Inside the bars, crimson blood was dripping from the Demon Restraining Rope.
The Demon Restraining Rope was as thick as an arm, engraved with countless restraining runes, completely black in color.
The monster was occasionally howling and struggling, dragging the Demon Restraining Rope along with the monster's movements to hit the wall, giving off a heavy metallic sound.
But the Demon Restraining Rope had already pierced through the monster's body, tightly binding it to the wall, while the other end of the rope pierced deep into the underground prison wall.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the monster.
A human?
That was the first thought he had.
But when he took a closer look, it wasn't.
Compared to a human, this monster had no skin.
Red muscles were exposed, occasionally white bones could be seen.
A pair of vertical pupils.
A mouth full of long, sharp teeth, a mouth that stretched all the way to the bottom of its ears.
No eyes.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the monster and fell into thought.
Unlike the Desolate Demon Eye, this monster was clearly more human-like.
Roar — — -
The monster roared in a frenzy towards Gu Qing Shan.
The Chao Yin sword flashed.
The monster's head was decapitated.
The sound was immediately silenced.
Sensing the monster's death, the Demon Restraining Rope separated from the monster's body.
Gu Qing Shan jumped over the bars and began to dismember the monster.
This monster's blood seemed to contain some sort of corrosive liquid. The Chao Yin sword let out a slight 'wu wu' sound.
Gu Qing Shan heard it right away.
He decided not to use his sword and directly activated the sword qi in his eyes, manifesting it as sharp sword qi in the void of space and began to cut open the monster's body layer by layer.
A sharp sword qi cut open the monster's abdomen, followed a straight line upwards until the entire chest cavity was cut open.
— — the monster's chest cavity was smooth and flat, occasionally moving a bit to form wrinkles that quickly disappeared.
No organs?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused.
His gaze fell onto his finger.
A small cut appeared on his finger.
Gu Qing Shan squeezed out a drop of his own blood and dripped it into the monster's chest cavity.
In a split second, the monster's chest cavity began to move like crazy!
If the monster's head hadn't fallen off, Gu Qing Shan would have thought that the monster would come back to life.
"Looks like the entire chest cavity and abdominal cavity are digestive organs. This is completely different from humans." Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Unconsciously, Gu Qing Shan heaved a sigh of relief.
The next step was easy. Gu Qing Shan casually stacked the monster's body neatly together.
He walked back to the fence and activated the formation that he had set up earlier.
The monster's corpse was immediately teleported out.
The first monster was slaughtered.
Gu Qing Shan walked to the next fence.
There was still a monster trapped inside, but it was no longer humanoid. Instead, it was a body made up of 16 connected heads.
Hmm …
It would be difficult for cultivators to eat this kind of thing.
Gu Qing Shan thought as she looked at him.
Streaks of arc-shaped sword shadows shot out from his eyes, slashing through the air and slicing the monsters into pieces.
He activated the teleportation circle again.
The monster's corpse disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI.
His Soul Points had increased quite a bit.
Seems like according to the War God UI's standard, the monsters of this 1st floor aren't any weaker than Gu Qing Shan.
There were a total of 18 floors in this underground prison.
… What kind of monsters would be down there?
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Thaumaturgy Quest again.
Below the Thaumaturgy Quest, there was a number: 2.
This means I've killed two monsters.
98 monsters left, I can activate my new Thaumaturgy.
Gu Qing Shan walked to the third fence.
…
About half an incense's worth of time later.
The 35 monsters on the 1st floor were cleanly dissected by Gu Qing Shan.
He stood at the entrance to the next floor.
There was a strange spell formation here that only allowed humans to pass through, and no other beings were allowed to pass through.
Although he had 5 days, only the Soul Points he obtained was the most reliable Soul Points, and only the Quest he completed was the perfect Quest. Gu Qing Shan didn't waste any time and went straight through the entrance.
The monsters on this floor were still the same, they might have been very powerful at their peak, but now they were nothing but waiting to be slaughtered.
21 monsters were carefully and seriously slaughtered by Gu Qing Shan.
The 3rd floor …
It wasn't until the 9th floor that Gu Qing Shan stopped.
Although there were only 9 monsters here, they were clearly a lot stronger than before.
Gu Qing Shan used [Iris Sword], the sword qi only left a white mark on the monster's body, and even the white mark quickly disappeared.
If these monsters were at their peak, a single one of them would be enough to chase after Gu Qing Shan.
Looking at the tied up monster, Gu Qing Shan used [Heart Sword] at full power.
The monster trembled, then froze in place.
[Heart Sword] had destroyed the monster's consciousness.
The Chao Yin sword lightly swung.
The monster's head fell.
The dissection continued.
His Soul Points continued to grow.
The Quest continued to be completed.
The 10th floor.
