Chapter 143 Bloodline Resonance, Dawn of Death
Holding a black-gold long sword, Xiao Yu rushed into the bottomless dark passage first with lightning speed!
"Your Majesty!"
The old owner of Ouye Manor, Taoist Qinghe, and the remaining dozen or so elite Xuanjia Guards followed closely behind.
Chu Xuanyi held Ajiu, who had fallen into a coma again, and stood at the entrance of the cave with a serious look in his eyes.
The battle below is no longer something that ordinary soldiers can participate in. He must stay here and protect Ajiu, while presiding over the observatory formation and providing final support to Xiao Yu and the others.
"Sir..." Ajiu in his arms seemed to feel the suffocating evil in his dream. His little brows were tightly furrowed and he uttered uneasy mutterings.
Chu Xuanyi looked down at her pale little face and the wound on her fingertips that had stopped bleeding but was still shocking. A complex and inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.
The passage is longer and more sinister than imagined.
What you step on is not solid ground, but a thick layer of broken bones that have been accumulated for who knows how many years. When you step on it, it makes a "crunching" sound, which is creepy.
The walls were slippery, and a foul-smelling black liquid constantly oozed out, like blood flowing from the earth. The air was filled with countless low, vicious whispers, as if thousands of resentful spirits were cursing and roaring in their ears, trying to corrode their minds.
"Concentrate and calm down! Don't be disturbed by external demons!" Taoist Qinghe shouted softly, and swept the whisk in his hand. A pure and holy Taoist energy spread out, temporarily dispelling those annoying demonic sounds.
The deeper they went, the clearer the terrifying pressure from the Heart of the Underworld became!
Finally, after rushing down for nearly a hundred feet, the end of the passage appeared before our eyes.
That's a door.
An extremely huge stone door, three meters high and about two meters wide, carved from a whole piece of unknown black stone!
The stone door had no knocker, no cracks, a single, seamless structure. Engraved upon its surface were countless twisted, eerie, blood-red runes that slowly wriggled like living creatures. Streams of netherworld energy, nearly tangible, emanated from these runes, forming a visible, shimmering black curtain of light that enveloped the entire stone door.
This is the last barrier leading to the heart of the underworld!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavy heartbeat sound came from behind this stone door. With each beat, the blood-colored runes on the door flickered, as if breathing with it.
"Hehehe... Xiao Yu, you're finally here." The elder's hoarse voice came through the stone gate, with a hint of cruel mockery, "Welcome to the tomb gate that I have carefully prepared for you."
"I want to see what tricks you, old dog, have up your sleeve!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped high up, and the black gold sword in his hand once again gathered the power of thunder and lightning, and chopped it down fiercely at the huge door!
"Tian Gang Po Xie Talisman! Quick!"
Almost at the same time, Taoist Qinghe also made his move. He threw out dozens of golden talismans covered with intricate incantations. Those talismans transformed into golden lightning in the air, following Xiao Yu's sword energy and blasting towards the stone gate!
“BOOM!!!!”
The sword energy and the talisman hit the huge door at the same time!
The entire underground space shook violently, and countless pieces of rubble fell from above.
However, a scene that made everyone's pupils shrink suddenly happened!
After enduring such a fierce attack, the huge stone door's black light curtain rippled like water waves, absorbing all the attack power!
The blood-colored runes on the door became even more bizarre and brighter!
The stone gate itself did not move at all, not even a trace was left!
“How could this be?!” Taoist Qinghe exclaimed in shock, “This…this barrier can actually absorb our attacks!”
"It's useless." The elder's malicious voice rang out again. "This 'Gate of the Netherworld's True Self' has completely synchronized with the Netherworld Heart! All your attacks are just... snacks to it! The more you attack, the faster the Netherworld Heart will awaken! Hahahaha!"
"I don't believe it!"
The old owner of Ouye Manor roared angrily, and the long sword in his hand made a clear sword sound. The whole person turned into a stream of light, and in an instant, he stabbed hundreds of swords on the stone gate!
Each sword pierced precisely onto the nodes of those blood-colored runes!
However, the result is the same.
The stone gate was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing up all the sword energy without causing any ripples.
The old owner of Ouye Manor was shocked and flew back, his blood boiling and he almost vomited blood on the spot.
“Damn it!”
Xiao Yu's phoenix eyes were filled with rage. He simply refused to believe this! He pushed his internal energy to its limit, preparing to unleash a more powerful forbidden move, regardless of the cost!
"Your Majesty!"
Chu Xuanyi had come behind them with Ajiu in his arms without anyone noticing!
"You can't attack anymore!" Chu Xuanyi's face was extremely solemn. "What the old thief said was true! This door is different from the 'pyloric deadlock' outside! It is more closely connected to the Heart of the Netherworld, almost fused into one! Any external attack will only be transformed and absorbed by it!"
Xiao Yu's chest heaved violently. He looked at the huge, motionless door and felt the increasingly strong heartbeat behind the door. For the first time, a deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.
Is it really... that I can only watch them complete the ceremony?
"Brother Xiong Xiong..."
Jiu had woken up without knowing when.
Her face was still pale, her lips were bloodless, but her golden eyes were fixed on the huge stone door without blinking.
"Ajiu!" Xiao Yu's heart suddenly tightened, "Why are you awake? Come on, don't move, get some rest!"
"No..." Ah Jiu shook her head. Her small hand tightly grasped Xiao Yu's clothes, and her other hand trembled as she pointed at the stone door. "That door...it's looking at me..."
"What?"
"It's looking at me... It doesn't like me, it wants to... eat me..."
"Brother Xiongxiong... let me pass..." Jiu looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "I want to... touch it."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yu refused without a second thought, "What is that thing? You still want to touch it? No! Absolutely not!"
What a joke! She just lost a drop of blood and almost fainted! Now asking her to directly touch that extremely evil stone door, isn't that just asking her to die?!
"Your Highness!" Chu Xuanyi's voice rang out from the side, "Perhaps... you can let her try."
"Xuan Yi!" Xiao Yu turned around suddenly, his eyes like knives, "Are you crazy too?!"
"I'm not crazy!" Chu Xuanyi stared intently at Ajiu's small hand. "Your Highness, look! The Nether Grass in Miss Ajiu's hand!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards Ajiu's palm.
On the back of her fair hand, the strange mark formed by the Nether Grass was emitting an unprecedented light!
It was as if it was not an evil weed from the underworld, but a fairy flower bathed in divine grace!
