Chapter 543: Let the carnage begin
Once they activated the formation, the guards and Orin appeared in a gigantic structure. It was rectangular, with metallic walls containing more than ten thousand cages.
Powerful eyes focused on the trio, and their auras equaled suns, but the guards did not pay too much attention to them and just descended.
Limbo was the name of a facility that worked as both a prison and energy source for the Divinity Faith Army. Some of the prisoners committed grave sins during the lapse of the war, while others were individuals brought here from the Divinity World with the sole purpose of being put in those cages.
Although a new prisoner was a novelty, they soon lost interest and returned to their meditation. Every single one of them spent their whole day training.
They meditated every second, not with the hopes that their cultivation could increase, but to remain alive. There was a special force in Limbo that constantly swallowed their energy and Soul Origin, and if they were to run out of them, the next thing they would begin to lose would be their life force.
That same swallowing force acted over Orin when he entered Limbo, devouring his Soul Origin and energy, worsening his condition.
The two Divine Legends carrying Orin noticed that, but none showed any concern. They limit themselves to continue descending, searching for an empty cell.
While Limbo resembled an underground facility, in reality, it was a secret dimension around half a continent in size, with its dimensional core beneath Saint City.
After descending at full speed for more than an hour, the guards and Orin finally reached an empty cell.
One of the Divine Legends took out the metal orb and approached the cell to activate its formations, while the other kept holding Orin.
“A…”
The Divine Legend with the metal orb heard a noise, and when he turned around, he saw with shock how the unconscious prisoner they dragged here grabbed his comrade’s head and blasted him into the ground.
Fear and apprehension appeared in the Divine Legend’s eyes when he saw that. He and his comrade were both at the Early Supernova Domain Stage, so for someone to take them by surprise, their power must be insanely high.
He was also very smart and understood that whatever this person wanted, they were not their goal and an immense danger loomed over Saint City.
Unfortunately, before the Divine Legend could activate any form of alarm or contact anyone, Orin’s right eye shone with purple light, pulling his consciousness into a nightmarish purple plane.
Absolute terror invaded the Divine Legend’s heart and soul, and he could not do anything as a shadow monster appeared in front of him and entered his body.
The duo endured the same torment, and once their wills were broken and spiritual defenses weakened, purple seals appeared in their True Souls.
Both Divine Legends trembled for a few seconds as blood leaked from their ears and eyes, but then, they stood up as if nothing happened and flew up toward the formation leading out of Limbo.
Surprise, confusion, excitement, all kinds of emotions emerged in the prisoners’ eyes when they saw that. They did not know what was happening, but they could detect that chaos would soon arrive.
The show was not over, and they saw how the man opened his mouth and regurgitated a sphere made of hundreds of magic matrices and rune formations.
Once the sphere appeared, it immediately submerged in the ground, and the next second, Limbo’s magic matrix began to glow as a purple force infiltrated it.
It took a few minutes, but the purple force managed to fully penetrate Limbo’s magic matrix, making a small smile appear on the man’s face.
Although the prisoners did not know what happened with Limbo’s magic matrix, they felt how the force that swallowed their energy and Soul Origin every day for the last century vanished. When they focused on the responsible, something happened that shocked them.
Orin’s body began to tremble, and something seemed to be moving beneath his skin before this one exploded, like a balloon full of blood.
What appeared from the explosion was a handsome man with three eyes and eight majestic wings.
He did not even bother to look at the prisoner and took a deep breath before closing his eyes.
The prisoners started to get impatient as the man just remained there without doing anything. Just as some of them were about to speak, they saw him open his eyes and unleash a monstrous aura.
All those caged inside Limbo were seasoned warriors with powerful souls and will. Otherwise, they would not have survived the horrible living conditions of this place. Many were even killer and sadistic murderers, but even they felt absolute terror as that man’s aura touched them.
The fear was so immense that they began to hallucinate, and a demonic scenery replaced the metallic walls of Limbo. It was an abyssal dungeon full of melted bodies, disgusting parasites, and deformed infants.
“Poor bastards, rejoice, your life of imprisonment has come to an end!”
Luckily for the prisoners, the monstrous aura provoking those abyssal illusions vanished when a powerful voice echoed through Limbo.
The terrified prisoners saw the gates of their cells opening for the first time since their imprisonment started, and they turned to the sky to see the winged man right in front of the Limbo’s only exit.
“I have never been fond of helping out garbage, so this is the deal. Fight and kill until only thirty-three of you are left. I will bring the winners out of this place and help you unleash a battle power beyond your wildest dreams!”
The prisoners found it hard to believe what they were hearing. They were more than fifteen thousand, yet the man wanted them to kill each other until only thirty-three were left.
As they looked toward the sky, the same thought appeared in the mind of every prisoner. Push forward and use the formation to leave this place.
However, there was a monster in their path, and even when he was one against fifteen thousand, the only thing they saw in his face was absolute confidence and hunger.
Their instinct told them they had a better opportunity to survive this bloody battle royale than to face that man.
“Come on, let the carnage begin!”
