Volume 13: Sword Immortal Chapter 12: King of the Burial Ground
"Since we can't find him, why not force him to show up?" Luo Jia thought for a long time, and suddenly a bold idea flashed through his mind.
Once this idea comes into my mind, I cannot get rid of it.
"You all must leave the burial ground immediately and block off the perimeter of the burial ground." Luo Jia finally made up his mind and gave the order.
"What about you?" An old demon cultivator from the Asura clan noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly.
"Me?" Luo Jia sneered, "Back then, my father went deep into the burial ground and met the king of the burial ground. The two sides reached a 'peace' agreement. Since I have also come to the burial ground this time, there is no reason not to 'visit' the king of the burial ground."
"Your Highness..." The old demon cultivator was obviously someone who knew the inside story. He immediately guessed Luo Jia's thoughts, was quite frightened, and wanted to say something.
"No need to say more," Luo Jia's blue eyes revealed a ferocious look, "Are you going to watch my Asura clan endure this humiliation?"
The old demon cultivator dared not say any more.
As the most famous war clan in the abyss, the Asura clan possesses the pride and madness unique to the war clan.
…
"Huh?" After killing another middle-level demon lord, Lu Qingshan, who was hiding away, noticed something was wrong at this time.
Because, in his mind's eye, he could no longer find the existence of any demon cultivator.
Although there are still many red dots representing living beings, most of these red dots are stationary or moving in a small range.
Lu Qingshan knew that this was usually the case with the creatures in the burial ground.
If the demon cultivators wanted to hunt him down, it was impossible for them to just circle around in the same place, let alone stay still.
"What's going on? Have you given up?"
Lu Qingshan had a hunch that something was wrong.
He didn't think that the Asuras would give up hunting him so easily.
Since they are not giving up, then there must be another conspiracy.
The problem was that he had no other information, and he couldn't figure out the demons' plans through analysis.
"We can only wait and see." Lu Qingshan said to himself.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
Since he had gone deep into the Black Armor Territory alone, he was prepared to face all kinds of unexpected possibilities and did not think that he would always have smooth sailing.
…
Luo Jia moved forward quickly in the burial ground.
He released his powerful aura unscrupulously, causing the creatures in the burial grounds along the way to tremble in fear, and no one dared to provoke him.
That is the pressure from a top demon lord.
As the most outstanding offspring of Luohu, Luojia has great fighting power. Even in a place like the burial ground, it is thought that only the king of the burial ground can defeat him. Therefore, he can walk on flat ground in dangerous places as if it were flat ground.
This is the confidence and publicity brought by absolute strength.
After crossing one mountain after another, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. No more monkey cries or tiger roars could be heard, and no ancient beasts appeared in this area.
Luo Jia knew that he was close to the destination of this journey.
He walked for a while, and finally a strange area appeared in front of him.
The burial ground is full of lush ancient trees, each of which has grown extremely large and has gone through a long period of time.
The same goes for other plants, all of which grow extremely lushly. One vine is as thick as a python, a scene that you will never see anywhere else.
But here, there is no grass and it is very desolate.
What's even more bizarre is that the ground in this area is a deep dark red, with no grass or trees growing on it, and the soil has no texture. It even flows slowly like water.
There are countless skeletons scattered on the dark red ground.
After a quick glance, Luo Jia recognized that many of the skeletons were powerful ancient beasts that were recorded in history.
The one with a thick skeleton should be the transformation of a golden dragon elephant, which is a powerful ancient beast famous for its attack power. Its bloodline is noble and rare, and it has long been extinct in this era.
The skeleton that resembles a human but is extremely slender is Liu Yelan, an extremely strange ancient beast. It has an extremely beautiful appearance, but it possesses an extremely powerful source spirit that kills people invisibly. It has long been extinct and is hard to find in the world...
This place is like a huge cemetery, gathering countless powerful ancient beasts that existed in ancient times.
But now only a skeleton is left of them. However, because they were so powerful when they were alive, even after such a long time, the skeleton is still intact and has not turned into dust.
"The real burial place..." Luo Jia muttered to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.
The reason why the burial ground is called a burial ground is that the real origin is actually here, not the rumor from the outside world that almost everyone who enters the burial ground is buried here.
This is the real burial place.
The ground is dark red.
That's because there's blood flowing in it.
This real burial ground was formed by blood.
After so many years, the ground has not returned to its original state and the air is still filled with a strong smell of blood.
It is hard to imagine how many lives fought and died here, with blood flowing for tens of thousands of miles, to form such an area.
Gazing from afar, Luo Jia could see that in this eerie and strange place, there was an ancient tree growing in the very center.
The ancient tree is very tall and its color is very special. It is scarlet like blood, which should be caused by the nourishment of the burial ground.
