Chapter 744: Divine Punishment
Coming to the Black Jungle again, Ye Shuo couldn't help frowning. It looks as if it has been looted, and in the distance, you can see a large number of fallen earth pits, collapsed trees, dust, and a withered appearance.
Could it be that someone also noticed the hidden history of the black jungle and rushed ahead of him? Ye Shuo's heart was in his throat. Judging from the traces of the broken trees, they were cut off by a rather sharp gangqi, and the soil pit was also deeply sunk, and the broken stones on the side were directly shaken into powder. To be able to cause such damage, I am afraid that the strength of the comer is ...... And on top of yourself!
I don't know if that person is still here...... Ye Shuo's handprint changed, superimposing the Qi Gathering Technique with the Spirit Escape Technique, and walked cautiously into the depths step by step.
Stepping over several overlapping tree trunks again, I suddenly saw a huge monster lying on its back on the ground with its feet facing the sky. Ye Shuo was startled, and stayed aside to observe carefully, and only after a while did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
In his senses, the monster was already dying, the demonic power around it fluctuated from time to time, and the eight dry legs were constricted to his side, and a pool of blood spread under his body...... Wait, eight-legged?
"Spider Queen?" Ye Shuo exclaimed. At this time, this shriveled spider lying and dying is too far away from the majestic and bewitching beauty in his memory, could it be that it is also related to the enemy who came to attack?
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Shuo shouted as he raised his palm to heal her with source power.
To unravel the secrets of 2,000 years ago, she is an important breakthrough, and she must not be allowed to die like this!
The transparent spiritual power swirled in the air, turning into pure demonic power and entering the Spider Queen's body. The limbs of the Weidun gradually plumped up at a visible speed. Finally, she seemed to regain some strength and slowly opened her eyes.
"You...... It's you ......."
Looking at the young man in front of him, the old things from many years ago came back to her heart, and the spider queen sighed weakly, she didn't expect that it would be him who saved her today.
"Don't talk too much, tell me what's going on!" Ye Shuo interrupted in one gulp. Could it be that this could be the hands of the people of the Nine Shadows Palace?
The Spider Queen looked at him, moved her chapped lips, and said softly, "Before, there was a ...... A foreign powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm came to my Black Jungle and injured me with just one blow...... He also tried to snoop on my memories ......"
"What part of the memory is it?" Ye Shuo asked.
"No...... I don't know......" There was a faint hollowness in the Spider Queen's eyes, "It seems to be, about the 'unspeakable age'......"
"You can't say the age, what is that?" Ye Shuo already had a vague guess in his heart.
"It is said that ...... It's about the past of a big man...... So all parties have issued strict orders, all members are not allowed to speak......" The Spider Queen smiled bitterly, "Over time, it has become the ...... of 'unspeakable era'"
Ye Shuo stepped forward suddenly: "Was it two thousand years ago? Think about it carefully, is it the period when Zichu and Cangping were destroyed by you one after another?"
The Spider Queen shook her head painfully: "No...... Don't say ......"
Looking at her hard look, somehow, a few flashes of light flashed in Ye Shuo's mind one after another. There are some important things that seem to have been ignored by themselves, and at this moment, they just happened to be connected together, forming a vague guess ......!
"Spider Queen, what realm are you in now?" Seeing that she was confused, Ye Shuo became even more excited, "You haven't survived the divine tribulation, have you?"
"When I first met you in the Black Jungle, you were already a high-level demon beast, and you were only one step away from crossing the God Tribulation...... Two thousand years ago, when you attacked the Purple Chu Kingdom, you were also in the same realm......"
"You and the Heavenly Beast should have lived in the same period, because it is an ancient divine beast, and it is extremely difficult to cross the divine tribulation, but even if you don't cross the tribulation, your strength is far beyond the ordinary magical beasts and demon beasts. But why are you ...... And you haven't been able to cross the catastrophe?"
"If it's a bottleneck in cultivation, could it be that it has been a bottleneck for more than 2,000 years? And more importantly, ...... Even if the lifespan of demon beasts and humans is calculated differently, how can you, who have not survived the divine tribulation, have a long lifespan of more than 2,000 years?"
