Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4379  Strange Appearance.

All the way forwards, there were corpses.

There were men and women among the corpses, old and young. The difference in cultivation level was also very wide. There were those who had just reached the Foundation Building Tier, and there were even mortals among them. And in the strongest case, there were even Sect Master-level corpses, but in this place, they all died the same way, regardless of status.

”This definitely wasnʼt a war.”

”Itʼs extremely likely that this demonic mist suddenly surged out and instantly covered the entire area. Thus, when these people fled, they were all hit and died on the ground.”

The two Saints were deducing what had happened all those years ago. Perhaps this was the truth.

They walked for a while longer, when they suddenly heard a strange sound.

It was a little like the sound of grinding teeth, but also like a strange laugh. It could not be accurately described.

The Black Flames Saint humphed coldly, and said, ”Whoʼs playing tricks? Show yourself!” With a flutter of his sleeve, boom! Mist billowed into the surroundings, instantly clearing a 60-meter radius in front of him.

However, he couldnʼt see anything strange at all.

The two Saints frowned upon hearing this. They were certain that what they had heard wasnʼt an illusion. However, what kind of being was capable of playing tricks on them?

They continued onwards. They had not taken too many steps, when that strange sound rang out again.

This time, they were sure that this should be laughter, though they did not know what kind of monster could release it.

This mysterious being seemed to be toying with them. No matter how the two Saints searched, ”he” would always be able to react in advance, and they would not be able to discover its presence at all.

Thus, it was unknown whether this was a man or a woman, or even a human.

The two Saints couldnʼt help but speed up involuntarily. What kind of existence were they? They were the strongest great elites in the world, so how could they accept such humiliation?

For Saints, they were only slightly faster, but for Ling Han and the others, it was very straining.

”So heavy!” Niu Feixu, the only woman among the eight of them, exclaimed.

The gravity fields here seemed to be extremely strong. Previously, she could still hold on, but if she had to travel quickly as well, she wouldnʼt be able to hold on any longer.

In truth, Ling Han and the others were the same as well. However, they were all men, so they were too embarrassed to speak up.

Hearing her say this, they all looked towards Niu Feixu.

And with this look, everyone felt their hair stand on end.

—On Niu Feixuʼs back, there was shockingly a black shadow lying there. When it saw everyone look over, it actually raised its head, and smiled at them, releasing a strange sound that sounded like it was grinding its teeth.

This smile was too terrifying, because it was a black shadow in the first place. It had no facial features, but when it smiled, it actually revealed a mouth. There were two rows of teeth that were triangular in shape, and there was a blank at the back of the mouth.

Ling Han noticed that the fingers of this black shadow were especially long, about three times the length of his palm.

Hiss, this guy was the murderer who had killed those people previously.

No, no, the two Saints had already said that these people had been dead for at least several hundred million years. If this black shadow was the culprit, it would be even more powerful than the Great Emperor. It was actually able to survive for so many years.

Like Buddha Doga, had he lived a second life? Or had he suppressed himself, and had only just been released recently?

It was also because of the appearance of this black shadow that this planet was no longer hidden and appeared in the world?

”Humph! Demons and monsters, you actually dare to commit violence!” the Black Flame Saint roared. He made a grabbing motion at the air.

”Zhi!” The black shadow instantly released a terrible scream. It was far from having the power of a Saint, and with this attack from the Saint, it was instantly shattered into pieces, turning into clouds of black mist that fused into the surrounding demonic mist.

Was this black shadow a part of the demonic mist?

Everyone shuddered in apprehension. This was far too uncanny! There were clearly Imperial Weapons here, and there were clearly two Saints standing guard here. Yet, this black shadow had snuck onto Niu Feixuʼs body without anyone noticing.

Hold on!

Everyone shivered, and looked at each other. They inhaled sharply again, breaking out in a cold sweat.

That was because there were black shadows lying on top of their bodies as well!

When had they lain on their backs? Why had they not sensed anything at all?

The two Saints moved at the same time, and killed the black shadows on everyoneʼs bodies.

Though none of them had sustained any injuries, a black palm print had been left on their necks. The palm was very normal, but their fingers were frighteningly long, making oneʼs hair stand on end.

”This thing isnʼt very powerful,” the Nine Mountains Saint said.

”Thatʼs right. Itʼs possible that they are only True Self Tier, but the strange thing is that they donʼt seem to exist at all. Even our divine senses have been deceived,” the Black Flames Saint said.

And this was still the True Self Tier. If it was a Venerate Tier, or even a Saint Tier, then with such a sudden strike, even a Saint would probably be out of luck, right?

It was no wonder that the Azure Wood Saint, who had been the first to enter, could only flee in a sorry state. They had the Imperial Weapons protecting them, and it still happened to them, so it was naturally even worse for the Azure Wood Saint.

”Humph! Do you really think that Iʼm a weakling if I donʼt unleash my might?” the Black Flames Saint said coldly. Boom! He unleashed the unique aura of a Saint, and it instantly surged into the surroundings like a vast river.

Under the barrage of his aura, the demonic mist was instantly forced back.

Previously, it was only the Saint that had not wanted to waste his energy, but now that he had become serious, and unleashed the might of a Saint, that was no joke either.

However, even if the Saint unleashed its might, it could only push the demonic mist 300 meters away, and could not take another step further.

”Neigh!” Three hundred meters away, balls of black mist condensed, turning into multiple human figures. However, they were only human figures. Their facial features could not be seen, and their limbs were extraordinarily long, far from the proportions of ordinary people.

These black shadows stared at Ling Han and the others. Some opened their mouths, and their triangular teeth were incredibly sharp.

”Die!” the Black Flame Saint roared as he charged over and unleashed a palm strike. Saintly power surged into the surroundings.

Peng, with a palm strike, those black shadows all crumbled, fusing into the demonic mist.

A scene that shocked everyone appeared. A black shadow appeared behind the Black Flame Saint, then stretched out its astonishingly long five fingers, and slowly grabbed out at the Black Flame Saintʼs neck.

However, it was as if the Black Flames Saint hadnʼt noticed this. Even someone as powerful as the Saint hadnʼt noticed that a black shadow had appeared behind him.

This caused everyoneʼs hair to stand on end. This was too shocking. How could it be that even the Saint did not react at all?

”Friend!” the Nine Mountains Saint hurriedly shouted. ”Watch your back!”

The Black Flames Saint didnʼt turn around. Instead, he directly launched a palm strike behind him. The Regulations transformed into a supreme divine blade that could even sever the sun and moon.

Sure enough, the black shadow was obliterated. It was no match at all.

However, after this incident, the two Saints were also frowning deeply.

It was as if this black shadow had a unique ability that could cut off divine sense. It could only be seen directly by the naked eye. Thus, even Saints would be unable to guard against its stealthy appearance.

Were they going to go any deeper?

The two Saints hesitated. This area of demonic mist was really too big, and their divine sense could only cover a limited area. If they wanted to find the Saintly medicine in such a large place, that was practically looking for a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, it was impossible to guard against the black shadows in the demonic mist. Who could guarantee that there would never be any mistakes?
