Chapter 1379: Secret Inside The Octagonal Tower
After stepping into the tower, one could feel just how vast the inside was. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary building, but it was completely different once inside. People would find that they have entered a new world. Looking up would result in a vast sky full of stars. It seemed like it was night time for Li Qiye.
He found himself to be in the middle of a large square instead of the spatial confinement of a tower. Just how large was this square? If the nine worlds had an old city that spanned millions of miles, then this square would be just as large.
Standing beneath this starry sky would make one feel quite insignificant, lower than even an insect. They would also be astonished not because of the vastness of this place, but due to the two rows of giants standing to the left and right. They towered to the sky with both hands placed on hilts of giant swords in front of their chests.
They wore ancient armor that had lost their divinity long ago, but the metallic luster remained. If Ruyan’s group was here, they would be quite shaken to see the two giants because they looked just like the corpse from the Colossal Immortal Race.
If the corpse out in the Bonesea belonged to a middle-aged man, then this row of giants consisted of youths. They weren’t as large as the one outside, but one would still feel like an ant while standing next to their feet.
The rows only amplified this illusion. Those from other races wouldn’t even be considered an ant, they could only be categorized as specks of dust.
“The Colossal Immortal Race.” Li Qiye sighed while looking at these giants ahead: “Not plentiful in numbers, but they were indeed a glorious legendary race. Alas, their destruction was inevitable.”
This was an extremely ancient race that belonged to an old era. They once reigned over the world, but death was their fate.
The bodies of those from this race were directly proportional to their cultivation. This was the reason why the corpse back in the legacy treasure region was so much bigger compared to the giants here.
Li Qiye slowly strolled through this area. There were too many things worth observing and studying in this place. This square also had many stone monoliths of monstrous sizes next to these giants.
Each of them was carved with different images. Some included ancient writings of hidden secrets while others had ancient runes that contained the truth of the grand dao. A few more contained images that belonged to this ancient race, telling tales of old legends…
Li Qiye carefully looked and felt each of the monoliths. He had been here more than just once in the past. However, each visit gave him a different harvest.
There was no moon, sun, or time in here. It looked as if one could stay here for as long as they wanted without being affected. These monoliths weren’t alone either. There were skeletons lying in front of them. Some were more popular than others.
Judging from their appearances, these skeletons used to be cultivators. They naturally weren’t from the colossal race. There were characteristics of humans, demons, treants, and sea demons…
It was apparent that they were fortunate enough to enter this place. They sat before the monoliths in order to study the occults. Unfortunately, they all died in this place long ago. Nevertheless, a few skeletons still had a great divinity; this was indicative of their immense strength when they were alive.
A few corpses still had medals hanging by their waists. From these particular medals, one would come to learn of their great identities. Some came from Gu Chun’s four branches, the Seven Martial Pavilion, and the Void Imperfection Schools…
Without a doubt, they weren’t only strong but also had incredible backgrounds, but they all met their demise in this place.
“Sons of sea gods, descendants of Immortal Emperors, natural-born immortal bone possessors…” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head as he looked at each skeleton that grew more familiar each time he came.
