Ascension Through Generations

Zhao Sheng hurriedly caught up and glanced at the ground. Five or six fresh finger bones were scattered on the ground, and the skin and flesh on the bones were eaten clean.

However, the surface of the finger bones still had a bright luster, and it was obvious that they had fallen off not long ago.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng's spirits were lifted: "It's not too late! I'll catch up quickly."

"There's no rush, let's build up our strength first, and then we can catch up to the people in front of us with all our strength!" Sha Jiutong waved his hand and said.

Tear!

ah--

Baohua Sanren screamed fiercely and twitched all over.

Sha Jiutong handed an arm to Zhao Sheng and said with a smile: "Fresh meat, do you want a bite?"

"No, fellow Daoist Sha, please enjoy it by yourself!" Zhao Sheng took two steps back and declined with a calm expression.

Sha Jiutong didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Gong Sanchang and Black Monk chased after him. When they saw such a terrifying scene, their expressions changed slightly. They subconsciously distanced themselves from Sha Jiutong and leaned towards Zhao Sheng.

Sha Jiutong noticed this, smiled nonchalantly, and suddenly slapped the wailing Baohua Sanren unconscious, then sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.

After about a cup of tea, Sha Jiutong suddenly stood up and woke up Zhao Sheng and the others.

Soon, the four of them galloped forward.

…

During the pursuit, Zhao Sheng looked around and suddenly discovered that the corridor was rapidly "growing" visible to the naked eye.

At first, the width of the corridor was only one hundred feet, and its height did not exceed two hundred feet.

But as time went by, the width and height continued to increase, and soon doubled. And this growth trend is becoming more and more obvious.

Sha Jiutong and others also discovered the abnormal changes in the corridor, but now that they have caught up here, they cannot stop.

Along the way, everyone discovered more and more fresh bones. They seemed to have become some kind of marks, pointing out the location of their predecessors.

More than twenty hours passed by in an instant.

Zhao Sheng and others ran more than 3,000 miles away. At this time, the walls on both sides of the cave had become as tall as mountains, and an extremely vast square suddenly appeared under everyone's feet.

The corridor has changed so much, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that the ground is full of bones.

Click, click, click, click...

Stepping on the ground of bones, Zhao Sheng fell more than ten feet behind Sha Jiutong, rushing forward with ashes flying behind him.

"Huh?"

Zhao Sheng suddenly let out a soft cry and waved his sleeves to create an invisible undercurrent, sweeping away the pile of bones in front of him.

As large pieces of bone debris rose into the air, a slightly dim crystal joint was revealed on the ground.

Rather than saying what kind of skeleton this is, it is better to say that it is a tail vertebrae. Countless tiny bone spurs protrude from the surface of the bones, emitting a faint blue light that is so eye-catching in this pale land of bones.

It's just a pity that it has been dormant here for countless years, and the essence inside has passed away, leaving only the tough texture.

"As expected, there must be a being above Returning to the Void who fell here."

Zhao Sheng thought like this, stretched out his hand to pick up the crystallized bone, and seemingly put it into his arms, but actually placed it in the Sumeru space.

During the subsequent pursuit, he always paid attention to his surroundings, trying to find more powerful crystal bones.

It's a pity that there are very few powerful crystal bones here, and even after running hundreds of miles, I didn't find another one.

Not long after, Sha Jiutong at the front suddenly laughed crazily and shouted: "Jie Jie, look, there is someone in front!"

Zhao Sheng raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a small black shadow slowly appearing at the end of the earth. If you look carefully, you can see that it is a half-crouching figure.

At this moment, the speed of Sha Jiutong suddenly doubled, and instantly it was like a black light, rushing away.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng and the other three also accelerated and ran away.

But by the time they arrived on the scene, the fighting was over.

"Jie Jie, this trophy belongs to the Sa family. None of you are desperate to snatch it away." Sha Jiutong stepped on the man's back and warned Zhao Sheng and the others with fierce eyes.

"You don't have to be like this, fellow Taoist Sha. This person belongs to you, but there are some things you need to ask this person clearly." After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he looked at this person.

This man had a thick frame, but had lost weight a long time ago. He looked like a skeleton. If his chest wasn't still heaving, Zhao Sheng would have thought he had starved to death.

Near this person, a half-eaten skinny corpse was thrown on the ground like garbage.

After Zhao Sheng was silent for a moment, he walked to the skin and bones in a few steps, grabbed the corpse's sternum and picked it up, then threw it three steps away from the man.

Seeing the body close in front of him, the man's eyes instantly turned red, and he howled wildly. His hands struggled hard, trying to catch the body.

