Chapter 370: The Third God!

The sound of the opera singing swirled faintly amidst the paper money floating and scattering one by one.

The voice was sorrowful and secluded, and this place was bizarre.

This place was more like some kind of ritual that had been going on for who knows how long.

In Xu Qing's eyes, that pentagonal wooden house seemed to be an alternative altar.

Because at the five corners of the wooden house, where they connected to the iron chains, there existed three terrifying corpses.

The first corpse was a body that was soaking wet all over, rotting extremely severely; its appearance could not be seen clearly, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.

It knelt facing the wooden house, draped in a tattered black robe, as if it had experienced countless years and was riddled with holes.

But the corpse water that kept dripping seemed to be some kind of unimaginable force that had preserved the scene of its death in the time of the past.

Even though time had flowed until now, it remained the same.

It was a Drowned Corpse.

The second corpse was also draped in a tattered black robe, also kneeling facing the wooden house, its hands at the position of its stomach, in an open state.

Revealing its abdominal cavity.

There were no internal organs inside; clearly, they had all been hollowed out, and vaguely, there seemed to be one more object, but it could not be seen clearly.

It seemed that the pain before death forced it to lower its head and bend its waist, as if it were worshipping.

It was a Dissected Corpse.

The third corpse was slightly different from the first two; a red vine was wrapped around its neck, and those vines were covered in sharp thorns, piercing deeply into its neck.

The vine wrapped tightly around its neck, while the two ends of the vine were grasped by the corpse's hands; it seemed that it was pulling with all its might before death, causing the strangulation marks on its neck to be extremely heavy, strangling itself to death.

This was a Strangled Corpse.

Three corpses, each one exuding bizarreness, so Xu Qing felt that this place was more like a ritual.

In addition, at the fourth corner of the five corners, although there was no corpse there, there was a tombstone without words.

Where there is a tombstone, there should be a grave.

Although there was none here, the intent of burial was very obvious.

Xu Qing suddenly looked at the second Dissected Corpse, focusing his gaze to check.

Finally, in the stomach of that Dissected Corpse, he saw some soil, saw a tiny grave, and in that grave existed an infant corpse that had not been completely buried.

This, perhaps, was the fourth corpse.

Xu Qing looked at all of this, noticing that at the last corner of the pentagonal wooden house, there were some traces of burning, as if a corpse had also sat there once.

Xu Qing thought of the previous Burning Corpse.

"Gold is Dissected, Wood is Strangled, Water is Drowned, Fire is Burning, Earth is Buried."

Xu Qing did not know what kind of ritual this was, but he knew very well that this wooden house and those four corpses were extremely terrifying.

Because he felt a strong sense of oppression, and what made his hair stand on end even more was the aura and foreign matter emanating from beneath the wooden house and deeper in the deep pit while the opera singing echoed.

This aura made Xu Qing's mind tremble; the last time he had this feeling was the Red Moon's breathing.

Xu Qing knew that in that dark place below, there must be an unimaginable existence.

He understood even more that Taisi Daozi must also know these things, because here, he also saw Taisi Daozi.

The opponent was currently on the mud wall hundreds of feet away, cautiously climbing downward.

As if afraid that a fast movement would disturb the woman and the corpses inside the wooden house.

And at this moment, he was less than dozens of feet away from the wooden house's iron chains.

Already, very close.

Xu Qing looked at Taisi Daozi, cold light appearing in his eyes, and his right hand raised to take out a small mirror and a black wooden block, then took out a pouch containing elixirs.

Inside the pouch were Black Pills, which could absorb foreign matter after self-detonation.

In this deep pit permeated with cold aura and foreign matter, there was no elixir more suitable for intensifying things than this.

Xu Qing raised his left hand, gently pouring this pouch downward, toward the pentagonal wooden house that Taisi Daozi Zhang Siyun was unwilling to disturb.

Hundreds of Black Pills were scattered along with the pouch, falling downward.

Taisi Daozi, who was climbing below, suddenly changed his expression, raised his head fiercely, saw Xu Qing, and also saw those elixirs.

