Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050

Leading the charge, Lu Yingtian stepped into the vast vortex.

In the next instant, without a sound, his entire being abruptly disappeared.

The water flow forming the vortex continued its slow, unhurried rotation, as if Lu Yingtian’s entry and disappearance left no trace behind.

Chen Hai, following closely behind, frowned involuntarily at the sight, but he did not pause, and resolutely stepped into the vortex himself.

A true vortex possesses a terrifying pulling force capable of dragging everything nearby into its depths.

The vortex beneath the submarine crack before Chen Hai and his companions merely resembled a vortex in shape; its nature greatly differed from a genuine one.

At least, when Chen Hai and Lu Yingtian first approached the vortex, they felt no pulling force acting upon them.

The water flow, while continuously rotating counterclockwise, did so very slowly and appeared quite calm.

However, appearances can be deceiving; entering the vortex was an entirely different matter.

Upon stepping into the vortex, Chen Hai felt as if his entire being was disintegrated into countless tiny particles. The discomfort was indescribable.

Fortunately, this sensation did not last long.

After disintegration, the countless particles quickly coalesced, and control of his body returned to Chen Hai simultaneously.

Feeling as though he stood in an endless abyss, black fog swirling all around, the only path was a rugged mountain road, stretching into the rolling black fog, leading to unknown destinations!

"Defy the Heavenly Dao, dishonor the heavens, face death!" an angry reprimand echoed from the thick black fog.

In the next moment, a gigantic black Mysterious Zither surged from the fog, blocking the rugged mountain path completely.

On top of the zither sat two figures, seemingly born incomplete, one lacking legs, the other lacking arms, their appearance disturbingly harmonious. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelfire.net

"Black Water Taoist Friend, be careful..." Lu Yingtian, who appeared here before Chen Hai, was now completely somber, ready for battle.

Upon seeing Chen Hai, he quickly called out in warning.

"Under the Heavenly Dao, all are ants; those who trespass here deserve death!"

Amidst the strange laughter, the one without arms plucked the zither strings with his feet, the "zheng, zheng" notes resonating across the skies, and the mountain-sized Mysterious Zither soared upwards.

The figures atop the zither also began to grow, swelling in the wind, leaping and trampling across the zither’s long strings like rivers, unleashing demonic melodies sweeping through the world.

Even as just one string sounded, the terrifying killing intent was palpable; when all six strings played, endless notes transformed into a luminous rain, ubiquitous and omnipresent.

At this moment, a cascade of figures began appearing around Chen Hai and Lu Yingtian.

Having reached the entrance to the Land of Slumber, with Lu Yingtian and Chen Hai leading the charge inside, the others did not linger.

In merely an instant, nearly ten figures had materialized on the rugged mountain road surrounded by swirling black fog.

They timed their arrival perfectly; the luminous rain formed by the notes enveloped them entirely.

"Damn it, this luminous rain has shadow but no form; it can harm me, yet I can’t touch it. What kind of bizarre technique is this?"

"This zither and those two people seem to be the Heavenly Path Gatekeepers, the legendary Tian Can and Di Que..."

"The luminous rain born from their zither notes, any attack imbued with Heavenly Dao Laws is ineffective against it; only the purest power can fully annihilate these attacks."

Amidst the indiscriminate luminous rain attack, chaos ensued among those present.

Amid the roars, there were even screams.

Initially, facing such strange attacks for the first time, they were clueless on how to respond.

In such circumstances, some casualties were inevitable.

Luckily, most of the quasi-saints present had lived countless years, and their wisdom and insight far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Within just a few breaths, they had already devised a strategy to confront the luminous rain attack.

Moreover, a middle-aged scholar-quasi-saint, had even recalled records from ancient texts about the two figures and the zither before them.

It’s a shame, though, that the records were written as myths and legends.

Apart from knowing that the two missing legs and arms were named Tian Can and Di Que, and their zither was called the Heavenly Dao Demon Zither, the scholar struggled to extract useful information from the texts.

"I will distract Tian Can and Di Que and block their luminous rain generated by the notes."

"Black Water Taoist Friend, Taoist Friend Kugu, the main attack is in your hands."

"Everyone else, assist with all your might, aim to create an opportunity for them to perform a fatal strike, and eliminate these two old cripples!"

Lu Yingtian, indeed a good leader.

In the beginning, uncertain how to respond to the luminous rain attacks, he endured them with his fearsome defense, never once stepping back.

The war armor he wore was already tattered, looking like it had been scavenged from a junk heap, always valuing his appearance, his pure black hair had been completely undone by the luminous rain.

On his bald head, lumps everywhere made him resemble The Buddha.

With a loud roar to those behind him, his body expanded, transforming into a massive three-headed, six-armed figure as large as a mountain.

Greater size meant greater strength.

His six arms wielded six fists, countless fist shadows clashed with the luminous rain of notes from Tian Can and Di Que.

Though Lu Yingtian was clearly at a disadvantage, he managed to barely fend off this attack, but how long he could hold out remained uncertain.

Though he mentioned multiple names as the main attackers, he clearly kept his gaze firmly on Chen Hai as he spoke.

The sky might fall, but it’s the tall ones who stand steadfast; at this moment, Chen Hai was the tallest.

Furrowing his brow slightly, he hesitated, then his body flickered, transforming into a barely visible shadow, charging straight towards the Heavenly Dao Demon Zither where Tian Can and Di Que were.
