Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 56 The Tower of Eternity, Land of the Dead

Without hesitation, Long Haochen summoned Haoyue. As soon as it appeared, Xiaoqing emitted a cyan halo that gently enveloped everyone.

Instantly, everyone felt as light as a feather.

Moonbeam took out a specially made spider silk rope and quickly tied it around each person's waist.

Before everyone could adjust their state, he suddenly leaped, taking the entire team straight into the abyss!

"Aaaaaah—Captain, I'm not ready yet!"

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Chen Ying'er's screams echoed through the crack. She clung tightly to the McDull pig in her arms, her whole body wrapped around the rope like an octopus.

McDull was so tightly bound that his eyes rolled back, and his short pig trotters thrashed wildly in the air.

……

The group plummeted like meteors, with the corpses of several great demons hanging on the rock walls along the way, their hideous faces forever frozen in agony.

The speed of free fall caused them to plummet more than two thousand meters in just half a minute.

The holy light released by Yating finally illuminated the bottom. Yuehui immediately unfolded his lightning wings, and with a burst of purple lightning, he abruptly stopped his movement. At the same time, he wrapped his arms around Cai'er and caught her steadily in his arms.

Others weren't so lucky.

It looked just like a string of yo-yos being thrown out, bouncing back and forth under the pull of the spider's silk.

When they finally stopped swaying, everyone except Cai'er, who was being held by Yuehui, collapsed to the ground, their legs trembling.

"Regimental Commander" Lu Xi, pale-faced, knelt on his knees. "Well done. Next time, could you at least give me a heads-up? Ugh—"

＿|￣|●

Wang Yuanyuan slumped to the ground, the Giant Spirit Shield falling to the side with a clatter.

Long Haochen barely managed to maintain the position of kneeling on one knee, but cold sweat was already beading on his forehead.

Chen Ying'er lay flat on her back in a starfish position, while McDull in her arms spun around in a daze.

Han Yu leaned against the rock wall, his legs still trembling.

Moonlight casually loosened his grip on the scaffold, his purple eyes sweeping over the disheveled team members: "Get used to it, we've arrived."

Lu Xi took a deep breath, forcing himself to endure the discomfort as he chanted a spell, and a gentle light of the purification spell shone down on everyone.

As the incantation took effect, the dizziness gradually subsided.

"You've finally come in handy." Chen Ying'er got up from the ground, with Mai Dou in her arms still drooping its ears listlessly.

Lu Xi rolled her eyes listlessly, too exhausted to even retort.

"Keep moving forward!" Moonbeam, holding the Thunder Sword, led the way.

Cai'er followed closely behind, followed by Long Haochen, Wang Yuanyuan, Lu Xi, and Chen Ying'er, with Han Yu covering the rear.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the previously wide crack suddenly narrowed.

At the end of this narrow passage, a faint gray halo appeared and disappeared.

In this absolute darkness, even such a dim light stood out conspicuously.

"Woo-"

A faint, low whistling sound echoed between the rock walls, like a whisper before a storm, or the prelude to a terrifying howl.

"Commander!" Long Haochen raised the Holy Spirit Shield, golden light flowing across its surface, reflecting his solemn expression.

"Um……"

Yuehui responded, understanding what Long Haochen was warning him about. The dense death aura ahead was almost tangible, making even the air thicken.

"All personnel, prepare Holy Light Shield and Purification spells," Moonshine commanded in a deep voice.

"Woo~!"

Ya-ting floated to the center of the group and carefully clasped her hands together in front of her chest.

Although she is still in her original form as a light elemental spirit, casting basic light magic is no problem for her.

Pure light elements gathered around her, gradually forming a warm sphere of light.

The group cautiously proceeded for about 300 meters, and the hazy halo ahead gradually became clearer.

After rounding a narrow bend, the previously hazy gray light suddenly brightened, like the first ray of dawn piercing through the thick fog.

Everyone tensed up instinctively, but when the scene before them was fully revealed, they were all so shocked that they held their breath—

Hundreds of meters ahead of them, a huge cone-shaped cave suddenly opened up.

The cave walls were incredibly smooth, as if they had been meticulously polished by some mysterious force, reflecting a faint gray glow.

The light was neither dazzling nor warm; instead, it carried a chilling coldness that made the entire space seem both lifeless and dreamlike, detached from reality.

However, the most astonishing discovery was yet to come—in this desolate place nearly three thousand meters underground, a towering tower stood majestically!

The tower is over 100 meters tall and has seven floors. Its architectural structure, with its four sides, exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

The tower was radiating a dense, grayish-white halo, a light that contained a suffocating stillness and terrifying spiritual power.

"Commander...commander...those wouldn't be...ghosts, would they?"

Chen Ying'er's face turned deathly pale. She clutched McDull tightly in her arms and pointed towards the tower in a trembling voice.

Countless gray-white lights and shadows surrounded the tower like a tide, as if drawn by some irresistible force, surging towards the tower one after another.

Countless souls clung to the gray-white energy layer outside the tower, like a writhing cocoon, making the entire tower appear even more sinister and eerie.

"Woo——"

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the deathly silence!

The once quiet and attached souls suddenly erupted, scattering wildly like a gray fog stirred up by a hurricane!
"Lightning Magnetic Barrier!"

Moonlight's eyes sharpened, and a shield crackling with arcs of lightning instantly unfolded, enveloping everyone within it.

However, this impact was far greater than ever before—the surface of the barrier trembled violently, and the lightning flickered on and off, as if it would be shattered by the shrill roar at any moment!
"Maintain formation and advance!" Moonshine shouted, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings. "Beware of attacks from the undead! Use Purification at any time!"

As soon as the group took a few steps forward, clusters of grayish-white light and shadow pounced fiercely at Moonlight and his group of seven.

Fortunately, the team had Long Haochen, Han Yu, Lu Xi, and the light spirit Yating. Whenever a ghost approached, it would be purified and burned by the holy light, and then retreat in panic accompanied by mournful howls.

With everyone working together, they soon arrived at the tower gate.

Moonlight said in a deep voice, "Let's go in!"

With that, he stretched out his hand and exerted force, and the heavy door slowly opened with a creak.

In an instant, a dense stream of dark gray energy surged out from the tower, containing extremely pure death energy.

Upon seeing this, Long Haochen's heart tightened, and he immediately unleashed the [Ripples of Light] technique.

This is a skill he learned after referencing Moonbeam's [Lightning Magnetic Barrier].

Pure holy light and pure death energy collided violently, and a crackling sound immediately filled the air, as if the light and darkness of the world were engaged in a fierce battle.
