It is better to understand these so-called three disasters and seven calamities clearly, so that one can be prepared if they are encountered!
"The Seven Calamities are seven types of gregarious demonic beasts that live in the depths of the Demon Abyss."
"Such as the Blood Sand Scorpion, the Black Crystal Lizard Beast, the Ground-Drilling Demonic Insect, the Iron Mane Blood Boar Beast, the Six-Winged Blood Mosquito, the Hundred-Eyed Centipede, and the Ghost Butterfly Insect."
"Although the Three Disasters are terrifying, the number of people killed by them is actually not many, but it is the Seven Calamities that kill the most people."
As Bo La Tu spoke, a look of fear involuntarily appeared on his face.
Wu Tao's mind began to ponder as he heard this.
"It seems that this Demon Abyss is indeed a very dangerous place."
...
Seeing Wu Tao fall into deep thought after hearing his words, Bo La Tu became uneasy.
"Oh no, has this monk been scared away by what I just said?"
Just as Bo La Tu was muttering to himself and preparing to say something.
After a moment of thought, Wu Tao began to ask again, "Besides these, are there any other taboos?"
...
"Besides these, there is also the infighting among cultivators, and..."
After a moment's hesitation, Bo La Tu said, "Every time the Demon Abyss opens wide, the local Wu family, as well as the Mao, Pang, Xiong, and Ji families from the surrounding counties, these five second-rank families, are absolutely not to be provoked."
Hearing Bo La Tu say this, Wu Tao thought of the Wu family's way of doing things and nodded, saying, "I can tell that these second-rank families should be very overbearing in their conduct!"
"It's obvious that this Demon Abyss has long been regarded as their own territory by the super families of the surrounding counties."
"However, for various reasons, they haven't cordoned it off for exclusive use."
...
The story branches out.
On the other side.
The Wu family.
Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi sat in the main seats, looking at the severely injured Wu Li and Wu Wei, and sighed repeatedly.
Wu Shouyang rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "So, this time you two not only failed to bring the person back, but you were also seriously injured?"
Wu Li and Wu Wei lowered their heads in shame upon hearing this.
...
Wu Fengzi added, "According to the information investigated these past few days, that so-called alchemy master should have escaped long ago, and it would have been too late for us to make a move."
...
"We have no choice, we have to set our sights on that place now."
Wu Shouyang and Wu Fengzi exchanged glances and said in unison.
It turned out that the Wu family had discovered a spiritual aperture, a treasure of feng shui, in the Demon Abyss many years ago.
A top-tier feng shui treasure, if ancestors were buried in a spiritual aperture, the family could enjoy long-lasting luck.
...
Wu Shouyang said to the others, "The spiritual aperture in the Demon Abyss has been nurtured for who knows how many years, and the Mao, Pang, Xiong, and Ji families are all eyeing that spiritual aperture."
"For noble families, temporary prosperity is useless; only long-term and stable prosperity is the right way."
Speaking of this, Wu Shouyang's eyes clearly held a hint of complexity.
...
"The Chu family, which now rules the Chu domain, did they not rely on a spiritual aperture to maintain their prosperity for over a million years?"
...
"It's just that because of family reasons, Wu Fengzi and I cannot leave the Wu family's stronghold at the same time."
"The only fortunate thing is that the Mao, Ma, Pang, Xiong, and Ji families are all in the same situation."
"Wu Jian, Wu Jian, Wu Fengzi and I have discussed and decided to let you two take the clan-protecting blood demon corpse vine, which has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, to the Demon Abyss to compete for the spiritual aperture."
...
Five days later!
The Wu family, the Mao family, the Pang family, the Xiong family, the Ma family, the Ji family, and a large group of people from these six second-rank families, erected their family banners and marched towards the core region of the Demon Abyss.
...
In the rear, Wu Tao and Bo La Tu were mixed in with a group of panicked rogue cultivators, drifting with the flow.
...
A few days later, on the boundless and lifeless demon land, a faint voice of "Amitabha" could be heard from within.
"Vajra, subdue the demons, Scorpion, die!"
This voice was clearly Wu Tao's.
It turned out that not long ago, as Wu Tao and Bo La Tu were passing by a dirt mountain, a group of Blood Sand Scorpions living inside suddenly rushed out from the depths of the mountain.
They used their innate Blood Sand to ambush Wu Tao and Bo La Tu, intending to kill them all and feast on their remains.
Wu Tao, whose divine sense was greatly affected by the heavy demonic energy in the core region of the Demon Abyss, had not detected these Blood Sand Scorpions. After being ambushed by these venomous creatures, he became enraged.
Although these Blood Sand Scorpions had lived in the Demon Abyss for many years, their intelligence was not low. As soon as they saw Wu Tao's vigorous actions, they knew they were no match for him.
