The ape spirit passed through the passage and came to the thirty-third floor, which had never been successfully passed by the second generation of ghost venerables.

Originally, he had great illusions about this layer, including powerful enemies, unbearable heavenly punishment, or an extreme environment, but after he came to the thirty-third layer, all these illusions were completely shattered.

He looked at the thirty-third floor that appeared in front of him, rubbed his eyes, if it weren't for the entrance that said the thirty-fourth floor a hundred meters away, he would have doubted that he was coming to the thirty-third floor.

There are no powerful enemies on this thirty-third floor, there is no heavenly punishment, and there is no extreme environment, there is only a corridor about 100 meters long.

This corridor is very ordinary, and it does not pose any threat to the ape spirit, and even carefully checked it with demon consciousness a few times, but still found nothing, it seems that this thirty-third floor is such an ordinary corridor.

However, this level was able to stop the footsteps of a ghost venerable, and the ape spirit didn't think that this corridor would be as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.

But he looked at it for a long time and really couldn't see any clues, and finally shook his head and muttered, "It seems that I can only experience it myself." ”

Now that he had made up his mind, the ape spirit did not hesitate, raised his steps and immediately took a step forward.

After taking the first step, he didn't feel any danger, and waited a moment before taking the second step.

Up to the tenth step, he didn't feel any danger, and he himself had already walked nearly ten meters, and the entrance to the thirty-fourth floor had been shortened to thirty zhang.

Although there was no danger along the way, every time the ape spirit took a step, he would wait for a while to make sure that there was no danger before moving on to the next step.

This time, the ape spirit waited for a while as before, and then raised his foot and took the eleventh step, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed, and his body was rapidly aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, although he couldn't see his face, but he clearly felt that time was passing quickly in his body.

The ape spirit immediately took a step back, and the aging that had just appeared on his face quickly faded, and in a moment it returned to its original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

The ape spirit looked at his hands, his soul body dissipated a lot unconsciously, and when he looked back at the distance of three feet, his eyes were contemplative, and then he stepped back step by step, and finally returned to the place where he had first stood.

He had been staring at his hands, and as he had expected, the dissipated soul was slowly recovering, as if going back in time.

The ape spirit lowered his hands and looked up at the hallway, his gaze completely different.

He didn't know how the first generation of Ghost Venerable did it, but this short 100-meter corridor was like a time portal, the further he went, the faster time passed from his body, and taking a step back would make the lost time come back behind him.

He hadn't heard of this kind of time-manipulation spell, but it was the first time he had actually seen it.

He already understood what this layer had to do, and at the same time, he also knew where the second generation of Ghost Venerable had been defeated.

It can be said that it is the common enemy of all things in the world, and it is also the most cruel enemy, and that is time.

Although cultivators often talk about the endless years of cultivation, as if they have jumped out of the shackles of time, the passage of time cannot affect them at all.

There is even a saying that as long as you reach the birth of a primordial baby, the soul will not be destroyed, so even if the physical body is accidentally destroyed, you can still continue to live by taking away.

This notion is both right and wrong.

Condensing the Yuan Infant has indeed made their souls qualitatively changed, and it has also given them the ability to give up no matter who they are.

And the so-called seizure is to devour the soul of the other party, so as to replace the other party, and provide the other party's longevity for their own use, so as to transform the physical body by cultivating again, so that the growth rate of longevity exceeds the speed of consumption with the breakthrough of cultivation.

However, no matter how powerful and powerful the multi-sect is, it is impossible to escape from the shackles of time, once one day they encounter a bottleneck and cannot continue to increase the longevity, then no matter who they are, they will eventually die due to the exhaustion of longevity under the ruthless passage of time.

This was the case with the old demon back then, although he already had the strength of the big demon, but in the end he still couldn't escape death, the reason for this is because after 10,000 years, his longevity has been used up, so the so-called immortality after the yuan infant is pure nonsense.

And the reason why the ape spirit didn't feel anything after walking ten steps just now was because the soul power possessed by his soul body was enough to consume the passage of time within ten steps, although he didn't know how much time would pass with each step, but he understood that the time that the eleventh step began to pass from his body could already have an effect on himself.

