As the Universe Turns - Chapter 380
Chapter 380 Abyss Ancient Cave
There was a faint layer of phosphorescence beneath the abyss, and what emitted this phosphorescence was none other than the corpses that covered the ground.
Looking around, the ground within a few miles was covered with human bones. A strange and terrifying aura immediately enveloped Wuji Shangren’s heart.
The corpses all over the ground were not the bones of ordinary people. Rather, they were experts at the Profound Comprehension Realm who were at least the same as him. They were even experts at the Lower Profound Realm who had already transformed into spirits … or even higher cultivation realms. It was impossible to estimate.
Legend has it that Mount Qiongsang had a great battle between Immortals and Devils in ancient times. Although the corpses here were not considered to be those Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas who had escaped the heavens and the earth, they could still be considered cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels. Otherwise, the bones would not have been left behind and had not yet turned into dust.
“This …”
Wuji Shangren’s heart trembled. Originally, his cultivation was not low. He was at least a Profound realm expert. However, when he saw the corpse covered in the abyss, he suddenly felt a little creepy. How did these people die?
Suddenly, a dark wind blew over from somewhere. Wuji Shangren was instantly shocked and immediately became alert. He even temporarily forgot about Xiao Chen, who was not far away.
Xiao Chen could also sense the strangeness of this place. At this moment, while Wuji Shangren was absent-minded, he secretly circulated the Genuine energy to recover as soon as possible.
After about half an incense stick of time, the gloomy wind gradually disappeared, but the faint phosphorescence of the corpse in front of him became even more strange and gloomy.
Wuji Shangren’s eyes turned cold as he glared at Xiao Chen, “Brat, do you want to live or die now?”
Xiao Chen knew what he was thinking, and while he was on guard, he said, “There’s no reason why I am doesn’t want to live since he hasn’t seen all the worlds. Senior isn’t in a hurry to kill me. Why don’t you think of a way to leave this place? Otherwise, we might both die here …”
“Alright …”
Wuji Shangren’s gaze turned cold as he looked at him and said, “If you don’t want to die, then get up. If you dare to play tricks, I will shatter your Heavenly Spirit with a single palm. Do you hear me?”
Xiao Chen secretly sneered in his heart. Old man, it turns out that you’re as bold as a mouse. Isn’t it just a gust of cold wind? What’s there to be afraid of? He thought so in his heart, but he said, “Alright, I’ll go ahead!”
“Then hurry up and leave!”
Wuji Shangren glared at him and thought to himself, “If it weren’t for you, you stinking brat, how could this old man be dragged into this damn place? When my cultivation recovers, I will definitely teach you how to live worse than die!”
“Old thing, if my cultivation had recovered, you would have already died a thousand times.”
Xiao Chen laughed coldly in his heart, but he pretended to be fine. He slowly got up and walked towards the dark place in front of him. Wuji Shangren followed carefully behind him, and he would be on guard whenever there was any wind or grass.
The two of them walked for about an incense stick of time, but they still couldn’t see the exit of the abyss. The bones on the ground made the atmosphere even more eerie and gloomy.
Suddenly, a dark wind blew out from the front, and Xiao Chen immediately stopped. Wuji Shangren also immediately stopped and stared at the front, but he could not see anything clearly.
“Kid, don’t play any tricks.”
Seeing that he suddenly stopped and didn’t leave, Wuji Shangren was afraid that there would be something in front of him. He took the opportunity to escape and said coldly, “Hand over a wisp of your soul essence.”
Xiao Chen turned around to look at him and said, “Senior and I are still in danger. Is it too early for me to hand over my soul essence to Senior?”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Wuji Shangren’s gaze turned cold. He seemed to have made up his mind and said coldly, “Hand over your soul essence. Otherwise, this old man will destroy your soul right now!”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart and said, “If Senior is confident that he can leave alone, he might as well destroy I am’s soul. However, if I am were to risk his life, Senior might not necessarily be able to obtain any benefits.”
“You …”
Wuji Shangren’s eyes turned colder and his killing intent grew heavier. However, after thinking about it carefully, what this kid said made sense. Right now, the most important thing was to think of a way to leave this place. As for this kid’s soul essence, when he recovered a little bit of his strength, he would forcefully pull out a strand of it and see where he could run to …
Thinking of this, Wuji Shangren coldly snorted, “This old man is right behind you. If you dare to play any tricks and kill you with one palm, hurry up and leave!”
“Heh …”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. He continued to walk towards the secluded place in front of him, and along the way, he saw corpses all over the ground. It was really hard to imagine what had happened here in the past. How could there be so many corpses piled up here? Furthermore, these people were not ordinary people. If they were here today, which one of them would not be a supreme expert from the trembling side?
After walking for another incense stick of time, there was a faint light in front of him. Occasionally, there would be waves of dark winds pouncing over. His voice was as low as a ghost’s roar, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
“Senior, up ahead … seems to be a dead end.”
“Stop talking nonsense and continue walking!”
Wuji Shangren let out a shrill shout, and the further he walked, the more terrifying the atmosphere became, causing him to become more and more vigilant.
Xiao Chen sneered and continued walking forward. Finally, not long after, a cave appeared in front of him. Outside the cave, there were weeds and rocks. It looked like it had been a long time.
That terrifying aura came from the cave, but it was pitch-black inside, and even his divine sense was unable to detect it.
Wuji Shangren stopped. He didn’t dare to rashly enter such a strange cave. He stared at Xiao Chen and said in a low voice, “You, go in and take a look!”
Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “What if there are poisonous snakes and fierce tigers in that cave? Didn’t Senior tell me to send me to my death?” At this point, he sneered, “Also, isn’t Senior afraid of me running away?”
“Cut the crap! I’ll let you in!”
Wuji Shangren shouted coldly. Right now, he only needed to recover three more Success Points to forcefully extract a strand of Xiao Chen’s Soul Essence. At this time, he wasn’t afraid of the other party’s tricks. He was afraid that there was something inside the cave that gave him a depressing and dull feeling.
“Heh …”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. He strode into the cave. Naturally, he could sense what was inside the cave. However, he had no choice but to enter. He had only recovered 30% of his strength. He was far from being Wuji Shangren’s opponent.
Inside the pitch-black cave, Xiao Chen immediately felt a trace of the weak formation Spiritual Energy. From the outside, the cave was pitch-black, but when he entered, his vision immediately became clear. Following the formation Spiritual Energy’s senses, he immediately found the six formations at the entrance of the cave. It should be some kind of restriction formation, but Wuji Shangren was completely unaware of it.
“Kid, do you see anything?”
Wuji Shangren’s voice was cold and deep, and he was still on guard in the distance.
There were many taboos in these strange places, so he had already made up his mind. If something terrifying really came out of that cave later, he would immediately escape. As for the precious cultivation techniques on this kid, at most, he wouldn’t have to. Anyway, after entering Mount Qiongsang, he might be able to find some better treasures in this mountain.
