Chapter 182: Hell (4)
Bai Nian couldn't remember how many times he had broken through the illusion, from darkness to the sea of blood, the mountain of corpses, the sea of fire, the oil pot, the mountain of knives, and the ice field...... It was like torture in the eighteen hells.
But these are only pains, and what is even more terrifying is the power that acts on the soul in the dark. Confusion, anger, sadness, ecstasy, despair, fear...... All of this was different in each layer of illusion, and it almost made Bai Nian fall into madness, but this madness may also be a kind of spiritual influence given to him by the way of hell.
Time is meaningless here, and even a moment of passing makes Bai Nian feel as if thousands of years have passed, but the next moment feels like a blank moment.
In the end, Bai Nian opened his eyes again, and the scene around him returned to the original darkness.
This darkness was like substance, condensed into a liquid that tightly wrapped Bai Nian.
"What is that?" Bai Nian suddenly saw a red light in the darkness, he rubbed his eyes carefully, and his blurred vision gradually became clear.
That red light is a red lotus!
The lotus blooms seven pieces, bright red as blood, and the slightly swaying posture is like a delicate and graceful girl in the flower season, which makes people involuntarily want to look away. But if you look at it for too long, you will deeply feel the charm and evil of this red lotus, and your whole mind will be occupied by this blooming red flower.
"Companion Spirit!" Of course Bai Nian knew about this red lotus, it was his companion spirit!
The associated red lotus that was stripped by Bai Yin in the White Emperor City did not expect to bloom at this time.
In the next moment, Bai Nian found that he had come to the side of this red lotus, and he reached out and gently stroked this red lotus. This flower was alive, and with his intuition, Bai Nian felt that it was greeting him at this time!
Bai Nian raised his head, his sharp eyes swept around, and then said coldly: "It turns out ...... This is in the sea of my soul!"
As soon as the words came out, it was as if some kind of shackle had been interrupted, and Bai Nian's thoughts had finally completely regained their clarity, and the power in the dark had been captured by him.
There are ten thousand laws in the world, and if you want to use the power of these laws, you can only enter the Tao and comprehend them. And Bai Nian's illusion just now was a test given to him by the Dao of Hell, and through this test, Bai Nian's soul was also branded with the Nine Shadows Mark.
From then on, Bai Nian could naturally let his soul attack be accompanied by the law of going to hell, just as Princess Baihua was able to summon the Nine Shadows Path.
Bai Nian came to the top of the Soul Sea, only to find that his Soul Sea had nearly doubled in size compared to before, and the center of the Soul Sea was the red lotus, and the Black Dragon Soul was actually curled up in a corner of the Soul Sea at this time.
In the past, the Black Dragon Soul was the master of this soul sea, but after the accompanying red lotus recovered, it couldn't snatch the main master at all. Don't look at it as a soul that is more than a million years old, but when it comes to controlling the Bai Nian Soul Sea, the accompanying red lotus is stronger.
"In the future, there will be no priority here, both of you will stay here for a long time......" Bai Nian placed the associated red lotus and the black dragon soul, and he didn't know if the companion red lotus could understand his words.
However, after all, they all have to rely on Bai Nian's soul sea to survive, Bai Nian is the real master, and his words, whether it is the accompanying red lotus or the black dragon soul, have to obey.
Then, Bai Nian opened his eyes, this time opening his eyes that had truly returned to the flesh.
But...... He found himself in a pool of bubbling black liquid.
No, it's a pot!
The pot contained black liquor from an unknown thing, extremely viscous, and bubbling......
Why does this bubble look so much like a boiling water bubble?
Only then did Bai Nian feel that his whole body was hot, and he was thrown into a pot for people to cook!
"Witch!" Bai Nian roared angrily.
Needless to say, all this must be the witch's masterpiece!
Bai Nian struck the lid of this pot with a fist, and there was a loud bang, but the lid didn't shake at all.
"Don't make a big noise! You kid just stay inside! This water of the River Styx, boiled with ghost flames, is one of the few things that can increase the strength of the flesh, and I have found these things for you, but you must stick to it. The witch's muttering voice came from outside the cauldron, "Really, this soul refining oil cauldron, this seat has been looking for a long time......"
So, after staying in this pot for a full day, Bai Nian was released.
Compared to the trials given by the way of hell, the witch's oil pot boiling body is insignificant, but it is also extremely painful. That black liquid was undoubtedly the stagnant water of the River Styx, but when it was boiled with ghost flames, it was terrifying.
Ghost flame can only be found in hell, this kind of flame is extremely weird, there are two states in total, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. When it's hot, it's extremely hot, but when it's cold, it absorbs all the heat around it.
Therefore, Bai Nian really enjoyed it in this two heavens of ice and fire......
"How's it going? It's worth it?" the witch narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Bai Nian, giving people a fox-like cunning.
"If I could, I wouldn't come......" Although Bai Nian was used to pain in that illusion, when he recalls that feeling after relaxing now, he can't help but feel chills in every pore of his body.
The feeling of being immersed in the reality and the truth and the false, I don't know life and death, I don't know the joys and sorrows, I don't know the time and space...... Bai Nian never wanted to re-experience that feeling.
"Hmph, you want to become stronger without suffering a little?" the witch said angrily, and then, a finger tapped on Bai Nian's forehead.
"You!" Bai Nian immediately covered the place where he was beaten, and he clearly felt a small bag slowly protruding in his hand.
The speed at which the witch raised her hand and flicked her fingers was obviously not fast, but Bai Nian couldn't dodge it, which couldn't help but make him angry.
