Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger

Chapter 157 Inside the Tower
This is a cursed area.

I don’t know if the corpses of many purgatory monsters have been buried here. The strong resentment and murderous aura are combined in the void, but it does not form a cloud of evil spirit like the ruins of the ancient gods in the Xueluo world.

Rumble!
The billowing smoke and dust rose up to a height of tens of thousands of feet, and the endless smoke and dust never dispersed, rolling in the direction of Luo Shen.

In the billowing dust and smoke, Luo Shen saw ferocious faces looming in the smoke. They were purgatory monsters led by other demons. They were even larger than the cosmic monsters under Luo Shen's command. Much more.

Compared to the top ten monarchs of the Valley of Fire, they are almost the same.

Obviously, the strength of these purgatory monsters has reached at least the domain lord level.

Boo!
Waves of sharp screams came from the sky, loud and shrill, and the sounds penetrated the clouds like sharp arrows. They were purgatory monsters that were good at flying. In addition, there were also huge fire dragons flying in the clouds. Flying in and out, even the thunder and lightning in the sky cannot leave traces on them.

As the number of purgatory monsters around him increased, the bad feeling in his heart deepened.

"No, I have to escape!"

Such thoughts flashed through Luo Shen's mind, and his eyes were fixed on the black pyramid-like building suspended in mid-air. There were a large number of powerful demons guarding it, and it was impossible for Luo Shen to escape from this area.

The only way is to try to find a way out of that type of pyramid building.

"Flapping!"

Just as Luo Shen was thinking this, suddenly the purple-black demon's entire body rose into the air, and his eyes glanced at Luo Shen, showing a look of sympathy or other meanings, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared. In place.

Luo Shen was stunned.

Just...just leave them here?
Before Luo Shen could react, he heard a series of sharp whistling sounds coming from the pyramid-like building above his head. In the blink of an eye, several huge flagpoles fell from the sky.

boom! !

Eight black flags were suddenly planted on the ground. Each flag was embroidered with different embroideries. Two of them turned out to be the skeleton sword that Luo Shen had obtained before and the devil's wings on the purple and black demon. Moreover, there were embroidery on each flag pole. It is engraved with unique and complicated secret patterns.

"This is.?"

Luo Shen had some vague guesses in his mind.

But it didn't leave him much time to think. On the flagpoles that were staggered and inserted diagonally on the ground, bloody flames were moving up and down. Where they intersected with the ground, the eight flagpoles were all painted red. With this, With eight flagpoles as the center, ripples spread out in all directions.

boom!boom!boom!
Soon, the area centered on these eight flagpoles became blurry in an instant, and ripples spread out like huge space ripples, forming a barrier similar to a space blockade.

"There's really no way to escape now."

Based on Luo Shen's understanding of the original laws of space, he could naturally tell at a glance that this area had been sealed off.

His eyes wandered around.

Sure enough, the eight huge demons pulling the chain had disappeared without a trace, and all the demons responsible for guarding the surroundings had also disappeared. Only the number of shadow sickle demons was still increasing.

"Roar!!"

A purgatory monster obviously also noticed the difference.

Although their intelligence is slightly inferior to those of the same level of powerhouses, they are still powerhouses above the cosmic level. Their brains are obviously running faster, so they can naturally realize that something is not good.

Unfortunately, I didn't react until this time, and it was already too late.

One of the shadow sickle demons suddenly opened its compound eyes, ripples appeared in the void, and its body began to gradually solidify.

"laugh!"

Almost as soon as it solidified, the entire body disappeared in place, and the still somewhat inexplicable cosmic-level purgatory demon was separated from its body and head before it could even react.

The universe-level purgatory monsters are not like the domain lord-level purgatory monsters. Their heads are still their fatal flaw.

and this.

It seemed like a cue to turn on some kind of killing signal.

A shadow-scythe demon opened its pupils, and the light of killing flashed in their pupils. One by one, their bodies solidified, and they began to kill the densely packed, unknown number of purgatory demons below.

These shadow sickle demons are not invincible.

Luo Shen even saw a realm lord-level infernal monster going berserk. With lightning speed, when the shadow sickle demon lost its balance due to hunting a realm lord-level monster, he took action boldly.

