340 Escape From the Burial Ground (1)
In the depths of the grassland, the mysterious altar gradually disappeared into the endless darkness.
Jiang Ming glanced back and knew that he probably would not encounter this mysterious item again any time soon.
“Perhaps the next time we meet, we will be able to dig out an even deeper secret,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. He was still interested in this thing. After all, it could attract the attention of the indestructible origin light, and it was something that seemed to have existed forever.
Jiang Ming smiled inexplicably. He turned around and strode out of the place. He crossed the valley and flew deeper into the Burial Ground.
A moment later, Jiang Ming saw a group of pegasuses with wings on their backs galloping through the air.
A few of them even circled around Jiang Ming as if they were observing some new species. Then, they were fanned away by an old pegasus with its wings and flew away while whining.
Before the old pegasus left, it stopped in the distance and stared at Jiang Ming for a moment. There was a strange light in its eyes. The spiritual energy in the void was slightly chaotic, as if there were fluctuations spreading.
Then, the old pegasus leaped up and turned into a streak of light before disappearing.
“The deeper we go, the stronger the intelligence of these creatures seems to be.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered. Before the old pegasus left, it actually sent him a vague spiritual signal to express its respect.
Before this, he had already encountered several kinds of animals. Moreover, they were all extremely agile, as if they far surpassed ordinary animals in the outside world.
“Friend, there are so many living beings in the Burial Grounds.” Jiang Ming immediately spoke to the black sword. “Is that normal?”
“The Burial Ground is mysterious and unpredictable. It only exists in legends. No one can tell what is inside,” the black sword said slowly. “Perhaps the Burial Ground is ever-changing. Maybe the next time we visit, everything will be completely different. It might become an endless ocean or even a forbidden land with immense spiritual energy.”
Jiang Ming was speechless. Then, he did not ask any more questions and continued to go deeper.
After a few hours, Jiang Ming had already crossed several mountains and valleys, and the surrounding spiritual energy became a little thin.
A mountain rock under his feet suddenly shattered, turning into dust and gray smoke that curled up and dissipated.
Jiang Ming looked ahead. The mountains and rivers seemed endless. However, when he looked carefully, many of them seemed to be illusory, constantly changing like ink paintings. Even the mountains and rivers in front of him were like decaying ruins. They kept shattering, turning into ash, and merging into the void.
“We should be at the end of the Burial Ground!” Jiang Ming said softly. In front of him, there was an illusory river that was surging endlessly. It seemed to be the same river as the one he saw when he first entered the Burial Ground.
The end of the river entered an illusory galaxy. The mottled spacetime fragments there were like meteors falling in all directions.
“Looks like that’s the exit.”
The power of a Saint was not limitless. Perhaps there were still many secrets in this burial ground that he had yet to see. However, his current strength was limited, and he could not waste any more time here. If he was trapped here by some means left behind by the Saint, it would be too late for regret.
The trip to the altar just now seemed calm. However, if the other party used another method and sealed Jiang Ming on the altar to prevent him from leaving, it was uncertain whether the indestructible origin light would still help him.
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and exhaled. Without hesitation, he leaped toward the illusory river.
At this moment, a wave that made Jiang Ming’s heart palpitate suddenly swept over from behind.
He suddenly saw that the illusory mountains and rivers around him were like clouds that were swept by a hurricane. They suddenly shattered and withered, turning into dust and dissipating.
Jiang Ming quickly turned around and saw a terrifying scene.
The end of the void behind him had turned pitch-black at some point in time. It was like a demonic abyss that covered half of the sky. It was filled with monstrous black fog that quickly spread toward Jiang Ming.
In the pitch-black abyss, a ball of dark red light lay across it. It was like a blood-red sun that emitted an endless aura of negativity. It was filled with slaughter, destruction, despair, and sorrow.
In just a moment, Jiang Ming seemed to be immersed in it and was eroded by the negative aura that spread. Tears of blood dripped from his eyes, and his mind was in a daze.
The indestructible origin light shone and expelled the corrosive aura. Jiang Ming then regained consciousness.
At this moment, all the living beings in the Burial Ground fell into oblivion. However, only Jiang Ming was awake.
