Chapter 180 The Primordial Era’s Pyramid

This was a large Source mine with over a thousand miners inside working. Terrified shouts rang out exceptionally far inside the large space.

The miners turned mad as they fled. Bones were everywhere. They were in large piles and some of them were extremely hard, causing many people to trip who were promptly trampled upon.

Within the deeps of the mine shaft, a bloody mist floated out. Every person who touched it screamed and turned into a bloody pulp.

The cultivators all took action, and took out weapons and used secret arts to seal that bloody mist.

However, no matter what weapon or secret art, they were unable to block the bloody mist. It had an powerful corrosion effect that quickly melted over ten weapons.

“A ghost, save me!”

“It had three eyes, I saw the ghost!”

The miners were all fleeing for their lives. All kinds of shouts of terror rang out.

Ye Fan had a bad feeling. Those experienced miners’ prediction had probably come true. He was extremely fast, quickly racing to the front of the crowd. In just a couple breaths worth of time he rushed out of the shaft and ran to a safe place much further away before stopping.

BANG!

The shaft was pierced through as a group of miserable cultivator rushed out. One of them was a middle-aged man who had become almost deranged. He left out a frightened scream, but in an instant turned into a bloody mass that fell the ground.

The mine was in a complete panic, and screams and cries rang through the air. The people fleeing were trembling with fear as they ran desperately.

Only half an hour later did everyone calm down. A thousand people had gone down the shaft to mine, but in the end only three hundred people ran out alive. The remaining people had all died within.

The cultivators all had gloomy expressions. They had wanted to seal the bloody mist, but the result was that five of them had died, including a Dao Palace secret realm middle-aged man.

For such a thing to happen, they naturally had to report it quickly. The appearance of a ghost mine was what they hated dealing with the most.

Not long after, a Grand Elder along with seven or eight elders quickly rushed over and carefully inquired about the details.

In the end, not one person could explain it in detail, and even the people who personally saw it could only say it looked like a motionless ghost.

“All of you should retreat,” ordered the Grand Elder named Li Yun. His finger was like a sword as he slashed out with it.

A light shot out and turned into a huge sword light that pierced down.

A thunderous noise rang out as dust flew up. That huge mine was cut open and the dark and eerie shaft was exposed, appearing very strange.

Grand Elder Li Yun continued waving his finger. That sword light was over sixty meters long continuously slashed down, completely revealing the shaft to the world.

All the stone was sent flying hundreds of meters away. A huge stone came out with many stone bones. Li Yun took them out before descending a short distance.

Ye Fan was looking on from the side, his heart nervous. The huge amount of bones had all turned to stone, and upon careful examination, none of them were human bones. There were some human-shaped life forms, but they were all a bit different from humans.

Grand Elder continuously waved that large sword to cleave apart the mine. Using a certain technique he seized all the bones and placed them on the brown ground.

A mountain of stone bones quickly appeared. There were at least ten thousand corpses.

Strand after strand of bloody mist rose. Li Yun’s sword light was actually melted when it touched it. He waved his sleeve and scattered the bloody mist towards the sky. It was only a long time later that everything calmed down.

He then displayed a secret art that condensed a green hand of light to reach deep into the mine.

The ground immediately began to shake as that huge hand picked up all the stones within the mine and placed them on the ground.

“A demonic ghost!”

“It’s that demon ghost!”

There were several Sources in the blood-colored soil. Each was as large as a washbowl. Such a size was extremely rare and precious, which made them a high-grade prize.

What startled people was that each Source had something inside it, and they weren’t pure.

The first two Sources sealed a scarlet liquid, which was obviously blood. It was due to one of them rupturing that the inside blood had flown out to cause the tragedy.

“Just how powerful was this life-form. Its blood turned into a bloody mist that was capable of killing Dao Palace secret realm cultivators…” The various elders were all shivering.

Grand Elder Li Yun was also frowning.

The third Source sealed a crystal finger that was very beautiful, spotlessly pure white. Although it was just a finger, people could clearly tell it was not ordinary as a vast Qi had been stored within.

The fourth Source was the most shocking. Half a head had been sealed inside. The face had thin scales, the forehead had a third eye and it had thick black hair. The head had been split in two by someone.

“There should be two life-forms. Careful examination reveals that the finger and that half head are clearly not from the same corpse.” The elders were all surprised.

“These four Sources are too important. I need to personally bring them back to the Sacred Land.” Grand Elder Li Yun’s expression was heavy.

Although they couldn’t be considered legendary Divine Sources, there were life-forms sealed within which made their price beyond estimation. They could not lose them at any cost.

He sealed the four Sources and then waved his sleeve to collect them. He then carefully examined the stones.

The stones that had been excavated with the Sources had two broken stone skeletons. One was slender, while the other was large. They were two different life-forms, and although they were human-shaped, they were definitely not humans. The slender one had six arms while the large one had a pair of bone wings.

Ye Fan could clearly see them from a distance and was speechless inside. They were such powerful life-forms, how could have vanished without a trace?

Rumble…

Suddenly, the exposed mine began to cave in, and everyone was frightened back. The mine’s bottom was caving in and a huge black pit appeared.

The mine actually had another bottomless pit appear inside it!

That was not something excavated by them, but something that had existed long before and only now revealed itself.
