…
"A god was buried here?"
The faces of Zhuowen and the others changed slightly. They could not believe it.
A god was an existence that surpassed a saint. Such an existence was beyond the shackles of the entire Heavenly Armor Continent.
"In other words, a god died in the great calamity ten thousand years ago?"
Zhuowen murmured in a low voice. He was inexplicably shocked. A god, even in his heart, was a supreme existence.
Such an existence only existed in legends.
How could they not be shocked that such a terrifying existence had been buried in the Nether Corpse Extremis?
"Is there a crack passage to the Nether Corpse Extremis in the gully?" Zhuowen asked.
"Yes!
The crack passage has always been sealed by our Jia Clan. If it is not sealed, the dead from the Nether Corpse Extremis will pass through the crack and directly appear on the Heavenly Armor Continent. This is not a good thing for the Heavenly Armor Continent, "Elder Song said.
The Yin and Yang were separated. If the dead from the Nether Corpse Extremis came to the Heavenly Armor Continent, it would cause quite a commotion.
Moreover, the dead buried in the Nether Corpse Extremis were not simple. It was no wonder that the Jia Clan was so nervous.
"Let's go. Let's go into the gully and take a look. If possible, let's eliminate the Demon Saint's resentment in the gully first," Zhuowen said.
Thus, the six of them made their preparations and left the underground world under the gazes of many members of the Jia Clan.
"The curse in the gully is at its weakest during the day. This is the best time to enter the gully," Elder Song said at the edge of the gully.
"Let's go. Let's enter the gully!"
Zhuowen did not waste any time. He summoned the Four Bronze Chariot. After everyone entered the chariot, he directed the chariot to enter the gully.
The gully was very deep. At a glance, one could not see the bottom. Powerful creatures often attacked from both sides of the gully.
However, the Four Bronze Chariot was a Profound Saint Artifact. Those creatures did not even touch the chariot before they were crushed into a bloody mist by the powerful Saint Aura.
Elder Song and Elder Yan clicked their tongues when they saw this scene. They looked at Zhuowen with even more respect.
Although the young man before them was young, his strength was extremely terrifying. In the hands of this young man, he could probably crush the two of them to death with a casual pinch.
Rumble!
The Four Bronze Chariot quickly landed at the bottom of the gully. The bottom of the gully was pitch-black, and the thick and terrifying curse power was like a cloud of smoke, spreading throughout the entire gully.
"Be careful. The air at the bottom of this gully contains the power of the curse. Don't inhale it into your body," Zhuowen said cautiously as he got off the chariot.
Jia Nan, Jia Nan, and the others nodded. They held their breaths and followed Zhuowen down the war chariot.
"Zhuowen, this ravine is huge. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find the Demon Sage's corpse," Lhos whispered.
Since the Fallen Demon Saint's resentment was in the gully, it meant that the Demon Saint's corpse was also in the gully. If he wanted to expel the resentment, he would naturally have to destroy the Demon Saint's corpse.
However, Zhuowen looked at Elder Song and said, "Elder Song, where is the crack passage in the Nether Corpse Extremity that you mentioned?"
"Young Master Zhuo, do you mean that the Demon Saint is hiding near the crack passage in the Nether Corpse Extremity?" Elder Song asked in surprise.
"It's possible. Since the Demon Saint has fallen, it means that the Demon Saint is already dead. The Nether Corpse Extremity is a paradise for the dead, so the Demon Saint's corpse must be nearby," Zhuowen said.
Elder Song and Elder Yan looked at each other. They both thought that Zhuowen's words made sense.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Elder Song and Elder Yan walked in the direction of the gully, while Zhuowen and the others followed closely behind.
Whoosh!
As they went deeper into the gully, Zhuowen keenly discovered that the surrounding curse power was getting denser. Elder Song and Elder Yan, who were leading the way, felt the pressure and their footsteps became extremely slow.
With a thought, the First Transformation Golden Rune on Zhuowen's chest burst out with golden light. It soared into the sky, and a huge golden rune appeared above his head.
As soon as the golden rune was formed, the surrounding curse power immediately dissipated with a shrill whistle.
Elder Song and Elder Yan, who were leading the way, felt the pressure on them lessen, and their footsteps became much faster.
The two old men cast a grateful look at Zhuowen and continued to lead the way.
"This is the crack passage entrance in the Nether Corpse Extremity."
The two old men stopped in front of a huge cave and turned to speak to Zhuowen and the others.
Zhuowen raised his head and stared at the cave in front of him. The cave was surrounded by piles of white bones, and the passage leading to the depths of the cave was bottomless.
"What a dense deathly aura!"
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. He could feel an extremely shocking deathly aura in the cave.
"This cave is the crack passage that leads to the Nether Corpse Extremity. According to our Jia Clan's legend, entering this cave is a matter of life and death. Even a Saint might not be able to return after entering."
Elder Song walked to the entrance of the cave and looked up and down. He then turned around and smiled. "Fortunately, the seal that our Jia Clan placed here is still intact. The Demon Saint's corpse and resentment should not be here."
