The Spirit World

Chapter 601: Absolute Shadow
For Chang Yufeng, from the moment he failed to save Lin'er, his so-called living was actually death...

In this long time, the most tragic thing is the death of the heart. The long separation, the long and distant sadness, if it is to shock the world, it wants to be sung here.

The hustle and bustle, the ups and downs, if it is really all a dream, then just treat it as an ordinary thing in life, and enjoy your life.

Is there really reincarnation in this world...

If I have great ambitions, if I have great undertakings, if I am not an ordinary person, if people are not burdened by emotions, then what should be the meaning of life?

The long dark night was like a cloak covering Chang Yufeng's body, leaving him with scars that were difficult to get rid of.

"We're almost there..." Chang Yufeng spoke to Erica behind him. His voice was very soft, as if it did not pass through the throat but came directly from the mouth. He did not turn around, but slowly put his hands behind his back and gave Erica a small kettle.

He was dressed in black, except for the few strands of white hair on his head, even the sword he carried was shiny black.

"How long will it take..." Erica coughed dryly, took the kettle and gulped down the water.

Erica wore a black robe, hiding her long white hair in a hood, and asked quietly, "At the end of the road ahead..."

Although it is dark here, it is a vast desert of wind and sand, and... the wailing of ghosts.

Those countless wronged souls, here, in this vast desert, the shrill ghost cries are like a knife scraping the souls of cowards. Even if you cover your ears, you can't stop the sound of those ghosts crying from entering your ears.

"There is still some way to go to the Netherworld...but if I said we're almost there, then we're almost there..." Chang Yufeng looked up at the evil spirits glaring at him hungrily above his head. They were floating, with bright red tears of blood and white skulls intertwined. Their sharp fangs and claws would have been terrifying knives if they had flesh and blood when they were alive.

There was a green light coming out of their mouths, just like the underworld where there was a dilemma between life and death.

The long-sounding black sword energy rushed straight over their heads, and their shrill cries became even more crazy, but this time they were really dead. Even if they turned into evil spirits, they would disappear in an instant.

Chang Yufeng sheathed the sword, and the black long sword roared. It was only after it was sheathed that it calmed down temporarily...

"I believe you." Erica coughed and was blinded by the wind and sand. She had to use her hands to block it. There was no moonlight here. In the darkness, it was like climbing a tiger. It was difficult to move forward quickly.

This desert is like a cemetery of the dead. The bones that have turned to ashes have become the sandstorms all over the sky... The white sands, together with the miserable ghosts, have created the white sand and green city of the netherworld.

"We are almost there." Chang Yufeng looked calmly at the green light in front of him, sheathed the black sword, and walked calmly on tiptoe.

"Does the netherworld really have scrolls of reincarnation?" Erica looked at Chang Yufeng's tall back. He was moving quickly in the desert, unable to stop at all.

This is a rare area of ​​quicksand. The longer you stay here, the closer you are to death.

"Three Lives Stone." Chang Yufeng had no intention of correcting Erica, but just coldly stated the purpose of this trip.

"Communicate with Yin and Yang...three lives in the past world." Erica recited the ancient spell. She seemed to see the green light in front of her, but she saw it a little later. The green light formed by those netherworld objects was like the cruel soul light that was inevitable after killing.

They gathered together like a towering wall of the dead, blocking the living from the afterlife.

But now, they only appeared vaguely in front of Chang Yufeng and Erica. When they got closer, the gate of life and death that connected the yin and yang worlds became particularly clear.

It was an extremely strange skeleton wall, built with skeletons all over the wall. All living things will eventually die, but there will always be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The eyes of those skeletons emitted a faint green light, and it was their gaze that made this grand city gate formed by the skeletons emit this terrifying evil light.

But they are dead things after all, like bones, but they have no life, which is more than enough to scare people who are afraid of skeletons, but skeletons are nothing more than that. In this white sand desert made of bones, what is the point of just bones?
Bones are scary, but dead things are scary in a much more "well-behaved" way than living things.

