Chapter 683: Terrifying Storm, Natural Disasters Are Also Chances [6000 Words]
Now Huo Yutong has truly determined that this must be the underworld.
Only the underworld would be filled with so many negative forces and negative emotions that would affect her spirit unconsciously.
These negative and negative things all originate from the essence of the soul of the deceased, and are gradually worn away after death, overflowing throughout the underworld.
Huo Yutong hurriedly activated the spiritual filtering and soul protection functions on the martial soul armor.
Although this will consume more soul power and spiritual power, it must be done.
In uncharted territory, it is necessary to ensure that the mind is clear and calm.
As a layer of ice-blue light spread out from his brain, gradually descending, Huo Yutong felt that the pervasive silent erosion that originated from the world itself disappeared without a trace.
No wonder, this is a place where only gods can come.
In the middle of the Shenyuan Realm, this was a realm that was almost impossible to cultivate on the Douluo Continent, and it had already exceeded the normal limit to cultivate too much.
The cultivation of the third-level gods is poor, and the cultivation of spiritual power is only at this level.
If there is no corresponding countermeasure, it is even easy to be assimilated by the forces here.
That's all over.
Just when Huo Yutong confirmed that Qian Chaoguang was okay and was about to continue on the road.
Suddenly, the Eye of Destiny on her forehead suddenly sent out a tingling sensation in the direction she was heading, indicating that she was in danger.
Huo Yutong's face changed slightly, and the martial soul battle armor that was originally only half an extension of the armor was instantly revealed, enveloping her entire body.
She quickly removed the metal cable that was connected to the trailer, and forced herself into the sky with the package of spiritual power, looking into the distance.
Under the influence of the spiritual realm, the distant scenery is clear at a glance.
"That's ...... What's that? In the sea of spirits, the Snow Emperor, who had shared his vision, muttered.
At the limit of the horizon, a black wall like a tall building was pressing towards the location of the two of them.
On closer inspection, it appears to be some kind of semi-embodied matter formed by the agglomeration of clouds and mist.
Some of them resemble sandstorms that blow in autumn in some northern cities.
It's just that the black giant air mass that roars like a tsunami is much more ferocious than the sandstorm.
The black air mass that could not be seen at the top of the table tumbled violently, gathering a large amount of dead earth and making irregular movements, constantly releasing a piercing roar.
Although there was no wind element here, this super giant black air mass like a hurricane was stronger than any group-level wind forbidden spell.
Even if it was tens of thousands of meters away, Huo Yutong had already felt the strong air current.
The purple grass on the ground had been blown to its knees by the wind.
But their tough roots and resilient fibrous structure keep them firmly rooted in the dead soil and not broken by the wind.
The moment this black storm came into contact with the spiritual realm, Huo Yutong seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes, which were already somewhat serious, changed dramatically in an instant.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the spiritual realm condensed in the middle of the Shenyuan Realm had already been shattered.
Didn't even resist for a second.
Huo Yutong directly withdrew his spiritual power, smashed it directly from a height of 100 meters, and fell to the ground fiercely.
As she landed, she didn't make any extra movements, lifted the cart and ran wildly towards a small rocky mound behind her.
Huo Yutong swore that she had never run so fast in her life.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the rules, any soul power would dissipate the moment it was directly released, and she would definitely light up all the ninth-level thrusters on the martial soul battle armor.
In just a few seconds, Huo Yutong ran out for a distance of several kilometers, which was already several times faster than the speed of sound.
An unsightly sliding shovel forcibly stopped in front of the black rocky hill, and the long sword that had lost its elemental power appeared in Huo Yutong's hand.
With the surging soul power in the body, the yin and yang complementary twin soul cores collided fiercely, pressurizing the soul power in the body without reservation.
An extremely sharp ice-attribute power rekindled this soul-forging sword.
The terrifying sword intent condensed to the extreme stabbed fiercely into the stone.
Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme!
Not only that, Huo Yutong's left hand was also filled with a strong ice blue, causing the temperature here to plummet.
The power of the Extreme Ice exploded in the stones, sending up a huge amount of smoke and dust.
Emperor's Palm: Great Cold and No Snow!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of terror echoed throughout the wilderness at this moment.
Except for the whining of the wind, all that was left was the sound of the rock being cut through and the dead earth cracking.
Huo Yutong no longer spared the consumption of soul power at all, and the two strongest single attacks, the Emperor Sword and the Emperor Palm, were released in turn, and they bombarded towards the bottom of this rocky mountain.
It is not known exactly what structure the rocks that make up the mountain.
