Chapter 21: The Altar of Death
Chapter 21: The Altar of Death
Gu Yang looked for these undead creatures like a madman, and the feeling of absorbing the soul fire was a great temptation for Gu Yang, and the refreshing feeling brought by the increase in strength made Gu Yang forget the pain caused by the wound.
As Gu Yang killed more and more undead, the undead became more and more difficult to find, and many times, the shadow of the undead could not be seen for half an hour.
"It's almost time to go." Gu Yang muttered to himself and continued to walk towards the depths of the Guyun Mountain Range, in order to gain strength, Gu Yang let go.
Along the way, the atmosphere was very oppressive, the trees had completely lost their vitality, they had all withered, Gu Yang could feel when he closed his eyes, and around him, those strange characters were getting denser and denser, like a black river flowing towards the center.
All life began to disappear under the influence of this black river, and it is probably because of this that those wild beasts will flee to the periphery.
Gu Yang could already feel that these black characters were robbing him of his vitality, but fortunately, the Shen Zi in Gu Yang's soul was powerful, completely blocking this suction outside, otherwise, within half an hour, Gu Yang would die because of the passage of too much vitality.
Exhaling heavily, Gu Yang set off again with apprehension, what was ahead, Gu Yang didn't know.
On the other side, Gu Yu and her big stupid ape are also getting closer and closer to the core of the Guyun Mountain Range, which is a place that Gu Lie has never walked to, and the degree of danger can be imagined. Gu Yu is a notoriously curious baby, completely unresistant to this unknown thing, and completely involuntarily ignores the crisis.
But rarely, this time, her face was surprisingly solemn, if Gu Yang saw it, she would definitely be surprised, no one would have thought that Gu Yu would still be so serious.
The big stupid ape standing upright under her also changed, there was some fear in her eyes, as if she knew something terrifying hidden inside, and the strangest thing was that she also had a way to resist the power that sucked life, and was not affected in the slightest.
At this time, Gu Ling also began to set foot in the land where life passed, but then retreated, and then the signal representing the abstention bloomed again, and Gu Ling abstained.
Then Gu Nan also abstained and didn't insist any longer, now only Gu Yang, Gu Yu, and Gu Yi and the three of them still insisted, and the goals of the three of them were very clear, that is, something in the core area.
The core area of the Guyun Mountain Range is not the highest peak of the Guyun Mountain Range, but the valley between the two giant peaks, where all the powerful desolate beasts surround it, and there are many legends about it, because no one can break through the blockade of the powerful desolate beasts, so the most legendary version is that there is a peerless treasure guarded by all the desolate beasts there, but over the years, I don't know how many strong people have tried to enter it, but no one has succeeded.
Gu Yang's purpose now is no longer a simple investigation, the appearance of the undead has made Gu Yang think more about the things inside, there may be more powerful undead there, Gu Yang wants to use their power to break through the shackles in front of him.
The nameless magic technique on Gu Yang's body began to operate involuntarily, absorbing the power of plundering vitality around him, they plundered vitality, but Gu Yang plundered them. There were too many surprises that the Nameless Spell brought him, each of them was an extremely good ability, restoring the flesh and meridians, strengthening the flesh and blood, transforming into the power of the wind, and now the ability to absorb these strange powers appeared, Gu Yang began to wonder if this Nameless Spell was invincible. When the old man taught Gu Yang's nameless technique, he didn't introduce it too much, and even the old man didn't know what the nameless technique would do.
said that it was a magic formula, but in fact, Gu Yang did not take the initiative to cultivate it, Gu Yang just accidentally saw an ancient book of the old man, and as a result, the content of the book seemed to be engraved in Gu Yang's mind, and it could not be eliminated, and then the almighty white energy appeared, and the old man was also puzzled by this change.
"Since you can absorb such a barren power, then I will call you desolate in the future, and the space that you helped me open up in my forehead is called the desolate domain, although I can't get your approval now, but one day, I will make you surrender." Gu Yang said these inexplicable words to his hands, but as Gu Yang spoke, he felt in a trance that the white energy in his body had reacted.
Suddenly, Gu Yang was stunned, and said to himself with a dumb smile: "How can the energy understand what I say, if you let Gu Ling know that I have done such a stupid thing, you will definitely laugh at me to death." ”
The further he went, the more gloomy the sky became, the air became a little cold, and without the moon, Gu Yang could only rely on his eyes to see the surrounding environment clearly in order to find a way forward.
Suddenly, Gu Yang stopped, stood there stunned, and a slight horror appeared in his eyes, and then this surprise swept through Gu Yang's soul like a storm, and a cool breath rose on his forehead.
What appeared in front of Gu Yang's eyes was too shocking, and the woods came to an end, and they also reached the core, a valley without a name.
The valley is very large, but there is a building that completely fills the entire valley, although it is in the dark night, but it does not affect the magnificence of this magnificence to the ancient sun.
Made of black stone, white jade as the platform, the grand breath sprayed in front of Gu Yang without scruples, Gu Yang felt that in front of it, everything was an ant, and a sense of powerlessness arose.
