Chapter 972: Death Statues
"Boom!"
Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man stood amidst the ever-vibrating world, their attention fixed on the giant mountain ahead, resembling a massive tomb.
At that moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky.
Under their gaze, the gigantic peak suddenly collapsed, turning into chunks of stone.
"It seems we were right. Once this mountain collapses, we should see what's beneath," Shi Feng said to the Black Robed Man.
The Black Robed Man nodded.
They waited for the collapsed mountain to settle completely.
Underneath the mountain, a gigantic, seemingly bottomless pit appeared.
The mountain collapsed with a thunderous crash, "breaking into pieces," becoming large stone blocks, seemingly being devoured by an enormous mouth.
Even the stones falling from above kept dropping down, vanishing without a trace.
As the stones continued to sink, Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man saw that under the massive peak, a huge black bottomless hole had appeared, swallowing the fallen stone blocks.
"Perhaps this is the passageway. Let's go check it out and be careful," the Black Robed Man said seriously upon seeing the massive, black, bottomless hole.
Then, the two figures flashed simultaneously, quickly appearing above the giant black hole, peering down.
But no matter how long they looked, they couldn't see through the scene below; the gigantic black hole contained a mysterious power that even their eyesight couldn't penetrate.
"Not good!" the Black Robed Man exclaimed, turning his head back as if seeing deep into the distant night.
Shi Feng's face turned cold; he sensed numerous fierce, violent auras rapidly closing in, one particularly strong.
"It's those Barbaric Demons! And the Demon King Black Jiao! They're rushing here," Shi Feng said coldly.
That powerful aura, no mistaking it, belonged to the Two-star Demigod Realm Black Jiao! The same aura felt when the Bloodthirsty Sword advanced and the odd phenomenon occurred!
"Indeed, the Black Jiao, with its Barbaric Demon Army!" the Black Robed Man confirmed gravely.
Shi Feng lowered his head, withdrawing all attention to focus on the massive black hole below, saying, "Let's go!"
"Go!" the Black Robed Man echoed, and their figures turned into a stream of black and white light, plummeting down like meteors.
In a flash, they plunged into the gigantic black hole.
"Roar! Roar roar! Roar!" Shortly after Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man entered the black hole, ferocious roars echoed in the night sky.
Then, a gigantic black Demon Dragon appeared above the massive black hole, its dragon eyes peering down, speaking, "The inherited power of the Demon God seems to be below! Those pesky little mice went first!"
"Roar! You pesky mice, the king will catch you!" the Black Jiao roared angrily, shaking the heavens, then its massive black dragon body lunged downward, entering the black hole.
"Roar roar! Roar roar roar! Roar!" As soon as the Black Jiao entered the black hole, angry roars of fierce beasts echoed continuously from afar.
The dead silence of this world was already shattered.
..
Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man continued to fall after entering the black giant hole, as if it truly was a bottomless pit!
Until they sensed their feet touch solid ground, did scenes gradually unfold before their eyes.
At that moment, they found themselves in a vast, boundless underground cavern, with piercing, icy, deathly auras continually surging toward them from all directions.
"Such dense, cold death qi here! This death qi certainly indicates the presence of strong death creatures, and in substantial numbers," Shi Feng exclaimed, attuned to the flowing death qi.
"Aura of Death?" the Black Robed Man echoed. The two's gaze swept across the vast underground space.
Soon, they saw not far ahead, to the left, behind, and right, in all four directions, dozens of huge black statues suspended mid-air — clearly Barbaric Demon Stone Statues.
Yet Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man sensed those icy auras emanating from the statues, surging toward them.
"They are moving! Though slow, my senses don't deceive me! They were slumbering, now gradually awakening. We must leave! If we don't go now, it'll be too late." Shi Feng spoke urgently to the Black Robed Man.
The dense death qi from the black statues told Shi Feng that these slumbering death creatures had a realm at least in the Demigod Realm!
One exceptionally tall black statue, its aura matched that of the Black Jiao.
Fifty Demigod Realm death creatures, plus a Two-star Demigod Realm death creature – if they don't leave now, there will be no escape.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Instantly, cracking sounds reverberated through the cavern.
Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man saw cracks appearing on the black statues suspended mid-air, like black spider webs, spreading across the statues.
"There's a hole, let's rush over." The Black Robed Man's grave voice echoed again, extending a long, slender, white hand, pointing to the right.
There lay a massive, gate-like hole, endless and mysterious.
"Go!" Without hesitation, Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man dashed toward the large hole.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, loud booms erupted as huge black bodies fell to the ground, causing the earth to violently shake.
At the mouth of the large hole Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man were rushing toward, seven or eight huge black bodies fell, exuding thicker, deathly Yin Qi.
