The ninth and fifty-third chapters of the mother root of all things
Gu Chen and others walked towards the Underworld Tower. The closer they got, the more they felt that the huge tower in front of them was indescribably weird.
"This tower is called the Underworld Tower. Doesn't it have anything to do with the ancient Underworld Emperor?"
Ryoma followed behind and said in surprise.
"Are you sure you have the blood of the ancestral dragon and not the blood of the ancestral worm?" the Lord of Penglai Island said sarcastically.
It stands to reason that Long Ma has already half-stepped into the realm of Immortal Lord. Even Jiang Baiming, whose real cultivation level is in the late stage of Immortal King, is not as good as him. He shouldn't be so timid.
"What do you know? As soon as I came here, some of the inherited memories of the ancestral dragons came out of my head!"
Ryoma explained angrily, "It is said that the Ancient Underworld Emperor was an extremely evil one among the God-Emperors. Zulong was extremely disgusted and afraid of him during his lifetime. And for some reason, I got goosebumps all over my body as soon as I got close to this place. You know where to go?"
This kind of phenomenon has never happened in Taixu Immortal Emperor’s Xutian Palace, it’s like, it’s like…”
The dragon and horse wanted to speak but stopped.
"What does it look like?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.
"It's as if the Ancient Underworld Emperor is still alive and we are about to enter his lair!" Ryoma gritted his teeth.
Everyone was silent when they heard this and looked at each other.
The dragon horse has always been a psychic fairy beast, so for it to have this feeling, even if there is not really a god emperor in this tower, there must be a lot of danger hidden in it.
When I think about it, the woman didn't introduce anything about the situation in the tower, which makes me even more uneasy.
"As long as you come, let it be. Since entering this tower is a mandatory procedure for members of the underworld, it means that at least there is no danger to life."
Gu Chen comforted everyone, although he was also a little uneasy.
"Crunch——"
The door of the giant tower was quickly pushed open, and a group of people entered.
Gu Chen originally thought he would see a scene similar to that of the Hades Tower in the past, but he didn't expect it to be empty inside.
The interior of the Underworld Tower seems to be an empty shell, unusually empty and desolate, without any mechanism.
"roar!"
However, at this moment, the white ape on Gu Chen's shoulder manifested its true form inexplicably, roared at the void, and bared its teeth, as if it sensed some extreme danger!
"How did I change back to my original appearance?" Ryoma asked in surprise. It didn't know when it recovered its dragon body.
Gu Chen and the Penglai Island Master looked at each other and suddenly realized that their disguises were gone!
There seems to be a mysterious power in this tower, which makes all of them reveal their true colors!
Everyone couldn't help but feel numb and couldn't understand what was happening in front of them.
"It's been a long time since I've had such an outstanding furnace..."
Suddenly a hoarse and joyful voice sounded, directly affecting everyone's minds.
"Who is it?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they subconsciously wanted to defend themselves, but found that they could not move!
I saw a black torrent appearing in the originally empty sky, with countless weird and scary faces emerging from it, sweeping towards everyone!
It caught everyone at once, and at the same time, everyone felt a cold and evil spiritual power pouring into their minds!
"Everyone!"
Gu Chen saw the eyes of Penglai Island Master and Jiang Baiming dim for a moment, as if they had lost consciousness, while Long Ma tried desperately to run out, but collapsed to the ground with a plop!
After a while, only he and the white ape were left struggling to hold on. The strange black torrent entangled him, and a face appeared from the black and sticky mist.
"I know you..."
The face in front of him spoke. Gu Chen saw his appearance clearly, and his pupils instantly shrank like needles!
"Huangfu Wuji?" Gu Chen almost lost his voice and said, the face in front of him was exactly the same as Huangfu Wuji!
He didn't know what the monster in front of him was, but he was sure that his mind had not been invaded yet, so it couldn't be an illusion!
And this monster didn't know himself, so why did it transform into Huangfu Wuji?
"Canghuang Ancient Star, Kunlun Continent, heir of the Overlord Clan..."
The monster in front of him muttered bits and pieces of words, but they were all closely related to Gu Chen, as if he was reading his memory.
A chill ran down Gu Chen's back. He was very sure that the other party was not reading his own memory, so whose memory was he reading?
The monster muttered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Thirty thousand years ago, my cauldron tracked the Origin Seed to the Ancient Canghuang Star, but ended up dying at the hands of a descendant of the Overlord Clan. The Origin Seed has also been missing since then..."
"Thirty thousand years later, my other furnace tried to unify the continent, but it was also blocked by the hegemonic descendants..."
"So, the origin seed is in you?"
The monster seemed to suddenly wake up, and Huangfu Wuji's face showed a look of ecstasy!
"God's will! God's will! There is a way to heaven but you don't take it. If there is no door to hell, you just go through it!"
"Where is the origin seed?"
Where? Where! Where, where, where!
Hysterical demonic sounds echoed in the tower, and a black torrent suddenly rushed into Gu Chen's body, trying to find what he was looking for!
Gu Chen was unable to resist its invasion. The secret space in his body was broken through layer by layer, and the opponent broke into his Dantian with a destructive attitude!
"Origin Seed!"
Its voice of joy echoed, but at the next moment, it turned into panic.
"No! It has actually taken root and sprouts, and is filled with chaos. How could this be done? How could it be possible?"
Buzz——
In the starry sky in Gu Chen's dantian, the mother root of all things that grew like a horned dragon seemed to sense it, and the gray mist on the treetops trembled slightly.
boom!
The next moment, I saw the black torrent being hit by the gray energy, screaming and escaping from Gu Chen's Dantian, and his vitality was severely injured!
"No - I am a majestic emperor, why should I be bound by the laws of heaven? I am not willing to do so!"
It screamed crazily, and through the illusory soul body, one could actually see dense chains of light binding it.
The chain of light is composed of countless astral characters for "prison". It is clearly an unimaginably thick Shinto chain!
It became even weaker under the restraints of the chains, suddenly got into the void at the top of the tower, and disappeared all of a sudden!
Suddenly, silence returned to the tower, and there was nothing unusual anymore.
Only then did Gu Chen realize that he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but slumped on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Underworld Emperor? That was the Ancient Underworld Emperor just now?"
Gu Chen recalled what the other party had said crazily before, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He had just escaped from a divine emperor, and the one who saved him turned out to be the mother root of all things.
Although the words spoken by the other party were messy, they revealed a surprising secret.
"The seed of origin that flew to the Ancient Canghuang Star 30,000 years ago turned out to be a treasure that even the mighty God Emperor coveted..."
"Huangfu Wuji is the furnace, and the people in this underworld are all furnaces? Could it be that after cultivating his Taoism, or becoming a member of the underworld, he will be manipulated by it?"
"What happened to it just now? Did the Mother Root of All Things hurt it?"
Gu Chen murmured to himself, feeling that everything just now was unorganized and chaotic.
