Chapter 42: Attention from the Demon Race
“Do you seek death? How dare you so recklessly disperse the aura of demonic powers?” A powerful and familiar divine consciousness fluctuated in the void above Fengyun Wuji, the mysterious elder who had vanished for over two hundred years.
A strange force, akin to a sharp thorn, pierced Fengyun Wuji’s mind. He shuddered, as if doused with cold water, and awoke completely. The dense demonic energy that had been echoing around him gradually dissipated, merging with the world.
Boom!
Suddenly, a destructive force, as if nothing could withstand it, heavily struck Fengyun Wuji’s chest. With a whoosh, Fengyun Wuji’s body sprayed blood like sweat, colliding with the top of the water prison like a projectile. The meridians capable of absorbing true energy attacks were completely blasted open by this purely physical assault.
Unexpected, completely unexpected, his internal organs seemed to want to vomit out. Before being completely blasted into the mud of the water prison, in a flash, a figure filled with demonic energy flashed through the corner of Fengyun Wuji’s eye.
The door of the underground water prison was still tightly locked, but within the prison, beside the dirty water carrying many skeletons, a powerful demon suddenly appeared, standing over three zhang tall, wearing a mysterious black helmet, dressed in armor, with knotted muscles, and eyes like copper bells, surrounded by a thick layer of lingering demonic energy over three chi.
“You may leave, this matter no longer concerns you!” The powerful demon said, then rose into the sky, carrying the supreme demonic might and rushed into the cave broken open by Fengyun Wuji.
“Flee for your life! I didn’t expect your aura to attract the attention of the demon general Morpheus. Now it’s troublesome. I can’t be exposed, everything depends on you.” The old man’s voice echoed in Fengyun Wuji’s mind: “I have temporarily used means to delay his pursuit. Whether you can escape with your life depends on your own abilities, now!”
The powerful divine consciousness had just finished speaking in Fengyun Wuji’s mind when Fengyun Wuji felt his soul enveloped by a strange and extremely powerful force, forcibly separated from his body.
This is a very peculiar feeling. Fengyun Wuji feels like a stream merging into a broad and warm sea. At this moment, there is no difference between the stream and the sea.
Led by that powerful divine consciousness, Fengyun Wuji’s divine consciousness perceives the layout of the underground water prison. He ‘sees’ this vast, almost boundless underground water prison, with crisscrossing passages, like leaf veins, dividing the underground space into separate cells. Each water prison houses two to five clansmen. Some clansmen seem to feel this strange consciousness fluctuation, lifelessly raising their heads to look into the void. Extending further outward, Fengyun Wuji sees a huge square paved with water rocks, divided into grids. On the square, tens of thousands of enchanting demonesses, lying, leaning, or reclining in seductive poses, are endlessly entwined with thousands of emaciated men.
Further out, at the edge of the water prison, hundreds of thousands of demons are fully armed and standing at the entrance, their demonic energy converging to form a surging demonic tide that envelops the entire underground water prison.
“There are at least twenty demons here with cultivation far surpassing yours by dozens of times.” The man’s voice echoed deep in Fengyun Wuji’s mind, “Demons are naturally belligerent and generally won’t gang up on a weak opponent. Your only chance of survival is above, if you are lucky, you might be able to escape to the transfer gate not far from this underground water prison, where you may have a chance to return to the ancient times.”
After the old man finished speaking, the powerful consciousness energy had already taken Fengyun Wuji through thousands of layers of rock layers, entering a cold region. This is a dark sea, the depth of which is unknown. Driven by that person’s consciousness, Fengyun Wuji felt the dense, varying strengths of breaths scattered around in the dark sea of the netherworld that has existed for billions of years.
“These are the sea beasts in the netherworld sea, whose sheer power is far stronger than those of the demons, but although they have huge bodies and incomparably strong power, their intelligence has not yet evolved. If you can avoid being preyed upon by these beasts, then you can escape from this prison.”
Then the powerful divine consciousness receded like the tide and disappeared without a trace.
Boom! A loud noise, dozens of huge boulders with unparalleled might bombarded Fengyun Wuji, followed by the demon general Morpheus, his whole body ablaze with fierce black flames, emerging from the broken rocks with a long halberd.
“Despicable human, if it weren’t for the order of the second prince, I would have killed you already!” Morpheus roared, shaking his hands, a beam of purple light like a rainbow howling with a tearing sound, blasting towards Fengyun Wuji. Wherever it passed, the rock turned into dust, drifting down.
Fengyun Wuji was suddenly attacked and was already injured. Seeing the purple light approaching, he had no choice but to unseal his body, condensing the sword energy to the extreme, and splitting it out of his palm with a hiss. He forcefully divided the purple light into two, but the two beams of purple light still bypassed the sword energy and hit Fengyun Wuji’s shoulders.
The fine sound of cracking was incessant, and both shoulders were shattered in an instant, and his arms hung down limply. Behind the purple light, the fierce Morpheus punched with the supreme demonic fire heavily on Fengyun Wuji’s chest.
Boom!
Fengyun Wuji, like a projectile, pierced through thousands of layers of rock and rushed up. Behind him, a narrow passage stretched straight up.
The trauma of the body further intensified, and the tearing pain made Fengyun Wuji unable to help but howl. Black blood broke through his mouth, spraying onto the surrounding rock layers with black flames, emitting a corrosive sizzling sound.
The severe injury made Fengyun Wuji’s consciousness blur. In this world, the world’s repulsion made it impossible for him to exert his full strength. In the haze, a distorted tall figure flashed before his eyes, and it was the demon general Philos who broke through the layers of rock and caught up.
“Perish!” Philos’s purple eyes flashed coldly, his voice as cold as the cold snow in winter. Then, with a slight tremor in his arms, the vast and domineering demonic energy destroyed the layers of meridians in Fengyun Wuji’s upper body and attacked the heart. The surging demonic energy turned into towering black flames, swallowing Fengyun Wuji completely…
