Chapter 17: The Underground City
After descending the stairs, there is a high platform in a radius of tens of miles, one section of the high platform is connected to 9,999 steps, and the other end is connected to a suspension bridge. Su Yi and Yu Yu walked towards each other, standing on the edge of the suspension bridge and looking down. The bridge was not made of wood, but rather of quicksand, which was invisible, but was built here to become a suspension bridge. And under the suspension bridge, the quicksand is still flowing, and the squirming on the suspension bridge is constantly wriggling, and these quicksands seem to be inexhaustible.
"This quicksand, the legend is that the emperor's, flesh and blood are derived, so it is endless, immortal and indestructible!" Yu Yu spoke in a loud voice, but he was concise and to the point, not verbose.
After Yu Yu's reminder, Su Yi suddenly remembered an ancient book he saw when he was in retreat in the Heart Moon Domain. This ancient book is not a record of the divine power method of Shinto, but a miscellaneous record of the wild history of the 80,000-year Divine Dynasty. Among them, there is a record of a strange thing, this kind of foreign object is called Diling Sand, which is easy to understand, as the name suggests. According to records, this Emperor Lingsha is the period of the Emperor You, the world is in turmoil, when the war is surging, there is an emperor who falls, just because his heart is unwilling to be angry, and then after death, the body floats in the universe, I don't know what has happened, his body can't help but not decay, it turned out to be melting, this melting is not dissolving, in the words of a modern society, some are biased towards molecular dismemberment, reorganization, forming another creature. These creatures are like living quicksands, and although they have no spirituality, they have a strong obsession that devours everything. The world after tomorrow was decided, Emperor Ping ascended the throne, and this newborn creature was also discovered from outside the sky and reported to Emperor Ping. After seeing this thing, Emperor Ping's face changed greatly, and he said that he was not clear, so he personally sealed and destroyed all the energy he had, and then threw it into the endless dark universe. Because it is a new creature born from the mutation of the emperor's corpse, and it wriggles and moves like sand, so in the records, this item is called the emperor's spirit sand.
However, the record that Su Yi saw was not something from the Ancient God Era, could it be that Yu Yu was saying that this was a foreign object similar to Emperor Lingsha? It's the Emperor Lingsha of the Age of the Ancient Gods! If it is transformed by the corpse of the emperor of the ancient gods, then it is not comparable to the emperor spirit sand of the god dynasty!
Thinking of this, Su Yi inadvertently retreated half a step back, after all, the thing of Emperor Lingsha is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, if it is accidentally contaminated with a trace, it will be invaded in the body in an instant, and the next thing to wait for is to be devoured alive. What's more, this is a remnant of the ancient gods, how can it be easily determined that it is weird?
Yu Yu was a qualified guard, and when Su Yi retreated half a step, he had already stepped forward, completely blocking Su Yi behind him with half of his body. Through Yu Yu's body, Su Yi looked down the suspension bridge, his pupils dilated in an instant, and his face was horrified.
At the end of this suspension bridge, there is a magnificent and glorious palace, but this palace has been eroded by the years and become mottled, but you can vaguely see the former glory of this palace from the remaining clues. Even on the stone pillars on both sides, there are traces of civilization in the era of the ancient gods, and above the main hall, there is a magnificent shape, and the complicated pattern of the road pattern, which makes people fascinated but dare not understand, for fear that the Tao left by the ancient gods is too profound, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it and find it difficult to extricate yourself. At that time, they will become slaves of the Tao, which is also recorded in history, and is called the Taoist servant, and is also called Deadpool. The palace is not a complete shape, but a facet with a smooth cut, which can be seen to be clean and merciless when cut down.
In this half-sectional palace, there is a seat, and on the seat sits a figure with a golden sword. This figure is roughly estimated to be dozens of zhang tall from a distance, he is wearing an imperial robe, with an imperial crown hanging on his head, and he is an emperor. Even if this emperor has lost all his flesh and blood, only bones remain, and he can no longer hide his noble temperament, and the momentum of ruling everything and overlooking all living beings during his lifetime.
