As the Universe Turns - Chapter 576
Chapter 576 Ancient Abyss Palace
The two of them had fallen for an unknown amount of time. The darkness below seemed bottomless. Xiao Chen held Hua Weiyang tightly with his left hand and Genuine energy with his right hand. Only by condensing a ray of light could he see his surroundings clearly.
It turned out that beneath the ancient cave was a bottomless abyss. It was like a world that had been lost in ancient times. There were many strange flowers and plants that could not be seen from the outside.
It wasn’t until he was about to land that Xiao Chen slapped his palm on the ground to cushion the two of them from falling.
The surrounding light was dim, and the only light was actually from some shining plants. Such an underground abyss was truly shocking.
“This is …”
Looking at the darkness nearby, if it weren’t for the fact that Spiritual Energy could still feel a little of the human world, Hua Weiyang would have thought that he had returned to the Nether Realm.
“I don’t know. Be careful.”
Xiao Chen stared at his surroundings and carefully guarded himself. Fortunately, the two of them didn’t get hurt when they fell just now. However, they didn’t know where they were. They had just fallen for so long before they fell. It would be a bit difficult to get up.
“They’re not going to chase after me, are they?”
Hua Weiyang looked at him and recalled that when he fell down, he could faintly feel another powerful aura behind him. It seemed that even though the Sword Tomb was enveloped in layers of Sword Fiend Qi, those people would be able to enter in a few days.
“In a short time, they won’t be able to get down. Don’t worry … cough, cough!”
As Xiao Chen was speaking, his face suddenly turned pale. Apparently, his injuries had been affected again. Hua Weiyang hurriedly helped him up. “How are you? Has your injuries broken out again?”
“No problem …”
Xiao Chen stabilized his aura. The injuries caused by the Autumn Water Sword were continuously affected. It seemed that unless he found Shen Jing, he would not be able to recover in a short period of time.
“Let’s go ahead and take a look.”
Xiao Chen glanced at the pitch-black spot in front of him and no longer cared about his injuries. After walking for a moment, an ancient palace appeared in front of them. The two of them immediately stopped and felt a faint aura of an emperor coming from the ancient palace. Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but be stunned, “Could this be the tomb of an ancient emperor?”
Whether it was the tomb of an ancient emperor was still unknown, but Xiao Chen felt the aura of an emperor at this moment. For some reason, at this moment, he felt a faint sense of familiarity …
Even though it was the aura of an emperor descending on the world, it was still so lonely and lonely … Why was such a complicated feeling so familiar?
“Idiot … what’s wrong with you?”
Seeing that he was suddenly distracted, Hua Weiyang asked.
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen regained his senses and looked at the faintly discernible ancient palace in the distance. He said, “Perhaps that thing is inside. If you and I fall into this abyss today, it can be considered an opportunity. Let’s go and take a look.”
“Yes.”
Hua Weiyang nodded and didn’t say anything else. He immediately followed him towards the ancient palace.
The ancient palace seemed to be not far ahead, but the two of them walked for a long time before finally approaching. When they approached the ancient palace, the aura of an emperor descending on the world was even more intense.
However, how could such an imperial aura be buried at the bottom of this dark abyss? How many years have passed? A thousand years, ten thousand years? Ten thousand years …
“Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Hua Weiyang looked inside the ancient palace and said with a frown.
The courage of the two of them was extremely great. If an ordinary person came to such a place, even if they weren’t intimidated by the Emperor’s aura, they wouldn’t dare to rashly approach, let alone enter.
“Be careful later. Don’t be too far away from me.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he carefully approached the ancient palace. Hua Weiyang nodded slightly and carefully followed him without saying anything else. The Flying Flower Parasol had been taken out and circled around the two of them.
Just as the two of them were about to approach the entrance of the Ancient Palace Hall, two black shadows suddenly attacked them from nowhere. “This is a forbidden area, and mortals will die if they enter …”
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
The two black shadows’ murderous auras were extremely heavy, and their voices were terrifyingly low. In an instant, they had already attacked in front of the two of them. Xiao Chen’s inner energy trembled, blocking the attacks of the two black shadows. Then, he took advantage of this opportunity to leap backwards with Hua Weiyang and leave the attack range of the two black shadows.
“That’s …”
Hua Weiyang’s gaze narrowed. The two black shadows looked like ancient generals. However, they had long since become ghosts. It was unknown how long they had been waiting here.
“If you enter my forbidden area, mortals will die” The voices of the two ghosts were terrifying. As soon as their voices fell, their eyes glowed brightly as they attacked the two of them.
This was an immortal object that was extremely difficult to deal with. Xiao Chen immediately unfolded his body and condensed a sword. A sword slashed towards one of the ghosts. However, the sword slashed into the ghost without any effect at all.
“Mortal … exterminate!”
The ghost turned around and threw a palm at Xiao Chen. However, when it saw this palm, it instantly formed a black palm print in mid-air, as if it wanted to drag a person into the Netherworld. There was no way to avoid it!
“Watch out!”
Hua Weiyang extended his hand and the Flying Flower Lian You Umbrella instantly flew over. With a “bang”, it blocked the palm strike, but the other ghost immediately attacked her. With a movement, Xiao Chen instantly flew over and took her far away.
The two of them landed on the ground and looked at the two ghosts in front of the ancient palace. There was a slight flash of shock on their faces. Such powerful ghosts and ordinary methods of attack were useless at all …
“Watch out … it’s coming again!”
Before the two of them could breathe, the two ghosts instantly attacked again. This time, the attack was even more ferocious. Black palm prints kept on appearing, and everything in the vicinity, vegetation, flowers, and stones, were sucked into the silence.
In the face of such a terrifying attack, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang’s attacks were useless. They could only dodge all the way, but in the end, the power of the two ghosts seemed to have grown stronger and stronger.
“Mortals … must die!”
Suddenly, the shadows of the two ghosts magnified countless times, as terrifying as ancient spirits. Hua Weiyang forced himself to calm down and said, “No, these are two dead creatures. Any means of attack will be useless against them …”
“Dead thing …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly. Even if this eternal soul was the Soul Forbidden Technique that Ku Lingzi had taught him, there was probably nothing he could do about it. The other methods of attack were also ineffective. Why not try controlling life and death …
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate any longer. He instantly jumped into the air and stretched out his hand, causing the power of life and death to surge out. However, when he saw the sky filled with black mist, he immediately covered the two ghosts in it.
“I’ve finally returned … to seclusion.”
As expected, the two ghosts stopped under the control of the power of life and death. They let out a deep sound and then slowly dissipated.
After the two ghosts dissipated, the surroundings gradually regained their calm. Xiao Chen slowly landed on the ground, and the death aura on his body flashed.
As for Hua Weiyang, he stood behind him and saw the scene clearly. He slowly walked up and looked at the withered vegetation around Xiao Chen. A look of doubt flashed across his face. “Why … is there a death aura on your body?”
