Chapter 480: Chapter 479: The Road of No Return

```

Deep in the dense forest, dangers indeed abound; even if they managed to deal with the existence like the Ghost Granny, there were still more powerful beings lurking.

"That sword gives off a strong negative aura." Liu Chuixue transformed into human form, nestled beside Lin Hao, looking toward the direction of the dense forest and showed a faint smile.

She seemed unafraid now, entirely unlike when she was panicking in the Giant Cauldron’s pot, as if under Lin Hao’s lead, she too had undergone a transformation.

"Sword? What sword?"

Mo Changfeng was completely baffled; although his cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Sky-breaking Realm, he also couldn’t discern what had just happened and was utterly shocked by Liu Chuixue’s words.

"An Ancient Sword."

Lin Hao said indifferently while looking at the dense forest.

"Ancient Sword? How come we didn’t see it?"

"Unexpectedly, even having reached the Sky-breaking Realm, we still can’t clearly see that Ancient Sword. Could it be that our opponent wields a power even greater than the Sky-breaking Realm?"

The four comical figures broke out in a cold sweat, as if only now remembering how many experts of the Sky-breaking Realm had died in the dense forest, and that their forcefully elevated cultivations to the Sky-breaking Realm were negligible.

"It seems we’ve been too overconfident."

"Jumping from the Returning to Truth to the Sky-breaking Realm, who wouldn’t be a little conceited?"

"It seems we can’t be conceited after all; humility is necessary!"

"There’s always a higher mountain!"

At that moment, the four no longer possessed their previous spirited demeanor and immediately hid behind Lin Hao.

"That sword is very strange, I have a feeling of déjà vu."

At that time, Ziyue came forward, among all the people present, she was one who could see the Ancient Sword clearly.

A feeling of déjà vu?

Ziyue had been suppressed and sealed beneath the Death Sea for over ten thousand years, and had never left the Death Sea. The fact that she felt a sense of familiarity suggested only one possibility.

"Are you suggesting, a Guardian?"

Lin Hao frowned slightly; if there was something he least hoped to encounter on Resurrection Island right now, it was the Guardian, appointed by the Supreme Immortal Emperor to guard the Atlantis clan on Earth’s Resurrection Island!

Lords of the Major Churches, Lin Hao didn’t care about, but this Guardian was definitely not simple; selected by the Supreme Immortal Emperor, they were no ordinary individual.

If it really was the Guardian, then now, Lin Hao could be said to be facing the truly strongest person on Earth.

"Nobody act rashly."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hao looked deeper into the dense forest; regardless, he had to go and see.

"Yes!"

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, even Mo Changfeng had become very serious at that moment, who, observing proper decorum responded to Lin Hao, then stood behind him.

Moving forward, continuous rain, the forest floor mixed with mud and decaying leaves and branches, a fetid smell began to spread in the air.

Following that, waves of blood stench, and increasingly intense oppressive force.

```

"So many corpses!"

Suddenly, headless corpses began appearing one after another in the muddy waters of the forest. Each corpse had its head swiftly severed by a sharp weapon, falling towards the direction outside the dense forest. Their heads rolled in the mud not far from their bodies, eyes wide open as if they didn’t understand what had happened even in death.

"Such a fast blade, their heads were chopped off and yet they were still alive, their eyes wide open in death showing deep-seated fear. Moreover, these cuts - so neat and smooth. In all the world, except for my Dragon Slayer Technique, I’ve never seen such a swift blade!"

Mo Changfeng examined several corpses in succession, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"It seems like they were all trying to escape from the forest, but they all died here."

Ziyue’s gaze followed from her feet and extended deep into the forest ahead. Along this path, there were at least a thousand corpses, both Eastern and Western, all maintaining a posture of frantic sprinting with their heads severed.

"I know this person, he seems to be from Dragon Needle!" Suddenly, Dong Bubai, not far away, held up a head and shouted, looking up in shock at everyone.

People from Dragon Needle were also dead?

Lin Hao was startled and subconsciously looked towards the head in Dong Bubai’s hands, his eyes lighting up in horror: "It’s him!"

That was a young man, whom Lin Hao had met once before. Back then, during a brutal slaughter at the Ye Family, it was this young man, together with Li Yuan, who stepped forward to stop him.

At that time, the young man’s cultivation was already high, considered a prodigy among prodigies in Huaxia, personally nurtured by Long Si.

Such a person, after five years of cultivation under an organization like Dragon Needle, should have at least reached the Returning Void level.

Yet even such a person ended up dead here, beheaded and unable to rest in peace, it’s hard to imagine what they went through before.

But no matter what they experienced, the truth must lie ahead, within the forest.

Lin Hao took a deep breath, suddenly reaching out with his hand shaped like a claw towards the muddy ground in front of him, unleashing his Primordial Power. An invisible giant hand seemed to extend from the void, instantly scooping out a huge pit in the ground.

"Bury him, he and I, we did have a brief connection." Lin Hao gently closed his eyes in a moment of silence.

Then, the group moved on.

Ahead, under the dim sky, the forest seemed even darker, like a huge beast lying in wait, its gaping maw ready to swallow them whole.

The foul wind howled, blowing out from that dark void, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

Almost every step, there was a corpse on the ground, the fresh blood mingling with the mud to form a dark red stream flowing into the unknown.

Finally, the group reached the entrance of the forest path.

On both sides, the dense forest was impassable, only here the trees were slightly less dense, having a passable pathway about fifty meters wide.

"There’s a stone tablet here!" Suddenly, Mo Changfeng shouted towards a large tree at a distance and instantly rushed over, peeked at it, then turned back to Lin Hao and said, "But I can’t read the characters on it..."

"The Road of No Return, this is the script of the Eternal Life Realm, it’s normal for you not to recognize it," Liu Chuixue, whose eyesight was extraordinarily sharp, didn’t even need to get closer to see it.

"The Road of No Return?"

A very peculiar name, Lin Hao glanced at the corpses on the ground; all the corpses seemed to have escaped through this path, then died here.

This, it seemed to explained something.

"There wasn’t such a place back in the days," Liu Chuixue looked around, "I have never been here before, but this definitely did not exist in the past, it was constructed by someone after landing on Earth, and this tablet was carved by the later generations."

"Could it be another Giant Cauldron or something?" Mo Changfeng now suffering from a Divine Cauldron trauma syndrome, immediately looked towards Lin Hao upon hearing that this was yet another site that hadn’t existed before.
