Chapter 1207 Conflict Outside the Door
Su Xuewei glanced at the door and said, "Besides, we can open this door."
As she spoke, she condensed an ice cone and stabbed it straight into the giant gate.
Before Su Xuewei finished her words, the huge door not far away seemed to be disturbed.
The twisted and wriggling magic patterns on the door suddenly lit up with a dim light, as if countless sleeping eyes were forcibly awakened.
A demonic pressure several times stronger than before, carrying strong malice and chaotic will, suddenly erupted!
Boom!
The dull thud did not come from the sound, but directly hit everyone's soul!
“Hmm!”
Su Xuewei was the first to be hit. She groaned and her pretty face turned pale in an instant. She took several steps back, and a trace of bright red appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The power she was so proud of was as fragile as thin ice in the face of this pure demonic pressure.
Su Youming and Su Lin's expressions also changed drastically, with ice-blue light flashing wildly around them, as they tried their best to resist the pervasive erosion and the maddening mutterings.
Their eyes were filled with horror, and at this moment they no longer had any doubt that the power contained behind this door was definitely related to the demon god recorded in the clan.
Just the aura it emitted was so terrifying, far surpassing any magical beast they had ever seen!
Luo Li, Bai Ze and Xuan Ye were well prepared and reacted very quickly.
The power of chaos spread from Luo Li's brows, like the toughest barrier, isolating the mental shock and negative thoughts brought by the demon's pressure. Her figure just swayed slightly.
The power of light around Bai Ze rippled like water, cleverly relieving most of the pressure that was heading straight for his soul.
Xuan Ye sneered, and the dark red air flow surged wildly. The devouring power even took the initiative to meet the pressure, biting and digesting the chaotic energy contained in it like a glutton.
The dark golden light in his eyes became even brighter, carrying a hint of bloodthirsty excitement.
"Idiot!" Xuan Ye mocked Su Xuewei without any hesitation, "You interrupted and disturbed this broken door!"
Su Youming's face turned pale, but he couldn't refute it. Su Xuewei's behavior was indeed reckless. If Luo Li and the others hadn't shared most of the pressure, the three of them would probably have lost their minds in an instant.
This cruel reality made him completely put aside his contempt for the people in Buli City, and he also understood why Bai Ze had warned before that it was not appropriate to take action here.
"What should we do now?" Su Lin's voice trembled slightly as he looked at Su Youming. "This pressure is too terrifying."
The ice-type spiritual power that he was proud of was melting rapidly like a thin layer of snow exposed to the edge of lava.
Su Youming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging blood and the tingling sensation in his soul, and looked at Luo Li with complicated eyes.
The three opponents were obviously more adapted to the demon's aura than them, especially Luo Li's strange power and Bai Ze's unfathomable control of space and light, which made him realize that if they wanted to get close to the door or even enter the ruins, they needed "allies", at least temporarily.
"Lord Luo," Su Youming's tone became more serious than ever, even carrying a hint of pleading. "We were reckless just now and disturbed this place. But the fragments of the Demon God's inheritance are of great importance and are not a matter for one family. If they are allowed to wander or get out of control, it will inevitably bring disaster to the entire Continent of Gods, and my Su family will not be immune."
He paused, looking directly into Luo Li's deep eyes. "We are willing to put aside our past grudges and assist the City Lord in entering the ruins and retrieving the fragments. My Su family's secret 'Mysterious Ice Soul-Calming Seal' is incredibly effective in stabilizing the mind and suppressing demonic energy, and may prove useful at a critical moment. I implore the City Lord to allow us to accompany you."
He was very humble, pointed out the interests involved, and also took out the actual bargaining chip, the Su family's secret technique.
The rapid change in attitude surprised Su Xuewei and Su Lin, but feeling the increasingly powerful pressure from the demon god, they could only remain silent.
Luo Li's eyes flickered as she quickly weighed the pros and cons.
The three members of the Su family are quite powerful, all at the one-star Saint Lord level, especially Su Youming, who has his own unique knowledge of the ice law.
If the "Mysterious Ice Soul-Calming Seal" is really as he said, it may be able to play an auxiliary role in resisting the erosion of the demon's will.
Taking them along certainly increases variables and possible internal hidden dangers, but in the face of these murderous demon ruins, having an extra force, especially a force that can fight against spiritual pollution, is not a bad thing.
Moreover, it is better to keep them under our noses than to let them do things in the dark.
"Okay." Luo Li made a prompt decision, her cold voice carrying unquestionable authority. "You can go with me. But there are three rules: First, after entering the ruins, all actions must be under my command and not on your own initiative. Second, if you encounter an irresistible crisis, your top priority is to protect yourself and pass on the message. Third, if anyone has ulterior motives, deserts the battlefield, or stabs you in the back..."
Her eyes were like lightning, sweeping over the three people from the Su family, and finally fell on Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye cooperated and grinned, revealing a cold and bloodthirsty smile.
