Chapter 16: Beneath the Abyss
Ye Chen had the urge to cry at the moment.
In the past 20 days, the bones of the whole body do not know how many lifetimes of bad luck have fallen. I don't know how many times I've folded.
Even before this demon ape died, he didn't let go of himself, and pulled himself down the abyss.
Ye Chen clutched the huge hair of the demon ape, and the soul power in the dead soul surged, like the sea feeding the river, surging towards the meridians of the whole body. Fortunately, there were only a few joints that were misaligned and cracked, but they were not shattered. Otherwise, even if you already have soul power, it will still be troublesome to heal new injuries and old injuries.
When the demon ape pushed the Chijin Ancient Tower down the abyss with all his might, it had exhausted all its vitality, and at this moment, it was crawling on the top of the ancient tower and was lifeless, obviously dead.
Beneath the abyss, there is a terrifying force that pulls the ancient tower. The balance of the Yuan Qi Net, which was originally formed with the joint efforts of more than a dozen Dust Slashing Realm masters, floated and sank above the abyss. But the Demon Ape's hard blow upset the balance.
The ancient tower fell heavily towards the abyss, Ye Chen lay on the back of the demon ape and couldn't move, he could only hear the harsh wind, and then there was no even the sound of the wind. There was a dead silence all around, and only the light of the red golden tower prevented the surroundings from completely falling into darkness.
The dead soul slowly moved, and the broken bones wrapped in soul power slowly began to repair. The effect of the soul element on cultivators is like the blood of ordinary people. As long as it doesn't hurt the soul, or the fatal part of the body, it can be slowly healed through soul power. In legend, ancient saints can even be reborn with a drop of blood.
I don't know how long it took, although Ye Chen was still a little weak, he was barely able to move, and when he stood up from the back of the demon ape, he only felt that his body was extremely heavy, as if there was a strong gravitational force under the abyss.
There was no longer silence around, and the sound of rushing water could be heard below. Ye Chen left the giant back of the demon ape and moved to the edge of the ancient tower, and with the light of the red golden tower, he saw a rushing underground river directly below, glowing with blue-black light, bottomless.
On the banks of the current, vegetation grows everywhere! In the vegetation, you can see a lot of broken walls. And behind the ruins and broken walls, a huge city gate towers under this abyss!
"What the hell is this place! Hades? Ye Chen's heart was extremely uneasy.
City gates, ruined walls, underground rivers. Combined, these three are clearly the standard architecture of the Terran city. It is a pity that behind the city gate is the wall of the abyss, and the walls on both sides of the gate are cut off by the abyss. But from the city gate, you can vaguely imagine the grandeur of this city in the past.
"Beneath this abyss there is a city! What is the force that has caused this city to sink into the abyss? ”
Ye Chen scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. I just feel that my cognition is a little shocked at the moment.
A few days ago, he was just a beggar who looked like a prisoner in Zhenbei City, and in a short period of time, or from the beginning of stepping into the forest of vain death, he encountered and saw one after another, and completely subverted himself. Even the powerhouses of the Dust Cutting Realm, which were almost invisible in Zhenbei City, appeared more than a dozen people at one time.
There was even one person who fell right in front of his eyes, in the hands of the demon ape!
Channeling, moving, cutting dust, and becoming one. Since the Ye family had records, the most powerful distant ancestor was only in the middle of the Dust Cutting Realm. The Ye family's pride in cultivating the mind of the Ye family's ancient jian, the highest state is to achieve the realm of unity.
Strictly speaking, the soul and spirit can only be regarded as a realm. Awakening the three souls and awakening the seven spirits, and cutting the mortal dust is the real step into the ranks of cultivators.
And after returning to the One Realm, there are other great realms, and Ye Chen is not clear. And all cultivators spend their lives pursuing only one goal, which is enlightenment!
However, these are too far away from Ye Chen, and the only goal now is to be able to cultivate to the Dust Cutting Realm, find a mysterious powerhouse, and carry a heavy blood feud on his body.
Ye Chen settled his thoughts for a moment and climbed onto the back of the demon ape again. Removing the attached sword from the back, and vaguely judging the location of the heart from the back, the soul element rushed to the sword and stabbed into the flesh of the demon ape.
Although the demon ape was dead, the essence of the whole body died with the three souls and seven spirits, and the physical body became no different from ordinary beasts.
Although I don't know when, the monks outside the abyss will pull the ancient tower up for the third time, but the corpse of the demon ape is on his side, and he has to quickly take out the soul pill of the demon ape.
According to the technique taught by Qing Yang, Ye Chen cut open the heart of the demon ape and took out the soul pill of the demon ape, a fist-sized cyan ball of light, floating in the palm of his hand and flickering!
"Soul Pill!" Feeling the powerful vitality fluctuations coming from the Soul Pill, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth cracked a chuckle. It's a blessing in disguise.
Desolate beasts, like humans, cultivate three souls and refine seven spirits, and swallow the essence of heaven and earth. By the time the beast dies, most of the vitality it has cultivated will dissipate with the soul. However, in the soul pill where the heart is weak, a small amount of soul elements will be stored.
Even if it is a small amount of soul element, the stored vitality is not known how many hours of cultivation it can be obtained! Refining the Soul Pill can quickly accumulate the vitality in the body.
Moreover, every soul hunter is a master of alchemy, and if it is absorbed after refining, it can transform the soul power of the soul pill to a greater extent.
If you forcibly absorb it, you will lose a vast majority of your vitality.
A soul pill that slashes the desolate beasts of the Dust Realm. The stored energy and vitality are extremely terrifying, and if they are placed on the black market unique to cultivators, they will inevitably sell a sky-high price!
You must know that the desolate beasts of the Dust Slashing Realm can be matched but not sought, and even if they encounter them, they will have to pay a great price if they want to kill and obtain the Soul Pill.
The Dust Slashing Realm Soul Pill, if refined, I am afraid that it will allow a cultivator in the early stage of the Soul Movement Realm to directly step through the middle stage of the realm and break through to the late stage of the Spirit Realm in an instant.
Although Ye Chen had been cultivating for thirteen years, he had awakened the Spirit Movement Realm for less than a month. What is most lacking is time and cultivation. The mind is mature and calm. Seeing the powerful soul pill floating in the palm of his hand, he couldn't control the young man's heart.
But Ye Chen also knew that his body was extremely weak at the moment, and when he absorbed this pure soul element, he was afraid that his body, which had not eaten for nearly ten days, would not be able to bear it.
And beneath this abyss, everything is unknown. I don't know what existence is sealed in this weird ancient tower, the bloodshot tower body, and the weird abyss city.
"Whew~"
Take a light breath and adjust your breathing. Ye Chen dug out a few pieces of meat from the back of the demon ape, took the blood and fur, and threw them to the underground river and the bank under the tower.
After a while, I saw that there was nothing unusual.
Ye Chen was a little relieved. Pinching his nose, he struggled to jump from the top of the tower into the underground river.
The underground river water was extremely cold, freezing Ye Chen's lips white, and entering the bones and marrow. The crimson-gold ancient pagoda was no more than half a foot from the river, remaining in mid-air. The strange tower gate seemed to have a bloodshot flow, extending into the river.
Ye Chen didn't care to observe carefully, the river was turbulent, and he took Ye Chen to run in the direction of the flowing water. Ye Chen hurriedly swam towards the riverbank, although he had already tested the river with the demon ape meat, he always felt that there was something lurking in the river.
