336 Confrontation of the Demonic Beasts (1)

Over the grass, fog filled the air. It was hazy ahead, as if something was hidden away. A desolate aura swept by.

Jiang Ming gathered his thoughts and stopped digging. Anyway, he had already dug up a lot of seeds, which should be enough for him.

“If the route you are taking is correct, no matter what is in front of you, it should be the thing protected by the dozen or so peerless demonic beasts from earlier. However, other than some ancient cultivation runes, I don’t sense any special aura,” the black sword said solemnly.

Even it was unable to clearly sense what was in the depths of this land of pure spiritual energy.

Jiang Ming’s eyes were also solemn as he slowly walked forward. A blurry black shadow gradually appeared in front of him.

When the last layer of fog dispersed, Jiang Ming finally saw that in the deepest part of the grassland was a stone platform. It was about ten feet tall and covered in black ash.

On the side of the stone platform was a stone staircase, leading to the highest point of the stone platform.

However, Jiang Ming was surprised and a little disappointed. He did not expect it to be such an ordinary stone platform.

There were no runes carved on the stone platform. In fact, it looked rather sloppily produced as well.

There were only some remnants of ancient cultivation runes on the stone platform. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.

“Since we’re already here, let’s go up and take a look.”

Jiang Ming sighed and slowly walked up the stone steps.

“Perhaps there was indeed some treasure on this stone platform back then. However, after countless years, it has long ceased to exist,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself. There was nothing eternal in the world. Everything had to return to dust sooner or later.

However, the black sword said in surprise, “This seems to be an altar! Moreover, this altar might have already refined billions of living beings.”

“An altar?” Jiang Ming was shocked. Why didn’t he notice anything unusual?

Moreover, didn’t the altar symbolize sacrifice? How did it become something used to refine living beings?

Moreover, how had it refined billions of living beings? Jiang Ming felt uncomfortable. He did not want to stay here anymore.

“The essence within this stone platform is hidden and dormant. I was almost fooled.” The black sword’s voice was a little solemn. “When I reached this altar, I could vaguely touch its origin. It was as if I saw a terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. All of them prostrated themselves under this altar. The sky seemed to have turned dark red, and one couldn’t see the end at a glance. Billions of living beings seem to have been destroyed and burned and refined by this altar.”

The black sword seemed to be mumbling as it described the terrifying scene it saw when it fused with the stone platform’s origin.

Jiang Ming’s eyelids twitched when he heard that. Why was it trying to scare him?

“I remember now.” Suddenly, the black sword’s voice turned cold. “I seem to have heard someone say that there was an altar that witnessed the birth and death of an era. It appeared with the birth of an era, accepted the worship of all souls, and passed down the path of cultivation. During the most prosperous period of the new era, it appeared again. It was considered an omen and caused the blessed land to endlessly attack everyone. That was the beginning of the ‘bad’ stage of the new era. At the end of the era, it appeared in the sky. It was like a god watching over the mortals. Billions of living beings had died, and it absorbed the blood, bones, and essence of those living beings to refine them.”

Jiang Ming stood not far away and stared at it with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

 

The words it said were incredibly shocking. This stone platform seemed to have a terrifying background. It seemed to be even more terrifying than a Saint.

However, now that something seemed to have happened to the stone platform, it lay dormant here without any movement. Jiang Ming did not care about anything else. He just wanted to know if it could kill him.

However, Jiang Ming was a little surprised by the black sword’s current state. The black sword was normally a bloodthirsty lunatic. However, now it was very subdued and somber.

Jiang Ming remembered the time he had seen the black sword in the hands of the old man on the starlit path.

“Is the black sword going to completely recover?” Jiang Ming muttered in his heart. He had never underestimated the black sword. The old man on the starlit path back then was very likely a top-notch Saint.
