Time flew by, and ten days later.
Mu Mengyi maneuvered the spirit vessel, arriving above the blood-red lake.
Tan Yun closed his eyes and focused, releasing a spiritual sense that nearly reached the fifth layer of the divine soul realm, covering a radius of seven thousand five hundred miles below.
He meticulously inspected every corner of this area, ultimately confirming that there was no illusion array set up within the seven thousand five hundred miles.
The Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape replied with certainty, “Master, there is no one within a radius of thirty thousand miles.”
“Hmm.” Tan Yun nodded and turned to the others, “Now we need to enter the lake, everyone stay alert!”
After the instruction, Tan Yun looked at Mu Mengyi and said, “I will maneuver the spirit vessel.”
“Okay!” Mu Mengyi agreed readily.
“Splash!”
Tan Yun maneuvered the spirit vessel, riding the waves as it sailed into the vast lake, gradually slowing down as it descended towards the bottom...
Ten thousand feet... One hundred thousand feet... Until they reached a depth of one million feet, the group still had not detected any demon beasts in the lake. It was exceptionally silent.
In the pitch-black waters, visibility was limited to a thousand feet, but spiritual sense was not obstructed.
Although everyone saw that there were no living creatures in the lifeless waters, the presence of the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape on the spirit vessel gave them a little more courage.
“There’s no need to panic, everyone,” Tan Yun assured, “The lake waters are mixed with the blood of various gods, causing demon beasts to subconsciously avoid this lake, which is why there are no living creatures here.”
Hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.
A day later, Tan Yun maneuvered the spirit vessel and had arrived at the bottom of the lake.
The Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape spoke up, “Master, two thousand eight hundred miles to the east, there is a chasm.”
“Hmm, let’s go take a look.” Tan Yun maneuvered the spirit vessel as they sped through the lake bottom...
After flying over the two thousand eight hundred miles of water, they hovered above a deep chasm.
Tan Yun looked down and saw a chasm that was several hundred miles wide and unfathomably deep.
The chasm was dark and terrifying, and there were no signs of life emanating from within.
After checking the map jade tablet and confirming that the ancient well of inheritance was inside, he slowly maneuvered the spirit vessel down into the chasm.
It felt like they were entering a region of doom, eerie and foreboding!
“How terrifying...” Xue Ziyan shrank her neck, involuntarily gripping Tan Yun’s robe sleeve as her body trembled.
Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi held hands, standing behind Tan Yun.
On the spirit vessel were his partners, Huangfu Tingfeng and Ke Xinyi; Jun Bu Ping and Shangguan Bingbing; Baili Longtian and Xiao Qingxuan, all holding hands, looking tense.
Over a thousand female disciples from the Five Lineages were also holding hands, glancing around nervously.
At that moment, except for Tan Yun, everyone’s hair stood on end.
“Roar!”
The Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape looked down disdainfully at everyone, never shedding its mischievous monkey traits. Suddenly, it let out a loud roar, startling everyone on the spirit vessel!
Tan Yun was also frightened, turning abruptly, “Old Ape, what’s wrong?”
Everyone looked at the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape.
Scratching its head, the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape grinned, “Master, there’s nothing wrong. I just felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so I roared to lighten it up.”
Most people glared at the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape, daring to be angry but not saying anything.
“Damn it!” Tan Yun pointed at the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape, speechless, “If you keep startling everyone like this, do you believe I’ll smack you?”
“Uh uh uh…” The Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape was taken aback, “Master, I understand my mistake.”
In the face of this scene, the tense atmosphere among the crowd was indeed relieved. Just as everyone let out a silent sigh of relief, the Heavenly Slayer Demon Ape’s body suddenly surged a thousand meters in size, looking down at the chasm with a fierce gaze, and bellowed, “Brat, get lost!”
