A transparent barrier suddenly appeared at the mountain gate, and a large amount of Ghost Qi swarmed out from it, instantly sweeping across the entire sect. For a moment, the temperature plummeted, and it was as cold as ice. Shrill, ear-piercing ghost cries came from within. The Ghost Qi of the Netherworld was different from ordinary ones. It was a place that only allowed souls to exist. Naturally, it had the power to absorb souls.
The cultivators who had not even cultivated immortal bodies naturally could not withstand it. Almost in an instant, apart from Shen Ying and the other two, everyone's divine souls began to become unstable. They looked confused. Some Golden Core cultivators even had signs of their souls leaving their bodies.
Lonemoon's expression darkened. He immediately flew over. With a wave of his hand, a sealing array sealed the entire mountain gate. The ghost cries stopped. Everyone's eyes gradually became clear. However, their divine souls were still unstable. The few Nascent Soul cultivators were still fine, but the other Golden Core cultivators could not stand still and started to vomit blood.
"Se … Senior?" Lu Lin managed to stabilize her primordial spirit. She looked up at the people in front of her in confusion. The other cultivators also looked confused. "What was that just now?"
Lonemoon's expression darkened. He scanned the crowd and said, "This is not something you can handle. Leave this place!" With that said, he conjured a seal with one hand. Instantly, everyone's jade token floated up. He tightened his grip and everyone's jade token was crushed. In the next moment, he activated the large-scale transportation array outside the Corroding Vacant Valley.
"Se …" Before Lu Lin could even speak, all the Dawning Pill Sect cultivators had already been teleported out, instantly clearing the area.
Yi Qing flew over with Shen Ying in his arms. He looked up at the mountain gate that was already emitting dense Ghost Qi. He frowned and said, "This is … a realm gate!"
"Mm." Lonemoon nodded. Naturally, he also saw the problem. "This should be the realm gate to the Underworld." And it looked like it had been here for a long time.
"The human world has its own original source to guide souls. Why did they purposely open a gate to the Underworld?" If it was the immortal and divine worlds, it could be said that there was a problem. But the living beings in the human world could not withstand the Ghost Qi of the Underworld. Moreover, after they died, they would naturally enter the Underworld. What was the point of opening a gate here? And they purposely used the Spatial Separation to hide it.
"It looks like we'll only know the answer to this question after we enter the Underworld." Lonemoon pointed at the mountain gate in front of them.
Without hesitation, Yi Qing set up a defensive array around them before walking towards the realm gate. In the next moment, they arrived in another world. The darkness around them was even thicker, as if it had materialized and slid past them. It brought with it a bone-chilling sensation, and it was getting thicker and thicker, giving them the illusion that something was seeping into their bodies.
Wait a minute! It wasn't an illusion. There really was something bone-chilling that was drilling into their bodies.
"Chef!" Lonemoon reminded them loudly. The two of them flew on their swords at the same time, wanting to rush out, but that feeling was like a shadow following them. This darkness seemed endless, and no matter what they did, they could not get rid of it. Moreover, the Divine Power in their bodies seemed to be scattered by that bone-piercing cold.
"Up," Shen Ying suddenly said.
The two of them paused and immediately changed their direction, heading straight up. As they went higher and higher, the darkness around them did indeed lighten a little. The horizon faintly revealed some green, and the bone-chilling cold around them also faded.
The few of them looked down and realized that the whole area below them was occupied by a boundless watery area, but it was pitch-black all over, and it was spreading to every corner. And the place they just came out from was right in the center of that darkness.
Thick black covered the whole Underworld, and they could faintly feel that it was spreading to every small world, just like …
"The plane's original source!" Lonemoon finally understood what this black was, and subconsciously exclaimed. Then, he paused. That's not right. "Why is it black?" They had seen the plane tree before. It was clearly a big green tree. By right, the color of the original source should be the same as the plane tree. Just like how Chef's side was gold, and his side was purple, this plane should also be green.
Unless …
"Someone changed the original source!" Yi Qing said directly.
Lonemoon's heart sank. He instantly remembered the plane tree that was about to be taken over by black, and the realm gate and the so-called 'Fallen Night' just now. Instantly, he understood what was going on. The invaders had taken over and changed the Netherworld's Planar Origin from the very beginning. Then, through the Realm Gate, the altered Planar Origin's power flowed through every small world in advance. Step by step, they devoured the entire plane until it completely collapsed.
It was no wonder that Chao Kun suddenly became so weak. This was practically like a slow-acting virus invading, changing bit by bit from the original source.
What was more troublesome was that the original source was already like this, and they had no idea how to make it recover at all.
"You are the reinforcements that Chao Kun invited?" Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded behind them.
Lonemoon was shocked, and immediately took a few steps back, putting some distance between them. Only then did he see that a person suddenly appeared behind him, her whole body surrounded by layers of black original source Qi, with a cold and gloomy aura. From the figure, he could tell that it was a woman. More importantly, her body also had the aura of a manager, just that it was not very strong.
"You are the person who invaded this plane?" Lonemoon's heart sank. Not daring to let his guard down, he directly summoned his long sword.
"Invasion?" The woman suddenly began to laugh maniacally, looking at the few of them even more fiercely. "Is that what Chao Kun told you? Hmph, to me, you are the real invaders? "
Suddenly, she waved her hand, and the originally calm original source below began to surge, instantly turning into numerous streams of water that directly attacked them, as if thousands of invisible giant hands were attacking them.
Lonemoon released his divine perception, and as he dodged the attacks around him, he waved his sword, intending to counterattack. Suddenly, his body froze, the God Power that was originally circulating freely seemed to be suppressed, unable to circulate. No! Not just their God Power, even their power as managers seemed to be suppressed by something.
It was the thing that had seeped into their bodies just now. Suddenly, they remembered that when they first entered the Underworld, the aura that followed them like a shadow, seemed to be the black original source Qi below, that aura seemed to be suppressing their power.
"You invaders, all of you deserve to die!" The woman's voice was cold, and a huge aura exploded from her body, the original source below churned even more violently, directly forming a huge wave, looking like it was about to drown the few of them.
Lonemoon gripped the sword in his hand tightly, turned back and reminded, "The original source here can suppress our power, Chef, use your sword Qi!"
"Mm." Yi Qing nodded, directly releasing a sky full of sword Qi, countless sword lights appeared, forming an airtight net, just as the huge wave was about to be blocked.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of them, a familiar figure cut through the void, appearing in front of the huge wave. With a backhand, he conjured a dharma spell that they had never seen before, suddenly, green light shone, directly dispersing the huge black wave.
"Chao Kun?" Lonemoon hesitated, the person who came was Manager Chao Kun, who had fainted under the plane tree previously.
Quite timely!
