Chapter 406: God's Burial Place, Takamagahara
The deep sea at about 7,900 meters should have been pitch black, but when Chu Xin arrived, the warm red light illuminated the scene.
This place is full of unexpected vitality. The sea water is like a slowly flowing sunset glow, and endless schools of fish shuttle freely in the sunset glow, just like soaring in the dusk sky.
These deep-sea fish are just like those shot in the movie, with all kinds of strange appearances, or emitting dreamy color fluorescence.
However, Chu Xin found something different. Even if they are all deep-sea fish, they should not be so different from the biology of the earth, such as the manta ray with a black and white exoskeleton on its head, the octopus with scales on its tentacles, the turtle with a fleshy shell like red basalt on its back, and the hundred-meter-long whale covered with cloud patterns... There is no doubt that they have all been stimulated by dragon blood to mutate to a greater or lesser extent, and have multiplied from generation to generation into their current form, becoming a subspecies of dragons.
According to science, there shouldn't be large marine life in such a deep sea, but the facts are in front of us, and we can infer that something has reconstructed the ecological environment here.
Looking down, the left side of the Neon Trench is a flat and wide seabed, the right side is a rugged and steep cliff, and in the middle is a huge crack running north-south, which is thousands of miles long.
The crust cracked to reveal the mantle layer, where the depth reached 8,500 meters. In addition to the dark red magma gushing continuously, there were also dull thunders caused by the vaporization of seawater, but it was not the whispering heartbeat of the demon god.
The magma gathered into a burning red river, filling the cracks in the trench, but it was clearly separated from the ubiquitous black seawater, like a magic weapon that was eternally tempered in the endless deep sea.
Under the rock layer, trillions of tons of magma are stored. It is precisely because of the existence of this trench that Neon has become the most active and frequent earthquake area.
Wow!
As Chu Xin and his party came to the top of the lava river, the fish schools, fierce hammerhead sharks and giant squids, and dragon whales that were bigger than Samson and Luoshen combined all fled in all directions, as if they had sensed the coming of the tiger, and the fear from the depths of their blood drove them to leave instinctively.
Because the king who was hotter and more violent than the lava led his army to descend from the sky, the rolling dragon power cleared all the noise, and the empty world was left with only the sound of lava splashing and water vapor evaporating and bursting.
Rustle!
In the cracks of the rock formations far away, thousands of fireflies also rose and flew away as if frightened, clustering together like a faint blue halo.
Chu Xin's pupils shrank like a camera, adjusting the focus of the naked eye, and the fireflies quickly enlarged in his eyes.
They were not insects, but small fish as slender as snakes, with small tail fins and pectoral fins, with dazzling silver scales, and glowing tentacles hanging from their heads.
The most striking thing is their cracked mouths and protruding sharp teeth.
"Ghost-toothed viper." Chu Xin read out its name.
When it was still the Dragon Dynasty, dragons used this piranha-like creature as one of the most cruel torture instruments.
The dragon nobles who committed crimes were tied to bronze pillars and sunk to the bottom of the sea. The judge released dense ghost-toothed vipers to gnaw the bodies of the sinners day and night until the sinners and the bronze pillars were eaten up.
The sharp teeth of these snake fish can easily bite metal and ore!
After an unknown period of time, this scene finally changed.
Over a tall underwater ridge, a black giant tower stood on a sloping gentle slope, and the fiery red magma tide rose and fell at its feet. It was quiet and solemn, like an unknown god.
As Chu Xin and his party continued to move forward, a majestic and ancient city was like a slowly unfolding scroll, showing all under them.
The houses radiate from the giant tower to the surroundings, but half of them have slid into the long river of magma, and the other half are only collapsed ruins.
Even though it is only in ruins, it is still not difficult to see its grandeur, as if countless giants holding axes chopped and built on intact rocks, and then poured all the gorgeous metals in the world to decorate and beautify it.
This scale is definitely not an ordinary product.
The Kingdom of God!
Or the Kingdom of Demons?
"God's Burial Place, Takama-ga-hara." Chu Xin murmured, making sure he had found the right place.
In Neon Mythology, Takama-ga-hara is where the gods live, and here is a cage used to seal ancient kings!
The White King rebelled and was punished and killed by the Black Emperor, but as a white monarch under one dragon and above ten thousand dragons, the White King left a back-up for resurrection, which is the holy bones as a part of the body. The biological genes and memories contained in it can allow the White King to return to the world after countless years.
