Chapter 331: Chapter 257: Nameless River, Immortal’s Tomb, Shi Hao (revised)_2

The scarred man sneered.

They were not truly intending to explore this uncertainty shrouded by the mist, but were professional thieves, lying in ambush and waiting for outsiders to enter so that they could extort them for a living.

Yet at this moment, they would inevitably have to pay for their actions.

“You were given a chance to live—it’s you who didn’t cherish it—”

The broad sword man remained expressionless, nonchalantly slashing his left hand through the air as the scarred man made his move.

In an instant.

A visible silver-white light suddenly appeared from thin air, filled with an endless sharpness, stern and solemn.

This was the bloodline inheritance technique he had obtained from the Sword King Body—Kill Without Mercy.

Abandoning all external objects like divine weapons, using the body as a sword seed, he can slash all things when the sword seed transforms into a butterfly, which is the initial stage of turning his body into a sword.

In mid-air, the silver light was swiftly hurtling, like a flash of dazzling lightning.

“How can this be!!!”

The moment he saw the silver light, the scarred man’s face drastically changed. He sensed a strong intent of death and couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

Yet, before he could react, the silver-white light had already directly pierced through his body.

“Squish….”

There was no resistance at all.

In a split second.

Half of his body was instantly cut into several segments, with blood spurting out several meters away. He instantly died beyond help.

The remaining men were screeching in shock at the sight of this.

This method was too domineering, utterly inconceivable, a strange attack tactic they had never seen before.

They did not sense any rune power, yet the strongest among them suddenly died horrifically, without any ability to fight back.

Most importantly, they found a terrifying piece of information: all these men were Nobles.

Are they insane? A mere group of six or seven dared to confront dozens of Nobles?

These men are truly despicable. Nobles are Nobles, what’s the point in hiding their true strength? And they hid it so well.

“We were blind, we beg the adults’ forgiveness for our mistakes!!!”

The few remaining were scared out of their wits, crying out loud.

Each of them turned pale, cursing inwardly as they spoke. They felt these men could be rightly called the king of shameless acts, as if they were luring them to make a move.

“There’s no need for the dead to know this!”

The broad sword man spoke, and the other Nobles behind him stepped forward to swiftly deal with the remaining men.

The motto of Liu Village is better to kill unnecessarily than to let go.

“Elder Brother Zhao, just now your move was really akin to the ‘One Smile, One Sword in Life’ mentioned by Lord Willow God, overshadowing your three decades of notorious fame.”

Lin Hai laughed, quite envious of the broad sword man’s technique, which did not require any external help. With a mere swipe, he could form a formidable Sword Qi, killing the enemy invisibly among thousands of armies. It’s a technique that many probably wished to have.

However, the demands it made on oneself were too high. Only the man in front of him could learn it.

“Everyone, look at the ground quickly. It seems to be absorbing the blood spilt by those people.”

Someone spoke, his expression slightly flustered.

Hearing this, the remaining people hastily looked down.

It was clearly visible that the blood spilled by those people was instantly absorbed by the ground upon contact, almost too quickly. If one did not observe carefully, it could easily be missed.

“There’s something wrong with the soil underfoot. There might be great peril hidden here. Everyone, be careful!”

The broad sword man yelled out.

This scene was too bizarre, compelling them to stay on high alert.

However, after waiting a long while, nothing odd happened behind the ground under their feet, it simply absorbed the blood water.

The crowd temporarily settled down and once again ventured deeper.

This fog-covered area seemed to be a concealed stash. Besides the group led by the man with the scar, there were many other figures along the way, both from the Human Race and other creatures.

After approximately several kilometers, they stumbled upon a vast river. They had no idea where it flowed from. Accompanied by sparks of lightning and thunder, it flowed towards the unknown distance.

This river was extraordinarily wide, boundless to its horizon, the entirety of it was a dazzling silver-white, very beautiful.

However, what was horrifying was that there were many corpses floating on this river. They were all densely packed, sinking and floating continuously. Their clothing varied, some appeared ancient, seemingly from several eras ago. Yet, these corpses showed no signs of decay and looked as fresh as if they were still alive.

“These are all corpses of gods, at the very least, they should’ve lit the Divine Flame!”

Someone speculated, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why these corpses have not decayed a bit till today. Only by shedding their mortal bodies could this be possible.

“As for the length and depth of this river, nobody knows. From ancient times till now, countless years have passed, an innumerable amount of lives have been buried within. It’s not just those in the Godfire Realm, quite a few Celestial Gods are buried here as well. No matter how splendid their achievements were during their lives, in death they merely become obscure corpses in this river.”

An old passing man spoke.

“Old man, do you know the origin of this river?” Someone immediately asked.

“Speaking of this would take a while. It’s said to be formed from the earliest form of lightning and thunder, thus the river is filled with flashes of thunder and lightning.

However, some speculate it was formed from the blood of a peerless Demon Lord. Wherever it passes, a curse and ominous ill-fortune will manifest. Anyone contaminated will die instantly, not even a Celestial God capable of regenerating from a drop of blood would be able to resist.

In conclusion, there are varying guesses but no final verdict due to the river being from such an ancient time. No one knows when this river was formed, but after so many years, there still hasn’t been any signs of it drying up. On the contrary, it has only grown fiercer in the last hundred years, rising to significantly higher levels compared to the past!”

The elder took a moment to organize his language, giving a reasonably detailed introduction.

“But where does this river eventually flow to?”

Lin Hai felt puzzled and intrigued.

If this river truly was formed by the flowing blood of a Demon Lord, how massive would their body have to be and how strong their vitality to still exist to this day without any signs of drying up.

“It’s said to flow into an Immortal’s Tomb in the end, where a genuine Immortal rests. There was an ancient prophecy by some primordial creature stating that when all water from this river is poured into the tomb, the Immortal’s Tomb will appear in the mortal world and the terrifying entity buried inside will revive!!!”

This time it was a woman who spoke. She was talkative and seemed to know quite a few secrets.

“Immortal’s Tomb? Are there real Immortals inside? Can we find that place by following the path of this river?!”

At this moment, a thin and handsome young man approached.

Just as the young man finished speaking, the broad sword man had a look of surprise on his face.

“You…are you the Stone Kingdom’s Human Emperor, Shi Hao, who slaughtered seven gods single-handedly!”

The broad sword man looked at Little Dot, speaking in a deep voice as if his eyes were shooting thousands of swords, each one slashing through large stars.

“You recognize me?” The young man was somewhat surprised, and then immediately suspiciously looked around.

“Not personally, but I have seen a portrait of you. That painter must be a master, it’s nearly identical, especially the demeanor, unrivalled by anyone. Hence, it’s easy to identify, I never expected I would meet you in person here!”

The broad sword man said, showing a sincere admiration.

Although he had been residing in Liu Village, he had heard of the Stone Kingdom’s Human Emperor defending his people, not hesitating to face seven gods alone in the Noble Realm and fighting to his death. His spirit was praiseworthy and moved them even more so because he was just a teenager.

Such a feat at such a young age was priceless and made even many adults feel ashamed of their inferiority.

“Who exactly are you guys?”

Little Rock wrinkled his brow, trying to recall but truly had no recollection of the few people in front of him. They were strangers, but they could still recognize him immediately.

Even though Little Dot had once visited Liu Village, at that time, the broad sword man, Lin Hai and others were in seclusion and training, therefore they had never met each other.

“We are from Liu Village, you must have heard of that place!” Lin Hai at the side smiled, his voice refreshing and clear.
