Ye Fan was drenched in cold sweat. There was one more person in the ruins. In the darkness, he could only see a majestic and tall silhouette. Only a pair of bright eyes were like two lamps!
In the silent confrontation, Ye Fan was shaken. This person must be very powerful. Otherwise, how could he get so close to him?
This was very strange. One had to know that this was Ancient Mars Star, a land of death. Why was there still such a mysterious existence?
"Are you the Ancestor Crocodile?"
Ye Fan's voice was emotionless. He had experienced too many things. Even if a Quasi-emperor appeared in front of him, he would not panic.
The two green lantern-like eyes dimmed. This person disappeared into thin air, as if he had never been there. The place was empty.
A chill ran down Ye Fan's spine. This person was too fast, so fast that he did not even notice how he disappeared. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
He suddenly turned around and felt a chill run down his spine. In the darkness, there was a vague majestic silhouette staring at him. It was still the same person from before.
Similarly, not even a moment later, the mysterious demonic shadow disappeared again. There was no sign of life at all as it appeared in another place.
How could it be so fast? Ye Fan was truly shocked. If this person attacked, how could he block it? It was horrifying!
Was it the Ancestor Crocodile? He was not sure. He could not see its true body, nor could he see its appearance. He could not even capture its aura.
Just what was this thing? If it was the Ancestor Crocodile, it would have crushed him to death with a finger. Why didn't it attack?
Ye Fan activated the Row Formula and turned into a beam of light. He left the Thunderclap Temple ruins and stopped several miles away to listen to the sounds of heaven and earth.
Everything was extremely quiet. There was no storm at this time. The entire Ancient Mars Star was silent except for his own heartbeat.
The stars in the sky flickered with faint specks of light. In the darkness, the Thunderclap Temple ruins were like a dormant beast.
"What's going on? Why didn't that demonic shadow follow me?"
Ye Fan was astonished. That majestic figure moved left and right at that place, which made him feel scared. Why didn't it follow him?
"It's a little strange!" Ye Fan wandered around the ruins of the Big Leiyin Temple. He circled around it and observed, but nothing unusual happened. This puzzled him.
"Don't tell me that thing was born from the ruins of the ancient temple?"
Thinking of this possibility, he calmed down a lot and walked forward step by step, slowly approaching the ruins that had been abandoned for many years.
Sure enough, as soon as he got closer, a tall and sturdy figure silently appeared in the same place, constantly changing his position like a ghost king.
Moreover, when Ye Fan tried to walk to the other end of the ruins, an even more terrifying scene appeared. A great ancient demon devoured the heaven and earth, appearing and disappearing indistinctly. It exuded a frightening baleful aura that was completely different from the demonic figure from before.
Ye Fan was not afraid when he saw this scene. Instead, he was completely relieved. He had spent a lot of time with people like Duan De and the Black Emperor in the Big Dipper Star Region. It was impossible for him not to know many strange things. He had been influenced by what he saw and heard, and he had almost become half an authority.
This was the temple's guardian demon god!
All of this must have originated from the foundation. After so many years, the crocodile ancestor broke free and destroyed the foundation, allowing Gautama Buddha's backup plan to appear in the world.
There was a kind of underground sealing method in the world. It was very magical and cruel. The foundation was cast with the blood of a powerful demon saint, and the dead could manifest all kinds of dharma images from when they were alive.
Below the Big Leiyin Temple was the demonic land with eighteen levels of hell. It must have been painstakingly built with sufficient preparation. Otherwise, the entire ancient temple would most likely be overturned by the demons below.
Ye Fan carefully cleaned up and pushed the rubble of the Big Leiyin Temple to the side, revealing a dense foundation.
"This is the paradise of Buddhism, but this is the scene below. In order to suppress the demon, Gautama Buddha was also ruthless."
The foundation looked extraordinary at first glance. Every piece of stone was engraved with mysterious runes. They were black and red in color and had been soaked in demon blood. It was a horrifying sight.