His mind was shocked, and just as he was about to stop it, Xu Qing spoke softly.

"Explode!"

As the word was spoken, those Black Pills suddenly exploded one after another in the process of falling; the sound was not very loud, but the moment they exploded, large amounts of foreign matter rolled over from below and above respectively.

It was truly the case that the self-detonation of hundreds of Black Pills formed a huge suction.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a vortex, forming a tide, causing this place to emit a heaven-shaking whistling sound in an instant.

And the surging of foreign matter was even more intense; if foreign matter were compared to seawater, then at this moment, it was angry waves shocking the sky.

Everything below became blurry, the surroundings were twisting, the pentagonal wooden house was trembling, and the sound of the opera singing also paused.

The four corpses sitting cross-legged at the five corners of the wooden house opened their eyes in unison at this instant, revealing the madness and ferocity after being disturbed, emitting roars and howls from their mouths, looking at Zhang Siyun who was closest to them!

The heaven-shaking ferocity erupted with a bang at this moment.

Taisi Daozi's expression changed completely, and indescribable anger and horror rose in his heart.

He did not expect Xu Qing to be able to shake off the entanglement of that Burning Corpse; after all, he himself could not do it before.

But now, not only did Xu Qing shake it off, he even came specifically to set him up.

All of this made Taisi Daozi extremely shocked and angry.

At this moment, not only was his plan ruined, but he was also facing huge danger, so bloodshot eyes instantly filled his gaze, and he formed seals toward Xu Qing, about to unfold the displacement art again.

But this time, Xu Qing was prepared.

Xu Qing had experienced the opponent's displacement art once; now that he had chosen to strike, he naturally had a way to counter it.

So almost the instant Taisi Daozi Zhang Siyun struck, the small mirror Xu Qing had taken out earlier was raised abruptly.

The light shining from the mirror surface fell directly into Zhang Siyun's eyes below.

Zhang Siyun's mind shook, and under the effect of this mirror, his soul froze for an instant, and his spellcasting was interrupted.

At the same time, Xu Qing's black wooden block was also unfolded by him.

The next instant, the black wooden block transformed into the Profound Spirit Eternal Intent Gate, opening instantly toward Taisi Daozi Zhang Siyun.

After opening, a rotting heart flew out directly from within.

Once this heart appeared, Zhang Siyun's body paused, his eyes revealing confusion.

The Profound Spirit Eternal Intent Gate, which had been refined twice, could seal the life level; at this moment... Zhang Siyun's life was frozen and solidified.

His techniques simply could not continue to unfold, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qing's body retreated rapidly, rising into the sky fiercely.

But this was not enough to vent the killing intent in his heart, so while rushing upward himself, Xu Qing controlled the shadow to sink rapidly, spreading toward Zhang Siyun in an instant.

Taking advantage of the state where Zhang Siyun's life level was sealed, the shadow slapped over, and with a bang, Zhang Siyun's body was slapped toward the violent corpses by the pentagonal wooden house.

The rule of this place was not to kill, and Xu Qing naturally would not violate it; he felt that since the Sword-Holding Court had reminded them of this point many times, perhaps there would be a way to investigate.

For example, the teleportation jade slip given to them.

But borrowing a knife to kill was clearly not within the rules.

At this moment, after finishing all this, the shadow returned rapidly, Xu Qing's speed erupted, and he rushed out a thousand feet in an instant.

At this height, the scene at the bottom of the deep pit could no longer be seen, but bursts of roars and the miserable sounds of Zhang Siyun after recovering echoed beneath the deep pit.

"And his Life Lamp!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and stared downward; he was prepared to wait for the opponent to die and see if there was an opportunity to take his Life Lamp away.

But just the moment Xu Qing was pondering this, suddenly a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end and his skin crawl erupted in his mind with a roar.

His mind stirred up heaven-shaking waves, and all of this originated from beneath the deep pit, where a light appeared.

Xu Qing lowered his head and took just one look, and his mind roared violently, the world spinning.

It was as if the world was twisting at this moment, all directions were blurry, and his soul and flesh and blood seemed to be about to tear apart at this instant.