The so-called holy remains are actually equivalent to the flesh and blood tissues hidden by Chu Xin in various places. This method is considered a basic operation of the dragon clan, and it is not surprising.
The holy remains of the White King are buried and imprisoned in the rocks on the bottom of the seabed of Takamagahara!
However, the huge heartbeat did not come from the holy remains, but from another king.
Chu Xin signaled Luo Shen and other subordinates to wait on the top of the giant tower, and he continued to move forward on Samson. Behind a door that looked like a neon torii, he saw a strange building that was out of tune with Takamagahara. At first glance, it looked like a tall ridge.
Although it is very tall, it is not as beautiful as the surrounding buildings. The main reason is that the shape is irregular and weird. There are countless snail-like shell creatures clinging to the surface, completely covering every inch of space. When the water waves flow, they wriggle and shake, like millions of maggots going in and out of the corpse of an elephant.
Chu Xin held his breath and concentrated.
Dong~
Dong~
Sure enough, the sound of heartbeats came from inside the building.
Boom——
As if sensing the uninvited guest's ill-intentioned visit, the entire Takamagahara suddenly shook.
The sea water was surging, and the water continued to rise with gravel and lung snails.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, thousands of heartbeats fell into Chu Xin's ears, and Samson's eyes became sinister. He looked around vigilantly, and finally stared at the giant building.
Samson didn't like this place very much. The inexplicable pressure dissolved into the sea water, squeezing his spirit in all directions.
But as long as the figure above his head stood still, Samson didn't panic at all.
The heartbeats became more and more intense, and the speed and strength of Takamagahara's tremors also increased rapidly. The snails on the surface of the huge building began to fall off layer by layer, gradually revealing their true appearance.
"The icebreaker with the first generation of inactivated embryos," Chu Xin reached out and touched it from a distance of a thousand meters, "very rich water elements, one of the kings of the ocean and water."
The giant building was indeed not an original object of Takamagahara, but a super icebreaker that fell here headfirst, with a total length of over 100 meters, and the exposed length was more than 80 meters.
When the many lung snails wrapped around the icebreaker fell off, the bloody color was revealed.
The icebreaker was used as a frame, densely covered with still trembling tendons and fascia. These flesh and blood tissues spread and grew on the hull, and merged with the steel metal. The lung snails extended their mouthparts and greedily bit the flesh and blood, absorbing its nutrients to breed and mate, and even the wounds and gaps in the hull were filled with parasitic snail creatures.
At the location where the icebreaker was inserted into the seabed, thick blood vessels penetrated into the cracks of the seabed, and a steady stream of dragon blood flowed out from the embryos in the ship, nourishing Takamagahara.
To be precise, it was the Holy Remains of the White King sealed in Takamagahara.
In the icebreaker, there was one of the four kings, the king of the ocean and water.
It was deprived of its brain while still in the embryonic state, and only had a first-generation dragon body. Because of its powerful bloodline, it would not die completely. The body without a soul would continue to grow, constantly transfusing blood and providing nutrition to Takamagahara. Marine creatures including lung snails rewrote their genes after sucking its blood and evolved into dragon subspecies.
So, the once noble and great king became a placenta and sacrifice.
Chu Xin saw at a glance that the icebreaker and the embryo were subjected to extremely evil alchemy, the purpose of which was to achieve the scene he saw at the moment.
From this, it can be seen that someone wants to awaken the White King's Holy Remains!
As for who sank the icebreaker here and gave a king who could have been reborn as a pitiful sacrifice to the White King, there was a bigger and deeper conspiracy behind this matter, and the mastermind behind the scenes involved the darkest secrets of the world.
Rumble~ Rumble~
The magma river rose up a dozen meters of fire waves, slowly breaking in the confinement of the sea water.
The earthquake continued, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground of Takamagahara, and countless heartbeats came from the dark cracks, as if the devil was about to break through the gate of hell.
The embryo was instinctively panicked by Chu Xin's arrival, so it had a strong resistance reaction, and the chain reaction caused Takamagahara to be on the verge of collapse.
"You stay here."
Chu Xin ignored it and jumped off Samson's head.
With a thought, the sea water was suddenly squeezed to the surroundings, and a waterless space was burned in an instant, and he turned into a complete form of 120 meters long.
Boom--
When the King of Bronze and Fire showed his true body, Takamagahara erupted completely like a volcano ready to move.
The cracks in the street were torn and widened, and thick scarlet water mist gushed out, and then, monsters with human bodies and snake tails crawled out along the cracks.
