Lu Chen's intuition told him that Demonic Fetus's pursuit was no accident, but more like some kind of invisible guidance.
The twisted flesh and blood channels around him were constantly pulsing, exuding suffocating vitality.
Every time Demonic Fetus cries, every time Soul Impact, it seems to push them in a certain preset direction.
"Follow me closely and don't resist its guidance." Lu Chen's voice was low and calm, carrying an unquestionable command.
Although Su Qingxue had lingering fears, witnessing Lu Chen's determination and strength in desperate situations made her completely let go of her inner hesitation.
She gritted her teeth, activated the remaining True Qi in her body to its maximum, and followed closely behind him.
Demonic Fetus's cries alternated between strong and weak. Whenever the sound got louder, Lu Chen's sea of consciousness shook violently, but he managed to hold on with the soul-soothing power of <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>.
He noticed that as long as he followed the direction guided by Demonic Fetus, Soul Impact would be slightly relieved;
Once you try to deviate, the crying will suddenly become violent, and the impact will increase exponentially.
"It... it seems to be alive!" Su Qingxue gasped and pointed to the pulsating blood vessel-like bulges on both sides of the channel, "These blood vessels seem to shrink and expand with its cry!"
Lu Chen did not respond, but he already had speculations in his mind.
This maze of flesh and blood is probably inside the body of some huge creature, and Demonic Fetus may be a part of this creature, or the new life it is giving birth to.
They walked through the maze of flesh and blood, speeding faster and faster.
Demonic Fetus's pursuit became the force that pushed them forward.
Lu Chen's soul power spreads out like a spider web, analyzing the surrounding flesh and blood structure and rune veins.
Those bloody runes are not decorations, but some kind of energy array, connecting the power of Demonic Fetus to a certain core deep in the maze.
Finally, after a soul-rending scream, the passage ahead suddenly opened up.
They broke out of the narrow flesh-and-blood passage and stepped into a majestic and ancient underground space.
This place is no longer a twisted labyrinth of flesh and blood. The dome is towering, and countless giant pillars support the entire space. The stone pillars are engraved with obscure runes, and the dim light flows. The air is filled with a solemn and decaying atmosphere.
And in the center of this space, stands an obsidian altar hundreds of feet high.
Countless ferocious demons are carved on the surface of the altar, each of them lifelike, as if they will break free at any time.
At the top of the altar, a huge blood-colored cocoon of light pulsed slowly, emitting a heart-stopping, eerie light.
Around the light cocoon, countless blood-colored runes circulate like swimming fish, forming a complex energy cycle.
"This is..." Su Qingxue murmured, his eyes full of shock.
Lu Chen's eyes were firmly fixed on the bloody cocoon of light.
He could clearly feel that it contained a powerful, ancient, yet silent wave of life.
This fluctuation resonates strongly with the blood mark on his residual image and the Demon Emperor residual soul that he absorbed before!
"Demon Emperor Egg!" Lu Chen was shocked.
The information swallowed up from the memory of Judge comes to mind.
The ultimate goal of the Rebirth Hall is to awaken Demon Emperor Egg who is sleeping under Hundred Demon Cave!
At this time, the cry of Demonic Fetus also reached its peak in this space.
It no longer pursued, but rushed towards the altar, hovering around the bloody cocoon of light, its cries filled with fanatical worship and attachment.
Lu Chen's speculation gradually became clear.
This Demonic Fetus is probably the guardian of Demon Emperor Egg, or some kind of companion.
Its "guidance" is not to attack, but to lead them to this Demon Emperor Egg!
At this moment, several black shadows quietly emerged from behind the stone pillars around the altar.
They were wearing Rebirth Hall's black robes and their faces were covered with bronze masks. There were five of them in total, and their strength was all above the late Meridian Opening level.
The leader is tall and has a breath as deep as an abyss. He is actually a strong man who is half a step into the Xiantian realm!
"This is Judge from Ghost Face Organization!" Su Qingxue exclaimed, recognizing the unique sense of oppression on that person.
However, Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
This Judge has a very different aura from the one he killed before.
