Chapter 709: Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation

The azure palace in the middle of the five mountains was a kilometer tall. Dust covered this structure. From a distance, it looked extraordinarily ancient and even ruined.

When Xiao Chen looked at that azure palace, he felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason. He could not help but find this place familiar like he had been here ten thousand years ago. It was a bizarre feeling.

Xiao Chen asked hoa.r.s.ely, “What is that place?”

Hu Hai and the others looked strangely at Xiao Chen. Then, Shui Lingling said, “You do not know? That is the Azure Dragon Palace. Ten thousand years ago, after Dragon’s Gate—a Holy Land—was destroyed, their main palace appeared here.”

Xiao Chen exclaimed in shock, “The Tianwu Domain really had four Holy Lands? Aside from White Emperor City, Phoenix’s Pa.s.sion Palace, and Divine Martial Gate, there was another Holy Land?”

Shui Lingling nodded and said, “Naturally, Dragon’s Gate used to be the leader of the Holy Lands. Ten thousand years ago, their last master, the Azure Emperor, was the strongest Sovereign Martial Emperor in history. He was the strong Palace Lord of the Martial G.o.d Palace. He could move around the entire Kunlun Realm unhindered, doing as he pleased.”

“If he was so strong, then how did Dragon’s Gate get destroyed?” Xiao Chen asked, his gaze never leaving that palace all the while.

Shui Ling did not know much, either. She answered somewhat vaguely, “It had something to do with your Sky Dome Realm’s Tianwu Dynasty. However, no one is clear on the details. We only know that the Tianwu Dynasty and Dragon’s Gate perished at almost the same time.”

Xiao Chen felt a yearning for that palace. He asked, “Are we going in?”

When the others heard his question, they all smiled bitterly. Hu Hai replied, “That is a Sovereign Martial Emperor’s palace. Who would not want to go in? However, no one can.

“Five thousand years ago, the Thunder Emperor, hailed as the person with the strongest offensive power, tried to barge in. However, he failed. In the end, he even got injured.”

Xiao Chen felt astonished. He asked Ao Jiao, Is that true?

Ao Jiao nodded and explained, Each of those five mountains represents an elemental attribute. Together, they form a Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation, sealing up that entire s.p.a.ce and time.

Back then, Sang Mu chopped off half a mountain. However, he was attacked by the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation for a hundred years.

Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, What do you mean by attacked for a hundred years?

This memory had left a deep impression on Ao Jiao. After thinking for a while, she replied, That is to compress a hundred years of time into an instant. There is clearly only one attack, but it injures you for a hundred years.

One sword for a hundred years, a hundred years with one sword. When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not help but enter deep thought. Unexpectedly, there is even such a Martial Technique. This is incredible.

“Let’s go. There are no flying Demonic Beasts here. We can fly straight in.”

Shui Lingling waved her hand. The Profound Sun Bird on her shoulder immediately cried out happily and revealed its true form. Then, the group gently climbed onto the Profound Sun Bird’s broad back.

Other cultivators in the area were soaring into the air, riding on tamed flying Spirit Beasts, or riding on their wars.h.i.+ps. Everyone moved in the same direction—the Savage Battlefield’s Dragon Burial Mound.

There were many Spirit Beasts in this world with the word dragon in their name. Some examples would be flood dragons, coiling dragons, earth dragons, and flame dragons.

Even though all these Spirit Beasts were very strong, they were not True Dragons. Even in the Immortal Epoch, True Dragons were legendary Divine Beasts. They had strong Magic Energy and possessed remarkable abilities. Several strong Immortal Cultivators were not a match for it.

Since the Martial Epoch, no one had ever seen a True Dragon. All they had seen so far were remains. Even so, regular Martial Emperors found it hard to withstand the Dragon Might in these remains.

The Dragon Burial Mound referred to the burial ground of dragons. Furthermore, the ones buried here were all True Dragons.

Long before the great war between Emperors in the Savage Battlefield, the Dragon Burial Mound was already in existence. Many people even believed that the Dragon Burial Mound had existed since the Immortal Epoch.

No one knew definitely when the Dragon Burial Mound came to be. They only knew that a significant number of True Dragons lay buried here.

The grave of every True Dragon contained sizable treasuries. There were also Spirit Trees that grew up with a True Dragon’s Immortal Qi as nourishment and rare strange fruits sustained with Dragon’s Blood.

Under the influence of Dragon Qi for several tens of millennia, the strange ores that appeared were all worth cities, treasures that would move anyone.

When new Dragon Caves emerged, the other forbidden lands in the Savage Battlefield—even Immortal Sect Remnants—became less attractive.

Shui Lingling’s primary target on this trip to the Savage Battlefield was the True Dragon Cave.

Black spots of light appeared in the sky fifty kilometers ahead. Xiao Chen condensed his Spiritual Sense into a line and surveyed the scene.

He discovered that the anomaly was a black storm stretching from the ground to the sky. Sand and stones flew around, shredding the mountains and trees in the storm’s path to bits.

Several strong Demonic Beasts could not do anything in the face of this storm. The storm instantly pulled them in and puréed them into a pool of blood.

“What is that?!”

The cultivators flying in the sky looked over and discovered the strange scene in front as well. However, their Mental Energy or perception was not as strong as Xiao Chen’s.

These cultivators could only see a vague scene. They sensed that something was wrong but could not make out what was happening.

Due to the distance, Hu Hai could not see clearly, either. However, the faint scent of blood lingering in the air made him frown. He said, “It seems like there is something in the direction of the Dragon Burial Mound.”

Shui Lingling observed for a while with her bright eyes. Then, she said calmly, “It is a True Dragon Storm. Someone must have opened the doors of the Dragon Cave. Since that is a True Dragon Storm, the cave should not be empty.”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
