Chapter 812: Under the Deep Swamp

Through the scene reflected in Xu Qing's mind by the little shadow, it was shockingly vast.

A thousand zhang under this silt existed a vast cave with an astonishing range; for the cave, this silt was the firmament here.

And this cave itself was like a separate world that had been completely isolated; as for the earth of this world, it was a piece of pitch-black void, where countless gray mists could be seen emitting, lingering in this world, but these were not the source of the shock.

What shocked him was that floating in this world was a huge divine shrine; the size of this divine shrine occupied one-tenth of this world, like a coffin suspended in mid-air.

Its edges were drifting with rotting, flocculent ribbons, resembling tentacles, swaying with the flow of spiritual energy; the long ones hung down without end, and even the short ones were a thousand zhang long and winding.

Its overall dark gold had no luster at all, and it emitted a feeling of decay, as if it had experienced countless years, giving people a feeling of vicissitudes.

As for the interior, it enshrined a terrifying existence; that was a strange thing with an appearance like a spider, with gold and white spots all over its body.

It had a male head, and in the center of the head's brows, a branch was nailed; although this branch was also dim, it gave Xu Qing a feeling like seeing the scorching sun, piercing through the head.

At the same time, four long spears formed by ice pierced through the spider's body, firmly solidifying it with this divine shrine.

On these four long spears, Xu Qing keenly felt the fluctuation of the moon!

It didn't end there; on the left leg of this terrifying existence, there was also a mud jar, suppressing it from above; the aura emitted was exactly the power of the stars.

This terrifying existence was clearly suppressed to death; as for that divine shrine, it was indeed like a coffin, having both the effect of storage and the power of suppression.

Looking closely, one could also see countless marks carved outside this divine shrine, each mark emitting the aura of gods.

Xu Qing's heart was filled with endless waves, but this was not all of his shock.

It could only be considered half a shock; the source came from under this divine shrine; in the void of this world, following the flow of the mist, a scene was revealed; there actually existed a bone mountain formed by ashes; although compared to the divine shrine, it was slightly inferior in size, it was not much different.

This bone mountain formed by ashes constantly emitted gray mist; clearly, it was the source of the Jiu Li gray mist!

It was hard to imagine what kind of existence could turn into such a degree of ashes after death; and around this bone mountain, there existed relatively smaller mountain bodies, or rather, they were not mountain bodies, they were skulls.

Like a dragon head, ferocious at the same time, emitting a prehistoric aura; although there was no flesh and blood, from the open mouths of these skulls, one could vaguely feel the anger and madness they had before they died!

The ancient feeling was extremely rich; the mountain body ended there, and the Jiu Li Forbidden Zone silt made Xu Qing's body tremble, unable to control spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body was also retreating.

Even though he saw this indirectly through the little shadow, for him, it was still somewhat difficult to bear; as for the little shadow, it had completely lost its fluctuation, and it was unknown whether it was dead or alive.

But Xu Qing was no longer in the mood to worry about the little shadow; his expression changed, as the speculation brought about by the images in his mind was truly too great.

That divine shrine itself was the suppression; the existence like a spider inside was clearly a god.

It had the fluctuations of the divine power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars on its body; these three simultaneously suppressed it, and it still needed external objects to assist; what was suppressed was definitely not simple.

And the bone mountain under this divine shrine!!

Xu Qing pondered; he didn't know who that was, but that skull made the two words 'Jiu Li' float in his heart.

Xu Qing was not sure because according to the information he understood, Jiu Li was nine shapes like lamps, which did not match what he saw.

But the information about this Jiu Li Forbidden Zone, Xu Qing had now personally felt, was fabricated to a certain extent, so what the truth was, he couldn't judge.

Regardless of whether it was the forbidden Jiu Li, being able to exist here, it must have some connection.

But if it was, Jiu Li as Yan Yue possessed special significance; why would there be a god suppressing it?

Clearly already dead, yet still suppressed!

Xu Qing pondered; this was clearly a chain suppression; suppressing a strange god, the strange god being suppressed by the bone mountain and those nine skulls; the causal relationship existing in this scene was difficult for Xu Qing to figure out.

Xu Qing furrowed his brows, feeling the bronze incense burner above his head.

"It's about to burn out!"

Compared to the silt, this scene ten thousand zhang below was clearly the focus of this piece of Jiu Li Forbidden Zone, especially the source of the gray mist was also known to Xu Qing.

Then for Xu Qing right now, there was no other choice; to leave Jiu Li, perhaps the source was the key; if I could take some of those ashes, or find a way to get those nine skulls out.

