266: Tomb of the Human King

The ancient war involved in the Slaughtering Heaven Plains is too distant, and many of its secrets have vanished into the river of history.

The cause of this ancient war is even more unknown; most people are unaware of why this great battle began.

However, some forces with extremely long Legacies are clear about why this ancient war started...

The Human King’s Mandate!

Back then, foreign races invaded this world, and the heavens and earth were on the verge of destruction, with living beings perishing. It was a moment of extreme peril.

A supreme expert in this world, who was infinitely close to the Samsara Realm, was known as the Human King. The Human King led the masses and stepped forward, engaging in a protracted war with these foreign races.

Ultimately, the Human King killed these foreign races, saved this world, and earned an Opportunity for all living beings to settle down and live in peace... but the Human King also died in this great war.

The experts who rushed from various forces were precisely here for the Human King!

The Human King rests here. If one could find the Human Kings Tomb... it would be possible to obtain the Human King's Legacy!

That would be an extraordinary Opportunity!

Regarding the Human King, Li Qi knows more than the leaders of these major forces. He had long ago deduced the exact location of the Human Kings Tomb through the Spiritual Turtle Divine Calculation, and also deduced some specific conditions within the Human Kings Tomb.

The hexagram indicated... great ominousness!

There is a high probability that there is no Opportunity or Legacy in the Human Kings Tomb.

On the contrary, there is probably only danger in this tomb.

And it's the kind of danger that is very deadly.

Therefore, Li Qi kept a respectful distance from the Human Kings Tomb. He avoided the area where the Human Kings Tomb was located from afar and would never approach it.

Furthermore, according to Li Qi's hexagram deduction, the Breakthrough Opportunity he needed was also on a Corpse Fiend, but this Corpse Fiend was very special. It was constantly moving, and its speed was also very fast.

Li Qi was simultaneously calculating the Corpse Fiend's position and pursuing it, but alas, the Corpse Fiend's speed was too fast. The two sides were always separated by nearly a hundred li, and Li Qi couldn't catch up, ending up circling around the Slaughtering Heaven Plains several times.

“What the hell?”

“Is that guy really that fast?”

“Could it be that this guy was constantly wandering around here even when the Slaughtering Heaven Plains wasn’t open?”

“Is he exercising here?”

Li Qi was speechless, muttering to himself.

He hurried along, but whenever he felt he was about to catch up to his target, he would always be blocked by the evil creatures here.

Left with no choice, Li Qi could only kill these evil creatures, then transcend them, and then continue on his way, which naturally slowed him down.

But it wasn't without Harvest. After entering the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, the number of evil creatures killed by Li Qi had exceeded two hundred, thus earning him a lot of Potential Points.

The Corpse Fiends he transcended did not provide Potential Points, but some of them gave Li Qi some Cultivation Techniques and items in return, so Li Qi also had some good gains.

Just as Li Qi continued on his way, several figures suddenly appeared and surrounded Li Qi.

“Good kid, you dare to wander alone in the Slaughtering Heaven Plains.”

“I wonder what you should do now that you’ve met us in a place like this?”

“Hahahahahahaha…”

The ones surrounding Li Qi were not evil creatures, but people, who, like Li Qi, had also come from outside.

It was just that these guys looked vicious and thuggish, clearly not good people. Now that they had surrounded Li Qi, their malice was almost undisguised.

In fact, Li Qi had noticed these guys early on and had planned to bypass them from afar, but these few people were relentless. Upon noticing Li Qi trying to bypass them, they directly chased after him.

“Brothers, I have something to do and am in a hurry to get somewhere.”

“Please make way.”

Li Qi remained calm after being surrounded, speaking quietly.

But these few people seemed to have heard something very funny and immediately burst into laughter, holding their stomachs.

“Hahahahahahaha… Is this kid scared silly?”

“You still don’t understand the situation? You still want to leave now?”

“Of course, this matter isn’t entirely unnegotiable…”

“As long as you hand over all the good things you’ve found in the Slaughtering Heaven Plains… letting you go isn’t impossible.”

“Kid, I advise you to be sensible and not force my hand!”

The burly man surrounding Li Qi sneered, his arrogance soaring.

Li Qi's gaze swept across the faces of these few people, and he shook his head helplessly, feeling a bit resigned.

No matter where, there are always those who try to fish in troubled waters. These people don't seek Opportunities for themselves; instead, they attack others to snatch their gains.

Especially in a perilous place like the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, there are particularly many people who try to fish in troubled waters!

It's just that these guys, of all things, shouldn't have chosen Li Qi as their target.

“I am inherently kind and have no intention of killing…”

“But why do you insist on forcing me?”

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi flashed and appeared directly in front of one of the burly men.

His five fingers were pressed together like a blade, and he directly thrust his palm through the burly man’s chest!

“Tear—!”

The sound of flesh being torn echoed, the burly man's heart and lungs shattered, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

“Hoo hoo hoo… hoo hoo…”

The burly man's face was terrified and pained. He desperately gripped Li Qi's arm, opening his mouth to say something, but the continuously gushing blood from his mouth prevented him from speaking, only allowing him to emit a series of gasping sounds.

Li Qi watched the burly man in front of him indifferently. Nine worlds continuously circulated, and violent world power flowed into the burly man's body through Li Qi's arm.

With a loud bang, the burly man's body was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the world power, scattering with the wind.

From Li Qi's move to killing this burly man, it happened in just a brief moment. The few people surrounding Li Qi were all horrified.

“Damn it! He killed Third Brother!”

Li Qi then slowly turned around and sneered at the few guys who intended to rob him.

“Alright… next.”
