I've never seen so many stars.

Almost everywhere in the sky was filled with stars, and only the gaps were filled with darkness.

The stars were colorful in color, but for some reason, they felt a little unreal to me, and the light scattered from them was very soft and unreal.

In front of me was the endless sea, and behind me, a very traditional freshwater lake.

The lake is not large, so you can see it at a glance.

At the very end of the lake, at the top of the mountain, stands a place that resembles a palace.

At least to me, it looks like a palace.

Since the place is far away from me, I can only see a general outline, and the architectural style is not like the ancient Chinese style, but has a foreign castle style.

It's just that the structure of the whole palace is a little distorted, and the top and bottom are not vertical, as if the middle is bent a little, causing the whole to tilt to one side.

On the surface of the palace, there are many plants that resemble creepers, but judging by the distance and proportion, those plants are definitely not creepers, but some enlarged version of the thorn bushes........

They seemed to have lost their moisture, and they were all yellow, and they were wrapped around the palace, surrounded by an indescribable dead air.

When I saw that palace, I instantly reacted to one thing, this place could not be .......

In a panic, I looked up and looked up in a hurry.

Above my head, a black star was hanging high in the sky, and the white soft light on the edge made the black star look even more "bright".

Lafutesa ...... City of Blackstar........

I only have those two words in my head.

If I'm not mistaken, everything I see now is illusory, not real......

Of course, it could exist, but I was hallucinating.

If this is really the land of abundance, then it is far enough from the earth that you can get here in the blink of an eye? Are you kidding?

What's more, this is also a bit wrong, if this is really the country of abundance where the Black Robe King is located, then it should be located underground, not on the surface.

The surface should be the realm of Si Ming Xingjun, and it is not the turn of the black-robed king........ No! According to He Xigong's statement, this situation should be possible.

Gods don't necessarily exist, but old creatures do.

At this moment, waves of more than a dozen stories high suddenly rolled up above the sea.

Even though they weren't coming at me, they were slapping at another shore, but the devastating momentum and the roar of an ancient beast still scared me to move.

But what scares me the most is the tower that slowly emerges from the bottom of the sea.

The tower is the same color as the palace, black as the main tone, and it seems to be made of stone bricks, and the outline of the countless rectangular stone bricks can be seen.

The spire rose out at a rapid speed, and after a while, the body of the tower, which was hidden by the sea, was gradually revealed.

I don't know exactly how tall the tower is, but it's just how high it has been exposed...... At least two or three hundred meters!!

And this tower is not vertical, it is slightly tilted, and the kind of weird magnitude that makes people feel that this tower is a little distorted, and there is an indescribable disgust.

The old man once said that the power of nature is above all else.

If he brings it up to me again in the future, I may have to add it later.

One level higher than nature are the creatures of the past.

It doesn't take much thought to guess that this tower must be related to the creatures of the past, and maybe it is still where the black-robed king lives.

Only such lofty creatures are qualified to inhabit such a place.

Maybe it's my delusion.

As I watched the tower, I suddenly felt that someone was watching me.

The abrupt feeling was very strong, as if it was coming from the direction of the top of the tower, and the gaze that was almost substantial made me more and more sure....... Someone's watching me!

As I slowly shifted my gaze to the point of discomfort at the spire, I noticed that my right arm suddenly swelled, and the swelling continued to spread, from my right arm to my shoulder.......

My instinct told me that I shouldn't look up, that inexplicable place at the top of the tower, and if I looked any further, I should move my gaze where I shouldn't, and I would die an ugly death.

But a force that was invisible to the naked eye silently held my chin and slowly lifted it up.

Spire....... In the window closest to the spire...... There stood a shadow in a black robe...... Maybe it's black instead of wearing a black robe........

With a bang, the bent fingers on my right hand exploded abruptly.

It was as if there was a bomb hidden in it and suddenly detonated itself, and even the bones were blown to pieces, and a lot of rotten flesh fell into the sea, and quickly sank.

The putrid blood that flowed from the wound gathered on the ground like a living snake, slowly wriggling into the lake behind me.......

The pain was second to me, and I couldn't ignore the unspeakable fear.

For the first time, I realized that fear could be so real, and that this fear that was more real than reality was far greater than despair.

Before I knew it, the wounds that had burst out quickly began to fester, and in a matter of seconds, the symptoms of the ulceration extended to my elbow.

The bones were rotten, too.

The festering bones were so broken that they could not bear the weight of flesh and blood, and they broke in two without accident, and the part below the elbow fell to the ground.

I don't know if the figure standing in the tower is the legendary Black-robed King, but I'm sure it's one of the creatures of the old days, and one of the monsters I've ever seen...... What scares me the most.......

Just looking at me...... It was just eye contact....... My physical body somehow fell into a state of collapse.......

It is worth mentioning that this kind of collapse is still a collapse that the flesh Gu cannot repair, and even the collapse of the Gu Qi is dissipated.

The difference in class between living things is indeed insurmountable.

No matter how advanced his cultivation is, and how many strange and wonderful techniques he knows, even if he has an alien number like the Flesh Gu to protect the flesh body, it is impossible for him to be an enemy of the creatures of the past and be an enemy of them...... The odds are zero!!

With a thudding thump, the festering sensation had spread to my chest, and the strength of the whole person disappeared in an instant, and my body fell forward uncontrollably, slamming heavily on the ground.

I can't tell whether it's a hallucination or a reality, and the feeling of facing death is something I will never forget in my life.

It's true.

When faced with death, I had no fear, no despair, only relief.

That indescribable ease is enough for me to face the impending death with an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Everything in my life was left behind, the old man, Chen Qiuyan, all the people I knew, as if they had cut off relations with me, and I didn't feel the slightest reluctance when I met death.

Die.

When I die, everything will return to its original state, and I won't have to go through this torture anymore.

At that moment, a voice suddenly appeared in my head.

The voice was neither male nor female, neither old nor young, without the slightest characteristic, but it sounded so real.

"The black star fell into the sand, the disaster is coming, and the sea of stars will die with it, and the only eternal existence is ........"

"Lord of Calamity."

When the man said this, I only felt that my chest began to burn, as if I had been burned by a soldering iron, and it hurt fiercely.

With great difficulty, I turned my head sideways and looked at my chest, only to see patterns that seemed to be formed by flames, appearing on my chest without warning.

If I'm not mistaken.

This pattern is the pattern engraved on the front of the copper pendant worn by Chen Qiuyan.

At this time, the pain intensified, and the fire light mixed with those patterns began to spread to my limbs.

As my consciousness blurred from the pain, a familiar voice rang in my ears.

"Shi'an!! You're waking up!! We've got to run!! ”