On either side of the emperor, there was a stone sculpture, all of which were strangely shaped, and one stone sculpture was a monster with nine heads, and these nine heads were of different races. The stone carving on the other side has only one head, but has nine bodies, like a line that involves nine pets. But whether it is nine heads or one head, in the eyes of these two monsters, there is a ferocious, cruel desire to kill. Needless to say, these are two fierce beasts and evil beasts.
Suddenly, while looking, Su Yi's gaze was fixed on the footsteps of this emperor's skeleton, where there was a figure with his arms stretched forward and not moving. Seeing this figure, Su Yi and Yu Yu glanced at each other, this figure looked very familiar, like Yan Ping.
Yu Yu took the lead and stepped on the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge made of Emperor Lingsha seemed to be swallowed up by time, without spirituality, Yu Yu stepped on the suspension bridge, only swayed slightly, but there was no scene of devouring. Yu Yu turned around and signaled to Su Yi for safety, and Su Yi followed Yu Yu's footsteps and walked forward.
The suspension bridge is very long, and although it extends downward, it does have a normal slope and is not steep. The two of them walked and flew together, and soon came to the front of this faceted palace, but when they walked out of the suspension bridge and stepped on the ground of the palace, the black and purple mist they had encountered in the outside world before turned into waves of qi at this time, like a river branch pouring back, and like a waving long whip, whistling.
Swish!
Yu Yu's eyes were quick, and he reached out and took out the Five Emperor Sword from behind his back, the sword body buzzed, and the blade bloomed with a little spiritual light, the sword qi flew, and there was a whirlpool of qi coiling, directly blocking and cutting off the black and purple qi waves. The black and purple qi waves were broken, and they were like two long snakes, detouring from both sides, as if spiritual, knowing that Yu Yu was very strong, and turned to attack Su Yi, who was slightly weaker.
Since Su Yi entered the God Realm, except for the sensation caused by him when he became a god, he has not taken any other actions. Since entering the Tiger Army, there has been nothing too surprising to move, except for the rectification of the people in the Tiger Army, who are dissatisfied with themselves, it is a period of more than a month, two months of retreat and practice, study ancient books, enrich their knowledge, and broaden their horizons. For the gods, don't say that one month or two months, even if it is a year or two, it is just a flick of a finger, so it is almost impossible to make any big growth in such a short period of time.
But Su Yi is not an ordinary god, whether it is the supreme treasure he carries, or the supernatural powers, they are all made them jealous, so that others have a slim chance of obtaining them in this life or even in the next life! I don't dare to say that the God Realm is invincible, but at least in this realm, even if Su Yi is invincible, it is whimsical for others to want to keep him!
Su Yi's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the sea of qi in the dantian surged, and the cultivation was sprayed out, and he pressed down with his palm, and there was an air flow gushing in the palm of his hand, with the help of the power of the gushing shock, Su Yi turned over and jumped into the air, and at the same time, his five fingers were opened, and there were streamers gathering at his fingertips, and with Su Yi's cold snort, five slender beams of light suddenly shot out, and these five beams of light were staggered and intertwined, rushing in all directions. Its other palm clenched, turned into a giant fist, and smashed it into the ground.
Rumble!
The giant fist hit the ground, and the fist shadow burst, like a tiger descending the mountain, a hungry tiger pounced on food, setting off smoke and dust flying, and the energy impacted, and the ripples could be followed by the naked eye, directly discharging the black and purple air flow to all sides.
And behind Su Yi, Yu Yu had once again carved a path from the black and purple air current, Su Yi turned over and jumped, and finally entered the palace. These black-purple currents seemed to be very afraid of the palace, or the remains of the dead ancient gods in the palace. It didn't even dare to touch the edge of this facet of the palace!