"My. I'm hungry. I'm hungry!"

This person was obviously so hungry that he was delirious, and there was probably only one word left in his mind: eat.

Zhao Sheng twisted half of his thigh and brought it to the man's mouth. While tempting him, he asked a few simple questions.

Like who are you? How long have you been here? Why eat people? Have you encountered any strange things before?

In order to get a bite of food, this man miraculously regained his consciousness and immediately answered all the questions without any hesitation, without any concealment.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng changed his tactics and asked him the same question three times.

When no new information could be squeezed out, Sha Jiutong Jiejie smiled and spat out the force from his feet, shattering the man's internal organs and killing him with one blow.

Zhao Sheng sighed softly and glanced at the others, noticing that Gong Sanchangy's eyes were panicked and his expression was extremely ugly.

"I knew there was something wrong here! It's only been less than two months since we came in. But the dead man said they had been there for almost five months. The time difference between the two times is three months. It doesn't add up at all!" Gong Sanchang Suddenly he shouted hysterically.

"Friend Sha, Master Hei! If my guess is right, the problem should be the speed of time. Do you still remember how long it took for me and the people in front of me to enter the corridor one after another?"

"Well, I remember it was about three quarters of an hour."

"Hehe! Three quarters of an hour is equivalent to 'three months' here. So, from the time we came in, only two quarters of an hour has passed in the outside world. Is it really that short?"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said with a wry smile: "Based on the information currently known, this is indeed the case!"

"Infinite Immortal Buddha! Could this be the power that a true immortal can possess? It's really unimaginable!" The black monk put his palms together, with a rare hint of horror on his face.

"Jie Jie! Regardless of whether it is the means of a true immortal or not, we are all pawns crossing the river now. We can only advance or retreat. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Sha Jiutong bent down and grabbed the two corpses on the ground, put them on his shoulders together with the half-dead Bao Hua San people, and then strode towards the depths of the skeleton land.

At this moment, the huge cave walls on both sides have become extremely distant, like two giant peaks standing on the horizon, majestic and steep.

…

Before I knew it, another two months had passed.

"Well, is there a new powerful jade bone?"

Zhao Sheng felt a little excited when he saw a few shining bones scattered in a pile of bones in front of him.

boom!

Wow——

Zhao Sheng jumped in front of the pile of bones, kicked the pile of bones with both feet, stretched out his hand, and several pieces of crystal bones flew up and fell into the big sleeves in an instant.

At this moment, a half-cut blade in the shape of a sword fell into his eyes.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to pick up the broken blade and put it in front of his eyes for a brief look.

"Ten thousand years of black iron! It's a pity that all the inner spirituality has been lost, and all the treasures have been dissipated. Otherwise, if there is a trace of spirituality left, its value will be more than 100,000 spiritual stones."

Zhao Sheng felt a little sorry, threw it back to the ground, and then flew away.

Click, click, click...

Zhao Sheng and Black Monk were very close to each other. As they walked forward, they kept a distance from Sha Jiutong at all times.

Just three days ago, Sha Jiutong, who had eaten all three corpses, suddenly attacked Gong Sanchang and quickly turned them into new food.

Zhao Sheng did not regret the food that was given out at all, but realized that Sha Jiutong was too deeply possessed and could no longer turn back.

After months of exploration and summary, Zhao Sheng discovered that the restrictions in the corridor can not only change time and space, but also continuously absorb the vitality of the human body.

It actually hides a more insidious "killing move".

The environment here can actually continuously amplify human inner desires without even realizing it.

For example, the most obvious "appetite".

Hunger makes people lose their minds. If people are extremely hungry, they will naturally eat people.

Once you start eating people, the special environment here will amplify your desire to eat people countless times, and eventually you will be unable to extricate yourself.

Zhao Sheng vaguely guessed that if there was no one to eat, the ogre would probably eat himself up.

Um? !

While walking on numerous bones, Zhao Sheng suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with astonishment.

At this moment, sparse "dust" slowly fell from the sky.

The dust is like bone powder after burning bones, and it also seems like an unknown ashes, gray and white.

After falling to the ground, a thin layer of gray was spread on the numerous white bones.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his right hand to catch a little "ash" falling from the sky.

But before he could take a closer look, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the ashes all over the sky disappeared out of thin air.

"Master, have you seen it?" Zhao Sheng pointed to the sky and asked solemnly.

"Immeasurable Immortal Buddha! I am blind, I wonder what Baimei Tanyue saw?" the black monk sang and asked.

"Nothing! Maybe I saw it wrong."

Although he said this, Zhao Sheng did not think that he was wrong.

