One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 862 Cleansing the Marrow of the Styx
It was a special circular character.

Its range covers the entire cave space.

Apart from the purple light, it only emitted the power of the primordial.

The moment the purple light fully filled the ground, the earth beneath their feet began to slowly crack.

The previously rising heat completely disappeared, replaced by a constant stream of biting cold.

The chilling cold, which even the power of the Primordial Beginning could not withstand, pierced into the bodies of Lin Yi and his group, causing even Lin Yi, a freak with elemental affinity, to shiver.

Looking in the direction from which the cold current was coming, the dark cracks were gradually widening.

"Just how terrifying was that Shakyamuni? How could he have survived in such a harsh environment?"

Zi Yue couldn't help but sigh.

The task was indeed assigned to her, but at this moment, she couldn't help but have second thoughts.

This girl isn't very smart, but she's not stupid either. The environment below the eighteenth level of hell is a place that no living being can live in.

"Um, Mr. Lin Yi, I..."

Lin Yi could sense that Zi Yue, without divine protection, was not qualified to enter this turbulent place at all. With her current strength, if she were to use the Primordial Power to resist, she would die of exhaustion in less than a minute.

This decrease in strength will also increase the burden on Lin Yi.

With a thought, Lin Yi activated the Infinity Sphere, entering a state where his condition could be infinitely restored for a short period of time, and his resistance was infinitely high.

"The task of guarding the cave entrance will still be left to you. I just checked, and the communication crystals are working properly in this space. You can't enter the Nine Nether Turbulent Streams, so leave the rest to us."

Xi Yue really wanted to accompany Lin Yi into that turbulent place, but she knew very well that her entry would only bring trouble to Lin Yi.

Once the array in front of them was fully opened, the turbulent land hidden beneath their feet finally revealed its true form.

The River Styx cleanses the marrow, its chilling winds biting to the bone.

The thick, dark blue river flowed continuously in the darkness.

A chilling wind swept across it.

The incredibly disgusting-looking slime emitted a nauseating odor, causing extreme discomfort.

Even Lin Yi was somewhat disgusted.

"Lin You, don't tell me."

Lin Yi pointed to the foul-smelling River of Marrow Cleansing and asked with a frown.

"Yes, that's right. Shakyamuni must have been imprisoned below. When Shakyamuni learned of the ugly faces of the gods, he was captured by them before he could even use his heaven-piercing chant."

Although Shakyamuni's fighting power was not the strongest, his vitality should not be underestimated.

To prevent him from escaping one day, the gods used the finest Netherworld Blue Stone to forge a steel chain, imprisoning him in the River Styx.

"Ordinary weapons cannot enter the River of Cleansing Marrow. The River of Cleansing Marrow possesses a terrifying corrosive power that cannot be resisted except by divine power. Even law-based artifacts cannot resist its corrosive power. Once we enter the River of Cleansing Marrow, we will most likely be unable to use our skills and can only rely on brute force to rescue it."

No, it isn't?

Is the Marrow Cleansing River really that powerful?!
He only said this much at the last minute; when did Lin You become so cunning?

Given that ordinary weapons cannot be used, are they supposed to break those steel chains with their bare hands?

"I can't use my skills, I can't use my weapons, how am I supposed to break those chains?"

Lin Yi was puzzled.

Lin You simply smiled slightly.

As Lin Yi's summoned creature and his most reliable partner, Lin You will never set a trap for Lin Yi, no matter what.

"Hehe, Lin Yi, don't worry. Now that I've completely unlocked my memories, I'm at the level of a high god. With my divine power and my weapon, I'm fully capable of breaking the iron lock and releasing it. Why don't you wait for me up there?" Lin You's thoughtfulness touched Lin Yi deeply.

Lin You, who had been following behind him and solving his minor troubles for so long, had finally taken the lead this time.

Lin Yi was very pleased with this.

But he didn't intend to let Lin You handle this matter alone.

"When did I, your brother Lin Yi, ever say anything like 'no'? Let's go. I'm worried about you going down alone. You might need my help. Let's finish the mission as soon as possible and leave."

Lin You nodded, took Lin Yi's hand, and the two of them leaped into the River of Cleansing Marrow.

Before falling into the River Styx, Lin Yi and Lin You used their divine power to create a protective force field to prevent their bodies from having direct contact with the River Styx.

The moment Lin Yi entered the river, he sensed the terrifying power of the River of Cleansing Marrow.

Even the most extravagant defensive measures in the Three Realms and Six Paths, the divine power shield, are still no match for the Marrow Cleansing River.

The biting cold, like a maggot clinging to the bone, penetrated the divine power shield and kept burrowing into Lin Yi and his companion's bodies.

To resist the chill, Lin Yi subconsciously increased the output of his divine power, attempting to completely isolate himself from the cold.

Unfortunately, this approach was futile; Lin Yi's current level of divine power was insufficient to accomplish this.

Fortunately, Lin You had recovered all her strength and spared some of it to help protect Lin Yi, which temporarily blocked the bone-chilling cold.

However, the viscous, dirty river was extremely turbid, and even with the help of his Fiery Eyes and All-Seeing Eye, Lin Yi still couldn't see anything while he was in it.

Not to mention cutting the iron chains binding Shakyamuni.

Just when Lin Yi felt helpless, Lin You made his move.

The space of the dead was forcibly torn open by the River Styx during the cleansing of marrow.

The undead creatures, resembling Cerberus, entered the River Styx and began to use their keen sense of smell to locate the Buddha.

Without divine protection, Cerberus's body was dissolving at an extremely rapid pace.

Yet, thanks to their keen sense of smell, they still managed to report Shakyamuni's location to Lin You before his body was completely eroded.

Of course, Lin Yi, as Lin You's master, could also see the images transmitted by Cerberus.

"Let's go, Lin Yi, let's go save him."

Advancing through the River Styx during the Marrow Cleansing is incredibly difficult.

But as the Lord of the Dead, Lin You still used his domineering divine power to break through the chaotic currents of the Nine Netherworlds and pull Lin Yi forward.

The next instant, a gray light flashed beside Lin You, and the Soul Elegy appeared in her hand.

And at the very moment the Elegy of the Soul appeared, the domineering Nine Nether Turbulent Currents seemed to be wary and made way for it.

"Is this... Shakyamuni?"

Lin Yi finally saw a picture.

A man, emaciated with sunken eyes and bound by dark blue iron chains, came into his sight.

After being washed by the River Styx for thousands of years, he was completely naked, and his skin was covered with chunks of flesh that had been corroded into a dark blue color.

It looks disgusting.

If he hadn't been careful and activated the Infinity Sphere's effect early on, Lin Yi probably wouldn't have been able to maintain the shield at this moment.

The rate at which his own divine power was consumed was extremely exaggerated.
