Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Changes in the Abyss

 The vast sea of ​​sand.

The wind howled.

But he saw a surging and twisted power of heaven and earth, restraining and imprisoning a ninth-level demon, sealing it inside, turning it into a ball of black mist, making it difficult to move at all.

Step, step, step,

On the sand dunes in the distance, I saw Chen Mu, dressed in robes, coming through the air and standing with his hands behind his back.

He stared at the ninth-level demon who was bound by him with deep and indifferent eyes, and said in a light voice: "What have you done under this desert? What methods have you used? I know you can understand. my words.”

Buzz!

But when the ninth-level demon, whose muscles and bones were bound by the giant palm of heaven and earth, was slightly loosened by Chen Mu, it immediately began to glow with flickering lights. In an instant, thousands of shapes changed, and one of them flickered into Chen Yue's appearance, which was pitiful. She looked at Chen Mu with a sad expression, as if she didn't understand why Chen Mu treated her like this, and then she flashed into Xu Hongyu's appearance, her eyes dimmed, and she felt mournful and heartbroken.

"snort!"

“Don't overestimate your own capabilities.”

Chen Mu looked at this scene indifferently, his expression did not change at all, but he snorted coldly, and a majestic and majestic power of heart and soul suddenly vibrated, causing the demon cloud transformed by the heavenly demon to explode and almost collapse.

The power of his heart and soul is so powerful now. It has been tempered throughout his body into an immortal heart and soul. It has surpassed the cultivation of the body. He has crossed the threshold of the divine realm with half a foot. Let alone a ninth-level demon, even a tenth-level demon. The peerless demon who competes with him in terms of heart and soul means is like a mantis trying to use his arm as a chariot, and there is already a gap in realm between him and him.

Buzz!

The demon, who was almost annihilated by Chen Mu's cold snort, seemed to finally understand the difference between them. The black mist twisted and twisted, and no longer transformed into a shape. Instead, it revealed a dark and deep face, a bit chaotic and crazy. face.

"Ho ho...hehe...all have to die, you will all die...it's useless, it's useless..."

"You can't stop it...hahaha..."

The black fog-like face let out a burst of chaotic and crazy laughter.

Bang.

Chen Mu's face was expressionless, and he tightened his fingers. The twisted giant palm of heaven and earth suddenly closed inward, and he squeezed it tightly, crushing the demon into pieces in an instant, and turning it into wisps of black light.

After wiping out this demon, he lowered his gaze and focused his gaze on the vast sea of ​​sand below.

"I felt that there were some problems here in the early years. Now it seems that it is all caused by these ancient demons?"

Many years ago, when he entered Shajun for the first time and realized the changes in the world, he felt that the environment of Shajun was a little strange. But at that time, he was only slightly strange, and with his original strength, he was not enough to explore Shajun. .

Later, he also paid a little attention to the situation in Shajun. He learned from some classics of Qixuan Sect that Shajun was a special county in Yuzhou. It was special in that it was the only place in Diyuan in Shajun that could not be entered. of the abyss.

Among the seven counties of Yuzhou, when the Earth Abyss opened, the areas below the other six counties except Sha County were all areas of the Earth Abyss that could be explored, but only Sha County was inaccessible. According to classic records, Sha County was The power of the county's earth veins is extremely chaotic.

But now it seems.

There may be a reason for the chaos in Shajun's land line.

Now that Chen Mu has become an immortal soul and has stepped into the half-step divine realm, even though the power of the earth veins below Shajun is extremely chaotic, he can still see through the vast quicksand, layer by layer, to glimpse some of the conditions under the earth veins.

But seeing the abyss world thousands of feet below, filled with black mist and billowing demonic energy, it was a doomsday-like scene!

Although there is only a depth of more than a thousand feet from the ground to the abyss, this is a gap that no master of heaven or man can forcibly cross, because the earth's veins become more chaotic the further down they go, not to mention that the earth's veins in Sha County are much more chaotic than other regions. , even the 'Five Ultimate' level celestial masters are still unable to perceive the situation thousands of feet below. The only one who can stand on the sand dunes and glimpse the doomsday scene thousands of feet below is Chen Mu.

But looking at this scene, Chen Mu had no intention of retreating.

"You really made everything miserable."

His eyes were deep and his face was cold, and he took a step forward.

boom! !

But he saw the mighty sand dunes suddenly split in front of him, as if surrendering to his will, they dispersed to both sides. The stretches of yellow sand continued to pour down along the cracks, like two yellow sand waterfalls, one on each side. .

Chen Mu just stepped forward, going down step by step along the split sand sea. The power of the mixed and mottled earth veins stabilized piece by piece on the soles of his feet. The vast earth veins piled with yellow sand were measured one by one by his footsteps.

three hundred feet,

four hundred feet,

five hundred feet,

Chen Mu just stepped down through the mixed earth veins.

