Zhou Qing looked at the rolling black fog in the giant passage and said with a hint of envy, "This black evil fog is also a good material for practicing poisonous treasure-making. This time I must take the lead!" Taking advantage of Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin's collection of Hei Yin Xuan Bing, Zhou Qing took out an ordinary jade bottle from his bosom, added several talismans to it, pinched the suction finger technique, and aimed at the rolling black fog below. A small, finger-thick black line shot out and was absorbed into the jade bottle. Zhou Qing continuously changed his hand techniques, operated his true yuan, and compressed the black fog that had been sucked into the bottle. The jade bottle became heavier and heavier, from a few taels to several tens of kilograms. Finally, the jade bottle could not withstand the weight and made a cracking sound. Zhou Qing immediately stopped absorbing the black fog, put away the jade bottle, and looked down to see that the rolling black fog in the passage had not decreased at all, which was unexpected!
Zhou Qing shook his head repeatedly, "Damn it! The treasure is right in front of us, but we can't take it away!" There's nothing more frustrating than this! It's just like a poor man who suddenly breaks into a treasure trove, only to find that the treasure inside is a mountain of gold, but he can't carry it away!
This time, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin didn't bother with him, each displaying their divine powers. Wen Lan Xin's Wan Mo banner shook violently, releasing a massive suction force that poured into the swirling black fog in the passage. Whoosh! A thick, substantial black fog as wide as a water bucket was completely absorbed by the Wan Mo banner. The long banner instantly became shrouded in dark energy, and a gigantic devil head with two horns and a ferocious face began to appear like a ghostly shadow. As the black evil fog continuously flowed into the banner, the devil's appearance grew clearer and clearer, until it was about to leap out of the banner, roaring incessantly as if trying to break free from the banner's restraints!
"Haha! The death aura here is actually ten times thicker than the one on my Nether Island, perfect for me to train these 3,000 nascent souls!" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang saw Wen Lan Xin borrow the black evil energy to condense into a demon god form and was envious. This demon god form, an externalized body, had a similar effect as the second yuan god, although it couldn't cast its own magic like the second yuan god, but when facing enemies, releasing it would be a great help. Plus, this demon god form was condensed from yin souls, not a physical entity, so ordinary flying swords and treasure couldn't harm it. Especially since Wen Lan Xin had gathered over a thousand vengeful spirits, combining with the ferocious black evil energy to increase its power. It could compare to three layers of cultivation above his original body! Suddenly, his strength had greatly increased, how could Xuan Yuan Fa Wang not be envious?
A huge bloody hand emerged from behind, directly stabbing into the black fog that had decreased a lot but was still rolling and tumbling. Countless human head silhouettes emerged from the bloody hand, greedily inhaling the liquid-like fog. Every time they inhaled some of it, the bloody hand would swell up a bit more, and the emerging human head silhouettes became clearer. In an instant, the huge bloody hand filled the entire passageway, and the black fog inside was sucked dry by the two people. Xuan Yuan Fa Wang burst into loud laughter, extremely satisfied. It was clear that his treasure's power had greatly increased. Zhou Qing saw that both of them had gained a lot of benefits, but he himself hadn't gotten anything, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched. However, there was nothing he could do about it - after all, he didn't have a suitable collecting material treasure.
Three people rushed to the front of the passageway, only to see a staircase made of huge bluestones leading down to the depths of the earth. Although it was going down, the terrain was surprisingly flat and wide, with a spacious corridor that could accommodate dozens of people walking side by side. The corridor was several meters high, and people walking on it felt like they were walking in a vast and empty hall, without feeling like they were underground at all.
"Wow! Isn't this just sealing off vengeful spirits? How did they manage to create something so grand? Even in modern times, it would be unrealistic to build such a large corridor in the mountains. Could it be that Xu Fu's magical powers carved it out?" Zhou Qing and the others walked along the corridor for dozens of meters, but still couldn't see the end of the bluestone staircase, and they were all filled with doubt.
"It's strange," said Zhou Qing, "we haven't encountered a single vengeful spirit or ghost on our way here. Could it be that this isn't the place where they're sealed? Maybe the rumors are false?" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang, who had seen and heard much, was not to be outdone by Zhou Qing when it came to ancient secrets.
"This path is called the Sima Dao," he said. "It's three hundred meters deep, but it's not for sealing off vengeful spirits. Xu Fu laid down many magical seals on this path to prevent vengeful spirits from escaping and being sealed away. Unfortunately, even with his incredible abilities, he couldn't withstand the passage of time, and the magical powers attached to the symbols on the Sima Dao have all dissipated now. Look!" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang pointed to the top of the corridor, dozens of meters high, and Zhou Qing and Wen Lanxin carefully examined it, only to find that the stone at the top of the corridor was indeed carved with many small, dense symbols.
"This old monster knows a lot! We have to be careful not to get taken advantage of!" If Xuan Yuan Fa Wang knew what Zhou Qing was thinking, he would certainly curse loudly: "I'm explaining things to you out of kindness, and yet you're suspicious of me!"
Just as the three were talking, a sudden roar came from under the corridor, the roar seemed to come from a very far place, but the speed was simply astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the huge sound wave shook the entire Sima Road buzzing. Kill! Kill! A figure wrapped in black fog suddenly appeared in front of the three, and with a flash, a cold light radiated, a chilling aura, a bronze long spear, hacked down on Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's head. The endless killing intent, violent energy pierced through space, directly attached to the bronze long spear, forming a strange atmosphere that locked the three people tightly. Although the bronze long spear was hacking down at Xuan Yuan Fa Wang, it surprisingly transformed into three virtual shadows in mid-air, including Zhou Qing and Wen Lanxin.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three loud explosions, the bronze long spear came too fast, even Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin couldn't dodge in time, they had to use their true yuan to force a blow. Zhou Qing was protected by his Extreme Light Shield, but he still took a hit from the long spear, the massive force shook him violently, causing his blood to churn and his eyes to roll back! The figure didn't fare any better, taking the counterattack of two great masters, it was actually shattered into powder, with sparks floating in the air, quickly reassembling into a human shape. But this time, it was an ancient headless soldier wearing armor, holding a bronze long spear that wasn't physical, but a soul condensed into a weapon!
"Good fellow, this is a vengeful spirit of a soldier who has broken free from his seal, how fierce!" Xuan Yuan Fa Wang shouted loudly, his eyes gleaming with light. Such a ferocious ghost was truly worth more than ten thousand ordinary spirits. With a wave of his hand, the giant blood palm flew towards the headless soldier, wanting to capture him alive! Wen Lan Xin was even faster, and the Wan Mo Fan flew out of his hand, arriving in front of Xuan Yuan Fa Wang. The magic god on the long fan suddenly expanded tenfold, its bloody mouth open wide, biting towards the headless soldier. The two men saw how ferocious and overbearing this vengeful spirit was, where was there any room for yielding to each other?
Kill! The headless soldier's chest cavity emitted a huge roar! The bronze long spear condensed from the dark soul in his hand swept upwards, and the massive violent energy actually formed a force field, pinning Blood Hand and Demon God to the top of their heads. However, Xuan Yuan Fa Wang and Wen Lan Xin struck simultaneously, with what kind of enormous power, fearing that even a small mountain would be blasted down. The headless soldier roared continuously, but was still slowly pressed down by two things like a death talisman!
