Chapter 406: God's Burial Place, Takamagahara
The deep sea at a depth of about 7900 meters should have been pitch black, but when Chu Xin arrived, the warm red light illuminated the scene.
This place is filled with unexpected vitality. The sea water is like a slowly flowing sunset, and endless schools of fish swim freely in the sunset, as if soaring in the dusk sky.
These deep-sea fish are just like those in the movies, with all kinds of strange appearances and emitting dreamy colorful fluorescence.
However, Chu Xin discovered something different. Even though they were all deep-sea fish, they should not be so different from the biology of the Earth. For example, the manta ray had a black and white exoskeleton on its head, the octopus had tentacles covered with scales, the sea turtle had a red basalt-like fleshy shell on its back, and the hundred-meter-long whale was covered with cloud patterns... There was no doubt that they had all been stimulated by dragon blood to mutate to a greater or lesser extent, and had multiplied from generation to generation into their current form, becoming a subspecies of dragon.
According to science, there should not be large marine life in such a deep sea, but the facts are before us, and we can infer that something has reconstructed the ecological environment here.
Looking down, on the left side of the Neon Trench is a flat and wide seabed, on the right side is a rugged and steep cliff, and in the middle is a huge crack running from north to south, which is thousands of miles long.
The crust cracked to reveal the mantle layer, which reached a depth of 8500 meters. In addition to the dark red magma gushing out continuously, there was also dull thunder caused by the vaporization of sea water, but it was not the whispering heartbeat of the devil.
The magma gathered into a long burning red river, filling the cracks in the trench, but it was clearly distinguished from the ubiquitous black sea water, like a divine weapon eternally tempered in the endless deep sea.
Trillions of tons of magma are stored beneath the rock layers. It is precisely because of the existence of this trench that Neon has become the area with the most active and frequent earthquakes.
Wow!
As Chu Xin and his party arrived above the lava river in a mighty procession, schools of fish from all directions, ferocious hammerhead sharks and giant squids, and Basilosaurus whales that were larger than Samson and Luoshen combined all fled in all directions, as if the beasts had sensed the approach of a tiger, and the fear deep in their blood drove them to leave instinctively.
Because a king who was hotter and more violent than magma led his army down from the sky, the rolling dragon power cleared out all noises, and the only sounds left in the empty world were the splashing of lava and the evaporation and explosion of water vapor.
rustling!
In the cracks of the rock formations far away, thousands of fireflies rose up and flew away as if frightened, clustering together like a faint blue halo.
Chu Xin's pupils contracted like a camera, adjusting the focus of his eyes, and the fireflies quickly enlarged in his eyes.
They were not insects at all, but small fish as slender as snakes, with very small tail and pectoral fins, covered with dazzling silver scales, and glowing tentacles hanging from their heads.
The most eye-catching thing is their open mouths and protruding sharp teeth.
"Ghost-toothed viper." Chu Xin read out its name.
During the Dragon Dynasty, dragons used this piranha-like creature as one of their cruelest torture instruments.
The dragon nobles who committed crimes were tied to bronze pillars and sunk to the bottom of the sea. The Judge released dense swarms of ghost-toothed vipers to gnaw on the bodies of the sinners day and night until both the sinners and the bronze pillars were eaten up.
These snake fish have sharp teeth that can easily bite through metals and ores!
After an unknown amount of time, the situation finally changed.
After crossing a tall underwater ridge, a huge black tower stands on a gently sloping slope. The fiery red lava tides rise and fall at its feet. It is quiet and solemn, like an unknown god.
As Chu Xin and his party continued to move forward, a majestic and ancient city appeared before them like a slowly unfolding scroll.
The houses and buildings radiated outwards with the giant tower as the center, but half of them slid into the long river of magma, and the other half was left with only collapsed ruins.
Even though it is now in ruins, it is still not difficult to see its grandeur, as if countless giants holding axes had chopped and built it on intact rocks, and then poured all the gorgeous metals in the world to decorate and beautify it.
This scale is definitely not an ordinary product.
Kingdom of God!
Or is it the Demonic Kingdom?
"God's burial place, Takama-ga-hara." Chu Xin murmured, making sure he had found the right place.
In Neon mythology, Takamagahara is where the gods live, and this place is a cage used to seal ancient kings!
The White King rebelled and was punished and killed by the Black Emperor, but as the white monarch who was under one dragon and above all dragons, the White King left a backup plan for resurrection, which was the holy remains that were part of his body. The biological genes and memories contained in it could allow the White King to return to the world after countless years.
The so-called holy remains are actually equivalent to the flesh and blood tissues hidden by Chu Xin in various places. This method is considered a basic operation of the dragon clan and is not surprising.
