"I believe that when he was the Infinite Emperor, he could have lasted longer, but what about the Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor? They couldn't possibly have stayed in the sinkhole for so long. Could it be that they stayed in some area and made a foothold on the sinkhole wall?"

"Perhaps they have already found the right way to explore."

As time passed, the Great Dao Emperors paid more and more attention to Yi Shuihan and his group. When one of the Great Dao Emperors used a secret method to determine that Yi Shuihan and his group were more than 200,000 miles underground, it caused an uproar.

At this point, they couldn't refuse to believe that Yi Shuihan and the others had found a way to get down.

"That guy Yi Shuihan actually kept it from me, an old man. I completely misjudged him."

The Supreme Emperor was very frustrated and cursed at Yi Shuihan, saying that he would definitely teach Yi Shuihan a lesson.

Because they were worried that Yi Shuihan and the others would discover the secret of the achievement in the sinkhole, the group of Great Dao Emperors became much more enthusiastic about studying the sinkhole. As long as their bodies could withstand it, they would never leave the sinkhole.

A month later, it was no longer a secret that staying in the sinkhole for a long time would allow the body to adapt and reduce the spatial pressure accordingly. This made the Great Dao Emperors, who already devoted almost all their energy to the sinkhole, even more frantic.

To better adapt to the new environment, the Great Dao Emperors have completely stayed inside the sinkhole and no longer come out to rest. As for how they did it, it's very simple: they created a resting place in an area where they could withstand the spatial pressure, and it was easy for them to make a hole in the wall.

Leaving aside the other Great Dao Emperors, Yi Shuihan and his group had already arrived at a very crucial area.

"This is the imperial burial area you mentioned."

The Thunder Emperor pointed to a spot not far away, his voice trembling slightly.

"good."

Yi Shuihan answered calmly. To his right, Empress Vera was carefully clutching Yi Shuihan's sleeve with one hand, looking very frightened.

It's amazing that a dignified emperor could behave just like an ordinary person.

However, Yi Shuihan was not surprised. Even he was a little scared. These were not ordinary corpses. Each one of them was a Great Dao Emperor, and the most outstanding Great Dao Emperor at that. After all, being able to come here was proof of their extraordinary nature.

Logically speaking, as a Great Dao Emperor, one is accustomed to life and death, and can decide the survival of billions of lives with a single thought. Mere corpses are simply too low-level. However, when these corpses are beings of similar strength to oneself, things are different.

Just like an ordinary person, stepping on an ant won't cause any psychological reaction, and a pile of ant corpses in front of them might only make them feel disgusted. But if it's a pile of human corpses, then they will feel fear because they will unconsciously identify with them and imagine themselves as one of them.

Watching through a virtual screen and seeing it up close are two completely different experiences. Especially when he saw those eerie smiles, Yi Shuihan even had the feeling that these bodies would suddenly come back to life and attack him.

It was because of this feeling that Yi Shuihan stopped temporarily and did not rush on.

If possible, Yi Shuihan wanted to take a detour, but after searching for a long time, he found that there was no way to get around this place. At most, he could choose to proceed to an area with fewer corpses.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Empress Vera cried out in surprise, startling both Yi Shuihan and Emperor Kuang Lei, who instinctively assumed defensive stances. However, after a few seconds, nothing happened.

"Can you stop being so dramatic? You are, after all, a Great Dao Emperor."

"I am annoyed," said the Thunder Emperor.

"No, the flowers and grass are ignoring me. I try to communicate with them, but there's no response."

Empress Vera explained.

"There is indeed a problem."

Previously, Empress Vera could communicate with flowers and plants, but she failed here.

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuihan said, "I'll go and test the waters first. You all stay here for now."

Hand the Time Bead and the Magma Bead to the Thunder Emperor so that the staircase can be maintained. At this depth, Yi Shuihan can only stay on the staircase for a very short time if he leaves. The Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor might be crushed into pieces by the spatial pressure as soon as they leave the staircase.

After the magma bead and the time bead touched, the magma bead stopped releasing its burning effect. It seemed that its energy had been used to maintain the staircase, so the Thunder Emperor could hold it without any problems.

Yi Shuihan wasn't worried that Kuang Lei Dizun would run away with the items, because the formation of the staircase would take time, and even if Kuang Lei Dizun wanted to run away, he couldn't outrun him.

Chapter 1534, Difficult Exploration

Stepping off the crimson staircase, the sudden pressure almost made Yi Shuihan lose his balance. However, to his slight surprise, the pressure he felt was less than he had imagined.

"Is it because I stood on the crimson steps for so long that I picked up some of its aura?"

This answer isn't too surprising, and in any case, the result is still very good.

Less pressure also means that Yi Shuihan can persevere for longer and has more energy to spare, which will allow him to focus more on what he needs to do next.

