When Kaos's vision regained its clarity and the sharp whistling sound in his ears disappeared, he finally saw where he was.
The scene just now was still lingering in his mind. When he held the sword in the blood pool, the abnormal twist in the air was very familiar. It was the feeling of touching the spatial point and causing space-time transfer.
Kaos looked around. Above his head was endless darkness. It looked like a dark night sky without stars or moons. However, Kaos knew that this was the next level of the ruins, deep underground.
Behind him was a towering cliff. It was abnormally steep and barren, making it difficult to climb. It looked like a dead end. In front of him was a boundless black water body. In the middle of the water body, there was a straight path paved with marble. It passed through the water and pointed far ahead. The end of the path was hidden in darkness.
The stone path on the surface of the water was about three meters wide. Every ten meters on both sides, there would be a stone pillar as tall as a person. Above the stone pillar was a flickering flame, illuminating the dark water.
It seemed that this was the only way.
Kaos carefully stepped onto the marble floor and walked into the unknown darkness.
As he moved forward, he pushed his soul sensing ability to the limit. Even though he had the most powerful divine power detection ability in the entire God Race, there was no sign of divine power in the vast space. Including the black waters that seemed to be filled with danger, there was no evidence of the existence of any divine power or strange beasts within a few thousand meters of the bottom of the water.
Kaos's metal-inlaid boots stepped on the hard marble floor, making a series of empty footsteps that echoed on the unusually vast and quiet water surface.
Looking down from above, he was as small as a dark purple ant, crawling on a stone path that crossed the water.
When they reached the end of the path, the water area ended. Kaos walked to the shore and looked up to see a cliff that was so high that the top could not be seen. It was almost identical to the cliff on the other side of the water area. There was not a single blade of grass growing on it, and there were strange rocks. The only difference was that there was a huge stone door in the middle of the cliff. Beside the stone door was a stone tablet that was a few meters tall. Under the stone tablet was a groove that looked like an altar.
As he walked over, a line of fluorescent fire suddenly flashed on the stone tablet. It seemed to be the words of the beast race. Kaos narrowed his eyes and tried to decipher it.
Those who wish to open the white gates of hell, abandon your magic treasures.
Kaos lowered his head and understood that the groove was the place where the person placed the magic treasure.
This was similar to the seal that required a pool of blood to pass through.
At this moment, Kaos completely understood that the layers of design were all for the same purpose: It continuously weakened the strength of those who tried to approach the last level.
Whether it was the Hydra on the first floor, the spatial point on the second floor that could only be revealed by filling the pool with blood, or the door that could only be opened by letting the person drop their magic treasure, all of them had this purpose.
Kaos thought about it and closed his eyes.
[Attribute Change: Magic Treasure Harmonization Technique]
There was a buzzing sound in the air, and a white weapon that looked like a sharp awl appeared in the air.
Kaos extended his hand to grab the awl and gently placed it in the groove under the stone tablet. At this moment, the groove suddenly flashed a few times. In an instant, the groove was sealed by hard ice. The ancient awl was frozen in the transparent ice, looking like an ancient monster specimen.
The stone door in front of him let out a heavy roar as it moved to the sides. A stream of air rushed in from the gap in the stone door.
The cold air was like the wind blowing over a frozen lake.
A strange feeling suddenly rose in Kaos 'heart. The stone door looked like a cave. From the outside, one could not tell how deep it was. Cold and sinister air constantly blew out from inside, brushing against one's face like the breath of a ghost. However, this was not the source of the strange feeling. Kaos closed his eyes, but there were still no signs of divine power in the surroundings.
However, there was an indescribable sense of terror.
Something must have gone wrong, but what exactly was the problem?
However, Kaos had no time to think. The stone door slowly closed. Kaos frowned. His body flashed and he disappeared behind the stone door. The door closed with a bang.
Activating the light elements in the chaos, he floated in front of Kaos, illuminating a small area.
Just like the previous ruins, the entire cave was still dark. The darkness was like a sticky liquid, filling up all the space in all directions.
Kaos carefully walked forward while carefully sensing the changes in the divine power around him.
