579 Primordial Ruins (1)

She followed Song s.h.i.+ closely and said in a trembling voice, “It’s too powerful. Just a casual grab has drawn a depth that exceeds the depth we’ve been underground for so long.”

“Isn’t this good? If we continue down from this depth, the chances of us being caught will be even lower.”

Song s.h.i.+ smiled and quickly reached the bottom through the crack he had just scratched. Then, he continued deeper. The soil here was very hard, and their speed of burrowing became slower and slower.

Du Ming’e was still a little uneasy. “It won’t continue to target us, right?”

“In any case, I won’t spend too much effort to target the ants hiding.”

Song s.h.i.+ shook his head. “I guess it won’t dig the ground to look for us. That would waste far more energy than eating us.”

“Fair enough.”

Du Ming’e nodded. “Such a powerful roc can’t be a fool. There’s no need to hold on to us weaklings.”

While they were discussing, the frequency of the vibration above their heads began to decrease. After a few more times, it completely quietened down.

“It should have left.”

Song s.h.i.+ guessed.

“I didn’t expect that the first thing that left a deep impression on us when we came to the Immortal World was to be slaughtered by the Great Roc as food.”

Du Ming’e smiled bitterly. Anyone who had just ascended to the Immortal World was full of confidence and hope for the future. In the end, they actually encountered such a thing.

He thought that he was going to be an immortal with longevity and boundless glory, but now, he had become an ant. It was too much of a blow.

“Perhaps it’s the usual operation of the organizers of the Ascended Immortal Gathering. This is to remind us that everyone is a powerful figure in the lower realm, but after coming to the Immortal World, we are nothing.”

Song s.h.i.+ shrugged. “Just maintain a normal mentality. No matter what test it has, just improvise.”

“Brother Song’s temperament is worth learning.”

Du Ming’e smiled brightly. Perhaps Song s.h.i.+’s calmness had infected her, her chest, which was originally heaving violently from nervousness, gradually calmed down.

After a while, the two of them carefully returned to the thousand-foot crack that the roc had scratched.

This place was partly filled by the soil that had fallen from both sides. However, the soil was soft and thousands of feet high was just a small obstacle for Divine Telekinesis. After pa.s.sing through the soil and carefully investigating, there was indeed no movement of the roc outside.

After pa.s.sing through the soil and returning to the ground, he saw a mess. Trees were broken and cracks that were like canyons crisscrossed. Occasionally, he could see some blood, mud, and tattered clothes.

“It’s too strong. I wonder what level it is.”

Song s.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes. Although all of this was just an illusion, the strength of the Great Roc was definitely real.

“It’s at least at the Immortal King Realm, or even the Immortal Emperor Realm.”

Du Ming’e’s eyes were filled with fear, “When it descended to the ground and began to eat people, many of our fellow Daoists used Laws but still could not resist at all. It’s most likely a Law Domain.”

“Domain… Immortal Emperor-level power.”

Song s.h.i.+ muttered. Suddenly, the soil not far away squirmed and a head carefully popped out.

This person was tall and his entire body was filled with demonic qi. Perhaps he was not a human. He panted heavily at the sky and cursed, “d.a.m.n it, why is there such a terrifying Great Roc in the Immortal World? Isn’t this thing a Demon G.o.d? It should be in the Divine Realm.”

He propped himself up on the ground and jumped out like a carrot. He looked at Song s.h.i.+ and Du Ming’e. “I’m Yang Kuisheng. The two of you are also smart and lucky people. Can you join us?”

“Are you a demon or a human?”

Du Ming’e frowned. “The demonic aura is so strong. Why can’t I see your true form?”

“I’m a human, but I have a little demon bloodline,” Yang Kuisheng explained. “Moreover, why do we care about races now? The situation is special now. It’s best if everyone sticks together for safety.”

Yang Kuisheng told them his situation to gain their trust.

“So it’s an unorthodox technique that uses demon blood to a.s.sist in cultivation. You can cultivate to become an immortal. I think the demon blood you obtained is not simple.”

Du Ming’e looked at Song s.h.i.+ thoughtfully. “Brother Song, what do you think?”

“Cooperation is naturally beneficial to the current situation. I’m Song s.h.i.+.”

Song s.h.i.+ nodded.

“Du Ming’e.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’re right. Just now, we were attacked by the Golden-Winged Roc. We just didn’t cooperate. Otherwise, we would have been able to fight back.”

A short and fat cultivator with fear still lingering on his face crawled out and stood in front of the large crack. He echoed Song s.h.i.+’s words and added, “I’m Zhao Kaizeng.”

At this moment, the surviving cultivators appeared one after another and gathered together.

Song s.h.i.+ looked at the number. There were only about 60 left. More than 80% of them had died from the previous attack.

“What does this mean? They eliminated so many ascenders the moment we arrived.”

When he was puzzled, the ascenders restrained their emotions and communicated.

“Even now, I find it hard to believe that such a thing will happen after I ascend.”

“What’s the use of saying all this? Our lives are more important now.”

“Let’s leave this place quickly. What if that Demon Roc comes back?”

“We’re unfamiliar with this place. Where are we going?”

As their expressions changed, the cultivators all had their own thoughts. In the end, someone suggested choosing a random direction to advance in. It was better than staying where they were.

Unfortunately, the cultivators had different opinions on the choice of direction.

Upon hearing that everyone had their own thoughts, Song s.h.i.+ frowned and could not be bothered to mediate. He said to Du Ming’e, “There are two choices now. Find a random direction to explore. The second is to kill everyone.”

These words shocked Zhao Kaizeng. “Brother, what are you talking about?”

Du Ming’e understood what Song s.h.i.+ meant.

Now that this was an illusion and it did not stop because the Great Roc had left, it meant that everyone had to die in the illusion before it stopped.
