This is a statue of an Ancient Buddha.

Having died countless years ago, yet still surrounded by Buddha Light.

Listening closely, it seemed as if sounds of a Buddhist High Monk reciting Buddhist Scriptures emanated from that skull.

The death of the Ancient Buddha was tragic, with a sharp arrow piercing through his eyes, then passing through his skull.

This should be the Ancient Buddha's lethal injury.

A chain wound around the Ancient Buddha's head and arrow, suspending the Buddha's head in mid-air.

"Only a skull is left, without the body, what a dreadful death!" Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Could it be that the old monk wanted to take down the skull of the Buddhist ancestor to bury him properly?

When a person dies, they return to the earth for peace.

This is a saying that has been passed down for a long time in the Cultivator World.

Many cultivators believe that after death, only by being buried in the earth can one have the chance of reincarnation.

Of course, many cultivators also believe in sea burial.

Some cultivators in the Starry Sky World believe in burial in the stars.

…

"The people who died here are all extraordinary, that Ancient Buddha's identity is even more special," Poison Ancestor said.

Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he asked, "How do you judge this?"

"The bodies..." Poison Ancestor said, "The body below the neck of that Ancient Buddha was chopped off, which is very different from the others, not even that strong Divine Demon Clan member was decapitated; this shows a lot."

Lin Feng stroked his chin, suddenly thinking of War God Xingtian, who had his head cut off, yet the body remained alive.

Lin Feng said, "Are you saying that this Ancient Buddha might have an ability like Xingtian, where even if the head is severed, the body could still survive?"

Poison Ancestor nodded and said, "Perhaps that's possible. That's why the other party simply destroyed the Ancient Buddha's body."

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said, "Whether it's true or not, we have no way of knowing. This ancient city is too eerie, unknown to how much history it obscures."

By this time, the old monk had already approached the Void Ancient City, walking step by step towards the Ancient Buddha's skull. Before the Ancient Buddha's skull, the old monk clasped his hands together, reciting a scripture for the Transcendence of the Dead Soul to send off the deceased Buddhist ancestor.

Then the old monk reached out, intending to take down the Ancient Buddha's skull.

Suddenly.

A terrifying aura surged out from within the ancient city, enveloping the old monk.

Endless killing intent spread out, repelling the old monk.

Poof!

The old monk spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

"What an eerie Star Sky Ancient City..." Many people exclaimed.

The Star Sky Ancient City truly was too strange and terrifying.

But that aura was indeed fearsome enough, making it the best choice for the old monk to voluntarily retreat.

However, the old monk did not choose to retreat; despite being pushed back, he once again walked towards the Ancient Buddha's skull.

"Too stubborn..." Many shook their heads, thinking the old monk need not risk his life for the skull of an Ancient Buddha.

The old monk advanced step by step towards the Ancient Buddha's skull, while the aura in the Void grew increasingly frightening.

The old monk was shaken, coughing out blood, his face pale.

Many people revealed a look of alarm.

The old monk's strength was so formidable, yet he was still shaken to the point of spitting blood.

How powerful exactly was the pressure emanating from the void?

"Amitabha Buddha..." In the distance, the group of monks clasped their hands together, reciting Buddhist Scriptures, seemingly praying for the old monk fetching the Ancient Buddha's skull.

Even after suffering severe injuries, the old monk did not retreat, his perseverance truly strong.

Lin Feng said, "Buddhist High Monks are truly admirable at times."

Poison Ancestor said, "These people have a certain obsession, and such obsession is truly terrifying. For the sake of their inner obsession, they might not even care about their lives, no different from lunatics."

Lin Feng said, "But in the eyes of Buddhist cultivators, the obsession you mentioned is their inner faith!"

Poison Ancestor said, "Perhaps this is the reason why the Buddha Realm remains enduringly prosperous."

…

The old monk once again approached the Ancient Buddha's skull.

But this time, the pressure the old monk endured seemed even greater than the first time.

His physical body cracked open, blood flowing out.

At this moment, the ancient monk with ten Buddhas of Light behind his head expressed, "Amitabha Buddha, blessed are the compassionate, Brother Jiwu, do your utmost, heed Heavenly Destiny, this matter cannot be forced, you should quickly step back."

The old monk said, "Senior Brother...how can we remain indifferent with the ancestor's skull hanging here? I, Junior Brother, am willing to stake my life for a chance, just wishing for the ancestor's skull to rest in peace."

The old monk known as Jiwu apparently had no intention of retreating even slightly.

He reached out to grasp the Ancient Buddha's skull.

However, something terrifying happened.

An unimaginable, terrifying pressure spread out, enveloping this old monk.

Crack, crack...

A sound of shattering reached the ears.

The old monk's body.

Came apart like porcelain, cracking rapidly.

Almost in an instant, the old monk's body was densely covered with cracks.

Bang!

Immediately after.

The old monk's body exploded into pieces.

"His physical body shattered... The old monk died tragically!"

Countless people were shocked and moved.

The old monk, with strength so formidable, most likely a Heavenly God Level existence.

Yet died just like that.

Too many people showed expressions of alarm and dismay.

"This ancient city is too terrifying!"

"The bodies hanging from the ancient city, and those nailed to the walls cannot be moved. I originally thought of pulling out the Battle Spear that nailed the Divine Demon, but luckily I didn't act."

"The ancient city is eerie, perhaps cursed." Many people chattered absorbedly.

"Farewell..." Lin Feng murmured.

The old monk truly earned his respect, and the old monk's death left Lin Feng's heart uneasy.

Many people cursed Buddhism as hypocritical.

Buddhism, perhaps does contain many hypocrites. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But there are also figures worthy of respect.

Like that of the Buddhist High Monk, the old monk.

"Amitabha Buddha..."

Other monks chanted Buddhist Scriptures together to transcend the deceased old monk.

Rumble!

After two hours, the gigantic pitch-black Stone Gate, over three thousand meters tall, emitted earth-shattering sounds.

"The gate is about to open..." Many people exclaimed excitedly.

"What secrets does the ancient city hide? Could it really have buried Nuwa, Suiren, Xuanyuan?"

Lin Feng looked towards the ancient city, murmuring to himself.

This ancient city holds too many secrets. With its opening this time, perhaps some of its mysteries could be uncovered.

Or possibly, the burial grounds of Nuwa, Suiren, Xuanyuan could be found.

Lin Feng's mood was heavy.

Nuwa is the Mother of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Regardless of whether all living beings were created by Nuwa, the fact that Nuwa mended the sky and saved all beings is indisputable.

And Suiren, Xuanyuan are even more the forebears of the Human Clan.

Nuwa perished in the Primordial Life war.

How did the human ancestors Suiren, Xuanyuan die?

If Nuwa, Suiren, Xuanyuan indeed died within this ancient city, what terrifying event occurred in this city back then?

Being capable of successively burying a Primordial Life and two ancestors of the Human Clan is shocking.
