As the Universe Turns - Chapter 448
Chapter 448 Death Storm
The surroundings instantly became incomparably quiet, and the scene of the countless ghost army relentlessly chasing after them just now formed a completely different picture.
Seeing that the surroundings were strangely quiet, everyone’s hearts hadn’t been relieved just now, but now they became nervous again. The Profound Fire Sect Master and the others looked at Wuchang Daojun, Han Tiangu, and the Underworld Fire Evil God. After all, the three of them had been to the Restricted Area more than 300 years ago.
“I don’t know where it is, but I want to be able to make those ghosts disperse … There must be an even more terrifying existence here.”
Wuchang Daojun slowly became vigilant. Back then, they were able to survive in the forbidden zone. Experience had taught him that every place here was unusual. If they were as unafraid as they were outside, they would probably not be far from death.
“Be careful and look ahead.”
Looking at the deathly silent place in front of them, a few faintly discernible strange peaks, everyone became cautious.
About a hundred miles away, the front gradually became empty. Suddenly, a strange wind blew over from somewhere, lifting up the dust on the ground, making everyone vigilant.
“Be careful … there’s something approaching!”
Daoist Gui’s gaze narrowed. He swept his gaze over the dust and immediately condensed a strand of True Qi in front of his chest. The moment he finished speaking, several storms suddenly appeared in the distance. However, seeing the storm engulfing the sky and obscuring the sun, black clouds began to surge violently in the sky.
“What is that …”
Luo Die’s face was slightly shocked. She saw that wherever the storm passed, everything was destroyed. Along with a few faintly visible peaks, they were instantly reduced to dust.
“It’s a storm of death … quickly dodge!”
Wuchang Daojun’s expression changed. No wonder those ghosts took the initiative to retreat. No wonder this place became empty. So there was actually a Death Storm!
This Death Storm was not an abnormal climate. Instead, it was the gathering of resentment from some of the Ancient Era’s dead souls. It often possessed a terrifying power that could destroy everything. Once a living creature was targeted by it, it would often be difficult to escape.
The several death storms suddenly split into dozens of strands, and they seemed to be carrying intelligence as they surrounded the crowd from different directions.
“Spread out!”
Wuchang Daojun shouted. He jumped up from the ground and pushed his palms forward. Two palms, one black and one white, instantly whistled out and struck towards a storm of death in front of him. With the help of the recoil force, he jumped back a thousand feet.
The Soul Formation cultivator’s full force strike was extremely terrifying, but after the two palms entered the center of the storm, it was like a stone sinking into a mud bog, not even a single bubble floated up.
On the other side, Daoist Blood Drink opened his mouth and spat out a blood-colored flying sword. The flying sword grew larger and larger, and finally turned into a hundred-meter-long sword. With a loud “clang” sound, it blocked the attack of the storm of death for him.
The storm was getting denser and denser. Pili Zidian, the Profound Fire Sect Master, and the others had already escaped with their tyrannical strength or magic treasures, but Xiao Chen and Luodie were still in the middle of dozens of storms.
Seeing the dozens of storms shrink and shrink, once they were all gathered together, it would be difficult for them to fly even with their wings inserted.
At this time, Luo Die clearly understood in her heart that she could no longer drag Xiao Chen down. She saw her hands quickly forming a seal and was about to turn into a purple mist to fly out. However, before she could finish casting the spell, a huge force from the sky struck her. It was actually the Unmelted Bone Palm that struck at her.
“Bang!”
There was a loud explosion. Although this palm had lost its destructive power in the storm circle and was unable to kill the Fallen Butterfly with one palm, its casting was interrupted. Its body was also uncontrollably sent flying into a storm of death. Unmelted Bone successfully used the recoil of this palm to fly out.
Luo Die’s body quickly flew into the storm of death. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, as if she was quietly waiting for death to arrive. She could not escape.
“Fallen Butterfly …”
Xiao Chen realized that she had been plotted against by the Unbreakable Bone. He flew back in an instant and hugged her from the sky. Just as the death storm was about to engulf the two of them, he struck out with the Dead Wood Dragon’s Roar and leapt backwards with the help of the recoil force.
Luo Die escaped death like a frightened little deer hiding on his body. He didn’t dare to move again. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at Boneless, who was escaping outside. Suddenly, his eyes turned fierce, “It’s not that easy for you to escape!”
Before he could finish speaking, he pointed his finger and a hundred zhang Heart Execution Flame immediately flew out. When it flew into the Death Storm on the right side of Unmelted Bone, the Death Storm immediately burst into flames and devoured Unmelted Bone in an instant.
“Let’s go!”
Regardless of whether Xiao Chen was dead or not, he hugged the Fallen Butterfly and instantly spread out the Ling Xian Step. He fled and landed near the crowd.
Everyone was still shocked. Another figure flew out of the storm circle behind them. However, it was Xiao Chen who had shadowed it for a moment before, causing it to not melt into bones.
At this moment, he flew over with a murderous aura. His clothes were scattered, but it seemed like he was in a bit of a sorry state. If he hadn’t used some powerful methods just now, he would have really died in that storm.
When he saw Xiao Chen in the crowd, killing intent surged in his eyes. His two fingers condensed and he instantly shot towards Xiao Chen like a bolt of lightning. Seeing this, Daoist Gui instantly moved to Xiao Chen and blocked Unmelted Bone’s attack. He said angrily, “What are you doing?”
“This brat just intentionally wanted to kill me” Boneless’s face was filled with killing intent as he stared fiercely at Xiao Chen with a cold gaze.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. His gaze was calm. At this moment, the Death Storm quickly gathered in the distance. Daolord Impermanence’s expression froze. “The Death Storm is coming again. Stop messing around … Let’s go!”
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately unleashed their movement techniques and fled into the distance. After escaping for three days and three nights, they finally escaped from the storm of death that followed behind them.
In front of them, they were getting closer and closer to the depths of the forbidden zone. At this moment, everyone became very careful and didn’t dare to be careless at all.
With Impermanence Daolord, Nether Fire Evil God, and Han Tiangu leading the way, they could feel that they were getting closer and closer to the forbidden area of the Ancient Devil, even though it was different from the route they had taken when they came to the forbidden area last time.
More than a month later, everyone avoided countless dangerous places. On this day, they finally crossed the Sea of Death.
At this moment, in front of everyone was an endless abyss. The black clouds in the air were heavy. It was as if an ancient devil god was staring at them, causing them to feel extremely depressed.
It was unknown where that place was, but everyone clearly understood that at this moment, they had already crossed the Sea of Death. Once they moved forward, there would be no way out.
Looking at the endless abyss, Hantian Gu’s eyes suddenly revealed a sad expression. He recalled that more than 600 years ago, his master, known as Sword Immortal Ruoshui, was one of the top experts of the Divine Devil Tomb. After 900 years of cultivation, his cultivation had reached the Cave Ruins Realm.
However, when she entered the forbidden zone, there was no news of her. She had entered the forbidden zone by herself, and then she had met several other experts. However, they had all disappeared from this place. For hundreds of years, there had been no news of her.
