mandarin, they are generally understood. Thinking so, Xiao Chao grabbed a small skeleton when he passed by the place where the skeletons gathered, and after several hours of groping, he finally figured out the name of this continent.
This continent has a very popular name, the Dead Realm. There are countless races in this realm of the dead, and some of these races are undead. Some are living creatures. Dying in this world does not mean the end of everything, but it can still be transformed into an undead creature and resurrected again. It's just that if you want to be resurrected, you must have the strength above the sixth order. And even if you have the strength above the sixth order to resurrect, it will take a long time to be able to wake up.
After each resurrection, it does not mean that they have survived again, but that they have changed from living creatures to undead. As long as it becomes an undead. Then you won't feel any pain again. Naturally, there is no feeling at all, so there is no creature that wants to be a creature of the undead. However, this world is the realm of death, if you don't become an undead creature, then your strength will improve very slowly, and after becoming an undead creature, the speed of cultivation will be much faster, so there are many creatures who will still turn themselves into undead creatures for the sake of power.
There are nine Venerable Beings in the entire Death Realm. These nine Venerables are all overlords of the dominant side, and in the places where these Venerable Beings live. It's all about towns. Because of their special bodies, these undead creatures simply cannot have the ability to reproduce, and although some of the nine Venerable beings are undead creatures, as long as they are undead creatures who have entered the seventh order, they can transform flesh and blood and have feelings again. There is only one condition for entering the town, and that is the ability to reproduce. If you can reproduce the next generation, you will be able to enter the town, if you don't have the ability to reproduce, then you can only live in this wilderness.
I have to say that the cultivation method of this dead realm is really interesting. Some are born undead, and only after cultivating to the seventh order can they feel all kinds of feelings. And some creatures have physical bodies, but for the sake of their own strength, they do not hesitate to transform themselves into undead, just to reach the strength of the seventh order.
There are only nine towns in the entire Dead Realm, and outside of them, all of them are clusters of races that resemble a categorical kind. It is said that a long, long time ago, countless creatures in the dead realm also lived in every place like humans. But then a Venerable One discovered that if these creatures wanted to evolve, then living with their own race was the most open way, so in order to allow these creatures to quickly improve their strength, these races were classified.
These four realms are extremely vast, and even the most powerful Venerable cannot put every race together, and the reason for this is just to let these animals be quickly sorted like one village after another. Just like the three-headed dog, there are countless gathering places of three-headed dogs in the entire Dead Realm, and this is just one of them.
The cultivation methods of this Dead Realm are very cruel, and unlike the slow cultivation of human beings, there are two cultivation methods in this Dead Realm. The first method is to absorb the ghost fire between heaven and earth every day step by step to evolve itself, but the creatures in this dead world are generally very poor, if they cultivate like this, they don't know that they can improve a little bit in hundreds of years, so the vast majority of creatures choose the second cultivation method, and this second cultivation method is devouring.
The entire creatures of the Dead Realm are all absorbed from the power of the Ghost Fire, so in terms of origin, these creatures are all the same. When a creature dies, the ghost fire in its body will not immediately dissipate between heaven and earth, but will stay on top of the dead body for a period of time, and during this time, as long as it is a creature of the same attributes, it can absorb a part of it. Before the sixth order, no matter what kind of creature it was, it could only absorb ghost fire with the same attributes as itself, but after the sixth order, it was able to fuse ghost fire with different attributes.
Ordinary creatures emit ghost fire when they die, and then the rest of the creatures with the same attributes can absorb about one-tenth to three-tenths of the ghost fire according to their qualifications. Although the absorption of different attributes is the same, it takes a certain amount of time to transform. The time and speed of transformation, as well as the number of ghost fires that retain different attributes, are all related to strength. However, even the most powerful Venerable could not absorb more than one-third of his own strength by absorbing ghost fires of different attributes, otherwise the two ghost fires would have the possibility of fusion. As for whether it will become stronger or weaker after fusion, no one can guarantee it.
It was because this Dead Realm had this cultivation method of devouring each other that these creatures would gather together. They don't come together to take care of each other, but simply to kill each other and then absorb the ghostly fire of the rest of the creatures. However, when the sphere of influence was originally divided, it had been clearly selected, just like gossip, the ghost fire has a total of eight attributes, and each direction has a town, and in the direction of the town, all of them are creatures of this attribute. This also makes these tribes constantly infighting, but more often they have to guard against the attacks of other tribes, which is the reason why these tribes can survive.
According to the entire Death Realm, the direction where Xiao Chao is located now is in the southeast, and all the creatures in this direction are cultivating red ghost fire, and each tribe will attack the rest of the tribes from time to time to strengthen the strength of their own tribe. The three-headed dog that Xiao Chao was riding was the one who escaped when the three-headed dog tribe attacked a skeleton tribe a few days ago. Thanks to the big life of this three-headed dog, he didn't encounter any strong enemies along the way, otherwise Xiao Chao really didn't know where he should go.
At this time, Xiao Chao also understood that this is a world of the jungle, and it is the most murderous one! There are nine towns in the entire Dead Realm, one of which is located in the very center of the Dead Realm, and then the other eight occupy a direction each. The blood moon in the sky is the core of the energy of the entire death realm, and the closer it is to the moon, the more energy it absorbs, so there is no doubt that although the central town does not have its own tribe, it is the strongest one.
The remaining eight towns are followed by this categorized biota, with mountains and rivers among them, and the stronger the tribe among these myriad creatures, the closer they are to the town, and the weaker the farther away from the town. This is a vicious circle, the strong enter the moon, absorb more energy, and become more powerful. The weak are far away from the moon and absorb less energy, so they can only get farther and farther away from the strong.
As for the so-called command to be able to enter the town if you have the ability to reproduce, although it is true, it is a trap. Weak creatures need to go through countless tribes of strong people if they want to enter the city, and they may be captured by the strong at any time to absorb the ghost fire, so if they are not strong, they will not be able to go to the town at all! However, Xiao Chao believes that although it is a lawless world in this wilderness, there must be some rules when entering the town. Although those strong must still have privileges, the weak also have the ability to reproduce, so there should be countless weak people in the town.
And as long as they are strong, they don't have to enter the town, because although those strong people are far away from the moon, but in their absolute territory, they are the emperor of the earth, and they have food and ghosts every day, so why go to the town to listen to the orders of the Venerable? This realm of death is a world where countless strong people coexist! (To be continued......)
