Chapter 480 Fireflies on the Sea, Underground Civilization
On the sea surface below, a river of flames, over ten feet wide and stretching for dozens of miles, appeared. It was emanating from a crack in the seabed. The flames were extremely bright, scattering into the sky, forming a brilliant mist of light.
The energy of heaven and earth became active, and the sea water began to boil.
"Is this the firefly flame that appeared in the East China Sea?"
Li Weiyi thought of the letter from the elder of Qingzhou of Daojiao.
However, whether it was the location mentioned in the letter or the place where Du'e Temple, Daogong, and the demon tribe were exploring, they were all more than 20,000 miles away.
How come there are fireflies here?
"Something's wrong."
Wu Hongling's graceful figure paused at the edge of the long river of fireflies, muttering to herself, "The ancient immortal dragon skeleton is clearly in an extremely distant sea, so why is the same strange phenomenon occurring here?"
Qiongji Daozi arrived a step later and said, "Liu Fengshu is far stronger than we thought. Fairy Hong Ling, should we continue to pursue him? Or should we go back and report first?"
"not good……"
Wu Hongling turned into a stream of red light, rushing straight into the sky and away from the sea.
“Boom!”
The entire sea area covered with firefly flames collapsed, and an abyss dozens of miles long appeared.
The sea poured into the abyss.
Li Weiyi's reaction was faster than Wu Hongling's, but he was still pulled by a powerful gust of wind, and his body fell uncontrollably to the bottom of the sea. He mobilized his magical energy and activated the governor's robes.
"The space force... has lost its effect?"
Li Weiyi's mind was heavy and he held his breath, his body buried and engulfed by the sea water.
The sky disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.
While falling, he secretly calculated the distance he was falling, and at the same time he kept swinging his peach wood staff and emitting mental power, trying to break out of the falling sea water.
Time passes by every second.
Long and agonizing.
In the end, there was no way to calculate the depth of the fall, which was far more than 10,000 meters, or it was about to fall to the depths of the earth.
"Bang!"
Li Weiyi was hit hard on the back, but his body was strong and he was not injured.
Instead of being surprised, he was delighted. His telekinesis sensed the mud and rocks nearby, so he immediately thrust out his staff.
The peach wood staff pierced a foot deep into the mud and stone wall. Li Weiyi grabbed it with one hand, hung on it, and looked around intently. Suddenly, he was stunned.
This is obviously no longer the East China Sea. The surrounding space is vast and not filled with sea water.
There is air, a thick alien magical energy.
The stone wall beside me was hundreds of feet high and sloped straight down.
On the stone walls, there are stone railings, palace eaves, huge statues, and some places are engraved with ancient pictures and texts.
Hundreds of feet below is a wide river of golden lava.
The sea water cascading down overhead was like a waterfall dozens of miles wide, falling on the black field beside the lava river, turning into a big river and flowing to an unknown place.
The space in the distance was so vast that Li Weiyi could not see the end. In the distance, majestic mountains could be seen rising.
"What on earth is this place? Under the East China Sea?"
"Why are there ancient traces of human activity deep underground?"
Li Weiyi was in a state of confusion. He looked up at the surging sea water above him, wondering how to return to the ground.
“Swish!”
The sound of swords rang out and came whistling.
Li Weiyi almost instinctively mobilized the magic energy in his body and slapped out with a palm.
The palm was wrapped in lightning, which hit the edge of the Tianji Sword and swept it away.
"Are you from the Lei Xiao Sect?"
Qiongji Daozi stood at the lower right side a hundred feet away, secretly shocked. After retracting the Tianqi Sword, he immediately used his body skills to walk on the stone wall and escape into the distance.
Li Weiyi's eyes darkened and he had murderous intentions.
He chased forward for a hundred feet and then stopped immediately.
Standing on the protruding eaves of the temple on the stone wall, he took a defensive posture, and the peach wood staff in his hand illuminated the underground with incomparable brightness.
Wu Hongling, who was lying in ambush in the crevice of the stone wall dozens of feet away, suddenly jumped out and landed on the top of the hundred-meter-high stone dragon head sculpture. Her red gauze fluttered on her body, her legs were long and slender, and her chest was as full as an inverted jade bowl. If you don't look at her face, she looked like a charming and enchanting flying fairy.
She smiled and said, "You are so alert. How did you detect the danger?"
"You can hide from my telepathic perception! But your remaining breath has not dissipated in the air." Li Weiyi said.
Seeing that Li Weiyi hadn't fallen for it, Qiongji Daozi immediately stopped, then soared through the air and appeared in another direction. Standing straight, sword proudly held, he and Wu Hongling formed a combined attack, one on the left and one on the right.
The sound of flowing water roars.
The three people's external manifestations of Taoism and their mental fields caused the air to stagnate.
Li Weiyi tried again, but the spatial power of the governor's robe was completely ineffective here.
He remained calm and composed, "Your energy is being depleted. Are you sure you want to continue fighting in this unknown place? Danger could come at any moment. Why don't you find a way to escape first?"
"We consume a lot, and you consume even more."
Qiongji Daozi's green robe was already dry. He held the sword in one hand, and dense sword-shaped sword energy appeared around him.
“Chi!”
A chill spread out from under his feet, freezing the stone wall.
Han Bing was blocked by Li Weiyi's telekinetic aura and could not get close.
Li Weiyi continued in a calm tone, "Even if my magical energy is exhausted, I still have a body with 80% of the strength of an immortal body, which will only increase my advantage."
