Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing and Gu Yang walked in this boundless pure white space. The silence around them seemed to have frozen time.

Their footsteps echoed in the space, light yet cautious, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

In this space, the spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost imperceptible. It is like a forgotten wasteland, devouring all life.

The sky was also pure white, with no sun, no stars, no white clouds, and not even a breeze.

Their breathing seemed particularly clear in the dead silence, and every inhalation seemed to be communicating with the space.

Hu Qing frowned. His perception was greatly limited here. He could only rely on instinct and intuition to avoid unknown risks and follow the smell to guide his direction.

Gu Yang followed closely behind, his eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness, but more of curiosity about the unknown and trust in Ah Qing.

The two of them stored some spirit stones in their storage rings, but in this space where spiritual energy was depleted, the speed at which spiritual power was consumed far exceeded their expectations.

They didn't even use spiritual power to travel, they just walked normally, but some of their spiritual power was still drained away by unknown things.

They had to use them sparingly, and every spirit stone seemed extremely precious.

Hu Qing took out a spirit stone from the storage ring, held it in his hand, felt the weak spiritual energy flowing into his body, and barely maintained the spiritual power in his body.

"Ah Qing, this place is really weird. Even the spiritual energy is so thin. How do you think we can get out?"

Gu Yang said in a low voice, his voice echoing in the space, seeming a little hollow.

Hu Qing nodded without saying anything, but just focused more on sensing everything around him.

They all knew that in such an environment, any waste of spiritual energy could lead to a reduced chance of survival.

As they continued to move forward, an indescribable stench began to spread gradually. It was the smell of rotting and fermenting corpses, which made people feel nauseous involuntarily.

The stench was ten times worse than what they had smelled at first, and it felt like they were getting closer and closer to their destination.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang had to cover their noses with their hands to resist the disgusting smell.

There was a trace of trance in their eyes. This stench was really devastating to the mind.

"What's this thing that stinks! It stinks to death!" Gu Yang's voice was trembling a little, and he tried hard to suppress the discomfort in his stomach.

Hu Qing did not answer, he knew that no words could alleviate the impact of the stench.

He just walked forward more firmly, and every step seemed to challenge the limits of his body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a small black dot finally appeared in front of their eyes.

Against this pure white background, this small dot appears extremely conspicuous, like a bit of life in a barren land.

A hint of excitement flashed in Hu Qing and Gu Yang's eyes. They quickened their pace and rushed towards the small dot.

As the distance got closer, they found that the small dot was actually a black hole, emitting a deep light, like the eye of a giant beast, staring at them quietly.

The stench became even stronger here, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood in front of the cave entrance, and a foul smell wafted out from inside and flew in all directions.

They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

This cave entrance could be their only hope, or it could be a greater danger.

"Let's go. No matter what's inside, we must face it." Hu Qing's voice was firm and calm.

Gu Yang nodded, he tightly grasped the Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand, followed Hu Qing, and stepped into the unknown cave.

Inside the cave entrance is a narrow passage, and the surrounding walls are covered with strange fungi that emit a faint fluorescence.

These fungi looked particularly strange in the darkness, and their light seemed to be guiding them forward.

The stench in the air made it impossible for the two men to open their eyes, but fortunately there was some breeze flowing in the passage.

The two walked carefully in the passage, taking every step with extreme caution.

There may be unknown dangers hidden here, and any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, both of their faces turned green. The wind in the passage became weaker and weaker, but the stench became stronger and stronger.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood at the end of the passage, facing a huge hole. The stench here became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, as if even the light was swallowed up. In the pitch-black darkness, the heartbeats of the two people could be clearly heard.

Seeing this, Gu Yang took out a night pearl from his storage ring and flicked his fingers lightly. The night pearl floated in the air, emitting a soft light.

In the light, both of them discovered the skeletons on the ground.

These skeletons were scattered all over the ground, of different sizes and shapes. They were all the skeletons of monsters, and their grades were not low.

These skeletons looked particularly strange under the dim light of the night pearls, giving the two men a sense of foreboding.

"There are so many skeletons. It seems that a great battle took place here, and the casualties were so great."

Hu Qing said in a low voice, his voice echoing in the void with a hint of solemnity.

Gu Yang nodded and shone the night pearl deep into the cave, trying to find more clues.

However, when his eyes fell upon the scene deep in the cave, he couldn't help but gasp and froze.

There was a giant dragon sitting there, staring at Gu Yang and the other man with its sharp eyes.

The dragon was so huge that even when sitting there, it was as majestic as a small mountain.

Its scales gleamed dimly under the light of the night pearl, and its eyes were like two burning fireballs, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

One of the dragon's wings was broken off and stained with a black unknown liquid. The tail was completely rotten and the stench was emanating from there.

Although this giant dragon was seriously injured, its innate majesty and power still cannot be underestimated.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and saw shock and vigilance in each other's eyes.

Even if this dragon was injured, it was not an opponent they could easily deal with.

The two of them slowed down their breathing at the same time, trying not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the dragon.

"We have to be careful. Even though this dragon is injured, it's still very dangerous. Let's go back."

Hu Qing said in a very low voice, his eyes fixed on the dragon, looking for a possible escape route.

Gu Yang nodded, and the night pearl in his hand trembled slightly, showing his inner nervousness.

They are now on the brink of life and death, and any mistake may lead to catastrophic consequences.

The two of them slowly backed away, trying not to attract the dragon's attention.

However, just as they were about to exit the cave, the dragon suddenly moved.

It raised its head and stared at the two of them with a cunning glint in its eyes.

"Human, do you think you can escape from me so easily?"

The dragon's voice was deep and powerful, echoing like thunder in the cave.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang's bodies stiffened instantly. They knew that there was no way out now.

They can only face this dragon and look for a chance to survive.

"Respected Lord Dragon, we have no intention of offending you. We simply stumbled into this place by mistake."

Hu Qing tried his best to make his voice sound calm and respectful. He knew that in this situation, any hostility might trigger the dragon's attack.

"Oh ~ Don't enter? You are not saying don't enter. This is my space. You were teleported here by me. How can you say you entered by mistake?" The dragon said after taking a breath.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood in front of the giant dragon, their vigilance reaching its peak.

Their eyes revealed awe of the giant beast, but also concealed deep doubts.

The dragon's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in their hearts - they were actually teleported in by this dragon.

This discovery made them full of doubts about the dragon's intentions. Could it be that the dragon had designs on the holy weapon in their bodies?

The dragon seemed to see their doubts. It moved its huge body with great effort, and each movement was accompanied by a low groan. It was obvious that its injuries were extremely serious.

As the dragon moved, a broken bronze bell appeared behind it.

The surface of this bronze bell is covered with dense cracks, as if it would completely shatter if it were to bear a little more force.
