Chapter 176: Traveling to the Dark Abyss
"The messenger from the underworld? Inviting everyone to a banquet?"

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but remained calm on the surface and said, "Please tell me in detail, brother."

The young man looked at Lu Yan strangely. The matter of the messenger from the underworld had been a hot topic recently. Everyone who was related to the Li family rushed to Luocheng, hoping to seek some opportunities at this critical juncture.

He saw that Lu Yan had an extraordinary demeanor, and the city he was going to was Luocheng, which was under the jurisdiction of the Li family. He thought that Lu Yan was related to the Li family and wanted to seek refuge there, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

But Lu Yan had never heard of the matter of the messenger from the underworld, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the Li family. This made the young man's mind suddenly fade away, and he just responded casually:
“Although the Li family had some connection with the underworld gods and ghosts before and received rewards from them, they were never officially recognized by the underworld.

The so-called ghostly Li family is just a title given to the Li family by various forces to intimidate the underworld. "

“When the underworld envoys came to the Li family, it meant that the underworld officially recognized the Li family’s position. This meant that the Li family truly became the underworld’s spokesperson in the mortal world and was qualified to sit on equal footing with the thousand-year-old aristocratic families that controlled the dynasty.

By then, the entire Hezhou will be in the hands of the Li family. What a supreme honor this is!"

Just as the young warrior was sighing, a dangerous light flashed in Lu Yan's slightly narrowed eyes.

Others may not know about the so-called messenger from the underworld, but how could Lu Yan not know?

As the lord of the underworld and the controller of the source of the underworld, Lu Yan can be sure that he has not sent out any so-called messengers from the underworld.

In this case, the Li family's actions seem very suspicious.

"Li Hao is not a fool. It has only been less than half a year since I displayed my divine power in the urban version. Logically, the residual power should still be there.

But the Li family took the initiative to create a so-called messenger from the underworld, and then spread the news to the world to entertain people everywhere. Aren’t they afraid of the wrath of the underworld if they know the truth? "

"Is the Li family trying to build momentum? Or do they have other intentions?"

Lu Yan fell into deep thought, his eyes becoming increasingly deep.

This matter reveals something unusual, and you must think twice before doing anything.

With this problem, the original plan to go directly to the Li family in the name of the messenger from the underworld and let Li Hao help him hide the true method was undoubtedly declared bankrupt.

Before finding out the details of this messenger from the underworld who suddenly appeared, Lu Yan could not easily show up in public, so as not to fall into some trap.

After Lu Yan fell into deep thought, the young warrior who had been excited before also calmed down a little, and the scale beast carriage shook as it drove towards the direction of Luo City.

It was unknown how much time had passed. As the scale beast carriage shook violently, Lu Yan, who was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, slowly opened his eyes.

The people inside the carriage were also awakened by the violent shaking. They looked outside the carriage in confusion, with fear in their eyes.

On the contrary, the people in the caravan were quite calm, and some were running back and forth around the caravan, shouting loudly:

“Don’t worry, everyone. It’s my human race’s ancestor who is traveling. Just stay in the car.

If you have not practiced the true Dharma, do not look out the window, lest you be affected by the Dao rhyme."

Hearing this, the young warrior seemed to have heard some good news, and quickly lifted the car curtain and looked out the window.

The rest of the people in the carriage skillfully took out a packet of medicine from their arms, poured it into their mouths, closed their eyes, and fell asleep in the carriage.

This strange phenomenon immediately aroused Lu Yan's curiosity. He did not use his spiritual sense to test it, but looked at the outside world through the curtain opened by the young warrior.

I saw a giant as tall as a mountain walking slowly on the plain more than ten miles away. Its body seemed to be made up of countless huge stones. Every step it took made the earth tremble. It was the source of the previous earthquake.

At the side of the mountain giant, a huge crocodile demon was crawling forward. Its scaly body was a hundred feet long and covered with dark green moss.

The two demons were pulling an ancient bronze coffin together, which glowed with an eerie bronze color under the moonlight. The bronze coffin was wrapped in thick chains, and each link of the chain made a dull collision sound, and each sound seemed to strike everyone's heart, and their hearts beat up and down with the collision sound.

Such a strange scene made Lu Yan terrified.

Whether it is the mountain giant or the crocodile monster, they all have an aura comparable to that of a Golden Elixir True Man.

The ancient bronze coffin they were pulling had an aura as deep as the ocean, carrying an indescribable feeling of oppression.

"The Abyss Realm?"

Lu Yan made a guess in his mind, but suddenly heard a roar coming from the caravan.

I saw a true martial artist in the Transcendent Realm standing outside, his eyes fixed on the bronze coffin that exuded the breath of the abyss, and the flesh beneath his skin kept wriggling like a worm.

Every time the flesh and blood changed, his body would swell several points like a balloon. The body size of a normal person would quickly become that of a fat man as the flesh and blood squirmed, and the flesh and blood on his belly would almost be blown to the ground.

