The origin of the River Styx in the demon world is a huge skull. It opens a huge mouth as dark as an abyss, and continuously spits out river water like ink. The land in the upper basin where the river water passes is filled with demons. It is also a good land with the most demon lairs. But there is a special place that is shrouded in thick smoke all day long. The smoke forms a semi-circle like expanding living creatures, isolating the world inside and outside.
As the Styx River flows through this place, it becomes more turbid, and water vapor and water bubbles often appear. In the lower basin of the Styx, which starts from this point, the footprints of demons are getting smaller and smaller, which is also the so-called River of Death.
"Yanbei, the strength of the seal has weakened a lot. What do you think?" Caesar and the mysterious man appeared here. They did not enter the smoke, but observed the changes around them outside.
Yanbei hid his true face under the black veil, only revealing a pair of gloomy eyes. Except for his eyes, everything about him was dark, so in the dimly lit demon world, he blended perfectly with the darkness, as if he didn't exist.
"What is supposed to come will always come, and we will eventually have to face it" Yan Bei hesitated to speak.
"You are not answering the question. What I am saying is that the dark seal has weakened. If this continues, the resentment in the dark abyss will be resurrected. This is no joke. If it is not stopped at this time, an earth-shattering catastrophe will occur in the demon world. "Caesar also has a worried side, and it seems that the situation is unexpectedly not optimistic.
Yanbei looked up at the crimson and dim sky of the demon world, and stood quietly without responding to Caesar, lost in thought and thinking about something. He has the thinking of a human and the style of a demon. He feels like a combination of humans and demons.
Caesar was helpless. Maybe he had long been accustomed to Yan Bei's unpredictable way of doing things. He only knew that Yan Bei had lived for 1,333 years and his life experience was a mystery. (Unless Yan Bei wanted to Tell him, otherwise Caesar would have no way of knowing his origins.
After a long silence, Bei suddenly asked: "Caesar, do you regret changing from a human to a demon?"
"No regrets!" Caesar answered him habitually, because Yanbei always asked some incomprehensible questions.
"But I have some regrets. I regret turning you from a human into a demon. I don't know if what I did was right?" Yan Bei turned around and turned away from the place where the smoke was, with a vague hint of emotion in his tone. With a sense of sadness.
Caesar froze on the spot. Can't get enough.
Yanbei turned to the conversation and said: "Caesar, I will take you to a place! It's time to let you know the secret hidden in the darkness. Maybe the time has come."
A black whirlwind swept through most of the Demon Realm and then dissipated in front of an unknown cave, where Caesar and Yanbei entered. For the two of them, who were accustomed to darkness, they could move forward without hindrance even though the cave was extremely dark, but it was just too quiet along the way.
When we were almost there, we suddenly saw flashes of green light in front of our eyes. From a distance, it looks like there are countless fireflies circling. In fact, when you look closer, you can see that they are the green eyes of many evil spirits bound to the cave wall. It is not iron chains that bind evil spirits. But vines dripping with black blood. Blooming purple-black rose flowers.
Yanbei turned a blind eye to the howling evil spirits and continued to move towards a deeper destination. Caesar was very interested. Even he didn't know that there was such a mysterious place. The further inside, the more he could feel a strong sense of resentment coming towards him.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the cave bottomed out and there was no way through.
"Yanbei. Did you remember the wrong place? When you came here, you suddenly couldn't feel anything." Caesar looked around with his hands behind his back, but couldn't figure out why.
Yan Bei slowly raised his left hand. Roll up your long sleeves to reveal dark black arms, which may have dark red spells on them. I saw him muttering to himself, and suddenly a wide underground hole flashed before his eyes. It turns out that this was a trick. The cave did not bottom out, but was hallucinated by darkness.
There is a magma lake in the underground cave. The most amazing thing is that the magma in this magma lake is black and gray, and the devil fish lives in it. It is a very special fish. Its body can withstand high temperature and pressure, and its breath can make the air boil. Like magma, it feeds on black magma.
Looking up, the wall above the black magma lake is covered with the legendary igneous limestone in the demon world. When this rock is touched, it will emit an earth-shattering explosion, and the blazing fire will not be extinguished even if it is submerged in water. This is the famous Karmic Fire.
"It's incredible" Caesar sighed.
"Don't get excited, you can't stay here for a long time! We are just here to confirm." Yanbei walked towards the black lava lake and squatted down.?
Caesar was surprised to find that the black magma lake reflected the reflection of the cup, which was Wuxiang! There is no body, only a dim soul fire. The so-called formless is one of the rarest undead creatures in the world, which can perfectly and freely transform into any creature.
A devil fish saw Yan Bei, surfaced from the lake, and said in a tone that he had not seen for a long time: "Since you left, you have not returned here for more than a thousand years. If the resentment of the black abyss was not about to awaken, I'm afraid you wouldn't Came back here.¡±
"Stop talking nonsense, how long can the dark seal last?" Yanbei asked, avoiding the topic.
"Seven, seven and forty-nine days." The devil fish exhaled a hot breath, and then said: "We are almost reaching the limit. Maybe if you leave, we will never meet again, Yanbei."
Yan Bei touched the black gold iron stone standing at the fifth place of the black magma lake and saw that the red inscription on the stone was disappearing. He knew that the result could not be changed and he could only face it head on.
"You devil fish clan can move away from here and find another place to live" Yan Bei gave his final advice, his tone gradually weakening.
"No, we cannot leave here for generations. This is the rule of our ancestors. In order to protect the dark seal, we have never thought of leaving here for thousands of years. Even if a disaster is imminent, we cannot live in an ignoble way." There is another one. The devil fish came out from the bottom of the lake, looked at Yan Bei with blurred eyes, and shook his head helplessly.
"Ohgoodbye" Yan Bei stood up and walked towards the exit resolutely.
"Yanbei! Remember! When you reveal your true form, you will lose your original appearance of Wuxiang, which is equivalent to facing death. In order to become Wuxiang, you resolutely jumped into the black lava lake thousands of years ago and suffered for ninety-nine and eighty-eight years. For eleven days, I shed my flesh and bones, refined my soul, and experienced the most cruel pain in the world, and why?" The question from the devil fish came from behind, because Yanbei was walking in a hurry, and it had no time to ask.
"Who knows?" Yanbei disappeared into the darkness.
Caesar followed Yan Bei¡¯s footsteps, with a trace of pity appearing on his sad face. He said nothing or asked anything. Caesar knew Yanbei very well. If it hadn't been for what he had experienced, he would not have chosen to become Wuxiang. (To be continued
