Danwu God Emperor

Staring at the dark passage before him, Ye Lou's gaze was sharp and unwavering. Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward and walked inside, his footsteps making a crisp sound.

Mu Wanrou and Tongbeihou watched with trepidation. This was only the outer perimeter. They had no idea what strange things were inside the huge stone cave, let alone whether there was an ancient tomb inside.

However, the horrifying events that had occurred before, as well as the treasures that Ye Lou had obtained, had pushed them to their breaking point.

After taking the first step, Ye Lou stopped. Apart from the sound of bones breaking, there was no other sound, which gradually emboldened him.

"Wait until I'm halfway there before you come over," Ye Lou instructed, turning back. The two nodded, not out of fear, but because they didn't want to implicate him.

The passage was dark and long, with nothing but skeletons and Dark Ancient Dew underfoot. It had already taken more than half an hour to walk halfway through. Looking at the Dark Ancient Dew growing everywhere on the ground, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

What pained Ye Lou even more were the pills and weapons next to these skeletons. These people were definitely not ordinary people, and the treasures they carried were absolutely extraordinary. However, with so many corpses here, the air was thick with resentment. The pills had long been corrupted by the resentment, and the weapons were filled with murderous aura. These were absolutely not to be touched.

Although Ye Lou had defeated the demonic will, that was an extreme situation where he survived against all odds, unleashing unimaginable willpower. Moreover, this extreme resentment was somewhat different from the demonic will, formed from the accumulated resentment of so many corpses over thousands of years, and he was not confident in his ability to overcome it.

"You guys come over here too." After ensuring the safety of the area, Ye Lou waved to Mu Wanrou and the Tongbei Monkey at the cave entrance.

Tongbeihou and Mu Wanrou nodded and stepped in at the same time. With Ye Lou's footprints, their progress was much faster. However, the passage was much longer than expected. Ye Lou walked for a full hour before he could see a faint light ahead.

Moreover, the atmosphere inside was extremely oppressive, as if you could feel the wailing of the vengeful spirits hovering above.

"We're almost there, be careful." Ye Lou turned around and gave them a few more instructions, but Mu Wanrou was naturally the most worried.

When Ye Lou stood at the end of the cave entrance, his face was filled with shock. Tongbei Hou and Mu Wanrou also rushed over quickly and were equally stunned, because what appeared in front of them was neither a tomb nor a treasure.

Instead, it was a cliff, with the cave entrance leading to a wide-open space opposite, where there was an endless void, shrouded in mist and haze, with the occasional chilling sound of the wind echoing through the air.

"Did we go to the wrong entrance?" Mu Wanrou asked casually. This place was very strange. There were hundreds of entrances, and every one of them was littered with corpses. It was not impossible that there was only one exit.

The monkey with a bitter face said, "Do we have to search for them one by one?"

“We shouldn’t have gone the wrong way.” Ye Lou shook his head. Although Mu Wanrou’s words made sense, the ends of these caves all pointed in these directions. It shouldn’t be said that there was only one exit, but that every cave entrance was an exit.

Ye Lou walked forward again. To verify his conjecture, he only needed to walk out of the passage and see that there were indeed many cave entrances on the side. Mu Wanrou and Tongbeihou followed closely behind.

As soon as they stepped out of the cave, a huge stone hammer suddenly came crashing down. Caught off guard, looking up, it looked as if a mountain was falling down, blotting out the sky. The only thought that popped into Ye Lou's mind was to push them away.

"Go!" At the critical moment, Mu Wanrou and the Tongbei Monkey were so frightened that they froze on the spot, their eyes filled with terror. If Ye Lou hadn't pushed them hard into the cave, they would have been crushed into dust in an instant.

Although they escaped death, Ye Lou had no time to run away. Facing the huge hammer, Ye Lou used all his strength. In an instant, the enhancement of the Ice Soul Divine Seal and the Demonic Will reached their limits.

He raised both palms high above his head, his spiritual energy surging forth like a tidal wave, his entire being seemingly boiling with power. With a roar, he clashed his palms against the giant hammer.

Rumble!

The violent energy exploded out, shaking the entire cave violently. The rubble on the walls was shaken and rolled down. Ye Lou's all-out attack, the Southern Nose Style, was crushed layer by layer. He felt as if a huge force was crushing his body, and his internal organs were about to be flattened.

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and Ye Lou was so shocked that he knelt down on one knee.

"Ye Lou!" Mu Wanrou had never been so nervous. She almost rushed out, but luckily the Tongbeihou pulled her back.

"Don't come any closer!" Ye Lou shouted. Seeing that the spiritual energy in his hand had broken through, he was about to be crushed into mincemeat if he didn't leave. Suddenly, he dodged and rolled to the other side. The giant hammer crashed down, the cliff shook violently again, and a large hole appeared in the ground.

"That was close!" Ye Lou took a deep breath, and Mu Wanrou and the mongoose at the cave entrance suddenly relaxed.

boom!

