Chapter 1361 - 721: Exploration! Peril at Every Turn_2

In this cave, terrifying and eerie shadows squirm from time to time.

It is clearly a scene of hell!

"As expected, the Dao Corpse we encountered before climbed out from the Ten Thousand Gods Cave."

The Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect stood holding his sword, with eyes sharp as blades, gazing upon one aimlessly wandering Dao Corpse after another at the edge of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave below.

These Dao Corpses were wearing battle armor, vaguely recognizable as the Demon Race Heavenly Court battle armor they had obtained before.

In various shapes, there were giant oxen like mountains and apes with human-like figures!

However, they were few, only seven or eight in total.

Moreover, their cultivation levels were mostly around the Mixed Cave Early Stage.

Yet, Jiang Shu and some others did not want to take the initiative to act against these monsters.

After all, this place was the source of these Dao Corpses, and if any action was taken too loudly, who knows what might happen?

"Let’s sneak over quietly."

Jiang Shu suggested.

The Daoist Venerables all nodded slightly.

The Sect Leader of the Dan Fu Sect raised his hand and tossed out dozens of talismans from his sleeve, all shimmering with hazy brilliance, enveloping everyone’s bodies.

Escape Talisman!

Even the aura of a Venerable could be somewhat concealed by it.

Moreover, the few Daoist Venerables present had already established their own Dao Fields, isolating themselves from the outside world, making their auras already very faint.

"You old thing, you’re quite generous with your hand this time, throwing dozens at once!"

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect chuckled and spoke.

The Sect Leader of the Dan Fu Sect did not answer, only showing a somewhat helpless look on his face.

What he brought was already the sect’s stock.

It was precisely to prevent the current situation, and it was clear he made the right transport.

The Mixed Cave Daoist Venerables restrained their auras and descended bit by bit, employing various defensive measures.

And indeed, those Dao Corpses did not detect their presence and continued to wander aimlessly.

At this moment, an astonishingly colorful and eerie radiance suddenly erupted from the Ten Thousand Gods Cave below.

"What is this?"

Jiang Shu’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately used the pre-prepared measures.

In the intelligence map provided by the Heavenly Empress, it specifically marked that a certain colorful radiance would appear in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.

At that moment, the edge of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave buzzed, and one Dao Corpse after another suddenly crawled out from it, yet they did not notice Jiang Shu, beginning to fight frantically instead.

Two Venerable Dao Corpses engaged in a deadly battle, entangling and rolling, causing the surrounding mountains and rivers to collapse.

The originally quiet edge of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave was now in turmoil.

The terrifying spatial tremors rose and fell.

But the strong individuals present remained calm and composed due to their prior cautious preparations.

"So this is the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, truly a meeting gift the moment we arrive..."

Jiang Shu sighed in his heart, channeling power to protect himself.

The Daoist Venerables watched for a moment before standing at the entrance of the cave, heading downward.

The Ten Thousand Gods Cave has nine levels, each descending one becoming increasingly terrifying and perilous!

And it is said that the fiercest entity in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave hides at the deepest level.

They stepped inside and entered the second level, immediately witnessing a scorching and incredibly hot environment, a hell of ashes filled with countless flames.

Here, True Dragon Fire, Nanming Li Fire, Vermilion Bird True Fire, and other flames surged, yet perhaps due to the long passage of time, most of these flames had lost their power and were not worth collecting.

The strong individuals present scanned the area and abandoned the plan to scavenge, following

soon after, entering the Third Floor.

The environment of the Third Floor was entirely different from the second, appearing as a perfectly normal world, dense with layers of forest, teeming with life, with wild beasts continuously roaming around.

But...

In such a perilous place, how could there be such a flourishing scene?

Jiang Shu’s gaze swept over, noticing layers of mist spreading in the distance.

"That’s..."

The Sect Leader of the Creation Sect stared into the distance, as if something was happening within the mist.

As they gazed, the distant mist slowly dissipated, revealing the scene within.

There were many figures present, none of them from the Human Clan, and even a tall city and bustling marketplace appeared among them.

Yet from beginning to end, not a trace of sound arose, resembling a ghost city.

Jiang Shu felt a chill in his heart, his eyes narrowing.

At that moment, several Demon Race figures, seemingly alive, stepped out of the city and headed towards them.

"Be careful."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke softly.

Within moments, those terrifying aura-emitting Demon Venerables approached slowly, without any intention to attack, with one fixating its gaze on them.

"What kind of bizarre creatures are you, not joining the merry city life?"

What kind of creatures?

The Daoist Venerables were momentarily stunned, wondering if the Demon Venerable couldn’t recognize the Human Clan.

The Demon Venerables continued to scrutinize them, then snickered and swaggered away into the distance.

Jiang Shu merely watched them leave.

However, as those Demon Venerables moved far from the mist, they unwittingly became covered in an iron-gray and eerie Evil Qi.

Instantly transforming into the very Dao Corpses they had seen earlier!

"Hiss!"

The present Venerables drew a deep breath, turning their gaze towards the city.

In that city, the Demon Race wasn’t a minority, but once they left the city, they would transform into the Dao Corpses seen just moments ago?

The crowd felt a sense of unreality.

Everything here was incredibly bizarre.

Even the Sect Leader of Dao Yi Sect and Taiwu Daoist Venerable furrowed their brows.

Their fearlessness of everything here did not negate the necessity to ensure mutual safety when bringing other Daoist Venerables along.

"Indeed, it’s the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, extremely perilous. If we inadvertently wander here, we might not leave so easily,"

The Sect Leader of the Dan Fu Sect exclaimed.

Before their eyes lay a perilous land, and lacking any trace of Ao Qing, there appeared to be little reason to explore.

They proceeded onwards, directly following the massive pit descending to the Fourth Floor.

Upon reaching the Fourth Floor, the previously mountain-clear, river-song, and floral landscape vanished, replaced by a battlefield of ultimate devastation.

Genuine devastation!

Ruins everywhere, Dao marks densely scattered, space fissures appearing and disappearing...

No one doubted that this was perhaps the most intense battlefield, where they sensed something familiar in the distance.

Great Dao Heavenly Sound!

Upon sensing this familiar object, a thought arose in the minds of the Venerables.

"It seems that a Daoist Master has indeed fallen here, extremely perilous."

After reaching the Fourth Floor, they did not leave, since they had encountered traces here, evidence of something just arriving.

"Perhaps it’s a member of the Demon Race, let’s eliminate their fighting power first."

The Human Clan’s Daoist Venerables decisively considered.

As it was bound to turn into a battle, eliminating a few in advance was certainly not a loss.

As for who would strike, it would naturally be a joint effort!

The lion fights the rabbit with all its might, so in such a mud pit-like environment, naturally one must strike decisively!

Within moments, they advanced and soon saw a mountain range.

No!

It wasn’t a mountain range but a colossal corpse sprawling on the ground, as vast as mountains!

The corpse was suffused with terrifying aura.

Covered with charred marks as though bathed in thunder and fire, intimidating on sight.

From the vague outlines, the corpse seemed humanoid, or perhaps ape-like.

"This, this seems to be the Long-armed Ape Clan?"

The Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect frowned and spoke.

Though he rose to the position after the last purge.

He unquestionably had a profound knowledge of the Demon Race’s major royal clans.

Even if the object before them had been cleaved into a charred ruin, he could still discern the race through Dao Rhyme and aura.
