Chapter 351 Ancient Demon

“No wonder it is said that the power of heaven and earth also exists in the abyss of the earth. It is said to be the abyss of the earth, but it feels more like a mezzanine of the world, a special ‘small world’.”

 Chen Mu felt the changes in the abyss carefully, and couldn't help but look thoughtful.

At first, he heard many descriptions of the Earth Abyss. For example, the Earth Abyss was not isolated from the Qiantian, but also contained the power of the Qiantian. At that time, he also felt very strange, because it was clear that there was almost communication in the ground a hundred feet deep. If we can't reach the sky, why can we reach the abyss thousands of feet deep and still have the power to dry the sky?

Now in his perception, this earth abyss is not like the structure of the underground at all, but like another world. The eight phases of heaven and earth are also in circulation here. Wind, thunder, water and fire all exist, as does the sky, but not as good as Kun. The strength of the earth.

and.

 In addition to the power of the eight phases of the universe, there are also other mixed and mottled auras.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his gaze to somewhere about a hundred feet away. Then his figure flashed past and appeared there. He saw that there was a sunken pit with some signs of damage inside. There was a hint of black energy dissipating.

He is now very familiar with this black energy.

 Devil energy!

 The demonic energy, which is almost impossible to find on the earth, still exists in this abyss.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 After traveling for more than a hundred miles along an unknown path, Chen Mu finally met the first living creature in the abyss.

It's no wonder that Murong Yan, who is on the list of heroes, did not order to explore the abyss this time. Although her strength is barely adequate, she is not a master and has not practiced martial arts. After all, there are many dangers here, let alone her. Those who cultivate are still practicing the Qiantian lineage rather than the Kundi lineage, otherwise they might be willing to take some risks to explore.

 In the silent abyss of the earth, it is not that light cannot be seen.

Almost as soon as Chen Mu's figure disappeared into the dark abyss, a ripple quietly rippled in the dark shadow behind, and then disappeared without a trace like water ripples.

This coyote was walking on the wasteland vigilantly. Suddenly, as if it noticed something, a fierce and fierce light flashed in a pair of demon eyes. It suddenly jumped up, pounced towards the right, and opened its mouth to bite. .

Chen Mu didn't stay much, and walked away into the distance with a flash of his figure.

This is a small 'coyote', only about one foot in size, with a withered yellow color all over its body. If it were on the ground, it would only be a second- or third-level monster, but in this abyss, something seems to have changed. The breath is fierce.

Like the quiet night at dusk, Chen Mu's figure is like a wisp of black mist, extending silently in the darkness.

The masters of various sects entered the Abyss with the Cangshuang Mountains as the center, and then they must spread out to explore in all directions. Chen Mu did not care about the masters of other sects, and he was not in a hurry to travel far at the moment. The environment of the Abyss was not suitable for him. For him, it was a change in the world that he had never experienced before. Just by slowly exploring here, his understanding of the universe was constantly improving.

That was where Chen Mu was standing. It was not surprising to see the coyote swooping towards him. After all, he was close enough and he did not deliberately suppress all his aura.

"This abyss is indeed full of dangers..."

Chen Mu took a look at the traces. Although the slain demon was not of a high level and was killed by a certain master with one blow, if it was a person in the Six Fu realm who was oppressed by the abyss, it would be difficult to deal with it. Easy.

 …

Although in his current situation, it is impossible to reach the third step of artistic conception without entering the blood exchange realm, but before entering the blood exchange realm, it is not a disadvantage to accumulate more insights, and there are also intuitive gains in experience points on the system panel.

 After carefully observing some residual marks,

boom.

 Judging from the broken marks, it should be a demon or something that was killed by a certain master with one palm, leaving a few traces.

 There is a dark light in the entire earth abyss, which is dim and deep in color. It is the light of the flowing earth veins. Although it is far less bright than the earthly world, it is still easy for the Grandmaster to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

in this way.

With his current strength, even though he is not afraid of the ninth-level heavenly demons, he still acts cautiously in a strange abyss that he has never explored before, using the Emperor's Qi Condensing Technique to restrain his energy and hide his body shape. , carefully exploring the surrounding area.

Facing the coyote's pounce, Chen Mu only raised his right hand and flicked the huge wolf's head with his finger.

