Chapter Forty-Nine: Purgatory
Looking at this place in front of him, Ye Lei's heart was very uncomfortable, and the eerie feeling made his hair stand on end, although he was a killer in his previous life, he was still a little surprised by the current scene, there were human bones everywhere, and it could be said that the entire ground was paved with skeletons.

"Soul Beast, what is this place?"
Ye Lei looked at the Soul Beast at this time, the surrounding environment made him very unnatural, and he even had the idea of wanting to leave here as soon as possible, but Zi Ye seemed extremely excited at this time.
"This is one of the residences of the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Capital, Purgatory Senluo. The Soul Beast looked at Ye Lei's appearance at this time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, this is the place established by the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Capital back then to punish those unruly martial artists." ā
"To punish those unruly martial artists?" Ye Lei's eyes widened at this time, "Soul Beast, what is considered an unruly martial artist?"
"In addition to those who have done things that hurt nature and reason in your impression, there are also some people who are rich and unkind, that is to say, in addition to martial artists here, some ordinary people will also come here to be punished. The Soul Beast said, "But most of them are still martial artists, after all, ordinary people don't have the courage to do this." ā
Walking forward step by step, there were more and more skeletons on both sides, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, Ye Lei couldn't understand why the Heavenly Emperor of Shendu would choose this place as his mansion.
However, this feeling of discomfort only lasted for a short time, Ye Lei gradually adapted to the environment here, and Zi Ye had already walked in front of him at this time.
"Zi Ye, why are you so excited?" Ye Lei looked at Zi Ye and asked, "Could it be that there are any treasures here?"
The dragon clan's sensitivity to treasures is by no means comparable to other demon beasts, seeing Zi Ye so excited, Ye Lei's first thought was this.
"Of course, we are in the midst of a huge magic weapon, and this Purgatory Senluo should be a treasure. Zi Ye asked as he looked at the Soul Leaving Beast at this time.
"You're right, but now is not the time to say that, our destination has arrived. ā
At this time, the soul beast took Ye Lei to a stone door, and the stone door was written with three majestic words, Ghost Gate.
"Ghost Gate Pass?" Ye Lei looked at the Soul Leaving Beast, but he didn't take that step for a long time, "Soul Leaving Beast, what is this Ghost Gate Pass, could it be said that the Divine Capital Heavenly Emperor wants to kill me?"
"Don't worry, you are the one chosen by the master, and you will naturally have to go through some tests given to you by the master. The Soul Beast said, "Since the master set up this treasure, there are a total of three thousand five hundred and eighty people like you who have come here, and all of them have taken this step before the ghost gate. ā
"However, I wonder if anyone will come out alive. Ye Lei looked at the Soul Beast and said very rigorously, "I'm afraid there is no one." ā
"Haha, you're right, but even if you know this, it's too late!"
At this time, with a wave of the soul beast's big hand, he directly pushed Ye Lei and Ziye into the ghost gate, and then saw that the stone gate was quickly closed, and Ye Lei and Ziye were locked inside.
"Zi Ye, what should we do now?" Ye Lei looked at Zi Ye at this time, and said a little helplessly, "I knew that I wouldn't have come with this guy." ā
"Even if we don't want to come along, I'm afraid there's no chance of survival. Purple Night said, "That soul beast can easily kill the two of us, and if we don't come along, it will probably be that guy's dinner." ā
"Forget it, since they're all here, let's take one step at a time. Ye Lei didn't think about anything more, no matter how much he regretted it now, he had fallen into this situation, so it was better to find a way to leave.
After entering the Ghost Gate, Ye Lei felt that this place was even more gloomy than the outside, and in this level, there was a small river that meandered, but the water of this river was all blood.
The aura of blood filled the entire air, and Ye Lei, who had lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife in his previous life, was also a little uncomfortable, in this place, there was nothing at all except this river of blood.
"It seems that the key to passing the test should be in this river. Ye Lei looked at the river in front of him at this time, as if there were some creatures in it.
When I got closer, I saw that there were indeed things swimming in the river, but all of these swimming things were white bony fish, without a piece of meat, and even the eyes were hollow bony fish.
"There is no life left, and we can still swim in this river, and since there is only this river of blood left here, let's go along this river. ā
At this time, Ye Lei and Zi Ye could only walk slowly along the river, and they didn't know how far, but they didn't see the end, Ye Lei smiled helplessly, and could only continue walking.
After drifting along the Huangquan River for so long, Ye Lei didn't care about this distance, and walked slowly like this, the blood river became wider and wider, and there were more and more bone fish in the river.
"Ye Lei, something is very wrong here. Zi Ye looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Do you feel that your strength is slowly draining away, and there is no replenishment!"
Hearing Zi Ye say this, Ye Lei also discovered this matter, no matter how he used his innate strength, there was no way to replenish it by absorbing the Yuan Force between heaven and earth.
"This place is greasy!" Ye Lei looked at the surrounding scene at this time, but when he looked back, Ye Lei's eyes widened.
