From the end of the world

Chapter 356 VS Fate Turbidity 6
There are some places on Earth that can get almost endless heat, such as volcanoes distributed all over the world. But for my current goal, the power of volcanoes to release heat is still not enough, I must find a place where I can get heat more efficiently, that is underground.

Yes, underground...

Mingzhuo had misunderstood one thing. In the universe, it was not only stars that could release endless heat. The Earth could do the same. Tens of kilometers underground, after passing through the crust, was the mantle layer filled with terrifying lava, which had been scorching hot for billions of years since the birth of the Earth.

With advanced technology and theories, human civilization has gained countless insights into the starry sky, but knows very little about the earth beneath its feet. The mantle, an important structure of the earth, is a field that only exists in theory and indirect detection, and has never been directly observed. The deepest drilling well designed and created by humans to explore the underground is only more than 12,000 meters, while the average thickness of the continental crust is 33 kilometers. This level of excavation can be said to be still in a very preliminary stage for penetrating the earth's crust.

In just one second, I pushed the life turbidity underground to a depth of more than 34 kilometers, breaking through the boundary between the crust and the mantle, which seems to be called the "Moho interface". Although the rock layer density increases the deeper I go, it still cannot buffer my diving momentum.

During this process, I killed Life Turbid several more times. Since I was already familiar with this set of moves, it became difficult for him to even fight back. I also gained experience in killing. As long as I didn't tear his body and soul into pieces, he would directly use the ready-made corpse to revive on the spot, which made it easier for me to push him into the mantle layer.

At this moment, we are surrounded by a sea of ​​extremely high-density lava. Although lava is a fluid, the density of the material here is higher than that of rock. In addition to the extremely high pressure, the temperature is over a thousand degrees. No protective measures that humans can create with technology can guarantee the survival of individuals in such a high-pressure and high-temperature environment.

It is said that the mantle occupies two-thirds of the mass of the earth, which means that two-thirds of the earth is this ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure magma. Here, I can easily meet my thermal energy needs. Although Mingzhu said that if I want to kill him to death, I need to sacrifice the whole world, but that only refers to the surface world, the area where humans live, compared with the earth's mantle layer, it is not worth mentioning.

After Ming Zhuo found out that he was brought here, his demeanor suddenly became distorted. For the first time, he showed an expression of losing control and even cursed: "Where the hell did you bring me to!?"

"The mantle," I said. "You must know it, so let me explain it to you. The mantle is..."

"I know what a mantle is!"

He roared as if he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to fight back, but I killed him again with the help of Xuanming Fire. At the same time, I absorbed the heat from the mantle and regained all my strength.

It can be seen that he seems to hate the mantle very much, but it doesn't seem to hinder his survival, and his power doesn't seem to be affected. Could it be that this place has other special meanings, such as being terrible on the mystical level?

I am not without associations. In the Buddhist worldview, there are eight hells, which are sometimes simply and crudely equated with the eight hot hells. The deepest hell among them is the famous "Avici Hell".

"Avici" is the transliteration of Sanskrit, which means "uninterrupted". "Avici Hell" is "uninterrupted Hell". In the Buddhist worldview, this hell is located very deep underground. Its vastness is beyond human imagination, and the interior is filled with terrifying raging fire and lava.

The sentient beings who fall into the Avici Hell will never have any hope of liberation. They will be boiled and churned there, their flesh, bones, and blood merging into the lava. The pain and despair will continue endlessly without a break, hence the name "Avici".

If there really is hell in this world, perhaps it is where we are now. Thinking of this, I don't know why this place feels eerie despite being scorching hot.

In the gap between death and resurrection, I don’t know if it was because of the desperate strength to survive that Mingzhu suddenly roared and briefly broke free from my control. At the same time, it broke away from the mantle layer in an instant and moved to the crust layer more than ten kilometers away.

"Want to run?"

He wanted to escape from my palm at this level, and he simply ignored my declaration that I would burn him to death. With just one flame transmission, I came to him again and killed him again with the fire of proclamation, and by the way, I spread the flame to use the earth's crust as fuel to obtain heat.

I wanted to drag Mingzhu back into the mantle again. Perhaps because he found that I was really practicing my declaration step by step with actions, and found that I really couldn't escape, Mingzhu seemed to become extremely anxious and impatient.

"You are pestering me here... Aren't you afraid of changes in the outside world? Don't you care about the end of the world?" he shouted.

"The end of the world?"

Hearing this key word, I involuntarily slowed down my pace. Mingzhuo burst out at high speed again and fled above the surface. I caught up with him again and killed him again and again.