Because below, he not only saw the wooden house suspended by five chains, but even more, in the darkness of the endless deep pit beneath this wooden house, there appeared...

An eye!

A huge golden eye!

This eye was too big, the same size as this thousand-foot deep pit.

It was as if at the bottom of this deep pit, an unimaginable existence was sleeping, and the deep pit was just a hole on its eye to it.

At this moment, this existence woke up, opened its eye, and looked at this hole.

The coldness revealed in its eyes seemed to suggest that all life in its eyes were ants, and the only way to coexist with it was to transform into it from the source of life.

This was the crushing of life levels!

Just by looking at it, Xu Qing's hair, eyes, fingers, and even all his flesh and blood seemed to have independent consciousness, not belonging to him, and were about to split apart from his body at this moment.

Foreign matter concentrated to the extreme erupted on him comprehensively, and even Xu Qing's body began to alienate; indescribable intense pain and tearing appeared all over his body.

Xu Qing wanted to teleport, but at this moment, teleportation was difficult to unfold; he could only rely on his will to force himself not to separate, the purple moon in his body shining, the Poison Prohibition Pill erupting, suppressing and offsetting on one hand, while forcing himself to rush out, unfolding his full speed toward the top.

But the aura from that golden eye was too terrifying; in this struggle, Xu Qing's speed also gradually slowed down.

Seeing this, Xu Qing was about to summon the shadow to cover his body.

Just at this moment, suddenly a centipede flew out from the mud wall beside him, approaching Xu Qing in an instant.

The woman on the centipede's body grabbed Xu Qing's arm, her body flickered, and the centipede galloped rapidly toward the top of the deep pit, running wildly with Xu Qing.

Her cultivation was not as good as Xu Qing's, but under this gaze, her speed was not affected; at this moment, while galloping, she climbed out thousands of feet directly. At the same time, the sound of the opera singing in the deep pit, carrying a trembling tone, echoed again.

"The past life does not come, the afterlife is always there, cutting the lovesickness into dust..."

"Wandering in this life, buried for the rest of time, who is waiting in the cycle of reincarnation..."

The voice was sorrowful and beautiful, constantly swirling, and that huge golden eye actually slowly closed again amidst this opera singing, as if this voice had special significance to her, gradually falling into a deep sleep.

But the foreign matter in this place was already intense, the feeling of violence was also like this, and even more, large amounts of foreign ghosts appeared from the surroundings, emitting countless miserable and ferocious roars.

Xu Qing's mind shook, and he lowered his head to look downward.

Everything in this ghost cave was full of bizarreness.

That wooden house and ritual, looking at it now, seemed to be specifically arranged by someone here, for the purpose... of keeping that existence in the deep pit in a deep sleep.

And this centipede woman was also completely different from the bizarre things Xu Qing had encountered.

She actually appeared at a critical moment to save him, although this was because Xu Qing had saved her before, but Xu Qing had never seen such an act of repaying kindness in an alien species!

At this moment, he looked complexly at the centipede woman beside him; the other party did not look at him but ran at full speed until she sent Xu Qing out another thousand feet before stopping.

After nodding to Xu Qing, the centipede woman opened her mouth and spat, actually spitting out large amounts of Eastern Wanggu Pillar fragments, about one hundred seventy or eighty.

After throwing them to Xu Qing, her body flickered, and she drilled directly into the soil, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Qing was silent, looking at the deep pit that had become extremely dangerous, permeated with countless foreign ghosts, and roaring violently; the teleportation jade slip in his hand shone on its own at this moment.

The time for the assessment to end had arrived.

It did not need Xu Qing to crush it; the jade slip's own teleportation erupted abruptly.

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, did not throw away the teleportation jade slip, and let the light cover himself, beginning the teleportation.

In the last moments before teleportation, he lowered his head and took one last look at this deep pit.

"What kind of secret is contained here..."

"Who arranged that altar?"

"Is the woman inside the wooden house dead or alive?"

"Why can her opera singing make that god underground fall into a deep sleep?"

This was the third god Xu Qing had come into contact with.

The first was the Remnant Face.

The second was the Red Moon. ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
