Chapter 514 Entering Yama Palace
Chapter 514 Entering Yama Palace
(Remember to go back and read the previous chapter to make up the word count)
The sky was shrouded in a gloomy gray curtain, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate, leaving only light and shadow intertwined with darkness and despair.
A winding road lay in front of Xue Yi and the other two. It was like a bridge leading to the underworld, pointing directly to the legendary Yama Palace.
This road is surrounded by endless darkness and a strange atmosphere. Demonic energy rages along the way, like a tangible object, sometimes turning into sharp blades that cut through the air, and sometimes turning into distorted illusions, luring travelers into an abyss of no return.
Xue Yi opened the map, which showed a special way of walking. Although this road could lead to Yama Palace, it still required the unique way of walking passed down by successive demon lords in order to arrive and exit safely.
The evil aura that permeated the air brought with it a suffocating feeling of oppression, as if countless pairs of invisible eyes were watching in the dark, making people feel extremely uncomfortable, evil and disgusting.
"You can't walk randomly on this road. I'll walk in the front and you should follow my steps. Don't take a wrong step." She held her breath, looked at the mark on the map, and started to step on the first point.
Xue Yi took each step precisely and resolutely. Her figure shuttled through the dim light and shadow like a night elf, flexible and agile.
The illusion formed by the evil spirit hovered around her, trying to confuse the uninvited guest, but her eyes did not change at all, as if she could see through all illusions.
"stay close."
As she stepped on the last point, a strange wave spread out from under her feet. The evil energy around her seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible force, and the illusion dissipated.
In front of us, a huge door surrounded by ancient runes slowly appeared. That was the gate to Yama Palace.
The gate was carved with intricate patterns, including ferocious beasts and strange runes, which were faintly visible in the dim light.
Xue Yi stared at the gate and took a deep breath. The map marked that only by inserting a token here could the gate be opened.
Foreigners cannot enter.
Damn Yan Qi, I should have brought him in earlier and let him lead the way.
If he sees her again next time, she will make him pay for it.
"The door cannot be opened without the token." She said in a calm voice.
Shi Yuan raised his hand, "I'll do it."
Xue Yi didn't object or stop him. She glanced at Jiang Shouyu unhappily and said coldly, "Take care of yourself and don't hold us back."
Jiang Shouyu just thought she was concerned about him, so he chuckled and put up a protective shield.
Xue Yi drew out the Kun Yue Sword, and a blood moon appeared on the horizon. The air began to distort and fluctuate. As Shi Yuan cast a spell,
"Nirvana, destruction."
An extremely powerful destructive force rushed towards the gate, and in an instant it shattered the door into only a small amount of powder.
Shi Yuan took Xue Yi's hand and said softly, "I'll go ahead, you take a rest."
"Yeah." Xue Yi didn't object or feel embarrassed, and the two of them walked in hand in hand. Jiang Shouyu followed behind with a dark face, like an abandoned and resentful husband.
However, he didn't dare to say much at this moment. Xiaoyi was really annoyed with him right now, and he would make mistakes if he said too much.
There is a long way to go, and they have plenty of time to spend together.
Inside the hall, dim lights flickered, and the emptiness was so frightening.
Not to mention the artifact fragments, there is not even a single hair.
On the four walls, the ancient murals seemed to tremble gently with their breathing, and the monsters in the paintings seemed able to break free from their restraints and step into reality at any time.
Xue Yi tightly gripped the Kun Yue Sword, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, reflecting her furrowed brows. Her intuition told her that something was wrong here.
Shi Yuan and her hands were still held together, releasing a faint spiritual power shield to resist the chill and uneasiness of this unknown space.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the destroyed door slowly reassembled in front of the astonished eyes of the three people, making a low roar, and finally tightly closed the only way out.
As the deafening roar subsided, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, and then the shadows on the mural began to wriggle like living things, breaking free from the constraints of the frame.
Three magical beasts of different shapes, with monstrous demonic energy and unparalleled ferocity, leaped out with a bang. Their pupils flashed with bloodthirsty red light, and their fangs were bared. Every roar made the space tremble, as if they wanted to tear apart people's souls.
Jiang Shouyu was the first to be hit. He was suddenly hit by a dragon-like monster covered in flames. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his clothes red.
His protective shield collapsed instantly under the violent attack of the monster, appearing extremely fragile.
"Jiang Shouyu!"
Xue Yi shouted loudly and moved her body to cast a protective shield for Jiang Shouyu, giving him a chance to catch his breath and turn over.
She drew her sword and quickly fought with the monster, and Shi Yuan did the same.
Jiang Shouyu quickly adjusted his state, but his weapon, the Crescent Moon Bow, was not suitable here. He could only choose the second best and a magic sword to join the battle.
But the situation here was really strange. The three of them found it increasingly difficult to fight and were all injured, even the most powerful Shi Yuan was no exception.
He found that his destructive power did not seem to have much effect here. Instead, these monsters became more powerful and faster as they fought.
