"Wow, are you going to transform into the sun?" Little Sword exclaimed.
"I want to become light!" Sushang said.
"..." Little Sword was speechless.
The group continued their journey, and half an hour later, they arrived deep in the desert.
After entering the Evil Moon Desert, the routes on the map became less detailed, so Xie Feng put away the parchment and prepared to rely on luck to find his way out.
"Does this place feel... familiar?"
The further Xie Feng walked, the more peculiar his feeling became.
That feeling...
It made him feel incredibly close to it!
Sushang shook his head. "I'm not familiar with this place!"
Yue Heng said, "My weapons were forced to be left here, yet I've never been to this desert before!"
Gu Yuan said, "Could it be... that this desert has some connection with you, Brother Xie?"
"A very special feeling..."
As Xie Feng spoke, he took two steps forward. At that moment, a lot of white gas emanated from his body, and his transcendent aura swept across the desert!
The Chaos Power!
The gases surged wildly, crisscrossing and converging together!
Xie Feng was startled!
Just now, his Chaos Physique seemed to be summoned by some kind of force, and uncontrollably channeled its power outwards!
This vast desert is definitely related to his physique!
At this moment, he thought of Gray Snake Little Nine; things couldn't possibly be that simple...
A gray serpent from outer space offered him a treasure Emperor Corpse Tomb, and upon arriving at the location of the treasure, it also triggered his Chaos Physique!
" Little Nine's identity... it can't be that simple..." Xie Feng's pupils darkened slightly as he fell into thought.
At the same time.
The Chaos Power condensed into a huge white vortex, and at the very center of the vortex was an endless black passage!
Yue Heng said, "There is actually another space within the Slanting Moon Desert!"
Gu Yuan said, "Could it be the Emperor Corpse Tomb?"
Xie Feng looked up and said, " The Emperor Corpse Tomb recorded in the parchment... perhaps this is the entrance!"
Sushang asked, "Shall we go in?"
Xie Feng nodded. "Go in!"
Gu Yuan cautiously asked, "What if it's not the Emperor Corpse Tomb?"
Xie Feng's gaze was firm. "There's a saying that goes, 'Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!'"
Gu Yuan and the other two. "Huh?"
They are from another world; they don't understand bicycles and motorcycles!
Xie Feng coughed lightly. "Cough, it's nothing."
From within his Dantian, Little Sword said, "Junior brother is talking nonsense again, please forgive him."
Sushang exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, you've changed too! Why are you being so polite?!"
Kong Qiusu said quietly, "It's imitating me!"
Little Sword chuckled, "So this is what it feels like to be a cultured person! So refined, look, you're all starting to respect me!"
Everyone's lips twitched.
This must be its illusion!
The four entered the vortex passage one by one, and their figures vanished instantly, leaving only a slowly rotating white vortex in the vast desert...
The group reappeared in a vast desert, seemingly the Slanting Moon Desert of another parallel world!
The sky here is a riot of colors, and the clouds are also multicolored, all intertwining to create a strange yet magnificent landscape.
A huge sculpture stands in the desert.
The sculpture, made entirely of sand, is about 100 feet tall and is sculpted in the shape of a nine-headed serpent. However, it is missing six of its nine majestic heads, and some parts of the serpent's body are mottled and incomplete. When the wind blows, it makes a buzzing sound of sand, like the mournful wail of a ghost.
Sushang looked up and exclaimed, "This is... a hydra?"
Yue Heng said, "In the Origin Realm, historical records state that in ancient times, there was a nine-headed serpent in the sea, named Medusa!"
"No! I've read a detailed article about Medusa in ' Strange Records of Origin Realm Monsters,' and this isn't Medusa! Although it's just a sculpture, this hydra is far more imposing Dao of Hegemony, and it even has horns on its head!"
Xie Feng shook his head, firmly denying it.
He approached the sand statue, his gaze deep as he carefully observed it.
At the bottom of the hydra sand statue, where Xie Feng could see at eye level, there was a square protrusion with a handprint on it!
Xie Feng didn't think much of it and instinctively reached out his hand.
The two are a perfect match!
boom!
The handprint suddenly shattered, and with a deafening sound, the hundred-foot-tall nine-headed serpent statue seemed to have been cleaved vertically in two!
What's revealed inside is yet another passageway!
It was pitch black!
It seemed to lead to endless darkness.
"Since we're already here, let's give it a try!" Xie Feng made up his mind, stepped out with his right foot, and was the first to enter the passage.
Buzz...
His figure disappeared into the darkness.
"Elder brother!"
Sushang was a little worried, so she ran over first and chased after Xie Feng without hesitation!
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan and Yue Heng stepped inside.
The passage started out parallel, but as you walked, it gradually descended vertically, and a chilling, eerie feeling filled the air.
"Ugh! What is this thing? It's sticky and wet... slippery... it's disgusting!"
Gu Yuan suddenly cried out, stretching out his hand. His palm was covered in a sticky mixture of black and white, and emitted a nauseating, rotten smell.
Xie Feng touched the cave wall and said calmly, "It's moss!"
Gu Yuan asked, "Moss? Aren't they all green? Why is this black? Is it poisonous?"
As he spoke, he sniffed his hands.
I almost threw up.
It stinks!
Gu Yuan immediately threw them to the ground in disgust.
Xie Feng calmly surveyed his surroundings, his eyes flashing a few times, and explained, "We should be three thousand meters underground. The spiritual energy here is thin, and the Origin Power is lost, so only dark energy thrives. These mosses are black because they can't stand the light! I've checked them; they're non-toxic!"
Gu Yuan nodded. "That's good!"
Yue Heng gazed ahead and said, "We are approaching a very powerful magnetic field! We are too far away to know whether it is benevolent or malevolent, so everyone must proceed with caution!"
They continued down, and by then it was pitch black. However, everyone's cultivation level was very high, so even in the darkness, they could walk on flat ground as if on solid ground, and their vision was not obstructed in the slightest.
A soft light shone in from the entrance of the passage.
The four of them followed the light!
Before them lay an incredibly vast underground city!
The roads crisscross, creating a veritable maze!
Before them appeared two large doors, both brass in color, with uneven, mottled surfaces that showed the marks of time.
Xie Feng suggested, "This maze is huge, and it may harbor many unknown risks. We can't afford to waste too much time here. Let's split into two groups and enter at the same time through the two doors!"
Gu Yuan nodded. "That's fine too, maybe we'll encounter more fortuitous opportunity! How about this, I'll team up with Xiao Shang, and you team up with Yue Heng, brother Xie, in case we can find her weapon!"
Xie Feng nodded. "That's true! Do you have any better suggestions?"
Sushang shook his head. "I have no objection!"
Yue Heng said, "That's settled then, let's get started!"
She and Xie Feng were the first to push open one door, followed closely by Sushang and Gu Yuan, who pushed open the other door.
