Chapter 217: The Strange Immortal Tomb
Chapter 217: The Strange Immortal Tomb
“Is this the immortal tomb?”
Ye Xiu went downstream along the cursed rivers and saw a hill in the distance, which was the legendary immortal tomb.
Ahead, there was a hazy scene, with holy light shining, lightning surging, and layers of mist, making the place vague and mysterious.
Just a few miles away, a huge tomb, which could be tens of feet high, was located there. The Tianhe River submerged into it and disappeared without a trace.
Of course, this scene is very blurry and cannot be seen clearly, because the curse runes, holy light and thunder are intertwined, blocking the view.
The bright river rushed in from the void, and when it reached this place, it sank into the big tomb and disappeared.
This is quite weird. The big tomb seems to be a world that can accommodate everything in the world.
The surging river, carrying the power of the curse, actually entered the tomb.
In addition, on the loess tomb that is as big as a mountain, there are some plants, all of which are rare and effective medicines, with lightning properties, crackling and flashing with electric light.
The long river flowing in the void was shining with brilliant silver light, and on the river surface, there were also some faint golden luster. Was it the condensation of thunder, or the blood of the Demon Lord?
Now, the entire river flows into the great tomb, and the end of the river disappears here!
From the huge loess tomb, there was a divine light shooting up into the sky, which was extremely dazzling, because it was surrounded by belts of lightning and even many celestial bodies, which were all transformed from thunder.
"boom!"
Ye Xiu took a step forward, his divine power surged, forming a ball of light that enveloped him and fought against the curse.
The next few miles were very special. With every step forward, the power of the curse doubled, making people feel suffocated.
"Coming!"
Although he was not far from the big tomb, the curses increased in intensity, like a torrential rain, pouring down and drowning him.
Even Ye Xiu looked solemn about these curses, which were mixed with immortal principles, and also had a hint of weird and ominous aura.
This made Ye Xiu more suspicious about the Demon Lord's fall.
No one in the upper realm can tell exactly who the Demon Lord is. All we know is that he is an invincible supreme being. As for his origins and masters, these are extremely mysterious.
And when he attacked the immortal realm, he attracted the thunder tribulation that brought the immortal rules.
Ye Xiu guessed that the Demon Lord might have been contaminated with too many strange auras, or that strange creatures had found him when he was undergoing the tribulation, causing his tribulation to become even more terrifying.
It even attracted the creatures in the heavenly calamity to fight with him. The creatures that appeared in the heavenly calamity, even if they were not strange creatures, were extremely fierce, like thunder spirits, extremely ferocious.
As for the curse, it is most likely because this land was not originally owned by the Demon Lord.
Ye Xiu stared ahead. The source of the curse was the ancient tomb not far ahead!
The closer one is to the target, the more unbearable it becomes, and it is proportional to one's cultivation level, so the higher one's realm, the greater the pressure one will suffer.
Ye Xiu stepped forward, feeling the curse that could hurt him, making him ready for battle.
During this period, lightning struck one after another, which was extremely terrifying.
This place is filled with spiritual energy, lightning, curses, and a hint of immortal spirit in the thunder.
Step by step, after dozens of steps, they finally arrived near the big tomb.
It is made of accumulated loess and has existed for endless years. The rushing river goes straight into the tomb. Endless symbols are flashing in this place, and there is a terrible avenue atmosphere.
A withered grave is a great way!
This was Ye Xiu's feeling. After arriving here, he had this thought: perhaps the real great fortune was this tomb.
Here, the entire ancient tomb has a kind of rules, emitting symbols from time to time, and also bursting out lightning, piercing through the sky.
"Did an immortal really die here and be buried in the tomb?" Ye Xiu muttered to himself, sitting cross-legged in front of the tomb. His eyes glowed, seeing through the fog and the lightning, observing everything on the immortal's tomb.
"That is..." He opened his eyes wide, looking at the top of the grave in surprise. There was a bright red color, with bright blood, carrying an immortal breath, full of vigorous vitality, bright red and as crystal as chalcedony.
"The Demon Lord's blood?" Ye Xiu sighed.
He was very familiar with that kind of blood. Like him, it was at the pinnacle of the supreme realm, having lasted for thousands of years and remained immortal. The ancient tomb was also a great way, perhaps representing the immortal way, or perhaps containing the supreme principles of the Demon Lord.
Ye Xiu calmed his mind and realized the "Great Way to the Immortal Tomb".
After a while, Ye Xiu was surprised. He sensed the traces of the Dao here. There was a lot of thunder power here, and he captured their trajectory.
"The breath of immortality."
Ye Xiu understood, closed his eyes, sensed the broken runes, and then saw one wonderful scene after another. It was the changes of thunder, complex and unpredictable.
"Lightning has life. It turns into plants and trees, full of vitality!"
Ye Xiu whispered, this was his perception, thunder was not only a destructive force, it also embodied vitality here, he captured it.
Then, he saw the lightning turn into land, which was a piece of fast earth and rock, heavy and majestic.
Then, it saw the river, the lightning turned into liquid, became a lake, flowing between heaven and earth.
"Chong!"
A metallic tremble sound was heard, and the lightning in the sky and earth condensed into a combined weapon, transforming into spears, sky spears, halberds, etc., with tremendous power.
Lightning can also be sharp, like metal.
On the immortal tomb, the runes kept changing, demonstrating various mysteries, which made Ye Xiu extremely fascinated and completely immersed in it.
It was clearly thunder, but Ye Xiu saw the most simple elements in the world: grass, earth, water, metal, and fire.
"boom!"
Finally, several lightning bolts of different natures collided, emitting a trace of chaotic energy. The thunder was terrifying and filled with the aura of immortals.
Ye Xiu gained a lot of insights, and his thunder magic skills improved greatly. Before he knew it, a day and a night had passed.
"Is it the forbidden creature that appeared in the thunder tribulation?" Ye Xiu guessed that these thunders should be left by the forbidden creature in the Demon Lord's heavenly tribulation.
He circled around the big tomb, trying to see what was in other directions.
"A priceless plant containing the rune of thunder!"
Ye Xiu was surprised. He saw some plants on the other side of the tomb, including strange grasses, short trees, and fresh flower buds, all accompanied by electric light and containing mysterious runes.
These plants are rooted on the immortal tomb. Some are lush and green, some are sparkling silver, some are purple like clouds, and some are golden and dazzling. They complement each other and interweave with lightning.
Each one is branded with different patterns, contains the power of thunder, and has a hint of immortal aura, with flashing electric light. It is a priceless treasure for those who practice the art of thunder and lightning.
One plant, two plants.
There are hundreds of these herbs in total. Such a large number of herbs are many times rarer than the medicinal fields in Tianxian Academy.
Ye Xiu waved his hand, picked dozens of plants, prepared to take them back for research, and then looked towards the immortal tomb.
"It is indeed a fairy tomb."
This tomb has existed for countless years, and is covered with the aura of immortal thunder. After a long time, it has actually grown many plants like this.
Obviously, if there are living beings buried in a large tomb, its value will be higher.
"Could it be that there really is an immortal being buried in this tomb - an immortal?" Ye Xiu said to himself.
At the top of the grave, there was bright red blood, crystal clear, blooming like chalcedony, and even after so many years, it still exuded a vigorous breath of life.
The legend is too far away and no one can confirm it.
Ye Xiu opened his third eye and stared into the interior of the tomb. Through the layers of fog and rules, he saw a coffin inside.
