Chapter 857: The Bloody Grave Mountain Range (1/2)
Xie Wanting and the other Water Moon Sect disciples fell silent, as if they were shocked by Nie Tian’s attitude.
Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian asked again in a loud voice, “Where?”
As he spoke, bits of starlight shone in the depths of his eyes. The flesh power from when he had activated Life Strengthening hadn’t completely faded, as the starlight in his eyes was still covered in a shade of red.
A dominant aura seemed to pour out of the bits of bloody starlight within his eyes, aweing every Water Moon Sect disciple.
Even Xie Wanting had a feeling as if she were being eyed by a fierce beast from the Desolate Antiquity Era, and she might be torn to pieces in the next moment.
Her expression flickered slightly.
However, just as she was about to speak, Lu Feihua cleared his throat and said with a worried expression, “Miss...”
“People call that place the Bloody Grave Mountain Range,” Xie Wanting said.
All of the other Water Moon Sect disciples gasped. Even Xie Yunhai’s face turned pale as he exclaimed weakly, “Sister!”
“The Bloody Grave Mountain Range? What kind of place is it?” Nie Tian asked, looking puzzled.
Xie Wanting took a deep breath to calm herself, then said, “It’s a mountain range that connects the outermost ring of the Shatter Battlefield and the central area of the Shatter Battlefield. It used to be one of the main battlefields when great wars broke out between Ancientspirits, outsiders, and humans. To this day, many powerful experts of different races are still buried in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range, along with pieces of some human experts’ shattered domains. Not just that, but the discarnate souls of the deceased powerful experts also roam that area. Even bereft of their fleshly bodies, they’re still very dangerous.
“At the same time, quite a few Earth Cultivated grade spiritual materials have been discovered in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range through time.
“Some people even discovered Heaven Nourished grade spiritual materials there before.
“For hundreds of thousands of years, Ancientspirits, outsiders, and humans have never given up exploring the Bloody Grave Mountain Range. It seemed that even before the Shatter Battlefield became what it is today, the Bloody Grave Mountain Range was a special place where living beings’ discarnate souls would turn into evil souls after their deaths, instead of vanishing into heaven and earth.
“Now, outsiders can visit the Bloody Grave Mountain Range to find the remains of their dead ancestors and their powerful magical tools. We humans can also find pieces of our ancestors’ shattered domains there, along with their advanced spiritual tools and incantations.
“The Bloody Grave Mountain Range borders the central area of the Shatter Battlefield, which makes it more dangerous than the Fortune Wells. But at the same time, it holds more valuable treasures.”
After a short pause, Xie Wanting let out a sigh and continued,“But since it's extremely dangerous, only truly powerful members of different races will dare to enter it. The death rate there is far too high. The entrants will not only have to face powerful experts from different races, but also evil spirits and ghouls.”
Nie Tian was taken aback. “Ghouls!?”
“Yeah,” said Xie Wanting. “Some of the outsiders’ bodies wouldn’t perish after their deaths, and the Bloody Grave Mountain Range’s special environment has turned them into ghouls. For some reason, even though those ghouls don’t have souls, they can still move about. Evil spirits or ghouls, they all harbor enmity towards us living beings with flesh and blood.
“So once we enter the Bloody Grave Mountain Range, we may be attacked by evil spirits and ghouls at any moment. Other than them, we may also encounter members of other races, and engage in fierce battles against them.”
As she explained how dangerous the Bloody Grave Mountain Range was, all of the other Water Moon Sect disciples fell silent with insecure and uneasy looks on their faces.
Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian asked, “If that Bloody Grave Mountain Range connects the central area and the outer ring of the Shatter Battlefield, what grades or cultivation bases are the entrants usually at?”
“Mostly sixth grade outsiders and Profound realm human Qi warriors,” Xie Wanting said. “But on very rare occasions, seventh grade outsiders and Soul realm Qi warriors will also enter it from the central area of the Shatter Battlefield. Another special trait of the Bloody Grave Mountain Range is that, instead of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, it’s filled with a mixture of numerous different energies, which is harmful to all living beings with flesh and blood.
“Also, the stronger you are, the more you’ll be affected by those mixed energies.
“Many seventh grade outsiders and Soul realm human experts were kept from bringing out their true strength in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range. Some of them were even killed by those with inferior grades or cultivation bases.
“Powerful experts at the three domains may also have their domains shattered, and find themselves in great danger there.
