Is the Bai Qiling reacting?
A flicker of doubt crossed Chen Yifei's mind as he held the Bai Qiling in his hand and continued forward.
The appearance of the Bai Qiling was extremely suspicious, as if someone had transmitted it to him from the depths of the ancient relics through the God of War's Path... Now, as Chen Yifei ventured deeper into the ancient relics, the Bai Qiling was reacting again, perhaps guiding him somewhere?
As Chen Yifei gradually penetrated deeper into the ancient relics, the giant sword piercing through the heavens and earth was slowly approaching him, with an inexplicable chill lingering around him, as if it could freeze his bones.
This chill was not physical cold but an inexplicable sensation, like walking through a mass grave in the middle of the night, feeling as if someone was staring at him, causing him to feel creeped out.
Chen Yifei suddenly realized that, in a sense, he was also walking through a great tomb...
A war tomb that had existed since the birth of humanity.
Chen Yifei's gaze swept around, and he saw large gullies scattered across the land... No, they couldn't be called gullies anymore; they were "pits," accommodating hundreds or even thousands of motionless figures, resembling sculptures, akin to the Terracotta Warriors he had visited.
In the trial area, the largest gully Chen Yifei had seen could only accommodate fifty people, but here, a casual glance revealed pits with hundreds as the starting point, and as he ventured deeper, pits with thousands were everywhere.
"It's getting colder," Chen Yifei's brows furrowed.
Just when the surrounding chill became unbearable, the Bai Qiling in his hand became increasingly hot, like a miniaturized sun clutched in his grasp, driving all the chill away half a meter away.
However, Chen Yifei didn't feel burned while holding the token; instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Where did it want to guide him?
Chen Yifei's pace unconsciously accelerated. As he gradually approached the black giant sword, he seemed to vaguely see something flashing around him... A feeling of being watched surged in his heart.
But whenever Chen Yifei turned to look, he couldn't see their shadows, as if they were just his hallucinations.
There was something in the depths of the ancient relics!
Chen Yifei's brows furrowed even more, and just when he couldn't help but want to return the way he came, a colossal pit appeared in front of him.
It was a circular pit with a diameter of several kilometers. Under the dim sky, it seemed endless. Standing at the edge of this pit, Chen Yifei felt as insignificant as an ant.
Shock appeared in Chen Yifei's eyes.
How many people could such a large pit accommodate? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions??
This was the largest pit Chen Yifei had seen since entering the ancient relics of the God of War's Path. All the other pits that refreshed soldiers combined were not as large as this one... But strangely, this colossal pit was empty.
There were no regularly refreshing murderous aura projections inside. The empty center of the colossal pit only had a lonely mound standing.
A piercing chill emanated from the pit. Even with the token in his hand, Chen Yifei couldn't help but shiver... His naked eyes couldn't see anything in the pit, but he could almost hear the countless murderous, resentful spirits crying out above the pit.
Chen Yifei suddenly recalled that he had read in a history book that the Qin general Bai Qi had buried alive 400,000 Zhao troops after the Battle of Changping. It was also because of this that Bai Qi's name as the "God of Killing" was passed down through the ages.
Chen Yifei's gaze fell on the only lonely mound in the center of the colossal pit, and his eyes slightly narrowed.
This colossal pit didn't refresh murderous aura projections like the other pits... Instead, there was a lonely mound. Did this mean that this lonely mound was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of murderous aura projections?
"Could that be..."
Chen Yifei looked at the hot token in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then entered the colossal pit, heading straight for the lonely mound.
As Chen Yifei approached, he slowly saw the whole picture of the lonely mound. Rather than a mound, it was more like a half-human-high grave... There was nothing in front of the grave, comparable to the mass grave Chen Yifei had buried before.
How could the mighty God of Killing Bai Qi be buried in such a place?
Chen Yifei's heart was filled with doubts. He stopped before the desolate grave, and the warmth of the token in his hand gradually faded, as if guiding him here was its sole purpose.
At the same time, a chilling aura emerged around him. On the ground before the desolate grave, a line of blood-red words seemed to seep out from the bottom of the soil, slowly appearing:
"Bow three times and kowtow nine times, and I will grant you divine powers."
Upon seeing these words, Chen Yifei's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Before he could react, an even colder aura exploded from the emptiness behind him. Countless crimson eyes suddenly opened, their gazes piercing through the boundaries of the theater, like the invisible roar of a ferocious beast that could destroy the world!
A fierce wind swirled up from within Chen Yifei, crashing into the desolate grave opposite him.
Almost simultaneously, a condensed black murderous aura, almost substantial, erupted from the earthy grave, as if the master of this desolate grave, standing in the endless past, was also sending a chilling murderous gaze here!
Boom——!!
Two terrifying auras collided in the massive pit, like circular waves bursting outward, their aftermath lifting the surrounding sandstone and soil, revealing the eerie blood-red color and piled-up white bones underneath.
On the land before the desolate grave, a large, gruesome word formed by seeping blood:
"Calamity."
Chen Yifei stood at the edge of the colliding auras, his red theatrical robe fluttering in the wind. He shielded his eyes with his hand, as the black murderous aura swirled around him, the terrifying oppressive sensation nearly suffocating him.
"Did the audience clash with Bai Qi?"
This thought flashed through Chen Yifei's mind, and he suddenly felt a surge of joy.
If Bai Qi could contend with the audience, would he have the possibility to completely annihilate them? If the audience died here, he would also be completely free!
Once this thought arose, it was difficult to dispel. Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as Chen Yifei had hoped. Through his fingers, he could see the desolate grave trembling, as if it would soon crumble.
The crimson eyes behind Chen Yifei gradually faded into nothingness, and the oppressive sensation of "world-destroying" magnitude subsided accordingly. At the same time, the murderous aura emanating from the grave also flowed back into the bottom of the pit.
The vast pit once again fell into silence.
The confrontation between the two sides came suddenly and ended suddenly. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding ground had been scraped off, revealing the crimson color underneath, Chen Yifei might have thought that everything just now was only an illusion.
Chen Yifei's gaze fell once again on the desolate grave. Indeed, there were quite a few cracks on the surface of the earthy grave... It seemed that Bai Qi had not gained the upper hand in the previous confrontation.
Just as Chen Yifei was feeling regret, another line of blood seeped out from the ground:
"Help me revive, and I will fulfill your wish."