It has many large branches that stretch out in all directions, in strange shapes, like withered hands.
What’s strange is that there is not a single leaf on so many branches, as if they have been dead for many years.
This is an ancient tree full of demonic power, and it looks very extraordinary at first glance.
This is also true.
At this moment, Luo Jia's expression became extremely serious and his movements became very cautious.
He knew that the ancient tree was not dead, it was just dormant.
As this tree could make a figure like Luo Jia behave like this, one could imagine that the origin of this ancient tree must be extremely terrifying!
…
There has been a rumor circulating in the Buddha King Realm about the burial ground. It is said that there is an ancient beast with strength comparable to that of the Shura King existing in the burial ground. With unparalleled strength, it is undoubtedly the king of the burial ground.
There is no doubt that the King of the Burial Ground exists.
However, few people know the origin and appearance of the King of the Burial Ground.
Only the four Shura Kings understood that the so-called King of the Burial Ground was not the ancient beast as rumored... but a magical plant, an ancient tree that had survived since ancient times.
In ancient times, no one knew why, perhaps it was a fight for treasures, or perhaps it was a fight for magical medicine... In short, for some reason, a catastrophe occurred here, and countless lives died here.
Their blood flowed out, turning the land here into the most evil burial ground, with no grass growing and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
But it was in this place that a seed sprouted.
It absorbed the blood in the burial ground as nutrients and continued to grow. After countless years, it finally became the king of the burial ground today.
As we all know, plant creatures are restricted because of their root systems and are not only unable to fly, but it is even difficult for them to move.
But where there is loss there is gain.
Precisely because its roots are deeply rooted in the earth, it can continuously draw strength from the earth. Therefore, within its domain, the combat power of plant creatures far exceeds that of other creatures of the same level.
The burial ground is the domain of the king of burial grounds.
This is the real reason why the Four Shura Kings have always tolerated the existence of the burial ground - within the burial ground, the combat power of the king of the burial ground is even stronger than theirs.
…
Luo Jia did not move forward rashly, but just looked around, and finally found a broken stone tablet nearby.
The stone tablet is dark red, with mottled bloodstains on it. The overall look is ancient and exudes the breath of time. It is unknown how many years it has existed.
There is a large character engraved on it that is as vigorous as a dragon.
That is the word for "burial" in the ancient demon language.
There should be more words below, but the stone tablet has been broken.
"This is it." Luo Jia confirmed.
He moved his body to above the stone tablet and looked towards the center of the burial ground again.
Because there is some distance between the two, even though the King of Burial Ground's body is extremely huge, its outline still appears very blurry.
"Roar!" Luo Jia no longer hesitated and let out a roar that echoed throughout the dead silent burial ground, driving terrible sound waves and rushing towards the king of the burial ground.
"Raka, son of Rahu, comes to visit the King of the Burial Ground!"
The sound wave is not a flying sword. After such a long distance, it has lost its power by the time it reaches the King of the Burial Ground.
However, it disturbed the slumber of the King of the Burial Ground.
The next moment, the dead tree seemed to have turned into a demon god. Its branches suddenly stretched out and turned into a pair of outstretched dead hands, moving quickly towards where Luo Jia was.
Almost at the same time, an indescribable tragic aura rose from the ground, like a tangible weapon slashing over, covering the sky and the earth, and attacking Luo Jia's sea of consciousness with astonishing power.
It will take some time for the branches of the King of the Burial Ground to extend over , but its roots are spread throughout the entire burial ground, so it can launch an attack immediately.
At this moment, it was the roots of the King of the Burial Ground that triggered the attack from the weirdness of the burial ground.
Luo Jia's whole body trembled suddenly, and a trace of blood flowed out from the pores between his eyebrows.
Although he was prepared, he still suffered a terrible shock .
This was because he had heard his father Luohou talk about the origin and ways of the King of the Burial Ground, and he had a clear idea of it. Otherwise, it would have been even more terrifying.
But Luo Jia did not take the attack of the King of Burial Ground seriously, and even intensified it.
He used his fighting skills, causing rays of heavenly fire to emerge from the void and then smash into the broken monument beneath him.
The broken monument rumbled under the attack of the heavenly fire, but it could not be destroyed so easily. Strange symbols appeared on its surface, which completely disintegrated the heavenly fire.
Although the broken monument was fine, Luo Jia's action undoubtedly completely angered the King of the Burial Ground.
boom!
The void collapsed, and the branches of the King of the Burial Ground had extended to this place, like one black heavenly sword after another, slashing towards Luo Jia!
Luo Jia was well prepared. He stepped into the air and ripples appeared in all directions, and he actually moved horizontally for thousands of miles.
After dodging the attack from the King of the Burial Ground, Luo Jia turned around and fled in the direction he came from.
