The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 51 Battle Realm Name

Li Hao walked along the wet gravel path for several miles and came to another deep pool of waterfall.

"Strange, I just seemed to hear the sound of a flute."

Li Hao looked around, was it an illusion?

The waterfall in front is like a curtain, but there seems to be a small temple in the gap between the water flows.

Li Hao was slightly surprised. His figure flashed and he displayed the highest level of Bai Feng Xing body skills. He flew through the water curtain like a bird flying through the forest, and his body was not wet at all.

He spent two of the three skill points he had reserved on body movement, allowing him to easily comprehend this top-grade martial art.

When Li Hao entered the water curtain, in the distance of the waterfall, on another moss-covered stone platform, two slender figures stood.

"Hey, Yueyao, was there anyone walking over there just now?" Lin Feifei asked in surprise, pointing to the waterfall over there.

"Seems to be."

Song Yueyao also noticed it, but the figure disappeared in a flash and seemed to be wearing the uniform of an outer palace.

"It seems that I am not seeing things. What are the outer palace disciples doing here? It's not the freshman year exam yet, right?"

Lin Feifei asked in confusion: "He seems to have entered the Fangzhu Temple. Could he be heading into the Dead River?"

Song Yueyao withdrew her gaze and shook her head slightly. She had no interest in such matters outside of her body. She picked up the flute in her hand and blew it softly again.

……

Behind the waterfall, Li Hao looked at the temple in front of him.

It's very small, about half a person's height.

But the shape is very delicate. There are two statues inside, one male and one female. It seems that they are too old, so their faces are a little blurry. If you look closely, you can see their original appearance, which should be quite kind and gentle.

But because of the mottled and falling dirt and the rotting face, the half-lipped smile looked a little weird and hideous.

On both sides of the temple, there is a vertical couplet:
The earth can give birth to all things.
The soil can bury all living things.

There is also a horizontal banner on it: The Lord of One Side.

When Li Hao was looking at the temple, suddenly a booklet flew out of the temple and opened in front of Li Hao.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of paper flew out from inside and shot towards Li Hao's head as fast as divine light.

Li Hao was startled and wanted to dodge, but with his cultivation level of the Fifteen Mile Realm, he could not react in time and was engulfed by the divine light.

In an instant, the surrounding world seemed to be submerged in the water light, and then faded with the water light, revealing another world that seemed real and illusory.

The dim cave became blurry, as if there was a barrier-like water light covering him within three feet.

At the same time, a series of illusory golden characters appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes:

You have entered the dead river

[Your registered residence has been confirmed: Dayu Dynasty, Qingzhou]

Please leave your name in the dead river.

Li Hao was stunned. Did he enter the River of the Dead?

He looked around and saw a barrier like a flowing water film. The light outside the barrier was dim, and he could vaguely see some broken mountains. It was extremely empty and was definitely not the narrow cave he had just seen.

Is this the mysterious and dangerous place in the legend?
It’s so magical!

Although I knew some things about the Dead River, I still couldn't help but feel amazed when I experienced this scene in person. This is beyond the scope of ordinary martial arts.

I just don’t know what level the Dead River in front of me belongs to?

Li Hao had heard Second Master talk about it when he was fishing. There are five kinds of dead rivers. Among them, there is the Youdu-level dead river. Even Second Master and Feng Lao dare not step into it easily because it contains great terror.

At this time, the golden light that had previously penetrated into Li Hao's forehead gathered in his hand and formed a piece of golden paper.

The paper is blank.

At the same time, pieces of information flooded into his mind. Li Hao understood, thought about it, bit his finger, and left his name on the gold paper:

two.

As he finished writing, golden light burst out on the paper, covering and submerging the bloody name, and then turned into golden light and disappeared into Li Hao's body.

At the same time, the surrounding water film barrier gradually faded away, revealing the broken mountains and desolate land outside.

In his mind, a message automatically emerged:
Boundary: Fengshan and Muhe.

Dead River completion: 0%.

Li Hao looked up and saw the red sky and the blood-red setting sun, half of which was submerged in the other side of the earth.

In front of me is a desolate mountain with villages and smoke rising from cooking fires.

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he released his soul to investigate first.

