As soon as Emperor Hanqing hid in the tunnel, the Souldevouring Insects lost their target.
They tangled with each other, forming a dense purple mist that danced wildly at the entrance of the tunnel.
It took a while for it to disperse.
"It's just as Sky Sword said!"
"Looks like we can't release our consciousness here!"
"As long as we don't release our consciousness, these purple insects won't do us any harm!"
Seeing this scene, the others immediately relaxed.
Not long after, Emperor Han Qing came out of the spatial tunnel again.
However, the purple insects had completely forgotten their "target" and didn't try to attack him.
This meant that the Souldevouring Insects didn't have any intelligence and couldn't remember their target.
"Thank you for your hard work, Emperor Hanqing," Dongfang Chunjun said.
Emperor Hanqing nodded and laughed. "We're all conquering the Abyss Demon Realm together. We have to do what we can!"
"That's right! Previously, we underestimated this place. From the looks of it, if we don't work together, it will be very difficult to take down this forbidden area, "Fang ShiXing added.
Emperor Hanqing's face was full of smiles, but he was thinking about something else.
Logically speaking, the Souldevouring Insects shouldn't appear on the third level of the Abyss Demon Realm.
These strange insects usually resided at the core of the fourth level.
There was a special kind of moss on the fourth level, the Tundra of Death. When it grew, it contained powerful soul energy. It was called the Soul Moss. The Souldevouring Insects fed on the Soul Moss.
Now that a sea of Souldevouring Insects had appeared on the third level, someone must've released their consciousness to attract the insects.
The only ones in the Abyss Demon Realm who could do something like this were the demons of the Abyss.
The demons should've sensed the movements of the Saints by now.
Knowing the demons, they wouldn't allow anyone else to control the Abyss Demon Realm. They wouldn't just sit around and wait for death.
This was probably the first wave of attacks they'd planned. Or rather, a wave of "testing"!
True gods couldn't release their consciousness, so they were like mortals who'd lost their eyes.
In addition to the purple mist that covered the sky, everyone's vision was greatly obstructed.
"Don't fly too high or too fast," Dongfang Chunjun ordered. "About ten feet will do. Follow me through the purple mist."
After the others calmed down, they silently floated up.
"Huff huff huff …"
More than a hundred people quietly flew forward.
The third level of the Abyss Devil Domain was the limit that people from the God Domain could visit.
Some Sages had come here before, but they did not pass through the spatial passage that Hua Tianming had mentioned. Furthermore, they encountered a powerful attack when they stepped into the third level of the Infernal Domain, and had no choice but to retreat.
Therefore, it wasn't just the Perfected True Gods and Quasi-Sages. Even some Sages weren't confident.
The only thing that could make the Saints feel a little more at ease was that they could eventually rely on the universe to be resurrected. Even if they were unfortunate enough to die in the Abyss of Demons, as long as their universe was fine, they could eventually be resurrected. This time, following Dongfang Chunjun could be considered as "risking their lives" to accompany him.
After flying through the purple mist for more than two hours, Li Yunmu finally stopped.
Even though they had deliberately lowered their speed, they had still traveled over a hundred thousand kilometers. However, they were still unable to fly out of the purple mist.
"Brother Chun Jun, something doesn't seem right. Aren't there too many of these bugs?" Mu Haiji asked with a serious expression.
Dongfang Chunjun looked at the mist and said with a slight frown, "Something is indeed wrong."
No matter how many of these bugs there were, it was impossible for them to cover such a vast area of over a hundred thousand kilometers.
If it were any other time, they could release their Divine Consciousness and spread it to an extremely far place, and they could immediately determine their location.
However, no one could release their Divine Consciousness now, so they could only focus on running around …
"I've entered the third level of the Abyss of Demons before, but I've never seen this purple mist. Brother Chun Jun, do you think that this purple mist was deliberately set up by those Evil Demons?" Leng Yao pondered for a moment and then said.
The Saints were all extremely intelligent, so it was very easy for them to think of this.
Their journey this time could be said to be ferocious, so it was impossible for the Evil Demons to not react.
"Most likely." Dongfang Chunjun nodded. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
Although those Evil Demons were powerful, he would rather face them directly than deliberately set up a maze like this.
If the purple mist was really set up by the Evil Demons, he had to think of a way to lure them out.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Chunjun suddenly said, "Everyone has traveled for so long, let's take a break here!"
"Rest now?"
"It's too dangerous to rest in this purple mist, isn't it?"
"Don't say anymore, Great Sage Chunjun has his own plans!"
Some Great Perfection deities also muttered in their hearts.
These people were full of energy, and flying like this for a few years would not be a problem. Now that they were suddenly told to rest again, it was indeed puzzling.
However, no one dared to disobey Dongfang Chunjun's order.
Thus, everyone descended from the sky again …
Mu Xuerong, Dongfang Taiqing, Fang Henshao, and the others gathered together, their faces filled with anxiety.
This damned place was actually beyond the scope of their abilities. If they were not careful, these Great Perfection deities would be the first to die.
However, the Saints could not control the forbidden area. Although the risk here was great, there were also opportunities that they could not give up.
Next, all they could do was wait. As long as they did not release their Divine Consciousness, they would be able to coexist peacefully with the purple bug.
Two hours …
Four hours …
Twenty hours …
Everyone stood still in their original positions.
Maintaining full concentration for a long time, but it was also a boring and boring meditation. Even for this group of powerhouses, it was a kind of test.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the abyss …
In the center of the turbulent lava lake, a creature with red skin was squatting on a protruding rock.
This creature was only half the height of a human, and it had a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks, like a strange monkey.
It was also an Evil Demon, but it did not look as powerful as other Evil Demons, but it was more intelligent.
"Hiss … If they don't move, the Soul Devouring Insects will probably disperse," the Evil Demon said with a frown.
Even the Evil Demons could not command these Soul Devouring Insects.
They had spent a lot of effort to bring the Soul Devouring Insects here from the fourth level …
If the Soul Devouring Insects were unable to find "soul food" for a long time, they would disperse and return to the Soul Tundra.
