However, the one in front of them was much taller and more majestic, exuding a ghostly aura that suppressed all ghosts; it was clearly the original.

Gu Tianchen looked up at the tall black pyramid in front of him. Shadows were flying out from the top of the pyramid; they must be the mummies causing trouble outside.

Once the black pyramid is destroyed, the mummies should lose their source of power.

Thinking of this, Gu Tianchen started demolishing it without saying a word!

Gu Tianchen leaped forward, and the Fiery Dragon Halberd, burning with the Heavenly Divine Fire, unleashed terrifying power as it slashed fiercely down towards the base of the black pyramid!

clang!!!

A deafening metallic clang rang out instantly. The black pyramid, glowing with an eerie light, remained unharmed, while Gu Tianchen was sent flying by his own terrifying power.

"Holy crap, it's so hard?!"

Gu Tianchen got up, patted his butt, and reached out to recall the Fierce Dragon Halberd that had been blasted away.

Hearing the commotion below, dozens of dark figures fell from the top of the pyramid, revealing their true forms.

A mummy wrapped in golden bandages surrounded Gu Tianchen, accompanied by two silver mummies and four bronze mummies.

These mummies all exuded a terrifying aura, and the golden mummy in the lead was at the peak of the Klein realm, a half-step myth!

The silver mummy is at the Boundless Realm, while the bronze mummy, like Gu Tianchen, is at the Sea Realm.

We can't fight it, we simply can't fight it...

Gu Tianchen looked around and began searching for an escape route.

Swish!

The golden mummy swung its longsword in an instant, and a golden sword light cleaved Gu Tianchen's body in two!

boom! ! !

A violent explosion rang out, and the four bronze mummies that were about to rush forward were blown away. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Gu Tianchen had already fled with his halberd.

As Gu Tianchen flew into the air, he raised his middle finger at the mummies on the ground and said, "Idiots."

Swish!

The mummies rose from the ground and chased after Gu Tianchen.

"Holy crap! A mummy can fly? Does that even make sense?!"

"Fine, it's your territory, you call the shots. I'll make my escape first!"

Gu Tianchen didn't care about direction or location, and randomly chose a direction to fly with all his might.

But the golden mummy behind him was getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was closing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

hum!

The golden mummy raised its hand and unleashed a massive golden sword beam, leaving Gu Tianchen with no way to dodge.

"Let's give it our all!"

Gu Tianchen activated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and simultaneously activated the Earth Sovereign skill, covering his body with a thick layer of rock armor for double defense, thus taking the sword strike head-on!

boom! ! !

The enormous golden sword light slammed into Gu Tianchen, shattering his rock armor instantly. He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the water and creating a water column more than ten meters high.

The mummies quickly landed to investigate, searching for a long time, but found no trace of Gu Tianchen.

Suddenly, as if sensing something on the other side of the river, the golden mummy led its minions into the air and chased after the figure.

After all the mummies had left, Gu Tianchen emerged from the water.

If it weren't for his ability to breathe freely underwater and conceal his presence using the water-based supernatural power "Raging Waves," he probably would have been unable to hold his breath and surfaced long ago, only to be mistaken for a mermaid and pulled up by a group of mummies.

Fortunately, he used his divine fire clone to temporarily distract them, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Tianchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although that sword strike was far inferior to that of a Sword Saint, it was still unleashed by a peak Klein Realm expert.

Even with his advanced physical body at the fourth level of the Xuan Gong realm and the Earth Lord's defenses, he still couldn't withstand the attack and was injured.

Fortunately, he possessed the healing ability "Endless Life" to quickly restore his health, and it wouldn't be long before Gu Tianchen was back to full health.

Gu Tianchen was slowly swept away by the current. Since he didn't know where to escape to, he simply went downstream.

Even he himself didn't know where he could drift to, so those brainless mummies had even less chance of catching him.

Once my injuries have healed sufficiently, I'll figure out a way to demolish that dilapidated tower.

As Gu Tianchen lay on the river and drifted downstream, he suddenly noticed a bridge not far below the water.

This river looks quite wide; could it be the legendary Nile River?

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the Nile River was hailed as the River of Life, the source of the cycle of life and death, and legend has it that it could flow to the Egyptian underworld.

Could this section be the Nile's underworld branch?

As the water flowed closer, the massive stone bridge became increasingly clear.

