Chapter 996: Shadow Demon's Sincerity
Towering palaces stand tall on mountain peaks, flanked by sharp vaults and flying buttresses.
On the slender pillars, there are dense blue candles, of different lengths, but all of them are lit with blue lights.
Even so, walking under the tall flying vault still has a very dim, underlit feeling.
One is because there is not enough light in your world.
The second reason is that the owner here doesn't really need it, and he doesn't like that kind of bright environment very much.
The Flying Dome was erected between the two towering mountain walls, but the lower mountain walls seemed to have been cut by a knife, and they appeared extremely flat but not smooth.
The mountain wall is also full of rows of lattices, and the lattices are recessed from the surface of the mountain wall to create a natural exhibition stand.
As for the paper on those exhibition stands, they are not treasures, but heads of different sizes and age spans!
The people who changed the Yang Realm would definitely want to leave very much when they walked here, but the people walking on the corridor at this time did not have any expression on their faces.
If you really want to say something terrifying, the evil aura and evil aura in his own body are enough to make the most murderous people in the world shudder when they see it!
Not to mention just some ordinary ghost fires and skulls, even if a group of real skeletons stood in front of him, the one who needed to be scared was not the person at the moment.
There are no cornices and corners, dancing pavilions, and no complicated carvings and superfluous pendants, here, there are just white bones and dead souls!
There is no plaque in the Hall of the Death Bell, just a huge bone bell hanging in the place where the plaque should have been hung!
Every day, the huge bone bell will ring by itself, and the strange bell will spread from the top of this hall, until it reaches the edge of the territory under the jurisdiction of the bone clan, and this process will be exactly a whole day, when the bell of the death knell spreads to the edge of the territory of the bone clan, outside the death knell hall, the bell of the second day will be remembered again.
The location of Death Valley is not in the center of the Bone Clan's territory, and the Bone Clan's territory is not a circular territory, but close to a long strip, so logically speaking, if the speed of the bell transmission is constant, then when the bells on the east and west sides have not traveled half the distance of the territory, the bell of the death knell should have come to the edge of the territory on the north and south sides, but in fact, no matter which direction it starts and which direction it ends, the bell will reach the edge of the territory at the last moment of the day, and no one knows how this is doneใ
However, the death knell is a holy artifact in its own right, and it is not surprising that it can have such abilities.
After all, the so-called holy weapon is actually a tool for preaching!
In this world, there are actually far more immortals who have achieved the True One than imagined, and the people in the Yang Realm know that they are only those True One Immortals in the Yang Realm, and even those who have ascended in the Yang Realm, there are many people who are unknown.
In Hades, this is even more common.
The reason why the Bone Clan and the Demon Clan have been the overlords of the Abyss and even above the Blood Moon for such a long time is because there has been a True One powerhouse among their clans.
It's just that after these strong people achieved the true one, they didn't appear in the yang world, or they just showed up in the yang world, and they were forced to go back by the real one master in the yang world, all in all, they never showed up among the humans in the yang world.
But they do exist in this world, and the death knell hanging outside the Death Knell Hall is the best proof of this.
That man's name is Hades!
Born as a human being, when he was in the Yang Realm, he was just an ordinary cultivator, who had cultivated diligently all his life, but he was just a Yuan Dan Realm, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through in the end, and after the Shou Yuan was exhausted, his soul returned to the Netherworld, and after death, he was reincarnated as a skeleton in the incarnation pool of the Bone Clan!
Who would have thought that the flesh and blood body was an extremely precious treasure for others, but for him, it was a cage that imprisoned his true talent.
After losing his physical body, after entering the Yellow Spring, without the shackles of flesh and blood, his talent began to manifest step by step!
One year after his reincarnation, he became a Silver Bone Skeleton, and the next year, he became a Golden Bone Skeleton, and after that, in less than three hundred years, he walked step by step to the end of the Bone Clan's cultivation path, becoming the first True One Immortal to preach with the power of death!
And the legendary Hades is also the only one in the entire abyss world who has successfully unified the entire abyss and the blood moon and become the overlord of the underworld!
Before him, whether it was the Abyss or the Blood Moon, it was chaos, and each race was in its own way, making friends from afar and attacking closely, and fighting happily.
After his ascension, this short-lived situation of great unification ended again, and the abyss and blood moon returned to ** again.
Few people in the abyss know about these things, but above the blood moon, quite a few people are clear.
The legend of the so-called Hades has always existed in the Yang Realm, but he has never heard of it when he comes to the abyss, and it has always been a puzzled place in Jiang Ning's heart.
