C2522 Terrifying Demon God
Duan Zhu walked at the very front. Both of his hands continuously slapped out as the extremely terrifying Reincarnation Palm fiercely exploded out, covering the sky and extinguishing all of the Devil Dao's air currents in front of him. He relied on his strength to forcefully open up a path.
As the current leader of the Duan Clan, Duan Zhu's strength was naturally extremely terrifying. Besides the two Duan Clan's Eighth Order Patriarchs, Duan Zhu was the strongest.
However, he had never made a move before. No one dared to challenge the Duan Clan's might, thus his name wasn't recorded in the Thirty-Six Saints. However, the First Saint was a person of the Duan Clan, and was a character of the seventh step.
After some time had passed, and it was unknown how far the crowd walked, Duan Zhu's footsteps gradually slowed down as his gaze swept the surroundings. Terrifying rays of light shone from his deep eyes, and his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of Devil Dao's airflow as he saw the scene in the distance.
In his line of sight, he could vaguely see an abyss. The depths could not be seen and the Devil Dao's airflow was spreading out from the abyss.
Seeing this scene caused Duan Zhu's heart to tremble, as he vaguely guessed what it was.
Could it be that the place where the ancestors buried their bones was located in the abyss?
"Patriarch, what happened?" An aged voice sounded from behind him. An ancestor walked behind Duan Zhu, and Qin Xuan, Duan Chengtian, and Chu Feng all arrived as well, their gazes all looking forward.
Qin Xuan activated the Eye of Void, his eyes turning silver white. In an instant, the Devil Dao in front of him seemed to become a lot more illusory, and a huge abyss appeared in front of him. That abyss spanned across an endless distance, and was extremely wide, as though it could split the entire land into two.
"What a terrifying abyss …" Qin Xuan said with shock in his voice. His gaze was still fixed in front of him.
Duan Zhu suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Xuan with an extremely astonished gaze. He asked, "You can see the abyss?"
"Sure." Qin Xuan nodded. He couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, as he didn't understand why Duan Zhu would ask such a question.
Subsequently, he seemed to have realized something and explained to Duan Zhu, "In the God of Heaven's eye, I obtained the inheritance of an Empyrean. I cultivated a powerful eye technique, so I was able to see that abyss."
"So that's how it is." Duan Zhu's heart was suddenly enlightened, and he couldn't help but glance at Qin Xuan. He was slightly envious, because Monarch Stage cultivation had already become the inheritance of an Ascendant. Once he matures, it is difficult to imagine just how strong he would be.
"That abyss should have been left behind by the Duan Clan's ancestor when he fought against the evil races of the foreign land." Qin Xuan said in a low voice.
"It should be as you think. That is the source of the devilish qi. Even I can feel a terrifying aura coming from there. If any ordinary Saint of the seventh step were to go there, it would be a dead end." Duan Zhu said in a low voice, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Even a Saint of the seventh step can't pass?" Qin Xuan and the rest were shocked and their eyes were filled with shock. Didn't this mean that they could only make it this far?
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'll go scout ahead first. All of you wait for me here."
"Father, be careful." However, this was the best method at the moment, and he needed someone to scout the path ahead.
"Patriarch, be careful." The other three Patriarchs also warned him.
Although Qin Xuan and the rest did not say anything, they all had solemn expressions on their faces, revealing their nervousness. After all, the abyss was extremely terrifying.
"Relax, I am only going in to sense the situation. If I sense that something is amiss, I will immediately withdraw." Duan Zhu waved his hand and cast them a reassured gaze. Only then did everyone slightly relax.
Afterwards, Duan Zhu stepped forward, passing through the incomparably thick Devil Dao's airflow, continuously approaching the abyss. Every step was extremely slow, and it was obvious that he was probing the strength of the abyss.
If one walked too fast, Core Region who stepped into the abyss would easily be injured. There wouldn't even be time for them to dodge.
In the distance, the breathing of Qin Xuan, Duan Chengtian and the others became heavy. Their gazes tightly stared at Duan Zhu's figure as they prayed that nothing would happen to him.
After a period of time, Duan Zhu got closer and closer to the abyss. It was as if he was in a demonic sea, and an endless stream of Devil Dao air flooded towards him like a tidal wave, containing a terrifying and suffocating force that desired to crush everything.
Even though Duan Zhu was a Peak Saint of the seventh step, he still felt an enormous pressure at this moment. The light of reincarnation was released to the limit as cracks appeared in the surrounding space, pushing the Devil Dao's air currents into the cracks.
