Chapter 1254: Quicksand Wind Waterfall Center
"Not good!" Tangyu secretly exclaimed in his heart. He hadn't expected the Fifth Prince to deal with Kafu's group of five so easily. As a result, the opponent's power increased dramatically.
"Die for me!"
The Fifth Prince, Kafu, and his men all wore vicious expressions and were determined to kill. Nearly twenty people simultaneously attacked Tangyu and his companion. The overwhelming numerical advantage immediately plunged Tangyu and his companion into a desperate situation. A destructive force of immense power surged from all directions, vast and mighty. Faced with such momentum, Tangyu was well aware that they couldn't possibly withstand it. If they fought head-on, he feared that just one strike would spell his death.
Even with the Divine Demon Body Refinement, Tangyu couldn't guarantee he could block it.
What to do?
Fight head-on?
No, no, Tangyu's intuition told him that fighting head-on was absolutely not an option, otherwise there was only death. The only way out now was to rush into the Quicksand Wind Waterfall, regardless of the dangers inside, it was the only choice.
"Brother Monkey, let's go." Tangyu tugged at Sun Wukong, who also understood the perilous situation at hand and knew there was no other path. Thus, without any hesitation, the two of them dove straight into the Quicksand Wind Waterfall. As soon as they rushed in, they felt a wave of destructive power engulf them, surrounding them instantly. Encapsulated by this power, Tangyu and his companion immediately felt as if they'd fallen into a black hole.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!
Tangyu immediately felt his entire body being torn apart by this destructive force, as if it were about to explode. The fearsome power was capable of swallowing him whole. Sun Wukong fared no better; in a mere instant, they were turned into bloodied figures, their bodies on the verge of collapse. They had not yet achieved Seeking Immortal and could not be reborn from a drop of blood; if their physical bodies were destroyed, there was no way to survive.
Within this Quicksand Wind Waterfall, even souls could be devoured.
The Quicksand Wind Waterfall, one of the most terrifying dangers of the Flowing Sand River, was so exceedingly dangerous that one would steer clear if they encountered it.
"Not good, they've entered the Quicksand Wind Waterfall!" The Fifth Prince exclaimed, and they rushed forward, but unfortunately, Tangyu and Sun Wukong had already entered it: "Damn, they were forced into the Quicksand Wind Waterfall, how ruthless."
"Hmph, Fifth Prince, this is your doing. Now they've escaped. If they die in the Quicksand Wind Waterfall, we won't get the Immortal Vein either," Kafu said angrily.
The Fifth Prince replied gloomily, "You can't blame me for that, we couldn't stop them. By entering the Quicksand Wind Waterfall, they are certainly doomed. Now we have to consider how to enter the waterfall to snatch the Immortal Vein."
An elder of the Yao Race volunteered bravely: "Let this Yao see how formidable this Quicksand Wind Waterfall is." Saying this, the elder entered the waterfall, but as soon as he rushed in, he let out a blood-curdling scream. In an instant, he was torn to pieces by the waterfall, turned into blood and flesh, and then devoured. The death of a Ninth Layer Zifu Realm Great Demon elicited a twitch in the eyes of others.
The Fifth Prince, too, grew cold and somber: "The horror of this Quicksand Wind Waterfall is indeed as the rumors say. We mustn't act rashly, or we'll just send ourselves to our deaths. They've been inside for so long; they're likely already dead. I think we should report this matter up top, and see if there's a strategy to retrieve the Immortal Vein from the waterfall. Although we didn't seize the Immortal Vein, reporting this might merit great merit when those above send someone to find the Immortal Vein."
Kafu still felt aggrieved, replying crossly, "Now we can only do that."
Within the waterfall, Tangyu and Sun Wukong were enveloped by the force, being torn apart and consumed, on the brink of being shredded. With Divine Demon Body Refinement, Tangyu's body was far sturdier than that of a Qi Refinement practitioner. Sun Wukong was a natural spiritual being, born of heaven and earth, and his body strength was akin to ancient Divine Demons, even surpassing Tangyu in strength. Thus, the waterfall's attempt to shred their bodies was no easy task.
"Am I going to die? The power growing stronger, my body losing control, I barely have the strength to resist. Could it be, is this the final calamity?" Tangyu felt a tinge of desolation in his heart, contemplating such an unjust death.
However, a resolute belief surged within his heart—he absolutely could not die here, he mustn't.
Yet, the waterfall's force was gradually devouring Tangyu's life force, and he could feel it slipping away. He resisted with all his might, but also felt the struggle couldn't last long. At this rate, it wouldn't be much longer before he perished.
In this World of the Gods, there wasn't even an opportunity to call on his Master for help.
By agreement, a Seeking Immortal existence couldn't enter the World of the Gods.
"I cannot die, I absolutely cannot die. My dreams, my pursuits, my family, my lover, and my friends on Earth—they all await me, I'm not done yet, how can I die? How can I die?"
"I've overcome all the hardships along the way, this time, I'll definitely make it through."