"There's really some reason for this...... Ye Shuo held his chin with one hand and deliberately lowered his voice, "Does it have anything to do with that?"
"I ...... I don't know anything......" The demonic power in the Spider Queen's body stirred for no reason, "but, but more than two thousand years ago...... Suddenly, I received the 'rules'......"
"The 'rules' tell me that from now on, I must not step out of the Black Jungle, or I will die...... Nor shall I survive the tribulation, nor my children and grandchildren......"
"But, this is too strange, isn't it!" Ye Shuo exclaimed, "Haven't you ever thought of violating these prohibitions?"
The Spider Queen smiled wryly: "That's the 'rule'...... Just like you human beings, you have known since you were a child that 'if you are killed, you will die', and you have thought about deliberately being killed once, trying to see if you will die?"
Looking up at the sky, she sighed a long sigh: "Rules are already a part of the operation of the universe, and they must not be violated......"
"I don't believe it!" Ye Shuo slammed his fist on the ground, trembling with excitement, "Such a rule is completely unreasonable! Human beings are also afraid of the unknown, but every time, it is when they bravely take steps of exploration that they promote the development of the times! If you don't give it a try, how will you know?"
"Come on, your current realm is already the peak of the ninth-order demon beast, as long as you want, you can trigger the divine tribulation at any time. I'm here to watch for you now, and if anything happens, I'll do it right away!"
The Spider Queen struggled in fear, and all eight legs were entrenched in front of her: "No...... No...... Will die...... Really going to die......"
Next, Ye Shuo tried his best to speak, but the Spider Queen always refused strongly. In the end, Ye Shuo also gave up his efforts to persuade her, and arched his hand towards her: "Sorry, I offended!" and used enough spiritual power to pass into her body.
The Spider Queen's once-decaying demonic power rose rapidly under the stimulation of this external energy, and soon reached the critical point of the ninth-order demon beast, and accelerated to impact the barrier of the Demon Sect.
"No...... Don't ......," the Spider Queen let out a long cry, "beg for ...... Please...... I don't want to die...... Don't force me to ......" Although she wanted to forcibly suppress it, but now her serious injuries have not healed, and she can't use any strength, so she can only feel the demon power in her body soaring, and she collides with the thin critical point again and again, and the "rules" are also ringing at the same time.
"I won't die!" Ye Shuo stared at her firmly, and at the same time added another spiritual power in his hand, "I promise you, I will never die!"
The torrent finally broke through the fragile embankment, and a majestic demonic force rose into the sky, unfolding a huge whirlpool between the clouds, and the sky, which was still bright at dusk, instantly darkened in this area, as if it was about to rain.
Ye Shuo jumped backwards and avoided the range of the Tribulation. The last time the Divine Tribulation was crossed, Qing Xiangxiong had already told him that if unrelated people approached rashly, the Heavenly Punishment would be triggered, and the Divine Tribulation would be directly expanded into two parts, and the power would be doubled at the same time. At the moment, I'm only in the early stage of the gas level, so it's better not to get involved. But his spiritual power is still highly operating in his body, ready to be rescued at any time.
Thunderclouds piled up, strings of lightning intertwined and rolled, the spider queen let out a terrible scream, and saw a thunderbolt as thick as a water tank falling down quickly, splitting half of the sky, and the figure of the spider queen was also wiped out in the punishment of the roaring blue sky, only the unfinished sorrow, the aftermath lingered, and it did not disperse for a long time.
"How...... How could this be?" Ye Shuo was dumbfounded. It was happening so fast that he didn't have a chance to go out and stop it. And unlike the "step-by-step" of the previous Divine Tribulation, Fang Cai's Divine Tribulation is clearly a one-hit death, leaving no room for ......
The Spider Queen, a powerful demon beast with two thousand years of demonic power accumulation, really died under the first thunder tribulation......
Is it true that there is some kind of force interfering with her crossing the tribulation? Ye Shuo looked at the pit that had been split by the thunder tribulation in a daze, and there was still a circle of black stains left around it. Cangping ...... Spider Queen...... ...... Black Jungle ...... I can't say the age...... Chaotic threads swirled in his mind, a faint thread interspersed and swirled, trying to connect everything together.
