Chapter 527: Entering Purgatory
Chapter 527: Entering Purgatory
After ten minutes or so, Nikello City was stirred.
“Someone, someone come quickly, the Purgatory Spy and the surface thief have run away!”
This news spread through Nikello City like it had grown wings, as various regions of spirit insects began to search.
The surrounding area was turned upside down.
They actually couldn’t find a single thing!
The spirit insects felt this was very strange. One was a dark elf and one was a surface dweller, they would be very eye catching no matter where they went. It was impossible for them to not be spotted when escaping from prison, so why was there not a single trace of them?
“Commander, that fellow from the surface seems to have spatial energy. Perhaps they have already……”
“Shut up!” The commander coldly snorted at the officer, “Nikello City have many Divine Sense shielded areas, he can’t lock onto a position outside, so he can’t teleport out. Not to mention that that fellow is injured, so he can’t have gone far. Search, search for me! If you can’t find him, don’t come back to me alive!”
“But this…..” The spirit insects saw the commander releasing a strong killing intent and they didn’t dare go against his order, so they could only buck up and search, “We’ll immediately block up the exits and search from inside the city to outside.”
“Wait!” The commander suddenly thought of something, “The Purgatory spy might try to return to Purgatory. Bring some more people and strengthen the defenses round the channel, don’t give them a single opportunity.”
The commander did not even get to finish.
Several beetle spirit insect soldiers quickly flew over and threw themselves on the ground, “Reporting to the commander. The Purgatory channel has just been attacked and several unknown people have entered it.”
“What?!” The commander was filled with rage, “The entire channel has over ten thousand elites guarding it, how could they be attacked by a few people?”
The beetle warrior gingerly said, “One of them had the rare spatial energy, so our channel’s defenses and fortifications had no use at all. When we noticed them, they had already entered the Purgatory channel.”
“Waste, all of you are waste!” The commander immediately roared out, “Quickly, quickly, chase for me! We can’t let them return to Purgatory!”
Nikello City gathered twenty thousand elites as quickly as possible, gathering at the Purgatory channel as soon as possible. With a giant noise, the channel was slowly opened.
Several dozen spirit insect commanders gave the order.
Twenty thousand elite soldiers wildly charged forward like a wave.
…………
Chu Tian thought the Purgatory channel would be a long channel, but it was not like this at all. After they entered the channel from Nikello City, they didn’t walk far before they reached an underground space. The terrain was very complicated, not inferior to the channels between the surface world and the Subterranean World.
What was even worse was that both of them were in a very weak condition. Chu Tian didn’t have any bodily injuries, his main injuries were to his spiritual energy, but this had a large effect on his strength. The dark elf had been trapped for several days and suffered all kinds of torture, so his body was heavily injured, cutting his battle strength down by a large amount.
Chu Tian felt his head becoming dizzy and he stopped to take several breaths as he said, “How long do we still have to go?”
“There are several hundred miles between Purgatory and the Subterranean Worlds. With our current speed, if we don’t get lost, it’ll take over three days.”
“What? Three days! What kind of joke is this!”
This was under the condition they didn’t get lost.
The Subterranean World was an underground world and the space between the Subterranean and Purgatory Worlds was an area the surface dwellers could not imagine. This place was filled with strange creatures, many of them that Chu Tian couldn’t even name.
The dark elf saw Chu Tian didn’t move and very anxiously said, “The Subterranean lackies will find us soon. If we are caught by them, we shouldn’t think of going to Purgatory! Quickly move!”
“No, moving like this is like being a headless fly. This kind of terrain is this complicated, we’ll reach a dead end sooner or later.”
“There is still hope now, but if we just stand her, we will die without a doubt!”
“Only you will die, not me. Father can leave this place whenever I want.”
“You……”
Chu Tian was too lazy to waste words, so he looked down at the little fox. The little fox understood Chu Tian’s meaning and immediately called out a Thunderbird with its demonic technique. Chu Tian jumped onto the back of the giant bird and held the bird’s feathers as he shouted to the stunned dark elf on the side, “What are you in a daze for? We need to leave!”
The Thunderbird let out a sharp bird’s cry and charged into the bottomless world as fast as lightning. With this incredibly fast Thunderbird as transport and the little fox with the Divine Eye guiding them, this combination could be considered perfect. The probability of escaping would increase significantly.
However, the dark elf and Chu Tian didn’t let their guard down.
The Thunderbird didn’t carry the two of them far before suddenly several large moths caught up. These moths were several meters long and each one had a spirit insect expert on their back. It was clear they had already locked onto Chu Tian and the dark elf.
“Damn, they caught up this quickly?”
The little fox didn’t transform, but its eyes turned a demonic green colour as it used its technique on the moth demon beasts. The moths were soon all controlled and one spat green flames at another, instantly burning half of its body. The other moth demon beasts began to fight each other.
