Chapter 1799: Chapter 1635: Astonishment
Four Star Domain Level Experts... over a dozen Star System Level Warriors, were swallowed alive by the giant serpent in just an instant. Seeing this scene, Yin Shang and Jiang Rushi both turned pale, and the rest backed away at top speed.
"Lord Yin Shang, th-this is a World Level Netherworld Beast?" Jiang Rushi’s pretty face went white. Yin Shang’s mouth twitched violently. Even though he had brought thousands, tens of thousands of subordinates, in front of a World Level Beast, they simply had no power to resist at all. "How, how can there be a World Level Netherworld Beast here? Even if a Venerable came in person, I’m afraid there’d be nothing he could do.
"
Lin Mo, who also saw this scene, felt his heart tremble as well. If not for the strange Netherworld Power that had just now emanated from the Black Snake Totem on his back, he probably wouldn’t have survived either; that purple ribbon of light would have swept him straight into the Big Snake’s mouth. The towering Purple Snake seemed to have just undergone an Awakening. A pair of vertical purple pupils glanced in Lin Mo’s direction, its gaze icy cold yet carrying a faint flavor of fear. Yes, that was a fearful gaze—Lin Mo sensed it. The other party seemed very
afraid of him.
Or more precisely, it was afraid of the Black Snake Totem on his own body.
The Purple Snake’s body was covered in a layer of glossy purple scales, each scale shimmering with a faint violet halo. On its huge triangular head were two bulging lumps of flesh, already showing signs of evolving toward a flood dragon.
"Human, this is not a place you should come. Get out." The Purple Snake twisted its head, its two icy vertical purple pupils staring at Yin Shang and the others, emitting a strange voice.
Once a Beast reached this level, it had already birthed its own spiritual wisdom. After tens of thousands of years of Cultivation, its intelligence was little different from that of humans.
"He—he is my enemy. I want to take him away..." Yin Shang looked unwillingly at Lin Mo, who was floating above the Purple Lake. To just give up like this, he truly was not reconciled.
"Scram." The Purple Snake let out an angry roar. Its mouth Zhang Kai wide, and a Purple Light Column suddenly blasted out. Wherever it passed, Star Domain Level, Star System Level experts all turned into nothingness. Seeing this, Yin Shang immediately summoned a smooth mirror in front of his chest to block, the mirror surface emitting
a hazy silver radiance.
But the instant the Purple Light Column slammed over, that hazy silver glow collapsed in a flash, and cracks instantly spread across the silver mirror. With a sharp crack, it shattered, turning into countless silver Light Points.
Yin Shang’s body shot backward like a cannonball, slamming into the stone wall, a mouthful of fresh blood spraying from his lips.
That silver mirror was a Star Domain Level Defense Magic Treasure, extremely precious, yet under the Purple Light Column’s Attack it was utterly worthless. Yin Shang even felt heartache.
"Go, hurry up and go." Yin Shang’s face was ashen as he shouted.
Jiang Rushi flashed forward, helped Yin Shang up, and directly darted into the black passage behind them. The rest also swarmed into the black passage behind like a flock of locusts fleeing in panic.
Lin Mo, hovering in midair, did his best to rouse the Black Snake Totem on his back into Awakening, using the Netherworld Power released by the Black Snake Totem to wrap around his entire body.
The giant snake before his eyes was a genuine World Level Beast. It could probably kill him easily with just a casual breath.
After Yin Shang and the others fled, the Purple Snake turned its head, its two icy vertical purple pupils staring at Lin Mo, and then actually dove straight into the Purple Lake below, disappearing from sight.
"Hoo!"
Lin Mo exhaled a long breath.
"This time I completely relied on the Black Snake Totem, otherwise this giant snake would never have let me go, right?" Lin Mo was secretly shocked. He had already heard about this Black Snake from that Big Shot whose body height was several million kilometers. It was a type of super Netherworld Beast that existed in the Netherworld Era, an extremely rare existence even in that era, and should have been captured from the Netherworld Era by Emperor Shang when he reversed time and space. That
Purple Snake should be in fear of this Black Snake Totem.
In fact, everything that happened had taken only a few dozen seconds, yet to Lin Mo it felt longer than an entire century.
"Yin Shang?" Lin Mo clenched his fists, staring at the enormous black passage ahead.
Right now he definitely couldn’t leave through the black passage. Yin Shang and the others would certainly still be waiting outside Hive Star for him to come out.
Lin Mo shifted his gaze to the palace floating above the Purple Lake, fine light flickering in his black pupils. Since he had come this far, there was absolutely no reason to give up, and moreover, he had no other choice right now.
"I’ll give it a try. As for Yin Shang, I’ll settle this debt with you sooner or later." Lin Mo tightened his fists, his gaze radiating a tenacious light, then shot toward that palace.
With Netherworld Power wrapping his entire body, the Netherworld Energy permeating the air above the Purple Lake naturally couldn’t seep into him.
Lin Mo slowly flew to the palace entrance and stopped. Lifting his head, a massive Stone Gate appeared before his eyes. The giant gate was a thousand zhang tall and several hundred zhang wide, forged from some special black ore, giving off a sense of heavy solidity. Carved upon it were some strange and bizarre patterns. Looking closely
, those patterns turned out to be one lifelike, terrifyingly ferocious Beast after another.
Each Beast was carved so vividly it was as though it had come alive, radiating a suppression that made one’s heart palpitate.
"Just the Beast Map carved on the Stone Gate alone can emit such a powerful suppression. I wonder what kind of Big Shot once resided in here." Lin Mo marveled.
In addition, the Stone Gate was shrouded in a thin purple Light Curtain, which should be part of the protective Array.
If he tried to blast it open directly, there was definitely no hope, and he might even suffer an energy backlash.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo took out the Ancient Key he had obtained from the secret chamber’s high platform. The Key was shining with brilliant purple light, its fluctuations growing stronger and stronger.
"This Key should be the crucial item to open the Stone Gate."
Lin Mo pressed the Key directly against the thin purple Light Curtain on the Stone Gate. In an instant, the purple Light Curtain began to tremble, ripples spreading out one after another, and then the purple Light Curtain covering the surface and the Ancient Key both vanished without a trace.
It worked?
Lin Mo took a deep breath, then placed both palms on the Stone Gate. The touch was ice-cold as True Yuan surged into his arms.
Rumble!
The two massive Stone Gates slowly opened to both sides, revealing a thin crack. As the crack widened, a grand palace appeared in his vision—a very, very large palace.
Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
Rumble!
The two gigantic Stone Gates behind him began to close automatically, sealing shut completely. Lin Mo glanced back once, then turned his gaze to the interior of the entire palace, and his pupils suddenly contracted. This palace contained more than a dozen lifelike statues. These statues were even more realistic than the carvings on the giant gate, and the suppression they emitted
was even more intense.
Most importantly, in front of two of the stone statues stood two old men—one with long silver hair, the other with ink-black long hair—both wearing coarse cloth robes. There was no fluctuation of energy aura on them at all; they looked just like ordinary old men.
But could anyone who appeared here possibly be ordinary? "There are other people in this palace?" Lin Mo was astonished.
