Chapter 256 Ch 256: Void Martial Stage
A month later, Alex, Max, and Amilia appeared in front of two connected mountains. These two mountains seemed to have been connected together by some kind of force, and their shapes were extremely strange.
This was the famous Twin Mountain Canyon in Layer Six.
A month ago, after Amilia dealt with Blood Demon, she realized that Alex has gone into seclusion. She could have left, but she decided not to. She sat down there and started mending to her injuries.
Two days, later, Alex returned. His cultivation base has already sored to the Fifth Level of Void Martial Stage by now.
When he arrived, Amilia thanked him and asked where he and Max were planning to go now.
Learning that both of them were planning to enter the newly discovered Tomb of Earth Demon Emperor, she thought for a while and decided to go there as well.
In these few days of journey, they all have already cleaned up all the Peak Martial Emperor Stage demons in the fifth layer.
Amilia had recovered and broken through to Layer 2 of the Void Martial Stage.
On the other hand, Max had already become a Peak Martial Emperor Stage martial warrior.
.....
Standing in front of the Twin Mountain Canyon, Alex and the other two could vaguely feel the tense atmosphere in the canyon.
"Let's go!"
Alex muttered softly and walked towards the canyon first. Amilia and the other two followed closely behind.
When they stepped into the canyon, a dark and damp smell hit their faces. The sides of the canyon were completely covered by the messy and thick ancient trees. Some of the branches even climbed up along the steep mountain walls. It was a few hundred meters tall.
Between the nearly airtight roots and branches, there was a one-meter-wide tunnel that extended all the way to the depths of the canyon. There were already dense footprints on the sand road.
"Looks like there are quite a number of people coming this time!"
Alex glanced at the footprints on the ground and said coldly with narrowed eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alex and the other two continued to walk toward the depths of the canyon.
Due to the concealment of the dense tree around them, the canyon was extremely dark, and they couldn't even see their own fingers. If a mortal were to step into the canyon, it would be difficult for them to move an inch.
In order to prevent the demons from sensing them, Alex and the other two withdrew all of their auras and lightly walked on this dark path.
After going through a long period of darkness, everything suddenly became clear in front of their eyes. What appeared in front of them was a long and narrow valley.
Sunlight was shining through the gaps between the two mountain peaks, illuminating this place.
If someone were to look down from the sky above the Twin Mountain Canyon, they would discover that the entire Twin Mountain Canyon was like a gourd.
The dark trail that Alex and the others had experienced before. It was the narrow valley in front of them. It was the waist of the gourd. Through the narrow canyon, one could reach the top of the gourd. It was also the deepest part of the Twin Mountain Canyon.
After walking along the narrow canyon for about seven minutes, Alex and the others arrived at the depths of the Twin Mountain Canyon.
In front of them was a pool about a thousand meters wide. The pool was as black as ink, and it was emitting waves of coldness.
The spread of the coldness caused thick layers of blue ice crystals to form on the mountains around the pool. Under the sunlight, they released layers of light, making the pool look strange and mysterious.
Above the deep pool, there was a huge dark palace floating in the air. This palace almost covered the entire deep pool, and the surroundings of the deep pool were filled with densely packed figures.
Surprisingly, at this place, the city lord of Layer Five, David, and a few strong soldiers of Layer Five were among them. Celia and dozens of experts were also there, standing in front of David and the others.
Alex was surprised to see Celia while Max and Amilia were shocked to see David. They didn't expect people from Layer Five to come to this famous place of Layer Six.
On the other side, there were experts from demon races as well.
The two forces were very distinct. There was no intense battle that they had imagined. Instead, they were staring at the deep pool in front of them nervously.
Alex sensed the experts of demons, and a cold smile flashed across his face. On the surface, the strongest expert of all the demons was the leader whose cultivation base had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Stage. Including him, there were also ten Martial Emperors and dozens of Martial King Stage demons.
However, Alex also noticed a few Void Martial Stage demons hiding in the dark. It was likely that they were planning to kill all humans that came here.
Of course, from the human side, there were also two Void Martial Stage martial warriors. They were also hiding in the shadows. But compared to the Void Martial Stage demons, there were a few fewer of them.
If Alex and the other two didn't show up, it was imaginable what would happen to the humans present at this place.
After understanding the strength of demons present at this place, Alex cast his gaze towards the deep pool. He wanted to see what exactly was in that deep pool that caused so many experts present to be afraid.
At this moment, the dark and deep pond was bubbling. Occasionally, water would splash in all directions. Deep roars could be heard faintly from the depths of the pond, as if there was a terrifying being struggling inside.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, a majestic fiendish aura spread out from the deep pond. It caused the entire pitch-black pond to be filled with waves, causing black water to splash in all directions. A bone-chilling coldness swept across the area, causing the temperature of the area to drop rapidly. It was difficult to even breathe.
Such a drastic change shocked the two groups surrounding the deep pond, causing them to retreat one after another. Their gazes were serious as they stared at the pitch-black deep pond. The aura on their bodies surged as they became extremely cautious.
"Roar!"
A ferocious roar was emitted from the deep pond. Under the gazes of everyone present, a giant pitch-black Python that was several hundred meters long charged out of the lake. Its huge pitch-black scales were like strong metals, flickering with a sharp cold light. Its enormous head was hideous and terrifying, and its two scarlet eyes were filled with the blinding light of brutality.
However, there were three extremely thick chains on top of the enormous pitch-black Python, locking the enormous body of the enormous pitch-black Python tightly in the deep pool, preventing it from leaving the deep pool.
The appearance of the pitch-black Python caused the temperature of the place, which was already extremely low, to drop drastically once again. It was extremely cold, and the ground around the deep pool was covered in layers of cold ice crystals.
"Peak Void Martial Stage demonic beast!"
When they felt the terrifying aura that was spreading from the huge pitch-black Python's body, everyone present couldn't help but cry out in shock. Their eyes were filled with terror, even though they knew that Void Martial Stage experts were protecting them in the dark.
So What?
The demonic beast was different from demons.
Although the demons are ferocious, they still had their rationality.
As for the demonic beasts, they did not have a shred of rationality. They would kill just anyone and devour them. Anyone who saw it would be attacked by them.
Human Void Martial Stage martial warriors and demonic Void Martial Stage martial warriors were also shocked by the sudden appearance of the Peak Void Martial Stage demonic beast. However, they did not attack. Instead, they continued to hide.
The giant black python was locked by mysterious chains. It wouldn't be able to harm anyone in a short period of time, so they weren't in a hurry to attack.
Whether it was the Void Martial Stage martial warriors of Inferno kingdom or Void Martial Stage demons, they all knew that this giant black python wasn't their biggest enemy. If they exposed it recklessly, it would only give them an opportunity to attack.
"Bang! Bang!"
The giant black python's scarlet eyes stared fixedly at everyone present. Its enormous body was constantly struggling in the pool, causing a huge amount of energy to surge into the sky. Its ferocious aura pressured everyone present to the point they couldn't breathe.
To the enormous pitch-black python, it had never seen such a large amount of blood food before.
Boundless desire surged into its chaotic mind, and it caused it to struggle madly in an attempt to break free from the shackles of the chains and devour all the food present here.