At this moment, Duan Zhu finally understood how those clansmen died.
It was extremely possible that he was suppressed to death by the Devil Dao's energy flow.
Under the immense pressure of the Devil Dao, Duan Zhu finally arrived at the edge of the abyss. His body stopped there, his legs seemed to have been nailed, and he was unable to take another step forward.
"Roar!" A furious roar echoed out, and above Duan Zhu's head, the air current of the endless Devil Dao roiled, condensing into a demonic god like figure.
He wore a long black robe, and his eyes were as black as an abyss. There was not the slightest hint of light in his eyes, and what was even more shocking was that the aura his body was emitting was terrifying to the point of suffocating. Countless Evil' Will s surrounded him, as if they were the masters of this world.
As he stood there, the entire world was under his control.
This scene was extremely terrifying, causing Qin Xuan and the others in the distance to freeze. They were too shocked to say anything, or perhaps, they didn't dare to make even the slightest sound, afraid of alerting the demonic god.
Qin Xuan stared at the demon god and felt his heart oppressing to the extreme. All the blood in his body started boiling and roaring, as if it was going to burst out from his body, completely out of his control. After that, the Stellar Wanxiang Diagram in his body started to circulate, weakening the effect of the Evil' Will.
It wasn't only Qin Xuan who was facing such a situation. The others were feeling the same way as well. In comparison, the three Ancestors were much better off, but they were also under a lot of pressure.
At this moment, all of them had the same thought. What level of existence was this demonic god?
When he was alive, he had to be a divine figure without a doubt. It was unknown whether he was a Heavenly Monarch or an Empyrean.
However, even though the Evil' Will around the Demon God's body was roaring non-stop, his body didn't move at all. Like a statue, he didn't attack Duan Zhu below, causing Duan Zhu to let out a long sigh of relief.
If that demonic god came back to life, he would definitely die today.
Staring at the chasm in front of him, Duan Zhu's gaze dimmed. A deep sense of powerlessness arose within his heart and he felt that he was really useless.
So what if he had reached the peak of the seventh step? Not to mention entering the abyss, he couldn't even get close to the abyss.
If he were to take another half step forward, he might not be able to leave this place alive.
"Father …" Duan Ling Tian looked at Duan Zhu's figure in front of him and seemed to be able to understand his feelings in his heart. The opportunity his ancestor left behind was right before his eyes, yet he was powerless. This was a type of desolate feeling.
When Qin Xuan saw the scene in front of him, he was speechless for a long time.
With his strength, there was no way he could change the situation. That demon god's aura was too terrifying. It was likely that only a Saint of the ninth step would have any hope of defeating him.
Duan Zhu turned around with difficulty, seeming to want to withdraw.
However, just as he turned around, the eyes of the Demon God in the sky suddenly lit up with a trace of light. Soon after, those eyes became even more profound and terrifying, like the eyes of a real demon god.
"After so many years, are there still humans that have come to die?"
A cold and emotionless voice sounded out in the air. The demon god slightly lowered his head, and his pair of terrifying eyes stared at Duan Zhu's figure. His eyes didn't have the slightest ripple, as if he was looking at an ant.
At this moment, Duan Zhu felt an ice-cold feeling being emitted from his back. When he heard the voice that entered his ears, his body fiercely trembled. He suddenly raised his head and saw that the demonic god was looking at him.
"This …" Duan Zhu's gaze froze on the spot, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"How is this possible?" At this moment, the faces of Qin Xuan, Duan Chengtian and the others in the distance all became extremely pale. Their eyes were fixed on the demonic god, and they were completely unable to understand the scene before their eyes.
How did that demon god come back to life?
Duan Zhu didn't even step into the abyss and directly retreated. Could it be that this would cause the Demon God to awaken?
Even if their hearts were filled with questions, no one would give them an answer. Naturally, they had no time to ponder on such matters. Right now, they were already in a life-and-death situation.
The demonic god's revival … how were they supposed to escape?
"Lowly human, you deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes!" The Demon God spat out a cold voice. As he spoke, he extended his palm and slapped it towards Duan Zhu's body.
BOOM!
A huge, dark handprint descended from the sky, causing Duan Zhu's expression to change. An extremely powerful aura of reincarnation was released from his body, and he no longer held anything back. Both of his palms struck out at the same time, creating a rift in space.
The black hand seal fell into the crack and with a loud bang, the crack burst open. A terrifying force bombarded Duan Zhu's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood as his body explosively shot backwards!