...... He had every reason to hate the Spider Queen. After all, in his most proud era, it was the Spider Queen who destroyed the Cangping Kingdom and ruined everything...... He hated King Zhuo Yi, and he also hated the Spider Queen, so he smeared King Zhuo Yi in the history books, and issued a divine punishment to the Spider Queen, who would never be allowed to survive the catastrophe and become holy, and wanted his enemies to live better than death......
……
Leaving the black jungle, Ye Shuo trekked through mountains and rivers according to the address on the leaflet, and came to the "Tiangongmen Assessment Crash Training Course".
The identity of the Lord of the Nine Shadows Hall probably already has an answer. As for how he escaped when the Cangping Kingdom was destroyed, and how he was favored by the master of the Heavenly Palace afterwards, these are impossible to know for the time being.
Next, it's time for him to start making some preparations for his own business.
"Ye Shuo, what do you want? Don't be stunned, there is the student apartment in front, come with me, and the tutor will arrange a place for you." ”
Different from the legendary mystery, the mentor who met Ye Shuo was very amiable, eagerly introducing Ye Shuo to the scenery along the way, as well as some trivial things in life. This reminded him of the mentors in Zhiyuan Academy.
"Good mentor. Ye Shuo responded, and then casually observed the surrounding scenery.
However, compared to Zhiyuan Academy, it does seem a little different here, but what is the difference, Ye Shuo can't say why. I had to shake my head at the moment, maybe I was a little nervous because I finally came here.
The tutor on the side seemed to see Ye Shuo's embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "Ye Shuo, you don't have to worry, coming here is equivalent to having a pass to the Heavenly Palace Gate. The next thing you have to do is give yourself to our training course. It won't take long for you to get used to life here and enjoy it. ”
Ye Shuo scratched his scalp noncommittally. For him, he doesn't need too many bells and whistles, as long as it can make him stronger, really stronger, that's enough.
Different from the domineering on the leaflet, when the so-called "student apartment" appeared in front of him, Ye Shuo subconsciously frowned. This environment ...... Isn't that too simple?
It's a dormitory, but it's rather a dilapidated and abandoned building, with a low floor, but it looks very dangerous—the corners are mottled, the exterior walls are cracked, and it looks like it's about to collapse.
The interior is as shabby as it looks from the outside, so shabby that one wonders if it's in the wrong place.
The instructor explained in a timely manner: "As the saying goes, with the fame of our training class, there are countless students who come here this time, but because the tuition fee is almost non-charged, the daily expenses are equivalent to the tutors paying out of their own pockets, so the dormitory may be a little crowded, which you must understand." ”
Ye Shuo shrugged his shoulders, although the environment here was indeed a big disappointment for him, and it didn't look like a formal official organization. But for now, there is no hurry, let's wait until I have heard a few cultivation courses before deciding to stay in the future. If you can really complete a short-term sprint, even if it is a "wild road", it doesn't hurt to take a walk.
The corridor in front of me was extremely long, like a deep alley with no bottom in sight. On both sides were neatly arranged dormitory doors, but for some reason, there was not a single window to illuminate such a long corridor, only a few dim old lamps, emitting a faint glow. Or because of disrepair, there are still a few broken lights. This also makes the whole corridor look even darker.
The dim light flickered and spread out all the way, as if the devil had opened its huge mouth, waiting for the lost traveler to step in on his own.
"Tread-tread—"
The tutor walked all the way with staggered steps, accompanied by a gloomy echo, and did not forget to introduce everything here to Ye Shuo. seemed to notice that the other party was stunned behind, and reminded with a smile: "Ye Shuo, this way is gone." ”
"Ahh
Seeing this, the tutor frowned slightly, as if he thought that Ye Shuo's behavior was very unsightly, and then seemed to think of something, smiled gently, and pointed to a wooden door in front of him with peeling paint: "Ye Shuo, your dormitory is this one." ”
Ye Shuo nodded, looked at the situation, and saw the number "01758" written on the door number. Then the tutor took out a black card from his pocket, and gently pressed it on the door, and the swarthy dormitory door opened automatically after making a tooth-squeaking sound.
For some reason, seeing this door, Ye Shuo couldn't help but think of a prison, or a dungeon, as if after entering, he could never get out.
