"No wonder it is said that there is also the power of heaven in the abyss of the earth. It is said to be the abyss here, but it feels more like a layer of the world, a special 'small world'."

Chen Mu felt the changes in the abyss carefully and couldn't help but look thoughtful.

At first, he heard many descriptions of the Earth Abyss. For example, the Earth Abyss was not isolated from the Qiantian, but also contained the power of the Qiantian. At that time, he also felt very strange, because it was clear that there was almost communication in the ground a hundred feet deep. If we can't reach the sky, why can we reach the abyss thousands of feet deep and still have the power to dry the sky?

Now in his perception, this earth abyss is not like the structure of the underground at all, but like another world. The eight phases of heaven and earth are also in circulation here. Wind, thunder, water and fire all exist, as does the sky, but not as good as Kun. The strength of the earth.

and.

In addition to the power of the Eight Phases of the Universe, there are also other mixed and mottled auras.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his gaze to somewhere about a hundred feet away. Then his figure flashed past and appeared there. He saw that there was a sunken pit with some signs of damage inside. There was a hint of black energy dissipating.

He is now very familiar with this black energy.

Demonic energy!

The demonic energy that is almost impossible to find on the ground still exists in this abyss.

Judging from the broken traces, it should be a demon or something that was killed by a certain master with one palm, leaving a few traces.

"This abyss is indeed full of crises..."

Chen Mu took a look at the traces. Although the slain demon was not of a high level and was killed by a certain master with one blow, if it was a person in the Six Fu realm who was oppressed by the abyss, it would be difficult to deal with it. Easy.

It's no wonder that Murong Yan, who is on the list of heroes, did not order to explore the abyss this time. Although her strength is barely adequate, she is not a master and has not practiced martial arts. After all, there are many dangers here, let alone her. Those who cultivate are still practicing the Qiantian lineage rather than the Kundi lineage, otherwise they might be willing to take some risks to explore.

After carefully observing some residual marks,

Chen Mu didn't stop for much, and walked away in a flash.

And almost when Chen Mu's figure disappeared into the pitch-black abyss, a wisp of ripples quietly rippled out in the dark shadow behind, and then disappeared without a trace like water ripples.

…

In the silent abyss of the earth, it is not that light cannot be seen.

There is a dark light in the entire earth abyss, which is dim and deep in color. It is the light of the flowing earth veins. Although it is far less bright than the above world, for the Grandmaster, it is still easy to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

In the quiet night like dusk, Chen Mu's figure was like a wisp of black mist, extending silently in the darkness.

With his current strength, even though he is not afraid of the ninth-level heavenly demons, he still acts cautiously in a strange abyss that he has never explored before, using the Emperor's Qi Condensing Technique to restrain his energy and hide his body shape. , carefully exploring the surrounding area.

The masters of various sects entered the Abyss with the Cangshuang Mountains as the center, and then they must spread out to explore in all directions. Chen Mu did not care about the masters of other sects, and he was not in a hurry to travel far at the moment. The environment of the Abyss was not suitable for him. For him, it was a change in the world that he had never experienced before. Just by slowly exploring here, his understanding of the universe was constantly improving.

Although in his current situation, it is impossible to reach the third step of artistic conception without entering the blood exchange realm, but before entering the blood exchange realm, it is not a disadvantage to accumulate more insights, and there are also intuitive gains in experience points on the system panel.

in this way.

After traveling for more than a hundred miles along an unknown path, Chen Mu finally met the first living creature in the abyss.

This is a small 'coyote', only about one foot in size, with a withered yellow color all over its body. If it were on the ground, it would only be a second- or third-level monster, but in this abyss, something seems to have changed. The breath is fierce.

"Ouch..."

This coyote was walking on the wasteland vigilantly. Suddenly, as if it noticed something, a fierce and fierce light flashed in a pair of demon eyes. It suddenly jumped up, pounced towards the right, and opened its mouth to bite. .

That was where Chen Mu was standing, so he wasn't surprised to see the coyote pounce. After all, he was close enough, and he didn't deliberately suppress all his aura.

boom.

Facing the coyote's pounce, Chen Mu only raised his right hand and flicked the huge wolf on the head.

