Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 180 The Primordial Era's Pyramid

Chapter 180 The Primordial Era’s Pyramid

This was a large Source man with over a thousand miners inside mining. Terrified shouts rang out exceptionally far inside the large space.

The miners turned mad as they fled. Bones were everywhere. They were in large piles and some of them were extremely hard, causing many people to trip and become trampled on.

Within the deeps of the mine shaft, bloody mist floated out. Every person who touched it screamed and turned into a pulp of blood.

The cultivators all took action and took out weapons and used secret arts to seal that bloody mist.

However, no matter what weapon or secret art, they were unable to block the bloody mist. It had an powerful corrosion effect that quickly melted over ten weapons.

“Ghost, save me!”

“It had three eyes, I saw the ghost!”

The miners were all fleeing for their lives. All kinds of shouts of terror rang out.

Ye Fan had a bad feeling. Those experienced miners’ prediction had probably come true. He was extremely fast, quickly arriving at the front of the crowd. In just a couple breaths worth of time he rushed out of the shaft and ran to a safe place much further away before stopping.

BANG!

The shaft was pierced through as a group miserable cultivator rushed out of. One of them was a middle-aged man who had become almost deranged. He left out a frightened scream, but in an instant turned into a bloody pulp that fell the ground.

The mine was a complete panic and screams and cries rang through the arm. The people fleeing were trembling with fear as they desperately ran.

Only half an hour later did everyone calm down. A thousand people had gone down the shaft mining, but in the end only three hundred people ran out alive. The remaining people had all died within.

The cultivators all had gloomy expression. They had wanted to seal the bloody mist but the result was that five of them had died, including a Dao Palace secret realm middle-aged man.

For such a thing to happen, they naturally had to report it quickly. The appearance of a ghost mine was what they hated dealing with the most.

Not long after, a Grand Elder along with seven or eight elders quickly rushed over and carefully inquired the details.

In the end, not one person could explain it in detail, and even the people who personally saw it could only say it looked like a motionless ghost.

“All of you should retreat,” ordered the Grand Elder named Li Yun. His finger was like a sword as he slashed out with it.

A light shot out and turned into a huge sword light that pierced down.

A thunderous noise rang out as dust flew up. That huge mine was cut open and the dark and eerie shaft was exposed, appearing very strange.

Grand Elder Li Yun continued waving his finger. That sword light was over sixty meters long continuously slashed down, completely revealing the shaft to the word.

All the stone was sent flying hundreds of meters away. A huge stone out appeared there with many stone bones. Li Yun took them out before descending not far.

Ye Fan was looking from the side, his heart startled. The huge amount of bones had all turned to stone, and upon careful examination, none of them were human bones. There were some human-shaped life forms, but they were all a bit different from humans.

Grand Elder continuously waved that large sword to cleave apart the mine. Using a certain technique he seized all the bones and placed them on the brown ground.

A mountain of stone bones quickly appeared. There were at least over ten thousand corpses.

Strand after strand of bloody mist rose. Li Yun’s sword light was actually melted when it touched it. He waved his sleeve and scattered the bloody mist towards the sky. It was only a long time later that everything calmed down.

He then displayed a secret art that condensed a green hand of light that reached deep into the mine.

The ground immediately began to shake, and that huge hand picked up all the stones within the mine and placed them on the ground.

“A demonic ghost!”

“It’s that demon ghost!”

There were several Sources on the blood colored soil. Each was as large as a washbowl. Such a size was extremely rare and precious which made it a high-grade ore.

What started people was that each Source had something inside it and they weren’t pure.

The first two Sources sealed a scarlet liquid which was obviously blood. It was due to one of them rupturing that the inside blood had flown out to cause the tragedy.

“Just how powerful was this life-form. Its blood turned into a bloody mist that was capable of killing Dao Palace secret realm cultivators…” The various elders were all shivering.

Grand Elder Li Yun was also frowning.

The third Source sealed a crystal finger that was very beautiful, spotlessly pure white. Although it was just a finger, people could clearly tell it was not ordinary as a vast Qi had been stored within.

The fourth Source was the most shocking. Half a head had been sealed inside. The face had thin scales, the forehead had a third eye and it had thick black hair. The head had been split in two by someone before.

“There should be two life-forms. Careful examination reveals that the finger and that half head are clearly not from the same corpse.” The elders were all very startled.

“These four Sources are too important. I need to personally bring them back to the Sacred Land.” Grand Elder Li Yun’s expression was heavy.

Although they couldn’t be considered legendary Divine Sources, but there were life-forms sealed within which made their price beyond estimation. They could not lose them at any cost.

He sealed the four Sources and then waved his sleeve to collect them. He then carefully examined the stones.

The stones that had been excavated out along with the Sources had two broken stone skeletons. One was slender while one was large. They were two different life-forms, and although they were human-shaped, they were definitely not humans. The slender one had six arms while the large one had a pair of bone wings.

Ye Fan could clearly see them from a distant and was speechless inside. These were such powerful life-forms, how could have vanished without a trace?