With 200% concentration, Yi Shuihan slowly approached the corpse.

When it got close to 100 meters, there was no reaction; the same was true at 50 meters; and then at 10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters...

When Yi Shuihan was less than 1 meter away from the nearest corpse, and could reach out and touch it, the situation suddenly changed.

The corpse's hands suddenly reached out to grab Yi Shuihan, moving so fast that even though Yi Shuihan was on guard, he couldn't dodge in time.

A zombie? It doesn't even qualify as a zombie. Compared to a zombie, the movements are more like being manipulated by a puppet, because the corpse's eyes are not open, there is no sign of life, and the face maintains a creepy smile that makes your scalp crawl.

Upon being captured, Yi Shuihan's first reaction was to break free, and that's exactly what he did. At first, he felt that the strength of those hands wasn't great, and he should be able to break free easily. However, just as he was about to break free, the strength of those hands suddenly increased, as if they had transformed from ordinary arms into iron arms.

On the crimson steps, Thunder God and Vera God were extremely anxious, but they knew they couldn't help at this time, and speaking up would only increase the tension, so they could only stand there worrying.

"I can easily kill even a living Great Dao Emperor, let alone a dead one who dares to stop me!"

After failing to break free several times, Yi Shuihan became enraged. Instead of struggling, he grabbed the corpse's arms and pulled hard, snapping the arms off.

After the arm was severed, Yi Shuihan strangely removed it from his body. However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the severed arm on the corpse began to glow green and then exploded.

boom!

Yi Shuihan was very close and was the first to be hit by the force of the explosion and thrown away.

Fortunately, this was a sinkhole, so even the explosion of a Great Dao Emperor wasn't too strong. Yi Shuihan only had a few cracks in his bones, but none of them broke.

Of course, Yi Shuihan was different from other Great Dao Emperors, and was much stronger. Yi Shuihan only had cracks in his bones from the explosion, while other Great Dao Emperors would probably have broken bones.

"If that's all there is to it, even if everything explodes, I can just take it slow, restore it once, and then detonate it again. I can still get through this easily."

Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

"Look!"

Hearing the exclamation of the Thunder Emperor, Yi Shuihan looked over and his pupils contracted. He saw that the place where the self-destructed Great Dao Emperor's corpse had been was beginning to gather points of light. The self-destructed corpse was slowly reforming, and even the arm that Yi Shuihan had torn off was intact.

It's terrifying that it can reassemble after self-destruction, as if it could be used against us. It's impossible to get through this by slowly grinding it down.

“That makes sense. If it couldn’t be restored, there wouldn’t be so many corpses here. Unless no Great Dao Emperor has ever been here before, it’s clear this isn’t the first time this has happened. Otherwise, where did those writings come from?”

After figuring things out, Yi Shuihan calmed down.

Since the other Great Dao Emperors can go down, Yi Shuihan can obviously go down too, after all, he is much stronger than the other Great Dao Emperors.

"There are thousands of corpses here. If they all self-destructed at the same time, even I estimate that they would have a nine out of ten chance of dying. Obviously, they couldn't all self-destruct at the same time. So what would be the conditions for self-destruction? Hmm, being captured? Not necessarily. When I was captured, I didn't show any signs of self-destruction. I was either broken free or damaged."

Various thoughts surfaced in his mind, leading to numerous conclusions, but ultimately, Yi Shuihan still needed to personally confirm them.

Yi Shuihan first returned to the Crimson Stairs to recuperate and recover from his injuries, while also exchanging his thoughts with the Thunder Emperor and the others.

An hour later, Yi Shuihan was ready to set off again.

In fact, Yi Shuihan's injuries were completely healed in just a few minutes. This was because his recovery power was suppressed in two ways. The first suppression was the breakthrough point, and the second was that part of his power was used to stabilize the space he entered after leaving the main hall.

Even so, Yi Shuihan's recovery was astonishing. The reason he waited an hour before setting off again was that he was holding back a little. Even so, both Kuang Lei Emperor and Vera Emperor were very surprised by Yi Shuihan's recovery speed, saying that it would take them at least half a day to recover.

When Yi Shuihan returned to the corpse, he kept a distance of one meter, not intending to repeat the same mistake. However, as Yi Shuihan passed by the corpse...

Without warning, the corpse exploded again. Yi Shuihan was prepared to be blown up, but it was no use. And this time it was even worse. The explosion was in the wrong direction and landed next to another corpse.

then,

Bang, bang, bang

After three consecutive explosions, Yi Shuihan managed to escape, because there were no other corpses around him.

Including the initial one, there were a total of 4 times, with repeated damage. What was originally just cracks in the bones caused by one explosion is now completely broken, and not just one bone is broken, but three are completely broken, and some bones have cracks.

Hurry back to the Crimson Stairs. This time it took more than ten minutes to fully recover. Of course, outwardly, Yi Shuihan rested for most of the day.