Su Youming's heart trembled, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Su Youming/Su Lin/Su Xuewei hereby swear that after entering the ruins, we will follow the orders of City Lord Luo and work together to deal with the danger of the demon fragments. If we disobey, we will be punished by the laws of heaven and die!"
Behind him, Su Lin and Su Xuewei, feeling somewhat unwilling, had no choice but to follow suit and swear an oath.
"Very good." Luo Li nodded slightly and said no more. Her attention was focused back on the huge door emitting an ominous glow.
The burst of pressure seemed only a prelude. The magic pattern light on the door swirled faster and brighter, eventually converging at the center of the tightly closed door, forming a rapidly spinning, deep, dark vortex that seemed to devour everything.
As soon as the vortex was formed, an irresistible huge suction force suddenly came.
"Be careful!" Bai Ze shouted softly, using the power of light to try to stabilize everyone's bodies.
But that suction force was not simply the force of space, it was more like the summoning and devouring from the origin of the demon god, with a powerful spiritual pull.
"The door is open! It's the entrance!" Xuan Ye's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. Instead of being afraid, he took the initiative to step forward against the suction.
"Now is the time! Keep calm and resist the erosion!" Luo Li's voice penetrated the chaotic suction and reached everyone's ears clearly.
The chaotic jade light between her eyebrows shone brightly, and a circle of more condensed clear light protected the three people on her side. At the same time, a ray of soft power was separated, which also enveloped the three people from the Su family who had sworn an oath.
Su Youming and the other two suddenly felt that the crazy mumbling and the feeling of soul being torn apart disappeared, and they were even more afraid and grateful for Luo Li's strange power.
They did not dare to delay and immediately activated the Su family's secret method. The ice-blue spiritual power formed a thin layer of crystal-like armor on the surface of their bodies to stabilize their minds.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The six figures could no longer resist the terrifying suction force. As if they were grabbed by an invisible giant hand, they were suddenly dragged towards the dark vortex in the center of the huge door!
With a flash of light, the six people, along with the Holy Light that had not yet recovered its human form, instantly disappeared into the vortex.
The desert returned to its dead silence once again, with only the Demon God's Gate, which was a hundred feet high. The magic patterns on its surface still emitted a faint light. The vortex in the center of the door was slowly rotating, like a giant mouth that was ready to devour its prey, waiting for its next prey.
The dizziness caused by the spatial change receded like the tide, and the feeling of solid ground came, but it was not hard rock or soft gravel.
Luo Li steadied herself, the power of chaos flowing through her body, instantly dispelling all discomfort.
She looked around immediately. Bai Ze and Xuan Ye regained consciousness almost at the same time as her. The three of them formed a triangle, vigilantly observing this space that had been contaminated by the power of the demon god for who knows how many years.
The three people from the Su family who followed closely behind looked a little more embarrassed.
Su Xuewei's face was pale. She staggered when she landed and was barely able to stand steady after being supported by Su Lin. It was obvious that the pressure and mental shock of the demon in the space channel had a great impact on her.
Su Youming's condition was slightly better, but there was still a trace of fear in his eyes. He quickly activated the Mysterious Ice Soul-Calming Seal, and a layer of light blue ice crystal luster covered his body surface, resisting the ubiquitous erosion.
What you see before you is enough to shock anyone.
They seemed to be under a huge and boundless underground dome, but it was not a natural cave.
Sky……
If that twisting and wriggling dark red light curtain could be called the sky.
The dark red light curtain hung low and suppressed, emitting an ominous red light, like a solidified blood scab.
This light did not come from the sun, but from space itself, dyeing everything a sickly dark red.
Under my feet was a huge, cracked black stone slab that extended into the passage at the end of my sight.
The stone slabs were not smooth, but showed a tragic scene after being bombarded and torn apart by a terrifying force. The huge pits were like the scars of a giant beast, bottomless.
Many places were even covered with a sticky, dark purple moss that emitted a faint phosphorescent glow and undulated slightly with the flow of air, as if a living thing was breathing.
The most frightening thing was the countless twisted stone pillars standing in the huge square where they were.
They are not regular cylinders, but rather present an extremely uncomfortable shape, as if they were forcibly twisted and stretched, like solidified howls of pain.
The surface of the column was covered with potholes and deep scratches, with dark stains like solidified plasma flowing through it, and it emitted a strong smell of rust and corruption.
On top of many stone pillars stand some grotesque and indescribable statues. Some of them have multiple eyes and limbs, or their bodies are twisted to a weird degree. Just looking at them can make people dizzy and their souls hurt.
The air was filled with a heavy, suffocating pressure. It was pure, the pressure of a demon that had accumulated for countless tens of thousands of years, mixed with negative thoughts of despair, madness, and bloodthirstiness.
Every breath I took felt like I was inhaling cold iron filings and rotten dust, stinging my throat.
"This... is this the interior of the Demon God's ruins?" Su Xuewei's voice was obviously trembling. She subconsciously approached Su Youming. The ice crystal armor on her body flashed rapidly, trying her best to resist the pervasive mental erosion.
Su Lin's face also looked extremely ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
