Killing God - Chapter 239
Chapter 239 Succession
What was it like to be instantly drowned by countless ghosts?
His entire body was covered in ferocious faces, large mouthfuls of ghostly flames, and faint white bones. What was that feeling like?
It was as if he had already seen the entrance of the ghost gate, as if he was going to transform into one of the ghosts in the next moment. At that moment, only a blank space remained in Shen Shi’s mind. He could not think of anything. Everything was at a loss, but his entire body was cold in despair.
Until the miserable green light in the sky suddenly lit up. The surrounding ghosts suddenly stiffened, and then the sound of ghosts crying instantly disappeared. All the fierce ghosts retreated like a tide, leaving a large space in place. Only Shen Shi was left alone. He was still hugging the incomparably sticky drop of dragon blood tightly in his arms.
The clothes on his body were damaged in many places, and obvious bloodstains could be seen on his four limbs, chest and back. Obviously, it was all caused by those ghosts who didn’t have time to stop wounding their hands earlier. However, Shen Shi quietly observed himself after calming down slightly. Fortunately, most of the injuries were skin and flesh injuries, and there weren’t any bone-shaking injuries. At the same time, he also discovered that countless ghosts had already appeared in the Bone Sea beneath the Soul Suppressing Abyss. It was completely different from when he had first arrived here. It seemed that as the mysterious ghost’s strength recovered, these ghosts began to go berserk.
However, although ghosts were rampant, until now, not a single ghost had dared to step into that cave. Even the giant claw of the Yin Dragon that extended out of the cave, almost no ghost was willing to approach.
Shen Shi raised his head. He looked up and saw that the skeleton had already stepped onto the peak of the lonely peak. From the bottom of the mountain, its figure was so tall that it was almost invisible. However, a moment later, its voice came from the sky. It was still as gentle and pleasant as that woman, but at this moment, it was more indifferent and solemn.
“Bring it up.”
Following this descending voice, the ghost that was still surrounding Shen Shi slowly cleared a path. It was precisely the remnant green light staircase that led to the sky. Shen Shi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, hugged the dragon blood, and walked forward.
However, even though the ghost had cleared a path, However, there was no intention of dispersing. When Shen Shi walked towards the green staircase, The two sides of this three-foot-wide path were still filled with countless ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and skeletons. All sorts of fierce ghosts that seemed to only exist in the legends of ghosts and ghosts had actually gathered beside him and roared at him endlessly. They gritted their teeth, as if they would pounce on him again in the next moment and eat all of his flesh and skin.
Shen Shi had never imagined that one day he would take such a terrifying path. He only felt his entire body cold. He thought that he would be afraid. In fact, he did have such a feeling. Even his body was trembling slightly, as if in the next moment, he would lose the courage to collapse to the ground.
But he didn’t.
His body shook slightly and his face was pale, but he was slowly walking forward. He gritted his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and slowly walked forward step by step.
A roar echoed in his ears. His sharp teeth, sharp claws, and white bones were shaking endlessly in front of his eyes. It was as if he was in the Netherworld, in the Ghost Sea. Every moment, it was as if he was trying to destroy his mind.
Step by step, his face became paler and paler, but his footsteps never stopped.
In the endless sea of ghosts, on the path of death where ghosts cried and wolves howled, he slowly walked over.
Life and death seemed to have never been so clearly and terrifyingly entangled until he raised his head and saw a wisp of green light. The heavenly staircase that ascended the lonely peak was already in front of his eyes.
In the end, he still managed to forcibly walk this path.
Behind him, the noisy roars of the ghosts gradually weakened. Although there were a few ghosts that seemed to roar in anger, most of the ghosts seemed to have lost some interest and slowly turned around to leave.
Shen Shi let out a long breath. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine. At some unknown time, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, back, and even on his palms. Apart from his chest, it was still warm because the thick drop of dragon blood was held in his embrace. A faint warmth was transmitted from the dragon blood.
Shen Shi raised his head again and looked at the peak of Lonely Peak. He discovered that the skeleton had disappeared from the peak, and he did not know where it had gone. After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at the dark cave. At this moment, there seemed to be only one place under the Soul Suppressing Abyss that was not enveloped by the miserable green light. There was still the last remaining darkness that stayed in the cave.
He stared deeply at the place, a complicated expression flashing across his eyes, but then he turned his head again. Without any hesitation, he stepped onto this light staircase, heading towards the peak of the lonely peak, towards the depths of the green light, towards the high skeleton, step by step.
“Roar!”
In the depths of the Ghost Sea, an unknown ghost roared towards the sky, immediately attracting the roars of the surroundings. It rippled like waves, surging layer upon layer, instantly transforming into a sharp howl that soared into the sky.
Under the Soul Suppressing Abyss, ten thousand ghosts howled.

Shen Shi stepped onto the green stairs and turned his head for the last time. He couldn’t see through the darkness of the cave. However, the old man and Little Hei, who were lying on the ground, could clearly see his actions. Including the fact that Shen Shi had struggled through the terrifying Ghost Sea Path before, they could clearly see it.
Little Black was obviously a little restless. He moved around, his eyes constantly looking out of the cave. Although there were thousands of ghosts there that were extremely fierce, it was also very fearful. However, amongst the thousands of ghosts, that familiar figure resolutely walked with great difficulty, causing this little Black pig to feel as if it was going to rush to his side regardless of everything.
It twisted its body several times, and finally seemed to be unable to endure any longer. When it jumped up and was about to charge, it heard the old man beside it whispering, “Don’t go over.”