In addition to the cold and dead silence, there is also a hint of fanaticism and an indescribable smell of decay.
"How dare you, a humble human being, break into the Holy Land!" The leader, Judge, spoke hoarsely, with majesty and murderous intent in his voice.
The four congregants behind him burst out with momentum at the same time, surrounding Lu Chen and Su Qingxue in the middle.
"Are you here to die?" Judge sneered, his eyes swept over Lu Chen, and a hint of surprise flashed, "Huh? You smell of our Rebirth Hall's blood? It seems that you have killed many of our people."
Seeing that he was seen through, Lu Chen's heart sank.
"But it doesn't matter." Judge said in a cold tone, "It is its honor to be able to sacrifice for the birth of the Holy Son. And you... came just in time. The Holy Son has arrived and needs fresh flesh and blood as a sacrifice!"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the blood-colored cocoon of light at the top of the altar, his eyes even more fervent. "The Holy Son is coming soon! Master Demon Emperor will reappear in the world under the guidance of the Holy Son!"
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
Demon Emperor... is coming!
He finally understood Rebirth Hall's true plan.
Not only do they want to seize the remaining soul of Demon Emperor, but they also want to awaken this Demon Emperor Egg so that the legendary Demon Emperor can truly come!
A catastrophe is about to begin in the depths of Myriad Souls Cave.
"Kill!" Judge said no more, his body swayed, turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Lu Chen!
Four believers attacked at the same time, each armed with strange weapons, and attacked from different directions.
Lu Chen's eyes were sharp and showed no intention of retreating.
He knew very well that retreating at this moment would lead to death. Only by fighting for his life could he have a chance of survival!
"Protect yourself!" He shouted to Su Qingxue. In response, Shadow Short Blade took out its sheath, turned into a cold light, and took the initiative to face Judge!
He will use his strongest defense to defeat the strongest enemy, and give Su Qingxue and himself a chance to break the situation!
Judge saw that Lu Chen dared to attack, and the corners of his mouth curved cruelly under the mask. "I don't know whether to live or die!"
His five fingers turned into claws, and the dark True Qi condensed into ferocious ghost claws in the palm of his hand. With the chilly air that ripped apart the soul, it clawed directly at Lu Chen's head!
Lu Chen does not dodge or dodge, Cultivation Method in the body is operating to the extreme!
"Black Tortoise Suppresses the World, invincible!"
The shadow of a black tortoise shell that was as solid as a substance appeared instantly, and it was forced to bear the fatal claw!
"Dang--!"
Loud noises echoed in the underground space, and an energy storm swept across the countryside.
At the same time, Su Qingxue also burst out with unprecedented courage.
She clenched her silver teeth, danced like a dragon with the soft sword in her hand, and launched a move "Secret Method·Binding Dragon Rope". The sword light was like a spiritual snake entwining towards the two black-robed cultists, sharing the pressure for Lu Chen.
However, just as the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a sudden change occurred!
The cry of Demonic Fetus hovering over the altar suddenly changed! It was no longer Soul Impact, but a cry full of joy, reverence and welcome!
"Buzz--!"
At the top of the altar, the blood-colored light cocoon shines brightly, turning the entire space into blood red!
The runes on the surface of the light cocoon rotate crazily, like a huge vortex, greedily devouring all the energy in the surrounding space, including the True Qi that escaped during the fight!
"No! It's about to hatch!" Judge's face changed drastically, and he could no longer care about Lu Chen. He retreated and knelt down in front of the altar with four other believers, shouting enthusiastically and piously, "Welcome to the coming of the Holy Son!"
The pressure on Lu Chen and Su Qingxue suddenly decreased. They looked at each other and saw shock and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Click... click..."
On the surface of the bloody light cocoon, cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
A supreme pressure that was a hundred times more terrifying than Demonic Fetus and as vast as the sea of stars slowly seeped out from the cracks.
Under this pressure, Lu Chen felt that his soul was trembling. It was an absolute crushing on the level of life!
"Boom--!!!"
Amidst the loud noise, the bloody light cocoon exploded!
In the blood-filled sky, a figure slowly emerged.
