Chapter 1272: The stone statue in the ruined temple!

Translator: 549690339

“Qingqing, big brother ye, the darkness is here. Come and sit down ...” Qing Shan shouted.

The rest of the people got up one after another and surrounded the fire. They were close together, almost shoulder to shoulder, and suddenly made a lot of space in the narrow and dilapidated temple.

Even Qing Qing was no exception.

Seeing ye Chen’s confusion, the little girl immediately panicked.””Brother ye, come sit over here ...”

The next moment!

The cries and roars outside the ruined temple became more and more intense, and then countless running savage beasts swarmed in.

Among them, there was a huge snail-like tentacle monster, a one-legged frog-like monster, and a white ape as strong as a bull ...

These existences seemed to be hiding from something and rushed into the ruined temple madly. As if they did not see ye chen and the others, they squeezed together tightly and looked outside with fear.

Ye chen followed their gaze and saw endless darkness coming from outside the ruined temple. Countless savage beasts ran wildly as if they wanted to avoid it.

However, the darkness was fast. After some of the savage beasts fell into the darkness, the terrifying sound of flesh and bones being chewed could be heard.

“Soul sand?”

Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He couldn’t be more familiar with this scene. He had once experienced it on the Ghost Ship. There was a terrifying existence hidden in the black fog that specialized in devouring flesh.

He didn’t expect to see them here again. It was no wonder that so many savage beasts were running in a panic.

Just as ye chen thought the darkness would flood into the ruined temple ...

However, the darkness suddenly stopped at the entrance of the ruined temple and did not move an inch forward, as if there was an invisible door blocking them outside.

“Buzz buzz buzz ...”

The stone walls around the ruined temple glowed with fluorescent light. The strange patterns began to squirm, as if the words had come to life.

The stone statue behind them also glowed.

The stone statue seemed to be a man. He had a long beard and held a halberd in his hand. His eyes were angry and his brows were furrowed. His body was covered in dust, containing the aura of time and decay.

Immediately after that, Qing Shan and the others, as well as all the savage beasts in the ruined temple, knelt down to the stone statue, as if they were worshiping and praying.

“Emperor pressure, this is Emperor pressure ...”

Ye chen looked at the stone statue in front of him quietly. After feeling the aura from its body, he could not help but be moved.

The stone statue could actually emit the majesty of an Emperor’s throne realm!

It was this Emperor’s might that blocked the darkness outside the ruined temple and saved all the living beings.

‘Is this a stone statue of an Emperor’s throne realm expert?’

Thinking of this, he slowly got up and walked towards the stone statue, trying to reach out his hand to touch it.

“Roar!”

At this time, all the savage beasts who were kneeling and worshiping roared at ye chen as if they were warning him.

“Brother ye, you can’t do this!”

The expressions of Qing Shan and the others also changed drastically.”This is our Guardian God! We can’t profane him!”

Ye chen could only give up and return to his original spot to sit down, but his mind was still active.

The stone statue in front of him must have been an Emperor’s throne realm expert when he was alive, but why had he turned into a stone statue?

How did he end up in the forbidden Sea? Could it be that the other party was the same as him, suppressed here?

The world passed by little by little, and it was extremely quiet in the ruined temple. No matter if it was Qing Shan and the others or the many beasts gathered on the other side, they all maintained a delicate situation, and no one made a move.

When dawn broke and the first ray of sunlight shone on the ruined temple, the darkness that blocked the outside of the temple dispersed.

The beasts retreated.

Qing Shan and the others cheered as they walked out of the ruined temple to get water, but they seemed to be used to this.

Ye chen followed behind them. As soon as he left the ruined temple, he saw that the grass outside was filled with all kinds of bones.

It seemed to have been left behind last night. From time to time, a Vulture would land and take a piece with its wings.

Ye chen walked side by side with Qing Shan and probed,””Did last night’s situation happen often?”

“Yes, brother ye!”

Qing Shan nodded and said with a serious expression,””As long as it’s night time, no one is allowed to go out. They must stay at home. This has been an ancestral teaching of our village since ancient times ...”

At this point, he couldn’t help but remind,””Brother ye, you saw the danger last night. The elders said that there was a terrifying existence in the dark that could eat people ...”

“Then how did your village protect itself in the dark?” Ye chen asked again.

“It’s because the stone statues in the broken temple are also in our village, and there are quite a few of them. Every time after dark, these stone statues are the ones protecting us ...” Qing Shan said with a smile.

Ye chen nodded to himself. The doubts in his heart were immediately resolved. He said,”Do you know the origin of these stone statues?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Qing Shan scratched his head and said in confusion,”These stone statues have existed for a long time. They can be traced back to the time before our village was established ...”

Ye chen could not help but be disappointed.

“That’s right!”

Qing Shan seemed to have thought of something and added,””I seem to have heard the elders say that these stone statues are our ancestors.”

“Ancestor?”

When ye chen heard this, he could not help but look at him and thought to himself,””So, this kid is the descendant of an Emperor’s throne realm expert?”

This world could devour the true energy and true Qi of cultivators, so martial artists and cultivators could not live at all. They could only rely on brute force to survive. Logically speaking, there should not be any Emperor’s throne realm martial artists.

The only explanation was that these Emperor’s throne realm experts were also from the outside.

After connecting it to his own experience, he could not help but make a bold guess.”It looks like these Emperor’s throne realm experts were also suppressed here by the immortal’s Hall ...”

As for how long, he didn’t know.

The only thing that was clear was that even an Emperor’s throne realm expert would be reduced to a cripple and could only survive with brute force.

“It seems like this immortal’s Hall isn’t as simple as it seems ...”

“From the way that person sent me into the forbidden Sea, he must be at the late-stage soul formation realm or even higher ...” Ye chen narrowed his eyes.

Higher?

That would be the void training stage!

With this in mind, even with ye Chen’s temperament, he could not help but feel nervous. There were actually void training cultivators in the ancient barren world, which was parallel to earth.

Anyone would be surprised.

Of course, this was just his guess. As for whether it was true or not, he still didn’t know.

“The current plan is to understand the forbidden Sea first. Then, we will find a way to find out Wushuang’s whereabouts. Then, we will leave this place with him.”

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but stop his gaze on Qing Shan,””Perhaps the elder he mentioned might know something ...”

At this moment, several figures flew over from the distance. The leader was a middle-aged man with strong arms and wearing animal skin.”Qingshan, are you all alright?”

“Father!”

When he saw the person, Qing Shan was overjoyed. He led a few people to welcome him and said excitedly,””Father, we’re all fine. Why are you here?”
