Chapter 516 - The Life-Devouring Beast
Chapter 516: The Life-Devouring Beast
Everyone’s expressions changed in shock.
How could the mural be alive?
This was too absurd.
Moreover, the ancient vicious beasts were extremely terrifying.
They could move mountains and split seas at any time. Their cultivation bases were tyrannical, and they even had the blessing of innate divine abilities.
Who could have such great ability to actually seal so many vicious beasts in the mountain?
It was likely that even True Immortals could not do it.
But fellow Daoist Ye did not seem to be a person who came from nowhere.
Could it be that this was actually true?
Even Zhan Xianyi and Huan Caiyi were shocked, let alone the other elders.
This was simply a fantasy.
According to fellow Daoist Ye, there were at least dozens of fierce beasts.
If this was true, if these fierce beasts were to be revived, who in the greater world could stop them?
What they had seen and heard today had completely overturned their worldview.
“You don’t have to be nervous. This is just my guess.”
Ye Changge consoled them.
“Then what should we do now?”
An elder spoke up.
For the sake of the ten thousand year old Earth Core Flame, this risk was too great.
The Land of the Abyss was notorious for its savagery. In addition to the strange things happening now, some people began to hesitate.
Everyone looked at Miao Kexin, waiting for her reply.
In fact, whether she went or not, Ye Changge would continue to explore.
This place successfully attracted his curiosity.
“Master, you and the elders can stay here.
“I can do it alone.”
Miao Kexin did not want her sect’s people to put themselves in danger.
She had done enough to her master.
If she continued to let her master work hard and fall into danger…
How could she be at ease?
“Silly child, what are you saying?
“I only have you as my disciple, how could I let you take the risk alone?”
Huan Caiyi reprimanded her softly.
“Don’t say such things anymore!”
Miao Kexin’s eyes were a little moist.
She was originally an orphan, but her master adopted her.
She had taught her a whole set of Dao techniques.
She cared for her and took care of her as if she were her own daughter.
When there were hidden dangers in her body, she did not give up on her.
She never gave up on her.
“If that’s the case, then let’s go.”
Ye Changge walked in front of the surging river.
Since they could not cross the sky, they could only cross the wooden bridge.
In front of them was a wooden bridge reinforced with iron chains.
The wooden boards on it were already corroded.
The iron chains were also rusted. It was easy to suspect that a person’s weight could crush it.
Although everyone had doubts, there was no other way.
If they wanted to cross the river, they could only cross this way.
Ka!
Ye Changge walked in the front, and behind him was Zhan Xianyi.
The elders of the Snow God Palace were at the back.
They paid full attention to prevent any accidents from happening.
This wooden bridge was hundreds of kilometers long.
Some of the wooden planks had already been lost.
When they stepped on it, it even made cracking sounds.
But fortunately, after walking for a long time, no accidents happened.
Everyone also slowly exhaled.
But at this moment…
Ah!
The elder at the back cried out in surprise.
“There’s something, there’s something pulling me from the bridge.”
This elder’s face was filled with fear.
The others scanned their surroundings, but they did not see a single shadow.
“Elder Wan, did you sense wrongly?”
Ye Changge had also activated the Eye of the Great Dao Technique, but he did not discover anything.
And this elder shook her head firmly. “Sect master, it’s true. There really was an unknown force pulling me just now.”
A strange atmosphere lingered in everyone’s mind.
They surveyed their surroundings and waited for a long time, but nothing special happened.
They could only continue to move forward.
But with the previous experience, everyone was on full alert.
The journey was smooth.
They were about to reach the place where the fog gathered.
They had already traveled a quarter of the way, and fortunately, they were safe and sound.
The elder was also puzzled.
She scanned her surroundings. Could it be that the power just now was really an illusion?
However, she could clearly feel that inexplicable pulling force.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out.
Ye Changge and the others quickly turned around. Elder Wan said in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, this iron chain has aged.”
She was still holding a broken iron chain in her hand.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that she had encountered the pulling force from before again.
Elder Wan threw the iron chain into the river water.
But in the next moment, something that made everyone go numb appeared.
The moment the iron chain came into contact with the river water, it actually directly corroded.
Although the iron chain had aged, the corrosive power of the water was too strong.
They had no doubt that if the bridge fell, no one would even be able to find their bones.
When the others saw this, they all grabbed onto the iron chains beside them.
They could not fly in this place. If they lost their support, the only result would be death.
Ye Changge looked at the rolling river below him with a very grave expression.
This place was full of oddities.
They had to cross the bridge as soon as possible.
“Ah, save me!”
At this moment, Elder Wan let out a cry of surprise.
Her body had already been raised horizontally. It was as if there was a transparent monster behind her body exerting force on her.
The elder beside her was also quick-witted. He directly blasted out a tyrannical force from his palm.
Boom!
The power exploded.
Elder Wan returned to normal.
Right now, everyone was panicking.
The unknown was the most terrifying thing.
Even if they were powerful cultivators, they were not immune to the fear.
“What is this thing?”
Following Elder Wan’s exclamation, everyone looked in her direction.
They saw a transparent exotic beast lying on the wooden bridge.
It did not have any hair on its body, and it looked like a wolf.
However, it had eight legs.
What made their bodies go numb was that it did not have a mouth.
It only had what looked like a long tube, and the blood that flowed out was not red either.
It was blue.
What kind of demonic beast was this?
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
They had traveled far and wide, and had seen countless demonic beasts.
But they had never seen a demonic beast with such a strange appearance.
Facing everyone’s puzzled gazes, Ye Changge also shook his head.
He had never seen it before either.
What in the world was this thing?
Even his Eye of the Great Dao Technique was unable to discover its existence.
But its tube?
Ye Changge fell into deep thought.
Elder Wan must have encountered this thing just now.
What on earth did it do?
Could it be…
He looked at Elder Wan, but suddenly realized that Elder Wan’s image had changed greatly.
She was originally in her forties or fifties, but she had suddenly become much older.
Now, she looked more like an old woman in her twilight years.
Perhaps even she herself did not realize that her lifespan was slipping away.
The others also noticed this strange change.
Their eyes widened.
They cried out in surprise, “Elder Wan, you…”
She could no longer speak. Even a simple action was an extravagant hope for her.
If she had not held on with her last breath, she would have died long ago.
However, from her terrified eyes, one could vaguely see that she was also very shocked by this sudden occurrence.
However, this was understandable.
Anyone who encountered such a thing would be afraid.
After advancing to the Sage Heaven Realm, one would have thousands of years worth of life.
However, in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel afraid.