It's just a rock, but it's harder than an ordinary soul forging alloy.
Even if Huo Yutong bombarded with Super Douluo's cultivation, he could only cause a small piece of rock to fall off and explode each time.
"Snow Emperor, Octagon, come out and help!" Huo Yutong roared in his heart, "Don't save your soul power anymore, use the eighth-level cracking cannon to bombard directly!" β
The soul power has been output to the maximum without reservation.
Even the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, which had not been used for a long time, was forced to manifest at this moment.
Huo Yutong held the sword in his left hand to release the Ice Pole Peerless, and with his right hand, he used the Dark Gold Dread Claw to collide with the rock, and blasted it with the Great Cold and Snowless.
In the spiritual realm, the black wall, which symbolized death, was advancing at a terrifying pace.
That was the power of heaven and earth that Huo Yutong couldn't compete with at all.
As long as she is contaminated a little, even if she has a Super Douluo-level cultivation, she will definitely fall here.
It was the first time that the Octagonal Xuanbing Grass and the Snow Emperor had heard Huo Yutong order them in such an urgent voice.
Now he didn't bother to ask what was going on, and the Snow Emperor immediately handed over the auxiliary control system of the Martial Spirit Battle Armor to the Octagonal Xuanbing Grass.
She herself took out two eighth-level pyrolysis cannons from the storage soul guide on the martial soul armor, and filled them into the sealed milk bottle with her hands and feet.
A slight humming sound unique to the core circle sounded, and two crimson cracking rays suddenly surged towards the place where Huo Yutong was attacking.
"Snow Emperor, hit both sides! Fast! It doesn't matter if you hit me, hurry up! Huo Yutong's tone changed a little.
The earth and stones splashed, and the sword qi was agitated.
If the Emperor Sword and the Darkgold Dreadclaw had their intelligence, they might never have imagined that they would one day be used to dig for stones.
And the effect is still very poor.
About a minute later.
Finally, a miniature crypt large enough to hold two people appeared in front of him.
The cavern exhibits a large angle of turning arc, so that the deepest part is not directly connected to the outside world.
This is the result of the joint efforts of Huo Yutong, Snow Emperor, and Octagonal Xuanbing Grass.
Ignoring anything else, Huo Yutong quickly dragged the unconscious Qian Chaoguang in first, and then put away the trailer and lifted a black boulder next to him.
When a large amount of dead soil was backfilled, he quickly rushed into it.
The black boulder becomes a natural portal, blocking the entire entrance to the cavern.
Huo Yutong still felt a little unsafe.
In the Eye of Fate, a large amount of spiritual power diffused out, completely enveloping the boulder and the edge of the entrance to the crypt.
When she had done all this, a terrifying black storm rushed right from above, enveloping the entire rocky hill.
Listening to the rumbling wind of the outside world like muffled thunder, and the terrifying roar like a resentful spirit, Huo Yutong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The spirit and body, which had been tense, also weakened and relaxed at this moment.
Using soul skills in the underworld, the consumption of soul power is really too terrifying.
In less than two minutes, the soul power in her body that had been used for a long time had almost been exhausted, and only a shallow layer remained.
She took out a level 8 high-energy compressed milk bottle and replaced the one that had been used up in the martial soul armor, so as to slowly recover her soul power.
In the midst of the sea of knowledge, the Snow Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Little boy, what was that black storm like a sandstorm just now?" You seem to know. β
"It was the wind of rest, my brother told me a long, long time ago when he lulled me to sleep. But at that time, I listened to it as a story. I never thought it really existed. β
Huo Yutong's face showed an expression of the rest of his life.
The face armor of the Martial Spirit Battle Armor partially melted away, revealing the forehead covered in cold sweat.
If it weren't for the reminder from the Eye of Fate, coupled with her timely response, it might have been really bad this time.
"The winds of rest? What is that? Emperor Xue wondered.
Not only the Snow Emperor, but even the Octagonal Xuanbing Grass, which had always been just sleeping in his spare time, came over, revealing curiosity and listening quietly.
Huo Yutong explained: "According to my elder brother, this is a natural phenomenon that can only erupt in a plane where the power of death is extremely strong, and when the space is unstable. β
"Although the wind of rest here is not called 'wind', it is not caused by the movement of air currents, but by the instability of space, so the destructive power is extremely terrifying."
"Even if it is as strong as a high-level undead creature, it must bury itself deep in the depths of the dead soil before the wind of rest arrives, at least half a meter above the ground, otherwise the soul fire is at risk of being extinguished."