The only information he learned from the injury was that he couldn't step over the side. Yi Shuihan felt a bit frustrated, especially since he was injured while there were two spectators nearby. He even had a dark idea: to have Kuang Lei Di Zun also try it out, and have everyone take turns.

The third time, Yi Shuihan decided to pass through by avoiding the explosion.

Arriving at the first corpse that had been restored, the corpse grabbed him. He quickly tore off the corpse's arm, and then the corpse emitted light. At this moment, Yi Shuihan retreated without looking back.

After the massive explosion, Yi Shuihan was unharmed except for some messy hair; he had successfully avoided the blast.

Before the body could recover, Yi Shuihan went to the second body and repeated the process.

Since the correct way to dodge was not forward, but backward, when Yi Shuihan reached the first corpse after the explosion, he was surprised to find that the corpse did not react and there was no chain reaction of explosions.

Clearly, we're on the right track.

Chapter 1535, Passing the Checkpoint

"It's all about the thrill!"

After calming himself down, Yi Shuihan continued operating.

Thanks to his excellent anti-energy stress, Yi Shuihan easily dodged more than ten explosions and traversed about one percent of the area of ​​the Emperor's Tomb.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan did not press his advantage, but instead frowned slightly.

"It will be quite difficult to pass it on the first try."

Indeed, it seemed that Yi Shuihan had easily advanced one percent of the distance without being injured by the explosion. In reality, only Yi Shuihan himself knew how much effort he had put in during this process. Maintaining this state for a short time was not a problem, but it certainly couldn't be done for a long time.

Furthermore, the pressure in the space increases as he descends, and without a buffer zone, it would be truly difficult to endure such double pressure.

"Why are you back?"

The Thunder Emperor was initially enjoying watching Yi Shuihan break through the barrier, but when he suddenly noticed Yi Shuihan returning, he was puzzled.

"He must be back to rest! You've worked hard."

Empress Vera was thoughtful, and her words made people feel comfortable.

"Come on, let's move the seat over there."

Pointing to the place they had passed through before, Yi Shuihan spoke.

Neither the Thunder Emperor nor the Vera Emperor objected to this, and the crimson staircase re-formed, allowing them to descend step by step.

Before long, the crimson staircase led to the first corpse of a Great Dao Emperor.

Yi Shuihan was walking at the very front. When he passed by the Great Dao Emperor, the corpse did not react. However, the next moment, when the Mad Thunder Emperor passed by, he was suddenly grabbed.

"Forehead!"

Stunned, Yi Shuihan stared at the mournful face of the Thunder Emperor beside him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Why is it that I'm fine but he's in trouble? Is it because I broke the rules while he didn't, so he's ignoring me?"

In just a moment, the cause and effect became clear.

"Don't move yet."

The Thunder Emperor, who was still struggling, immediately stopped upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words and looked at Yi Shuihan pitifully.

"Brother, please think of something quickly! I'm innocent!"

So nervous, even the Thunder Emperor spoke without thinking.

It wasn't that the Thunder Emperor was cowardly; it was just that the feeling of being grabbed by a corpse was too oppressive. Anyone who has been grabbed knows this. Moreover, unlike Yi Shuihan, the Thunder Emperor found it difficult to break free. And the thought that even if he did break free, he would be blown up made it perfectly normal for his heart to feel utterly cold.

"Vera, take this."

Yi Shuihan handed the two beads to Vera and then went to the side of the Thunder Emperor.

"Get ready, Vera, you go first. Once you're a certain distance away, I'll forcibly pull away from Kuang Lei and then escape with him."

The formation of the crimson staircase takes time; otherwise, it wouldn't be so complicated.

Is the Crimson Staircase accessible from above? Of course it is. This was discovered long ago, and the upward-forming staircase is even faster than the downward-forming one.

Following Yi Shuihan's instructions, Empress Vera began to move away, and the next moment the steps beneath Yi Shuihan and Empress Kuanglei's feet disappeared.

Yi Shuihan was fine, but Kuang Lei Dizun staggered and looked rather pale, though he managed to hold on thanks to the crimson steps.

In just one minute, the Thunder Emperor felt as if many years had passed, as he was under immense pressure both mentally and physically! The longer he stayed away from the steps, even if he was just standing in place, the greater the pressure became. The thought of being blown up at any moment only he could truly understand the feeling.

While the Thunder Emperor was still wondering how much longer he should wait, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that he was getting further and further away from the corpse, and the green light was flashing.

"boom"

"When did this happen?"

First it exploded, and by the time the Thunder Emperor realized it, it was all over.

Yi Shuihan moved quickly, but because he was carrying someone, his speed was a little slower. He managed to escape unscathed, but Kuang Lei Di Zun was not so lucky. His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in injuries.

"Why didn't you let me know before you took action?"