Kaos used the light element to examine the cave that was buried deep within the cliff. The cave was not very high, but it was very deep. He had not seen the end of the cave even after walking in. The air flow in front of him indicated that the cave was very large, enough to form a vortex. Because the stone door behind him had been sealed, even if there was an exit in front, it would not be enough to form a vortex.
The surrounding stone walls were covered with a layer of strange-looking white powder. Rather than powder, it was better to call it white dots the size of needle tips that were arranged neatly. They were densely packed and very neat. The ground under his feet was covered with countless white dried grass that looked like withered reed leaves. The color was completely white, and it looked like the entire cave was covered in ice and snow.
Kaos suddenly recalled the words " White Hell " mentioned on the altar in the ruins. Could it be referring to this white cave in front of him?
Suddenly, a cold chill interrupted Kaos's thoughts. It was as if a snake had slithered into his back. The strange feeling in the air came again.
Kaos lowered his head. He suddenly realized that the withered reed-like dry grass beneath his feet had all turned into wriggling living things. They were like thousands of white earthworms. The entire snow-white ground was wriggling.
Following that, one after another, white dried grass wrapped around Kaos 'ankles and quickly climbed up. Kaos raised his hand and was just about to activate his divine power when his heart suddenly sank to the freezing point.
He suddenly found that his body was empty. A large amount of divine power had disappeared without him knowing when. The remaining divine power in his body was less than one-thousandth. When he wanted to absorb the surrounding Golden Morning Mist to replenish his divine power, he was horrified to find that there was no trace of Golden Morning Mist in the entire cave. It was a huge divine power hole. The light element floating above his head flickered a few times before extinguishing. It seemed that the divine power that he had injected into the light was suddenly absorbed by something.
The entire cave was instantly engulfed by darkness. Before Kaos could react, he felt the white ribbon-like grass vines climbing up his legs grow sharp thorns and stab into his body.
Kaos closed his eyes, and the brand instantly tightened.
A transparent distortion appeared in the air. In the next instant, Kaos 'figure suddenly disappeared.
Kaos's entire body suddenly appeared out of thin air and he crashed heavily onto the ground. Pain shot through his bones, and his blurry vision gradually cleared. He saw the tightly shut stone door and the towering stone tablet. In the groove under the stone tablet, the ancient spike that had been frozen in ice crystals had already disappeared, leaving behind an empty piece of ice that was slowly melting.
Kaos understood that he had already stepped into the realm of death. Fortunately, he had placed the Soul Stabbing Spike here earlier, leaving a line of defense.
This magic treasure was found in a small town when he was carrying out the only strangulation order against the dragon race in his life. At that time, this magic treasure was sold by a wandering merchant on the roadside.
Later on, Kaos discovered the effects of the Soul-stabilizing Spike. Under any circumstances, as long as the owner tried to retrieve the magic treasure, it would be able to pull the user back to the location of the magic treasure when the magic treasure returned to the owner's body, regardless of how far it was from the user or whether it was blocked by other seals.
Its function was equivalent to a space point tailored for the user. If used well, it could retreat safely in any dangerous battle situation. Although it couldn't hurt the enemy, it could definitely save his life.
Kaos was secretly glad that he had left this magic treasure outside. Otherwise, he would have been devoured by those white withered grass.
However, this white grass…
Fortunately, his own characteristics allowed him to possess an infinite number of characteristics, and he could even use the magic treasure synchronization technique. If it were any other God, they would probably have died in the white grass threads just now.
Kaos was resting under the stone tablet, slowly recovering the divine power in his body. He discovered that there was still Golden Morning Mist outside the cave. His divine power was continuously recovering.
Then, why was there no Golden Morning Mist in the cave just now? Logically speaking, the spread and penetration of the Golden Morning Mist would not be blocked by any medium. Whether it was gas, liquid, or solid, it could permeate and spread. In the entire human world, there could only be differences in the concentration of the morning mist, but it was impossible for there to be a place without any Golden Morning Mist. Moreover, the strangest thing was that even if the entire cave was empty due to some reason, why did the divine power in his body completely disappear?
If it was man-made, then according to the level of his divine power, although the upper limit of his divine power was lowered too much, it was impossible for anyone to be strong enough to break through the barrier of his body and take away all his divine power.