This idea was very crazy!

Xu Qing was silent, looking at his storage bag; actually, there was another way to make the divine fire support for some time here.

Xu Qing raised his hand and took out Red Mother flesh and threw it into the incense burner; the next instant, this incense burner shook and emitted more smoke rings, but in this environment, it also slowed down the extinguishing of the incense burner, and the side effects also existed, that was the mist all around became thicker.

"Ultimately, it's not a long-term plan; the more divine power, the more firm the causal entanglement." Xu Qing gazed at the incense burner and sighed.

Afterward, he felt the divine source power that had recovered a lot from the refining of the bronze incense burner, and finally calculated the time, and the layout here appeared in his mind.

"The bone mountain is directly under the divine shrine, not easy to move; the nine skulls on the side are a bit far." Thinking of this, Xu Qing's eyes revealed a touch of decisiveness, and even more madness.

He lowered his head and looked at the silt under his feet; without any hesitation, he directly put away the bronze incense burner that hadn't finished burning; the moment the gray mist invaded, he erupted with the divine power in his body, driving his body to fly rapidly toward the silt, completely entering the silt.

The next moment, intense pain spread through his whole body!

That was a feeling that couldn't be described; whether it was the silt itself or the gray mist all around, they were invading and corroding his body and soul at the same time.

Xu Qing forcibly endured the pain and the divine source's resistance, his body speeding forward toward the depths.

In the blink of an eye, he reached a hundred zhang, and the corrosion and invasion here were even more terrifying; even in many places of Xu Qing's body, the flesh and blood had already disappeared.

But his speed was still erupting rapidly, until he reached four hundred meters, his body was already like a skeleton.

But Xu Qing gritted his teeth and sank down again; reaching the abyss of five hundred zhang, his body began to melt, and his soul appeared to be shattering.

At the critical moment of crisis, Xu Qing took out Red Mother flesh and put it directly into his mouth, biting down fiercely; Red Mother flesh exploded in his body like a raging fire, and a large amount of divine source power spread from Xu Qing's whole body, making him, who was already in a state of melting, almost collapse.

In reality, if he hadn't swallowed Red Mother flesh directly in this environment, Xu Qing would have been easier to collapse; this was also why he didn't use it in the battle with Ji Dongzi.

And here, divine power was excluded, hated, and melted; the gray mist and silt from all around helped him indirectly.

Xu Qing was like a balloon about to explode; placing it here would cause a certain degree of offset, making his body able to barely rely on this violent power after bearing Red Mother flesh, and Xu Qing rushed forward again.

Six hundred zhang, seven hundred zhang, eight hundred zhang... during this period, the feeling brought by Red Mother flesh was rapidly melted, until the limit of nine hundred zhang, Xu Qing knew clearly that Red Mother flesh could not be swallowed anymore, even if it was here.

But his body ultimately couldn't support it, so he raised his melting hand and grabbed fiercely toward the place where the skull was closest in his memory!

Under this grab, the heavens and earth seemed to turn into a well; whether illusory or real, they were all reflected within.

But the suppression and distance restrictions blurred everything; what was brought out by fishing for the moon in the well was also a piece of distortion, not clear.

Another grab was empty; the next instant, Xu Qing's body began to melt, as if about to be swallowed by this silt, but soon, a life lamp formed on his residual body, and a self-rotating time also erupted violently on him.

Time reversal!

The next moment, Xu Qing's figure disappeared; when he appeared, it was not outside the silt, but still in the silt, only it was not nine hundred zhang, but one hundred zhang.

The environment here could affect everything, even the power of time was weakened; after appearing, Xu Qing did not have any hesitation, rushed upward violently, until the moment he broke through the silt, he spat out blood, his body was full of corrosion, and he was seriously injured.

The bronze incense burner was...

Xu Qing recovered with all his might!

Time passed; every time the incense burner was about to extinguish, Xu Qing would throw out a piece of Red Mother flesh to delay its extinguishing; although this kind of consumption was extremely luxurious, and following the continuation of divine power, the mist all around became dense to the extreme, that feeling had already penetrated into the bone marrow, but there was no other way.

Half a day later, Xu Qing opened his eyes; his injuries were still there, but the divine source had recovered, and the soul threads had also appeared active due to Red Mother flesh and absorption, but now he could only suppress this feeling of heartache and close his eyes to recover.

Time passed slowly; when Xu Qing opened his eyes again, his divine power had recovered more than half, so he looked down at the silt under his body!

He recalled the previous failure; there was another way that theoretically should be feasible. ===== CHAPTER 813 =====
