Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 8: A terrifying storm, a dark barrier, and a demonic presence

"Hey! We don't have a sandstorm here!"

Someone noticed something was wrong.

Although the sky was filled with reddish-brown dust and the wind howled, the area where they were located was still calm, which was very strange. In the distance, the storm was raging, and even huge rocks could be seen flying in the air. The scene was particularly terrifying, but where they were located, it seemed calm.

"I'll go look somewhere else!"

Pang Bo, Ye Fan, and some of the other young men looked around, their expressions of astonishment. More precisely, the area encompassing the Great Leiyin Temple and the Five-Colored Altar was completely peaceful, as if some extraordinary power had isolated it from the outside world, a sanctuary for ancient gods.

"There's a hazy light shield above!"

Someone saw a vision that attracted the attention of many people.

"Yes!"

"Maybe this is a barrier or something like that left by the ancient gods!" someone speculated.

"Didn't you notice that the light shield is getting lighter and lighter?" Fang Han asked curiously.

These words immediately awakened everyone. The hazy light shield above the sky was indeed growing dimmer and would probably disappear completely in less than ten minutes.

"If that protective shield disappears, I'm afraid we'll all be torn to pieces by the storm!"

A young man said in horror.

"what to do."

"I don't want to die here!"

Some young women spoke with trembling voices.

At this moment, fear once again emerged in the hearts of many people.

"Rumble"

The earth trembled, and the sound of the storm, like muffled thunder, seemed to draw ever closer, mingled with shrill roars. At this moment, the world between heaven and earth was shrouded in a gray haze. This oppressive scene only heightened the fear within everyone.

Many people looked terrified, staring blankly at the raging sand, not knowing what to do.

"For the current plan, there is only one way!"

At this moment, Fang Han spoke calmly without a trace of panic.

"What method? Young man, tell me quickly!" Lin Jia said anxiously. At this moment, his handsome face was already full of anxiety, and he was obviously confused.

Others also turned their attention to the cosplay guy who had just had a conflict with Liu Yunzhi, wanting to know his solution.

Seeing everyone's gazes turned towards him, Fang Han didn't keep them in suspense. Instead, he said, "We are now on Mars. There is no food or water, and even this magical shield is about to disappear. If we continue to stay here, we will die. The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin is most likely a device designed by our ancestors for interstellar travel. We were able to set off on the Five-Colored Altar on Mount Tai back then, and now we can do the same on Mars."

After a pause, Fang Han continued, "As long as we continue to travel in the Nine Dragon Coffin, we will eventually reach a planet suitable for survival. That will be the time for us to escape!"

"I agree with Brother Fang Han's idea." Ye Fan said. This almost coincided with what he thought.

"I agree too!" Pang Bo also said.

"Yes, this may be our only chance of survival!" a young man also said.

Many people nodded. They completely understood that the only way to survive now was to leave Mars. Otherwise, if they stayed here, even if they were not torn apart by the sandstorm, they would die due to lack of food and water.

Huhu~
At this moment, a breeze blew past everyone, blowing up the long hair of some young women.

"Hurry up! If you don't leave now, you won't have another chance!"

Sensing something unusual, Fang Han rushed directly towards the location of the ancient bronze coffin.

"run!"

Everyone seemed to understand and followed closely. Clearly, the shield was no longer able to stop the storm. If they stayed any longer, they would be dead.

Although the distance from here to the ancient bronze coffin was only less than a thousand meters, if everyone couldn't rush to the bronze coffin when the defensive barrier was broken, they would definitely be torn to pieces by the violent sandstorm. The ruins of the Heavenly Palace were vast, and rubble was everywhere. Some people ran too fast and didn't dare to stop, forcing themselves to keep up despite the pain.

"Damn!"

The plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple was too heavy, but Pang Bo didn't want to throw it away, so Ye Fan carried it with him, and his speed was much faster, so he didn't fall behind.

"what"

At this moment, a young woman suddenly let out a shrill scream, and then with a "thump", she fell heavily to the ground on the ruins.

"what happened?"

Everyone paused, only to see a thumb-sized hole on the young woman's forehead, blood oozing out. Her eyes were filled with terror, as if she had seen something horrific, and she was no longer breathing.

"Go away! Don't come near!" Fang Han said sternly.

"What's wrong?" someone asked puzzledly.

The next moment, a blood shadow suddenly emerged from the head of the dead female classmate and bit directly into her face.

But it was hit hard by a stick and fell to the ground, squeaking and unable to fly again.

"What is this thing? It looks like a crocodile but not a crocodile, and like a snake but not a snake. It's strange! How can there be living creatures on Mars!" Everyone looked around and was horrified.

This mysterious creature, barely ten centimeters tall, resembled a crocodile, but lacked limbs. It was roughly the thickness of a thumb, with a bare belly and a back covered in jet-black scales that shone with a metallic sheen. Its gaze was malevolent, as if it were a demon from the underworld.

This scene also scared many people.

"This ferocious creature can fly without wings. Does anyone know what it is?" A young man asked bravely, feeling terrified but also curious.

"This is a demon from mythology. If you don't want to die, hurry back to the ancient bronze coffin!" Fang Han explained, staring around vigilantly.

It is obvious that the crocodile ancestor has escaped and his bloodline descendants have appeared.

Everyone is in extreme danger now, including him.

Of course, he could also go back now to avoid the danger, but if he did so, it would be difficult to explain in the future.

"demon?"

"hiss!"

After hearing Fang Han's words and thinking of the cruelty of the demons in the legend, many people felt a chill in their hearts, their bodies were cold, and they didn't even dare to look around.

shhhhhh!
At that moment, several piercing sounds echoed, and three young men, each with their hands empty, were overtaken by an inexplicable black light and fell heavily to the ground. There was also a thumb-sized bloody hole on their foreheads, from which came sucking and chewing sounds, a strange and eerie scene. Their deaths were identical to those of the young women earlier! Clearly, there were countless demons similar to snakes and crocodiles.

"run!!!"

The remaining survivors had already vaguely understood something. They looked at each other, and without looking back, they rushed madly towards the ancient bronze coffin.

"Those of you who haven't received any Buddha artifacts, gather together, or you'll die!"

As if he had thought of something, Fang Han spoke.

Then his eyes focused, and he rushed towards a young woman who was left behind with a vajra in his hand. Amidst her screams, he shot down a black shadow that was about to attack from behind.

"Be careful!" Fang Han reminded.

At this moment, another descendant of the divine crocodile was killed by him.

This vajra seemed to have great power, with faint flashes of lightning on it. The little demon was almost vulnerable to it.
