As the Universe Turns - Chapter 924
Chapter 924 Ancient Earth God and Demon
Xiao Chen’s words at this moment weren’t alarmist. Xiao Meng’er also knew very well that this place was full of strangeness. No matter what, they couldn’t leave. The two of them were not ordinary people. Only by working together now would they be able to leave this place.
However, when she thought about how she could have escaped, she was forcefully pulled down by him and her clothes were torn apart. When she thought of this, Xiao Meng’er’s heart was filled with anger.
However, she suddenly remembered that she had been cultivating in the Immortal Qiong Sect all these years. No matter what, she was able to maintain a calm heart and not cause any ripples. But why did she get angry again and again when she met this person? Who exactly was this person …
Thinking of this, Xiao Meng’er quickly regained her calm. She placed her whisk on her shoulder and covered the shattered clothes on her chest. Xiao Chen glanced at her and said indifferently, “Fairy Xiao, your clothes seem to have been torn somewhere.”
“You …”
Xiao Meng’er had already recovered her calm, but when he said that, she couldn’t help but get angry again. Wasn’t my clothes torn by you? Forget it, we can’t be angry because of this anymore …
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “There’s a stone over there. Go over and change your clothes before you come back, so that those ghosts won’t see your body later …”
Xiao Meng’er clenched her whisk tightly and did not get angry with him. Her figure flickered and she went to the stone in the distance.
After a while, she walked out from behind the stone and changed into clean clothes. It was as if she had returned to the ignorant Fairy.
Although the two of them had to work together temporarily to get out of here, Xiao Meng’er’s vigilance towards him had never relaxed, and she was increasingly suspicious of his identity and origins.
“May I know how much success Fairy Xiao has left?” Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.
Xiao Meng’er held the Whistle Dust Sword in her hand and asked, “Then how much success does Your Excellency have left?”
The two of them looked at each other without saying a word. At this moment, another strange movement came from the front, emitting an extremely powerful aura.
Xiao Meng’er slowly shifted her gaze away from him and stared motionlessly in the direction of the strange movement coming from the front. Her divine sense was also exceptionally sharp. At this moment, she could naturally feel that there was a very powerful existence in front of her.
“Do you know what’s up ahead?” She glanced at Xiao Chen and asked coldly.
Xiao Chen slowly turned his gaze back and said indifferently, “What is it? Isn’t it obvious if I go take a look …”
…
After about a day and night, the two of them arrived at the front, and they were getting closer and closer to the powerful aura.
There was no difference between day and night below. The two of them could only estimate how long the time had passed in their hearts. There seemed to be some kind of restriction below, and they were unable to fly with their swords as they wished.
After walking for about two hours, the three finally arrived in front of a secluded valley. This underground valley did not look like it was above. There were no flowers or grass, but only deathly silence.
“Your Excellency, look …”
Zi Yuan stopped and stared at the strange valley in front of her. It was pitch black and bottomless. Outside, there was clearly a restrictive aura.
“It’s here.”
Xiao Chen also stopped. Then, he looked at Xiao Meng’er and said, “This should be the only place that leads to the outside. It’s just that there’s something inside. Right now, you and I still don’t know. There are many restrictions outside, and we need to work together to break them.”
Xiao Meng’er held the whisk sword in her hand and glanced at him. She then looked at the valley. From the beginning to the end, she did not relax any of her vigilance. She said, “Since that’s the case, please do not be too far away.”
“Fairy Xiao is overthinking it.”
Xiao Chen knew that she was very vigilant towards him, but he did not know that when there was no competition for benefits, he treated her like a passer-by. He had no interest at all, let alone scheming against her.
Moreover, now that the two of them were trapped in this little Netherworld, what good would it do him if he plotted against her?
A moment later, the two of them arrived in front of the valley. Xiao Meng’er swept her gaze through the dust and sent a beam of pure magic power towards the restriction outside. Xiao Chen did not hesitate. Instead, he condensed his fingers and sent a streak of True Qi towards the restriction.
Although the cultivation of the two of them hadn’t reached the Quasi-Sage realm, their cultivation had already surpassed that of some people who had cultivated to the Quasi-Sage realm. With their joint efforts, it wouldn’t be difficult to break the restrictions outside.
Zi Yuan stood behind the two of them with a slightly nervous expression on her face. After a while, the restriction outside the valley gradually dissipated.
After the restriction was broken, both Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng’er withdrew their strength. However, neither of them moved forward. Xiao Meng’er placed her whisk on his shoulder and looked at him lightly. “The restriction outside the valley has been broken. Please, sir.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. At this moment, Zi Yuan walked up and looked at the two of them. She whispered, “I’ll go …”
“No need.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. After he finished speaking, he strode inside with a look of no scruples. Seeing this, Zi Yuan immediately followed. Xiao Meng’er pondered for a moment before following.
The more he walked into the valley, the more he could feel the powerful aura. He didn’t know what was inside, but if he wanted to return to the valley, based on the current situation, there was only one way to go.
