Chapter 1278

"Here, what is this place …"

Gu Ding frowned slightly as he looked around.

As far as he could see, it was a land of death.

The black scorched land had countless traces of war left behind. The ground was cracked, like a spider web of scars, huge pits left by the battle, and a bottomless long and narrow ancient abyss.

On the ground, there were occasional fragments and residue left behind by various God Weapons.

Gu Ding activated his Black Pupil and carefully scanned his surroundings, looking for an exit.

"It looks like an ancient battlefield. There are remnants of precepts and god sequence chains, but there are no traces of Tao Runes …"

"Neptune said before that the aura left behind by the True Rule is almost eternal. Once it is left, it will remain forever. Even if tens of thousands of eras have passed, it can't be erased. There are no remnants of Tao Runes here, which means that no powerhouse above True King Level has fought on this battlefield. "

"In other words, this should be a battlefield below True King Level!"

Gu Ding used Black Pupil to come to this conclusion from the traces left behind by the battle and the broken God Weapons.

But soon, Black Pupil explored a strange place.

Gu Ding rushed toward that location, and from a distance, he saw the scene that Black Pupil had observed before.

It was a crimson river, and the river water was like magma, emitting a strange red glow.

This river was wide and boundless, like the sea, and it was hundreds of millions of miles long. It was like a bloody python from primitive times, scuttling on this land.

"What a terrifying aura …" Gu Ding stopped moving forward from a distance, not daring to go closer.

He could feel that there was a terrifying force field near this river. Anyone who approached it was likely to be pulled into this ancient river by this force field.

Gu Ding activated Black Pupil again and looked into the distance. His position was more than three hundred miles away from the river. Even at such a distance, there were gusts of wind surging. Gu Ding's intuition told him that he should not go any closer.

Under the observation of Black Pupil, Gu Ding saw that there was something faintly floating in the river.

He took a closer look and found that they were huge skeletons. Although the skeletons were not densely distributed in the ancient river, Gu Ding roughly counted and found that there were nearly a hundred thousand skeletons in the area that he could see.

"Is this ancient river the legendary Yellow Spring?! Could it be that the Nether Hall is suppressing this river?! "

Gu Ding suddenly had a lot of questions in his mind, but he soon thought of a more practical problem.

"Just now, that woman said that no one who entered this place would return alive. I used my Black Pupil to look around, but I didn't find anything abnormal. The only thing I couldn't see through was the ancient river. In other words, the danger should come from this river! "

As soon as Gu Ding thought of this, there was a sudden tremor from the Ancient Crimson River. After that, the already raging wind became even more violent, and even Gu Ding could not stand steadily.

Gu Ding's expression changed slightly. With a punch, he blasted a path out of the gale, and his figure dashed away.

A moment later, Gu Ding appeared a thousand miles away from the Ancient Crimson River.

He stood proudly in the void and looked at the changes that were happening in the ancient river with his black pupils.

At this moment, the ancient blood-colored river seemed to be boiling and surging violently.

The waves that were originally only a few hundred meters high were now surging violently, becoming thousands of meters high. The range of the force field had also obviously increased.

This was because Gu Ding saw that the areas that were not affected much by the force field were now being swept into the river.

Under the observation of his black pupils, Gu Ding found that the changes in the blood river were not accidental, but caused by something in the river.

Although he could not see clearly what was in the blood river, Gu Ding could clearly feel that there was a murderous aura that was rapidly increasing, as if it was going to rush out of the blood river.

Just as the waves of the blood river surged to the peak, a huge black shadow emerged from the surface of the blood river.

It was a giant one-eyed beast. It seemed to want to escape from the blood river, but it only revealed a small part of its body before it was entangled by countless blood-colored tentacles that stretched out from the blood river and pulled back.

Gu Ding saw that the giant one-eyed beast looked like a giant one-eyed dragon, but also like a giant one-eyed python. Its back was covered with a layer of purple-gold scale armor, and only its upper body that was exposed looked like it was made of metal. The most terrifying thing was the eye that occupied half of its head. It was a strange blood-colored color, and there were strange patterns flowing on its pupil.

The giant beast let out an angry roar, and the boiling of the blood river became more and more agitated. It even used a huge blood-colored wave to block its sound.

Even so, Gu Ding, who was thousands of miles away, was still affected by the sound waves that escaped. His eardrums instantly shattered, and blood flowed from his ears. However, it only took a moment for it to repair itself.

Gu Ding was shocked. He did not expect this giant beast to be so terrifying.

However, the ancient blood-colored river seemed to be stronger, and it suppressed the giant one-eyed beast once again. Soon, only a small part of its body was left exposed.

Only then did Gu Ding notice how huge the giant one-eyed beast was.

The difference between the other skeletons and its head was like the difference between sesame seeds and watermelons. However, the skeletons that Gu Ding had seen earlier were at least the skeletons of giant beasts that were at least thousands of meters long. Just the head of the giant one-eyed beast was comparable to more than a hundred times the size of the other skeletons.

"The monstrous murderous aura is all coming from this giant one-eyed beast. This blood river is used to suppress it. In that case, the purpose of the Nether Temple is not to suppress the blood river, but to suppress this giant beast! "Gu Ding instantly understood.

However, at that moment, the giant one-eyed beast seemed to have heard Gu Ding's whisper. It looked in Gu Ding's direction from thousands of miles away.

Sensing that the giant one-eyed beast was looking in his direction, Gu Ding was about to retreat further away when he suddenly realized that time and space around him seemed to have been frozen. His body could not move at all, and even his thoughts were slowing down.

"Oh no!"

At that moment, the giant blood-colored river surged again, blocking the giant one-eyed beast's line of sight.

Gu Ding felt his body relax, and he immediately opened a space-time door, stepped into it, and quickly escaped.

By the time he came out from the other side of the space-time door, he did not know how far away he was from the ancient blood-colored river. He did not dare to ask about the giant one-eyed beast anymore. In that instant just now, he had almost died.

Gu Ding had just steadied himself and was about to explore a new environment when he heard an incomparably angry roar from afar. He knew that the voice belonged to the giant beast. Its angry roar had finally reached him.

However, Gu Ding was too far away, so it did not affect him much. It was just that his breathing was not very smooth.

However, Gu Ding did not know that the giant one-eyed beast's roar had awakened something else in the area …