After standing firm, Su Yi turned his back to the palace, and he was facing the direction below the high platform. After seeing it clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Within his field of vision, under that high platform, in this black and purple mist, there is a more magnificent and magnificent underground city! The buildings in that city are continuous, standing deep underground, I don't know how many years. Although it is covered by a black and purple mist, it is vaguely revealed that it is like a giant dragon entrenched, mysterious and ancient. And when you look up, you can't see the edge at all, it seems to occupy the whole underground. At the same time, the exquisite small tower in Su Yi's Purple Mansion began to faintly alarm, if it hadn't been suppressed by Su Yi's Yuan Shen, I am afraid that it would have rushed out of the Purple Mansion and rushed to that ancient city.
Su Yi thought in his heart, could this small tower have something to do with this city?
Su Yi turned his head and looked at Yu Yu, saw Yu Yu's solemn face, and followed his gaze again. I saw that it was Yan Ping standing at the foot of the bones of the ancient gods, and when the distance was closer, he could see Yan Ping's state clearly, his whole body was covered with frost, his true qi was condensed into solid, and all kinds of horses were like wind blades, and there was a divine shadow behind him, which was a god and demon of the underworld, with a yin aura all over his body, his face was hideous, but he looked solemn, and he was an image of Yama. Yan Ping's facial features were twisted together, fangs hung from his mouth, his skin bloomed with a pale cyan luster, his clothes were torn, and there were bone spurs piercing out of his chest, back, and legs. This is Yan Ping's magical power, and it is also his full display. Opposite Yan Ping, it was the toe of the skeleton of the ancient god, worthy of the ancient god, let alone the bone, the toe alone was comparable to half the size of a human body.
The toe of the ancient god cracked a hole, and there was obviously a black thing hidden in the hole, Su Yi looked at it, it was a shriveled body of unknown race, it seemed to be a zerg, but only half of the body was exposed, and it was not clear to see the whole picture.
Su Yi and Yu Yu stood together, accidentally took one more step, and in the next second, the originally silent palace suddenly set off a stormy wave.
Roar!
All this was like a boulder suddenly thrown into the calm lake, and Yan Ping was the first to make a move, and the Yama Divine Shadow behind him opened his mouth and roared, hoarse, and entered his ears, as if there were thousands of grievances, ghosts, and evil spirits. Then Su Yi saw that Yan Ping fell out, spitting out a mouthful of blood arrows from his mouth, and then his strong body instantly dried up, as if it had been swallowed by something, and the shadow behind it was also illusory and dissipated at this moment. And the original vitality has also disappeared.
Su Yi and Yu Yu, who were standing in the distance and watching the battle, were not spared, and the residual energy that spread out from Yan Ping's "battlefield" had a biting cold wind and a scorching air current, accompanied by the power of destruction, rushing towards their faces. Without waiting for Su Yi to make a move, Yu Yu took the Five Emperor Sword in his hand, and the cultivation was urged, and he inserted it in front of him, and suddenly a cyan protective shield was propped up, blocking these remaining waves. But the protection supported by a half-step true god powerhouse like Yu Yu was actually being eaten away by Yu Lang. In between, Su Yi suddenly saw that from the place where Yan Ping fell into the black-purple airflow, a huge insect shadow slowly rose. The insect was terrifying, with eight legs, a face full of teeth, two tentacles on the top of its head, and four pairs of transparent wings behind it vibrating, what made people shudder was that this insect faced Su Yi and happened to see faces on the insect's chest, and one of them was Yan Ping's distorted face.
Su Yi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought of the half of the body that came out of the toe of the remains of the ancient god just now, thinking that it should be hidden in the bones of the ancient god's feet, and then he was shocked by Yan Ping, and the old body faded, and the new body needed fresh blood food, and Yan Ping was the prey sent to the door!
When Su Yi and Yu Yu entered, it should have been when the insect was eating, Su Yi's casual action entered its sensing area, alarmed it, disturbed it, and its anger set off this storm.
