When Luo Fan looked out through the lake, he discovered that the space above the lake had been partially distorted. The seven demon kings occupied different positions, controlling various parts of the formation.
The spatial nodes that I had previously set up in the air also fell into this distorted space, and even the spatial gaps within it disappeared.
Could this be some kind of deadly formation?
Luo Fan threw out several stones, which were instantly shredded into pieces by the formation, without even a single fragment falling.
There seemed to be a sense of desolation and decay inside, and Luo Fan felt that his small body probably couldn't withstand such an atmosphere.
If walking in the air won't work, surely walking through the ground won't be a problem, since I still have the Earth Escape Inscription.
Thinking this, Luo Fan attempted to break through the thick wall, which was also filled with a large amount of death energy, forming a solid spatial death barrier. There was no way to escape from here.
What's even more frustrating is that the lake here doesn't obey the water-based inscriptions' commands; the water element content is almost nonexistent. It's called a pool, but there's no water in it; it's just a large accumulation of magical energy, and the aura of the abyss is unusually strong.
Since we can't run from here, nor can we directly cross the space above, we have to think of other ways.
By the way, don't I already have Yangling Wood in my possession?
Activating the energy within, Luo Fan discovered that he could now stand still in the water, and even found some of the Demon King's original power, which should be that Demon King's clone.
After collecting some, Luo Fan continued to refine them, and his level soared again, finally stopping at level 100. He could even vaguely sense that threshold, but he always felt that he was still missing a lot.
After breaking through to the next level, the magic core inside your body will become legendary. So why bother collecting other magic cores?
Could it be that the magic core of my own body has other uses?
Without dwelling on that question, Luo Fan's focus remained on the formation. Since it could obliterate other matter, he wondered what would happen to the lake water; the aura of death within it was incredibly thick.
Luo Fan conjured several small orbs filled with the power of death and threw them at the location of the succubus, discovering that this was the weak point of the formation.
The ball didn't disappear suddenly after being thrown in; instead, it passed right through, and the succubus hurriedly dodged it.
The formation only trembled slightly before returning to calm. They probably knew this thing couldn't be easily destroyed, so they didn't deal with it, but they quickly blocked the ball's trajectory, guiding it back into the pool.
"Since you can't handle this power, I'm making my escape!" Luo Fan muttered, continuously sending small balls hurtling towards the succubus while keeping an eye on the spatial fluctuations within. Taking advantage of a gap in the space, he slipped away.
The ultimate killing formation is nothing special. Luckily, I managed to snatch the Yangling Wood first.
The moment he broke free of the formation, he sensed the guidance of the crystal within his body; the alluring treasure was not in this area.
"That little rascal ran away!"
"But the succubus and that woman are still down there!" Little Mei was still unwilling to give up. As long as she could capture her sister, she would have a way to refine her pure lust spirit.
In order to gain the help of other demon kings and win the final selection, she had already lost her pure body and could no longer condense that spirit.
Before she could finish speaking, the arrogant demon king hurriedly left, and the other demon kings also left one after another, leaving only the clone of jealousy behind.
The deadly formation was quickly dispelled, and the lake returned to its original calm.
"There's no use in worrying now, since you can't go down anyway. Just send someone to guard this area." After saying that, the Jealousy clone sat down and entered meditation.
"Alright!" Gazing at the deep lake, Xiao Mei stamped her foot, no longer hesitating. She muttered something and soon summoned many magical beasts to guard the area with her.
outside world.
Several days have passed since the last incident. The most serious thing that happened on the mainland was that the Fisher Empire was raided and almost the entire royal family was killed.
With a large number of people fleeing the capital, the capital has become almost a ghost town, except for a few large families who haven't moved out yet and some slackers who are just looking for a bargain.
Strangely, the Saint Sisca Empire did not take the opportunity to reclaim the lost Holy Flame City. Nor did the Heifel Empire actively invade that territory; both remained unusually calm.
The Demon Sealing Tower proactively sent people to stabilize the situation there. Besides that, contact with the Hefir Empire became increasingly frequent.
A secret room in the basement.
The soul-devouring beast Gabi, which Patty had once sensed, slowly opened its eyes. Having devoured too much and too mixed divine consciousness, it needed a long enough time to erase the resentment within.
Just now, it received a message from its owner: the kitten they had caught together had escaped, and it was to keep an eye on it to prevent the creature from returning to the Lost Continent.
That little black kitten?
Gabby slept for so long that he almost forgot what had happened before, unless his owner reminded him.
I still have to do what my master told me to do, or the consequences will be severe. Anyway, there are so many useful tools up there. After confirming that guy's location, I can go back to sleep for a while!
After yawning and giving a few instructions to the elder, he began to spread his divine sense in all directions.
Oh, the kitten is still nearby! That's great!
After saying that, Gabi began chanting a troublesome incantation. Having done all that, he swallowed a few more fresh soul crystals and then closed his eyes again.
Here in Shadow Valley.
Patty immediately sensed something was wrong. She discovered that her man had actually woken up and had also awakened the special Soul-Chasing Mark that had been left on her.
What do we do now?
Once that bastard returns, I'll definitely be unable to escape that Soul-Eating Beast's pursuit. If it weren't for this mark, I wouldn't have been in such a passive position back then.
Sigh, I wonder what's going on with the master now.
After this period of rest and recuperation, Patty has almost fully recovered. Once her master comes out, she plans to confront the Soul-Devouring Beast again, lest she be left with no chance to escape.
After all, the master could even digest the chains formed by divine sense, so dealing with the soul-devouring beast and handling this divine soul imprint shouldn't be a problem for him.
The two women below, without the blessing of the inscription, are just wasting their time trying to figure out other uses for divine power.
After looking around for a while and finding nothing, Patty lost interest and disappeared back into the darkness.
I'll just get some rest and wait for my owner to come back.
The Abyss of Demons.
Without Lilith by his side, Luo Fan moved more nimbly, feeling no pressure even with several demon kings following behind him.
Even after he splits into multiple forms, their goal remains to pursue his divine will, which is troublesome because he can't get rid of them.
The Abyss is vast, divided into many layers and areas. Some areas are exquisitely constructed, while others are dilapidated, reeking of decay, and littered with corpses.
As Luo Fan fled, he left spatial nodes along the way. He did not deliberately flee to the place indicated by the crystal, but kept circling around to avoid those bastards setting up other traps in advance.
He traversed various spaces, getting closer and closer to his target, until he finally arrived at a place filled with bloodshed.
In the center of the blood pool, there is a huge purple stone platform. At the bottom of the platform, facing the blood pool, is a tightly closed door.
That must be the so-called Gate to the Abyss, right?
