Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 632 I'm coming out!
Following Yan Chixia's compass, the Zhongzhou team arrived at a dark valley crevice.

A chilling mist kept billowing out of the crack, and a mournful wind could be faintly heard coming from the depths.

"Is this the entrance to the underworld?" Zheng Zha peered into the crack, his enhanced vampire eyesight unable to see clearly beyond three meters. "It's not quite what I imagined."

Fang Yu played with the restored golden Buddha and said casually, "Strictly speaking, this is just a gap in the spirit world occupied by the Black Mountain Demon. It's still a long way from the real underworld."

After all, he really went there.

As everyone stepped into the crevice one by one, they immediately felt dizzy and disoriented.

When their vision returned, the scene before them stunned everyone.

Blood-red clouds drifted in the gray sky, and the outline of distorted mountains could be vaguely seen in the distance.

The ground was an eerie dark purple, and stepping on it would create ripples.

The most bizarre thing was that countless tiny specks of light floated in the air, flickering like fireflies.

"This place," Zhan Lanqing's pale zombie face showed confusion, "is like Silent Hill?"

Suddenly, a joyful erhu tune drifted from afar.

The melody was clearly "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," a song commonly used in weddings, but in this eerie environment, every note carried an indescribable sinister quality.

"Holy crap!" Sepi jumped, nearly leaping out of his skin. "This music is way too creepy to play here!"

Following the music, the group moved forward and, after rounding a twisted grove of dead trees, the sight before them made the newcomers' legs go weak.

Hundreds of round tables were set up on the open flat ground, and a large group of "people" were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

They were dressed in all sorts of funeral clothes, some with bluish-purple skin, and some with scars on their faces from before their death.

On the front table, there were even several bloody human heads, placed in the center as decorations.

"This...this is..." Wang Hu's teeth began to chatter.

Just then, a ghost who was picking up food suddenly stopped and turned around.

Immediately afterwards, all the hundreds of ghosts in the room stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in unison!

"Ah!" Su Rui screamed and collapsed to the ground.

The ghosts' eyes were empty and greedy, like hungry wolves eyeing fresh meat.

Zhou Mingxuan instinctively hid behind Fang Yu, but Zheng Zha grabbed him, saying, "Don't panic! They're just small fry!"

Fang Yu weighed the golden Buddha in his hand, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips: "It seems we've arrived just in time, catching the Black Mountain Demon's wedding banquet."

As soon as the words were spoken, the ghosts at the nearest tables stood up, their mouths stretched to their ears, revealing jagged, sharp teeth.

The festive music suddenly turned into mournful dirge, and a chilling wind swept through the entire "wedding banquet" venue!
"Trying to scare me?"

Fang Yu burst out laughing when he saw the appearance of these little devils.

Even disregarding the fact that he possessed the Thunder Fruit and the power of the Thunder God from the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, Li Yingqi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, alone would have been enough to eliminate these ghosts.

"Sky Strike Sword!"

Li Yingqi lightly raised her slender fingers, and the Heavenly Strike Sword was drawn from its sheath. The sword gleamed with a cold, clear light as she softly recited the Xuanyuan Sword Manual taught to her by Yan Chixia: "Heaven and Earth are boundless, borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth!"

The Heavenly Sword transformed into a golden streak of light and shot into the horde of ghosts, cutting through everything in its path like a hot knife through oil.

As the sword flashed, more than ten ghosts were instantly torn to pieces, their bluish-purple blood evaporating into wisps of black smoke before it could even splatter.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Su Rui's eyes widened, and she instinctively gripped Zhan Lan beside her. "I've hardly ever seen Sister Yingqi in action."

Zheng Zha gazed at the Heavenly Sword traversing the horde of ghosts, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

He looked down at the dagger in his hand. His combat strength, which had once been second only to Fang Yu in the team, now seemed so insignificant.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed with a blood-red light, and he charged into the horde of ghosts! "Me too!" Sepi yelled, following closely behind. His Desert Eagle, blessed by a yellow talisman, shot down a ghost with a single shot, then suddenly shouted with delight, "This ghost is worth 10 reward points!"

Upon hearing that there would be reward points, everyone couldn't sit still.

Zhao Yingkong wielded the Netherfire Fangs in two ways, weaving through the ghosts, while Wang Hu wielded a large hammer, smashing things around.

Zhan Lan originally had no offensive capabilities, but now that she's become a zombie, she can still rack up some points by bouncing around.

Fang Yu, holding the golden Buddha, watched with great interest as everyone displayed their unique abilities.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ghosts had been slaughtered, leaving only smoldering limbs scattered on the ground.

Zheng Zha, panting heavily, sheathed his dagger. Looking at the numbers flashing on his wristwatch, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

In that battle just now, he fought with all his might but only got 380 points, while Li Yingqi's casual sword strike was several times that amount.
"We need to step up our efforts! Let's work hard to unlock the third-order gene lock!" Zheng Zha patted his chest, then suddenly thought of a question.

"Team Leader, when are you going to unlock your Tier 4 gene lock?"

"You're asking me?" Fang Yu pointed at himself. "Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Then forget I asked."

Suddenly, Seppi looked into the distance and exclaimed, "What's that?! What's that?!"

Suddenly, a group of eerie paper figures floated out from the gray fog in the distance!

Dressed in deathly white burial clothes, with exaggeratedly painted cheeks and mouths stretched to their ears, they carried a blood-red sedan chair and came flying through the air.

The sedan curtain moved without wind, its vibrant color as if stained with blood, standing out starkly against the gray sky and earth.

"Playing tricks." Fang Yu sneered, and a blue ball of light with a diameter of two meters instantly condensed in his right palm. The strong wind generated by the high-speed rotation of chakra made his bangs bounce up.

"Senjutsu: Rasenshuriken!"

"Wait!" Yan Chixia hurriedly grabbed his wrist. "The female ghost you're trying to save might be inside!"

Without turning his head, Fang Yu slowly rotated the tomoe in his Rinne Sharingan: "My Observation Haki can see everything clearly; there's not a single hair in the sedan chair."

With that, he flicked his wrist, and the Rasengan flew out, drawing a dazzling blue streak in the air.

"boom!"

The moment the sedan chair exploded, paper scraps flew everywhere like snowflakes.

Just as Fang Yu had predicted, the sedan chair was empty, with only a few wisps of black smoke drifting out.

"Not good!" Yan Chixia's compass suddenly spun wildly, the needle snapping in two. His expression changed drastically: "We've fallen into a trap!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire ground suddenly trembled violently!
The "soil" beneath their feet began to ripple, and the dark purple soil rippled with eerie waves as countless skeletal arms burst forth from the ground!

"Holy crap!" Zheng Zha stared at the ground in a daze. "Is this entire ground covered in Black Mountain Demons?!"

As if in response to his exclamation, the "ground" within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly rose up, forming a blurry giant face.

The face had no features, only three dark holes that slowly opened towards the crowd.

The ground cracked open, and all the members of the Central Continent Team were sucked in!

"Welcome to my body."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu smiled.

"Then you're in for a lot of trouble!"

"My Monkey King taught me a lesson: No matter how powerful the enemy is, if they're inside your belly, all you can do is yell, 'Uncle, come out quickly! Ahhh~ Ahhh~'"

As he spoke, Fang Yu imitated Sun Wukong, "Sister-in-law, open your mouth, I'm coming out!"
