When Gu Sheng steadied his stance and looked around, he discovered that at his side there was only Gu Yuanyuan, clutching tightly at his sleeve!
Zhao Boyang, Jin’er, and that burly man and lanky Array Master had all vanished!
They had been randomly transmitted to different locations!
The scene before their eyes was even more gloomy and sinister than before.
The sky was still dark red, but that ghastly pale "moon" seemed to have grown larger; the black lines on its surface writhed like pulsing blood vessels, exuding a dead stillness that made one’s heart shudder.
The air was thick with the stench of rot and blood; underfoot lay a viscous black mire, from which turbid bubbles would occasionally rise and burst, releasing a pungent reek.
And not far ahead of them, an unimaginably vast black palace stood silently, like a primordial giant beast crouching in the darkness!
The palace gates had long since shattered, revealing a passage as deep as a gaping maw.
The palace walls were crowded with countless reliefs of twisted, pain‑contorted human faces, as though innumerable wronged souls had been imprisoned within, wailing soundlessly.
An indescribable chill, steeped in malice and despair, spread out from the depths of the palace, making even the soul tremble!
"Master... this place... is so frightening..."
Gu Yuanyuan’s face was pale, her voice quivering.
Even with Gu Sheng at her side, the aura emanating from this palace made her feel extremely ill at ease.
Gu Sheng’s gaze, however, was unnaturally calm. He stared at that black palace, a look of understanding in his eyes.
"The main hall of the Thousand Souls Hall..."
He murmured to himself, then spoke to Gu Yuanyuan.
"Stay within three steps of me. You must not leave my side."
"Yes, Master!"
Gu Yuanyuan answered at once, forcing down the fear in her heart and following close behind Gu Sheng.
The two of them walked toward the palace gate that was like the maw of a giant beast.
The closer they drew, the denser that cold, venomous aura became, as if countless eyes filled with malice were watching them from the darkness.
Within the palace gate, it was pitch‑black and bottomless; only gusts of gloomy wind howled out, carrying a bone‑piercing chill and faint sobbing sounds.
Just as they were about to step into the main hall, a sudden change erupted!
In the depths of the hall, the viscous black mire surged violently!
A gigantic head, formed from heaps of innumerable bones and rotting flesh, slowly rose up!
Set upon the head was a single huge, blood‑shot eye!
The eye stared fixedly at Gu Sheng and Gu Yuanyuan as they stepped into the hall; deep within the pupil was endless malice and greed!
A roar laden with savagery and the aura of annihilation exploded forth, like a death knell tolling from Nine Nether Hell!
With that roar, a visible black sound wave, packed with terrifying impact upon the Divine Soul, swept toward the two of them!
Where it passed, even space warped and shook!
