Perfect World

- Dam Realm

While walking along the dike, along the way, they saw four ancient corpses in a row. They had long died for many years, unknown what era these creatures were from.

They shared one common trait, which was that they were all ridiculously powerful, terrifying beyond compare. The corpses were all dried up, but there was ruined blood left over. Just by closing in a bit, it would be enough to make one’s body want to burst.

“What kind of existence is the fourth corpse, what race does it belong to? I’ve never seen it before.” Shi Hao watched from afar.

He had never seen it before in the Nine Heavens, never seen such a species in the foreign side either.

This creature, even though it had died endless generations ago, it was still so extraordinary. When it was alive, it was definitely a generation oppressing expert. Even if its body was dried up, its figure still released a great pressure, a world-shaking wave of aura released!

Of course, the main thing was still the blood left on the ground, its power heaven overflowing!

Around the shining blood, the void split apart, space collapsed, this great world simply about to collapse.

One could imagine how terrifying it would be if it was still alive.

It had a human head, but its face was extremely flat, having a third vertical eye on its forehead that carried golden brilliance. Its body was shriveled, but it released terrifying energy.

Human shaped body, but it was densely covered in silver scales, behind it a lion tail that hung on the other side of the dam.

“Never seen it before, but… it seems similar to the ancient period’s extinct Three Eyed Divine Clan. They still have some descendants, but their appearances and abilities, when compared to this ancestral bloodline are too different.” Sanzang said.

According to what he said, this clan dared to challenge true immortals, ridiculously powerful. When the third eye opened, heaven and earth would lose color, ancient realms would collapse.

However, their clan were eradicated, the true ancestral bloodline now long gone. Only some descendants married with other clans, producing a few clans whose outer appearances were greatly changed.

Now, the species with a vertical eye, about fifty percent of them were descendants of this clan.

“It is extremely strong!”

The three of them backed up. They couldn’t get close to this creature. Even if it died, the damaged blood could still move stellar streams, kill any creature that approached.

“A fifth one!”

Shi Hao sucked in a cold breath of air. When they followed the dam, they saw a fifth creature. It was human formed, about the same as the modern age humans, only its skin was like gold, carrying radiance.

“Golden bones and skin, Vajra Unbreaking Body isn’t enough to describe him. When he was alive, a bit of anger was enough to make ancient realms collapse, stellar rivers fall. This is an extremely terrifying ancient monster!” Shenming said.

She was backing up, but even though she took half a step back, she was already suppressed by the power released by the blood in front of that creature, body producing bloody traces, almost split up and in pieces.

Shi Hao and the others discovered that as long as they were a set distance from the dike, they wouldn’t be affected, as if there was a formless wall before them that could cut off all remaining magical force fluctuations that creature left behind.

They discovered five bodies in total, every single one of them incomparably terrifying. Just looking at them would make them feel a strong urge to bow down and worship them.

Even though they died, moreover, all fallen on the dam, they still possessed tremendous auras, power that could oppress the heavens, absolutely incomparable.

This type of powerful creature, how did it die?

Shi Hao was sure that the creatures with immortal blood flowing through them could already be considered long life beings. However, how could they still die? Was this because they suffered a serious injury on the other side of the dam?

The five of them shared one common trait. Their bodies were dried up and withered, only the blood that splashed out from them before they died carried some vitality, now still releasing divine might.

They themselves had completely died, even essence energy scattered. Why were there a few drops of blood that were instead preserved?

“What kind of injuries caused this? Why is it that only the blood that splashed out before their deaths remains everlasting?”

“Or perhaps it is to say that the essence within their bodies was swallowed by something?”

They were speculating, really not understanding why even such powerful existences would die here.

Were they still going to proceed? They were hesitant. One had to understand that those five creatures crawled over from the other side of the dam, returning after being seriously injured, and then died.

If the three of them crossed over, wouldn’t this be the same as throwing their lives away?

Willow Deity went over just like that, was there no warning? Shi Hao thought.

“Let’s find a part of the dam without any corpses and then take a look at what exactly is on the other side!” Shenming said.

If they didn’t even take a look, then it really was hard to just give up on this place like this. These creatures with immortal blood flowing through them followed the ancient path, entering that place, yet in the end returned with heavy injuries, dying on the dam, this was just too mysterious.

Finally, they found a suitable location that didn’t have any creatures or bloody traces. It was extremely cold, the dam still like before, many places ruined.

“It really is impossible to guess just how many years it had existed for!” Sanzang suspected that this dam existed for an incredibly ancient amount of time, heaven knew what era it was created in.

For even a Golden Undead Knight to sigh like this, one could see just how ancient it was.

Undead knights easily slept for endless time!

They finally got on the dam, seeing the scene on the other side.

