"Third Young Master, what do we do now?"
Little Tiger and the others rushed to Du Shaofu's side. They didn't know what to do and were all very careful.
Du Shaofu looked around and found that only Little Tiger, Du Hao, Dai Xingyu, Gu Xinyan, Tang Wu, Wu Que, Qi Jiajun, Feng Han, Tang Meiling, Jiangchen, and a few elders and disciples from the School of Yin Yang and Hehuan School were still around. There were only 16 people in total.
Originally, there were almost a thousand people from all the major forces together. It was a huge lineup.
Quietly, that strange storm had caused so many people to disappear without a trace.
Du Xiaoyao, Little Xingxing, Qi Yexi, Dongli Qingqing, Jialou Batian, and the others had all disappeared. Du Shaofu was very worried, and his heart was heavy.
He looked around. Behind him was no different from when he came. There were still white bones everywhere, broken walls, and dilapidated battlefields everywhere.
The huge monster in the distance was still towering. It seemed to be emitting an aura that made one's soul tremble. It was like a cosmic beast that was sleeping.
"Let's go to the front!"
Du Shaofu narrowed his eyes. That should be the center. This place was strange, but that should be their final destination.
Du Shaofu guessed that Du Xiaoyao, Little Xingxing, and his father should have landed somewhere else in this strange place. They couldn't find him, but as long as they could see the huge monster, they should be heading there.
Then, Du Shaofu led the group forward.
Du Shaofu tapped the ground with the tip of his foot. He didn't use any Celestial Qi, but with a little help, he was able to move very far away. His speed wasn't slow.
However, Tang Wu, Gu Xinyan, Wu Que, and the others obviously couldn't catch up to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu could only slow down and be careful along the way.
"Whoosh!"
After a while, a huge hole appeared in the shattered ground in front of them.
This huge hole was thousands of feet wide, like an abyss. What was more terrifying was that hot red lava was constantly flowing out.
"Be careful!"
Du Shaofu was in the distance. Just by approaching, he could feel an enormous devouring power and blazing energy spreading towards him.
That devouring power seemed to want to devour him. The power was so strong that it was hard for him to resist.
The scorching heat could burn everything. Wisps of white smoke appeared in the air. Ordinary bodies would not be able to resist it.
"Retreat!"
Du Shaofu immediately ordered the people behind him to retreat, not wanting to be devoured.
"Wu wu …"
However, as Du Shaofu and the others immediately retreated, strange noises could be heard coming from the abyss where the lava was overflowing.
The sound was ear-piercing and mournful, as if something was roaring and struggling.
"Awoo …"
The roars of beasts rang out. Terrifying creatures crawled out from the magma overflowing abyss. More and more of them appeared, densely packed.
Some of these strange creatures looked like apes, but they weren't apes. Some looked like wolves, and some looked like evil spirits. They weren't very big, but their bodies were filled with blazing lava.
Those strange and ferocious creatures seemed to have some kind of shackles covered in lava that pierced through their bodies.
"Wu wu …"
The densely packed strange and ferocious creatures that crawled out continuously fell back down. Amidst shrill screams, they seemed to turn into ashes. White smoke filled the air, leaving nothing behind.
However, a few of the most powerful creatures broke free of their shackles. Their lava-covered eyes stared fixedly at Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, and the Little Tiger. Their eyes were filled with merciless killing intent, and they pounced directly at Du Shaofu and the others.
"Awoo!"
These ferocious creatures rushed over at an inconceivable speed. Magma dripped from their bodies, capable of burning the earth. Their auras were scorching and terrifying. Everywhere they passed, the earth would crack, and blazing flames would emerge from the ground.
"Boom!"
Du Shaofu and Jiangchen attacked. The ferocious creatures charging over were crushed into lava in the most barbaric manner possible, shattering large swaths of the void.
However, even more ferocious creatures crawled out of the abyss. Many fell back down, but there were also powerful creatures that broke free of their shackles and charged at them.
"Retreat to the left! Go around them!"
Du Shaofu shouted. He raised his arms and punched out, blocking their path and shattering the ferocious creatures.
Given Du Shaofu's physical strength, he wasn't in too much danger against these ferocious creatures.
However, Du Shaofu was worried about Gu Xinyan, Tang Wu, Tang Meiling, and the others.
These ferocious creatures were very powerful. Ordinary cultivators of the Domain would find it very difficult to defend against them. Their blazing auras alone were enough to greatly affect one's Nascent Soul.
Gu Xinyan, Tang Meiling, and the others didn't dare to tarry. They all retreated to the left.
Du Shaofu and Jiangchen blocked the ferocious creatures that constantly crawled out of the abyss. They used the strength of their physical bodies to shatter the strange creatures. Even the void was blasted apart, causing large amounts of lava to spill out.
Only after Tang Meiling, Dai Xingyu, and Gu Xinyan had retreated far away did Du Shaofu and Jiangchen give each other a meaningful glance. They shattered the nearest ferocious creatures, then retreated.
