Chapter 124: Evasion

Flying all the way while resisting the dense swarm of Black Crow Men chasing behind, the group was not slow either.

But soon, when they reached the next fork in the road,

a scene appeared that made the faces of many divine envoys and ancestral spirits change drastically.

At this junction,

it was densely packed with black-winged griffins.

Dark Griffins!

And deep in both passages, as far as the eye could see, were dense clusters of Dark Griffins.

Moreover, the aura emanating from these Dark Griffins was clearly stronger and more intimidating than that of the Black Crow Men.

The group was directly sandwiched between the Black Crow Men and the Dark Griffins within the passage.

Boom—

Boom—

Two divine-level experts struck out fiercely to clear the way for the group.

At the same time, several demigod-level experts also made their moves.

For a moment, a large number of Dark Griffins were continuously blasted into fragments by the gods.

The gods cleared the way ahead.

The group resisted the approaching Black Crow Men from behind.

In this formation, the group quickly advanced forward through the passage.

As they progressed, within less than ten minutes, Gune saw that divine envoys and ancestral spirits at the third realm were beginning to show signs of fatigue in defending against the dense attacks of the Black Crow Men from behind.

Soon, two third-realm divine envoys had their bodies pierced by the dense feathers.

Then the Black Crow Men swarmed in and tore the corpses of the two divine envoys to pieces.

"Too many!"

Amidst the attacks, Gune frowned slightly.

Whether it was the Dark Griffins ahead or the Black Crow Men behind, their numbers were far too great.

Previously, Gune had never had an intuitive sense of such a scale of numbers.

But at this moment, Gune only felt that the dense Black Crow Men surged like a tidal wave.

Gune couldn't kill them all.

Black Crow Men continuously launched frenzied attacks at Gune.

At the same time, at least over fifty Black Crow Men were attacking Gune.

No matter how many Gune killed, the number of Black Crow Men never decreased; once this wave died, the next immediately took over, advancing wave after wave.

Fortunately, Gune still had strong defenses, so he didn't need to worry about his own safety.

These attacks were essentially ineffective against Gune.

During the attacks, Gune's World Essence was not only in a defensive state.

At the same time, while killing these Black Crow Men, Gune also manipulated the power of World Essence and the Blood Sea to continuously pull the Black Crow Men he killed, as well as those killed by Zhou Wei, into the Blood Sea.

After all, these Black Crow Men were at the divine envoy level.

Pulling them into the Blood Sea could also provide a little power for the expansion of the Blood Sea.

At the same time, after their blood was transformed, it could become Gune's source power, continuously replenishing his source power.

Overall, even in the midst of intense combat, Gune could still remain at his peak at all times.

As they advanced, divine envoys and ancestral spirits fell one after another.

This gave Gune a deeper understanding of the dangers of the Ekma Grand Passage.

When they reached another passage,

Gune suddenly looked ahead.

Deep in the passage ahead, the auras of three powerful gods and five fierce demigods simultaneously emerged.

"Be careful, gods and demigods are appearing. Fight with all your might to get through."

The god Mozi's voice came harshly.

Everyone's expressions turned solemn.

At this point, they had only passed one-tenth of the passage, yet the situation was already becoming increasingly intense.

A moment later.

Boom, boom, boom...

The deities ahead quickly engaged in battle.

The explosive force surged violently.

Even the surging, turbulent storm of source force was torn apart by the fluctuations of the deities' combat.

The power surging between heaven and earth seemed feeble before the deities.

"Hurry and follow us forward."

Several half-saint experts also shouted sternly in succession.

The crowd immediately began to accelerate forward.

As the crowd advanced, the attacks naturally weakened considerably.

For a time, the black crow men behind pursued in overwhelming numbers, while at the same moment, several black crow men with demigod aura suddenly revealed their presence.

"These powerful black crow men do possess some intelligence. Earlier, seeing that we had deities leading, they didn't show themselves. But now, sensing that a powerful force ahead is hindering our advance and that the deity-level experts are tied up, they immediately flew out—cunning creatures."

Seeing the appearance of these demigod black crow men, Gune muttered to himself.

The thought had just flashed through Gune's mind.

Along with the powerful demigod-level black crow men, vast numbers of third- and fourth-tier black crow men also emerged in swarms.

"Kill them all!"

The demigod leader of the black crow men roared hoarsely in their alien language.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Countless black crow men madly shot dark feathers imbued with powerful divine force at Gune and the others.

The sharp feathers were as dense as raindrops.

Chih!

Chih!

Bang! Bang!

Ah!

"Save me!"

"Damn it, my physical body has been pierced."

"Watch out!"

"Come over and help me quickly."

In an instant, the protective shields or other defensive measures of many Third Realm divine senses were pierced by these feathers, exploding into pieces.

Some Fourth Realm divine envoys and ancestral spirits with less formidable defenses also had their shields shattered, and their physical bodies had begun to suffer injuries.

Cries of agony and pleas for help interwove into a cacophony.

At the same time, seven or eight divine envoys and ancestral spirits leaped directly into an area behind Gune.

These people near Gune had long noticed that Gune's defensive capabilities were extremely astonishing, fully capable of blocking those feathers.

Previously, the attacks of those feathers had not been able to threaten them much.

They had not resorted to borrowing Gune's area defense to take cover.

But now, with the appearance of these many formidable feathers, and even the demigod Black Crow Man attacking from behind,

Seeing that they could not withstand it, they disregarded all dignity and directly ran to the area in front of Gune to use his defensive ability to block the feathers.

"Friend, your defense is strong. Let's join forces to attack and help relieve your pressure."

"Exactly, together we can help you kill more Black Crow Men."

Voices came along, and Gune's eyelid twitched.

"If you're afraid of the demigod's attack, am I not afraid too?"

Gune had no obligation to block the feathers for these people. Ignoring them, he leaped to quickly widen the distance.

However, these people stuck to Gune like plasters, moving forward closely.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

"Hum!"

An extremely profound and terrifying forbidden force materialized directly in the area where Gune was.

This force was clearly intended to seal off this region.

If trapped here without leaving with the divine being, it would be disastrous.

The wind spirit wings behind Gune flapped abruptly, and he swiftly veered to one side to flee away.