The black stone is the bottom, heavy, and the white jade is the platform, which is luxurious. This is just an altar, Gu Yang really didn't dare to think about what such an altar was used for, Gu Yang felt that his brain was a little insufficient, it was really a pity.
On the altar, all kinds of pictures of death are displayed, ghosts, skeletons, and all kinds of undead creatures are engraved on the altar, although there is no light, but Gu Yang can clearly see the picture above, and that kind of terrifying aura makes Gu Yang a little unbearable.
Subconsciously, Gu Yang took a step back, this scene was already beyond the limit of Gu Yang's thinking.
Gu Yang felt that the power of death generated when the life passed away was converging towards the altar, and the rich power of death in the altar made Gu Yang a little suffocated, so thick that Gu Yang could see the mist formed by the power of death, gray and white, exactly the same color as those crystal nuclei, Gu Yang's body actually began to absorb these death qi little by little, the speed was very slow, as if he was afraid of something, but the absorption of this speed was already considerable, at least ten times faster than the usual cultivation.
The gray power of death is a power that even the old man is very afraid of, but now it has been easily absorbed by Gu Yang, and there is no domineering power as the power of death at all.
The altar is too big, Gu Yang can't see the edge, but Gu Yang's side alone has already made Gu Yang unable to imagine how strong the person who built this altar is, and building such a building that can surpass the majesty of nature can be described as a miraculous workmanship. The power contained in the altar is constantly igniting the soul fire, Gu Yang's eyes are full of green flames, Gu Yang looked at the altar, and he didn't see these little guys in comparison at first.
Groups of skeletons gathered less than a hundred feet in front of Gu Yang, most of these skeletons had green soul fire, only a few were at the level of Captain Undead, the soul flame was black, but what frightened Gu Yang the most was a purple flame. The level of the undead creatures is very strange, the green soul fire, the strength is equivalent to the desolate beast of one to six stars, like the undead captain that Gu Yang met before, in fact, it is just the undead whose soul fire is at the green level, although there is a black soul fire because of the strength of the six stars, but in terms of strength, there is a big gap with the real undead captain, according to Gu Yang's conjecture, the black soul fire should be equivalent to the desolate beast of seven to nine stars, in other words, the undead who flashed with the purple soul fire in front of him is an invincible existence beyond the nine stars.
Gu Yang thought of this, he was really scared into a cold sweat, if Gu Yang couldn't help but go out just now, he would really die without a place to be buried, these thousands of undead creatures, even if they consume it, it is enough to consume Gu Yang to death, but then put the energy in front of Gu Yang, how could Gu Yang not be moved at all, but this time it is impossible to use brute force, and only by tricks can he obtain enough energy to break through.
Gu Yang retreated hundreds of zhang, there were too many opponents, Gu Yang didn't want to be discovered by them, now that Gu Yang was in the place, there was no way to enter and exit freely, if he was discovered, Gu Yang would die for life.
From time to time, a team of six would appear from the direction of the altar, and Gu Yang would kill it at the first time, and every time he rushed up, Gu Yang was like a wolf who saw a lamb. However, more than ninety percent of the white energy generated now went to the wasteland, and only a pitiful part remained in the meridians, all, it was difficult for Gu Yang to fill his meridians.
At this time, the ancient one also arrived, and when he saw this huge altar that was rare in the world, the shocking feeling also swept over him. But it didn't take long for the Ancient One to see the undead creatures gathered under the altar. At this time, Gu Yang saw the trace of Gu Yi, Gu Yang saw his expression when he saw the undead, he was a little stunned, but he didn't seem to be very frightened, although there was some surprise, but it was only surprise.
Could it be that the other party is also like himself, has some adventures? Gu Yang was very puzzled in his heart, but soon Gu Yang was relieved, Gu Yi was originally a waste who could not become a celestial powerhouse like him, and he couldn't even cultivate a little bit of natural power, but now he has the strength to enter the core area of the Guyun Mountain Range, and his strength will definitely not be weak, and Gu Yang did not feel the breath of a celestial powerhouse on him, that is to say, Gu Yi is probably not a heavenly powerhouse.
To be able to obtain such strength, and not to be a natural powerhouse, it is obvious that there must be some great adventure.
Gu Yang smiled secretly in his heart, the two people who were the most useless to the village were the first two people to arrive here, which was too ironic. Gu Yi looked at those undead creatures, and knew that he couldn't do anything, so he retreated a hundred feet like Gu Yang, and in this way, he also saw Gu Yang's figure.
"Gu Yang?" Gu Yi still has a good impression of Gu Yang, who is also a double waste in Gulei Village, in fact, he is also a difficult brother, he has survived under the eyes of others since he was a child, and he has worked hard to cultivate in order to be recognized by the villagers, and it seems that there is one more one more now, that is, they all have good adventures.
Gu Yang can come here, Gu Yi was not very surprised, Gu Yang's usual training Gu Yi saw it, and Gu Yi still admired Gu Yang.
And Gu Yang also knows Gu Yi very well, although he doesn't know how strong his current strength is, but Gu Yang has already discovered that Gu Yi's strength is extraordinary before entering the Gu Yun Mountain Range, although Gu Yi has a way to hide his strength, but Gu Yang can see some clues from the fluctuation of his soul, Gu Yi is not simple.
