Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 677: The Wound of a Deity

In a mountainous gorge within the Ancient Realm, there lies a bottomless Demon Pool.

The waters of this pool had long turned fiery red, as the Heavenly Fire from the meteorites raged within the Demon Pool, and the surrounding magma poured into the pool, completely enveloping the area above it.

And deep beneath the Demon Pool.

Qinchuan looked up at the scorching lava overhead, and found himself in a dilemma.

He had been driven to a dead end by the Law Meteorites and had dived into this Demon Pool.

But the scale of those meteorites exceeded his imagination. For ten consecutive days, the entire Ancient Realm was subjected to a meteor shower.

He had no choice but to keep diving deeper into the Demon Pool.

What he hadn't expected was that the earth, shattered by the meteorites, caused the underground magma to flow out, and eventually pour into the Demon Pool.

Ordinary people were blocked by the magma from going further down.

Yet now, he was trapped below by a thick layer of magma.

"Originally, I dived down about a hundred thousand zhang, and now I've only ascended half the distance and have encountered the layer of lava. This means that the distance of fifty thousand zhang above is covered with this magma!"

"A layer of magma fifty thousand zhang thick, with the temperature and energy at the central area being absurdly high, and this magma also carries a dense Power of Laws, with my current Physical Body, I definitely can't pass through it!"

Qinchuan knew that although his Physical Body had far surpassed those of the same rank of Saint Experts, a layer of magma fifty thousand zhang thick would completely melt him.

Afterwards, Qinchuan wanted to use a supreme method to smash out a cave from the stone wall of the Demon Pool so that he could bypass the magma layer above him.

Although it would take more time, it was still a viable route.

However, when his Divine Skills struck the stone wall, a fleeting nether-blue light flickered on the wall and ripples emanated, dissolving most of his Divine Skill energy.

"My Divine Skills actually can't destroy the stone wall of this Demon Pool."

Qinchuan refused to believe it and once again drew out the Chi Yue Spear.

"Long Spear, Heaven Breakthrough!"

A Divine Skill capable of annihilating a Supreme Saint Expert struck the stone wall, and the wall only rippled once again.

Even, not a single mark was left behind.

"As expected of the forbidden land of the Ancient Ghost Clan, it seems I must find another way out!" Qinchuan gave up the idea of trying to break through to the surface from here.

Since the routes above and through the mountain were inaccessible, Qinchuan began to dive deeper following the direction of the pool.

Although he had now delved tens of thousands of zhang beneath the Demon Pool, there were still faint glimmers of light in the water.

They came from some of the Laws flickering above the stone walls of the Demon Pool nearby, and it was these Powers of Laws that had prevented him from destroying the place.

At the bottom of the Abyss, other than the nether-blue light of the Array, there were no signs of life, only dead water.

He didn't know how long he had dived downward when suddenly, Qinchuan felt a current below him.

"That's an underground stream!"

Qinchuan was overjoyed.

Since there was an underlying current here, it indicated the presence of fresh water, and if he followed the current, he would inevitably return to the surface.

Qinchuan continued to dive, and soon, he felt a strong surging assault from his right side.

He had reached the middle of the current.

At that moment, Qinchuan held his breath, focused, and his body lit up as he progressed with the direction of the current.

As he left the bottom of the Demon Pool with the current, the originally flickering nether-blue light gradually disappeared, and the world plunged into darkness.

"Could it be that there are no more Law Prohibitions in this place?!" Qinchuan thought, while swinging his Chi Yue Spear, summoning a thunder dragon that roared out in the water.

"Crack!" The thunder dragon struck the surrounding walls and was instantly extinguished.

"Indeed, there is still an inexplicable Power of Laws!"

Qinchuan grew stern, opened his Innate Pupils, and immediately took in the environment around him.

He only saw that the surrounding stone walls seemed like bewitched iron, completely dark, the ultimate black, absorbing all the light sources and Dharma Patterns in the world. Even the lightning generated by Qinchuan's long spear was absorbed by this bewitched black iron.

If it hadn't been for Qinchuan awakening the Innate Pupils, he would never have been able to see these sights clearly.

"Bad news! I've entered an ancient array!

Qinchuan felt a shock in his heart as he suddenly realized.

These terrifying Formation Patterns blocked the way out for anyone caught within the array.

Qinchuan turned to look behind him.

Sure enough, the stone wall behind him had turned into one of bewitched gold.

There was no turning back!

Unknowingly, he had entered a place of no escape.

This was a Prohibition Array left by the clans of Ancient Times, and anyone who fell into it would undoubtedly find it difficult to escape.

"Never mind, we'll cross the bridge when we get there!" Qinchuan quickly recovered from his brief stupor, "Great peril often heralds great opportunity!"

He continued to move forward, following the dark flow.

After an unknown amount of time, Qinchuan saw a giant cage hanging in the water ahead of him.

It was a cage forged from ancient bronze material, covered with mysterious Runes, and extraordinarily eerie.

At each of the eight corners of the bronze cage, hung a lantern emitting a ghostly light like that of Netherworld prison fire.

These soul lamps had been lit for who knows how many years, their glow now extremely dim, so much so that even the center of the cage could not be illuminated.

However, with his Innate Pupils, Qinchuan had already clearly seen what was inside the cage.

Inside the bronze cage, a strange person with a serpent's body and human head was imprisoned.

The serpent's body coiled and floated in the void of the bronze cage, seemingly very afraid of touching the bronze cage and soul lamps, revealing a man's face in the center, calm and serene.

There was not a trace of aura emanating from him, he must have been long dead!

And yet, even as a corpse, he exuded an immensely overwhelming pressure at all times.

This made Qinchuan's skin crawl, as if he was being pricked by needles.

"Could this be... an ancient god?!"

Qinchuan was shocked in his heart.

Who else could be suppressed by both the Ancient Divine Clan and the Demon Race, if not someone from the Divine Race or Demon Race?

"A Divine Body of the Ancient Divine Clan!" Qinchuan swallowed, for the body of a deity, this was a treasure indeed.

The hearts of the ancient deities of the Divine and Demon Races were already extremely rare.

Qinchuan had previously searched for lifetimes, only to find a heart from an ordinary member of the Demon Race.

And here, a complete divine body from an ancient god was preserved! It greatly moved him.

The bronze cage was just hanging there in the distance, and Qinchuan followed the dark flow downward.

He did not approach the bronze cage.

Even a strong being like an ancient god, floating in the cage before death, was very afraid of the bronze cage, and Qinchuan was certain that if he got anywhere near those bronze cages, he would surely perish.

Not much farther on, Qinchuan saw another cage identical to the first.

This bronze cage in the center imprisoned a godlike figure with silver hair, presenting a "big" character in the middle of the cage, as if wanting to howl up to the heavens.

It was evident that this deity was roaring in rage before the end, as if trying to resist.

"It seems that this place was where the Ancient Ghost and Demon Clans imprisoned offending deities!"

Qinchuan thoughtfully continued to move forward, his heart uneasy.

Along the way, he saw the corpses of several deities one after another, which left him deeply shaken.

And before long, the scene that suddenly appeared ahead made Qinchuan utterly astonished.

"That is..."
