The dozen or so experts didn't seem to know that they were already dead. They continued to walk forward unhurriedly. Their treasures were still hanging high above their heads, but these treasures were also tattered, as if they had been corroded by something.
"Be careful of your surroundings. There's probably something strange in this swamp!" The peerless expert leading them shouted in a deep voice. He didn't seem to notice that his flesh and blood had been melted away.
The other skeletons were also talking and laughing, cautiously guarding against the movements around them. It was as if they and their teammates were still living humans in their eyes.
Fog rose above the swamp. As the breeze blew, the fog drifted and spread in all directions.
"Could it be that this mist is an extremely powerful restriction?"
A Chu Yun City disciple revealed a look of fear and cried out involuntarily, "After killing us, we still think that we're still alive?"
"The fog isn't a restriction!"
Ou Zhenyun reached out and grabbed a ball of fog. He carefully examined it and said in a deep voice, "This is just ordinary fog. In my opinion, the swamp is the restriction! This swamp is a great restriction, and we're all in the restriction now! "
"Holy Fire Buddha!"
Ou Suijing shouted and activated the Eight Treasures Lotus Platform with all his might. The Buddha's light in the Holy Fire Lamp shone brightly, refining the evil and illuminating the void.
Where the Buddha's light shone, the Chu Yun City disciple who had just spoken suddenly cried out. He looked at his arms and body in a daze and cried out involuntarily, "I'm already dead?"
In the Buddha's light emitted by the Holy Fire Lamp, one could see that his physical body had already decayed for an unknown period of time. His flesh and blood peeled off his body piece by piece, leaving only piles of white bones.
He was like a walking skeleton, mingling in the crowd and talking to Jiang Nan and the others. No one, including himself, realized that he was already dead!
"I'm already dead?" A Chu Yun City female disciple looked at her own body and said with a sobbing tone.
She had also unknowingly turned into a skeleton. Standing there, the skeleton seemed to be crying, but there was no flesh and blood on her body, making her look a little eerie.
Under the illumination of the Sacred Flame Lamp, Jiang Nan and the others looked around and saw that there were more than ten skeletons among them. Shockingly, all of their vitality had been sucked away by the swamp without them knowing!
And this was under the situation where Ou Suijing had already activated the Eight Treasures Lotus Seat and the Holy Light Buddha's protection. Without the Holy Light Buddha's protection, they would have suffered even more casualties. Even Ou Zhenyun, an expert who was infinitely close to becoming a god, would have unknowingly turned into a pile of bones!
Crash.
The dozen or so skeletons suddenly scattered and shattered on the ground.
Originally, they didn't know that they were dead and were still talking and laughing. Their wills were controlling their skeletons to follow Jiang Nan and the others. But now that they knew that they were dead, their wills dissipated, and it was difficult for them to maintain their skeletal bodies!
Originally, Rising Cloud City had dispatched more than 20 outstanding experts, all of whom were at the level of a sect master. However, at this moment, more than 16 of them had died, and it was unknown when the others would die.
"I don't want to die here!"
A look of fear appeared in the eyes of one of the Rising Cloud City experts. He suddenly leaped up and fled frantically in the direction he came from.
Chi —
His neck suddenly split open, and his head was sliced into pieces by the invisible restriction in the air. His body swayed and fell into the swamp. The next moment, his body began to rot, leaving only white bones. He stood up shakily, and the headless skeleton took a step forward, changing its direction and walking toward the Divine Tree.
"What kind of restriction is this swamp?" a female disciple from Rising Cloud City who was lucky enough to survive asked with a trembling voice.
"I'm afraid it's not a restriction."
Jiang Nan carefully sensed the thick aura of death in the swamp and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this is the aura of death emitted by Saint Shen Mu when he died. He's robbing the vitality of others!"
"That's right. There's rich vitality coming from other places, but there's no vitality here!"
Daoist Sanque's expression also turned serious, which was rare for him. He nodded and said, "Saint Shen Mu was a Divine Master and was as strong as an Ultimate God. How strong was his vitality? How terrifying would it be for such a powerful existence to have all his vitality turned into the aura of death when he died? Stepping on the swamp is equivalent to stepping on Saint Shen Mu's rotting corpse. He's robbing our vitality at every moment! "
Ou Zhenyun said in a deep voice, "Maintaining the Sacred Flame Lamp should be able to resist the invasion of this aura of death, right?"
Jiang Nan closed his eyes and carefully observed every corner of his body. He shook his head and said, "I can feel my vitality still flowing away. It seems like the Sacred Flame Lamp is effective, but this divine treasure can't completely resist the aura of death."
Everyone hurriedly looked inside their bodies. Their cultivation levels had all surpassed the Xuandu realm. They could see the nature of gods and sense their lifespans. Immediately, they felt their lifespans decreasing rapidly, as if there was an invisible force that was frantically sucking away their vitality!
Jiang Nan was fine. He could guard himself and treat his body as a Great Devil Prison. He sealed off all his Qi and controlled the loss of his vitality.
Daoist Sanque used his body as the Myriad Prison Furnace and could also control his vitality. Shao Tianya's Nine Transformation Battle Physique and Ou Suijing's Spear Soul Treasure Physique could both suppress the speed at which their vitality was flowing away. However, the vitality of the others was flowing away rapidly!
"My lifespan is about to be sucked dry …" a disciple from Rising Cloud City said with a trembling voice.
"Imperial Heaven Dao Bell!"
With a slight thought from Jiang Nan, a great bell soared into the sky and let out a loud bang. The sound of the bell was long lasting, and the Heavenly Dao was everlasting. The Imperial Heaven Dao Bell rang, and the sound of the bell rose and fell. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was protecting everyone and helping them resist the plunder of the swamp.