"Ghost Gate! We've been walking for so long, can we say that we've been in the same place all along?" Ye Lei looked at the stone door in front of him in disbelief, and the three words "Ghost Gate" were particularly conspicuous.
"No, we are indeed moving forward, and the width of the river of blood proves that we are not standing still. Zi Ye looked at the stone door behind him, and was also surprised, "As for this stone door, it appeared behind us without us noticing, and this door is the real problem." ā
"Looks like they've found something. At this time, in a cave mansion, the soul beast looked at a crystal ball in front of him, and said with satisfaction, "It depends on whether these two guys can discover the mystery left by the master, but after so many years, I really want to go out and have a look." ā
The soul beast has lived in the treasure of the Shendu Heavenly Emperor since he was a child, and the Shendu Heavenly Emperor seems to have made arrangements, so what the soul beast has eaten since he was a child is the spiritual grass and spiritual fruit left by the Shendu Heavenly Emperor, as for eating people, it is also a matter after the soul beast achieves the innate golden pill.
And Ye Lei and Zi Ye didn't care about the stone door behind them, and continued to walk down the blood river, the blood river was getting wider and wider, and Ye Lei's innate strength was almost exhausted.
"Damn, how long is it going to be!" Ye Lei looked at the river of blood beside him, the river had reached his feet, and his feet were already red with blood.
"Have you noticed that this blood river seems to have slowly widened after absorbing your innate strength. Zi Ye looked at Ye Lei at this time, not only Ye Lei's innate strength, but also his own Long Yuan also had a lot of consumption.
"So what, if you want to suck it, you can suck it!" Ye Lei's eyes widened at this time, "I don't believe that after sucking me dry, the Divine Capital Heavenly Emperor will get any benefits." ā
Gritting his teeth, Ye Lei continued to walk forward, at this time, Ye Lei's innate strength had been exhausted, and now all he consumed was his physical strength.
Seeing Ye Lei's perseverance, Zi Ye didn't say anything, gritted his teeth and walked forward with Ye Lei, he knew that the young man in front of him was no longer his contractual partner.
"Zi Ye, why are you so bothered?" Ye Lei looked at Zi Ye beside him, his lips had become very pale at this time, and his whole face was no longer bloodless.
"Stinky boy, do you think I'm willing, if you die, I won't be able to live!" When Zi Ye finished saying this, he smiled at Ye Lei.
In this way, one person and one dragon gritted their teeth and walked forward, no matter how they advanced, the stone gate of this ghost gate was always behind him, and he never left.
"It seems that there is really no end in sight. Ye Lei's face turned pale at this time, and he looked at Zi Ye and said, "Zi Ye, if you can get out, just eat me, you know?"
"Stinky boy, don't pretend to be a good person here, your meat stinks, so Lao Tzu won't eat it!" Zi Ye didn't expect that Ye Lei would say such a thing, "Boy, do you want to do Tai Chi again!"
Ye Lei thought at this time that he had become attached to Zi Ye, and it was precisely because of this set of Tai Chi that Ye Wuxian had taught him in his previous life, and it was also this set of boxing techniques that firmly tied himself and Zi Ye together.
Not only that, Ye Lei thought of the piece of jade he was carrying, in the past, as long as he encountered any big trouble here, this piece of jade would help him, but now there is no movement.
"Is it really the limit?" Ye Lei stood up at this time, "Okay, let's do Tai Chi again!"
The one move and one style of Taijiquan, although it did not use the innate strength, was still so powerful in Ye Lei's hands, and it was impossible to see that Ye Lei was about to run out of oil at this time.
"I'm sorry, Master, but now I can only use this last resort. Ye Lei barely mobilized the only remaining innate strength in his body at this time, and at this time, he wanted to use his last strength to reverse Xuan Gong.
"Ye Lei, if Xuan Gong reverses, you will go crazy!" Zi Ye looked at Ye Lei at this time, but he couldn't stop Ye Lei anymore, the meridians were retrograde, and Xuan Gong had already begun to reverse.
The black demonic qi was wrapped around Ye Lei's side at this time, and it kept surging towards Ye Lei's dantian, Ye Lei still had a trace of clarity at this time, and he found that a large amount of innate strength appeared in his Yin Yang Golden Pill.
"What did this kid do!" The Soul Beast was surprised to find that the water in the Blood River had begun to surge, and the demonic energy on Ye Lei's body made him feel a little palpitating.
"I haven't lost my mind!" Zi Ye clearly found that this time Ye Lei's eyes were clear, that is to say, Ye Lei had not lost his mind, and he was still the original Ye Lei.
And at this time, the piece of jade on Ye Lei's chest also emitted a dazzling light, and the demonic energy on Ye Lei's body once again flowed towards this piece of jade, and soon disappeared.
"This piece of jade is really unusual. Ye Lei felt that his body was full of strength, but when he saw the Yin Yang Golden Pill, Ye Lei found that the Yin and Yang Golden Pill represented the Yin side and surpassed the Yang side in terms of area.
