This system had not spoken since the very beginning.
The sudden reappearance of the system's voice filled Jiang Chen with a sudden sense of emotion, as if the system had not abandoned him after all.
Although every previous tribulation had brought rewards, a system without a voice felt as if it had lost its soul.
Now that the system had given him a prompt, Jiang Chen's confidence surged.
Heaven's secrets had been sealed; he needed to raise his strength as quickly as possible… Looking toward the direction the giant snake had gone, Jiang Chen knew exactly what he had to do.
Inside this Mysterious Grand Canyon there was only one human—himself. With the gods unable to observe this place, he could slaughter every living creature here without fear.
Thinking of those dozen or so giant wolves and that Title Douluo-level giant snake, Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement.
He had only just entered and already encountered creatures of this level. This place was clearly an enormous treasure trove for him.
Jiang Chen felt as though he had swallowed a calming pill. The system seemed to understand his predicament and had therefore given him this chance to raise his strength.
His earlier conjecture had been correct: it really was the system that had blocked the divine realm's perception.
In Jiang Chen's heart, his evaluation of the system had already risen to a terrifying height.
Even the divine realm could be sealed with a single word. The gods of the divine realm no longer seemed so frightening.
Without further hesitation, he transformed into a silent bolt of lightning and shot toward that mountain peak.
Half an hour later, only the skin and bones of the hundred-meter-long giant snake remained; all of its flesh, blood, and essence had been absorbed by Jiang Chen.
The more than ten giant wolves that the snake had swallowed had not yet been digested and likewise became nourishment for Jiang Chen's body.
Jiang Chen did not turn the giant snake into a corpse puppet.
With two hundred-thousand-year-level corpse puppets already, he could no longer look twice at a creature that only possessed ordinary Title Douluo strength.
Life essence rolled through his body; Jiang Chen could feel his physical body steadily improving.
He gazed into the depths of the Mysterious Grand Canyon, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
If there were many Title Douluo-level creatures inside, his zombie cultivation would undergo a leap in advancement.
Originally the speed of zombie cultivation lagged far behind that of Spirit Master cultivation.
But here, the speed of improvement might even surpass Spirit Master cultivation.
After all, absorbing large quantities of blood essence from living creatures was a domineering and direct shortcut.
...
Half a month later, he had finally swept through the entire outer region of this dangerous area.
A total of twenty Title Douluo-level creatures had died at his hands. Adding the previously absorbed Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, his zombie cultivation had already surpassed his Spirit Master cultivation and was rapidly advancing toward the ninth rank.
It was a pity that the strength of these twenty creatures was all somewhat inferior to the Titan Giant Ape; otherwise he would have stored them inside the sixth spirit ring space.
Twenty Title Douluo-level fierce beasts, the Mysterious Grand Canyon actually hid such an astonishing secret.
A secret that had never been known to anyone.
If these fierce beasts were to escape, absolute chaos would descend upon the world.
After all, the Spirit Empire currently only had a little more than twenty Title Douluo.
What puzzled Jiang Chen somewhat was that deeper inside the Mysterious Grand Canyon there seemed to be an invisible barrier preventing these vicious creatures from appearing outside.
His curiosity about the secrets hidden within the Mysterious Grand Canyon grew stronger and stronger.
For example, these fierce beasts were clearly not native to the Douluo Continent. Where exactly had they come from?
And was that barrier artificially set, or had it formed naturally?
Furthermore, he had seen quite a few human remains here, remains that seemed extremely ancient.
From the remnants of their clothing, they differed greatly from the styles currently popular on the Douluo Continent.
And then there was the city that loomed faintly in the mist not far ahead.
Were there still humans living inside?
Jiang Chen felt that all of his questions should find their answers within that city.
Jiang Chen looked up at the sky. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment pierced through the thick fog and saw the blazing sun hanging high above.
Although sunlight could not penetrate, it still gave the core of the Mysterious Grand Canyon some illumination.
He walked toward the city shrouded in mist.
On the surface he appeared quite relaxed, yet inside he was already extremely vigilant.
Outside this city alone there had already been twenty Title Douluo-level fierce beasts.
Even more powerful ones might have existed inside the city.
"System, what is inside this city?" Jiang Chen asked silently in his heart.
The system gave no response. He could only helplessly give up.
Ever since that day half a month ago when the system had told him he could kill freely, he would occasionally ask a question, wanting to see whether the system would answer.
It seemed this system was simply too aloof.
Jiang Chen was completely in a passive position.
Perhaps the system felt he was too trash and disdained to acknowledge him.
Passing through the mist, the outline of the city grew clearer and clearer. The moment Jiang Chen clearly saw the appearance of the city, a trace of surprise rose in his heart.
The buildings inside this city were generally taller than those currently found on the Douluo Continent.
Jiang Chen's steps did not stop as he trod upon the dark-red earth.
Around the city stretched a wide open plain; as far as the eye could see, human remains covered the ground.
There were also some bones of fierce beasts mixed among them.
Jiang Chen could easily judge that a tragic great war had once taken place here.
An image involuntarily formed in his mind.
Humans had been surrounded by these fierce beasts behind those fortifications; both sides had fought a tragic battle, and large numbers of humans had died.
The number of fierce beasts that died, compared to the humans, was pitifully small.
"The humans inside should all be dead," Jiang Chen sighed.
The bones remaining outside had already been severely weathered; no new bones had appeared.
And outside the city quite a few fierce beasts were still alive, so the humans inside the city should have been completely wiped out.
Jiang Chen's pace gradually quickened. The terrain outside the city was flat; there should be no danger here.
A short while later he crossed several thousand meters and appeared atop the hundred-meter-high walls.
Looking down upon the city, Jiang Chen could not help but feel a wave of emotion.
Inside the city, everything was in ruins; human bones could be seen everywhere.
A massacre had once occurred here, most likely carried out by those fierce beasts outside.
His figure flashed and he entered the city. His powerful spiritual power began probing the surroundings.
While remaining vigilant, his speed was extremely fast as he sought to uncover the secrets hidden here.
Suddenly his expression changed. His footsteps abruptly halted as he looked toward the very center of the city.
There stood a grand and majestic building that should have been the residence of the former rulers.
An extremely evil and terrifying aura was rising straight into the sky from that place.
Within that aura Jiang Chen sensed endless slaughter and evil.
Dense black qi emerged from that location and rapidly spread toward Jiang Chen.
"A living human, ah… a fresh and delicious human, ah…"
"Finally another human has come in."
Jiang Chen's expression grew solemn; his heart was extremely vigilant.
As the black qi surged toward him, he actually felt a vast pressure.
This level of pressure was something he had once felt from Qian Daoliu.
That meant the unknown creature speaking possessed at least Peerless Douluo-level strength.
Moreover it possessed intelligence and could speak human language; it was no longer comparable to the creatures he had killed before.
His Eye of Heavenly Punishment shot into the ink-like dense fog and finally clearly saw the appearance of the mysterious creature inside.
Its body was as large as an ox, its form resembled a tiger, two sharp horns crowned its head, its entire body was covered in hedgehog-like fur, and a pair of sharp-edged black wings grew from its back.
