"Hongmeng Root!"
The moment he saw the Hongmeng root, there was no joy on Li Lingge's face, but his heart was trembling.
Because the figure sitting cross-legged under the tree slowly raised his head, revealing a face exactly the same as his.
"You're finally here." The other party's voice was like an echo under the ice of ten thousand years. "One hundred thousand souls of our fellow tribesmen have waited for you for too long."
"Who are you?"
Li Lingge chopped his way from the first floor to the eighteenth floor, and he had never felt so uneasy as he did now.
Moreover, he couldn't maintain this state for much longer.
The Xuanyuan Sword almost devoured the entire bloody and evil energy of the Divine Prison, and the guardians of the Divine Prison had already killed most of him.
At this moment, his body had already become swollen and reached the limit of what it could bear.
Cracks appeared all over his body, as if he would explode and die in the next moment.
"What? Don't you recognize them?"
Li Lingge slowly stood up and waved his sleeves, and the scene of the entire Hongmeng Prison suddenly changed!
The ground beneath Li Lingge's feet was no longer nothingness, but the familiar Emperor's Pass of the Jiuli Realm.
The setting sun was blood-red and corpses were everywhere.
Beneath the broken city wall, countless corpses of their own people were piled up. They were wearing familiar armor, their faces were either ferocious, or calm, or desperate, but without exception, their eyes were open!
"Li Lingge..."
"Li Lingge..."
"Li Lingge..."
Countless voices rang out from all directions. Those of his fellow tribesmen who died in the battle slowly got up, dragging their broken bodies, and approached him step by step.
"If you hadn't insisted on guarding the Imperial Pass, how could we have died?!"
"You can obviously withdraw!"
"You could have escaped with us!"
"But you insisted on fighting!"
"You killed us all!"
"Is it worth sacrificing 100,000 of our own kind for those ungrateful beasts of the Jiuli Realm?"
Vicious accusations came like a tide, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing Li Lingge's soul.
Li Lingge stood at the foot of Hongmeng's roots, a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Did you hear that?"
"They hate you!"
"You killed them!"
Li Lingge's fingertips trembled slightly. The 100,000 years in the Imperial Seclusion was the biggest nightmare of his life.
One hundred thousand of his fellow tribesmen died in the battle, their corpses piled up like mountains, their blood dyed the city walls red for a thousand miles, and he was the only one who survived.
Li Lingge's voice was like a thorn in his flesh, drilling into his ears.
"What do you think you are protecting?"
"You sacrificed a hundred thousand of your own kind just to gain a lifetime of fame!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that everyone has already forgotten your name, hahahaha!"
"What you bear is not the glory of protecting the human race, but the souls of a hundred thousand people who died because of you!"
boom!
Li Lingge's sea of consciousness shook violently, and Rāhu's Dharma image let out a painful roar.
Li Lingge's smile became more and more ferocious.
"Now, you still want to take the Hongmeng root, are you worthy?"
Li Lingge slowly raised his head, the blood color in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a bottomless coldness.
"Are you done?"
He suddenly spoke, his voice terrifyingly calm.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword roared deafeningly, and the blood-red sword light flashed like an upside-down river in the sky, shattering the entire illusion of the Imperial Pass into pieces.
Countless ghosts dissipated in the sword energy, but the whispers of resentment still echoed in Li Lingge's sea of consciousness.
"Do you think you can be freed by destroying the illusion?" Li Lingge sneered, his figure suddenly expanding. "These sins have long been engraved into your soul!"
Li Lingge suddenly groaned, and golden blood oozed out of his seven orifices.
He saw a hundred thousand blood-red curse lines appearing on his arms, each representing a fellow tribesman who died in battle.
"Kneel down and atone your sins." Li Lingge's voice drifted near and far, "This is the ending you deserve."
"Shut up!" Li Lingge suddenly shouted, "I will never forget their deaths."
He took a step forward, and with every step, the blood-colored curse pattern on his body became brighter.
"But their blood will not be shed in vain."
"I will bear their hatred."
"I will avenge them!"
One hundred thousand curse patterns suddenly broke away from his body and turned into a blood-red torrent in the void.
Li Lingge pointed his sword, and all the blood curses containing the obsession of his fellow tribesmen poured into the Xuanyuan Sword!
Li Lingge's expression finally changed.
"How is this possible!"
Li Lingge's voice regained its composure.
"My real sin is not leading them to death, but that the living are still afraid to face this heavy burden!"
The Xuanyuan Sword burst out with unprecedented light, and Li Lingge's figure completely overlapped with Luohou's Dharma image, turning into a blood-red rainbow that penetrated the sky and the earth!
"cut!"
As the sword flashed, Li Lingge's body shattered into pieces.
A look of fear finally appeared on the face that looked exactly like Li Lingge's.
"You can't kill me. Killing me is killing yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingge's body exploded.
Countless fragments of memory flew around, and Li Lingge saw scenes from the bloody battle at Diguan.
Li Lingge knelt on one knee, with the Xuanyuan Sword deeply inserted into the ground.
After all the illusions disappeared, the true Hongmeng root finally appeared.
It was a piece of broken wood, which seemed to contain endless primordial power.
Yin Shuiyue stood at the entrance of Hongmeng Prison, and her whole body had become numb.
She followed Li Lingge all the way from the first floor to the eighteenth floor, and the terrifying degree of the person in front of her kept refreshing in her eyes.
An Immortal Emperor, with just a sword in his hand, killed the Prison Lord and pierced through the eighteen levels of the Divine Prison.
