Chapter 809: Chapter 512: Ancient Divine Beast Appears! (Double Chapter)

The Sun Devouring Beast quickly flipped over again. It seemed uninterested in everything here, letting out a low growl before leaping over Song Changming, its claws digging into the mountainside as it frantically climbed upward, as if it still wanted to gnaw on the Immortal Tree’s roots.

Song Changming temporarily set aside the extremely rare Sun Devouring Beast and continued to survey the underground space.

"Death aura, ghost flames, a hint of decaying corpses..."

He combined the information he had captured and began making deductions and assumptions in his mind.

"Could this be some ancient cemetery from a distant era?"

It’s not impossible.

Song Changming approached the tilted black monolith. He wasn’t the only one paying attention to this Black Stele.

At this moment, many people had already gathered beside the Black Stele, including Hua Sichen.

"Forgive my shallow knowledge, I can’t recognize the origin or meaning of these ancient words," an Elder Grandmaster said apologetically after examining it repeatedly.

Hua Sichen remained silent, his expression showing that he, too, couldn’t comprehend the lines of ancient characters inscribed on the Black Stele.

The Black Stele was only as tall as a person, yet the tiny ancient characters almost entirely covered its surface, densely packed.

Song Changming also took a serious look at it and confirmed that it was an ancient language he had never encountered.

"It shouldn’t be, is it not the language of ancient Human Race?" Song Changming murmured, seeing that none of the Martial Arts Grandmasters present could answer.

Just then, a deep and slightly strange sound was heard.

"This is the language of the Ancient Qilin Race from Lei Province!"

The crowd turned towards the voice and saw a figure covered in a layer of unmelting frost.

"Undead corpse?" They instantly recognized the speaker as a living-dead Undead corpse.

"Ancient Qilin? The language of the ancient Demon Race?" Situ Ming looked astonished.

He had certainly heard of the Ancient Qilin; many old books and secret texts from the Human Race recorded them as a powerful Demon Race on par with the Celestial Phoenix and True Dragon.

Even the Black Sun Devouring Beast was said to be so powerful because it carried the bloodline of the Ancient Qilin!

"Really?" Hua Sichen calmly confirmed.

"What does it say?"

The Undead corpse was silent for a moment, its black pupils rotating continuously within the eye sockets shadowed like smoky makeup.

Its gaze remained on the monolith, as if further scrutinizing it.

Finally, it spoke again: "A list of names from the Ancient Qilin Race; this is a Qilin Race tombstone!"

"Tombstone?!" The crowd was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

Even the well-informed ones, including Hua Sichen, never expected the Black Stele to be not just a relic of the Ancient Qilin Race but also a grand tombstone of the race.

"So..." Song Changming took a deep breath and said, "So, this is a grand cemetery?!"

He said this because he saw under the ghost flames, where sand scattered, revealed rows of similar monoliths.

Compared to the ancient Qilin’s Black Stele, the rest of these monoliths were neatly arranged and placed here.

The dense death aura permeating this place likely originated from these tomb markers.

They had arrived in an ancient grand cemetery!

What shocked him most was the sheer number of monoliths; looking around, there seemed to be thousands, even tens of thousands, stretching as far as the eye could see!

"Ancient Vermilion Divine Sparrow Race, Ancient Sea-covering Whale Race, Ancient Kunpeng Race, Ancient Celestial Phoenix Race..."

The Frost corpse undead continued to casually pick a few Black Steles, deciphering and translating the ancient characters on them one by one.

The crowd, including a group of Great Demons, listened with bewildered fear growing in their hearts.

These were nearly all dominant powerful beings of ancient times—Divine Beasts, legends!

Yet in modern times, they had disappeared into the river of history, extinct for countless years.

And here, they saw the tombstones of these legendary ancient races.

For a moment, they didn’t know what this meant or represented.

Just a simple thought, if every Black Stele represented the demise of an ancient being, the sheer number of Black Steles here was enough to induce a creeping dread.

Moreover, who exactly had created this grand cemetery?

Had these Black Steles always remained in the Celestial Ruins Realm throughout the endless years?

And what connection did all this have with the Immortal Tree above?

Too many secrets, unknown, yet irresistible to the mind.

"Could it be that this place contains the remains of all ancient races?" Situ Ming suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell into more contemplation.

The remains of ordinary races were insignificant, but those of races like the Celestial Phoenix, Vermilion Divine Sparrow, and Ancient Kunpeng still held boundless value even after countless years.

As Song Changming knew, that Hawk Demon gained a Celestial Phoenix Feather, immediately becoming a prominent figure in the Demon Realm, soaring to new heights.

Hua Sichen shook his head and said, "As far as I know, ancient Demons’ bodies were enormous, especially the Sea-covering Whale and the Ancient Kunpeng, reaching lengths of thousands or even tens of thousands of feet. This place couldn’t possibly accommodate their remains..."

His words resonated with others; even if this underground space were vast, it was hard to believe it could house such massive ancient remains.

More likely, only these tombstones were left.

The Frost corpse undead’s gaze then shifted to other Black Steles.

"There are Human Race..."

Upon hearing this, all the Martial Arts Grandmasters looked over.
