Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 70 In the Darkness

"Do we continue forward?"

Kong Wu asked, a sense of foreboding washing over him. This place was too strange, making one tremble uncontrollably.

"Now that we're here, how can we turn back?"

Fallen God Child said coldly, a premonition in his heart that supreme good fortune lay ahead.

"Let's gamble. If we fail, we can quickly retreat. But if we succeed, we might obtain one of the Ten Ferocious Treasures, perhaps even the True Dragon Treasure!"

Another person spoke, eyes burning with a feverish madness. They believed that this place hid the True Dragon Treasure because of the guardian dragon formation, unlike the Jiuyou Ao (Nine Nether Hound) ancient land they had initially expected.

It was precisely for this reason that they were willing to take the risk. That was the True Dragon Treasure, the foremost of the Ten Ferocious, surrounded by numerous myths, a legend in the ancient years.

"Alright!"

The others agreed, and Jiang Xuan naturally had no objections. He possessed the Gu Clan Treasure, so when it came to escaping, no one could keep up with him.

With everyone in agreement, they continued forward, the darkness gradually devouring them. In this darkness, even divine sense could not extend too far, as if some unknown force was isolating them.

The path ahead was pitch-black. They could only see a small area. Amidst the blur, they could hear a heartbeat, growing clearer, as if they were getting closer.

"Be careful, there might be danger."

Kong Wu excelled at deduction, vaguely discerning something and transmitting his voice to the others, warning them to be vigilant.

After advancing several more *li*, they all descended to the ground. An eerie power had appeared in the air, invading their minds, as if trying to drag them into a dark prison.

However, when they stepped on the ground, they couldn't help but be shocked. Before, in the darkness, they couldn't see too far, but now they could. This path was densely covered with skeletons!

Everywhere they looked, the ground was covered in them, long decayed. A light step would turn them to ash. Under the power of time, nothing could last forever. This scene couldn't help but make them feel cold. This place no longer seemed like a dragon vein. The lava had long disappeared, and only darkness and skeletons remained.

"Be extra careful!"

Even the Fallen God Child felt uneasy at this moment. This place was too eerie, burying too many corpses. They hadn't heard of any living beings falling into this place, yet it was full of skeletons.

"Could it be from the Immortal Ancient Era?"

Jun Dao speculated. This was indeed possible. The skeletons were buried deep underground, eroded by the long passage of time. A slight touch would turn them into dust, having experienced too many years.

"Possibly, but we still need to be careful. The power in the air just now came from an unknown source. It might appear again."

Kong Wu said. The power in the air just now had come inexplicably. They had no choice but to descend to the ground. It was as if they were being deliberately forced down, as if there was some deeper meaning, but for now, they couldn't explore it. They could only continue forward to understand it little by little.

Jiang Xuan also became highly vigilant. He didn't want to lose his life here. Moreover, he thought similarly to Kong Wu. The power just now had come too strangely, without any warning. If they weren't all powerful geniuses, they might have been hit instantly, their minds eroded by that power.

But this also forced them to descend, and this was the strangest part. Standing on the ground, they immediately couldn't feel that strange power. This was very strange, and they had to be vigilant.

"Strange, why do I feel like we've been here before?"

After an unknown amount of time, Jun Dao was the first to speak, a strange look in his eyes. His words were immediately agreed upon by the others, because everyone felt the same way.

Each of them possessed extraordinary divine senses and astonishing memories. Especially under such high vigilance, they wouldn't let go of any detail and remembered everything clearly. They had clearly been here before.

"Strange."

Even Jiang Xuan felt very strange in his heart, because they were clearly moving forward. Reaching their realm, they could sense any slight deviation, but according to their calculations, they weren't going around in circles. They were clearly moving forward.

"Could it be space-time stacking?"

Jiang Xuan thought, but immediately denied it. If it were space-time stacking, he should be able to sense space-time traces, but he hadn't felt this way before. It had never appeared.

"Where exactly are we now?"

Jiang Xuan wondered, feeling increasingly uneasy. The heartbeat was getting more and more muffled, resonating with their bodies, as if it was coming from within their own hearts.

"That's not right!"

But at this moment, Jiang Xuan was suddenly shocked. When did they start hearing that heartbeat?

At this thought, he instantly realized something. Just as he was about to act, he heard a voice from beside him.

"Illusion!"

The Fallen God Child also trembled at this moment, his eyes erupting with terrifying light, able to see the scene of gods and demons perishing.

In the next moment, the Fallen God Child's aura completely changed. His gray hair danced wildly, and his eyes were as deep as a black abyss. His entire being was slowly forming hand seals, and a majestic pressure emanated, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Around him, terrifying phenomena appeared. Countless gods and demons fell, plummeting from the firmament, with divine corpses everywhere and demonic remains filling the fields. Blood rain poured down.

In the void, grand prayers were heard, along with sacrificial sounds. Jiang Xuan and the others could all hear them, as if ancient gods and demons were wailing together, and all the heavens were about to collapse.

That was the Fallen God Seal, the supreme skill of the Fallen God Child's lineage. In the past, some had researched that this was a supreme divine power created by an Immortal Being, capable of killing all the gods and demons in the heavens, powerful and bizarre, able to evolve many mysterious traces.

At this moment, the sound of wailing prayers was transmitted from the Fallen God Seal, and the sound of gods and demons was vast, actually covering up the heartbeat.

At the same time, the scene before their eyes also changed. Not far in front of them was a collapsing void, emitting a terrifying aura that could tear everything apart.

"This is an illusion?!"

Zhan Yu also reacted. As a body cultivator, he was weak in terms of primordial spirit and was the most vulnerable. It was the same at this moment. If the Fallen God Child hadn't used this method, he would never have been able to escape.

"Offer up treasures to protect the primordial spirit!"

Jun Dao shouted loudly. Everyone didn't hesitate. To enter this place, they had prepared fully, with treasures for protecting the body and the spirit. At this moment, they didn't dare to pause at all, directly offering up secret treasures, dropping them into their sea of consciousness to protect their primordial spirits.

Under their feet, the skeletons remained unchanged, true and false, false and true. They had all been tricked, dragged into an illusion by a heartbeat. They were only one step away from dying.

"Fortunately, we woke up in time, otherwise, the trouble would have been great."

Jun Dao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. They were only a hundred steps away from that void rift. If they hadn't woken up, they would have died inside.

"Strange, why doesn't the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace react?"

Jiang Xuan was wondering. Beneath his primordial spirit, there was originally the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace floating. This was a supreme treasure, once refined by an Immortal Being. Even a replica had many good fortunes.

Logically speaking, Jiang Xuan now controlled some of its power. In times of crisis, the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace should have given some reaction, but at that moment, the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace didn't react at all.

"Could it be that the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace thinks this void rift is no threat to me?" Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought. Although he had cultivated the Gu Clan Treasure, he felt that if he fell into that void rift without any consciousness, it would be difficult to save his life.

Unless, the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace came out to protect him!
