Chapter 1018 Forging Palace

Not long after Li Mu and the others left the Myriad Blades Palace, seven more figures rushed into it as fast as streams of light.

The seven people were surrounded by the smell of a demon. They looked like ordinary people but had monkeys’ tails and thick yellow hair. They had strange facial features. Their faces looked like those of monkeys, and each of them had a beak. They belonged to the Ape Race in devil races.

The moment the seven experts of the Ape Race entered the Myriad Blades Palace, they seemed to have triggered some kind of tactical deployment. The strange sound of tens of thousands of blades vibrating rang out again.

“Watch out.” The leading expert of the Ape Race said.

His fur was scarlet, looking like flames. He was burly, more than three meters tall, and surrounded by an evil aura. His strength was far beyond the Way Sage Realm. Obviously, he was a top expert.

They continued to go deeper.

Tens of seconds later, angry roars and miserable screams sounded in the Myriad Blades Palace.

Countless broken weapons of the palace whistled, and the broken weapons piled up like mountains seemed to have come alive. They fluttered automatically and kept cutting at the seven strangers who had barged into the Myriad Blades Palace with endless killing intent.

Such a scene had not happened when Li Mu and the others entered the Myriad Blades Palace.

In the end, after one of the seven experts of the Ape Clan was killed by the broken weapons, the other six rushed out of the Myriad Blades Palace.

The remaining six experts of the Ape Race stood outside the palace and looked back at it with lingering fear on their faces.

“The means of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless are indeed terrifying. If we had stayed longer in it, all the broken weapons in the Myriad Blades Palace would have come to life. With the killing formation, I’m afraid that all of us would have been dismembered and buried in the palace.” The expert of the Ape Race whose fur looked like red flames said.

After adjusting their breathing slightly, the six experts continued to move forward and came to second place, Shenji Palace.

They entered without any hesitation.

The Shenji Palace was much cleaner than the Myriad Blades Palace. The mechanical metal puppets were neatly arranged in the palace, divided into different squares. Some of them were wearing armor, and some were holding different weapons. Their bodies and limbs were lifelike, but their masks were blank. They had no facial features and were all faceless dummies. At first glance, they looked a little creepy.

Apart from that, the palace was filled with all sorts of mechanisms.

The squares of the metal dummies were a test. Once they approached, these faceless dummies immediately turned into lifelike and waved their weapons to attack. Each of them was extraordinary. When they cooperated with each other and the tactical deployment, their power was beyond imagination.

It took the six experts of the Ape Race a lot of effort to break out of the squares of faceless dummies with injuries.

Then they met strange traps such as flying arrows, falling stones, weak water, and so on.

These kinds of mechanisms could be seen in some ancient tombs and major forces in the Battlefield of Chaos. They were not rare, but those outside were not as powerful as the ones of the Shenji Palace, which could be a match for an Emperor-to-be. Moreover, the way they were triggered was secretive and unpredictable.

When the six experts of the Ape Race broke out of the Shenji Palace, they were exhausted.

If it weren’t for the fact that the leader, the Blazing Ape King with red fur like flames, of the Ape Race had tried his best to turn the tide many times, the team would have been wiped out long ago.

“If it weren’t for the fact that Zhuge Yun, one of the three Creators, had already broken through the Shenji Palace and destroyed some of the mechanisms, I’m afraid we would have died. Next, everyone, be careful. We must find clues about our monarch. Even if we have to die, we must bring back hope.”

The Blazing Ape King said.

“Okay.” The eyes of the other five experts of the Ape Race were firm, and their fighting spirit surged.

“Ha… There are so many corpses of experts. They are perfect materials. Every time clues about such relics come out, I can find a lot of perfect materials. You fight for the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, and I’m here to pick up corpses. Of course, it would be great if I could find the corpse of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.”

A sinister laugh echoed in the Myriad Blades Palace.

There were seven figures walking among the broken weapons. The leader was covered in a gray robe, and his face could not be seen. His walking postures looked strange. He jumped like a hamster, with a strong black Corpse Qi overflowing from his robe. It was a stinky smell.

As he jumped, he chanted some mysterious incantation.

At the same time, he held a bell in his left hand and shook it with tinkling sounds. He held a wooden sword with a very deep color and kept hacking randomly with his right hand.

The strange appearance, the strange movements, and the signature bell belonged to the most mysterious and terrifying branch, the Corpse Race, of the devil races.

The person walking at the front held the Corpse-cutting Wood Sword and shook the Corpse Controlling Bell. These two were rare treasures of the Corpse Race. It could be seen that he was an ancestor of the Corpse Race.

Six figures in loose robes behind the ancestor of the Corpse Race lined up in a straight line. The one in the front stretched out his hands, and the next one was in the same posture. Its hands were on the shoulder of the one in the front, and the four behind were the same. The latter put its hands on the shoulders of the predecessor. When they walked, they also jumped up and down like zombies. Their movements were uniform. Although they looked clumsy, they were moving very fast. Every time they jumped, their bodies flickered as if they had shrunk into an inch.

