Chapter 246: The Ancient City of the Sand Sea
It is said to be ruins, but in fact it has been hidden by weeds and various trees, and only occasionally a brick or two peeks emerge from the verdant woods, letting people know that this place once had glory.
Of course, with Chu Hao's eyesight, he could naturally see through the dense woods the remnants of ancient buildings on the ground, as well as some traces that had not been corroded by wind and frost.
"The path that resembles the Netherworld Road should be a level, and the exit is a teleportation array. Walking among the dense trees, Chu Hao thought while observing the surrounding terrain.
On the ground, the original ruins have long been covered by dense vegetation, but occasionally some ruins can be exposed, and some stones and bricks even have strange veins.
"It's ...... Traces of ancient god patterns!" Chu Hao was surprised, squatted down and touched the veins on the broken tiles.
Obviously, this is some kind of unknown divine pattern, with an immortal Dao rhyme aura permeating, although it is very light, it has not completely dissipated, and some of it has been retained.
It's a pity that these veins have lost the divinity of the divine pattern, and there are only simple traces, which cannot be restored and carved, even if they are the tangible carriers of the avenue, they can only fall apart under the reckoning of the years.
However, Chu Hao didn't feel too much emotion, after all, if you think about it, you know that the divine patterns engraved on the bricks and stones are nothing more than some defensive formation patterns, and the value of a single study is not great.
Because the formation has always been the most complex and profound, the formation pattern is difficult to understand, unlike those divine exercises, based on the divine pattern, a divine pattern contains a big secret.
Just as Chu Hao continued to go deeper, walking along the traces of the ruins. The void where he appeared fluctuated again, and someone else was teleported over.
"It's really dangerous, the first level is guarded by the Yin soldiers. It seems that it is rumored that there is the inheritance of the Purple Emperor here, and it is not completely groundless. With a faint demonic sound, an evil man covered in pitch-black demonic fog slowly emerged.
To be precise, he was not human, and his body was ever-changing, as if he had been shrouded in a dark mist, changing with the mist. There is no fixed form.
Behind the strange man, there were three monks who were also dressed in black robes, and they looked much more normal than the man.
"The inheritance of the Purple Emperor is a bit unreliable. According to ancient texts, rumors of the existence of the waters of the River Styx are more reliable. Someone opened his mouth to say that the ancient books in his mouth were obviously absolutely secret.
"Either way, I am bound to get the waters of the River Styx. The inheritance of the Purple Emperor cannot be left behind. The Purple Spirit Refining Yuan Pole involves the supreme transcendent secret method of casting life from death, and it is also the most suitable technique for my Demon Cloud Palace. The evil man said in a cold tone, and then the black light on his body flashed, and he rushed towards the ruins of the ancient forest.
Walking along the dense trees, gradually approaching the center of the ruins, it seems that a mysterious power awakens, and a veil of mystery is suddenly shrouded in the surroundings.
Here, a grass, a fallen leaf. Even an occasional speck of dust blown off when the wind blows up has the potential to evolve into a peerless killing machine.
"Is this the defensive formation of the ancients? Condensing the void of heaven and earth into one, a grain of sand evolves into thousands of atmospheres, which is really amazing. Chu Hao waved the battle sword that he had already taken out, and slashed away a fallen leaf that shot head-on, while sighing involuntarily.
It's not that he hasn't experienced similar formations, there is a hidden ancient ruin in the Huoyun Mountain Range, and there is also an ancient formation shrouded, which has been artificially stimulated.
At that time, he was inside, and he felt the most profoundly, almost killing one step at a time, and a gust of wind blew by, and he could be transformed into a deadly trap by the formation.
It's just that the ancient formation of the Huoyun Mountain Range is too damaged, and it is obviously not as good as the defensive formation of this ruin.
"Whew!"
A sharp energy suddenly appeared, brushing Chu Hao's ears and blowing, the thin and sharp edge made Chu Hao's hair stand on end.
This is not the first time he has experienced this situation, and he still does not dare to be careless, because if he is not careful, he may be doomed and will die.
The most terrifying thing is the purple qi, this cold ghost-like aura, which will emerge from the ground from time to time, although it is not as obvious as in the canyon outside, but it is even more terrifying.
Occasionally, a formation attack was blessed by purple qi, and it actually intensified, and a sharp divine light rushed around the purple qi, like the most powerful divine weapon slashing down, Chu Hao didn't dare to hit the front.
Fortunately, although the appearance of the formation was troublesome, it had not yet reached the level that could stump Chu Hao, and with a little effort, he finally approached the center of the ruins and unveiled the mystery of this ruin.
When the last ancient tree disappeared, a sea of sand appeared in front of him, and in the middle of the sea of sand was an ancient city carved with the vicissitudes of time.