Accompanied by a sound like a drum, the coyote flew back at a faster speed. Without even making a whimpering sound, it rolled its eyes and hit the loess with a bang.

"interesting."

Chen Mu looked thoughtful and walked to the body of the coyote.

The invisible energy he pointed just now had broken through the coyote's head and crushed its skull. However, the force of his finger was resisted by its hard skull and did not directly shatter.

This was not something he did deliberately to restrain the power of one finger, but just a very ordinary flick of the finger. Unexpectedly, this coyote's body was a little stronger than he expected.

"It's only about the sixth level, but the strength of the demon body is close to that of the seventh-level demon king."

Chen Mu looked at the body of the coyote, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't feel surprised.

The environment in this abyss is special, and strong oppression pervades all directions. Whether it is a monster or a monster that survives here, its body must be far stronger than on the ground.

but.

Just when Chen Mu was squatting next to the coyote corpse to study, suddenly the black shadow in the distance changed, and a slender demonic shadow quietly approached Chen Mu's back in the darkness, and its sharp claws like shadows were raised silently. He tore into Chen Mu's back!

"snort."

Chen Mu snorted coldly, with no change in his expression. He turned around and swept away with his sleeve. A surging power of the universe burst out and collided heavily with the black shadow that attacked his back.

The power of the universe waved by the sleeves of the robe was surging. When they collided with each other, the black shadow was obviously outmatched. The dark claws suddenly retracted, and the whole body flexed and was about to retreat far away.

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked.

But he saw that the thing that attacked him was even weirder. It seemed to be extremely small, like a dark cat, but the sharp claws it raised before were unnaturally huge, as if they were spreading out from the shadows.

And the most important thing is that the aura on his body is completely different from that of the demon wolf, accompanied by an extremely profound ferocious malice. If the coyote attacks him, it may be because he is threatened, or it may be for prey, then this dark beast Just for the sake of killing, unabashed violence.

Ancient Demon!

The ancient demon race is almost extinct in the above world!

Moreover, this ancient demon has reached the seventh level, and its strength is not inferior to those of the seventh level demon kings. Otherwise, it would not have been able to just be knocked over in the air after enduring the power of his sleeve just now. Individual.

"Want to leave?"

When Chen Mu saw this ancient demon trying to escape, he immediately snorted coldly and had no intention of letting it go.

In fact, even in the Abyss, seventh-level ancient demons are by no means everywhere. This ancient demon must have been alarmed by the movement of a large number of masters entering the Abyss. Perhaps seeing the crowd, it quietly He stayed hidden and remained calm until he saw Chen Mu who was 'alone', then he followed secretly from behind and took action suddenly.

The real ancient demon is different from the kind of monster that is corroded by demonic energy. It exists in an extremely weird state. It can be said to have a body, but it can also be said that it does not have it. It is more like a condensed substance of demonic energy. The product, and unlike that kind of crazy 'demon', the ancient demon is more insidious, cunning, violent and cruel.

This end is obviously it.

After failing to attack Chen Mu, he noticed the difference in strength and immediately tried to escape.

"Stay."

However, Chen Mu didn't give him a chance. He caught up with him in one step and chased him with a fist seal in the air. It was so powerful and powerful that it mobilized the power of the nearby heaven and earth and condensed it into a heaven and earth wheel seal.

The ancient demon noticed the power of this blow, and emitted a harsh roar from its pitch-black body, which seemed to be the condensed screams of countless creatures. It made people feel extremely uncomfortable all of a sudden, and at the same time, the surging demonic energy surged and converged into a Remember the magic mark.

boom! !

The magic seal collided with the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, and an explosion broke out. However, with the violent collision, the Demon Seal was obviously defeated, and it disintegrated layer by layer, turning into dark demonic energy, and was crushed inch by inch by the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal.

Seeing that it was unable to resist Chen Mu's moves, the ancient demon roared again, its whole body expanded violently, and its violent and crazy aura suddenly rose, as if it was trying to fight Chen Mu with all its strength.

But the next moment.

boom.

The huge and swollen body suddenly tore like black cloth, splashed out, and turned into seven or eight fragmented black masses, flying in all directions and escaping in different directions!

"Is this the so-called disintegration of the demons, their gathering and dispersing?"

