At first glance, it seemed unremarkable. But as one ventured deeper, it became increasingly solid, pressing against the bodies of those who dared to enter, causing them great discomfort. 。Within this layer, one could occasionally hear some chilling roars, coming from near and far, it was unclear whether the roars were from humans or beasts. 。Perhaps within this dark and eerie tomb, fallen human cultivators have become indistinguishable from beasts. 。"A spirit of the tomb!" The purple-green monkey demon, who pierced through the clouds first, roared, its body swelling to over three zhang, directly colliding with a skeletal beast that was five or six zhang long and covered in rocks on its back. 。This barren stone beast had vacant eyes, ragged breathing, and an aura of murderous malice all over its body. 。Two eyes, bigger than fists, with a piercing blue light, were extremely terrifying. 。Its limbs were planted firmly on the ground, and its body, as massive as a small hill, was about the same size as the purple-blue ape demon after it had inflated. However, trailing behind it was a tail over six zhang long. 。The tail gradually tapered toward the end, but at the very tip, there was a sphere larger than a human head. It was covered in numerous sharp stones, resembling a colossal spiked mace. 。The Ziqing Ape Demon was currently clashing with the barren stone beast, Dingniu. The thick tendons on its body writhed like earthworms, and its concentrated demonic aura and blood energy surged into the sky. 。On those massive ape-like hands, a pair of purple and gold boxing gloves had already been donned. 。He held firm against the sharp horns of the stone beast, giving not an inch. However, the Purple-Green Monkey Demon had been expending its blood essence force day and night during the alchemy process. Now, in this contest of strength with the Stone Beast, it was gaining no advantage whatsoever. 。The mighty demonic body was rapidly retreating. 。“Beastly thing, don’t be arrogant!” Xing Hu, a demon cultivator among the five cultivators, had his fur bristling. With a wave of his hand, a dark-black wolf tooth club accompanied by a tiger roar struck directly at the withered beast’s right front leg. 。Seeing Xing Hu come to his aid, Zi Qing Yuan Yao slightly relaxed. Although Xing Hu's strength was far inferior to his own, and they had no prior relationship, everyone here was not at their full strength. In this situation, it was natural to band together if they wanted to survive in this perilous and dark Demon Tomb. 。As Xing Hu's pitch-black wolf fang staff was about to hit the lean stone beast's thick leg, a sharp shriek pierced the air. 。Xing Hu's eyes caught a glimpse of a black shadow sweeping through the air. He didn't have time to look closely, so he adjusted his wolf tooth club and slammed it into the shadow. 。A violent explosion sounded, and Xing Hu's burly body, along with his wolf fang club, soared into the air. It crashed into a small hill in the distance, knocking down several trees thicker than a few people could embrace before finally creating a deep hole in the hill. 。The Purple-Green Ape Demon was startled, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that the hammer on the Lean Stone Beast's tail had directly smashed Xinghu away. 。"Fear not, ape brother!" The three-eyed savage beast stretched out its hand and flung a golden spear which shot forth like lightning, striking the tail of the thrown stone hammer just as it was about to land. 。With a deafening clang, the golden spear recoiled, and the momentum of the stone hammer attack was also relieved. However, although the three-eyed snarl lion beast caught the Snarl Golden Spear, its body was sent flying dozens of meters into the air before it managed to stop. 。At this time, the Skeletal Stone Beast forcefully lifted its head, and the Violet-Green Ape Demon could no longer hold on. Its body was directly lifted by the opponent. The Violet-Green Ape Demon's body rolled several times in mid-air to stabilize its figure. At the same time, it turned its palm over and sacrificed a thick crimson short whip. With a strike into the void, several sharp whip shadows like splitting mountains aimed at the Skeletal Stone Beast's head. 。The emaciated stone beast lowered its head, the stone spikes on its back arched, and several were suddenly shot out, colliding with the heavy whip shadow falling from above. The violent impact suppressed the surrounding azure space, making it seem like it was about to distort. 。<<>>。At the same time, two gigantic fire hammers hung in mid-air. 。Trailing a long fiery tail, it managed to repel even the Purple-Green Ape Demon and the Three-Eyed Sum lion beast. As for that Xing Tiger, it was directly swatted into the small mountain by a single flick of its tail and is still recovering. 。The wild boar demon, naturally couldn't do anything to the barren stone beast with these two hammers. The whole person, no, the whole pig also flew backwards, only to be caught by Lu Xiaoteng's outstretched hand and held back, avoiding a fate like that of Xing Hu. 。A gigantic halberd descended, striking the lean stone beast on its back. It took four consecutive attacks to finally halt the assault of the Lean Stone Beasts wielded by these demonic cultivators. 。“This Scanty Stone Demon is truly formidable. Even the fully grown ones outside aren't this terrifying, most likely it has been warped after absorbing years of tomb evil qi.” 。“Xing Hu had crawled out of the hole he’d smashed, wiping blood from his mouth.” 。With a fierce expression, they surrounded the emaciated stone beast: Ziqing the monkey demon, Sanda the three-eyed lion beast, Zhuqi the wild boar demon, and Lü Xiaotian, forming a fan shape. 。“Lu Xiong, we are both depleted of energy right now and shouldn’t engage them for too long. Let’s find a place to recover first, how about that?” The Three-Eyed Sumatran Rhino Beast and the Purple-Green Monkey Demon were acquainted, after exchanging glances they sought Lu Xiaofeng's opinion, as for the Wild Boar Demon and Xing Hu, the two weakest in strength, they were naturally ignored. 。“Well, but I'd better get rid of this emaciated Stone Beast first.” 。Let's fight while retreating. 。Lu Xia Tian nodded. In fact, Lu Xia Tian's consumption wasn't much, and he could constantly draw on the purple threads within the barrier, which was Yuanci power, to recover. 。It's also a good opportunity to get familiar with the environment of this demon tomb. 。

　　Lu Xiaotien had a certain degree of reliance, but after entering this dark and eerie tomb, his divine sense was suppressed much more than the outside world. Although the detection distance was slightly farther than that of a cultivator in the Divine Void realm, it wasn't much stronger. The power of his blood essence within him was also faintly suppressed. Originally, after absorbing the power of Yuanci, he had escaped part of the constraints of heaven and earth. Now, that feeling of constraint returned.

。No wonder the combined cultivators couldn't enter the Dark Demon Domain, it seems there's a reason for it. 。Even if one managed to enter the Abyssal Demon Domain through some magical artifact, their法力和元神 would be suppressed. Their strength would plummet drastically, and they would still face a high risk of death. They could even be attacked by cultivators at the Divine Void Realm, making it extremely easy to perish. 。To lower oneself to a level comparable to the Divine Void, risking one's life to force their way in, is a choice that only a madman would make. 。Above his head there was a blue light source, similar to the sun, emitting a glow brighter than blue, illuminating the ground in wisps. 。Within this blue ethereal light, there were traces of tomb evil spirit, relentlessly trying to burrow into his body. Lu Xia Tian had no choice but to circulate the internal energy and blood essence power within him to resist. If the tomb evil power accumulated too much, affecting his primordial spirit, he might very well become like those tomb spirits. 。
