Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 167 Darkness
"This is what happens after death."

Shi Xuan didn't look back, and his voice became even hoarser.

"Some dead people have more and more human faces on their bodies. When there are enough, they can leave the village."

“Some dead people become peeled-off human faces.”

"The remaining consciousness completely dissipated and disappeared completely from the world."

Shi Xuan stopped and looked at the white stone road ahead.

At the end of the road is the cliff of nothingness.

original.

This village is suspended in the sky.

The sky and the ground were all blindingly pale.

Look around.

Countless villages and towns, one after another, are spread across the sky.

Shi Xuan took out a large piece of dead man's jade from his pocket and activated it.

Gray mist is everywhere.

At the end of the road, an illusory portal appeared.

"Walk."

Shi Xuan stepped into the door first.

Seeing this, Jiang walked to the door, stopped, and looked back.

The villages and towns were dead silent, and the red and green houses looked like paper figures.

Several dead people were standing on the roof, looking this way.

"This place is completely different from the surface."

Jiang Jian frowned slightly, used the karma fire to protect his body, turned around and walked into the door.

Light and shadow change.

In front of us is an ancient city gate more than ten meters high.

The city gate is as majestic as a mountain and is too huge.

So much so that the two of them standing in front of the door looked extremely small.

A huge plaque hangs on the city gate.

On it, four ancient characters are engraved in gold.

Jiuhua Mountain City.

When he reached the city gate, Shi Xuan looked even sadder.

He stopped and whispered, "Jiang Jian, this is where I ask you to help."

Jiang Jianlue was silent for a moment, then asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"You'll find out later."

Shi Xuan gripped his long sword tightly, passed through the gap in the city gate, and walked inside.

Jiang Jian carefully observed his surroundings and memorized the terrain before turning around and walking into the city gate.

On Broad Street.

There were many dead people walking around.

They are almost all covered with human faces.

Some of the dead were propped up by countless noses and eyes, their bodies were bloated and fat, and their height was even over three meters.

Some of the dead bodies were covered with mouths all over their bodies. They were more than two meters long and lay on the ground, wriggling with the help of countless mouths.

“This is the land.”

Shi Xuan laughed bitterly and said, "After death, everything can be put to rest."

"But some people, even after they die, still have to suffer this kind of punishment day and night."

"A shred of consciousness remains, drifting in the ethereal, paper-like world of the dead, day after day, over and over again."

"This horrific punishment even exceeds the eighteen levels of hell."

Talking.

Shi Xuan was familiar with the place. He walked to an attic and pushed the door open to go in.

Jiang Jian walked into the attic, looked up, his pupils contracted, and he saw an extremely shocking scene!

That was a three-story-tall dead body!

It sat there with its wheel-sized head pressed against the ceiling.

His whole body was covered with dead people's ears!

The dead body's ears were so densely packed together that at a glance, there were at least hundreds of thousands of them!

On its huge head, there was a dead person's face, with a complete nose, eyebrows and eyes.

But there are also many dead ears sticking out of this face.

It's just much thinner compared to other parts.

"She's my mother."

Shi Xuan's body trembled, "I need you to help me, to free her."

"See you Jiang."

"May I?"

Shi Xuan turned around, his whole body trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Jiang Jianqiang calmed himself down, took a half step back, and asked, "How do I get back to the surface?"

Shi Xuan's eyes showed sadness as he said, "I have a way to send you back."

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "I can help you, but you must first tell me how to get back."

The two faced each other for a moment.

Shi Xuan still lost his temper and said, "I believe you."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out another large piece of dead man's jade. "Take it with you and walk to the west gate of Jiuhua Mountain City. There is an exit to the land boundary there."

"Every once in a while, the place where the Underworld exists will intersect with the surface world." "That's how the Underworld exit appears."

"Every time the two realms meet, it only takes about a day."

Shi Xuan estimated for a moment, "According to the Earth Realm cycle, there should only be 1 hour left."

Jiang Jian took the Dead Man's Jade with a cold look in his eyes.

Shi Xuan said it nicely.

But he didn't teach me how to use the Dead Man's Jade at all!

Sensing for a moment.

Jiang Jian was shocked.

The gray energy on his soul has dissipated a lot!
Now, only a very thin layer remains!
If I leave now and go to the west gate of Jiuhua Mountain City, I don’t have the method to use the Dead Jade.

Then, your alien aura will be exposed.

Moreover, they can never leave the realm of the dead.

Jiang Jian didn't ask.

He knew it.

If I don’t help Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan would never tell him the real method of using the Dead Jade.

What made Jiang Jian most alert was.

My own spiritual energy is slowly being consumed.

Use some, then you will have less.

There is no inspiration from heaven and earth to be absorbed here.

The wooden box containing the water spirit was not carried with him.

In other words.

I have no way to recover my spiritual energy!

"Didn't you say that the dead can't die anymore?"

Jiang Jian asked.

Shi Xuan's face was distorted and painful. He pointed at the dead person's original face and said, "It's actually very simple. As long as her own face is peeled off, it can be destroyed on the spot. She will be free."

Jiang Jian said coldly: "If I take action, the face that is peeled off will grow back on my body."

"Of course you can't, you are a living person."

Shi Xuan laughed bitterly and said, "I'll reveal it."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian stared at Shi Xuan, his heart trembling slightly.

"Jiang Jian, you should have guessed it."

Shi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at his frail body, "Actually, I'm already a dead man. I can never get out again."

His eyes were dazed and he was muttering to himself.

"At first, I couldn't understand why there was such a place as the Realm of the Dead."

"Later, I figured it out."

"The world of the dead is the dark side of the earth."

"The moment the Earth's star ring was born, the world of the dead appeared."

"The star's light shines down and is transformed by the star rings, splitting into two types."

"The positive energy within it is spread across the surface world."

"Negative energy is all thrown into the realm of the dead, causing it to become distorted and grotesque, causing pain and suffocation."

“That’s how things are in this world.”

"Where there is light, there is darkness."

"It's just a pity for those living people. After they die, they have to suffer such torture."

His voice became softer and softer.

Until complete silence.

Negative energy is very scary.

Due to the protection of the star ring, there is no such thing in the world of living people.

Only the earth exists.

Before that, on the banks of Shaoshui River.

When Shi Xuan suddenly attacked, Jiang Jian reacted extremely quickly and activated "A World Away".

But Shi Xuan didn't know how he managed to mobilize negative energy and envelop the whole place.

When Jiang saw this place, both "a short distance yet a world away" and "rainbow after the rain" became ineffective.

Shi Xuan directly dragged him into the entrance to the earth.

While the two were talking.

The three-story-tall dead man's mountain-like body shook.

Countless dead ears were shaken off like dumplings.

"She's waking up."

Seeing this scene, Shi Xuan's expression became even more painful. "She was afraid that I would become a dead person, so she gave me many methods, allowing me to temporarily pass through the intersection of the two realms and leave the dead world some time ago."

"But I think differently from her."

"I made these arrangements while she was sleeping."

"I'm willing to stay here in her place."

"Let her be free."

Shi Xuan stuck the Moon Chasing Blade into the ground and rubbed his face hard.
