The Land of the Earth

Chapter 120 Looking for Relics

Shrouded in darkness, the fate of the Mortal Continent is like a candle in the wind, crumbling. And the battle between justice and evil is about to begin.

Can Song Chaoming, the Sword Immortal, and the people of the Mortal Continent sense the danger and rise up in resistance? Will the Dark King and the Demon King succeed in their plot? All of this remains unknown.

In the Dark Palace, the Dark King and the Demon King continued to plot their ambitions.

The Dark King stretched out his huge claws and swiped them in the darkness, as if drawing a map of the future.

"The Mortal Continent is just our first step. Once we conquer this place, the other continents will fall one after another. We will become the masters of this world, and all creatures will submit to us."

The Demon King's eyes flashed with fanaticism as he imagined himself standing at the top of the world. "Then we will possess endless wealth and power, and the entire world will operate according to our will. Those who have ever rebelled against us will pay a heavy price."

"However, we cannot ignore those forces hidden in the shadows," the Dark King pondered. "In the Mortal Continent, besides the human kingdoms, there are also some mysterious organizations and powerful individuals. They may become an obstacle for us."

"Hmph, how powerful can those mysterious organizations be?" The Demon King said disdainfully, "If they dare to oppose us, we will completely destroy them."

"Don't underestimate them," the Dark King warned. "Some mysterious organizations have a long history and possess powers and methods unknown to us. We need to investigate thoroughly before deciding how to respond."

"Okay, then we'll send someone to investigate first," the Demon King said impatiently. "I hope they won't ruin our plans."

The Dark King began to assign tasks: "You go contact those dark creatures and urge them to search for relics and investigate the mysterious organization.

I will continue my retreat here, striving to break through to the Cloud Realm as soon as possible. Once I succeed, it will be time for us to take action."

"Alright, just rest assured and retreat," the demon king said, then he transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the dark palace. He shuttled through the darkness and flew towards the gathering place of those dark creatures.

In a gloomy valley, a large number of dark creatures gathered, including winged demons, slimes covered in slime, and all kinds of strange monsters.

The appearance of the Demon King made them kneel down and look at him in awe.

"Listen up," the Demon King shouted, "The Dark King has ordered that you find the ancient ruins on the Mortal Continent as soon as possible and investigate those mysterious organizations.

Anyone who achieves great success will inevitably benefit from you. If you dare to be lazy, well, you know the consequences."

The demons flapped their wings and responded in unison: "Yes, Lord Demon King."

The slimes also made a "gurgling" sound to indicate that they obeyed the order.

The demon king nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let's set off now."

The dark creatures took action, dispersing in all directions across the Mortal Continent. Wherever they went, the dark aura grew thicker, bringing even more panic to the continent.

In the towns of the mortal race, people began to notice something strange. Strange noises were heard on the streets at night, livestock mysteriously disappeared, and some timid people even claimed to have seen terrifying black shadows.

Panic spread among the people, and they turned to the kingdom's army for help.

Song Chaoming frowned upon learning of this. He summoned his ministers and generals to discuss countermeasures. "Many strange phenomena have occurred in the towns recently. What are your thoughts?"

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe this may be the work of some evil force. We should increase patrols to protect the safety of the people."

Another general nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we can send elite troops to search those areas where abnormalities have occurred."

Song Chaoming pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, let's do as you say. At the same time, notify the academies and practitioners in various places and ask them to assist us in the investigation. We can't let the people live in fear."

The Sword Immortal also felt the intensification of this dark aura in the mountains. He ended his retreat, walked out of the cave, and looked at the town in the distance, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"It looks like big trouble is coming. I have to go and take a look." He turned into a sword light and flew towards the town.

When the Sword Immortal arrived in the town, he saw panic and anxiety on people's faces.

He found the local army commander and asked about the situation. The commander told the sword immortal about the strange things that had happened recently.

The Sword Immortal frowned and said, "These phenomena are very unusual. There must be dark forces operating in secret. You guys continue patrolling, and I will track down the source of these dark auras."

After saying that, the sword immortal relied on his keen perception to begin tracking the dark aura.

He passed through forests and crossed valleys, encountering many creatures affected by dark forces along the way.

He swung his sword and repelled the dark creatures, but he knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg and the real enemy was still in the dark.

Under the crazy actions of the dark creatures, the Mortal Continent fell into chaos.

The conspiracy of the Dark King and the Demon King is like a huge black net, enveloping the entire continent. The battle between good and evil is about to break out on this land.

The Dark King was practicing in seclusion in the Dark Palace, and the dark forces around him gathered towards him like a vortex.

A strange light flickered around his body, a sign that he had broken through. He closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and guided the dark power to attack his limits.

"Hmph, I will be able to break through to the Cloud Realm soon. By then, the entire Mortal Continent will be under my control." The Dark King was secretly proud of himself.

While commanding the dark creatures to act, the Demon King did not forget to improve his own strength.

The Demon King came to a cursed ancient tomb, which seemed like a dark corner forgotten by time.

The entrance to the ancient tomb was half-hidden by a huge black rock, covered with mosses emitting a faint glow. The mosses were like pairs of prying eyes, staring coldly at the intruders.

The air around the entrance was so cold that it seemed to freeze one's soul, and every breath formed a light white mist in the air.

As you step into the ancient tomb, a pungent smell of decay hits you in the face, it is the smell of death and time intertwined.

The walls are covered with ancient runes, which flash with strange light, as if telling the curses and secrets of the past.

In some places, there are still some blurry murals left, depicting some strange creatures and mysterious sacrificial scenes. The colors are dim, but still reveal a creepy atmosphere.

The passage of the ancient tomb is winding and deep, the ground is rugged and uneven, and is covered with large and small stones and skulls.

Some skeletons had faint phosphorescent lights flickering in their eye sockets, which flickered with the flow of air, like will-o'-the-wisp leading the way.

From time to time, water dripped from the cracks in the rocks above the head. The dripping sound was particularly clear in the silent ancient tomb, like a countdown to death.

As you move forward along the passage, you will encounter various traps. In some places, there are hidden spikes on the ground, reflecting a cold light in the dim light.

In some places, huge stone spikes suddenly pop out from the walls on both sides, with dried blood stains on them, as if telling the tragic fate of the intruders.

There are also some places filled with poisonous fog. The fog is colorful, beautiful but deadly, like the temptation of the devil.

Deep within the ancient tomb lies a huge burial chamber. In the center of the chamber lies an ancient sarcophagus, surrounded by a circle of black flames.

The flames burned without any temperature, instead emitting a chill that absorbed the surrounding heat.

The dome of the tomb is extremely high, and is inlaid with some glowing gems. The light of these gems intertwines together to form a complex magic circle, which seems to be sealing some powerful power.

The skull artifact emitting a faint glow was placed on top of the sarcophagus. It was like the core of the entire ancient tomb, emitting a terrifying and irresistible power, waiting for the demon king to awaken its power.

"It is said that there is a magical artifact here that can absorb the power of the soul. It is perfect for me." The Demon King shuttled through the ancient tomb, avoiding various mechanisms and traps.

Finally, he found the artifact in the deepest part of the ancient tomb. It was a skull emitting a faint glow, and the skull was engraved with mysterious runes.

The demon king picked up the skull excitedly: "Hahaha, with this, my strength will be taken to the next level."

He began to cast a spell, absorbing the power in the skull into his own body.

With the influx of power, the demon king's body began to change, his aura became stronger, and the light in his eyes became brighter.

"Now, even if the Sword Immortal comes in person, I have the strength to fight." The Demon King said confidently.
