Chapter 140 Pyloric Deadlock, Voice of Doomsday
Seeing that the entrance was exposed, the leader of the men in black rushed towards Xiao Yu desperately, trying to stop him from entering.
"Get out of here!"
Killing intent was boiling in Xiao Yufeng's eyes, and he swung a knife with his backhand!
This knife strike was incredibly fast and incredibly tricky! The blade flashed like a ghost, instantly bypassing the long sword that the leader of the men in black was blocking, leaving a deep wound on his chest that was visible to the bone!
The leader of the men in black screamed and flew backwards, where he was caught by two priests of the Wugut tribe. He was already breathing in more than out.
Xiao Yu no longer looked at them, his eyes fixed on the deep cave entrance.
"Xuan Yi, you take your men here to cover our retreat and wipe out the remaining evil!" He ordered in a deep voice, "Master Ouye Manor, Taoist Qinghe, follow me!"
"yes!"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone responded in unison.
However, just as Xiao Yu was about to jump into the cave first, the black-armored guard who was supporting Ajiu suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"Your Highness! I divined that she...she's awake!"
Xiao Yu's figure suddenly stopped, and he turned back to the center of the team in an instant.
Ah Jiu had opened her eyes at some point. Her face was still as pale as a sheet, but her golden pupils were surprisingly bright. She struggled to her feet and stumbled to Xiao Yu's legs, her small hands clinging tightly to his armor.
"Brother Xiongxiong...we can't go down...down there...there's a huge mouth down there...waiting for us..." Her voice was weak and rapid.
"Ajiu, don't be afraid." Xiao Yu squatted down and tried to comfort her, "I must go down."
"No! It's not a trap!" Jiu shook his head desperately, tears welling up in his eyes. "It's... it's a door! A locked door! That wicked grandpa with a broken arm is standing in front of the door! He... he's smiling!"
Chu Xuanyi's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and he immediately stepped forward quickly: "Your Highness, wait a minute!"
He took out the compass from his arms, only to see that the compass needle was no longer spinning, but was shaking and jumping violently as if it were crazy, as if it would break at any time!
"What a powerful restriction..." Chu Xuanyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat for the first time. "Miss Jiu is right. There must be the highest level of sealing barrier set up by the Black Bone Tribe below! This power... I'm afraid it was set up by the elder of the tribe, using his own blood essence and the original power of the Netherworld Heart!"
At this moment, a hoarse, old, yet full of endless malice laughter, as if it could penetrate the rocks and soil, came out slowly from the deep cave.
"Hehehe... Xiao Yu, Chu Xuanyi... you are finally here."
It was the voice of the elder with the broken arm!
"I thought you guys would be faster, but I didn't expect those idiots outside to take so long."
Xiao Yu stood up, staring coldly at the cave entrance, and said in a deep voice: "Old thief, do you think a barrier can stop me?"
"Block it? Haha... why would you block it?" The elder's voice was filled with mockery and ridicule. "This 'pyloric deadlock' isn't meant to stop you. It's a grave prepared for you...!"
"Cousin," Prince Yu Xiao Jing's somewhat manic laughter echoed, "My dear cousin, do you hear that? This beautiful sound... It's the Heart of the Underworld calling you! It will soon awaken completely and merge with me! When that happens, I will be the only god in this world! And you... will all become the most wonderful sacrifices when the new god is born!"
"Bang!"
As if to confirm his words, an extremely heavy heartbeat suddenly came from deep underground!
The sound was so loud that the entire ground shook!
“Bang!!”
Another sound! Heavier and louder than before!
Everyone felt as if their hearts were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, their blood boiling and their heads dizzy!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heartbeats are getting faster and faster, more and more frequent, like the death-demanding drumbeats on the battlefield, striking hard into the depths of everyone's soul!
The massive black vortex above Prince Yu's Mansion began to spin wildly at an unprecedented speed, following the sound of the heartbeat! More Netherworld Qi, pure to the point of near-liquidity, poured down from the boundary gate like black waterfalls!
Across the capital, the evil spirits temporarily suppressed by Chu Xuanyi's formations began to grow restless. In some areas deeply eroded by the Netherworld's aura, new stone demons and vine monsters began to struggle to crawl out from the ground and walls!
"Not good!" Chu Xuanyi looked at the sky, his face pale. "The ritual has reached its final moments! We have no time left! We must break the barrier immediately!"
"Master Ouye, Taoist Qinghe, gather all our strength!" Xiao Yu made a quick decision and gave another order, "Strike together and blast it open for me!"
"yes!"
The old owner of Ouye Manor, Taoist Qinghe, and all the masters present immediately pushed their own skills to the extreme!
For a moment, sword energy was everywhere, starlight was shining brightly, and everyone's power began to converge towards Xiao Yu!
Xiao Yu raised his long sword high, pouring all his strength into the blade like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea! The black-gold long sword emitted a humming sound as it could not bear the heavy burden. The black lightning and golden sword energy on the blade intertwined crazily, forming a terrifying power that could destroy heaven and earth!
"cut!!!"
Xiao Yu roared, and swung the sword, which contained the world's top combat power, fiercely towards the deep cave entrance!
This knife seemed to split the earth completely!
However--
"boom!!!!!"
A translucent black light curtain appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the cave!
Xiao Yu's devastating sword slashed fiercely on the light curtain, erupting with a deafening roar! The entire Prince Yu's Mansion shook violently, and countless ruins were reduced to dust by the shockwave!
However, the black light curtain only twisted and sank violently, creating ripples, but in the end... it still held on tenaciously!
"puff!"
The old owner of Ouye Manor and several masters with weaker skills behind Xiao Yu were shocked by the recoil of the force and all spat out blood. Their faces instantly became dull.
Xiao Yu himself was also shocked by this huge recoil force, his palms became numb, his blood surged, and he took three steps back!
He looked in disbelief at the barrier which had only grown dim but remained intact. For the first time, horror appeared in his phoenix eyes.
"How... is it possible?!"
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The wild laughter of Prince Yu and the clan elders came again from behind the barrier, full of pride and disdain.
"It's useless, Xiao Yu!" The elder's voice was filled with pleasure. "This 'Pylorus Death' is directly connected to the origin of the Nether Heart! Every attack of yours will not only fail to destroy it, but will instead be like adding fuel to a fire, converting your power into nourishment for the Nether Heart's awakening!"
"Look up at the sky, and look down at your feet!" Prince Yu laughed wildly. "Cousin, thank you so much for that knife! You really helped me a lot! Hahahaha!"
Everyone looked up in shock, only to see that the vortex in the sky had expanded even further after the previous attack! And the heartbeat coming from underground also became stronger and more powerful!
Their all-out attack not only failed to break the door, but instead... accelerated the progress of the ceremony!
A deep despair began to spread in everyone's hearts.
It can't be broken, and it can't be wasted.
Is it really... that's the end?
“No…that’s not right…”
Just when everyone was wavering, a faint but extremely clear voice rang out.
It’s Ajiu.
Her little face was pale and her whole body was trembling, but her golden eyes were fixed on the black barrier light curtain without blinking.
"That door...it's crying..."