It was extremely profound and unfathomable, dark. The mist ahead was incredibly heavy. When one gazed down from above, they had no idea what was there.

It was extremely dusky, black mist swirling about, rising.

What kind of place was this? They still didn’t understand.

When they used all of their great divine abilities, doing their best to sense it, they saw something!

It was faintly discernible, as if there was the sound of tides rising and falling, transmitting indistinctly. It was extremely far away, a large distance in between, as if they were separated by endless time, arriving from another period.

“It is like a sea, extremely far from this place. There are waves rising and falling?” Shenming said, feeling that this was absurd. Was this the great terror behind the dam?!

This shouldn’t be it, there are definitely other dangers!

Only, they couldn’t see it.

Sanzang produced a wooden crane. It was the size of a thumb, extremely small and smooth, as if carved from jade. This was a magical artifact that could store magical force, erupt with great fighting power. Within a short time, it could exert strength equivalent to Sanzang’s, a rare secret treasure.

However, when the wooden crane spread its wings, entered the darkness behind the dam, it immediately exploded, destroyed on the spot.

Sanzang’s expression suddenly changed. This was a magical artifact he treasured greatly, moreover, when magical force and a bit of divine will were infused, this secret artifact wasn’t any weaker than himself, yet it shattered so quickly just like that.

“This means that if we go, we will die instantly!”

They withdrew, starting to search about in the surroundings.

The region on this side of the dam was also extremely vast. After walking far enough along the dam, they discovered another altar.

This altar was just too large, piled up from star remains, towering into the sky dome!

Even though the star remains were refined, no longer that large, they were still piled up, so it was still ridiculously large.

Moreover, next to the altar by the dam was another stele.

“There are words on it!”

There were characters, still written in the most ancient immortal text.

“Those who are not at the top of their generation, do not try to cross!” Sanzang spoke its approximate meaning.

This was warning those who came later to not try to cross the dam, that they couldn’t rashly advance.

This piece of information was extremely shocking. Even if those who dominated their generations wanted to go over there, they could still only try? The cultivation levels of those who came were too astonishing, too terrifying!

“There are footprints!”

Shenming said, her eyes sharp.

Previously, the extremely faint footsteps disappeared after they left the desert. They never expected to see them again on the altar, moreover many of them.

Who was the one that left these footprints on the altar?

“The altar is incomplete!” Sanzang said.

It was extremely regretful. Anyone could see that the altar only had half of it built, unknown why it wasn’t continued.

It was such a grand altar, where did it lead to?

That person was the first one to come, searching about here alone. What was it searching for? Was this a way out, or was it something else?

Did that person want to directly cross the region behind the dam?

Those who came after all entered while following its footsteps.

Unfortunately, the altar was never finished.

“This way!”

Not long afterwards, Shi Hao found footprints again. They were extremely light, walking over from the dam that wasn’t too far out, entering the mist-shrouded darkness.

Then, the footsteps disappeared without a trace!

From past until now, did all of these experts chase after this set of footprints?

Did Willow Deity also chase up to here before disappearing?

Only that existence could leave behind its footprints!

“Willow Deity, do you have any guidance for me?” Shi Hao had no other way. He spoke to that sparkling green willow branch, asking like this.

Originally, he didn’t have much hope, but now, it suddenly shone, pointing out a direction.

“Yi, let’s go!”

The three of them had serious expressions on their faces, continuing on their way.

It wasn’t that far away, but just several hundred zhang out, there were stone and earth again.

On the ground was a simple drawing.

It was unknown just what era it was left behind from. It was like graffiti, painted on the earth.

“Transport formation?”

Drawn on the ground was a transport formation, only, it was too simple.

Judging from its appearance, the lines and other parts were definitely old, traces left behind from ancient times.

This left them speechless!

“There are a few footprints here as well, the transport formation might have been left behind by that person as well!” Shenming said.

This place was strange and terrifying as well, no one able to leave traces here. Apart from that person, there were no other footprints.

Weng!

Suddenly, a green leaf fluttered out from the stone cracks, rising, releasing brilliance.

“Those who are not at the top of their generation, return through the ancient formation, do not try to search.” There was a line of characters on the leaf, warning them.

This was the leaf of Willow Deity, left behind by it. This was clearly left for Shi Hao, warning him here!

“Willow Deity, did you recover your cultivation, fully regain everything?” Shi Hao muttered.

Willow Deity had previously been completely destroyed, moreover not just once, repeatedly undergoing rebirth. Now, did it truly recover?

“Sigh!” Shenming released a sigh. In the end, she still didn’t know what was behind the dam, where it leads to, filling her with regret.

This graffiti-like ancient diagram drew out a strange diagram on the earth. This was a transport formation, could it bring them back?

“Let me cross tribulation, seize a lightning pool before we leave!” Shi Hao said, wishing to capture a lightning pool!