"Boom!"
A vast and majestic momentum, with the vicissitudes of antiquity, aimed at Chu Hao and rushed towards him, like thousands of troops galloping, rushing to kill the incoming enemy.
"It's ......"
Chu Hao's face changed greatly, and the original ancient city seemed to have suddenly turned into a crazy devouring giant python, opening its bloody mouth and rushing over.
The ancient city wall glowed with red light, and the brilliant veins flashed on the city wall, densely stacked together, blooming with the dangerous aura of God blocking and killing God.
"Iron swordsmanship, slash!"
Chu Hao shouted, raised the battle sword in his hand, and swung a sword at the thousands of troops and horses that had been transformed by the huge momentum accumulated by the city for thousands of years.
The same blazing red light bloomed on the battle sword, as if coated with a layer of scarlet blood, and the sword god pattern that was so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut through the sky and fall also condensed, turning into a thick sword qi that slashed the sky and the earth.
"Bang!"
The strong battle intent and killing intent condensed by thousands of troops and horses collided with the iron-blooded edge of iron swordsmanship, annihilated together, and turned into a storm of energy that swept the world.
Chu Hao couldn't help but snort, under the momentum of this city's endless years, he had to be forced to retreat in order to counteract this ruining force.
"Ahem, is this damn city a refinement?" Chu Hao was on the ground with his sword, and his whole body was drowned by the swept sand waves.
Fortunately, the huge momentum accumulated in the city seemed to be exhausted because of this, and he did not continue to attack, otherwise Chu Hao didn't know if he could survive it.
It is unimaginable that a city is just a living thing, and after endless years, it has accumulated such a huge power.
This is a kind of momentum, but also a kind of majesty, just like people facing the vast ocean and sky, will naturally give birth to a sense of insignificance.
And when this hanging "general trend" collapses and sweeps out with a thunderous blow, the terrifying destructive power that can be produced can be imagined.
Chu Hao raised his head, shook off the sand and dust on his body, and re-examined this ancient city that he knew at a glance that had been abandoned for thousands of years.
After a quick glance just now, he was shocked by the power accumulated by the city before he had time to observe, and when he looked at it seriously at this moment, Chu Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
Like the ruins along the way, the ancient city cannot be preserved well, and it is inevitable that it will be damaged by the wear and tear of time.
It's just that on the city wall, between the flickering divine patterns, there are a few relatively faint places, where the divine patterns have been worn away, revealing a black-brown color.
If you look closely, it seems to be ...... It's really the color of blood!
How is it possible, after thousands of years, what blood can't be dried out, and there are still blood stains?
Chu Hao didn't believe it, his eyes were puzzled, and when he walked into the city, he saw that it was really blood, and a large piece of blood was pasted on the city wall, which wiped out the divine pattern.
To this day, this bloodstain has not dried up, and there is still a faint blood light flickering, but it is incomparable to the light of the god pattern, so it looks a little dim.
What kind of creature's blood is this, so terrifying, that it has actually worn out a large piece of defensive divine pattern? Chu Hao gasped.
Needless to say, it is certainly not easy to be able to preserve the divine pattern with supreme power under the erosion of time.
This city wall may be preserved because of the connotation of these divine patterns, and it has not been assimilated by the wind and sand of history.
And where the blood is polluted, not only the city walls are corroded and destroyed, but even the divine power of the immortal god pattern is also worn out, so you can imagine the horror of this blood.
You know, the walls are not complete, there are also scratches from swords, and in some places they even collapsed, collapsed by terrifying forces.
But despite this, there are still remnants of the divine patterns in those places, and they have not been completely destroyed because of this.
But in the blood-stained places, without exception, all the divine patterns were gone, as if they had never appeared, and were corroded into nothingness by the power of blood.
"Dang!"
Chu Hao jumped up, swung his battle sword and slashed at the blood stains, the sword came into contact with the city, as if slashing on the strongest shield, and sparks splashed everywhere.
It seemed to be stimulated by the sword qi, and the scarlet blood light that was hidden on the blood stains surged violently, and a violent and cruel killing aura poured out overwhelmingly.
Chu Hao had already prepared, but he retreated with a tentative blow, and was not attacked, but the divine pattern on the city wall was also stimulated by the blood light, and suddenly soared, squeezing over layer by layer, and swore to stand with the blood stains.
"What happened here?" Chu Hao frowned, standing in front of the city gate with the Battle Destroying Sword in his hand, hesitating whether to go in or not.
It's not that he's timid, or he's overly cautious, but there's something weird about this city.
The city gate is long gone, it should have been destroyed in the great war of that year, but looking through the city gate, you can't see the scene in the city.
Looking around, all you could see was a vague gray air current, as if some force was blocking everyone's visit. (To be continued......)
