Chapter 126 The Birth of the Beast God
In the heart of southern Xinjiang, there is a high mountain that is shrouded in black mist and howled by eerie winds all year round.
Beneath this barren mountain, devoid of any trees or grass, lies a large, gaping hole.
The cave entrance is three zhang high and fifteen zhang wide, from which a constant gust of cold wind howls year-round, accompanied by sharp, strange noises, as if some raging soul is roaring incessantly.
In the very center of the cave entrance stands a life-sized stone statue, which appears to be a beautiful woman, facing the depths of the Demon-Suppressing Cave, standing silently.
The ever-howling, eerie wind relentlessly lashes against the stone statue, producing a low, guttural sound, like a fragile wooden plank used to shield it from the storm.
However, she seemed determined never to back down!
At that moment, a faint light suddenly appeared deep within the dark cave. Although the light was extremely weak, it was particularly striking in the darkness.
The eerie light flickered softly in the darkness, its glow uncertain, like a summons, an allure, a yearning…
As time went by, the eerie light gradually grew stronger, illuminating the surroundings.
On the uneven ground, there were scattered decaying bones, some human, some of wild beasts.
The massive cave walls, made of hard rock, revealed countless dense, crisscrossing cracks under the dim light, as if they had been torn apart by a human, a shocking sight.
Not far away was an open flat area where the stone walls were mostly intact, but on the ground were many huge skeletons, most of which were intact. Upon closer inspection, there were as many as thirteen skeletons.
These thirteen skeletons, each with a different shape and exuding a strong demonic aura, are arranged in a circle at varying distances, all facing inwards and outwards, as if guarding something.
In the very center of the circle formed by thirteen skeletons, a life-sized skeleton lies quietly on a white jade platform only three inches high.
Unlike the surrounding skeletons, this humanoid skeleton was covered with silk. Despite the passage of time, the silk remained vividly colored under the dim light.
It seemed as if some unseen force had been released.
Suddenly, the thirteen skeletons in the cave all raised their heads and roared towards the sky!
The sound of fierce wind, mixed with sinister laughter, began to echo in the ancient cave.
On the jade platform, the piece of silk wrapped around the white bones rose into the air and danced incessantly in mid-air, like the tentacles of a demon.
A man dressed in black slowly emerged from the darkness.
The person seemed to have emerged from the darkness, shrouded in black from head to toe, with only two empty, hollow eyes that were quite frightening.
Moreover, judging from his stiff body, he didn't walk out, but rather floated out of the air, two feet off the ground.
"What happened?" the man in black asked.
Inside the ancient cave, a voice, carrying a chilling aura, echoed softly.
"The guardian beasts of the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation have suddenly disappeared..."
The last note lingered, echoing between the rock walls.
A nearly three-zhang-long white bone serpent slowly began to move, with three pairs of beautiful, colorful wings on its back, which made it look particularly terrifying.
"Go, retrieve everything I need..."
The white-boned serpent and the man in black walked together towards the exit of the Demon-Suppressing Ancient Cave.
………………
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Qilidong, the largest Miao settlement on the southern border, was now a scene of bloodshed and wailing.
A group of warriors, like demons, with ferocious bear head tattoos on their chests, charged wildly out of the darkness, roaring and charging.
Their eyes were filled with fanaticism and bloodlust. The leader, a towering figure with a bare, scarred upper body, wielded a massive stone axe and fought with unparalleled ferocity.
The white bone serpent that emerged from the Demon-Suppressing Cave appeared on a mountaintop not far away. It flapped the three pairs of wings on its back bones, and its tongue flicked in and out, spewing out streams of black gas.
Various strange monsters and alien races surged out from behind the white bone serpent, shrieking, grinning, brandishing weapons, and brandishing their sharp claws, rushing down the mountain and pouncing on the terrified people in the valley.
The next day, as the sun rose in the east, the sky south of the Ten Thousand Mountains mysteriously darkened.
A bolt of lightning pierced through the dark clouds.
A thunderclap boomed across the sky.
Thunder roared, tearing the sky apart in the blink of an eye. Countless dark clouds surged and gathered above the Demon-Suppressing Cave, as if boiling over.
A flash of red light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
A man wrapped in an incredibly vibrant silk robe appeared at the entrance to the Demon-Suppressing Cave. Behind him, howls echoed through the black mist, and shadows swayed, as if countless demons were roaring with ecstatic joy.
His back view alone seemed somewhat unusual.
The man stood silently beside the stone statue at the cave entrance. After a long while, he slowly reached out and gently stroked the cold stone statue.
The low sound echoed quietly in the wind and rain, traversing millions of years and countless storms and snows.
"exquisite……"
The changes in the heart of southern Xinjiang naturally did not escape the notice of the cultivators gathered in the border region.
Lin Yi stood atop the city wall of Dingnan, gazing southwards.
The Beast God has been born. What choice will Burning Incense Valley make?
