Chapter 394: The Source of the Underworld
A distant mountain stood, with runes surging on its surface. Getting closer, Ye Ping'an realized that this was an ancient beast that was far larger than the others.
The two-way guide device swims in a circle quickly, and the light above it becomes stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, Ye Ping'an felt a tremor in his ears, and found that the giant beasts around him were all stretching their necks and screaming.
A dark fog rose all around, and everything in front of me became hazy.
There was a black light cluster swimming by Ye Ping'an's side like a stream of fish.
Ye Ping'an's eyes were full of ghost fire, and he stretched out the colorful aura around him and grabbed the source of the underworld closest to him. The moment he touched the source of the underworld, the seven-colored aura around him suddenly shrankβ
The pitch-black fog seemed to be accumulating the apertures, and disembodied runes flickered.
"Crackle!"
The two-way conduction device emits a strong light, making the surrounding aperture look like a small sun.
The black fog closed in one fell swoop, and the land was dark again.
At the same time, less than five meters beyond the edge of the Ancient Underworld, a small multicolored dot continued to grow in size, becoming a circle of light, and in an instant, the light faded, revealing the skeletons and blocks inside.
The [two-way conduction device] is now completely lost, like a flame that has lost fuel, and it has come to a halt.
Ye Ping'an reached out and grabbed the [two-way conduction device] that was about to fall, while looking at the black light cluster he was holding on his right hand. In the light cluster that can be grasped with one hand, there are runes flickering.
On the boat of the River Styx, three figures stand. They are Ye Ping'an, Quan, and Quan's doppelganger.
"It's a terrible breath. This is the source of the underworld? Quan looked at the light ball in Ye Ping'an's hand and whispered.
Ye Ping'an's eyes flashed with ghostly fire: "With it, you can become one and use it as your new source." Don't rely on the River Styx anymore. β
Pale bone fingers streaked through the air, Ye Ping'an clicked to confirm the option to use, the light in his hand swelled as if he had rushed out of gas, and the runes in it swam rapidly, so fast that he couldn't see the original font clearly.
The surrounding waters of the River Styx suddenly rolled as if they were boiling, and the ferrymen and the dead unconsciously looked at this side.
When the volume of the source of the underworld increased to the point where one person could stretch out his hand just enough to embrace, Izumi and the doppelganger reached out at the same time, interlocking their fingers, and then reached into the source of the underworld together.
The ball of light moved closer to Izumi and the clone, engulfing them. Waiting for the light to dissipate, only a young man with black runes flowing half of his body remained.
"Success?"
Just when Ye Ping'an's heart was overjoyed, Quan suddenly showed a painful look, and a black shadow separated from half of his body covered by black runes, as if it had directly broken through his body.
"Ahhhh There were two voices overlapping each other, one muddy and weird, and the other clear and ethereal, one from the spring and the other from the black shadow covered in flowing runes.
Ye Ping'an stretched out his hand, but retracted it again, his eyes flashed, and he didn't understand what was happening.
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow flowing with runes completely rushed out of Izumi's body and jumped into the River Styx with a "plop".
"Izumi, are you alright?" Ye Ping'an asked.
But Izumi answered with silence in his eyes without a hint of light.
Ye Ping'an's eyes flashed with ghostly fire, and he called up the attribute panel of the spring, and found that the name and status of the spring had changed.
"Izumi [Styx Ferryman] [Infully Awakened (Lost Soul)] ......"
Izumi raised his right hand, then quickly lowered it, moving like a puppet.
"What's going on? Shouldn't ...... I've already brought the source of the underworld...... Is it because of that thing? β
The light on Quan's body flickered, and he was recalled by Ye Ping'an.
At this moment, a pitch-black portal opened on the surface of the river, and out came a woman with a snake mask and a snake spear, who was none other than Kurosawa.
"Looks like that thing has gone down there, and I'm still a step too late. I can't imagine that a dust-like existence like you has really obtained the source of the underworld, and sure enough, the evolutionary is an existence that can transcend the rules......"
Ye Ping'an's eyes flashed with ghostly fire, and he asked in a cold voice: "Kurosawa, why is this happening!" β
"Hehe, are you talking about the poor ferryman? I can't tell you, and I can't tell you Leopard. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. If you want to know why, go back to where you got the source of the underworld. If you're lucky, you might be able to find out. Kurosawa twisted his waist as if talking about a trivial matter.
Ye Ping'an's eyes were cold, and he watched Kurosawa walk into the portal and disappear.
Approaching the edge of the Eastern Forbidden Land, the [Two-way Conduction Device] became active again, changed its form again, and gave birth to a pair of colorful energy wings, opening the aperture to escort Ye Ping'an slowly forward.
After walking for a long time, a taller Desolate Ancient Immortal Beast appeared around, and the strange black mist enveloped a large amount of Underworld Source and reappeared, squeezing the seven-colored circle of light.
The aperture flowed, turning into transparent black in the blink of an eye, and thus blending into the black mist, like a pretender, deceiving the rejection of the black mist.
The alien invasion was lifted, and the black mist flowing with runes dissipated. Soon, Ye Ping'an followed the [two-way conduction device] to the front of an inscription, which was full of runes, flickering and disappearing. Behind the inscription is a staircase that leads to the ground. A black mist flowing with runes was gushing out of this mouth like a spring.
Ye Ping'an followed the [Two-way Conduction Device] down the stairs and found that there was a ruin below, and the walls were full of immovable runes. These runes seemed to be scattered throughout every corner of the ruins, and some had been activated, emitting light, forming a circle, from which a black mist of runes had emerged.
Less than a dozen meters directly opposite Ye Ping'an, there was a yellow-haired young man in modern clothes sitting cross-legged, he was trapped in a huge black ice cube, and at his feet, there was an alloy cube exactly like the [two-way conduction device]. The black ice cubes and the youth's body were surging with runes.
At this point, the [Two-way Conduction Device] suddenly projected a colorful ray of light, penetrating the black ice cube and injecting it into the alloy cube at the feet of the yellow-haired young man.
The alloy cube spread out quickly and glowed blue as if withered grass and trees had been nourished by nectar. Under the surging light, the blonde young man suddenly opened his blue eyes.
"Who are you? How long has it been? Why is the device we gave to Quaker in your hands? β
The black ice cubes around the blond youth's body quickly atomized, and it didn't take long for him to regain his movements.
"Otherworldly Explorer, Izawa......"