Under Wu Tao's fierce attack, hundreds of Blood Sand Scorpions, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, fled the scene and returned to their lair.
Whether Wu Tao and Bo La Tu were lucky or unlucky, they had not walked a few steps before encountering a large number of Black Crystal Lizard Beasts.
As they ventured deeper into the Demon Abyss, the land was not only barren but also filled with demonic winds carrying traces of blood, which would often form sandstorms and whirlwinds.
As these violent demonic winds raged, figures of demonic beasts would occasionally appear.
These demonic beasts were about ten feet in size, resembling lizards, with four legs, long tails, pointed mouths, and covered all over with black crystal-like scales.
Upon discovering Wu Tao and Bo La Tu, they extended a forked, scarlet tongue from their mouths, and a drop of black saliva dripped from the tongue. As it fell to the ground, a hissing sound immediately arose.
Seeing this, Wu Tao and Bo La Tu's pupils contracted. The ground had already been corroded, forming fist-sized pits.
Although their formidable nature could be seen from their appearance, their true prowess could only be revealed when they attacked.
Before Wu Tao and Bo La Tu could react, over a thousand Black Crystal Lizard Beasts charged forward with a rumble.
Sand and stones flew, and countless dust was stirred up. Facing such a terrifying impact, even Wu Tao had to avoid its edge.
Catching the king of the thieves, Wu Tao's divine sense swept out, and he immediately located the leader of these over a thousand Black Crystal Lizard Beasts.
With a single strike of the Colorless Sorrowful Palm, he directly turned the leader of the Black Crystal Lizard Beasts into a pile of bones.
After the death of their leader, the Black Crystal Lizard Beast pack did not retreat. Instead, they became as if boiling, filled with a silent rage in their hearts.
Sharp shrieks, like the cries of infants, erupted from the mouths of these Black Crystal Lizard Beasts.
Following this, the Black Crystal Lizard Beasts, unafraid of death, charged towards Wu Tao and Bo La Tu.
The charge of over a thousand Black Crystal Lizard Beasts together created the momentum of a massive army's charge.
Especially when the demonic winds raged and dust flew, Wu Tao and Bo La Tu could only fight and retreat, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
With roars, the over a thousand Black Crystal Lizard Beasts suddenly opened their sharp mouths and spat out streams of black venomous water that could corrode everything.
The poison in each stream of venomous water was enough to kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. When over a thousand Black Crystal Lizard Beasts spat venomous water at the same time, the power was like a rain of arrows covering the sky.
The power of this venomous water was so immense that even Wu Tao would die if he were hit by so many streams at once.
Therefore, Wu Tao threw out the Seven Treasures Kasaya, which transformed into a virtual Buddha realm, successfully blocking the tens of thousands of streams of venomous water.
Without giving these Black Crystal Lizard Beasts a chance to get close or spit venomous water again, Wu Tao, wielding the Vajra Subduing Demon Staff, moved at extreme speed, leaving behind trails of afterimages.
From the appearance of this pack of Black Crystal Lizard Beasts to Wu Tao killing over a hundred of them like playing whack-a-mole, the entire process took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The remaining Black Crystal Lizard Beasts finally gave up their stubbornness and scattered in all directions.
Wu Tao and Bo La Tu, and the others, traveled farther and farther. Deserts, gobis, forests, desolate mountains – what they saw along the way, besides desolation and silence, were demonic beasts mutated by demonic energy.
And along this journey, Wu Tao and Bo La Tu, a group of more than a dozen people, suffered casualties, with some dying and some disappearing. By this point, less than ten people remained.
In the depths of the Demon Abyss, not to mention vegetation, even high mountains and lakes had disappeared.
Under the erosion of demonic energy, most of the terrain would gradually be corroded and altered.
...
Wu Tao and Bo La Tu, and the others, arrived at another place.
On the dry land, not a blade of grass grew. It was covered with incomparably large pits. Upon closer inspection, their shapes clearly indicated they were the footprints left by monstrous beings.
Each footprint was several miles wide. These footprints were extremely dense, as if numerous demonic creatures had lived here. This scene was truly terrifying and made one's heart tremble.
Wu Tao and the others were also drawn to the scene on the ground.
As the incomparably large footprints fell into their eyes, even Wu Tao's expressionless face showed a look of astonishment.
With his composure, it was difficult not to be so taken aback by such a terrifying sight.
Could these be the footprints left by the Abyss Demon Race?
In legends, the Abyss Demon Race possessed partial bloodlines of supreme demon gods born during the primordial chaos.
The kings of the Abyss Demon Race, upon reaching adulthood, could contend with human cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Their bloodlines were incredibly terrifying!
They were considered one of the strongest bloodlines among all races, second only to the Ancient Gods!