Rumble…

Suddenly, the great mine exposed to the outside world began to cave in, and everyone was frightened. The mine’s bottom was caving in and a huge black pit appeared.

The mine actually had another bottomless pit appear in it!

That was not something excavated by them, but something that had existed long before and only revealed itself now.

A cold and sinister air charged out, causing everyone to tremble.

Even Grand Elder Li Yun could not remain calm now. “Looks like this place is definitely extraordinary.”

He let everyone retreat and personally took action, using his divine consciousness to explore it. He used all his abilities and used supreme secret arts.

BOOM!

The land shook as the soil split open. He used the Flickering Light’s divine arts to cause this mine shaft to arise. This was similar to moving mountains to reclaim lands.

The soil flew out as the land fractured. The mine was continuously rising and many rocks cracked and were sent flying into the distance.

The Grand Elder was using a secret art to move the land’s crust several meters deep.

The huge pit was no longer low. It now slowly floated up.

“Heavens…what is that?”

The scarlet land shook as the sinister air becoming increasingly dense. The cold shine of metal appeared.

“It’s a huge piece of metal!”

With the turmoil of the rocks and soil, the bottom of the pit appeared at ground level and everyone could see it.

This was definitely no natural thing. There was a very smooth and hard piece of stone that was several kilometers large. On the edges were immense stone obelisks rising high into the air.

At the very center of this stone land was a towering metal pyramid over a hundred meters tall. Its whole body was made of green metal without the slightest bit of corrosion.

Ye Fan was immediately shocked. What was this thing?

There were stars, the sun, and the moon carved on top of it that shined brightly.

This huge pyramid was made of some unknown metal. At the very latest, it had to be from the Primordial Era. I might even come from earlier, but time hadn’t erased it.

Grand Elder Li Yun frowned before waving his sleeve and trying to collect that huge metal pyramid.

But he was shocked to find that no matter what he did, he was unable to budge it. However, hazy mist surged out.

“There’s something strange!””

Li Yun walked up and used his divine energy to sweep through the pyramid. The sun, moon, and stars on it lit up, their light shining. He was actually sucked inside.

The various elders were all shocked and worried.

BOOM!

The green metallic pyramid shook, causing everyone to feel stifled Many of the mortals collapsed to the ground limply.

A short time later, the pyramid’s sun, moon, and stars once more lit up and Li Yun rushed out, his face deathly pale with blood running out his mouth as he staggered back in retreated.

“Withdraw! Everyone fall back, don’t get close to her!” His body staggered as he shouted at everyone to run.

Ye Fan was shocked. Just what kind of strange thing was this metal pyramid to cause a Flickering Light Grand Elder to suffer such a loss?

“This thing is too important. Seal the news here. I will quickly return the Sacred Land. None of you are to approach it at any cost.” Li Yun seriously explained before hurriedly leaving, preparing to traverse the void.

The fifteen mining area had turned into forbidden land that no one could enter. Ye Fan frowned. This place did not bode well, and he didn’t want to stay. But right now he didn’t have any means to leaving.

The fourth day after Grand Elder Li Yun left, the Flickering Light sacred Lady rushed over and brought news that the Sacred Master would be personally coming not long from now.

Ye Fan’s mouth curled. How unlucky for Yao Xi to actually appear here. If she were to notice him, she would definitely peel his skin in torture.

He saw her from a distance. She was just like the past, a fairy whose beauty could cause the collapse of nations, like jade from a pearl, her body beautiful and perfect.

The thousands of mortals that saw her thought she was a fairy and many of them lost their self control before then feeling ashamed of their inferiority.

Ye Fan hid behind those mortals, but he wasn’t that worried he would be noticed. He secretly smiled. This so called fairy’s inner garments were all in his robe.

If this secret were to be passed out, the powerful sacred lands would probably all be shaken.

I definitely leak this news. The fifteenth mining area has been completely sealed and no one is allowed to enter.” The Flickering Light Sacred Lady’s voice was as beautiful as ever.

However, just at this time, she suddenly paused and her expression became dazed. Apparently she was very shocked.

Ye Fan’s heart shook. Could it be she had noticed him? That didn’t seem likely.

At this moment, she and the other cultivators all cried out.

“You…who are you? How have you come here?!”

When Ye Fan heard this, he turned to look at the pyramid. Green light appeared and in front of the pyramid had at some unknown time appeared an old woman.

She had appeared without any warning, and no one knew where she had come from. It was like she had teleported out of nowhere.

She carefully revolved around the pyramid, her mouth muttering some unknown things.

The fifteen mining area stretched as far as the eye could see and the land was very spacious. If an outside came, they would definitely be noticed at the first moment.

However, even with everyone present, no one had noticed.

Ye Fan was exceptionally shocked. “It’s her!”

He never thought he would once more meet this old woman within the northern region.

Back then in the Ancient Desolation Forbidden Land, the first time he saw the old madman, this old woman had appeared. It was from her words that he learned the old madman was someone from six thousand years ago.

“For someone from the same era as the old madman to actually appear here…” Ye Fan couldn’t help being shocked.
