Chapter 810: Chapter 512: Ancient Divine Beasts Emerge! (Two-in-One)_2

"Feng Province Cang Family, Cang Jitian, Cang Xiaomin, Cang..."

"Yan Province Tai Family, Tai Yue Shang, Tai Dong..."

"Miao Province Qin Family..."

"Feng Province Bei Family..."

"Yun Province Hua Family, Hua Hao, Hua Mifeng..."

One by one, the names of the Human Race surnames, spoken from the mouth of that frost corpse undead.

When it reached the Yun Province Hua Family, Song Changming couldn’t help but glance at Hua Sichen and Huaqing Pool.

The expressions of the two also changed, especially Hua Sichen, who had always seemed calm and indifferent. His eyes flickered, his face turned stern and thoughtful.

"Hua Hao, Hua Mifeng..." Situ Ming murmured to himself in a low voice.

They were both Martial Arts Grandmasters from Yun Province and were well aware that the Hua Family had always been the sole family there since ancient times.

It was not difficult to guess the origin of this stele bearing the Hua Family’s name.

"Assistant Minister Hua, about the names on this obelisk?" An Elder Grandmaster spoke first, seeking confirmation.

Hua Sichen, being a direct descendant of the Hua Family, was most likely to uncover the truth if the names on this black stele were indeed connected to the Hua Family.

With an emotionless expression, Hua Sichen said, "The names above are indeed of my ancestors!"

"This..."

This statement indirectly confirmed that these black steles were not fabricated, and the identities and ancient race information engraved on them were somewhat authentic.

It warranted a serious study and analysis of each and every black stele present here.

If all could be taken out, it would undoubtedly create a significant sensation.

"This place, ever since time immemorial, has never been explored until now..."

"It’s strange indeed; humans and demons have always been at odds. What happened back then for these ancient races’ and our human race’s stele graves to appear together?"

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, these two steles, the Bei Family of Feng Province and the Qin Family of Miao Province, belong to the imperial clans of the two states of the Human Race today!"

"Indeed, looking closely, the characters on these human race black steles are ancient human script. The undead corpse wasn’t babbling; even I can understand the writing on this black stele!"

"Who was it that built this massive ancient graveyard?"

"Strange! Strange!"

"..."

The dozens of Human Race Grandmasters discussed amongst themselves, and the Great Demons were no exception, all sporting strange expressions. Some even began searching for ancestral black steles related to their own bloodlines, attempting to take them away.

Unfortunately, except for the obelisk of the Ancient Qilin Race, the other black steles could not be moved.

It appeared that the tens of thousands of black steles were firmly fixed to this underground space; to lift even one of these black steles seemed akin to needing to raise the entire underground space.

Hence, even the incredibly strong Song Changming and the King of the Nine Netherworlds, or the White-haired Worm Caterpillar Brothers, found it unachievable.

Subsequently, a Great Demon, seeing that the black steles couldn’t be shifted, came up with another idea to dig three feet deep alongside these black steles in search of possibly overlooked ancient race skeletons.

Yet, whether it was due to this disrespectful act or for another reason, the moment the Demon Race acted, a massive wave of death energy was drawn from the black stele, clinging to the ghost flames above.

A sudden change occurred.

The ghost flames and death energy on the stele of the Ancient Vermilion Divine Sparrow Race fused, manifesting into a massive demon beast with spread wings, right before everyone’s eyes.

The demon beast spanned hundreds of feet, half engulfed in ghost flames, while the other half was obscured by pitch-black death energy.

"This is!!"

Both the Great Demons and Human Race Grandmasters were startled, retreating rapidly.

Even Song Changming slightly widened his eyes, focusing intently, one hand instinctively gripping his sword hilt.

The intimidating figure of the beast formed of ghost flames and death energy was truly imposing.

Besides the dark hue, the form of this demon beast was identical to that recorded of the ancient Vermilion Divine Sparrow in illustrated tomes!

A Divine Beast that had vanished without a trace for countless years reappearing in such a form before them was truly shocking.

Even if this was merely a semblance of the Vermilion Divine Sparrow and not its actual form, its mere presence was terrifying.

Just as with the Celestial Phoenix Feather, which was merely a single feather from a Celestial Phoenix.

Anything related to these ancient Divine Beasts was enough to instill dread.

