Chapter 1088: Metal Corpses

The girls dug out this corpse. To be exact, it was a corpse made out of metal. It was very similar to the Mortal Monarch who had an iron-cast body. Each part of the body was made from exquisite parts arranged in a truly breathtaking manner.

However, there was one difference between this metal corpse and the monarch. The monarch had a human head with flesh and blood while the head of this corpse was made from metal. Its skull was even more meticulous and awe-inspiring. It was simply the epitome of craftsmans.h.i.+p.

No cultivators could create such an exquisite skull. Furthermore, this corpse was much bigger than the Mortal Monarch. If the monarch was a growing boy, then this corpse was a mature adult.

The girls glanced at each other after fully digging out this metal corpse. They had seen the monarch before and felt that his body was incredible. Some thought that he was the only one in this world with such a unique const.i.tution. However, they managed to find a body so incredibly similar to his in this lost civilization.

“There are more down there.” Bai Jianzhen noticed that there were even more corpses underground and got started right away.

They were experts who could move mountains and flip oceans. In the blink of an eye, these metal corpses were all excavated. There were dozens of them, not just one.

The girls were perplexed and ended up staring at Li Qiye. During this whole process, Li Qiye only stood there and watched without being surprised at all; it was as if everything was within his expectations.

Li Shuangyan had to ask while looking at the corpses: “Is the Mortal Monarch related to this lost civilization?”

Li Qiye looked at the corpses. After a while, he looked away while answering: “Maybe, but one can argue otherwise as well.”

“What do you mean by that?” The knowledgeable Mei Suyao found the answer too cryptic.

Li Qiye glanced into the far distance and said: “In a sense, the Mortal Monarch was born in this era. However, he also has nothing to do with this era.”

“He has lived from this lost civilization all the way until now?” This was the most shocking thing the girls had heard yet.

Li Qiye gently shook his head and smiled: “It is impossible to live for that long with regular means. At a young age, the Mortal Monarch was imprisoned in the darkness and banished for an eternity. Even so, when he saw the sunlight again, he was on the brink of death.”

Li Qiye left out the tales afterward. When he found the Mortal Monarch back then, the monarch was already halfway to h.e.l.l. Li Qiye used extremely heaven-defying means to save him. Because of this, the monarch had a humanoid head.

“Just what is this lost civilization?” Mei Suyao was very curious about this mythical era.

Li Qiye said: “Who knows? The Mortal Monarch doesn’t either because he doesn’t have any memories of it.”

Mei Suyao was about to say something else, but she refrained from doing so. She knew that even if the Mortal Monarch didn’t know, Li Qiye certainly did.

“Okay, ladies, we have to keep going. We probably still have a long way to go.” He smiled at the group.

They continued on the road. It seemed like Li Qiye knew where he was going since he was only going straight. From the beginning, the girls thought that this place was only a desert, but they soon found out that this wasn’t the case.

Not long after, they saw a huge citadel in this vast desert world, a citadel made out of metal.

Judging by its appearance, it was very similar to the fortress that the Insect Pipe transformed into. Who knows what kind of metals made up this great citadel. In terms of construction, it resembled an iron man, as it was made from countless tiny pieces.

From an architectural perspective, this incredible citadel should be towering all the way into the sky. However, it was collapsed on top of the golden sand. Looking around, one would find broken parts scattered everywhere.

Chen Baojiao carefully looked at it and murmured: “It was burned down.”

From the crumbling ruins, this citadel must have been incinerated by an extremely ferocious fire of an unimaginable scale.

“Not just ordinary flames, it must at least be of the heavenly flame level.” Mei Suyao noticed some clues.

Li Qiye only gave it a glance and didn’t say anything. He led the girls onward.