He held his breath, concentrated his attention to a point, and looked around again.

In an instant, ashes all over the sky appeared out of thin air again!

Looking at the "ashes" falling on his shoulders, Zhao Sheng shook his shoulders subconsciously, trying to shake them off.

What's wrong is that the ashes are already clinging to his shoulders, motionless.

At this time, the ashes had already fallen on his arms and robes. Zhao Sheng was secretly shaking, but he was unable to shake the ashes down.

They seem to be in different time and space, and cannot be touched by ordinary means.

Seeing this situation, his mind was turned with lightning, and the brilliance of his will instantly surged onto his body. In an instant, it was like lightning that swept away the ashes that had fallen all over his body.

Zhao Sheng felt relieved when he saw this, and the radiance of his will turned into a "light film" covering his whole body, completely separating the physical body from the ashes.

…

Danglang~

A long rusty knife was thrown back to the ground casually.

"Tan Yue, I have collected three more jade bones. Here they are for you!"

Zhao Sheng shook off the rust, reached out and took the powerful bone from the black monk, and then put it into the Sumeru space in front of him without any hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, a thousand-year spiritual ginseng appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Over the past few months, as he has been taking out a steady stream of various foods, the secret of Xumi Space can no longer be kept secret.

Since I can’t hide it, I won’t hide it anymore!

Zhao Sheng pretended that this was his natural talent, but Monk Hei and the other two believed it so easily.

Later, he learned from Monk Hei that all the people selected by the Immortal Burial Ruins had special talents such as time and space.

For example, Black Monk's talent is "Eternal Spring Body", which is manifested in that the body's metabolic rate is many times slower than that of ordinary people. The essence of this talent is that the flow of time "slows down" in a specific individual.

Zhao Sheng handed the Millennium Spiritual Ginseng to the Black Monk and glanced at him at the same time.

At this time, the black monk's body was covered with a thick layer of ashes, but the man was completely unaware of it.

Zhao Sheng sighed secretly and looked ahead, only to see that the earth was covered in pale ashes.

On top of the ashes, clusters of hairy, twisted and swaying "mycelium" suddenly grew.

The "mycelium" is a continuous piece, like a blanket of bacteria that can't be seen to the edge.

Looking into the air, countless weird "mushrooms" were floating everywhere in the air.

These "mushrooms" reach to the end of the sky and go down to the ground. They are everywhere. The huge ones are like floating islands, and the small ones are like dust.

The surface of the fleshy umbrella body has a large mouth with fangs, and hundreds of fleshy tentacles protrude from the bottom. The tentacles seem to follow some mysterious rules, constantly twisting and swaying, and twitching from time to time.

Of course, such horrifying scenes cannot be seen under normal conditions. Only by focusing the eyes with the radiance of will can one get a glimpse of the true appearance.

Suddenly, a sticky and moist feeling quietly crossed his neck.

It was like a living octopus tentacle slowly grazing the skin, and it felt a little creepy.

Zhao Sheng was secretly shocked, and the light of his will suddenly disappeared.

In an instant, the sticky and wet feeling disappeared out of thin air.

As the field of vision returned to normal, the sky was filled with ashes, and the carpet and tentacle mushrooms were all gone, leaving only the earth covered with bones.

Half a day later, Sha Jiutong suddenly looked up to the sky and roared with a crazy look on his face: "Hoo... there is food!"

Before he finished speaking, a pile of bones more than ten feet high a few miles ahead suddenly fell apart.

An astonishingly fast white shadow jumped out from below and headed straight for the three of them.

Sha Jiutong Jiejie smiled and suddenly turned into a black shadow and crashed into it fiercely.

Boom, boom...

Two streams of light, one black and one white, started fighting crazily on the land of bones. A large number of bones were crushed into ashes for a while, and the ashes quickly filled the sky within a few miles.

Zhao Sheng was shocked to see a living unknown creature here for the first time in several months.

"Roar!"

"Jie Jie!"

Sha Jiutong and the opponent fought from the sky to the ground. The two sides were fighting inextricably, and they couldn't tell the difference for a while.

"Huh~! Who can survive to this day?"

Zhao Sheng was full of surprise, his eyesight was raised to the extreme, and he could see clearly that the enemy was very skinny, his entire left arm was missing, and his muscles had long since degenerated into a thin skin, tightly sticking to the surface of the bones.

However, one can still clearly see that the entire body of the opponent's bones are as crystal clear as jade. This person is actually a powerful person who is capable of returning to the void.

However, it seems that because he has been sleeping for too long, this person's strength has declined to the extreme, and he has completely lost his mind, and he is biting the evil spirit Jiutong desperately.