Although experiencing the pain of flesh and blood alienation, this transcendental warrior did not show the slightest worry on his face. Instead, he was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

"I'm done!"

"I've done it!" Seeing this, the other people in the caravan cast envious glances at him. Even the Soul Burial warrior at the early stage who was in charge of the caravan couldn't help but exclaimed:

"It is truly a blessing to be able to see the ancestor traveling in the Transcendent Realm."

At the entrance of the carriage where Lu Yan was, the young warrior also said with envy:
"Legend has it that the cultivation level of the Dark Abyss Patriarch is so high that his body is almost the same as the Dao. To observe the Dark Abyss Patriarch's body is to face the Dao directly.

We, the mortal warriors, need to shed our mortal bodies before we can reach the realm of soul burial. During this period, we don't know how many times we need to comprehend the true law and how many precious resources we need to consume before we can completely shed our mortal bodies.

This guy is really lucky. Just by watching the trip of the Nether Abyss Patriarch, he was able to completely complete his transformation. Now he only needs to work hard to enter the Soul Burial Realm. This can be considered a step to heaven. "

Lu Yan had a strange look on his face. With his vision, he could naturally see that the so-called transcendence was to let oneself actively accept the pollution of the Great Dao.

Doing so can indeed bring you closer to the Tao, and even help you comprehend the true meaning of the Tao after being promoted, but doing so is undoubtedly like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Only this group of demonic warriors can do such a thing.

The true martial artist who completed his transformation into a human-shaped mountain of flesh stood in place, and the others around him came forward to congratulate him.

Even the young warrior in Lu Yan's carriage came over. No one paid any attention to the young warrior at all. After all, his cultivation level at the early stage of Transcendental Realm was considered the lowest even in the entire caravan.

What's more, the young warrior's degree of alienation is too low. Only the few fish scales on his face are barely better than those of ordinary people.

Many experienced martial artists could tell at a glance that what the young martial artist was practicing was not the true method, but a false method created by imitating the true method that was not qualified to be listed on the True Method List of Heaven and Earth. He only had the form of a demon but could not connect to the great way of Heaven and Earth.

After the encounter, the young warrior who had asked for trouble came back angrily not long after, cursing and muttering:

"He's just a fellow practicing the Meat Mountain Method, why is he pretending to be so great?

The Flesh Mountain Method is ranked after the ten thousandth on the Heaven and Earth True Method List. The last time it was practiced in the world, the number of people practicing it exceeded twenty thousand.

The inferior avenue that 20,000 people are fighting for, even if you are promoted, you will never be able to comprehend the true meaning of the avenue in this lifetime."

After lifting the car curtain, the young warrior noticed Lu Yan who remained awake, and his expression suddenly became guilty.

The man who just completed the transformation will definitely be promoted to a true warrior of the Soul Burial Realm in the future. It would be fine if he cursed him in private, but Lu Yan was present now. If he exposed his cursing, he would definitely be in trouble.

Lu Yan calmly pretended not to hear anything and prepared to close his eyes again.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the camp.

The young warrior and Lu Yan immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see three warriors who were also trying to use the pollution of the avenue to complete their transformation exploded to pieces, their flesh and bones splattering everywhere, piercing several carriages.

One of the hearts even fell directly in front of the carriage they were riding in. The red and black heart continued to beat even after being separated from the body. The remaining blood vessels supporting the heart seemed to be turning into tentacles and wriggling away.

The young warrior showed surprise on his face. He grabbed the heart and stuffed it into his clothes, then looked around furtively.

But right now, the caravan was dealing with the carriages that were smashed by the corpse fragments and the injured people, and they didn't notice the young warrior's small movements at all, which made the young warrior secretly happy.

He carefully held up the beating heart. The other ordinary people in the car were still unconscious, and it was obvious that the effect of the drug had not yet worn off.

Only Lu Yan opened his eyes and looked at the violently beating heart.

The young warrior looked hesitant. Lu Yan was just an ordinary man. Logically speaking, a few threats would make him behave himself and keep silent.

But every time he felt ill will towards Lu Yan, he always felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness, as if his conscience was reminding him that he should not do this.

"Alas, it is not a real demon after all."

The young warrior sighed in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

“This heart has obviously completed the transformation and escaped from the human body. Since you have seen it, I will give you a share.

Make good use of this heart to help you transcend the ordinary world and find a true method. You may have the opportunity to become a true martial artist in the future."

At this point, the young warrior added with caution: "But I took this heart, so my share must be the largest. Don't even think about splitting it equally."

A weird look appeared on Lu Yan's face. He didn't expect that this guy had so much inner drama.

After a moment's thought, he extended his index finger and gently tapped the young warrior's heart.

The next moment, a hideous and distorted face began to appear on the heart that was beating violently, with its mouth wide open and an extremely crazy expression, as if it was about to choose someone to devour.

The young warrior's right hand trembled, and he almost dropped the heart in his hand onto the floor.
