Chapter 652

There was no end to the long and narrow rift. In front of them, countless ancient corpses were staggering out from the depths.

Some of these corpses were covered in rotten flesh, and some only had skeletons left.

Whimpering sounds came from their mouths. Wherever they went, their murderous auras were monstrous. Even the sky darkened because of them.

Gu Chen and the eight villains concealed their auras and carefully walked along the edge of the cliff, afraid of attracting the attention of the ancient corpses.

They had been deep in the rift for five days, and the number and scale of the ancient corpses they saw made their mood heavier.

This was already an army of specters, more than fifty thousand in number. Many of the leaders were once famous experts of the Immortal Spirit Continent.

Green Refinement Immortal School's Yuwen Jue, Gui Yuan Immortal School's Xiong Wu, Moon Palace's Goddess Ji Yuan, Heavenly Law Sect's Daoist Immoral …

The eight villains recognized many of them. They had once defeated all the geniuses of their generation and left a deep mark in history.

They mysteriously disappeared in their later years, but now, they were resurrected as ancient corpses. They walked out of the Heaven Pit's earth eye as if they wanted to sweep into the world of the living.

Gu Chen's group chose to avoid these powerful experts for fear of attracting their attention.

They went deeper and deeper into the rift. Once they fought with any of the ancient corpses, there was a possibility of facing a corpse tide.

Gu Chen's Purple Extreme Pupils gazed into the distance. Each time, he would first avoid the dangerous characters among the ancient corpses. When he encountered one that he had to face, everyone would attack together to quickly end the battle.

The eight villains were investigating to understand the scale of the corpse tide, while Gu Chen was searching for his father's whereabouts.

He carefully inspected each corpse, afraid that his father would appear among them.

Since ancient times, countless cultivators had entered the Heaven Pit's earth eye to find fortunes. But now, they had all turned into ancient corpses and left for unknown reasons. His father might not be an exception.

"The heaven and earth's essence energy is getting thinner and thinner. Our consumption is getting worse."

"The number of ancient corpses is also increasing. We won't be able to find a path to avoid them."

After traveling for more than ten days into the Heaven Pit's earth eye, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.

They didn't dare to relax for even a second. From time to time, they would see powerful ancient corpses exuding astonishing auras. This was a huge test to their minds and bodies.

"How far are we from the Heaven Sinkhole and the Earth Eye?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

"There's only one day left, but because we have to avoid the zombie hordes, it'll actually take about five days. What I'm most worried about is that the road ahead will be blocked. If that's the case, we can only turn back. "

Old Tan replied.

"If you want to leave, you can do so at any time."

Gu Chen said and continued to walk forward. The white ape tiptoed beside him, also very cautious. Obviously, even the little guy did not want to provoke the group of corpses.

"Humph! Does this brat think that we will be afraid?" one of the evil men said in dissatisfaction.

"If you complain less, others won't think that way." Ruan Ji shook his head.

"Speaking of which, where did this brat come from? He's so young, his strength isn't weak, and his temper is also quite arrogant. He's definitely not a nobody. That Chen Gu is most likely an alias. "

The Eight Great Villains discussed quietly. For the past ten days, they had traveled together with Gu Chen. His strength had gained their unanimous approval.

"The Old Man has already guessed his identity."

"I guessed it as well."

Old Tan and a few others smiled. During the dangerous journey, they had seen Gu Chen fight and knew his background. They also understood why he was so determined to find the Gu clan member.

"Who is he?" Those who did not know yet asked curiously. The others deliberately kept them in suspense and did not say anything.

Two days later, after Gu Chen had killed a wave of ancient corpses, the bottleneck in his body had naturally broken through. He had advanced from the peak of the mid Dharma stage to the late Dharma stage.

At this moment, his expression changed, and he stopped where he was.

"What's wrong?"

The Eight Great Villains sensed the unstable aura in his body and asked in surprise.

There were ancient corpses all around them. Such an obvious aura fluctuation could easily attract the zombie hordes.

"I need to rest for a while."

Gu Chen answered with an ugly expression. He asked everyone to protect him while he focused on the condition of his body.

These days, because of the pressure from the ancient corpses, his cultivation had naturally broken through. The nine-colored energy in his dantian had instantly increased, causing the conflict between it and the Heavenly Bone to become even more obvious.

Ever since the Heavenly Bone had been repaired, this problem had always existed. Previously, it had not been a big problem, and he had forcibly controlled it.

Now that he had broken through to the late Dharma stage, the problem had become even more serious. The two different forces in his body clashed with each other, causing his aura to become unstable.

He mobilized a huge amount of mental strength and used all his strength to suppress the conflict between the two forces.

After a full four hours, he finally managed to control the situation in his body, but his expression was gloomy.

Although he had controlled it, he had to divide some of his strength to suppress it. Although his cultivation had broken through to the late Dharma stage, the power that he could mobilize had become weaker.

As long as he tried to mobilize 655% of his strength, the Heavenly Bone and the Dharma Power would clash violently, causing chaos in his body. In the best case scenario, he would go berserk, and in the worst case scenario, he would explode and die!

"Damn it, why is this problem happening now!"

Gu Chen's expression was gloomy. He was not far from the crater. The danger was increasing, but his strength had been weakened.

"Should we continue forward?"

Everyone could see that Gu Chen's situation was not right, and they looked at each other.

Gu Chen gritted his teeth and nodded. They had already come this far. How could he be satisfied if he did not take a look at the crater's situation?

Everyone continued forward, and finally, after a day and a half, they could see the crater's eye from afar.

Where the crater was, the sky was like a black hole, swallowing all the light. Below it was a vast, endless abyss, so dark that the bottom could not be seen.

The terrain was rapidly descending, and there was no flat area. There were cracks and faults everywhere!

"What kind of disaster would have formed such a place?"

Although it was not the first time they had seen it from afar, Elder Tan and the others still sighed.

Gu Chen was even more shocked. No wonder it was called the Giant Sinkhole Earth Hole. Even a 65,555-feet-tall giant couldn't create such a huge black hole in the ground. He didn't know how deep the Giant Sinkhole was.

At this time, from the edge of the crater, ancient corpses kept crawling out. They moved slowly, but their goal was the same, and they were heading outside.

Because the rift in front of them had become extremely narrow, the ancient corpses squeezed the road so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through. Gu Chen and the others could not move forward.

"This is as far as we can go. Any further would be suicide."

Many of the evil men smiled bitterly. Although they were not afraid of death, they did not want to die in vain.

Gu Chen looked at the crater from afar and closed his eyes.
