The holy land was not the holy land of the Billowing Saint Clan, but the holy land of the first layer of the underground world. It was said that it was closely related to the holy land of the second layer. A year ago, Serenity was supposed to be married to a powerful saint son of a saint clan in the second layer of the underground world. At that time, she and that outsider young man had just left the holy land, causing the Billowing Saint Clan to lose a lot of face.
The holy land was very dangerous. If the underground humans entered, they would most likely die. No, not even one out of a hundred would survive. However, what made the underground humans puzzled was that the chances of outsiders surviving in the holy land were much higher. At least, there were many examples of that.
The greater the danger, the greater the benefits. The holy land had existed since the ancient times, and contained many secrets and treasures. Every hundred years, the Billowing Saint Clan would organize a team to enter the holy land, and so would some of the surrounding saint clans. This time, it had not even been a hundred years. Being alone, the white-haired elder did not dare to enter.
"Head Elder, did they enter?"
Goldwind Saint son and the other two flew over.
The white-haired elder said expressionlessly, "This matter is over. Let's go back." No matter how unwilling he was, this mission had failed.
"Count them lucky. But, I wonder how long this luck will last. Who knows, the next time we enter the holy land, we might see their statues."
Goldwind Saint son said coldly.
…
Woo woo woo!
Woo woo woo woo!
The black gale blew everywhere like the scythe of the grim reaper. Everywhere it passed, it would let out a woo woo sound, and the towering mountain peaks would be shaved off.
The moment Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng appeared, they saw a gust of black wind blowing over. The two subconsciously strengthened their defense. What surprised them was that the Zhen Yuan that had been compressed in the deepest part of their dantian broke free and formed a layer of protective Zhen Yuan outside their bodies, firmly protecting them.
"The Zhen Yuan here is not restricted!" Murong Qingcheng said after resisting the black wind with some difficulty.
Ye Chen said, "My spirit power is still being suppressed. No wonder they did not catch up." When the spirit power was suppressed, the soul would also be suppressed. Once the soul was weakened, the will would naturally be affected. As for how much the will was suppressed in the underground world, Ye Chen did not know.
Pitter-patter!
As the black wind collided with Ye Chen's protective true essence, it issued a continuous series of explosive sounds. A faint feeling of dizziness suddenly appeared. Ye Chen finally noticed the black wind. After carefully identifying it, he said, "This is the Soul Scattering Astral Wind. It is an astral wind formed from the combination of metal origin energy and dark origin energy. Not only that, but there is also a faint trace of will contained within, making this astral wind comparable to astral energy."
The difference between the Astral Wind and the Astral Qi was that the former was mixed with the air, which had more impurities. Therefore, its power was not as powerful as the pure Astral Qi. However, with the enhancement of the weird will, the Astral Wind's power was not weaker than the Astral Qi, which was powerful enough to threaten ninety-nine percent of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
"I wonder if the Yin Demon Ancestor has entered?" Murong Qingcheng frowned slightly.
"He should be coming in! But there is no need to worry. " Ye Chen knew what she was worried about. Since this place could not suppress Zhen Yuan, then the Yin Demon Ancestor would be a true Master level expert after entering. Even if the two of them joined hands, they would not be able to defeat him with a single hand. However, they did not have any enmity with the Yin Demon Ancestor, nor did they have any conflicts of interest. Even if they met, it would not be a big deal. As for the future, they could talk about it in the future.
…
The Yin Demon Ancestor had indeed entered. However, he was not in the same place as Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng. The moment he came out, a strange gale faintly emitting three colored lights blew over. Its might was incomparable, almost the same as an all-out attack of an ordinary Sea of Soul realm expert. However, the next moment, the Yin Demon Ancestor let out a sigh of relief. He discovered that he could finally use Zhen Yuan. With Zhen Yuan, what could these three colored gale do?
"Green, yellow, black … It's actually the Soul Leaving Astral Wind! No, it contains a weird will. Its might is not inferior to the Astral Qi formed by the fusion of three kinds of Yuan Qi."
The Yin Demon Ancestor was somewhat astonished. He had never heard of a will contained in the wind. Was it man-made or natural?
Walking on the desolate and hard ground, the Yin Demon Ancestor was fearless. As long as he had Zhen Yuan, not to mention his battle power increasing by several folds, his life-saving means had also increased. The only thing that made him feel a bit pained was that he had lost two upper grade artifacts in order to get rid of the white-haired old man. It should be known that even if he was a Master level expert, he did not have many upper grade artifacts. At this moment, he only had one upper grade artifact left.
"En!"
The Yin Demon Ancestor's brows twitched. As he retreated, he slashed out with his blade.
Puchi!
The huge centipede that had just popped out had its head chopped off, black juices splattering everywhere.
"Ninth grade ancient demonic beast, Black Mountain Centipede!" The Yin Demon Ancestor recognized the centipede with a single glance.
A centipede died, but it did not stop moving. Although the centipede had its head chopped off, its lower body still broke out of the ground and swept toward the Yin Demon Ancestor.
"Courting death!" The Yin Demon Ancestor sneered. Being chased by the white-haired old man had always annoyed him, and he had been wondering where to vent it.
With a wave of his blade, dozens of sawtoothed blade Qi crisscrossed. The centipede was instantly dismembered, its flesh scattering in all directions.