When they came to the six hundred feet deep underground, the mixture of earth veins here was enough to threaten the life of a being in the blood exchange realm. Even a master of heaven and man had to be careful when arriving here, but Chen Mu was still as calm as ever. Take a walk in the garden.

seven hundred feet,

eight hundred feet,

Nine hundred feet,

He continued to go deeper. When he stepped into the 900-foot-deep underground, the chaos of the power of the earth here was beyond description. The ordinary martial arts field would be completely ineffective here, even if it was a heavenly being in the third step of artistic conception. The method, and it is the cultivation of the Kundi lineage, it is difficult to control much of the power of the ground lineage here, and basically you have to use all your strength to barely suppress it.

But when Chen Mu came here, he still didn't feel the slightest oppression. Even though the power of heaven and earth was in chaos to the extreme, under the interaction of his thoughts, the heaven, earth and earth veins of the entire realm were still controlled by him.

His will replaced all the chaos here and became the only one here!

boom!

Chen Mu continued downward, and after walking for another three hundred feet, he finally lost his footing, stepped into an empty realm, and fell into a gap deep in the earth's veins below Shajun.

This is Shajun Diyuan!

Just falling in, wherever Chen Mu looked, there were patches of black mist.

The demonic energy that has long disappeared on the ground and is not easy to see even in other abyss is almost everywhere here. Everywhere you look is a terrifying scene, and even the heaven and earth in this area have happened. The changes seemed to no longer belong to the world of Daxuan, but were forcibly stripped away, isolated, and turned into another part.

Chen Mu's arrival made a huge noise. He did not step into the abyss through the normal turbulence of the earth's veins. Instead, he forcibly tore the abyss apart and stepped in. Looking at the entire history of the world, he was the only one who could forcibly break into this place thousands of feet below. Realm, just stepping into the Shajun Abyss has caused the entire abyss to shake, and the billowing demonic energy roars and sweeps across like ocean waves.

"Om!"

A dull roar sounded.

But in the boundless demonic aura, a monster as strong as a mountain appeared. It was a monster. Its own demonic aura was filled with mighty force. It had reached at least the ninth level. It was a celestial demon Lu Shu! Its body is like a horse, with white hair on its head, and stripes on its body like a tiger. Under the galloping, there is billowing demonic energy whistling and circling, as if demonic clouds are converging around its body, and it is obvious that it has been completely demonized.

The Heavenly Demon Lu Shu is originally a ferocious monster recorded in the Daxuan classics. When it is wrapped in demonic energy, the sense of oppression goes to a higher level. Even a master of Heaven and Man may not be able to defeat this beast in a one-on-one situation. A heavenly demon after his head is transformed into a demon!

However.

There was more than one Lu Shu appearing at this moment.

Accompanied by another dull roar, I saw a monster with a huge body, more than ten feet tall, trampling on the magic mist in the darkness in the north. Its body was like a turtle, its head was as red as a bird, and its tail was like a snake. The famous monster 'Spin Turtle' has also reached the level of a heavenly demon and has been completely demonized!

"hiss!"

There was another scream, and a big snake was seen snaking out of the black mist. This giant snake was huge and strong, with black monster patterns covering its body, and its scales were alternately green, red, and yellow.

Heavenly demon snake!

They are also eroded by demonic energy, and they are also completely demonized monsters!

And just as the Heavenly Demonic Snake was winding its way, there was another loud and long cry, and a demonic bird was seen riding on the magic cloud, crossing over. It was small in stature, with cyan wings, slender tail wings, and a body The same dark pattern spreads, and it is also a famous celestial demon - Luan bird!

at last.

It is an ape-like monster coming from the north. Its body is dark brown and does not appear to be corroded by demonic energy. However, its pair of demonic pupils are as black as ink. Looking at it makes it feel like... People have a strong feeling of palpitations, yet another celestial demon.

Chen Mu stepped into the abyss, and in just an instant, five demonized heavenly demons gathered together!

The five demonized heavenly demons are so terrifying. Each of them is almost as good as a master of heaven and man. With the five heads joining forces, combined with the environment of demonic energy in the abyss of the earth, and the mixed and heavy power of heaven and earth, I am afraid that the five will be eliminated. Any heavenly being outside of this place will definitely feel hatred on the spot. Even if the Five Absolutes are here and can get out, they will most likely be injured and will never be easy.

"It's just five celestial demons. It's quite a grand display."

Facing the gathering and surrounding of these five demonized heavenly demons, Chen Mu's eyes were not on them. Instead, he cast his gaze deeper into the abyss of Sha County, looking at something there. He seemed to see something, a pair of eyes. Also narrowed slightly.

roar!

Chen Mu didn't move here, but the five demonized heavenly demons over there were not quiet. After the demonic energy gathered together, they roared and neighed immediately, and launched a brazen attack on Chen Mu!

But seeing the whirling ghost flicking its tail, the luan bird roaring, the giant ape stretching its arms to grab the sun and the moon, and the deer and Shu raising its horn to hit the sky pillar, attacks condensed with surging demonic energy and demon power came from all directions, trying to kill Chen Mu. Submerge in it and tear it into pieces!