"Only by condensing the soul of mourning, that is, the existence of the monarch level, can barely survive in the wind of rest. But it will also be weakened by this terrifying storm, and there is a possibility of injury, or even downgrade and fall. β
"So that's why I'm so anxious to call for your help in digging up this black rock. My brother and I are alive, and you are not undead. I am afraid that even if I am buried in the soil of death, I may not be able to completely insulate myself from the effects of the winds of rest. β
The Snow Emperor was shocked: "Even the existence of Elder Yin's level will be affected by the Wind of Rest?" This must be considered a natural disaster, right? β
Huo Yutong shook his head: "On the contrary, the Wind of Rest is extremely deadly to human beings. But for the undead, this is not only not a natural disaster, but a blessing, a creation, and even an opportunity for soul advancement. β
"That's what my brother said at the timeβthe Wind of Rest is the root of dead creatures, bringing life to corpses, bones, and soul fragments everywhere, breeding them into skeletons, lichs, zombies, and the undead."
"Under the influence of the wind of rest, the sleeping soul will gradually grow and grow. But with life, it also brings death. β
"As an undead creature, directly exposed to the wind of rest, the soul will slowly solidify, dry up, and die. Even the most powerful Golden Skulls and Lich Kings are no exception, except that they last longer. Only a monarch-level existence that embodies the soul of mourning can barely compete with it. β
"The wind of rest is a gift from Heaven and a punishment from Heaven. It brings life, but also death. Listen quietly to the howling of the wind of rest, which can bring peace to the souls of the dead. β
Speaking of this, Huo Yutong's voice paused.
She thought seriously for a few seconds before continuing:
"Perhaps...... What my brother said wasn't all right. The winds of rest not only tranquil the souls of the dead, but also the souls of the living. I felt calmer and more relaxed than I had ever felt before, and the deterioration of my brother's soul injury had stopped. β
Octagon shook his body in agreement.
The Snow Emperor also nodded and said, "Indeed, I also feel a slight increase in my soul power, and my previous impatience has all calmed down. I just don't know, how long will this wind of rest blow? Even if it can prevent Asakamitsu's injuries from getting worse, staying here all the time is not an option. β
Huo Yutong took out a mechanical watch from the storage soul guide and glanced at the time:
"It's twelve o'clock in the Douluo Continent, and according to my biological clock, it should be twelve o'clock in the morning. Wait until this wind of rest is over. We need to measure the detailed timing and duration of the outbreak. β
"Then before that, let's take a break, and Octagon and I will watch for you first."
The Snow Emperor's soul body appeared at this moment, merging with the Dead Breath on the side, revealing only half of his body.
The octagonal Xuanbing Grass also bent the small ice-blue horn in front of it in the sea of knowledge, and let out a surging "um".
"Okay, then please Sister Xuedi and Octagon." Huo Yutong did not shirk and immediately entered a state of recovery.
She needs a break so much now.
Ever since she fought with Seagod Douluo, her spirit has been tense.
Even when the soul ring was fused, the spirit was highly tense, and it had been at least dozens of hours now.
In this way, it is also necessary to take a real break.
Soon, a full twelve hours flew by.
The whistling and strange sounds were gone.
The winds of rest ceased.
Huo Yutong's eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and a touch of purple gold erupted.
Twelve hours passed, and she felt that her spiritual power that had advanced to the middle stage of the Shenyuan Realm had completely stabilized, and even her soul had grown a little.
A wind of rest was even better than her own retreat to consolidate her realm.
For the living and the undead below the realm of mourning, the wind of rest can indeed be called deadly.
But again, it is also a great opportunity for mental power and soul passivity improvement.
If the Wind of Rest can blow every once in a while, the deterioration rate of the injuries on the soul of Thousand Morning Light will drop sharply.
Push the black boulder and climb up from the crypt.
The first thing Huo Yutong did after he came out was to find a huge black boulder and began to cut it in turn with the Emperor Sword and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw.
It is not known whether the next wind of rest will come, or when.
To be on the safe side, she was going to make a large, sealed sarcophagus out of the black rock that would resist the winds of rest.
The next time the wind of rest returns, just put the sarcophagus in the pit of the dead earth and lie down again.
It's a lot faster than digging rocks.
The winds of rest are filtered through the dead soil and black rocks, enough to be transformed into something that can benefit both living and ordinary souls.
If it weren't for the material and time constraints, it would be better to make the black rock coffin a double layer and fill it with dead soil in the middle.
It will also be more convenient to use.