"Every demon king has a personal god of death, but he is not limited to following only one god of death." Chang Yufeng looked at the white and green bone wall standing in the desert of bones, and his eyes became sharp. His beautiful black pupils were like a dark whirlpool, drawing everything here into it, and decomposing it completely in the abrupt structure, leaving nothing else.

"I know." Erica replied, looking at the bone city, she touched her shoulders and wrapped her black robe tightly.

"We are heading to the netherworld to look for Lan Luo's god of death. Lan Luo is the first great demon king. Because she is heartless, her personality is unpredictable, and she is the weakest in taking care of the Three Life Stone. Once we get it, we will leave quickly. If there is a fierce fight, you should take care of yourself."

Chang Yufeng unsheathed the black blade and swung it. The white bone sand quickly rolled back into black waves, rolling back wave after wave. There was no wind here, but it was always blocked by the evil wind. It would take enough time to restore peace... maybe forever...

"I understand. I will protect myself."

They approached the bone wall step by step. Every eye on the bone wall was staring at them. Although they were dead, they were on the verge of death in the netherworld. They would always be like this... um... It was funny and embarrassing...

It can only scare the living who have never thought about the true meaning of death or are afraid of skeletons. In this long life, you must always understand that the evil of the living is the most terrifying. For dead things, it is nothing more than physical disgust, not fear and terror.

Chang Yufeng looked at the endless wall of skeletons, trying to find their boundary, but at a glance, he saw that the wall was connected to a barrier of nothingness. Thus, it was a forbidden area for the living. Under the barrier, there was only a wall of the dead for dead things to enter and exit.

【Shadowless·Heaven-destroying Formation】

Chang Yufeng didn't say anything more. Since he came here prepared, he didn't worry too much and didn't hesitate at all to observe the terrain here.

Chang Yufeng raised the sword, and the black light was frighteningly bright in this dark world. The sword seemed to absorb the black light, rolling up the life energy between heaven and earth. Chang Yufeng changed the posture of holding the sword to the posture of sheathing it, and swung the sword energy that had just been condensed at an angle, gathering into a dark evil light that rushed away.

Not gorgeous at all, even ordinary, this black evil light was blocked by the city wall and turned into white steam that disappeared into the air.

"We can only enter this kind of barrier with the consent of the gatekeeper of the underworld." Chang Yufeng sheathed the sword again, shook the hilt, and suppressed the black blade.

"Where is the gatekeeper?" Erica stood quietly beside him, her black magic robe vibrating from the sword energy just now. "Gatekeeper, here..." Chang Yufeng pulled out the black long sword from his waist again, and with a light shout, he spread his legs and pressed down his body, holding the long sword across his waist.

【Shadow Flower Slash! 】

Chang Yufeng turned into a long black light and jumped up on the towering skeleton wall. With a "ding" sound, Chang Yufeng quickly fell from the top of the skeleton wall. His black coarse cloth clothes fluttered up and down. He stepped on the skeleton on the wall, turned over and fell down, supported himself on the ground, swung the blade, and sheathed it again. He shook the scabbard again to suppress the roar of the black sword.

The light on the black sword dissipated again, and Chang Yufeng quickly jumped in front of Erica and stood up.

Only the creaking sound of white bones rubbing against each other and then the loud explosions were heard, and then the skeletons opened their green eyes wide in horror. They then revealed a little bit of terrifying expressions, but they quickly calmed down.

Then, silence.

"What's going on?" Erica looked at Chang Yufeng's back. The man was holding the scabbard tightly, sheathed the sword, stood up, and stared straight ahead.

The night here was already dark, but with the sudden strong green light, it became bleak.

"Old man Qingsheng, why don't you come and see me quickly!" Chang Yufeng shouted loudly, facing the city wall, looking seriously at those terrifying green skeletons.

[Ah... Last time you came to take the sword, you tortured me so much that I felt like dying. Now, why are you coming here again? Lord of Immortality.]

The voice of an old man came over lazily and directly reached Chang Yufeng and Erica's heads, which made Erica's head buzzing, so she had to hold her head gently.

"Where is the gatekeeper Li Jingyue?" Chang Yufeng shouted loudly.

