As the Universe Turns - Chapter 451
Chapter 451 Paradoxical Tomb
“The Demonic Habitat … what kind of place is it?”
Xiao Chen took two steps forward and looked at the strange mountain peaks in the distance. His gaze gradually became serious.
“Once, we were here …”
As Wuchang Daojun spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and recalled the scene back then. Ten people broke into the Demonic Habitat. Due to greed in their hearts, their opinions were divided. They had selfishness and even fought with each other. In the end, they almost died here.
The Demonic Habitat was also a very terrifying forbidden area within the forbidden area. Some of the ancient divine and demonic thoughts had survived and lingered here for a long time. Therefore, this place had become the “Demonic Habitat” that the world referred to as the “Demonic Habitat”.
It was precisely because those divine and demonic thoughts were left behind that some people became greedy, wanting to devour these thoughts and comprehend those peerless divine arts that had been lost since ancient times.
However, they did not expect that this place would be filled with traps. Once they entered, they would only sink deeper and deeper, and eventually be devoured by those divine and demonic thoughts.
Everyone knew how terrifying this place was, but they couldn’t control their desires. As a result, someone said, “I’ll just take a look and leave. I won’t disturb the remnant souls of the gods and devils here.”
However, the truth was that when he took the first step, his greed would become even more unscrupulous in his heart, and it would be difficult to turn back. In the end, he would be reduced to the bones of this place.
If one person disturbed the souls of the gods and devils here, then everyone else would most likely be killed by this person. Don’t think about it if it isn’t yours. Even if an ancient cultivation technique is placed in a cave, don’t take it. Once you take it, you won’t be able to leave this place again if you are possessed by a dead soul.
After listening to Wuchang Daojun’s explanation of the taboos here, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. It was as if there were undead wrapped around their backs, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
“Amitabha …”
Ku Chanzi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to chant the Buddhist verse.
After a while, Pili Zidian looked around the crowd and said coldly, “From now on, no one can leave alone, let alone those ancient cultivation methods. I wonder what everyone thinks?”
“I agree with Sect Master Thunderbolt.”
At this moment, Daoist Blood Drink walked up and looked at the crowd. He said, “The souls of the gods and devils here cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, once their resentment is entangled, no one will be able to leave. No matter what is here, don’t think about it. If you are careful, you will be able to pass through.”
After a moment of silence, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus, with Wuchang Daojun and Daoist Gui leading the way, followed by the rest.
Three days later, the group still hadn’t passed through the Demonic Habitat. A layer of mist gradually enveloped the surroundings. Everyone became even more cautious and didn’t dare to disturb the souls here.
There were many caves and enormous graves here. They were very old. Some of the graves had been dug up, some had slowly weathered over time, and a very small portion had been preserved relatively intact.
There were graves of Gods and Devils buried there. This kind of thing was already very strange. It was unknown whether it was true or false. There were also rumors that these graves were for the sake of concealment. The truth was that there were people who buried living people in these graves to offer sacrifices to the heavens back then.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish …”
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from some unknown direction, causing everyone’s minds to become focused and nervously alert.
“What sound …”
“Shh, don’t worry, let’s go …”
Everyone continued to walk cautiously. However, the sound was like a shadow following behind them. They could not be seen or touched, but they were always following behind them. Especially now that night was approaching, there were graves everywhere. The ghostly aura was so dense that it made one’s hair stand on end.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Chen saw that Luo Die’s face was deathly pale, as if she had seen a ghost. His body trembled slightly, and he stopped.
“Don’t stop … Let’s go.”
Luo Die lowered her voice to a very low pitch. It turned out that she and Xiao Chen were walking at the end, and she always felt that something was following behind them. Naturally, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
“You go ahead of me.”
Xiao Chen looked at her. He wasn’t afraid of any evil spirits. Whether it was an ancient god, an immortal, or a devil, he had already died for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that he was more terrifying than the living?
The fog around them became heavier and heavier. Before dark, everyone had to find a place to stay. Otherwise, if they traveled at night, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t encounter anything strange. There were countless ancient cultivation methods in the Demonic Habitat. If they were lucky enough to find one, then they would be able to bring one out. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to take it away.
At this moment, if the ten Soul Formation cultivators didn’t have any desire in their hearts, it was impossible. It was just like how mortals could not bear to hide one or two pieces of gold in their bosom when they saw the ground full of gold.
When it was almost dark, the surroundings suddenly trembled violently, as if something was about to emerge from the ground. Stones fell from the cliffs on both sides, cracks appeared on the cliffs, and the ground began to crack, forming pitch-black cracks that were bottomless.
“Let’s go!”
Daoist Gui swept through the dust and shook off the falling boulders. Everyone immediately ran forward. However, the surroundings became more and more violent, and every road was blocked. It was as if there was something that wanted to trap everyone in this cemetery.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
The strange sound gradually approached, and the sky became darker and darker. Just as everyone was panicking for a path, a strange path suddenly appeared in the forest in front of them. However, when they saw that the path was cramped, only one person was allowed to walk, but they did not know where to go.
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately rushed in. They only wanted to quickly escape from this place, but they didn’t care if there was a path of no return in front of them.
When it was dark, everyone finally ran to the end of the path. Under the dim light, they saw an open tomb in front of them.
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb. It turned out that the path that suddenly appeared wasn’t to save them, but to lure them to this tomb … But who was buried in the tomb?
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Seeing the god and demon souls chasing after them, the crowd no longer cared that much. Daoist Gui swept his gaze over the dust and flew forward, “Enter the tomb!”
The group of people immediately entered the tomb. The god and demon souls outside seemed to be afraid of something. They finally stopped and did not dare to approach any further.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the tomb suddenly turned pitch black. However, the door to the tomb suddenly closed, startling everyone who was still in shock.
Pili Zidian immediately condensed a ball of Genuine energy and illuminated the surroundings. However, everyone’s faces turned pale. Even though they had already reached the Soul Formation realm, they were still insignificant when they arrived at a place like the God and Demon Tomb Forbidden Domain.
