"Did something go wrong?"
Wushi Qianrou murmured anxiously.
She could sense at this moment, within the blood cocoon, Shen Chongxu’s aura was undergoing a strange transformation.
This peculiar change gave her a foreboding feeling.
In fact, Shen Chongxu’s situation was indeed not optimistic at that time.
His original intention was for Wushi Qianrou to help him break through to the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm with the aid of the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace.
But accompanied by the heart-devouring pain of a thousand insects, his consciousness gradually became blurred.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a blood-colored space.
Looking around, the entire space was filled with decayed limbs and broken arms!
The surroundings exuded a nauseating aura.
Standing alone in this bizarre space, Shen Chongxu frowned deeply.
He didn’t know where this place was, nor how he had gotten there, or how to exit.
The entire space was silent.
After surveying the surroundings for a long time, he cautiously took the first step, ready to find a way out.
Yet, he had walked an unknown distance within this blood-colored space, but the surroundings remained unchanged, as if the whole space was the same.
Shen Chongxu’s expression was very grave.
Pausing for a moment, his gaze settled on a humanoid skeleton that resembled a mountain range not far to his left!
After a slight hesitation, he forced himself to suppress the tremors from the depths of his soul and slowly moved towards it.
The position of the mountain range skeleton didn’t seem far, but Shen Chongxu felt he had walked for at least an hour before the mountain range skeleton appeared slightly larger, though still far away.
Clenching his teeth, Shen Chongxu did not stop and continued toward the skeleton.
This time, after an unknown amount of walking, he was surprised to find the skeleton had become as imposing as a true mountain range, sprawled across the dark red earth!
Shen Chongxu slowly raised his head, looking at the immense body before him that exuded endless pressure, his heart spirit trembling violently!
He used all his strength, trying to lift his foot one more step forward.
Yet, the pressure from the skeleton felt like a mountain bearing down on him!
Shen Chongxu felt as if this step was as difficult as crossing an entire world.
After numerous attempts, he never managed to take that step and could only sit cross-legged, resignedly observing the corpse from a hundred yards away.
This skeleton, in life, must have been over a thousand feet tall!
Such a terrifying height, yet so similar to a human, made Shen Chongxu find it unbelievable.
A thousand-foot-tall human clearly exceeded the limits of his knowledge.
The skull of the skeleton before him had been shattered, the fragments decayed and scattered not far away.
He was now facing the back of the skeleton.
The bronze skin of the skeleton was painted with strange totemic patterns, several horrifying wounds ran from the chest through to the back, through which one could see its abdominal organs.
After carefully examining it, Shen Chongxu found no special features and decided to circle around to the front of the skeleton.
In the desolate blood-colored space, Shen Chongxu, stepping over a disarray of bones, quickly arrived at the front of the skeleton.
The terrifying pressure still prevented him from getting within a hundred yards, making him only able to observe from afar.
In his boredom, a light mist suddenly rose within the blood-colored space.
The mist spread from all directions, enveloping Shen Chongxu’s surroundings by the time he noticed something amiss.
This strange mist gradually turned from its original color to a light red, then began shifting towards a blood red hue.
Within the mist, Shen Chongxu could sense something strange, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
An inexplicable instinct warned him to escape the mist, or he’d face great danger!
Meanwhile, on the second floor of Black Water Pavilion in Yunshui City.
Shen Yuan sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense Body staring gravely at the White Jade Turtle Shell within his Sea of Consciousness.
Just moments ago, the White Jade Turtle Shell suddenly issued an unprompted warning. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Such a strong warning had not occurred for a long time.
The last time was when his second brother, Shen Wenyan, encountered a Life and Death Tribulation in Danzhou, prompting a similar warning from the White Jade Turtle Shell.
Staring at the White Jade Turtle Shell glowing with intense red light, Shen Yuan thought briefly before directly applying some Power of Great Derivation to the Turtle Shell.
Instantly, a barrage of strange and terrifying images unfolded before him!
The images depicted an ancient and desolate land, where countless grand structures built of immense stones stood among the mountains and rivers.
Despite being mere projections, the primitive atmosphere that overwhelmed him left Shen Yuan deeply shaken.
Above this ancient land, there was a fearsome presence standing in the void.
This figure was surrounded by countless strange, dazzling expulsions, appearing both sacred and evil, utterly bizarre.
Below, among the ancient lands, countless gigantic figures, akin to mountain giants, wielded various primitive bone spears, bone sabers, and crude bronze weapons, looking up at the strange figure in the void, seemingly roaring in fury.
The chaotic images flickered, and Shen Yuan could only vaguely see that a terrifying battle erupted between the two sides, where that god-like figure was ultimately defeated.
Its body was shattered by those mountain-like figures, and its head was sculpted and honed into a bizarre vessel by one of the shaman-dressed figures among the mountain giant tribe.
The subsequent images became even more obscure and chaotic.
Shen Yuan held his breath, focusing all his Power of Great Derivation, and managed to barely see through the passage of time, observing that the shaman occasionally used the vessel made from the head to collect the blood of other beings.
Whenever the vessel was filled with blood, the shaman employed a certain Secret Skill, infusing that blood into the bodies of one or another tribe member.
The mountain giants receiving the blood would undergo some mysterious transformation in their forms amidst excruciating pain...
Shen Yuan was filled with doubt, unable to discern what relation the scenes he witnessed held with the White Jade Turtle Shell’s ominous warning.
After a brief ponder, he immediately withdrew his Divine Sense from the White Jade Turtle Shell, leveraging his deducing power to first identify which family junior was encountering this danger.
After a round of deductions, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Chongxu!?"
This was the result he least wished to see.
Because Shen Chongxu was currently far away in the Southern Border, and the family had no precise location for him.
Even if they wanted to rescue him, they would have to find him first.
With a heavy heart like a stone, Shen Yuan dove his Divine Sense back into the Sea of Consciousness.
"Can you assist this old man?"
"What exactly happened?"
He wanted to see if the White Jade Turtle Shell could offer any clearer direction, and whether it could help Shen Chongxu avert danger.
The White Jade Turtle Shell within the Sea of Consciousness continued to flicker with red light, seemingly unresponsive to Shen Yuan’s words.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan once again utilized the Power of Great Derivation to deduce his own solution.
This time, as soon as his Divine Sense touched the White Jade Turtle Shell, he felt a long-lost sensation of spatial displacement.
Once the kaleidoscopic scene vanished, he found himself standing in a vast chamber.
As his perspective shifted, Shen Yuan noticed an eerie blood cocoon standing by the bedside in the chamber!
The surface of the blood cocoon emitted an ominous red glow, extremely evil!
Not far from the blood cocoon stood a beautiful woman in a red dress with gold embroidery, her face full of anxiety and concern as she stared at the blood cocoon.
"Grandfather..."
A faint spiritual connection suddenly touched Shen Yuan’s Divine Sense.
"Chongxu?"
Though surprised at how Shen Chongxu sensed his presence in the Divine Sense state, Shen Yuan knew now wasn’t the time to dwell on it, so he replied in a deep voice.
"Grandfather, is that really you!?"
Shen Chongxu’s spiritual connection was tinged with excitement and delight, but soon turned to horror, "Grandfather, hurry and leave!"
"An evil presence is attempting to possess your grandson!"
"If I can sense you, so can it!"
Hearing Shen Chongxu’s exclamation, Shen Yuan’s heart sank abruptly!
