The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 804 - 327: The Embryo of the Evil Beast, The Earth’s Blood Vessels_2

"Ye Yin only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg at Mass Grave, it’s unimaginable what level of terrifying source we are actually approaching..."

Ye Hanjun, with a chilling shudder, felt icy cold to the bone.

His complexion drained of color, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to pass the obstacles time and again.

Yet, even with GuaGua’s warnings, various curses could still potentially infiltrate.

The most dangerous was undoubtedly the "Vulnerability Curse", a mere touch of which significantly weakened the constitutions of Goose Immortal and the Chimera cubs.

Afterward, merely walking a few steps would leave them gasping for breath, and any accidental bumps could result in wounds that would not heal normally for days.

Eventually, it was GuaGua who took action.

It took more than ten instances of "Super Purification" to cleanse the traces of the curse from the beasts’ bodies.

"Phew, that was close!"

"This was just a trivial strand, what if we encountered a tombstone? If we let the curse from within the tombstone erode our flesh, wouldn’t I, the great Immortal, end up as a pile of minced meat?"

Goose Immortal showed a color of fear, still shaken.

Lion Head, Ram Head, and Snake Head, relying on their higher status and stronger physiques, bore the cost of the curse a bit less.

But they could sense the essence of the curse, recognizing the power that surpassed their current status, their six eyes widened, and every rustle of the grass triggered an instinctive stress response.

"Lord Han, we are close, it’s just ahead!"

Mo, hanging on Ye Hanjun’s arm like a koala, suddenly transmitted this surprising message.

"Thump-thump... thump-thump..."

Ye Hanjun listened closely, hearing the strange sound once more.

This time, Goose Immortal heard it too, the sound resembling the heartbeat of some creature, but overly slow and deep.

Upon reaching their ears, it sounded like a rolling demonic chant, causing their muscles to tighten, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"This is..."

A kilometer further, Ye Hanjun’s heart suddenly stopped, even his breathing momentarily froze.

They had spent at least a week traversing numerous dangers to finally penetrate the deepest part of the graveyard.

But the scene reflected in his pupils did not match any of his prior conjectures.

It was a valley.

There were no streams, no springs, no flowers, no trees.

Nothing with a breath of life, just a desolate, miserable, and sorrowful place, leaving only a vivid impression of death.

Every cell in Ye Hanjun’s body trembled with fear, he cautiously stepped forward, sneaking a peek into the valley, and felt as if struck by lightning.

How could this be! What is that!

In the rugged valley, there were crimson blood vessels everywhere, intertwined and dense, endless as far as the eye could see.

They were not inanimate; fresh plasma flowed slowly through the vessels, the sound of crashing waves was soul-stirring.

And the source of the thumping was at the center where thousands of vessels connected, a ghastly crimson heart.

All the surging blood flowed to and fro from there.

Yet the aura it exuded was utterly cold, far surpassing any vast iceberg.

Ye Hanjun saw just a glimpse, as if beholding something forbidden.

His face turned pale, sweat dripped down, then veins popped on his forehead, followed by dizziness and mental disarray.

Especially his brain, it felt as if it contained a mini-universe about to explode.

"ROAR!!"

Lion Head roared, Ram Head made a Shocking Roar, and Snake Head hissed fiercely.

The anxious Chimera cubs scratched the cracked ground, not desiring to stay a moment longer on this soil, only wishing to escape.

GuaGua’s reaction was even more intense; being usually carefree and lawless, here its body became as tense as stone.

In its glittering pupils, divine light flashed back and forth ceaselessly.

Mysterious patterns of light wove across its surface, and with an enchanting fragrance spreading, Ye Hanjun and the Chimera cubs nearby suddenly found themselves amidst a tide of Spirits, the ultimate fear born deep within their souls faded by a third.

"Big tadpole, I can do without food if it’s not tasty, I can look away from unpleasant scenery..."

"Even if it’s a tattered rag, even though I don’t like to approach it, I have no other thoughts, always letting things flow naturally..."

"But this thing... this thing... is really too filthy!"

"I hate it so much, I don’t want it to exist in this world, I want to destroy it... I want to... kill it!"

GuaGua, murmuring to itself, appeared lost in thought.

Suddenly, the White Jade Buddha Light soared into the sky.

GuaGua, seated on the Ninth Layer Lotus Platform, was cross-legged in the lower half, nourished by the sparkling clear Spiritual Spring.

With a raised chest and head in the upper half, the little frog’s face glowed with an inviolable divine aura.

At that moment, Stone’s pendant around its neck shined brightly, and GuaGua’s aura increased bit by bit.

As the Spiritual Spring surged upward, a rainbow bridge formed in the sky, pushing up against an ink-cloud-filled sky with a rising sun.

There were visions like mountains pressing down and a vast sea rising, with the sound of pine waves in the ear and warm wind on the neck, a divine Ninth Layer Giant Golden Lotus, slowly spinning, unswervingly pressing downward.

At that moment, the day was bright, and all was pure in heaven.

The flawless light stood proud, divine features and sacred sounds touching the spirit.

Sunlight filtering through the gaps between fingers illuminated this dark land cursed with bitter cold for a hundred thousand years, as if deities bathed here, turning everything into a celestial realm.

The flowing vessels suddenly went berserk, causing the valley to rumble thunderously.