While this was happening.
Several moths came from the passages around them, as well as some riding giant bats. The little fox’s demonic technique was useful against demon beasts, but there were too many of them and the little fox couldn’t deal with them all.
Chu Tian forcefully pulled the Thunderbird’s feather and shouted, “Move quicker!”
Several dozen spirit beast controlled demon beasts came close and several moths spat out a green demonic flame. This flame was very strong and if the Thunderbird was hit, it would lose the ability to do anything. The little fox was controlling the Thunderbird to dodge the flames while also using its demonic technique to deal with the moths coming forward to attack them.
But right at this time.
Several high frequency energy waves came over. When the energy waves hit the rock, they instantly turned it into powder. There was one wave that hit the Thunderbird’s abdomen, creating a blast of bird feathers. The Thunderbird gave a pitiful cry and turned a few times in the air. It became slower and there was blood that came out of its mouth. Although it didn’t look that injured on the outside, quite a few of its internal organs were blasted.
Chu Tian had no other way, he suddenly called his main source spirit. His eyes turned the green colour of life energy and a green light poured into the Thunderbird, instantly healing the heavily injured Thunderbird by a half.
The Thunderbird quickly charged forward again with a cry and the continuous rocks came to an end. There was a giant abyss that appeared in front of them that spread tens of thousands of meters wide, with a lava waterfall hanging over it, looking very grand. The Thunderbird suddenly dived down like a meteor, instantly charging into the abyss.
There were several black bats that chased after it. The space around the bats fluctuated as it released the strong energy wave attack again.
The dark elf stood up seeing this and it was surrounded by black spirit energy, which finally condensed into a giant black bow. A dark attributed source spirit in the form of a bow, it looked like he was a long range attack expert.
The black elf gathered three dark arrows.
The three arrows disappeared as soon as they were fired.
Three bats gave pitiful screeches, taking one arrow each into their body.
Although these monsters with strong vitality didn’t die from an arrow, they were still heavily injured and couldn’t keep attacking the Thunderbird.
The black elf’s cultivation was not weak!
It was most likely in the 7th True Spirit Layer!
This strength whether underground or on the surface was considered a first class expert!
Not to mention the black elf had a rare dark source spirit. His arrows couldn’t be tracked once they were fired, so they had a strong deterrent force.
The pursuing spirit insect soldiers spread out.
Chu Tian found a strange phenomenon, it was like gravity suddenly disappeared. He felt like his body was floating and the surrounding rocks were also floating in the air.
Weightless level!
Chu Tian had studied the continent’s dimensional structure before and the weightless level was a gravity free zone formed by an energy field. There were two known weightless zones on the continent, one at several hundred kilometers in the sky and one at the the place where the depth couldn’t be seen. There was no gravity in these places, so all materials floated there.
Because of this, Chu Tian saw something very incredible.
Countless giant peaks were all floating. Large amounts of lava flowed into the bottomless pit and spread out in front of him like mist, just like it was forming a giant sea.
Chu Tian was getting closer and closer to the sea of fire, “This is……”
The dark elf loudly shouted, “This is the border between the Purgatory and Subterranean Worlds. We have to find a way past this layer of flames and we’ll be able to approach the Purgatory World.”
These words sounded like an irresponsible joke, how could a person jump into an ocean formed out of large amounts of lava? This was no different from seeking death!
The dark elf knew that the surface dwellers would find this hard to believe, so he was thinking about how to explain it.
Who would have thought that Chu Tian wouldn’t ask anything. There was a blue and white flame that came from Chu Tian that quickly surrounded the Thunderbird, including the dark elf and the little fox. The Thunderbird turned into a flame bird. It threw itself into the sea of rocks and charged into the red world of flames.
The sea of flames was formed by the current of energy of the weightless layer. The sea of flames seemed very terrifying, but actually the energy was very unevenly distributed. There were places that could even burn a Titan or a Behemoth, but there were also places where the protective energy of the True Spirit Layer could block it.
Therefore as long as one had enough strength or found a suitable place to charge in, finding a way to enter, one could pass through it.
The little fox used the Divine Eye to guide them, guiding the Thunderbird through the flames.
The sea of flame was deeper than Chu Tian had expected. When they were half through it, Chu Tian felt it was very strenuous. When he was two thirds of the way through, Chu Tian already felt like he couldn’t hold on. When he was four fifths of the way through, the Netherworld Flames quickly disappeared and it couldn’t cover the Thunderbird anymore.
The Thunderbird was burned by the high temperature of the flames, immediately wincing it pain. It could only use its own energy to block the flow.
“Charge out!”
“Charge out!”
Peng!
When they passed through the other side, a large bird that was completely burned black fell from the sky onto the ground like a falling star. It finally made a large boom as it entered the forest.