At this time, Chen Mu finally narrowed his gaze slightly, glanced at the five demonized heavenly demons, and raised his hand with an indifferent expression.

One punch.

Just one punch.

The attack of the five demonized sky demons was all turned into powder!

Not only the converging torrent of demon power, but also the void in the abyss was shattered and torn apart by Chen Mu's punch. It collapsed and shattered all the way forward, stretching for dozens of feet, and the cracks in the white void were even larger. It spreads hundreds of feet!

The terrifying power of this collapse directly enveloped the demonized Sky Demon Luan Bird, causing its body to shake, and was directly beaten into a **** foam, exploded into a piece of flying ash, and its feathers and bones were shattered. for dust.

"Om!"

The Sky Demon Lu Shu roared in confusion. It was not hit head-on by Chen Mu's punch, but it was slightly brushed. Nearly half of its body was directly destroyed and shattered, and the remaining half of its body was thrown dozens of feet away.

If it hadn't been completely demonized and its vitality could no longer be judged by ordinary creatures, this blow would be fatal enough that even the body of a heavenly demon would not be able to resist it. But even so, when the power of the demon surged, it The destroyed half of the body was repaired extremely slowly, and it was obvious that it had suffered immeasurable damage.

"hiss!"

The Heavenly Demon Ba Snake was also hit hard. Its condition was slightly better than that of Lu Shu. Only the end of its tail was wiped out by Chen Mu's fist. However, due to the pull of Chen Mu's fist, it was not as good as Lu Shu. It was generally swept away, but it stagnated briefly, and then the snake's body was bitten by the tearing and spreading crack in the void, and it suddenly let out a painful scream.

Obviously, even if it is a demonized sky demon, its demonized body still cannot withstand the force of the void spreading in the cracks in the void. Its tail is annihilated piece by piece at a speed visible to the naked eye, and is swept away by the power of the void. Inch-inch strangulation.

finally.

This demonized snake struggled to free itself, and a burst of black-red light exploded from the middle of its body, shattering its body into pieces. The second half instantly fell into the void and was destroyed. With this, the front half The body was thrown forward suddenly, and finally managed to escape the devouring and strangulation of the void crack.

Chen Mu looked at this scene and shook his head slightly in his heart.

Although these heavenly demons are still the entities of the heavenly demons, their hearts and souls have actually been eroded by the demonic energy, and they have turned into zombie-like existences similar to the corpse puppets of the heavenly corpse sect. They have lost their consciousness and are driven by the demons.

Although he doesn't have much sympathy for monsters, the demons treat monsters the same way as they do human warriors. If the devil is allowed to spread in the world, it will definitely lead to chaos in the world and the destruction of all living beings.

"Heaven and earth rotate!"

Chen Mu raised his arm again and waved in the air.

In an instant.

The void collapsed and shattered again.

At the same time, a boundless force of the Eight Phases of the Universe burst out, turning into a magnificent vortex, which suddenly enveloped the severely injured Ba Snake and Lu Shu. The other two demonized heavenly demons were also not spared.

"Hiss..."

The four heavenly demons all neighed and roared in confusion, but they still could not escape from the pull of Chen Mu's move. The demonic power collapsed with the move, and then they were directly swallowed by the collapsing void!

The four demonized celestial demons that fell into the shattered void were barely able to make a splash, and were completely torn and annihilated by the surging power of the void, turned into dust, and finally melted into nothingness.

Killed four demonized celestial demon queens with one move.

Chen Mu cast his gaze into the depths of Shajun's abyss, and without any pause, he stepped forward. The demonic energy in front of him was billowing in all directions, like a tide, seeming to want to drown and devour him.

But after he took a step down, the rolling demonic energy seemed to have been hit by some violent impact. The churning momentum stopped suddenly, and it just flipped backwards and surged. Chen Mu could only be seen taking a step forward, the mighty demonic energy... The anger dissipated.

Buzz!

At this time, Chen Mu did not look for a passage to the deeper abyss. After taking a few steps forward to drive away the demonic energy, he stretched out his hands and tore into the abyss below!

Accompanied by the sound of the void shattering like plastic paper, the deep abyss was torn apart by him, and a crack stretching hundreds of feet collapsed. The bottom of the crack was pitch black, leading to the deeper parts of the abyss!

Today he wanted to see what was at the bottom of this abyss!

Demonic energy is a power that does not belong to this world. Chen Mu has long known this.

It is precisely because the devil's energy does not belong to this world, so the way of integrating heaven and earth, which is the integration of heaven and man, cannot sense the situation behind it through the devil's energy. Even with his current heart and soul, he is still affected by the devil's energy. Interference, the range that can be detected is not very large.

But it doesn't matter to him, he can't see or feel it, just push it all the way!

boom!

Amid the agitation of demonic energy, Chen Mu took a step forward and entered a deeper abyss.