Almost instantly, the shadow sickle demon was torn into pieces.

At the same time, a large number of shadow sickle demons and purgatory monsters died together, and their corpses dyed the entire earth red.

Even when Luo Shen fished in troubled waters, he killed a shadow sickle demon and two eyeless cosmic-level purgatory monsters. However, in a large-scale battle, the role of an individual is too small!

He was unable to kill all the Shadow Scythe demons with his own strength, let alone the larger number of Infernal Monsters.

Therefore, his only thought was to save his life!

The killing had just begun. There were too many demons and purgatory monsters around him. He did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and rush towards the black pyramid-like building, so he simply deviated from the main area where the fighting was the craziest. With a sound, he drilled into the ground beneath his feet.

All the way down, breaking through layers of thick soil.

Until there was a 'dong' sound, it hit the barrier-sealed area composed of the eight flagpoles.

"She's really cute!"

Luo Shen cursed lowly, thinking that there would be no barrier blocking the place below. He might be able to fish in troubled waters and sneak through the underground to avoid these killing targets. However, he never expected that the front, rear, left, right, and underground were all blocked.

I guess the same is true for the sky.

"It seems like these damn demons want to use us as sacrifices."

Sacrifice is a special ritual in the Purgatory Abyss. Although the specific function of sacrifice is not stated in the information, Luo Shen has some understanding of it.

Rumble!
I saw bursts of roaring sounds coming from the sky, the surrounding clouds burst open, and the black pyramid-like building began to transmit billowing red and black mist from the chains connected in eight directions.

It's like the thick fog that accompanied the appearance of the bad guys in those cartoons I watched when I was a kid.

Just when Luo Shen was wondering what had changed.

There was a loud noise, and several thick chains suddenly shot out from the black pyramid-like tower. The other end of the chain was connected to a huge fusiform iron awl, and the iron awl passed through it. Wherever it was, whether it was the Shadow Scythe demon or those purgatory monsters, they were all turned into pieces!
boom! !

The huge black chains intertwined with each other and shot down from the sky. The iron cones sank straight into the ground of the space and penetrated deep into the earth. There were violent roars and a heavy wail from the entire space.It’s not over yet!
Under the black pyramid-like building, a huge cavity suddenly appeared, and bursts of rumbling sounds were heard.

In the horrified eyes of Luo Shen and all the purgatory monsters.

Huge creatures covered with thick scales, resembling mammoths, rushed out of the black hole. There were dozens of sharp and long white horns on the tops of the monsters' heads. Each one was tall enough to Thousands of meters high, even the largest infernal beast in this space cannot give in.

Boom! !

I saw those huge, terrifying monsters covered in scales, waving their forelimbs in the void, suddenly exerting force, falling from the sky, and with extremely terrifying impact, they instantly swept across a large area of ​​infernal monsters.

Even the Shadow Scythe Demons who failed to dodge in time were within their attack range.

Every single one of the purgatory monsters, every single shadow sickle demon, no life can withstand any frontal impact. Either it will be pierced by the horns on their heads, or it will be trampled into flesh by the huge thick hooves falling from the sky.

Most importantly, they work together.

The monsters stood together, their front horns touching the ground, plowing forward with all their strength. No life could stop them, and they were instantly flattened.

The black pyramid-like building also moved again.

On the original chains that were stuck straight into the ground, paths of hell fire emerged, accompanied by waves of strange power surging in the space, and then bursts of black mist dispersed. As the amount of black mist increased, Gradually they connected together to form a sea of ​​clouds. The surrounding purgatory monsters and the terrifying figures wearing scales were all buried in the black mist.

All invisible!

Luo Shen was shocked and subconsciously released the force to check the situation.

But I saw weird black secret lines pouring out from the black mist everywhere in the space. Those weird black secret lines kept disappearing into the black mist, disappearing and appearing, faintly forming a whole.

The terrifying beasts covered in scales and armor before were still the same.

Huge furrows tens of meters wide traverse the entire space. Under those furrows, what you can see is a large number of scarlet blood and snow-white bones of the infernal beasts, flowing like small rivers and gradually seeping into the ground.