Wu Hongling's voice was clear and pleasant: "Liu Fengshu, you are the most escapable and mentally stable young warrior I have ever met since I came to the East China Sea. You can lie as easily as you can. Do it!"
The two attacked from the left and right.
Li Weiyi's eyes suddenly darkened, he no longer hid his strength, and slapped the insect bag with his palm.
Seven phoenix-winged moth kings flew out, transformed into seven brilliant streams of light, and rushed towards Qiongji Daozi.
Wu Hongling's cultivation level is too high and her Taoist magic is strange, so Li Weiyi is not sure he can kill her.
However, he had sufficient understanding of Qiongji Daozi's cultivation and methods.
One person must be killed first, otherwise even the young emperor of the ninth heaven would have a headache if he had to fight two people alone.
The moment Qiongji Daozi saw the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings flying out, his mind exploded and he was briefly confused. He couldn't believe that Li Weiyi would hand over the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings to others for safekeeping.
The next moment, the hairs all over my body stood up and I felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
At this moment, he was rushing forward. It would be extremely difficult for him to stop, let alone retreat.
"The cold prison is coming."
In the ancestral field of Qiongji Daozi, magical energy continued to surge out, activating the magical weapons and armor on his body to perform the third level of magic.
Wisps of cold air gathered around him.
The third phoenix spitted out golden crow flames, the fourth phoenix's eyes flashed with lightning, and the fifth phoenix, the fastest of all, shattered the cold air first, giving Qiongji Daozi no chance to perform his magic.
The other four phoenixes followed closely behind, spreading their membranous wings or wielding their sharp claws.
Li Weiyi performed the Qingxu Chasing Cicada Step, flying over the four Phoenix-winged Moth Kings. Using his peach wood staff as a sword, he slashed out with the "Taiyi Kaihai" technique. Behind him, a red silk thread spread rapidly.
This is your only chance.
Qiongji Daozi slashed at Wufeng with his sword, but saw Wufeng, showing a speed that was not inferior to his, dodged and instead passed through the sword curtain, tearing at his neck with a claw.
The scriptures that flowed out of the magic weapon armor blocked the attack.
However, the fighting spirit in Qiongji Daozi's heart collapsed in an instant, and he no longer had any fighting spirit.
A phoenix-winged moth king is so terrifying.
Seven of them flew together, plus a willow phoenix tree.
Qiongji Daozi suddenly fell down, trying to escape from the battlefield at all costs.
"boom!"
The sword light from the peach wood staff slashed along the stone wall and landed on Qiongji Daozi's head, piercing through his protective magical energy. The brilliance of the scriptures emanating from his magical armor also dimmed.
The next moment, Qiongji Daozi was overwhelmed by seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings and fell into siege.
Wu Hongling cursed the Lingxiao Dao Sect for being useless. If someone lost their fighting spirit, they would only die faster. Why didn't they even understand this? If Qiongji Daozi could withstand the first wave of attacks, she would be there in an instant, and by then, it would be Liu Fengshu who would escape.
Now……
Qiongji Daozi's shrill and unwilling screams came from below: "Ah... Liu Fengshu is Li Weiyi, he is..."
Li Weiyi was sent flying dozens of feet by the red silk, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Below him, Qiongji Daozi's body was torn into eight pieces by seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings. It was a horrific sight.
What's even more cruel is that the first phoenix snatched away the Tianji Sword, the second phoenix dug out the Dao Fruit, and the fifth phoenix took away the Jie Bag.
"Now that it's exposed, there's nothing left to hide."
Li Weiyi drew his Purple Thunder Seal and struck the stone wall. Suddenly, dense purple lightning surged towards Wu Hongling. The seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings transformed into seven winding streaks of light, rapidly converging towards him.
Wu Hongling stood in place, all the lightning exploded several feet in front of her, unable to get close to her at all.
"How could her cultivation be so high?"
Li Weiyi was secretly shocked, and then he brought seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings with him, wandered around the stone wall, and attacked together.
Wu Hongling retreated gracefully, "This place is dangerous and very strange. We are both extremely weak now. Let's recover our energy first, and then we can compete with each other."
"It's too late! Why didn't you agree when I proposed this before?" Li Weiyi said.
Wu Hongling's speed is extremely fast and getting faster and faster.
Above their heads, the waterfall of sea water became noticeably smaller, and the cracks in the earth were closing.
"Oh no! The seabed rift is closing. If we don't rush out before it does, we'll be trapped underground forever."
Wu Hongling flew upwards.
“It’s alarmist.”
Li Weiyi would not miss the opportunity to get rid of her.
"I'm not lying to you! We fell at least ten thousand feet, and I sensed an abnormal spatial reaction during the journey. Don't chase us anymore, rush out first." Wu Hongling's tone was more urgent than ever before.
Li Weiyi believed it about 70%. There was indeed a problem with the space here, and the governor's official robe could not be activated.
Wu Hongling clearly had some knowledge of the ways of space; otherwise, her Hongling magical instrument wouldn't have been able to consistently track Li Weiyi's spatial teleportation. Therefore, it was possible for her to sense subtle changes in space.
Li Weiyi immediately brought seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings and followed Wu Hongling closely, going against the current and rushing straight upwards.
“Ouch!”
A deafening dragon roar came from the darkness below, and the space shook violently.
"Why is there a dragon roar?"
Li Weiyi and Wu Hongling's eardrums exploded, bleeding, their magical energy was in chaos, and they were hit by the water flow and fell downwards again.