Buzz——
The Pangu Axe suddenly emitted a humming sound, a beam of golden light shot out, instantly enveloping Tangyu, alleviating much of Tangyu's pressure. His vitality was stabilized and didn't continue to dwindle. This feeling gave Tangyu a sense of rebirth.
On Sun Wukong's side, his Jingu Bang also burst forth with a golden light, weakening the power of the wind waterfall significantly. The two beams of golden light encapsulated Tangyu and Sun Wukong, protecting them. Within the wind waterfall, they had no idea where they were drifting. The wind waterfall was like a massive black hole, consuming everything, and returning everything to its origin.
After who knows how long, Tangyu felt himself being flung out, his body heavily hitting the ground. Everything finally felt calm, and upon inspection, Tangyu realized he was in a small enclosed space. It was only about a hundred meters in range, and the surrounding area was a barrier of wind waterfall, blocking everything, appearing incredibly terrifying.
Looking around, Tangyu was somewhat surprised: "Is this the center of the wind waterfall? I've actually arrived at its center?"
Tangyu's gaze fell on Sun Wukong, it was a shocking sight, what he saw was not his monkey brother, but a blood-soaked figure, with flesh completely inverted, even the white bones could be seen, there wasn't a trace of Sun Wukong's former glory. But Tangyu realized he was no better off, also a bloody figure, able to see his own bones.
With his level of strength and undergoing Divine Demon Body Refinement, for his body to be destroyed like this, one can only imagine how terrifying the wind waterfall was.
If not for the power emitted by the Pangu Axe and the Jingu Bang, Tangyu and Sun Wukong would surely have died in the quicksand wind waterfall.
Tangyu couldn't help but pick up the Pangu Axe and inspect it again. This was the second time the Pangu Axe displayed its might, truly extraordinary. Tangyu increasingly felt that the Pangu Axe was no simple object, likely containing some unknown secrets. Indeed, it was worthy of being the possession of Pangu Immortal Venerate.
Just surviving was already a blessing.
"Monkey brother, let's not worry about too much now, let's focus on recovering our injuries." Tangyu said, as he waved his hand and took out the Immortal Vein. With the assistance of the Immortal Vein, healing naturally had miraculous effects.
Sun Wukong didn't hold back, immediately cultivating, exclaiming, "Such dense immortal qi, what kind of treasure is this? It possesses such rich immortal qi. Tsk tsk, a chunk so big, it's truly priceless. No wonder those Yao Race and demons were after you."
"This is an Immortal Vein, worth a fortune, even Immortal Venerates would covet such a treasure. Let's not dwell on this, let's cultivate." Tangyu said.
Tangyu considered Sun Wukong as a life-and-death brother, so he generously took out the Immortal Vein to share with Sun Wukong, this kind of peerless object normally wouldn't be shared with others. This Immortal Crystal, even a piece the size of a palm, was worth a fortune.
Effectively utilizing this Immortal Vein, it could easily lead one to the Seeking Immortal Realm.
An Immortal Vein could effortlessly create a seeker of the Seeking Immortal realm.
After three full days, Tangyu and Sun Wukong returned to normal, eliminating their destitute state. Over the three days, besides healing injuries, they also aided their cultivation. Cultivating with the Immortal Vein naturally had incredible effects. Over three days, Tangyu actually managed to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Zifu Realm. Of course, he had previously reached the brink of breakthrough, coupled with this life-and-death ordeal, hence achieving the Fourth Layer of the Zifu Realm in one go.
Currently, Tangyu was at the Fourth Layer of the Zifu Realm, early stage of Fifth Layer Divine Demon Body Refinement, equivalent to the Fifth Layer of the Zifu Realm. His realm had indeed improved significantly.
Sun Wukong was equally pleased, as he too managed to break through to the Sixth Layer of the Zifu Realm, having been at the Fifth Layer previously, this breakthrough significantly increased his strength.
"Haha, it truly is a great treasure, just three days is enough to allow me, old Sun, to break through to the Sixth Layer of the Zifu Realm. Very good, very good, this Immortal Vein hasn't diminished much, which means as long as we're willing to spend time cultivating, we can completely continue to enhance our realms. Tsk tsk, a good thing, a good thing, no wonder those people tried so desperately." Sun Wukong was in a very good mood.
Tangyu waved his hand and first put away the Immortal Vein, saying, "Indeed, the Immortal Vein is a peerless object, rumored to be from the Immortal Realm. Such an immortal object truly has infinite uses. As long as we are willing to spend time cultivating, utilizing this Immortal Vein, it's completely possible for us to break through to the Seeking Immortal Realm. However, for now, let's not blindly cultivate, let's check out this eerie place first. I have a bad feeling about here."
Sun Wukong nodded, he too felt very uneasy about this place.
Tangyu seriously inspected the surroundings, researching this place. This was completely the core of the wind waterfall, like the center of a black hole, here it was calm, but the surroundings were turbulent and overwhelming. They almost lost half their lives coming in, going out would be even more challenging. The current issue before Tangyu was how to leave here.