"Everyone, be careful. Hide under my bell and don't take a single step out!"
When everyone saw that the bell could actually resist the invasion of the aura of death, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and carefully followed him forward.
In the distance, there were also many people who noticed the abnormality in the swamp. They took out their own treasures to defend themselves and resist the invasion of the aura of death. However, there were only a few teams that could take out treasures like the Eight Treasure Lotus Platform and the Imperial Heaven Dao Bell. There were still people who lost their lives and turned into corpses walking on the swamp.
Buzz —
The Buddha's light shone and pierced through the void. The Perfected Buddha was solemn and dignified. Behind him, the shadows of thousands of Buddhas appeared. Wherever he passed, the aura of death calmed down. His magic power was obviously many times stronger than the holy light Buddha formed by the Eight Treasure Lotus Platform. He could actually completely suppress the aura of death here.
Ou Zhendong also appeared above the swamp. His strength was not inferior to Perfected Buddha in the slightest. The vertical eye between his brows suddenly opened and turned into a formation map. The formation map carried him forward and was not affected by the swamp's invasion.
In front of him, Madam Jade of the Si Family of the Northern Desert released an Icebound Galaxy, freezing everything and protecting the people of the Si Family of the Northern Desert as they moved forward.
Venerable Taohe, Old Man Li, and other gods and demons also took out their own treasures to protect one side.
In this swamp, there were not many people left. Without the protection of gods and demons, even if you were an expert close to god, only death awaited you!
Originally, there were nearly a hundred people who stepped into this swamp. Now, there were only about forty people left. Even beside Jiang Nan, other than Ou Suijing, Ou Zhenyun, Shao Tianya, and Taoist Sanque, there were only three disciples from the Rising Cloud City.
The fog increased and gradually shrouded the entire swamp. One could only vaguely see the divine tree in the distance, faintly discernible.
Roar —
A loud roar was heard, followed by the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping. Surprisingly, the Crocodile God's corpse demon had chased Blood God Mao Yuangong into this swamp.
The swamp was no longer peaceful. Although Mao Yuangong was not the Crocodile God's opponent, he was very good at escaping. He actually escaped from the Crocodile God's pursuit.
This place was covered in thick fog. He escaped into the fog, so the Crocodile God could not find him. This giant crocodile overturned the seas and rivers in the swamp, turning the swamp upside down.
This Crocodile God was originally a dead true god. When it came to the swamp, it was not afraid of the aura of death. After coming here, it was like a fish in water, overturning the seas and rivers in search of Mao Yuangong.
Dong —
When the bell rang, the Crocodile God immediately swam in the direction of the sound.
Jiang Nan hurriedly raised his hand and pressed on the Heavenly Dao Bell. Everyone held their breath. They saw a huge shadow slide past the Heavenly Dao Bell without a sound. It was the Crocodile God. When it heard the bell, it swam in their direction.
When Jiang Nan pressed the bell, the Crocodile God disappeared and swam past them.
Suddenly, a low roar came from not far away. The Crocodile God's roar and screams came from the mist. Not long after, there was a loud bang, and a giant corpse fell from the mist. It almost crushed them under the corpse!
This corpse was the Crocodile God. It was as big as a mountain, and it fell in front of Jiang Nan and the others.
Then, the corpse swayed and was dragged into the fog by something. Then, there was the sound of chewing.
"There's something in this fog …" the female disciple from Chu Yun City said with a trembling voice.
Jiang Nan's expression was solemn. He said in a low voice, "And it's a very powerful thing. It can even kill and eat the corpse of a true god like the Crocodile God!"
Daoist Sanque, Shao Tianya, and the others also had a bad feeling. This swamp was already very gloomy and terrifying, and now there was a dense fog in the surroundings. There was also an unknown monster hidden in the fog, waiting for an opportunity to eat people. Even the existence that was born from the corpse of a True God had been eaten by this monster. There was nothing more terrifying than this!
The Heavenly Dao Bell fell down with a bang, covering them under it. Then, they heard a dull roar from outside the bell, followed by the ear-piercing sound of claws scratching the Heavenly Dao Bell.
Jiang Nan activated the Heavenly Dao Bell with all his strength to protect himself and the others. He only heard the sound of claws scratching disappear, followed by the angry roar of Trueness Buddha in the distance. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. He took out the Heavenly Dao Bell and rushed towards the direction of the Divine Tree with everyone.
And in the distance, Trueness Buddha's expression was solemn. Many powerhouses of the Foguang Temple surrounded him. His eyebrows split open, and Holy Monk Tan Zhi flew up and sat cross-legged in between his eyebrows. He activated the True Buddha Sarira with all his strength, using himself as his third eye.
Suddenly, a big green claw silently stretched out from the fog, grabbed the head of an Arhat, and retracted with lightning speed!
"Evildoer, you're courting death!"
Trueness Buddha's expression darkened. He crossed his hands, and the Dao law turned into a bright mirror. Buddha's Aura gushed out from the mirror, and a beam of light shot out, shining into the fog.
"Hehe …" A strange laugh came from the fog, followed by the sound of chewing.
Suddenly, that claw stretched out again, grabbing at another Buddha Light Temple venerable. True Dharma Buddha shouted, and like a bolt of lightning, he met the claw with his fist. That claw paused for a moment, but it still came over, grabbing that venerable's head and shrinking back.
Trueness Buddha's face was ashen, his arms were trembling, and his voice was also trembling. "It's the corpse of Saint Shen Mu … He has become a corpse demon! Go, go! "