But when he successfully ascended to the Blood Moon, he heard this story from Lian Po, and although there were many things in this underworld that were different from the versions he had heard in the Yang Realm before, it was obvious that the legend of Hades was not groundless!
It's just that the matter of Hades, since it can be transmitted to the Yang Realm, it means that in a certain unknown era, at a certain unknown node, the Yama King once returned to the Yang Realm, or a certain true one or Dao and master of the Yang Realm came to the abyss, heard or experienced the story of that person himself, and then returned to the Yang Realm and sang the story of the Yama King, all in all, the relationship between the Abyss and the Yang Realm is obviously not as completely isolated as people imagine.
Now that the Dao and Realm can leave the abyss and return to the Yang Realm with the help of the power of space leapfrogging, then on the current continent, although at least before he leaves, there is no existence of the Dao and Realm Great Venerable, but the remaining seven major territories in the Eight Domains are still governed by the Dao and the Great Venerable, with the identity of those people, they have naturally heard of the abyss or the underworld, and they may not have the curiosity to go to the underworld for such a time and look at it!
At least Jiang Ning believed that Mu Tianzun at that time, after trying all methods, when he was still able to break through, he would definitely want to try it from the abyss to see if he could find such a slight opportunity, no matter whether it was a success or failure in the end, he should always come in and take a look.
Moreover, tens of thousands of years ago, when the Sparrow Immortal achieved Dao Peace, on the Yang Realm Continent, Mu Tianzun should still be alive, but Jiang Ning, whether it was from Su Jie, Yu Zun, Su Ming, or Dong Xun, had never heard of the existence of such a person as Mu Tianzun.
Jiang Ning thought about it for a long time, and finally became convinced that the speed of time between the Yang Realm and the Netherworld was indeed different!
The so-called one day in heaven is one year underground, and one day on earth is also one year underground.
Sometimes, Jiang Ning even thinks that this time flow rate is like someone has deliberately set it, for thousands of years, countless people have died, but no matter how many people are alive, it obviously can't be compared with the number of dead people accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, if the time flow rate is really equal, wouldn't the underworld be squeezed?
However, according to Jiang Ning's own personal experience, the density of the life division in the underworld is even far less than the density of the living people in the yang realm, obviously, this is related to the fact that the flow rate of time is not the same.
No matter how many people die, when the time is stretched to a hundredfold, the dead creatures in the underworld can also be digested a considerable part of it within this time. So much so that over the long years, it has been able to maintain a delicate balance with the number of dead.
Of course, no matter what, this is just a conjecture for Jiang Ning, and everything can only be judged after he actually returns to the Yang Realm.
However, if this is really the case, then Jiang Ning feels that it is very normal for Mu Tianzun to appear in the underworld, and no one knows about the abyss and blood moon below him.
Tens of thousands of years have passed in the Yang Realm, and for the underworld, it has been hundreds of millions of years, and in such a long time, even the Dao and the master have changed several times, and it is normal for no one to know Mu Tianzun, and if someone does, then it is really a ghost!
However, what made Jiang Ning even more concerned was that if it was really what he guessed, then after he returned to the Yang Realm, the time of more than thirty years would actually be three hundred and sixty-five times shorter, and if he calculated it, he had actually left the Yang Realm for less than a year, and after he went back, it might not be too late!
Jiang Ning has always been very confident in his judgment, but only on this point, although he thinks that there is no problem with his logic, he is still a little unconfident in his heart!
He was afraid that he had given himself too much hope, and when he went back, he didn't know how to accept it for a while when he saw the scene that was difficult to recover, so during this time, he had been silently telling himself in his heart that he must prepare for the worst, so that he would not feel too difficult to accept after returning to the Yang Realm!
However, no matter what kind of preparations he made, Jiang Ning knew that if he went back and got the news that one of the magpies, the bright girl or the poor girl was no longer there, or those of his brothers and sisters, teachers, and friends died in that catastrophe, he would inevitably feel self-blame!
It's just that no matter how anxious he was in his heart, he didn't say a word about these things to Kapok.
The little bee is the son of Kapok, and he can't stand by and watch the matter of Kapok, so when he jumped down from Luoyan Valley and was forced to come to this abyss, he was really forced and excusable, even if it happened again, Jiang Ning knew that he would make the same choice!
If he said it, it would make Kapok feel guilty and sorry for himself, and this was obviously not what Jiang Ning wanted to see.
However, although his mood was hidden in the depths of his heart, between the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, when he was laughing or cultivating, the trace of haze faintly revealed under his eyes was always lingering, and others could not see it, but after following Jiang Ning for so long, Kapok was still very clear.
She knew that the man in front of her was missing the Yang Realm, and she knew that Jiang Ning was going back no matter what.