Converging towards the iron cone at the end of the chain underground!

After thinking about it, Luo Shen quickly flew towards the nearest set of chains. He wanted to see what secrets those chains contained.

at the same time.

On the surface of the land above, under the cover of the black mist, things that were not mist-like appeared suddenly. They said it was mist, but it had a form. It was said that it was life, but it didn't look like life.

These black substances, as if alive, climbed up the chain and went straight to the black pyramid-like building.

However, these black substances seem to be highly corrosive.

All the parts of the chain that had been climbed were corroded into pitch black, as if they were rendered black. The blackness was so deep that it made people shudder.

The black pyramid-like building seemed to be aware of this, and the endless secret patterns that instantly enveloped its tower seemed to turn into a rolling red river, flowing down from the top along the chains!

As soon as the black substance encountered the endless secret pattern, it was like ice and snow meeting sunlight, and the ice melted instantly.

However, they had no intention of stopping and continued to flow downward, until they reached the iron cones connected to the ends of the chains, and were eventually imprinted on the iron cones.

Coincidentally, as soon as Luo Shen followed these chains and came to the location of the iron cone, he encountered this change.

Those fiery red secret patterns seemed to be conscious. When they passed through Luo Shen's body, they seemed to pass through the air, penetrating through without any obstruction. Only when they encountered the iron cone, they were transformed into real objects.

Of course, these secret patterns passing through the body are not without any effect on Luo Shen.

Because Luo Shen could clearly feel that when these fiery red secret patterns passed through his body, his understanding of the origin of fire law in his mind instantly soared a lot.

It was like a sudden enlightenment.

It turns out that Luo Shen has already reached the level of recognition of the original law of fire, but now, he is only one step away from completely understanding and perfecting it.

As long as he takes this step firmly, he can become a great immortal!

If the soaring understanding of the law of fire is an unexpected surprise, then the gestation time of the avatar of the Lord of the Abyss that is being bred in the original world has been greatly shortened, almost shortened by half. This is absolutely great news!
I don't know if there is some kind of connection between the two.

When Luo Shen sensed that the birth rate of the Lord of the Abyss conceived in the original world in his body was reduced by half, the black pyramid-like building suspended in the void suddenly shook violently, and the entire space shook violently, making a roaring sound. .

The countless chains connected to the space all shook violently, making loud clanging sounds!

At the same time, thick black lightning struck down from the sky above the trembling black pyramid, struck it directly, and then passed along the chains on the pyramid-like building.

Luo Shen's perception is still very sharp.

It immediately turned into a stream of light and burst out of the ground, avoiding the terrifying black lightning.

Rumble!
The terrifying thunder and lightning was directed into the ground, turned into powerful energy, and hit the barrier that blocked the space. In an instant, a harsh sound of shattering glass was heard, and it was shattered!

The barrier that originally blocked the space was broken!

Luo Shen thought about leaving, but when he raised his head, he saw a huge demonic figure frowning around him. He instantly changed his attention and turned to look at the chain that was shrinking into the air, and A pointed cone with fiery red secret patterns flashing at the end.

"We can't leave directly!"

Luo Shen immediately made a judgment: "With so many demons around, it is impossible to leave. Even if I use my inner eye, I can only deal with one of them. It is not certain whether it will be effective or not."

"Some of the secret patterns on the black pyramid building can halve the gestation time of the Lord of the Abyss' clone. There must be even greater secrets hidden inside!"

"Follow the cone!"

Luo Shen made up his mind.

Regardless of whether the black pyramid-like building can help him leave, as long as the secrets hidden in it can help the Lord of the Abyss clone to be conceived as soon as possible, his crisis can also be resolved!
"Whoosh!"

Checking the time, Luo Shen suddenly grabbed one of the chains. Under the contraction of the black pyramid, he sat on the chain with the wind and suddenly penetrated into the black pyramid.

"not good!"

"That damn human!"

A group of demons watching around noticed this and became anxious, one by one, they were about to take action.

But the purple-black demon flapped its wings and instantly turned into a stream of light, directly blocking the demons in front of them, preventing them from taking another step forward!
"Have you thought about it? Ask me first if I agree!"
