“What the hell is this?!” The big scorpion hid behind Qin Chen and pointed at the demonic eye with a frightened expression.
Qin Chen looked over and saw a pair of demonic eyes hanging in the sky like two blood Suns. It was inexplicably and eerily demonic.
Even he felt like his mind was slipping when he looked at it.
Boom!
The Chaotic Holy Body activated automatically, and his Chaotic Divine Power surged and circulated, immediately isolating the aura of the demonic eye. Only then did Qin Chen come back to his senses. However, the big scorpion beside him was still in a trance and walked toward the demonic energy.
Qin Chen frowned and grabbed the big scorpion back. He then activated the Desolate Divine Halberd that released wisps of quasi-emperor aura, dispersing the demonic power of the demonic eye. With that, the big scorpion also regained its consciousness.
“This… This is too terrifying! Are these the eyes of a demon god?” The big scorpion said with a lingering fear. It had just seen something very terrifying. If Qin Chen had not pulled it back, its mind would have been devoured and it would have become a walking corpse.
“Oh? The Chaotic Holy Body has reappeared. Are you the descendant of that person?” An alluring voice resounded in the hall as the demonic eye looked over. Qin Chen’s pupils constricted and all the hair on his body stood on end as a boundless terrifying pressure assaulted him. It was as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric great beast.
“Let’s go!” Qin Chen growled and immediately used the Thirty-three heavens to protect himself. He even took the initiative to strike out with the Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist. After dispersing the layers of demonic energy in front of him, he tried to leave with the big scorpion.
“You want to leave? It’s too late!” The demonic eye spoke again, and the endless demonic energy became even more terrifying, enveloping Qin Chen. Darkness fell, interfering with the two’s sense of direction. They could not find the direction of the door at all.
It could even be said that this place had become a world of the demonic path.
“What do we do?” The big scorpion asked.
Qin Chen frowned. He was starting to regret thinking that he was capable enough to come here. He could feel the terror of the demonic eye such that it was as if it could kill him with a single breath. It was even stronger than the Supreme Sage realm.
Could it be that the eye was an existence above the three Jiutian Sages realms, just like the old lunatic?
Looking at the demonic energy everywhere, Qin Chen’s eyes focused and he unleashed the Chaotic Holy Body with all his might. Based on the previous exchange, he discovered that the Chaotic Holy Body had a restraining effect on the demonic energy. This was also the main reason why they had not been devoured by the demonic energy yet.
However, there was simply too much demonic energy. If they continued to stay here, it wouldn’t be long before the two of them would be completely devoured by the demonic energy.
The big scorpion looked at Qin Chen’s serious face and understood the current situation. He suddenly said, “We are not far from the door. Since your physique can dispel the demonic energy, I will stall the demonic eye while you rush out with all your might!”
Hearing the big scorpion’s words, Qin Chen’s face was filled with surprise. He did not expect that the big scorpion, who had always been afraid of death, would actually take the initiative to sacrifice its life to fight for a way out for him!
Seeing Qin Chen’s expression, the big scorpion smiled and said, “I actually had a younger brother, but he died. A long time ago, a group of people came and captured my brother to force him to bring them into the Demon Emperor Tomb. Back then, because I was timid, I didn’t even have the courage to save him. I could only watch as he was captured and brought into the Demon Emperor Tomb.”
The smile on the big scorpion’s face turned into despair as it continued, “After they went into the Demon Emperor Tomb, I have been guarding outside. Even when the blood-red desert appeared, I didn’t dare to go and go look for my brother. Until I met you. I still can’t believe that you dared to barge into the Demon Emperor Tomb alone. You gave me the courage. I don’t want to see you die, and I don’t want to live a cowardly life. So, just do as I say!”
The big scorpion’s face showed a look of determination. It unleashed all its strength, and a golden light was emitted all over his body. It released the aura of a Supreme Sage without reservation. It stared at the demonic eye shrouded in demonic energy. Then, as if it saw something, it suddenly smiled and said, “Little brother, big brother is here.”
With that, the big scorpion’s eyes became determined. It held its broadsword and was about to walk out of the protection area of the Thirty-three Heavens to fight the demonic eye. However, it had only taken a few steps when a big hand pulled it back.
“You can’t stall that eye, and even if you die, I can’t get out either. You’d better think of other ways!” Qin Chen said.
Of course, his words were not true. However, he could not watch the big scorpion die for him. Besides, he had the system with him. He did not believe that he would really die here.
The big scorpion felt strange. Although it knew that Qin Chen didn’t want it to die, it still felt aggrieved to be underestimated by a kid of a lower realm
“Do you feel it? The demonic eye seems to be able to only make the demonic energy erode us and can’t really attack us. There might be some restriction here that prevents it from attacking us,” Qin Chen suddenly said, sensing something unusual.
The big scorpion looked puzzled and asked, “So what if it can’t attack? It can still use demonic energy to kill us.”
Qin Chen was speechless. Wasn’t this guy too negative-minded? He did not reply to the big scorpion but carefully sensed the surroundings. Then, he looked in one direction, and his eyes became deep. He said softly, “The demonic energy in that direction is weaker. If I’m not wrong, the restriction that restricts the demonic eye should be there. Follow me. Let’s go and have a look!”
In order to not get lost in the demonic energy, Qin Chen summoned a ball of Golden Roc Dao Fire and threw it in the direction he sensed, leaving a trail of fire in the demonic energy.
However, because Qin Chen’s cultivation was not high enough, the Golden Roc Dao Fire, which contained the primordial imperial path, could only last for a few breaths under the corrosion of the demonic energy.
“Your flame is so terrifying, but it still can’t resist the corrosion of the demonic energy!” The big scorpion shook its head and sighed. It could sense how terrifying the Golden Roc Dao Fire was, but even such a terrifying Dao fire could not survive the corrosion of the demonic energy, which shocked it again.
Qin Chen already had an idea. He summoned the Golden Roc Dao Fire again and threw a line of fire in the direction he sensed. Then, he activated the Thirty-three heavens as well as the Chaotic Holy Body. Following this, he walked in the direction of the light with the big scorpion.
When the Golden Roc Dao Fire was extinguished, Qin Chen immediately stopped. He did not dare to move forward. After all, if he lost his way in this place, it would be a big problem.
Once again, he relaxed his mind and tried to sense the direction again. Then, he used the same trick and used the Golden Roc Dao Fire to head in the direction he sensed.
After about ten minutes, the power of the surrounding demonic energy had obviously weakened a lot. Qin Chen’s forehead was also covered in sweat. It was obvious that he had used up a lot of his energy.
Qin Chen roared. He did not summon the Golden Roc Dao Fire again. Instead, he activated the Thirty-three heavens with all his might. The demonic energy was pushed back, and the two arrived at their final destination.
It was a pool with spiritual spring water flowing in it. A green lotus was rooted and swaying, surrounded by mist and divine energy.
Qin Chen looked at the green lotus. His Chaotic Holy Body suddenly erupted and a small person appeared in the lotus.
