Han Li and the other two were walking along a long corridor. Qu Lin was already in front. His glabella flickered with golden light as he sensed Jin Tong's position at all times.
Soon, the corridor came to an end. A huge stone chamber appeared in front of them.
The stone chamber was extremely large, several thousand feet in size. However, it was no longer empty. Black stone pillars that would require several people to encircle stood on both sides of the stone chamber.
These stone pillars were crystal clear. They seemed to be made of some kind of crystal jade. There were rune-like patterns carved on them. They seemed to be some kind of array pattern or some kind of text.
The stone pillars on both sides were arranged in a straight line. There was only a ten-foot-wide passage in the middle that led to the depths of the stone chamber.
It was dim here. One could only vaguely see a closed blue door in the depths of the stone chamber.
When Han Li saw this, he wore an expression of astonishment. He stood at the entrance and asked Lan Yan, "What is it?
He asked Lan Yan, "Fellow Lan, do you know what this place is?"
"I don't know either." Lan Yan shook her head.
"Look at the patterns on the stone pillars. They seem to be the legendary Netherworld Language." Qu Lin carefully examined the patterns on the stone pillars and judged.
"Netherworld Language?" Han Li frowned.
"The so-called Netherworld Language is the language of the legendary Netherworld Realm. I have only seen it in an ancient book a long time ago." Qu Lin said.
"Netherworld Realm?
Is there really such a place in this world? "Han Li's eyes flashed.
"Yes. It is said that it is the place where all things in the world reincarnate. However, very few people can go there, so it gradually became a legend." Qu Lin said.
"Fellow Qu, you can read the Netherworld Language?" Han Li nodded slowly and asked.
It wasn't the first time he heard about reincarnation. He was very curious about the legendary Netherworld Realm. However, he couldn't find any concrete evidence to prove its existence. He didn't expect to find some clues here.
"I only know that this language exists, but I don't understand it. However, these stone pillars look like sealing pillars. I'm afraid there is something sealed inside. As long as we don't touch it, it should be fine." Qu Lin said.
Han Li grunted in agreement. He had also guessed the same thing.
However, he wasn't sure if it was safe to walk over like this.
While thinking, he silently activated the Nine Serenities Demon Eyes, and even risked using his Soul Consciousness to sense the situation of these stone pillars. However, he still couldn't find anything.
"Fellow Daoist Crooked, are you sure that Golden Immortal Devourer is just ahead?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked.
"Not bad, it's not far now.
However, since the Netherworld Characters have appeared here, I can't help but feel that it's a little strange and eerie … In any case, we can't tell if we're going to continue forward or not. It's still up to Friend Han to decide, "Qu Lin nodded and said.
"Since we've already come this far, there's no reason for us to give up halfway.
However, this place isn't normal, so I'll take the lead. Fellow Qu Lin will provide support in the middle, and Fellow Lan will follow behind. "Han Li was silent for a moment before he looked at Qu Lin and said.
Lan Yan naturally had no objections to this and just nodded.
"With Friend Han leading the way, it's naturally the best. Although I'm Golden Immortal Devourer, apart from my physical body, I'm far inferior to Friend Han in terms of cultivation and methods. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle any trouble," Qu Lin said with a smile.
"Then, let's go in. Both of you, be careful," Han Li said.
"Friend Han, don't worry." Lan Yan smiled faintly and winked at Han Li from an angle that Qu Lin couldn't see.
Han Li smiled faintly and took the lead to step into the hall.
Qu Lin followed closely behind, while Lan Yan walked at the back.
His heavy footsteps echoed in the room. After walking for a short distance, nothing unexpected happened.
Han Li didn't relax his mind and was vigilant of everything around him.
Just as they walked to the central area of the hall, a slight rustling sound came from the stone forest on both sides.
Although the sound was soft, Han Li and the others heard it immediately with their cultivation.
"Be careful, there's a situation!" Han Li shouted in a deep voice. His body shone with golden light and protected his whole body.
At this moment, black shadows suddenly appeared on the stone pillars in the hall and squirmed.
Han Li's mind raced upon seeing this, and he stomped his foot into the ground before rushing forward like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, Lan Yan hurriedly followed.
Qu Lin's eyes flashed, but he didn't move forward. Instead, he retreated like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes. Golden light flashed on his body as if he was about to make a move.
But at that moment, the balls of black light on the stone pillars suddenly flashed, and streaks of black light shot out from them like countless bolts, covering the sky as they shot toward Han Li and the others.
Shrill whistling sounds came from the black light and echoed in the hall. It made people's Divine Soul tremble and made them nauseous.
Han Li didn't care about Qu Lin anymore. He hurriedly used the Soul-Refining Art to stabilize his Divine Soul. At the same time, golden lightning appeared on his body.
He waved his hand and the lightning turned into golden lightning whips. They flew in all directions and collided with the black light.
The power of thunder and lightning contained in the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had advanced to Du Tian God Thunder. Its power had increased greatly. As the golden lightning flashed, the nearby void faintly burned.
