Ye Tian raised his right hand and conjured a light sphere.
"Whoosh!"
The light sphere lit up, but it was akin to a tiny bulb, only emitting a faint glow, slightly illuminating the space around him.
"Hmm?"
Ye Tian gathered his spiritual energy, intending to enhance the brightness of the light sphere.
However, as the spiritual energy increased, the brightness of the light sphere only slightly expanded before quickly reverting to its original state.
It was as if so invisible presence was devouring the light.
Unconvinced, Ye Tian conjured ten light spheres.
Among them, nine extinguished within two seconds of lighting up, leaving only one sphere able to sustain.
No matter how strong the spiritual energy Ye Tian released, the light would still not brighten.
"It seems like this place only allows one light," Ye Tian said to Han Shiyun beside him.
"Let’s... continue forward," Han Shiyun said.
At this mont, she felt a tinge of unease.
For now, she couldn’t clearly see Ye Tian walking beside her and could only hear his voice.
In human subconscious, there’s a natural fear of the unknown.
And this place inherently gave Han Shiyun a disquieting feeling.
This resulted in Han Shiyun feeling her heart pounding with extre unease, even though they hadn’t walked far.
After so deliberation, Han Shiyun softly asked, "Honey, can I hold your arm?"
"Oh, scared already? Didn’t you want to co alone earlier?" Ye Tian joked.
"I, I..." Han Shiyun felt a bit embarrassed, her cheeks flushed in the darkness.
"Let’s go, hold if you want to. Don’t get lost," Ye Tian said.
"Okay," Han Shiyun replied lightly, reaching out her right hand to grasp Ye Tian’s arm.
Feeling the warmth of Ye Tian’s arm, Han Shiyun’s uneasy heart cald a bit.
...
As Ye Tian and Han Shiyun continued into the darkness, seven figures appeared in this space.
"This is the Torrent Eye!"
Six generals looked at the scene before them, their faces excited, overwheld.
Standing at the front, Soul Flow said nothing, but his eyes showed excitent.
From the mont he swore allegiance to the Demon Emperor, he’s been anticipating this day’s arrival.
Finally, the first Torrent Eye opened!
He was thrilled to enter the Torrent Eye!
"Let’s... move forward."
Soul Flow instructed the six generals behind him.
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at a fork in the road.
"Lord Soul, should we split up? Three to the left, three to the right..."
General Cang He asked.
"No, everyone moves to the right," Soul Flow said.
"Shouldn’t soone check the left?"
Cang He was taken aback, asking.
Soul Flow turned his head, glanced at Cang He, and said coldly, "Enter the left path, and never think of coming out. That leads to the abyssal cavern... once you enter, there’s no chance of surviving."
"Simply put, this path leads to the path to hell."
"However, if you’re lucky enough, reaching the bottom might give you a chance to see the Prison Demon Coffin left by the ancient Hell Clan."
....
Ye Tian and Han Shiyun continued deeper.
The scope they could see with the naked eye only covered where the light sphere emitted its weak glow like a bulb.
But in reality, this light was not very useful.
They could only rely on intuition, keeping the initial direction as they walked forward.
The soft ground ant their steps didn’t make a sound.
Thus, the surroundings were extrely quiet, allowing them to hear their breathing clearly.
During this process, Han Shiyun’s inner unease kept growing.
Her courage had always been strong, but for so reason, she felt particularly vulnerable this ti.
Unknowingly, Han Shiyun had wrapped both her hands around Ye Tian’s arm.
In such a silent environnt, Ye Tian could even hear Han Shiyun’s heart beating quickly.
Therefore, he knew Han Shiyun was currently extrely uneasy.
He didn’t think it was rely Han Shiyun being timid.
He understood very well that Han Shiyun’s fear stemd from the negative impact of this environnt.
Yet Ye Tian beca even more curious now.
As if in the darkness, countless eyes were staring at them.
Ye Tian closed his eyes, activating the Creation Eye.
Upon reopening them, a red glow shone in his pupils, and white runes spun rapidly.
Ye Tian’s vision was still filled with gray.
But even in gray tones, he could see so lines interwoven.
Extending the view farther allowed him to see the rough outline of the surrounding environnt.
"This is..." Ye Tian’s heart skipped.
In his vision, he could see a spiral path beneath them.
He and Han Shiyun kept moving forward, essentially spiraling downwards.
Continuing downward, the end appeared to flatten out... but what it held was unclear.
Ye Tian lifted his head, sowhat surprised.
The Creation Eye was seldom so limited.
What truly exists in this place?
"Honey, can you see anything?" Han Shiyun gently asked.
"We’re moving downwards; the bottom is a flat area, probably the end. I think we should speed up," Ye Tian said.
"Alright," Han Shiyun replied.
But as Han Shiyun prepared to speed up, she suddenly stepped in so liquid, making a ’squelch’ sound.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Tian asked.
"There’s sothing on the ground..." Han Shiyun’s voice trembled slightly.
Ye Tian frowned, controlling the light sphere to lower towards the ground.
As the light sphere descended, its faint glow vaguely illuminated the object on the ground.
The first thing visible was a terrified face!
Its mouth agape, a tongue sticking out, both eyes gouged out, blood flowing.
While such corpses aren’t common in everyday life, they aren’t terrifying either.
Yet already deeply uneasy, Han Shiyun’s fear ignited like gunpowder, instantly spreading throughout her body, rendering her freezing!
She let out a soft cry, nestling closer to Ye Tian, extending her arms in an embrace.
Feeling Ye Tian’s warmth, Han Shiyun’s cheeks flushed red in the darkness, caught between shyness and terror.
Ye Tian didn’t mind Han Shiyun’s reaction but controlled the light sphere to move beneath the corpse.
Soon, they saw a bloody hole in the corpse’s left chest.
The heart was missing.
Judging by the fresh bloodstains...
"This person died recently," Ye Tian stated.
Professor Jiang had ntioned rumors of treasure here.
This would certainly attract many daring individuals.
Finding a corpse here wasn’t surprising.
Ye Tian’s only puzzle was... why were this person’s eyes and heart removed?
...
Following this, Ye Tian and Han Shiyun began to walk faster.