They roared and tore the sticky afterbirth wrapped around their bodies. Their skin was metallic and their height ranged from two to five meters. Their slowly opened golden eyes were full of murderous rage. But when they all looked up and saw Chu Xin, their faces showed extremely human fear. Without saying a word, they fled in all directions, without any intention of fighting Chu Xin.
These creatures were snake-like corpses guarding Takamagahara. They were sealed under the city with the White King's holy body.
Chu Xin ignored them and flew straight to the end of the icebreaker.
His claws clasped into the warm flesh of the embryo, and then flapped his wings and dragged it out.
Buzz~~~!
All the blood vessels that were submerged in the ground of Takamagahara were broken. Under brute force, the icebreaker was pulled out from the seabed bit by bit.
Boom, boom, boom~
The embryo's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, perhaps because Chu Xin's hot embrace made it feel uneasy.
Chu Xin flew up with the icebreaker in his arms and threw it in an open, flat and safe area to prevent the embryo from being damaged by the next wave.
You know, this is one of his two major goals in coming to Neon.
…
More and more snake-tailed corpse guards "hissed" out from under Takamagahara. Without exception, in the face of the majestic pressure of the three pure-blooded dragons, they could not think of resisting at all, and their killing desires were suppressed by instinctive fear.
In other words, they were loyal to the White King's Holy Remains if they did not rebel on the spot.
Chu Xin did not care about the departure of the snake-shaped corpse guards, nor did he order Samson to stop them, allowing them to escape from the Neon Trench and hide in other seas.
As the icebreaker was separated, the vibration of Takamagahara gradually eased.
"Simulation·Earth-type Word Spirit·The Wrath of Geb."
The obscure and ancient dragon text was chanted in a low voice. He did not command the fire element, but simulated the power of the words of the king of the earth and the mountain, which could release special shock waves to resonate with objects within a certain specified range and cause vibrations.
Rumble~
The right claw vibrated with dark ring-shaped ripples. As he swung a straight punch in the air, the ripples quickly penetrated the air and hit the foot of the giant tower of Takamagahara.
Boom--
A few seconds later, Takamagahara collapsed suddenly, and the buildings on the slope slid towards the lava river like a mudslide. The giant tower also fell down, splashing sparks.
Takamagahara began to fall apart, and the dense cracks expanded in the blink of an eye, revealing the deeper seabed rock layers.
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, the sea water gushed out, like a flock of sheep chased by a lion.
Roar--
The next second, a huge monster smashed the sacrificial square of Takamagahara from bottom to top, and the dragon's might spread out.
This is a second-generation species.
The body is more than 30 meters long from head to tail, as long as Samson, but with a wider shoulder.
A pair of wings with only skeletons left are gathered on the back, and it moves flexibly and quickly in the water like a water snake.
There is no breath of life on its body, and it is full of alchemical fluctuations like Luoshen. From head to tail, it is skin and bones, and even the abdomen and other parts are only bones. The abdominal cavity is empty, with pieces of rotten flesh hanging down.
It also wears clanging armor, each piece is connected by metal chains, making it look like an undead skeleton dragon in an underground maze.
Takamagahara's strongest guard, the king of corpse guards!
Golden eyes, ignite.
Then, it expanded its ribs on both sides, and pairs of golden eyes lit up in the dark body.
Wow~
Hundreds of snake-tailed corpse guards and ghost-toothed dragon vipers came out in a line. They are the personal guards of the corpse guard king, absolutely loyal and obedient.
Led by the corpse guard king, they swarmed towards Samson. Hearing the strange news, Luo Shen immediately led the beast guard army and the corpse guard army to meet the enemy.
A fierce fight broke out.
Samson took the initiative to fight against the corpse guard king, while Luo Shen was entangled by a group of terrible ghost tooth dragon vipers, and the soldiers of both sides also fought in the water.
Chu Xin did not intervene. He released [Word Spirit·Blood Tie Luo].
"Found it."
Soon, an extremely dazzling silk thread connected the deep rock layer of Takamagahara. According to the fluctuations, the distance between them was rapidly increasing.
The White King's Holy Remains wanted to escape!
Chu Xin didn't care about anything else and got into the huge crack in Takamagahara without hesitation.
As soon as he came in, he realized that his huge body was actually a shackle, and he couldn't move an inch in the intricate and different-sized rock crevices.
So, he changed into a simulated human form with a bronze mask on his face, kicked his feet, and shot into a slightly narrow rock passage like a bullet.
