1262 The Skeletal Remains of Heroes (2)
On each tombstone was a name and race.
A few figures stood among the tombstones with extremely solemn expressions.
“Cang Hao, this place…” A voice sounded in the darkness.
“Everyone here is a hero who died in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.” A voice full of vicissitudes sounded.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi’s expression was solemn as he fell silent.
He had long heard about the ancient races.
Back then, in order to buy time for Zhou Shu to mend the heavens, these people had risked their lives to kill their way to the outside world and never returned to their world.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi didn’t expect Cang Hao to build a cemetery here after struggling to survive in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi found it difficult to imagine how Cang Hao did it.
After coming to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, w.a.n.g Xuanyi, like Zhou Shu, realized the strength of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom for the first time.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi wasn’t confident that he could last so many years in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
“I promised them I would bring them home,” Cang Hao continued. “I’m afraid I can’t do it now.”
Cang Hao coughed violently.
A moment later, he stopped coughing, and his gaze landed on w.a.n.g Xuanyi, Zhang San, and the others. “You should already know my ident.i.ty.”
w.a.n.g Xuanyi nodded and blamed himself. “If not for the fact that you saved us, your whereabouts wouldn’t have been exposed…”
Cang Hao shook his head and interrupted w.a.n.g Xuanyi. “It has nothing to do with you. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. Even without this matter, they would have found me sooner or later.
“This is the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom after all.”
Cang Hao sighed.
“The other incarnation won’t be able to stall for long, so I’ll make it short,” Cang Hao said in a deep voice. “The first thing is, if there’s a chance, help me bring them home.”
Cang Hao looked at the dense tombstones on the island.
“I agree.” w.a.n.g Xuanyi nodded solemnly.
“The second matter is that the paragon of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the Black Emperor, is injured…”
Boom!
Before Cang Hao could finish speaking, a roar came from afar.
Then a ball of light exploded in the heavy water. The water crashed toward the path they were on like a dragon.
Cang Hao snorted, took a step forward, and punched out.
A similar water dragon circled the island, turning the impact into nothingness.
A figure appeared in front of the island. It was another incarnation of Zhou Shu, who had come with w.a.n.g Xuanyi and the others.
The incarnation looked disheveled at the moment. He was covered in blood, and it was unknown if it was his own or the enemy’s.
“Let’s go!” the incarnation shouted and rushed forward.
In front of him, light appeared. Twelve experts in dragon-patterned golden armor appeared in all directions.
The twelve experts’ auras soared. Each of them surpa.s.sed the Grotto-Heaven Master realm.
As they stood there, the boundless heavy water seemed to be subdued, and all creatures within a five-kilometer radius fled frantically.
A golden-armored expert raised his arm and pointed his saber at Zhou Shu’s incarnation. “Remnants of the heavenly courts, let’s see where you can escape to this time!”
“Escape?” Cang Hao took a step forward and arrived beside Zhou Shu’s other incarnation. He said coldly, “I don’t need to escape. Since you’re here, stay here and mourn my dead brothers.”
Before he finished speaking, his aura rose crazily.
Boom!
The wounds on his body seemed to crack open, staining the heavy water around him red.
But Cang Hao didn’t seem to notice.
Back then, when Cang Hao was the Giant Spirit King, his strength was similar to that of a Grotto-Heaven Master.
Over the years in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, his strength had significantly improved, and he had already broken through the limit of Grotto-Heaven Masters.
It was not inferior to the twelve golden-armored experts opposite him.
“Give me a hand,” Cang Hao said.
The twelve golden-armored experts frowned slightly, not knowing who Cang Hao was talking to.
The ants on the island?
Even w.a.n.g Xuanyi, who was at the Grotto-Heaven Master realm, was no different from an ant in the eyes of these golden-armored experts.
As for Zhou Shu’s other incarnation, his strength was barely acceptable, but it wasn’t worth mentioning.
The only person they could take seriously here was Cang Hao!
After more than ten thousand years of cultivation, Cang Hao’s strength had even surpa.s.sed Zhou Shu’s.
After all, Cang Hao had lived for more than ten thousand years, while Zhou Shu had directly returned to the future. Even though Zhou Shu had the Legendary Armament Canon, it wasn’t so easy to catch up to the difference of ten thousand years.
Therefore, in the current situation, Cang Hao was the strongest, followed by Zhou Shu and Zhou Shu’s other incarnation.
Previously, Cang Hao had saved w.a.n.g Xuanyi, Zhang San, and the others, and Zhou Shu’s other incarnation had stayed behind to block the enemy.
In the end, he was beaten up and covered in wounds. This was very telling.
Amid the doubts of the twelve golden-armored experts, Zhou Shu’s other incarnation nodded.
Without any hesitation, the incarnation took a step toward Cang Hao.
Then his body sank into Cang Hao’s body.
Cang Hao’s aura, which had already reached its peak, soared again.
Boom!
Cang Hao’s aura broke through a limit. The heavy water shook violently, and the twelve golden-armored experts felt unstable.
The island behind Cang Hao was carried away by the water.
“Your Highness!” Zhang San exclaimed, about to step forward.
“Wait!” w.a.n.g Xuanyi pressed him down, his expression full of pain and conflict. “Apart from tempting fate, it’s useless for you to go over! Have you forgotten what he said? We still have to bring the remains of these heroes home!”
w.a.n.g Xuanyi stared ahead. Cang Hao was already fighting the twelve golden-armored experts.
The intense fluctuations coming from the water let them feel the intensity of the battle.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi, Diao Moye, and Shi Changsheng took action at the same time to protect the island.
Under such circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Xuanyi, Diao Moye, and Shi Changsheng couldn’t help Cang Hao even if they wanted to.
They didn’t have any strength left.
Boom!
They saw blood splatter from Cang Hao’s body, but his feet seemed to have taken root, blocking the twelve golden-armored experts, not letting them pa.s.s at all.
“Go! Don’t forget your promise to me!” Cang Hao roared.
w.a.n.g Xuanyi and the others growled with red eyes.
A powerful aura erupted from w.a.n.g Xuanyi’s body as he pushed the entire island into the darkness.
“Cang Hao, we’ve chased you for so long. It’s time to end this today!” the twelve golden-armored experts roared.
The twelve experts erupted with powerful auras at the same time. The area within a radius of dozens of kilometers seemed to have become a forbidden area in an instant.
An extremely powerful aura pressed down on Cang Hao.
“If you want my life, you have to accompany me on my way!” Cang Hao’s voice sounded in the dazzling light.
Waves surged into the sky, and the entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom seemed to tremble.
At this moment, hundreds of kilometers away, Zhou Shu and Mu Zhixing were slightly stunned.
“Mu Zhixing, are we going in that direction?” Zhou Shu asked.
“Yes.” Mu Zhixing nodded, and then he said doubtfully, “Has Cang Hao been discovered? That’s not good…”
Mu Zhixing’s first reaction was to turn around and leave.
He was unwilling to get involved in a battle of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
It had nothing to do with him!
Zhou Shu’s expression turned solemn. Has Cang Hao been discovered?
Although he didn’t want to cause trouble, he couldn’t just accept being bullied!
