Chapter 8: The Law of Fate I
At the other end of the space door is a large hall that is so magnificent that it is breathtaking. What appeared in front of Luo Ling's eyes was directly the interior of the main hall.
In a hideous stone-carved arch with horns and dragon heads, there is a space door with a clear blue light, and behind the stone-carved arch is an upward staircase passage, five meters wide and three meters high, like the exit of some theaters. After passing through two platforms and nearly 100 stone steps, a smooth stone wall completely sealed the passage.
The interior of the main hall is more than 30 meters high, and every five meters from the wall, there is a protruding, horizontal 1.5-meter-high stone bar, like a dividing line between floors, dividing the wall into five levels.
The main hall is entirely made of blue-black rocks. The ground is paved with stone slabs two meters square, and the walls are made of ashlar stones two meters wide and one meter thick, and the huge octagonal stone pillars require about four people to hug each other.
The giant pillars are the support of the entire hall, whether in the hall or on the side of the wall, you can see their figures, some of them are completely exposed, and some of them are half submerged in the wall.
The giant pillars extend to the dome, and they are stretched out in all directions like trumpet flowers, forming one after another vaults, continuous arches, and cross arches...... This model resembles the top structure of many cathedrals.
Under the eight-prism pillar, there is a strip of stone platform that extends symmetrically outward and the pool of the same symmetry, there are different demon statues on the stone platform, and the stone pillar has the pendant of the head of the evil dragon, the dragon's mouth is wide open, the lava keeps pouring, flowing into the pool, sparks splash, but the lava in the pool is not always full.
In the center of the hall where the space door is right, the inner side of the four giant pillars is the point, there is a huge square abyss pit, the inner four walls of the abyss pit are also divided into layers with horizontal strip stones, layer by layer, there are shallow holes with concaves, just like the Buddha shrine cave of Mogao Grottoes, but there is no statue in the shallow hole here, only the burning, raging flames.
In the depths of the pit is boiling lava, a stone pillar thicker than an octagonal prism rises straight up from the red magma, above the ground, layer by layer, and finally, forms a three-meter-high octagonal stone platform, on which is a majestic sculpture of the demon king Sbiyunas, the devil's wings are open, holding a giant scythe, raised above his head, the other arm is pointing straight ahead, and the facial expression is a loud roar! It was as if he was directing thousands of troops to charge......
The last thing that is lacking in the main hall is the carved statues, all the floors, all the walls, there are stone murals. Including the giant pillars, the horizontal stone bars, the countless square bars supporting the stone bars and close to the walls, there are complex patterns and various monster reliefs. The various demon statues here are like the sculptures of saints in the temple on the surface, standing majestically, solemnly and hideously, full of action and lifelike.
People with a little artistic discernment can see that this is enough to be called a temple of art, and the carvings are the same as the overall style of the building, rough and dignified!
"Demon Hall? Demon Memorial? Demon Sanctuary? "A series of questions pop up in people's minds, and that's the overall impression here.
The heavy and tall stone pillars, with the hoops of animal heads, and torches like demonic arms in the rings, burned on the clawed palms that were held up, and they together with the dragon head fountain and all other things related to magma formed the lighting equipment of the main hall. The smoke of sulfur diffused in the main hall, making it like a fog, adding to the strange atmosphere.
When Luo Ling came in, Xuanyuan Lei and they were admiring everything here. Seeing Luo Ling coming in, Xuanyuan Lei said, "Mr. Luo, what do you think of here?" ”
"This place is obviously not the same as the entrance to the Atlas that I know!" Luo Ling replied honestly.
"Oh? Mr. Luo has also been to the other world? "Actually, Xuanyuan Leiluo deliberately asked this question, a master of Luo Ling's level, it is strange that he has not entered a certain space door to take a few looks. After all, human curiosity is very strong, especially those who think they have some ability, and they do have some ability.
"Been there once!" Luo Ling said: "At the other end of the red space door are platforms floating in the endless void like inverted mountain peaks. There was an altar and a pavilion on the top, and the door to the space I entered came out of the altar. There are also spatial doors in the temple pavilion, and I think those are probably the real entrances to the demon world. The floating platform is nothing more than a tool for bridging different worlds, and it feels like a demonic swarm of starships. ”
"Mr. Luo's insights are really eye-opening, but what about here? What is Mr. Luo's opinion? Xuanyuan asked again.
Shaking his head, "The passage to the outside of the main hall has been blocked, and I think this place is closed. Moreover, is the architecture of the real demon world so gorgeous? It feels more like a temple built by some cult that worships darkness. Combined with the diary, it may have been built by the demon slave on the basis of the technical ability that he had received some rewards from the demon. ”
"Mr. Luo is really amazing, he actually relied on his guess to coincide with the results we deduced."
"Really? Do you have any experts in this area? ”
Xuanyuan Lei smiled, did not answer, but changed the topic and said: "This place seems to be bigger than imagined, how about we scatter and search, anyway, if you are defeated, you can run, I expect that the things here will not be able to get out of this space, otherwise, I will go out early in the morning." ”
Luo Ling knew that after talking for a long time, this was what Xuanyuan Leiluo wanted to say the most. "Alright! The concentration of magic energy here is not as strong as outside, but there is still no communication, and we will have to meet here again in the end. ”
"Hmmm! Then good luck to us! We walked to the left, and there seemed to be a lot of forks in the road. Xuanyuan Lei pointed to the left side of the misty smoke, where it was faintly discerning, and there were many so-called forks in the road, which was pure nonsense.
