Chapter 1052: Chapter 716: Dayan Jinshou
The purple-faced man screamed in terror, his voice distorted, as he tore off someone else’s skin, but it looked as if he was peeling his own!
The immense pain made him wish for death!
Even though at the level of the Heavenly Connection Realm, the physical body no longer mattered as much, and the soul was key, in this eerie place, it was as if his soul was being ripped open!
This pain was terrifying, almost making the purple-faced man wish for death, yet he did not stop, still tearing off the skin of the skin-and-bone person.
At the scene, apart from the three Inquiry Dao Realm experts of the Demon Race whose expressions remained unchanged, there were seven others around them, all pale with fright!
Because these seven people were kidnapped by the Demon Race, without exception, their fate would be similar to the purple-faced man’s!
Mo Bufan smiled faintly, such scenes were commonplace for the Demon Race, not worth mentioning. He kidnapped these Yi Tribe people to use them as sacrifices.
Soon, the purple-faced man completely tore open the skin of the skin-and-bone person, revealing the black iron skeleton inside, while his own body was bloodied.
The black iron skeleton seemed to come to life, emitting a black light, covering the purple-faced man like a maggot attached to bones.
The screams Abruptly Stop!
The purple-faced man’s entire body emitted sizzling sounds of corrosion, turning into a black mist, which was then absorbed by the black iron skeleton.
At this moment, his skin suddenly seemed to come alive, automatically attaching itself to the black iron skeleton.
With a gust of wind, the previously torn seams began to heal.
In just a blink, the black iron skeleton originally covered with the young man’s skin transformed into the purple-faced man.
Even the clothes unknowingly exchanged!
"The Rushou Tribe’s ancient Skin and Bone Array must rely on sacrificing a living cultivator to enter, primarily to weaken the force going in. Such methods align with our style." Mo Bufan explained with a smile.
Mo Gui nodded slightly, without saying much.
The torn skin floated in mid-air, about to fall, and Mo Bufan immediately reached out to grab the broken skin, then said, "Follow me!"
With this skin, the skin-and-bone people no longer blocked them, making way unexpectedly.
Mo Bufan raised a hand and threw the skin out, which instantly ignited, soon causing the black mist ahead to begin condensing into a vortex, and Mo Bufan immediately led the group to rush into the vortex!
Xiang Beifei finally understood the method Diviner divined.
Earlier, Diviner said he had divined a way to enter, but didn’t reveal it, specifically mentioning not to let Xifeng know, likely due to concern over this!
If Xifeng knew that entering required a sacrifice, he would definitely do like Mo Bufan, forcing them to tear off the skin from the iron skeleton.
However, now that Mo Bufan went in, and the vortex hadn’t completely disappeared, Xifeng saw this and shouted, "Go!"
He immediately took Xiang Beifei and Diviner, and before the vortex disappeared, they too rushed into the vortex!
Ahead, like stars shifting, a strange city unfolded before their eyes.
The architecture of this city was primitive, not much different from the cities in the Edge Corner Airspace, except the building materials had changed from breath soil to various metals, like a city of black iron floating in the void, larger than any city Xiang Beifei had ever seen!
Ten thousand years have passed, and this city of black iron also suffered from warfare, leaving many battle scars, its walls pockmarked, yet the basic appearance remained intact.
The three Inquiry Dao Realm Demon Race people ahead hadn’t discovered Xiang Beifei and the others, Xifeng’s capability was quite adept, knowing how to avoid the Demon Race.
The Demon Race did not immediately enter the Rushou city, as the Rushou Tribe has thrived here for ten thousand years, indicating this is no ordinary place.
It is said that the leader Rushou, to prevent all the tribe’s secrets from falling into the hands of the Dao Palace, modified the formation, turning this place into a killing city, not only killing invaders but also its own people.
Leader Rushou relied on a self-destructive protective method, preserving the last hope of the tribe and marking the Dao Palace’s aura, which is why the Dao Palace has been unable to conquer this place over ten thousand years.
"It’s said if one obtains the source iron of Rushou Dao God, they can control the entire relic. This source iron should be buried within the relic." Mo Bufan said slowly, standing in the void.
Mo Gui said, "None of you have breath soil on you, right?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good, bringing breath soil into this Rushou city means certain death!" Mo Gui warned.
Yet, apart from the three Inquiry Dao Realm Demon Race experts, the other low-skilled Yi Tribe people still felt hopeless, for they were forced here as scapegoats, even without breath soil, they would face unknown sacrifices later, suffering a fate not much better than the purple-faced man.
Mo Bufan searched through the entire relic for a moment, then his eyes lit up, saying, "Found the imprint! The Demon Ancestor’s records were indeed correct!"
He landed on the nearest black iron bridge, which led from the sky to a gate of the Rushou city wall, the gate crafted entirely of black gold, imposing and dominant, a hundred meters tall, engraved with complex and obscure patterns and text, like talismans.
