In the following period of time, the three of them did not stay here for long and flew towards the altar.
After a while, the three of them appeared in front of the altar. Ouyang Ruo appeared in front of the transportation tunnel with a flash and took out the Devil Abyss Key.
"Whoosh!" A ball of black light enveloped the three of them and disappeared into the passageway in a flash.
… …
On the ninth floor of the Devil Abyss Tower.
This was an incomparably huge and dark space. It looked like a huge underground cave. There were uneven greyish-white rock walls everywhere, and there were some crystals with purple halos on them, which were the only source of light in this place.
At this moment, somewhere in the sky, the space seemed to be torn apart by someone. A black line appeared in the middle of the space. Then, the black line split in two and a whirlpool of light about three meters wide appeared. A ball of black light flew out of it in a flash.
The moment the black light appeared, the whirlpool of light disappeared in a flash as if it had never appeared.
At the same time, the black light in the sky disappeared and the figures of Liu Ming and the other two appeared.
As soon as Zhao Qianying steadied herself, she immediately scanned her surroundings. At the same time, she closed her eyes and began to sense her surroundings with an anxious look on her face.
Liu Ming looked around and a faint purple light flashed in his eyes. In the end, he discovered that everything around him was pitch black as if it was shrouded in black Qi. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see very far.
"The two of you, look up," Ouyang Ruo suddenly said.
Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying hurriedly raised their heads and looked in the direction that Ouyang Ruo was pointing.
They saw that the ceiling of the cave was dozens of meters above the ground. There were stalactites that pointed down like sharp swords. They were of different heights and the tallest one was more than thirty meters long.
These stalactites spread forward, undulating as far as the eye could see.
On some of the stalactites, there were thick black root-like things coiled around them. They ranged from thirty meters to hundreds of meters long. They were the roots of the Giant Hamo Tree.
Black tentacles hung down from these huge roots. Almost every tentacle was connected to a corpse.
Liu Ming's expression changed. These corpses weren't Demonic Corpses.
This was because these corpses were dressed in all sorts of clothing. Judging from their appearances, they belonged to the Human Race, Demon Race, and other races. There were at least dozens of corpses in a radius of over a thousand feet around Liu Ming and the others.
These corpses looked like they had just died, and there were no signs of them turning into corpses. They just hung quietly on the ceiling of the cave.
Liu Ming's expression flickered, and he flew to the side of a humanoid corpse.
The man in front of him looked to be around 30 years old. He wore a fiery red robe and his eyes were closed as if he was asleep. However, there was no longer any vitality in his body.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and his gaze fell on the man's clothing.
The fiery red robe was simple and unadorned, somewhat similar to the clothing worn by ancient cultivators that Ti had seen before.
"Could these people be the cultivators from the various races who fought back against the Demon Abyss Tower in ancient times?" Liu Ming recalled the ancient secrets that Mo Tian had mentioned to him and had this thought.
"Liu, did you think of something? Why are there so many corpses of different races here? " At this moment, Zhao Qianying and Ouyang Ruo flew to the side of Liu Ming. Zhao Qianying knitted her brows and couldn't help but ask.
Ouyang Ruo's eyes flashed with an indescribable look of horror.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered with purple light. He looked ahead and said slowly, "I don't know either.
"I don't know either, but if we go forward, we might find the answer."
"That's the only way." Zhao Qianying sighed and nodded.
The trio continued to land on the ground and flew forward while sticking close to the ground. Because of the strange corpses above them, the trio tensed up and didn't advance quickly.
"Senior Mo Tian, what's going on with these corpses? Could they really be the cultivators from the various races who fought back against the Demon Abyss Mystic Realm? "Liu Ming used his escape light and communicated with Mo Tian through a mental transmission.
"How would I know? But … it might be related to this. "Mo Tian's voice echoed in Liu Ming's mind as he spoke noncommittally.
Liu Ming couldn't help but feel speechless. Just as he was about to say something, Mo Tian's voice echoed in his ears again.
"Don't touch those corpses, or you will be attacked by the Han Mo tentacles."
As soon as Mo Tian finished speaking, the other two's expression turned apprehensive. It was obvious that Mo Tian's words were meant for the three of them.
The trio naturally agreed and continued to fly forward silently.
For the next hour, the trio advanced for a long time, but the surrounding situation remained the same. The stalactite rocks above them were still coiled by the Han Mo tentacles, and there were corpses hanging on them.
There was a flash of horror in Liu Ming's eyes. From the start until now, there were close to 10,000 corpses of different races hanging here. The number was truly shocking.
The cave in front of them wasn't a straight path, and when the trio took a turn, their expressions instantly changed.
In the darkness of the cave in front of them, there was a slight 'chi chi' sound that seemed to be the sound of magic arts exploding.
The trio took a look at each other and immediately increased their flying speed.
