In the void, beneath the River of Oblivion.
Invisible torrents washed against each other. These were the mental distractions of billions of people, and their danger was no less than that of the Forgotten River in its heyday.
There are too many people in this world. According to the world population statistics from a while ago, the world's population has reached 7 billion. It is more than 10 times the number of people in the cultivation world. The most prosperous dynasty in the mortal world did not exceed 100 million people. The total population of the entire human race is probably less than 500 million.
An average of 170,000 people die in the world every day, and about 60 million people die every year. The number of deaths in one year is equivalent to the population of an entire mortal dynasty.
Nowadays, no one can survive in the depths of the Forgotten River, but there are always some accidents, such as the floating fragments of the Demon Abyss. Because it is buried under the Forgotten River, the Demon Abyss has a unique resistance to the Forgotten River and will not be eroded.
One of the fragments looks like an island, at least as big as a municipality.
The ground and sky inside were all red, and from time to time there would be visible yin energy eruptions, the air was filled with deadly poisonous miasma, and demonic monsters were everywhere. Compared with other small fragments, it can be seen that this place is more complete and has things that ordinary secret realms do not have.
It's less like a fragment and more like a world.
This is considered part of the core of the abyss, and is also where the ancient demon sleeps.
Located in the very center of this secret realm, a sticky scarlet liquid spiraled upward, with countless wronged souls wailing in it.
There is an ancient demon sleeping in each of the four directions.
A flesh mountain hundreds of meters tall, its surface covered with craters-like sores, and endless poisonous gas gushing out of it.
A white jade skeleton, ten feet tall, with no flesh on her face but revealing a strange beauty. She sat on the sea of bones, with countless arms intertwined into a throne, supporting her jade skeleton.
One is just a black, bare mountain with nothing on it.
The remaining side was empty.
"The Heavenly Corpse is dead?"
Madam Baiyu's voice is ethereal. If this voice were transmitted into reality, the power contained in it could cause people within a radius of dozens of miles to lose their souls and spirits.
Boom!
The earth shook, and the huge mountain of flesh turned over, grabbing a large amount of venom, which was sprinkled on the ground, and patches of poisonous fog appeared.
"How did he die? With his strength, is there anyone who can kill him? The Sky Corpse is flawless, even we may not be able to kill him."
The four of them each have their own strengths, but when it comes to a life-and-death fight, the Heavenly Corpse is definitely number one. His body is so strong that he is almost invulnerable to all attacks, even stronger than the Golden Body of the Buddha.
The strong men of physical training are often much better than others in life-and-death battles. First, they have strong vitality and it is almost impossible to kill them with one blow. Second, the consumption of the flesh is definitely much lower than that of Taoism, which gives them a great advantage in a protracted battle.
"I don't know. I can't sense the outside world and I can't leave here." Madam Baiyu shook her head slightly.
Because they were too deeply connected to the Demonic Abyss, they were stuck here. Their souls, blood, and flesh merged with the Demonic Abyss, so they could quickly recover their strength. This also trapped them here, and to escape, they would need to have at least the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation.
Tianshi had the least connection with the Demonic Abyss among them, so he was able to escape before them.
I originally thought that with his current strength, he would not be invincible in the outside world, but at least he would be top-notch. But I didn't expect that he died not long after he went out.
"Perhaps a great ancient god has been resurrected, and the Sky Corpse was unlucky enough to run into him. It will probably be very difficult for us to get out in the future, so we should lie dormant for a while."
"When the world was first created, everything was slow, step by step." The meat mountain punched the ground, and the ground shook. "If we miss it, I'm afraid we will never be able to recover in this lifetime."
The resources in the Demon Abyss are enough for them to practice, especially the Forgotten River in this life is so huge that they can absorb some strength from it, so their practice is generally sufficient. But it is just resources, which cannot compare to the various opportunities in the new world outside.
Just being in that kind of environment is extremely beneficial to spiritual practice.
"wait"
Suddenly, a voice that could not be distinguished between male and female came from all directions.
“Du Zang, we are not short of time, and the recovery of the world is not as fast as you think. It is even more impossible for those beings from the ancient times to unite. We are truly the Great Dao, not just a temporary prestige.”
The meat mountain named Poison Burial lay down with a rumble, turned sideways and looked at the Black Mountain ten thousand meters away, and said: "Now that the Sky Corpse is dead, we are short of one person. Otherwise, even if we rebuild the Demon Abyss in the future, it will be incomplete."
"There will be another celestial corpse. As long as the Demon Abyss is not destroyed, we will live forever."
In the spiral column of blood, a human figure is being conceived.
Du Zang glanced at the figure and asked, "Is that still the Heavenly Corpse?"
No one answered this question, and no one could answer him. Before they jointly established the Demon Abyss, they had discussed this question countless times. Is the self that was re-condensed with memories and fragmented perceptions still the original self?
The Demonic Abyss returned to peace once again.
——
At Hanshuipo, Li Yi and Dong Yunshu landed at the foot of the mountain, then walked up along the mountain road. Soon they saw the only house with lights on halfway up the mountain.
Two red lanterns were hung at the gate of the yard, and a table of dishes was placed inside. There were pork with sauerkraut, steamed pork with rice flour, poached chicken, stewed pork ribs with lotus root, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried bitter melon with meat, pork dumplings, etc., about seven or eight kinds of dishes filled the entire table. The dishes were varied and rich, with all kinds of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the New Year's Eve dinner. The reason why the Li family celebrated so lavishly this year is mainly because this is the first year after Li Yi woke up, which is of great significance to Li's father and mother. Not to mention that the family situation is much better now, and there is some extra money, so naturally it has to be a little more lavish.