With a sound like a drum, the coyote flew back at a faster speed. It didn't even make a whimpering sound. It just rolled its eyes and hit the loess with a bang.

"interesting."

Chen Mu looked thoughtful and walked to the body of the coyote.

His finger just now, with invisible energy, broke through the coyote's head and crushed its skull. However, the force of his finger was resisted by its hard skull and did not directly shatter.

This was not something he did deliberately, to restrain the power of one finger, but just flicked out a very ordinary finger. Unexpectedly, this coyote's body was a little stronger than he expected.

"It's only about the sixth level, but the strength of the demon body is close to that of the seventh-level demon king."

Chen Mu looked at the body of the coyote and thought about it for a while, but he didn't feel surprised at all.

The environment in this abyss is special, and strong oppression pervades all directions. Whether it is a monster or a monster that survives here, its body must be far stronger than on the ground.

but.

Just when Chen Mu was squatting next to the coyote corpse to study, suddenly the black shadow in the distance changed, and a slender demonic shadow quietly approached Chen Mu's back in the darkness, and its sharp claws like shadows were raised silently. He tore into Chen Mu's back!

"snort."

 Chen Mu snorted coldly, his expression unchanged. He turned around and swept away his sleeve. A surging power of the universe burst out and collided heavily with the black shadow that attacked his back.

The power of the universe waved by the sleeves of the robe was surging. When they collided with each other, the black shadow was obviously outmatched. The dark claws suddenly retracted, and the whole body flexed and was about to retreat far away.

 Chen Mu squinted his eyes.

However, he saw that the thing that attacked him was even weirder. It seemed to be extremely small, like a dark cat, but the sharp claws that were raised before were unnaturally huge, as if they were spreading out from the shadows.

And the most important thing is that the aura on his body is completely different from that of the demon wolf, accompanied by an extremely profound ferocious malice. If the coyote attacks him, it may be because he is threatened, or it may be for prey, then this dark beast Just for the sake of killing, unabashed violence.

 Ancient Demon!

 An ancient demon race that is almost extinct in the earthly world!

Moreover, this ancient demon has reached the seventh level, and its strength is not inferior to those of the seventh level demon kings. Otherwise, it would not have been able to just be knocked over in the air after enduring the power of his sleeve just now. Individual.     “Want to leave?”

Chen Mu saw this ancient demon trying to escape, and immediately snorted coldly, not intending to let it go.

In fact, even in the Abyss, seventh-level ancient demons are by no means everywhere. This ancient demon must have been alarmed by the movement of a large number of masters entering the Abyss. Perhaps seeing the crowd, it quietly He stayed hidden and remained calm until he saw Chen Mu who was 'alone', then he followed secretly from behind and took action suddenly.

The real ancient demon is different from the kind of monster that is corroded by demonic energy. It exists in an extremely strange state. It can be said to have a body, but it can also be said that it does not have it. It is more like a condensed substance of demonic energy. The product, and unlike that kind of crazy 'demon', the ancient demon is more insidious, cunning, violent and cruel.

This end is obviously it.

 The attack on Chen Mu failed. Sensing the difference in strength, he immediately tried to escape.

 “Stay.”

However, Chen Mu didn't give him a chance. He caught up with him in one step and chased him with a fist seal in the air. It was surging and mighty, mobilizing the power of the nearby heaven and earth and condensing it into a heaven and earth wheel seal.

The ancient demon noticed the power of this blow, and emitted a harsh roar from its pitch-black body, which seemed to be the condensed screams of countless creatures. It made people feel extremely uncomfortable. At the same time, surging demonic energy surged and converged into a Remember the magic mark.

　　Boom!

The demon seal collided with the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, and there was an explosion. However, with the violent collision, the Demon Seal was obviously invincible, and it disintegrated layer by layer, turning into pitch-black demonic energy, and was crushed inch by inch by the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal.

Seeing that it could not resist Chen Mu's moves, the ancient demon roared again, its whole body expanded violently, and its violent and crazy aura suddenly rose, as if it was trying to fight Chen Mu with all its strength.

 But just the next moment.

boom.

The swollen body suddenly tore like black cloth, splashed out, and turned into seven or eight fragmented black masses, flying in all directions and escaping in different directions!

“Is this the so-called disintegration of the demons, their gathering and dispersion?”