The Holy Remains of the White King are buried and imprisoned in the rocks of the seabed at the bottom of Takamagahara!
However, the huge heartbeat did not come from the holy bones, but from another king.
Chu Xin signaled Luo Shen and other men to wait on top of the giant tower, while he continued to move forward on Samson. Behind a door that looked like a neon torii, he saw a strange building that was out of place with Takama-ga-hara. At first glance, it looked like a tall mountain ridge.
Although it is very tall, it is not as beautiful as the surrounding buildings, mainly because of its irregular and strange shape. There are countless snail-like shell creatures clinging to its surface, completely covering every inch of space. It wriggles and shakes when the water waves flow, like millions of maggots moving in and out of the corpse of an elephant.
Chu Xin held his breath and concentrated.
thump~
thump~
Sure enough, the sound of a heartbeat was heard from inside that building.
Boom——
As if sensing the ill intentions of the uninvited guest, the entire Takama-ga-hara suddenly shook.
The sea water was turbulent, and the water continued to rise, carrying with it gravel and snails.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, the sounds of thousands of heartbeats fell into the ears of Chu Xin and the others. Samson's eyes became vicious. He looked around vigilantly, and finally stared at the giant building.
Samson didn't like this place very much. The inexplicable pressure dissolved into the sea water, squeezing his spirit from all directions.
But as long as the figure above his head remained motionless, Samson was not at all panicked.
The heartbeat became more and more intense, and the speed and strength of the tremors in Takama-ga-hara also increased rapidly. The snails on the surface of the huge building began to fall off layer by layer, gradually revealing their true appearance.
"The icebreaker with the first generation of inactivated embryos," Chu Xin stretched out his hand and touched it from a distance of a thousand meters, "very rich in water elements, one of the kings of the ocean and water."
The giant building was indeed not an original structure in Takamagahara, but a super icebreaker that crashed headfirst into the ground there. Its total length exceeded 100 meters, with more than 80 meters of it still exposed.
When the numerous snails wrapped around the icebreaker fell off, the bloody color was revealed.
All I saw was the icebreaker's frame, densely covered with tendons and fascia that were still vibrating. These flesh and blood tissues spread and grew relying on the hull, merging with the steel and metal. The lung snails stretched out their mouthparts and greedily bit the flesh and blood, absorbing its nutrients for reproduction and mating. Even the wounds and gaps inside the hull were filled with parasitic snail creatures.
At the point where the icebreaker was inserted into the seabed, thick blood vessels penetrated into the cracks of the seabed, and a steady stream of dragon blood flowed out from the embryos inside the ship, nourishing Takama-ga-hara.
To be more precise, it is the Holy Remains of the White King sealed in Takamagahara.
In the icebreaker is one of the four kings, the king of ocean and water.
It was deprived of its brain while still in its embryonic state, leaving only a first-generation dragon body. However, due to its powerful bloodline, it did not die completely. Its soulless body would continue to grow, constantly transfusing blood and providing nutrition to Takamagahara. Marine creatures including the lung snail rewrote their genes after drinking its blood and evolved into a subspecies of dragons.
Therefore, the once noble and great king became a placenta and a sacrifice.
Chu Xin could tell at a glance that the icebreaker and the embryo had been subjected to extremely evil alchemy in order to achieve the scene he was seeing at the moment.
From this we can know that someone wants to awaken the Holy Remains of the White King!
As for who sank the icebreaker here, giving a king who could have been reborn as a pitiful sacrifice to the White King, there is a bigger and deeper conspiracy behind this matter, and the mastermind behind it is involved in the darkest secrets of the world.
Rumble~Rumble~
The lava river rose up into a fire wave more than ten meters high, which slowly broke apart in the confinement of the sea water.
The earthquake continued, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground of Takama-ga-hara. Countless heartbeats could be heard from the dark gaps, as if an evil spirit was about to break through the gates of hell.
The embryo was instinctively frightened by Chu Xin's arrival, so it showed a strong resistance reaction, which led to a chain reaction that caused Takama-ga-hara to be on the verge of collapse.
"You stay here."
Chu Xin turned a blind eye and jumped off Samson's head.
With a thought, the sea water was suddenly squeezed to the surroundings, and in an instant a waterless space was burned out. He turned into a complete form of 120 meters long.
boom--
The moment the King of Bronze and Fire revealed his true form, Takama-ga-hara erupted like a volcano.
The cracks in the street tore and widened, and thick scarlet mist gushed out. Then, monsters with human bodies and snake tails crawled out through the cracks.
