"Being the world's number one might be good, but I still have to die! This won't do, I have to retreat! "
One of the martial artists clenched his teeth, a struggle in his eyes as he mentally battled with himself for a long time. Finally, he turned around and used his hands and feet to climb to the top of the cave like a giant gecko.
He could sense that if he didn't turn around, he really would fall down and die in vain.
When one of them turned around, it was like a domino effect. The other cultivators also turned around and headed towards the top of the pit unwillingly. This was a stark contrast to how they had been scrambling to get ahead.
Treasures were important, but their lives were even more important.
Time slowly passed, and the allure of treasures caused the vast majority of martial artists to continue climbing down. One thousand two hundred meters, one thousand five hundred meters, one thousand eight hundred meters, two thousand meters … A few hours passed. Apart from the sound of climbing, the pit was eerily quiet.
But this pit was like a bottomless abyss that seemed to have no end.
Along the way, more and more martial artists could not hold on any longer. They had no choice but to turn around and climb upwards.
Wang Chong remained motionless, lowering his aura to the minimum and even retracting his life force. If one didn't pay close attention, they wouldn't even be able to sense the life energy in his body.
Tortoise Breathing Art!
The strange art that Wang Chong had learned from the Sindhi monk was now showing its use.
Martial artists were unable to endure thin air because their metabolism was too powerful, but if their bodily functions were at their lowest, their need for air would also be minimal.
Thus, even if the air was thin, they could still move normally.
This was the countermeasure that Wang Chong had come up with to deal with this bottomless abyss.
"Not bad!"
On the head of the white dragon, the Demonic Emperor Old Man had been worried about Wang Chong this entire time. When he heard Wang Chong's breathing and how his bodily functions were dropping to the limit, he couldn't help but give a slight nod.
Although Wang Chong was young, he was extremely experienced. There was no need for him to worry too much about dealing with this situation.
"Buzz!"
A moment later, the Demonic Emperor Old Man closed his eyes and used a special art.
He didn't know Wang Chong's Turtle Breathing Technique, but as a grandmaster of the martial arts world, the number one person of the evil path, the Evil Emperor, he knew many different kinds of special techniques, much more than Wang Chong.
Almost at the same time, Chief Of Wushang, whose robes were fluttering in the wind, also reduced his aura to the minimum.
The winds howled as the martial artists on both sides continued to climb like monkeys toward the bottomless pit. In the face of danger, many martial artists were unwilling to give up.
"This place should be close to three thousand meters from the top of the cave! But he still couldn't see the bottom. Just how deep was the pit left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord? Moreover, why did he make this treasure trove so complicated? "
Wang Chong sat cross-legged without moving. With the help of his Stellar Energy, he firmly attached himself to the white dragon. His mind was in turmoil, countless thoughts flitting through his mind.
Whether it was in this life or his last, Wang Chong had experienced many dangerous places, but none of them felt as insignificant as this bottomless pit. Hanging from the walls was as insignificant as an ant, and he could drop at any moment.
This pit was like a world of giants, and it was impossible to know where it ended.
The air at three thousand meters was extremely thin. This distance was an unimaginable depth for many martial artists, almost like an abyss. But Wang Chong sensed that this was still an extremely small distance for this enormous pit with a diameter of seven to eight hundred meters.
Everyone who comes here is aiming for the title of number one in the world. But I don't know how many people will be able to endure and reach the bottom!
With this thought, Wang Chong slowly raised his head.
From Wang Chong's perspective, the sky above him was gloomy and gloomy. The hole he had come from had been like a bright moon hanging in the distant sky, but now, it was only the size of a sesame seed. As far as the eye could see, a large number of martial artists were still climbing down from the sky.
This scene was like a dark passage leading to another world.
Whoosh!
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a violent tremor from the ground, accompanied by a shower of stones and debris. The white dragon's massive body began to tremble, half of its body suspended in the air. Even Wang Chong was fiercely swaying.
Shocked, Wang Chong hurriedly steadied himself.
It's the wall!
A cold light flashed in Wang Chong's eyes as he focused on the wall below him.
At this depth, the surroundings were dark and the light was extremely weak. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to see anything, but Wang Chong could see a faint white light refracting off the wall.
"Chong-er, careful! The wall here is much smoother, and the earth and stone below the surface are rather soft. You can't use the white dragon to go down! "
In the darkness, the Evil Emperor's grave voice came from up ahead.
After just three thousand meters, before they had even reached the bottom, the walls of the pit had already become rather difficult to climb. This was something that no one had expected.
