As the Universe Turns - Chapter 401
Chapter 401 Abyss of Gods and Devils
“Squeak … squeak!”
The Azure Beast moved like lightning. Seeing Xiao Chen chasing after it, its speed reached its limit. Even in this dark night, its pair of azure eyes could still see the night as if it were day, and it could travel unhindered through this complicated terrain.
As soon as Xiao Chen caught up, he saw its shadow flash and disappear. It was like this until midnight. A crescent moon gradually rose in the sky. The cold moonlight was like frost, and the cold wind became even colder. It was unknown where it was.
“Squeak … squeak!”
The Jade Snow Beast was still running desperately. After chasing it for a day and night, it still seemed to be full of energy and didn’t feel tired at all. It seemed that its cultivation wasn’t shallow, but Xiao Chen was chasing after it. He felt that there was something strange in front of him. Only now did he suddenly realize that he had chased after the Jade Snow Beast and seemed to have reached the depths of this unknown mountain range.
He didn’t know what was in front of him, but it gradually gave him a feeling that he couldn’t breathe. Under the boundless darkness, the mountain peaks stretched out endlessly, adding a bit of gloominess and strangeness.
“Squeak … squeak!”
The green beast’s figure flickered as it shuttled through the mountains under the darkness. Xiao Chen chased after it and finally arrived at the edge of a cliff. Further ahead was the abyss. The green beast had no way out and finally stopped. Its dark green eyes were staring at Xiao Chen, and its entire body couldn’t help but tremble.
“I only took a few drops of your blood, but I don’t want your life. Why are you running so fast? You actually let me chase you for a day and night …”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked closer and closer. The Jade Snow Beast’s entire body trembled even more violently. Its pair of eyes looked at him, and it actually covered its front claw in its heart. It shook its head at him continuously, not knowing if it was praying for his life or something else.
Xiao Chen found it interesting. He thought to himself that this little demonic beast was actually intelligent and knew how to shake his head. However, he didn’t dare to take it lightly at this moment. He could feel that there must be something underneath the abyss that gave him a depressing feeling. The closer he got to the cliff, the heavier this strange feeling became.
Seeing that he was still approaching, the Jade Snow Beast trembled even more violently. Suddenly, it cried out, pointing its paw at the bottom of the cliff, and then it shook its hand at him, as if it was warning him not to get any closer.
“Interesting …”
This time, Xiao Chen felt that this little demonic beast was even more interesting. He also wanted to see what exactly was beneath the cliff, making the Jade Snow Beast look as if it was not afraid of him at this moment, but of the bottom of the abyss.
As soon as Ling Xian Step unfolded, Xiao Chen instantly rushed over and pressed down on the Jade Snow Beast. The Jade Snow Beast’s entire body trembled in fear. It hurriedly covered its eyes with its claws and didn’t dare to look at the bottom of the cliff again.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was also stunned. Ever since he came out of Xuanqing Sect, he had never seen such a terrifying scene before, whether it was going to Immortal North Ancient Realm or the mysterious Oriental Cultivation World.
The black mist beneath the abyss surged like an ancient great devil. Looking around, the black mist was boundless, enveloping the entire abyss. The scene was extremely terrifying.
“This is …”
Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. At this moment, he felt an extremely heavy devil aura, just like that night at sea when he saw thousands of immortal devil god and buddha shadows surrounding him.
But at this moment, this devil aura gave him an indescribable pressure. What exactly was beneath this abyss?
There was such a strange place in the Eastern Cultivation World, could it be that no one had noticed it?
The aura of the gods and devils here was so heavy, could it be that the people of the Immortal Alliance didn’t care? If he allowed this devil aura to spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more shocked he became. He suddenly remembered many ancient legends. Most of them were about the great battles between immortals and devils. There were also the thousands of immortal and devilish god and buddha shadows that he suddenly saw at sea that night. Could the god and devilish aura here be …
“Squeak … squeak!”
Suddenly, the Jade Snow Beast grabbed onto his arm and became extremely panicked. Its entire body trembled. Demonic beasts were usually more sensitive to danger than cultivators. Xiao Chen looked at it now, not as if it was afraid of being caught by him, but more as if it was afraid of being caught by the cliff.
“Forget it.”
Xiao Chen slowly moved away from the cliff to prevent the Jade Snow Beast from struggling randomly due to fear. He looked at it and said, “I only took a few drops of your blood, not injuring your life. After I took the blood, I’ll let you go. How about it?”
“Squeak … Squeak …”
The Jade Snow Beast seemed to be able to understand his words. It nodded its head with a trembling expression. Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He took out his dagger and gently cut a small opening in its front paw. After taking out half a bottle of blood, he placed it on the ground.
Once the green beast was untied, it kicked its feet and flew through the forest. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Xiao Chen watched as it disappeared into the forest and gradually frowned. Demonic beasts’ instincts were often very sharp. What exactly was beneath the cliff? How could it be enveloped by such a large expanse of divine and demonic aura? Things seemed to be unusual.
He once again arrived at the edge of the cliff and saw the black fog rolling down below. Even birds could not fly through the valley. If it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to withstand the terrifying aura of the Fiendgods here. If they accidentally fell, they would probably be corroded by the dense aura of the Fiendgods. In an instant, they would not even be able to get their bones out.
“Could this be …”
Suddenly, he remembered something. The Evil Demon King was the only person who had come out of the God Demon Tomb in recent years when he passed through the Ancient Planet Road. He also had a trace of the Evil Demon Qi on his body. And now, the thick Evil Demon Qi beneath the cliff seemed to be somewhat similar to the one on the Evil Demon King’s body.
However, no matter what, he didn’t want to cause any trouble right now. His injuries were still three points away. Now that Bi Qing Xue had obtained it, he needed to return to the valley as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen did not hesitate and immediately left the cliff. It was only three days later that he returned to the valley where he and Luo Die were. This time, he had left for a total of seven days. Luo Die should have picked up all the medicines he needed. Now, all he needed was the Jade Sapphire Blood in his hand.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Chen could smell the scent of medicine from afar. He walked closer and saw that there were several medicine furnaces burning with open flames in the courtyard, but there were no falling butterflies. The two thatched cottages were still tightly shut.
“Fallen butterfly?”
For some reason, when Xiao Chen arrived in the courtyard, he discovered that his divine sense had been blocked by a Spiritual Energy. He immediately became alert. Not long after, the voice of the Fallen Butterfly came from the room. “You … you’re back.”
“What are you doing inside? The medicine is almost done …”
“Wait … Wait, I’ll be right out.”
Luo Die’s voice seemed to tremble slightly. At this moment, Xiao Chen frowned. Without thinking, two more Blood Transformation Needles appeared in his hand and shot into the room with a “whoosh” sound.