Little Hei’s body paused for a moment, then he slowly turned around and suddenly let out a low roar.
This was the first time it had shown disrespect to this old man who had always been in awe of him.
The old man seemed a little surprised. He glanced at it, He then smiled, The old man looked out of the cave and saw Shen Shi stepping onto the staircase. He recalled how Shen Shi had struggled through the sea of ghosts just now, but he nodded his head once in a blue moon. “You look fine, master,” he said.
Little Black’s temper that he had just exuded suddenly disappeared. He slowly walked to the old man’s side and lay down. He seemed to know that even if he followed Shen Shi, it would be useless. He could only wait here for the almost hopeless future.
Its head lowered slightly and landed on the ground. Gradually, a trace of sadness that it had never felt before seemed to emanate from its body.
The old man quietly stared at Little Hei. After a moment, he said indifferently, “Life and death have their own lives. He has chosen this path, so there is nothing to regret.” “It’s you,” he said softly as he raised his right hand with some difficulty. “Is your name Little Hei? Well, that doesn’t sound too good. Why do I sound like the stupid black dragon … Forget it, no matter how many you are, come here.”
As he spoke, he waved to Little Hei.
Xiao Hei glanced at him and slowly stood up before walking to him.
The old man stared at Little Hei for a moment. His right hand moved horizontally, However, it reached towards the wound on the dragon’s body that Shen Shi had just taken away the dragon blood from. Since it was originally different from the dried flesh and blood around it in luster like a new piece of flesh and blood, After the giant dragon’s true blood left his body, the luster had already dimmed considerably. Even the remaining dragon scales had lost more than half of their luster. It didn’t seem long before this piece of Yin Dragon flesh, which was still relatively intact in the end, was about to lose all of its vitality, just like the withered dragon bodies around it.
The old man stretched out his hand towards the wound, but his gaze had always been on Little Hei. Although his eyes were cloudy, his gaze was very gentle. There was even a faint trace of love that had never appeared on his body.
“Xiao Hei, I’m also dying.” He smiled and said to Xiao Hei.
④
“I’m ranked second among the three ancient dragons. In the past, I took on the divine decree. I want to … uh, don’t you like to hear it?”
Little Hei snorted and rubbed his head against the old man’s body.
A bitter smile appeared on Old Dragon’s withered face. He shook his head slightly. However, his expression was even more gentle. At this moment, his right hand had already touched the wound. He didn’t know how to move, Suddenly, the wound twitched violently. Afterwards, a blood ball that was only the size of an egg was dozens of times smaller than the drop of dragon blood that Shen Shi had taken away earlier. In the bright red light, it looked like an illusion of a complete Yin Dragon slowly swimming. It slowly rolled out and dripped onto the old dragon’s palm.
“Pa!”
With a muffled sound, almost at the same time the drop of dragon blood left his body, the scales instantly lost all luster and fell from his flesh. The dragon body around the wound also withered at a speed visible to the naked eye in an instant.
The old dragon turned a blind eye to the withered body of the dragon. His gaze was only fixed on the small drop of dragon blood in his palm. After a long time, he said softly, “I have no descendants in my life, but I saw you before I died. Although I did not mean it, it is Samsara Karma. I will leave it to you to inherit my Yin Dragon bloodline.”
Little Hei looked a little confused. He took a step back and suddenly looked outside the cave. Then, he called out to the old man. The old dragon shook his head and said, “No, he’s just an ordinary human. How can he withstand the True Dragon bloodline?”
With that, his palm suddenly flipped and covered Little Hei’s forehead. A wisp of red light suddenly lit up and instantly enveloped Little Hei’s entire body.
Amidst the red light, Little Hei’s body trembled violently. His hands and feet instantly straightened. Then, his body began to struggle and shake non-stop. It seemed that he was suffering from an unbearable pain. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he seemed to be unable to escape from the old dragon’s withered palm at all.
This scene did not last long, After a while, the red light shrouded Xiao Hei’s body, The light began to fade away, Then the old dragon loosened his grip. Xiao Hei’s body immediately softened and he collapsed to the ground. He gasped heavily, but when he saw that his entire body was as thick as usual. Only a red crystal the size of a thumb appeared in the middle of his forehead above his eyes. It was embedded in his skin and flesh. Occasionally, light flowed and a faint dragon image could be vaguely seen swaying within.
After doing all of this, the old dragon seemed to be a little more tired than before. However, he always looked like he was about to die of old age, so it was not easy to distinguish between them for a moment. However, at this moment, the surrounding light suddenly began to slowly fade away. Including the ball of light on the stone wall, darkness once again descended into this huge cave like a tide. In the quiet cave, apart from Little Hei’s occasional groans of pain, only the tired words of the old dragon could be heard.
“Little Hei, I gave you the True Dragon Bloodline. You will become stronger in the future.”
“Your current body is too weak. Most of your dragon power is hidden in the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone on your head. You will slowly absorb it in the future.”
“There’s still a strand of my dragon soul remnant in the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone. Our dragon race values returning souls to their ancestors. One day, you have to find the Dragon Realm and put my remnant soul on the Ancestral Dragon Altar.”
‘”Oh … you are not the bloodline of the Origin Dragon Race, after all. All of us are arrogant and arrogant. Maybe if you go to the Dragon Realm, it will make you look ugly. What should we do? Why don’t you endure it?”
“Sigh …”
“I wonder what the Dragon Realm will look like after so many years …”
In the darkness, his voice gradually became low and deep, and finally fell into silence.