In the center of the underground foundation, there was a huge black hole. After clearing away the rubble, a terrifying demonic aura emerged from below.
"This is the eighteen levels of hell. Back then, the crocodile ancestor escaped from here."
There were eighteen levels of hell under the Big Leiyin Temple. If news of this were to spread to the mortal world, not even the Buddhists would believe it.
Back then, the crocodile ancestor had escaped, and his divine consciousness had also rushed out. It was unknown whether the more powerful gods from the outer realms had also escaped.
"This place isn't far from Earth. If these things want to escape …"
Ye Fan shuddered. Who on Earth could compete with them in the Age of Chaos where no one knew how to cultivate? At the thought of this, he felt very uneasy. He decided to go down and see what was going on.
Ye Fan entered the black hole alone. This place was like the huge mouth of a primordial beast waiting to devour people. It was sinister and terrifying.
A bone-chilling killing intent surged over. It was as painful as a blunt knife cutting his flesh. The underground was vast and hundreds of meters deep. The length and width were also the same.
Although it was pitch-black, nothing could hide from the Heaven's Eye. This was the first level of hell!
The walls were full of carvings of golden arhats, bodhisattvas, and ancient buddhas. They were in a demon-subduing state, glaring angrily at him with awe-inspiring divine might. This was the refinement of devils!
Ye Fan was astonished. The killing intent emitted by these carvings had accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years. It could refine a great demon king and possessed profound and unfathomable divine abilities.
This was the place where the crocodile was suppressed. It could be said that it was no small miracle that he was suppressed for two thousand years without dying.
The huge and spacious first level of hell was completely carved out of stone. It seemed to be formed after a huge demonic stone was hollowed out.
In each of the four corners, there was a thick stone pillar supporting the Big Leiyin Temple above. It seemed to be suppressing this place.
There were all kinds of demonic gods carved on these four pillars. There were also blood grooves soaked in dried black blood. This was the Demonic Transformation Pillar, used to refine demonic sages.
There were a few giant scales on the ground, every single one the length of a person, flickering with dense killing light. Without a doubt, this belonged to the crocodile ancestor, something that came off after being refined by the first level of hell.
Ye Fan picked one up, discovering that the material was extremely sturdy. Even though its demonic energy had long been refined away, its essence removed, there was still a trace of undying characteristics.
"Worthy of being a demonic sage, even a completely ruined scale is still so terrifying!" Ye Fan clenched his teeth. He was full of hatred towards the crocodile ancestor, wishing to pull out its tendons and pull out its bones.
In a corner, there was a large black hole that led even deeper underground. That was the entrance to the second level of hell, the place where the great completion malicious spirits were suppressed.
Ye Fan leapt inside. He wanted to see how many levels of hell had been broken through. The underground world was pitch-black, becoming even more murky. At the same time, yin energy attacked his body, his skin feeling as if it was being pierced by needles.
Suddenly, his expression became sluggish, his entire body going rigid. It was because there was a ghost lamp in this level of hell that released a lush green light, a chilly aura assaulting his face.
Moreover, there was a stone coffin right in front of that ghost lamp, and a shriveled little old man was squatting on top of it, smiling strangely at him.
Ye Fan's hair stood on end as he staggered backward. There was actually a living creature in this second level of hell!
This place had long since broken through the seal, so why was there such a ghost lamp and such an old ghost with soaring yin energy? His body was in even more pain, as if thousands of yin needles were pricking his body.
"Boom!"
Ye Fan took out the cauldron on the spot, and nine-colored flames poured down like a waterfall, covering his entire body within. He held the bodhi seed in his palm.
This was the Extreme Yang Divine Flame that could burn all filthy evil spirits. Ye Fan used it to protect his body, but he didn't act blindly without thinking and stared fixedly ahead.
"Chi!"
That shriveled little old man transformed into a beam of green light and entered the copper lamp with a human body and a ghost face. The flame in the wick immediately became much more exuberant.
"This is a Coffin Suppressing Lamp!" Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. He remembered Duan De's words and knew what this thing was.