The bridge was entirely gray-white, radiating a mystical aura, like an ancient dragon lying prostrate on the great river.

Gu Tianchen used his Netherworld Eye to look around and saw a stone tablet not far from the bridge.

On the stone tablet, three large characters are written in bright red regular script: Naihe Bridge!

Hey, it turns out to be the Bridge of Helplessness. I thought we had arrived at the Nile River.

and many more!

Gu Tianchen suddenly realized what was happening, and with a leap, he flew out of the river and landed in front of the stone tablet.

The Bridge of Helplessness?!

Where is the Bridge to the Underworld in Egypt?!

Even though he was just in the river, it's really illogical for a bridge to the underworld to appear in Egypt!

Could it be that Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, is a fan of the Xia Dynasty culture and has built a replica of the Bridge of Helplessness in his own underworld?

Gu Tianchen hurriedly used his Netherworld Eye to examine the grayish-white stone bridge over the river, but the bridge emitted a faint white light, as if it had fallen into some kind of slumber, making it impossible to determine its authenticity...

Looking completely bewildered, Gu Tianchen stared at the massive gray-white stone bridge before him, lost in thought...

Suddenly, the river began to churn, forming a huge whirlpool, as if something was about to emerge from the water!

Gu Tianchen summoned the Fiery Dragon Halberd with a flick of his wrist, staring warily at the whirlpool in the river.

Chapter 225 Beneath the River of Oblivion

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Before anything in the water could emerge, the mummy, who had returned, discovered Gu Tianchen's presence and surrounded him.

Gu Tianchen gripped the Fierce Dragon Halberd tightly, looked at the leading golden mummy, and said with a smile, "Hehe, as expected of something created by Anubis, its nose is even more sensitive than a dog's."

In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was torn into eight pieces by his brother Set, the god of deserts and storms.

Finally, Osiris's wife Isis and his sister-in-law Nephthys found his divine body and asked Anubis, the god of death, to create the first mummy, thus resurrecting him.

Therefore, mummies, these ghostly beings, are worshipped as the Egyptian god of the underworld, Osiris, and the god of death, Anubis.

Anubis could not stand being called a bastard or a dog-headed god.

In front of the mummies, Gu Tianchen mentioned Anubis, the god of death, and said that their noses were even more sensitive than dogs'.

Isn't this equivalent to cursing Erlang Shen in front of Xiaotianquan?

Who can tolerate this?!

Enraged, the golden mummy in the lead raised its long sword and slashed at Gu Tianchen!

clang!

From within the vortex, a white figure leaped out, using its arm to shield Gu Tianchen from the mummy's golden sword.

A terrifying energy shockwave rippled outwards, causing dozens of water columns to shoot into the sky from the river surface!

As Gu Tianchen watched the ancient beauty in a white dress withstand Klein's sword with her bare body, a strange thought popped into his mind.

Could this young lady be Sister Lan's long-lost sister?

Kapa?

The woman in white emanated a terrifying chill, which repelled the surrounding mummies.

Gu Tianchen asked with a curious expression, "Thank you for saving me, beautiful lady. May I ask who you are...?"

"Beneath the Bridge of Helplessness lies the River of Oblivion, where a bowl of clear soup can ferry people across the world."

The woman in white smiled and looked at Gu Tianchen, asking, "Can't you guess?"

Gu Tianchen's eyes widened. The Bridge of Helplessness, the River of Oblivion, a bowl of clear soup...

"Could you be the legendary Meng Po?!"

"Um...more or less. I'm the assistant who helps Lady Meng Po brew the Meng Po soup. You can call me Chen Yipin," the woman in white said earnestly.

“Miss Chen…”

“My surname isn’t Chen, it’s Tang,” the woman in white corrected.

"Tang? Tomson Group?! Is that a proper name?" Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow, feeling deceived.

The woman in white smiled playfully, "Just kidding, just call me Qinghan."

Seeing that the two of them completely disregarded them and even started arguing, the surrounding mummies raised their weapons and attacked.

"Wait a minute!"

Qinghan raised her hand to call a pause, then looked around at the mummies and said with her hands on her hips:

"So you're bullying the few with the many corpses? Anyone can call for backup!"

hum!

With a gentle snap of her fingers, Qinghan sent countless crystal-clear snowflakes slowly drifting down from the sky and falling into the River of Oblivion.

The once calm river surface was suddenly rippled with eddies, as dense as a hornet's nest.