"Brother Fang, get ready and remove the white dragon. We'll walk! Chong-er, are you ready? "
The Evil Emperor sternly said. The first part of his sentence was directed at the Chief Of Wushang while the second part was directed at Wang Chong.
"Mm."
In the darkness, the Chief Of Wushang nodded. He had only used the white staff to transform into a dragon because he didn't understand this place, but there was no need now.
"Your disciple understands!"
Wang Chong gave a serious nod, but his face didn't change much.
The change had come faster than expected, but for Wang Chong, it was time for him to show off his skills.
Hualala!
A few moments later, the white dragon slipped, and another large piece of earth and stone fell toward the bottom of the pit. The combined strength of the three and the Stellar Energy transformed into a dragon was too much for the walls to bear.
The three of them had split up and walked alone, which was the best outcome.
Roar!
At this moment, there was a deafening dragon roar. The Chief Of Wushang pulled back his palm, and the thirty-four-meter-long and lifelike white dragon immediately scattered, transforming back into a white staff that was six to seven feet long. Like a young bird, it flew back into the Chief Of Wushang's hand.
Hualala! At this moment, the Evil Emperor leaped forward, his robes fluttering in the wind as he drew a small arc in the air. Then, his feet landed firmly on the smooth wall of the pit. A massive surge of Stellar Energy burst out of his body and crashed into the wall through his feet.
In the next moment, the Evil Emperor actually straightened his body and walked perpendicular to the smooth wall as if he was walking on flat ground. He walked directly toward the bottom of the pit, who knew how deep it was. On the other side, the Chief Of Wushang tapped the ground with his staff and also stepped on the wall, walking forward with the Evil Emperor.
As for Wang Chong — —
Although his strength was limited, as the master of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, Wang Chong had long since reached the point of perfection in the use of all kinds of suction forces.
Whoosh!
In the instant that he flew off the back of the white dragon, Wang Chong quickly drew out a stream of energy from the Energy Condensation Pearl. At the same time, he turned it into a cyclone and gathered it at his chest, creating a powerful repulsive force that actually canceled out most of the suction force at the bottom of the pit. At the same time, he pushed his feet forward, and a surge of Stellar Energy rushed seven to eight feet deep into the wall, immediately latching onto it.
"Almost there. Using this method and the repulsive force of the wall, I should be able to minimize the suction force at the bottom of the pit."
Wang Chong thought to himself.
That cyclone was a 'minor technique' that he had been thinking about ever since he entered the pit, and it took him a lot of effort to come up with it. Wang Chong had been a little uncertain at first, but now, it was clear that the minor technique he had come up with was proving to be useful. Even so, Wang Chong did not dare to be careless.
This pit was like another dangerous and unknown world, and Wang Chong's minor technique was only able to barely maintain a delicate balance in his body, making it easier for him compared to the others. But it was still not the time to relax.
No one knew what other dangers were lurking in this huge pit!
"Everyone, be careful. I'm afraid that the dangers in this pit are far from beginning."
The Evil Emperor's voice sounded in their ears. Before he finished speaking, he turned his sleeves and disappeared ahead.
Wang Chong's heart thumped, and he quickly followed.
Three thousand five hundred meters, three thousand seven hundred meters, three thousand nine hundred meters …
The pit got deeper and deeper, and breathing became more and more difficult. There were many places that looked very smooth at first glance, but once they were subjected to any force, they would immediately become very soft, like tofu dregs, and fall off easily.
"Why haven't we reached the end yet?"
Wang Chong frowned slightly, and he carefully observed his surroundings. In the darkness, he could faintly hear the sound of rocks sliding down. Wang Chong's gaze swept over, and he could faintly see a few figures continuing to climb down.
At this depth, the number of martial artists around was much lesser than at the entrance. But even so, there were still quite a number of people continuing to explore underground.
Just within the range of Wang Chong's senses, there were at least seven to eight hundred people.
Some were using swords and sabers, some were using steel ropes, and everyone was displaying their own skills. But no matter who they were, to be able to reach this position, they were all experts.
Wang Chong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued to stride forward.
It was extremely difficult to walk on the vertical walls of the pit as if it was flat ground. Once he fell, even Wang Chong did not know what other dangers awaited him, and what his chances of survival were.
Four thousand meters, five thousand meters, seven thousand meters. Looking up from this height, he could not even see the light from the entrance.
Everywhere he looked, it had become a world of darkness, and the air was filled with endless danger.