The Vermilion Divine Sparrow hovered, its eyes, burning with ghost fires, scanning all the intruders around.

"Not good!" The Great Demon, who was closest at the time, realized the trouble but it was too late.

With a single flap of its wings, the Vermilion Divine Sparrow stirred up a storm, reaching the Great Demon in an instant.

The Great Demon, having recently consumed an Immortal Flower, was unable to channel his demon power, and in a flash, he was obliterated by the Vermilion Divine Sparrow’s fiery breath, his flesh and blood disappearing without a trace!

He couldn’t even let out a cry of agony before death.

Then, the Vermilion Divine Sparrow set its sights on a Human Race Grandmaster, making his hairs stand on end.

He too could not harness his Master’s Power within, and with the precedent of the recently slain Great Demon, he felt a chill run halfway down his spine.

Fortunately, as the Vermilion Divine Sparrow charged, Hua Sichen intervened.

With his cultivation, Hua Sichen could barely wield his Master’s Power, and the energy of the Immortal Fruit within him did not immediately spiral out of control.

A powerful sweep of Sword Qi swept out, instantly disintegrating most of the Vermilion Divine Sparrow’s form.

Fortunately, this wasn’t truly the descent of the Vermilion Divine Sparrow, not to the extent of sweeping all away.

"Assistant Minister Hua, I will repay today’s kindness in the future!" The Grandmaster breathed a slight sigh of relief, gratefully acknowledging Hua Sichen.

"It’s nothing, in such peril, we humans should advance and retreat together." Hua Sichen replied calmly, his gaze falling on the ghost fire and death energy dissipating.

The ghost fire drifted back to the Vermilion Divine Sparrow Race’s black stele.

"Why do I have a foreboding feeling..." Situ Ming, enveloped in green fire, muttered, observing the increasingly dense death energy around.

The denser the death energy, the more difficult it became for the living to breathe.

Without the Grandmaster Body’s ability to lock in vitality, this death energy would easily drain all life from an ordinary person.

And almost as if fulfilling Situ Ming’s words, the ghost fire entangled with death energy on those black steles began to converge and transform.

Next, everyone witnessed not only the Vermilion Divine Sparrow but also the massive Sea covering Whale, Ancient Kunpeng, and even...

The shadow of a mythical beast walking on clouds of flames, legs draped in cloud brocade, slowly materialized, appearing before everyone. It was the legendary Celestial Phoenix Divine Bird.

Despite being shadowy figures formed of ghost fire and death energy, their regal demon bodies were unmistakable, distinct from other emerging demon shadows.

"My heavens..." The sight left the Grandmasters speechless.

Earlier, a single Vermilion Divine Sparrow was enough to terrify them. Now, with other ancient Divine Beasts appearing consecutively, it felt as if the myriad deities of legends had suddenly manifested, encircling them.

Each demon shadow retained only a fraction of the ancient Divine Beasts’ might and poise, yet it was enough to etch this scene forever in their memories!

"Changming, you might not believe me, but since practicing martial arts, it’s my first time feeling nearly scared to pee myself..." Situ Ming clenched his teeth, speaking through gritted teeth.

He had always prided himself on fearing nothing under heaven, but now he realized it was simply a matter of lacking experience.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid; it was just that he had never faced a situation capable of intimidating him until now.

And now, it had appeared!

"No worries, these are merely the products of past residual souls and death energy, not the actual descent of ancient Divine Beasts." Song Changming reassured in a steady voice.

Possessing the Witch Race’s Heaven Lifting Divine Technique, he faced the myriad divine beast shadows with remarkable composure.

Amongst the entire Human Race Grandmaster ranks, only he and Hua Sichen seemed so calm.

Huaqing Pool, Bai Qing, and several other routinely expressionless prodigies were in no better shape than Situ Ming, their bodies entirely rigid.

On the Demon Race’s side, it was much the same.

Several Demon Kings could still withstand the bloodline suppression of these ancient Divine Beasts. The other, especially the Great Demons of ordinary bloodlines, were, without exaggeration, so overwhelmed that they could barely lift their heads, knees weak and on the verge of collapse.

This was the supreme pressure from the ancient Divine Beasts!

Yet these divine beast shadows were indifferent, instinctively lunging at the group of intruders.
