Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

The blazing and fierce divine fire swept across the eight directions, as if a scorching sun was floating there, burning all tangible objects within the area.

"Jie—"

A sharp bird-like cry tore through the sky, and a man stood up, standing in the overwhelming sea of ​​​​blazing fire. His eyes opened and closed, shooting out two red rainbows that pierced through the nine-day clouds.

His red hair danced wildly in the wind, full of ferocity and wildness. He looked up to the sky and roared, shaking the surrounding mountains and valleys violently, as if an ancient god had resurrected. It was Shentu Ling!

In the outside world, many people gasped at the scene reflected by the skylight. Is this monstrous and peerless genius preparing to come out and compete for supremacy?

At this moment, the senior figures from all parties had their eyes flickering as they stared at Shen Tu Ling in the picture.

There were also many people whispering.

"Shen Tu Ling is one of the most talented young demons in the demon race. In the early years, he was unrivaled among the younger generation of the Southern Region of the Jiuli Dynasty. If he were not surrounded by many people or attacked by a powerful person, there would be few people in the world who could kill him."

"Even someone this gorgeous and powerful had a defeat before. She was defeated by Qianhe in a duel at the same level!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused discussions from all sides.

Back then, the duel between Gu Chi and Shen Tu Ling in Bi Bo Ze, the home of the sixth greatest thief Dragon King in the North, was not known to everyone in the world, but most of the forces in the North had heard about it more or less. They knew that Shen Tu Ling lost the duel and was even nearly killed.

"Now that Qianhe has also entered Kunlun Ruins, if these two meet, there will definitely be a life-and-death duel."

Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping that Shen Tu Ling could help them get rid of Gu Chi and eliminate their biggest threat.

"The Seventh Emperor, Yu Huachen, has also emerged from his confinement. If today's unrivaled genius were to meet this ancient hidden genius, who knows what kind of sparks would fly."

"No, why is the cave where Yu Huachen is in seclusion still shrouded in chaotic mist?"

Someone exclaimed, noticing something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, since Yu Huachen has come out of seclusion, the cave where he was in seclusion should have gradually become clearly visible. Why is it still obscured by the secrets of heaven and cannot be explored?

"Could it be that the figure that just walked out was not the real body of the Seventh Generation Lord Yu Huachen, but just one of his clones?" Someone made this guess.

Someone nodded and said, "That should be the case. If he had come out in his true form, the chaotic mist in his cave should have dissipated long ago. It's impossible for it to be so thick."

Everyone agreed that Yu Huachen's real body did not leave the place of retreat, but simply split into a clone to go out and walk.

……

Eclipse Realm, an area outside the evil nest.

The mountains and forests here are dense, the roads are rugged, and it is impossible to fly.

The air was filled with a pungent stench of decay, a mixture of the smell of rotting wild fruits, flowers, leaves, and various animal carcasses, which was extremely unpleasant.

Gu Chi and his group each held up a layer of protective light curtain and moved forward with their noses pinched.

Soon after, bright red bloodstains appeared on the ground, and dead bodies appeared in front of them in a disorderly manner, no less than hundreds of them. The blood on most of the bodies had dried up and solidified, and they had already rotted. It was obvious that they had been dead for a long time.

"It shouldn't be like this. After reaching the Golden Core Stage, even after death, the flesh and blood can be preserved for a long time. Even if these people were killed on the first day after entering Kunlun Ruins, they shouldn't have rotted so quickly," Murong Zhixiu muttered, pinching his nose.

Gu Chi also found it a bit strange and said, "How could so many people die at once? When people encounter irresistible danger, they should flee in all directions. Why are they piled up like this?"

After her examination, she found that these people showed no signs of violent struggle before death. It seemed that they were killed by a single blow. Who could kill so many people in an instant?

With doubts, they dug holes and filled them with soil along the way, burying all the dead bodies.

However, in this mountain forest, corpses were almost everywhere. Dozens of them could be seen every few steps. The hoe in Gu Chi's hand was almost smoking.

"Corpses are piled up like mountains. What on earth is going on in this place?!" Zhang Zhen's face turned pale. There were at least thousands of corpses along the way. And the most important thing was that these people died in groups of dozens or hundreds. It didn't look like they were being chased.

Above the head, ten big suns and thirty-three stars are all scarlet as blood and look very strange. Higher up, there are thousands of colorful stars densely covering the sky, shining brightly.

Looking in front of me, I saw swaying tree shadows, thickets of thorns, and severely decomposed corpses everywhere on the mountains and plains. The smell of blood and the stench of decay mixed together was particularly pungent.

Even though Murong Zhixiu and the other four little bandits thought they had seen big scenes, they were frightened at this moment and their faces looked unhappy.

"This is a dead end. We can't go any further, otherwise we might end up like these people." Li Wangcen frowned.

Here, they had walked all the way and had hardly seen a single living person, which was definitely not a good sign.

They climbed up a cliff and stood there looking forward. Their view became wider and they saw more corpses, piled up into small hills, and among them were many outstanding geniuses of the younger generation!

The ground was scarlet, the blood had long since dried up, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled from a long distance away.

In the mountains farther away, bones were scattered all over the ground. From a distance, they looked like white snow, very conspicuous, and filled with such evil energy that it chilled people to the bone.

All these scenes make people's scalps chill and cold sweats appear on their backs.

Gu Chi was shocked. Along the way, plus the corpses and bones in the distance ahead, there must be more than ten thousand people, right? This must be an extremely dangerous demonic land, otherwise it is impossible for so many people to die at once!

"I think we should retreat. There's no need to take risks." Murong Zhixiu was the first to retreat. He felt frightened and very uneasy.

"You all step back, I'll go to the front and take a look myself."

Gu Chi said this, she had a premonition that there must be some extraordinary magical object hidden deep in this area.

"No, it's too dangerous!" Tuoba Cang rejected it outright. Murong Zhixiu and Da Heigou also tried to dissuade her, saying that she couldn't take the risk alone.

"Don't worry, I have the golden silk of autumn silkworms to protect me, and my speed is much faster than yours. If I really encounter some irresistible danger, at least I can retreat." Gu Chi said.

The big black dog was firm in his attitude and insisted on going with Gu Chi, and Tuoba Cang also expressed his willingness to go with her. So many people died here one after another, maybe there really was some great fortune, and he felt that he could give it a try.