When the black light and the golden lightning whips collided, they immediately exploded.
Lan Yan waved her hand and summoned a dozen blue flying sabers. They danced around her, forming an exquisite saber array to block the black light.
The saber array was quite powerful. Although it trembled under the black light, it was still able to block it.
Qu Lin's skin turned a pure golden color. He didn't block the black light and let it hit him. He continued to fly back like lightning.
The black light hit his body and issued a series of loud "Bang" sounds. However, it didn't cause much damage to him. It only left a few shallow marks on his body. It didn't hurt him at all.
Qu Lin flew out of the range of the black light in the blink of an eye. He landed at the entrance of the stone room. His hands suddenly became bright with golden light. He waved them forward.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" Two golden lights shot out from his palms. They flashed and hit the wall of the stone room.
There were two shallow protrusions on the wall. They were smashed by the two golden lights with two muffled "Bang" sounds.
The black light that erupted from the stone pillars suddenly became ten times brighter. However, it didn't attack Han Li and Lan Yan. Instead, it changed its direction and shot into the ground.
There was a buzzing sound.
In an instant, a layer of dense black light appeared on the ground. Pitch-black Netherworld Characters that were as black as ink appeared one after another. As they surged and intertwined, they formed a somewhat hazy and huge picture. It seemed to be some kind of strange formation, and it emitted waves of bone-chilling coldness that caused one's body to shiver.
Han Li suddenly felt his body tighten. He fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
At the same time, the black array on the ground emitted countless black threads of light. They enveloped his body.
Han Li's hands and feet seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible steel hoop. He couldn't move. The Fa Li in his body also froze.
Lan Yan was in an even worse situation. She fell straight to the ground before Han Li. She was imprisoned by the black array and couldn't move.
"Qu Lin, what is the meaning of this?" Han Li asked in a deep voice.
Although he never really trusted Qu Lin, he didn't expect that Qu Lin would be so familiar with this place. He even knew how to control the restriction of this place. Otherwise, he wouldn't be trapped so easily.
Qu Lin's previous pretense of bringing them to find Jin Tong with a huge amount of Immortal Meta Stones was obviously a lie. Qu Lin obviously led them here on purpose.
"Friend Han, thank you for bringing me to the Nine Yuan Temple. Moreover, you also brought me to the vicinity of the Golden Devourer. You saved me a lot of trouble." Qu Lin smiled proudly.
"Your purpose is also for the Golden Devourer?
Have you been here before? "Han Li asked.
"Since things have come to this, why do you still ask when you already know the answer?
We Golden Devourer devoured each other to achieve real evolution. Moreover, the Golden Devourer devoured one of my avatars. I want to take back the power that belongs to me. "Qu Lin's face revealed a cold smile.
"One of your avatars …" Han Li's heart moved.
Could it be that the Golden Devourer devoured by Jin Tong was related to Qu Lin?
"Let's stop chatting here. If we don't leave now, Gui Lingzi will arrive soon. You two can slowly stay here." Qu Lin had no intention to stay any longer. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, a loud "bang" sound was heard. The stone door in the depths of the stone room suddenly opened.
The darkness in the stone room suddenly condensed. At the same time, a cold wind blew in the room. A huge black shadow suddenly shot out from the stone door and shrouded Han Li and the other two.
Han Li and Lan Yan were originally imprisoned on the ground. At this moment, they were pressed by the huge force of the black shadow. They couldn't move at all. Lan Yan even directly sat on the ground.
"Damn it!
It came so fast! "Qu Lin's face revealed an annoyed expression. He rubbed his hands.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing whistling sound was heard. Countless sword-like crystal lights burst out from Qu Lin's body. They condensed and turned into a magnificent golden sword shadow. Then, it slashed at the black shadow in mid-air.
With a "chi la" sound, a hole was suddenly torn in the terrifying aura emitted by the black shadow.
Qu Lin's face was filled with joy. He immediately turned into a golden light and flew back the way he came.
"It's you!
Back then, you betrayed the Nine Yuan Temple and fled. Today, you dare to come back. Then, don't think of leaving again! "An ear-piercing voice came from mid-air.
Before the voice died away, a huge black claw the size of a house appeared out of thin air in front of the golden light that Qu Lin had turned into.
The huge claw was covered with scales. In particular, the five huge nails were full of strange runes and patterns. It emitted an incomparably fierce power. Everywhere it passed, the void was like a curtain that was easily cut into five neat black marks.
"Chi la" A crisp sound was heard. The golden light that Qu Lin had turned into exploded. His figure emerged. Impressively, he had already been chopped into five or six pieces.
However, the surface of those pieces flashed with golden light. They turned into six golden beetles the size of a human head. They continued to shoot forward like lightning. In an instant, they disappeared into the passage they came from.
"Huh!"
The black shadow in mid-air flashed and turned into a Youth wearing a black robe. His cheeks were thin and long. His eyes were gloomy and cold. His face revealed a bewildered expression.
"Gui Lingzi!" On the ground below, Han Li slightly narrowed his eyes and murmured.