Only then did Ye Lou see the scene before him clearly. Standing in front of him was a stone statue ten zhang tall, wearing a helmet and carved stone armor. The stone hammer it held in its hand must have weighed hundreds of thousands of jin, without any exaggeration.

Ye Lou truly felt the power of this hammer. Even with his full-force attack, he couldn't withstand its attack. This strength required at least a Spirit Guiding Realm expert to fight against it.

Moreover, although the stone statue lacks sentience, it is carved so lifelike that it seems to have appeared here to guard the entrance to the cave.

"It's too dangerous. We shouldn't stay here any longer." Ye Lou made this decision without hesitation. No matter how amazing the treasures ahead were, he didn't plan to go any further. His only thought was how to get back to the cave entrance.

He now stands on the edge of the cliff, with stone statues guarding the cave entrance, and stone beads looking down at Ye Lou as if he were a weak ant.

Ye Lou stared straight ahead, his elusive footwork already activated. He figured the stone statue was incredibly strong and he could use his speed to pass through it and return to the cave entrance. Although he had planned it out, things didn't go as he expected.

As soon as Ye Lou took the stance, the giant hammer of the stone statue fell again, but this time it didn't strike Ye Lou directly. Instead, it landed in front of him, blocking his path. The remaining force was so powerful that it swept him away like a whirlwind.

"Ye Lou!"

Seeing Ye Lou being shaken off the cliff, Mu Wanrou's mind went blank. Without thinking, she rushed out, intending to grab Ye Lou, but with her early-stage Spirit Guiding Realm strength, how could she possibly catch up?

"Ah!" With a scream, Mu Wanrou also fell down.

"What is this?" The Tongbei Monkey was so anxious that it spun around in place. Suddenly, it also increased its speed to the maximum. Although it no longer had the support of the Ice Soul Divine Seal and had become an old monkey, its agile speed was still its natural talent.

It jumped down after her, and even though it rushed out later than Mu Wanrou, it still caught up with her, gripping the rock in the middle of the cliff tightly with one hand and pulling on Mu Wanrou's arm with the other.

At that moment, Ye Lou also took out a long sword from his Qiankun bag and plunged it into the cliff face. He slid up the cliff for dozens of meters before finally regaining his footing.

"Wanrou, are you alright?" Ye Lou knew that Mu Wanrou had also jumped down. Looking up, he could vaguely see the figures of the monkey and Mu Wanrou.

"I'm fine, I'm with the mongoose." Mu Wanrou also saw Ye Lou at the same time, and her worried expression gradually relaxed.

"Your Majesty, this stone is about to give way. I'm putting Your Majesty's wife down. You'd better catch her." The monkey with the long back shouted down to the crowd.

"it is good!"

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty's Wife?" Although the Tongbei Monkeys had already recognized Ye Lou as their king, it still sounded a bit strange. When Mu Wanrou heard "Your Majesty's Wife," she lowered her head shyly.

"Your Majesty, catch her!" Before the two could recover from their embarrassment, the Tongbei Monkey had already put Mu Wanrou down. A scream echoed through the air, and Ye Lou spun around in place before reaching out and firmly embracing her.

The distance between the two was extremely awkward, so close that they could smell each other's breath. Although Ye Lou had had close contact with Mu Wanrou many times, he still felt a little nervous every time he hugged her.

Ye Lou swallowed hard, and you could see his Adam's apple bobbing.

Mu Wanrou became even more shy and didn't dare to look Ye Lou in the eye. She turned her head away and pretended to be calm, but her face was as red as if she had applied blush.

"Why did you jump down too? Do you know how dangerous that is?" Although Ye Lou was pleased, he still spoke with a reproachful tone.

Mu Wanrou pouted. "You still owe me a life. If I don't allow you to die, you can't die either."

Ye Lou couldn't help but smile wryly, recalling the time he stumbled upon her bathing at the Brahma Sound Pavilion. It seemed he had promised her something like that. If she hadn't brought it up, Ye Lou really wouldn't have remembered. He didn't expect this little girl to remember it so clearly.

"Ye Lou, I need you to promise me now that no matter how much you want to improve your strength or take revenge, you must act within your means and not be impulsive like this time." Mu Wanrou looked at Ye Lou with a resentful expression.

A warm feeling welled up inside Ye Lou, and he smiled gently. "I promise you!"

It seems that his actions today were a bit excessive. The main reason was that he had tasted the benefits of Earth Guide and Dark Ancient Dew, and coupled with his urgent desire to improve his strength, he was so eager for unknown treasures.

That's why he overlooked Mu Wanrou's concern for him. With such a beautiful woman by his side, he really shouldn't have been so reckless.

At that moment, some loose rocks rolled down from above. The monkey on the cliff was seen walking on flat ground, jumping and leaping on the uneven parts of the cliff, easily climbing down. When it came to the two people's side, it saw their intimate actions.

"My king and queen, can you please stop showing off your love? Even I, a monkey, can't stand it."

puff!

The two exchanged a smile, looking at the macaque jumping down with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. When they first met it, it seemed like a serious monkey, but after getting to know it better, they realized that it was anything but serious.
