Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
Chapter 77 Jinx
Jiang Xuan didn't know how long he'd been running. He only knew that several golden spears were chasing him relentlessly. Even the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace had been struck several times, completely surpassing the speed of a Shenhuo (divine fire) realm cultivator.
This damn place simply wasn't suitable for Shenhuo realm cultivators to train!
"It was just a little bit of lake water! Was that really necessary?"
Jiang Xuan didn't dare stop. He could only complain inwardly. This was endless. The beings who created this ancient land were even more malicious than Gu Yuan.
At least Gu Clan's ancient land only made people get lost and was difficult to find. In the two or three thousand times Xiangu (Ancient Immortal) opened, it had only been discovered a few times, and very few beings were lost in it.
But this place was different. He didn't believe that only they and that ancient freak had found it. Other beings must have found it before. Just look at the cave where the heart was. Such a large cave. Who knew how much flesh and blood was self-generated, and how much flesh and blood was truly dissolved from living beings.
And that bone book made him 100% certain that all bone book records related to the remains of the Ten Vicious were definitely big traps!
Shua!
Without knowing how many steps he had crossed, Jiang Xuan suddenly stepped onto an empty platform.
Here, the golden spears behind him stopped, not moving forward even an inch. They just kept dancing below the platform, as if clamoring, but daring not to cross the boundary.
"Hopefully there isn't something even more terrifying here."
Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at this empty ancient land. Under his feet were dark stone bricks, which didn't make a sound when stepped on. Even if he stomped with a stronger force, there wouldn't be the slightest sound.
And around him was darkness. Even using secret techniques, he couldn't see too far, like an endless void that swallowed everything.
He could only choose to move forward, hoping that his jinx wouldn't come true this time, and at the same time protecting himself with the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace at all times, which made him feel safe.
After going forward for several miles, he saw a statue with a huge wolf head, with a pair of huge black bull horns on its head, and nine tails on its back. The scales were thick, and the ends had dragon heads, as if they were nine true dragons, as black as ink, the dragon heads were ferocious, opening their huge mouths, as if to tear the universe and starry sky apart!
This was a Jiuyou Ao (Nine Nether Wolfhound), fierce and unparalleled, its fierce power overwhelming the world. Each head seemed to be able to swallow countless stars in the sky in one bite. It was too terrifying!
"Which Jiuyou Ao's statue is this?"
Jiang Xuan's mind was tense. The nine true dragons on its tails really scared him. If it was the one who died in Xiangu, that would be fine. After all, the other party was already dead. No matter how powerful the means were, it would have no impact on him.
But he was afraid that this statue was the ancestor of the Jiuyou Ao on the other side of the boundary sea, an existence standing at the peak of the quasi-immortal emperor. He didn't want to form any karma with it.
Of course, in principle, the Extinction Elder was not born in Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but came from an extremely ancient Great World that had long been destroyed by himself.
Therefore, it was unlikely that the Jiuyou Ao clan had related records, unless there was some kind of imprint in their bloodline inheritance...
"Forget it, whatever. Since I'm here, I'll take it easy. Even if it's really you, no matter how great the karma is, it will be killed sooner or later. Anyway, someone will take on all the karma in the world."
Jiang Xuan decisively passed the buck. Even if the other party was really the Extinction Elder, he didn't care. If he didn't become a quasi-immortal emperor, he would still be an ant in front of this kind of being, and the other party wouldn't care.
And if he became a quasi-immortal emperor, what would he be afraid of?!
Besides, wasn't there also a Huangtian Emperor (Desolate Heaven Emperor)?
Therefore, he didn't think about it anymore. He directly bypassed the statue and walked into an ancient hall behind it. This ancient hall was magnificent and huge, with a majestic aura, shocking the heart, covered by mist, and faintly he could hear hissing sounds, as if there were some kind of strange life in this mist.
"There really is danger."
Jiang Xuan was also helpless. He was right again. This mist didn't look like a good thing. It carried some kind of strange power. He didn't even need to use his spirit body to sense that there was great terror in it.
Above his head, the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace hung down immortal light, protecting Jiang Xuan's real body, like the only light in this mist.
Soon, he saw several corpses, which had not rotted at all, but seemed to have been corroded by the strangeness in the darkness. The whole body had turned black, with a dark light.
Jiang Xuan wasn't curious about who these corpses were. The emerging dark light gave him an ominous feeling. They were clearly dead and still glowing. Jiang Xuan wouldn't believe that they were normal no matter what.
At the same time, a very bad guess emerged from his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Moreover, he quickly verified the truth of this guess!
In front of him, there was a staircase with a total of eighty-one steps. Each step seemed to be cast from immortal gold, representing the ultimate in the world.
And at the very top, there was a purple-gold throne, like a supreme throne, overlooking all living beings, the supreme emperor between heaven and earth!
And on that imperial seat, there was a figure, covered in dense red hair, exuding an ominous and dark aura, as if it was the source of all misfortune.
And on his body, there were chains of the Great Dao's order that firmly locked him, as if to suppress him.
"Holy crap, is this late-stage ominousness?!"
Jiang Xuan was startled and quickly dodged. If he remembered correctly, in the Desolate Ancient Era, the Source Heavenly Master would suffer late-stage ominousness and grow hair all over his body.
Of course, it was still too early at this time, but he remembered that the Extinction Elder was also covered in red hair. If he didn't know that the Extinction Elder was still floating in the boundary sea, he would definitely wait to die on the spot.
"Could it be that the Jiuyou Ao clan was really affected by the Extinction Elder and fell into darkness after death?"
This was not impossible. The Extinction Elder was the first Jiuyou Ao in the world. It could be said that all Jiuyou Ao after him had his blood flowing in their bodies, and the Extinction Elder chose to fall into darkness and become one of the black hands that promoted dark turmoil. It was not surprising that there were traces of darkness in his blood.
It was like the guardian lineage of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which also had dark blood in their bodies.
However, Jiang Xuan felt that the dark blood of any clan today could not compare with that of the Jiuyou Ao clan. The origin was extremely ancient, originating from the first Jiuyou Ao in the world, and was even hailed by later generations as the "First Emperor Who Opened the Sky."
Such a being, his blood was absolutely terrifying, and it was likely to affect the clan even after death, giving birth to ominousness and darkness. Therefore, after his death, he had to be sealed by this means.
"I shouldn't have come!"
Jiang Xuan cried out in his heart. He knew how strange the beings who fell into darkness were. If the one in front of him had developed a new intelligence, he would be miserable. Even with the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace protecting him, he didn't have a sense of security at all!
Now he would rather go back from the lake. What if he killed a few people for nothing? Better to have a dead friend than a poor Taoist, it's better than now, where he might put himself in danger.