This ghost face lamp with a human body was definitely a priceless divine treasure for Duan De. It was a divine item used to suppress graves and could be used to suppress malicious spirits in coffins!
In this place, there were no other malicious spirits, but there was once a divine thought with a sacred body. That was the emperor of ghosts, so who could compare? And this ghost lamp was naturally outstanding among its kind!
No one knew how this kind of ghost lamp was refined. Not to mention the lamp itself, even the oil it burned was difficult to find. It was said that it was refined from the grease of a saint, and the more saints there were, the more wonderful it was. Since ancient times, the flame of the lamp would never go out.
Looking at the ghost lamp and the dark green ghost flame, Ye Fan was frightened. That was the burning grease refined from the body of a saint, and it was used to suppress malicious spirits with a sacred body. The grease was definitely even more rare and terrifying.
This kind of thing was not a magical treasure, so it could not be used to attack the enemy. It could only be used to suppress graves, and it had a great use in the Yin Tomb.
Ye Fan stared at the ghost face lamp with a human body. The lamp wick was its tongue, and it was indescribably evil and terrifying. This thing was very ancient, and the years had left behind unerasable old marks on it.
Just by feeling it, one could tell that this lamp had existed for at least tens of thousands of years. It was definitely not refined by the Gautama Buddha. He must have found it from somewhere else and used it to suppress malicious spirits with a sacred body.
This ghost lamp was most likely a divine item. If Duan De was here, he would definitely be drooling and pouncing over. However, Ye Fan was very disgusted and was unwilling to put it away.
Apart from dealing with the Yin Tomb and Ancient Tomb, this lamp really did not have much use.
Ye Fan looked at the burning human oil in the lamp wick and felt a wave of disgust. Although the ancient Great Sage was divine, this kind of thing left behind really made people uncomfortable.
"Even though it is not very clean, it is still precious. Once I enter the Ancient Cave Tomb of Gods, this lamp is equivalent to a divine treasure. It has strange and indescribable power."
He wanted to put it away, but he was a bit worried about the mischief of that shriveled old man. However, this indirectly proved the terror of this lamp, and it gave birth to a deity.
Ye Fan pinched his nose and threw the lamp into the nine-colored flame inside the cauldron to suppress it. He put it away.
The stone coffin was empty, and it seemed like there would not be anything left behind. After all, the deity's consciousness had already escaped, and only waves of dense aura pervaded the air.
At the end of hell, there were not eighteen layers, but only two. This puzzled Ye Fan. It was completely different from what he had guessed.
He searched repeatedly and carefully, but in the end, he came up helplessly. He searched the Great Thunderclap Temple ruins again and finally found a secret.
A stone tablet was buried beside the foundation stone. The words carved on it were not in sanskrit or cauldron characters, but in the divine language commonly used by the ten thousand ancient races!
Now, even though Ye Fan could not understand them all, he was almost there. He could mostly distinguish the meaning.
There were only two layers of the Yin Yang Hell, and they mutually restrained each other, using the power of yin and yang to seal each other. This was the general idea of the first line, and there was a passage below.
Ye Fan instantly understood that the eighteen layers of hell were separated into groups of two. They were divided into nine ancient stars, and a total of eighteen terrifying ancient existences were suppressed there, each more powerful than the last!
"It is fortunate that this is the case. Otherwise, if the seal of this place were to be broken and the eighteen ancient deities rushed out at the same time, even the return of the Sakyamuni Buddha might not be of any use."
Suddenly, the deafening sound of waves traveled over. At first, Ye Fan thought it was an illusion, but when he listened carefully, he simply could not believe his ears. It was real!
Moreover, at this time, he saw a vast black ocean surging over from the horizon!
He had read reports before that in the distant past, there might have been great rivers on Mars Star, and even great lakes and oceans. But now, the era had long changed, so how could they still exist?
"Boom!"
The raging waves beat against the shore, and rocks flew through the air.
In that black ocean, there were actually a few ghost ships sailing, flickering with green ghostly flames. It was indescribably strange.
