Chapter 2169: Sudden Mutation!
In just a few minutes, everyone smoothly passed through the passage.
After that, Zhou Yu discovered that they had arrived in an enormous space.
"Is this the bottom of the Yellow Springs?"
Zhou Yu looked around, a hint of shock in his voice.
At this moment, everywhere his eyesight reached was a vast, hazy-gray land.
The entire place was filled with deathly stillness.
It gave one a feeling of despair.
And above their heads, everything was shrouded in gray mist.
Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it at all.
Aside from that, there was nothing else.
At this moment, Mrs. Mu spoke:
"That’s right, this is the Bottom of Yellow Springs."
"But don’t be fooled into thinking there’s nothing here—this place is far more dangerous than the passage we just came through."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately raised his guard to the utmost.
At this time, Six Wings had already begun directing his subordinates to arrange themselves into formation, forming a strange array.
"Move out!"
Once the formation was set, everyone began to advance.
Their pace was not slow at all, yet even after a long time, the environment around them was still the same as before, without the slightest change.
After about half a day.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu noticed a white line appearing in the distance.
Zhou Yu’s spirit lifted; he immediately realized something new was up.
He fixed his gaze tightly on that white line.
Very soon, that white line grew clearer and clearer in his field of vision.
When he finally saw it clearly, Zhou Yu’s pupils abruptly shrank.
That was no white line at all, but an entire land of white bones.
This land of white bones stretched as far as the eye could see.
All kinds of bones lay within; some were even a hundred zhang long.
It was impossible to imagine what kind of creature had left such bones behind.
Even harder to imagine was where all these bones had come from.
Zhou Yu asked Mrs. Mu beside him.
However, Mrs. Mu only shook her head in silence, not saying a single word.
Zhou Yu glanced at the other three.
He found that the expressions of these three had all become extremely grave.
Zhou Yu immediately realized that this must be a place of great danger.
Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly caught a faint whiff of decay.
But as they continued forward, that rotting stench grew stronger and stronger.
Zhou Yu felt a bad premonition; he immediately activated the Eye of Destruction and began to observe.
A moment later, his expression suddenly changed.
He saw that about ten kilometers away, a terrifying hurricane abruptly rose up.
These hurricanes were actually formed entirely from Netherworld soul energy.
The sky-covering hurricanes swept toward them at high speed.
Seeing this scene.
Mrs. Mu immediately shouted.
"Zhou Yu, quickly unleash the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder and protect all of us."
"Mainly the four of us; if the others can’t be protected, then so be it."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded, then immediately summoned the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, turning it into a field of Thunder Light that wrapped everyone within.
Just as Zhou Yu finished all this, that terrifying hurricane had already arrived.
The four still had quite a few subordinates with them, but Zhou Yu couldn’t protect them all.
Thus, those at the very outer edge, the moment they touched the Netherworld soul energy, let out shrill, miserable screams.
Then, in a very short time, the flesh on their bodies was literally shredded by the hurricane.
In the blink of an eye, they became nothing but skeletons.
Seeing this, the corner of Zhou Yu’s eye twitched violently.
He finally understood how this land had become covered in bones.
This hurricane formed from Netherworld soul energy was simply too terrifying.
At this moment, the faces of Mrs. Mu and the other three had all turned somewhat pale.
Clearly, this sight had frightened them badly as well.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu’s Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder had been refined, its power greatly increased.
With the protection of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, this Netherworld soul energy could not harm them at all.
"Keep moving."
"Stopping here is just asking for death!"
Mrs. Mu said coldly.
Hearing this, Six Wings looked at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, stay close to me."
With that, Six Wings took the lead, darting forward.
Zhou Yu followed closely behind, using the Thunder Light formed by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder to shield them.
After about an hour.
At last, they broke out of the area covered by the hurricanes formed from Netherworld soul energy.
Once they got out, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
They looked back to see that the hurricane had already turned into a gray line, slowly receding into the distance.
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s face was already deathly pale.
He looked extremely weak.
Mrs. Mu stared at Zhou Yu.
"How are you?"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said:
"I overextended myself just now."
Six Wings and the others also gathered around.
"We have Mr. Zhou to thank for just now."
"We probably won’t run into any more hurricanes formed from Netherworld soul energy in the short term."
"Mr. Zhou, we’ll protect you. Hurry and recover!"
"Alright."
Zhou Yu nodded.
Then, he began to recuperate.
In truth, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder Zhou Yu had consumed earlier was only about half.
The reason he did this was to give these four old bastards a false impression.
To make them misjudge him.
He might be able to use that later.
Afterward, Six Wings continued to lead the way, taking everyone forward.
After about a day and a night.
They arrived at the bottom of a swamp.
The place was filled everywhere with miasma.
And many Demon creatures similar to poisonous bees appeared.
This time, Zhou Yu did not take action; he stayed at the rear to recover.
Meanwhile, Six Wings and Shiva directed their subordinates in a fierce battle against these Demons.
Of course, during this time, a few stray Demons also rushed toward Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu only needed to lightly employ the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder to instantly annihilate these Demons.
At this moment, Zhou Yu finally understood why they absolutely had to bring him along.
In this Bottom of Yellow Springs, in this place where Netherworld soul energy spread everywhere, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was practically the greatest nemesis of everything.
Whenever it was unleashed, nothing could stand in its way.
Very few things could withstand a single strike of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.
However, Zhou Yu did not grow careless, because up to now, they had only encountered some Low Level Demons.
Existences like the Ghost Kings Mrs. Mu mentioned earlier had yet to appear.
An hour later, all the Demons were dealt with.
Everyone set out once more.
In the next seven days, Zhou Yu’s group basically spent all their time battling various Demons.
Zhou Yu gradually realized that as they went deeper, the Demons they encountered also grew more and more formidable.
Just yesterday, they encountered a group of Fierce Ghosts.
Among them, there were actually more than ten commanders whose strength was comparable to Late-stage Void Refining Realm.
In the end, it was only when Six Wings took action that they were slain.
However, after that battle yesterday, the subordinates of the four—Six Wings and the others—were already nearly wiped out.
This meant that if they encountered even stronger Demons later on, it would basically fall on Mrs. Mu and the other three to take the field themselves.
Yet just as Zhou Yu and the others continued forward, sudden, violent tremors rang out all around.
The faces of Mrs. Mu and the other three changed; they halted instantly, their gazes flickering with shock and suspicion as they looked around.
At that moment, the ground beneath Zhou Yu and the others suddenly split open.
Streams of black airflow shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to be filled with black currents.
Zhou Yu no longer cared about hiding anything; he almost reflexively activated the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder to protect himself.
But then he realized that this black airflow was not Netherworld soul energy, but a surge of Yin Sha Qi.
Zhou Yu looked around, only to find that the figures of Mrs. Mu and the others had already vanished...