The further they flew, the louder the 'chi chi' sound was. Towards the end, it was almost a deafening roar.
The trio quickly heard it clearly, and it was actually the sound of thunder rumbling.
"Could it be …" Ouyang Ming revealed an excited expression as his body suddenly released black light, and his speed instantly increased by several folds.
"Dao Friend Ouyang, be careful …" Liu Ming was about to raise his voice to warn, but Ouyang Ming suddenly stopped after flying a few hundred feet.
Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying immediately flew over, but when they got closer, they noticed that Ouyang Ming was grimacing in pain. The void in front of them was faintly blocked by an invisible magic power barrier. It was like a soft wall that was blocking Ouyang Ming outside.
As Liu Ming approached, he felt a bouncing force attack him, and he was immediately bounced to the side. After he stabilized his body, a look of contemplation flashed across his face.
He began to think about the key to entering the Demonic Abyss Tower, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The situation of entering the secret realm appeared in his mind, and his heart stirred.
He said to Ouyang Ruo, "Dao Friend Ouyang, try using the Demonic Abyss Key!"
A look of realization appeared on Ouyang Ming's face, and he quickly took out the Demonic Abyss Key. After a series of techniques, a black light enveloped the trio.
There was a soft 'pu' sound, and the black light directly pierced through the magic power barrier in front of them.
After a few breaths, Liu Ming and the others felt their bodies tremble, and they finally passed through the somewhat strange magic power barrier.
On the other hand, Ouyang Ming had used too much magic power to activate the Demonic Abyss Key, and his face was somewhat pale. However, he didn't care in the slightest, and his body flashed with black light, and he was about to fly forward.
Liu Ming sighed inwardly. He had some understanding of Ouyang Ming's thoughts.
With this thought, he called out to Zhao Qianying, and the two of them hurriedly followed. At the same time, Ouyang Ming had already flown quite a distance in his anxiety.
Liu Ming and the others continued to advance in the cave for a while, and after turning a corner, a bright light suddenly shone in front of them.
They saw that there was a vast underground space in front of them, and it was several hundred miles in size. The entire underground space was filled with tumbling black clouds, and it appeared to be a kind of glossy black, as if it was an endless amount of thick ink.
Apart from this, there was also a huge lightning barrier in the center of the space. Arcs of electricity curled around the barrier, and it emitted bursts of extremely dazzling light. There were countless huge lightning dragons coiled around the barrier, and when the dragons opened and closed their mouths, countless tiny sparks of electricity would scuttle around the barrier.
The lightning barrier in front of them was emitting a dazzling five-colored light, and every wisp of electricity was impressively the Nine Heavens' Divine Thunder.
Liu Ming could not help but hold his breath when he saw this.
Although he had seen the Nine Heavens' Divine Thunder before, he had only seen a few wisps of it at most. The barrier that was set up by the Nine Heavens' Divine Thunder in the Upper Realm's ruins only contained a little bit of it.
However, the lightning barrier in front of them was conservatively estimated to be several tens of miles in size, and there were countless thick electric arcs and electric dragons flowing on it. They were all the Nine Heavens' Divine Thunder.
He had never seen such a powerful lightning barrier before, and even though the three of them were so far away from it, they could still feel the tremendous power of thunder and lightning surging and roaring.
Liu Ming let out a long sigh, and his gaze passed through the lightning barrier. He saw a huge pitch-black vortex slowly spinning in the dark clouds behind the barrier.
From time to time, wisps of intelligent black light would emerge from the vortex, but every time that happened, a golden electric dragon would soar from the lightning barrier and crush the black light.
Liu Ming's expression changed. Although they were separated by the golden lightning barrier, he could still feel the terrifying aura that the black vortex was emitting. It was as if it led to an extremely terrifying place.
"Could it be …" His expression changed slightly, and he recalled that Mo Tian had once said that the Devil Abyss Tower was connected to the Ancient Devil World. Could the true Ancient Devil World be behind the vortex?
Ouyang Ming also looked at the golden barrier in a daze.
After a brief moment, he barely calmed down and said with a slightly trembling voice, "That's right. Such a powerful and pure power of thunder and lightning. I'm afraid … only the Universal Thunder Resistance Hoop can set it up."
At that moment, Zhao Qianying also had an excited expression on her face, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on the black vortex behind the barrier.
When Liu Ming saw the excited expressions on the two people beside him, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, but his expression was much calmer.
Ouyang Ming let out a deep breath, and he immediately moved closer to the golden lightning barrier.
"Quickly stop him! This Universal Thunder Resistance Hoop will kill anyone that tries to get close to it. Even an Mystic Enlightenment almighty will not be able to completely resist the power of thunder and lightning. "Mo Tian's voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ming's mind.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and he moved in front of Ouyang Ming to block him. He quickly told him what Mo Tian said.
Ouyang Ming's expression sank when he heard it.