He saw a soul image that looked exactly like his original body flying out from above his head. It suddenly shook and flew over the village like a god, overlooking the entire mountain in front of it. At the same time, the soul's sight quickly rose and looked further away, wanting to see the entire Dead River battlefield clearly.

But as he looked far away, Li Hao saw that the end of the Dead River was surrounded by darkness. When his soul's vision penetrated into it, he felt a chill, as if there was something in the darkness that could not be disturbed!

Li Hao quickly withdrew his spiritual perception and limited the range to the mountain village and its surroundings.

In the village, young and old are walking, men are farming and women are weaving, it looks very harmonious.

...assuming you can ignore their faces.

Everyone has a withered and dry face. The old people are like mummies, the children's pupils are like black holes, and their tongues hang to their chests. The woman is weaving cloth by the window, her nails are like knives, her teeth are sharp, and she has a creepy smile.

What a paradise on earth... Li Hao sighed.

Having seen the ferocious appearances of various fish monsters, he did not find the dead in the river so scary.

"Do I need to get rid of them all before I can complete the task?" Li Hao looked thoughtful. He thought about quitting, but he had to enter the corresponding temple in the Dead River first.

Through the patrol of his soul, he has found the location of the temple, which is in the center of the village, placed on a place like a stage.

This position is despicable enough...

"That man seems to be the boss here. In the Soul Realm, can the dead still have their own soul appearance?"

Li Hao's gaze fell on the mountain behind the village, where a black-robed scholar was sitting, with a female ghost with black smoke rising from his back, which gave him a rather eerie feeling.

After investigating the situation, Li Hao did not stay for long. After his soul returned to his body, he strode towards the village.

Soon, the villagers wandering at the entrance of the village saw Li Hao.

"Hello, hello..." Li Hao raised his hand and greeted with a smile.

The old man who was originally holding the child suddenly roared and rushed towards Li Hao ferociously.

The child who originally had a "naive and silly" look on his face turned violent, showing his sharp teeth, and rushed towards Li Hao.

"So enthusiastic." Li Hao was helpless.

He casually broke off a dead branch and flicked it lightly.

Snow was falling all over the sky. The old man and the child who were rushing over suddenly became stiff and their heads were broken before they could even get within two feet of Li Hao. The wound was extremely sharp and smooth.

Afterwards, Li Hao picked up the dead branch and walked into the village along the ancient road.

The villagers who were planting rice in the fields along the way suddenly became violent after noticing Li Hao, and rushed over with roars.

Some farmers wearing straw hats and carrying grain also rushed over with their shoulder poles.

"Do you also dream of conquering the sea?"

Li Hao did not stop, and waved the dry branches casually, and snowflakes seemed to fall. The snowflakes fell on the villagers, like some kind of seal, causing their bodies to suddenly freeze.

When Li Hao went deeper into the village, more and more villagers came, including village women carrying pots and bowls, long-tongued women weaving, and so on.

"They are all in the Zhoutian realm. Tsk, there are even a few who have reached the Zhoutian Perfection."

Li Hao casually threw away the dead branches and walked along the wide road, leaving behind a field of broken corpses.

These dead seem to be ghosts, and logically they have no entity, but in this river of the dead, they have bodies, flesh and blood, and black blood splatters when their limbs are cut off.

"Could this be the dead river that we'll be taking the test on a year from now?"

Li Hao muttered.

I feel that the intensity of this Dead River is not very high.

The only biggest danger we see right now is the black-robed scholar in the Jihun realm behind the village.

It is indeed possible to use the Inherited Soul Realm to test the disciples of the A-College.

As the villagers fell one by one, Li Hao looked at the gold paper of the Dead River in his palm, and a message appeared on it:

Dead River is 89% complete.

It seems that every time a villager is killed, about 1% of the progress can be completed.

"Given the characteristics of the Dead River, even if we kill them all, it seems that we won't be able to reach 100% progress and completely disintegrate them."

Li Hao muttered to himself.

This is the difficulty in suppressing the Dead River. It must be 100% cracked to make it disappear.

I heard that someone tried to kill all the dead in the River of the Dead and destroy everything, but still failed.

The Dead River cannot be destroyed or erased. As long as it is not cracked, it will recover and come back again, extending to any place in the world.

Li Hao passed by the temple next to the stage, took a look, but did not choose to leave.

Now that he was here, he planned to try and see how far he could go. After all, this was his first time.