Rumble!
However, Elder Song's smile only lasted for a moment. A muffled thunderous sound came from the cave. Then, a huge black shadow appeared in an instant and swallowed Elder Song with its bloody mouth.
Crunch!
Crunch!
The sound of a monster chewing resounded in the spacious cave. After swallowing Elder Song, the huge black shadow's upper and lower jaws moved as if it was eating.
The monster had a forked horn on its head like a deer's. It had a red mane from its neck to its back. Its scales were dark brown, and the scales from its waist to the back were inverted. Its legs were like a flood dragon's, and its front end was very wide.
The monster spat out wisps of illusory gas from its mouth. When the gas was spat out, it revealed all kinds of illusions.
Most of these illusions were pavilions and towers. They were luxurious like no one had ever seen before. From the windows, one could see nobles in luxurious clothes moving about. Their postures were beautiful and stunning.
Moreover, these illusions differed from person to person. Even if one was looking at the same illusion, there would be differences in the details in different people's eyes.
"This is the Ancient Fierce Beast Chi. This Chi has the ability to create all kinds of illusions. The seal of the cave that we saw earlier was intact. I'm afraid it was an illusion!" Xiao Hei could not help but exclaim in the sea of consciousness.
"Elder Song!"
From the moment the Chi appeared to the moment Elder Song was swallowed, only a moment had passed. Jia Nan and Gatha did not even have time to react. By the time they did, Elder Song had already become a meal in the Chi's stomach.
Elder Yan was relatively far away from the cave, so he was spared. However, after seeing Elder Song's fate, Elder Yan's face turned pale. He quickly fled the cave and returned to Zhuowen and the others.
"Unforgivable!
You deserve to die ten thousand times for killing Elder Song! "
Gatha's beautiful eyes were gloomy as a murderous intent surged out. It was hard to imagine that the usually gentle and amiable Gatha would reveal such a murderous expression at this moment. It was obvious how heavy of a blow Elder Song's death was to her.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying snowstorm appeared behind Gatha. Within the snowstorm, a towering figure walked over step by step. Every step caused the ground to tremble and the entire ravine to tremble.
"Kill!"
Gatha spat out these words. The huge figure was like a whirlwind as it swept towards the Chi. Then, the figure reached out with both hands, grabbed the Chi and exerted force.
Ahwoooo!
The Chi let out a miserable shriek. Immediately after, under the huge force, it collapsed into countless pieces of blood.
"As expected of the Heaven's Wrath Armoured Spirit. Its strength is terrifying!"
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. Xiao Hei had already said that the Heaven's Wrath Armoured Spirit on Gatha's body was extraordinary. Now that Gatha had become a Martial Saint, the Heaven's Wrath Armoured Spirit on her body had become even more terrifying. The Chi had been killed by her in one move.
After the Chi's death, Zhuowen realized that the scenery of the cave had changed. The cave before them was no longer as neat and orderly as before. The cave was severely damaged and the seal of the cave had long disappeared.
"What we saw just now should be an illusion spat out by the Chi. The seal of the cave has long been broken. The Chi should be the resentment of the fallen Martial Saint. Its true form should be the Chi that specializes in illusions," Lhos said seriously.
"Elder Song is dead and the seal of the cave has been broken. I wonder if there are any dead people in the Serene Corpse Extremity who will come to our side through the crack. If they do, we will be in big trouble," Old Yan said with a pale face.
"Is there any way to seal the crack in the Serene Corpse Extremity?" Zhuowen asked.
"Yes, there is. However, this method is very dangerous. The Old Ancestor of my Jia Clan once left behind a scroll. Within this scroll, there is a seal that can directly seal the crack. However, this seal can only be used to enter the depths of the cave and seal the crack."
"However, it is too dangerous because no one knows if a powerful dead person will come out from the crack. You might be attacked by the dead person while you are sealing the crack. At that time, you will die without a burial place."
Old Yan's body trembled as he spoke. He was extremely afraid as he recalled the teachings of his clan's ancestors.
"I will go. After all, this is a matter of our Jia Clan. Old Yan, pass the scroll to me," Jia Nan suddenly walked out and said seriously.
"Young master Jia Nan, you can't do that. You and Miss Gatha are the hope of our Jia Clan. Nothing can happen to you. I am already so old and have lived long enough. Let me go."
Old Yan shook his head. He had finally suppressed the fear in his heart. He took out a scroll from his Spirit Ring and planned to enter the cave.
"There is no need to argue. Pass the scroll to me. I will go in."
Suddenly, Zhuo Wen appeared beside Old Yan. He reached out with his right hand, and the scroll immediately appeared in his hand. Then, Zhuo Wen quickly rushed into the cave.
"Big brother Zhuo!"
Jia Nan and Gatha's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to follow him in, but Lhos blocked their way.
"Zhuowen has instructed that he can go in alone. The two of you should not interfere."