"It seems that Xuangong can't be easily reversed. Ye Lei looked at the piece of jade on his chest at this time, "What the hell is this, all the demonic energy just now was absorbed by this piece of jade, Master, what exactly did you leave me!"
Now that he had the strength, Ye Lei once again walked towards the end of the Blood River, and Ye Lei found that this time, the speed at which the Blood River widened was actually much faster.
And Ye Lei was also surprised to find that in his dantian, the Yin Yang Jin Dan actually began to slowly restore its balance, and soon returned to the original Yin and Yang balance, and the size of the Innate Jin Dan seemed to have become a lot bigger.
"It turns out that this is the case, this "Silent Xuangong" seems to have anticipated this situation, that is, unless it is an absolute imbalance of yin and yang, when practicing this exercise, it will automatically recover, and yin and yang will be transformed. Ye Lei said with satisfaction.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't you be able to reverse the Xuan Gong casually?" Zi Ye looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Isn't your innate strength endless?"
"That's not the case, this Xuan Gong can't be easily reversed, the so-called reversal Xuan Gong is just activating the innate Gang energy that I have accumulated in the dantian, if I reverse it again now, I may not die. ā
Ye Lei and Zi Ye communicated while walking forward, and finally, Ye Lei walked to the end of this blood river, but when he saw the scene in front of him, the whole person was stunned.
"Sea of Blood, I didn't expect that such a thing really exists!"
Looking at the endless sea of blood in front of him, Ye Lei's heart turned up a monstrous wave, and the smell of blood reached his nose, and Ye Lei even felt like he wanted to vomit.
"Help me!" At this time, a voice reached Ye Lei's ears, and looking at the source of the sound, a skeleton crawled out of the sea of blood, and the eyes of this skeleton actually flashed with a faint light.
"Are you calling me?" At this time, Ye Lei looked at the skeleton in front of him, without too many emotional fluctuations, "Who are you, and why are you imprisoned here?"
Ye Lei retained the caution of being a killer in his previous life at this time, looked at the skeleton in front of him and asked.
"Good boy, you can still be so cautious in this situation!" At this time, the Soul Leaving Beast couldn't help but shout hello for Ye Lei, but he didn't know how hard it would take for Ye Lei to train to this extent.
"I was originally a guard beside the Emperor of the Divine Capital, but because I offended someone who should not be offended, I was sent to this place by the Emperor of the Divine Capital, Shaoxia, save me!"
"Yes, save us!" At this time, many skeletons crawled out of the sea of blood, and like the original skeleton, these people also hoped that Ye Lei could save them.
"Okay, what can I do to save you?" Ye Lei said as he looked at the skeletons.
"That's right, the Divine Capital Heavenly Emperor set a seal for us at the beginning, and this seal is in the tower not far away!"
"Tower?" Ye Lei looked at the direction he pointed in confusion, he hadn't found any towers here before, but these people said that they were sealed in the tower.
However, as these people said, there was indeed a tower not far away, and both Ye Lei and Ziye clearly remembered that before they came here, there was nothing there at all.
Immediately after, Ye Lei looked behind him again. The Ghost Gate Pass had already disappeared at this time, and he was on the edge of the sea of blood at this time.
"Zi Ye, what's going on?" Ye Lei looked at Zi Ye at this time and said, "When did these things appear?"
"I don't know, but for now, let's go inside the tower. Ziye didn't have much clue about what was happening in front of her, so she could only stubbornly move forward.
The tower that these skeletons refer to was not far from Ye Lei and Zi Ye, Ye Lei walked towards this tower, and at this time, Ye Lei found that his body was starting to get hot.
"What's going on?" At this time, Ye Lei found that the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Bead actually flashed with yellow light at this time, and every time Ye Lei took a step closer to this tower, this light would be dazzling.
"Looks like we have to go and take a look!" Ye Lei put away the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Bead and walked towards the tower, and those skeletons also followed Ye Lei all the way.
However, when Ye Lei arrived at the bottom of the tower, these skeletons no longer took a step forward, Ye Lei looked at these skeletons, and the glimmer of light in the eyes of these skeletons began to flicker, as if they could be extinguished at any time.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Ye Lei.
"Shaoxia, I'm afraid we can't move forward, if we take one more step, the Emperor of Heaven will kill us!" At this time, a skeleton looked at Ye Lei and said.
Ye Lei hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Bead in his hand, Ye Lei still strengthened his confidence and walked up to the tower.
"This tower is so eerie. ā
Ye Lei felt the breath coming from this tower, there was no color in the whole tower except blood red, and this red light shone on Ye Lei's face, which looked very weird.
"Who are you, why did you climb this tower!" At this time, a voice sounded in Ye Lei's ears, "Do you want to intercede for those people too?"
"The younger Ye Lei didn't come to intercede for those people. Ye Lei said, "To be imprisoned in purgatory by the Emperor of Heaven must be a person who has committed a great sin, so why should I save them! ā
At this time, Ye Lei took out the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Bead, and at this time, the light on the Five Elements Mixed Yuan Bead was even more dazzling.
