Following the passage downward, no one knew how far they had gone when suddenly a muffled sound was heard. The sound seemed very faint, but it made everyone's hearts clench sharply, and their faces changed drastically.
"What is that?"
"Thud"—
this time everyone heard it even more clearly. When the sound came, their hearts suddenly contracted, sending shivers down their spines.
"It seems so... The sound of a heartbeat. Long Chen himself was also shocked and inexplicably shocked; to him, it really was the sound of a heartbeat.
"Heartbeat?"
Everyone's mouths dropped open, and the sound of their heartbeats made them feel so uncomfortable. What kind of terrifying creature is this?
Bai Shishi's beautiful face was also filled with shock; she clearly hadn't expected such a terrifying existence underground.
Everyone moved forward cautiously. Soon, some couldn't take it anymore, feeling as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests, and no longer dared to move forward. Long Chen ordered them to return to the upper level, while the rest continued onward.
It must be said, the strength of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance's experts was indeed formidable. Over a thousand people on Long Chen's side could no longer withstand it, yet not a single one of them retreated.
As everyone continued downward, the heartbeat grew louder and louder. Everyone felt it was hard to breathe, their internal organs seemingly shattering. On Long Chen's side, except for Bai Xiaole, Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, Li Cai, and a dozen others, no one else could hold on.
On Bai Shishi's side, only a little over a hundred people could continue to hold on; the rest all returned upstairs.
Finally, a huge stone gate appeared ahead. On top of the door was a circular pattern. Just as Long Chen and the others were thinking about how to open the gate, a divine light suddenly shot out from the pattern, heading straight for the skeletal head.
"Buzz"—
a divine pattern appeared above the skeletal head, blending with the divine light, and then the stone door shook violently.
"Crack, crack, crack...
The
stone door slowly opened. As it opened, the runes on the bones vanished, and as the runes dimmed, the bones instantly weathered, scattering into ashes all over the ground.
Long Chen looked at the skeleton and sighed inwardly. This person must be the last member of the Galaxy Sect, controlling many secrets. Unfortunately, he didn't write them all down and died.
With the fall of the Xinghe Sect, this man was filled with hatred, hoping to plant the seed of revenge through his will. In this regard, he was quite similar to the Nine Star successor.
However, as a Nine Star successor, Long Chen still didn't know who he was seeking revenge. He even doubted whether he was a half-baked Nine Star successor, with an incomplete inheritance.
"Thud"—
the door opened, and the sound of heartbeats echoed like stars colliding. Luo Bing and the others trembled violently, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, and all exploded with all their strength to resist.
Bai Shishi and Long Chen walked through the main gate together. The group carefully followed behind them, walking a hundred zhang until a huge arena appeared ahead.
Standing at the edge of the arena spanning a thousand miles, everyone felt as small as ants. The arena before them was already in ruins, riddled with pitted holes.
At the center of the arena lay a massive figure—a giant a hundred zhang tall, its skin covered in stone, covered in runes, its belly slightly rising and falling, as if asleep.
That terrifying heartbeat came from within its body, and with every heartbeat, the arena trembled.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a rock fell from the edge of the arena, crashing to the ground and turning into a pile of sand fragments. Within the gravel, it was golden and had blood-red patterns.
"It's actually Phoenix Blood Sand Gold. The entire arena is crafted from this top-grade immortal material. Unfortunately, it's been so long ago that all the power of Sand Gold has been exhausted by runes and has become worthless material." In Bai Shishi's beautiful eyes was a trace of regret.
She was a powerful gold cultivator and knew how precious this Phoenix Blood Sand Gold was, which was why she felt such regret.
"That's the Tongtian Stone Spirit. Pretty girl, it's time for you to show your skills." Long Chen looked at the giant and spoke to Bai Shishi.
"What did you call me?" Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen, her eyes full of coldness, clearly disliking the name Long Chen.
"Why are you glaring at me? Calling you pretty is just complimenting you. How can you not know what's good for you? Long Chen said somewhat displeased under Bai Shishi's glare.
"Exactly, when my boss calls you 'pretty girl,' it's because he respects you. Not calling you 'snot girl' is already giving you a lot of face.
You used to have a runny nose when you were little, don't think I don't know. Long Chen and Bai Shishi were in opposition, so Bai Xiaole immediately sided with Long Chen.
"You little brat, do you deserve a beating?" Bai Shishi's anger surged as she looked at Bai Xiaole, whose expression seemed ready to hit someone at any moment.
Seeing Bai Shishi angry, Bai Xiaole wasn't afraid at all; instead, he became even more excited: "I'm a little brat, so you're a brat, so what?" Trying to hit someone? Come on, I have a boss now.
My boss even dares to beat up our own father. If you don't accept it, just try it out and see if my boss spoils you.
My boss said, a woman like you should be a bed-warming girl; if you don't listen, you'll be beaten every day. When
Bai Xiaole said this, everyone was stunned, especially the disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance, who looked at Long Chen in disbelief.
Not to mention others, even Long Chen himself was embarrassed. When did I ever say that? Has this kid suddenly lost his mind, or is he deliberately setting a trap for me?
"Did you really say that?" Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen, gritting her silver teeth as if she wanted to kill him.
The disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance clenched their fists in an instant. They had followed Bai Shishi for so long, and this was the first time they'd seen her so angry. They were already prepared for a.
"That's right, come on! If my boss is afraid of you..." Bai Xiaole shouted arrogantly, but Luo Ning suddenly covered his mouth.
"Fairy Shishi, don't listen to Xiao Le's nonsense. Long Chen definitely never said that." Seeing things were going badly, Luo Ning hurriedly explained.
Luo Bing, Mu Qingyun, and the others were speechless. At a time like this, they still have the mood to talk nonsense. Could the world of the strong really be incomprehensible?
"If I found out you said that, I'd beat you eight times in one day." Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen coldly and said.
Long Chen was instantly furious. Is this guy out of his mind? How could he possibly say something like that? What she said was basically a threat.
Long Chen immediately refused to back down, "I said I never said that, but it doesn't matter. I want to ask, did you really have a runny nose when you were little?" One flick and it can fly out like noodles. "
Get lost,"
Bai Shishi's brows shot up, and a word slipped out through clenched teeth.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the space trembled, and Luo Bing and the others looked terrified as they looked behind Long Chen and Bai Shishi.
Bai Shishi and Long Chen also felt a chill run down their spine,Feeling as if something terrifying was staring at them, the two slowly turned their heads. At some point, the sleeping giant had actually stood up, its huge eyes staring coldly at them.
"Are you here to challenge me?"