Thinking of this, the ape spirit shook his head and smiled bitterly, just ten steps had already made him feel that his soul body had a feeling of decay, so after taking twenty steps, thirty steps, he didn't know how much soul power would be left at that time.

Moreover, the ape spirit felt that there was no energy here, so if he wanted to cultivate, he couldn't improve his soul power.

After pondering for a moment, the ape spirit raised his head and took ten steps at once, stopped at the eleventh step, and said secretly, "I'll see where I can continue to go now." ”

This time he didn't hesitate, he took the eleventh step, just like just now, his face changed rapidly, and the speed of soul power dissipation was greatly accelerated, but this point of soul power dissipation was quite acceptable to the ape spirit at this moment.

After he took the eleventh step, without the slightest pause, he took six steps directly, and each step forward would make the ape spirit's face look a little older, and at this moment, wrinkles appeared on his face, and the dissipation of his soul power reached a level that was visible to the naked eye.

This was not his limit, the ape spirit once again took ten steps in a row, and at this moment he was still nearly seventy meters away from the entrance to the thirty-fourth floor.

Today's ape spirit looks like he is in his fifties, his face has a lot of wrinkles, his hair has lost his luster, his originally bright eyes are a little cloudy, and his soul body has become a little blurry under the dissipation of a large amount of soul power.

"It's not there yet, it's not my limit right now. ”

As the ape spirit muttered to himself, he took another step, and when this step fell, his body trembled a few times, and the soul power on his body instantly dissipated by nearly a tenth, and the wrinkles on his face were even more.

The originally clear vision became blurred, and a feeling of decay permeated his body, and at this moment, he looked like the two old men, Tianya and Wu Tian, and even the aura he exuded was similar.

The ape spirit finally stopped, and instead of moving forward or back, he sat down there and closed his eyes.

"If you don't move forward here, time won't pass, and time will go back in time, which means that the first generation of Ghost Venerable compressed time, or accelerated the speed of time passing between these steps countless times.

And it was during this time that my soul power dissipated in the long river of time, but...... Soul power can dissipate from me, but it will never disappear. So where is the lost soul power?"

The ape spirit lowered his head in meditation, and there was still no trace of soul power in the space around his demon consciousness spreading.

After a moment, the ape spirit opened its eyes, but the usual simple thing seemed a little difficult at the moment.

Slowly rising from the ground, the ape spirit slowly turned around and stretched out his arms to the sides.

Immediately, his right hand became more blurred, while his left hand became more condensed.

The ape spirit didn't look at his right hand, but stared at his left hand intently, and closed his eyes again.

All his demonic sense poured into his left hand, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong soul power, but this feeling was only instantaneous, and soon that feeling disappeared.

The ape spirit's demon consciousness did not continue to advance, but slowly retreated, but for a moment, he felt his soul power again.

The ape spirit immediately locked the demon consciousness in that place, but in the next second, the soul power disappeared again.

Retracting the demon consciousness, the ape spirit poured the demon consciousness into his right hand, and like his left hand, although he could feel a strong fluctuation of soul power in an instant, this feeling only lasted for a second and then disappeared.

The ape spirit withdrew his hands, although it was only for a second, but it also confirmed that what he thought was not wrong, the dissipated soul power did not disappear completely, but was trapped in time, but in which space, he could not know.

The ape spirit did not continue to move forward, but walked back step by step, stretching out his arms with each step and feeling it carefully.

I don't know how long it took, when the ape spirit stood at the starting point again, his appearance returned to its original state, and his cloudy eyes became brighter.

Staring closely ahead, after this back and forth, he already understood that his soul power did not really disappear, in that long river of time, there was a second of time in the long river, and he could feel his soul power, in other words, his time was quickly lost in that time period, if he hadn't passed that time period, then his time might not have disappeared so quickly.

But he doesn't know how to avoid that time period, and he doesn't know where that time period is.

If this problem cannot be solved, then this thirty-third layer cannot be passed.

But he didn't even know how the first generation of Ghost Venerable did it, and it was even more difficult to crack it.

The ape spirit frowned slightly, and began to go back and forth in the passage, but the speed became very slow, and it often took several times more time to take a single step than the first time, and at the same time, the demon sense was all over the body, trying to capture that flash even the time period, but unfortunately it failed several times.

Time passed slowly in his constant attempts back and forth.