However, the entire valley seemed boundless. The three of them walked inside for a long time, but there was still no end to it.
After about three days, a sudden rumble came from the depths of the valley. It was as if a demon that had been silent here for tens of thousands of years was about to break through the ground, giving off a very depressing and dull feeling.
The three of them stopped. Zi Yuan also nervously pulled out her weapon. Gradually, a dense aura of death enveloped this place. Clearly, there was something terrifying in front of it.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Meng’er and saw that the latter was looking at the depths of the valley with a serious expression. “Acheron Valley used to be the Ancient Fiendgod Battlefield. The death aura below is heavy. Most likely, there are some ancient vicious creatures inside. Are you prepared?” Ning Mei said.
Xiao Chen said, “Soldiers come to block, water comes to earth to cover … If you want to return to the top, there is only this one exit. Fairy Xiao feels that there is no other choice right now.” At the end of his sentence, he looked at her.
Xiao Meng’er’s eyebrows narrowed and she remained silent. In the end, she swept the dust away and dissipated the death aura in front of her. Then, she continued to walk forward with him.
This time, the two of them walked for an unknown amount of time. The terrain in front of them finally opened up. However, the aura of death was still condensed. Xiao Meng’er protected her with a Xianyuan aura, making it difficult for the aura of death to invade her. As for Xiao Chen, he was not afraid of the aura of death. All he needed to do was protect Zi Yuan.
This place was deathly lifeless, without the slightest aura of life. It was like a Death Abyss Valley. Above the Abyss Valley, there was a faint light that penetrated. However, upon closer inspection, it was enveloped by layers of black clouds. It seemed to be an extremely terrifying restriction.
“Then the exit is up there …”
Xiao Meng’er looked at the light shining down from above the abyss valley. Her spiritual sense was sharp, so she could naturally feel the aura of the human world. However, there were many restrictions here. It would not be easy for her to get to the abyss valley smoothly. Moreover, there seemed to be a powerful existence hiding in this place.
“Wait …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen could already feel that there must be some kind of terrifying existence not far ahead. He didn’t dare to act rashly and sent a divine sense to Fuxi Zither, “Su Ye, can you feel some kind of existence in front of you?”
“Brat, you shouldn’t have come here …”
At this moment, Su Ye’s solemn voice sounded in his mind, “Perhaps there is a god devil in front of him who hasn’t completely died yet. I can’t show myself, so as not to let him detect my aura …”
“Not completely dead Fiendgods …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. Was the god devil that hadn’t completely died a god or a devil?
But didn’t those ancient gods and devils disappear from the mortal world as early as the previous era? Why are there still traces of Fiendgods left here …
And what exactly happened to the remaining Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadows beside him, and why did they wrap around him …
“In short, don’t let him discover you. With your current cultivation, if you really are an ancient god devil, even if you only have less than 10% of your strength left, it will be easy to kill you …”
Su Ye’s last words rang out in his mind, and there was no sound anymore. Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and stared at the valley that was shrouded in death energy. Could it be that there was really an ancient god and demon in front of him?
If there were gods and devils guarding that place, how would they go up this time?
The three of them stood there for a long time, and Zi Yuan’s back was covered in cold sweat. She carefully said, “Otherwise, I’ll go take a look …”
“No.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand. He couldn’t let Zi Yuan take this risk. If there was a devil there, no matter how fast she moved, she wouldn’t be able to escape a strand of the devil’s consciousness. Almost a single strand of her consciousness could instantly cause her to be annihilated.
“I’ll go take a look …”
Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious and he held his breath. He remembered that back in Tomb of Gods and Demons, he seemed to be able to communicate with the ancient gods of the Myriad Bone Formation in a simple manner. In the Twelve-fingered Heart Demon Forbidden Land, he was able to communicate with the twelve-fingered Heart Demon completely. It was unknown if he could communicate with this Fiendgod in the Abyss Valley as well.
However, he did not expect that when he took his first step into the abyss valley, a terrifying and deep voice would come from inside, “Mortal, quickly retreat from this place …”
Xiao Chen immediately felt his heart tremble. Even if it was just a voice, he was almost suffocated. Xiao Meng’er’s expression changed. There really was such a terrifying existence inside. However, she did not completely understand what she said just now. It was as if this was the language of the deities of the previous era.
However, Xiao Chen understood. Xiao Meng’er looked at him and asked with a frown, “What did he say?”
“Let’s leave this place and not get any closer …”
Xiao Chen stared at the depths of the abyss valley. He seemed to have seen a huge figure of a devil. Xiao Meng’er slowly regained her senses and looked at the top of the abyss valley. The exit was right there. Should she give up?
“Don’t try to do anything stupid. No matter how fast your Lotus Platform is, it can’t be faster than a Fiendgod’s divine sense.” Xiao Chen stared at the abyss valley. As he spoke, he slowly retrieved the steps he had taken earlier.
