Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 341
Chapter 341: Divine Tomb
Wei Huo finally reached the end of his life. 10,000 years had passed since his birth. Even though he was at the peak of the Legendary stage, he could not escape death.
Wei Huo sat cross-legged in the graveyard and did not move. His life aura gradually disappeared.
Wei Huo was dead.
The news spread throughout the entire tribe. The tribe leader of the Skyfall Race laughed wildly and had his head cut off.
As soon as the new leader took over, he rushed to the temple. Then, he saw Wei Huo, who had lost his life aura, outside the high wall. He laughed crazily and said, “I waited for this. I waited for it. He’s dead. He’s finally dead!”
Challenging someone at the peak of the Legendary stage was useless. All the leaders knew that it was impossible. All they could do was wait for Wei Huo to die of old age.
The Skyfall Race had been divided into two factions. One of them had started the interstellar expedition, while the other had stayed behind on Earth to wait for Wei Huo to die. Now, they had finally arrived.
The current leader said proudly, “I’m the one who contributed to the Skyfall Race. I was the one who brought back the corpse of the Mythical giant snake and my race’s divine weapon!”
He was holding a knife in his right hand. The knife was already dyed red with blood. The Oracle from the Divine Temple wanted to stop him, but he killed him.
The current leader took thousands of steps and entered the graveyard. However, at that moment, an endless aura of death drilled into his body from his feet. Stunned, he looked at the ground in disbelief.
“This is…” The leader was terrified. His eyes widened as if he had seen something terrifying. Then, he collapsed on the ground and died.
The news of the leader’s death spread throughout the Skyfall Race. Many people saw the miserable state of the leader. They shook their heads and said, “Why do you want to disturb the peace of our ancestors? This is the place where the previous leaders died. In addition, there’s a peak Legendary corpse. It’s fine if he’s alive, but once he’s dead, no one can suppress the aura of death anymore.”
All the tombs in the graveyard were facing and surrounding Wei Huo’s corpse. It was terrifying, as it seemed like countless dead people were staring at Wei Huo.
The people outside the graveyard were terrified by this scene.
Someone said, “This is a dangerous place. It’s an extremely dangerous place. You can’t enter it easily!”
Someone asked, “How should we enter the volcano?”
One of them replied, “Can’t we just go somewhere else?”
Everyone felt that it made sense. They scattered and entered the volcano from other places. However, something even more sinister and weird happened. No matter where people entered the volcano from, they would die for no reason.
The aura of death had shrouded the entire volcano. Anyone who entered the area would die. The more people died, the stronger the aura of death became.
People started thinking of ways to deal with this. They planned to enter the ship from above, but it was useless. The aura of death would invade the ship and kill them.
People started digging again with their excavators, but that was also useless. The aura of death was completely immersed in the volcano. Whoever dug would die.
This was an unsolvable problem. No one could enter unless someone reached the peak of the Legendary stage!
Everyone suddenly thought of the promise that had been passed down for 8,000 years. Every leader had told Wei Huo that they wanted to become a peak Legendary figure and defeat him.
“It’s that promise!” someone said.
When the people arrived at the graveyard again, they saw the terrifying graveyard and Wei Huo, who had his eyes closed. However, at that moment, they seemed to see every tribe leader appear at the tomb. The tribe leaders were all staring at Wei Huo with bloodshot eyes.
Moreover, one could vaguely hear someone whispering, “My descendants will definitely reach the peak of the Legendary stage. They will definitely defeat you!”
It was as if people could hear Wei Huo’s answer. “I’ll wait.”
That’s right, Wei Huo kept waiting for them. He was waiting for the Skyfall Race to give birth to a real Legendary creature and fight it out with him. At the same time, every leader in the graveyard was waiting. If we cannot keep the oath, our descendants will do it!
Everyone finally understood that there was only one way to enter the volcano: by breaking through the peak of the Legendary stage and fighting their way in!
This was the hope of the ancestors for their descendants. At the same time, it was a promise inherited from the original leader.
The internal strife of the Skyfall Race had disappeared. All the members of the race were cultivating desperately. They were working hard to reach the peak of the Legendary stage.
The graveyard was also known as the Divine Tomb because of Wei Huo.
The entire volcano had turned into a tomb. Many cultivators had chosen to go there before their deaths and had died in the Divine Tomb. All of them had said the same thing. “After I die, I want to be buried here. I want to see the person who will walk in with my own eyes!”
Those who were stronger could walk deeper and be buried near Wei Huo. Those who were weaker could not withstand the aura of death and could only be buried at the entrance. However, after countless years, heroes, monsters, and snakes chose to be buried there. Then, the volcano turned into a tomb.
It was not until 5,000 years later that a peak Legendary being finally appeared among the Skyfall Race. His appearance made countless Skyfall Race members cheer, but it also made countless late-stage Legendary beings sad because they were no longer the first ones to enter the Divine Tomb.
The Legendary creature of the Skyfall Race climbed the mountain and walked into the Divine Tomb. When he was not far away from Wei Huo, he sighed. “It’s a pity that you’re dead. Am I, Kalan, invincible?”
Kalan felt a little emotional. He had gone through all sorts of difficulties to get to where he was today. He had killed countless enemies before he had reached the peak of the Legendary stage. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind him, but he could not fight Wei Huo in the end, as Wei Huo had been dead for 5,000 years.
Although Wei Huo was still sitting there and his corpse had not been destroyed by the passage of time, he had eventually lost his life.
Kalan walked in front of Wei Huo. The aura of death could not do anything to him because he was at the peak of the Legendary stage. He bowed before Wei Huo and all the tombs in front of him. “Senior, you deserve my respect. Ancestors, I’m here to keep my promise.”
Faint human figures appeared on all the tombs. They stared at Wei Huo and Kalan as if they wanted to witness this magnificent scene.
The obsessions of the dead complemented each other. He had not expected them to take human form at that moment. When Kalan saw this, he was filled with emotions. He then said, “How many heroes were buried in this Divine Tomb? How many people died in peace? Today, I will break the legend of the Divine Tomb!”
After saying that, Kalan strode forward. However, at that moment, a shadow appeared above the head of Wei Huo, who had his eyes closed. Kalan was shocked, as that shadow was Wei Huo’s shadow.
Just as Wei Huo had said, he had been waiting. At that moment, the destined battle… was finally about to happen!
