As the Universe Turns - Chapter 453
Chapter 453 Heart Demon Illusion
Everyone’s expressions became serious. It was as if they were being stared at by something behind them. They were always uncomfortable. It was unknown who left behind the words in this tomb, and they had a long history. As for whether what was said above was true or false, there was no way to trace it. If it was just a legend, then it would be fine, but what if it was true?
Because the crowd didn’t dare to let down their guard, Daoist Gui stepped forward and asked Xiao Chen with a frown, “Little friend, take a look again. What … is written next?”
Xiao Chen looked at the words on the stone wall again. His eyebrows gradually furrowed as he read, “Reincarnated …”
“Reincarnated?”
Everyone was shocked. Among the reincarnated people, only Wuchang Daojun, Netherfire, and Han Tiangu’s expressions changed.
Luodie Ningmei asked, “Is it that twelve-fingered Heart Demon … Is he looking for a reincarnated person?”
Xiao Chen did not answer. He walked closer to the stone wall. The tomb was quite old, and many of the words on the stone wall had almost fallen off. He looked for a long time before saying, “He wants to find a reincarnated person for the spirit left behind by the twelve-fingered Heart Demon in the mortal world.”
When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked. What reincarnated person? It can’t be, is it the reincarnation of the High God? That High God used the Primordial Taboo Great Art, and his body and spirit had long since been destroyed. He was unable to even enter Samsara. Since that was the case, how could he be a reincarnated person?
Daoist Gui asked, “It says, what reincarnation?”
“No.”
Xiao Chen shook his head, “The words behind are gone. It only says that the twelve-fingered Heart Demon wants to find a reincarnated person …”
The tomb became silent. Everyone was silent. The expressions of Wuchang Daojun, Netherflame, and Han Tiangu became even uglier.
Xiao Chen looked at them and said, “Three hundred years ago, the one who took your hearts should be this twelve-fingered Heart Demon …”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but tremble. Even though they had already guessed a bit, hearing Xiao Chen say it, they were still a little frightened.
The rest of them didn’t expect that three out of ten Soul Formation cultivators who entered the forbidden zone three hundred years ago would walk out alive. That demon was the soul recorded on the stone wall that the twelve-fingered Heart Demon had left behind in the mortal world …
Just a single soul was so powerful, just how terrifying was its true body?
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. What about the top experts from the Demon God Tomb who had reached the Cave Ruins Realm more than 600 years ago? After they entered the forbidden zone, there was no news of them from now on. Where did they go? Could it be that he’s already dead …
Everyone began to hesitate. Before coming to the forbidden zone, even though they knew that there was a terrifying demon inside, they did not hesitate to enter. However, at this moment, they became a little hesitant. Should they continue to walk forward?
The Twelve-fingered Heart Demon’s Three Corpse Demon was so powerful that even the gods of the Heaven Realm couldn’t escape. Even the gods of the Heaven Realm would gradually lose their minds and enter the Devil Realm to the point of sacrificing the lives of three million people …
Thunderbolt Violet Lightning saw everyone’s expressions and suddenly said coldly, “From the moment we stepped in, there was no way to retreat. No matter what was in front of us, if we want to live, we can only move forward. What’s there to be afraid of …”
Before he could finish speaking, the entire tomb suddenly trembled violently. Dust fell from the top of the tomb. Everyone’s expressions tightened. Thunderbolt Violet Lightning also jumped in fright, “Who! Who is it!”
However, it only shook for a moment, and there was no reaction in the tomb. Everyone slowly regained their senses. Seeing that Pili Zidian was more nervous than anyone else, they felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
“Nothing …”
Pili Zidian coughed twice. As an embarrassment, he turned around and looked into the depths of the tomb. It was pitch black inside, and there was no end to it. He didn’t know how deep the tomb was. Daoist Gui stepped forward and said, “Do you want to take a look?”
Right now, it was impossible for everyone to open the stone door of the tomb and walk back. They could only walk forward to see if they could pass through this demonic habitat. Ji Wuyan nodded and said, “Let’s take a look. Perhaps we can find a way out. Be careful.”
“Alright.”
Everyone had no objection. They immediately went deeper into the tomb. After walking for two hours, they discovered that this place was not only a tomb, it was more like a ruin that had been lost for a long time and could not see the sun. Many dilapidated palace buildings were floating in the air, as if they had suffered a devastating blow.
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but think of the vast ancient ruins that he found when he went to Immortal North Ancient Realm and crossed the Desert of Death when he was sucked into the ground by Wild Sand. It was somewhat similar to this place.
Although many of the things in these ruins had already been weathered over a long period of time, it was still impossible to conceal the fact that the Immortal Primordial Ancient Land of the past had one of the most prosperous and pinnacle eras that could not be compared to the present.
It was an era where experts fought against the heavens and earth, against the gods and devils. However, that era had already been annihilated, forever becoming history, leaving behind only a few remnants.
Looking at these ancient ruins in the tomb, even if everyone had already reached the Soul Formation stage, it was still difficult for them to not feel the slightest ripple in their hearts at this moment.
Only at dawn did the group walk out of the tomb. The terrain in front of them was flat and wide, no longer as bizarre and rugged as before. In the distance, deep in the clouds, there were mountain peaks that could be vaguely seen. It was unknown where they would lead to.
After what happened last night, the crowd did not turn around. They walked all the way, only wanting to leave the Demonic Habitat as soon as possible, in case the souls of the gods and devils wrapped around them during the night.
After walking for five days and five nights, everyone finally left the Demonic Habitat. Today was early August, and it was autumn outside. However, there was no change of seasons inside the Demonic God Tomb. There was only endless silence.
“Be careful, we may have already entered the twelve-fingered Heart Demon’s domain …”
Daolord Impermanence suddenly stopped. The Underworld Fire Evil God and Hantian Gu also immediately stopped. The three of them came here again and did not dare to be careless. Although they were on a different route from last time, they still remembered that they had encountered the Ancient Devil not long after they left the Demonic Habitat.
Daoist Gui, Ji Wuyan, and the others remained silent. If they had a choice, they hoped that they would not meet the twelve-fingered Heart Demon. They would then safely pass through this place, go to the other side of the forbidden zone, find a crack, and finally think of a way to get out.
As long as they left the God Devil Tomb, they would no longer have any scruples. With their Divine Transformation cultivation, once they left, no one could easily take their lives, let alone walk around the Heaven Realm. However, in the God Devil Tomb, in front of the twelve-fingered Heart Devil, they could be said to be weaker than ants.
Twilight fell on this day. Everyone had already left the Demonic Habitat far away. They did not know where they were now. Under the boundless twilight, the mountains in front of them were bizarre, and there was a strange aura emanating from everywhere.
Suddenly, a thick layer of fog filled the forest. The fog became thicker and deeper, until in the end, no one knew where they had gone.
“Damn it … it’s the Heart Demon Illusion!”
Wuchang Daojun’s expression changed. He suddenly reacted and said, “You’ll see what you fear the most later. Remember, don’t …”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized that everyone had disappeared. In the empty mountain range, he was the only one. It was as if he was the only one who came here from beginning to end. A wave of fear gradually spread into his heart.
