As they continued forward, the space gradually opened up, revealing a vast underground space. The ground was covered with complex and eerie runes, and demonic energy surged within these runes, as if they were alive.
Nine enormous stone coffins were placed around it, their lids carved with hideous demonic patterns.
In the center of the space lay a massive pool of blood, its crimson liquid churning and emanating a chilling, malevolent aura. The air was thick with the pungent, nauseating stench of blood.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wariness. They cautiously moved forward, when suddenly they heard a low roar coming from the blood pool.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, serpentine creatures with long human faces rushed out of the blood pool. Their bodies were covered with black scales, their eyes gleamed red, and they spewed out a cloud of black smoke from their mouths.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye immediately scattered to avoid the monsters' attacks. The monsters roared and pounced on them, their gaping mouths emitting a foul stench.
However, before the monsters could pounce on them, pale hands emerged from the coffins all around. These pale hands seemed to carry endless eeriness and instantly seized the monsters' vital points.
The monsters roared angrily, trying to break free from the hand's grasp, but to no avail.
The claws reached into the snake-like monster's vital spot, and with a sudden tug, the monster's heart, surrounded by malevolent energy, was ripped out.
Then, its claws gripped the monster's heart, and it retreated back into the coffin.
Immediately afterwards, a series of chilling chewing sounds came from the coffin, as if the owners of those pale hands were greedily enjoying the heart of a monster.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye felt increasingly uneasy. They stared intently at the stone coffins, wondering what terrifying things might happen next.
A moment later, the nine stone coffins began to tremble slightly, as if the lids could be lifted at any moment.
Chu Wanwan gripped the Flowing Light Sword tightly and whispered to Si Mingye, "Be careful, these things are probably not simple."
Si Mingye nodded, the demonic sword in his hand emitting a dark light, ready to deal with any impending danger.
Suddenly, pale figures slowly sat up from the stone coffins, their bodies emanating an eerie aura, their empty eyes flashing with a ghostly blue light. These figures were even more sinister and terrifying than before, and the evil aura emanating from them caused the temperature in the entire underground space to drop significantly.
"What is this thing?" Chu Wanwan frowned, her heart filled with doubt and vigilance.
These pale figures exuded a chilling aura of evil, and were definitely not benevolent.
Si Mingye's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, this is a secret technique of the Demon Realm. It uses the essence and souls of ten thousand boys and girls to create a blood pool, and then seals a demonic beast inside. After forty-nine days of nurturing, the heart of the sealed demonic beast will become the most yin and evil thing in the world."
Feeding these demonic corpses with this extremely yin and evil substance will make them grow stronger rapidly. Look, these demonic corpses have already reached the initial god realm.
"If these demonic corpses are released, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Chu Wanwan bit her lip, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes: "It seems that the Demon Emperor is not capturing these children to increase his own strength, but to create a powerful army of demonic corpses. This is an evil creature created specifically for the Immortal Realm!"
"Hmm! Judging from the clothes these demonic corpses are dressed, they were not low-level before they died. They should be demon generals equivalent to the Chaos Realm experts in the Immortal Realm! This Demon Emperor is really ruthless! He actually turned his demon generals into demonic corpses!"
Si Mingye frowned.
"Indeed!" Chu Wanwan nodded in agreement...
The demonic corpses slowly rose to their feet and began to approach Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye. Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye immediately stood back to back, watching the approaching demonic corpses warily.
"It seems a fierce battle is inevitable." Chu Wanwan tightened her grip on the Flowing Light Sword, the blade shining even brighter, as if responding to her determination.
Si Mingye nodded slightly, the dark light on the demonic sword swirling, radiating a powerful aura. "No matter what, we cannot let these demonic corpses leave this place."
Although the demonic corpses moved slowly, each step carried a heavy sense of oppression. Their empty eyes were fixed on Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye, as if they were looking at prey.
When the demonic corpses approached within a certain distance, Chu Wanwan launched the first attack. She flashed forward like lightning, her Flowing Light Sword flashing with dazzling light.
The sword light struck the demonic corpse, producing a metallic clang, but only left a shallow mark on it.
Enraged by the attack, the demonic corpses let out low roars and accelerated their charge towards Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye.
Upon seeing this, Si Mingye immediately brandished his demonic sword and charged forward, engaging the demonic corpse in a fierce battle.
The sounds of the demonic sword clashing with the demonic corpse echoed through the underground space, each clash unleashing powerful energy fluctuations.
The cave trembled as they fought fiercely, and rocks rained down.
"Earthquake! Let us out!"
"Please, please, let us go! Waaah..."
"Are we going to get crushed to death?!"
"Waaaaah... Help!"
From deep within the cave came the cries of children.
"We can't fight them here. This cave is about to collapse. I'll stay here and hold off the demon corpses. You take the children and escape!"
While fending off the attacks of the demonic corpses, Si Mingye shouted loudly!
“Come with me. I have the Golden Bone Tower, a divine artifact. It should be able to withstand these demonic corpses.”
Chu Wanwan said, taking out the Golden Bone Pagoda, "Let's go!"
Chu Wanwan shouted and flew towards the depths of the cave, with Si Mingye following closely behind.
Upon seeing this, the demonic corpse was about to give chase when it was blocked by the golden bone tower that grew larger with the wind.
The Golden Bone Tower radiated a dazzling light, like an impregnable fortress, firmly keeping the demonic corpses at bay. Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye swiftly flew deeper into the cave, the terrified cries of children and the impatient shouts of demon soldiers echoing in their ears.
They quickly arrived at where the children were, and found them locked in an open space inside a cave, surrounded by hundreds of demon soldiers.