However, when Chen Mu looked at this scene, he did not show any surprise. Although it was his first time to fight against a real ancient demon, he had already seen some of the methods of the ancient demon from many ancient books, and also from Feng Hongsheng and other masters have learned some of it, and they also know a lot about the methods of the ancient demon.

The disintegration and unpredictable gathering and dispersion of the heavenly demon is one of the methods of the ancient demon. Its body can be materialized and challenge the powerful demon king, but it can also become virtual, fall apart all at once, and then reorganize again after being separated, which does not affect its survival.

"Destroy."

Chen Mu didn't say much nonsense. He made a fist and pressed down weakly.

But he saw that the turbulent heaven and earth wheel seals that condensed into a ball of light suddenly dispersed as he moved, and suddenly turned into eight wheel seals of different shapes and colors, chasing towards a broken black shadow. .

boom!

The wind wheel caught up with a piece and split it into countless fragments. There was a faint scream from the fragments.

Snap!

The thunder wheel caught up with a piece and crushed it completely with one blow, turning it into a plume of black smoke without even a scream.

Fire wheel, water wheel, heaven wheel...

The decomposed heaven and earth wheel seals each attacked a group of black shadows. After catching up, they exploded with power and killed them piece by piece. The screams were endless, until the last piece also fell apart, and the surrounding area finally became calm.

At the same time, Chen Mu himself pursued the largest piece of it. At this time, he had completely suppressed it. He used Yuangang's inner strength to control it, causing it to fall into his palm and turn into a piece of black that seemed virtual and real. The mist was constantly changing in the palm of my hand, and from time to time human faces appeared, roaring violently and ferociously at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu ignored the ancient demon's changes and just stared straight at the black mist.

Unexpected.

In his sight, the black mist changed again, and actually showed a face that he was very familiar with. It was Xu Hongyu, who seemed to be crying, looking at him sadly, as if he didn't understand why he was so cruel. .

But as Chen Mu regained consciousness, that illusion immediately disappeared without a trace, and what appeared before his eyes were still those ferocious and vicious faces of black mist.

"The gathering and dispersing are impermanent, and the demons have no appearance..."

Chen Mu looked at the remnant body of the ancient demon in his palm that could not escape no matter how hard it struggled, but his eyes showed a very interested look.

Gathering and dispersing are impermanent.

In fact, he has also understood this realm. It is like the heaven and earth itself. Water, fire, wind and thunder can be transformed into the power of heaven and earth, and can also be manifested in reality. Including his daily escape from the earth, he uses the impermanence of gathering and dispersion.

But this kind of impermanence is limited to the simplest basic structure between heaven and earth. He cannot let his body take on the form of impermanence. He completely ignores blunt attacks and methods, even if he has mastered the Qiankun Martial Body. Can't do it either.

But the ancient demon can.

Their bodies can not only turn into substance, which is as tough as steel and carry extremely high strength, but they can also disintegrate into reality, split and disintegrate at will, and even take on different appearances.

Of course, the ancient demon he suppressed was only at the seventh level and could not reach the level of a heavenly demon. It was rumored that when it reached the level of a heavenly demon, it could truly be formless, shapeless, unpredictable, and strange.

even so.

This ancient demon still has the ability to confuse people's hearts and can slightly affect his vision. If his state of mind had not reached the end of Mingjing Shisui, it would not be so easy to see its true nature.

The most important thing is that in Chen Mu's current close-up experience, he can realize the essence of the ancient demon's existence. It seems that it is not part of the eight phases of the universe and is not composed of any one. It is also the only one he has seen now. This thing is independent of heaven and earth, and completely contrary to the whole world.

It was not that he had not been exposed to demonic energy earlier, even more than once, but at that time, his understanding of the nature of heaven and earth was far less than it is now. But now, he has even experienced the brief "unity of heaven and man", and his understanding of heaven and earth has pointed to the essence. , only after capturing an ancient demon can you feel its real difference.

"It is not a part of heaven and earth. Its essence is more like a group of souls gathered by negative things such as filth and violence. It is blended with a part of the power of heaven and earth to form the current structural state..."

Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

If the essence of the ancient demon is not part of this world, then where did it come from in the first place? Did it come from outside this world?
