Chapter 1492 - Most Powerful Choice

Shi Hao’s thoughts were all over the place. Through his conversations with Shenming and Sanzang, the more he understood, the more he feared that ancient artifact on the sacrificial platform!

What exactly is this? Even Burial Kings had to maintain a respectful distance, this really was too freakish!

Even though it was divine, releasing nine-colored brilliance, illuminating the entire ancient palace, surging with immortal mist, primal chaos interweaving, it still made Shi Hao feel a wave of alarm.

He wasn’t like Shenming and Sanzang, longing for this type of thing, eyes full of fanaticism, instead feeling great apprehension, always feeling as if something wasn’t quite right.

Even those as powerful as Burial Kings weren’t willing to come! This chest really was too heaven-defying.

Shi Hao thought of many things, every thought making him shiver all over. He felt like he should leave as soon as possible, best if he left this thing alone!

It was to the extent where he had reason to suspect that regardless of whether it was Sanzang or Shenming, even if there were Burial Kings supporting them, their intentions might still not be pure.

They were chosen by the Burial Kings, granted secret treasures, told to come in here, but it was perhaps only for the sake of the Burial Kings’ desires to further their research of this ancient artifact, right?

Shi Hao felt more and more like this had a high chance of being the case!

After all, this thing was just too frightening, something not even the Burial Kings could control, something even they were worried about. They definitely couldn’t ignore it, nor could they completely abandon it.

Perhaps after all these years, they had always been trying to figure it out, researching it. Only, they didn’t directly come into contact with it, instead indirectly taking action through others.

There was previously a Burial King, who, because he couldn’t hold back any more, personally took action, wishing to open up this chest. In the end, an unimaginable unforeseen event happened.

According to what Shenming said, after that night, the Burial King in Heaven Valley seemed to have his soul leave him, becoming completely different from before. Just how terrifying of a thing was this?

Shi Hao didn’t know whether the two Burial Kings behind Shenming and Sanzang investigated what exactly happened to that existence in Heaven Valley, if they knew what kind of strange  change happened.

There was definitely a heaven shocking great secret!

In that moment of distraction, Shi Hao’s pupils became deep. This place was not normal, it was best if he left earlier. It was because even though this thing was enticing to undead knights, it didn’t hold much meaning for him.

“We cannot get any closer to it, and doing so will only injure us. I think it is best if we leave earlier. This ancient cave seems extremely unstable, perhaps something unexpected might happen.” Shi Hao suggested.

Of course, he needed to rely on the immortal medicine’s help in order to speak this burial language.

“What’s wrong, is brother Huang scared? Haha, this is a tremendous opportunity! Once you miss this moment, you will regret it for the rest of your life!” Sanzang said with a smile. His head of long hair fluttered about. It was soaked in blood, caused by his injury just now. His body even almost exploded.

“You have to understand that even when the ancient cave opens, this chest is something that rarely ever appears. It isn’t every time that it shows itself!” Shenming also said. Her beautiful face was a bit pale, also heavily injured not too long ago. However, her eyes were still burning with passion, clearly with no intentions of giving up.

“I fear that something unexpected might happen.” Shi Hao said.

“Brother Huang, I think you overthought things. Are you worried that you might end up like the Burial King from Heaven Valley, ultimately becoming a completely different person?” Shenming said with a smile, carrying a bit of mockery.

“Indeed, that matter is strange, we can’t help but take that into consideration.” Shi Hao nodded.

“We already said that that was something that only happens when the ancient artifact is seen a second time. Meanwhile, this is the first time we are seeing it, so nothing unforeseen will happen.” Sanzang said.

“From past until now, how many people were able to see this thing? Can you say for sure that those who survived all really had nothing unexpected happen to them?” Shi Hao asked.

“This…” Sanzang was stunned, a bit shocked.

“I am sure that at the very last, the king of our burial region, the first time she saw it, there was definitely nothing unexpected that happened!” Shenming spoke in an extremely resolute manner.

Shi Hao was stunned. She was actually this confident! However, what kind of status did the Burial King have? She was high up above, living for more than a single great era. Would she tell her these things?

“You have to understand that the Burial Kings might have already existed when the heavens were established, existing when the burial regions first took form, can you really understand her? Can you say for sure you know what exactly happened before?” Shi Hao didn’t say it too directly, but he believed these two were intelligent people.

“You are saying that we do not know the severity of the situation, that we are taking too much risk?” Shenming asked.

“Don’t tell me that you think we are only chess pieces sent here by the Burial Kings to explore this place? Just like the seniors who came here and died since the endless past?” Sanzang said.

Shenming’s expression also became complicated. She looked at Shi Hao.

The two of them were both incredibly smart, they knew what Shi Hao was hinting at.

