Chapter 412: Chapter 212: God? A Human Skull as Huge as a Mountain! (Part 2)

Because right under that giant, towering collapsed Divine Temple, among the ruins and broken walls, along the horizon, huge swathes of pale bone-like objects were exposed, ultimately forming an enormous outline before everyone’s eyes, seemingly representing the skull of an incredibly large humanoid creature.

And that temple was built right on top of that enormous humanoid skull.

"What is this thing?!"

"Is it an ancient Heritage Race?"

For a moment, Zheng Yi could no longer express himself with words.

After all, in the Cultivation Realm where races abound, there are countless unbelievable beings, including naturally gigantic creatures such as the Vast Sea Dragon Whale, whose life form is so immense it’s beyond belief, definitely much larger than the skeleton of the creature in front of him.

If it were the skull of another race, it wouldn’t be enough to surprise Zheng Yi and the others. What shocked them the most was the pale skull they were now seeing, with two hollow eye sockets partially protruding from the ground, and a long, nasal cavity, distinctly resembling a human skull.

But what kind of human race could grow to such an enormous size?

It’s simply inconceivable.

So even Zheng Yi felt his Heart Spirit shaken and could only murmur to himself.

This gigantic humanoid skull stood like a small mountain, supporting a massive temple atop it.

One can only imagine how terrifying and gigantic the owner of this massive white skeleton was when alive.

Take the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, for instance, as a rare Heaven and Earth Exotic Species, this dreadful fierce creature, once mature, is practically akin to a Flood Dragon, with a length of several dozen meters. Its enormous size is a blessing of its race.

In the Cultivation Realm, creatures with strong bloodlines and powerful strength aren’t necessarily gigantic in size.

But usually, beastly creatures whose size defies reason tend to be exceedingly strong.

At least, that’s how Zheng Yi perceives it.

In comparison, the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede they’ve been hunting is considered quite gigantic among fierce beasts, but compared to the owner of the pale skull beneath the temple, it’s like a little brother.

If it were intact outside, imagining its complete body and limbs, revealing a full human skeleton, its height would be at least several thousand meters.

Completely resembling a colossal mountain spanning across lands.

This creature’s size has utterly surpassed Zheng Yi’s comprehension.

Moreover, despite the passing of time, the pale skull remains as pristine as new, showing little wear and tear, suggesting the skeleton’s hardness and extraordinary origin.

"What secret does this ghostly place hide?!"

Zheng Yi couldn’t help but feel a wave of doubt emerging in his heart.

They pursued the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede all the way here, who would have thought there’d be a Teleportation Array beneath the Black Water Pool, leading them to such an eerie place.

Everything is filled with unknown coincidences.

Suddenly, he felt a tinge of vigilance rise within him.

If something unusual happens, there’s bound to be trouble.

He couldn’t help but glance at Wei Xu wearing the Si Snake mask, suspecting whether this Array Master knew something?

And what is the true purpose of their group’s arrival; is it genuine or another hidden agenda?

All of this leaves him increasingly uneasy.

Zheng Yi, having a deep and thoughtful mind, possesses a skeptical attitude toward everything.

Now, witnessing unknown and terrifying giant skull beneath the temple, he couldn’t help but be deeply shocked.

"What kind of life form is this skull? Why does it resemble a human?"

"But humans can never grow so gigantic..."

"Could it be the bone remains of some ancient Alien Race? With a temple built here, there must have existed some civilization..."

Wei Xu, behind the Si Snake mask, obviously felt quite unfamiliar with the sight too, yet his tone was not very excited, instead carrying a trace of unexpected resignation.

After all, he assembled a large team to come here in order to obtain the Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede to cure his legitimate granddaughter.

But the sight before him represented the unforeseen.

An unexpected event indicated that the entire situation was out of his control.

As he looked around, he noticed glimmers in the eyes of Yin Tiger, Chou Ox, Mao Rabbit and others behind their masks.

That kind of glimmer represented a kind of emotion, known as ambition and excitement at the sight of a hunt.

Wei Xu couldn’t help but sigh as Purple Mansion Cultivators differ in identity, sharing merely a cooperative relationship with him, unable to command others straightforwardly.

Under normal circumstances, it’s alright, but encountering unusual situations like this is genuinely troublesome.

He now hopes for smooth progress, to quickly locate the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, obtain the Inner Core, and return safely outside the Black Water Pool to plan ahead.

Other things, although important, pale in comparison to the life of his legitimate granddaughter.

Array Master Wei Xu, being experienced, was right; at this moment, everyone harbors various thoughts lingering among them.

Clearly, someone wouldn’t build such a grand temple in a plain space without reason.

Moreover, the enormous humanoid skull further signifies the exceptional nature of this place.

In a cursed land, there must be treasures!

This is almost common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.

Suddenly, everyone’s thoughts shifted, as their eyes behind masks flickered with pondering glances.

When glancing at their ’companions’, they couldn’t help but reveal a hint of distrust, subtly distancing themselves from those ’companions’.

In a place potentially housing precious treasures, everyone’s heart pounded with varied intentions, notably carrying hidden motives among them.

Everyone here is but passing acquaintances, each possibly concealing their real identity; at this crucial time and place, if deceived by others, there wouldn’t even be a chance for revenge.

To reach the Purple Mansion, no cultivator is foolish; each is a seasoned individual.

Each other’s intentions are clear inside.

Although there aren’t any immediate conflicts leading to arguments, vigilance among them is deemed necessary.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned eerie.

"Everyone! Everyone!"

Amidst the oppressive silence, Array Master Wei Xu finally spoke.

He sighed, realizing his most worried scenario had indeed occurred.

However, as the organizer, to achieve the goal of this venture, he couldn’t do it alone, requiring collective strength; hence, he must step forward.

When Wei Xu suddenly spoke, he promptly garnered everyone’s attention as he looked at them and slowly stated.

"Everyone, the primary focus now is the pursuit of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, seizing its Inner Core. Everyone conducting business with me has made Celestial Dao Oaths."

"As for whether this place holds treasures, or its nature, I am ignorant, and we shall discuss it later."

"After all, this place seems odd, perhaps hiding unknown dangers. Although everyone is capable and brave, this place is weathered by time, so it’s certainly more than it appears, caution remains advisable..."

Evidently, Wei Xu sensed the eerie vibe flowing within the group, thus he spoke openly.

Indeed, as the only one in the group with a clear purpose to hunt the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede and seize the Inner Core to save his granddaughter, Wei Xu showed little interest in the emergence of this mysterious small world.

Instead, its appearance might stir internal conflict, obstructing his purpose of this journey.

He’s uninterested in this place’s origin or any existing treasures.

Currently, the only thing Wei Xu wishes for is to quickly obtain the Inner Core and swiftly leave.

As each has different thoughts but there are no immediate conflicts of interest at the moment, plus they indeed have made Celestial Dao Oaths, upon hearing Wei Xu’s request, they remained silent, merely nodding slightly.