It seemed that he must have underestimated the white withered grass on the ground just now.
Kaos carefully recalled. He had never heard of such a white plant that could absorb the divine power of a god. In fact, that thing could not even be called a plant.
This was because when they crawled and attached themselves to his legs, they were like leeches that sucked blood, firmly gripping onto his skin. Furthermore, Kaos could feel that the spikes that they pierced into his body could rapidly reproduce and grow in his muscles, just like the roots of the Chinese caterpillar fungus, quickly devouring the entire host's body.
That's right! It was something that was mentioned in biology class!
Because there were too few resources, they only emphasized the example of this plant:
Shennong, one of the three emperors of the Eastern God Clan, accidentally entered this plant group known as the White Ghost Hair and was hanged alive. He was as powerful as Fuxi, Emperor Haotian, but he also died here…
It seemed that he had to be extremely careful.
After resting for a while, Kaos felt the godly power in his body return to full capacity.
He thought for a moment and closed his eyes. In the air, the soul of Artemis floated out. He reached out and carefully held her in his palm. He gently placed it into the Pristine Jade Bottle. At the same time, the Soul Stabilizing Spike that had just saved his life appeared in the air.
He walked to the bottom of the stone tablet and reached out to place the Bone Spur into the groove on the stone tablet again. When the ancient spike was frozen in the stone groove again, the door in front of him opened again.
It was only at this moment that Kaos finally understood the true meaning of " White Hell ". However, he did not hesitate and walked into the dark cave again.
After walking about five to six steps into the cave, he could see that there were already scattered white grass threads on the ground. The deeper he went, the denser they became. Further ahead, the black stone floor could hardly be seen, leaving only thick white withered grass covering the entire cave.
Kaos didn't take a single step forward. The person standing in the cave continued to hang the orb of light in the air to illuminate the area. He then raised his hand to release a spear and threw it forward. With a clang, the spear pierced into the ground. In the blink of an eye, the seemingly withered white grass threads on the ground all woke up. They once again turned into earthworm-like living things and coiled around the spear's handle. The light that had been shrouding the spear was completely extinguished after two to three seconds.
Kaos's pupils constricted. With a loud cry, the spear transformed into a few wisps of whistling light and returned to his body.
"Looks like it really is the white grass growing on the ground.”Kaos whispered in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the surrounding stone walls. Fortunately, there were no white grass threads covering them. He thought for a moment, and once again held the jade bottle that contained most of the Divine Power Water and his sister's soul. Then, he moved like a gliding black swallow, and quickly climbed along the stone wall into the cave. His clothes were blown by the wind, and the ball of light followed his lightning-fast figure and shot into the cave.
However, Kaos didn't notice that behind him, the densely packed white needle-like dots on the stone wall earlier were now spreading out like a blizzard. Every tiny needle-like dot shot out from the stone wall in an instant, turning into white grass strands that swayed wildly.
The endless grass threads were blown by the wind on the stone walls of the cave. They looked like the white hair of countless dead people. They swayed wildly and swept towards the silver dust.
The sounds behind him were getting closer and closer. It sounded like thousands of ants were gnawing on bones. Kaos turned around and saw countless strands of grass that looked like long white hair flying towards him. His pupils suddenly locked. He didn't dare to slow down at all. He sped up and rushed into the depths of the cave.
All of a sudden, his vision blurred. On the stone wall in front of him, a large mass of white grass threads exploded and pierced towards him. He forcefully turned around in the air and leaped towards the stone wall opposite him. As soon as his hands touched the stone wall opposite him, he heard the dense ant-like sound on the stone wall again. He knew that the grass threads in the entire cave had been fully awakened. He rushed in recklessly. He knew that this was the only way to find his sister's body, but... Where is it?
The cave suddenly enlarged in front of him, and a huge space appeared in front of him. Kaos waved his hands, and a beam of light shot forward, illuminating the entire dark cave. Under the golden light, Kaos saw a beautiful figure lying on an ice bed in the middle of the empty cave.