"Within ten years, the end of the world will come. Don't tell me you don't know this prophecy!" Ming Zhuo said between life and death. "Although many people in Luoshan just regard it as a rumor that is not credible, you should know that it is not a lie, right?"

"Why do you say that?" I asked without comment.

Mingzhu seemed to see an opportunity to shake me, and said quickly: "Isn't this natural? Anyone who is impermanent can sense that there are subtle discords in their own laws of heaven and earth compared to before. Chaos is gradually brewing in this world. Although I don't know how the time figure of 'within ten years' was derived, if this continues, the order of the world will undoubtedly collapse..."

I didn't feel that there was anything inharmonious about my own Fatianxiangdi, but I could probably guess the reason. It was probably because I had only been a Great Impermanence for a short time. Other Great Impermanence could rely on their experience to judge whether there were any abnormal changes in their Fatianxiangdi, but my Fatianxiangdi was affected by the disharmony from the beginning, so I couldn't compare it to find any problems. I thought that the reason why he judged that I knew Luo Shan's doomsday prophecy was not a false rumor was because he had invaded Ma Zao's dream and saw the scene of the doomsday era there. But now looking at his attitude, he didn't seem to realize that Ma Zao's dream showed the doomsday era.

So why was he so shocked at that time? Sure enough, in his opinion, Ma Zao's dream was not the end of the world, but the afterlife? Or is the end of the world the afterlife?
"The end of the world will come within ten years, and I have a maximum lifespan of ten years. If you waste all your time trying to kill me until I die of old age, you will definitely miss a lot of more important things. Are you sure you want to do this?" Ming Zhuo said, "Don't you want to investigate the cause of the end of the world? Don't you want to prevent the end of the world, or find a way to survive it?"

I said without hesitation: "No."

"What!?" he shouted in disbelief.

I was originally hesitating whether I should stop the end of the world, but now that I have the title of defeating the turbidity of fate, I don't need to worry so much.

In the ten years before the doomsday, there might be many important events that are precursors to the end of the world. It would be a pity to miss them. But how could such events that are hard to describe be as good as defeating the Great Impermanence-level enemy that is so close at hand?

"Now I only have you as my enemy. Apart from killing you, I don't want to think about anything else. Don't say so many unromantic words, just think of a way to escape from me." I said, "You are the Great Impermanence, a god on earth who can make the impossible possible. To be honest, I don't think I can suppress you steadily for ten years with such a monotonous approach.

"The reason why I can suppress you again and again is not because of overwhelming force, but because of tricks. Since it is a trick, there must be flaws. Only overwhelming force can make it flawless.

"You can definitely think of more strategies to escape, or even kill me. This is also a challenge, an adventure. It's either you or I, the outcome is not really determined. So this is not the end, it's just the beginning. Don't you agree, Mingzhuo?

"Alright... I've already encouraged you to this extent. If you keep showing this disappointing expression, don't blame me for really killing you."

Ming Zhuo could no longer endure it and yelled, "You've been killing me! Over and over again!"

And in his furious voice, I could hear the slight tremor that he couldn't hide.

He was afraid.

He is afraid of me.

This may not be a good sign. He was afraid of me, which made me excited and alert. When people are afraid, they will burst out with more powerful strength. People who are chased by wild beasts will run faster than ordinary sprinters.

In this situation, his fear and concentration can basically be regarded as synonyms, and what I will face next may be the fate of extraordinary performance.

Just what I wanted.

Before he could continue to curse, I used the Xuanming Fire to kill him again and blocked his next words.

However, I still feel a little regretful.

I actually hope to defeat Fate Turbidity with my own strength, but now I have to rely on the Fire of Proclamation. Of course, I am not so hypocritical as to give up just because my means of victory were unfair, and the outcome of this battle involves not only me, but also Ma Zao. When faced with a truly difficult and desperate situation, I will use all the means I can think of. This is my consistent attitude.

I will not stubbornly pursue a "perfect victory", which is something only strong people with a calm mind are qualified to pursue. Because what I really want is to take risks that make me uneasy, so I will also accept an imperfect victory.

Even if you accept it, regret will definitely still exist.

Just as I was about to drag the life turbidity from the surface into the mantle again, a magical fluctuation of the Great Impermanence level suddenly erupted from dozens of kilometers away.

I looked over there reflexively, and saw a thick white beam of light shooting towards me.

Mingzhu had just been resurrected, and before he had time to react, the light cannon suddenly attacked and hit Mingzhu.
