Linglong Xue walked to Qingfeng Li's side . "I once read some ancient texts," she said . "They said that the Sun Monarch from five thousand years ago wasn't native to Mars . That he came from some other saint level planet . They said that he was the first disciple of a saint . "
Hearing Linglong Xue's words, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly as he pondered to himself . The truth was, he had suspected long ago that the Sun Monarch wasn't a native of Mars . This was because the sarcophagus he was buried in was made from saint level materials .
There were no saint level materials in all of the Crimson Fire Continent . If there had been any, they would have been found by the Crimson Fire Emperor . Then, the bastard would have become a Saint long ago instead of staying at the peak of the ninth level of the monarch realm .
However, although the Crimson Fire Emperor hadn't reached the Saint Realm, he controlled the fate of the entire planet . He was the ruler of this planet's heaven and earth . Even if he were to encounter an ordinary Saint, he could still fight them as an equal .
Qingfeng Li looked ahead at the planet filled with a deathly aura . There were bones everywhere . Astonishingly, every living thing on the planet had been exterminated by the Saint . Humans, animals, plants and everything else; they had all died . Their essences and souls were all gone, leaving only piles of bleached bones behind . The entire place seemed especially terrifying, dark and cold .
Qingfeng Li sighed . "Linglong Xue," he said, "do you know what planet this is?"
Linglong Xue lifted a brow . Twin beams of blood-colored light shot out from her eyes, sweeping over the space in all directions . She observed the planet before them in detail, studying its material composition .
After a moment, Linglong Xue replied, "Where we're currently standing, the soil below our feet is all yin-aligned . There is a massive amount of baleful yin energy within the ground, and it's seeping out from far below . Look, there's a significant amount of fog in front of us . "
Qingfeng Li and Huozhu Chi both looked in the direction Linglong Xue was pointing in . True to her word, they found a trace of black baleful energy ahead of them .
The baleful energy rose from the ground . The moment it came into contact with the bleached bones on the ground, they were all corroded into bone-dust .
Even solid stone and massive dead plants were being turned to dust by this baleful yin energy . It seemed that this energy contained some unfathomable power .
Huozhu Chi's face was stark pale as he sucked in a sharp breath, backing away . "True-Yin Baleful Energy," he said, surprised . "I'd never have thought that I'd see the legendary True-Yin Baleful Energy here . "
Qingfeng Li also backed away, color draining from his face .
To the self-cultivators of in the self-cultivation world, True-Yin Baleful Energy was no doubt a terrifying thing .
Between heaven and earth, there is yin and yang; black and white . Yang represented fire, which had a searing heat that could burn anything . Yin represented water, balefulness . Yin could become a powerful baleful energy that would enter the body, resulting in death by freezing .
Qingfeng Li remembered what Dark Night Emperor had once told him . True-Yin Baleful Energy was an extremely valuable substance found only on planets where Sages resided . It would never have formed on ordinary planets .
Now, massive amounts of True-Yin Baleful Energy had appeared on this dead planet . Could it be that this was once the home of a Saint? Otherwise, how could one explain this?
In addition, this massive planet was located inside the Bronze Sarcophagus . This meant that the Bronze Sarcophagus was a powerful Saint level item in its own right, one that held a massive space within . Otherwise, it would never have been able to withstand this massive planet .
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of Qingfeng Li, Huozhu Chi, and Linglong Xue all grew grim . They now knew that they had arrived on the planet of a Saint . This was no longer the Crimson Fire Continent . This place was dangerous .
Linglong Xue glanced at Qingfeng Li . "Should we stay here and try to find a way back? Or go forward?" she asked .
Qingfeng Li thought for a moment . "We were drawn here by the green light from the Bronze Sarcophagus," he said . "We have no way of knowing where the exit was . Let's go forward and see what's here . "
With that, Qingfeng Li led the way ahead . Linglong Xue followed immediately after .
Behind them, Huozhu Chi's expression underwent a slight change . He'd realized by now that Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue had formed an alliance . For the time being, he didn't dare to make a move against Qingfeng Li .
He knew that, with his trump card, he might be able to defeat Qingfeng Li . However, he was no match for both him and Linglong Xue .
Of course, this was all in his head . Even if Huozhu Chi were to use up all his trump cards, he would still be no match for Qingfeng Li, who had the Chaos treasure that was the Black-and-White Millstone hidden in his mind-space that he'd never used .
Qingfeng Li and Linglong Xue walked quickly . In just a short while, they'd walked for over a thousand meters . Naturally, they both noticed Huozhu Chi, who trailed behind them . But Qingfeng Li didn't pay it much mind .
Although deep down, Qingfeng Li really wanted to kill Huozhu Chi right now, he also knew that this planet of death was full of hidden dangers .
If he and Huozhu Chi were to fight one another, it would be a battle of life and death . They would no doubt both sustain injuries and, maybe, some creature would even suddenly appear and kill them both . That's why Qingfeng Li held back for the time being . He needed to check out what this dead planet held first .
There were far too many bones here . Each step they took cracked more of the bleached bones underfoot . These bones had once belonged to all kinds of lifeforms . Together, the sight was enough to make anyone tremble inwardly .
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li stopped dead in his tracks . He focused his attention on his ears and listened closely . His immense mana energy had already picked up the presence of a mysterious energy hidden not far ahead of them . However, this energy was very weak .
Linglong Xue frowned, a hint of uncertainty appearing in her blood-red eyes . "Why did you stop?" she asked .
Qingfeng Li held out a finger before his lips . "Shh…" he warned quietly . "Don't talk . Listen . Isn't there a weeping sound in the air?"
Linglong Xue, too, focused on her hearing . After a moment, she shook her head . "I don't hear any weeping . "
Qingfeng Li glanced at her, not replying . He knew that his spirit energy had reached the ninth level of the monarch realm . This, along with the powerful spirit energy techniques he practiced, was the reason only he could hear the weeping, and Linglong Xue and Huozhu Chi could not .
Huozhu Chi caught up to them from behind . "Stop jumping at shadows," he chided at Qingfeng Li . "What, are you trying to scare us by telling us there's some sound? Where? I don't hear anything . Look around . This is a dead planet . There are only bones and more bones . What else could there possibly be?"
Qingfeng Li paid no attention to Huozhu Chi . To him, it really didn't matter whether Huozhu Chi was here or not . He didn't take him seriously at all .
Seeing the way Qingfeng Li was ignoring him infuriated Huozhu Chi . However, there was nothing he could do . Just as he was about to mock him some more, his expression suddenly changed .
Ahead of them, there appeared a figure, a figure made of black baleful energy fog .