The figure was obscured by the white fog, and his face could not be seen clearly. It was as if he had fallen into an eternal slumber. However, even without looking clearly, Kaos knew that this was the person he had been searching for for tens of thousands of years, Artemis.
Kaos's tears instantly flowed out of his eyes. He was about to shout out from his throat when he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his ankle. He fell heavily from the stone wall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the entire cave was filled with screams, as if thousands of insects were being burned at the same time. His vision was filled with crazily dancing white ghost-like grass threads. Kaos fell to the ground, and countless white earthworm-like monsters wrapped around his body. Countless cold and sharp thorns pierced into his body, and then they reproduced crazily.
However, Kaos did not seem to be in any pain. His gaze was as firm as the stars. He knew that the divine power in his body was being devoured crazily, but he still relied on his physical strength to crawl towards the ice bed. The white grass pulled at him even harder, blocking his way forward. Every single blade of grass seemed to have a life of its own as it let out a hysterical shriek. They instantly grew thicker, sharper, and more powerful... all to prevent Kaos from getting close.
With every step he took, Kaos felt a piercing pain in his body. His right hand was tightly gripping the jade bottle that contained the soul. Countless white grass threads were trying to burrow into his right hand, but he still held it tightly. He didn't loosen his grip at all. The grass threads were like saw blades, crazily tearing and gnawing at his clenched fist.
The back of Kaos's hand had already turned into a bloody mess. After a while, his right hand was only left with a ghastly
However, his fists were still tightly clenched. He clearly knew that the shen power in his body had completely disappeared. He could no longer use the Soul Stabilizing Spike to leave this place!
His vision began to blur, and the pain in his body became insignificant. He didn't know that his legs, abdomen, and waist were already a bloody mess. The white grass had eaten them so deeply that his bones could be seen.
His blood flowed out of his body and stained a large area of withered grass. It looked like a bright red lotus flower blooming on the snow. His chest was gradually occupied by those sharp roots, and he could not breathe. It was as if his entire body was being pulled by a sinister ghost, falling into the dark hell. The light above his head had been extinguished at some point, and only the faint silver-white light of the jade bottle was left, illuminating the blurry outline of Artemis, who was almost in front of him.
Kaos stretched out his hand inch by inch towards Artemis. He knew that as long as he buried this complete soul into her body, the Golden Morning Mist that would surge out of the jade bottle would definitely wake her up. With her superb divine power, she would definitely be able to wake up.
Kaos's outstretched arm trembled, but he was still a few inches away from Artemis 'body. His vision was already blurry, and his breathing gradually stopped. All kinds of pale ghosts of dying began to appear in his mind.
Suddenly, a few strands of grass as thick as a wrist appeared on the ground of his right foot. They looked like a few swift white poisonous snakes. They wrapped around his right foot and pulled him back.
Kaos looked at his younger sister in front of him. Her face showed that she was sleeping soundly. She looked so noble and beautiful.
In the legends of Buddha, they were the sleeping gods who had no love, hate, anger, or stupidity, and were eternally quiet.
Kaos suddenly felt an irresistible sadness in his chest. He, who had always been calm, could not help but cry. However, because his chest could no longer rise and fall, he could not make too much noise.
His hot tears fell drop by drop on his bloody face, and his sobs sounded small.
The sound was blurry again, like the wail of a small animal before it died. " Let me save you…Let me save you…Sister…" His tears mixed with his blood and burned his eyes. He seemed to have returned to his young self. He had completely forgotten that he was already a noble god.
Kaos turned his head and looked at the white vines that were crazily gnawing at his right leg. He gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to twist his right leg. With a " crack " sound, he forcefully broke his already torn right leg from the knee. The white vines loosened, and Kaos used the last of his conscious will and strength to extend his right hand, which was only left with bones, towards Artemis 'body.
In the next instant, Kaos's vision went black and he lost all consciousness. In the last sensation of his life, the surroundings were filled with the whistling of sharp wind, as if there were thousands of soft blades spinning and cutting.
Countless monsters screamed in the wind, as if the gates of hell had opened. Countless undead surged out and devoured the entire world.
He felt that he had become one of the thousands of screaming undead, falling heavily into the eternal gate of hell.
Of course, he didn't feel the soul in his hand rushing out…