In this abyss, this man will always belong to her alone, so no matter what, she doesn't want Jiang Ning to go back, but she knows that Jiang Ning has his own world, and he doesn't really belong to himself alone, so he wants to return to the Yang Realm, which is inevitable no matter what, and now that he is Daohe, no one can stop him from going home.
However, that secret, the secret that Su Jie told her alone that day, the secret that Jiang Ning originally planned to tell him directly after he came from the ** of the Tianhe Trial, has been delayed until now, and Kapok has not been able to find a good opportunity to tell it!
"Old friend, I haven't seen you for millions of years, and now that I come to the door in person, do you still refuse to show up?"
The Shadow Demon stood at the door of the death knell hall, not intending to enter the hall at all, but stood firmly under the death knell, looking up at the pale bone bell, stunned.
No one answered, and in the main hall, it was as if there was really no one, only the wind came into the main hall, and then came out from the other end, as if to tell him: There is no one here, you can go!
However, Shadow Fiend naturally did not go.
Not only did he not leave, but he even seemed to have become a sculpture, standing quietly outside the hall, silently looking at the big bone bell, not knowing what he was thinking?
I don't know how long it took, but the bell above the hall rang melodiously, with a hint of solemnity and coldness, spreading from the top of the shadow demon's head, and heading towards the edge of the Bone Clan's territory.
"I really didn't expect you to be alive!"
Another old voice came faintly from the hall, and at this time, a smile was already hanging on the corner of the shadow demon's mouth.
"You haven't died yet, why can't I still be alive?" Shadow Demon sneered and said, "But thanks to you, I almost died in the Tianhe Trial back then, and one day, this revenge, I will definitely return it to you as it was!"
"Oh, whatever you want," another voice said, "since you know that I'm still alive and didn't come to kill me today, then you must have something tricky for me to deal with." โ
"That's right," the Shadow Demon said straight to the point: "You guessed right, but I don't have anything to ask you for, I just want to join forces with you, although that Terran kid is very uncomfortable for us Demon Clan during this time, but as far as I know, in the Tianhe Trial, the people of your bone clan are also broken in the hands of that kid named Jiang Ning! I'm afraid I'm not the only one who wants him to disappear, right?"
"You want our bone clan to help solve that little guy of the human race, you really have a good plan, the person who killed me, but I want to help you solve the trouble, where is there such a cheap thing in this world?"
"That kid killed two of your subordinates in the Tianhe Trial, and it would have been possible for him to become Dao and Realm's subordinates, and letting him grow up is only bad for us, where is there anything to take advantage of, don't you really want him to die?"
"Of course I want that kid to die," the mysterious voice said, "It would be better if the demon race of the human race could disappear from this world by the way!"
Shadow Fiend smiled and said, "Now that we've reached a consensus, it's better to ......"
The faint voice sounded again, and retorted: "There is no consensus between us, I mean that you from the Demon Clan want to kill people, and my Bone Clan is just watching from the wall, watching a good show, if you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, let me kill that kid for you, I advise you to please go back, right?" I have nothing to say to you Shadow Demon!"
"There will never be a pie in the sky, since you want that kid to die, but you don't want to make a move, how can there be such a beautiful thing in this world?" Shadow Demon said: "How strong are the human race and the demon race now, I don't need to say that you also know, if you are willing to sit still, my shadow demon might as well accompany you guy, anyway, we two old guys, even if they die at that time, they can be regarded as having a backing for each other." โ
The Shadow Demon posed as a scoundrel who was not afraid of boiling water, and sat down at the bottom of the marble staircase, crossed his knees, and whispered to the depths of the hall.
After a long time, the voice sounded again, but this time, it also seemed to reveal some helplessness, and said: "I haven't seen you for millions of years, and you still look like this stinky and shameless, which really makes me a little relieved!"
"Each other," Shadow Demon smirked, "you're no better!"
The voice said, " Don't forget, if it weren't for the gifts you sent, our people wouldn't offend that Jiang Ning for no reason in the Tianhe trial, with the contract between the bone clan and the demon clan, they wouldn't take the initiative to come up to us for trouble, in the final analysis, the death of those descendants of our bone clan is all because of your demon clan, the root of this matter is already in your demon clan, if you want our bone clan to take action, you can come up with enough compensation to buy the lives of my two juniors, I will consider it, if you are not even willing to agree to this request, then my old friend will doubt the sincerity of your shadow demon to come to form an alliance, how much is it๏ผโ
"The sincerity you want, I've been ready for a long time!" said the Shadow Fiend, spreading out his left hand, a translucent gray bead shining in his palm!