But it's a pity that there are not such large giant black rocks, so Huo Yutong can only give up and retreat to the current method.
Although lying in the sarcophagus and buried in the ground seems a little unlucky.
But......
At this time, I can't manage so much.
Everything is based on practicality.
With the huge newly carved black coffin, Huo Yutong continued on his way in the direction of the wind of rest.
At her current level of cultivation, although she still needs to eat, under the effect of her soul power, the interval between two meals is much longer than that of ordinary people.
There are still a lot of fresh ingredients to use in the storage soul guide carried by Qian Chaoguang.
But in this extreme environment, Huo Yutong did not choose these things that required more time and energy to cook.
As she hurried along, a dark black gelatinous rectangular block with the scent of medicine appeared in her hand.
The appearance is very similar to the cockroach protein block in "Snowpiercer".
As soon as I took a bite, a warm current erupted in my body.
A sense of energy and satiety comes naturally.
Huo Yutong's expression twitched slightly, and he continued to eat a whole piece.
Of course, this is not made by cockroaches.
This is an emergency military ration developed by the Immortal Empire, also known as the Super Energy Gel.
It is made from several natural treasures and certain plant extracts, and tastes similar to a bit of tough yokan.
It can provide super high heat and energy, and help soul masters recover their soul power and mental power.
The only downside is probably ......
This thing was deliberately made to be unpalatable, and very unpalatable.
Even Huo Yutong, the maker himself, felt that it was a little difficult to eat.
With the undead empire's food attainments, it is not difficult to make a good meal.
At first, this thing was quite delicious under Huo Yutong's concoction, and it was once sought after by all the soul masters in the Immortal Empire.
However, it is precisely because this thing is made so delicious that it does not have the emergency effect it should have.
This kind of super energy gel, which is convenient to eat, provides a lot of energy, and has auxiliary effects, has become a thing in short supply at that time.
Often, as soon as it is sent, it is quickly eaten out because the texture and taste are too good.
High-level soul masters and soul masters who are relatively wealthy in contribution points even began to exchange a large amount of food in place of the daily diet of three meals a day.
As a last resort, Qian Chaoguang had no choice but to make this decision, so Huo Yutong changed the recipe and made this thing into a taste that was difficult to swallow.
Otherwise, before the emergency, they will all be eaten.
Huo Yutong was eating the super energy gel that tasted very unpleasant in his mouth, while walking on the empty and barren purple wilderness.
There seemed to be nothing here but the black rocky hills, the purple-black dead soil, and the purple grass that was everywhere.
There are no mountains, no rivers, and no other life.
The darkness that never dissipated all day long shrouded the earth like a haze, and only the broken edge with spiritual power could see the scenery a meter away.
She just kept walking on in a dull way.
Suddenly, the Eye of Fate once again sounded an omen of extreme danger.
This time, Huo Yutong became familiar with it, far less panicked and short-spirited than last time.
She and the Snow Emperor who appeared outside the Spirit Sea controlled an Earth Elemental Split Soul Guide, and easily cut a large amount of dead soil along with the purple grass on it, and lifted it up with spiritual power.
In just a dozen seconds, a neat square pit has been excavated.
Huo Yutong calmly put away the trailer, threw the black sarcophagus into it, and lay down next to the unconscious Qian Chaoguang and covered the coffin.
The Snow Emperor used his spiritual power to stuff back the neatly cut large piece of soil, and then passed through the layers of barriers and returned to Huo Yutong's sea of knowledge.
After the two of them had done all this, about a minute later, the wind of rest in the whistling breath blew through the land, letting out a demonic oozing cry.
Huo Yutong looked at the mechanical watch in his hand.
The hands again point to the position of twelve o'clock, and every minute and second is correct.
If nothing else, the wind of rest will blow at 12 a.m. and last until 12 p.m. the next day.
Although there is no light or heat from the sun, it will always look like it is shrouded in black mist.
But the wind of rest clearly divides the underworld into a unique "day" and "night".
Twelve hours "day" and twelve hours "night".
Now Huo Yutong doesn't have to think about the problem of time allocation, just leave with his head bored.
Twelve hours later, the wind of rest ceased again.
The energetic Huo Yutong rose up from the coffin and embarked on an unknown journey again.
I never thought that this walk would be a whole month.
Every twelve hours, the wind of rest would arrive on time like sunrise and sunset, forcing Huo Yutong to rest.
Counting the time it took to descend and absorb the soul ring, it had been a month since they descended on this suspected underworld.
[A brother with a big brain guessed the identity of the crazy woman, I won't say who it is, hehe]
