Chapter 664 The River Against the Current
The roaring sound continued to ring out...
The entire space rapidly cracked open along the gap, and the surrounding scenery changed in no time!
As the blinding light gradually weakened, everyone suddenly stared blankly up at the void above.
There was no other reason than that this void was just like the Sealed Heaven Continent and the Illusion Demon Continent, a breathtaking expanse of azure blue that made some people's eyes sparkle.
Perhaps influenced by the perpetually gray and hazy void outside, even Ning Yanxue and Shen Wuliang looked up and gazed at it, a rare hint of longing appearing in their eyes!
However, this does not include those who follow religious beliefs.
In addition to their original indifference, a hint of disgust appeared in their eyes!
It's obvious that this is related to the dark aura emanating from them that has been eroding their minds and bodies.
Moreover, the dark aura emanating from the members of the Divine Cult was several times stronger than that of any other cultivator of the Netherworld.
"Wow~!"
"Wow~!"
A series of rapid water sounds rang out...
Apart from the azure void above their heads, the people were shocked to find themselves in the middle of an incredibly wide river, with the array altar beneath their feet floating on its surface.
The reason for the shock was that this river was actually a river that flowed upstream.
As far as the eye could see, the river was surging wildly upwards, occasionally creating huge waves. Behind them was a bottomless abyss, a truly magnificent sight!
"The river flows upstream, this..."
Then, just as everyone was staring in shock at the scene before them, suddenly!
Rumble~!
A violent noise struck, and everyone felt the altar beneath their feet trembling and rumbling incessantly!
"Holy...holy shit!"
"Could it be..."
"How is this possible? Isn't this a river flowing upstream?!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes widened!
The result did not disappoint everyone. The altar beneath their feet was slowly sliding towards the bottomless abyss behind them, clearly intending to drag everyone down with it.
Although this river flows upstream, perhaps due to the immense weight of the altar beneath their feet, the upstream current could not prevent them from plunging into the abyss behind them.
It only slows down the movement speed, but it doesn't change the final result.
"Damn it, run!!!"
"Ha ha!"
"I almost forgot, I can fly!"
Just as someone was about to slip away, a sudden thought struck him, and he laughed self-deprecatingly before leaping high into the air.
But the next moment!
There was a loud "thump"!
The man fell into the river and struggled and cried out incessantly!
"Fuck!"
"Gurgle... This place... Gurgle... actually forbids flying... Flying!"
"Help...Gulu...Help!"
"I don't know water... glug... water magic!"
Unfortunately, no one present paid him any attention; instead, they all watched the turbulent, upstream river with wary eyes.
As the man's shouts gradually faded, his figure was quickly swallowed up by the swiftly flowing river and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.
Clearly, this turbulent, upstream river is also extremely dangerous!
"Flying is prohibited?!"
"How...how could this happen!"
"Lin Que, what should we do... huh?"
"Lin Que, what are you doing?"
As the array beneath her feet drew ever closer to the abyss behind her, Ning Yanxue grew anxious and wondered if Lin Que had any good ideas.
However, when he turned around, he found that Lin Que was inexplicably walking towards the edge of the array, and soon he arrived at the river and reached his hand into the water.
This action not only puzzled Ning Yanxue, but also surprised the other Chongming cultivators who were preparing to jump into the river to use water magic to leave, or who were preparing to summon their spirit boats!
All eyes were focused on Lin Que.
A moment later, under everyone's gaze, Lin Que's expression became increasingly solemn!
He pulled his hand out of the river, the heavy sound echoing all around...
"This turbulent river can actually imprison the spiritual power within my body!"
“It’s a bit troublesome…”
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators present, except for Shen Wuliang, were stunned into silence!
"Wha...what?!"
"This river can actually imprison our spiritual power?!"
"No wonder that person perished here. It seems that if one had spiritual power, even without water magic, one could still leave using some spells."
"How are we supposed to get out of here?!"
"If spiritual power is imprisoned, then even if the spirit boat is summoned, it will be of no use, because there is no spiritual power to drive it."
"you're so dumb!"
“We are standing on the spirit boat, and our bodies have not been touched by this river water, so how could our spiritual power be imprisoned?”
"Hmm? What you said seems... to make some sense."
"..."
After a brief discussion, it was clear that some people were skeptical and immediately took out their spirit boats from their storage rings to give it a try.
But when he threw the spirit boat into the river, and as he boarded the boat and poured his spiritual power into it to start it up, his expression changed drastically!
Then, gritting his teeth, he didn't hesitate!
The man immediately leaped up, left the spirit boat, and returned to the array altar.
Immediately afterwards, a loud booming sound rang out, and the spirit boat was overturned by the turbulent river before everyone's eyes, and was instantly swept into the water and disappeared.
Even the broken wreckage was completely destroyed, leaving everyone terrified!
"How...how could this be!" someone muttered to themselves, then asked the person who had just left, "What exactly happened that made you abandon the boat and flee?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face turned extremely ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Once I leave this array altar, I cannot mobilize even a fraction of my spiritual power, let alone inject it into the spirit boat."
"Moreover, I also felt a terrifying pulling force in this river. If I had abandoned the boat a little later..."
"Then I guess my fate will be the same as that of the fellow Daoist who fell before."
hiss~!
In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
Now everyone understands that only on this altar can they mobilize their spiritual power. If they leave, they are no different from an ordinary person.
Now, everyone fell silent...
Unfortunately, there is not much time left for everyone to think. The array is getting closer and closer to the bottomless abyss, now less than a hundred meters away.
Soon, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of some people!
When they looked at the crowd around them, their eyes were filled with intense killing intent!
"Lin Que, what do you think we should do now?"
Ning Yanxue turned her head from time to time to look at the bottomless abyss behind her, looking extremely anxious, but for some reason she placed her hopes on Lin Que.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Que glanced around!
next moment!
Swish!
A long sword, as black as night, instantly appeared in his hand!
Seeing this, Ning Yanxue was immediately puzzled, but Shen Wuliang seemed to become even more excited!
"Lin Que, what... what are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, a strong sword intent emanated from Lin Que. His eyes did not look at Ning Yanxue, but instead he warily scanned his surroundings. However, his calm voice soon rang out...
"Be careful, some people are up to no good."