The 11th floor.
The 12th floor.
The further down he went, the quieter it became.
When the monsters saw him, they no longer roared or screamed in desire.
At the 13th floor, the 3 Desolate monsters here only silently stared at Gu Qing Shan, as if evaluating him.
This place was completely different from the previous underground prison.
Blood that came from an unknown place was flowing on the ground, enough to cover a person's knees.
This place wasn't very spacious, the entire floor and every wall was engraved with runes and formations.
Seven or eight Demon Trapping Chains pierced through the bodies of the three monsters at the same time and tied them to the wall.
— — The entire thirteenth floor was a large-scale imprisonment formation.
These three monsters had humanoid shapes, but they had a sharp horn on their head, their faces were devoid of any muscles, their bones were completely exposed.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the air.
He swung the Chao Yin sword with all his strength.
7-8 cold gleaming sword phantoms flew out and slashed the neck of one of the monsters.
The sword phantoms disappeared.
There wasn't even a white mark left on the monster's neck.
Gu Qing Shan didn't give up and used [Water Flow Severance], [Crescent Slash], [Seven Stars Flowing Dragon], [Drawn Shadow], [Swallow Returns], [Torrent], [Silver Star], and [Life Seeker] to attack the monster.
The 8 Secret Arts all struck the monster's body, causing it to let out a low grunt.
「 Ah … 」
The monster's body slightly trembled.
A faint white mark finally appeared on its body.
This white mark only lasted for the blink of an eye before disappearing without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and put his sword away.
With my Cryptic realm cultivation, I can only make it to the 13th floor.
If these three monsters were in perfect condition, they would most likely be able to turn the world upside down in the outside world.
I can't imagine how powerful a cultivator would have to be to be able to capture them.
Xie Gu Hong should be able to.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought. He sat down cross-legged in the air and began to meditate.
At this point, he had collected a huge amount of Soul Points, at least a million.
Spending a bit of Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan comprehended the Cryptic realm scripture.
His breakthrough began.
He stood in the middle of the 13th floor of the prison, hovering above the blood tide, facing the three terrifying Desolate monsters and began to break through a minor realm.
Time slowly passed.
An incense stick's worth of time later, he opened his eyes.
Cryptic middle stage was achieved.
Because he had killed over 100 Desolate monsters, his Thaumaturgy Quest had also been completed.
Lines of glowing text were showing up on the War God UI.
[You've completed the Thaumaturgy Quest: Lightning of Life]
[You may now awaken the fourth level of the Lightning Thaumaturgy: Dreamjolt]
[Dreamjolt: When touched by your Lightning spirit energy, the target's consciousness will enter a brief dreamscape with the Lightning, causing them to lose control of their body until 5 seconds later]
[Description: This is the advanced Thaumaturgy of the triple-layered Lightning of Life [Loss Control], [Paralysis], and [Severance], no living being is immune to it]
Gu Qing Shan read through the glowing text in front of him and sighed deeply.
He felt a sense of satisfaction.
To complete this Thaumaturgy Quest, under normal circumstances, I'll have to slowly kill them on the battlefield.
I don't even know when I'll be able to complete it.
It's all thanks to this slaughterhouse that I was able to obtain such a powerful Thaumaturgy.
However, speaking of slaughterhouses, Gu Qing Shan was full of questions.
Starting from the first floor, Gu Qing Shan felt that this place was most likely used for sealing.
Because they couldn't be killed, they were sealed.
In fact, Gu Qing Shan had already noticed this on the 12th floor.
When the five monsters on the 12th floor were attacked, a twisted mark would automatically appear on their bodies.
The Chao Yin sword couldn't pierce through that mark at all.
Gu Qing Shan had to rely on the Six Paths Great Mountain sword's anti-magic Thaumaturgy to kill those five monsters.
When they died, they looked like they couldn't believe their eyes.
— — -they couldn't believe that they were killed.
But now, on the 13th floor, even the Six Paths Great Mountain sword couldn't pierce through the thick defensive barrier on the surface of those monsters' bodies.
This was pure power suppression — — which meant that they were countless times stronger than Gu Qing Shan!
Gu Qing Shan also realized this and gave up on killing those monsters.
But he quickly realized something else.
This was only the 13th floor, and there were a total of 18 floors here.
— — -I really can't imagine what kind of Desolate monsters are sealed on the 18th floor.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, a voice resounded in his ears.
「 How interesting, this little guy killed his way down here 」
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He tried his best to keep his expression unchanged, lowered his eyes, and pretended to be in thought, as if he didn't hear this voice at all.
Another voice spoke up: 「 We eat them, they also eat us, that's fair 」
Following that, another voice spoke up:
「 Because you weren't eaten, you think it's fair 」
The three trapped monsters on the wall began to whisper to each other.
