The long and narrow rift belt has no end in sight, and in front of it, densely packed ancient corpses staggered from the depths.
Some of these ancient corpses were covered in carrion, and some had only a skeleton left.
There was a whimpering sound from their mouths, and the place they passed was so fierce that even the sky darkened because of them.
Gu Chen and the eight villains restrained their breath and walked cautiously along the edge of the cliff, lest they attract the attention of the ancient corpses.
They had been deep into the rift for five days, and the number and scale of the ancient corpses they had seen made their hearts even heavier.
This is already an army of ghosts, the number exceeds 50,000, and among them, there are many powerful men who were once famous in the Fairy Continent.
Yu Wenjue of the Qinglian Immortal Sect, Xiongwu of the Guiyuan Immortal Sect, Fairy Jiyuan of Guanghan Palace, Inhuman Taoist of the Tiandao Sect...
The Eight Great Evil Men recognized many powerful people who have left history, defeated all the arrogance of the same generation, and left a strong mark in history.
They all disappeared mysteriously in their later years, but now they are resurrected as ancient corpses, walking out of the sinkhole, as if they are about to sweep into the world of the living.
Gu Chen and others chose to avoid the most powerful people, lest they attract their attention.
They are getting deeper and deeper into the rift valley, and once they fight any ancient corpse, they may face a massive attack from the tide of corpses.
Gu Chen's purple eyes looked far away, and he always avoided the dangerous people in the ancient corpse first, and when he had to face something, everyone would take action together to quickly resolve the battle.
The eight villains are investigating to find out the scale of the corpse tide, while Gu Chen is searching, looking for the whereabouts of his father.
He inspected almost every corpse carefully, lest his father might appear among them.
Throughout the ages, countless monks have entered the Tiankeng in search of opportunities, but now they have all turned into ancient corpses and left for unknown reasons, and my father may be no exception.
"The vitality of the world is getting thinner and thinner, and our consumption is getting worse."
"The number of ancient corpses is also increasing, and we are almost unable to find a way to avoid them."
After more than ten days of marching towards the Tiankeng, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.
For more than ten days, I dare not relax for a moment. From time to time, I can see powerful ancient corpses exuding amazing auras, which is a huge test for people's spirit and body.
"How far is it from the Tiankeng's eye?" Gu Chen asked calmly.
"There is only one day's journey left, but because we have to avoid the corpses, it will actually take about five days. The biggest worry now is that the road ahead will be blocked. If that happens, we can only return."
Old Tan replied.
"If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."
After Gu Chen said a word, he continued to walk forward. The white ape crept around him, and was also cautious. Obviously, even the little guy didn't want to provoke those corpses.
"Hmph, does this kid think we will be afraid?" One of the villains said dissatisfied.
"If you complain less, others won't think so." Ruan Ji shook his head.
"What is the background of this kid? He is not weak at such a young age, and his temper is quite arrogant. He is definitely not an unknown person. Then Chen Gu is probably a pseudonym."
The eight villains were quietly discussing that they had been advancing with Gu Chen for more than ten days, and his strength had been unanimously recognized by them.
"The old man has already guessed his identity."
"I guessed it too."
Old Tan and several others smiled and said that they had seen Gu Chen make a move when they were in danger on the road, and they knew his details, and also understood why he was so persistent in finding the person from the Gu clan.
"Who the hell is he?" someone who didn't know asked curiously, while the others deliberately kept it secret and didn't say anything.
Two days later, after Gu Chen shot and killed a wave of ancient corpses, the bottleneck of cultivation in his body was easily broken through, from the peak of the middle phase of the Dharma to the late phase of the Dharma.
At this time, his face changed and he stayed where he was.
"What's wrong?"
The eight villains sensed the instability of his breath and asked in surprise.
There are all ancient corpses around here, such obvious breath fluctuations can easily attract corpses.
"I need a break."
Gu Chen replied with an ugly face, asking everyone to protect him, while he focused on his internal condition wholeheartedly.
These days, because of the pressure brought by the ancient corpse, he naturally made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and the nine-colored energy in his dantian surged instantly, making the conflict between it and the overlord of heaven more obvious.
This problem has always existed since Ba Gu was repaired, but it was not a big problem before, and he forcibly controlled it.
Now that he has broken through to the late stage of Faxiang, the problem has become more serious. Two different forces clashed in his body, which caused his breath to be unstable.
He mobilized a huge amount of mental power to suppress the conflict between the two forces with all his strength.
It took him two hours to finally control the situation in his body, but a haze appeared on his face.
Although he controlled it, but because he had to allocate power to suppress it, although his cultivation base had broken through to the late stage of Faxiang, the power he could mobilize became weaker instead.
As long as he tries to mobilize 100% of his power, the overlord of the sky and the dharma of heaven and earth will clash violently, causing chaos in his body. The light ones will go mad, and the severe ones will explode and die!
"Damn it, why is there such a problem at this time!"
Gu Chen's expression was gloomy, he was not far from the Tiankeng's eye, the danger was increasing, but his strength was weakened.
"Do you want to move on?"
Everyone saw that something was wrong with Gu Chen's situation and looked at each other.
Gu Chen gritted his teeth and nodded, he had already come here, how could he be willing not to take a look at the situation that day?
Everyone continued to move forward, and finally saw the Tiankeng Eye from a distance after a day and a half.
Where the eye of the tiankeng is located, the sky is like a black hole, swallowing all the light, and below, there is a vast and boundless abyss, pitch black and bottomless.
The terrain along this road descends rapidly, and there is no place on the ground that is flat, there are faults and cracks everywhere!
"What kind of disaster does it take to form such a place?"
Even though it was not the first time to see it from afar, Tan Lao and the others were still in awe.
Gu Chen's mind was even more shocked. No wonder it was called Tiankeng's Eye. Even a giant of 10,000 feet could not create such a huge black hole on the ground.
At this moment, from the edge of the Earth's Eye, there were dense crowds of ancient corpses crawling out continuously. They moved slowly, but their goals were very consistent, heading outside.
Because the rift in front became extremely narrow, the ancient corpses crowded the road, making it difficult for Gu Chen and others to move forward.
"I can only go here, and I will die if I go any further."
Many of the villains smiled wryly, although they were not afraid of death, they did not want to die in vain.
Gu Chen looked at the earth's eyes from afar and closed his eyes.
In his consciousness, he felt something that no one else could feel.