"Awoooo …."
The creatures roared savagely. Although their eyes were filled with killing intent, their gazes were empty.
Seeing Du Shaofu and Jiangchen hastily retreat, the ferocious creatures gave up after chasing them for tens of thousands of feet. Instead, they began to wander about in confusion, leaving behind lava wherever they went.
"Wuuuu …."
Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, Gu Xinyan, Dai Xingyu, and the others landed on a distant mountain peak. They gazed at the cave in front of them. Flames soared into the sky, and miserable screams rang out continuously. It was a hair-raising sight.
"What were those things just now?"
Tang Meiling's enchanting face was still shaken. Her red lips were pursed, and her heart was still palpitating.
"They were probably affected by this place, but there's no way to confirm it. However, we shouldn't stay here for long.
We need to take a detour, "Du Shaofu said. It was unlikely that they'd be able to cross the cave. Although taking a detour would take them a bit longer, it would undoubtedly be much safer.
"Did you discover anything?" Du Shaofu asked Jiangchen.
"It's very strange. I haven't discovered anything yet."
Jiangchen shook his head. His expression was calm as he continued to examine their surroundings.
The group continued onward until they arrived at a mountain range. The old bark of the towering trees had cracked open, and thick, ancient vines climbed up the rocks and towering trees. They were as vigorous as horned dragons.
The mountain range was very large. Although Du Shaofu and the others' speed had been affected, they were still quite fast. After traveling for an hour, they still hadn't left the mountain range.
Along the way, Du Shaofu saw quite a few skeletons, as well as the remains of enormous demonic beasts.
However, these skeletons were no different from ordinary bones. The bones of the demonic beasts seemed to have been affected by the aura of death. They'd been corroded into ordinary bones and were completely useless.
Their figures tapped the ground as they continued onward.
Suddenly, Du Shaofu stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head and looked to the side, his brows arched.
"What's wrong?" asked Qi Jiajun.
"There's someone here."
Du Shaofu said. Although he was suppressed to the point where he could only use the power of his physical body and couldn't use the power of his Nascent Divinity, his Nascent Divinity was still there.
However, the power of his essence soul still existed. His instincts were still there. Du Shaofu sensed the auras of others.
"Could it be Junior Sister and the others?" asked Tang Meiling.
Du Shaofu's eyes widened, and he flew over.
Not far away, there were several figures walking cautiously, appearing in Du Shaofu's line of sight.
"There are beasts. I don't recognize them," said Qi Jiajun.
He didn't recognize those people, but he could sense the aura of beasts.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the void in front of them changed. A terrifying blade light slashed through the air. Accompanied by the power to shatter the void, it landed directly on one of those people.
"Swish!"
Such a saber slash created a huge wave in the void. Space shattered. The figure that was slashed didn't even have time to react before he was slashed into pieces by the saber.
As the blade light swept out, a shadow swept out of the void.
It was a strange old man. The robe on his body was tattered, loosely covering his somewhat withered body. His whole body seemed to be skin and bones. There was no flesh on his face. It was as if old skin covered his skull.
The old man held a treasured blade in his hand that was covered with dazzling runes. The blade seemed to have stars revolving and moonlight permeating the air. The ancient pressure was very terrifying.
The old man opened his eyes. His gaze was empty, with a kind of ruthless and murderous intent.
When the old man appeared, the faces of Qi Yexi and the other elders from the Yin-Yang School suddenly changed. They carefully sized him up and looked very serious.
"Swish!"
When the old man appeared, he didn't stop at all. The blade light slashed out, and another figure was directly killed.
"Roar …"
A figure turned into a huge body. A pair of huge eyes shone with a fierce light. It was a huge bird covered in scales.
In this strange battlefield, only the physical strength could be used. As a beast, the body was the strongest combat power. The huge bird didn't hesitate to use its body.
However, it was useless. The strange old man was extremely ruthless. He waved his hand and a claw stretched out. There was an invisible force gathering, twisting the void. He directly grabbed the huge bird's wings and threw it to the ground.
The ground trembled as cracks intertwined and spread out like a spider web.
The huge bird wasn't weak. Its aura was very strong, but it was thrown to a pulp by the strange old man. Blood flowed out. It was thrown to death.
The last figure was also killed by the strange old man with a lightning-fast slash.
"Be careful!"
Du Shaofu warned everyone. The strange old man was very strong. The treasured blade in his hand was also an extraordinary saint artifact. Its power seemed to be affected by this strange space, but the old man was too strong. He was much stronger than the sinister creature that had crawled out of the magma cave not long ago.
After the old man killed the figures, his withered face was filled with ruthless killing intent. He stared at Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, and the others.
"Kill!"
The old man's eyes were filled with only killing intent and ruthlessness. His short words were cold and emotionless. He leapt forward, slashing his blade at the group.