Meanwhile, from this, it also proved that they had long considered this issue, thinking about it even before Shi Hao brought it up. They naturally already developed many thoughts and opinions.

“However, this is worth taking a risk for. If we succeed, we will become Burial Kings!” Shenming said. This was what they truly felt.

“Even if anything unexpected happens, it is still worth it!” Sanzang said. He became even more crazy, saying, “If this body of mine becomes a king, my name will be passed on for endless time!”

From his words, one could tell that even if a disaster arrived, something strange happening to him, he still wouldn’t regret it. Even if in the end, only the flesh could be said to be his, it was still enough.

Shi Hao was stupefied. These two really were mad. For the sake of becoming Burial Kings, they weren’t even scared of having their true selves erased?

“Undead knights focus on the body. As long as our body exists, with those types of earth in existence, the day will come when we can still return!” Shenming said.

“Correct, if one great era isn’t enough, then we’ll wait two great eras, if that isn’t enough, we’ll sleep for a few more great eras!” Sanzang’s eyes burned like flames, extremely fervent, his head of long golden hair like suns.

At this moment, Shi Hao opened his mouth, but what could he still say? He was greatly shaken.

He recalled the All Life Earth. This thing was a rare precious earth in burial region after all. Was it prepared precisely for this type of situation?

He was already aware that immortal dao existences were fond of All Life Earth, that if they died, if they were buried within, legend had it that after endless time passed, that person might be revived.

“Brother Huang, do you have anything else you wish to tell us?” Shenming said with a smile.

Shi Hao shook his head. He walked to the side, not wishing to join them.

At this moment, he stared at the mysterious chest, and also looked at the ancient palace. Then, he stared into the void, as if he wanted to see through something.

During the struggle between the three thousand provinces’ geniuses, they all entered Immortal Ancient Remains. They previously saw the Guidance ancient temple. What kind of connection did it share with this place?

After all, not long ago, this place also split apart. Shi Hao vaguely saw black prisons.

Apart from this, in the depths of Burial Land, there was that Burial King who underwent a strange change, as if it became someone completely different. Did it have something to do with the black prisons?

When he thought over these situations, Shi Hao felt a cold chill rise along his back. There were some things that made his blood run cold. If one thought deeply about it, it really was terrifying.

It was because this type of thing didn’t involve only a single era, a single creature, but rather from the past until now. It was unknown just how much endless time had passed.

It was as if there was a hand, a pair of eyes in the darkness pushing everything along, watching everything.

“Let’s join hands!”

Sanzang and Shenming set their resolution, pressing forward together. They carried the conviction to meet their ends attacking with full force!

“Wait, let me back out!” Shi Hao shouted. It wasn’t because he lacked courage, but because he felt like it really wasn’t worth taking the risk with them.

This was something that belonged to undead knights. Moreover, in his opinion, it was extremely inauspicious, thinking that a big issue would arise. He didn’t want to be caught up in this.

“Brother Huang, could it be that you didn’t know that once this ancient cave is entered, if we don’t succeed, we will die? There is no way of leaving halfway.” Sanzang said.

Shi Hao was shocked. He really wasn’t aware of this situation. Perhaps it was something that not even many undead knights didn’t know about.

Shenming and Sanzang walked forward. In the end, they gave him a look, actually carrying a smile, extremely strange given the circumstances. They could actually still smile!

Could it be that these two discovered a hole in his behavior? Shi Hao stood there, not saying anything, silently considering whether he should confront it. Was there really no way of getting out?

Hong!

Sanzang moved, producing a magical imprint. He faced the chest on the platform, allowing the Burial King magical decree to burn. It turned into a sheet of unmatched scripture, surrounding the origin ancient artifact. Shenming released a roar, streak after streak of patterns appeared on her beautiful face, the imprints left on her body by Burial Kings. They all appeared, and then flew towards that chest.

“Not good!”

Shi Hao’s expression changed. He felt a wave of dangerous aura. That chest was moved.

Ah...

Shenming screamed, suffering tremendous pain. Her head of fiery red long hair danced about randomly, her entire body covered in cracks, about to break apart.

It was because that chest shone too brilliantly, as if it could make everything disintegrate.

Sanzang also released a muffled groan, his body shaking. His four limbs were already broken, blood dripping everywhere. However, it was strange, his body didn’t fall, still floating there.

Many patterns appeared on the chest, flowing with life-like orbits, as if endless creatures were recounting the past, speaking, their voices noisy.

“What is that?” Shi Hao was shocked.

That chest behaved abnormally, there was something coming out!

It wasn’t only targeting Sanzang and Shenming, there was something that rushed at Shi Hao as well, focusing on him!
