752 Lightning Strikes Nether King Er Ha (1/2)
As soon as they got into the Road of Gluttony, they felt the ground underneath bumpy as it was tiled with various types of crushed stones. It sounded like knocking when people walked on it.
The rock walls stood on two sides with so many murals, which were simple and straightforward that Bu Fang understood their meaning at first glance.
The main content was that many types of spirit beasts roared at the chefs who were holding kitchen knives in their hands. Eventually, they all became cooking ingredients under the chefs' knives…
Really straightforward. It was Bu Fang's taste, though.
Chu Changsheng was not paying attention to the murals. He took Xiao Ya, walking forward with a stern face.
He treaded the crushed stones on the ground, making some squeaking and crackling noises.
Bu Fang followed him. All of a sudden, the scene in front of him changed. Wisps of immense energy emerged, and the stone walls around became light curtains.
Those light curtains looked like some kind of moving water.
”What is this?” Bu Fang asked skeptically.
”Do you know where the Road of Gluttony leads to?” Chu Changsheng didn't answer but gave him a question.
Bu Fang was bewildered. How could he know that? Thus, he kept silent.
”This Road of Gluttony leads to the bottom of the Sunset Lake, the place where the White Taotie was originally sealed,” said Chu Changsheng.
Oh, that place?
Bu Fang was astonished. He touched his arm with the black-and-white bandage, giving a slight nod.
The three of them continued to move forward. Shortly, they left the area with the light curtain. Then, they were shrouded in a mysterious starry sky.
Surrounding them was actually the lake, with some fishes swimming slowly.
This was the end of the passage that connected to the lake. They could see things under the lake clearly.
Suddenly, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes as a giant monster moved past him.
It was the Ancestral Alligator!
That giant Ancestral Alligator's blade-like pupils also saw Bu Fang. It immediately sank, and its four legs covered the passage above. Dust from the bottom of the lake rose.
The Ancestral Alligator opened its mouth wide, as though it was screaming while staring at Bu Fang.
”Get lost.” Chu Changsheng frowned at the Ancestral Alligator as he spat those words.
The Ancestral Alligator closed its mouth immediately. A moment later, it waved its giant tail and dashed away, disappearing.
”That Ancestral Alligator isn't a bad cooking ingredient…” said Bu Fang, rubbing his chin.
Chu Changsheng was speechless, staring at Bu Fang.
They continued to walk forward in silence. Shortly, the scene in front of them changed again.
The end of the road diverged into nine passages, each of them like a black hole.
”This is where you choose your path in the Road of Gluttony. There are nine paths in total. Each of them is extremely dangerous. But if you can cross it… You'll have some great encounter,” said Chu Changsheng.
Chu Changsheng took a deep breath, then continued with, ”The Valley Master had built this Road of Gluttony, and he had left here good stuff like the famous knives, recipes, and even… the inheritance.”
”You mean the inheritance is in one of those paths?” asked Bu Fang.
”No… None of these nine paths have the inheritance.” Chu Changsheng shook his head.
What? No inheritance?
Chu Changsheng grinned, showing a rare smile. He dropped the little girl down.
”The Valley Master liked to keep saying this over and over. I didn't understand him… Anyway, I know that the Valley Master would absolutely not place the inheritance in any of these nine paths…” Chu Changsheng eyed Bu Fang.
His hand shook once, and several jade talismans appeared in his hand.
Those talismans had different shapes, but they could be combined together to create a disc.
Chu Changsheng sent his true energy to that disc, making the disc glow and emit radiance.
Buzz…
As the light was radiating, Xiao Ya let out a low groan.
Xiao Ya's eyes became white-hot, and a bright dot emerged on her forehead.
Boom! Boom!
The bright dot and the light from the disc gathered. After that, a beam of light shot out, diverging and shooting into those nine passages.
ROAR!
Bu Fang seemed to hear a beast roaring from the nine paths. He slightly furrowed his brows.
A moment later, the ground began to shake and move.
The entire Sunset Lake surged.
Boom! Boom!
The nine passages slowly ascended, revealing a jet black passage… This was the tenth path.
From that path, many wisps of fierce energy shot out, resonating with Xiao Ya's aura.
A phantom of a Taotie emerged above her head.
The bandage on Bu Fang's arm suddenly became hot. The Black Taotie's soul and the White Taotie's soul roared and came out of the bandage. They opened their mouths, bellowing at the passage.
Roar!
The Sunset Lake seethed as if it was about to explode. A bunch of lights shot out from the lake, reaching the sky. However, people couldn't see where they reached!
The Valley of Gluttony's inheritance… opened.
Chu Changsheng was so excited he was shivering. Tears rolled down his face.
”My Valley of Gluttony finally has hope! I wish that Xiao Ya could receive the Valley of Gluttony's inheritance. Otherwise, the Valley of Gluttony… will perish!”
…
”Netherworld creature?”
Mo Liuji had fear in his face as he looked in that direction. He felt a little nervous.
Chen Long was at Half-step Divine Soul Realm, an Almighty existence. He could resist that Netherworld creature if it was only a Great Void Realm existence.
The Great Path's Principle would restrain the Netherworld creatures from entering the continent. When the Great Void Realm creatures wanted to cross the Principle to enter the continent, the Hidden Dragon Continent's Principle would obliterate them!
Thus, until now, they had found only the general Great Void Realm or lower realm Netherworld creatures in the continent.
The creatures at higher realm than the Great Void Realm couldn't appear here.
This time, that aura must belong to something at the higher realm than Great Ethereal. How could it exist on this continent?
No wonder Grannie said that the continent was about to change, and the Great Ethereal creatures would appear more and more… Perhaps the Great Path's Principle had begun to weaken?
Once the continent's Principle weakened, imagine all those terrifying creatures coming from the Netherworld… The Hidden Dragon Continent wouldn't be able to resist them.
He had already seen the Principle. It was a giant eye that looked at the intimidating Netherworld creatures as if they were delicious meals. That horrible pressure had made his feet turn to jelly.