…
While the Yin Demon Ancestor had dealt with the Black Mountain Centipede, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were besieged by a group of seventh grade ancient demonic beasts, Snake-Scaled Wolves.
The Snake-Scaled Wolf was a mutated demonic beast. Its body was like a wolf, but it was several times bigger than an ordinary wolf. It was more than two meters tall, and it had no fur on its body. Instead, it had scales that flickered with dark blue radiance. These scales were very small compared to its huge body, only the size of a thumb. However, it was precisely because of this that the densely packed scales of the Snake-Scaled Wolf had a very high defense, comparable to some eighth grade demonic beasts.
From time to time, the Snake-Scaled Wolf would spit out a ball of black light, bombarding Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng.
"Green Lotus Qi Transformation!"
Like a porcupine, countless sword Qi shot out from Ye Chen's body. After a round of attacks, a large number of Snake-Scaled Wolves died. With Ye Chen's strength, not to mention a large group of seventh grade demonic beasts, even a large group of eighth grade demonic beasts would not be able to do anything to him.
Just as the two of them were about to eliminate all the Snake-Scaled Wolves, the remaining ones seemed to have sensed something and ran desperately in a certain direction.
Ye Chen did not think that the Snake-Scaled Wolves were afraid. He had killed so many of them before, but they were not afraid at all. Following the gaze of a Snake-Scaled Wolf as it turned around, Ye Chen turned his head to look.
On the horizon, a layer of black Qi was moving towards them. The speed of the black Qi was extremely fast, allowing Ye Chen to clearly see its appearance. Rather than calling it black Qi, it would be more accurate to call it black mist. This black mist that covered the entire mountain was like a ghostly mist, from which ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard. Faintly, Ye Chen could see many blurry human faces and human bodies, as well as the vague silhouettes of some demonic beasts.
Wherever the black mist went, the demonic beasts that were hidden in the depths would be swept out. Their bodies would rapidly decay, and a mass of light would merge into the black mist.
"Soul Devour!"
Ye Chen's complexion changed. Not caring about hiding anything, he took out his flying puppet from his storage ring. Ye Chen had two flying puppets, a leopard puppet and a roc puppet. The leopard puppet was equipped with mid grade spirit stones, while the roc puppet was equipped with upper grade spirit stones. This way, he could change them at any time at a critical moment. At this moment, Ye Chen took out the roc puppet.
"Get on!"
Leaping onto the back of the roc puppet, Ye Chen said.
Murong Qingcheng was somewhat astonished and quickly jumped on.
Swish!
With the upper grade spirit stones as the driving force, the roc puppet's speed was as fast as an aurora. In two or three blinks of an eye, its speed had increased to five times the speed of sound, then seven times the speed of sound, and then ten times the speed of sound. It was as fast as lightning, leaving all the Snake-Scaled Wolves behind.
"This is an upper grade flying puppet?" Murong Qingcheng asked.
Ye Chen nodded, "I found it in the ruins of a Puppet Sect branch. Its maximum speed is ten times the speed of sound, comparable to ordinary Sea of Soul realm experts. However, it consumes upper grade spirit stones."
The black mist's speed was at least six or seven times the speed of sound. The Snake-Scaled Wolves were overtaken without any leeway to resist. Their bodies decayed one after another, and their souls floated out. The scene was extremely spectacular and horrifying, as if they had arrived at a hellish world.
Half an hour later, the two of them rode on the giant roc puppet and traveled twenty-five thousand miles away, leaving the soul-devouring black fog far behind.
Putting away the roc puppet, the two landed on the ground.
As far as the eye could see, it was a wilderness overgrown with weeds. Strangely, they could see a stone statue every few meters. These stone statues were either standing, sitting, lying on the ground, or buried in the soil. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but the expressions of the stone statues were vivid and lifelike, as if they had a mind of their own. Their originally expressionless faces all had a hint of a strange smile.
"They don't look any different from the statues in the Stoneman Array."
Ye Chen recalled that the Stoneman Array had fallen into the underground world together with the undying altar. There might be some unknown relationship between the two.
Kacha!
When he passed by a half-buried statue of a stone man, a few cracks suddenly appeared in the soil beside the statue.
Murong Qingcheng cautiously said, "There's something inside the statue."
As soon as she said those words, the statue broke out of the soil. A cold smile appeared on its stone face as it twisted its arm and punched toward the two.
"Heaven's Rebuke!"
Murong Qingcheng's palm met the attack, and the statue was knocked back dozens of meters by the repulsive force.
Kacha!
Kacha! Kacha!
The surrounding Stone Golem statues all came to life, and the smiles on their faces were either eerie or demented. If it wasn't a cruel smile, it wouldn't look like a normal smile. It gave off a chilling feeling, and it was incredibly evil.
"Sky Thunder Cut!"
Ye Chen didn't dare to be careless. He threw out his most powerful sword attack. The sword light was like snow as it cut down seven or eight statues in a straight line. The statues were cut open, and black smoke rose from the broken parts. Then, the upper parts reconnected without a trace of damage.
"Undying Body!"
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng both thought about the undying body. They had come to the underground world because of the undying body. It was very unlikely that the undying body had nothing to do with the underground world. However, this kind of undying body was too creepy, and normal people wouldn't choose it. Of course, it was just their guess. No one knew what the real undying body was like.
