Chapter 380: Chapter 371: The Statue Comparable to the Emperor Realm

The light within the passage was dim, making it difficult for the naked eye to discern much of anything.

However, for Mo Wangchen and Wu Lingfeng, both at the Nirvana Realm in cultivation, moving in such pitch-dark surroundings wasn’t too much of a problem.

"There’s a sense of oppression!"

They walked slowly, and about half an hour later, they finally arrived beneath the ground.

Looking around, the space underground was extremely vast, the surrounding rock walls glowing, allowing Mo Wangchen and Wu Lingfeng to see clearly what was inside.

The moment they stepped underground, they both felt an inexplicable oppressive sensation coming over them, but it was not very strong.

"What is that?"

Ahead, there was something large. The two, puzzled, drew closer. In the vast underground, in the center, lay a huge stone statue, as if a person lying on the ground.

"A humanoid stone statue?" Upon seeing the statue clearly, Wu Lingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Such a statue, if it stood up, would be as big as a mountain. Why would it appear here underground?"

Mo Wangchen was also puzzled, "Let’s see if there is anything else."

"Ah?"

Suddenly, Wu Lingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "There’s a Dao Pattern here!"

"This Dao Pattern naturally formed, similar to the ones outside. Why would it appear here?" Mo Wangchen was also surprised. The Dao Pattern was located at the head of the statue.

This sort of thing could only be comprehended by an Emperor Realm Great Power.

"This Dao Pattern is clearly derived from the statue..."

"Could it be that this humanoid stone statue has cultivation at the Emperor Realm?"

The two were astonished. This was too outrageous. It was just a stone statue; how could it possibly cultivate, let alone possess cultivation at the Emperor Realm.

"Although this Dao Pattern is complex, it is similar to the one derived from the bones of Emperor Changsheng outside; it should also be a legacy of the Longevity Scripture!" Mo Wangchen observed the patterns carefully and said.

"Should we let the brothers come in and comprehend these Dao Patterns, too?" Wu Lingfeng asked.

"The Dao Patterns are too complex; it’s hard to successfully comprehend them. We don’t even know how long it will take them to comprehend the ones outside, but after all, it’s the Longevity and Emperor Scripture’s inheritance, let them come in after they finish comprehending the outside ones," Mo Wangchen said.

Wu Lingfeng nodded, and the two continued to carefully examine the statue to see if there was anything else unusual.

Boom boom boom!

However, at that moment, the entire underground suddenly began to shake violently. The statue, which had been lying still, suddenly started to move.

Both were shocked and quickly retreated toward the exit.

"What’s going on?"

"This statue is actually moving?!" Wu Lingfeng said in astonishment.

Buzz buzz!

Meanwhile, the statue slowly sat up, its movements extremely slow, as if a giant was awakening.

"Let’s get out of here!" Mo Wangchen’s face showed shock. He felt an ominous sensation as the statue awakened; the underground was rapidly trembling, and if they did not leave quickly, they might very well be buried alive.

The two turned and fled swiftly, without any hesitation.

"What’s going on?"

When they emerged from underground, the others had already been startled awake, and the Dao patterns on the giant rock had disappeared.

Boom boom!

The ground shook again, extensively, as if the whole area of the Fallen Immortal Forest was affected.

Crack!

Suddenly, the earth split open, and the stone statue broke through the soil from underground. It stood upright like a mountain, a tremendous giant.

"What is this?"

The others were astounded, clearly still unable to react.

"Run!" Mo Wangchen felt a shock in his heart, but saw the stone statue seemed to come to life, clenching its fists, extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye, it hurled a punch at everyone.

Everyone’s faces changed with shock; they scattered to escape. The statue’s fist was as large as a hill— if hit, one might be smashed into a pulp on the spot.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the statue’s punch created a deep pit in the ground, causing a shocking vibration that made everyone’s scalp tingle.

"What kind of monster is this?" Ren Qingcheng was stunned, obviously still not fully reacting.

"It’s the Mountain Protection Divine Statue of the Escape Immortal Palace!" Yao Chuxia exclaimed, seemingly realizing something.

"Mountain Protection Divine Statue?!" The others were surprised and looked intently.

"In Ancient Times, the Escape Immortal Palace was a supreme sect. Among their mountain gate was a Mountain Protection Divine Statue, rumored to have the Divine Thought of an ancient ancestor within it, with an attack power comparable to an Emperor Realm Great Power!"

"What? Emperor Realm Great Power?" The others were taken aback.

"Just now, on the top of the statue’s head, we saw the presence of Dao patterns, clearly the same as those in the Longevity Scripture, the Emperor Scripture of the Emperor Changsheng. How could it be on the Mountain Protection Divine Statue of the Escape Immortal Palace?" Wu Lingfeng was full of confusion.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Emperor Changsheng, although he had swept through his era unmatched, did not belong to the same time as the Escape Immortal Palace; there should be no connection between them, so why did the dao pattern of the Longevity Scripture appear on the statue?

"During the Ancient Times, although this statue had the Cultivation of the Emperor Realm, it could only revive through the Divine Thought of an ancestor from the Escape Immortal Palace. Millions of years have passed, and that Divine Thought should have disappeared long ago..."

Yao Chuxia furrowed her brow, her eyes filled with confusion, "You saw the Longevity Scripture’s Dao Patterns on the head of the statue, there’s only one possibility, the Divine Thought of the ancestor from the Escape Immortal Palace had already disappeared, and Emperor Changsheng may have been to this place, perhaps he too discovered the statue, and before dying, infused a wisp of his Divine Thought into it!"

"So, you mean to say that now this statue is actually Emperor Changsheng?" The others were astonished.

Yao Chuxia nodded, "That could be the case. Emperor Changsheng was also from tens of thousands of years ago. Although powerful, his Divine Thought preserved within the statue for so many years must have also become extremely weak. Although the statue cannot exhibit the attack power of the Emperor Realm, it at least possesses the Cultivation of the Saint Venerable Realm!"

"What are we waiting for, let’s run!" Bai Jincheng, holding a long spear and having just gained an Emperor Weapon, was initially eager to try it out, but upon hearing that the statue possessed the power of the Saint Venerable Realm, had already given up any thought of confrontation.

Boom!

The statue launched another attack; the people hurriedly fled, not daring to collide with it— this statue was too terrifying, each punch it threw shattered the ground, utterly beyond human ability to contend with.

"Thirteen?!"

Just as they were about to turn and flee, Mo Wangchen leaped forth, his whole body erupting with dazzling Holy Light, seemingly set to confront the statue.

Boom!

As Mo Wangchen charged rapidly, the statue, sensing him, threw a punch to meet him head-on, like a mountain falling.

The collision was earth-shattering, with an explosive sound echoing through Changkong, deafening, causing an involuntary tingling of the scalp.

"This madman!" The others were astonished, facing this statue, they had no intention of resisting, only thoughts of escape in their minds, but Mo Wangchen was actually provoking it willingly.
