The long and narrow rift zone has no end as far as the eye can see. In front of it, densely packed ancient corpses are walking staggeringly from the depths.
Some of these ancient corpses were covered with rotten flesh, while some had only a skeleton left.
They made whimpering sounds from their mouths, and wherever they passed, the evil energy was so strong that even the sky darkened because of them.
Gu Chen and the eight evil men restrained their aura and walked cautiously along the edge of the cliff, fearing to attract the attention of the ancient corpses.
They had been deep into the rift valley for five days, and the number and scale of the ancient corpses they saw made them feel increasingly heavy.
This is already a ghost army, numbering more than 50,000, and the leaders among them are many who were once famous and powerful people in the Fairy Continent.
Yu Wen Jue from the Qing Lian Immortal Sect, Xiong Wu from the Gui Yuan Immortal Sect, Fairy Ji Yuan from the Guanghan Palace, and the unkind Taoist from the Tiandao Sect...
The Eight Evil Men recognized many powerful men who have gone down in history and have defeated all the geniuses of their time, leaving a mark in history.
They mysteriously disappeared in their later years, but now they are resurrected as ancient corpses, walking out of the pit, as if they are about to sweep into the world of the living.
Gu Chen and others chose to avoid the most powerful ones, fearing to attract their attention.
They are getting deeper and deeper into the rift valley. Once they fight any ancient corpse, they may face a large-scale attack by the zombie tide.
Gu Chen's purple eyes looked far into the distance, always avoiding dangerous people among the ancient corpses first, and when encountering those who had to face them, everyone would take action together to resolve the battle quickly.
The eight villains were investigating to understand the scale of the corpse tide, while Gu Chen was searching for his father's whereabouts.
He almost looked at every corpse seriously, fearing that his father would appear among them.
Throughout the ages, countless monks have entered the Tiankeng Earth Eye in search of opportunities, but now they have all turned into ancient corpses and left for unknown reasons, and my father may not be an exception.
"The vitality of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, and our consumption is getting worse and worse."
"The number of ancient corpses is also increasing, and we can hardly find a way to avoid them."
After traveling towards the Tiankeng for more than ten days, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.
For more than ten days, I have not dared to relax for a moment. From time to time, I can see powerful ancient corpses exuding astonishing aura, which is a huge test for people's spirit and body.
"How far is it from the Tiankeng Earth Eye?" Gu Chen asked calmly.
"There is only one day left, but because we have to avoid the hordes of corpses, it will actually take us almost five days. What we are most worried about now is that the road ahead will be blocked. If that happens, we will have no choice but to return."
Mr. Tan replied.
"If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."
Gu Chen said something and continued to walk forward. The white ape was tiptoeing beside him and cautiously. It was obvious that even the little guy didn't want to provoke those corpses.
"Hmph, does this kid think we will be scared?" One of the villains said dissatisfied.
"If you complain less, others won't think so." Ruan Ji shook his head.
"Speaking of which, what is this kid's background? He is young and strong, and his temper is quite arrogant. He is definitely not an unknown person. That Chen Gu is probably a pseudonym."
The eight villains were discussing quietly. They had been moving forward with Gu Chen for more than ten days, and his strength was unanimously recognized by them.
"I've already guessed his identity."
"I guessed it too."
Mr. Tan and several others smiled and said that they had seen Gu Chen take action when there was a crisis on the road, and they knew his details and why he was so persistent in finding the person from the Gu clan.
"Who is he?" People who didn't know yet asked curiously, while others deliberately kept it secret and didn't say anything.
Two days later, after Gu Chen killed a wave of ancient corpses, the cultivation bottleneck in his body was easily broken through, and he was promoted from the peak of the middle phase to the late phase.
At this time, his expression changed and he stopped where he was.
"What's wrong?"
The eight evil men sensed the instability of his aura and asked in surprise.
There are ancient corpses all around here. Such obvious aura fluctuations can easily attract a swarm of corpses.
"I need a break."
Gu Chen's ugly answer made everyone protect him, while he paid full attention to the condition inside his body.
These days, due to the pressure brought by the ancient corpse, he has naturally achieved breakthroughs in cultivation. The nine-colored energy in his dantian instantly surged, making the conflict between it and Cang Tian Ba Gu more obvious.
This problem has always existed since Ba Gu was repaired, but it was not a big problem before and was forcibly controlled by him.
Now that he has reached the late stage of the Dharma phase, the problem has become more serious. Two different forces conflict with each other in his body, causing his breath to become unstable.
He mobilized his huge mental power and tried his best to suppress the conflict between the two forces.
It took him two full hours to finally control the situation inside his body, but a haze appeared on his face.
Although he was under control, because he had to allocate his strength to suppress it, although his cultivation reached the late stage of Dharma phase, the power he could mobilize became weaker.
As long as he tries to mobilize 100% of his power, the Heavenly Tyrant Bones and the Dharma of Heaven and Earth will conflict violently, causing chaos in his body. In the least case, he will go crazy, and in the worst case, his body will explode and die!
"Damn it, why did this kind of problem happen at this time!"
Gu Chen's expression was gloomy. He was not far from the Tiankeng Earth Eye. The dangers were increasing, but his strength was weakened.
"Do you want to keep going?"
Everyone saw something was wrong with Gu Chen's situation and looked at each other in shock.
Gu Chen gritted his teeth and nodded. He had already come this far. How could he be willing to not take a look at the terrible situation that day?
Everyone continued to move forward, and finally saw the Tiankeng Eye from a distance after a day and a half.
Where the tiankeng is located, the sky is like a black hole, swallowing up all the light, and below is a vast and boundless abyss, pitch black with no bottom.
The terrain goes down rapidly along the way. Nowhere on the ground is flat, there are faults and cracks everywhere!
"What kind of disaster would it take to create such a place?"
Although this was not the first time they saw it from a distance, Mr. Tan and others were still in awe.
Gu Chen's mind was even more shocked. No wonder it is called the Tiankeng Earth Eye. Even a giant of ten thousand feet cannot create such a huge black hole on the ground. The depth of the Earth Eye is unknown, one hundred thousand feet, one million feet, it is hard to estimate!
At this time, ancient corpses were crawling out from the edge of the earth's eye. They moved slowly but had the same goal, heading outside.
Because the rift valley ahead became extremely narrow and the group of ancient corpses crowded the road, it was difficult for Gu Chen and others to move forward.
"We can only go so far, if we go any further we will die."
Many of the villains smiled bitterly and said that although they were not afraid of death, they did not want to die in vain.
Gu Chen looked at the ground from a distance and closed his eyes.
In his consciousness, he felt something that others could not feel.