When passing by the disciple of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain who was stabbed to death by the broken Qiang, the ancestor of the Corpse Race paused for a moment and shook the Corpse Controlling Bell. The strong Death Qi in his body whizzed out like tentacles and merged into the body of the future leader of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.

Something incredible happened.

The corpse began to move. Its hands and feet twisted, and black nails grew out of its hands. They emitted cold light like metal. Its eye sockets were sunken, turned black, and its face was pale. In the end, it completely turned into a zombie and jumped down from the mountain of weapons to follow behind the six zombies. It raised its hand and put its arms on the shoulders of the zombie in front of it. It jumped up and down, following the team.

“The Way of Thunder is the supreme yang in the world. It can restrain all insidious forces. It’s the mortal enemy of the Corpse Race. But the practitioner cultivating it died. His corpse will be the perfect nutrient seed for the Corpse Race. Ha… I’m so lucky this time!”

The ancestor of the Corpse Race was very satisfied.

The Corpse Race could be said to be the race of the dead, but the dead couldn’t trigger the killing formation in the Myriad Blades Palace. Therefore, this time, there were no countless broken weapons flying and slashing wildly. Even the strange sounds of broken weapons vibrating did not appear.

In the end, the corpses of all the dead experts of the various races who had died in the Myriad Blades Palace were controlled by the ancestor of the Corpse Race. They turned into his tools and puppets and became a part of his strength.

Li Mu and the others came to the third palace.

There were only two words for the name of the third palace — Forging Palace.

Li Mu could tell what the names of the Myriad Blades Palace and the Shenji Palace meant at first glance, but the name of the Forging Palace in front of him made him a little confused.

Could it be the workshop where the Cosmic Emperor Deathless forged weapons and armor back then?

Boom!

A deafening roar came from inside the Forging Palace.

Zhuge Yun looked at the crowd and said, “Everyone, be careful. The further we go, the more dangerous it will be. I’ll walk in front. Brother Sword Fanatic, please be the last one on the team. Don’t fall behind. Otherwise, you’ll be in danger.”

“Okay.” The Sword Fanatic readily agreed.

No one else had any objections.

Along the way, Zhuge Yun avoided a lot of dangers with his wisdom and ability and won the trust of everyone.

In particular, in the process of passing through the Shenji Palace, the second palace, Zhuge Yun, one of the three Creators of the Battlefield of Chaos who came from the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements, took action to break the squares of faceless dummies and various mechanisms. That was why they could come out unscathed.

Li Mu finally knew the real power of a Creator.

Zhuge Yun was not inferior to the power of a great master of tactical deployments.

During the process of breaking through the barriers, Zhuge Yun could throw out countless little things at any time, which could be turned into various mechanical weapons. They were extremely powerful. They could be used to set up formations, break formations, cooperate with each other, evolve attack, defend, and so on. They were far more powerful than ordinary superb masters.

It could be said that Zhuge Yun was the only one who had taken action in the Shenji Palace.

The experience dazzled Qing Feng beside him.

As a young genius who had always been fond of and immersed in casting, refining weapons, and alchemy, Qing Feng felt he was good. But there was a huge gap between him and Zhuge Yun. At this time, he had a strong impulse to worship Zhuge Yun as his teacher in his heart.

Everyone entered the Forging Palace.

As soon as Li Mu saw the scene in it, he opened his mouth wide and didn’t know what to say.

It was completely different from what he had imagined. The entire Forging Palace was a strange road about a kilometer long and five meters wide. The ground was paved with some rare metal and was as smooth as a mirror. Above the road, there were huge square hammers pulled by some mysterious force. They kept rising and falling, smashing heavily on the ground the road.

They seemed to be used for forging.

The entire Forging Palace was actually a huge place used for forging.

Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble!

The huge square hammers kept smashing on the ground, causing sparks and thunder-like sounds. The deafening roars that they had heard outside came from this.

“How could we break through it?”

Li Mu looked at it for a while and felt a headache.

The hundreds of giant hammers kept rising and falling and hit the only road that could be passed. Judging by the sounds from them, he could tell how horrible the power of them was. If someone was hit by any of the hammers, the person would probably be smashed to pieces in an instant, and no flesh would be left.

“Go!”

The Sword Fanatic sent out a flying sword as fast as a streak of light. He attempted to let it go through the narrow space of the Forging Palace.

How fast the flying sword was!

However, before it could cross half of the way, it was hit by a falling giant hammer. It was smashed into powder and dissipated into the void, leaving no trace.

“Fuck! My Flowing Frost Sword was made of the so-called hardest frost gold in the Battlefield of Chaos. It was smashed into ashes in an instant. If my body had been hit by it, my bones wouldn’t have been left.”