"Li Jingyue is out on business. Your world is in chaos and too many people have died... He can't come back for a while." The voice slowly came closer. On this huge city wall, a green skeleton slowly rolled down from the towering wall and fell on the desert of bones.

The skeleton transformed from white sand into a tall male skeleton, quietly putting on a white and black robe, and suddenly appeared in front of Chang Yufeng and Erica.

"We need to go to the underworld. Please let us go." Chang Yufeng stood beside the black-robed skeleton. The black-robed skeleton suddenly hunched over, losing the straight body he had just straightened. When he hunched over, the friction between his bones made a creaking sound.

"I let you go last time you came, but I don't think I should let you go this time..." The black-robed skeleton looked at Chang Yufeng thoughtfully, then turned his green eyes to look at his waist. The black sword was so sharp that even with the scabbard, one could still feel the terrible murderous aura.

The cold and sharpness of the night are just that.

"【Jueying】can be used conveniently? Lord of Immortality..." The black-robed skeleton slowly looked at Chang Yufeng who had a cold face, and walked to his side almost tremblingly, to draw the black sword.

[Black Light - Absolute Shadow]

Chang Yufeng let the black-robed skeleton draw his sword, and the white withered claws pulled out the sword, which startled Erica. She took a step forward, but was stopped by Chang Yufeng's cross arm.

"When will Li Jingyue come back?" Chang Yufeng looked at the black-robed skeleton playing with Jueying, and at the furious black aura on Jueying's body, his brows furrowed.

"I don't think Li Jingyue will come back. He followed Lan Luo to the afterlife. He is probably reincarnated..." The black-robed skeleton said a completely different account of Li Jingyue's whereabouts.

"Why?" Chang Yufeng was a little surprised, but his emotions did not fluctuate.

"The god of death has feelings, that's it... We should sympathize with everything about the seven great demon kings, but we shouldn't sympathize with them either. The god of death having feelings is as bad as a living person forgetting about life." The black-robed skeleton threw Jueying, and Jueying automatically sheathed itself away, fitting tightly against the scabbard and no longer trembling.

"Jueying seems very unhappy... You killed a lot of people, didn't you?" The black-robed skeleton questioned Chang Yufeng in return. Chang Yufeng did not answer him, or rather, the black-robed skeleton did not wait for Chang Yufeng to answer. After getting the answer, the black-robed skeleton said: "Jueying, you need to rebuild your soul. Sooner or later, you will not be able to suppress your resentment, and Jueying will kill your master. If you are here for this matter, I can help you rebuild it."

The black-robed skeleton glanced at Erica, his green eyes glowing brightly: "If you want to do something else, I can't stop you, but if you want to find Li Jingyue, I guess you really can't find him."

"Jueying, you haven't recognized me as your master yet." Chang Yufeng calmly explained his situation. Then he turned around and glanced at Erica. Erica was looked at by both Chang Yufeng and the black-robed skeleton. She frowned and blinked in confusion.

"Of course I don't agree with you. You've killed so many people that you've forgotten yourself... Although they are all guilty, just killing them is too ruthless and completely unfair. Jueying doesn't like this, or rather, his previous master doesn't like indiscriminate killing." The black-robed skeleton sighed: "But he died a long time ago. In the cycle of time and space, who can bear countless failures... Otherwise, Jueying wouldn't have fallen into your hands. Don't you think so? Lord of Immortality?"

The black-robed skeleton's empty green eyes looked at Chang Yufeng again, and Chang Yufeng remained silent.

"You want the Three Lives Stone, right? It's in the hands of a demon girl. No, she's a half-demon, a little fox. You... should have seen it. But she doesn't know how to use the Three Lives Stone yet."

"Why is it in the hands of the demon clan?" Chang Yufeng was really surprised when he heard it.

"Because... Li Jingyue... ah... But, how can I explain this kind of thing clearly..." The black-robed skeleton slowly hung his head in dejection.

"After going to the human world and falling into reincarnation, how can I escape from love?"

just like……

The black-robed skeleton has seen the sadness of all the love-struck people in this world.

"What is love in this world?..."

The black-robed skeleton looked at Chang Yufeng, and the green netherworld light became brighter.

"Life and death are but a moment..."