"Good! Then I'll go to the right. See you in fifteen minutes! Luo Ling didn't reveal it, and he seemed to be very talkative.
Xuanyuan Leiluo nodded, and the five people of the Holy Seal all headed to the left, it seems that the so-called scattered search is just a dispersion with Luo Ling.
"It seems that the Knights of the Holy Seal also have some clues or information that they don't know." Luo Ling pondered secretly. But it's not strange to think about it, for an outsider like him, all matters are explained to him, that's called strange!
"Why don't I have any secrets?" Luo Ling smiled.
In fact, as soon as Luo Ling entered here, he had already determined that the special key that 'those people' gave him was used here. Moreover, there is a decisive battle waiting for him here, and it is a battle that cannot be escaped.
Luo Ling deeply knows that the most indispensable thing for a person like him is 'courage'. Once he loses this quality, his abilities will probably stagnate forever. Sail against the current, retreat or retreat, and at that point, the enemies who can really threaten his life will get closer and closer to him until they meet and put an end to him. This was his fate, something that had been predestined from the moment he was demonized.
Luo Ling walked very lightly, like a cat, and took off his equipment as he walked. For him, this outfit is largely a disguise, a disguise in order to allow him to better integrate into ordinary people. Luo Ling didn't want people to remember it all the time, he was a mutant who was not afraid of demonic radiation at all. 'It's easier to get close to certain creatures if you look like they're the same kind as them. This is the experience that Luo Ling has summed up over the years.
Taking off his armor and continuing to take off his combat uniform, Luo Ling was certainly not playing a strip show, he was just making it easier for himself to get into the state.
"Wow!" With Luo Ling's soft snort, the eye-like light on his forehead began to shine, it was not the eyes, but the pineal gland in the brain that was working, this organ that had not been identified in modern times, did have a very mysterious effect.
As the light on his forehead became brighter and brighter, a faint black light on the surface of Luo Ling's body began to swirl like the wind, and his body surface quickly keratinized and paralyzed......
In less than 5 seconds, the change ended, and Luo Ling officially entered his combat state.
If Xing Juan was there at this time, she would be surprised to find that Luo Ling's current appearance was so similar to what she saw in the Phantom Plane. Of course, it's just similar, the current Luo Ling, forehead, shoulder socket, chest and abdomen, both sides of the hips, forearms, and calves, does not have magic crystals as bright as gems, smooth as mirrors, and translucent as crystals, but only silver, astringent armor like frosted heart goggles. And the magic patterns on his body are not as dazzling and magnificent as those in the Phantom Plane, and now, they can only be said to be some beautiful curves that have begun to take shape. What's more, the current Luo Ling is far from the momentum and power of the demon god who defies heaven and earth.
Rumble! A flaming golden flame enveloped Luo Ling entirely, covering his figure, leaving only a pair of purple eyes, radiating a cold light like ice chips.
Blaze, this is the cheapest kind of magic release, almost all purgatory creatures can make themselves burn with raging flames, which is enough to deter and has actual combat effect. However, Luo Ling's current kind of magic power is not a simple release of magic power, but a kind of possession magic array perfunctory from the prison seal, referred to as the magic ring or aura.
Flame aura, this is the only aura that Luo Ling currently has that can be used for a long time. Although he obtained the complete Fifth Prison Pentagram Prison Seal not long ago, allowing Luo Ling to step on the poisonous thorn aura, the consumption of mana in that form is much higher than now, if it is beyond his means, then the use value of the aura will be greatly reduced, and even affect the mobilization and use of magic power in important battles, which is certainly not what Luo Ling wants.
This demonic hall was a little bigger than Luo Ling had imagined, and the place he was going to was in the deepest part of the hall.
The hall consists of a wide corridor of the same height as the main hall, one hall after another, and a domed gallery dedicated to large statues. It's like a palace built for the Titans, not only grandiose, but also magnificent, so grand that people feel incomparably small, so grand that people feel aesthetically fatigued.
The road that Luo Ling wants to take is by no means peaceful. All kinds of monsters, in groups of three or five, roaming in their own territory, there are no low-level monsters such as zombies and crab demons, all of them are above the tremor demons and spirit demons. However, no monster dares to make a move on Luo Ling, when he sees Luo Ling, those who are not good at it will choose to escape, and those who have good brains or enough perception will express their obedience in their own way, this is the reaction of the lower demons to the higher demons, just like the soldiers of the army see the higher rank of the commander, even if they are not the same belonging, they must stand up and salute, not to mention, the demons are the race that pays the most attention to strength, and the high demons also mean that they have the power of life and death that is enough to make the lower demons fear.
Luo Ling had no interest in paying attention to these guys, since he had completed a prison seal and completely recovered his combat strength on the night he joined Han Xiaolu and them, ordinary demons could no longer pose any threat to him. If you want to kill, you can do it at any time, and now you have something to do, so there's no need to waste energy and time on them.
When the road was always finished, when he passed through four halls in a row and didn't see a monster, Luo Ling knew that he had entered the opponent's territory.