As Su Yi guessed, the insect had already begun to notice Su Yi and Yu Yu, it was like a lantern, hanging under its tentacles, and its eyes hidden in the fangs exuded a terrifying glow, looking in the direction of Su Yi and Yu Yu. Su Yi and Yu Yu's faces changed, and they turned around and ran away in a very synchronous manner.
Laugh at!
Airplanes!
The speed of the insect was extremely fast, it opened its mouth and screamed angrily, its voice was piercing, and the four pairs of wings behind it flapped extremely fast, it was almost illusory, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the front of the suspension bridge, blocking the way of Su Yi and Yu Yu.
It was suspended in mid-air, half of its body was shrouded in black-purple airflow, and with its terrifying appearance, it was even more hideous and terrifying, and it was alive and clear from the image of a fierce god and a ghost.
Su Yi hurriedly stopped his steps, although Yu Yu behind him was bulky, but his speed was extremely fast, and the Five Emperor Sword was originally heavy, but in his hand, it was light and flexible, and a cold light swept through the air, slashing at the insects head-on.
While!
This terrible insect is not only fast, but even its body is hard, the moment the Five Emperors Sword cut it down, it directly went to pick it up empty-handed, but it was not cut off by the Five Emperors Sword. Yu Yu's face sank, his arms tightened, his muscles bulged instantly, his muscles suddenly rose, his muscles were knotted, like steel, he swung the Five Emperors Sword, turned around, and slashed out more vigorously.
Poof!
Eventually, one of the insect's outstretched arms was severed, provoking its wrath, and the fangs on its face opened to reveal a large abyss-like jaw. The smell in the mouth was stinking, and there was a bloody and disgusting smell coming to the face. Yu Yu hurriedly hid his face and retreated, because the vigilance of the battle told him that the breath from the mouth of the insect was probably still strong poisonous gas. But the insect was cut by it, full of anger, and unwilling to let Yu Yu go.
Buzzing!
Its four pairs of wings flapped again, and in an instant it came face to face with Yu Yu, so fast that even Yu Yu didn't react. Its tentacles and soles seemed to be sharp blades, and they stabbed directly at Yu Yu.
Su Yi, who had been standing in the rear watching the battle, saw that Yu Yu was restrained, and when he was about to make a move, he jumped up and grabbed Yu Yu's ankle, pulled it down, and then took out the purple bamboo long stick with his backhand, shook it in the wind, and the true qi poured in, and the Optimus Pillar roared, with bursts of thunder and lightning, and used his magic power to punish the magic stick, and smashed it at the insects.
Bang!
Optimus Pillar pulls out and smashes the bug back into the black-purple mist. He didn't stop, but pinched the seal with one hand, and the amazing power also exploded in an instant, blasting into the black and purple mist along the Optimus Pillar.
The fog dispersed and slowly rose. Su Yi and Yu Yu took a deep breath and were about to escape along the suspension bridge. However, the strength of the insect was beyond Su Yi's imagination, and in the face of the attack of the god stick and the shocking gods, there was no injury at all, and it flew out of the fog again, but it was no longer on guard. Instead, he rushed straight towards Su Yi, and when he opened his mouth, it was a ball of sticky saliva-like water, flying towards Su Yi. After returning to his senses, Yu Yu, as a loyal guard, would not let Su Yi be in danger, his chest bulged, and he opened his mouth to roar. The sound is like a tidal wave, visible to the naked eye, and it bounces the slime away.
But the worm's stomach seemed to have no idea how much it was hiding, and it first took a gentle bite and saw that its saliva was blocked, and then the mucus spurted out like a torrential rain.
In this case, standing in place and waiting for death is to find death, Yu Yu picked up Su Yi, walked the opposite way, turned his face and rushed into the face-cut palace, and rushed towards the skeleton of the ancient god.
Sure enough, in the face of the bones of the ancient gods, the insects stopped attacking, and they didn't know whether they were afraid or unbearable, so they stopped the slime attack, and even just stood not far from the bones, and went without chasing and killing them.