They growled and tore apart the sticky afterbirth that wrapped their bodies. Their skin had a metallic luster. Their height ranged from two to five meters. Their slowly opening golden eyes were filled with murderous resentment. But when they all looked up and saw Chu Xin, an extremely human look of fear appeared on their faces. They fled in all directions without saying a word, and had no intention of fighting Chu Xin at all.
These creatures are snake-like corpses that guard Takamagahara, and are sealed beneath the city along with the White King's Sacred Remains.
Chu Xin ignored them and flew straight to the end of the icebreaker.
He dug his claws into the embryo's warm flesh and blood, then flapped his wings and dragged it out.
Buzz~~~!
All the blood vessels sunk into the ground of Takamagahara were broken, and with brute force, he pulled the icebreaker out of the seabed bit by bit.
dong dong dong~
The embryo's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, perhaps because Chu Xin's hot embrace made it feel uneasy.
Chu Xin flew up with the icebreaker in his arms and dropped it in an open, flat and safe area to prevent the embryo from being damaged by the subsequent impact.
You know, this is one of his two main goals for coming to Neon.
……
More and more snake-tailed corpse guards hissed out from under Takama-ga-hara. Without exception, facing the overwhelming pressure from the three pure-blooded dragons, they had no thought of resisting at all. The killing desire in their minds was suppressed by instinctive fear.
In other words, they were all loyal to the White King's Holy Corpse as they did not rebel on the spot.
Chu Xin didn't care about the departure of the snake-shaped corpse guards, nor did he order Samson and the others to stop them. He allowed them to escape from the Neon Trench and hide in other sea areas.
As the icebreaker was separated, the shaking in Takamagahara gradually eased.
"Simulation·Earth-type Word Spirit·The Wrath of Geb."
He chanted the obscure and ancient dragon text softly. What he dispatched was not the fire element, but the power of the word spirit of the king of the earth and the mountain. He could release special shock waves to resonate with objects in a certain specified range and cause vibrations.
Rumble~
His right claw vibrated out dark ring-shaped ripples, and as he swung a straight punch through the air, the ripples quickly penetrated the air and hit the foot of the giant tower in Takama-ga-hara.
thump—
A few seconds later, Takama-ga-hara collapsed suddenly, and the buildings on the slope slid towards the lava river like a mudslide. The giant tower also fell down, splashing sparks.
Takama-ga-hara began to break apart, and the dense cracks expanded in the blink of an eye, revealing the deeper seabed rock layers.
Whoohoo!
Suddenly, the sea water gushed out like a flock of sheep being chased by a lion.
Roar--
The next second, a huge monster crashed from bottom to top, smashing the sacrificial square of Takama-ga-hara, and the might of a dragon emanated.
This is a second generation species.
Its length from head to tail is more than thirty meters, as long as Samson, but its shoulders are even wider.
A pair of wings, which were only skeletons left, were folded on the back, and it moved flexibly and quickly in the water like a water snake.
There was no breath of life on its body. Like Luoshen, it was filled with the fluctuations of alchemy. From head to tail, it was skin and bones. Even the abdomen and other parts were only bones. The abdominal cavity was empty, with pieces of rotten flesh hanging down.
It also wore clanging armor, each piece of which was connected by metal chains, making it look like an undead dragon in an underground maze.
Takama-ga-hara's strongest guard, the king of corpse guards!
Golden eyes, ignite.
Then, it expanded its ribs on both sides, and a pair of golden eyes lit up within its dark body.
Wow~
Hundreds of snake-tailed corpse guards and ghost-toothed vipers came out one after another. They were the personal guards of the Corpse Guard King and they were absolutely loyal and obedient.
Led by the Corpse Guard King, they swarmed towards Samson. Upon hearing something strange, Luo Shen immediately led the Beast Guard Army and the Corpse Guard Army to meet the enemy.
Fierce fighting broke out.
Samson took the initiative to confront the Corpse Guardian King, while Luo Shen was entangled by a group of terrifying Ghost-toothed Vipers. The soldiers of both sides also started fighting in the water.
Chu Xin did not intervene, he released [Word Spirit·Blood Ties].
"found it."
Soon, an extremely dazzling silk thread connected the deep part of the Takama-ga-hara rock layer, and judging from the fluctuations, the distance between them was rapidly increasing.
The White King's Holy Remains wants to escape!
Chu Xin didn't care about anything else and dived into the huge crack in Takama-ga-hara without hesitation.
As soon as he came in, he realized that his huge body was actually a hindrance, and he could hardly move in the cracks between the complex and varying sizes of rock formations.
Then he changed into a simulated human form with a bronze mask on his face, kicked off with his feet, and shot into a slightly narrow rock passage like a bullet.