But to be honest, this trip to hell, in fact, Bai Nian does not regret it, it is a great opportunity for him.
The companion spirit has been completely revived, and it has also obtained the Nine Shadows Mark, which can use part of the laws of hell, and finally the physical body has also been strengthened to a certain extent. Now he is confident that even if he is on the Holy Rank One Spirit Stage, he will be killed by Zhao Nei, and he may not be defeated against the Heavenly Son again!
"Where is this?" Bai Nian glanced around.
Ahead was the terrifying Heaven and Earth Mill, countless corpses falling out of the void and then crushed into pieces. Behind him, there are hundreds of blood-stained copper coffins suspended in the air by iron locks.
Here, there is a dead silence, the four fields are depressed, and the air is full of strange atmosphere, Rao is Bai Nian can't help but feel a little scared after experiencing a lot in the test of the way of hell.
"I don't know...... witch whispered, "Originally, there was a path to the present world from the end of the ninth layer, but now it seems that it ......"
The road to death was originally ahead, but ahead was the heaven and earth millstone that was enough to kill the emperor's figure!
Bai Nian also thought that the path to death that the witch said might be in the grinding plate of heaven and earth, but now they obviously couldn't go any further.
"Or ...... Let's go back to the first layer and return from the Nine Shades Path, right?" Bai Nian said.
However, the witch shook her head, "The Nine Shadows Road can only enter and not exit, have you forgotten the non-retreating order there?"
The Nine Secluded Paths, where there are rules of a higher dimension to restrict, can't go back, can't look back!
"That'...... Isn't the lower reaches of the Nine Shadows River going to flow into the Forbidden Spirit Dead Sea of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, let's go along the Nine Shadows River!" However, after Bai Nian said this, he felt a little unrealistic.
From the memories of the Heavenly Walker Sect sage, he knew that there was a river flowing out of the void in the extreme south of the Forbidden Spirit Sea, and that river was the Nine Nether Styx. However, I don't know how far I have to go from hell to the Nine Styx, and by the time I get out, I'm afraid it's already time to go. Besides, if you go out from there, it will be the Heavenly Spirit, not the Nanhua Immortal Kingdom!
"The Nine Styx is a stagnant water, it will never flow, only the bronze coffin of the afterlife can flow downstream. The witch gave another reason for her denial.
"Bronze coffin in the afterlife?" Bai Nian asked puzzled.
"The bronze coffin of the afterlife itself is the embodiment of a law, the Nine Styx is the road, and the bronze coffin of the afterlife is the vehicle, which sends the soul into the present world in a way that transcends fate. The witch raised her voice and said, "The Forbidden Spirit Bronze Coffin in the Forbidden Spirit Sea of the Heavenly Spirit Continent is the Bronze Coffin of the Afterlife, and so are the blood coffins behind us. ”
Bai Nian looked at the hundreds of blood coffins behind him, and those blood coffins, each of which seemed to be buried with a peerless figure, giving people a great sense of coercion.
"Then let's grab one?" Bai Nian asked softly.
The witch gave him a roll of her eyes angrily, "What should these blood coffins be placed here to suppress...... Moreover, even if there is a bronze coffin in the afterlife, we may have to drift in the Nine Styx for countless years. ”
Only the witch knows that all the bronze coffins in the afterlife are buried with an existence that is at least an emperor, but it is something as terrifying as being suppressed by hell, which must not be moved!
"Then what are we going to do?" Bai Nian said with some frustration.
The road ahead and behind are all sealed, and now trapped in this empty and eerie hell is really a bit desperate. Moreover, Bai Nian couldn't help but be a little worried about the battlefield on the side of the Nanhua Immortal Kingdom.
Lin Yu...... I'm afraid it has been completely turned into powder, and the inheritance of the Hundred Demon Emperor has been snatched away by that demon woman.
Lin Yu was originally just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but he volunteered to reincarnate his sister for the demon crossing, and his affection and nature made Bai Nian see the shadow of himself in the past.
Thinking of this, Bai Nian felt a wave of sadness in his heart, he was also Lin Yu's brother-in-law, but in the end, he couldn't do anything at all!
Also, Lin Qingyue and Lu Zhanxian are still in the Nanhua Immortal Kingdom, if the woman of the demon clan gets the inheritance, will they help the Tianxing Sect to deal with them?
Bai Nian was full of sorrow, but now he himself was trapped in hell and was at a loss, how to save others?
He ...... Here it is!" said the witch suddenly, in a very solemn tone.
"He, who?," Bai Nian wondered.
At this moment, Bai Nian suddenly found that there was a person standing beside him!
Bai Nian's scalp couldn't help but tingle, when did this person come to his side? Why didn't he find out all this time! If this person wanted to kill him, then wouldn't he even know how he died!
"Killing Sword Master, long time no see. The man's voice was very magnetic, and it sounded very infectious, and people unconsciously felt a sense of awe and conviction.
Bai Nian raised his head to see the man clearly, but found that he couldn't see clearly at all, and the man's face seemed to be erased again after being imprinted in his mind.
"Yes! The last time we saw each other was 10,000 years ago. However, for you Gatekeepers of Hell, 10,000 years is just a blink of an eye, right?" said the witch lightly.
Bai Nian had already hid behind the witch, and when he heard the witch's words, a huge wave set off in his heart.
The Gatekeepers of Hell?
10,000 years is just a blink of an eye?
And the witch clearly recognized the man.