Su Yi and Yu Yu stood on the soles of the bones, looking at the place where the slime was stained with palpitations, but everything that was contaminated was corroded in an instant. If this is me, I am afraid that there will be no bones left.
Su Yi looked at this bug, thinking about the racial knowledge he knew, but he didn't find a zerg with the same appearance. Since the Divine Dynasty, in fact, the existence of the Zerg is nothing more than the "plaything" of the cultivators of the Insect Dao, they have no dignity, no status, and they don't even have the territory where they live.
During the period of the ancient gods, there were not many records about the Zerg, and it seems that the appearance of the first Zerg was created by the acquired spirits. It's just that there are different opinions, and these statements are only rough guesses, and they are not accurate or definitive statements.
Judging from some traces of Fang Cai, this insect is hidden in the bones of this ancient god, or it may be a Gu worm raised by the ancient god during his lifetime, and the flesh and blood are eaten away after death, and the Gu worm can only absorb the energy of the ancient god's bones in order to survive.
Standing in front of the remains of the ancient gods, I know how great and powerful the ancient gods are, even the ancient gods who died recently, there are 80,000 years ago, 80,000 years can change and say more, how many changes can occur, no one knows. But even though the flesh and blood of the old god were gone, his bones were still as smooth as jade and as kind as gold. You can even clearly see how amazing and beautiful these natural and heaven-made patterns are. It's really fascinating.
Tao is a mysterious and complex thing, but it is also a very tempting and desirable thing. Countless people flock to it, it makes people obsessed, and makes people want to see what it is really like and what it will look like!
And the Tao cultivated by the innate souls, whether it is the Shinto of the Emperor Era or the new Shinto opened up by the Taigong, is derived from the ancient gods. And the ancient gods are the products of the Heavenly Dao, and their every move, every hair on their body, and every drop of sweat are the embodiment of the Dao. Therefore, it is not so much that the acquired souls spend their lives for the sake of the Heavenly Dao, but that the acquired souls strive to understand the ancient gods thoroughly. For the acquired souls, the ancient gods are the rulers of a dark period, oppressive, cruel, ruthless, and slaughtering, and all their positive images are completely buried in the dark reign.
But the paradox is that the acquired beings hate the old gods, but they want to become the old gods. So when this tomb of the ancient gods was released, it caused the madness of countless gods.
As a creature born in the New Shinto, Su Yi is a rising star, and he doesn't know much about many ancient secret things, although he is forced to get involved in many ancient disputes, but he has no good feelings or dislikes for the attitude of the old gods. He used to be a teenager who embarked on the path of cultivation for revenge, but now he is a cultivator who wants to become stronger and achieve his goals. Perhaps because of the influence of Si Mo, a master who has no ideological imprisonment, he also maintains his own unique thoughts about the opposition between gods and demons, good and evil.
For example, when he was in the Metaverse, the dispute between gods and demons was so obvious, but he and Si Mo were two mavericks, and there were gods and demons in the exercises, and even the people who came into contact with them and the Taoist friends they met were both good and evil.
After all, in this world of the jungle, is there a certain standard for right and wrong? A wicked person who has done all the bad things in his life, but is praised by all parties for doing good once, is he a good person? A good person saves the world and saves the people, but because of a moment of confusion or because of some specific reasons, he falls into the evil way, then he can directly close the coffin and conclude that he is a heinous villain?
The world is disturbed, the human heart is complicated, every living being should have its own view of good and evil, if you have been affected by other people's thoughts and have no own considerations, then what is the difference with the walking dead?
Su Yi is a god with the ancient gods, and his understanding of the ancient gods, even if he is a half-step true god realm next to him, I am afraid that he is not as good as it. He suppressed the joy in his heart, and seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his trip, he first glanced at the insects that circled around the remains of the ancient gods, but never dared to rush in, and his heart was slightly calm, and then he sat down directly, stepped out of his mind, and immersed himself in the dao patterns left on the bones of the ancient gods.
