2302 Burial Ground
After walking for a long time, the Martial Dao Prime Body paused.
Heavenly Wolf's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous immediately, on guard!
He knew that the Martial Dao Prime Body would definitely not stop for no reason—he must have sensed some danger!
However, although Heavenly Eye could see and hear everything, he could not sense any danger.
In the tunnel they were in, there were only the three of them. There were no other signs of life and the surroundings were peaceful.
The Martial Dao Prime Body raised his arm and slowly lifted the sleeves of his robe.
What was revealed beneath his clothes was not a body of flesh and blood, but a dense swarm of pitch-black ants!
The Martial Dao Prime Body tore off the clothes at his chest area and it was pitch-black beneath as well—it was filled with ants. Each of their tiny heads shone with two blood-red spots!
Unknowingly, the ants had already crawled all over the Martial Dao Prime Body's body through his clothes!
However, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not notice it at all!
Psst!
When he saw that, Heavenly Wolf gasped and his fur stood on end.
The moment his fur stood on end, tiny objects fell from Heavenly Wolf's body as well.
Suddenly, Heavenly Wolf realized something and a chill ran down his spine!
If even the Martial Dao Prime Body did not notice it, his body would definitely be filled with such ants as well!
At that thought, Heavenly Wolf felt his scalp tingle and he felt uncomfortable. He twisted his body wildly, wanting to fling the ants off his body!
The ants seemed to have realized that they were exposed as well and suddenly took the initiative to attack!
"Ah!"
Heavenly Wolf let out a tragic cry.
Tens of thousands of ants bit down on his body at the same time, dying his massive body red!
Heavenly Wolf shuddered and almost fainted from the pain.
The Martial Dao Prime Body felt a sharp pain as well. However, his expression was unchanged as he chanted the Prajna Nirvana Sutra once more. Golden Sanskrit words appeared one after another and enveloped him, Heavenly Wolf and Yan Beichen.
Splash!
As though they were frightened, the ants fell off their bodies rapidly like black ink and fled in all directions.
Before long, there were no longer any ants on the Martial Dao Prime Body, Heavenly Wolf and Yan Beichen.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had a strong physique and was not injured.
However, Heavenly Wolf and Yan Beichen were covered in injuries from the ants earlier on.
To begin with, Yan Beichen was on the brink of death. After being attacked by the ants, the lifeforce in his body became even thinner and he could die at any moment!
An indescribable sense of fear spread through the tunnel.
Even the Martial Dao Prime Body was affected.
If not for the fact that he challenged the Dao Heart Trial of the Dao Heart Stairs with the Green Lotus True Body and condensed the tenth stone step prior to entering Avici, his Dao Heart might have wavered at this moment.
Avici was extremely terrifying and sinister with unknown living beings and environments.
These Hell Ants could even hide from the spirit perception of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
Or rather, in Avici, the spirit perception of the Martial Dao Prime Body had been reduced to its limits and was almost useless.
At the side, Heavenly Wolf was so frightened by this change that he trembled, as though he was reminiscing about what happened back then.
The situation was not looking good!
It was clear that the Hell Ants earlier on were not strong enough.
If the power of the ants increased by another level, the Martial Dao Prime Body would not be able to defend against such a massive number no matter how strong his body was!
Furthermore, if ant kings and queens were to appear later on…
The Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath and whispered, "Hurry, let's go! We have to find Emperor Bo Xun's corpse as soon as possible!"
He followed the connection in the Mara Mask and advanced continuously in the tunnel. Heavenly Wolf grit his teeth and braced himself, following closely behind.
After passing through a few more tunnels, the Martial Dao Prime Body arrived at an intersection of many tunnels.
"Master, look around!"
Heavenly Wolf's voice sounded with a tremble.
Countless Hell Ants were surging over from the surrounding tunnels, filling the entire tunnels like terrifying black torrents!
The black torrents surged to the end of the tunnel and suddenly stopped, surrounding the intersection of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Heavenly Wolf!
All the exits were blocked in all directions!
The ants in the maze were gradually adapting to the golden Sanskrit released by the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Those Hell Ants were the same as the Hell Hounds from before.
When they saw the golden Sanskrit, they instinctively thought that it was the Infinite Great Emperor or his successor.
However, as time passed by, they realized that the golden Sanskrit words posed no threat to them.
The purple-robed cultivator was also rather weak!
Under the orders of their kings and queens, these Hell Ants were prepared to launch their final attacks on the Martial Dao Prime Body!
"It's over, we won't be able to hold out this time round!"
Heavenly Wolf gulped.
With so many black torrents swarming forward and drowning them, they might not even be left with bones in the blink of an eye!
"Follow me!"
Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body hollered and charged towards a tunnel!
Heavenly Wolf did not have time to think and could only follow instinctively.
Boom!
The ants in the tunnels swarmed forward and attacked the barrier formed by the golden Sanskrit endlessly.
The light of the golden barrier dimmed.
In the end, the golden light was completely drowned by the black torrents!
Crack!
The golden barrier shattered!
The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body intensified and he channeled his bloodline to its limits. The blood qi in his body surged and his entire body seemed to have transformed into a gigantic furnace, as though it could incinerate all living beings and smelt Heaven and Earth!
Bloodline Phenomenon, Heaven and Earth Furnace!
Sizzle!
The black ants surged forward and a large number of them died from the smoke.
However, the Hell Ants did not seem to know what fear was and continued surging, attacking the Heaven and Earth Furnace of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace was strong, it could not defend against the attacks of millions of ants.
Furthermore, the initial ants were weak and could be burned to death by the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Before long, the Hell Ants that appeared again were all extremely powerful. Even though their bodies were burning with flames, they possessed immense lifeforce and continued fighting!
"We can't hold on for much longer!"
Heavenly Wolf knew that the moment the flames on the Martial Dao Prime Body extinguished, they would die!
The Martial Dao Prime Body led Heavenly Wolf and stared at the ant torrents as they advanced through the tunnel.
Suddenly!
The Martial Dao Prime Body felt the pressure ahead lighten. He charged out of the tunnel and entered a hall with a circular dome.
Heavenly Wolf carried Yan Beichen and scrambled over as well.
After entering the hall, the black ants surged continuously in the tunnel behind them. However, none of them stepped foot into this place.
The flames on the Martial Dao Prime Body had already extinguished.
If they were a step slower, the three of them would have died among the ants!
"T-This…"
Suddenly, Heavenly Wolf's voice turned agitated. "I'm very familiar with this place. It should be my old master's burial ground!"