However, when Chen Mu looked at this scene, he did not show any surprise. Although it was his first time fighting against a real ancient demon, he had already seen some of the methods of the ancient demon from many ancient books, and also from Feng Hongsheng and other masters have learned some of it, and they also know a lot about the methods of the ancient demon.

 The disintegration and unpredictable gathering and dispersion of the heavenly demon is one of the methods of the ancient demon. Its body can be materialized and challenge the powerful demon king, but it can also become virtual, fall apart all of a sudden, and then reorganize again after being separated, which does not affect its survival.

 “Destroy.”

Chen Mu didn't say much nonsense. He made a fist and pressed down weakly.

But he saw that the turbulent heaven and earth wheel seals that condensed into a ball of light suddenly dispersed as he moved, and suddenly turned into eight wheel seals of different shapes and colors, chasing towards a broken black shadow. .

boom!

The wind wheel caught up with a piece and split it into countless fragments. There was a faint scream from the fragments.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang!

Thunder Wheel caught up with a piece, and crushed it completely with one blow, turning it into a plume of black smoke without even a scream.

 fire wheel, water wheel, heaven wheel…

The decomposed Heaven and Earth Wheel Seals each attacked a group of black shadows. After catching up, they exploded with power and killed them piece by piece. The screams were endless until the last piece fell apart, and the surrounding area finally became calm.

At the same time, Chen Mu himself pursued the largest piece of it. At this time, he had completely suppressed it. He used Yuangang's inner strength to control it, causing it to fall into his palm and turn into a piece of black that seemed virtual and real. The mist was constantly changing in the palm of my hand, and from time to time human faces appeared, roaring violently and ferociously at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu ignored the ancient demon's changes and just stared straight at the black mist.

Unexpected.

In his sight, the black mist changed again, and actually showed a face that he was very familiar with. It was Xu Hongyu, who seemed to be crying, looking at him sadly, as if he didn't understand why he was so cruel. .

But as Chen Mu regained consciousness, that illusion immediately disappeared without a trace, and what appeared in front of him were still those ferocious and vicious faces of black mist.

 “Gathering and dispersing are impermanent, and the gods and demons have no appearance…”

 Chen Mu looked at the remains of the ancient demon in his palm that could not escape no matter how much it struggled and changed, but there was a look of great interest in his eyes.

 Meeting and dispersing impermanently.

In fact, he has also understood this realm. It is like the heaven and earth itself. Water, fire, wind and thunder can be transformed into the power of heaven and earth, and can also be manifested in reality. Including his daily escape from the earth, he makes use of the impermanence of gathering and dispersion.

But this kind of impermanence is limited to the simplest basic structure between heaven and earth. He cannot let his body take on the form of impermanence. He completely ignores blunt attacks and methods, even if he has mastered the Qiankun Martial Body. Can't do it either.

 But the ancient demon can.

Their bodies can not only turn into substance, which is as tough as steel and carry extremely high strength, but they can also disintegrate into reality, split and disintegrate at will, and even take on different appearances.

Of course, the ancient demon he suppressed was only at the seventh level and could not reach the level of a heavenly demon. It was rumored that when it reached the level of a heavenly demon, it could truly be formless, shapeless, unpredictable, and strange.

even so.

This ancient demon still has the ability to confuse people's minds and can slightly affect his vision. If his state of mind had not reached the end of Mingjing Shisui, it would not be so easy to see its true nature.

The most important thing is that in Chen Mu's current close-up experience, he can realize the essence of the ancient demon's existence. It seems that it is not part of the eight phases of the universe and is not composed of any one. It is also the only one he has seen now. This thing is independent of heaven and earth, and completely contrary to the whole world.

It was not that he had not been exposed to demonic energy earlier, even more than once, but at that time, his understanding of the nature of heaven and earth was far less than it is now. But now, he has even experienced the brief "unity of heaven and man", and his understanding of heaven and earth has pointed to the essence. , only after capturing an ancient demon can you feel its real difference.

“It is not part of the heaven and earth. Its essence is more like a group of souls gathered by negativity such as filth and violence. It blends with a part of the power of heaven and earth to form the current structural state..."

 Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

If the essence of the ancient demon is not part of this world, then where did it come from in the first place? Did it come from outside this world?
